Chapter 107 The Prestige of Fruit
In the morning, the sky became dark, and countless dark clouds rolled and stirred, indicating that a heavy rain was coming.

Lu Yu was standing on the top of a 300-meter-high tree. This was the tallest tree nearby. According to the records on the map, the sacred tree should be [-] to [-] kilometers ahead. He should be able to see it now, but he didn't.

"Did I remember wrongly that I walked in the opposite direction? But the natural obstacles and various landmarks along the way are correct, which proves that the direction is correct. Forget it, I guess I can't figure out the reason, so I'll mark it on the map first. Let’s take a look at the location.”

Lu Yu thought to himself as he recalled the contents of the notes that he remembered so clearly.

He continued to jump and walk forward on the top of the tree. At this time, the dark clouds in the sky were moving more violently under the push of the wind.

Suddenly a bright light illuminated Lu Yu's eyes in front of him. It was an electric spark that was much thicker than lightning that appeared at any time and anywhere on the earth, and then there was a deafening thunder.

Just like turning on the switch of the dark cloud, with the first strike, there will be countless unusually thick lightning strikes.

This planet has a strong gravity and a strong magnetic field. The electromagnetic effect between the earth and the clouds is much stronger, and the number of different charges it contains is greater, and the lightning produced is thicker and stronger.

But the strange thing is that the lightning strikes in other places struck at different positions, but the large area above Lu Yu's head all struck at a spot not far in front of him.

Lightning struck one after another, as if attracted by something, and that place was the location of the sacred tree recorded in the notes.

If something is abnormal, there must be something wrong, there must be a problem there!

Lu Yu was not afraid of being struck by lightning, and continued to jump and run forward on the top of the tree. Anyway, none of the tall trees nearby were struck by lightning, let alone his small target.

When thunder struck, it would rain. The sky seemed to be leaking, and the rain poured down. The fast-moving Lu Yu knocked countless huge raindrops into water mist, blurring his vision, so he had to slow down. In order to avoid danger without knowing it.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yu finally arrived near the place where lightning struck concentratedly. From time to time, a powerful bolt of lightning pierced the air and struck down.

Lu Yu observed the lightning at close range and was deeply shocked by the terrifying power of nature. This was something that no one could resist, and he didn't think any creature could withstand such a lightning strike.

But when he walked a little further, the scene he saw almost shocked his jaw.

In the center of a huge pit that is a thousand meters deep, there is a huge tree over a thousand meters. It turns out that the sacred tree is in the pit, so it cannot be seen from a distance.

Its body is pitch black, only the lush black branches grow a lot of brown things like a football, which should be the fruit of the sacred tree.

A flash of lightning struck a tall sword-shaped branch on the top of the tree with a "crash".Immediately, the black branches emitted a strong white light, and the whole body ignited a white flame. A huge amount of electric current flowed into the sacred tree through it, and the entire trunk of the sacred tree lighted up slightly. Countless tiny electric sparks entwined around it, so amazing!

When the shimmer of the main trunk dissipated, some branches began to shimmer, and electric sparks flashed around them. At the same time, the brown fruits on their tops also shone. The rainwater that hit the surface was immediately evaporated, and a thick white smoke came out , its temperature is estimated to be not low.

After a while, "bang bang bang", as if opening a lot of champagne caps, these glowing and hot fruits all flew out with chaotic white flames, extremely fast!
Each one is like a super heavy artillery, roaring and flying out of the huge crater, and most of them rush to the sky far away without a trace.

Some of them were hit in the woods or huge pits, and one of them hit in the woods not far from Lu Yu, piercing through at least a hundred trees in a row before stopping. With such power, ten Lu Yu tied together Can't stop it either.

Moreover, when it is launched, due to the interference of various factors, the tail flame is also unstable, causing the direction of advancement to change immediately.

It fires so fast that it has no time to react. If it is unlucky to be hit, it will definitely die. No wonder the notes call this sacred tree the tree of death.

Now the sacred tree is still being struck by lightning, and the whole body is probably full of strong electricity, so it must be untouchable. Lu Yu decided to retreat first and come back after the rain stopped. Moreover, the fruit it shoots is too dangerous to stay for a long time.

Lu Yu found the fruit along the trees that had been shot through. It fell to the ground, and white mist rose up from the rain. It seemed that the temperature was still very high.

Lu Yu was right next to it, keeping an eye on the surroundings. After its temperature dropped, he took it to the top of the tree. After making sure that there was nothing unusual around him, he began to observe this magical fruit.

It looks like a brown football at first glance, but it is smooth and delicate, and it is also fuller. The impact just now did not cause any damage, as if it had been coiled.

There are many branches-like wood grains on the surface, like the path traveled by electric current. The whole is very beautiful, like a work of art.

It is sharp and smooth at one end, and there is a round hole at the other end, which should be the place where the white flame was sprayed out just now. Lu Yu put his finger in and touched it, and immediately felt a tingling sensation. It was indeed electricity, and there was still residue!
"It seems that it is propelled by electric sparks generated by electric currents. Just now, the sacred tree used the lightning obtained to give it energy, so that it can generate powerful electric sparks and launch itself far enough.

This large forest should be reproduced in this way, but why are the tree species different? Even if other tree seeds are spread, there won’t be a single one that is not as many as the sacred tree, right? strangeness? "

Lu Yu rubbed the fruit and thought to himself.

He then decided to open the fruit to see what was special about it.Originally, he thought that this fruit could smash through so many trees without injury, and its hardness must be very high, but it was not. It was only as hard as ordinary wood, and it was easily opened by Lu Yu with the sharp thorns.

The structure inside is very complicated. There is a circular core the size of an egg. If it is not moved, electric sparks will appear on the surface. If you hold it in your hand, you will feel that it has been discharging.

Judging from its size, color, and pattern, it should be the prototype of the leader's token of the Qiqi tribe. However, this one has a new power supply, while Qiqi's one has insufficient power due to its age.

Lu Yu tore off a bit of vine cloth, wrapped it up to isolate the current, and prepared to send it back to Qiqi, thanking her for her help.

"This ball stores electrical energy, so it must be useful, maybe it promotes the growth of the plants it was born in, so why does it grow into various plants.

Could it be because the core stores the genes of various trees, and when the environment is suitable, a plant will be randomly selected to grow.

That sacred tree is too powerful, it is like a tree makes a forest, is this the life that can be born in nature? "

Lu Yu couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking and waited quietly for the end of the thunderstorm.

After an unknown period of time, the first ray of sunlight shone through the clouds towards the earth, and then the rain stopped and the clouds dispersed. Lu Yu felt happy when he saw this, and he cautiously jumped towards the huge pit again.

The fruits of the sacred tree are still being launched, but the number is greatly reduced, but you still have to be careful, after all, you only have one life.

Lu Yu stood on the big tree next to the huge pit and carefully observed the sacred tree. Without the lightning strike, it became quiet and lost its magical performance, just like a giant black iron sculpture.

The ends of the branches that have launched fruits have begun to grow new fruits. Judging from the size of the new fruits, it can be inferred that it only takes a day at most to grow.With the huge number of fruits on the sacred tree, it should be shooting out fruits continuously.

But now is the rainy season, there will be a thunderstorm in two or three days, approaching the sacred tree in a thunderstorm is an act of courting death, now it has just finished raining and the sky clears up, will there be another thunderstorm in a while, it is precisely to approach the sacred tree to sample good opportunity.

But what about the material from that part?bark?Branches?fruit?

These should have electricity, but the unlaunched fruit is too dangerous. Even if it is taken away successfully, it may explode suddenly. With the power it shows, it may cause countless casualties. It is too dangerous.

As for the bark and branches, they looked extremely strong. Not to mention he didn't have a weapon now, even if he had one, he probably wasn't as strong as it. This was evident from the fruit he fired.
