49: A thousand-year-old fruit tree, and a strange airplane!

【Hahaha! Too cowardly!】

【They can't afford to take this responsibility. If something really happens, all of them combined wouldn't be enough to pay for it!】

【I bet Zhang Dada wishes he could tear Kun Kun apart and feed him to the dogs. He was the one stirring up trouble earlier, and now that something has happened, he just tossed Zhang Dada out to face it. Hahaha!!】

【Backstab! This is definitely a backstab!!】

【Kun Kun isn't wrong! What if Ye Bai points out the wrong path? Can he be held responsible for my Kun Kun's life?】

【Don't be heartless. Hasn't Brother Ye Bai been responsible for your Kun Kun this whole way? Without Brother Ye Bai, your Kun Kun would have already been fed to the Python!】

Seeing Zhang Dada and Cai Xukun looking for trouble and then ending up looking so dejected really cracked the fans up.

The boat glided slowly forward. An hour later.

Wu Jing was covered in sweat, and he noticed red fruits floating in the water.

"There are fruit trees in here?"

Hua Chenyu sat at the bow of the boat and happened to notice a red fruit drifting by in the water.

It didn't look like an apple; in short, it was hard to describe the appearance of this red fruit.

"What kind of fruit is this? It's my first time seeing a fruit like this."

Huang Zitao also noticed the red fruit in the water; it was also his first time seeing such a fruit.

"It's not just your first time seeing such a fruit; you're also about to see a different kind of fruit tree..."

Just as Huang Zitao was looking at the red fruit in the water, Cai Xukun spoke up from the side.

"Huh?" Huang Zitao was stunned. He turned to look straight ahead and saw a massive fruit tree appearing before them. The trunk was extremely thick—it would take at least a dozen people to wrap their arms around it.

The ten people on the boat stared at the giant tree in shock.

The giant tree was covered in many wild fruits, each one bright red, looking like red lanterns. At a glance, it actually looked quite festive.

"Wow! What a huge tree!"

Yang Chaoyue looked up at the giant tree. It was at least several dozen meters tall, and the trunk was much thicker than a normal tree.

"Setting aside how thick the tree is, looking at the growth rings, it must be at least a millennium old. Otherwise, it wouldn't have grown so big and thick!"

Yang Mi's eyes were filled with shock, and she whispered in a daze.

This Forbidden Ground is truly magical; the trees are even bigger and thicker than those in the outside world.

Wu Jing was also shocked, sucking in a cold breath. He stared at the entire appearance of the giant tree from top to bottom in astonishment.

As he looked at the red fruit, his stomach rumbled at the wrong time. Thinking about it, he hadn't eaten anything since this morning.

He had been rowing the boat all morning, and by now, he was starving.

"Let's rest for a while."

Wu Jing placed the oar in the boat and took out the food prepared by the production team.

Yang Mi and Reba knew that Wu Jing had worked hard all morning. Reba took some other things out of her suitcase to give to him, which was better than eating those dry compressed rations.

Wu Jing had eaten several meals of dry rations and really couldn't swallow them anymore. Seeing Reba offering food, he certainly wouldn't refuse.

Zhang Dada and Cai Xukun's group of four first looked at the food in Reba's suitcase, then at the compressed rations in their hands, unable to help but swallow their saliva. They knew in their hearts that Reba wouldn't give them any.

Finally, they turned to look at the giant tree behind them. The fruit looked really appetizing and seemed very juicy...

"Can this fruit be eaten?"

Huang Zitao spoke up first.

"It's better not to eat unknown things. After all, this is a new species. If it turns out to be poisonous, that would be troublesome."

Wu Jing spoke up proactively after hearing their conversation.

"We can't eat it?"

"What a pity!"

Cai Xukun and Zhang Dada looked at the apples in the water with some disappointment. Seeing that they couldn't eat them, they couldn't help but feel a bit agitated.

Squeak—

Just as everyone was eating there, they heard the sound of metal clanking.

"Huh? What is that sound? It sounds like metal plates rubbing against each other?"

After eating some food, Yang Mi frowned.

"Metal plates? How could there be metal plates? How could there be metal plates in this wilderness? You must have misheard."

Bai Lu also heard the sound, but she didn't quite believe her ears; it was impossible for metal plates to appear here.

"I also heard what sounded like metal plates rubbing together."

As Yang Chaoyue spoke, she glanced in the direction of the sound. She noticed that on the side of the giant tree, there were dense, lush trees, but their shape was very strange, as if they were wrapping something up.

"What is this? Why does this tree look like a ball? The sound seems to be coming from there."

Yang Chaoyue said suspiciously.

Everyone followed her gaze and happened to notice the tree trunk that looked like a ball.

"Let's go take a look."

Wu Jing, having just finished eating, took the oar and moved toward the trunk.

And when Ye Bai saw this trunk, his brows furrowed slightly.

As the boat approached the giant tree, everyone could see its full appearance.

There were signs on the trunk that it had been broken by something, and new branches had grown later, but the form was somewhat strange and bizarre.

"There seems to be something on this tree trunk!"

Reba looked carefully and discovered that there seemed to be something black inside the tree.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was surprised. What could be inside the tree?

Their gazes were all observing the giant tree.

The Cameraman was very professional and focused the camera on the giant tree, allowing the netizens to see it more clearly.

【Oh my god! There's something inside this giant tree? That looks like an iron ball, right?】

【What iron ball? Look closely at what that is. When I came just now, I noticed a strange shape. It's not a round sphere; it looks more like a rectangle.】

【Rectangle? I think it looks like a coffin...】

【Nonsense! How could there be a coffin here? Whose coffin would be placed here? This is the middle of nowhere. Besides! I heard the sound earlier, it sounded like metal rubbing, what kind of coffin is made of iron?】

【This is so mind-bending!】

When the fans saw this scene, they felt their brains couldn't keep up, and they even felt it was very eerie.

A single giant tree gave people a terrifying visual sensation.

Inside the Forbidden Ground.

Squeak, squeak, squeak...

The metal object in the middle made a sound again, and a few branches snapped along with the noise.

Snap!

The branches fell into the water, and only then did everyone see clearly what was wrapped inside the giant tree.

Wu Jing, Yang Mi, and their group's eyes widened immediately.

"An airplane? It's actually an airplane wrapped inside here?"

Cai Xukun exclaimed, never having expected this result.

"How could there be an airplane here? Did it crash? Did it happen to fall down here?"
