Zhou Ming and his group entered the endless Xuanqing Fruit Forest.

The deeper you go into the forest, the greater the density of the Xuanqing Fruit Tree, the higher the crown, the denser the branches and leaves, and the more tightly the sunlight is blocked.

Therefore, the more you go, the darker the environment becomes.

The corrosive fallen leaves on the ground are very thick. When you step on it, it will sink downwards and make a "rustling" sound. In the quiet dense forest, the sound will be quite far away.

Looking up, there were many fist-sized black green fruits on the treetops on the high places. The fruits were very dense, which pressed the branches and swayed in the wind.

There are many Xuanqing fruits on the tree, but there are very few Xuanqing fruits falling on the ground. You have to walk more than ten steps to pick one. One of the reasons is that Xuanqing fruits are still not easy to fall after they are ripe, and they have to be beaten hard with a wooden pole to fall.

Another reason may be that it was eaten by the Guoguo Rabbit. After all, although the Guoguo Rabbit runs flexibly and has amazing jumping power, climbing trees is not their strength. The automatically falling Xuanqing fruit is their main source of food.

He picked up a Xuanqing Fruit and Zhou Ming let it go and looked at it.

The appearance of the Xuanqing fruit is somewhat similar to that of walnuts, but the shell is much thicker, with a green skin and an ellipsoidal shape, which looks a bit like a small coconut.

The key is that a large piece of the outer shell of the Xuanqing fruit in my hand was chewed off, and a part of the flesh inside was eaten.

When I saw the gap where I was gnawed, the wood was fresh and there was no sign of rotting and blackening. Zhou Ming judged that there must be a pot rabbit nearby.

And after hearing the movements of their arrival, they immediately stopped eating and fled to another place.

"What a group of alert bunnies."

The Xuanqing Fruit in his hand was thrown to the ground, and Zhou Ming clapped his hands and said.

"Young Master, don't go in anymore. We have been going deeper for hundreds of miles. If you go in again, you may encounter danger."

The family guard Bai Jingfeng said that his duty is to protect the young master's safety personally. If something happens to the young master, he will undoubtedly be severely punished.

"Uncle Feng, I have discovered some clues. If you walk more than ten miles in, you will definitely make some important discoveries."

Zhou Ming pointed to the darker direction ahead.

"Young Master, although Guoguotu has no attack power, it is difficult for us to deal with thousands or tens of thousands of them. Moreover, there are not many fruit pickers here. If something unexpected happens, it is difficult to call for help."

"Uncle Feng, aren't we all wearing armor? We can't kill the Guoguotu, and it's still okay to get out of here."

Bai Jingfeng shook his head and said, "You have never experienced the power of the pot-pot rabbit. Only those who have experienced it know what powerlessness means to deal with it in that battle a few months ago."

"Uncle Feng, you were scared by the little tiny turtle rabbits, right? A bunch of rabbits, do you think they are powerful? Hahahaha!"

Bai Yuanliang laughed loudly and felt like he heard a very funny joke.

"It shouldn't be that scary, it's just a bunch of rabbits."

"Last month, a monk swung his sword and killed 100,000 pot rabbits."

"Uncle Feng, can you stop talking about how powerful Guoguotu is? Everyone outside is laughing at us people in Xuanqingcheng."

Bai Qingmu, Bai Xiuxiu, Bai Yuanbao and others who were following each other said, and Bai Jingfeng was so embarrassed that he blushed. A man in his thirties was ashamed of being told by a group of children.

"Enough, Uncle Feng is also considering the safety of our waiting period, so don't make fun of him anymore."

Zhou Ming criticized several friends, but decided to go deeper and explore some secrets.

Bai Jingfeng couldn't twist him, so he had to be vigilant while continuing to go deeper.

In this way, I walked for another day, nearly a hundred miles.

The millions of acres of Xuanqing Fruit Forest finally entered the innermost from the outside.

Arrived at the edge of this Xuanqing Fruit Forest.

Arrive at the border of another forest.

An empty middle area appeared.

There is no tall tree in this middle area, only some low trees and large open spaces.

Zhou Ming smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Finally a major discovery was made.

After walking hundreds of meters further forward, Zhou Ming nodded repeatedly after seeing fresh wood chips all over the ground, round wooden stakes, and unrecognizable trees in the woods opposite.

Back to the place close to the Xuanqing Fruit Forest, Zhou Ming took a piece of hard branches and dug down a few times at the root of a Xuanqing Fruit Tree less than ten centimeters tall, and then dug out a Xuanqing Fruit.

A black green fruit that sprouts.

Strangely, the shell of this Xuanqing fruit is very thin, covered with traces of animal bites, and it just rightly does not expose the flesh inside.

"I see."

"I finally understand."

Zhou Ming was overjoyed, as if he had discovered a shocking secret.

"Young Master, what do you understand?" Bai Jingfeng asked with a strange look on his face.

"Yes, boss, what did you find?" Bai Yuanliang also came over and asked.

"I discovered why this Xuanqing Fruit Forest exists and forms."

Zhou Ming said.

"ah?"

Bai Xiuxiu exclaimed and asked quickly: "What's the reason? Master, please tell me quickly."

The others also opened their eyes wide and looked curious, wanting to hear the explanation from the young master.

In fact, the people in Xuanqing City have been speculating and debated for hundreds of years about how this Xuanqing Fruit Forest appeared.

Some people think it has always been there and has been passed down from ancient times, but according to the records of ancestors, five hundred years ago, there was not a single black green fruit tree in the south of Xuanqing City, let alone such a large fruit forest.

Some people also think that it was planted by fruit farmers and planted it bit by bit, but many people have tried planting black green fruits and found that the shells were too thick and could not sprout in the ground for ten years, and there was no sign of rot... No one of them succeeded in planting black green fruits manually.

There are also legends such as "Immortal Planting Theory", "Terror Beast Planting Theory", etc. to explain the existence of the Xuanqing Fruit Forest, but fewer people believe it.

Because some people discovered that the area of ​​this Xuanqing Fruit Forest is expanding every year. More than a hundred years ago, it was only a few thousand acres, but now it has millions of acres, and the area seems to be expanding... If there were really a monster planting trees, it would have been discovered long ago.

Therefore, the reasons for the existence and formation of the Xuanqing Fruit Forest have become a mystery that cannot be solved for many years.

And this mystery was solved by Zhou Ming today.

"This Xuanqing Fruit Forest is not a human, nor an immortal, nor a monster, but a pot-pot-raised rabbit."

"These rabbits and the Xuanqing Fruit Tree form a symbiotic relationship of interests. They are closely united and constantly expand their respective ethnic groups and survival scope."

"Bulb rabbits have hard teeth. They can chew off large areas of plant forests and open up to become the growth territory of the Xuanqing fruit tree. They can help chew the shells of Xuanqing fruits so that the seeds can break out of the shells after they are planted in new soil."

"The Xuanqing Fruit Tree provides food for the Guoguo Rabbit. In addition, the teeth of the Guoguo Rabbit grow very quickly. You must constantly chew the hard Xuanqing fruit to grind off the fast-growing teeth. Moreover, other animals cannot open the hard shells and cannot eat the Xuanqing fruit, so this fruit has become the unique food of the Guoguo Rabbit."

"So, Guoguo Rabbit and Xuanqing Fruit, an animal and a plant, became almost the most perfect and ideal partners in nature, each taking the needs, helping each other, and achieving win-win results."

"However, when the demand for Xuanqing fruit in Xuanqing City increased by dozens of times in a short period of time, it snatched a large amount of Guoguotu's food, and naturally, we had a conflict with Guoguotu."

"The conflict concerning one party's life and death."

"So we should still control the amount of picking Xuanqing fruits, and we should not kill all the rabbits. These rabbits may have great research and utilization value."

After Zhou Ming finished speaking, everyone suddenly realized.

"So that's it. It turns out that this fruit forest was planted by those rabbits. This, this..." Guardian Bai Jingfeng was amazed and felt quite subversive. It turned out that those pot-pot rabbits were not completely bad things, but had a lot of contributions.

"Wow, such a large area of ​​fruit forest is all grown by those rabbits. These rabbits are so amazing."

"No wonder we can't even plant a single black green fruit tree. We have to chew off the shells. If we grind the shells thin and plant them, can we also plant seedlings?" Bai Qingmu's inference was affirmed by Zhou Ming, and he believed that there is a high probability of planting seedlings.

"The young master is so smart. The mystery that many people cannot solve was solved by the young master at once." Bai Xiuxiu looked at Zhou Ming with admiration, thinking that the young master was too powerful.

"Not good, rabbits, so many rabbits!"

"We are surrounded by rabbits!"

Bai Yuanbao suddenly screamed with fear in his voice.

Zhou Ming and others looked up and were stunned.

Within the visible range, in all directions, in the wilderness and dense forests, the ground is covered with uniform light gray coloring.

Like a huge gray blanket.

What is even more heartbreaking is that on this giant gray blanket, there are countless red eyes flashing.
