Chapter 561 - New Slaves (2/2)

Shao Xuan gave the enslaved beasts a command- “Do not attack anyone from the Flaming Horn tribe.” The beast followed as instructed. It ran around the house like wind, and then went back beside Shao Xuan and looked directly at him.

“What does it want to do?” Zheng Luo asked because he couldn’t understand the beast’s behaviour.

“It’s hungry,” Shao Xuan said, “It is saying, ‘I’m very hungry right now.’”

“Then what should we do?” Duo Kang scratched at his head anxiously.

“They don’t even eat the gra.s.s we feed them. They didn’t even bother to sniff the gra.s.s.”

There was still some gra.s.s on the ground that Duo Kang cut early that morning, but the beast ran directly over that pile of gra.s.s.

“Let’s not care about this one just yet. Ah Xuan, let’s untie the rest of them and see how they fare,” Mai said. They hadn’t even solved the first problem. How could they move onto the next one right away? They had to first be sure that the enslavement was successful. If any single one of them still attacked others like before, then they had no choice but to slaughter it. Today’s blood supply had not been extracted and the casting room was still waiting for it.

“Alright.” Shao Xuan nodded, thinking the same way.

Just like the previous one, Shao Xuan decided to untie the vine ropes tied to its front hooves first, and then untie the one behind. Although it was much safer to untie the hind hooves first, it wasn’t the best way to test the success of the enslavement. Untying the ropes in front would immediately impel the beasts to express their initial intention. When the head and neck of the beast was freed, the beast would immediately attack if it had the slightest intention to. This was a more accurate way to gauge their success. Even if the beast wanted to attack, with its hind hooves still tied up, its movements would be greatly restricted.

Fortunately, the other six didn’t show any intention to attack, at least not now.

Shao Xuan picked up the vine ropes on the ground, tied a rope around their necks one after the other, and then held the other end of the ropes.

“Okay, the first problem is solved. Now it’s time to think about what to feed them.” Zheng Luo sighed.

In order to keep these beasts alive, they had to feed them, but with what?

“The problem now is not what we want to feed them, but what they want to eat.” Shao Xuan pulled on a vine rope, instructing the green-faced fanged beasts not to move. “Their temper grew worse because they were starving.”

Besides the type of gra.s.s from the forest, what else could they use to feed the beasts? This was a tough problem, and everyone in the house suddenly became silent, thinking hard about plants they had seen in the forest and which ones the green-faced fanged beasts might want to eat.

The grains that grew around the tribe was a no.

Freshly cut gra.s.s was a no.

The fruits picked in the mountains was also a no.

What do they eat?!

“Since we can’t guess what they want to eat, we can only let them go look for food themselves.” Shao Xuan stood up and looked at the chiefs and leaders. “First, let’s bring them over to the grounds.”

In order for these beasts to want to search for food on their farmlands, they had to first dismiss some irrelevant people who were there, especially those who had no totemic power. They were weaker and must be kept far away from these beasts or else they might accidentally get into trouble. These people were not strong enough to take any strikes from these beasts.
