Han Sen tried many different methods, but he was unable to remove the crystal shoe. It was like the shoe was attached to his foot, and he couldn't get it off no matter how hard he tried.
During this time, a gerbil managed to break through Yingguang Lake and reach the island.
The island wasn't big, and it was only about two hundred square meters. It was like a steamed bun had fallen into the lake, and there was a lone fruit tree growing on it.
The fruit tree wasn't very big, and it was about the same size as an ordinary pear tree. It was only a few meters tall, but it wasn't as full of fruit as a normal pear tree. Han Sen wasn't sure if the fruit had already been picked, or if that was all there was to it. On the big fruit tree, there were only three pears.
One of the pears was green, one was red, and one was yellow.
There were three pears on a fruit tree, but they looked very different. It was hard for people to understand.
If the green pear wasn't ripe, then which of the red pears and the yellow pears meant they were ripe?
"Let's go to the island first." Han Sen saw that he couldn't remove the crystal shoe, so he let Little Star fly to the island first.
He didn't panic. If Super Emperor Spirit had a certain effect on the shoe, then he could take it slow. There was no need to rush.
If worst came to worst, he'd just cut off his foot. With Han Sen's fitness and Little Silver's healing abilities, he could quickly regenerate his foot.
When Little Xingxing flew to the island, it was already too late. The gerbil that luckily rushed to the island had already climbed to the top of the fruit tree and bit the yellow pear.
The pear wasn't big, and it was only the size of a fist. The gerbil took a bite, and half of the pear was bitten off. The cut was juicy, and a sweet smell wafted out.
The gerbil that bit the pear wanted to take a second bite, but its body suddenly froze. It was like it was petrified, and it fell from the tree.
Han Sen and the others were shocked when they landed on the island. They looked at the gerbil and didn't dare go up again.
The gerbil landed on the rock, and its body emitted a yellow light. Its originally grayish-black fur seemed to have been dyed with color, turning into a golden yellow color.
If he hadn't seen it before, he would have thought that it was a lifelike golden sculpture.
As the light emitted from the gerbil's body grew stronger, the golden color became purer. On the contrary, the life force in the gerbil's body grew weaker and weaker.
After a short while, the gerbil's vitality was completely gone, and its brilliance was completely gone. It had completely turned into a golden sculpture.
Han Sen and the others looked at each other. For a moment, no one dared to move. Even Xu Mi, who was most concerned about the fruit, didn't dare to move.
"That fruit doesn't seem to be beneficial to everyone. Maybe the Gerbil King ate a fruit that was beneficial to its body, so it became like that. This gerbil didn't have that kind of luck. It seems to have made the wrong choice," Xu Mi said while looking at the two and a half pears on the tree.
"Can any of you tell which of the remaining two fruits is good and which is bad?" Lin Feng looked at the crowd.
"Dragon Lady, you know the most about these things. Can you tell?" Han Sen looked at the Dragon Lady Chef. He couldn't tell the difference between the three fruits.
The three fruits were also full of vitality, and there was nothing unusual about them. Han Sen couldn't tell if they were good or bad.
The Dragon Lady Chef shook her head and said, "I have never seen this kind of fruit before. In my opinion, there should be nothing wrong with the three fruits. However, I don't know why the gerbil changed like that after eating it."
Even an experienced chef like the Dragon Lady Chef couldn't tell the difference, so Lin Feng and Jing Jiwu couldn't tell the difference.
The treasure was right in front of them, but Han Sen and the others didn't dare to take it. Everyone froze.
Han Sen walked around the island, wanting to see if he could find anything. Because he was wearing the crystal shoe on his left foot, he didn't feel anything when he was in the water. Now that he was walking, his feet were uneven. Although it didn't affect him much, it still felt weird.
Lin Feng and Jing Jiwu were thinking the same thing as Han Sen. They walked around the island, and they did find something.
They just walked around the fruit tree and found that on the other side of the tree, there was a line of words. They were written in ancient human language.
"If there is no hatred in my eyes, I do not believe that there will be white hair in this world," Lin Feng read. Clearly, he was quite good at ancient language.
"It seems that the words have been carved for a long time. The wounds have grown into scars, and the words have almost become a part of the tree. It is a shame that we don't know the growth cycle of the tree. Otherwise, we could tell when the person who carved the words came here," said Jing Jiwu, frowning.
"I wonder which Demigod from the human race came here so early. I wonder if he has eaten the fruit," Lin Feng said in a low voice.
Lin Feng and Jing Jiwu both believed that the words were left by a demigod. Although Han Sen thought it was possible, he wasn't as sure as they were.
After a lot of things, Han Sen realized that humans weren't the only ones who could use ancient human language.
"The person who left the words should be a woman," said Dragon Lady suddenly.
"Why?" Han Sen and the others all looked at Dragon Lady, not knowing how she could tell.
Because the carving had become scars, the words had changed. Although the handwriting was still there, it was very neat. It was hard to tell whether it was written by a woman or a man.
"A woman's intuition," said Dragon Lady seriously.
Han Sen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could a woman's intuition be accurate? In addition, Dragon Lady wasn't a woman at all. She was a female spirit.
It did not matter who had written the handwriting, but it was of no use to Han Sen. Han Sen and the others searched the island, but there was nothing else they could find.
Those gerbils were still desperately swimming toward the island in the middle of the lake. Most of the tens of thousands of gerbils had been dragged to the bottom of the lake. Now, there were only a dozen of them that were still struggling to swim over, and they were still falling into the lake one by one. It was hard to say if there would be any gerbils that could make it out.
While everyone was frowning, Bao'er had already climbed up the tree. She picked a green fruit and bit into it.
Han Sen was shocked. Although he knew that Bao'er was special, he couldn't help but worry. After all, no one could guarantee that nothing would go wrong when facing something unknown.
Bao'er ate the green pear in a few bites. The fruit looked like a pear, but it didn't have a seed. Bao'er swallowed it whole.
Bao'er licked her lips and seemed to want more. However, her body suddenly glowed with a green light, and she fell from the tree. Han Sen's face changed.
