C17 Immortality

Fober appeared with one of his dried corpses. He didn't think that I was still alive, but at the moment, he didn't care that much. I saw the dried corpse behind Fober with an ashen face and a shriveled body. The two pairs of eyes inside his deep eye sockets were staring at the peaches. He greedily breathed in the sweet scent of the peaches. He wanted to eat the peaches. He had to eat the peaches, too.

His aunt did not stop Fober from helping her grandson pick the peaches. After Fober picked the peaches, he gave the peaches to his grandson, "Quickly eat, brother. You're starving to death, right?" The juice of the peach was blood-red, and because the child's eating state was too poor, there was the juice of the peach left behind at the corners of his mouth and face. The red liquid was like blood, and as the peach was swallowed, the child's dried corpse slowly filled up and turned into a normal child.

Brother? I looked at Fober's 60 + year old appearance, then turned my head to look at the brother that he spoke of. He was clearly only a few years old, I couldn't understand why my brother was so much older than my brother.

"I know you're an immortal. Thank you for not killing me. Without this peach, my brother would have died. I can't watch this happen!" The Fober revealed a grateful look as he said this, as he cupped his hands in a salute, and bowed to me.

"That's right, celestial being, you didn't hear wrong, it's a Immortality Peach, an immortal Immortality Peach." Fober didn't wait for me to ask any questions and started to explain.

"Legend has it that the Queen Mother controls the fruit of longevity, which is the Peach of Immortality." The Fober slowly spoke, as if he was telling me a story, "A long time ago, a Immortality Peach Seed left the mortal world, so the kings who don't want to grow old could split their forces to snatch it away. The armies battled for three days and three nights. Blood flowed like rivers, but the victor was still undecided. Even when everyone was exhausted, that seed had actually taken root and sprouted under the influence of the blood of tens of thousands of warriors! In the blink of an eye, towering trees rose up from the ground, their branches filled with bright red peaches. When everyone was rejoicing at the sight of this miracle, something unexpected happened — "The story that the Fober told was as unimaginable as the sky and the earth, so I didn't really believe it. Thus, I asked for confirmation from my aunt, who told me to listen to it carefully, and I believed the story that my Fober told.

Fober paused for a moment. "The rivers of blood on the ground have all been absorbed by the roots of the trees, and the corpses of the dead soldiers have been stabbed by the roots, becoming dried corpses. The people who were still alive saw this and fled in all directions, but they could not defeat the tens of thousands of roots. Fober said as he revealed a longing expression. If those Immortality Peach grew so much, brother wouldn't have to worry about tomorrow.

After Fober finished his story, he touched his brother's head and said, "This story was told to me and my brother by the elders in the village when we were young. We thought that it was just a legend at the time, until one day …" Fober's tone was filled with guilt. He looked at his childlike brother with guilt, and tears of guilt flowed down from one of his eyes. In order to protect me, my brother had been drenched by the rain and had an unrelenting fever. I plucked a peach from a large tree, squeezed out some juice and fed it to my brother, but who would have thought that it would end up hurting my brother's entire life! "Sorry brother, sorry!"

After Fober said this, he pounded his chest in annoyance and cried sorrowfully. After so many years, he still hadn't forgotten how deep and severe the damage he received from his wrong move back then was. His brother wouldn't grow up in his lifetime, and he wouldn't be able to get married and have a relationship. Living like a ghost everyday, how painful would that be?

The older brother held Fober's hand and looked up at his younger brother. The red peach juice dried on his face and looked like real blood had solidified on his face.

"You didn't hurt me. You just wanted to save me, just like how I protected you before." After saying that, Fober's elder brother turned to look at me and gave me a weird smile. I didn't know if he was laughing at himself or laughing at himself.

"Indeed, eating this Peach of Immortality has the effect of immortality. Ever since I accidentally ate the Peach of Immortality on this tree, many years have passed, and I'm still like a child. I won't grow up, nor will I grow old. However, I am also deeply poisoned by the blood curse. If I don't eat the peaches that are fed from the blood of living people, my body will gradually lose its moisture and become a living corpse! " Fober's brother explained the side effects of using human blood to pour the Peach of Immortality.

I think that the development area that was filled with great prosperity all those years ago was probably destroyed by these two's design, making many people bury their corpses underground to become nutrients for the deceitful tree. This little brother barely survived by relying on the Peach of Immortality at that time, but he already didn't live as a human.

The grandma yawned, wanting to compare notes with her stories. After hearing my speculations, she interrupted them, "In that case, I'll help you to get out of this predicament." Then, without waiting for their reactions, they rushed up. They had harmed countless people and had long since lost their human nature. So, it was understandable for their grandaunt to attack them. This person was terrifying. Sometimes, he was even more terrifying than ghosts.

With a wave of her fan, that brother's head fell down, and green blood splashed onto the ground. When the Fober saw that his brother had been killed, he was startled for a moment, then ran over to hug his brother's body, just at that moment, the deceitful tree's vine, upon smelling the smell of his blood, rushed over like a madman, and pierced through Fober's body, and's brother's body as well.

Fober and his brother were lifted up high like candy. Not long later, the two of them also became the nourishment of the peach tree, and a peach bloomed on the tree. It seemed that the brother was no longer human.

After all, the Peach of Immortality's shortest fruit blooms every 3,000 years, and the result every 3,000 years. After all, the shortest Peach of Immortality blooms every 3,000 years, and the result every 3,000 years, and the result every 9000 years.

He could only rely on eating the Peaches of Immortality that had been watered down with human blood to keep himself alive. If he didn't eat the Peach of Immortality, he would turn into a mummy, neither human nor ghost. The current brother was probably not alone.

Could a person who had survived by relying on human life still be called a human? There was no difference between this and a monster!
