Chapter 700 Xuanling Fruit
Chapter 700 Xuanling Fruit
Ling Feng carried An Xue on his back, and the two of them walked through the valley for a long time.
To not miss the special environment around them, he chose to walk in the middle of the valley as much as possible, so that if there were any special places on the mountains on both sides, they could see them.
Unfortunately, both sides were towering mountains reaching into the clouds, with their peaks shrouded in mist, obscuring any strange sights.
They walked for a long time like this, and only when the sky gradually darkened did Ling Feng finally speak, "We’ve come out at least ten kilometers, it clearly doesn’t make sense to go back, so let’s find another place to rest."
"Okay, I’ll listen to you!"
An Xue lay on his back, feeling an unprecedented sense of security, and spoke softly.
Ling Feng moved forward, searching for a habitable environment, when suddenly An Xue stretched out her little hand and pointed forward, asking, "What’s that?"
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng turned his head to look and saw a crevice on the mountain wall to the right, which seemed to be a cave.
So he turned and headed over there.
Once they got close, it turned out to indeed be the mouth of a cave!
"This is perfect, we won’t get rained on tonight."
Ling Feng smiled and walked in with An Xue on his back.
As they entered the gap, the space suddenly opened up—an incredibly large area!
Above their heads were several fissures, through which sunlight poured down, illuminating the entire cave.
"Wow, there’s a pond!"
An Xue exclaimed with a surprised face.
Ling Feng looked and sure enough, there was a waterhole on one side of the cave—about half the size of a soccer field, glittering with light.
Approaching the water, they could clearly see to the bottom, with only a few small fish slightly bigger than toothpicks swimming about, obviously posing no danger.
So he nodded, "Now you have a place to bathe."
After speaking, he turned back, unable to see An Xue’s expression, and asked with a laugh, "You’ve been wanting to bathe for a while, haven’t you?"
"Yes, I should have washed when I got out of the sea. I scraped off the salt on my body with my hands," An Xue said.
Ling Feng laughed to himself, wondering if her skin was still salty.
Although he was tempted to ask, he knew it sounded teasing, so he forced himself to hold it back.
Suddenly remembering she was still being carried, An Xue quickly struggled, "Please put me down; you’ve been carrying me for so long!"
"It’s no trouble, you’re so light."
Ling Feng laughed, but he still set her down.
An Xue immediately went over to the pond and scooped up some water.
The temperature was acceptable, not too cold.
Turning to see Ling Feng watching her, she paused, "I’m not going to wash now, I’ll wait until tonight."
"Oh, then I’ll go check out the environment here first."
Ling Feng nodded and turned to leave.
After he left, An Xue’s face turned red!
Because she suddenly remembered a serious problem!
When they had changed into their diving suits, she wasn’t wearing anything underneath!
That meant she had no change of clothes!
Bathing would mean being stark naked, and it would be the same when she came out.
"What am I going to do?"
Watching Ling Feng walk away into the distance, An Xue was torn!
Of course, Ling Feng was unaware of the girl’s troubles; he was focused on the massive cave.
This place was completely different from the one the night before.
The previous one was more like a narrow, corridor-like cave, while this one was more like a grand hall, a huge empty circular space.
However, as he approached a stone wall on one side, several round stones immediately caught his attention.
"Could these be, tables and stools?"
Although quite rough, Ling Feng still recognized them—these were stone furniture carved by hand!
Continuing forward, more stone tools appeared before his eyes, such as stone knives and stone axes.
It was unknown how many years ago people had lived here.
However, seeing the thick layer of dust, it was clear that this place hadn’t been visited in a long time.
After making a round inside the cave, Ling Feng didn’t find anything special and returned to An Xue with a hint of disappointment.
Seeing her staring blankly, Ling Feng couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing at all."
An Xue snapped out of it and quickly shook her head.
"Oh, why don’t you take a bath now? I’ll go outside and see if there’s anything to eat. We can’t keep eating roasted fish."
Ling Feng smiled and walked outside.
Upon hearing this, An Xue immediately shouted, "I’ll come with you!"
"Hm?"
Ling Feng paused, then chuckled, "Silly girl, don’t you realize I was giving you some privacy? Then how will you bathe when I come back?"
"That’s none of your business!"
An Xue said, her face flushed, biting her lip.
"Alright, then I won’t interfere!"
Ling Feng shook his head helplessly and turned to leave the cave.
An Xue immediately followed, and the two searched the forest at the cave entrance.
This time, not only did they find coconuts, but they also encountered two mountain chickens. With Ling Feng’s rapid hand speed, the chickens had no chance to escape before being pierced through by a sharp tree branch, instantly dead.
Just as they were about to head back to cook dinner satisfied, An Xue, with her sharp eyes, pointed at the foot of the mountain ahead, "What’s that over there?"
"Huh?"
Ling Feng turned his head and saw green vines covering the area. Beneath the leaves, something red could occasionally be glimpsed.
"It might be some wild fruit. Let’s go have a look."
Ling Feng said, holding a chicken in one hand and pulling her with the other, as they quickly walked over.
Upon closer inspection, they found a large patch of green vines. Among the leaves were red fruits, about the size of tomatoes, but these were clearly not tomatoes, as the fruits had faint yellow patterns on them.
"What’s this?"
An Xue asked, her eyes filled with curiosity as she crouched down.
Ling Feng smiled, "You’ll find out soon."
After speaking, he picked a fruit.
Then, a prompt appeared in his mind: "Xuanling Fruit."
When he read the following prompt, he was stunned!
The effect of the Xuanling Fruit was to change the constitution of whoever ate it!
Which meant that an ordinary person like An Xue could enhance her physical fitness to the level of Dark Energy just by eating one!
"Damn!"
Ling Feng couldn’t help but exclaim, startling An Xue!
"What’s wrong?" she asked anxiously.
"Isn’t this amazing?"
Ling Feng said, astonished, then handed the fruit to her, "Eat it. After you do, there will be a surprise for you!"
"Uh, what kind of surprise?"
An Xue became a bit nervous. Ling Feng’s delighted expression seemed to suggest that the fruit might not be a good thing!
Could it be that eating it would immediately set aflame with desire?
Otherwise, why would he be so happy?
If Ling Feng knew what An Xue was thinking, he would probably spit out a mouthful of blood, right?
