Chapter 8.1 (1/2)

What Lin Nuo Yi had claimed the other day was real. Red fruits born on the clumps of ordinary gra.s.s and were emitting an appealing fragrance.

Chu Feng’s heart was unable to calm down, his thoughts were racing.

This world had became different. It was impossible to understand what had happened!

Chu Feng’s heart was still throbbing. This change had people sitting on the edge. Soo many peculiar events had taken place – none of which, were explainable.

“Is this edible?”

Chou Quan was a very careless person. Breathing in the fruit’s fragrance, he was tempted to take a bite out of it. Even given the circ.u.mstances, he was still in the mood to eat!

“Go ahead and try it.”

“Oh no, I dare not. Who knows if it’s  poisonous! Clumps of ordinary gra.s.s bearing a bright red fruit, that’s like meeting a ghost!” Fatty Chou shook his head.

Still, he swallowed his saliva because the fruit was so enticing. Its fragrance was stronger than any other ordinary fruits he had ever encountered.

But what puzzled Chu Feng was that – this fruit had a s.h.i.+ny surface, like a red onyx. It looked very appealing. But how could ordinary gra.s.s bare such a fruit?

The people on the train were similarly mesmerized by it, however they weren’t shocked. It was because of the many strange events that had occurred in the past few days – especially that ancient Ginkgo tree up ahead, it terrified the people.

How gra.s.s could bare such an alluring fruit was unbelievable, but it didn’t make people terrified.

On the other hand ,that enormous ancient tree ahead did. Some were sure that it would turn into an evil creature and wreak havoc.

“We should get out of here now. I don’t feel safe.” a middle-aged man said, his face was pale and he had not left his seat to go out of his compartment to see any of the happenings.

However, after the train had stopped, it made no move to depart again.

Time ticked on, and half an hour pa.s.sed. Chu Feng  got out from the carriage and peered out from the observation deck.

That ancient tree was enormous. It was bigger than any ordinary mountain, its branches and leaves were so numerous in number that it covered the entire town. It would be impossible to move this tree even if they had wanted to.

“Come see, what we’ve got!”

Up ahead, a few people were approaching. Some carried a leaf as big as a bansho fan – it belonged to the tree. The sheer size of it made people gasp in surprise.

There was also a young man who carried a fruit as big as a basin. He was puffing and wheezing as he was carrying it. That was the fruit of the Ginkgo tree. It was pale yellow in colour.

“You guys plucked it from the tree?”

“That would be impossible, we picked it up from there.”

They pointed in the distance ahead.

The ginkgo tree was colossal and its branches reached to where they were. The ground had fallen leaves and fruits.

“At the moment, there are many who wish to leave right away. All of them are very anxious.” someone said.

“The train has stopped moving for quite some time. I want to know if the front had encountered any misfortunes, this is not the first time it has.”

Some couldn’t wait to start moving again and were fi

dgeting in their seats.
