This isn't a souls-like game at all.

The towering tree, which was originally hidden in the darkness, is now shining brightly.

They also heard the church hunter mumbling dazedly not far away.

"The Tongtian Tree...why did it suddenly bear fruit?"

"result?"

"Is this also the reason for the sacrificial ceremony?" Bai Yu asked.

"Besides that, there's no other explanation. Otherwise, it would be too coincidental...eh?"

Sensing the whistling sound of wind falling from the sky, Ye Yiyi reached out and grabbed a golden fruit in his hand.

The two looked at each other in surprise, seeming a little surprised.

"Is this the fruit of the Tongtian Tree?"

Ye Yiyi looked down, and a light curtain popped up.

【Lingering Golden Fruit】

Chapter 260 [Spiritual Waterfall] and [Immortal Whip]

【Lingering Golden Fruit】

Item Description: A strange fruit emitting golden light.

One of the golden fruits condensed from the branches of the earth veins.

One of the materials used to make props,

It can also be used as a recipe ingredient.

Direct use can eliminate all abnormal conditions.

This does not include abnormal states caused by divine pollution and stagnation curse.

It is said that the Fruit of Gold is a sacred blessing bestowed by the earth veins.

Therefore, it contains a strong sense of sacredness.

"Eliminate all abnormal conditions?"

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi looked up at the glittering crown of the towering tree, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"With such a powerful effect, should I go up and pick more fruits?"

As if it heard Ye Yiyi's mumbling, another gust of wind blew, and a large number of lingering golden fruits turned into golden meteors and fell from the sky, hitting him on the forehead.

"Really?!"

Ye Yi opened his mouth wide and quickly pushed Bai Yu, who was also stunned beside him.

"Hurry, hurry! Come and pick up the fruit!"

"Ah? Oh oh!"

The female knight finally reacted and caught the golden meteor falling from the sky together with Ye Yiyi.

When the golden meteor fell, it seemed to have found the right position. It did not fall anywhere else, but instead fell on the bottom of the Tongtian Tree, where Ye Yiyi and the other person were.

Four or five meters away from them, two hunters on guard looked at Ye Yiyi and Bai Yu with blank expressions as they caught all the golden meteors falling from the sky in their hands without moving a step. Their brains gradually froze.

"The fruit of the Tongtian Tree actually falls down?"

"Wait a minute, why did all the fruits of the Tongtian Tree fall on them? Didn't we have any?"

A hunter asked his companion in a daze, but he didn't notice that a meteor with a slightly dimmer light than the one Ye Yiyi caught suddenly fell from the sky and hit the hunter directly on the forehead.

"Ouch!"

The hunter exclaimed, and before he could react, a fruit that also emitted a faint golden light appeared in his hand.

"what?"

The hunter stared at the fruit that appeared inexplicably in his hand in a daze.

"Outrageous!"

The companion who was watching this scene widened his eyes. He clearly saw the fruit falling from the sky, hitting his companion's forehead, bouncing back, and then falling into his hand.

How could such a coincidence happen in this world?!

"Ouch!"

Before he could react, he felt something hit his forehead. When he came to his senses again, he had a golden fruit in his hand.

"Me too?!"

The two hunters each held a fruit, looked at each other with wide eyes, and then they heard a hunter shouting not far away.

"Look up! Look! Is that a golden meteor shower!?"

The two hunters looked up in the direction of the sound, only to see countless golden rays falling from the crown of the towering tree, and then turning into a golden meteor shower in the sky, covering the entire city.

"This is the blessing of the Tongtian Tree!! The Tongtian Tree has manifested its power!"

On the streets, humans and cat people holding golden fruits cheered loudly.

"Christmas Day meow! Christmas Day is here meow!"

"Mom! Mom! Come out quickly and receive the blessing of the Sky-reaching Tree!!"

"Praise the Earth Mother! Praise the Sky-reaching Tree!"

"Why did the Earth Mother Church collapse during the day, and the Sky-reaching Tree appeared at night?!"

"That's right! The Hunting God Church is right! The Archbishop of the Earth Mother Cult has been controlled by the evil god. The one who tried to climb the Sky-reaching Tree during the day was the evil god!"

"Destroy the evil god! Praise the Sky-reaching Tree! Praise the Church of the Hunting God!"

"Everyone, look! These knights of the Knight Bureau who call themselves the Tree Lance Knights don't have a single golden fruit! They've been abandoned by the Sky-reaching Tree!!"

"Catch them! They are followers of the evil god!!"

Looking at the large crowds of people walking out of their houses and onto the streets, waving golden fruits in their hands under the golden meteor shower, the people turned the streets into a boiling carnival day.

At this moment, the old hunter Fan Weilo was standing in front of the broken glass window, holding two golden fruits, with a very strange expression on his face.

"Could it be that the Tongtian Tree really showed its spirit?"

"I think so, otherwise the fruit wouldn't have broken the glass and landed precisely in your hand."

Erica, holding three golden fruits, picked up the fallen tricorn hat, put it back on with a complicated expression, and then answered.

Just now she was discussing the issue of the Forest Oak Cult with the old hunter, and then a golden meteor fell from the sky, smashing the glass windows of the office and "delivering" the fruit to their heads.

The lady rubbed her forehead, somewhat puzzled. "But why must this fruit hit my head?"

"I don't know either. Maybe it has some special meaning."

The old hunter put the fruit on the table with a smile on his face.

"Lord Fanwillow!!"

At this time, a hunter rushed into the office, holding a golden fruit in his hand, and reported loudly while panting.

"Oh no, Lord Van Willow. That bounty hunter, Wator, was knocked unconscious by the golden fruit that fell from the sky?"

"Knocked unconscious?"

Erica raised her eyebrows and waved the three fruits in her hand towards the hunter.

"But I was hit three times and nothing happened..."

"Watol received more than 30 blows!"

"Ah?" The lady was completely stunned.

"More than 30 times?" Fan Weiluo glanced down at the two golden fruits on the table and said thoughtfully, "You mean, he was given more than 30 fruits?"

"That's right!"

After receiving the hunter's affirmative answer, Erica and Fan Willow looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

"Watol once went to the underground ruins with Lord Michaela, and even he was rewarded with over 30 golden fruits. What about Lord Michaela?"

"...298, 299, 300! Exactly 300! How about you?"

Under the towering tree, after counting the fruits he had received, Ye Yiyi looked up at Bai Yu who had already finished counting.

"I only have 48." Bai Yu replied.

"This is too far off." Ye Yiyi frowned.

"Perhaps, it's because the ley lines favor you more?"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and replied, "After all, you just gave the Earth a hymn of purity. Perhaps this is a gift in return."

"You know what, there is indeed such a possibility."

Ye Yiyi thought about it and nodded, then patted his butt and stood up straight.

"Anyway, let's leave it at that for now. Now that the sacrificial ceremony has been successfully completed, I should go back and deal with the issue of the Cursed Death Tower. If you need anything else later, please summon me."

"……it is good."

The separation came so suddenly that when Ye Yiyi's figure completely disappeared from her sight, she stared blankly at the mottled tower for a long time before she suddenly reacted.

"Is it over so soon?..."

The one-day and two-night adventure has come to an end at this moment.

She looked down at the abundant fruits piled in the wooden barrel at her feet, but she could not dispel the feeling of loss and emptiness in her heart.

She suddenly remembered a sentence from a book she had loved before:

The hero's path is lonely, because all encounters and journeys together ultimately lead to separation.

Bai Yu closed her eyes slightly and exhaled slowly. When she opened her eyes again, there was only determination in her pupils.

"...Then I will continue my journey so that we can travel together next time."

…………

"Hero, you're back."

When Ye Yiyi opened her eyes again, the familiar ethereal voice sounded in her ears again.

"Ah, I'm back."

Ye Yiyi smiled and took out two lingering golden fruits from behind him. He took a big bite of the flesh and handed the golden fruits to the saint.

"Come, try this fruit, it tastes very good."

"Fruit of Gold?"

The saint took the fruit and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile at Ye Yiyi.

"It seems the sacrificial ceremony went smoothly."

"Yeah, it's a pity you weren't there. After I finished singing the hymn, that little goblin cried so loudly that it really gave me a headache... Don't you want to eat?"

The saint held the fruit carefully in her hands and held it in front of her, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

"But the Golden Fruit is very precious, and I am reluctant to give it away... Please take it back, Hero-sama. It can provide a lot of help, and it doesn't need to be wasted on me."

"What's the word?"

Ye Yiyi raised his eyebrows, then took out seven or eight golden fruits from behind him and stuffed them into the saint's arms.

"This……"

The saint looked at the fruit in her arms and was suddenly stunned.

“I have a lot of golden fruits like this, so you can eat them without worry.

"Besides, I want to see your expression after eating the fruit more than the fruit itself."

"My... expression?" The Saint was a little puzzled.

"That's right, because in my opinion, no matter how helpful this fruit is, it can't compare to the help you, Saint, have given me."

He took a bite of the golden fruit in his hand and smiled at the saint.

"This fruit is very sweet. I want to share this sweetness with you, and the happy expression you can't help but reveal after tasting it. That is the greatest help this fruit has given me!
