Chapter 234: Mark (a) (2/2)

It took a couple of seconds for the fruits to grow to the size of a fist. They looked like apples, red and enticing. On top of that, twelve dusty clouds were swirling around them, making them appear esoteric. A sweet aroma filled the cave. As Lucy and Grace inhaled it, their mouths immediately watered, and a small amount of saliva leaked out of the corner of their lips.

”Haha.”

Elliot laughed. He couldn't help it. The expression on their faces was too ridiculous.

”Do you know what kind of spiritual fruit is this? What effect does it have? Does it improve supernatural cells' quality, make one more robust, or increase their magic capacity?” Lucy asked while looking at Grace.

Since Grace had lived in this forest for more than three thousand years, Lucy thought that she would know about just everything.

However, she was wrong.

”I don't know,” Grace replied, an honest expression on her cute little face.

Grace was a member of the nightmare zone. At best, she had only stayed in the eternal snow zone for a few months. The only time Grace came to this place was to attend a council meeting that the spirit beasts hold every hundred years. Only after a thousand years, she had called it quits and retired. So after that, she had never come to this zone. This place had undergone many changed, and many new spiritual fruits had appeared. This spiritual fruit belonged to the new era. So, of course, she failed to realize it.

”Ah, I guess we will need to search for ancient records in the deeper parts of the settlement, and maybe we will find information about these fruits, like whether they are safe to consume or not.”

Lucy felt tempted, and she wanted to eat at least one of the four fruits. However, Jennifer Love had warned her not to eat anything strange or unknown as it could be poisonous or harmful. That's why she stayed her hand.

”I can try eating one and test what kind of spiritual fruit it is.”

”No! It might not be safe for you either.”

”Since the devil bull cultivated it, it might be safe for spirit beast's consumption.”

”Still, we should try for a better method.”

”Believe me. Nothing wrong will happen to me.”

Grace so wanted to eat the spiritual fruit that she didn't mind acting out the role of a lab rat. Lucy didn't want to see her getting hurt. Her small form was so cute that Lucy was charmed, and her maternal feelings wanted to keep Grace away from harm! Grace, though, was adamant about eating it.

”Ahem.” Elliot, who was silent for a while as he was busy inspecting the fruit and gaining information about them, cleared his throat. ”I know what these fruits are.”
