Chapter 1433: 1433
Han Sen and Ling Mei'er were on their way to a gold shelter . The Underworld was a sprawling labyrinth that featured all sorts of places .
Creeping across many of the rocks were thick, hardy vines .
"Are these vines geno plants, by any chance?" Han Sen asked Ling Mei'er, pointing at the vine . The vines looked familiar to him .
The vines were not strong like the Aqua Vine, and more than anything, they almost looked like the ordinary, garden variety .
"This is the Underworld's Holy Vine . They support the entire world; we down here are its protectors . When we finally acquire a gemstone geno core, we are allowed to return to Dark Spirit Shelter . That is the place that houses the primary vine," Ling Mei'er explained .
"Can the Holy Vines produce fruit, and if so, are they beneficial?" Han Sen asked with much curiosity .
Ling Mei'er smiled and said, "It can produce fruit, yes . But the elder says it has only ever produced one . As for when it next might mature, none can tell . The elder never leaves the shelter due to the terms of the Hundred Tribe Deal, but he also remains there to safeguard the vine . "
"If your elder wants to protect it that much, it must be something quite powerful," Han Sen said .
Ling Mei'er receded into thought for a moment, before saying, "There is one fruit currently on the vine, but it has yet to mature . He hasn't told me what it does, but I recall when I was small, he let me sit next to it and touch it . I don't remember it being anything particularly special . "
Ling Mei'er described the fruit's shape and size and then said, "But I'm not sure how all the vines can only produce one small fruit like that . "
Han Sen was shocked to hear Ling Mei'er describe it, because he realized she was talking about a gourd . And learning this, it was like a lightning bolt struck his brain . He knew now why the vine looked so familiar to him .
The vines that gave birth to Bao'er looked exactly like this . The only difference was that the vines he had seen long ago were rotten, and that's why his mind didn't immediately make the connection .
After hearing what she had to say, he realized now that the Holy Vine was what those vines would have looked like if they weren't all dried out .
Han Sen drew the shape of a gourd on the ground and asked, "Did the fruit look like this?"
"Yes; have you seen it before?" Ling Mei'er patted her own head then, and went on to say, "Wait, you've only just been born . There's no way you've seen it before . "
Han Sen was shocked . The gourd he drew was exactly the same one that Bao'er came out of . Did that mean Bao'er would have a connection to the Holy Vine?
Han Sen had mulled this over a lot in the past, and he was always interested in learning more about where Bao'er came from . Only humans or creatures with human blood could travel between the sanctuaries and the Alliance .
