Before Zhou Wen could see what the red crystal was, Banana Fairy had already flown over and blew at it. The red crystal flew up and automatically landed in her mouth.
The red crystal melted in her mouth and was swallowed by Banana Fairy. She licked her lips as though she hadn't had enough.
Only then did the sleeping snakes, worms, rats, and ants wake up. Instantly, they scattered and returned to the forest.
Seeing that there was nothing else, Zhou Wen set off again and headed for Zhuolu.
It had only been a few months, but this path was very different from the last time he took it. He hadn't seen so many break-out creatures the last time he took it, but now, he often saw them.
Although they were low-level dimensional creatures, it also indicated that the dimensional zone's sealing power was rapidly weakening.
When Zhou Wen arrived at Zhuolu again, he didn't head to the encampment. Instead, he headed straight for the battlefield, circled around the soldiers stationed there, and arrived at the entrance of the ruins.
At the entrance of the underground ruins, Zhou Wen didn't see a chariot. For some reason, there were chariots in reality, but there weren't any in-game.
Zhou Wen hadn't found a chariot despite grinding the Zhuolu instance dungeon so many times.
After entering the underground ruins, Zhou Wen was already very familiar with the path. After passing through the maze-like underground tunnels, Zhou Wen arrived at where the Longevity Tree was.
There was no Longevity Tree in-game, but in reality, the Longevity Tree was still there. The fruits on the tree were the same as the ones Zhou Wen had seen previously. They hadn't been touched.
He shone his phone at it again, but there was still no reaction. He knew that it was impossible to store the Longevity Tree into his phone.
This Longevity Tree is so similar to the Dead Man Tree, but it can't be displayed in-game. I wonder what its origins are. Zhou Wen looked at the baby-like fruits on the Longevity Tree. Although he knew that eating them would give him immense strength, he wasn't willing to try.
Lord Alcohol's outcome was right in front of him. There were definitely huge latent dangers if he ate it.
Unable to store the Longevity Tree, Zhou Wen was about to leave when he suddenly felt a burning sensation from a tattoo on his body. It was Demonic Neonate throbbing.
Zhou Wen's heart stirred as he summoned Demonic Neonate. The moment Demonic Neonate landed, she ran towards the Longevity Tree. Without waiting for Zhou Wen to call her, she had already jumped onto the Longevity Tree and opened her mouth to bite the fruit.
Crack! Ka-cha!
One fruit was swallowed by the demonic infant in two or three mouthfuls. However, the demonic infant didn't stop there. Instead, it went for another fruit.
Zhou Wen was alarmed. Ever since Demonic Neonate was born, she hadn't eaten or drunk anything. Zhou Wen fed her the best Epic Companion Egg, but she remained unmoved. She even showed disdain.
Zhou Wen originally imagined that she didn't eat at all, but to his surprise, she started eating when she saw the fruits of the Longevity Tree. In just moments, she had swallowed three to four fruits.
Back then, Lord Alcohol had only eaten one fruit, but his body had already rejuvenated and he had nearly broken through to the Mythical stage.
Now, Demonic Neonate had eaten three or four fruits, but she still seemed fine. She was still crawling around the tree in search of fruits to eat.
The Longevity Tree was a terrifying mythical creature. It easily turned Lord Alcohol into fertilizer. Demonic Neonate jumped around its body and ate many fruits, but the Longevity Tree didn't react at all.
Zhou Wen stared at the Longevity Tree for a long time and thought to himself, Don't tell me this tree is waiting for Demonic Neonate to finish eating before dealing with her?
Zhou Wen stood far away and braced himself. As long as the Longevity Tree stirred, he would immediately unsummon Demonic Neonate and escape.
Zhou Wen didn't wish to take the risk of fighting such a strange thing since he wasn't in a game.
However, the situation Zhou Wen imagined didn't happen. Demonic Neonate jumped around the Longevity Tree and ate many Longevity Fruits, but the Longevity Tree didn't react at all.
Demonic Neonate had already eaten more than ten Longevity Fruits. She wanted to eat more, but she suddenly fell from the Longevity Tree, giving Zhou Wen a fright.
He immediately summoned her back. Demonic Neonate transformed into a stream of light and returned to Zhou Wen's body. Zhou Wen felt that Demonic Neonate's tattoo kept burning like red-hot iron. It was so hot that Zhou Wen nearly cried out. All he could do was summon her again.
Demonic Neonate landed in front of Zhou Wen. The Longevity Tree in the distance didn't move, allowing Zhou Wen to heave a sigh of relief. He hurriedly checked Demonic Neonate's body.
Her tiny face was flushed red, and white steam was emitting from her body like steam.
However, Demonic Neonate's aura was very uniform. It didn't seem like there was anything wrong with her. Instead, the Essence Energy in her body kept surging, as though she was about to advance.
Don't tell me she's about to advance to the Legendary stage? Zhou Wen felt that it was highly likely, but he didn't know what changes Demonic Neonate would undergo when she advanced to the Legendary stage.
She already had a Life Providence, Life Soul, and Wheel of Life Souls. If she advanced to the Legendary stage again, it was unknown if she would condense a new Life Providence.
The white steam on Demonic Neonate's body increased, enveloping her body. The temperature inside was astonishingly high. Zhou Wen could only watch from the side, unable to do anything.
If those Longevity Fruits can really allow Demonic Neonate to evolve, I might as well pluck them and leave them for her. Many thoughts flashed through Zhou Wen's mind as he looked at the Longevity Tree.
It was impossible for him to eat that thing, so he hadn't had any thoughts about the Longevity Tree in the past. However, since Demonic Neonate was willing to eat it, he couldn't sit back and do nothing.
After some thought, Zhou Wen summoned a Poison Bat to see if it could pluck the Longevity Fruit.
The Poison Bat flapped its wings and flew over. Just as it approached the Longevity Tree, before it could pluck the fruit, it suddenly saw a tree root burrow out from the ground. Like a wyrm, it wrapped around the Poison Bat's body and pulled it underground. Then, there was nothing else.
From the looks of it, that fruit isn't something anyone can pluck. Zhou Wen summoned a few other Companion Beasts, but the outcome was the same. Just as they approached the Longevity Tree, they were killed by it. They couldn't even touch the tree, much less the Longevity Fruit.
Zhou Wen didn't wish to touch the Longevity Fruit himself, nor was he willing to risk his Mythical pet. All he could do was wait for Demonic Neonate to complete her evolution. If it really didn't work, he could get Demonic Neonate to pluck it herself and take it all away. They would be her food in the future.
After a while, the white gas on Demonic Neonate's body gradually dissipated. Her body temperature also slowly dropped, but it didn't seem like there were any special changes to her body. She was still tiny, and she was still hugging the ancient sword.
After Demonic Neonate fully recovered, she stood up and looked in the direction of the Longevity Tree. However, she seemed hesitant and didn't immediately go over.
"If you can't eat it now, why don't you pluck the fruit first? I'll help you keep it?" Zhou Wen suggested.
