The Body's Instinctive Guidance! Blood Fruit

Instinctive Guidance! Blood Fruit

"Now we could be sure that this was deep within a very primitive forest. Since it was filled with giant beasts of all kinds, it was unsuitable for the Aoyun Star People to settle here."

Based on the information they had seen so far, Talot voiced his analysis.

"We currently knew nothing about Aoyun Planet. The Aoyun Star People did not dare compete with the giant beasts for living space, which showed that these giant beasts were even more dangerous than the Aoyun Star People." All the previous intelligence could be overturned. They now had to uncover things bit by bit on their own.

"Mm. Although we still couldn't be sure whether the Aoyun Star People were as described in the intelligence, we had flown so far without encountering even one. There were only two possibilities.

"First, there were no Aoyun Star People in this forest—or rather, on this continent! Second, perhaps the Aoyun Star People, like us Saiyans, lived together in some part of the planet, while the other regions belonged to the giant beasts' territory."

Talot said.

He finally understood why this invasion mission required them to eliminate every species with a threat index, rather than simply wiping out the Aoyun Star People.

The truly troublesome ones were these massive beasts.

Gine nodded and added from her own perspective, "Perhaps we simply haven't seen enough places. And since we're in the air and flying so quickly, there are many areas covered by dense forest that even the detector can't scan all at once. Or perhaps if we keep going, we'll reach the edge of the forest, and the world outside will be entirely different from this place."

Talot agreed with Gine's words.

After all, intelligent life was completely different from beasts.

"Let's put aside the Aoyun Star People for now. I'm rather curious about what's going on here. Aunt Gine, Selari, both of you be careful. I'll go over and take a look," Talot said.

There had to be a reason for so many giant beasts to be slaughtering each other for no reason!

In such a primitive world, aside from fighting over territory, it would be a conflict between two factions.

But these giant beasts were all different species, and there was clearly no leading beast among them. So there was another possibility: just as Gine had guessed, perhaps they were fighting over something.

"Talot, maybe you shouldn't take the risk." This had happened the moment they arrived on the planet, and they had run right into it. Gine instinctively tried to dissuade him.

"It's fine. Even if these giant beasts all have battle powers of two or three hundred, they can't hurt me. And Aunt Gine, don't forget, my battle power is 1,300! These giant beasts may be huge, but their battle power isn't actually high to me." As Talot spoke, he was about to act when Selari beside him seemed to notice something.

"Brother Talot, Aunt Gine, look over there. Beside that giant serpent and Dreadbeast, there's a strange tree." Selari's words drew Talot and Gine's attention to the other side.

They had focused too much on the slaughter here and instead overlooked the area on the other side, which was littered with corpses.

Amid the pile of mangled, bloody carcasses, a hundred-meter-long white giant serpent and a Dreadbeast dozens of meters tall directly strangled two approaching giant beasts to death.

Farther beyond them stood a fruit tree that was not particularly large.

The forest had been ravaged into a complete mess across this blood-soaked battlefield, yet this fruit tree had not been stained by even a trace of blood or filth.

"Were those two giant beasts protecting this tree?"

There were several strange blood-colored fruits on the fruit tree, emitting wave after wave of radiance beneath the sunlight.

Something valuable? A heavenly treasure?

All sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind.

The world was vast, and all manner of strange things existed.

Fruits capable of making giant beasts fight over them were certainly no ordinary fruits.

"It should be the fruits on that tree that triggered this slaughter." The instant he spoke, Talot shot forward.

Gine did not have time to say anything. Selari pressed close to her side and only managed to call out, "Be careful, Brother Talot."

Descending from high above, drawing closer and closer, more thoughts filled Talot's mind.

Though he was intimately familiar with the Dragon Ball world's plot, he truly knew very little about this world itself.

For example, he knew nothing whatsoever about anything on this planet.

Even Earth and Planet Vegeta—though they seemed familiar to him—how much did he really know beyond what was in the original story?

In the end, he only had a superficial understanding of this world.

"These fruits really are strange. They're actually drawing me toward them too. My body's instincts are telling me to eat them."

Startled inwardly, Talot soon arrived above the fruit tree.

Visible to the naked eye, the blood-colored fruits were actually absorbing the bloody aura from the surroundings, nourishing themselves and becoming plumper.

If there truly were no trace of aura, and the Battle Power Detector had not given any indication, Talot would have suspected that this tree had become a spirit and was alive.

Was it absorbing life energy? So, were you controlling these giant beasts and making them slaughter one another to provide you with nourishment? Or was it the temptation you offered that made these giant beasts fight to the death to obtain you? Filled with suspicion, Talot continued to approach.

At that moment, a vague memory surfaced in his mind.

The Tree of Might! Though compared to the Tree of Might, this tree was insignificant and not worth mentioning.

Still, they were indeed very similar.

Both absorbed life energy. The Tree of Might absorbed nutrients from an entire planet, while this tree absorbed only the life energy of these giant beasts.

"If it's like the Fruit of Might, then these blood-colored fruits might also increase one's strength." Talot's heart began to race.

If that was the case, then he had undoubtedly found a treasure.

However, he still had to be even more careful.

As he drew closer and closer, just as Talot focused all his attention on the blood-colored fruits—

Two sudden roars rang out, and the enormous commotion whipped up howling gale-force winds, forcing Talot to stop advancing.

"Because I was too small before, they didn't notice me. Have they finally spotted me now?" Talot murmured as he looked toward the Giant Serpent and the Dreadbeast. At that moment, the Battle Power Detector automatically registered their battle power levels.

Giant Serpent: 390 points.

Dreadbeast: 380 points.

With battle power below 400, aside from their immense size and intimidating presence, they posed no threat to him whatsoever.

At this moment, the scene was exceptionally terrifying.

Talot was a five-year-old child, only around 1.3 meters tall. Before the Giant Serpent and the Dreadbeast, he was like an ant.

Logically speaking, Talot should have been afraid.

Yet not only was he not the slightest bit afraid, he was actually somewhat excited.

Perhaps the warrior instincts in a Saiyan's blood made it impossible for him to feel even a trace of fear.

Of course, that alone was not enough. The power granted by his own 1,300 battle power also gave Talot confidence.
