Zhou Ming and others entered the endless black green fruit forest.

The deeper you go into the forest, the denser the Xuanqing fruit trees are, the higher the canopy is, the denser the branches and leaves are, and the more tightly they block the sun.

Therefore, the further you go in, the darker the environment becomes.

The layer of rotten leaves on the ground is very thick. When you step on it, it will sink downwards and make a "rustling" sound. In the quiet dense forest, the sound can be heard far away.

Looking up, there are many fist-sized dark green fruits on the treetops. The density of the fruits is very high, and the branches are bent and swayed in the wind.

There are many Xuanqing fruits on the trees, but the Xuanqing fruits that fall on the ground are very rare. You have to walk every dozen steps to pick one up. One of the reasons is that the Xuanqing fruits are not easy to fall off after they are mature, and you have to beat them hard with a wooden pole. fall.

Another reason may be that they were eaten by the Guo Guo Rabbit. After all, although the Guo Guo Rabbit runs nimbly and has amazing jumping ability, climbing trees is not their strong point. The Xuanqing Fruit that falls automatically is their main source of food.

Picking up a Xuanqing fruit casually, Zhou Mingfang looked at it in his hand.

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

The key thing is that a large piece of the outer shell of the Xuanqing fruit in my hand has been chewed off, and part of the inner pulp has been eaten.

Seeing the gnawed gap, the wood was fresh and had no signs of rotting or blackening. Zhou Ming judged that there must be a Guo Guo Rabbit nearby.

And after hearing the news of their arrival, he immediately stopped eating and fled elsewhere.

"What a bunch of vigilant Pot Pot Rabbits."

Throwing the Xuan Qing Guo in his hand on the ground, Zhou Ming clapped his hands and said.

"Master, don't go any further. We are already hundreds of miles deep. If we go in any further, we may be in danger."

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

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

Zhou Ming pointed to the darker direction ahead.

"Master, although the Guo Guo Rabbits have no offensive power, it will be difficult for us to deal with tens of thousands of them. And there are not many fruit pickers here. If there is an accident, it will be difficult to call for help."

"Uncle Feng, didn't we all come in wearing armor? If we can't kill all the Guo Guo Rabbits, there is no problem in returning them whole."

Bai Jingfeng shook his head and said: "You have never experienced the power of Guo Guo Rabbit. Only those who experienced the battle a few months ago know what it means to be powerless."

"Uncle Feng, aren't you scared out of your wits by the little Potato Rabbit? A group of rabbits, you think they are powerful? Hahahaha!"

Bai Yuanliang laughed, feeling 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 Guo Guo Rabbit is? People outside are laughing at us from Hyun Qingcheng."

Bai Qingmu, Bai Xiuxiu, Bai Yuanbao and others who were following him all said that Bai Jingfeng was blushing with shame. A man in his thirties was embarrassed by a group of children.

"That's enough. Uncle Feng also considers our safety, 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 more vigilant while continuing to go deeper.

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

Millions of acres of Xuanqing fruit forest finally entered from the outermost to the innermost.

We arrived at the edge of this dark green fruit forest.

Reaching the border of another forest.

There was an empty middle ground.

In this middle area, there are no tall trees, only some low trees, and large open spaces.

A smile appeared on Zhou Ming's lips.

Finally a major discovery was made.

After walking a few hundred meters further, in the woods opposite, Zhou Ming nodded repeatedly after seeing fresh sawdust, pieces of log piles, and trees that had been chewed beyond recognition.

Returning to the area near the Xuanqing fruit forest, Zhou Ming took a hard branch, dug down a few times at the base of a Xuanqing fruit tree that was less than ten centimeters tall, and then dug out a Xuanqing fruit.

A black green fruit with buds.

The strange thing is that the shell of this Xuanqing fruit is very thin and covered with traces of animal bites, but it is just right without exposing the flesh inside.

"I see."

"finally, I understand."

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

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

"Yes, boss, what have you discovered?" Bai Yuanliang also came over and asked.

"I discovered the reason why this black green fruit forest exists and was formed."

Zhou Ming said.

"ah?"

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

Others also opened their eyes with curiosity, wanting to hear the explanation from the young master's mouth.

The people in Xuaqing City have been speculating and arguing endlessly for hundreds of years as to how this Xuanqing fruit forest came into being.

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

Some people think that it was planted by fruit farmers and grown bit by bit, but many people have tried to grow Xuanqing fruit and found that the fruit shell is too thick and cannot germinate after being buried in the ground for ten years, and there is no sign of rot... … No one has succeeded in artificially growing Xuanqing fruit.

There are also myths and legends such as "the theory of immortals planting" and "the theory of monsters planting" to explain the existence of the Xuanqing fruit forest, but even fewer people believe it.

Because someone 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 monsters planting trees, they would have been planted long ago. It should have been discovered.

Therefore, the reason for the existence and formation of Xuanqing Fruit Forest has become a mystery that has remained unsolved for many years.

And this mystery was solved by Zhou Ming today.

"This Xuanqing fruit forest was not planted by humans, immortals, or monsters, but by those pot-pot rabbits."

"These rabbits and the Xuanqing fruit trees have formed a symbiotic relationship of mutual benefit. They work closely together to continuously expand their respective groups and living ranges."

"Guo Guo rabbits have hard teeth. They can chew up large areas of plant forest to open up a territory for the growth of Xuanqing fruit trees. They also help to chew the thin shell of Xuanqing fruit so that the seeds can successfully break through the shell after being planted in new soil. And out."

"The black green fruit tree provides food for the Guo Guo Rabbit. In addition, the Guo Guo Rabbit's teeth grow very quickly. It must constantly gnaw at the hard Xuan Qing Fruit to wear off the rapidly growing teeth. And other animals cannot break through the hard Xuan Qing Fruit. The Xuanqing fruit cannot be eaten without the shell, so this fruit has become the unique food of Guo Guo Rabbit."

"So, Guo Guo Rabbit and Xuan Qing Guo, an animal and a plant, became almost the most perfect ideal partners in nature. Each got what they needed, helped each other, and achieved a win-win situation."

"It's just that when the demand for Xuanqing Fruit in Hyunqing City increased dozens of times in a short period of time, and a large amount of Guo Guo Rabbit's food was taken away, naturally, a conflict broke out between us and the Guo Guo Rabbits."

"It's a life-and-death conflict for one party."

"So we should still control the amount of Xuanqing fruit picked, and we should not kill all the Guoguo 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 grown by those rabbits, this, this..." Guard Bai Jingfeng looked in amazement, feeling quite subverted. It turned out that those pot rabbits were not completely bad things, but had a lot of merit.

"Wow, such a large fruit forest is all grown by those rabbits. These rabbits are really amazing."

"No wonder we can't grow a single Xuanqing fruit tree. We have to chew off a layer of the fruit shell. If we thin the fruit shell ourselves and then plant it, can we also grow saplings?" Bai Qingmu's The inference was confirmed by Zhou Ming, who believed that there was a high probability of planting saplings.

"The young master is so smart. Many mysteries that many people could not solve were solved by the young master at once." Bai Xiuxiu looked at Zhou Ming with admiration, feeling that the young master was too powerful.

"No, rabbits, lots and lots of rabbits!"

"We're surrounded by rabbits!"

Bai Yuanbao suddenly screamed, with fear in his voice.

Zhou Ming and others looked up and were all stunned.

Within the visible range of the field of vision, in all directions, in the wilderness and dense forests, all that is spread on the ground is a uniform light gray color.

Like a huge gray blanket.

What's even more chilling is that on this giant gray blanket, there are countless eyes glowing red.

The Pot Pot Rabbit Army is coming!
