Chapter 18 Devil Fruits!
Chapter 18 Devil Fruits!
After seeing Lin Xia's expression, Shuang Ruxue subconsciously asked:
"Master, which way should we go?"
Zhu Zhuyun nodded in agreement.
Lin Xia's gaze quickly shifted between the kiwi orchard and the mechanical corridor.
Fruits from the kiwi orchard have a chance to grant special abilities, and when combined with one's own talents, this chance can be amplified infinitely.
As for the mechanical corridor, although there are traps, I also have a lucky hint that if I can get through it, I can obtain an unknown precision mechanical artifact.
However, the kiwi orchard is closer to the treasure location on the sheepskin map.
So Lin Xia pointed to the left without much hesitation.
"We need to resupply. There's a strange orchard on the left, where the fruits contain special abilities. However, we can only pick five; if we pick more than five, we'll be hunted down."
"So, please don't be careless with your things, remember?"
"clear!"
The two immediately got into the zone, and Lin Xia followed her directly into the car.
The doomsday chariot roared again, and its huge auger spun wildly, slamming into the earthen wall on the left!
Boom—!
Dust flew everywhere, and rocks crumbled.
With the drill bit blazing furiously clearing the way, the passage to the new underground cavern quickly took shape.
A few seconds later, accompanied by a muffled thud and the piercing noise of the drill spinning freely, the obstacle in front was completely broken through.
The drill bit slowly came to a stop, and smoke and dust filled the air.
Lin Xia turned off the engine and opened the car door.
A scent that blends earthy aromas, the fragrance of grass and trees, and a certain indescribable fresh fruitiness wafts over, instantly invigorating the senses.
Through the gradually dissipating smoke and dust, the scene before them was a sight to behold.
This is indeed a vibrant cave, of a suitable size.
The cave walls were covered with moss that emitted a soft, fluorescent glow, providing ample light.
The ground was soft humus soil, with low-growing, exotic grasses growing on it.
The most eye-catching feature is the several uniquely shaped fruit trees in the center of the cave.
Their trunks are like gnarled jade, their leaves are like translucent emeralds, and their branches are laden with a dozen or so fruits.
The fruits were of various shapes and sizes, some resembling glistening bunches of grapes, emitting a faint blue-purple glow.
Some resemble small, burning suns, displaying a warm orange-red hue.
Others resemble gems encased in leaf sheaths, shimmering with a warm, milky-white luster.
The fruity aroma filling the air, when inhaled, truly makes one feel the fatigue slowly dissipate.
"Wow……"
Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but let out a low gasp, emerging from the shadows, her cat ears twitching curiously as she examined the glowing fruits.
Frost-like Snow squinted her eyes, seemingly enjoying the refreshing air.
As soon as Lin Xia entered, her gaze immediately locked onto the several crystalline vines around the fruit tree that shimmered with an earthy yellow light and coiled like giant pythons.
Seeing this, Lin Xia dared not gamble on what terrifying consequences would result from waking up these crystal vine guardians.
So without hesitation, he said directly:
"You two stay put and don't come any closer! I'm going to pick some fruit!"
"clear!"
Shuang Ruxue and Zhu Zhuyun responded in unison, immediately adopting a defensive posture.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xia shot towards the nearest kiwi tree like an arrow released from a bow.
Just as he approached, the lucky clues clearly marked the unique features of each fruit.
However, when Lin Xia saw the message, her heart almost jumped out of her throat!
Devil Fruit!
It's a Devil Fruit!
Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Heal-Heal Fruit, Door-Door Fruit, Magnet-Magnet Fruit, Chop-Chop Fruit, Ox-Ox Fruit (Giraffe Form), Dog-Dog Fruit (Wolf Form)...
Look at the abilities represented by these fruits.
Lin Xia also took a deep breath, suppressing her almost boiling excitement.
They quickly analyzed how well the abilities suited them and others.
After making up her mind, Lin Xia did not hesitate at all.
He directly picked five Devil Fruits of different shapes and sizes, and in the blink of an eye, he had them firmly in his possession!
Although there were other fruits on the branches that shimmered with an alluring light, Lin Xia forcefully suppressed her greed.
Too much too!
His greatest asset was his luck, and he firmly believed that the warning was not unfounded.
After picking all five fruits, Lin Xia returned directly to the Doomsday Chariot and said with a smile:
"We've hit the jackpot!"
Shuang Ruxue knew about Lin Xia's talent, and seeing that Lin Xia said so, it proved that these fruits were definitely not ordinary, so she also laughed.
Zhu Zhuyun looked at Lin Xia with a puzzled expression and asked with great curiosity:
"Boss, is there anything special about these fruits?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xia replied seriously:
"These fruits are Devil Fruits!"
Upon hearing this, Shuang Ruxue immediately covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
"Devil Fruits? Devil Fruits from the world of One Piece?"
Lin Xia nodded.
"Absolutely true!"
Frost like snow just felt outrageous.
This is such incredible luck!
Zhu Zhuyun, who came from another world, had no concept of the pirate world and still looked confused.
Upon seeing this, Lin Xia immediately gave a brief explanation of the core concept of Devil Fruits.
Each fruit grants a unique and powerful ability, but only one can be eaten per person, and the taste is extremely bad.
After saying all that, Lin Xia continued:
"These five are the Rumble-Rumble Fruit—which allows one to control lightning."
"Door-Door Fruit - Allows you to open doors anywhere, even into other dimensions."
"The Chop-Chop Fruit - the body can split and be freely controlled, and is immune to cuts."
"Healing Fruit - It can release healing energy to heal wounds."
"Magnet Fruit - It allows you to manipulate magnetism to attract or repel metal."
After saying these words, Lin Xia directly said:
"I've reserved the Thunderclap. You can choose the rest, one for each of you, pick the one that suits you best."
After hesitating for a moment, Shuang Ruxue also looked at the fruit with strange swirling patterns.
"The Door-Door Fruit! With it, we can attack or defend, and if we encounter danger, we can open the door to escape at any time, greatly increasing our safety!"
Lin Xia nodded without saying anything.
Zhu Zhuyun stared at the fruit that looked as if it were made up of countless fragments.
"Torn to pieces! This is great! I can split my body to evade fatal attacks and launch surprise attacks from blind spots. Combined with my assassination skills, it's like adding wings to a tiger!"
Zhu Zhuyun seemed to already see herself transformed into an invisible assassin.
"good!"
Lin Xia neatly put the Magnet Fruit and Healing Fruit back into his backpack, handed the Door-Door Fruit to Shuang Ruxue, and the Chop-Chop Fruit to Zhu Zhuyun.
"Remember, no matter how bad it tastes, you have to finish it all; don't leave a single bite!"
Upon hearing this, Shuang Ruxue and Zhu Zhuyun also picked up the fruit and started eating it.
Seeing this, Lin Xia did not hesitate and immediately picked up the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and started eating it.
After the fruit entered her mouth, Lin Xia felt as if she had eaten poop; it was absolutely awful!
"vomit--!"
"Ugh... what the hell is this smell!"
"Good heavens... even worse than a rotten fish..."
An indescribable, terrifying taste, as if it were a mixture of all the most disgusting substances in the world, exploded in their mouths instantly. The intense physiological reaction made the three of them turn pale and their stomachs churn.
