Little Silver's answer immediately stupefied everyone.
Before entering Beast King's Remains, Odd Zhuo had done his homework. He had specially studied the eastern part of the map which the scientific research team had already explored in Beast King's Remains before this operation.
Thus, Odd Zhuo knew that the soil in this forest was now of edible quality.
This was actually no secret. When the scientific research team had explored Beast King's Remains the last time, they had already published information on the national authoritative scientific data website. It was said that in order to confirm the practicality of the soil, the scientific research team had specially invited the gourmet Yuan Zhou to taste it.
After eating the soil, Yuan Zhou said that after eating it … his eyes were clearer than before, his back was more comfortable, and even his skin seemed to be a lot more delicate than before. The strong effects were immediately apparent after eating it.
However, after eating it, Yuan Zhou also said that if the unpalatability was graded from 1 to 10 …
This soil could be graded to 11 …
So before coming to the remains, Odd Zhuo had actually been quite curious about how unpalatable this soil was, and had wanted to try it out.
But now that he heard Little Silver say this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Why are you so sure?" Odd Zhuo asked Little Silver.
Little Silver pinched his nose and said, "If a human cultivator smells this soil, it should be very, very fragrant! But we grew up in Holy Beast Village, and everyone comes into contact with Devil King during the village meetings every year. If we come into contact with Devil King and then smell this soil, it will become very smelly! Like shit! "
After saying this, Little Silver felt that his words were a little ambiguous, so he hurriedly corrected himself. "Ah, no, it's shit to begin with!"
Odd Zhuo: "Then why did Devil King leave a pile of it here …"
Little Silver casually tapped his nose aperture to seal his sense of smell, then crossed his arms with the expression of someone who knew. "The remains were originally Devil King's tomb. When he built the tomb back then, Devil King considered a lot of feng shui issues. He had special plans for some spirit plants and so on. It was also because of feng shui issues that His Majesty Beast King decided to build an entire forest. But in order to build the forest, His Majesty Beast King also suffered a lot. "
"Could it be because these trees can only grow in this' soil '?" Fatty Luo deduced.
"That's one of the reasons, but that's not the hardest part."
Little Silver nodded and then said, "In order to build this forest, His Majesty Beast King worked the hardest on storing shit."
Everyone: "…"
For some reason, Odd Zhuo suddenly realized that he could no longer bear to look at the fragrant soil on the ground.

The evening cookout was basically a DIY meal for the students under the guidance of the teacher leading the team. Most of the teams used local ingredients to make vegetable and spirit fruit soup, and the taste of the soup depended on the students' own combination. The teacher leading the team was nothing more than helping to keep an eye on the students to see if any students would mix poisonous spirit plants into the soup to make the soup.
It wouldn't be a big deal even if they found out, but the experience of this summer camp would also count towards their overall learning points. If they mixed poisonous spirit plants into the mix, their points would be deducted and that would be it.
And this comprehensive branch would directly affect the evaluation of high school graduation.
As they gathered the spirit fruit, Little Peanut came up with a lot of ideas, but Super Chen and Dopey Guo didn't have much of an appetite.
The reason was that while they were gathering the fruit, they couldn't resist the temptation of the fragrant soil under their feet and couldn't help eating a bit, but in the end, they almost threw it up …
This scene reminded Wang Ling of a very magical lyric: Have you ever eaten fragrant roasted gluten (soil) …
The truth was that it wasn't just Super Chen and Dopey Guo who had fallen for it; there were also quite a number of students in the team who couldn't resist the temptation of this "edible soil" and couldn't help sneaking a mouthful of it. Even now, they still felt a little nauseous.
In Super Chen's words, this stuff was as salty as dried salted fish that had been fermented in laotan pickled cabbage beef noodles for a thousand years; it was salty and fishy … it was a world of difference from the smell!
And it was precisely because of this smell that a lot of the students directly lost their appetites that night.
While Wang Ling and Little Peanut were preparing their vegetable and fruit soup, they saw a number of students from No. 60 High School and other schools leaning against a tree, clutching their stomachs with deathly pale faces, as if they had nothing left to live for.
"Luckily, I didn't eat it …" Little Peanut trembled in fear at this scene and couldn't help trembling.
Because Super Chen and Dopey Guo had stopped cooking midway, Wang Ling and Little Peanut were the ones who mainly collected the ingredients this time.
In fact, it was Little Peanut who was mainly responsible for selecting and gathering the ingredients.
When the team returned, Little Peanut was carrying a bamboo basket on his back, which was filled with spirit plants that didn't look very good. Feather Lin, who had come to visit next door, complained, "What did you choose?"
She picked up a strange spirit plant that looked a little like a carrot, black, purple and green, and couldn't help showing a suspicious expression on her face. "Can this thing be eaten? It's so ugly! "
Little Peanut pursed his lips. "This soil smells fragrant, but it's so unpalatable … We've already had two. When things reach an extreme, they turn in the opposite direction, understand? Ugly things don't necessarily taste bad! Stinky tofu smells bad but tastes good! "
Feather Lin was instantly speechless after this explanation.
Then, it was time to wash the vegetables and boil the soup.
Because this team lacked the two important laborers, Super Chen and Dopey Guo, the entire process was relatively slow. When Wang Ling set up the pot, he could already see the aroma of a delicious soup wafting in front of the military tent not far away.
The soup had an indescribable aroma, and it drifted very far. Even Super Chen and Dopey Guo, who were leaning against the tree, felt much less nauseous after eating the soil.
Everyone's appetites were almost instantly whetted.
"Who made the soup? It smells so good … "Little Peanut stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance.
Someone who had gone to join in on the fun and came back replied, "It was Teacher Zhai Yin, who led the team!"
Wang Ling: "…"
Zhai … Zhai Yin?
That Zhai Yin who had used a dragon pork chop to almost kill one of the Ten Founding Generals?
Wang Ling was stunned.
Unexpectedly, he noticed from afar that there were actually already people drinking the soup. Furthermore, everyone's faces were brimming with happiness, as if nothing had happened to them at all.
Wang Ling cupped his chin and pondered for a while. Could it be that Zhai Yin's cooking skills had improved recently?
After drinking the soup, the students sighed with emotion. "Wow! I've tasted several bowls of soup, but this one is the best! And it's actually salty and flavorful! "
"Most of the soup made by the other teams is sweet! And there's also the fruit soup … "someone complained.
Because all the ingredients had been locally sourced this time, they weren't allowed to add any of their own seasonings, which directly led to a lot of people making sweet soup.
Now that Zhai Yin had made a pot of salted vegetable soup, it was immediately praised by the students and teachers alike.
"Whoever marries Teacher Zhai Yin will be too happy!"
One of the teachers from the other teams praised: "Speaking of which, what did Teacher Zhai add to the soup? Why does it smell so good? "
Embarrassed by the praise, Zhai Yin said a little bashfully, "Nothing, I just added a grain of soil."
Everyone: "…"
Zhai Yin: "I heard from a student just now that the soil was pretty salty, so I thought I'd add a grain of it. I never thought it would be so effective! "
