Chapter 436: Sharena’s Piglet
Pa.
Sharena gave herself a slap.
“Piglet, you win.”
She only knew that piglet was a bit smart, but she did not expect it to be so smart. It could tell at a glance that its master wanted to kill her, but it also wanted to eat that piece of bacon. It therefore came up with the method of tilting its head to eat it.
“I still have… cow, tiger, rabbit…”
Sharena counted with her fingers the number of the animals she had left to use. It would be best if they were big enough to survive until they returned to the base camp being poisoned to death by the sludge. If they were slow-witted, they wouldn’t be able to see what would happen.
“Sharena, aren’t you a necromancer? Why don’t you just order that pig to go back with a mouthful of sludge?”
“No, what do you want the mud for?”
“Can’t a necromancer control his summoned creature? What do you do being a necromancer?”
…
Everyone was making fun of Sharena. In their eyes, necromancers were usually powerful figures who summoned powerful puppets to fight. When they found out that Sharena was also a necromancer, they were shocked. They did not expect the Sky Dynasty to have such a figure.
But now that they saw that Sharena’s so-called summoned creatures, were even a group of animals that did not listen to their master’s orders, they felt that it was indeed very funny.
“You guys don’t understand. I don’t like to use force…”
Sharena explained, “Moreover, the mud is what Bulanda wants. I don’t know what Bulanda wants to do.”
As she was saying this, Sharena was just about to take back her piglet.
However, the piglet that was originally lively and could even raise its eyebrows to its master to signal that it would not be so easily deceived, died the next second.
“What happened?”
“Why did your pig die? It didn’t eat the mud!”
This scene was quite strange. Everyone saw it with their own eyes. The piglet accurately bit the bacon and did not take up any mud.
Even if it had, the piglet should have started rotting from its mouth.
Sharena also frowned. The death of an animal meant that the next time she summoned them, she would need to spend a certain amount of divine power to build their bodies. This was a waste of Sharena’s own divine power.
If she used an animal to fish, and the rewards were much greater than the divine power she had spent, Sharena would not mind.
But now, the piglet had died right in front of her. It was too strange.
“Lend me a knife.”
Sharena took a long knife from her companion and cut the piglet in the middle, revealing the contents of its stomach.
The piglet had not eaten for a long time, and its stomach was empty at the moment. It did not even chew the bacon properly and just swallowed it.
Near the bacon, it had already started to rot. Black stripes spread wantonly in the piglet’s body. In a short while, it had already turned into a pile of rotten meat.
Everyone covered their noses to block this unpleasant taste.
“The bacon is poisonous.”
Sharena said slowly.
No one refuted her, because this scene had happened right before everyone’s eyes. The piglet only ate the bacon, and now the piglet was dead. After splitting it open, they found out that it was the toxicity of the bacon that had killed the piglet.
Sharena’s piglet was not much different from an ordinary piglet on Earth. For people like them who were at the god-king level, the poison was a kind of slow death, but for the piglet, it was a strong poison.
“Blackie, come out.”
Following Sharena’s shout, a pretty-furred puppy jumped out from her stomach.
Sharena raised the puppy. Among the countless black animals, the name “Blackie” referred to the puppy.
“Blackie, sister will bring you to eat something good. What do you think?”
“Woof!”
After feeding Blackie a piece of bacon, Sharena counted the time. Five seconds after the bacon entered her stomach, Blackie stomped and fell straight to the ground, dead.
“D*mn it, it’s really poisonous!”
Sharena took back the carcasses of the puppy and piglet and turned them back into tattoos on her body.
Everyone who saw this scene was staring at each other in panic.
The bacon was taken out of the chef’s backpack, and the chef’s backpack was picked up in the wild.
The Sky Dynasty had a large batch of similar luggage.
If the food in the luggage was also poisonous, then there would be some poisonous food in the storage room of the Sky Dynasty. If it was eaten by someone who was unlucky, people would definitely die.
“It’s okay. The luggage from a few days ago was clean. We checked it.”
Sharena pointed at the tattoo on her stomach. That was where Blackie was.
“Being your dog really requires some skills…”
Someone in the crowd commented.
What happened was after they had brought the food back to the base camp, they were not sure if the food was safe. They therefore tested the toxicity.
According to the train of thought provided by Simmons, monsters only ate divinity and toxicity, and the food obviously did not have divine power.
Therefore, if they threw the food to the monsters outside, if thy ate it, it meant that the food was poisonous. If they did not eat it, it meant that the food was safe.
However, there was a drawback to this.
They had to throw enough food.
If it was too little, it would disappear if they threw it. They would not know if it was eaten or blocked, so they could only throw a large enough amount of food to verify it.
This was undoubtedly a waste, but soon, they thought of another way.
It was the extremely obedient Blackie.
Let Blackie eat it, and if it died, then the food was poisonous. If Blackie was alive and kicking, then it was safe.
This method was very cost-effective. After all, Blackie’s appetite was not very big. Moreover, as a dog without divinity, once Blackie was poisoned, it would die very quickly. The time cost to verify the toxicity of the food was not high, and the results could be verified very quickly.
“However, we have to tell Apollo about this. Everyone must be careful in the future.”
Sharena muttered.
All the luggage that was picked up previously had been proven to be safe by Blackie.
Every piece of bacon was picked up and fed to Blackie. Every pot of water had to be shaken evenly to give Blackie a sip. It was so full that Blackie almost died. There was no sign of Blackie being poisoned.
Therefore, Sharena had always believed that the luggage picked up outside should be safe, so there was no need to be so cautious in the future.
However, everything that was happening now meant that the luggage picked up was not safe either. It might even carry fatal poison.
