Chapter 2346
“How do you know the Stardew Fruits are in here?” Alex asked the pig demon. After all, even the
Mystic Maiden did not know that the Stardew Fruits were hidden underneath at first, and she only knew
that there was something good here.
The pig demon pointed at its nose with itsrge hoof. “Do you know I am?”
This action of it was indeed a little peculiar. Alex asked, “Aren’t you a fleshy pig?”
“A fleshy pig?” The pig demon screamed and pouted its snout, as if the words ‘fleshy pig’ were an
extreme insult.
“Aren’t you a fleshy pig? I see you’re hairless and fleshy. If you’re not a fleshy pig, what are you then?
A hairless pig?”
“You… You’re insulting pigs!”
After saying that, the pig demon seemed to discover that something was wrong with that sentence.
Then, it arrogantly said, “I tell you what, human brat. I alone am the honored treasure-hunting pig. I can
tell if it’s the Stardew Fruit from a whiff with my nose.”
Alex understood it now.
An item like the Stardew Fruit was produced from the Stardew Tree and had particrly stringent
requirements for cultivation. It was especially difficult if it were to grow naturally. This was something
that belonged to the prehistoric era and was practically extinct.
The Stardew Fruits were nted on this mountain, so someone must have cultivated them deliberately.
Hence, the mountain’s surface was extremely barren without any living spiritual energy because the
spell formation had been sealed.
“Human, do you know the method to pluck Stardew Fruits? I can assert that you won’t be able to pluck
even one of them without my help,” the pig demon said with a great conviction.
Alex nodded in his mind.
The Stardew Fruit was extremely peculiar and had its own protection system, just like a natural domain.
If he were to pluck it recklessly, he might be killed on the spot by the Stardew Tree’s domain.
The Mystic Maiden said, “I remember it. Strange creatures called treasure-hunting pigs that have an
extraordinary ability to track precious nts do indeed exist. To them, it’s an instinct that’s fused in the
bloodline… If you can deceive this pig to serve you, you won’t have to worry about the spiritual
materials in the future.”
Alex asked, “Can I capture it by force and sign a contract?”
The Mystic Maiden shook her head. “Strange creatures have their own protective abilities. The greatest
problem with this treasure-hunting pig is that it’s immune to contracts, and it’s especially fast when it
runs. It still looks like a suckling, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to deceive it.”
“Of course, such a daunting task has to be handled by professionals,” Alex replied. “I’ll leave it to my
beloved Master White Lotus then.”
“What do you mean?”
“Oh, I mean with great abilitiese greater responsibilities!”
At this moment, the silver light that burst through the mountain cave was getting stronger.
The treasure-hunting pig eximed in surprise, “It’s almost time. The Stardew Fruits are ripening. Stop
hesitating, human. Hurry up and go in. It only takes the effort of several blinks to progress from ripening
to decay of the Stardew Fruits. Once you miss it, there will be nothing left.”
Alex did not hesitate and immediately agreed. He dug again with the Xavion Sword, digging a little
deeper.
The treasure-hunting pig drilled into it right away without saying another word.
Alex was afraid that it had a trick up its sleeve, so he activated the Reflective Eye and created a few
mirages, leaving two of them guarding the cave entrance. Then, he hurriedly went in to pursue it.
A few minutester, he saw the Stardew Tree.
This was a space of the mountainside with an area of about five hundred square meters. Underneath
was a pool of chilly water with fairy energy floating on it, and in the middle, was a short, ancient tree
that glowed with silver light. It was five meters tall at most, but its foot was fully wrapped with thick and
old vines.

The tree’s trunk and leaves emanated a silver radiance. The seven purple flowers on it were growing at
a speed visible to the naked eye.
The pig demon said, “How fortunate! How fortunate! There’s still time. Seven flowers actually bloomed.
Hey, human brat, I’ll take four fruitster, and you’ll take three fruits. This is Grandpa Pig’s bottom line.”
Alex dug his ear.
Whoosh!
The five mirages at the back rushed over and stood next to him. He licked his lips and said, “Actually,
the Stardew Fruit whatsoever isn’t very important to me, but I’m a bit hungry right now. I really want to
eat roasted trotters.”
Once the pig demon heard it, its eyes opened wide. Looking at the six identical Alex’, it thought that its
flesh was more precious, so it could only give in. “Fine then. Half for each person. Each person will get
three and a half fruits.”
