Chapter 259 The Queen May Be Saved...
"There are also divine weapons and armor, ferocious beast eggs, honey, and so on, all of which are extremely powerful!"
Divine weapons and armor can directly enhance combat power.
Beast eggs, honey, and milk are also excellent supplements.
If there are enough enhancement pills, the strength of the Beast City can increase several times over.
"Let's buy it next time!" In the end, Hou Ji shook his head.
The main reason is that I didn't plan to buy anything this time, so I didn't bring many energy stones.
But he had already memorized what good things Dragon City had to offer.
I'll report to Her Majesty first.
We need to have a proper discussion with the higher-ups about which specific goods to trade with Longcheng.
Let's buy them together next time we come!
"In that case, I'll see you off first."
……
A moment later, below Dragon City, at the entrance to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Zhu Gang, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, finally saw his eldest brother and third brother return.
"Big brother! Third brother! Why did you bring so much stuff?"
Seeing the large pile of things Hou Ji and the other two brought back, Zhu Gang glanced at them with some doubt and then asked eagerly, "How is it? What exactly are those humans plotting? When do we make our move?"
"Second brother! Actually... we've all misunderstood the Lord of Dragon City!" Seeing Zhu Gang's expression, Hou Ji immediately realized his mistake. He was still focused on starting a war with Dragon City, so he quickly explained.
"The Lord of Dragon City is a good man, and he's very friendly to us orcs..."
Next, Hou Ji briefly recounted his personal experiences and encounters in Longcheng.
Zhu Gang's brows furrowed repeatedly before he finally spoke.
"Big brother! Third brother! Don't worry! Since you've both said so, then Longcheng is indeed our great benefactor! Although I, Old Pig, am a scoundrel, I will never repay kindness with enmity!"
Pig Gang does indeed hate humans to the core, but... he also has a clear sense of right and wrong.
I confirmed with my elder brother that Dragon City had goodwill toward the orcs.
Moreover, it is a fact that he saved his third brother and a group of orc companions.
Naturally, he would no longer make unreasonable demands.
"It's good that you think that way!" Seeing that the second brother was no longer stubborn and was determined to start a war with Longcheng, Hou Ji and Gou Dao both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go! We're going to see Her Majesty the Queen! I brought back Bodhi tea; it might work for Her Majesty!" Hou Ji looked at the ceramic jar the ram-horned girl was holding, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"Is this thing useful?" Pig Gang asked with a doubtful look.
"It will definitely be useful!" Hou Ji said confidently.
Previously, when Gou Dao met his two elder brothers, he mentioned that there was a Bodhi fruit in Dragon City that might be able to save the Queen.
However... Hou Ji and Zhu Gang had tried countless high-level herbs, but to no avail.
Ultimately, they could only watch helplessly as the Queen's health deteriorated.
Now, almost a year has passed, and I haven't seen the Queen again.
I tasted Bodhi tea at the Lord's Mansion in Longcheng, and I thought it tasted good.
However... Hou Ji was most concerned about the effects of the tea.
As an eighth-level expert, his physical body was incredibly strong, and ordinary medicines were no longer effective against him.
However, after just one sip of Bodhi tea, he felt relaxed and refreshed.
"Then let's go!" Although Zhu Gang didn't understand, he still followed Hou Ji and hurried towards the temple.
A moment later, outside the temple.
Hou Ji and the other two were holding a ceramic jar containing brewed Bodhi tea.
"Step back! I appreciate your kindness!"
But... these things are no longer effective against me! You need not trouble yourselves with them any longer!
As always, the Queen refused to allow the three city lords to enter the depths of the cave.
Only that ethereal yet majestic voice emanated from the depths of the cave.
But if you listen closely, you'll notice a hint of weariness and helplessness in the Queen's voice...
"Your Majesty, this Bodhi tree is a sacred tree, and Bodhi tea is equally effective. You'll see once you try it!" Hou Ji quickly advised, seeing that the Queen was about to send them away.
"Yes! Your Majesty, the Bodhi fruit is said to have the effect of bringing the dead back to life and healing flesh and bones. Please try it," Gou Dao said anxiously, with a hint of pleading in his voice.
As he spoke, he handed the ceramic jar he was holding towards the cave.
Originally, he was very confident that the Bodhi fruit could cure the queen.
But when they learned of the Queen's condition, they found that she was no longer able to eat.
As one can imagine, the situation was far more serious than he had imagined.
"Very well." The Queen's voice echoed again from inside the cave.
The next second, a gentle breeze blew by, and the ceramic jar flew deep into the cave.
Then, the three of them stared intently into the depths of the cave, waiting anxiously.
"Phew~ This tea..." After waiting for about fifteen minutes, the Queen's voice suddenly rang out in the cave, sounding more relaxed than before, "It does have some effect, no wonder it's the Bodhi Tree!"
"What? It really works?"
Upon hearing this, the three Hou brothers exchanged glances, all with tears in their eyes.
Previously, Hou Ji and Zhu Gang searched the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, collecting various high-level herbs, all in an effort to cure the Queen. However, in the end, it was all in vain, to the point that even the Queen completely lost hope.
But now, perhaps the Queen can be saved...
……
As night fell, the glowing realm once again enveloped the entire Dragon City.
Everyone in Dragon City closed their eyes and enjoyed this daily baptism of holy light.
Meanwhile, in Dragon City, inside the City Lord's Mansion.
"Hehe! Tonight we're having some amazing food again!"
Xiao Yu looked at the peanut field in the plantation at the entrance, which was growing wildly and ripening in the blink of an eye. A slight smile appeared on his lips as he looked on with great anticipation.
Once the dozens of peanut plants were fully ripe, he stomped his foot, causing the plantation to tumble slightly.
Then, thousands of white peanut shells were revealed.
Wow! There are so many!
Upon seeing this, the women immediately helped pick the flowers one by one.
A moment later, after the peanuts were harvested, Xinglan looked at Xiao Yu with a puzzled expression and asked, "Brother-in-law! Are these peanuts really delicious? How should we eat them?"
"Hehe! You can press oil from it, boil it, stir-fry it, deep-fry it—everything is a top-notch delicacy! Don't rush! I'll teach you!" Xiao Yu said with a smile, leading the women into the kitchen.
"The first and simplest method is boiled peanuts!"
As Xiao Yu spoke, he instructed the slime to wash a large bowl of peanuts.
I would first boil a pot of water.
Once the water boils, pour in the washed peanuts.
Cover the pot and start cooking.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.
To enhance the flavor of the peanuts, cover the pot and let them simmer for a while after cooking.
Of course... seasonings such as salt and chili need to be added in sequence during this process.
Chili peppers, star anise, and spices can be replaced with alternative plants in the city lord's plantation. Although these plants are not fully mature yet, they can still be used to some extent.
