Hua Rong nodded and said with a smile: "Whether it is true or not, let's just think of them as Kui cattle. Just give them a name, otherwise you can't always call them the Hornless Bull Demon King. Moreover, they are actually very docile... ..." Hua Rong's comment was beyond my expectation. Unexpectedly, Xiao Qian was one step ahead of me and asked: "They are so powerful, why are they so docile?" Hua Rong smiled and replied: "I'll check it out later. On the body of the Kui cow, I found that it had no sharp claws, and its huge teeth were not used for biting. They should be herbivores, or they might eat plankton, snails, etc." I shook my head: "That's not right. Brother Hua, if Kui Niu grows so big and only eats grass and poor gadgets, it will need a very broad territory to maintain its metabolism." Hua Rong suddenly smiled strangely and said with a little excitement: "Zhi Duoxing, wait a minute. Once I tell you what I have discovered, you will change your mind." I shrugged and asked Hua Rong to continue telling the story about him and the cook.
That day, Hua Rong carefully examined Kui Niu's body, hoping to find its weakness. The result surprised Hua Rong. Hua Rong's three precise shots all hit Kui Niu's eyes, but judging from the traces, two bullets hit the first layer of Kui Niu's eyelids, leaving two less obvious marks. The other bullet directly hit the second transparent membrane of Kui Niu's eye and penetrated half of it. It was equivalent to blinding one of Kui Niu's eyes, but it did not cause direct fatal injuries. . Eventually the Kui cow got an eye infection, which means the Kui cow died of a bacterial infection.
What happened next made Hua Rong even more depressed. Hua Rong's knife couldn't cut the Kui Niu's skin at all. Even if Hua Rong destroyed the power of nine cows, two tigers and one dragon, it could only cut off a little bit of the outer layer of the Kui Niu's skin. Later, Hua Rong called the foreigner back, fetched the engineering shovel, mounted the saw, and quietly sawed for a whole day before he managed to cut off a small piece of skin. Hua Rong originally planned to cut off another piece of meat and eat it, but the meat of Kui Niu was very strange. It didn't look like normal meat, but rather like muscle fibers made of soft and tough tree vines. As the saying goes, cattails are as tough as silk, but the muscle fibers are not only tough, but also very solid, and Hua Rong still can't cut them. Seeing that it was getting late, Hua Rong had to give up first. Come back the next day.
In the evening, Hua Rong studied the cut piece of skin carefully and couldn't help but admire the ingenuity of nature. If human beings were so powerful, they could still walk sideways on this planet even without any weapons. So Hua Rong discussed with the cook and tried to bring back more Kui Niu carcasses the next day. Maybe they can be made into specimens and sent back to scientists to study new materials.
But when Hua Rong went on an adventure again the next day, not only Hua Rong was confused, but Master Yang was also confused. The huge Kui Niu carcass had collapsed a lot. There are a lot of radial sand and gravel in the surrounding area. After Hua Rong confirmed that there was no danger, he quickly stepped forward to check. Something unimaginable unfolded before our eyes - Kui Niu, which was originally muscular and strong, had become empty inside, leaving only a small amount of huge skeleton, a lot of powder, gravel, and a huge picture. Skin. Hua Rong had no choice but to gather more people and quietly and carefully transport the Kui cow's skin back for study. The skeleton was too heavy to be moved, and we didn't dare to dismantle it in a big way, so we had to give up.
Due to the cook's amnesia, Hua Rong himself had only scratched the surface of his research on "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". Therefore, it is impossible to understand why Kui Niu's body became like this after one night. And the foreign adults over there also began to work hard to separate the skin of Kui cattle. I plan to make it into an armor shield or something. Hua Rong is also studying how to find a way for ordinary people to defeat Kui Niu. After all, no matter how rare and precious Kui cattle are, they can kill. Although they have no interest in humans.
Thanks to Hua Rong, who entered the military school through the imperial examination, he had solid knowledge and basic skills. Hard work pays off. In line with the principle that all things are interdependent, Hua Rong experimented countless times and finally discovered that the juice of a certain small, inconspicuous fruit has an excellent ability to decompose the skin of Kui cattle. In less than a minute, the juice can penetrate and soften the Kui cow's skin. The soft Kui cowhide can't stop humans' cold weapons at all, let alone hot weapons. Things seemed to be going relatively smoothly, but a new episode appeared later, and there were not many of those fruits. Since human civilization has long since degraded, there are no laboratories that can analyze its specific components. Therefore, it can only be used sparingly and cannot be equipped on a large scale.
So, under Hua Rong's command, the foreign adults spent a lot of time traveling everywhere they could, collecting as many small fruits as possible. And under Huarong's instruction, he began to plant that plant on a large scale. After the projectile equipment to deal with Kui Niu was ready, Hua Rong instructed the foreigners to make protective isolation devices to isolate Kui Niu. They worked step by step, fought steadily, and advanced step by step.
Hua Rong led Master Yang and chose a backwater bay. From there, the projectile device was set up. Just as everyone was preparing carefully and intensively, another funny thing happened - the Kui cowhide that had seemed indestructible before turned into powder and granules. It's like a mixture of stone powder and sand.
Hua Rong seemed to realize that as long as the skin of Kui Niu was broken, it would die and then quickly fade away. I calculated the date and found it was about nine days. In other words, after the Kui Niu dies, its skin will weather into pieces like its meat nine days later. It seems that there is no hope of making shields and armors, but building houses can still be considered. The built house will probably not fall down in a single earthquake.
So, when the opportunity came, Hua Rong used the projectile device to conduct a test attack on a group of Kui cattle in the area. Since the projection accuracy is not high, the consumption of fruit juice is still very large, but at least it has been verified that this method is effective. A few days later, two more Kui cattle with corroded skin were pushed to the shore, although they were some distance away from the location of the attack.
This success gave both Hua Rong and Master Yang confidence. In the end, with their unremitting efforts, the Kui Niu no longer dared to step into the backwater bay. Hua Rong asked the Yang adults to plant that kind of plants on the shore of the backwater bay, and taught the Yang adults who no longer knew how to fish to build nets, make rafts, and adjust the refractive index of the water to spear and shoot fish. After some operations, the people here finally have enough water, and Hua Rong and the cook can take hot baths every day. A large number of fish resources have also qualitatively improved their lives. However, the whereabouts of Xiaoqian and I are unknown, and the cook has been losing his memory. This is Hua Rong's heartache.
Monster harassment, water source safety, convenience, etc. are all taken into consideration. Hua Rong ordered eighteen foreigners with the best physical fitness to follow Hua Rong and continue to open up new territories. On the one hand, Hua Rong wanted to find Xiao Qian and me as soon as possible, even if the hope was slim. On the other hand, everyone is uneasy about staying in that small area and exploring outside. Who knows what they will gain. The remaining foreign adults, in addition to daily production, began to dismantle the old houses and build new living places at a safe distance of about 500 meters from the backwater bay.
At this point, Xiao Qian couldn't help but ask: "General Hua, how much territory have you opened up?" Hua Rong smiled bitterly: "Oh, this is embarrassing to say. I asked Mr. Xiang Yang before whether they have been They all live in this area. The foreign people have someone who specializes in recording this area. He said that their ancestors were brought here by a big earthquake and could not leave later. He also described how prosperous their ancestors were. "I couldn't help but ask: "Brother Hua, have you found the ruins of their ancestors?" At this time, the cook took over and said, "No, Zhi Duoxing. I followed Hua Rong and tried to pass through that place many times. A land of flames and demons, but all failed. In the end, due to too many casualties, we... gave up." I was startled and asked in surprise: "Brother, have you recovered your memory?" The cook burst out laughing. , and shook his head: "Zhi Duoxing, I only remember what happened later, and I can't remember what happened before. Sometimes I can recall some fragmented memories, but they can't piece together a complete thing at all." I comforted After looking at the cook, he asked Hua Rong: "Brother Hua, then, according to those foreign masters, where is the so-called land of the Fire Demon where the ruins of their ancestors are? Morgoth?"
