Hanging upside down in the air by tough vines, blood rushed to the head, causing dizziness and discomfort.

Hu Qing struggled desperately, twisting his fingers with difficulty in the gaps of the vines, trying to gather a trace of sword energy to cut off the restraints.

But the vines seemed to be alive. The more he struggled, the tighter they wrapped around him. There was even a faint suction force, which made the spiritual power he had just recovered stagnate again.

Xiao Zi on the side was even more frustrated and was about to spit out dragon breath to burn these damn vines.

A flexible vine branch suddenly stretched out as if predicted, accurately wrapping around his dragon kiss and forcibly binding his mouth tightly.

Only a few wisps of unwilling white smoke could escape from the nostrils and the corners of the mouth, making a muffled "wuwu" sound.

Just when Hu Qing thought that Baimu and Connor would not hesitate to use the daggers and short knives in their hands to attack him, the expected attack did not come.

He suppressed the discomfort, twisted his neck hard, and focused his gaze on Bai Mu.

The anger on the face of Elder Baimu, who was furious just now, had disappeared, and was replaced by an extremely pious and even awe-inspiring expression.

He lowered his head slightly, his mouth opening and closing silently, as if he was having a silent communication with some invisible being.

The dagger engraved with ancient patterns in his hand was not raised, but was held tightly in his hand.

Connor on the side also suppressed his excitement and stood respectfully with his hands hanging down, but the dagger in his hand was still trembling slightly due to some unknown emotion, and his eyes were full of confusion and uncertainty.

A moment later, just when Hu Qing and Xiao Zi were completely confused——

The vines wrapped around them suddenly trembled slightly, and the binding force receded quickly like the tide.

The vines were no longer binding them, but like gentle arms, they carefully lowered them from their upside-down position and gently lifted them up, allowing them to stand steadily on the sturdy treetops.

Hu Qing and Xiao Zi staggered, quickly moving their numb limbs, and looked warily at Bai Mu and Connor, whose attitudes had changed 180 degrees.

The piety on Bai Mu's face slowly faded, and his expression became complicated and serious.

He looked at Hu Qing and Xiao Zi deeply, as if he wanted to see something from them.

Finally, he gestured to Connor, who was still in a daze.

Connor shuddered and quickly took out two strange fruits from his arms. They were emitting a golden halo and were almost transparent. They were the so-called "holy fruits" on the plate before.

He walked forward and handed the fruit to Hu Qing and Xiao Zi with a strange look on his face. He said with a somewhat reluctant tone, but he had to say respectfully:

"My lords, just now...just now it was a misunderstanding.

This is the holy fruit bestowed personally by the Lord Tree God. Consider it... consider it as an apology to the two of you."

Hu Qing subconsciously took the fruit.

The fruit is warm and soft to the touch, and emits an indescribable, refreshing fragrance. Just smelling it can lift one's spirits, and the circulation of spiritual energy in the body seems to speed up a bit.

He was a little confused for a moment and had no idea what was going on with this sudden change.

He was shouting about war and killing just now, how come he suddenly calls me "sir" and gives me such a precious gift?

Xiao Zi didn't think so much. He smelled the tempting aroma of the holy fruit, and his ambergris almost flowed into a stream.

The big purple eyes stared at the fruit in Hu Qing's hand, and a longing "gurgle" sound came from his throat.

Hu Qing did not give the fruit to Xiao Zi immediately, as he still had doubts in his heart.

Who knows if this is a trick of the elves? What if the fruit is poisonous?

Seeing Hu Qing's hesitation, Connor seemed a little angry and muttered:

"If you don't want to eat it, give it back to me! This is a treasure that many elves dream of but cannot obtain!

If it weren’t for the Lord Tree God’s instructions…” Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Bai Mu’s light cough.

Elder Baimu's face was calm, and he said calmly, "You two should take it and recover your strength as soon as possible.

If we really wanted to harm you, we could have done it now. Why did we have to do this? After you take the holy fruit, that 'master' will want to see you."

When Hu Qing heard this, his thoughts raced.

What Bai Mu said did make sense. They were completely subdued just now, and it would be easy for the other party to kill them. There was no need to use poisoning.

Moreover, the vitality energy emitted by this holy fruit cannot be faked, and it is indeed a rare treasure.

He no longer hesitated and handed one of the holy fruits to Xiao Zi, who had been unable to wait.

Xiao Zi swallowed the fruit in one gulp without even chewing it.

The sweet and clear juice instantly exploded in his mouth, turning into a warm and huge current that flowed into his abdomen and quickly spread throughout his limbs and bones.

The fatigue and hidden injuries of the past few days were swept away by this warm current, and even the scales became more shiny.

Xiao Zi trembled with pleasure, and the fin spines on her back stood up excitedly. Then, she looked at the last one in Hu Qing's hand again with an unsatisfied look.

Hu Qing tapped his head lightly in annoyance, then carefully brought his holy fruit to his mouth and took a small bite.

Sure enough, the fruit melts in your mouth!

There was no need to swallow at all, the fruit pulp instantly turned into a purer and larger golden warm current, pouring into his throat like a gentle torrent, and instantly spreading to every corner of his body!

An indescribable feeling of comfort swept over me!

The damage from days of retreat, the exhaustion from fighting the insect swarm, and the slight discomfort from being bound by the vines just now were all completely washed away at this moment!

The spiritual power in his dantian grew wildly as if he had taken a tonic, and even caused a slight swelling and pain, forcing him to immediately divert his attention to guide the refining.

The effect of this holy fruit far exceeded his imagination!

Seeing that both of them had taken the holy fruit, Bai Mu said no more, turned around and flew towards the higher branches of the giant tree.

Connor gave them a complicated look and hurried to follow.

Hu Qing suppressed the surging spiritual power in his body and looked at Xiao Zi. They both saw surprise and curiosity in each other's eyes.

Who is this mysterious "adult"?

Why have attitudes changed so quickly?

Why do you want to see them?

Without further hesitation, the two men spread out their bodies and followed Baimu and Connor silently, flying towards the higher part of the giant tree that seemed to lead to the clouds.

The Wanshu Kingdom beneath my feet gradually shrank in my field of vision, like an exquisite miniature model. The night wind whistled in my ears, bringing with it a hint of coolness and an unknown breath.

The road to an audience has begun.
