Chapter 2349: Flame Fruit
In the face of such a treasure, the three cultivators rushed forward to grab it without even thinking.
Such treasures were invaluable. They were worth a fortune, regardless of if they were eaten or sold.
Four fruits! If they could grab an additional one, that’d be great.
Although they weren’t fighting now, every one of them had hidden intentions.
The three flew towards the flame fruit on the edge of the cliff.
But as soon as the three of them flew in, thumb-sized moths flew over and covered the sky.
No one had noticed the moths earlier. Those moths, whose body color was similar to the color of the cliff, had been resting on the side of the cliff.
Whenever someone approached, these moths flood over and cover the sky. When they flap their wings, white powder would fall.
These powders were from the wings of the moths.
These powders were also poisonous!
It was icy and snowy right now, and the moths should have frozen to death long ago, but there were so many moths gathered here. They must be relying on the warmth from the flame fruit.
Moths tended to be attracted to light and warmth, and they relied on flame fruit to keep warm for the winter. Now that someone wanted to pick that fruit, these moths flooded and covered the sky.
The moths swarmed the three. They tried to cut down these moths with a sword, but it was like trying to hit a mosquito with a cannon.
The moths flew towards their faces. In the cultivators’ eyes, these moths were poisonous and greatly lethal.
However, they were still cultivators, after all. One of them instantly started forming hand signs and released a fire dragon. In an instant, the moths in front of him were roasted and fell to the ground.
There was a smell of scorched protein in the air.
But there were too many moths. The cultivators had to burn wave after wave of them. Although they had no fighting power, they were very annoying.
Ning Shu stared at the flame fruit on the cliff. She crawled, with all the muscles in her body trembling, then gathered all her strength and stepped on the cliff, and ran to the front of the flame fruit.
This flame fruit was only about the size of a small cherry tomato, so Ning Shu took two with her mouth and ran away.
Ning Shu didn’t dare to stop for a moment and ran away in a flash.
“Brother, that beast grabbed two fruits,” a cultivator couldn’t help but said angrily. When he was talking, a moth flew into his mouth.
The moth’s wings fluttered in his mouth, disgusting him. His entire mouth and lips were numb due to the poison.
Ning Shu ran fast with the flame fruits in her mouth. The flame fruits were so hot that Ning Shu felt that her tongue was about to blister.
Even the saliva in her mouth was boiling.
But Ning Shu had to wrap it well with her mouth, otherwise, the moths would come after her.
She had left two flame fruits to prevent those moths and cultivators from chasing after her.
Besides, there were three people, but only two fruits.
It would be nice if two peaches could kill three scholars.
They wouldn’t be able to evenly split, so there would definitely be an argument.
Ning Shu ran towards the cave, and Yi Liang was waiting for Ning Shu at the entrance of the cave.
It was really cold outside, Yi Liang hugged his clothes tightly with both hands. He also kept jumping to keep warm.
When he saw Ning Shu coming back, he couldn’t help but smile.
Ning Shu ran into the hole, quickly spit out the flame fruits in her mouth, and stuck out her tongue to breathe.
Ning Shu’s tongue was burnt red, and she couldn’t help but sigh. This world was full of wonders.
Where did that fruit absorb the heat from for it to be that hot?
The moment Ning Shu spat out the flame fruits, the heat radiating from them immediately warmed up the cave.
“What’s this?” Yi Liang looked surprised. Because it was cold, he couldn’t help but approach the fruit.
Ning Shu pushed a flame fruit in front of Yi Liang. Yi Liang glanced at Ning Shu and then picked it up.
