One pound of meat equals one attribute point.

Chapter 26 Lost

Chapter 26 Lost
The banquet is over.

But it was impossible for Su Heng to be full with all the food above.

He also asked the kitchen to prepare a more substantial side meal for him to help him practice and gain more attribute points.

Su Heng returned to his house.

Soon, servants came in with pots of rice, crispy stewed meat, and various precious medicinal foods.

All the food, which was huge enough to feed seven or eight strong men, was placed on the long table in front of Su Heng.

However, Su Heng did not pick up his chopsticks immediately.

Instead, he sat on a chair and raised his legs. Soon two young maids came forward to help him take off his boots.

Two wooden barrels were placed under the table, filled with special soups that were beneficial to the body.

"call……"

Su Heng placed his feet in the wooden barrel.

Feel the scorching temperature spreading from the soles of the feet to the whole body.

His body, which had been tense because of the unusual situation, gradually relaxed, and all the thoughts in his mind were temporarily thrown aside.

Body contact with water.

The talent inherited from the water ghost's poison sac began to take effect.

Su Heng opened his eyes, his metabolism increased, and a large amount of sticky saliva was secreted from his mouth.

So much so that when he opened his mouth, translucent silver-white threads stuck between his teeth, showing Su Heng's vigorous vitality at the moment.

The boiling hot dipping sauce splashed with hot oil is poured on the soft stewed meat, making a sizzling sound.

The aroma of the meat and the spicy taste of the dipping sauce are all brought out at once.

Su Heng opened his mouth wide.

He swallowed a pig's trotter weighing about half a pound, meat and bones included.

Most people eat slowly and chew their food carefully, but Su Heng is not like that. He eats like he is drinking.

Various foods...

Whether it's rice, stewed meat, or some other stir-fried dishes.

Su Heng just tilted his head back and swallowed it.

Every rise and fall of the throat means that about half a pound of food is swallowed and quickly digested and decomposed.

So, a whole table of food.

In less than a quarter of an hour, they were all wiped out by Su Heng.

Only the grease-stained plates and jars were left, placed in a slightly messy manner in front of Su Heng, still emitting a faint aroma of grease.

"Comfortable……"

Su Heng took a long breath and exhaled a breath of foul air.

He loosened the belt around his waist slightly and leaned back in his chair casually.

Lift your legs.
Two young maids carried the wooden barrel away with great effort.

Then two maids came with clean towels, wiped the water stains on Su Heng's feet, and put on his shoes and socks.

The food was pretty good, but Su Heng always felt like something was missing.

He pushed the table away and walked out into the courtyard.

Think for a moment.

Only then did he realize what went wrong.

"Where is the Tai Sui meat?" Su Heng was stunned for a moment and looked at the driver Li Si not far away.

"The villagers in Heikui Mountain said that Rou Taisui has disappeared from the village." Li Si came to Su Heng and answered in a low voice.

"is it?"

Su Heng touched his chin and his gaze lingered on Li Si for a moment.

For some reason, he always felt that the expression on Li Si's face seemed a little dull compared to before.

are you sick?

Or are you encountering some difficulties or troubles?

"Maybe those villagers are deliberately fooling us and just finding an excuse to raise the price." Li Si added, giving his own guess.

"Well, that's a possibility." Su Heng nodded.

"Should we send someone to check it out?"

Su Heng frowned slightly, lost in thought, but did not give his answer immediately.

He had already eaten most of the water ghost's flesh and blood. Although the effect of Tai Sui meat was far inferior to that of real demon meat, it was better in quantity and the help it brought to him was obvious.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Su Heng was naturally unwilling to give up this huge source of attribute points.

But Hei Kui Mountain...

Su Heng thought of the strange monster he encountered in the mountains that day.

However, the area of Heikui Mountain is very large. The place where Rou Tai Sui grows is on the east side of the mountain, while the place where the fog monster was encountered last time is on the west.

The two are quite far apart, so there is no need to worry about them running into each other.

Moreover, during this period of time.

I haven't heard of any incidents of the fog monster hurting people.

It seemed that with the death of the water ghost, other demons near Changqing County also felt fear and retreated into the mountains and forests, keeping a certain distance from human society.

"Forget it, I'll go there myself." Su Heng quickly made up his mind.

"Then I'll go with you." Li Si said immediately, "The environment in Heikui Mountain is complicated. I'll lead the way for you."

"it is good!"

Su Heng didn't think much about it and nodded in agreement.

He turned and strode towards the archway.

Behind him, Li Si looked at Su Heng's receding figure, lowered his head, and a strange white mist flashed in his eyes. ...

……

Yaowang Village.

A dilapidated mountain village in Heikui Mountain.

The mountain village is not large, with only about a hundred households.

The residents living there depend on the mountains for their livelihood, hunting and collecting herbs.

They also farmed in the mountains, but the soil here was not fertile and the harvest was meager, barely enough to fill their stomachs.

The good thing is that this place is remote.

The government doesn't care, basically everyone eats as much as they grow.

Coupled with the various harvests from the mountains and forests, although they are in the mountains, the villagers' lives are surprisingly good.

"Boom boom boom!"

Under the leadership of Li Si, Su Heng came to Yaowang Village.

He reached out and knocked on the shabby wooden door in front of him.

"Crench!"

After a while, footsteps were heard in the yard and the wooden door was pushed open.

An old man with gray hair and a hunched back appeared in front of Su Heng. This man was the village chief of Yaowang Village. He had no name, and the villagers called him Yaosou.

"I want to ask about Rou Tai Sui." Su Heng said politely and handed over a piece of silver.

The old man did not reach out to take it, "Haven't we told you everything we know?"

His eyes fell on Li Si.

"Well then..." Su Heng looked towards the courtyard and asked, "Can I borrow a hoe?"

"It's up to you." The old man nodded and moved aside.

Su Heng bent down and walked through the wooden door into the courtyard, picking up the hoe placed by the wall. He clasped his fists towards the old man and said, "Thank you, I'll bring it back to you later."

Get the tools.

He stopped bothering Li Si and left Yaowang Village with him.

The people here seemed to seldom see outsiders. When Su Heng passed by the street, the doors on both sides opened.

One after another, figures walked out of the dark room.

Nor spoke.

He just turned his head and a weird smile appeared on his face.

Pairs of eyes filled with white mist looked towards Su Heng until his figure completely disappeared from their sight.

It was just past noon.

Under the bright and blazing sunlight, the figures of the people in Yaowang Village looked ghostly and unreal, sending an inexplicable chill down one's spine.

……

boom!
At the foot of the mountain, Su Heng smashed the hoe heavily into the soft soil.

This is where the Tai Sui meat is dug out.

It looks like a crater created by a meteorite, with a diameter of seven or eight meters and a quiet environment around it.

Dense trees grow, blocking out the sunlight and casting shadows.

The chirping of birds coming from the treetops makes people drowsy.

Only occasionally a mountain breeze blows, bringing a hint of coolness, dispelling sleepiness and making people feel refreshed.

Su Heng held a hoe in his hand and swung it vigorously.

A sharp and piercing sound of breaking through the air was heard, and the dull sound of the hoe hitting the ground continued. A large amount of black wet soil was thrown away and piled up into two mounds of soil one person high on both sides of Su Heng's body.

In just a moment,

A hole more than one meter deep appeared in front of Su Heng.

puff!

A muffled sound came from the pit in front of me.

Su Heng was delighted, thinking that he had finally dug up the Tai Sui meat.

He threw aside the hoe in his hand, jumped into the big hole he had just dug, and bent down to clean the black soil inside.

Throw away some gravel and dust.

Su Heng felt a soft and strange touch on his fingertips, just like...

The eagerness in his eyes disappeared, the expression on his face turned cold, and he slowly cleaned up the loose dirt.

at last,

The secret buried in it was completely exposed to Su Heng's eyes.

Even though Su Heng was bold and courageous, when he saw this scene, his heart still skipped a beat and he felt a chill running down his spine.
