Did you spread a bag of candy when you said "Don't forget each other"?
Yes and no.
In addition to sugar, the packet of white crystalline powder did contain something else.
While mowing the grass, Songzan told Wu Xiangwang that he was very good at mixing grass, and he wanted to look around the cranberry grass to see if there was anything else suitable for the cows to eat.
Unfortunately, there was only cranberry grass in this grassland, and Songzan couldn't find any other weeds.
So Songtsen and Dorje concluded that the growth characteristics of these cranberry grasses were very domineering.
And grass with overbearing growth characteristics must also have an overbearing taste. Songzan picked a handful of cranberries from the cranberry grass and stuffed them into his mouth in front of Wu Xiangwang. Then, the honest child rolled his eyes on the spot because of the sour taste.
Then Wu Xiangwang knew how sour the cranberry grass was.
Fortunately, cranberry grass has no other toxicity except acid, but Doggie still slapped his brother hard on the head.
And knowing that red berry grass is very sour, I thought of what Niu Er said before he left -
[These cows are lazy and don't want to walk, and the cranberry grass is a bit sour, so some cows don't like to eat it.]
Those who don't want to walk are "these cows," and those who don't like to eat cranberry grass are "some cows."
This is quite interesting.
The fact that some cows don’t like to eat it proves that some cows are still willing to eat it.
Then Wu Xiangwang took the opportunity to carefully observe the progress of the thirteen cows eating grass while mowing the grass.
He found that ten cows only ate a piece of cranberry grass with small fruits every five minutes with disdain, while three cows ate a piece of grass almost every minute, and one cow could even finish a piece of cranberry grass every thirty seconds.
Although eating one blade of grass per minute is not fast, compared with the giant cows that take five minutes or even longer to finish a blade of grass, these three giant cows are really the ones that like to eat sour food the most in the herd.
After coming up with the idea of "cows that love to eat sour food", Wu Xiangwang had a somewhat strange thought that he couldn't help but think about -
Could it be that these weird giant cows all have their own favorite tastes?
There are three cows that prefer sour food. Is there a cow that prefers sweet food?
There are three cows who like sour food. The cow that doesn’t like sour food looks at these cranberry grasses as if they are looking at lemons, so it is difficult to eat them, right?
Once this thought pops into your head, it’s easy to go crazy.
And most importantly, even if cranberries are oxalic acid, what does that have to do with these giant bulls liking to eat people?
Wu Xiangwang thought for a while and asked Songzan, a professional cattle breeder.
“Do you provide the cows with extra nutrients when you feed them?”
Songzan nodded, his highland face flushed. "Raising cattle requires salt licks, which we give them from time to time. My cows also like to lick sugar, eggs, and other nutritious foods."
"Even though they are cows, they know what tastes good and what doesn't, and what's good for their bodies!"
Then, because of this sentence, I suddenly understood what was going on.
Isn’t that what these weird giant bulls look like?
Although they are neither humans nor those high-level "human-like monsters" with advanced intelligence, they are definitely not monsters that only know how to kill and rob.
They are the "animals" of this world.
Because of the world's energy, these strange animals are even more cunning and ferocious than the animals on Earth.
They eat people because all human adventurers are "high-energy chocolate" to the giant bulls. The supernatural energy in the adventurers' bodies must be of great benefit to these giant bulls.
So, when high-energy chocolate approaches, it would be a shame not to take a bite.
However, because these giant bulls are not very aggressive by nature, they may have learned from their back-and-forth missions that humans are their "feeders", so when people are on guard and it is difficult to bite them, they will no longer actively pursue and just wait for the food to be delivered to their door.
But, the food is terrible.
A little hungry, but not particularly hungry.
Then let’s just endure it and see who can’t bear it first.
In the end, it is human beings themselves who can no longer bear it.
Do not forget to lower your eyes, or in other words, it was human beings themselves who first gave the wrong guidance.
If Bai Ruanruan hadn't been the first to say "human blood and human flesh can make cows eat grass", everyone would definitely continue to work hard to think of other methods.
It might be too late to notice that the thirteen cows were eating cranberry grass at different rates, but someone would definitely notice it.
Then, as long as someone discovers this, they may be able to guess the hidden point about the "giant cow flavor".
As long as you guess this, you can quickly find the right way to make the giant bull eat grass -
Make these overly sour cranberry grasses suitable for the taste of giant bulls.
If you don’t know what flavors the thirteen cows like to eat, just use the simplest one and give them “energy” that they can’t refuse.
It can be ground into powder or large pieces of energy animal meat, or it can be nutritious fruit or juice. In short, human flesh is not necessarily required.
So when everyone was about to start killing each other and filling the hole with human flesh, Wu Xiangwang spoke.
He figured there had to be one or two of the thirteen cows who liked sweets, right? And just to be on the safe side, he added a second-level nucleus powder they'd found on the way to Anle City to the candy.
It was a second-level roadblock that looked like dead grass, and was killed by their twelve-man team with tacit cooperation.
However, perhaps because the monsters who were chasing them had used too much force before, everyone failed to restrain their superpowers when attacking this second-level roadblocking grass, so in the end the grass was gone, and its core was smashed to pieces by Meng Chang's safe.
Everyone was heartbroken at the time and felt that the secondary nucleus that had turned into powder was useless.
But Wangwangxiannan, in line with the principle of not wasting and having enough space in his backpack, still put the powder away. Look, isn’t it useful now!
White sugar mixed with the second-level strange core powder was sprinkled on the sour cranberry grass, and sure enough, two giant cows were attracted by the sweetness and... energy.
Wu Xiangwang looked at the giant cows chewing grass in big mouthfuls, and hoped sincerely that they were eating for sugar rather than for the Yuanhe powder.
Otherwise, the cost of feeding the cattle would be a bit high.
However, no matter how high the price is, it is better than paying with human lives.
At this moment, looking at the cow eating grass with big mouthfuls, the adventurers all began to doubt their lives.
Zhang Ba asked again with a dark face, "Beautiful lady, let's not beat around the bush. If possible, I don't want things to develop to the point where I have to sacrifice human lives to fill the gap in the mission."
"So what was that white powder you sprinkled? Don't tell me it was just sugar. Unless you have good reasons to convince me."
Except for Zhang Ba, everyone else looked at him with suspicion and expectation.
Wu Xiangwang could only sigh.
"Well, there's actually a bit of secondary nucleus powder in there."
"But I think giant cows still have taste preferences."
Then Wu Xiangwang told Songzan about the speed and frequency at which the giant cows ate cranberry grass, and called Songzan to ask him to tell him about raising cows to lick salt and sugar.
"These giant bulls undoubtedly eat humans because humans are delicious to them, but we can resist and escape, so we are not so easy to be eaten by them.
In this case, as long as we can make the grass into something delicious that suits their taste, I think the giant bulls will not refuse it. "
Wu Xiangwang pointed to the two giant bulls that had eaten one third of the haystack.
Zhang Ba did not question it this time. Although he was still frowning and somewhat unconvinced, Wu Xiangwang's words did make sense.
“…Is it really that simple?”
Someone even asked.
"It's actually not that simple. Thinking about this requires a calm mind and a clear head. But after seeing the lethality of these giant bulls, not many people can really think calmly."
The short-haired adventurer closed her eyes. "Some people are not only unable to think calmly, but also cannot help but think of things in the worst possible way."
"So actually, if you want to complete this task, there will probably be two extreme outcomes."
"A pit was filled with human lives, 13 cows were sacrificed for 39 people, and the final outcome was that most of them died. And... perhaps no one had to die."
As the short-haired female adventurer finished her words, her eyes were fixed sharply on Bai Ruanruan, who was still lowering her head.
If Bai Runrun hadn't directed everyone's thoughts to "human flesh" from the beginning, the people who had just died might have survived.
The short-haired lady became suspicious of Bai Runrun, but she really didn't understand why she did this.
Two of the dead were her teammates. How would their death benefit her?!
Moreover, just now almost all of them were about to start killing each other.
The words of the short-haired lady made everyone turn their attention to Bai Runrun again. Anyone who was not stupid could notice that something was wrong with her.
But Bai Runrun refused to look up at this time and just cried softly, as if she had made up her mind to be an ostrich that didn't see anything.
Everyone could only curse her in their hearts or look at her unhappily and then let it go.
After all, although Bai Nuannuan's behavior is very suspicious, the most we can say is that she led everyone in the wrong direction and there is a possibility that she instigated people in her own team to kill each other.
No one can judge that she wants to kill everyone based on these two points.
But Wu Xiangwang looked at Bai Nuannuan who lowered her head and said nothing, thinking about her previous words and actions, and had another guess about this delicate woman -
Perhaps this Bai Ruanruan has already sold out his human soul in some dark and unknown corner like Brother Bin, and turned into another kind of existence.
That's why she is so dedicated to making the people on the mission kill each other and drain people's strength.
At this moment, the two giant cows that were eating grass obediently suddenly stopped eating grass.
Someone exclaimed: "Oh no, they stopped again!"
Instantly, everyone's eyes turned to Wu Xiangwang. Wu Xiangwang smiled and said, "Does anyone have candy in their space? If you still have doubts about my judgment, you can try it yourself now."
This made many people interested. The short-haired lady and Brother Zhang winked at the people in their team at the same time, and then two space ability users found the candy from their own space.
However, the candies that the two men took out were a little yellow in color, but no one cared about that at the moment. They opened the paper that wrapped the candies, took a breath, and carefully walked to the two cows and the pile of cranberry grass, and quickly sprinkled the candies in their hands on the cranberry grass.
After spreading the candy, the two adventurers jumped away faster than the other, and everyone was watching the actions of the two giant bulls.
The two giant cows first moved their noses to smell the grass, and then shook their ears, as if they were a little dissatisfied with the quality of brown sugar. They did not immediately lower their heads to continue eating the grass. Fortunately, before everyone's patience ran out, the two giant cows finally lowered their heads.
"Moo!"
Never mind, adding some sugar is better than eating dry grass.
In an instant, expressions of relief appeared on the faces of all the people doing the task.
"Oh my god! These two cows really like sweet food! Cows actually like sweet food, they must be from the south!"
"That's not entirely true. Who says people who like sweet food are from the south? I'm from the north, and I like sweet food too!"
"Okay! It doesn't matter whether the cows like sweet or salty food, as long as they can eat this damn grass!
There are only three hours left, and only two of the thirteen cows are eating the sugared grass. Tsk, if our beauty says the same thing, what should we do with the remaining eight cows? What flavors do these old cows like?
Zhang Ba said this while baring his teeth with a look of toothache on his face, "Now let's take stock of the seasonings everyone brought. Salt is definitely there, and sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty seasonings. Who has bitter and spicy seasonings?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and then two people actually raised their hands.
"Me, me, me! I have the ability of chili peppers! Now I can summon two different types of chili peppers: the exploding chili pepper and the refreshing tiger skin chili pepper. But if you want the authentic spicy taste, I still have to go for the chili pepper."
The office chili pepper raised her hand happily. God knows how long it has been since her cute and delicious chili peppers were used for the food they were meant to be used for! It was clearly food, but they had to be used as weapons. It was heartbreaking to think about it.
And now! Even if it’s not for humans but for cows, as long as it’s edible, she feels that her little pepper has finally found its rightful home.
The other person who spoke was a man with a bitter face. The bitterness and sadness of this guy were quite different from Wu Xingyun's bad luck.
Wu Xingyun looked depressed because the world put him under immense pressure, which he couldn't escape. But this man seemed to exude a natural bitterness from the inside out, which made it difficult to be happy when seeing him.
"My special ability is to emit bitter melon powder, which can probably make those who eat it feel the bitterness of life. Although it sounds powerful, it's not very useful in practice, and it didn't make anyone die of bitterness.
I've always thought this ability of mine was pretty useless... but I never thought it would come in handy right now." The man with a bitter face sighed, "But are there really cows that enjoy enduring hardship?"
Looking at his bitter and resentful expression, everyone inexplicably wanted to frown and scowl.
Shang Chong frowned and secretly complained to Wu Xiangwang, "As expected, there is no harm without comparison. Now that I see this guy's bitter melon look, I think our moldy mushroom is more adorable and pleasing to the eye."
Wu Xiangwang nodded in agreement. Although Wu Xingyun was feeling down and out, at least his mentality was stable. He had been diligently working to increase his and Mushroom's Luck and Auspiciousness these days. He was also very active in fighting monsters and carrying them.
But this bitter-faced elder brother is different. He is like a male Xianglin Sao, emitting a negative aura from his heart that life is hard, the world is unfair to me, and I was born to suffer.
The moldy mushrooms can still be saved, but this big brother really can’t be saved.
Everyone was silent for a few seconds because of this bitter guy, and quickly tried to cheer up.
"Great, now we have both bitter and spicy flavors. Let's try sprinkling bitter melon powder and chili powder on the cranberry grass and see if any giant cows are willing to eat it."
Brother Zhang made the decision and most people agreed.
However, Songzan, an expert in feeding cattle, felt that simply sprinkling bitter melon powder and chili powder was not a good way of feeding cattle. He asked Xiao Lajiao for some chili powder and prepared to mix the grass with other food in his backpack.
"Since giant beef has its own flavor, then dry seasonings are definitely not as good as carefully prepared ones! I'll try to make a better flavor!"
Wu Xiangwang thought about it and felt that it made a lot of sense.
"Well, actually I'm a little hungry too. In that case, why not just have an open-air hot pot?"
"While I'm filling my own stomach, I might even feed the giant bull some grass and attract a real glutton."
The words "Don't forget each other" were a bit joking, but they were strongly supported by Wang Xiao, Hao Youjin and others.
"We didn't feel it until you told us, but now we're starving. We haven't eaten since this morning, have we? Come on, hurry up, let's get the spicy hot pot ready! Didn't we kill a long-legged rabbit on the way here? Spicy rabbit hot pot!"
So six of the twelve people were assigned to spread bitter melon powder and chili powder, and the remaining six made an open-air hot pot.
While making hot pot, Wu Xiangwang briefly canceled his transformation into the Butterfly Beauty and summoned a snail shell backpack. The other five people blocked his body and talked while boiling water.
"That white and soft, is she... a rape?"
Wang Xiao suddenly spoke.
Shang Chong, Men Hulu, Bao Ben and Xiong Zhuang also looked over carefully.
"I've thought about it carefully before. Her behavior is wrong! It's like she's deliberately trying to lead everyone to kill each other."
"That's right, and you might not have noticed, but I was standing right next to Bai Runrun and that Afeng. I saw with my own eyes that in the end it wasn't Afeng who pushed Bai Runrun, but Bai Runrun who pushed Afeng onto the haystack!"
Bao Ben pushed up his glasses. "What she said and what she did are completely different! She's lying."
Wu Xiangwang listened to everyone's judgment and nodded slightly: "I think she should be."
"But she's hiding very well now, and we don't have any clear evidence, so it's hard to take action for now."
"If she makes any further moves later, it won't be too late for us to catch her. Also, take some time to remind Songzan, Doji, and the other teams to be careful of her."
Shang Chong curled his lips and asked, "What about Zhang Ba's team?"
Wu Xiangwang lowered his eyes and said, "Since we are all human beings, please say something."
Then the six people who were discussing the matter dispersed and began to give subtle reminders while sprinkling powder.
They didn't explicitly say that Bai Runrun might have become a strange ghost, but just reminding people to be careful of Bai Runrun, that was enough.
What relieved all the taskers was that after sprinkling bitter melon powder, chili powder, and salt on the cranberry grass, six of the remaining eight giant cows that didn't like sour or sugary food condescended to walk forward and began to nibble the grass at a leisurely pace.
Although their grass-munching speed did not meet everyone's expectations, they were still able to finish eating their 5,000 kilograms of cranberry grass before five o'clock in the afternoon!
Adding in the three giant sour-tasting cows that were already grazing on cranberry grass at a leisurely pace, eleven of the thirteen cows had now begun to graze!
That’s really cause for celebration!
However, after everyone was happy, they became worried about the last two giant bulls that were still lying there unmoved.
"We've given them all, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty. Why don't these two giant cows choose any? What flavors do they prefer?"
"...Tsk, what other flavors are there besides these five? Astringent?"
"Oh my god, is it smelly?!"
"Stinky, stinky! Can you make me a plate of stinky tofu right now? If not, shut up!"
Everyone looked worried.
At this time, a strange fragrance drifted into everyone's nose from not far away.
It was a powerful mixture of spicy and sweet flavors, and it seemed extremely tempting in the afternoon when no one had eaten lunch.
All of a sudden, everyone turned their heads and looked towards the direction where the fragrance came from.
Then, they saw the cheerful Xiong Zhuang holding a big spoon in his hand.
"Hey, when it comes to making hot pot, I'm an absolute stunner! Back then, I almost followed my uncle into being a chef! Don't worry, even if the ingredients are a little less, the flavor is absolutely amazing!"
Hiss.
Some people couldn't help swallowing.
At the same time, the person who was swallowing his saliva heard a louder slurping sound.
The sound was so loud that it was a bit ear-shattering. The person who was swallowing his saliva turned around and saw that the black and strong bull king, who was not interested in any pile of grass, whether sour, sweet, bitter, spicy or salty, suddenly stood up.
Then, it dug its hooves and rushed to Wu Xiangwang and his friends' golden hot pot like a small mountain.
He sat down with a thud. The cow's hoof pointed directly at the red oil hot pot filled with chili peppers.
"Moo~~~~~"
This is good. If you are a boss, you should eat red oil hot pot!
Brush grass for the cows!
Don’t forget each other: “…”
Chef Xiong Zhuang: “…”
Everyone else: “…”
Wu Xiangwang wiped his face and said, "Brother Zhuang, we are not in a hurry. Let's brush the grass for Brother Niu first."
