Chapter 268 268. World of Beasts: Crisp!sweet!Cool!

They can't wait to taste this fruit that also has the effect of dispelling heat and cooling down.

It's a pity that the fruit is not yet ripe, and they have to wait.

But it's almost too soon. I heard from Boss Su that as long as the leaves of the fruit trees turn slightly yellow, or have a tendency to turn yellow, it proves that this batch of fruits is ripe.

If the leaves are still green, it proves that the branches full of fruit are still growing.

When the fruits are all ripe, they will collect all the fruits, and the leaves will fall within three days, just like some people's hair, without leaving a single piece.

After falling leaves, fruit trees will have a rest period of about ten days.

After the rest period is over, it will start to grow leaves and fruits again...and then start a cycle.

A normal fruit tree, as long as it is treated well, can basically shed its leaves dozens or even hundreds of times, and the fallen leaves are used as 'fertilizer' and absorbed by the soil.

In other words, they can harvest hundreds of times.

If the fruit tree stays in bad conditions for a long time, the number of leaves will also decrease, that is, the life span will be reduced.

Even so, a fruit tree can survive in an environment such as severe cold and drought, and grow at least ten batches of fruits.

This can be said to be a sacred tree.

The only disadvantage is that the output is average, and things like fruit can fill the stomach, but there is no way to provide the energy necessary for carnivorous orcs.

The way they restore their strength and energy is to eat meat.

Even so, the orcs treated the trees with great care.

Even though I know it doesn't need such meticulous care, I still water it every day, remove insects and weeds, and don't miss what I should do.

Just like that, under their meticulous care, the first batch of fruits ripened!

God knows how happy these orcs will be when they mature.

Originally, they bought fruit trees just to provide food in winter and provide soil nutrients with fallen leaves, but they did not expect that after reading the fruit manual, they would start to look forward to the ripening of the fruits day and night.

Sweet and crisp, sweet and juicy, sweet and sour, sweet and fragrant... These words made their mouths water.

The fruit that has been greedy for so long can be regarded as ripe, how could they not be excited?
On that day, both males and females put down the work at hand and devoted themselves to harvesting.

Most of the orcs are good at climbing trees, especially the snakes, even if they can't climb trees in human form, they will directly change back to animal form.

Swish, swish, swish, and within a few seconds, all of them climbed onto the ten-meter-high tree one by one.

After going up, he stretched out his long arms and picked an apple directly.

They don't care if it's dirty or not. Anyway, they were hungry and didn't eat anything before, so they can still live well.

What's more, the fruit looked juicy and juicy, at most there was some dust and no other dirt, so after they picked it, they took one and took a bite in their mouths.

"So crisp!"

"So sweet!"

"So cool!"

A sound of emotion and exclamation made the people under the tree envious.

They really wanted to drag all those stealers from the tree down.

"Why are you picking fruits one by one? Why did you secretly eat them? Be careful and I will tell the patriarch!"

"Hiss...you can eat as soon as you eat, don't be silly! If you are so careful, I will go up and beat you!"

"If I knew it earlier, I would go up and pick it up. I knew these people were unreliable..."

Perhaps these 'threats' played a role, and the males in the trees picked up speed.

They smiled and took another bite of the apple, and then gnawed the whole apple until only the core remained.

If he didn't know that the apple core has a small amount of toxin, and it tastes a bit bitter, otherwise he would really like to eat the whole apple core.

"Connect it, connect it, I put the bamboo basket down, don't break it!"

"This is also full of one, let someone help."

The way they pick fruit is that each male carries a rope and two bamboo baskets or panniers for fruit.

After the container is full of fruit, they send the container down with a rope.

When the sent fruit was taken out by the orcs below, they continued to hold the fruit in another container.

After the second one is full, the first one is recovered, and the second one is put down, so as to circulate.

In this way, they don't have to transport the fruit up and down, which is heavy and tiring, and they are prone to injury when climbing trees with such a heavy thing on their backs.

If the feet slip and the hands shake, the consequences are unimaginable.

They also thought about letting them drop fruit on top, but this idea was quickly rejected by them.

At a height of ten meters, even their thick-skinned orcs would be seriously injured if they fell, let alone these fruits.

I'm afraid it's already rotten and cracked, and I won't be able to eat it even if I want to.

Using such a simple 'elevator' was a sudden inspiration from an orc who recalled that he and his companions used ropes to drag the beast home.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, so he told the patriarch about it.

So everyone used this method.

Originally, people from other tribes were still worrying about how to get the fruit off, but after seeing the method of the snake tribe, they followed suit one by one.

At first, it was troublesome to see the snake clan operating like this, but after they used it themselves, they realized that this is simply too convenient!
It's convenient, easy, and efficient.

It doesn't take a while to pick all the fruits from the whole tree.

The orc who was in charge of harvesting the fruits saw these juicy fruits finally appearing in front of him, so he couldn't wait to pick one up and put it in his mouth.

"Bah, bah, bah... what is this? Why is it so unpalatable..." Although he said it was unpalatable, he was not willing to throw it away.

The male frowned and looked at the crescent-shaped fruit in his hand, thinking about it for a long time without recalling what kind of fruit it was.

The orc next to him heard his movements, and cast their eyes towards him in unison.

An orc who recognized the fruit immediately laughed, "This is a banana. It needs to be peeled, and the outer layer is not edible... This thing is on the last few pages of the booklet. It's normal if you don't recognize it... The problem is that you don't recognize it. eat?"

The male knew that he had made an oolong, and coughed dryly.

"I can't help it, I thought all the fruits could be eaten directly." He peeled off all the outer yellow peel, and then took a bite of the banana flesh.

good to eat!

This is the normal taste!
He directly disposed of a banana in twos and twos, and then began to transfer all the fruits in the bamboo basket to the big box next to it.
