A rare opportunity

Chapter 727: Spirit Nourishing Fruit

No wounds were found on Hu Mei. She was still crying and remained silent. Hu Buzhi was so anxious that he was at a loss as to what to do. He could only ask helplessly:

"Sister! What's wrong with you? Why don't you speak?"

Hu Mei was embarrassed and angry! You're talking like your grandmother! If I could speak, I would have scolded you to death!

Hu Buzhi was worried that the two ape monsters would suddenly appear in front of him, so he didn't care about anything else and immediately possessed Hu Mei and picked her up again!

"No way! Sister, please bear with it for now! Let's escape to a safe place first!"

Although Hu Mei was furious, she felt somewhat relieved that Hu Buzhi hadn't abandoned her. As a result, her mood gradually calmed down. However, she still felt resentful about Hu Buzhi's groping.

After running for a long time, even Hu Buzhi, who was extremely strong, felt a little tired. After all, in order to reduce Hu Mei's bumpy feeling, he had been holding his hands horizontally to maintain Hu Mei's body balance!

Thinking that he was now far enough away from the ape monster and that they should not be able to catch up with him, he found a place with dense weeds and stopped!

Laying Hu Mei flat on the soft weeds, Hu Buzhi vigilantly checked the surroundings. After making sure there was no danger, he sat down and shook his stiff arms.

Hu Mei's anger was still lingering! Even though her mute point had been released, she still glared at Hu Buzhi, refusing to pay any attention.

Hu Buzhi seemed to have gotten used to Hu Mei's attitude and didn't take it to heart. After his arm recovered, he stood up again and looked around!

Although the grass here was lush, there was no shelter. Not to mention any monsters appearing, even if it rained and blew, they would have nowhere to hide! This was obviously not good for Hu Mei's injuries! He needed to find a secret place, at least a place that could shelter him from the wind and rain.

However, looking around, despite being surrounded by high mountains, this place was flat, a small plain within the mountain range! Looking out, there was nothing but weeds. Not even a cave, not even a decent tree! Only a few small, crooked trees grew here and there. On those trees hung a few yellow, fist-sized fruits.

Seeing these fruits, Hu Buzhi's stomach couldn't help but gurgle! He realized that he seemed to have not eaten for a long time! Regardless of whether there was a place to stay or not, he had to fill his stomach first!

His legs reacted much faster than his brain! Before he could figure it out, he had already taken a step and ran towards the nearest fruit tree!

Smelling the alluring fruity aroma, Hu Buzhi didn't care if the fruit was poisonous or not. He immediately reached out and plucked one, stuffing it whole into his mouth! He was so hungry that he swallowed it hastily. Before he could even taste the fruit, the whole thing had already fallen into his stomach!

Having not eaten for a long time, a single fruit whetted his appetite! He immediately reached out and grabbed all six remaining fruits from the tree, stuffing them into his mouth!

After eating seven fruits, Hu Buzhi still felt unsatisfied. He simply went on to pick the fruits one by one. It wasn't until he reached the last tree that he remembered Hu Mei. He immediately plucked the seven fruits from that tree, scooped them up in his coat, and returned to Hu Mei.

Hu Mei thought she had been abandoned by Hu Buzhi again, and was secretly grieving. But when she saw Hu Buzhi appear by her side again, she forgot her hatred for him! With tears in her eyes, she said:

"Where have you been? I thought you..."

However, when he saw Hu Buzhi put a fruit in front of her, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in disbelief!

"What? The Spirit-Nourishing Fruit! Where...where did you get this?"

"The Spirit-Nourishing Fruit? They grow on the trees nearby."

"How many trees? Are they all bearing fruit?"

"It's all over."

"Are they all...all ripe? Go pick them all and give them to me!"

Because she was too excited, Hu Mei couldn't help but tremble when she spoke. Her tone was also hurried and her tone was somewhat commanding.

"I've picked them all. But...but I ate most of them, leaving only these few."

Hu Buzhi said somewhat embarrassedly.

"W-what? I gave you all of it? You're just wasting food! Quick! Give me those!"

Besides being shocked, she was filled with even more regret! Therefore, when Hu Buzhi showed her the other six fruits from his lapel, she unceremoniously used her divine consciousness to place them all into her ring! She thought to herself: Fortunately, this guy still has a conscience and left a few for me. Otherwise, wouldn't I have missed such a great opportunity in vain!

However, it's a bit infuriating to think that this kid actually ate such a precious treasure raw! This is the Nourishing Spirit Fruit! With this Nourishing Spirit Fruit, as long as someone refines a Nourishing Spirit Pill, then my soul will definitely be greatly improved! It can be said that each Nourishing Spirit Fruit is priceless! How many people can hardly get one in their entire lives! And this kid actually swallowed it raw like this! It's a complete waste of food! From his words, it can be seen that he wasted not just one or two fruits, but several trees!

She couldn't imagine how many trees there were, because just thinking about it made her feel pain in her flesh! She wanted to rip open his stomach and take out the nourishing fruit he had swallowed! However, let alone her current serious injuries. Even if she was in her prime, she would be powerless to deal with him! She was no match for him at all!

Seeing Hu Mei's attitude, Hu Buzhi felt that he had done something wrong again! He couldn't help but rub his hands and looked at Hu Mei awkwardly.

First, he was frivolous and rude to her. Then, he swallowed the Yangshen Fruit, causing her to lose the Yangshen Fruit. The more Hu Mei thought about it, the angrier she became. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Hu was being foolish and unjust to her! Therefore, she naturally resented him even more! However, she was seriously injured now, and if she wanted to leave the Yunfu Mountains, she had to rely on him. Therefore, she suppressed her anger and did not say anything extreme. However, she wanted to speak to him in a friendly manner, but she could not do it! After all, she could not forgive him for swallowing the Yangshen Fruit without her knowledge! In her opinion, those Yangshen Fruits should have belonged to her!

Although Hu Mei was still indifferent to him, she no longer glared at him. Hu Buzhi thought she had forgiven him, and he felt much better. After all, she claimed to be his sister! Whether it was true or not, he had subconsciously treated her as his own family!

Since she was his family, he had a responsibility to protect her! He shouldn't make her angry! That's why he tried to lure the ape demon away! That's why he felt guilty and even panicked because of her unhappiness!

At this moment, one may hear a burst of ghostly howling and wolves howling:

"Ah! My Yangshen Fruit! My Yangshen Fruit! Which bastard stole Lord Rabbit's Yangshen Fruit? I'm going to skin him alive!

Ah...! Little bastard! It turned out to be you! It turned out to be you who stole my Yang Shen Fruit! Get over here now!"

Frightened, Hu Buzhi looked up hastily and saw a big white rabbit staring at him fiercely!

It was indeed a big white rabbit, not a big white elephant! It was just because it had long, pointed ears instead of wide ones! It was just because it didn't have a long nose and tusks, but a cleft lip!

However, when Hu Buzhi saw this rabbit, he felt an inexplicable palpitation! It wasn't because of its huge size, but an indescribable aura! Even though it was full of foul language, even though it had the appearance of a harmless rabbit! It was obvious that this was a rabbit that could transform and speak human language!

From this rabbit, he felt a pressure even more powerful than that from the ape monster!

Hu Mei, lying on the ground, was startled upon hearing the sound! Hu Buzhi didn't know, but she did know that there were three powerful demonic beasts in the Yunfu Mountains: a wolf, a rabbit, and a goshawk! They were known as the Three Sages of Yunfu! They had all reached the fifth level of demonic saint cultivation! And this rabbit was clearly the second-ranked giant white rabbit!
