Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 408 "Venom"? (4100)

At such a distance, Wu Liang finally saw clearly the shape of the mass inside the hollowed-out bronze ball.

It looks like a mass of slurry in a vacuum environment. As the color changes, its surface occasionally has a slight fluctuation, but it will soon return to a standard spherical shape.

And in the process of Wu Liang's careful observation.

The color of this slurry was still slowly changing, and after about 2 minutes, the red was finally gradually replaced, completely turning into a translucent black purple.

"This……"

If this thing is a mulberry, this color means that it has reached the most ripe state for eating.

But the thing in front of me is obviously not a mulberry, at least it is not an ordinary mulberry, and it is covered with a hollow bronze skin, so it doesn't look like something edible.

Not to mention eating, Wu Liang didn't even dare to get closer now, lest something unexpected happen to get him involved.

"Young master, you can see clearly, is this thing a mulberry fruit?"

Yu Ji's slightly expectant voice came from behind.

"Your mulberries are made of bronze?"

Wu Liang looked back at the old boy.

But Yu Ji said solemnly: "There are some rare and rare beasts that do not conform to common sense in the world. You must not be biased. Take the 'Diamond Diamond' of your son as an example. Let's say it is a living thing. It has no bones. Meatless looks like a rock. It usually does not eat, drink, pull or scatter, but it is neither hungry nor thirsty and will not starve to death. How many people have seen such a living thing? It can be said to be a dead thing, and it can Awakened by the bell, eating iron and copper like chewing rotten wood, and can be killed by antelope horns and blood... Therefore, the old man thought that if this thing is really the mulberry fruit of the legendary "hibiscus tree", then it is different from the ordinary mulberry tree. If there are some differences, it is reasonable."

"Emmm..."

I have to admit that Yu Ji's words do have some truth, but...

Wu Liang pondered for a while, and finally said again: "If this huge bronze tree is the hibiscus tree, and this thing is the mulberry fruit produced by the hibiscus tree, so what?"

"Young master is confused, since it is a fruit, of course you have to pick it and eat it!"

Yu Ji suddenly showed excitement, rubbed his hands and said, "The fruit produced by this kind of sacred tree is a fairy fruit, and mortals will benefit a lot from taking it!"

"How does the old man know that taking the fruit of the hibiscus tree is good for you? What is the basis?"

Wu Liang then asked with a frown.

He was not arguing with Yu Ji, but sincerely asking for advice.

After all, not to mention whether this suspected "fruit" with a hollow bronze shell can be eaten by people, even if it can be eaten, it is still unknown what will happen afterwards.

As far as Wu Liang knew, a large part of the rare and exotic beasts recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing" stated what miraculous effects would be produced after eating.

But this does not mean that all these miraculous effects are beneficial to people, and most of them are harmful to people.

Just like the "three-legged turtles" he found in Haihunhou's tomb before, they are also rare beasts recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing".

However, among all the ancient documents about "Fusang tree" that Wu Liang knows, there is not a single record that mentions whether the fruit of "Fusang tree" is edible.

What's more, there is no mention of the effect of eating the fruit of the "hibiscus tree".

and so.

Before he figured out the specific effect, Wu Liang would definitely not regard it as a "good fruit", otherwise if something went wrong, it would be too late to regret it.

"This……"

Yu Ji was taken aback by Wu Liang's question, frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "I don't have any basis for being old, but this 'Fusang tree' is a unique sacred tree in the world, and the fruit it bears must also be a unique sacred object. Now that you have been found by Young Master, even if you don’t know what its function is, Young Master should take it off and take it away, and it is expedient to slowly study its specific effects in the future.”

"Old boy, how do you know that picking this fruit will not cause any unpredictable danger? What is the basis?"

But Yang Wanli interrupted again.

"This……"

Yu Ji was taken aback by the question again.

"How about this, how about we invite young master to come back first, and tie you silkworm silk for you to pick?"

Yang Wanli was suspected of being a bit of an argument, so he asked back with a sideways look.

"Absolutely not!"

Yu Ji was so frightened that he took several steps back, his head was as big as a rattle, and he said repeatedly, "This old man is old and weak, let alone whether he can move freely on this stone bridge, he just went to pick the fruit. , this fruit is not small, and there is a heavy bronze shell on the outside, I am afraid that the old man may not be able to hold it firmly, if the fruit is accidentally dropped under the bridge, how can the old man take care of it?"

"That's enough, that's enough, don't make any more arguments. It's not the first day everyone knows you, so you just don't dare."

Yang Wanli curled his lips and said with a look of contempt.

"You bastard... you dare, you go?"

Yu Ji asked in dissatisfaction.

"Just go, I'm not like you."

Yang Wanli was also unambiguous, and immediately turned around and arched his hands to ask Wu Liang for orders, "Young master is the support of the Huren army, you must not put yourself in danger, I implore you to turn back first, Yang Wanli is willing to pick this fruit for you! "

"Okay, stop arguing."

But Wu Liang waved his hand and said, "I am only a few feet away from you, if I really encounter a dangerous situation, you may not be able to survive alone, it is the same for anyone."

After a brief exchange, he had accepted Yu Ji's suggestion in his heart.

Even if he will not eat this "fruit" rashly, he will definitely not leave this "fruit" where it is. After all, he has to pick it off and go back to study it, otherwise his heart will not be at peace.

If not, with what he has now, he can basically stay in Cao Nutritious to grow old, so why run out to engage in this dangerous tomb robbery?

Also.

Since the mass of slurry inside the fruit turned black and purple, it has completely calmed down, and there has been no change in the process of everyone talking.

Therefore, Wu Liang is more and more inclined to pick it off.

Thinking of this, Wu Liang clenched the "Diamond Umbrella" in his hand, and after checking his equipment, especially the pair of cowhide gloves that could temporarily block most poisons, he walked slowly towards the The "fruit" moved.

"!"

At this moment, the others also held their breath, looking at Wu Liang's back nervously.

They wanted to remind Wu Liang to be careful, but to Wu Liang, who was already very cautious, it was just a piece of nonsense, and it would actually interfere with Wu Liang.

Dian Wei held onto the "Silkworm God Treasure Silk" even tighter.

If there was even the slightest suspicion of danger, he would immediately withdraw Wu Liang to avoid any harm to Wu Liang.

Zhuge Liang and Yu Ji took up the "Three Bow Bed Crossbow" model and aimed at the fruit.

Yang Wanli held the engineer shovel across his chest, keeping his body slightly lowered, as if he was going to rush up at any time.

Bai Jingjing clenched her fist tightly, her white teeth bit her lower lip, her palms were already soaked in sweat...

……

The hand wearing the cowhide glove slowly reached out to the fruit.

Wu Liang was also a little nervous. He didn't know what would happen next, but he also knew that this matter must be done, so he had to bite the bullet.

at last.

"!"

Everyone's eyelids twitched.

Because Wu Liang's middle finger had already touched the fruit, the fruit shook accordingly, and the black-purple slurry inside the fruit also fluctuated slightly.

It turned out that... nothing happened.

Wu Liang didn't feel any discomfort, nor did he notice any obvious changes in the fruit and the "Fusang tree". Everything was so peaceful.

"call--"

Wu Liang let out a long breath, calmed down a little, and dared to continue to approach the fruit.

"..."

Everyone also let out a long breath, the hanging heart finally sank, and the slightly forward body finally relaxed a bit. From this point of view, there shouldn't be any problem... That's good, this just fine.

at last.

Wu Liang fully supported the bottom of the fruit with one palm, and then lifted it slightly upwards.

It doesn't seem to be as heavy as imagined, but it's not light either. It should weigh about two or three catties.

The question now is how to remove it from the "hibiscus tree".

Wu Liang has already seen the place where this fruit is connected to the "Fusang tree". The same intact bronze strip is about the thickness of a wrist. It seems that it will take some bizarre effort to break it off.

Do you want to summon the "Diamond Diamond"?
Thinking of this, Wu Liang saw that there seemed to be no danger, so he simply put away the "Vajra Umbrella" and put it behind his back, then moved a little closer, held the fruit with both hands, and gently moved it to try .

As a result, it only took a little effort.

Just heard a light "pop".

The wrist-thick bronze strip unexpectedly snapped off, and the fractured place was very smooth and straight, as if it had been sawed in advance, but before that, Wu Liang hadn't seen any traces.

As far as Wu Liang knows, after the fruit in nature matures, it will indeed produce a fracture that separates from the tree body. Even if it is not picked by people, it will fall after the fracture gradually shrinks, so as to complete the "inheritance of the family" mission.

I don't know if this fruit is in a similar situation.

However, being able to take it off easily saved Wu Liang a lot of effort, and it was a pleasant surprise.

"It's done!"

The "fruit" has been successfully obtained, Wu Liang hugged it in his arms, and turned around to return.

at this time.

"Crack...Crack!"

The "fruit" in his arms suddenly made a soft sound.

Wu Liang hurriedly lowered his head to check, but saw that there were several extremely neat top-to-bottom cracks on the hollowed-out bronze skin outside the "fruit", just like the shell of a ripe and cracked durian.

"This is?!"

Wu Liang vaguely felt something was wrong.

But before he had time to react, the hollowed-out bronze skin immediately fell apart again!
The black-purple slurry inside could no longer maintain the state of a sphere in a vacuum, and exploded instantly, contaminating Wu Liang's hands and chest.

Wu Liang wore cowhide gloves on his hands, but he only had a single shirt and a lining on his chest.

However, while being stained with the black-purple slurry, Wu Liang's chest did not feel soaked wetness, on the contrary, he felt a rather comfortable warmth, as if he was holding a warm baby in his arms.

It's a pity that this comfortable warmth can't alleviate Wu Liang's bewildered state.

too suddenly.

Without any precautions or concerns, the fruit suddenly became like this.

the most important is.

Before he figured out what kind of effect this fruit had, he was suddenly soaked by the black-purple juice inside, and it was obvious that he had directly made intimate contact with his skin.

and so……

Will not have any problems?

After all, it was only contaminated on the body and not ingested into the body. This can only be regarded as external application at best.

The only thing I can only be thankful for is that the slurry doesn't seem like an ordinary liquid, and it didn't drop a drop on the ground after it became like this, but it was all stained on Wu Liang's body like a piece of chewing gum.

In other words, if Wu Liang wants to study it, he can still collect it...

And just as he was thinking so.

"Xixi - Soso -"

These viscous black-purple slurries suddenly surged as if possessing life and consciousness.

Wu Liang could clearly feel the serous fluid wriggling rapidly on his body, and it was reassembled into a whole in just the blink of an eye.

It's just that this time the slurry didn't return to its original state, but was spread flat and tightly clinging to his body like candy.

"Damn, what the hell is this?!"

Wu Liang finally started to panic.

The only thing he can think of similar to this slurry is the "venom" in the later Marvel movies.

But these slurries obviously cannot be "venom", because "venom" is just a symbiosis of alien material virtualized by the creators of later generations, without any scientific basis, and it has nothing to do with the ancient myths and legends of the Chinese Dynasty.

"Master?!"

The backbone of the Huan army also quickly discovered the situation on Wu Liang's side, and their expressions instantly became tense and concerned.

at the same time.

"Boom--"

Loud noises and vibrations ensued.

A scorching warm current mixed with the smell of rotten eggs spewed up from below. This is definitely not a good phenomenon, and it indicates that there may be strong geological changes here again, and there is even the possibility of a volcano erupting.

"Run, let's get out first and then say... Uuuuuuuuuu!"

Wu Liang could no longer care about the slurry sticking to his body, and ran wildly, yelling at everyone.

It's a pity that when he just yelled a few words, the puddle of slurry had already moved along his shoulders and neck to his face, and quickly covered his entire head tightly.

Then the soldiers divided into seven groups and crazily drilled into his seven orifices, even the gas mask on his face couldn't stop the pervasive slurry!
