Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton Chapter 1402

Chapter 1402: Chapter 963 Sudden Stand Up Chapter 1402: Chapter 963 Sudden Stand Up Seeing this scene, four nearby fellows reacted. The first was naturally Ange, who couldn't stand seeing food wasted.

Although the two Mourning Undead Soldiers had picked but didn't eat the fruit, as Undead they feed on the breath of death, and even throwing it away cannot be considered waste, not to mention they didn't throw away the fruit at all, so normally Ange would not react, but this kind of waste and spitting it out everywhere?

However, as soon as he was about to react, he was hugged by Negris, very familiar with his temper: “Deadman's Fruit is indeed poisonous to the living, it's not considered waste, and it's not okay to beat someone up over this kind of thing.”

In addition to them, two other Mourning Undead Soldiers also moved; the one on guard on the airship hesitated a step forward and then retracted.

Another Mourning Undead Soldier flew straight over, grabbed the fruit that Bess had bitten, pretended to smell it, then shook his head.

Although he didn't speak, having been around for a long time, Bess could somewhat understand the body language of these Undead Soldiers, and with a big tongue she said, “No poison? But why do I feel my mouth going numb?”

The Mourning Undead Soldier glanced at her tongue and still shook his head.

Eve came over and spoke timidly, “Could it be from Sichuan peppercorn?”

Bess spat out, “Ah, it seems fine now, could it really be some kind of spice like Sichuan peppercorn?” She exclaimed in surprise, “Why does it look like a fruit? Hmph, deceptive thing.”

As she muttered, Bess pulled Eve away to see if they could find tastier fruit.

The two Mourning Undead Soldiers and Negris all breathed a sigh of relief. The Undead Soldier flying over picked up the Deadman's Fruit that had a bite taken and gently rubbed it. The pure breath of death attached to it had already been absorbed by him. The remaining Deadman's Fruit was crushed, the flesh discarded, and the seeds collected.

“Uh, he took the seeds. What should we do? Should we snatch them back?” silver coin asked.

Ange shook his head, and Negris commented, “No need. The seeds handled by Ange probably won't sprout without the World Tree's blessing.”

The current Tree of the Dead is not Lise's original plant but a new variety bred and refined by Ange. If desired, they can be cultivated to only germinate with a blessing.

“That's good, but his actions are hidden from those humans, it seems like the two Mourning Undead Soldiers and these Human Mages don't have a great relationship, feeling a bit unwilling,” silver coin remarked.

Such unwilling behavior; the Monarch knew it too well: “Isn't it obvious? Just like Nagri back then, unwilling and hesitating, just needs a beating, probably because their king ordered them to protect these humans, and since they don't have a subordinate relationship with these humans, they act like this.”

Indeed very similar, the two Mourning Undead Soldiers just ensure safety, it seems these humans can't even cook their food properly, yet they didn't offer any help.

Bess and Eve came back with some edible fruit. The two male Mages also used dry food to boil water, creating a mushy pot of food. Four people gathered around one table, eating the fruit with the mush, savouring with delight.

While eating, Bess suddenly burst into tears: “Huo Man, let's buy a cook, I can't keep eating this for another four or five months, I'll die.”

“Alright, alright, I'll buy a few Maids to serve you two, how about that?” the older Male Mage Huo Man kept coaxing.

“No, there's no room on the Airship, just buying a cook will do. I can manage myself with effort, but together we can't cook a single pot of food properly.” Bess said.

The space on the airship was too limited, it could fit another cook, but Maids really won't fit: “I should have brought out that big luxurious airship from home.”

“We could buy a bigger airship though,” Eve suggested.

Indeed, he is the descendant of a great noble, buying an airship worth hundreds of thousands of Demon Crystals on a whim, and even wanting a large one; that would cost over a million Demon Crystals to settle.

Huo Man spread his hands: “I didn't bring that much money, this place isn't part of the Alliance, our cards won't work here.”

It's not that they didn't have money, or didn't bring money, but that they didn't bring that much money.

After discussing for a while, they realized that 'buying a cook' was the only feasible plan.

Bess bit into a jujube fiercely and said, “Buy someone who cooks well, but make sure they're ugly, so you guys won't be tempted.”

“How can that be? A cook, what is there for us to be tempted by? Are we those kind of people?” Huo Man defensively shouted.

“Pah, maybe you weren't before, but now you are. It's not safe, even with ugly ones, let's buy a man, to prevent you from secretly sleeping with them.”

“A man is even more out of the question, what if you secretly sleep with them?” Huo Man joked.

After discussing such taboo topics as secret liaisons for a while, Bess said somewhat annoyed: “Had I known it was this far, I wouldn't have come. We flew for four months, just to come and see a drifting fortress? What's the use?”

Eve said, “It's a fortress that drifted out from the Boundless Space Hole.”

Huo Man spread his hands: “Right, the Boundless Space Hole is the focus, not the fortress. Since historical records exist, the Boundless Space Hole has always been an empty void with not even the most basic Dark Element, lacking the fundamental elements for life to emerge. Why would a Void Fortress fly out from there? Could it have crossed from the other side of the hole?”

“Moreover, it emits light. What does light signify? The dispersal of energy, it is actively flying forward, not just drifting inertially. Aren't you curious what's inside the fortress?” Huo Man asked.

“Of course I'm curious, otherwise why would I have come all this way with you? Because I have too much free time? But what's the use?” Bess asked.

Huo Man took a deep breath, his expression becoming solemn, “I don't know what use it is, but I know, if the creatures inside the fortress are enemies, then we should quickly flee, if it could traverse the Boundless Space Hole to get here, its strength is definitely beyond what we can defeat.”

“Really? My dad said, the Alliance council is planning to assemble an army to enter the Boundless Space Hole to intercept it, taking advantage of the fact that it has flown this far and depleted so much energy, to capture it in one fell swoop,” Bess said.

“That's also a method, hope the council succeeds,” Huo Man said.

Eve suddenly said, “I remember in the barbaric stone carvings, there's a carving from half a million years ago, it depicted the Boundless Space Hole, just a pitch-black circle, with only a solitary point of light.”

Huo Man shook his head, “The barbaric stone carvings are all piecemeal discoveries, not systematic, who knows what it's depicting? And the determination of dates is not necessarily accurate, why say that the carvings are half a million years old? Obviously, stones have existed since the creation of the world, couldn't they have been carved at the creation?”

Eve opened her mouth but didn't say anything, Huo Man's words touched on some academic disputes, he didn't agree with this method of dating, continuing would only turn into a debate.

Everyone switched topics and chatted about many things, finishing up the mush and fruit, then they returned to the airship.

The airship slowly ascended, took a big turn, heading towards the Land of Shattering, probably to buy a cook.

As the airship disappeared into the darkness, just as everyone was about to come out, they were held back by Ange and the Monarch.

Suddenly, a Mourning Undead Soldier returned, heading straight for the area filled with Deadman's Fruit, reaching out to pick the fruit. After a few attempts, perhaps finding it troublesome, it simply grabbed the Tree of the Dead, uprooting it entirely.

Ange abruptly stood up, the Monarch abruptly stood up, all of the Nagri silver coins abruptly stood up.
