Demon King and Concubine

Chapter 431 The Darkness in My Heart (2)
I heard that when the fruit is ripe and hangs on the vine, it will not fall or rot by itself, but will always grow there, and then it will become hard and dry after a long time, forming a hard tumor on the vine.

She doesn't know how long this dry process will take, but she only knows that it will take a long time, at least ten years, or maybe, just one cycle.

When she looked up at the winding green vines and red flowers, and her thoughts drifted away, she suddenly saw Duanmutian standing in front of the flower vines, looking up at a certain point on the high place, pointing there, saying: " what is that?"

She looked in the direction of her finger, and saw a bit of bright yellow among the green leaves and red flowers, that yellow was only a little bigger than a cherry, if it wasn't for Bu Yan's amazing eyesight, and this color would not be too different among green and red If it's too conspicuous, you can't see it at all.

Looking at the bright yellow, cherry-like fruit, her pupils suddenly constricted.

What kind of good luck is this?Things that only bear fruit once in ten years were actually met by them.

Jun Xiuran leaned over to look at it carefully, and said, "Could this be the Holy Flame Fruit? But grandma said that the Holy Flame Fruit is shaped like a flat peach, as red as fire, and its size is as big as a flat peach."

"Maybe it just bears fruit and is not yet ripe."

Duanmutian's eyes are very bright, so bright that it can dazzle people's eyes. He stares closely at the cherry-like spot, as if staring at a rare treasure. He doesn't even blink his eyelids. .

Holy flame fruit, should it be?

No, no, it's definitely this guy!

This is the last medicine to cure the poison in Xiuran's body. With it, he no longer needs to worry about whether Xiuran will suddenly develop poison. and tormented by pain.

Although he never showed it, how could she not know that he was suffering almost every moment because of the poison in his body?

She stared at the little fruit, her gaze became more eager, and the hand hanging by her side was subconsciously clenched, causing the hem of the skirt to wrinkle, twisting tightly between her fingers.

The left shoulder suddenly sank, and the warm breath sprayed on the side of her face and ear, she turned her head to look over, and saw Jun Xiuran resting his chin on her shoulder, smiling at her.

"Tian Tian."

"Ok?"

"what are you worried about?"

"No."

"What are you nervous about?"

"I'm thinking……"

"Thinking about what?"

"I was thinking, I heard from Princess Buyan that the Holy Flame Fruit bloomed for ten years before bearing fruit, and it took three years to mature. Look at the fruit, if it is really the Holy Flame Fruit, it obviously has just bloomed not long ago, at least not yet Three years, which means that this flower vine also bears fruit once at least ten years ago."

Jun Xiuran raised his eyebrows suddenly, and immediately understood what she wanted to express.

This flower vine did not appear here just ten years ago, at least when he was bound here 15 years ago, this flower vine was already lush with branches, leaves and flowers, that is to say, in ten to thirteen years Before this period of time, there should have been a holy flame fruit here.

If calculated according to the normal situation.

So, what about the fruit?
He rested his chin lightly on her shoulder, turned his head to face her, and stared at each other, both of them had a dark mist in their eyes.

That blue-eyed fox, but there is still one left. Although it has not reappeared in the past 12 years, he should not be dead yet, maybe it is not far away.

I still remember that two years ago, when Cheng Mengxuan killed Ms. Sun in Cai Guogong's mansion, the poison he used had the breath of a blue-eyed fox.

But up to now, Cheng Mengxuan is dead, and Concubine De is imprisoned in the cold palace. Depending on the situation, it is impossible to be released again. Although the Cheng family still occupies the position of the right minister, they are no longer able to achieve anything. Believe it or not It won't be long before they will fade out of the court center like the Chong family.

What kind of stand does the blue-eyed fox stand on?And where is he now?
After so many years, Jun Xiuran never gave up trying to find out this enemy, but he really disappeared without a trace.

Their eyes were facing each other, and they were having a profound spiritual communication, so Princess Buyan standing behind them had no idea what they were thinking, and she didn't seem to have much interest in caring about their thoughts, she turned her head on her own Looking around the place.

Then, she suddenly stared at a place about a hundred meters away from the east side of the pile of rocks, and said, "Someone seems to come here often."

One sentence woke up the two couples who were in the communication of minds. They turned around suddenly to look at her, and then followed her gaze to the east side.

Frowning, and looking back, the two looked at each other, feeling a little puzzled.

"Why did the princess say that?" Duanmu Tian asked, and at the same time walked over there, wanting to have a closer look.

This jungle princess has a keen intuition and observation ability that are different from ordinary people. In some respects, even Duanmu Tian, ​​who has undergone special training and now has a deep inner strength, cannot compare to her.

So Duanmutian didn't doubt her words, but she needed to know the situation in more detail.

There was the carcass of an animal, decomposing in the sun, but it was still recognizable as an elk.

But this does not seem to be surprising, because of the existence of the holy flame fruit flower vine in this valley, it can often confuse the passing animals to come and come in, and some lucky or ferocious ones can go out again, and others will be in the valley. Lost in the scent of flowers, wandering here and starving to death.

At this moment, besides the elk, there were three other animal corpses near the flower vine, but they were not as big as the elk.

Bu Yan walked over with her with a cold and proud face, stood three steps away from the rotting corpse, touched a piece of brown grass on the ground, looked at the rotting body fluid that seemed to flow out of this elk, and said: "It smells like blood. , this thing was killed. This is blood."

There is no such creature as elk in the Yu clan jungle, so Bu Yan doesn't know what kind of animal it is, but it doesn't matter, does it?
Hearing her words, Duanmutian couldn't help looking at her in surprise.

Bloody smell?Can she smell this?There was such a strong scent of flowers, and when she approached it, there was a stench of rotting corpses. How could she still smell blood from it?And judging by the degree of decay of the corpse, combined with the factors of sun exposure here, at least it has been dead for more than five days, is there still a bloody smell wafting out?
Although he was surprised, Duanmutian didn't doubt it, but narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the rotten elk.
