Chapter 42: Killing Cattle and Dancing
The hunting event is held every four years, and Tang Xian has never participated in it, and the last time he was in the hunting event, he made a bet with the old temporary workers in the mining area on which team would win.
Since there is no way to enter the competitive jungle of the mining area, he can only judge the winner by observing those who know the inside story.
Some people compare the hunting event to the ancient Olympic Games, and Tang Xian thinks it's nonsense.
It is true that the hunting festival is also once every four years, and it is an important activity of human beings under the civilization of the new era, but in the final analysis, it is the same as the ancient slaves fighting in the arena and pleasing the audience and slave owners with their lives.
Two hundred of the world's best hunters enter the competitive jungle of the Blue Zone, where there are a large number of enhanced creatures, various dangerous plants, and some terrifying elite creatures.
Compared to the ancient Olympic Games, there is no fair saying about hunting extravaganzas. The survival of two hundred teams and one thousand people is ultimately a competition between which team has obtained the most soul crystals.
This process is very tragic, at least in the history of hunting events, after the end of the team, the team that can get out of the competitive jungle is only half of the time when it entered.
As for whether these dead teams were killed by the beasts of the mining area, or by the humans themselves. Nobody knows.
Because the live streaming equipment can't work inside, no one knows what's going on inside.
"What do you think of the hunting extravaganza?" Tang Xian asked a rare question.
"It's a stage for honor!" Winter Dye didn't even think about it.
"What honor?"
"The ranking of the hunter team, just like the top 20 teams now, many of them actually didn't climb up by slowly hunting mining creatures, they were killed in the hunting event. Such a team will be recognized by all humans, and the rewards of the hunting event are very rich. β
Tang Xian nodded.
I also generally understand the saying of winter dyeing, and I also know why it is.
"Because I was taught to treat this kind of cannibalism as an honor, I can also understand why there were really arena fighters who indulged in arena fighting in ancient times."
"As for rankings, it's even more meaningless, and sometimes I wonder what happened to the catastrophe hundreds of years ago, human civilization has lost a lot, and many systems called postmodern culture are no longer inherited."
Tang Xian's tone was a little cold. Dong Ran was choked by Tang Xian's words. Don't know what to say.
"Have you been outside the pyramid?" Tang Xian asked a question.
"Brother Tang, what's wrong with you, I don't understand these words...... Outside the pyramid is a place of death, and I heard that many condemned prisoners are directly exiled. Of course it's impossible to go! β
"I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it. I've seen the mine not survive for seven days, but beyond the pyramids is a world where humans absolutely can't live, and I have no example. β
Dong Ran looked at Brother Tang's calm expression.
I don't know how Brother Tang thought of such a distant place from the hunting event.
Tang Xian didn't explain.
He will also have times when intuition is faster than thinking, and this phenomenon is much more likely to happen to intelligent people.
In the aftermath of the Holocaust, many institutions became more and more like those of the slave era, with technology advancing but civilization regressing.
Tang Xian actually asked many people how many layers the pyramid has at the top, and no one has an answer.
Even Li Xiaoyu back then, who was born on the sixth floor, didn't know what the top of the pyramid was and what kind of existence it lived.
The hunting extravaganza looks like a reasonable plan to purge the human gift. But in hundreds of years of education, this kind of thing has become honor and tradition.
It's not that the people around him are stupid, Tang Xian knows very well how biased people's subjective impression of an activity is when judging it after it becomes a tradition.
No one will deny how inhumane the slave owners in the Colosseum were who arranged a duel between the beasts and the slaves.
But in that era itself, the slaves thought it was honor. They are not dumber than modern people, just two words tradition, which have a lot of binding force.
Hunting is a tradition today.
Tang Xian shook his head and said, "Let's go, it's time to catch the cow." β
"Okay, Brother Tang, don't you really want to participate, if you get a good ranking in the hunting event, you will definitely be able to wash away the name of the cheater." Dong Dye still wants to insist on persuasion.
"If you rack your brains and can't figure out that the hunting festival is not a fair place for competition, then in the future you should think about it with the parts below the neck that cannot be described, and in the competitive jungle where no one can judge, and there is no law and justice, those who are stronger than you may consider letting you go."
Dong Ran blushed, isn't he also for him! Why was he so angry all of a sudden? It's so hard to hear!
NaΓ―ve people always have beautiful fantasies about the unknown, and if she really lets Dongran see the scene in the competitive jungle, I'm afraid she will have a nightmare for a month. Tang Xian didn't pay attention to it anymore, took Tang Xiaojiu's hand, and walked towards the wasteland.
He hated the hunting event, but whether to participate or not was two problems. Dong Ran said so much, in fact, there was only one sentence that Tang Xian thought was somewhat convincing.
The prizes of the hunting festival are abundant.
As for the honor, washing away the name of cheaters, he really doesn't care about these.
Everything is fate, before the team members get together, even if the rewards of the hunting festival are rich, he can't participate.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The blood-colored wasteland is actually not barren, this is the grassland, but the grassland is red, this grass is not a red line grass, it is called red heart grass, and it is the favorite food of the wasteland cattle.
This grass is actually suitable for growing in the south, and if it is planted in laterite forests, it may grow as tall as red grass.
The Wasteland Cattle are social animals, but their leader, the Ox, lives alone.
Yi Niu is a very proud cow, it is always on the high ground of the wasteland, not allowing other ordinary cattle to approach, enjoying the pleasure of "a glance of thousands of rivers and mountains".
Tang Xian thinks it's good.
Animals are stupid. Along the way, Tang Xian tried to choose a road with less red grass, which was regarded as avoiding the wasteland cattle.
The creature with the most in the blood-colored wasteland is the wasteland cow, which is simply the country of the wasteland cow. There was a smell of cow dung in the air.
Tang Xian actually wants to contract here, who doesn't want to have a natural pasture?
However, there are still many places that cannot be realized for the time being in the implementation of this plan, and Tang Xian is not in a hurry.
It's also excellent to eat the head of the bull first and suppress the shock.
The sense of smell of the cattle and the wilderness cattle is not as sensitive as that of predators, but their eyes are very good.
Some are similar to frogs, and are more sensitive to things in action.
So when he arrived in the wasteland, Tang walked very leisurely and deliberately slowed down.
The Wasteland Cow couldn't sense the breath of the demon fox, but it still didn't attack Tang Xian. Tang Xian was sure that as long as he kept moving at a certain speed, he would not attract the attention of the Wasteland Cow.
"Brother Tang Xian, there are a lot of cattle here."
Tang Xian probably guessed Tang Xiaojiu's thoughts, and said, "Not yet, you can consider keeping them in captivity in the future." β
"What does it mean to be in captivity?"
"It's the preparation you have to do before you eat them. Let them keep giving birth to calves, and then we'll always have beef to eat."
Tang Xiaojiu understood. It's really a great plan.
Dong Dye was a little worried: "These cows are rough and thick, what should we do if we can't move......"
"Don't worry, when you fight against the bull later, it will basically turn its back to you, I will give you directions, you just need to keep attacking its belly."
The heights of the moor were soon there.
The three-meter-long long-handled bull was proudly inspecting his territory, and Tang Xian led Tang Xiaojiu and walked unhurriedly.
Then Yi Niu saw Tang Xian, his eyes were wide open, and there was a bit of anger in his eyes.
Dong Ran was a little nervous, she believed in Tang Xian in her heart, but it was also the first time she had faced such a powerful creature.
Tang Xian took out a long ribbon from the prop bag and tied it around Dong Ran's waist.
"The power of the bull is very strong, if its attack hits you once, you will definitely die, its skin is very hard, and its belly is the same, but it is relatively soft, and it will take a long time this time. Okay, now stand diagonally with it. β
Winter Dye nodded.
Once the battle began, the girl had a resolute look on her face again.
Although it is the steps of a bullfight, the posture of the starting hand is indeed a dance, and the white ribbon is blown, dancing with the figure of Dong Dye, bringing out a trajectory.
Cows are creatures that are constantly changing irregularly and are highly excited.
This is especially true of the proud bull, whose front hooves trample on the dirt and accumulate strength.
Winter Dye's eyes showed various stats of Yi Niu, with 12000 health and 2400 attack power.
As Brother Tang said, this creature is very strong, difficult to kill, and has the power to kill itself with one blow.
But its speed, a few beats slower than its own.
Yi Niu charged.
"From now on, the first to sixth dance moves are cycled." Tang Xian's voice sounded.
Dong Dye had no way to respond, for this kind of life and death moment, she could only choose to believe Tang Xian.
The dance moves lightly, as if an entire maglev train is crashing towards it at maximum speed. Winter Dye's ingenious second dance step cleverly avoided the bull and felt a strong wind blowing in his face.
What a horrible collision?
She didn't pause, because she dodged the bull's lunge, but there was still the oxtail's sweep and the kick of the hind legs.
However, the third and fourth moves were equally perfect for avoiding the blow.
The fifth step is retreat, a large distance retreat, and the sixth step is homing.
At this time, Dong Ran found that he had come to the position where Yi Niu had just charged, and Yi Niu had gone to his previous position.
Tang Xian smiled.
Winter dyeing this girl, there are a lot of problems, but the execution is not bad, the dance steps are practiced very diligently, in order to make the girl more acceptable, he does try to make the dance steps look beautiful.
Especially with the fullness of the chest, when you jump up, it can make all men feel pleasing to the eye.
"Go on, the direction is reversed, one to six cycles."
Having escaped the first time, Winter Dye gained confidence.
In short, the attack power and life of this creature surpass that of a perfect creature, but its speed and endurance are far inferior to ordinary perfect creatures.
It collided once, and the ground shook, and when it ran, the wasteland and the heights trembled slightly.
But if a blow misses, the consumption of the bull is also very large.
The white ribbon swayed in the wind, and its effect was like a dog's tail grass teasing a cat. Yi Niu is very good at eating this set. Or the cows eat this set.
While admiring the bullfight and the dance, Tang Xian felt that this was double the happiness.
He was happy.
Winter dyeing is also very happy.
Every beautiful woman is a natural dancer, and she never imagined that one day she would be able to deal with a perfection-level creature with such graceful steps.
Brother Tang is really amazing, he shouldn't have experimented with such dance steps before, right? How much computing power does this have to be to ensure that it works well in practice?
Even counting every change in Yi Niu, such a collision is the seventh time, and Dong Dye feels that his physical strength is not consumed, even if he occasionally needs to stop and make up for two palms.
Yi Niu's health was reduced very little in her eyes. As a human, her attack power is less than three hundred. If you hit Yi Niu, you will also be partially offset by defense.
You also have to calculate the health recovery speed of the bull. Although she doesn't see this one option. Occasionally, however, Yi Niu's health will be restored.
The value is irregular and difficult to calculate, but it is related to the current stamina, which is variable.
In short, it is difficult to fight the life of Yi Niu, but it is true that it is being consumed little by little.
After about half an hour, the speed and endurance of Yi Niu decreased a little, and Dong Dye could also see the defensive power, which was originally one hundred and fifty, but now it has actually dropped to one hundred and thirty.
Even health did not continue to recover.
"You're ready to change your pace, and then it's going to fight back, and you have to keep cycling through the third and fourth steps. Clockwise. β
Winter Dye just nodded slightly.
There was no surprise in the future, as Tang Xian said, Yi Niu seemed to realize that his charge was ineffective, and began to attack Dong Ran with oxtail sweeps and back kicks.
Dong Dye followed Tang Xian's instructions, using the third and fourth dance steps to easily dodge, especially in the position of diagonally facing Yi Niu's abdomen, she could easily deal with hitting Yi Niu's abdomen.
Another half hour passed.
The speed of the bull is obviously much slower, and the speed of the back kick is slower, and the reaction time of Winter Dye is more.
Tang Xian said: "Okay, now you can play freely." To deal with it head-on, follow the first and second dance steps, and the third and fourth on the side, just remember it. It's best to hit the same spot every time. β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
An hour later, Yi Niu fell to the ground, panting. Its abdomen was hit with a terrible wound, its strength was gone, and a certain luster in its eyes was becoming dim little by little.
Tang Xian squatted in the distance, looking at Yi Niu.
In the sea of knowledge, there was a sudden sound of bullfighting.
"You are a being...... Why do you count me? Why do you wear me out in such a way, vile alien! β
Tang Xian smiled, this cow is really interesting. He crouched down and said:
"Who would want to eat a beef and run for a day and a night, who would want to kill a cow and jump around for two hours, do you think I would like this? If I can kill you with one sword, why should I bother to do this? Is it a normal cow to evolve into this invulnerable form as a top-notch ingredient? Do you have a little bit of the consciousness that a cow should have? β
Yi Niu froze, his cow had never met such an unreasonable person, this person actually wanted to eat himself? Still think it's hard to eat yourself?
Tang Xian had a way to kill Yi Niu directly, after all, Tang Xiaojiu had a fox fire, and the steaks were all nine minutes cooked.
But Tang Xian's favorite method of beef is to simmer it over a small heat and serve it with potatoes cooked into curry.
Regarding how to eat, Tang Xian didn't think much about it for the time being, what he had to do now was more troublesome.
For example, how to disembowel this cow.
