Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 174 The Joy of Fruit Farmers

The tiny scream came from the snake-faced man's throat, separated by a thick layer of snake skin, Lin Sanjiu almost thought he heard it wrong.She looked up, and saw that the apple protruded into a spherical shape on the snake-faced man's neck. As the spherical shape slid down quickly, the screams became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared in its abdominal cavity.

Lin Sanjiu's forehead was suddenly covered with cold sweat.

The sound just now seemed to have alarmed the other snake-faced people not far away—they looked in this direction, and then moved immediately. Everyone's eyes were narrowed, and they let out an angry low growl while flying fast. He rolled his lower body and moved under the tree where Lin Sanjiu was.

Compared with the others, the snake-faced man who ate the apple just now seemed smaller. Surrounded by several taller snake-faced men, he seemed a little uneasy—it kept nodding its head, and The tail of the snake at one end also raised up, coordinating bit by bit in the air, as if apologizing.

……how?Are these apples not allowed to be eaten casually?

Lin Sanjiu couldn't help thinking of this.She was just about to climb up to take a closer look, but unexpectedly a snake-faced man turned his head without warning and stared at this branch—the yellow eyes, which were about the size of a room, were devoid of emotion, straight A vertical pupil stood on the ground, facing Lin Sanjiu.

Frightened by this, she immediately lay down on the branch, hiding behind a piece of rough protruding bark, hoping that the other party would not find her.

The vertical pupil was slightly taller than her.

Looking out from the cracks in the bark, I saw that piece of cold transparent yellow stopped, so I didn't turn away, I probably didn't find Lin Sanjiu who looked like a little ant.The sound waves belonging to the snake-faced people still came in high and low waves—while Lin Sanjiu was deafened by the shock, he couldn't help but secretly rejoiced.

After a long while, the sound gradually subsided.

Even if you don't understand the language of the snake-faced people, you can see a general idea from their actions: the small snake-faced people who stole food were driven far away to the other side, and they could only rub their hands back and forth, with gloomy eyes , Watching other snake-faced people busily picking apples.

They obviously also have a set of standards for apples: Some are picked, but some are still left on the tree. I don’t know if it’s because they are not ripe enough or big enough—in Lin Sanjiu’s eyes, they are all big. There's no end to it.

After picking the apples from the tree, the snake-faced man was not in a hurry to eat them, but piled them all up on the ground into a small pile, and another snake-faced man counted them one by one, probably counting them.

Seeing the snake-faced man in charge of picking apples swung his tail and swam to another tree, Lin Sanjiu hurriedly ran to the end of the branch with his hands and feet—

On the branch she was on, two apples were well preserved.

Since there were no leaves on the tree, Lin Sanjiu had no shelter, so when he was about to approach the apple, he had no choice but to lie down and crawl forward.The closer she got, the more frightened she was by the special sensuality on the apple's skin.

... The trembling, fleshy apple skin occasionally fluctuates when there is no wind, revealing a few pores, and then disappears.

Lin Sanjiu swallowed his saliva, reached out and touched it lightly.

"Aha!"

A panting sound suddenly sounded out of nowhere, almost causing her to slip—then, a thick and dry weak voice squeezed out of nowhere, "Aha, Ah, save, save..."

Lin Sanjiu stared blankly at the apple in front of him, all the hairs on his body stood upright - at the place where she touched, a few things like blue veins floated up from the skin quickly - accompanied by protruding Qingjin, that voice sounded even hoarse, even men and women could not be distinguished: "... Huha, help..."

No matter how hard the people inside tried, it seemed that they could only utter the word "save".

When the snake-faced man was swimming back and forth, the slight tremor on the ground suddenly stopped——Lin Sanjiu's senses returned to the cage, and he quickly glanced not far away, seeing the mountain-like figure Sure enough, he didn't move, and rushed to the meat apple, and said in a low voice: "If you want to be rescued, shut up!"

Flesh Apple took a few more breaths with a "huhahuha", obviously unwilling to shut up just now—but it seemed that it had exhausted its strength, and it still couldn't make any sound after all.

Feeling the ground tremble again, Lin Sanjiu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is there someone trapped inside?" She said to herself, her voice was so low that she could hardly hear herself. "But the apple looks solid..."

Would you like to cut open the apple?

She thought a little hesitantly.

Just when Lin Sanjiu was a little uncertain, she suddenly felt her body light up.

...She has always been careful, even if there are no leaves to cover her, Lin Sanjiu always stands behind another apple, hiding herself in the shadows.But at this moment, the huge shadow cast by that apple suddenly lifted, and the light instantly enveloped her whole body.

Someone took the apple away.

She turned her head foolishly, and met a tall vertical pupil.

... This time, the snake-faced man must have seen her, right?

Lin Sanjiu suppressed his desire to scream, and slowly took a step back, not daring to take his eyes off the vertical pupil for a moment.

After walking a few steps, the vertical pupil didn't move with her movement - it was still facing the direction of the two apples, as if looking for the source of the sound just now.

She couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly retreated to the depths of the branches.

... If he managed to escape this time, Lin Sanjiu vowed that he would wait until the snake-faced man left before coming out.

However, things are not as expected.

The apple, which still had a few blue veins, suddenly fluctuated again at this time—the skin-like skin trembled a few times quickly, and after the shape of several muscles bulged on the apple, the voice screamed again with all its strength, This time, it yelled more content: "Ahh... come save me... liar, liar... I'm in so much pain..."

Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat, and he cried out.

Apparently the fleshy apples are invisible!
The snake-faced man was standing next to the apple at this time, and it immediately caught the sound—the long five toes curled and stretched in the air, and with a bang, the screaming fleshy apple was pulled away. down.

The fleshy apple let out a chilling cry of pain, as if it also realized that it had fallen into the hands of a creature on the upper level of the food chain. I... there was another person here just now, she—"

It finally became fluent, and before it could finish a sentence, it just clicked, and it was broken into two in the hands of the snake-faced man, and there was no sound at all.

Lin Sanjiu felt a nerve jump in her as if it had been cut off—she covered her mouth, not daring to move, a sense of long-lost fear surged in her heart.

From where she was, it was actually not clear what was inside the fleshy apple.The dripping "juice" dripped down the snake-faced man's hand and fell to the ground, which attracted her attention—the unique deep red of human blood was mixed with pieces of meat, which seemed to have just come from Falling from the apple.

The status of this snake-faced man seems to be far higher than that of the little snake-faced man just now; even if he opened an apple casually, the snake-faced men around him just looked up at it and said nothing .

It licked half of the apple in its hand, and its slender and forked tongue was like a spatula, and the fleshy apple was cut short in an instant.

After taking a bite of the fruit, the snake-faced man tilted his head, staring at the apple in his hand, not knowing what to say.The snake-faced man with the ball of light in his hand hastily approached, hissed a few words, and greeted the one who was eating the apple away.

Seeing that they were all gone, Lin Sanjiu let out a heavy breath.

After the scene just now, she didn't dare to rush out again; fortunately, the bark of the tree was uneven, so it was not difficult to find a recess to hide in.

"Just hang around until they leave..."

Lin Sanjiu thought silently.

The action of the snake-faced man harvesting apples did not last long - many fleshy apples were obviously not yet ready for harvest, the snake-faced man left them on the branches and left with a bunch of picked ones.

As the snake-faced man walked away cleanly, the light also disappeared.The darkness seemed to suddenly remember this lost ground, and came back in one fell swoop, covering up this space again so that no five fingers could be seen.

Lin Sanjiu huddled in the groove of the bark, and waited for a long time, until she confirmed that there was no more sound around her, and then carefully got out.

The bright light of [Ability Polishing Agent] can only shine a distance of four or five meters; on such a giant tree, such a dim light is only slightly better than nothing.After walking a few empty branches, Lin Sanjiu also became anxious—at least she had to figure out what was going on with the fleshy apple before she really thought about what to do next, right?
Speeding up her pace, she walked through two small branches again, and finally in the corner of the silver light, she saw half a blurred shadow of an apple in the distance.

"It can be regarded as found..." Lin Sanjiu rushed over and said to himself: "This should be quieter!"

Just after she finished her sentence, a hissing sound suddenly sounded out of nowhere, piercing the darkness like thunder.

"Sure enough...that apple didn't lie..."

It seems that Lin Sanjiu is not yet proficient in this way of speaking, and every word Lin Sanjiu is familiar with is mixed with jerky and strange hissing.She couldn't stop the trembling of her hands, and managed to lift up the violently shaking silver light, and saw the speaker's face clearly in the light.

The big mouth that was deeply split was embedded in the face of the little snake-faced man, as if to express that he was very satisfied at the moment.

"Here...really...someone."
