Chapter 782: Infinite Desert Holy Fruit – Spine‑Spine Fruit

Captain, when did this big guy appear?

The Beastman squad leader glanced at his own clansmen, whose eyes were full of clarity, and said: "I'm with you guys; do you think I would know?"

He waved at the Beastman Warrior behind him: "Keep up."

Cloud-Trampler truly lives up to being a mighty ferocious beast; even carrying heavy cargo and two people, its speed is completely unaffected.

The old shaman was sitting on a small dirt mound in front of his sand burrow, basking in the sun and waiting for news from his clansmen.

In the next moment, the surrounding Beastman Warriors all grabbed their weapons, looking as if they were facing a great enemy.

He immediately stood up with a solemn expression: "What... happened?"

What is that!!!

The old shaman's pupils contracted as he watched the two people and beast rushing quickly toward the camp; he was completely dazed.

That thing isn't a legendary ferocious beast, is it!

Just as he was stunned, Cloud-Trampler had already stopped not far from the crowd.

He lowered his head, glanced at the crowd pointing weapons at his little caramel, and let out a disdainful snort.

You all are younger brothers.

Wu Yue, who had just gotten off its back, glanced at its expression and, annoyed, patted its head: "Keep a lower profile."

Aooo~~~

He got a nine-turn eighteen-bend howl.

The old shaman squeezed out from behind the tall Beastman's body, with some difficulty rubbing up beside Wu Yue.

The little old man walked along, glancing sideways at Cloud-Trampler with his peripheral vision, feeling very sneaky.

Wu Yue, this is the legendary ferocious beast, right?

His thin index finger quietly slipped into his armpit and pointed toward Cloud-Trampler.

Wu Yue looked at the old shaman in surprise: "You've actually seen a ferocious beast?"

The old shaman straightened his thin back, looking proud: "Of course, I'm a shaman who went out traveling and still returned safely."

Moreover, I was fortunate enough to have witnessed a minor ferocious beast tide...

Saying this, he actually showed a rare trace of lingering fear on his face.

That's really too terrifying—fire‑spitting wolves, poison‑mist‑spitting snakes, and wild boars that can shoot spikes from their backs...

He took a deep breath: "These are still the lowest‑tier combat forces in the beast tide."

Those ferocious beasts that fight the super‑tribe chieftains have a much heavier aura—I simply can't get close to them.

Saying that, his gaze fell once more onto Cloud-Trampler's back: "The one beside you is about on par with those."

Wu Yue gave a simple smile and scratched his head: "This is a beast the tribe's great shaman caught to be my mount; the great shaman said its combat ability is decent, good enough for taking on small wild beasts."

The old shaman: "..."

Although what she said was true, why do I always feel so greatly hurt?

Because of the conversation between the old shaman and Wu Yue, everyone in the Sand Lizard Tribe now knows how mighty the ferocious beast Cloud-Trampler is.

Although everyone wanted to know what was inside those bulging pouches on its back, no one dared to step forward.

But the old shaman sitting under the beast‑skin canopy had a vague guess about something.

He suppressed his inner excitement and gave a subtle glance to the Sand Lizard chieftain beside him: "The fruit you were told to keep for trade last time—bring it over for Wu Yue to taste."

After saying that, he glanced with a squinting smile at Wu Yue and the other person: "The sandstorm came too suddenly; Wu Yue hasn't even properly gotten to know our Sand Lizard Tribe."

Although we aren't a big tribe, we still have some good things.

The little old man hehe‑laughed, rubbing his dry, thin hands: "So, why don't I take out the precious items I'm supposed to bring to the gathering and show them to you?"

If you see something you like, could we exchange some salt for it?

After saying that, his pair of eyes, surrounded by wrinkles, looked pleadingly at Wu Yue.

Being locked onto by those eyes emitting a twinkling light, Wu Yue shuddered all over, breaking out in goosebumps.

On her delicate white face appeared a simple smile: "Of course, we also bring salt for trade; if your tribe's items are exactly what we need, then Cloud-Trampler could even lighten the load a bit."

The mentioned Cloud-Trampler let out a "woo" in response to its master's words, lowered its head, and continued chewing on jerky.

Having received an affirmative reply, the old shaman was completely delighted.

Just then, the Sand Lizard chieftain, his face grim with pain, walked over with a few of his clansmen.

Behind him, a female held a beast‑skin on which lay several fruits that had been specially washed.

Wu Yue glanced at it, feeling somewhat familiar: "Is this fruit?"

In this vast desert, in this season, to actually see such fresh fruit—Wu Yue felt quite surprised.

The old shaman, also feeling a pang of pain, took the few fruits, turned, and handed them to Wu Yue and the other person: "Wu Yue, try them—this is our Infinite Desert's holy fruit, the Spine‑Spine Fruit."

Spine‑Spine Fruit?

She reached out and took one.

As soon as the fruit landed in her hand, Tongzi's voice instantly rang out: "Wow, host, it's a cactus fruit—according to the main system, this is really tasty."

Sure enough, it was a cactus fruit, and upon closer look, the spikes on its skin had already been processed.

Wu Yue took out a small dagger from the side of her pack and skillfully peeled off the cactus fruit's outer skin.

Revealing the juicy, abundant flesh inside.

Taking a bite, she revealed the dense, hard‑crisp little seeds inside, like sesame.

The texture was smooth and tender, soft and juicy, with a mildness like dragon fruit, plus the sweet‑tart of strawberry and kiwi, making it incredibly refreshing and thirst‑quenching.

One can imagine how refreshing it would be to eat a Spine‑Spine Fruit in the hot season.

It lives up to the reputation of the Infinite Desert's holy fruit.

"It's really delicious."

Seeing her stunning look, the old shaman and the surrounding Sand Lizard Tribe people proudly puffed out their chests.

Of course, this is their Boundless Desert's holy fruit.

The old shaman hehehed, pushing the remaining few fruits toward Wu Yue: "Shaman Yue, don't think this spiky fruit is called a holy fruit just because it's tasty."

Although there are many spiky fruit trees, not every spiky fruit tree bears spiky fruit.

After these mature spiky fruits are harvested, they are sent back to the tribe as quickly as possible, where the shaman preserves them with shaman power.

Whenever the sand beasts rampage each year, we rely on these spiky fruits to replenish our shaman power and beast god power."

Wu Yue stared: "You mean this spiky fruit can replenish the consumed shaman power and beast god power?"

She felt a bit, but her body felt nothing.

The old shaman laughed loudly: "Shaman Yue, you have no shaman power consumption inside you, so naturally you feel nothing."

The greater the consumption, the stronger the feeling of replenishment."

He pointed at the spiky fruit placed before Wu Yue: "Of course, the energy of these few spiky fruits stored by our tribe is not as great as those in the big tribe and super tribe."

Mainly, our tribe's spiky fruit trees are too young; they haven't yet grown fruit with strong energy."
