Chapter 447: Very Regretful
“You can’t eat them.”
Sharena shrugged, showing a very regretful look.
Apollo nodded. “Is that so? That’s true, you have a deep relationship with them…”
“It’s not so.”
Sharena frowned and explained.
“First of all, they have a physical body. My tattoo is actually a portal to another dimension. I don’t know where they usually stay. When I need them, I can call them out from the dimension.”
“If they die, I will retrieve their carcasses. Even if they are torn into pieces, they can still reforge their bodies.”
“Anyway they can be eaten, but only for once.”
“They will enter your stomach and be digested by you. Their bodies will become a part of your body, such as the wounds you heal, the new hair you grow, the increase in your height and weight, and so on.”
“And if I choose to retrieve the carcasses, I will extract the parts that originally belonged to them from your body.”
“You will then die, and it will be a very ugly death. The wounds will reopen, some of the hair will disappear, and your body will shrink. Every part of your body will be missing for some reason.”
“I don’t have any combat ability. I know this as well.”
“This is my trump card. I once used this move to kill an entire bandit gang.”
When Sharena spoke of this, she was so cold and stern that she did not seem like her usual self. It made Apollo take a deep breath.
“Anyway, let’s not talk about this anymore.”
Apollo waved his hand. “Are you ready? This morning’s work is still fishing.”
“I’m ready, my Lord.”
Sharena took back the cow’s carcass and began the day’s work.
Two hours later, they caught eight monsters of all shapes and sizes, but they couldn’t catch anymore jackal-shaped monsters.
According to the person on duty on the tower, they had actually managed to fish a jackal. However, the jackal broke the rope by a swing in the air, and Blackie died in vain.
Apollo saw that it was almost time and was about to call it a day, Simmons passed by and saw the monster’s carcass on the ground.
Simmons sighed, “It would be great if we could catch that goat.”
Apollo knew that he was talking about the dead goat which carcass no monster wanted to eat that they saw, he therefore asked, “That sheep is already dead, how does it take the bait? Besides, why do you want that goat for?”
“What do I want the goat for…”
Simons repeated this sentence.
Indeed, it was just a monster in the shape of a goat. There was no lack of such monster’s carcass in the Sky Dynasty.
However, Simmons somehow had a feeling that the dead goat could be of some use.
“What are you guys talking about?”
Sharena heard the words “goat” and “death” and did not understand what the two were talking about.
“Yesterday, we saw a dead goat outside. Its body was not eaten by other monsters. It was that simple.”
Sharena’s eyes rolled up when she heard that. “I don’t think it was that simple.”
This answer was agreed by Simmons. He raised his eyebrows and signaled Sharena to continue with his eyes.
Sharena hummed for a while and then said, “You have said before that monsters can only digest two things. One is divine power, and the other is poison.”
“The goat’s body is not eaten by monsters. This means that this goat has no divine power or poison.”
“Why don’t we bring it up? And we eat it ourselves?”
Simmons and Apollo widened their eyes. “That’s right! Why didn’t we think of it before?”
Nevertheless, after their excitement, they calmed themselves down.
Unlike those living creatures that would be tempted by the bait, this goat was already dead, so it would be very difficult to bring it over.
They would definitely have to expend a lot of energy and even bear a certain amount of risk to do so.
And all they would get was a better meal. It was not worth it.
Just as they were about to give up on this plan, Simmons suddenly pulled Apollo back.
“I think there’s still a problem.”
“What?”
Simmons licked his lips. “No monster will lose its poison for no reason. This is one of the experiences passed down in my tribe.”
“But this goat had lost its poison. Even until the day it died, no other monster wanted to touch it.”
“I think there might be something hidden in that goat that can make the monster lose its poison!”
Sharena smiled and shook her head. “How could there be such a good thing…”
The three of them were silent for a while. In the end, they still could not let go of the goat.
Indeed, this was too rare in the Ghost Swamp. They had never heard of a monster suddenly losing its poison.
It was not that they had never dissected a monster before.
However, after doing it several times, everyone lost interest because there were no other significant discoveries. The people here were surviving, not doing biological research.
But now, an extremely special sample had appeared, which made their hearts itch.
“How about we give it a try? What if we can bring it up?”
Apollo broke the silence, and his opinion was instantly agreed by the other two people.
“That’s right, let’s give it a try.”
Sharena also said so.
After confirming with the person on duty, the goat’s body was still in its original position.
They spent a short five minutes to make a simple lasso, ready to use it to pull the goat up.
When they stood on top of the tower and slowly lowered the rope, they realized that this step was very difficult.
First of all, there was a moderate wind blowing on and off here.
They currently didn’t have anyone proficient in wind magic here, so in the face of this gust of wind, they were even a little helpless.
With difficulty, they finally lowered the rope, wrapped it around the goat’s head, and fastened the zip line. Finally, they slowly pulled the goat up.
This process was very fast, and the goat was about to be pulled up to the Great Wall.
At this moment, they suddenly heard a strange sound.
The sound was like the earth was shaking, and it was true. The sound came from the ground.
There was a strange whisper in it, and Apollo was sure that it was the whisper of something.
At that moment, their consciousness went into a trance. In fact, it was not only them, but everyone in the Great Wall was stunned by the strange voice.
“What happened?”
Sharena asked anxiously, but then she looked at Simmons. He was in a daze, and the rope in his hand had been loosened.
