Revealed to have poisonous seed cores. If a core is broken, it leaches poison into the fruit's pulp, causing it to become watery and rapidly decompose. Consuming the poisoned fruit causes severe food poisoning that is lethal in sufficient quantities.
Timeline
This fruit is the objective of Erin's food-finding expedition. After much struggle, she acquires some by kicking the tree they grow on, receiving a system notification and securing her first meal.
The fruit serves as Erin's first reliable food source in the new world. Its seed pod, discovered to be caustic and foul-smelling, becomes an effective thrown weapon against the Rock Crab. The fruit trees are also the location where Erin first encounters the Goblins.
The blue fruit is central to the chapter's plot. Initially a reliable food source, it's revealed to be potentially deadly due to its poisonous seed cores. Erin's near-death experience forces her to learn how to distinguish safe fruits from poisoned ones, a major step in her survival.
The blue fruit is offered by Erin to Pisces, who reveals its poisonous nature, frightening Erin momentarily. She demonstrates how to prepare it safely, showcasing her own learning and resourcefulness. Pisces eventually eats it out of extreme hunger.
