Chapter 820 - Bloodshed across the Prairie
Chapter 820: Bloodshed across the Prairie
“How do you feel? Can your body take it?” Qin Feng asked solemnly.
Han Mingwen shook his head. “I still have the appetite to eat a cow!”
The energy spurt did not lead to any suffering. Han Mingwen gained the power of an aptitude user almost instantly with no apparent setbacks.
Qin Feng felt relieved at last. He was once again astounded by the power veiled by this Fettered Land.
If he could harness this concealed power, the day humans returned to the pinnacle of the food chain might not be long.
But there was no need to rush. This plan could be carried out slowly. Qin Feng was not entirely selfless. Before sharing it with the world, he needed to make sure he and his corporation would get the most benefit from it first.
“Eat them up. There are still some carcasses outside. Have them processed as well and make sure everyone gets a bite. As for the extra, send them back to the colony through the tunnel!”
“Yes, President!”
Under Qin Feng’s order, Wang Cheng swiftly distributed the tasks.
The spatial passage was connected straight into a cave, so these people had no idea what the outside world looked like.
As they exited the cave, the strong bloody smell changed the looks on their faces. The initial excitement had plummeted and turned into wariness. However, other than the carcasses lying around, there was no imminent danger within sight.
“Haul them in, cleanse the bloodstains, and sprinkle beast repellent around the perimeter!”
“Roger, Captain!”
These men acted quickly. They were clearly still not a coherent group but none of them was slacking. With the hard, honest work of one hundred men, the carcasses of all fifty unicorns were stacked in front of the spatial passage in less than ten minutes. They estimated the portion needed and retained only ten bodies. The rest was sent back to Earth.
The person in charge of the laboratory waiting on the other side of the door responded immediately. They took over the experimental materials and processed them on the spot. Half of it was sent to Z’s laboratory.
Inside the cave, Li Yue once again demonstrated his exceptional cooking skills. Everyone else was busy with their respective responsibility too, especially Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng took a trip back to Fenghuang colony with several men. He went back to amass the necessities and packed them into spatial rings. He had the rings delivered into Hall Zero and ordered his subordinates to carry them over to the other side.
These included shovels, metal plates, tanks, cannonballs, charcoals, cooking utensils, and so on.
Meanwhile, while waiting for the beast to be cooked, several groups received the instruction to construct a temporary base.
Without the participation of earth ability users, the fortress built by hand might crumble easily if they were to encounter a stampede. But Wang Cheng insisted on setting up one. He intended to establish as many safety measures as possible so that these men had the best chance to survive in this foreign world.
Qin Feng was deeply pleased with Wang Cheng’s performance. Wang Chen had found the right man for the job.
“I will leave the rest to you. Be aware of your own safety. I will scout the area further!”
After Qin Feng left, the mood inside the cave became more relaxed.
Qin Feng was the president of Fengli, after all. Among them, only two had met Qin Feng before during the Prodigy Trial held in Fengli City.
The rest had never met him in person, so they behaved prudishly. With Qin Feng gone, their tensed nerves could finally be loosened a little.
“Come and eat, the food is ready!”
“Doesn’t matter if it’s half cooked. These meats must contain an unbelievable amount of energy. Eating the raw ones might have a better effect!”
“Ah, this energy… It’s incredible. Can I really become an aptitude user?”
They were highly enthused
Meanwhile, Qin Feng began to explore the wild.
On this prairie, each population made up a large herd. They gathered closely and hunted other beasts together. Herbivores similar to the unicorns were ample here. He also sighted wolf packs, tigers, and leopards. They might not be gigantic in size but their auras were for sure massive.
He scouted the area briefly with binoculars and quickly came to a conclusion—This was not an ideal living place.
A small group of jackal beasts, maybe five or six of them, would be enough to eliminate the entire troop of Qin Feng’s future soldiers.
Qin Feng could not protect these people all the time. As such, the best solution was to bloodbath the whole prairie.
However, it would be tedious to take out the herds one by one. Qin Feng would make them come to him.
It would be a piece of cake. All he needed was just some beast lure powder.
Although Qin Feng was aware that it was a rather brutal plan, he had no other feasible option.
Thus, he returned to the cave and asked Wang Cheng to prepare the powder.
Learning that Qin Feng was asking for lure instead of repellent, Wang Cheng was baffled. But he was not in the position to question his superior’s motive so he went and got it without saying another word.
“All of you can return to Fengli first. I will call for you when everything is ready here!” said Qing Feng.
Wang Cheng gave it a thought and objected, “We should stay. At the very least, we can help you carry the carcasses. Don’t worry, we will take good care of ourselves and not be your burden!”
Qin Feng did not reject the request. Wang Cheng and most of them were just civilians. It was better to introduce them to the harsh world sooner than later.
Of course, Wang Cheng had sprinkled a thick layer of repelling powder at the entrance of the cave.
Qin Feng, on the other hand, opened the lure beast powder at the edge of a puddle hundreds of meters away from the cave. The scent wafted instantly.
A few years back when Qin Feng was framed by someone in Sea City, he had used Sea Extract to stimulate the sea beasts. Naturally, he was not using the same type of pheromone this time.
But they should all work the same.
‘Now we wait and see whether the beasts in this dimension would fall for it.’
They emerged almost instantaneously.
The hunters on this prairie were the first to approach. These wolves sniffed and looked toward Qin Feng. They were bemused as they did not see the prey they were coming for. They started to run wild. Qin Feng, naturally, became their only target.
The wolves dashed at him.
Without surprise, Qin Feng hardly broke a sweat and dealt with them effortlessly.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The sound of frisking was heard approaching not long after the wolves were killed. It belonged to a group of herbivores.
Qin Feng charged on and left no creature alive.
Next to the winding waterfall beside the cave, Wang Cheng fired a crossbow and caught a wolf carcass neatly. The arrow pierced into the flesh and was stuck there.
The end of the arrow was tied to a thick rope.
“Pull it back!”
“Yes!”
The civilians behind Wang Cheng immediately pulled the carcass back. Then, it was stacked aside and prepared for delivery.
But their movements were too slow as compared to Qin Feng. When they finally pulled back the eighth body, Qin Feng had done slaughtering another herd.
The smell of blood gradually smeared the prairie. It intensified the lure and triggered more beasts to swarm over in his direction.
Qin Feng’s massacre began.
On this prairie, the strongest beast was not even B-tier. Without any concern that would hold him back, Qin Feng was free to kill in this land as he pleased.
