Chapter 19 Xiao Tian's Crushing Defeat! It's All Xiao Yu's Fault!
Xiao Tian recalled what his older brother had taught him and recited it all.
Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and marveled at the young city lord's extensive knowledge.
They had seen many similar fungi when they went into the forest before.
However, the plant mutations in the wasteland world are too extreme, and most of them are highly poisonous.
Some plants can be so poisonous that even a single bite can cause death.
Therefore, no one dares to try it easily anymore.
Now, hearing Xiao Tian's instructions, everyone immediately began picking.
At that moment, several hungry and thirsty people heard that they could eat it, so they picked one and stuffed it into their mouths.
But the next second, these people started foaming at the mouth and their bodies were covered in chickenpox...
Many others shared the same idea. After hearing Xiao Tian say that the gray and black ones were edible, they immediately picked several and were about to put them in their mouths when they witnessed this scene.
"What happened? Didn't the young city lord say it was okay to eat? Why is this happening?"
For a moment, everyone present felt a chill run down their spine.
"Young City Lord, I'm in so much pain... Help me!" someone cried out in agony.
In the past, whenever someone ate the wrong thing, Xiao Yu was always able to save them.
"Let me save you? How the hell am I supposed to save you?"
Xiao Tian stared blankly at the person who had collapsed and was convulsing on the ground.
I have no idea what's going on, how am I supposed to save people?
"It's all Xiao Yu's fault!" Xiao Tian suddenly roared.
He suddenly remembered that Xiao Yu seemed to have said that these plants were mutating too quickly.
In particular, most fungi are poisonous, and even if they have a low toxicity, they should not be eaten directly!
It must be cooked thoroughly to minimize its toxicity!
He only remembered a few fragments of these things, so he forgot to remind everyone.
"Xiao Yu, that bastard! He's the one who ruined you all!" Xiao Tian roared, his eyes filled with resentment.
But he didn't even think about it.
Xiao Yu had taught him countless times that most fungi are poisonous when eaten raw and must be cooked before consumption...
But when Xiao Yu was teaching him, he always seemed absent-minded.
Moreover, the toxicity of a plant is completely different during its growth period and its maturity period!
This is extremely complicated, and Xiao Tian is still too inexperienced and has a lot to learn!
In less than five minutes, the few people who ate those gray or black fungi had already died!
Everyone looked grief-stricken and somewhat dejected.
They entered the forest full of enthusiasm, eager to show off their skills.
But what about now? Several people died as soon as they came in!
Xiao Tian led his men to search again, but still couldn't find any food.
They could only hunt a few ferocious beasts at random to fill their stomachs first.
Then, when Xiao Tian led the remaining people back to the settlement, he was completely dumbfounded.
"What happened? Why are dozens of people dead or injured in just a short while since I left? What have you bunch of useless trash done?" Xiao Tian grabbed one of his men and questioned him sternly.
This was his first time leading a team.
As a result, he left these useless people to rest on the spot, but so many people died inexplicably.
What are these people doing? Did they stir up a hornet's nest?
"Young City Lord, did you not find any food or water?" Seeing Xiao Tian and the others return empty-handed, the hungry and thirsty crowd was filled with disappointment.
Hearing him start with angry shouts and curses, everyone felt a surge of rage.
Upon seeing Xiao Tian, the captain looked anxious and said, "Young City Lord, you're finally back! The forest is too dangerous! It's full of poisonous insects and ants... even the trees will eat you! Maybe... we should go back."
Only now did they suddenly realize just how powerful Xiao Yu really was!
In the past, as long as he was there, the team never went hungry and almost no one died!
Because whenever someone is in danger, Xiao Yu can always easily resolve the situation.
So they thought the wilderness wasn't actually dangerous!
But now...
It started with someone going missing and someone being bitten.
They then discovered various dangers one after another.
There are man-eating flowering trees, and various venomous snakes and insects roam the bushes...
In just half an hour, more than forty people have been lost!
And this is only the outer area; once you enter the depths of the forest, it will be ten times more dangerous!
Everyone began to regret sending Xiao Yu away! They had to find him as soon as possible!
"You mean going back?"
Xiao Tian kicked the captain away hard, glanced coldly at everyone, and said in a chilling voice, "Have you all forgotten? When we left the city, we made a pledge that we would not return until we found food and water!"
Moreover, the wilderness is inherently extremely dangerous!
I told you to rest, why didn't you find a safe place?
These words made the atmosphere within the team even more delicate.
It was you, Xiao Tian, who made the pledge; what does it have to do with us?
Moreover, when Xiao Yu is leading the team, he will always take responsibility for anything that happens immediately.
Provide a large sum of compensation to the wounded or killed brothers and take care of their families.
What about you, Xiao Tian? Because you know nothing and let everyone rest wherever they want, dozens of people died.
And because of the food you found, several more people have died!
But instead of showing any remorse, you shifted all the blame onto your companions.
They shouldn't have accepted Xiao Tian's benefits in the first place, and they shouldn't have given false testimony for him!
Now, they really regret it!
"Everyone, hang in there a little longer. I know that if we keep going forward, there will be a large underground lake..." At this moment, Xiao Tian was unaware of the change in everyone's opinion of him. However, his resentment towards Xiao Yu grew stronger. He resented that the other party had tricked him and had spoken ambiguously and unclearly about everything.
If they had heard this before, everyone in the team would have been very happy.
But now they are all somewhat fearful, worried that they might accidentally be tricked and killed by Xiao Tian.
But no one dared to defy Xiao Tian, after all, he was the young city lord!
A moment later, led by Xiao Tian, the group entered a natural cave.
"Haha...there really is water, and the water here is clean!"
Everyone was overjoyed to see the water.
Water sources polluted by acid rain outside are either greenish or blackish, or have a putrid smell.
The water here is very clear, and there are small fish in it.
The fact that living organisms can live here means that the water source is fine!
"The young city lord is indeed formidable!"
Immediately, everyone started patting the horses again.
Many people rushed into the lake and scooped up water with their hands to drink.
"Small idea!"
Xiao Tian revealed a hint of smugness, finally winning a round.
The next second, he changed the subject and said, "However, most of the good water sources are now occupied by ferocious beasts. As far as I know, there is a nest of large snakes in this cave, two of which are fifth-order!"
Don't panic, everyone. Just lure the snake away.
As he spoke, Xiao Tian quickly ordered a small team to infiltrate the snake's den and lure the giant snake away.
Despite Xiao Tian's repeated assurances that he would protect them.
A small team had no choice but to obediently enter the snake's lair, hoping to lure away the fifth-tier giant snake.
However, these people had only been inside for a short time.
"what!"
"what!"
Screams sounded one after another.
Followed by.
The snake den fell completely silent.
obviously.
Those people are all dead!
"what happened?"
Upon hearing the noise, Xiao Tian was completely dumbfounded.
This water source was the one Xiao Yu led him to find.
Xiao Yu also taught him how to obtain water.
However, it was Xiao Yu himself who lured out the fifth-tier serpent with the bait.
After Xiao Yu lured out the giant snake, he suddenly sprinkled a large amount of realgar powder, easily driving it away. He himself was unharmed, but Xiao Tian had no idea where to get the realgar powder...
They only had a superficial understanding of the operation process.
