Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 109 Thunder Fruit

Hearing this, Xie Batian also frowned. After thinking for a moment, he said, "So what are you going to do? Are you going to continue the deal with him?"

"It's okay. All transactions are conducted through the trading house anyway, and the situation of our tribe will not be disclosed at all. I am also very interested in his Thunder Fruit." Meng Zheng smiled slightly and comforted Xie Batian.

After hearing this, Xie Batian nodded, but still said with some concern: "Although this is the deal, this person is cunning and we have to be on guard. You still have to be more careful to avoid being plotted against by him."

Meng Zheng smiled and patted Crab Batian's claws. "Don't worry, Batian. I know what I'm doing," he said. "Besides, this deal will also benefit our tribe. If Hong Lei's strength can be increased, it will greatly benefit both our defense and offense."

As he was speaking, Jiang Bin had already come to Meng Zheng with two big bubbles, which meant two hundred tons of meat.

The Canghai tribe's food storage is all placed in these bubbles, which are vacuum-dried, so the food can be stored for a very long time.

This means that the film maker apprentice needs to cast spells from time to time to prevent the bubbles from bursting.

After checking the quality of the meat, Meng Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and then instructed Jiang Bin to transmit the meat to the other party through the teleportation array of the trading house.

On the other side, a huge black fish wrapped in lightning was lying at the door of a small house, looking at the tiny display screen in front of it.

At this time, the Lord of Thunder kept trying to strike the display screen with lightning, trying to trigger new content.

At the same time, they are also busy preparing the Thunder Fruit.

He knew very well the importance of this transaction to their tribe, so he did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

Not long after, another big black fish swam over with three purple-red fruits in its mouth. If you didn't pay attention, you could clearly see that the fruits would flash a few tiny lights from time to time, shooting out from the corners of the big black fish's mouth.

"Chief, we have brought the Thunder Fruit." The big black fish next to the Lord of Thunder said in a muffled voice.

The Lord of Thunder turned his head and looked at the Thunder Fruit in the mouth of the big black fish beside him. He spit out a string of lightning in the shape of tree branches from his mouth. He took the Thunder Fruit, checked it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he nodded dejectedly.

"How is the tribe?" the Lord of Thunder asked the Big Black Fish.

Big Black Fish lowered his head, a hint of worry in his voice: "Chief, the situation in the tribe is still not good. Those monsters are becoming more and more rampant. Although our warriors are brave, we have suffered too many casualties in the last siege. This time, they are blocked by the gate. We are outnumbered and powerful, and we have lost many people."

Upon hearing this, the Thunder Lord's eyes flashed with ruthlessness: "These damn monsters, I will definitely find their source and completely destroy them!"

He paused, then asked, "How long can the food reserves last?"

The big black fish was silent for a moment before answering, "If we continue to consume at this rate, I'm afraid we won't last more than half a month."

The Lord of Thunder frowned, feeling secretly anxious.

If the monster problem is not solved quickly, their tribe may really face a catastrophe.

He looked at the thunder fruit in front of him and thought to himself, "These thunder fruits were obtained by the Son of the Ocean in exchange for food. This Son of the Ocean must have a lot of food. This might be a good opportunity to escape."

Thinking of this, he raised his head and said to the big black fish, "Go tell the tribesmen to hold on a little longer. I have found food. Don't panic. At the same time, strengthen vigilance to prevent those monsters from attacking at night."

When the big black fish heard the words of the patriarch, it nodded happily, turned around and swam away.

The Lord of Thunder continued to strike the display screen with lightning, sending a new message, reminding Meng Zheng that he had prepared the Thunder Fruit and could trade it at any time.

At the same time, keep striking the display screen with lightning to see if it can trigger any new information or clues.

However, the display still only showed those simple chat records, with no further content for him to explore.

The Lord of Thunder was a little disappointed, but he did not give up.

At this moment, news came from the trading house. Meng Zheng replied that two hundred tons of meat had been delivered. Upon hearing this, the Thunder Lord was delighted and immediately placed the Thunder Fruit on the trading house's teleportation array.

This teleportation array was automatically generated by the system after the trading center was built. It has system limitations and cannot be studied or controlled at all.

On Meng Zheng's side, as the teleportation array flashed white light, three fruits flashing with electric sparks appeared before his eyes.

With the end of this wave of transactions, the hourglass in the upper left corner was completely emptied, and the chat interface of the Lord of Thunder also disappeared.

It turned into a radar scan pattern again and no operation could be performed.

"It seems that this trading place cannot be used for casual transactions and chatting. There are significant restrictions!" Meng Zheng looked at the display screen in front of him and said to himself.

On the other side, Crab Overlord saw that Meng Zheng was always staring at the chat box and didn't take the Thunder Fruit. He couldn't help it and directly picked up one with his big claws and observed it carefully.

She had never seen such a magical fruit before, it was really interesting.

Meng Zheng was awakened by Xie Batian's actions and smiled helplessly.

He waved his hand and shot out a stream of water, which also rolled a thunder fruit in front of him. Considering his current body size, this fruit was very small, about the size of a normal apple.

However, with careful sensing, one can clearly sense the thunder-attributed spiritual power contained within the fruit, as well as the faint vibrations it brings, as if there is lightning wandering inside it.

"Is this the Thunder Fruit? It is indeed extraordinary." Meng Zheng exclaimed.

Xie Batian also nodded in agreement: "This fruit is definitely a great tonic for Hong Lei."

Meng Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Give one to Hong Lei first and let him try out the effects. If the effect is good, then we can consider buying more from the Lord of Thunder."

Upon hearing this, Crab Batian had no objection.

After all, Hong Lei's increased strength is a good thing for the entire tribe.

So, Meng Zheng sent a Thunder Fruit to Hong Lei.

When Hong Lei saw this magical fruit, excitement appeared in his eyes.

He looked carefully at the fruit floating in front of him, then swallowed it in one gulp.

As the Thunder Fruit entered his stomach, a strong flash of lightning immediately burst out from Hong Lei's body.

He looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, as if venting the power in his body.

Meng Zheng and Xie Batian both watched the changes in Hong Lei quietly.

The lightning on Hong Lei's body became stronger and stronger, and his body was shaking constantly.

After a long while, the thunder stopped changing.

He opened his eyes, which gleamed with excitement, and uttered a long groan to Meng Zheng, asking for more Thunder Fruits.

Hearing this, Meng Zheng also revealed a satisfied smile: "Don't worry, how much strength can one fruit increase for you?"

Meng Zheng smiled, his eyes revealing his expectation for Hong Lei's strength improvement.

He said slowly, "Let's test it first to see how much benefit this Thunder Fruit brings you. After all, only by understanding its effects can we better plan its subsequent use."
