Chapter 893: Deeply Involved in the Search for the Supreme

Four days later, a loud bang was heard somewhere in the forest. The air current pushed the branches and grass outward, startling the surrounding birds and insects and causing them to fly away.

Chen Chuan retracted his fist. In front of him was a creature that looked like a wild boar. Its body was as big as a hill, but now half of its body facing him was sunk into the mud, as it had been hit by a punch.

This thing is called a rat-pig. Like the ram, it has a strong sense of territory. However, the latter is straightforward and fearless of strong enemies, while this thing is completely ignorant and has a dull perception. After noticing the movement of him walking, it immediately rushed towards him.

It was also the first time for him to see food delivered to his door for free. The nutritional value of this food was actually average, and if it didn't provoke him, he had no interest in actively capturing it.

But since she came over on her own initiative, he couldn't waste it.

In terms of taste, the meat is actually very good. There is a special breeding base at the garrison in Jiaorong.
Just in terms of size, it is rare to see one this big. It must have entered the depths of the fusion area.

But just as he was thinking this, he felt that the situation was a little unusual.

Generally, porcupines live in groups, but this one looks like there is only one, and it is quite large. Just standing on four legs, it is three or four meters tall. It is very likely that there is something special about it.

He checked it based on the information provided in the illustration and found some clues. This porpoise was actually not very old. It had just reached adulthood not long ago. It must have eaten some high-energy nutrients in the past to have such a large size.

He stood up and glanced outside. It seemed that there was something nearby.

He immediately called out to Chao Ming in the sky and asked it to search the surroundings.

After waiting for a few minutes, he heard a cry from above, perhaps it was a discovery, so he immediately followed it and soon arrived at a relatively hidden and narrow valley.

This place is about three or four acres of land, located in a crack in the mountain. You can see burning high-energy algae above, and thick smoke is floating above. You can smell a pungent odor before coming in, but it disappears once you are inside. It is also relatively warm here. There is a larger opening on the side, through which you can see the conical mountain outside that looks like a volcano.

Chao Ming was able to find this place because this porpoise often came and went here, resulting in a conspicuous trace that could be seen when looking down from high in the sky.

There were vines climbing everywhere on the mountain walls, and green fruits the size of persimmons hung from the tops.

Chen Chuan took a few glances and immediately recognized the origin of this thing.

"So it's a demon fruit, no wonder..."

According to the records in the illustrated manual, a vine can produce dozens or even hundreds of this kind of fruit. The special thing about this fruit is that most of the fruits may have different effects. Some can be used as medicine, some are extremely toxic, and some are simply sweet fruits. However, there is also a small chance that some rare effects will be produced, such as containing extremely rich high-energy nutrients.

Moreover, the same fruit may undergo some changes after a period of time, which is very uncertain. Theoretically, even the function of the lotus seeds of the Nine-Aperture Stone Lotus may be born, but the probability is too small. The disadvantage is that the growth conditions are extremely harsh and it is impossible to grow it on a large scale. It is said that many pharmaceutical companies have failed in their attempts.

The fruits containing the magic fruit all look the same, and no one knows what the effect will be before eating them. The guinea pig may have eaten the more useful ones, which caused some changes in its body, and it may also have a physique that can identify and resist poisons. The others of the same kind may not be so lucky.

Chen Chuan counted and found that there were only about fifty fruits left on the vine. Most people might not dare to try this thing easily, but he was not afraid of the toxins and abnormal effects in it.

If you can eat one of the fruits which contain high-energy nutrients, you will make a profit. If you don’t have one, it is not a loss either. This thing tastes very good too.

So he thought about it, dissected the guinea pig outside, came over here and roasted it over the fire, while picking the fruits one by one and trying to eat them.

Even without a second self, the fighter's physique and the pure school's secret furnace are enough to resist and eliminate anything that is harmful to me.

Chao Ming waited obediently on the side, watching the skewers of grilled meat rolling on the campfire and making sizzling sounds.

Chen Chuan sat on a pile of stones and looked out through the open mountain pass. The mountain where high-energy algae were burning looked somewhat familiar. He felt vaguely that it was somewhat similar to the Jiaoshan Mountain in Yangzhi City, but he didn't know if there was any connection between the two.

After eating half of the fruit, many skewers were cooked and the aroma of barbecue filled the air. He took out a handful and gave it to Chao Ming, then took one for himself, sprinkled some simple salt and pepper on it, and started eating.

He bit open the crispy outer skin and chewed it gently, and the smooth juice inside flowed out, instantly filling his mouth with fragrance. In fact, the meat and juice were still relatively hot at this moment, but it was just right for him, especially the top-grade meat, which was absolutely a rare delicacy. He felt a sense of satisfaction and happiness after eating it, and it was well worth a taste even if the nutritional value was limited.

He and Chao Ming ate for more than an hour in one go. When they felt they had enough, they picked the last few magic fruits and ate them. At this moment, they felt a surge of abundant energy spreading through their bodies.

He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He really ate it?

After a second thought, he looked at the environment outside. Was it because this area was prone to producing this kind of fruit? That was not a coincidence.

Well, remember this place and come back next time. He felt the energy being greedily absorbed by the alienated tissue in his body, thought for a moment, and took out the white jade-like alienated tissue he got from the flying snake's brain from his pocket.

This thing is actually wrapped in an alienated hard shell, which contains all the nutrients stored by the flying snake for its self-transformation. As long as this hard layer is still there, it can be preserved for a long time.

He was considering whether to use this to exchange for some alienated tissues that he needed. After all, although there was a lot of energy and nutrition in it, there were nutritious organisms everywhere here, so they were not indispensable to him.

On the contrary, if this thing were taken out, it might be enough to help some fighters who are trying to break through the third limit increase their chances of success by more than half.

Of course, the premise is that these people's bodies can withstand and absorb the energy, otherwise the alienated tissue may grow wildly, and may also be affected by the remaining spirit of the flying snake.

Of course, if one takes Nine-Aperture Lotus Seeds along with the medicine, or has enough inhibitory drugs, the abnormal growth of alienated tissues can be suppressed. If there is a way, one can also find someone to help comfort the patient mentally.

In short, it is a priceless treasure to those who need it, and perhaps he can exchange it for something far beyond its original value.

After thinking about it, I decided to wait and see.

He put the thing back into his pocket and looked into the distance. When the flying snake's spiritual power hit him, he saw some broken pictures and found that this creature was suspected to have been used as a body by some existence for a short period of time many years ago, but was later abandoned.

Logically it was impossible for it to survive, but maybe that existence stayed for a relatively short time, or maybe it was for some other reason, anyway, it survived, and benefited from it, and knew how to go to a higher level.

What he hoped most for this time was to encounter creatures of the same level. Demons and ghosts certainly didn't count. If he didn't have the Nine-Aperture Stone Lotus, or the ability to enhance his second self, he would be at a complete loss in fighting with them.

Apart from gaining some combat experience, there is almost nothing practical to gain.

But if it is a creature at the same level, the nutrition that can be obtained from the alienated tissue will be incomparable to the creatures seen before, and it may be able to provide him with enough nourishment in one go.

And maybe the obstacles that I need to face in the second place can be overcome.

In his opinion, in such a large area that has not been visited by fighters for a long time, it is very likely to encounter such things, but this may require going deeper into the fusion area.

That will undoubtedly take longer, and there is a certain possibility that nothing will be gained.

However, before he came out, he had planned to practice the Great Bright Light Style and the Great Blue Sky Style a few more times, but he didn't expect that after only about a month, he has almost mastered half of the major styles.

At this rate, it might take just over a month to complete the rest.

In this case, he might as well stay for another month. If he really couldn't find the target he wanted, he would just go back.

By the time I went back, the results of the handling at Yuan'an Company would have almost come out.

Thinking of this, he stood up from the ground, and Chao Ming immediately supported himself. He blew a breath, extinguished the campfire on the ground, picked up the Xuejun Sword that was stuck on the side, put on the coat he had just taken off, put on his hat again, greeted Chao Ming, and walked out of here.

After leaving this area, he did not walk according to the terrain of the mountain this time. Instead, he recalled the fragmented mental image of the flying snake and looked in the direction it came from.

Two days later, he came to an endless wasteland. Standing on the edge, he could see dozens of huge sand tapirs migrating, with many ape-like creatures climbing and jumping on their backs.

This thing tastes terrible and has no nutritional value. It also has a smell that makes all living things avoid it. It is not a good ingredient.

As for those monkeys, these creatures in the fusion land were also not valuable, and they were often very vengeful. If you caught one, groups of them would come looking for you, which was extremely annoying, so he lost interest after taking a look at them.

It's not that there are no other valuable creatures in the wasteland, but they are difficult to find and the direction is hard to determine, so he thought about it and gave up going deeper there and decided to take another route.

At this moment, a monkey suddenly jumped off the tapir's back and ran towards him.
