Chapter 220 Can you eat the meat of a black peacock?
Wow! What a huge patch of houttuynia cordata! That's amazing!
"Ah Xuan, Ah Hao, Ah Lang, you guys have to work again!"
Looking at this huge patch of houttuynia cordata, Mu Yunyun felt like she could fly with joy.
But if we're talking about happiness, the little duck in the consciousness space seems even happier.
[Host, this is houttuynia cordata, also known as pigskin root!]
"Pigskin Arch, what a peculiar name, it sounds somewhat familiar!"
While Mu Yunyun was still struggling with the name, Mo Ling was barely breathing and lay motionless on the farthest riverbank, teetering on the brink of death.
In a daze, he heard a beautiful, clear voice, melodious and heavenly, which made him forget the pain in his body and try to open his eyes halfway.
"Yes, female, female!"
The little duck chuckled to itself, its large, protruding beak barely contained in its consciousness as it excitedly sent a voice reminder to Mu Yunyun.
【Host, over there, over there seems to be a black peacock, go take a look.】
"A peacock, black?"
Mu Yunyun snapped out of her daze in an instant, but the poisonous fog swamp was so thick that her mental energy was also not very effective.
As for Hao Bai and Lang Ya's spiritual power, there was absolutely no discovery.
As for Cang Xuanyu, he was certainly aware of it, but Mo Ling was already on the verge of death and had no special abilities, so he regarded him as a beast without any offensive power.
Filled with curiosity, Mu Yunyun followed several beastmen and slowly approached the dark mass.
The closer you get, the stronger the burnt smell becomes.
"Yunyun, wait a minute, let us see first!"
Hao Bai and Lang Ya blocked her way at the same time, following behind Cang Xuan Yu, striding forward, and finally saw the creature in front of them clearly.
The three beastmen breathed a sigh of relief. The dark peacock had neither good looks nor talent, and posed no threat to them whatsoever.
The young female would never accept a dark, ugly, and talentless peacock as her mate.
"Yunyun, it's a charred black peacock, it's about to die."
After investigating, Cang Xuanyu found that there were indeed no supernatural fluctuations, and the life force was getting weaker and weaker.
The three beastmen completely lowered their guard. The little female also possessed a fourth-tier high-level purple talent, and the half-burnt peacock in front of them posed no danger whatsoever.
Everyone was puzzled. If it were an ordinary orc or wild beast, it would have run away long ago if it had sensed the presence of the four of them, and would not have stayed.
This person didn't run away; it turns out he was about to die.
Hearing the beastman's words, Mu Yunyun curiously stepped forward, only to be horrified by the horrific scene before her.
The black peacock had most of its black feathers burned off, its exposed skin was also black, and only one feather remained on its head.
Its enormous tail feathers were burned to pieces, with only one feather in the middle, which shone with a golden sheen, still standing firm inside.
"Black peacock meat, it smells delicious, is it edible?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was immediately startled, including the little duck in the consciousness space.
The little duck was a bit scared and quickly explained to her.
[Host, this is a black peacock that you can't eat. He's still alive; there's still a chance to save him.]
【Why don't you save him and take him home as a pet?】
The duck looked extremely humble, yet she couldn't simply accept him as her beast husband. The black peacock, who was dark and about to die before the new year, didn't seem like the type to be a beast husband at all.
"Hahaha, I know, I'm just teasing them. Who am I? How could I be so cruel!"
Hearing Mu Yunyun's words, the three beastmen hesitated for a moment. They all knew that the black peacock in front of them should be a low-level beastman.
Eating orcs was still a bit of a challenge for the three beastmen, but since the little female liked it, they would try it despite their discomfort.
"Okay, Yunyun, let me start a fire and then I'll roast some more for you!"
Cang Xuanyu and Langya remained silent. The big, clumsy bird Haobai answered her timidly, quickly crouching down to start a fire again.
Hearing their conversation, Mo Ling, who was half-dead, suddenly felt her adrenaline surge and used all her strength to raise her neck.
He couldn't speak, his words were stuck in his throat, and his eyelids felt like lead, so he couldn't open his eyes.
The silent reminder seemed to say: I am not dead, I am still alive, I am an orc, not a beast!
Seeing that the silly bird was really about to start a fire, Mu Yunyun quickly stopped it.
"No, no, no! Silly Ah Hao, I was just joking. How could I eat a living person!"
Quickly call the duck.
"Tell me, little duck, is there any hope for him? How can he be saved?"
[Don't worry, host, he won't die. He's just been poisoned. The poison doesn't need an antidote; it will dissipate in a few days.]
As for burns, you can crush freshly picked fragrant herbs and the following herbs (also known as pigskin rhizome) and apply them to the wound. This can relieve pain and fight bacteria.
As for other external injuries, go back to Hua Fei, he'll take care of them in no time.
"Ok!"
Exiting the consciousness space, Mu Yunyun was somewhat puzzled. The little duck's performance was too bland, and the black peacock on the ground must have an extraordinary identity.
Save her! This is the first time she has ever seen a black peacock in the Beast World.
Cang Xuanyu was knowledgeable and experienced. Since the Flaming Peacock tribe was located near the Poison Mist Swamp, he thought for a moment and then spoke to the group:
"This black peacock should be a member of the Flaming Peacock tribe across the way. Perhaps it has low talent and encountered some trouble, and was driven away by its tribe."
The giant snake looked at the wounds on his body left by the raging fire and made a simple guess.
These words immediately touched Mo Ling. Although he could not move his body, his consciousness remained.
Hearing the little female's soft words, he knew he had met a good person and he was saved.
But upon hearing Cang Xuanyu's words and recalling the tragic death of Brother Heyu, he was consumed by rage, and blood gushed from his dark beak.
He became emotionally agitated and completely lost consciousness.
"Oh dear, he's vomiting blood again. Ah Xuan, stop talking and quickly help me pull some pigskin grass."
"I'll help him relieve the pain and kill the bacteria now. Let's go back as soon as possible and let Hua Fei's healing skills save him!"
"Pigskin root?"
"Oh, it's houttuynia cordata, also called pigskin root, it's the kind that grows underground."
"okay!"
Cang Xuanyu dared not ask any more questions. Langya quickly took out a rough animal hide from his personal space and, together with Haobai, moved him onto the animal hide.
Mu Yunyun was a little scared. It was the first time she had treated such a badly injured beastman, and the little duck actually said he was fine.
She was worried because it was just a cold salad with cilantro and houttuynia cordata. Could it be that, like before, they wanted to eat the black peacock raw?
But then I thought about it again, and cilantro and houttuynia cordata are indeed condiments and herbs, and it's not surprising that they can relieve pain and kill bacteria.
