Chapter 413 Cannibalism
Chapter 413 Cannibalism
After careful selection and considering the current environment, Cheng Feng set up a large pot on the spot and gathered some dry firewood from the space to start a fire.
"Boss, why are you making such a big fuss? Are you going to bring out a pig to stew?"
Black Bear walked around the huge pot that could have cooked him up a few times, clicking his tongue in amazement.
Cheng Feng ignored him and filled the pot with clean bottled water.
Then put the lid on the pot and wait for the water to boil.
Seeing that Cheng Feng didn't speak, Hei Xiazi didn't press him further. He came to Cheng Feng's side, crossed his arms, and looked in the direction Wu Sansheng and the others had left.
"Boss, you shouldn't be able to hide their little schemes from you!"
This time, Cheng Feng remained calm and said in a neutral tone:
"This matter is actually somewhat related to you, isn't it? As far as I know, you are also a very important factor in the plan left behind by Qi Tiezui."
Hei Xiazi took out a cigarette, handed one to Cheng Feng, and then lit one for himself.
"Nothing can be hidden from you. Religions say that only God is omniscient and omnipotent. I think you're a bit like that, boss."
Cheng Feng silently smoked his cigarette, letting the nicotine flood his lungs.
Without keeping Cheng Feng waiting any longer, Hei Xiazi spoke slowly:
"It is said that Lu is a very picky eater. If the offering has a defect, Lu will eat it after making up for the defect."
Cheng Feng looked at Hei Xiazi, who then slowly took off his sunglasses.
The blind man's eyes were pure gray, without the whites of normal eyes and pupils, somewhat similar to Cheng Feng's initial ghost eyes, the only difference being the color.
"Eighth Master told me that the only way to completely solve my eye problem is through this method."
So I promised him I'd help him develop a plan that would span a century.
Since it was just him and Cheng Feng there, the blind man didn't put his sunglasses back on, but instead clipped them to his shirt pocket.
Cheng Feng looked at Wu Xie, who was currently in a coma, and asked:
"He was at the heart of the plan?"
Black Bear shook his head.
"There is no fixed candidate, but it will definitely be someone from the third generation of the Nine Gates, because from a time perspective, only the third generation can catch up at that time."
"Therefore, Wu Sansheng wanted to defy fate for his nephew, which is why he single-handedly organized this expedition to explore the second-largest tomb in the world."
Cheng Feng suddenly laughed. He realized that he seemed to have been outmaneuvered by Wu Sansheng.
Hei Xiazi didn't understand what Cheng Feng was laughing about, but seeing Cheng Feng laugh, he also laughed.
"Yes, Boss Li Yijun's sudden rise to prominence, and the abilities and methods he has demonstrated, have shown me the possibility of resolving the final issue through other means."
Cheng Feng stared at Hei Xiazi with an unfriendly expression.
"You're not being fair, are you? You knew that bastard Wu Sansheng was plotting against me, but you didn't warn me?"
"I'm wronged, boss. If you don't want to, who can control your will?"
Hei Xiazi looked like he wasn't going to take the blame for this.
Cheng Feng didn't care about any of that and directly pinned the blame on Hei Xiazi's head:
"It's your fault for not reminding me, do you see this?"
As he spoke, Cheng Feng pointed to his feet, and a massive gold nugget, weighing at least a thousand or eight hundred pounds, appeared in the imaginary space.
Then it disappeared from the spot.
"This was supposed to be your bonus, but now it's gone!"
After saying that, Cheng Feng ignored Hei Xiazi's mournful face, turned around and walked to the big pot. At this moment, the steam was rising and the pot lid was rattling.
Just as Cheng Feng was about to put the ingredients in, he twitched his nose and turned to look at the ground not far away.
"Boss, this water is something else! How come it smells so good?"
Black Bear swallowed hard, his surprise genuine.
Cheng Feng shook his head: "It's not the water in the pot that smells good, it's that stuff."
Following Cheng Feng's gaze, Hei Xiazi saw four small black dolls that were almost blending into the ground.
This place was originally where Ah Ning and her group of five mercenaries died.
When Cheng Feng and Hei Xiazi returned, the body was gone. They assumed that Wu Sansheng and his men had disposed of it somewhere.
"Five people have died, and now there are four fruits on the ground."
Black Bear was very bold; he walked straight to the fruit and picked them all up, holding them in his arms.
After returning to Cheng Feng's side, Hei Xiazi looked at the pot of water that had just boiled.
"It smells delicious, would you like to try some and see if it's good?"
"You recognize this thing?"
Cheng Feng looked at Hei Xiazi with amusement.
Black Bear grinned, opened the pot lid, and tossed the fruit he was holding inside.
The four baby-shaped fruits melted quickly after falling into boiling water, and the water did not change color at all.
"These are ripe peaches, very nutritious, but they're a bit too much for a person."
Indeed, the ripening of each fruit represents a person's entire vitality and all their nutrients.
"In Lu Xun's Diary of a Madman, he said that he only saw the word 'cannibalism' in history."
Now it seems that the literal meaning alone is sufficient.
Cheng Feng produced a long soup ladle in his hand, stirred it in the boiling water for a moment, and then scooped up a spoonful of clear boiling water.
"Give them this first soup; it's just what they need."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng handed the soup spoon to Hei Xiazi.
Cheng Feng wasn't a stingy person; how could he forget Wu Xie and A Ning when such a good thing happened?
Especially since these four ripe peaches were conceived by Ah Ning's subordinates, they deserve a share of the spoils.
Black Bear took the soup ladle and walked towards the two unconscious people while whistling.
After Cheng Feng turned around, he began adding various fresh seafood to the pot of boiling water.
First, cleaned and prepared clams are placed at the bottom, followed by four king crabs neatly arranged in a large pot.
The king crab was topped with a few scattered abalone halves, followed by oysters, a man's gas station.
A mantis shrimp, about the length of a forearm, covers the oysters, and that completes the seafood dish.
Satisfied, Cheng Feng put the lid back on the pot, threw the cigarette butt into the fire, and waited by the side.
At this moment, Hei Xiazi had already given the soup to Wu Xie and A Ning.
After returning to Cheng Feng's side, Hei Xiazi, carrying a long soup ladle, said:
"It's all taken care of. They should wake up soon."
Cheng Feng glanced at the two of them and noticed that their complexions had visibly become rosy.
Indeed, there's some truth to the saying that you are what you eat.
The two chatted idly, waiting for the big pot of seafood to be cooked.
During this time, Wu Sansheng and the others, who said they were going to see the situation for themselves, never returned.
Cheng Feng and Hei Xiazi both understood that they had played a trick, leaving Wu Xie and A Ning to Cheng Feng and Hei Xiazi.
He went deeper into the crevice ahead of time.
The gap through which Lu's tentacles left requires the ability to shrink one's bones to pass through. However, there are other gaps that can be traversed if that route isn't taken.
However, how long it will take to find the right location depends on individual circumstances.
Who knows, maybe I'll get lost in it for the rest of my life?
