Chapter 6: The Explosive Fruit Forest

Each tree is not particularly tall, and one can almost reach out to pick the fruit from its branches. It is described as peculiar because it appears to lack bark, with an exceptionally smooth surface on the trunk.

Thus, the wild boar was startled awake...

Qin Mu reacted quickly and took off running, while the wild boar behind him pursued relentlessly with an unstoppable force, knocking aside tree roots and stones along the way, clearly intent on not stopping until it had killed Qin Mu

Unlike the chaotic and random distribution of trees in a forest, the fruit trees in this land, although somewhat scattered, reveal upon careful observation that the distance between each tree is approximately the same

The wild boar, awakened by a kick, surveyed its surroundings and only saw Qin Mu standing motionless in front of it, its eyes instantly filled with anger

When hungry, go nearby to hunt or gather wild fruits; when tired, return to the hanging basket to rest for a while. In such a leisurely life, the cooking skill has unknowingly advanced by one level

It is unlikely to expect it to give up due to exhaustion

Qin Mu picked up a stone and threw it at one of the fruit trees.

But at that moment, an unexpected event occurred

Roar

The current campsite is fully equipped with pots, bowls, and utensils, and he has also fashioned a leather water pouch to hang at his waist

Qin Mu can now confirm that this pig from www.hetushu.com is highly dangerous, and defeating it will definitely yield a treasure chest. However, the only problem is that he cannot defeat it.

Yesterday's exploration yielded no further rewards aside from a few alluringly gleaming Red Crystal Fruits and two Red Crystal Seeds in the storage space

Looking towards the not-so-distant area, one can still see the broken stumps and scattered wood fragments, while the ground retains a scene of devastation, all of which serve as evidence that a fierce 'battle' had taken place there before

The origin of all this can be traced back to two hours ago

Its relentless appearance suggests a deep-seated enmity between the two parties, yet in reality, Qin Mu did not intentionally provoke it. After all, this creature looks quite formidable; only a madman would dare to target it.

It seems that there is something strange about this place

This time, Qin Mu did not stop, continuously weaving between the trees, contemplating whether he could intrude into the territory of the beast, inciting a conflict among them, ideally resulting in mutual destruction.

Suddenly, a gray-furred monkey sprang out from the woods, dragging a long tail, and perched on a nearby tree to observe.

It has been proven that this wild boar possesses extraordinary abilities, as it is remarkably sturdy. It has not stopped at all during the chase, even after crashing into two trees in succession, yet it continues on as if nothing has happened.

The snoring sound came from under a tree ahead. As Qin Mu crossed the bushes, he saw a gigantic wild boar dozing beside the tree roots

You have entered the Explosive Fruit Forest

Qin Mu stood on a tree branch, gazing at the distant blue sky and white clouds. Occasionally, a gentle breeze would pass by, lifting his dark green cloak and revealing a black fur ball that was nestled against his right arm. The fur ball had a pair of adorable big eyes, reflecting the scenery of the forest.

You have explored a new area, and you have gained 1% of the Source of the World

What the hell

Upon seeing the scene under the tree, the monkey was momentarily taken aback, then reacted by grinning at Qin Mu with bared teeth

Conservatively estimating, this wild boar can stand about 1.4 meters tall. Having rolled in the mud pit for many years, it is enveloped in a layer of hardened armor that has been sun-dried, appearing impervious to damage. Furthermore, observe its robust limbs and the tusks that glisten in the sunlight.

In a state of helplessness, Qin Mu could only use [Silken Threads · Silken Thread Projection] to pull himself up to the tree, and then think of a way to resolve this unforeseen disaster

The [Red Crystal Fruit] is a white quality restoration item newly collected by Qin Mu, with the effect of restoring 5 points of mana. The [Red Crystal Fruit Seed] can be planted in the personal space after returning and can be used for *map* planting.

This is a beast that is truly armed to the teeth, practically a tank of the forest

... ...

Proceeding with a cautious attitude, another half hour passed when suddenly a tremendous snoring sound entered Qin Mu's ears

Is it correct to ask: Have you ever been walked by a Husky?

Feeling the violent shaking beneath her feet, Qin Mu knew that this tree was also nearing its end, and she quickly grabbed the vines to swing away.

As I swayed back and forth, the area ahead suddenly became much more open, revealing a not overly vast expanse where a peculiar-looking fruit tree was growing.

This area appears quite stark; apart from these peculiar fruit trees, no other plants can be seen, not even a blade of grass on the ground, nor any fallen leaves, leaving only the bare soil exposed.

This grove appears exceedingly discordant within the forest

... ... ''

This is truly the life one should live! Qin Mu exclaimed.

This is a tranquil and harmonious scene, where everything appears pure and natural, prompting those who behold it to instinctively wish to preserve this essence of beauty.

Looking at this stubborn wild boar, Qin Mu displayed a look of helplessness. This was already the third tree he had taken refuge in, yet this brother simply refused to let him go

This is quite awkward

The black fruit exploded at the moment it was struck, also affecting other fruits on the tree, resulting in a series of tremendous booms

Since being compelled to master alchemy, Qin Mu's quality of life has significantly improved

The methods employed by Qin Mu are almost ineffective against it; even the [Magic Missile] can only inflict a minor scratch. As for the [Web], heh, have you ever walked a Husky?

The snoring sound alerted Qin Mu, prompting him to quickly tread lightly and investigate.

It must be said that a proper forest survival experience has been forcibly transformed into a pastoral life by him

He tested the ground for safety with a branch, then Qin Mu descended along the vine to the ground, placing the dumpling hidden in the cloak on the ground.

This fellow's mind is definitely flawed! As soon as I find a way to get rid of it, I will go and deal with that long-tailed monkey!

Noticing the words 'explosion', Qin Mu paused to think for a moment, then cast a perplexed glance at Tangyuan.

Recalling the entire development of the incident, Qin Mu swore fiercely in his heart, taking a deadly oath

Having left the area explored yesterday, Qin Mu entered a stealth mode and cautiously advanced forward. After approximately half an hour of this progression, Qin Mu had yet to encounter a suitable hunting target

Time returns to the present

Since mastering the basics of throwing, Qin Mu's abilities in this area have greatly improved, as evidenced by the stone striking the black fruit on the tree with considerable force and precision

... ...

Explosive Fruit Forest

As expected, the monkey suddenly grabbed a vine from the tree, swung down to the wild boar's head, and delivered a fierce kick right to its eyes. Then, using the momentum, it swung to another tree and disappeared in an instant.

Qin Mu tidied up the camp, donned a dark green cloak made of wild grass and tree bark, picked up a long knife forged from stone, and set out on the journey once more

Boom boom boom

Qin Mu fully agrees with the aforementioned viewpoint and expresses his desire to maintain this tranquility; however, the wild boar below continues to crash into the tree, refusing to comply

After finishing the last sip of mushroom meat soup in the bowl, Qin Mu contentedly let out a satisfied burp

Qin Mu cautiously took a step forward, when suddenly a prompt appeared before him

I cannot provoke, I cannot provoke ! ! !

The wild boar gradually slowed its pace upon reaching this point, lingering reluctantly not far away, yet it dared not approach. After glaring at Qin Mu for a while, it snorted twice and turned to leave.

Qin Mu calmly assessed the situation in his mind, then stealthily began to retreat.

Qin Mu felt a bit flustered upon seeing that infuriating smile, suddenly realizing that things might develop in an uncontrollable direction

Tangyuan felt flustered under Qin Mu's gaze, and driven by a strong survival instinct, quickly ran a short distance away. Upon returning, he had two stones clutched in his mouth
