Chapter 352 Sea Pear

The cave that Yang Long mentioned is located on the mountainside of the only mountain on the island.

The surrounding area was overgrown with weeds, and the entrance to the cave was small, requiring one to stoop to enter.

Mogu was too large to fit inside.

Qin Ziwen squatted down and examined the cave entrance, which required him to bend over to enter. It was pitch black inside, and he had no idea what the environment was like.

So he didn't rush in.

"My lord, I'll go in and take a look first," Du Yu said in a low voice.

Qin Ziwen shook his head slightly and turned to look at Yang Long.

Yang Long understood immediately, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'll lead the way."

"be careful."

Yang Long led two people ahead, with himself walking second to last and Du Yu walking at the very back.

About ten minutes later, a buzzing sound came from deep inside the cave, like the moo of some kind of wild animal.

After a while, the four of them hurriedly returned by the same route.

"My lord, once inside, we are on a high platform with a pool at the bottom. The pool is about three or four meters above the platform. There is indeed a tree growing on the wall behind the pool, with extensive roots covering the entire wall, some of which are submerged in the pool. There is a wild beast at the bottom of the pool. The environment is dark, so we can't see its appearance clearly. It is not moving fast and is entrenched in the pool." Du Yu reported what he had seen and heard.

It seems Yang Long wasn't lying.

However, the cave was too small for Mogu to enter, and neither could the horned eagle and Red Hare.

There's probably only one way to get through this.

That means you go in first, then open the node in your homestead and enter through the node.

However, if you want to open a new node, you must first close some redundant nodes.

Each node is precious, and some locations are quite special. Once activated, the node will enter a one-week cooldown period, so you need to check if the plants inside are worth activating the node.

With a whistle, the harpy eagle descended from the sky, and Qin Ziwen instructed it to take Mogu back to their home first.

After waiting for a while until the harpy eagle returned, he bent down and went inside.

At first it was extremely narrow, but after walking several dozen steps, it suddenly opened up into a bright and spacious area.

The interior is spacious and surprisingly hidden.

They were on a protrusion suspended on the inner wall.

Qin Ziwen took out a solar-powered flashlight and turned it on to its maximum lumen output.

It was instantly illuminated.

The first thing that catches the eye is a giant tree in front of you.

This tree, growing inside the mountain wall cavity, seemed particularly cramped, like a tall person living in a small house, hunched over, bending down, growing and spreading out along the dome, its branches laden with yellow, pear-shaped fruits.

Like a gourd.

Below was a spacious pool of water, its surface rippling. As the flashlight shone, the deep blue bottom of the pool was obscured, and in the center of that blue, a black shadow was swirling.

"interesting."

Qin Ziwen looked around, his gaze finally settling on the tree.

Insight.

【Extraordinary Sea Pear Tree】

【Sea Pear Fruit (Superb): ① Detoxifies the body after consumption ② Long-term consumption enhances resistance to toxins】

Detoxification, and increasing poison resistance?

it works.

His gaze then fell upon the tree, where countless sea pears, like puppies being laid, stretched out in abundance. He was quite tempted by what he saw.

If all these extraordinary fruits were sacrificed, how much original essence of laws would be obtained?

On one of the branches, a fruit swayed precariously and suddenly fell.

"Puff~"

The moment it fell into the water, a dark shadow leaped out from the bottom of the pool, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed the falling sea pear, as if it had been waiting for a long time.

Under the light of the flashlight, the shadowy figure revealed its true form: a large, snow-white snake.

The snake had some black spots on its body, making it look somewhat mottled.

【Extraordinary Short-snouted Black-scaled Viper: ☆☆★★★】Level 1 Blood Poison, Level 2 Antidote Blood

After looking at its panel, Qin Ziwen frowned.

It has a high star rating and a fierce-sounding name, but it turns out to be such a Karami?

It's only level 1 venom.

Furthermore, it possesses a level 2 detoxifying blood, meaning its detoxifying ability is even stronger than its poisoning ability.

Isn't this a bit of a reversal of the natural order?

His gaze fell on the sea pear, and his expression shifted slightly. Could it be because of the sea pear?

Its name contains the word "black scales," but it looks like a white snake.

Sea pear fruit can detoxify the body, and long-term consumption can also enhance toxin resistance. This short-snouted black-scaled ferocious snake has been living at the bottom of the pool for who knows how long. Over the years, it has been eating sea pear fruit, which can detoxify the body, until it has dried out and gone bad.

After swallowing the sea pear fruit that had fallen into the pool, the short-snouted black-scaled serpent raised its head, its eyes gleaming with ferocity as it stared intently at the four people on the platform.

This snake is quite large; the portion floating on the water's surface alone is over two meters long, and given its location, it already poses a significant threat.

Qin Ziwen opened the node.

The moment the node appeared, the short-snouted black-scaled serpent seemed to be stimulated by something, and it jumped up like a spring.

In mid-air, before it even landed, a large hand struck first, precisely grabbing the neck of the short-snouted black-scaled serpent.

The vicious snake opened its mouth wide, preparing to bite the owner of the hand.

With a flick of his hand, the short-snouted black-scaled serpent seemed to have its bones shaken apart, and its eyes instantly became clear.

Its limp, drooping tail.

"Ha, what audacious beast, daring to attack its master." Mogu bent down, stepping out of the portal with only one foot.

Standing close to Mogu, Yang Long felt as if he were standing next to an ancient ferocious beast, his blood running cold and his teeth chattering uncontrollably.

He had watched from afar when Mogu slew the Mosasaurus with his hammer, and at that time he felt that the giant was like a god of war.

Standing beside him now, I felt my hair stand on end, as if I were looking at a demon.

"Don't kill it, spare its life and take it back to keep it in captivity for now." Qin Ziwen called out to Mogu. The blood of this short-snouted black-scaled ferocious snake could detoxify, and it seemed to have undergone some kind of change due to its long-term consumption of sea pear fruit. He felt that its value in living was greater than its value in dying.

Mogu lowered his eyes and stared at the white snake. "My master has been very kind in sparing your life. I hope you will behave yourself."

After saying that, Mogu swung his arm, and the white snake's head hit the wall, instantly knocking it unconscious.

Then Mogu's gaze fell on the sea pear tree in front of him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "A sea pear tree?"

"Have you met him before?"

“It’s a fairly common type of extraordinary fruit tree that prefers to live in a humid coastal environment, though it can also thrive by rivers or lakes. But this is the first time I’ve seen a sea pear tree this big,” Mogu added. “Generally speaking, when planting extraordinary plants, we don’t let them grow too big. A huge fruit tree may have a high total yield, but most of its nutrients are used to maintain the branches and leaves, and the proportion used for fruit production is actually lower.”

Qin Ziwen seemed to be deep in thought; he had heard Wei Zhaohua mention this before.

Mogu said, "However, Master, we don't have many extraordinary plants in our home right now, and there's a lot of empty space in the Rare Plant Garden. It would be good if the new plants were a bit bigger."
