Gua Yan, who was exposed, flew listlessly beside Xi Mian, feeling extremely lost and sad. Since Xi Mian knew the truth about him being a male orc, he no longer allowed him to get close to him, which made Gua Yan very sad.

"Lord City Lord! We found the wild fruits here yesterday!" Xi Mian brought Cheng Mo to the place where they found the wild fruits yesterday. Cheng Mo looked up at the big tree in front of him, and saw that it was lush and leafy. The pink fruits were faintly visible between the branches and leaves as the breeze blew. If you don't look carefully, it's hard to find them. Cheng Mo couldn't help but wonder, how did they find these wild fruits that were hidden so deeply yesterday?

At this time, Banmu took two steps back, then sprinted forward and leaped onto the tree trunk. He pushed aside the leaves that blocked his view and quickly found the fruits hidden among them. Then, he reached out and picked a bunch of heavy fruits, jumped down from the tree lightly, and handed the fruit in his hand to Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo took the bunch of pink fruits and examined them carefully. These crystal clear fruits looked like gems, and they looked even more plump and attractive under the bright sunshine, and the seeds inside were clearly visible. Cheng Mo picked a fruit and squeezed it a little harder. With a "pop" sound, the fruit burst instantly, and pink juice splashed out, covering his palm.

The familiar fragrance made Cheng Mo more certain that this was the grape he knew, but why was the color so pink?

Cheng Mo circled the tree a few more times, becoming more and more curious. He wanted to climb up the tree to find out what was going on, but when he saw Ban Mu staring at him nervously, he gave up the idea - after all, he didn't want to be nagged by Ban Mu for so long like last time. Last time, there was no one around, and he could use kisses to get rid of Ban Mu's nagging, but that wouldn't work this time.

"Banmu, why don't you go up and take a look to see if there are any signs that the fruits have been pecked by birds or beasts?" Cheng Mo raised his hand and pointed at the tempting fruits above his head.

Banmu nodded, then climbed up the tree with ease. He searched among the lush branches and leaves, but could not find any signs that the food had been eaten by birds or animals.

"Xiao Mo, I didn't find it!" Ban Mu stood on the treetop and shook his head at Cheng Mo under the tree.

"How is this possible?" Cheng Mo stared at the fruit in his hand with suspicion, thinking to himself: Could it be that these fruits are poisonous, so that even birds and animals dare not touch them?

"Banmu, could you please confirm for me where these fruits are growing? Are they hanging on branches or entangled on vines?" Cheng Mo shouted loudly while standing under the tree.

Upon hearing this, Banmu immediately moved closer to the fruits and observed them carefully. He saw that their roots seemed to be connected to something...

Banmu stretched out his hand and gently touched the tree trunk. He felt a strange touch between his fingers - there seemed to be a rope-like object wrapped around it.

He couldn't help but squint his eyes, trying to see more clearly. However, the dense leaves were like a huge parasol, blocking most of the sunlight and making his vision blurry. Despite this, Banmu was very sure in his heart: these fruits definitely did not grow directly on the tree trunks.

"Xiao Mo, they look like some kind of vines, but I can't see clearly what they are!" Ban Mu turned his head and shouted at Cheng Mo under the tree.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Mo's eyes suddenly lit up. This was increasingly similar to the growth habits of the grapes he was familiar with. If that was the case, the next step would be to confirm whether these fruits were edible.

After a little thought, Cheng Mo looked at the fruit in his hand and came up with an idea: since the birds and beasts don't come to eat it, then set a trap to lure them to eat it!

So, Cheng Mo put the fruit in his hand on an open space not far from them, and then pulled Banmu, who had just climbed down from the tree, to hide behind the tree.

"Xi Mian, come here quickly, don't let the birds find us!" Cheng Mo lowered his voice, pulling Ban Mu to squat down, while nervously looking ahead. Xi Mian squatted down curiously with the basket on his back, and the three of them squatted behind the tree, waiting for birds and beasts to come and eat the fruits.

After waiting for a while, a small and exquisite sparrow landed lightly on the open ground. It looked around carefully, its eyes full of vigilance, as if it was suspicious of the unfamiliar environment around it. Then, it approached the neatly arranged fruits hesitantly, hopped a few steps, and tilted its head curiously to examine these colorful fruits.

This little sparrow was obviously born not long ago, and its tender body had not yet shed its soft down. Although the air was filled with the tempting aroma of fruit, it did not impulsively pounce on the food, but cautiously jumped around for a long time. After careful observation and testing, and after confirming that it was safe, it finally mustered up the courage to jump to the side of the fruit and pecked at it bit by bit with its small beak.

Cheng Mo was so nervous that he held his breath, staring at the little sparrow enjoying the food. When most of the fruit was pecked away, the little sparrow still showed no abnormal behavior. Perhaps it was full, the little sparrow stopped eating, stood leisurely beside the fruit, flapping its wings and preening its feathers.

Cheng Mo waited patiently for a while, and seeing that the little sparrow was still safe and sound, he boldly announced: "These fruits are not poisonous and can be eaten with confidence! Let's pick some more to take back!" As soon as he finished speaking, everyone took action and began to pick the fruits happily.

The whole tree was covered with fruits. Perhaps because the leaves were too lush and dense, few birds or animals could find these fruits, so several people picked a whole basket full of them. Finally, they let Ximian carry the grapes back first, while Cheng Mo and Banmu continued to wander around the collection area. Guayan didn't want to be a light bulb for Cheng Mo and Banmu, so he flapped his wings and followed Ximian back.

The gathering area is close to the city, and there are always orcs threatening each other, so apart from female orcs coming here to gather food, there are very few male orcs. Cheng Mo and Ban Mu wandered around the gathering area for most of the day, and apart from a gathering team, they didn't meet any other people. Those people were also very tactful and didn't join Cheng Mo and Ban Mu's time together. They just said hello and left.

Banmu was very satisfied. He liked being with Cheng Mo! When two people were together, they could just work without talking!

Cheng Mo didn't bring a bamboo basket when he came out. He picked up any food he saw on the road and held it in his hands. The two of them just strolled around and found a lot of food. Cheng Mo and Ban Mu's four hands were full.

When Cheng Mo was about to pull Ban Mu back, Ban Mu suddenly threw away the things in his hand, pulled Cheng Mo and jumped onto the tree. Cheng Mo looked at Ban Mu in confusion and was about to ask, but Ban Mu had already foresightedly covered Cheng Mo's mouth with his hand.
