Chapter 446: Can They Be Eaten?

The distillation machine was completed during night time.

It was a huge machine, the size of half a football field.

Of course, the reason why it could be done on such a large scale was mainly because the tower that His Majesty had left behind was an overly huge bone.

The Sky Dynasty had specially assigned five people whose daily work was to remove the mud from the sea of mud, put it into the distillation machine, and clean up the waste mud after the distillation machine finished its work.

This was not a simple labor. In fact, the people who performed this were carefully selected by Apollo.

Otherwise, if they accidentally came into contact with the mud, it was either their flesh would rot or they would die.

At night, everyone could not wait to see the operation of the distillation machine.

They had already brought back the mud they needed. The five people used their divine power for an entire day to fill up the bottom part of the distillation machine.

After that, they covered it with a huge lid. The rumbling sound was like thunder.

Apollo, being the heater which was the most crucial part of the distillation machine, had already activated his divine power. In the blink of an eye, he opened up his own domain.

The flames enveloped the distillation machine. It was originally a tall tower, and before the tower, it was the skeleton of a Tier Five god-king monster. Now, facing Apollo’s flames that were almost at full power, it was actually unharmed.

High-temperature water mist surged out from some of the holes prepared beforehand, emitting a flute-like sound. Heat wave was bounced back by the distillation machine wave after wave, covering everyone’s faces. When the wind blew past, it left a pleasant cooling sensation.

After heating up for half an hour, the distillation machine still maintained the grayish-white color of the skeleton. It was not only because it was very tough, but it was also because everyone was using their divine power to protect it.

The lid was lifted, and everyone felt a stifling heat just by looking at it. The high-temperature steam that could not be seen liquefied in the air and once again released heat, turning into a huge cloud-like mist that rose into the sky and dispersed at the same time.

Everyone could not wait to see the scene inside. Some had even covered their bodies with divine power to resist the high-temperature steam, and went to the surroundings of the distillation machine, wanting to find out what was going on.

From the faucet prepared in advance, a stream of silverish hot water flowed out, shining under the night sky with a mesmerizing light.

Apollo was at the side, using a bucket made of bones to catch every drop of hot water. At the same time, as the leader, he gave a short summary of his conclusion.

“We have water.”

The cheers of the crowd lasted for a few minutes, and tonight’s carnival lasted for several hours.

When he woke up the next day, because everyone had a sip of water to drink, Apollo somehow felt that everyone’s complexion had improved quite a bit.

The construction was still progressing under tension. According to the promise previously, the water for the next few days would be stored and used by the team on the road. Therefore, after last night’s carnival, no one thought about drinking water anymore.

Apollo was holding his forehead. His task every morning was to fish with Sharena.

“Good morning, Sharena.”

Apollo initiated to greet her, but Sharena made a hissing gesture.

Sharena was feeding something to a cow.

The cow was obviously Sharena’s summoned creature.

But it was only when Apollo walked closer that he saw clearly.

It was a stalk of golden wheat. It was a poisonous food that had been verified by everyone.

“You know that this thing is poisonous, and you’re still feeding it to your own pet?”

Seeing this, Apollo was puzzled.

“No,” Sharena replied, “Cows have four stomachs. People who don’t raise cows don’t know about this.”

Sharena continued, “The grass that they eat is difficult to digest, so they have four stomachs to digest.”

“They can even regurgitate, which is to spit the contents of their stomachs back into their mouths, chew them again, and swallow them…”

Hearing this, Apollo could not help but vomit. He quickly stopped, “So, what are you trying to say?”

Sharena shook her head, opened the cow’s mouth, and a paste-like thing fell out.

“I was thinking that something that has been ruminated might not be poisonous.”

As she was speaking, Sharena had already summoned Blackie again.

“Blackie, I’ll give you something easy to digest today. Don’t worry, it will definitely be easy to digest…”

Apollo quickly turned his head away. He knew that if he really saw this scene, he would not be able to fall asleep tonight.

After a while, Apollo heard a whimper. When he turned around, Blackie and the cow had both fallen to the ground, dead.

“Sigh… failed again…”

Sharena sighed and skillfully put Blackie back into the tattoo.

Apollo also knew Sharena’s painstaking efforts. After all, no one wanted their companions to walk out of the Great Wall, and no one liked to explore other places.

Of course, Bulanda was an exception. Today, Bulanda was in a particularly good mood. Apollo also knew that if Bulanda was not an important person to be protected, Bulanda would be the first to climb over the Great Wall. This was because while searching for food, he could also look for his wife, or while looking for his wife, he could also complete the mission.

“Ah, so annoying!” Sharena hugged her head. “The cow is dead, and so is the goat. Why didn’t you all have any purification functions?”

Apollo wanted to comfort her, but he suddenly remembered that even if Sharena’s pet died, it could be summoned again. Blackie had been killed countless times, but every time it was reborn, it would still choose to trust its master. Therefore there was no need to comfort her.

Apollo picked up the fishing rod. Just as he was about to start fishing today, he suddenly thought of something.

Why couldn’t we eat Sharena’s pets?

As long as Sharena was still alive, the pets could be resurrected indefinitely.

There were twelve animals, including the mouse that was lost on the second floor. There were eleven of them, which should be enough for the Sky Dynasty to eat.

However, he couldn’t mention this to Sharena directly. After all, it was still a bit impolite.

So Apollo thought of a script and began to chat with Sharena.

“Uh, Sharena, I mean, are your pets infinite resurrectible? Or are there any intervals, or number of times, or something like that? In other words… do they have a physical body, or are they actually pure energy flow…”

Sharena rolled her eyes at him. “You’re asking if they can be eaten, right?”

Apollo didn’t expect to be seen through so quickly. He smiled and blushed to hide his embarrassment.
