Chapter 207 Playing Dead



Sang Ning herself was also busy; she had to weave baskets or rattan nets for storing cotton.

At night, the light is dim, and it's not easy to see exactly how big this natural wild cotton field is. But when it's bright at night, you can see that the cotton field is so large that you can't see the end of the field.

Standing up and looking out, all I could see was a vast expanse of white.

If we calculate a cotton quilt as six or eight jin, their team has a total of nine people. If we calculate the weight of each person's cotton quilt as six jin, it would be more than fifty jin. If we calculate it as eight jin, the number would be even higher.

Besides quilts, Sang Ning also wanted cotton cloth, cotton-padded jackets and trousers.

Because she had no idea how low the winter temperatures were on this planet, she figured the more winter gear she had, the better.

Otherwise, it would be a real joke if someone were eliminated not by starvation or wild animal attacks, but by low temperatures.

Therefore, the more cotton, the better.

So, for the rest of the time, apart from eating and resting, Sang Ning and his team spent all their time weaving baskets and nets, picking and packing cotton, in a mechanized process.

There are many animals that need cotton, with the squid being the most numerous. The remaining animals are not many, but they all share the same problem as the squid: they like to get something for nothing.

Sang Ning was busy weaving, while Emmanuel and the others were busy picking cotton. The picked cotton was either piled on the rattan net or in rattan baskets. Because it had not yet been pressed, the cotton looked exceptionally fluffy and soft.

The sun has been shining brightly these past few days, making the cotton feel warm and cozy.

Then, the squirrels and the other animals set their sights on the vine nets and baskets filled with cotton. At first, they would sneak over and steal one or two bolls, but later they would steal several bolls at a time.

There's an even more outrageous creature called the Mok Great Rainbow Dragon, which wears a colorful coat and walks with an arrogant gait, like a human with his hands in his pockets. According to the biological guide, this creature is classified as belonging to the Saurus family.

It is also a native species of the Moykaz universe, not a protected species, and is quite rampant.

They can be seen not only on barren planets inhabited by life, but also on prosperous, inhabited planets.

The Mokda Rainbow Dragon is a social dragon with a gentle temperament. It is not large in size and weighs less than 40 kilograms.

The largest known Mokda dragon weighs 46 jin (approximately 23 catties), while the smallest weighs only 8 jin (approximately 4 catties).

The one that came to steal the cotton weighed about 30 kilograms. On the first day, it stole three cotton bolls and ran away.

It came twice the next day and stole a total of twelve flowers.

They came three times on the third day, bringing companions with them, and stole about forty or fifty flowers.

On the fourth day, which is today, this guy not only brought more than ten of his kind over, but also, insatiable, tried to take away the whole basket of cotton.

However, their strength was insufficient. Even with more than ten Mokda Rainbow Dragons working together, they not only failed to steal the basket, but also knocked it over and buried it in cotton.

It was squeaking and begging for help.

Sang Ning stood in front of the fallen basket, her eyes lowered as she looked at the Mokda Rainbow Dragon squeaking and struggling in the pile of cotton. After a long silence, she sighed.

"Therefore, whether you are a human or an animal, you must abide by the law."

She bent down, reached out, and picked up a Mokda dragon, placing it on the ground. Then she reached out to grab a second one.

While taking things out, he muttered, "You know you'll get your comeuppance for doing bad things."

The colorful little wings behind the ears of the Mokda Rainbow Dragon, which had just been pulled out, fluttered, and then it breathed on Sang Ning like a cat.

Sanning, "···"

Sang Ning looked at the Mokda Rainbow Dragon that was breathing at her, and after holding back for a while, she finally couldn't resist the urge to teach it a lesson, so she reached out and flicked it on the head.

It was a very crisp flick on the head, and the Mokda Rainbow Dragon, which was baring its two small sharp teeth and hissing at her, was completely stunned.

It stared blankly at Sang Ning, then closed its eyes and collapsed to the ground, its brightly colored clothes turning grayish-white at a visible speed.

"Dead?"

Sang Ning stared in astonishment, while the audience burst into laughter, saying that he wasn't dead; this was Mokda Cai's life-saving tactic of feigning death.

Sang Ning didn't know much about Mokda Cai. He only asked Emmanuel and the others about it when he saw it stealing cotton on the first day, and they gave him a simple introduction to Mokda Cai.

But Emmanuel and the others didn't mention that Mokdacai would play dead, which is why she saw Mokdacai turn grayish-white and assumed it was dead.

Now that she knew from the audience that this thing wasn't dead but was just pretending, she breathed a sigh of relief and stopped paying attention to this Mokda Rainbow. Instead, she took out the rest of the Mokda Rainbow.

Perhaps sensing that she was harmless, the Mokda rainbows did not run away. Instead, they stood there watching as she took out all their kind and put them aside, and then watched as she tidied up the messy cotton and put it back in the basket, watching with great interest.

Two round, emerald-like eyes followed her hand as she turned, and her head swayed back and forth, making her look quite adorable.

However, this cuteness quickly faded.

The reason was that when the Mokda people realized that Sang Ning wanted to take the cotton basket away, they panicked and jumped into the basket, sat on the cotton, and bared their teeth and squeaked at her.

Its claws were also aimed at her, assuming an attack stance.

If you ignore their trembling bodies and upright hind legs, they actually look quite fierce and cute.

Sang Ning frowned and asked the audience, "What do they mean?"

The audience didn't know either, since no one bothered to study Mokda's behavior.

But the audience still irresponsibly gave their own judgments—

[They probably, maybe, perhaps they want your basket of cotton.]

I think I've misunderstood. Based on my understanding of animals, these dozen or so mokda tamarins consider this basket of cotton their property. Your attempt to take the basket makes them think you're stealing their cotton, which makes them angry and want to stop you from doing so.

[I think the person upstairs is right. Why don't you give this basket of cotton to them, Sang Ning?!]

[Upstairs, you should be generous, not generous to Sang Ning and the others. You can just move your finger or your mind and ask Sang Ning and the others to give up this basket of cotton. Have you ever thought about how hard Sang Ning and the others have worked for this cotton these past few days?]

Emmanuel and the others spent all their time picking cotton, except for eating and sleeping, and their fingers were swollen from being poked by the sharp edges of the cotton husks. Sannin spent even more time weaving baskets and nets, and his fingers were similarly swollen.

Why should they give up their work? This is the fruit of their labor!

【Sang Ning, ignore these Mokda rainbows. Although they belong to the dragon family, they are not very strong. Just drive them away.】

Sang Ning hummed in agreement and said, "I'll give it a try."

However, this attempt proved ineffective; the dozen or so Mokda coyotes were particularly fixated on this basket of cotton.

After driving them away for a distance, Sang Ning returned to continue working, only to find that they came back again.
