"It's now certain that we must be deep within a very primitive forest because of the presence of these enormous beasts. This area is clearly unsuitable for the Ouyuns to settle."

  Based on the information he had gathered, Talot began to analyze.

  "We know nothing about P Ouyun. The fact that the Ouyuns dare not pete with these gias for living space suggests that these beasts are even more dangerous than the Ouyuns." Previous intelligence could be disregarded; now they had to rely on their own discoveries, bit by bit.

  "Hmm, while it's still unclear whether the Ouyuns are as described iel, we've flown such a long distahout entering a single one, which leaves two possibilities.

  "Ohere are no Ouyuns in this forest, or even on this ti! Two, perhaps the Ouyuns, like us Saiyans, live in groups somewhere on the p, and the rest of the territory belongs to these gias."

  Talot tinued.

  He finally uood why this invasion mission required the elimination of all species that be threatening, not just the Ouyuns.

  The real problem was these enormous beasts.

  Gine nodded and added her own observation, "Maybe we've just seen too little of the area, and since we were in the air, flying at high speed, there are many densely wooded areas that even the scouter couldn't s all at once. Or perhaps, if we go further, we might reach the edge of the forest, and the world beyond could be pletely different."

  Talot agreed with Gine's perspective.

  After all, any intelligent life form is pletely different from beasts.

  "Let's not worry about the Ouyuns for now. I'm more curious about what's happening here. Aunt Gine, Sari, be careful; I'm going over there to take a look," Talot said.

  So many gias fighting for no apparent reason—there had to be a reason!

  In such a primitive world, it was either a fight for territory or a flict between two opposing forces.

  But sihe beasts were of different species and there was no obvious leader, there was another possibility, as Gine had just specuted—they might be fighting over something.

  "Talot, maybe it's better not to take the risk," Gine advised subsciously, given that they had just arrived on this p and were already fag such a situation.

  "It's fine. Even if these beasts have power levels of two or three huhey 't hurt me. And Aunt Gine, don't fet, my power level is 1300! These beasts may be huge, but their power levels aren't high pared to mine." With those words, Talot was about to take a when Sari, who had been closely, noticed something.

  "Brother Talot, Aunt Gine, look over there—o that giant snake and the terror beast, there's a straree," Sari pointed out, drawing Talot and Gine's attention in that dire.

  They had been so focused otle that they hadn't noticed the area filled with corpses oher side.

  Amid the bloodied corpses, a hundred-meter-long white snake and a several-dozeer-tall terror beast were killing any approag beasts.

  A bit further away from them stood a fruit tree, not particurly rge.

  In this bloody battlefield, where the forest had been torn apart, the tree remained untouched, not even stained with blood.

  "Are those two beasts proteg that tree?"

  The tree bore some peculiar blood-red fruits that shimmered uhe sunlight.

  Could it be something valuable?

  A treasure?

  Various thoughts fshed through their minds.

  The world is vast and full of wonders.

  The fruit that make beasts fight over it must not be ordinary.

  "Those fruits oree must be the reason for this battle," Talot said, and in the instant, he shot forward.

  Gine couldn't say anything in time, and Sari, staying close to her, only mao call out, "Be careful, Brother Talot."

  …

  As Talot desded from the sky, getting closer, more thoughts filled his mind.

  Though he was thhly familiar with the plot of the Dragon Ball world, iy, he didn't truly uand this world.

  For example, he knew nothing about this p.

  Eve came to Earth and P Vegeta, it seemed like he knew and uood them, but iy, he was unaware of anything beyond the inal storyline.

  When it came down to it, his uanding of this world was only superficial.

  "This fruit is definitely stra's even drawiowards it, with my body instinctively wanting to eat it."

  Startled, Talot quickly reached the top of the fruit tree.

  The blood-red fruits, visible to the naked eye, were actually abs the blood aura around them, nourishing themselves and making the fruits even more plump.

  If it weren't for the fact that there was no aura present and the scouter didn't deteything, Talot would have suspected that this tree had developed sentiend was alive.

  [Is it abs life energy? So, are you the one trolling these beasts to kill each other to nourish yourself? Or is it your allure that pels these beasts to fight to obtain you?]Talot specuted as he tio approach.

  At that moment, a vague memory surfaced in his mind.

  The Tree of Might!

  Although pared to the Tree of Might, this tree was insignifit and not worth mentioning, they were indeed very simir.

  Both absorbed life energy, but while the Tree of Might absorbed the nutrients of aire phis tree only absorbed the life energy of these beasts.

  "If it's like the Fruit of the Tree of Might, then this blood-red fruit might also enhane's strength," Talot's heart began to race.

  If that were the case, it would undoubtedly be a treasure.

  However, he knew he o be even more cautious.

  As he drew closer, with all his attention focused on the blood-red fruits, suddenly, two roars erupted, creating a massive disturbahat whipped up a howling wind, f Talot to halt.

  "Earlier, because I was too small a target, you didn't notice me. But now, you've finally noticed, huh?" Talot murmured, looking at the giant snake and terror beast, while the scouter automatically detected their power levels.

  Giant Snake: 390.

  Terror Beast: 380.

  With power levels below 400, aside from their enormous size and intimidating presehey posed hreat to him.

  At this moment, the se articurly terrifying.

  Talot, a five-year-old child, barely 1.3 meters tall, looked like an ant pared to the giant snake and terror beast.

  Ordinarily, Talot should have been frightened.

  But instead of feeling any fear, he felt a bit excited.

  Perhaps it was the Saiyan's i battle-loving gehat made him fearless.

  Of course, that alone wouldn't be enough; it was also his strength of 1300 power level that gave Talot fidence.
