The cattle that were originally full of murderous intent suddenly returned to "spring".
They ran happily and energetically from the east slope to the west slope, their big eyes searching for their partner in the concerto of love.
There is actually a certain distance from the east slope to the west slope, but for the Oxen who are looking for spring, how can they be lazy and feel tired when it comes to applauding love?
No matter how tired I am, I still have the energy to applaud!!
So the distance that originally took at least half an hour to drive the cattle to walk was completed in just 10 minutes by the cattle that had returned to spring.
Although the illusion of "Zhuang Zhou's Dream of the Butterfly" had worn off by the third minute, and the leading black bull had sensed something was amiss, it was already among the herd. As the other giant bulls were running forward, it instinctively followed suit.
Moreover, as the leader of the herd, the black-headed bull had a strong sense of leadership. If it ran, it would either not run at all or it would run first. So after 10 minutes, the herd successfully reached the top of the western slope.
Even the cows of Songtsen and Doji, which had copper nose rings, and the "Spring Protagonist" little cow with spotted ears that was left behind by Wu Xiangwang halfway and was left standing there in confusion, took the initiative to speed up and follow the strong herd after they ran past them.
We are all cows eating grass together, how can we be left alone?
When all 13 cows ran to the west slope covered with cranberry grass, the group of people following them almost clapped and cheered excitedly.
"Oh my god, this is so hard. I thought I was going to die under the hooves of a cow."
"Who wouldn't? I don't think I could possibly drive this ferocious giant bull up the western slopes in this whole day."
Who would have thought that he was about to go to hell in the last second and walked straight into heaven in the next second.
Thinking of this, everyone unconsciously looked at the beautiful woman with long curly hair standing in the middle of the cranberry bushes. At this time, the mountain breeze blew past her, and the bright cranberry bushes, her long hair and cloak fluttered slightly, forming a very beautiful painting.
Songzan blushed again and praised his brother: "Duoji, Sister Axiang is so beautiful, just like the fairies in the stories!"
Doji gave the most sincere nod.
Then, when everyone was captivated by the beauty's charm for a moment, she turned her head and said something that shattered the filter:
"What are you looking at me for? Look at the cows! Has each of your teams fed them the cranberry grass they're supposed to?"
Everyone immediately closed their eyes in frustration. The feeling was no less than when a teacher asked them as a child, "Why are you looking at me? Look at the blackboard! Did you get this question right?"
That kind of fatal frustration can probably only be described in detail by my childhood self.
So the teams dispersed and looked for the giant bull they were most responsible for.
Then the adventurers began to worry about how to feed these giant cows that had returned to the grass but stubbornly refused to eat the cranberry grass.
Getting close to the giant bulls would make them wary or even attack suddenly, which almost eliminated the possibility of feeding cranberry grass to the giant bulls after pulling the grass.
So what can be done to feed the cows now? Force-feeding is impossible, and if you use force, you don't know who will win, so what can be done?
The adventurers stood at a distance beside the giant bulls they were responsible for, racking their brains with worried looks on their faces.
Here, the twelve people from Wu Xiangwang's three teams gathered together again.
"Big Sister, do you have any ideas for getting the cows to eat grass? Can you use that little butterfly again?"
The one who spoke was Bu Die from Wang Xiao Finance Team, his square black glasses showing full of expectation and desire.
However, the eldest sister coldly rejected him: "The little butterflies' hallucinogenic effect will only last three minutes at most. And there's no guarantee that they will all eat grass in those three minutes."
"If I really use the little butterfly, I wouldn't be able to feed these cows even if I exhausted all my supernatural powers. Let's try another method."
Budie held his head in his hands and sighed in pain, "But these are a group of ferocious and stubborn cattle! We can't pry open their mouths to feed them grass! What should we do?"
Wu Xiangwang is also thinking.
But at this moment, a somewhat soft female voice suddenly sounded beside him. The voice was delicate and timid, and had a strong sense of clipping, which made Wu Xiangwang feel a little numb.
"If you can't force-feed him, then, can you please give him what he likes?"
Suddenly everyone's eyes turned to the girl with the soft voice, and Wu Xiangwang found that this girl also looked... quite soft.
"Catering to their tastes?" Zhang Ba asked, cigarette in hand. "How do you cater to their tastes? Soft girl, do you know what these monstrous giant bulls like?"
The soft girl looked at Zhang Ba and seemed a little scared, so she took a half step back. Her four male teammates immediately stepped forward to protect her.
One of them even spoke up to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, Ruanruan, this big brother just looks a little fierce."
Bai Ruanruan blushed slightly and nodded: "I, I'm just guessing. It may not be accurate..."
"Hey girl, stop hesitating. It's already late, just say it!" The tall tattooed man seemed to like this kind of soft girl and answered her in a polite manner. "Just tell us and see if it helps. We can judge for ourselves!"
So Bai Ruanruan spoke up: "I, I saw those giant bulls eat, eat people very actively."
Suddenly, the relaxed and expectant expressions of the crowd who heard these words instantly changed. The way they looked at Bai Runrun suddenly became wary and suspicious.
Zhang Ba bit his cigarette butt and said, "Hey, sister, what you said is a bit dangerous."
Such a look and attitude made Bai Ruanruan's eyes redden instantly. She covered her eyes with her hands. "I, I didn't mean anything else. I just told everyone what I found out... Yes, you asked me to tell you!"
Then Bai Ruanruan was pulled behind by her tall teammate, "What are you looking at?"
"You guys don't have the ability to find a way to feed the giant bull, so you force Ruanruan to tell you when she discovers something. Now that she's revealed it, you think she's dangerous? How could a girl as fragile and delicate as Ruanruan be dangerous? Even her supernatural power is a pure healing one!"
The tall teammate's words made everyone more or less retract their suspicious gazes.
After all, what this person said was not wrong. Although the "hobby of giant cows" discovered by this girl named Ruanruan is not really conducive to their feeding of cows, if you think about it carefully, what she said is very likely.
"I saw it at Dongpo before. The giant bull that pierced the third brother threw him off and then ate him, along with the grass, dirt, and stones nearby."
"...Now that you mention it, after Xiao Wu was crushed into a pulp by that giant bull...I remember the grass that was stained with Xiao Wu's flesh and blood was completely eaten clean by the bull..."
The second adventurer who spoke had a sickening grayish-white color on his face as he spoke. He seemed to be very reluctant to recall the tragic scene at that time. After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes deeply and stopped talking.
After these two people followed Bai Ruanruan's words and told the facts they saw, the others also thought of the brutal scene of those giant bulls chasing and eating people on the Dongpo lawn at the beginning.
And that scene seemed to indirectly confirm that Bai Ruanruan's discovery was correct. If they wanted to make these strange giant cows, who they couldn't force-feed with grass, eat cranberry grass, which they didn't like very much, they might really have to use some special "food inducers".
Everyone's faces turned ugly.
"...So, are we going to use human flesh as bait? But these cows are so huge, and their appetites must be huge. How much human flesh mixed with cranberry grass is needed to keep these giant cows full?!"
"One jin, five jin, or ten jin? Or maybe just sacrifice a person alive?!"
The young adventurer who spoke was also wearing glasses. After he said this, everyone on the grassland fell silent.
"...Maybe we don't have to cut the flesh." The short-haired, capable Sister Yu frowned and thought seriously: "Maybe these giant bulls just want to taste the human flavor. In that case, can we bleed them?"
"Let's cut a bunch of cranberry grass and sprinkle some blood on it. Maybe with just a little trigger, the giant bulls will start eating the grass on their own initiative?"
Many adventurers' eyes lit up when they heard this. "That's right! If we use blood, there's no need to cut the meat. We can pour the blood on the grass and stir it. Try to make the grass smell of blood. That will at least make the giant bulls eat a lot of grass, right?"
"Besides, blood can be replenished. It's difficult for us psychics to die from excessive blood loss. I think we can give this method a try."
After discussing it with each other, everyone agreed that this method was worth a try. When everyone separated into their teams, Wu Xiangwang heard Bai Ruanruan say to her four teammates, "Don't worry about bleeding or cutting flesh. Ruanruan has healing abilities. Even if you get injured, she can heal your wounds right away!"
It's just that bleeding and cutting the flesh might be very painful, and my four brothers will have to bear the pain."
"Ruanruan, what are you talking about! We are on the same team with you to protect you! And bleeding and cutting flesh are necessary conditions for this mission. You are not the one who caused us to bleed and get injured."
"You're just smart enough to figure this out."
The beautiful lady turned her head away with her teeth bared. He really didn't appreciate the delicate and gentle type of beauty.
However, bleeding and cutting flesh...are they necessary conditions for completing this task?
He looked up at the giant bulls lying on the hillside, eating cranberry grass bit by bit. Do these giant bulls really like to eat human flesh?
"Xiang, what should we do? Should we go cut grass and bleed that spotted cow as well?"
Wu Xiangwang frowned and didn't answer. At this time, Wu Xingyun popped up from the side, holding his giant mushroom. "Well, if you want to bleed, let's use my blood! Anyway, I'm tough and have a thick blood bar. I can also eat mushrooms to replenish my blood. So use my blood!"
Wu Xingyun recommended himself very sincerely, but the expressions on Wu Xiangwang and Monk Chong's faces were very fake.
Wu Xiangwang sighed, "You have to understand that this is us trying to get the giant bulls to eat on their own initiative, not because the giant bulls are starving and in a hurry to eat."
"If you were asked to choose what to eat for lunch today, with a delicious meal on one side and a burnt bun on the other, which one would you choose?"
Wu Xingyun: “…”
Okay, I know I'm a burnt bun.
Wu Xingyun walked away holding his mushroom with a dark cloud covering his head.
Wu Xiangwang felt soft-hearted for a moment when he looked at the lonely figure, but he soon thought of the eggs that had exploded in front of him and various sudden fatal pits, and he tried hard to cool his heart.
Shang Chong bared his teeth and said, "Then let me do it! I really can't use the knife on you in your current state."
If it was a man who was prosperous, he could still do it, but if it was a woman who was fragrant, even if he knew it was fake, he couldn't help but want to be gentle with her!
Shang Chong was examining his elbow, wondering where the knife would cause the bleeding to occur faster, when Wu Xiangwang reached out and stopped him:
"Don't rush to bleed him yet. There might be other methods. It's still early before 5pm, so let's cut the grass for the giant bull to eat first."
Wu Xiangwang said this to Shang Chong and turned to the two teams next to Wang Xiao and Hao Youjin and suggested: "Many times, there is more than one answer and solution to a problem. Even if this is another world, we can try more."
Wang Xiao held his glasses and nodded: "Yes, that's what I thought. Although we are now superpowers, we won't die easily from losing a lot of blood.
But according to Earth's standard for feeding cattle, a full cow needs about 15% of its body weight in forage. These giant cows weigh about 15 tons, so based on that 15% ratio, they would need at least 5,000 kilograms of forage to be full.
"5,000 jin?!" Shang Chong's face turned green when he heard this number: "These cows are pigs!!!"
Meng sighed. "Pigs can't eat them. Actually, 5,000 kilograms of fodder isn't too hard to cut. I just looked at the cranberry grass in this pasture and found it was tall, strong, and dense. I pulled one and estimated its weight to be about half a kilogram."
So we only need to cut 10,000 blades of grass to feed a cow. If there are four people in a team, then each person will get 2,500 blades of cranberry grass.
As long as you use the right mowing tools, you can mow enough cranberry grass in about two or three hours."
“But that’s where the problem lies.”
Meng Chang sighed. The little chili in the office team was studying accounting. She took a bite of the chili and pointed out the biggest problem:
"A cow weighs ten thousand pounds of grass. Even if we drain the blood of five of us, it wouldn't fill even one-fifth of it, right?"
The finance team nodded in unison.
That’s the problem!
If bleeding really can make these cows eat grass, how many people would have to be stuffed in there to feed the giant cows?
So they all tend to think that there must be other methods, but they just haven't found them yet.
"Everyone, let's think about it again! Let's go mow the grass first. Maybe we can figure it out quickly while we're mowing."
Wu Xiangwang made the final decision.
So the three teams chose three adjacent lawns and started mowing. While mowing, Wu Xiangwang discovered that on the lawn not far away from him, the brothers Songtsen and Doji were also mowing the grass seriously. They were fast and good. When they saw Wu Xiangwang looking at him, the brothers all smiled brightly at him.
Wu Xiangwang also laughed.
"Sister Ah Xiang! Don't cut yourself with a knife to bleed yet! I'm the best at mixing cow feed in our village! I'll try mixing some cow feed with the grass and other food around. Who knows, maybe those giant cows will like it!"
When Songtsen saw Wu Xiangwang's smile, he couldn't help but run over and whisper something to Wu Xiangwang.
Wu Xiangwang blinked and smiled. "Thank you very much, Brother Songzan. If it is really useful, we will give you a reward."
Songzan shook his head like a rattle: "Hey, no need! I'm willing to help my sister with the work! Of course, my brother is willing to do it too!"
Wu Xiangwang wanted to laugh but couldn't because of the word "sister". Finally, he coughed and said, "Okay, let's speed up. Time is still precious."
So Songtsen ran away happily like a calf. Over there, Doji straightened up again and smiled at Wuxiangwang.
Wu Xiangwang lowered his head and smiled. What a lovely boy, such a sincere and cheerful young man. If I could meet them under the blue skies and grassy lawns of Earth, what a wonderful encounter it would be.
What a pity.
Before noon, the 40 or so people still alive were working hard to cut grass. By noon, when the sun was blazing, almost every team had cut nearly 10,000 kilograms of grass.
In the end, Wang Xiao asked Bao Ben to tell each team the amount of fodder needed to feed a cow. Although they were different teams, they were still doing the same task.
It is a community of interests.
Then, everyone looked at the piles of hay with serious expressions—
It was easy to say before, but now seeing so much grass, even a fool knows that a little bit of blood would not be enough to make a cow eat all the grass.
So everyone looked at each other, and everyone was a little hesitant.
At this time, Bai Runrun was the first to speak. Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but it could penetrate into everyone's heart and ears at this time.
"A Feng, please bleed me first. There are only a few hours left until 5pm, and who knows what unexpected things might happen in the meantime. Even if the cows keep eating this much grass, it will take a long time."
"We can't hesitate any longer. Please use my blood to mix the fodder! I'm not afraid of pain!"
Bai Ruanruan was not afraid of pain, but her thin white arms were already trembling slightly. The big young man named Afeng grabbed Bai Ruanruan's arms and said, "How could I hurt you!"
"Look at your skinny body, how much blood can you possibly have? If you're going to cut anything, just cut mine! I'm strong and healthy, so I just need to eat more after a day or two to recover."
As A Feng said this, he stretched his arm over the wooden barrel, and then used a knife to cut the obvious blood vessels on his arm.
He didn't know any medicine but he knew that the place was often used for blood transfusion and blood drawing, so it must be able to drain the blood quickly.
This was indeed the case. After Afeng cut his arm, blood began to drip and then formed a line of blood that quickly fell down and all fell into the wooden barrel.
Then everyone present noticed that when Afeng cut his arm, the giant bulls that were originally grazing leisurely turned their huge heads almost at the same time, and their eyes as big as human heads stared at the bucket of red blood.
!!!
"Brother Zhang! This method seems to be really effective!"
Zhang Ba narrowed his eyes and nodded. "Let's take another look."
When Afeng lost half a bucket of blood, his face turned rapidly pale, and his body began to tremble, Bai Ruanruan rushed forward and hugged him, crying out in surprise: "Afeng, Afeng! Are you okay? That's enough! This much blood must be enough! I'll treat you first!"
As she spoke, she reached out and touched Afeng's arm, and after a while, the wound on Afeng's arm healed.
Bai Runrun helped Afeng sit down, and the other three people in their team began to carefully pour the half bucket of blood on the cranberry grass in front of them.
The cranberry grass, which originally had small red berries, looked even brighter and more eye-catching after being drenched in blood. However, no matter how careful and attentive the other three people were, the half bucket of blood only dyed a small corner of the cranberry grass that looked like a small hill red.
This obvious contrast made the three team members and the people around who were observing them look unhappy, but one of the team members still gritted his teeth and began to carry the blood-stained cranberry grass.
Finally, the three of them dragged nearly 900 kilograms of cranberry grass towards the giant bull they had chosen.
Then something magical happened—
The giant bull, which had previously gone berserk and attacked humans the moment they approached on the eastern slope, surprisingly didn't attack this time! It even stood up when the three team members hesitated, getting within ten meters of it, and slowly, step by step, made its way towards the pile of hay.
The three members of Bai Ruanruan's team were frightened by the giant bull and took several steps back. However, the giant bull did not chase them. Instead, it moved closer to the pile of blood-stained cranberry grass and began to eat the grass in big mouthfuls.
At this moment, Wu Xiangwang keenly felt that the eyes of someone in the team had changed.
