nAfter observing the fruit for some time, he found something peculiar.

nAt times, tiny golden texts appeared and disappeared on the fruit.

nThe text contained some special kind of signs which combined to form the text and it was giving out a special kind of feeling, which he was unable to comprehend.

nHe used his spiritual sense on the fruit, to see the signs more clearly.

nBut to his surprise, he found that when he was using the spiritual sense there were no text or signs as if it didn't exist.

nWhen he opened his eyes the texts were appearing and disappearing on its own will.

" I can't understand the mystery behind this fruit, so I will leave it be... But what I am more afraid of is whether the fruit will also disappear just like the tree..... Should I eat it or not?

nWhat would be the consequence…

nWill it be just like in those novels and I would gain new powers or something...

nAfter all, the tree did give it to me... What if, it shouldn't be eaten just like that or maybe it contains more energy than I could take....

nI should put this on hold for now, there are much more important matters that I should focus on.

nLike finding out where I am and is there any other dangers like the evil sword lurking around..

nI will get some rest first regain my energy and look around

"

n....

nAfter looking around for 1 day, He got a better understanding of the surroundings, this place was like a cage in a semi sphere shape covered by the black and red smoke from every direction.

nFor some reason the black and red smoke didn't enter the semi sphere area.

nAnother thing that he found was that there were five mountains in total, the fifth was a frozen mountain, giving out chilly air.

n

" I don't think this is the surface of the earth, if something like this existed on earth it would have surely made news.

nUnless someone deliberately covered it up and there is also the question of how I appeared here.

nThe other possibility is that this place is deep under the earth, something like that sci-fi novel journey to the center of the earth..

nBut I don't have the slightest clue what these mountains are and this black & red smoke is really weird.

nIt's probably the mountains that are keeping the smoke away.

nWhenever I look at those black and red smoke, it gives me the creeps.

nIt's as if some dangerous beast is looking back at me through the smoke...

nAnd these mountains, I can't even go near them.

nThe only mountain I can get on is the one I came from…..

nThat aside thankfully the fruit didn't disappear or anything.

nEven when observing with spiritual sense, I can see that its energy has not decreased or anything.

nBut this is something beyond my understanding so I am not sure...

nAnother matter that puts me at ease is there are no dangerous animals around the area... Now that I have a basic understanding, I will observe and experiment more tomorrow hopefully I will find a way out soon

"

n6 more days passed by, He started experimenting by throwing small stones into the mountains, he found that the 4 mountains were really dangerous. Anything that got near the flame mountain was burned into ash and drifted into the air.

nAs for the frozen mountain anything that got near it was frozen and turned brittle and broke down.

nFor tornado mountain it would cut anything into small pieces and the weirdest one was the black mountain.

nThe stones that were thrown at the black mountain sometimes disappeared, sometimes only half of the stone thrown in would disappear and sometimes nothing happened to the stone.

nHe even used the spiritual sense to probe, the result was disastrous.

nHe used the spiritual sense on the flame mountain and as it reached the area before the mountain.

nIt was like his spiritual sense was burned the instant it touched it.

nEven though he withdrew the same instant, it was already late.

nHe got an unimaginable headache as if his brain was fried and lost consciousness, he came back to senses only after one whole day.

nHe already had the conjecture that these mountains represented the Extreme of 5 elements Earth, Fire, Air, Water and Space.

nBut for some reason the energy of these mountains were contained within 30 meters of the mountains.

nThe troubling thing was the black and red smoke, he didn't dare to go into it or probe it with spiritual sense.

nAfter learning from the previous events, he created a long pole from earth.

nHe pushed it towards the smoke, when he pulled it back after some time, he found that there was nothing left of the part that extended into the smoke, and the edge of the remaining part was as if it was corroded.

nHe created another pole, but this time he pulled it back immediately and he got a different result, only a part of the stick has been corroded as if dipped in acid.

nHe continued with the experiments, this time he extended the pole towards the red colored smoke but to his surprise nothing happened.
