The legendary rocs were mentioned in many ancient texts, such as the Middle Desolation chapter of the "Supernatural Scripture" and the "Commentary on the Water Scripture". The most famous of these was Zhuang Zhou's "Free and Unfettered Travel".
"There is a fish in the northern ocean called the Kun. The size of the Kun is thousands of miles long. When it transforms into a bird, it is called the Peng. The back of the Peng is thousands of miles long. When it flies in anger, its wings are like the clouds in the sky. "
Zhuangzi used his unbridled and majestic style to depict the image of a divine bird that could soar ninety thousand miles into the sky. Reading it made one gasp in amazement.
It was obvious that this did not conform to common sense. No matter how big the divine bird was, it was impossible for it to have such a body. This was an extremely exaggerated description by the ancient people. However, what was puzzling was that there were also records of the Peng in many other ancient texts. There were even many ancient texts that stated that the Peng did exist, but it was not thousands of miles long like in the legends.
People couldn't help but make all sorts of associations. Was there really a divine bird called "Peng" in the distant ancient world?
Zhou Yi and the others watched as the golden shadow that seemed to be cast from gold disappeared behind a cliff. They all looked shocked.
"The legendary divine bird!" Many people exclaimed in admiration after they were petrified. This was a kind of shock that came from the bottom of their hearts. He easily tore apart a giant elephant and rushed up. What he grabbed seemed to be nothing more than a pika. His body was so big that it made people dumbfounded, and his enormous strength left them dumbstruck.
Kai De said seriously, stammering, "That giant bird … is a falcon-like bird of prey. This is … a new species, a … great discovery."
"Go away!" Pang Bo was a little speechless at this stubborn foreigner. At this time, he was still looking at things from a scientific point of view. He did not even think about how he came to be here.
"Pang Bo, have a better attitude." Li Xiaoman showed a displeased expression. Her long eyelashes trembled as she glanced at him with her beautiful eyes.
"I'm not talking about you …" Pang Bo muttered softly.
"What kind of world have we come to?" After calming down, everyone could not help but think about this question.
Traveling through the lonely universe, arriving at the star field where the Big Dipper was located, and entering such a mysterious world, could it be that they had really arrived at the home of the gods?
How would they survive? This was the question everyone was considering. The road ahead was unknown, so everything needed to be carefully considered.
Many of them gripped tightly onto the treasures left behind by the gods in their hands. However, all of the Buddhist weapons had already lost their luster. In fact, some of them had even cracked. They could be considered to have been completely destroyed.
The last bit of divine power in the relic was absorbed by the ancient bronze coffin. At this moment, there was no more divine light flowing around it. Holding it in one's hand was no different from holding a piece of scrap copper. However, no one threw it away. They held onto the hope that the divine remnant could once again accumulate divine splendor for future use. If it could be restored, then it would become their greatest reliance in the future.
Gulp!
Someone's stomach rumbled. Many people felt very awkward. Humans had to eat, drink, and go to the toilet. Many people moved their feet, looking for a hidden place to relieve themselves.
"You'd rather die than live …" Pang Bo curled his lips in disdain and said, "I have the foresight to leave my great traces in the ruins of the Heavenly Palace on Mars. I think that even after a few hundred years, it will still be one of the greatest testimonies of mankind's exploration of the universe!"
Pfft!
Ye Fan spat out the water that he had just drunk. He almost threw away the mineral water bottle in his hand.
"Brother, can you not say such things when I'm drinking water? You'll kill me."
The people around them could not stand the two of them. They used this as an excuse to move further away. All of them were extremely embarrassed to solve their own problems.
Pang Bo laughed out loud when he saw everyone's expressions. Then, he deliberately coughed a few times in a certain direction, as if he was going to walk over. Immediately, the people behind the big tree shivered, and they couldn't even solve their own problems smoothly.
Pang Bo laughed twice. He then squatted down, picked up two stones, and threw them out. Suddenly, Li Changqing's angry voice came from behind the vines in the distance. "Who is it? Who is so immoral?" At the same time, it was accompanied by Liu Yunzhi's angry snort.
Seeing that this guy picked up another stone and was about to throw it in the direction where Li Xiaoman had gone, Ye Fan hurriedly stopped him with a smile.
Seeing that everyone had walked out one after another, Pang Bo immediately put on a serious look. He then pulled Ye Fan and began to wander around the top of the mountain. He wanted to see if there were any wild fruits to eat.
Although Ye Fan had collected a large bag of the divine crocodile's carcass on the Five-Colored Altar on Mars, the two of them did not want to eat it while holding back their nausea.
"There's a spring over there." Pang Bo suddenly discovered something.
Just a few dozen meters in front of them, a few old vines as thick as a water bucket surrounded an empty space. There was a one-meter square spring there, gurgling like a sweet divine spring.
Next to the spring grew more than ten small trees that were about half a meter tall. The leaves were wide and green, and they looked like human palms. It was as if there were a few people with many arms standing there. At the top of each small tree hung a bright red fruit. It looked like a cherry, but it was as big as a chicken's egg.
Ye Fan and Pang Bo passed through the vines and quickly walked over. They could smell the rich fruit fragrance from afar. Suddenly, the two of them almost drooled. After all, they had not eaten for a day and a night. Their stomachs were already very hungry. If they could not find anything to eat, the two of them were prepared to bite the divine crocodile's meat.
"It smells so good. I have never seen such a fragrant fruit."
As they got closer, the fruit fragrance became even more fragrant. Even the fragrance of a thousand-year-old wine cellar would be overshadowed by the fragrance.
"The fruit fragrance is overwhelming. Will it be poisonous?" The two of them were a little uncertain. The more beautiful and tempting a fruit was, the more poisonous it was.
"I don't care. With such a fragrant fruit fragrance, I am willing to try it even if it is poisonous. I don't want to eat those disgusting reptiles that used to crawl in people's brains."
"Why don't you try it first? You have a strong physique. If it is poisonous, you will definitely be able to withstand it."
"I think your skin is thick and you are immune to poison. You are the most suitable for testing poison."
The two of them were very cheerful. Even though they had come to a strange world, they did not frown. Instead, they faced it with an optimistic attitude.
Ye Fan plucked a bright red fruit and held it in his hand. It looked very tempting. It was crystal clear and looked like it was carved out of red jade.
At this time, Pang Bo also plucked a bright red fruit and said, "I can't. This fruit fragrance is too tempting. I can't help it. Let me try it first."
"Let me try it first."
The two of them took a bite almost at the same time. The moment the sparkling red skin of the fruit broke open, they immediately felt a fragrant aroma rush into their internal organs and spread around their bodies.
"Delicious!" Pang Bo wanted to swallow his fingers. The juice flowed, bright red, and the aroma lingered. The place was overflowing with fragrance.
"I have never eaten such delicious fruit. Could it be that I am too hungry?" After the two of them ate the first fruit, they waited for a while. They only felt that their bodies were a lot more energetic. They did not feel any other discomfort.
"There is no poison."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's continue!"
The two of them sat beside the one-meter square spring and began to wolf down the fruit. The juice splashed everywhere. When they were hungry to a certain extent, they wanted to swallow their own tongues, let alone such a delicious fruit.
However, each of them only ate four before stopping. Ye Fan said, "Bring a few for Yiyi and Zhang Ziling."
"It's only right. They must also be starving."
These small trees that were more than half a meter tall were verdant and extremely extraordinary, but each tree only had one fruit at the top. There were a total of thirteen jade-like small trees growing around the spring, and at this moment, there were only five bright red and sparkling fruits left.
Pang Bo took a deep breath and bent down to smell the gurgling spring. He said, "Strange, this spring water seems to have some fragrance."
Ye Fan scooped up some spring water and smelled a bit of fragrance. Although it was very faint, it was definitely there. He said, "For these small trees to be able to bear such strange fruits, it is most likely related to this spring."
Pang Bo drank a few mouthfuls of spring water and said, "There is a faint sweet fragrance. Unfortunately, the taste is a little special. I don't feel anything after drinking it." He poured out all the water in the mineral water bottles and began to fill them with this faint fragrant spring water.
The two of them rested here for a while. After eating the fruit, they drank some spring water and then picked the remaining five fruits. As they walked back, Pang Bo said in a low voice, "Do you feel that after eating the fruit, my fatigue seems to be swept away? I feel full of energy now."
Ye Fan was also puzzled. He immediately nodded and said, "This red fruit seems to be really unusual."
At this time, everyone had solved their own problems. Some people were looking into the distance and examining the terrain. Some people gathered together to discuss where to go.
When Ye Fan and Pang Bo walked over, there was a burst of fragrant fruit fragrance. It immediately attracted everyone's attention. Many people involuntarily swallowed their saliva. Many people had long since felt hungry.
"Yiyi, for you. Eat quickly." Pang Bo stuffed two bright red fruits into Liu Yiyi's hands. They shone brightly under the sunlight.
Li Changqing was standing not far away. Smelling this tempting fruit fragrance, he couldn't help but say, "Pang Bo, where did you guys find these fruits? Quickly share them with everyone. We are all starving."
As he spoke, he walked forward, not treating himself as an outsider at all. He seemed to have forgotten that he had maliciously targeted Ye Fan not long ago and almost killed him. He reached out to grab the other three fruits in Pang Bo's hands.
