Chapter 253: Pig 4
Food and freedom, even for human beings, is a difficult choice. It's not unreasonable for Ironhoof and his people to give up their freedom for food, and they all end up slaughtering and eating anyway.
But for Jiang Ping, Liu Kuo, and all the human soldiers, this is really good. Everyone was ready to hunt pigs all over the mountains - the scene was too sour.
After a night of silence, the convoy continued to set off the next day. Prior to this, humans fed the pig essence with flour as agreed. There was still a surplus of food on the coast, and the soldiers were well supplied. Iron Hoof let go of the remaining vigilance and took the initiative to cooperate. His people honestly slept in the carriages, and he himself became an honorable leader.
Iron Hoof pointed out the Fanged King's control range on the map, and Jiang Ping saw that the territory of this fang was really not small, thousands of square kilometers. Ironhoof advises everyone to move around the waterfront, as the area is inhabited by the same large white pigs as him. Pigs also have a hierarchy, and white pigs like Iron Hoof have the lowest status and are the most hungry, so the desire to run away is very strong.
But you can't go any further to the center. Not only was it guarded by the Fanged King's generals, but the tribe was also different from Ironhoof, and he would be despised there and unable to convince the pigs.
Now that the plan had been decided, Jiang Ping ordered the convoy to continue to set off. Everyone marched along the outskirts of the Fanged King's domain. Away from the main road, the road is not smooth. But there are always continuous paths in the woods, so that the convoy does not get stuck and cannot move.
After a few hours of marching, the stench of the pigsty became more and more intense, and it appeared that there were a large number of pigs nearby. Liu Kuo jumped on the roof of the car and looked around on the front of the moving car. Passing over some sparse trees, he saw the grass and trees swaying along the banks of a river, as if something was moving.
The convoy stopped temporarily, and Liu Kuo went with iron hooves. If it is a pig, Iron Hoof can convince them to follow the humans away. But when Liu Kuo arrived at the ground, he found that three yellow-faced and thin-skinned humans were mowing grass with baskets on their backs.
It seems to be a human who was captured by the Fanged King to feed the pigs.
Liu Kuo brought the three to the convoy to explain their intentions, and the three were in tears, nibbling on cakes and crying about their encounters.
These people were originally human beings who took risks and went out of the city alone to hunt for treasure. As a result, the treasure was not found, but he was captured and became a slave to feed the pigs, which can really be described as a creation and a trick. These three people need to serve 500 pigs in a nearby base, and the workload is huge, and they are simply social animals.
If these pigs are not fed, they themselves will be eaten. But there was no food here, so they could only pick some fruits and mushrooms between cutting pigweed.
All in all, it is a very poor working environment and a serious violation of labor laws. There were originally five people working together, but two of them had been eaten by a hungry herd. The remaining three people were on the verge of collapse, and if Liu Kuo didn't come again, they suspected that they wouldn't live for three days.
"Then why don't you run away? ”
Jiang Ping asked. Although there are many monsters in this wilderness, there is still a chance to escape.
One of them raised his wrist to show the crowd that there was a biting wound on it. The wound was black and stinking. This is the tooth mark left by the Fanged King, and it also carries the special toxin it leaves behind. As soon as these humans leave the territory of the Fanged King, they will be poisoned and killed instantly.
Jiang Ping and Liu Kuo have neither learned the treatment type of technique, and they can't detoxify them, maybe Xiang Fei will have some way to do it. The two pondered for a moment, it was still important to complete the task.
The three slaves led the convoy to a pig colony half a mile away, and to a surprise, it was actually the site of a former pig farm. Seeing the three slaves who were mowing the grass coming back from a distance, the pigs suddenly stirred. They are neatly lined up in front of the trough, waiting to be fed. Jiang Ping noticed that almost all the pigs were skinny, just like the iron hooves looked like they had at the beginning.
It's heart-wrenching!
The pigweed cut back this time was obviously far from enough, and the pig spirits snorted loudly, red eyes to eat the three slaves. At this time, the convoy hurriedly moved out all the remaining bread and fed it, which barely controlled the scene.
Iron Hoof took the opportunity to come forward and persuade. I saw him burrow into the herd of pigs, bumping and leaning westward, humming and chirping for a long time, and most of these lazy brutes walked out of the pigsty and slowly approached the convoy.
"These are willing to follow humans back to the city. "Iron Hoof leaned over to ask for credit," the requirements are still the same, they must be full before slaughtering, otherwise they will riot. ”
Jiang Ping nodded and ordered the soldiers to open the carriage. The pigs climbed in line into the carriage. Because of their short legs, all the soldiers had to push their butts in the back to climb up.
Liu Kuo looked at such a grand occasion and said with emotion: "Iron Hoof, you are an out-and-out traitor, no, a pig rape!"
Iron Hoof snorted: "Lord Human, what you said is not right, I am also for the good of everyone~ History will remember my achievements today, and future generations will affirm my good intentions." ”
Liu Kuo shrugged: "Okay, as long as you can convince yourself." ”
At the end of the count, there were now more than 400 pigs, and more than a dozen trucks were full. Now we have to go home and rush back to the coast as soon as possible, because the dry food brought out by the car is basically exhausted. If you can't feed these beasts, it will be very troublesome, after all, they are all for the sake of being fed and even don't want to die.
The three slaves hoped that the convoy could take them away, which made Jiang Ping a little difficult, and he couldn't detoxify it. One of the slaves cried that everyone was willing to die a decent death. Because if you die here, you will be eaten by pigs, and if you die in the city, you can at least be buried alive.
Since they had made such a choice, the cultivators could not object to it, so they beckoned them to get on the bus. Everyone rectified for a while, and then went home. Judging by the distance, it will take at least twenty hours to get back to the beach, and hopefully the pigs won't go hungry too quickly.
In fact, humans were still too optimistic, and in less than ten hours, the pigs in the carriage began to howl noisily. The ironhoof translated, saying that every meal that is good is full, and if they don't give anything to eat, they will riot and eat up the human race.
The human side is naturally not afraid of these lowly pig demons, and the soldiers have divine light swords in their hands, and they can kill a large area with a single sword. Some of the soldiers suggested that the pigs should be slaughtered here, and the meat would be sent back anyway.
But Jiang Ping believes that human beings cannot be discredited in this matter. Because he has a hunch that such a transaction will definitely be done often in the future, if this time is not handled well and is known by other pig spirits, he may not be so cooperative in the future.
It happened that the convoy was by a small stream, and on both sides of the water grew large areas of emerald green folded ear roots. Jiang Ping immediately ordered the soldiers to get out of the car and cut the pigweed, including two cultivators who also went into battle to help in the battle. Ye Cong and other soldiers had tears in their eyes, they regarded them as gods' divine light swords, and they had to do the next thing of mowing grass and feeding pigs, which was really poignant.
After working for more than two hours, I finally served more than 400 masters. Everyone was about to go on the road again, when suddenly there was a demonic wind behind them.
