Chapter 258 Treasures growing in volcanoes! (2-in-1)

The work of exploring the uninhabited island was progressing smoothly. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, after being attacked by Irene, Jiguo Enichi, who led the team, intentionally or unintentionally exuded the aura on his body.

There are many giant creatures on this island, and there are several creatures that are taller than the white apes we have encountered before. We also bumped into a few along the way.

Although beasts do not possess the domineering power of seeing, hearing, and color, the innate intuition of these creatures is many times stronger than that of humans. The aura released by Ji Guoyuan was like a higher-level beast, causing those passing giant beasts to choose to retreat.

From the coast to the foot of the volcano in the middle of the island, it took nearly three days to walk with the strength of Ji Kunoyuan and the others.

In the past few days, the navy had been sleeping in the open air. Although they were protected by Jiguo Yuanyi, the spirit of the navy was also highly tense along the way and they did not dare to relax for a moment.

After walking out of the virgin forest, the navy breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

The temperature at the foot of the volcano began to drop suddenly, and the peak was covered with snow. Several rivers flowed along the ridge towards the forest. The white snow on this towering volcano melted and gathered into rivers, which are actually the fresh water on this island. origin of.

With the help of the navy, the military doctor took out the utensils and collected a piece of food at the foot of the mountain. Suddenly, the preliminary investigation mission of Ji Guoyuan and his team was declared over.

Let his subordinates rest temporarily at the foot of the mountain, and Tsukikuni Enichi planned to investigate the activity level of the volcano alone.

It only took Jiguoyuan a dozen seconds to fly from the foot of the volcano to the top of the mountain.

How to distinguish between extinct volcanoes and active volcanoes? The main thing to look at is whether the volcano is in an eruption cycle, or whether the volcano has erupted in modern times. This is a very long observation process. Generally speaking, it requires professional people to conduct geological exploration before we can draw the conclusion. in conclusion.

But when Enichi Tsukuni's military boots stepped on the snow around the crater, he had already made a judgment.

"Is it an extinct volcano?"

The climate conditions at the top of the mountain were completely different from those at the foot of the mountain and the virgin forest. Just when Ji Kunoyuan stepped onto the snow field around the crater, there were already heavy clouds above his head and a cold wind. Chill, the clothes of Jiang Jiguo Yuanyi were blowing loudly.

A blizzard is about to fall.

As soon as Ji Guoyuan felt the solid ice beneath his feet, glanced at the lush greenery inside the crater, he came to a conclusion.

I have to sigh with emotion, the power of nature is really amazing!

Inside the volcano is a green space. This extinct volcano did not form a volcanic lake above the crater. Instead, it formed a volcanic green space. The height of the green space is several hundred meters shorter than the crater. It is located on the mountainside of the volcano channel. Location.

And the area is not small. If you look at it, it may be thousands of square meters.

What grows on the green land are short grasses, and you can see them all at a glance.

Ji Guoyuan put on a gas mask and jumped directly from the back mountain pass towards the volcanic green field. After a while, his military boots also stepped on this lawn.

He lightly stomped his feet, feeling the solidity on his feet. He raised his head, and Jiguo Yuanyi's eyes noticed a strange small tree over one meter high in the center of the green space.

This strange little tree grows in the middle of the short lawn, and it is quite eye-catching. Ji Guoyuan had not noticed it before when he was standing in the crater. It was only after he came to this green space that he suddenly discovered it.

The small tree has only one branch, which is twisted and twisted, and there is a heavy fruit hanging on the branch of the small tree.

This is a huge fruit that is golden in color and shaped like an ostrich egg. This fruit is also covered with red cloud patterns.

Under the gloomy sky now, this touch of golden red on the green ground is still so dazzling.

"Devil fruit?"

Enichi Jikuni's figure quickly approached, looking at the short tree in front of him that was only as high as his waist, he slowly squatted down and looked at the devil fruit.

He quickly searched for relevant memories in his mind, but in the devil fruit illustrated books he had read, it seemed that the devil fruit in front of him was not recorded. After thinking about it for a while, Tsukikuni Enichi gently shook his head and stretched out his hand to pick up the devil fruit. The fruits were picked from the fruit trees.

"clatter--"

After a soft sound, the fruit stems and branches separated. The tree trunk that was still "standing" quickly shrank at this moment, as if it had lost water and quickly became dry.

When Yuanyi took off the fruit, he could clearly feel that the short grass on the lawn was even more green. Under this gloomy sky, there seemed to be a little bit of fluorescence.

"."

Ji Guoyuan carefully observed the changes in the surrounding environment and remained silent for a long time.

After a while, little bits of white snow fell from the sky. The snowflakes fell on the green land and disappeared immediately. As soon as Ji Guoyuan put away the fruit, he didn't stay for long, soared into the sky and returned directly to the crater.

After leaving the green space in the volcano tunnel, Ji Kunoyuan's skin and muscles couldn't help but tighten.

The temperature in the two places under the same sky and earth is completely different. The temperature at the peak is already below zero, but on the green land, the temperature is a pleasant 20 degrees.

The body temperature changes too fast, and Yuanyi can't stand it.

"Devil fruits actually grow in a place like this. It is indeed a secret treasure in this sea."

"The harvest has been great. Let's stop the investigation here. Wait until the branch stabilizes and then gradually develop the island."

Returning to the top of the peak, Ji Guoyuan took a look at the surrounding environment, then swept his body and quickly descended towards the foot of the mountain close to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, Jiguo Yuanyi's figure disappeared from the crater towering into the clouds.

"clatter!"

The surging domineering force quickly subsided as Ji Guoyuan landed on the ground. When his feet stepped on the ground at the foot of the mountain again, a group of marines who had been sitting on the ground to rest wanted to stand up and salute one after another.

Yuanyi waved his hand, then greeted the military doctor:

"Dr. Beru, please give me a box. I need to put something in it."

Seeing Enichi Ji's signal and listening to Enichi's words, the navy noticed that Enichi's left hand was holding a golden fruit. The fiery red cloud pattern on it made everyone recognize it at a glance. I recognized the origin of this thing.

"Evil Devil Fruit?"

"General, did you find this on the volcano?"

Ferrander looked at Jiguo Yuanyi in astonishment and said with some disbelief. Although he had not gone up to the volcano to see it, he knew from visual inspection that that kind of place was absolutely barren of vegetation.

Ferrander learned about Devil Fruit when he was at the Naval Academy. Although he has never seen it with his own eyes, in the navy's unified textbook, Devil Fruit has the most basic characteristics of plants.

It was the first time he had heard of a Devil Fruit growing among the Jedi.

Moreover, this is the first time that Ferrander has seen a real Devil Fruit in his entire life.

Although the Sword of Dawn branch has Devil Fruit reserves and is open to all navies, it is too difficult to obtain the two natural Devil Fruits.

"Well, I found it inside the volcano."

"There is no record in the navy's devil fruit illustrated book. It is a devil fruit that has never been seen before."

Jiguo Enyi said casually, not caring about the devil fruit he got at this time. This kind of devil fruit with unknown effects is of no use to a strong person of his level.

At most, it will be added to the reward library, allowing subordinates to compete enthusiastically.

It's just that the Sword of Dawn has been established for some time, and no navy can take away the two natural devil fruits he obtained earlier.

Is the trial mission to get the Devil Fruit too difficult?

Not necessarily, natural devil fruits are quite rare, and the trial mission he assigned is the most basic entry requirement.

To be able to resist Mihawk's men for a quarter of an hour, the navy's domineering and sword skills must be of a certain level.

Only such guys can achieve further development if they obtain the natural Devil Fruit.

otherwise.

Without consolidating one's own strength, obtaining the Devil Fruit early will only restrict the development of the navy, become dependent on the fruit, and lose one's core competitiveness.

Someone like Smoker who uses a natural Devil Fruit to such a waste.

Jiguoyuanyi will not allow such a guy to appear in his army!

"Hiss, you are worthy of being a general. You can find devil fruits even if you check the terrain casually."

"You are really blessed by God!"

Military doctor Beilu was a young man in his thirties, with a delicate manner. After hearing what Jiguo Yuanyi said, he took out a black bag from his backpack and handed it to Yuanyi.

Yuanyi put the devil fruit into his bag and said with a smile: "You can't be so exaggerated."

"It's just a coincidence."

"This volcano has not erupted for many years, and the ice at the crater is already very thick."

"And inside the volcano, solid ground has also been formed."

"At present, it seems that it should be an extinct volcano. Of course, the possibility of it erupting cannot be ruled out."

"But for us, the exploration should stop here."

"Pack up and prepare to leave. We will wait until the test results of the collected minerals and plants come out and the branch is stable before developing the island."

"Let's spend the night here today and return to the warship early tomorrow morning."

As soon as Tsukuni Enki tied the Devil Fruit around his waist, he sat down to rest cross-legged like the other marines.

After hearing Tsukuni Enichi's arrangements, the navy began to set up tents and collect wood to make fires and boil water. The navy was fully prepared for this trip, and there were many animals and beasts on the island, so there was no need to worry about food.

After eating and drinking, the navy began to store fresh water and make dried meat, and their luggage was quickly filled.

The sun is rising.

Mihawk, who stayed on the warship, got up early as usual. All the navy on the warship were taken out by Ji Guoyuan, and he was enjoying the happiness of being alone.

After a simple wash, Mihawk went to the kitchen on the warship, took a piece of beef from the cold storage, took some ingredients, and cooked his own breakfast.

As a person who has high requirements for the quality of life, Mihawk will never allow his food to be dealt with in a daze!

"Zizzizi——"

Early in the morning, the sound of frying meat could be heard from the kitchen, and the faint smell of meat wafted far away.

Not long after, Mihawk appeared on the deck with a roll of newspapers under his arm and a tray in both hands. On the tray were several slices of bread, a plate of meat cut into small pieces, and half a glass of red wine.

Mihawk sat down on the bench next to the railing and looked at the morning sea. He slowly grabbed the goblet and took a sip of wine to "appetite".

The sea breeze in the morning was a bit cool. Mihawk was wearing a thin shirt, leaning against the railing, enjoying his breakfast and reading the newspaper.

Recently, the world has become much calmer.

What is published in newspapers are all "little things".

It's just that another big pirate appeared somewhere and did something, and the bounty reached tens of millions; or that a small country was invaded by pirates and suffered heavy losses, and then under the heavy blow of the navy, a certain country A certain pirate group was declared destroyed.

For Mihawk, reading the newspaper is nothing more than knowing what is happening in the world.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, the appearance of a big pirate with a bounty of tens of millions or more than 100 million is already a big deal.

But in Mihawk's eyes, this fact couldn't be more trivial.

Pirates with tens of millions of levels are not even qualified to enter his eyes. From the establishment of the Sword of Dawn to the present, the pirates that have been defeated are among the best in the entire sea!

As the Warring States Period came to power, the world situation became relatively stable.

In the new world, the most famous Whitebeard and Charlotte Lingling began to be called the Emperor of the Sea by pirates. However, this title is still only circulated in a small area, because many pirates sneer at it.

Emperor of the sea?

Which Sea Emperor has enemies inside its chassis? !

The Sword of Dawn, which follows Kuni Yuiichi, is an existence that everyone has to be wary of in the new world.

"Well?"

Just as Mihawk was enjoying the rare silence of the morning, a figure suddenly flew onto the deck.

Mihawk murmured softly, slowly raised his head, and saw a naked buttocks and barefoot savage appearing in front of him. At this time, he was looking at the dinner plate next to Mihawk, his eyes shining.

The savage who appeared on the deck of the Dawn warship at this time was none other than Irene. God knows how long it had been since he had eaten meat with flavor. He only had fruits and pure meat every day. No matter how much he ate, he would still get tired of it.

Erin hesitated for several days, and it was not until today that she finally made up her mind. She wanted to eat meat with a different taste. She wanted to go to sea with Ji Guoyuan and see the outside world.

"that."

"Can I have a taste of that?"

"I won't eat your food for free, I'll trade with you."

As he spoke, Irene jumped up and quickly disappeared on the deck. Not long after, Irene jumped onto the deck. On top of his head, there was a rock tray, which was filled with meat and meat. Unknown fruits and vegetables.

Mihawk tapped Erlang's leg, picked up the fork in his hand, inserted a piece of meat from his plate and put it into his mouth. While chewing, he looked at the inexplicable young man who appeared in front of him, with a look in his eyes. A little surprised.

Irene was only over ten years old, but she could actually jump onto a warship that was tens of meters high. Such physical strength was quite astonishing.

At this time, the rocks and things he was dragging on his head weighed hundreds of kilograms.

This can be called a gift.

Erin looked at the silent Mihawk, the excitement on her face dimmed a little, put down the rock plate in her hand, and said to herself: "Isn't it enough?"

Seeing Irene's disappointed look, Mihawk slowly put down his fork, put his hands on his knees, looked at Irene, and suddenly said:

"What's your name?"
