Chapter 134 Just tell me if it's worth it
When Lin Yi and Yuan Que came back dragging a simple pallet made of ropes and branches, Wu Baitian had already prepared hundreds of kilograms of dried animal meat and was cutting and packaging it.
On the ground, Wu Bai Tian dug five large pits, filled them with carefully peeled and minced animal meat, and placed them above a blazing flame, emitting a mouth-watering, indescribable aroma.
"I got back in less than four hours, which was pretty fast."
Wu Baitian glanced at the bracelet, and then looked at the bloody and mangled first-level beast, the Lin Chai Blood Pig, on the pallet with satisfaction.
Its body is more than twice the size of a blood pig, and it looks like both a pig and a wolf, with its entire body being blood red.
She didn't waste any words and started to disembowel the six first-level ferocious beasts - Lin Chai Blood Pigs - that were tied to the pallet.
After Lin Yi quickly re-bandaged Yuan Que, he also joined in.
"The meat of vicious beasts must be poisonous, right? Shouldn't it be inedible?" Yuan Que asked in confusion as he sat aside to rest and watched the two people's quick movements.
Lin Yi continued, “For warriors above the second rank, the toxicity contained in the meat of the first-rank beast does not actually pose a threat.”
Then, he thought of Yuan Que who had just entered the late first-grade realm, so he added: "Yuan Que, you don't have to worry too much. We have antidote pills to deal with it."
“I shouldn’t have asked.” Yuan Que rolled his eyes and walked to the side to add firewood to Wu Baitian’s five big pits.
"The energy and nutrition contained in the meat of fierce beasts is much richer than that of ferocious beasts. As long as it goes through specific processing steps, it can be eaten without ignoring the toxicity. Compared with exchanging points, making it yourself is more cost-effective."
Wu Baitian quickly cut the Lin Chai Blood Pig into pieces that were easy to fumigate, and continued:
"We are in for a treat. Near the entrance to the abyss grows a unique marsh plant called the Blood Death Flower.
The fragrance of this flower and its fruit are both highly poisonous, but both the nectar and the blood death fruit exude an irresistible fragrance, and eating them is like heaven before death.
Moreover, we all know that antidotes often grow next to poisons. But the strange thing is that the roots of the blood death flower are the antidote. They have the magical power to remove the toxicity of the blood death fruit. They complement each other and are a wonderful work of nature. "
"So our next step is to dig out the rhizomes of the bloody fruit?" Lin Yi asked.
"No need, Mu Qinzao has gone to dig it. The place where the blood-death flower can grow is full of swamps and poisons. If you go there before you are a fourth-grade rank, you will die. The antidote pills are not effective either."
"Then I'll have a good meal." Yuan Que was tempted by Wu Baitian's description and said happily,
"Don't just sit there, go get two bags of water." Wu Baitian said as he handed over two large-capacity empty water bags. The outer skin was made of a whole piece of yak skin and was very tough.
Yuan Que took the water bag and watched Wu Baitian step over the bloody bandage he had just changed. He muttered to himself: Capitalists are heartless. Not only did she never treat herself as a wounded soldier, she also never treated him as a human being...
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Mu Qinzao threw three heavy woven bags to the ground. Their weight caused the soil under his feet to tremble slightly.
"Hold your breath!" Wu Baitian immediately ordered the two to hold their breath.
What followed was an intoxicating fragrance, which made Yuan Que dizzy before he could hold his breath.
Wu Baitian immediately unzipped his pants, pulled out a root of the blood death fruit, and stuffed it into Yuan Que's mouth without even cleaning it.
"Hold it in your mouth. Chew and swallow it if you can bear the bitterness. Don't waste the detoxification pill."
"..." Yuan Que had just put it in his mouth when his mind became clear instantly. He held the extremely smelly mud in his mouth and asked, "Can you please wipe it off for me with your hand?"
As if sensing Yuan Que's resentment, Wu Baitian wiped the mud off the rhizome with his hand and said, "The blood-death flower is extremely poisonous. Those below the third rank will be killed in one breath."
"What about the third rank?" Lin Yi asked with bated breath.
"Three breaths." Wu Baitian chewed the cleaned rhizome in his mouth, pulled out two more and threw them to Lin Yi and Mu Qinzao, "What are you standing there for? Yuanque, go get some water!"
“…Oh…Oh.” He blamed himself for not being able to hold his breath in time. He also blamed himself for being weak and unable to hold on for three breaths. If he had three breaths, he would have been able to wipe it off. This disgusting taste was worse than dirt…
Mu Qinzao stood aside and quietly took back the detoxification pills that he had prepared to feed the three people. He had no intention of putting the root in his hand into his mouth.
He looked at Wu Baitian angrily and said, "You know a lot, even the medicinal properties. This is not the swamp flower in the southwest you mentioned. It is infinitely close to the geographical entrance, a thousand miles away (the old world). Are you trying to trick me?"
"I didn't expect you to be so easy to trick."
Without entering the Three Thousand Miles (New Territory), this kind of blood death flower cannot grow. Although the blood death flower likes swamps and mud, it can only grow around the abyss.
In this regard, Wu Baitian did indeed trick Mu Qinzao. As long as he reached the southwest direction, he would naturally find that he had gained nothing.
At this time, she guessed that he would definitely enter the new world or even the middle world.
"How do you know I've been to the Middle Realm? If it weren't for your description, I would have gone deep into the poisonous area and returned empty-handed."
"Is it hard to guess? Is there anything in the New Territories that could hurt you enough to put you in debt?"
Wu Baitian first signaled Mu Qinzao to reject the rhizome, and then picked a plump dark-black blood-death fruit from the crown of the blood-death flower and stuffed it into Mu Qinzao's mouth.
"Just tell me if it's worth it?"
Feeling the taste of the blood death fruit bursting in the mouth, the sour and sweet taste instantly blooms on the taste buds, as if countless tiny flames are jumping on the tip of the tongue, and quickly turn into a cool stream, sliding into the depths of the throat.
Mu Qinzao felt the subtle pulsation in his veins. His veins, which had been slightly tense due to the fullness of qi and blood, now felt a sense of relief and relaxation.
Mu Qinzao's eyes lit up as he looked at the blood-death fruits in the three woven bags.
"It's worth it! It's really worth it!" He took the blood fruit from the woven bag and chewed it. "It turns out that it has such a wonderful use. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Blood Death Fruit is one of the main ingredients of Tuomai Pill. It's written in the ingredient list. Doesn't everyone know that?"
Mu Qinzao didn't even raise his head. He had become accustomed to Wu Baitian's occasional pretense.
Seeing that Lin Yi was also eager to try, Wu Baitian hurriedly said, "It's just that because of the toxicity of the Blood Death Fruit, only one Tuomai Pill can be consumed at each stage starting from the fourth level. Forget it."
Lin Yi chewed the bitter rhizome in his mouth and said, "Didn't they say that the rhizome can detoxify?"
"The rhizome can only detoxify the blood death fruit when it is just picked. The time from picking the blood death fruit to eating it must not exceed 5 hours, otherwise even a sixth-rank warrior will get cold after eating it. Otherwise, why do you think Tuomai Pills are so expensive?"
"Then how can this be made into Tuomai Pill?"
"This is how powerful the pharmacist is. How would I know?"
"..."
