Although the batch of mutant bees cultivated by Xiao Hei was small in number, they were very big. In a short time, they had grown to the size of an adult's fist, but they were much bigger than ordinary bees.
He looked at the dual-attribute mutant bees cultivated by Xiao Hei, and then at the mutant queen cultivated by the female locust tree spirit, and then he remembered that he had just broken through to the Golden Celestial Stage. Du Feng was in a good mood and decided to help the poor people again. Although they were of no other use, at least they brought him good luck. Perhaps good deeds were rewarded.
"Benefactor, you're back. We knew you'd come back."
"Yes, benefactor, you're back at last. We missed you so much."
Du Feng's sudden appearance lit up the eyes of the poor people underground. They didn't know where their benefactor came from, but as long as he was here, it was good.
"Well, I came back to see how the crops are growing."
Du Feng's face was gloomy, and he deliberately put on a serious look. But when he asked, everyone lowered their heads.
"Benefactor, we were so hungry, so we ate the crops first. Don't worry, we'll plant them well next time. "
If one were to say that the poor were stupid, they were not. At the very least, they knew how to make up excuses when they lied.
"What about the spiritual pets? They should have reproduced after more than a month."
In order to let the poor people harvest as soon as possible, Du Feng deliberately left the spiritual pets of the poultry type. Because the poultry usually laid eggs and reproduced quickly, they were easier to feed than the large ones.
"Spiritual … spiritual pets …"
Everyone stammered, and they all lowered their heads, not knowing how to explain. Because that batch of spiritual pets had all been eaten by them. In the first half of the month, they had meat for every meal, and there were even signs of wastage. In the second half of the month, they found that the number of spiritual pets had decreased significantly, so they began to reduce the speed of killing.
Those spiritual pets were used for breeding and eating meat. They didn't have combat power, so it wasn't difficult to kill them. They ate to their heart's content.
Everyone stammered and didn't say anything. Just then, a child suddenly said, "The meat of the spiritual pets is delicious. I want more."
As soon as he said that, everyone present was stunned. Originally, they wanted to make up a reason, saying that the spiritual pet was sick. In other words, a big rat crawled out of the ground and took away all their spiritual pets. In short, it couldn't be said that they were eaten.
But now, the child's words had exposed everything. The child's mother quickly covered his mouth, but it was too late, because Du Feng heard everything. Actually, he didn't need to listen. He already knew about it. He just wanted to question them on purpose. If they didn't question it, these people would think that everything was as it should be.
"Benefactor, please forgive us. We've been starving for too long and couldn't hold it in. "
"Yeah, children really need nutrition when they're growing up."
Well, as expected, the adults began to push the responsibility to the children again. It was said that it was because the children were greedy and needed to grow up, so they slaughtered and ate the spiritual pets. In fact, Du Feng knew very well that all the adults present also ate a lot, and they ate more than the children.
"Plop! Thump! "
Just as Du Feng was about to say something, he saw a group of people all kneel down again, just like the last time. The biggest characteristic of these people was that their knees were particularly soft. As long as someone was willing to give them charity, it didn't matter if they knelt a hundred times.
However, Du Feng noticed that the little boy who said that the spiritual pet meat was delicious just now didn't kneel, and there were a few other children who didn't want to kneel either. They resisted instinctively and didn't want to kneel to strangers. Unfortunately, they couldn't persuade their parents and were dragged to kneel.
"Okay, I'll give you another chance."
Because this time, Du Feng broke through to the Golden Immortal Stage and was in a good mood, he decided to give them another chance. This time, the rules were very simple, which was to leave them another batch of crop seeds and some poultry that were easy to raise. Both sides agreed to see the results in a month.
If the seeds were eaten again and the poultry were eaten, then Du Feng would never help them again in the future. If all the seeds survived and the poultry also multiplied, then he would leave them another batch of better ones. If some of the seeds were eaten and some were planted, then the poultry would also eat some and reproduce some. Then, Du Feng would give them the part that they ate and let them fend for themselves.
Three different choices would lead to three different results. The first was to eat until they were full and then starve for the rest of their lives. The second was to starve for a month and then live a better life without worrying about food and clothing. The third was to eat until they were half full, and they would probably eat until they were half full for the rest of their lives. They wouldn't starve to death, but they wouldn't have a better life.
"Benefactor, don't worry. We definitely won't let you down."
"Yes, we'll definitely do well this time."
Everyone knelt on the ground and swore that they wouldn't be lazy and greedy this time. They would definitely plant the crops and raise the poultry well.
"I hope you can do what you say."
After saying that, Du Feng turned into a golden light and disappeared in front of everyone. When he was at the peak of the ninth stage of the Heaven Celestial Cultivation Stage, the poor people couldn't even catch a glimpse of him. Now that he had broken through to the Golden Celestial Stage, he could come and go as he pleased.
"Benefactor's strength seems to have become stronger!"
"Yes, I can feel it too. Will he come again?"
After Du Feng left, the poor people gathered together and started to discuss what to do next. Some people suggested that they should eat what they were given first and live comfortably for as long as they could. That benefactor was so mysterious. Maybe this would be the last time he would come. Even if they succeeded in raising the poultry, they wouldn't get the promised rewards.
"Yes, yes, yes. Let's just leave after eating. I've been hungry for a long time."
There were also some people who supported eating what they got first, but they had different opinions. It wasn't that they didn't think Du Feng wouldn't come anymore, but that Du Feng would come again. Anyway, the benefactor would come again and send food to them. Why should they put in so much effort to plant and raise the poultry?
After such a discussion, most people actually supported eating all the food and poultry. Those poultry were all domesticated spirit pets, and they tasted delicious. Everyone was already a little addicted to eating them.
"No, you can't eat them."
