Chapter Fourteen: This is the Divine Fruit!
The low and cold voice, calm and intimidating, made the two beasts feel nervous.
"Plop!"
Ying Jie and Niu Li both knelt down, lowered their heads in fear, and kept saying yes.
Even the injured king still exudes such a powerful aura that no one dares to disobey him.
"I don't want to say the same thing a second time." Hushen's deep eyes glanced at the two beasts.
"Yes, I know my mistake! I will definitely find the cub safe and sound!"
The two beasts bowed their heads and responded respectfully.
"Wang, your injury..." After Ying Jie finished speaking, he looked worriedly at Hu Shen's injury.
The bone-deep wound showed no signs of getting better and was even getting worse.
Wang Ke is their hope of retaking Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, and he is the leader of all the orcs. There must be no mistakes!
"No problem." Hushen's eyebrows drooped tiredly, and his thin lips were pale and colorless, making the two beasts not dare to relax at all.
Niu Li clenched his fists and said roughly:
"I'd better go out hunting and catch some prey to replenish the body for the king, so that the king can recover as soon as possible!"
He said and walked out of the cave.
"Niu Li, come back." Hu Shen called him in a low voice, "No need to hunt anymore, give me the fruit."
Now is an emergency period. He is seriously injured and unable to defend himself against the enemy. He does not want Niu Li and Ying Jie to risk their lives for food.
"King! You should eat meat. Eating meat can help your injury heal faster!" Niu Li frowned.
"Am I injured and can't even speak anymore?"
Hushen glanced at Niuli.
Niu Li quickly lowered his head, "I don't dare. I'm just worried about the king's health. The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain is still waiting for the king to rescue him. The king can't make any mistakes..."
"I'll be fine, bring the fruit." Hu Shen's tone was calm and cold, showing unquestionable majesty.
Yingjie quickly handed over the fruit, but Niu Li could only shut his mouth when he saw this.
He secretly thought that after the king tasted the unpalatable fruit, he would definitely let him go hunting again.
How can fruit be as delicious as meat? Only meat is the most delicious food that can make orcs stronger!
The bright red fruit was cut into four pieces, and the sweet fragrance of the fruit immediately spread out and floated to the beasts.
The confident Niu Li was stunned for a moment. Why is this fruit so fragrant?
It smelled delicious, completely different from the sour and astringent fruits I had eaten before.
Ying Jie was also surprised, looking at the fruit in Hu Shen's hand in disbelief.
Hushen's appetite was aroused by the aroma, and he took a bite. The sweet juice immediately flowed down the tip of his tongue, as if it was full of power.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Hu Shen felt that the pain in his body seemed to have eased a little.
Under the shocked gazes of Ying Jie and Niu Li, Hu Shen took one bite after another. Unknowingly, the two big fruits were completely eaten, leaving only the bare cores.
Niu Li couldn't help but licked his lips, "Wang, is this fruit... delicious?"
He really wanted to taste it.
"Well, it's okay." Hu Shen said with a calm expression and placed the apple core on the ground.
Two Beasts: Why do they think it’s so good?
Ying Jie was stunned. He wondered if it was his imagination, but the expression on Wang's face seemed to look a little better than before.
Is this fruit a divine fruit?
And the ability to heal injuries?
Hu Shen took a second look at the fruit core. He had never eaten such a fruit before. It was not only big, but also tasted good. After eating it, his whole body was filled with strength. If he had a few more, his injuries would definitely heal faster.
.
Niu Li swallowed his saliva, and when he saw Hu Shen's gaze, he asked Ying Jie anxiously:
"Yingjie, where did you find this fruit? Do you still have it? Go find more and bring it back!"
"I saw them on the way to hunting. There are only two of them. I don't know if there are any more nearby..." Ying Jie said honestly.
"Then go and search again." Niu Li urged.
He is a herbivorous orc, but he has lived with a group of carnivorous orcs in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain since he was a child, and he has also developed the habit of eating meat. In addition, the fruits he has eaten before are either sour or numbing and not tasty at all.
Don't like to eat fruit.
But the fragrance he smelled today immediately awakened his vegetarian instinct!
Yingjie looked at Hushen.
Hushen half-closed his eyes, as if he was resting, and turned a deaf ear to their conversation.
This is tacit approval.
"Okay, then you stay here and guard the king, I'll go and come back." Ying Jie nodded, then walked to the entrance of the stone cave, took off the animal skin, turned into an eagle and flew away.
Not long after, Yingjie returned empty-handed.
"There is no such fruit nearby. This fruit seems to have appeared out of thin air and was placed there on purpose. What a ghost!"
Yingjie looked regretful.
"Fruit can be transformed out of thin air. Could it be that the beast god appeared and gave the king a divine fruit?" Niu Li suddenly widened his eyes and said in disbelief.
They really can't think of any other possibility.
After all, they had never seen fruit like this before.
After hearing the words of the two beasts, Hu Shen also had a flash of regret in his eyes.
Forget it, it was lucky to encounter two such magical fruits. He already felt that his injuries were getting better, and it was only a matter of time before he recovered.
Now he just hopes that the injury will heal quickly. He must find those cubs as soon as possible.
The cubs of their lineage are the most vulnerable, especially the cubs that have not yet been weaned. If they leave the protection of their parents, they have almost no chance of survival.
Even if you are lucky enough to survive, if you cannot absorb enough nutrients, you will be a useless weak beast in the future.
No matter what happens, he will never allow it to happen!
…
Outside the hay shed.
"Wife, daughter, what should we do next? Otherwise, plant the seeds of this apple first. If you plant it earlier, it will bear fruit sooner..."
Su Guodong held the apple core like a treasure and said with a smile.
"I think I'll plant you right away!" Lin Xia grabbed Su Guodong's ears.
"No more planting. I'm just kidding. I'll listen to you. Wife, let go. The kids are all here..."
Su Guodong begged for mercy again and again in embarrassment.
Lin Xia snorted and said angrily:
"Our family is very poor now, and we don't know what season it is now or when the weather will change. Do you plan to let your daughter live in a thatched hut forever?"
"Of course not." Su Guodong quickly shook his head and looked at the desolate scene around him, wondering: "But my wife, there is nothing to build a house here, otherwise we would dig a cave to live in like the orcs of the Gray Wolf tribe.
?”
His proposal was quickly rejected by Su Shiwei.
"No, Dad, the cave is full of moisture and bacteria, it is difficult to clean, and it is easy to be infested by snakes, insects, rats, and ants. Living in a cave is not good for Mom and Tangtang's health, and it will seriously affect their life span."
Su Shiwei said with a serious face.
Living in such an environment for a long time will do great harm to women, that is, the female body here.
"Ah? That's not possible! We can't live in a cave!" Su Guodong immediately shook his head when he heard that it would be harmful to the health of his wife and daughter.
After saying that, he frowned due to headache again.
"But apart from caves and huts, there is no other place for us to live?"
Lin Xia also had a sad look on her face.
As a parent, what you worry about most is that your children don’t have enough to eat, don’t have enough clothes to wear, and don’t have a good place to live.
Su Tang, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke:
