"Aunt Gine, do you know this fruit?!" Talot asked in surprise.
Looking at Gine's expression, which was tinged with a hint of delight, it was clear that the Blood-colored Fruit must be something valuable.
"Yeah, I don't know the specific name of this fruit, but I can confirm that it's the same fruit that Bardock and I ate. Talot, we've stumbled upon something good this time." Gine's voice was filled with excitement.
Hearing that Gine and Bardock had eaten it, the initial hesitation and worry in Talot's mind vanished.
At the very least, it wouldn't be poisonous, it wouldn't affect their mental state, and there wouldn't be any parasites inside the fruit that could control them.
Otherwise, Gine wouldn't have said it like that, and she wouldn't have shown such a reaction.
Talot didn't interrupt Gine's reminiscence. Selari, however, boldly stepped forward because of Gine's words: "If Aunt Gine and Uncle Bardock have eaten it, then it must be safe, right? Can I eat it, Brother Talot?"
"Let's hear Aunt Gine out first, no rush." Talot temporarily held Selari's hand.
This girl could be quite bold sometimes.
"Okay." Selari reluctantly let go of her hand.
Her body was instinctively urging her to eat the Blood-colored Fruit, as if doing so would bring her immense benefits.
"It's fine, Talot. This fruit is edible, and eating it not only heals injuries but also enhances one's combat power.
"To be honest, this is a memory from a long time ago. Back then, Bardock and I went on a mission to an alien planet and stumbled upon this fruit. At that time, Bardock and I were young, and our instincts drove us to eat the fruit. To our surprise, after eating it, we no longer felt hungry, and our strength increased significantly…
"Unfortunately, we only found one such fruit tree on that planet, and there were only a few fruits on it.
"At the time, after learning about the fruit's effects, Bardock and I tried to transplant the tree to Planet Vegeta, but it failed. The reason was that the fruit had no seeds, and once the fruit was picked, the tree would quickly wither…"
Gine shared all the information she knew.
She then added that she never expected to find such a fruit tree on Planet Aura.
This made Talot realize that the Blood-colored Fruit was indeed similar to the Spirit Tree Fruit.
"Nature is truly mysterious and unpredictable. I wonder if there are any other such trees on Planet Aura besides this one?" Talot said.
If there was one, there might be two.
Unless it was a seed left behind by an alien race that had stopped by this planet for supplies, which then sprouted and grew into a fruit tree.
Talot didn't know that he was just a step away from the truth.
His limited thinking only allowed him to go this far.
In fact, the fruit tree was not an ordinary plant; it wasn't something that could naturally grow on just any planet.
Like the Spirit Tree Fruit, these fruits were food that only gods could taste, belonging to the realm of the forbidden.
The appearance of such fruit trees on various planets was indeed a matter of chance.
For example, the tree in front of Talot was the result of the God of Destruction Beerus passing by this planet hundreds of years ago and casually discarding a half-eaten fruit here. Thus, the current fruit tree came into being.
The first generation of fruits contained seeds, which is why they sprouted and formed the tree, producing the second and third generations of fruits.
Jine and Bardock had only eaten the fruits of later generations, which had no seeds and could not be artificially cultivated.
"So, can we eat them now?" Selari, standing to the side, had already been tempted by the thought.
Now that Jine had finished speaking, her greedy expression was fully revealed, making her look particularly adorable.
"Since we all know the effects of these fruits, of course we can eat them. However, there are at least twenty to thirty fruits here. We can't possibly eat them all at once. Even if we could, we shouldn't waste their effects," Talot said.
Eating was definitely possible, but the key was how to take them all away.
The fruits, each as large as two basketballs, meant that even if they could carry two or three each by hand, the three of them could only take away less than half.
Moreover, more giant beasts were approaching.
Selari, once again stopped, did not get angry. She was obedient and followed Talot's instructions without question.
Jine understood Talot's thoughts: "How about I go back and drive the spaceship here? That way, we can take all these fruits with us."
Talot's eyes lit up at this suggestion.
He hadn't really thought of that.
"Then I'll leave it to Aunt Jine. Selari, go back with her. I'll stay here to guard the fruits," Talot said.
Jine nodded in agreement and then pulled Selari, who was somewhat reluctant, along with her.
Once the two left, Talot's eyes narrowed. The giant beasts were already approaching, and he did not hesitate to release his full aura, 1300 Combat Power, in a burst.
The moment his aura exploded, it brought an overwhelming pressure.
The giant beasts in the area, who had been lusting after the Blood-colored Fruit, were all stunned, hesitant to make any moves.
However, the allure of the Blood-colored Fruit was too great.
Even though most of the weaker giant beasts stopped moving, the more powerful ones, after a brief pause, charged forward recklessly.
"Roar~~!!" A hundred meters to Talot's right, a massive beast, resembling Godzilla, charged toward him, its body as large as a small mountain.
It crushed all the flesh and bones in its path, turning the already ravaged forest into a flat wasteland.
A rough perception revealed that its aura was far beyond that of an ordinary giant beast.
The combat power detector sounded an alarm; this giant beast's combat power reached 600.
It was one of the powerful auras he had sensed at the beginning.
For a beast of this level, it would be a catastrophe for Jine and Selari, but in front of Talot, it was merely a bit more powerful.
"The powerful beasts always make their grand entrance last. They stay back at first to let the weaker ones fight each other, then come in to reap the benefits!" Talot was not intimidated by the beast's aura.
'Roar!!!' In just a moment, the giant beast was right in front of him.
It seemed to completely ignore him, with its target being the Blood-colored Fruit.
With one bite, it seemed like it would swallow the entire tree.
"Looking for death!" A glint of killing intent flashed in Talot's eyes.
His aura surged, and energy concentrated in his hand under his control.
With a wave of his hand, a golden energy wave shot out, striking the giant beast's body directly.
'Boom!!!!!!!!!'
An explosion sounded, the ground shook, and flames shot up to the sky.
The terrifying giant beast, which had been charging forward with great momentum, was instantly blown to pieces, blood mist filling the air.
