Volume 2 Ghost Army Chapter 223 Energy Source
When Li Jiu took a closer look at the pants on the man's leg, he finally recognized that the leg should belong to a soldier on the defender's side...
After seeing the human leg in the crocodile's stomach, Li Jiu and Bacchus both felt disgusted and no longer had the appetite to eat crocodile meat...
So, next, Li Jiu and Bacchus looked at each other tacitly and decided to take the catfish back.
"Huh? That's not right! Could it be..." However, just as Li Jiu was about to leave with the catfish, he suddenly stopped, frowned slightly, and there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Then, he glanced at the human leg and the giant crocodile's body, and his eyes twitched suddenly, as if he remembered something...
"Bacchus, wait a minute, I think we should cut off these four crocodile legs and take them back." Li Jiu was silent for a moment and suddenly said.
"Damn, brother, how can you eat this?" Bacchus was stunned for a moment, then looked at the rotten human leg, frowned, and said to Li Jiu with a painful look on his face.
"What's the big deal? Since the beast can eat humans, why can't we eat it? Stop talking nonsense, cut it off and take it back. Brother, I really want to taste the crocodile meat today..." Li Jiu smiled and curled his lips.
Seeing that Li Jiu was so persistent, Bacchus could only shake his head helplessly, and together with Li Jiu, he cut off the four thick legs of the giant crocodile.
Afterwards, the two of them took the abundant prey and went to look for Kaqi and others.
…
Under the big tree, a thick tree trunk was placed on the campfire, and on it were the prey brought back by Li Jiu and Bacchus.
Bella and Elva were in charge of the barbecue. The faces of the team members around them were filled with happy smiles. They couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they smelled the aroma of meat...
"Tsk tsk, brother Li Jiu, I didn't expect you could find crocodile meat." Scar Brother smoked Li Jiu's Sabre brand cigarettes and looked at the roasted golden crocodile meat. He couldn't help but admire it. "You know, affected by the war, more than half of the wild animals in the world have been extinct, and most of the remaining species have also been severely reduced in number. Things like crocodile meat are extremely rare and precious ingredients in the alliance. It is definitely a luxury. I estimate that just the four crocodile legs you brought back, I'm afraid without millions of Alliance coins, you can't even eat them..."
After hearing what Scar said, the team members around him couldn't help but become even more greedy.
To be honest, few people at the scene had ever eaten wild crocodile meat.
After all, before the war broke out, the human world under the management of the "God" absolutely prohibited the hunting of wild animals. After the war broke out, wild crocodiles were an extremely rare species. Even if you wanted to eat them, you couldn't find them...
"Damn...it's so valuable. Should I cut some more to take back?" After hearing what Scar said, Bakus couldn't help but sigh and looked at Li Jiu and asked in a low voice.
If these four crocodile legs alone can be sold for millions, then wouldn't it be possible to get rich right away if we took the whole giant crocodile back home? !
"Take your sister with you?! In this kind of weather, the temperature is low at night and it's scorching hot during the day. By the time you bring the meat back, it will have already gone bad..." Li Jiu took a puff of his cigarette and gave Bakus, the money-grubber, a blank look.
After hearing this, Bacchus smiled awkwardly, scratched his head in embarrassment, and gave up the idea.
"Haha, it's ready, we can eat it!" At this moment, Elva pinched the crocodile meat on the tree trunk and felt that it was cooked enough, so she greeted everyone with a smile.
After saying that, she and Bella used the weapons they carried with them to cut off pieces of crocodile meat and distributed them to everyone.
After receiving the crocodile meat, the team members all started eating it with happy faces.
"I... I don't want to eat crocodile meat. Just cut me a piece of catfish meat." When Elva specially cut a piece of crocodile meat weighing three or four pounds and handed it to Bacchus, the big black guy suddenly refused.
Although Bacchus knew that the crocodile meat was actually clean, he was too impressed by the human leg... and when he thought of the scene he had seen before, he really couldn't eat it...
"Hmph! If you don't want to eat it, then forget it. Go get whatever you want!" Seeing this, Elva couldn't help but roll her eyes at Bacchus, snorted angrily, and then took the crocodile and started eating it with Kachi.
At the same time, Li Jiu also got a piece.
He looked at the two-pound piece of meat in his hand, but did not eat it immediately. Instead, he seemed to be thinking about something...
This was not because after seeing the human leg, he was afraid to eat it like Bacchus, but because he felt that this was probably not ordinary crocodile meat!
“I don’t know if what I think is right… But, we should know the result after we finish eating…” Li Jiu glanced at the people who were wolfing down their food, and murmured to himself in an inaudible voice.
Afterwards, he also grabbed the piece of meat in his hand and started eating it in big mouthfuls...
"this……"
“This meat is so delicious!”
"Besides, after eating, I feel very comfortable all over..."
"Ah! How come our health points recover so quickly?!"
"What's going on?!"
…
After a while, as the crocodile meat in the team members' hands continued to enter their stomachs, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement!
"It is true..." After seeing this scene, Li Jiu smiled meaningfully while chewing the crocodile meat.
Now, he finally understood why hyenas and giant crocodiles had that green energy in their bodies!
The reason is simple, because they have all eaten humans!
Moreover, the humans they eat are probably the awakened ones...
Because, and only for this reason, the green energy in their bodies can be connected with the energy in Moss's body!
Speaking of which, when Li Jiu saw the human corpse in the giant crocodile's belly, he thought of this, but he was not completely sure at the time.
But he knew that if his guess was correct, then after devouring the awakened ones and inheriting the green energy in their bodies, the physique of these beasts was likely to have been strengthened, and their flesh and blood should have something unusual!
So, Li Jiu thought of eating crocodile meat to verify his guess...
And now, after eating the giant crocodile's meat, not only did they feel comfortable all over, but their health points also recovered rapidly. This undoubtedly confirmed Li Jiu's guess!
"It turns out that the green energy in those beasts is really obtained from the bodies of awakened humans..." Li Jiu thought while eating crocodile meat, "But why do awakened people have this strange ? I wonder if I have that kind of energy in my body... And, I don't know if there are other people who can absorb the energy in other people's bodies like me..."
Although one puzzle was solved, Li Jiu was confused by more mysteries...
