Chapter 405: Passed Smoothly
After a night of playing, Medea was noticeably more cheerful, and she no longer seemed too bored when she locked herself in the tower to study.
After the freshness of the first day, Zheng Shu did the work of feeding the medicine alone in the next two days, after all, Medea still had more important things to deal with.
Boom!
At night, in the empty cowshed, Zheng Shu kicked open the door.
The house where the two sacred cows lived had not yet been repaired, so they could only sleep in the makeshift house next to the ruins for the time being, and after hearing the sound of Zheng Shu kicking the door, they couldn't help but shiver, and even the flames burning on their bodies were obviously dimmed.
"Come out, take your medicine!"
With Zheng Shu's shout, the two sacred cows walked out of the temporary house with a twist, looking like little girls who were afraid of life.
In fact, on the second day, these two sacred cows didn't have this attitude towards Zheng Shu, but after not having Medea's observation, Zheng Shu let go a little.
He didn't do much, just beat the two sacred cows for three hours, during which he used the Resuscitation Divine Instinct to help them heal their injuries and keep them in a state where they could feel the pain clearly.
Then the two sacred cows became much more docile and completely obeyed the command.
Zheng Shu put the two bottles of potion that had been pulled out and placed on the ground in front of the sacred cow, and the two sacred cows honestly lay in front of Zheng Shu, staring at him with their pitiful little eyes with teary eyes, trying to arouse the pity of the guy in front of him who may never have existed.
It's a pity that Zheng Shu himself is absolutely human supremacist, so he is indifferent at all.
After realizing that it was impossible for them to reverse the mind of the guy in front of them, the sacred cows could only drink the smearing potion without love, and even swallowed the bottle containing the potion altogether.
Then he ran to the side with a vague step, and dug a hole with his trembling hind legs.
Puff puff puff!
With a foul smell, the two sacred cows turned into Splatoon warriors as if they had eaten Wallace, and one of them even fell to the ground involuntarily because he was too weak to be sprayed for several days.
Zheng Shu glanced at the listless two sacred cows and nodded with satisfaction, then covered his nose and left.
After all, this was only the first round of spraying, and according to the potion potion, they should have to spray for another half night, and he wasn't here to watch.
As the so-called heroes can't hold up the three bubbles, they will be splatoon warriors for three consecutive days, no matter how strong these sacred cows are, there will be no one in ten.
By the time they fight Iason tomorrow, let alone the rage, they can stand up because these two guys are physically strong enough.
Zheng Shu even clearly felt that the flames burning on the two sacred cows had also become much dimmer, and the temperature had also dropped significantly, compared to the previous high temperature that could melt gold and iron, it was probably barely able to heat water now.
Yi Asong is also a strong man under the command of Teacher Karon, no matter what, he can still fight in the face of such an enemy.
……
……
The next morning.
On the field next to the cowshed.
Yi Azon stood in the middle of the field with his hands on his chest, looking confident, as if he was not worried about the next trial at all.
Zheng Shu had already explained his plan to Yi Asong last night, and he had continued to feed the two sacred cows for the past three days, and the other party had already been empty.
All he had to do was stand here and knock them down.
But having said that, Yi Ah Song is still a little worried, after all, he has not actually dealt with the sacred cow, so he naturally does not know how much strength the other party has after being weakened, it seems to be as stable as an old dog, but in fact, he is panicked in his heart.
"But there is no way to quit at this point, I can only trust him and try to pass the test."
Iason tried his best to calm his heart, but when he quietly looked up at the heroes of the Argo in the distance, a few bruises erupted in his angry head.
"Those bastards!"
The guys gathered on a viewing platform that had just been erected next to the field, and they looked quite happy, without any worries, as if they just wanted to watch the play.
Many people even have wine glasses and barbecue meat in their hands, and it looks like this place is a banquet.
However, this is also normal, after all, the test of Aetheus is only for Iason, and the other heroes have already completed a journey, for them, the success of Iason will not affect their own merits at all.
The main thing is that their captain succeeds, then it is a perfect trip, and if their captain fails, it means that they have "turned the tide, but they still can't drag the other scrap teammates".
Some people have even figured out two sets of rhetoric and are just waiting to go back and brag carefully with others.
Fortunately, among these people, the tall figure still behaved very seriously and did not make any superfluous movements.
When he felt Yi Ah Song looking at him, Zheng Shu also gave him a thumbs up.
"Senior brother, ......"
With Zheng Shu's encouragement, Iasong made up his mind to clench his fists and looked at Eetes, who was high above him on the other side.
"Dear King Colchis, I'm ready for the test."
Aetheus was also dressed quite gorgeously today, with a full suit of armor, a helmet with four golden feathers on his head, and a huge heavy shield covered with four layers of cowhide.
This is the equipment he usually uses to harness the sacred cow for farming, relying on the magic applied on the shield, Aetes can become unafraid of fire, and his own immense power can easily subdue the sacred cow.
No matter what is on his mind, today is also a very important day, so Aetes dressed up a little more ceremoniously to save the scene in case of some accidents.
"It looks like you're very confident, so let me see where your confidence comes from!" Aetheus stood up and waved his hand, "Let's go!" ”
Armed with a spear and shield, he wore a Bluetooth-studded helmet and a sword slung diagonally over his shoulder.
Looking at the cowshed in front of him, he took a deep breath...... Then I was choked.
"Damn, this stinks...... Why is it heavier than a regular bullpen? ”
Iason propped his gun on the ground and felt his tears fall.
I didn't expect the nest where the top demonic beast was located to be so stinky, and the smell just now was inhaled into his nose, and he was caught off guard and almost fainted on the spot.
Finally adjusted his mentality and stepped back into the bullpen, the first thing that caught Iason's eye was the set of yoke and plowshares for oxen to plough the field placed next to him, but compared with ordinary farm tools, not only was it several times larger, but it was also made of pure iron, which looked unusually heavy.
Yi Asong's face became more solemn just by looking at these farm tools, and from this he could see how terrifying the power of the two sacred cows was.
And the house on the other side, which has been reduced to ruins, can also show how irritable the temper of these two sacred cows is (sacred cow: wronged).
Looking at Iason, who had already entered, Eetes, who was sitting on the temporary throne, was so nervous, although he had also made a lot of preparations, but the old king, who didn't know Iason's true ability, was still a little weak-hearted.
In case this guy really can't hold up the wall and really loses the trial, Aetheus is afraid that those gods will really do the tricks.
But at this point, he could only pray that Iasong would really pass the trial.
Glancing at the makeshift cowshed, with his extraordinary eyesight, Aetes could see the two sacred cows lying on the ground languishing, even if they had already smelled the breath of strangers, they did not have any desire to attack at all.
But this is understandable, after such a terrible torture, it is difficult for even a top-level demonic beast to stand up again.
Aetheus had quietly come to see what the guy named Zheng Shu was doing, and even the well-informed old king was terrified when he saw the other party use such a brutal method.
On the other hand, Eetes was also a little happy in his heart, after all, seeing the bad luck of these two sacred cows that disturbed Colchis every day, King Eetes couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.
"You two bastards disturb my sleep every morning."
But now is the time for them to act, and it is not okay to look so sickly.
Aetes nodded to a man beside him who had completely wrapped himself in his robes, and the other understood what he meant, reaching out and lightly tapping the ground with the staff in his hand.
An imperceptible crimson light instantly spread out, and immediately converged into their bodies after encountering the two sacred cows, turning into various amplification magic.
Bloodlust, Berserk, Fury......
A series of magic spells that only affected the consciousness, but did not provide any power to the body, were applied to the body of the sacred cow, causing the sacred cow, which was originally paralyzed on the ground, to jump up immediately.
"Moo!"
Rumble!
Fierce flames erupted from the bodies of the two sacred cows, and in an instant, they swept away the cowshed that had been improvised for them.
Yi Asong swallowed unconsciously, looking at the scorched marks on the ground and the house that had just been blown away, he felt that his scalp was a little numb.
"Zheng Shu won't be lying to me......"
Before he could begin to suspect Zheng Shu, two sacred cows had already noticed his presence, they were covered in flames, their heads bowed and their horns held high, and they spread their hooves and rushed towards Yi Asong.
Before the two sides could make contact, two pillars of fire erupted from the nostrils of the two sacred cows and struck towards Yi Asong.
"it!"
Without hesitation, Iasong rolled on the ground to avoid the flames, and the sacred cows were already rushing towards him with sharp horns.
Under the crisis, Iason's potential was once again maximized, he dodged the charge from the gap between the two cows with a sideways turn, and took the opportunity to grab the horn of one of the cows and turn over the cow's back, picked up the shield in his hand and smashed it on the head of the sacred cow.
Bang Bang Bang!
The shield and the cow's skull collided with each other, making a metallic crashing sound, indicating that Iason hadn't done much damage to it at all
However, these two sacred cows had been pulling for three days because of the potions, and they had no strength, and because of the magic performed by the people around Aetheus, they used the last bit of physical strength to go berserk, and now they are at the end of their crossbows.
So the sacred cow, which originally looked extremely fierce and brave, immediately fell to his knees after being smashed on the head a few times by Yi Asong, and after rolling on the ground a few times, there was no movement.
The audience around Colchis exclaimed, no one thought that this inconspicuous-looking guy could clean up such a fierce sacred cow in two or three clicks.
And after Yi Asong rolled and dodged a distance, he couldn't believe it when he looked at the sacred cow that fell to the ground.
Not to mention that judging from the feeling of smashing just now, he didn't cause much damage to the other party at all, in fact, Yi Asong already regretted it when he rode on the back of the cow just now.
At that moment, he was just following his instincts, but the two cows were wrapped in blazing flames, and if they were to ride up, they would not be made into roast meat on the spot.
However, the truth was a little different from what he thought, although the back of the sacred cow was very hot, but the flames around it felt like it was just a spectacle, and it was not lethal at all.
"Do you mean...... Brother, benefactor. ”
Yi Ah Song immediately figured out the truth, and didn't care about what Zheng Shu did, Yi Ah Song, who had been freed from the life and death crisis, once again exposed his angry nature.
Fortunately, the other sacred cow did not have much strength, and he pretended to grab the horns of the cow and wrestle with each other for a while, and then lost his strength and lay on the ground.
Sweating profusely, Iason got up from the cow, threw away his equipment, and walked around the pen, waving to the surrounding spectators, enjoying their cheers.
Aetheus was also satisfied to see him successfully complete the first round of trials, but he was a little unhappy to see Iason's arrogant appearance.
"The good thing is...... I've already set this kid a clear mission. ”
A wicked smile appeared on Aetes' face.
"Yi Asong, have you forgotten the content of our trial, this is only the first step, you still have to control the sacred cow to plow the four acres of land and plant the dragon's teeth within today."
Eetes is worthy of being the lord of a country, and his unwilling tone is imitated so vividly that people think that the king is dying at first listen.
Iason, too, walked unhurriedly to the center of the bullpen and saluted in the direction of Aetes.
"Dear King Colchis, rest assured, I have not forgotten the content of the trial, this is just a ritual after the defeat of a strong enemy on my country's side."
Aetes didn't speak again, just waved him with a cold face and let him continue the trial.
Eason triumphantly came to the side of the two sacred cows, and then he was dumbfounded.
He remembered that he hadn't used much strength before, but now the two sacred cows in front of him were lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth, their bodies convulsed, and they were basically on the verge of dying and comatose.
This......
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is a fool's dream to expect these two cows to plough the land now.
So what to do?
Glancing at the two sets of farm tools next to him, which might have more than ten tons, Yi Asong, who had thought that it was a good thing that these two cows had no strength, suddenly regretted it a little.
No way......
……
……
The sun had begun to set in the west, and a reddish afterglow stained the sky.
There were a lot fewer onlookers around the bullpen, and at first people were amazed that the hero was able to pull such a heavy farm tool alone, but after a long time, it was quite boring to watch a person plow the land, so gradually the crowd dispersed.
The only people left outside the bullpen now were Zheng Shu and Aeetes and his entourage.
The reason why Zheng Shu didn't leave was not only to help Yi Asong cheat in the battle with the Dragon Tooth Soldiers in the future, but also to deter the sacred cow who had come to his senses.
Because of his reasons, the two sacred cows, who had already woken up, continued to lie on the ground and pretended to be dead, resolutely refusing to get up.
Because of this, Yi Asong could only rely on his own manpower and drag heavy farm tools to plough four acres of land.
Well...... That's right, it's just to deter the sacred cow, and it's definitely not because you want to see Yi Asong unlucky.
The old king on the other side was much more upright, for he had said from the beginning that the reason why he stayed was to see the bad luck of this fellow, and he still watched him plough the land with relish.
Just by looking at Iason's sad and angry face, Aetes felt that he could eat two more boar legs.
Because it was a man-made farm, the speed was very slow, so by the time Iason planted all the dragon teeth, it was already dark.
This time, Iasong didn't have any idea of showing off at all, mainly because there were no people around him to show off.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was still some time before the dragon tooth soldiers grew, he quickly ran to Zheng Shu's side, found the leftovers from the previous heroes' banquet, and ate and drank coldly.
Holding the sheep's head and nibbling hard, and pouring a large glass of wine, Yi Azon felt his throat calm down like a burning fire.
He hadn't eaten anything all day, and had done a day's heavy work, and if he hadn't had two brushes himself, he would probably have fallen on the ground long ago.
"Senior brother...... What about the rest? ”
While eating, Yi Asong asked Zheng Shu with some concern.
He originally thought that the most difficult thing would be to solve the problem of the sacred cow, but he didn't expect that it didn't cost him much effort to knock down the sacred cow, and he was tired half to death by plowing the land.
And when he actually planted it, he found out what a terrifying number of dragon tooth soldiers on four acres of land was.
If it was only one or two hundred dragon tooth soldiers, he would still have the confidence to deal with them, but even if Yi Asong played a little clever trick and planted the dragon tooth soldiers very sparsely, he had planted thousands of them himself just now.
With so many dragon tooth soldiers, he can't finish fighting even if he dies of exhaustion!
"Don't worry, I've been prepared for this."
Zheng Shu touched his body, took out two more bottles of potion and threw them to Yi Asong.
"You drink this when you're ready to fight, these two potions can greatly increase your combat effectiveness, of course, at the cost of lying down for a few days."
"Really?!"
"Of course, you have to trust my skills."
Zheng Shu silently added in his heart: "After all, Eetes specially replaced those dragon tooth seeds with defective products. ”
Potions that increase strength are real, but even Medea, who is the best at refining potions, is unrealistic to want to make potions that increase a person's strength by more than ten times, even at the cost of the user lying in bed for a few days later.
Fortunately, all Zheng Shu and Aetheus needed was an excuse, an excuse for why Iaxon was able to defeat a large group of dragon tooth soldiers.
What really worked was that Aetes had replaced the dragon tooth that Iason needed to plant for a defective product in the first place.
So Zheng Shu was not surprised that Yi Ah Song could pass the trial, after all, the invigilators had cheated in person, so how could they not pass.
While the two were talking, there was movement in the distance on the land that had just been planted with dragon teeth.
One by one, the dirt bags began to bulge, and finally crawled out of the two-meter-tall cold tooth soldiers.
However, although the thousands of dragon tooth soldiers on four acres of land looked terrifying, Zheng Shu could see at a glance that these dragon tooth soldiers themselves were just looking at bluffing.
The bones of a Dragontooth Soldier were covered in tiny cracks, and while they seemed to give them the intimidating power of a veteran of a hundred battles, in reality, it meant that their bones, which should have been harder than steel, were already fragile.
And the size is also much smaller, Zheng Shu has seen the appearance of the dragon tooth soldiers planted by Aetes before, and the dragon tooth soldiers that were temporarily summoned during the Holy Grail War, each dragon tooth soldier planted by Aetes is a giant dragon tooth soldier of more than three meters.
Not only is the bone hardness and strength far greater than that of ordinary dragon tooth soldiers, but they all come with their own blades and shields, and they even have a certain degree of intelligence and can arrange troops.
In the face of a dragon tooth legion of this level, even a strong man like Aetes would need to control two sacred cows as chariots to completely disperse them.
However, correspondingly, the materials bred in the body of this level of dragon tooth soldier are much better than ordinary dragon tooth soldiers, and if you are lucky, you can also "burst" a man from it.
True, there is something wrong with the country itself, and the babies they give birth to rarely give birth to males.
Therefore, the main source of men in this country is that after the king defeats the dragon's tooth soldiers, he sees if any male babies grow in the bones by the way.
According to Aetes, the reason why the male baby was found in the body of the dragontooth soldier was because of the blessing of the goddess of magic, Hekate.
From this, you can also see how terrifying the magic technique of the goddess of magic Hekat is, anyway, with Zheng Shu's current level of magic, he can't understand how to do it.
However, this information is naturally unclear to Yi Asong, and he still can't help but shudder after seeing such a large dragon tooth legion, but in the end, he is ruthless and pours the two bottles of potion that Zheng Shu gave him together.
As soon as the potion was drunk, it took effect immediately, and Yi Asong felt that his body was full of strength, and his original timidity was also shielded away, and the whole person was instantly filled with courage.
"Oh oh oh!"
Irritated by the potions, Iason picked up his spear and rushed into the field, while the dragontooth soldiers, who had just grown out of the ground, saw the intruder and fought with him like a vicious dog fighting for food.
Naturally, there is no need to go into detail about the process of fighting, these deliberately reduced dragon tooth soldiers are not only lacking in strength, but also have a certain gap in intelligence.
There were only a few dragon tooth soldiers fighting with Yi Asong, and most of them were actually fighting each other, and they were indistinguishable.
It's only a matter of time before Iason's victory comes.
