23: The Magical Fruit Tree

After running for a while, the Second Team finally arrived at one of their destinations, where there was a Wisteria Tree with some very interesting fruits that caught their attention, totaling ten fruits.

"We finally arrived at the Body Enhancement Wisteria Tree. As the name suggests, the fruit from this tree can forcibly enhance a person's physical abilities, and the results are permanent. This fruit is one of the most sought-after items in the market, and it's not too expensive," Miki explained quickly, before looking around and continuing.

"But it's also not too cheap, because there are many trees that produce these fruits, like this Body Enhancement Wisteria Tree. Nevertheless, we will still take it because it's a good item."

"Team Leader, there's a Monster over there!" one of the men spoke and pointed towards the Body Enhancement Wisteria Tree, where a large wolf with purple fur was standing.

"A Large Poisonous Wolf, it seems like we have to fight to get that fruit, everyone! Prepare yourselves!" Miki spoke while holding a sword in her hand.

While the others prepared for the fight, Yuya looked around before creating a Clone and sending it away, unnoticed by anyone.

Why did Yuya create a Clone and send it away? It was because Yuya intended to secure some plants and monsters for further examination, but he didn't want anyone to know about his plans. Therefore, Yuya did it very carefully and with high vigilance.

"What are you doing, Kuro? Let's go with them! The battle is over!" Taiga, who was also a Carrier like Yuya, called out to Yuya using his alias, Kuro.

"Oh, right, Taiga-san!" Yuya then followed Taiga.

Yuya then took the remains of the Large Poisonous Wolf's body and placed them in a Storage Scroll.

Yes, the bodies of the monsters obtained from looting would be stored in Storage Scrolls, but the storage capacity of the scrolls was limited. That's why the company where Yuya worked part-time needed Carriers like Taiga, Reiji, and Asho.

After taking all the fruits from the Body Enhancement Wisteria Tree, Yuya looked towards an old man, who was Mr. Asho, putting the Storage Scroll into his bag. Noticing Yuya's gaze, Asho finally spoke.

"What's the matter, child?" Asho asked Yuya.

"Does this tree produce fruits every season?" Yuya asked with a curious expression.

"Not every season, but every harvest. The fruits will appear within a range of one month, sometimes even within a week, and there are times when the fruits reappear in just a day. The harvest of these fruits is very random, but because we can't stay and guard the tree all the time, we can only come when we're running out of supplies," Mr. Asho explained very well, making Yuya nod in understanding.

"Then, are all the magical trees like this Body Enhancement Wisteria Tree?" Yuya asked.

"Yes, all the magical trees with various other magical properties are like this one," Mr. Asho confirmed.

Yuya obtained another interesting piece of information. Now, Yuya could send out Clones to obtain various fruits, herbal plants, and monsters for research at any time.

Then they continued their journey until they finally arrived at a mountain, where they climbed towards the summit. Yuya noticed that the higher they went, the more monsters there were.
