Among the dense woods, a unique team is marching forward.

In front of them are four giant gray wolves, and behind them are more than a dozen humans in different costumes.

Considering that there were ordinary human beings like Xu Lin among the people ahead, Su Ming deliberately slowed down.

He only kept his speed at an extremely slow state, so that Xu Lin, who followed behind, would not consume his physical strength too quickly.

"Tread, step, step."

The temperature of the forest at noon is high, and the hot sun shines through the gaps in the branches and leaves, shining on the whole forest.

"Whoo~"

Touching the sweat on his forehead, Xu Lin let out a sigh of relief. Even if Su Ming took care of him specially, his body was still consumed faster than expected.

Looking at the dense forest overhead and the fresh air around him, Xu Lin's mood became much more relaxed.

It has been a long time for him to walk in complex terrain for such a long time. In the original legion, it was also a training every few weeks.

Since he was promoted to the top, he has been sedentary for a long time, and the increase in age has wiped out his original strong physical strength.

"Person in charge, be careful of Tengman ahead."

Chen Tian's reminder sound came from the side, at least for now, this kid is still performing his duties.

However, he underestimated Xu Lin, how could he be tripped over by Tengman.

As soon as he stepped over the vine man, Xu Lin said indifferently.

"Don't worry, I'm not that old yet. No matter what, I, Lao Xu, used to be a scout."

Following the footsteps of everyone, Xu Lin walked forward. According to the wolf king, they would reach the giant tree area in half an hour.

Thinking of the alienation fruit in the center of his mind, Xu Lin couldn't help but be filled with endless motivation.

He accelerated his pace, moved forward in a faster way, and tried his best to keep up with the leading wolves, just to see the alienation fruit this morning.

............

"rustle...."

The giant wolf claws pushed aside the branches and leaves in front of him, revealing its pure white appearance, and walked out of the woods first.

After Su Ming, dozens of figures emerged one after another, including giant wolves and humans.

What caught the eyes of all the creatures was an open lawn, and there were still some dried blood residues on the ground, which were traces of several battles.

At the same time, directly in front of the lawn, there is an incomparably huge ancient tree. Its main trunk is quite thick, and the branches and leaves above it are also extremely lush. Through the interior, you can see that it is full of silver fruits.

"Ow!"

Raising the wolf claw and pointing to the location of the giant tree, he was telling the humans that this was the giant snow ridge spruce that they had been thinking about for a long time.

Of course, Zheng Xinglong, Zhang Daoling, and Liu Quan know the exact location. Su Ming is more likely to introduce people like Xu Lin, who came here for the first time.

"Ha~ is this the giant tree?"

Walking out of the woods, Chen Tianmeng took a breath of the air around him. The narrow environment in the woods just now made him feel suffocated, so when he came to the wide area, he spread his hands and feet wildly to ease the emotions in his heart.

Looking at the giant snowy spruce in the distance, Chen Tian said thoughtfully.

"This is indeed completely different from the trees I have seen before. Such a giant tree is unheard of."

"This is also the reason why we are looking for alienated fruits. According to the report of the research base, this giant tree and the fruits above it have a considerable improvement effect on mutant creatures."

Walking to Chen Tian's side, Zheng Xinglong said in agreement.

Looking at the silver-white fruit inside, Chen Tian nodded slowly, stepped forward, and followed in the footsteps of the giant wolf.

"Let's go, Brother Zheng, I want to see what effect this fruit has."

The group was not far from the location of the giant tree, and after walking forward for about five minutes, they stood under the giant tree.

Looking at it from a close distance, the snow ridge spruce, which was huge before, seems to have grown larger. Even Chen Tian, ​​who is close to two meters high, looks very short in front of the giant tree, and he can't reach it at all. position of the branch.

"That's the alienation fruit, right?"

Pointing to the silver fruits above, Chen Tian asked.

"Ow!!"

Su Ming also let out a wolf roar and gave a positive answer.

Over the past few days, the giant tree has been picked twice by wolves and fowls. The number of fruits is indeed less than before, but there are still a lot of residues, which are completely sufficient for the needs of human beings, and the number of subsequent wolves. of re-use.

"Then let's start picking. Your Excellency the Wolf King, don't worry, we will only take the required amount according to the regulations."

Xu Lin looked at Su Ming and said.

Su Ming also nodded in response.

With his consent, human beings also acted as soon as possible. Some researchers took off the backpacks at the back, took out the drones prepared in them, and prepared to pick them up.

Unexpectedly, before they could act, the shadows on the ground suddenly surged.

Chen Tian held the iron rod tightly and guarded beside Xu Lin. The rest of the researchers also stopped their movements and looked around nervously.

"Ow!"

"It's alright, everyone."

The voices of Su Ming and Zheng Xinglong sounded at the same time.

Both are telling the newcomers that there is no danger.

"What do you mean? Captain Zheng."

Xu Lin asked the other party.

As soon as the voice fell, several long shadow ropes poured out from the ground and rushed to the position of the alienation fruit above.

"The person in charge, this is the ability of the Shadow Wolf."

Zheng Xinglong opened his mouth and explained to Xu Lin.

At the same time, several shadow ropes fused together to form a large shadow cloth, which slowly descended and finally stayed in front of the human.

The shadow cloth quickly unfolded, revealing the items wrapped inside, but it was forty-eight silver alienation fruits.

"I see."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xu Lin suddenly realized.

"Xiao Chen, put away the drone, go and pack these fruits first."

"Yes, in charge."

Seeing the surprised and shocked expression of the person in charge, Su Ming nodded in satisfaction.

Although the wolves and humans are in a cooperative relationship, he does not recommend showing the strength of the giant wolves in front of his allies.

Xu Lin was shocked again. He had seen the abilities of many creatures, but it was the first time for him to be similar to the shadow.

In this way, not only the leading wolf king, but also the three giant wolves behind him have considerable strength.

Just as Xu Lin was thinking about it, the scientific researcher next to him suddenly said.

"principal!"

Xu Lin turned to look and asked suspiciously.

"What's wrong? Xiao Chen."

The researcher raised the silver fruit in his hand and said.

"According to the feedback given by Detection II, the value of the Alienation Fruit is at the level of 592, which seems to deviate from the value detected by the previous base."

"And, the person in charge, the fruit in my hand has some golden edges at the top, and it seems to be still in the process of alienation."

Xu Lin was shocked, this is no small matter.

"what!?"

It hurriedly took the alienation fruit in the other's hand and observed it carefully, just as the researcher said.

A golden edge appeared on the top of the fruit, which means that there seems to be a possibility of continued alienation.

Could it be that this fruit is not fully ripe yet?

No, according to Captain Zheng's report to him, the giant wolves and those fowls, but after eating the alienated fruit, their strength has further increased.

According to this conclusion, at least it proves that the alienated fruit in his hand has the effect of greatly improving the strength of mutant creatures.

This has already met the standard, why is it showing a performance that has not yet been completely alienated.

Holding the fruit in his hand tightly, Xu Lin looked at the giant wolf in front of him, and at the silver-white child hole.

He found that humans seemed to be played by wolves again.

"Lord Wolf King, can you explain to us why this fruit is still in the process of alienation? It doesn't seem to meet our previous trading conditions."

Su Ming nodded slightly, holding the branches scattered nearby, and slowly wrote.

[What you got is a ripe alienation fruit, there is no doubt about this, but it is a bit special. 】

If Su Ming knew what Xu Lin was thinking at the moment, he would definitely sigh helplessly.

In fact, what humans hold in their hands is indeed the alienation fruit, which is absolutely in line with their trading conditions.

"What do you mean? Whether it is from its rising value or the golden edge, this fruit is still in the process of alienation. Forcibly picking it off is undoubtedly destroying its mutation. In time, we humans have lost a few fruits that should have had better effects."

Listening to Xu Lin's complaints, Su Ming knew that he had not listened to his own words.

[I can guarantee that you humans have no substantial losses in this transaction. Believe me, you will not want to miss this alienation fruit, but if you want to know a more detailed explanation, you need to give us the wolf Group valuable items in exchange, do you think? Xu in charge. 】

Looking at the other party's sworn appearance, Xu Lin hesitated.

The wolf king is right. Judging from the effect of the existing alienation fruit, this is indeed a fruit that cannot be missed.

However, Xu Lin also saw from his words that there was something in the other party's words, which seemed to imply something.

That's right.

Since he and others can see that the alienation fruit is still in a state of constant mutation, there is no reason why the wolves can't see it.

However, the other party still swallowed it, not waiting for its mutation to succeed before eating.

There must be something hidden in it, the effect that the wolves know about, but they humans don't know anything about.

According to the practice of alienated fruits, the effect of most fruits will gradually decrease each time they are taken, until they are completely ineffective, and some can even only take one.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Lin looked at the wolf king in front of him and asked seriously.

"I don't know what items you want, Lord Wolf King, as long as we humans have them, we will definitely exchange them with you."

Speaking of what they want, in addition to giving the core of life to the rest of the wolves, it should be the alienated plants they need for the evolution of the four wolves.

It is a pity that neither the magma zone nor the Leze area is a place where humans can go deep.

They also want to ask Su Ming to help them bring something back, where is it possible to help him bring out Lei Minghe and Lava Polygonum.

Shaking his head, Su Ming didn't consider this aspect for now, so he might as well leave it behind until he really wants to use it in the future.

[I know two kinds of information about the alienation fruit. I want to exchange this with you humans, or in exchange for two favors from you, the person in charge of Xu, and wait until the critical moment in the future before using it. 】

Looking at the text below, Xu Lin pondered silently for a long time. Compared with unknown things, it would be easier to satisfy his needs if he knew what he needed. He was afraid that the giant wolf would borrow a lot of human technology in the future, and even use it as a threat to persecute. to them.

"Of course it is, but I need to add a few conditions, do you agree?"

Su Ming nodded slowly, he could understand the other party's concerns.

After getting the reply from the wolf king, Xu Lin continued.

"Okay, first of all, you can't use the favor in exchange to order the actions of a large number of soldiers."

"Second, you can't use human favors to do anything that harms our humanity."

"If the above two points can be met, I will agree to your exchange conditions."

Xu Lin's two requests are also understandable, mainly limited to the wolf king not to use the favors he has exchanged for doing things that endanger the safety of human beings and the city.

Su Ming naturally understood, but he slowly nodded his head to show his understanding.

"Thank you for the consent of Your Excellency Wolf King. I am willing to exchange with you. Please feel free to ask for the place where I can use Xu Lin in the future."

[Very good, remember your admission today, Director Xu. 】

[Next, I will explain to you about the effects of alienation fruits that I know. 】

[The first point, the alienation fruit is actually divided into three stages, namely copper, silver, and gold. The one in front of you is changing from silver to gold, and each stage can be regarded as a mature fruit. 】

[The second point is about the benefits of alienation fruits. Among the three stages of copper, silver, and gold that it possesses, each creature can only take effect when it is taken for the first time, and it will be completely invalid after taking it again. It means that whether it is our wolf pack or you humans, there are only three truly effective opportunities to take this fruit. 】

After watching the large paragraph of text written by Su Ming, Xu Lin lowered his head and pondered.

No wonder just now, the other party will write the fruits in front of them, which is an opportunity not to be missed for human beings.

If you miss the fruit at the [Silver] stage, and you want to wait until the next time a new fruit grows, I don’t know when it will be.

However, relatively speaking, if humans want to obtain the fruit of [Gold] again, they need to make new transactions with the wolves.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Lin asked the wolf king.

"Lord Wolf King, this fruit in my hand is turning towards [Gold], right?"

[Yes, this is exactly why its value and appearance change. 】

"Then, how many days will the mutation fruit be completely mutated?"

Su Ming shook his head ~lightnovelpub.net~ and wrote slowly.

[I don't know about this either. Its growth rate depends on the amount of nutrients. If it can provide more nutrients, it can mature faster. 】

Xu Lin seemed to sense what the other party meant, and hurriedly asked, "What does this giant tree need as nutrients?"

[Corpse, the corpse of any creature will do. 】

"I understand, we humans will provide nutrients for the corpse. In exchange, I hope you can give us more discounts in the exchange of [Gold] fruits."

[This is natural, you are willing to pay, my wolves will naturally not treat allies badly, by the way, Manager Xu, let me give you a free message by the way, the fruit in your hand is called the fruit of the soul. 】
