Gian watched the amusing scene while
munching on wild fruits despite the odd
expression caused by the sourness she
couldn't help but continue eating
suddenly she realized that this fruit
might be problematic scanning it
revealed that while it resembled the
previous fruits and was exceedingly sour
this variant was addictive consuming too
much could harm the stomach upon closer
inspection she discerned that the
non-addictive variant was called sweet
sour fruit characterized by its smooth
unstriped surface it was Sour when
yellow and sweet when orange conversely
The Addictive variant was known as sour
addiction fruit sharing the same smooth
yellow skin but featuring subtle light
yellow stripes that were easily
overlooked overindulgence could lead to
stomach damage followed by vomiting and
in severe cases hallucinations might
occurred Gian G hurriedly relayed this
information to her companions urging
them to refrain from further consumption
what a toxic fruit disguising itself as
a regular one she sorted out all the
sour addiction fruits and set them aside
at that moment Dudu nonchalantly
approached giangi saying master I am
hungry alas it seems that I have
forgotten my companions who usually
assist me Gian glanced at Dudu the
bamboo Spirit snake and the Crimson
flame snake all of whom gazed at her
with eager eyes master I am hungry too
exclaimed zifi soaring into the air with
a swift motion the bamboo Spirit snake
and the Crimson flame snake being rather
unpick eaters consumed a fish head along
with its bones followed by some mildly
sour wild fruits soon feeling satiated
Gian picked up a coconut from which she
had drunk the juice and using her axe
split it open to extract the coconut
flesh for doodo although there there
were many coconuts on gian's island she
had never offered any to dodo making
this its first experience with coconut
flesh it's not bad Dudu remarked after
tasting it then took another bite after
devouring all the coconut meat it was
evident that Dudu was still not fully
satisfied prompting Gul to scoop out her
own coconut flesh to share with Dudu
Dudu quickly finished the coconut meat
and indulged in a few orange sweet sour
fruits finally feeling full Dudu turned
its gaze towards jiu who was watching it
intently and with a hint of resignation
climbed into her lap to rest thinking to
itself one must be Charming to obtain
favors a te that moment dudk long ears
twitched lifting its head to look
towards the path in the mountains
someone was approaching upon hearing
this Gian swiftly Drew her broken armor
bow and aimed towards the Shadows aware
that while they could not discern the
figures in the dark those figures could
see them illuminated by the fire light
come out she commanded not a man and a
woman cautiously emerged from the
Shadows the woman trembling as she spoke
we merely stumbled Upon This Place by
accident accident Gian narrowed her eyes
at them observing their proximity to the
Fire Light you call this an accident the
man whispered to the woman did you not
say there were only two women why is
there a man I clearly only saw two women
the man pinched the woman sharply
causing her to Yelp in pain their hushed
conversation though faint was clearly
audible to Doo who related all to Gian
upon hearing the woman's cry Chun
xingang frowned what are you doing the
man chuckled nervously my apologies we
truly just wandered in we will leave
right away he then attempted to pull the
woman away but Gian called out stop the
man froze slowly turning to face Gian G
with the same Force smile is there
something you need Gian G pulled out her
black gold dagger blowing on it lightly
as she addressed them it is quite unsafe
in the mountains at this hour why not
come in and warm yourselves by the fire
the man gulped nervously stammering no
it's fine we wouldn't want to intrude he
