SS 06: Ripe Fruit

The strongest species in the Blue Galaxy——Kirates Dragon

---

The place where the fruit grows was not far from the cave and the speed of the wounded Dog 16 and Mouse 223 was not slow, so the three of them found the fruit tree in a while.

The vegetation on this planet was very lush with the trees in the jungle a little shorter, only some tens of meters, but the trees in the depths were more than 100 meters high. The vegetation near the cave where the aborigines live was relatively less and the fruit trees were much shorter than the trees in the deep jungle, but they were still more than 40 meters high.

Mouse 223 made two “squeaks” at a very short fruit tree and then rubbed his two claws upwards.

When he climbed more than ten meters, he could no longer climb, then wrapped a dozen blue fruits in the smelly animal skin around his waist. After wrapping up, he carefully climbed down the tree and approached Feng Lianzhu. He then took off the only covering animal skin on his waist and held it in front of Feng Lianzhu.

Feng Lianzhu: “…”

The fruits were not ripe and the hide was too dirty. Even Mouse 223 was constantly emitting an odor that made Feng Lianzhu almost delete his olfactory function.

But Mouse 223 was still looking at him, those small bean-like eyes sparkling.

Fortunately, Dog 16 was still witty. He dragged Mouse 223 behind him, used his thin body to block Mouse 223, then fearfully told Feng Lianzhu: “Mouse 223 is still young and not good at climbing trees so he could only pick up these unripe fruits. Please have mercy.”

After that, he picked a taller tree and clumsily climbed with his limbs. When he climbed to 20 meters, he almost fell but managed to maintain his balance only by biting on a branch with his teeth.

Feng Lianzhu: “…”

Dog 16 didn’t seem very good at climbing trees…

On the other side, Mouse 223 didn’t want to waste the wild fruits that he picked. He cried as he ate it, the “kacha” sound accompanied by a “squeak” sound. His jaw kept shaking because of the sourness, obviously not finding it delicious.

Feng Lianzhu knew that as a low-level NPC, his IQ wasn’t high, but Mouse 223 was obviously not as good as him.

Dog 16 climbed to a height of more than 30 meters where the branches were too thin that he couldn’t climb anymore. His feet firmly hooked on a thicker branch, quickly picked a fruit with both hands and packed it in a large leaf that was found earlier.

After filling up the large leaf, he wrapped it up, pulled out a soft branch and roughly tied the wild fruits to his chest.

Climbing down was obviously more difficult than going up. Dog 16 was afraid, his teeth bared and a large fluffy gray-white tail also slipped from the animal skin around his waist, hanging down and trembling slightly.

He had no shoes and was hooked on the large tree trunk with his slightly pointed toenails but it was hard.

A spider the size of a fist silently retracted its own claws from the other side of the tree and sunk its fangs into Dog 16’s calf.

Dog 16’s leg twitched. The pain prevented him from grasping the trunk and he fell from the tree more than 20 meters high.

Always paying attention to Dog 16, Feng Lianzhu lightly tapped his toes and a slightly damp branch flew up, penetrating the animal skin on Dog 16’s waist and inserting into the tree trunk. At this time, Dog 16 had fallen more than two meters from the ground. After being caught by the branch, the remaining height was no problem for him, enough to save himself.

It’s just that the wild fruit tied to his chest fell to the ground long ago and shattered.

In this jungle, the bottom of the trees had little access to sunlight so only the fruit at the top could ripen. Dog 16 climbed higher than Mouse 223 but the fruits he picked were half green and half red, not yet ripe.

Feng Lianzhu remembered that the fruit placed at the entrance of the cave just now was half-ripe, and combined with the performance of the two in front of him, he knew that the aborigines couldn’t climb to the top to pick the ripe fruits, so the fruit they ate before was so sour.

He sighed a little and his body leaped to a height of more than ten meters as if he had no weight. When his upward speed weakened, Feng Lianzhu lightly stepped on the tree trunk and leveraged it to continue upward.

When passing by the spider that attacked Dog 16, Feng Lianzhu casually waved his long sleeves. Countless leaves swirled and struck the spider and within a moment, the black spider fell rigidly beside Dog 16, dead.

Dog 16 quickly tore open the spider’s body and pulled out a small transparent bubble from its stomach. He then squeezed the bubble and applied the liquid to the wound on his calf. The spot where he was stung by the spider turned purple-black but after applying the liquid, black blood gushed out. Dog 16 squeezed the wound for a while until the black blood gradually faded and returned to a bright red. Only then was Dog 16 relieved.

This spider was very venomous and its victims would quickly die after being bitten. Many of their companions died under the venom of this spider. If the spider couldn’t be killed to find the antidote inside it, the leg must be cut off as soon as possible.

Fortunately…

At this time, Feng Lianzhu reached the top of the tree more than 50 meters high after a few ups and downs. He placed one foot on a leaf and stood firmly on top of the tree. The wind from this high place blew his long hair and his body bathed under the sunlight.

Mouse 223 had half a fruit in his small paws, saliva stimulated from the sourness dripping from the corners of his mouth. He raised his head high and pointed with his paws, barely seeing Feng Lianzhu from the gaps in the leaves.

Watching Feng Lianzhu, he “squeaked” twice while nibbling on the fruit with his front teeth. This time, he forgot to cry and he couldn’t even feel the sourness.

Feng Lianzhu didn’t have a Qiankun skill on his sleeves and he also didn’t intend to use his clothes to carry fruit. He simply turned his palms into knives, cut off the two branches with the most fruits, and jumped down with a branch in each hand.

He floated down like a feather unhurriedly. The branches in his hands had ripe fruits that Dog 16 and the others hadn’t seen for a long time and there were hundreds of ripe fruits in each huge branch.

Dog 16 was from a carnivorous race so fruit was not his staple food. He could still keep calm but Mouse 223 was about to die. He’s from an omnivorous race and he could even eat tree trunks when he’s hungry. A pair of large teeth could grow back even if broken and seeing so many red fruits, he screamed with excitement and ran around Feng Lianzhu.

He had a low IQ so the pressure from the dragon scales had little effect on Mouse 223. Seeing that Feng Lianzhu didn’t hurt him, he quickly let go of his vigilance.

Dog 16 was different. The breath of the giant beast made him tremble all the time and he never dared to get too close to Feng Lianzhu.

Feng Lianzhu calculated how many fruits he needed to replenish his spiritual energy. After taking ten fruits, he waved his hand and the branches flew up and landed on Dog 16’s feet.

“Are you…giving us this food?” Dog 16 asked.

Feng Lianzhu nodded. Of course, he had to pay back the fruits of the aborigines. Moreover, his mission was to help the Aborigines out of poverty.

Mouse 223 understood and rode on the branch, his two small claws moving quickly, and soon, his hide was full. He had a fruit in his hand and after nibbling it, his eyes lit up. It was sweet!

“Thank you for your generosity.” After Dog 16 politely saluted Feng Lianzhu, he found a few large leaves, wrapped all the fruit, tied it up, and carried it on his back.

He didn’t eat any even though his body was thin. When he carried the fruit, his body swayed a bit, obviously because he was not strong enough.

Feng Lianzhu handed him a fruit and Dog 16 shook his head: “I am a carnivorous race. I can barely survive eating wild fruits. I need meat to supplement my stamina.”

Well, even in the game, when players ate food, they also liked to eat meat.

Feng Lianzhu’s body flickered and turned into a cyan phantom, disappearing in front of Dog 16 and Mouse 223.

Seeing Feng Lianzhu leave, Mouse 223 looked at Dog 16 at a loss. Dog 16 rubbed his head and said: “It’s good that Lord Kirates didn’t attack us, let’s go back.”

Mouse 223 screamed in the direction where Feng Lianzhu disappeared with a lonely expression on his face. He gnawed the arm of Dog 16 with his big teeth and followed him back with his head down.

At this time, the healthy aborigines who went hunting had returned and some people had new wounds on their bodies. The horrific wounds meant that another portion of their population would die from high fever and blood loss.

They saw that the wounded had recovered and were talking excitedly about the mysterious Lord. Some residents speculated that Dog 16 and Mouse 223 might have been taken away and eaten by the Kirates Dragon. When they were in the orphanage, they heard the legend of the Kirates dragon, a terrifying creature that eats everything. It’s said that thousands of years ago, a military star in the Alliance was swallowed in half by a huge Kirates Dragon. None of the soldiers stationed at the base survived.

Just as the crowd mourned for the two of them, Dog 16 and Mouse 223 came back with food. Hearing the content of their conversation, Mouse 223 squeaked angrily and Dog 16 said quietly: “How did we survive when we were almost eaten by beasts when we first arrived on this planet?”

Everyone was silent.

At that time, they cried in despair, never thinking that they could survive the beast swarm.

But at that moment, a thunderous roar came from the distant mountains, and under the dragon’s might, the beasts fell down one by one. What’s more, their ears bled and they died directly from the sound wave.

That was the roar of the strongest species in the Blue Galaxy—— the Kirates Dragon, which was enough to cause a hurricane and a tsunami.

Because of that sound that was enough to tear the world apart, they survived to this day.

Fat Dragon: After waking up, let out a comfortable cry, roll, touch the gold coins, then go to sleep.

Beast Swarm: …
