My Summons Are All Gods-Chapter 426 - Hope Disappears
Chapter 426: Hope Disappears
“Everyone in the tribe has never eaten any other food, so they don’t really care about the taste of the food. Oh, that’s truly a terrible experience. Every meal seems to be purely for the sake of living…”
“It may also be one of the reasons why I will follow His Majesty. Actually, I…”
Apollo was no longer in the mood to continue listening to the rest. He noticed that just as he thought, there were things that could be safely eaten.
But it seemed that Simmons did not carry the seeds of these things with him. Otherwise, he would have taken them out long ago.
“I’ll remember this, Simmons. Do you know what that white wheat seed looks like?”
Simmons shook his head. “I’ve already said that I only took care of fighting in the tribe. No one would disturb me with the usual farm work.”
“But if you guys find something similar, you can let me take a look. Maybe I can remember something.”
Just as Simmons finished speaking, Apollo saw a group of people not far away. They were heading this way.
“Sharena? Why are you back so soon? It’s only noon.”
According to what they said earlier, the group that went out needed to survey for an entire day. In this tense moment of the Sky Dynasty, other than Bulanda, almost no one had the chance to slack off. 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎
“Hehe, isn’t this because we had a major discovery? Take a look at this.”
Apollo poked his head over and saw the wheat seed in Sharena’s palm.
“Where did you find it!”
Everyone could not help but exclaim in surprise when they saw this scene.
This meant that the Sky Dynasty would no longer lack food from now on.
Those who possessed divine power would also use their divine power to speed up the ripening of plants. They did not have to worry about starving to death before the next batch of wheat ripened.
“Quick, quick, find a place with good soil and quickly try it out.”
As Apollo spoke, the others scattered in a hubbub and finally chose a place.
Everyone watched the seed enter the soil as if they were looking at the Sky Dynasty’s hope.
After the seed was covered, everyone stopped what they were doing and surrounded the seed. Everyone contributed a certain amount of divine power to the seed.
Apollo saw that the weather today was not very bright. He even raised a Sun Domain in the sky to provide energy for the seed.
Soon, about 10 minutes later, the wheat broke out of the ground and was already golden in color.
“We made it!”
“We can have bread in the future!”
“What are you thinking? I want to eat it raw!”
Everyone clapped and cheered. As the biggest contributor to this matter, Sherena stood proudly at the side. The pride on her face could not be hidden.
In fact, everyone knew that it was a loss from the energy point of view.
After all, everyone had used so much effort to ripen such a small amount of wheat. It was not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.
However, in the future, they could still use the carcass of monsters or the broken bones as fertilizer for the growth of the wheat. This way, it was equivalent to absorbing nutrients from the monster’s body. The thing that they did not lack the most was monsters.
“Let’s plan a field here. I will come here every day to bask in the sun for the wheat. Today, we don’t have to hold back our stomachs.”
Apollo said with relief. The golden wheat in front of them was the proof that the Sky Dynasty could spend a long time here!
“We have to give this wheat a name. Let’s call it Alextasar. It’s a giant dragon that brings life…”
“The style is a bit wrong. I think we should use Goldie. It’s a bit more amiable…”
After seeing this, everyone began to plan the ridiculous thing of giving this wheat a name. However, at this time when food was scarce, this wheat could indeed take on this honor.
Apollo carefully stroked the wheat. He suddenly felt that it was such happy thing to be full.
However, in the next second, Simmons picked up the wheat and held it in his hand, frowning as he looked at it.
Under everyone’s astonished gazes, Simmons slowly said, “It’s poisonous.”
“Poisonous?”
Apollo saw the hope of everyone, a wheat that was worthy of having a name was harshly picked up by Simmons. At this moment, he was fuming.
Simmons slowly walked to the bottom of the Great Wall and took a wheat seed. Then, he threw the entire wheat out.
Before everyone exploded, Simmons slowly explained.
“This isn’t something edible that I’ve ever seen.”
“Let the monsters test whether it’s poisonous or not.”
“After all, they only eat poisonous things.”
Apollo saw that this was done to test the toxicity of the wheat. Although his heart ached, he also felt a little better.
“But the monsters are still eating us. We are not poisonous.”
Someone in the crowd asked.
Simmons explained, “We have divine power. They can increase their cultivation by eating us.”
“But plants are different. If they are plants, they absorb nutrients from the toxicity. They won’t even look at plants that are not poisonous.”
“For example, the white wheat that we eat. In fact, monsters aren’t interested most of the time.”
Apollo understood what Simmons meant. In other words, if the wheat was poisonous, then in the eyes of the monsters, the wheat was something that could be eaten.
If the wheat was safe and non-poisonous, then in the eyes of the monsters, it was no different from a stone. Naturally, they wouldn’t be interested.
“What’s the situation up there?”
Apollo shouted loudly to the people on the tower. Only that person could see the situation outside clearly.
Not long after, a reply came from the tower.
“What did you throw out just now?”
“Those monsters are fighting over it. They have eaten it all!”
When everyone heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue.
If a monster was willing to eat something, it meant that it was poisonous. If a person ate it, it would rot from the inside.
This wheat, which was almost treated as a treasure by everyone, had almost killed them.
“It really is poisonous…”
Simmons muttered, “I’ve said it before. In this place, only the white wheat can be eaten. The other plants are all poisonous.”
Everyone shook their heads and sighed for a while before they dispersed and continued with their work.
The person who was the most affected was still Sharena. She thought that she had brought great hope to the Sky Dynasty, but she did not expect that it would be a huge threat.
This meant that their trip had been in vain.
“No! We must solve the problem of food today!”
