Chapter 733: 733
Little Silver's answer made everyone immediately freeze in place .
Odd Zhuo had specially done his homework before entering Beast King's Remains, and in particular had studied the map of the eastern region of Beast King's Remains which scientific research teams had already explored previously .
So Odd Zhuo knew that the soil in this forest was of edible quality…
This wasn't a secret . The last time an expedition team had explored Beast King's Remains, they had posted information on the soil on the state's authoritative scientific data website . It was said that in order to confirm the soil's functional use, the research team had specially engaged the food critic Yuan Zhou to taste it .
After eating the soil, Yuan Zhou said that his eyesight was clearer, his back was better and it seemed that even his skin was more delicate than before – these powerful effects were produced on the spot .
However, Yuan Zhou also said that after eating the soil, if he was grading how unpalatable it was on a scale from one to ten…
This soil was an eleven…
Thus, before coming to the remains, Odd Zhuo had actually been quite curious about how unpalatable the soil was and wanted to have a taste .
But after listening to what Little Silver had said, Odd Zhuo broke out in a cold sweat right away .
"Why are you so sure?" Odd Zhuo looked at Little Silver and asked .
Little Silver pinched his nose and said, "Human cultivators who smell this soil probably think it smells very, very appetizing! But for us who grew up in the holy beast village, we would come in contact with Devil King when the village had its annual meeting . Once you encountered Devil King and then smelled this soil, it smells bad! Stinks like shit!"
After saying this, Little Silver felt that his words were a little ambiguous, so he hurriedly corrected himself . "Ah, wrong, it's shit to begin with!"
Odd Zhuo: "Why did Devil King leave a pile… here…"
Little Silver casually pressed his nostrils and sealed his sense of smell before folding his arms with a knowing expression on his face . "The remains were originally the tomb Devil King left behind for himself . When he had been building the tomb back then, he had taken into consideration a lot of fengshui issues, and some of the spirit plants and whatnot had to be specially arranged . It was precisely because of fengshui that His Highness Beast King decided to create a whole forest . But he also suffered a lot to build the forest . "
"Could it be that these trees can only grow in this 'soil'?" Fatty Luo theorized .
"That's one reason, but that wasn't the hardest part . "
Little Silver nodded and then said, "In order to build this forest, the most difficult part for His Highness Beast King was to hoard his shit . "
Everyone: "…"
For some reason, Odd Zhuo suddenly found that he already couldn't look directly at this soil on the ground which smelled so fragrant he had once wanted to try it .
. . .
The picnic activity in the evening was basically DIY cooking that students would carry out under the guidance of the lead teachers . Most of the small groups used local ingredients to cook vegetable and spirit fruit soup, but the taste of the soup depended on how the students combined the ingredients together . The lead teachers' guidance was nothing more than helping to check if students had put poisonous spirit plants in their soups .
Even if they had, it wasn't a big deal, but the summer camp experience would also count to their overall study points . If students did put poisonous spirit plants in their soups, they would lose points .
And these overall points would directly affect their evaluation for graduation from high school .
While collecting spirit fruit, Little Peanut came up with a lot of ideas for cooking them, but Super Chen and Dopey Guo didn't have any appetite .
This was because when they were collecting the fruit, these two people hadn't been able to resist the temptation of the sweet soil underfoot and couldn't help eating some – in the end, they almost spat it out .
The scene reminded Wang Ling of a magical lyric: "Have you ever eaten tasty baked gluten (soil)…"
Super Chen and Dopey Guo in fact weren't the only ones who were affected . A lot of the other students hadn't been able to resist the temptation of this "edible soil" and had tried it on the sly, only to still feel a little nauseated until now .
According to Super Chen, this stuff was salty and had a fishy smell, like salted fish that had been fermented for one thousand years in lao tan pickled cabbage beef noodles… The taste was completely different to how it smelled!
And it was because of this taste that many students directly had no appetite that night .
