I stood up and looked Sanfu up and down, left and right, and saw that hard scaly bumps had gradually grown all over his body. His temperament had not changed, but his height seemed to have grown a little. When he looked up, he was half a head taller than me. His legs and feet looked stronger, with obvious muscle lines. The part that was stabbed by the horn was covered with strong scales, which fully proved that the cells all over his body had mutated, just like the Lingchi toad, and his tissues had become "dragon-like".

My guess came true. The Dragon Soul Scale seemed to have exhausted all its energy, but after being swallowed, its dragon spirit energy began to transform everything inside the horse's body like a bacterial infection. The principle was similar to that of Bai Lu swallowing the thousand-year crystal burned by the Antelope Witch, which quickly caused mutations in the body and produced new chemical reactions.

Although the Antelope Witch is powerful, it is still a small witch compared to the real dragon in the legend. This dragon scale has been in the world for a long time, so how can its ability to fully infect and alienate body tissues be less than that of the Antelope Witch's crystals? Therefore, the dragon scale instantly alienated in the horse's body, changing all body tissues, but I couldn't see what was happening inside my body. It was not until the mad bull rushed over that the horse was half conscious and had the instinct to protect Yunwen, so it suddenly collided with it.

The dragon-scaled horse's body, its body tissues and cells have all been transformed into dragons. How can its physical fitness be compared with that of the skinny pony just now? Cows are mortal creatures, while dragons are gods. It is no exaggeration to say that there is a world of difference between the two in terms of physical fitness. Therefore, the mad cow was at a disadvantage, and was knocked away by the collision. It fell to the ground and could not move.

"This is the real dragon horse, right? It seems like you have been favored by the gods." I said with a smile.

Yunwen nodded and smiled, continuing to touch the horse's back. Sanfu was still docile and allowed her to touch him. The man and the horse were familiar with the recipe, but it seemed that the packaging had changed.

There is one thing that I have been deeply suspicious of since I saw the mad bull, and that is why the mad bull suddenly appeared here alone, why it left the group, and happened to appear on this road. Even if everything was a coincidence, there were other animals and targets around, why did it aim at Yunwen alone? It would have been fine once, but the second time it intended to kill her, even though Yunwen was squatting in the bushes the second time, and it was difficult to see her from its perspective, but it still chose to attack without hesitation.

Furthermore, it didn't seem like it was really crazy or had a unclear mind. On the contrary, it had a clear goal and clear thinking. If it was really crazy, it should have hit anything it saw, or find other objects to vent its anger after hitting them. But its goal was the same twice, and when we hid behind the tree, it still did not change its original intention and kept hitting the tree until it broke, almost crushing us to death.

Then it attacked us again, which showed that it was not crazy at all and had plans and strategies. It did not act like a madman but more like a killer, chasing us all the way to kill us.

And it is obvious that its thoughts and plans are not what a normal cow would think of, so I wonder if there is something else wrong with this bison.

I walked up to the bison. It was dead, with a shattered skull and blood flowing from its nose and mouth. I saw that it was strong and not skinny. And its attack just now showed that it was in good physical condition and had no symptoms of unstable gait, so it was obviously not the so-called mad cow disease. Moreover, mad cow disease is unlikely to occur in the wild, so this possibility was basically ruled out.

But what happened is an established fact, and if it is a fact there must be a truth to it, so I looked around the cow but didn't find any clues until an idea suddenly came to my mind. So I parted the cow's hair, reached in and touched it, and when I raised my hand again, sure enough, there was a lot of gray powder. Like me, its body was penetrated by this powder, and due to the vigorous exercise just now, a lot of it was excreted through sweat.

"It's gray powder again. What on earth is this thing? What does it want to do? Why does it always target us?" I couldn't help but say.

Suddenly I remembered the night the ghost ship was burned. There was a splash, as if something rushed into the sea. I felt something was wrong at that time. Now I feel more and more that my premonition was accurate.

"You said that when the ghost was killed by you, this gray powder was left at the scene. If this cow was also manipulated by it to harm us, it must be related to the ghost ship. We destroyed the ship and it retaliated against us. You killed Terry Buck completely, and I shot an arrow to set the ship on fire. This is the motive of the person behind the scenes." Yunwen said.

"That makes sense. There are too many ghosts and monsters on this island. I really don't know if there was a loophole that gave these ghosts behind the scenes a chance to take revenge. It's just that our ancestors have already reminded us to respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them. But we have offended them since we entered Xiying City. I'm afraid it won't be long. It's normal for them to take action." I said.

"Let's not talk too much for now. It's getting dark. We have to go back quickly, otherwise Sister Bailu and Yingchun will be worried. It's not good to go back too late in the wilderness. What do you think?" Yunwen asked.

"Okay, but the cow is dead, and not from mad cow disease. Since it's dead, it's a meat resource. We're short of food, so we should find a way to bring it back so that I can survive this period of famine and the cold winter," I said.

"But it's so big, even if we push it together we may not be able to push it. What's more, there is not enough time today. Pushing it by force will take a long time, and neither time nor strength will work. I think we should just forget it and find another way to feed it." Yunwen said.

"It's definitely not possible for us to push it. Why don't we let Sanfu try to pull it? It's no longer the same as before. After swallowing the dragon scales, it can knock such a huge bison away with a burst of force. It can be seen that the increase in strength is a qualitative change. I want to let it pull it and see. If it doesn't work, it's not too late for us to give up." I said.

Yunwen thought what I said made sense and nodded.

So I climbed up the tree and used a dagger to cut a lot of thick vines, tied them to the cow, tied them back and forth several times, and then tied the other end around the horse's shoulders. After tying it up, I asked Yunwen to try to make Sanfu walk a few steps.

I thought it would be very strenuous for Sanfu, but I never expected that this walking was no different from normal walking. It just slid along, dragging the bison weighing more than half a ton behind it, as if it was not affected by gravity at all. It walked briskly. If Yunwen hadn't asked it to walk slowly, it would probably have run around happily. It didn't look like it was taking it seriously at all.

Therefore, I am no longer worried about the dog days, but instead I am worried whether there will not be enough vines.

With Sanfu dragging the bison, and the walking speed was almost the same as usual, there was no delay for Yunwen and I to return to the post station. We walked out of the dangerous jungle, and it was almost dark. Many wild jackals and other wild beasts had appeared, coveting the meat of the huge dead bison. I tried my best to drive them away and speed up the team.

Fortunately, we returned to the inn without any major incidents. Bailu came out and opened the door. When she saw me coming back, she quickly apologized and comforted me, fearing that I would abandon them again. After all, things will change, but as long as we are on this deserted island for one day, they can only rely on me to survive. Bailu is a smart person after all, she would understand this. Instead of arguing with me with words of moral condemnation, it would be better for her to beg for mercy in a down-to-earth manner.

After chatting for a while, I went to the door to cover their retreat. After Sanfu dragged the bison into the yard, I slowly retreated back to the house, being careful of wild jackals, wild dogs and the like coming to steal food, and stayed in the yard without doing anything.

After returning to the yard, I closed the door tightly, and the only sound I could hear was the screams of the wild animals outside.

Then Sanfu took some effort to drag the bison into the house. After bringing it to a certain place, I untied the vines for it, and Yunwen took it to eat grass.

"Brother Zhou Bo, actually after you left, Yingchun and I reflected a lot..." Bai Lu wanted to continue speaking, but I stopped her.

I sighed, took off my backpack, and said, "Let's go cook first. No need to explain. It was my previous actions that caused you to misunderstand. We both made mistakes, and I have also made self-reflection. After dinner, I will tell you the reason for the situation and we can talk about it in detail."
