During the break, Chen Wen also had Dennis help process the brown Aussie snake.
The brown Aussie snake also provided a new attribute for Chen Wen.
[Poison Resistance (Gold): Enhanced resistance to snake venom, significantly increased resistance to neurotoxins, and significantly increased resistance to hemotoxins, but the effect is halved when facing venomous snakes from other continents]
This is a very strong attribute in Australia.
On other continents, while useful, its value is far less than that of a gold attribute.
However, with the brown Aussie snake’s attribute being two bad and one good, this was the choice they had to make.
Having selected the attribute, they enjoyed a nice rest in the desert all morning.
Everyone was also getting ready to continue on.
After all, ti was getting tighter, and they couldn’t stay in the oasis for long.
After packing up their supplies, everyone decided to set off in the afternoon.
...
Afternoon.
The prepared group set off again.
They needed to make quick progress this afternoon to reach the area beyond the third oasis.
Though the road ahead would still mainly be desert, it was obviously much easier to traverse.
Because as they got closer to the Kimberley Plateau, water resources beca more abundant.
And there were more oases.
As long as they were careful of the threats from poisonous snakes and insects, traveling would be much easier than before.
Just as Chen Wen and the others were leaving the oasis.
The whistling kite soaring in the sky suddenly lowered its altitude and called out loudly.
The others didn’t understand the aning of the kite’s call, but Chen Wen heard it clearly.
It had spotted a group of cals.
And this group of cals t Chen Wen’s requirents well, slowly approaching them.
Hearing this news, Chen Wen was a bit speechless.
The days of urgently needing cals were over, and now they didn’t need to ta cals anymore, but here ca a stable cal group led by a male cal.
It was a bit awkward!
Chen Wen thought for a mont and said to everyone, "The whistling kite seems to have found a group of cals, and they are approaching us. What do you think?"
A cal group?
Hearing this, everyone had the sa thought as Chen Wen.
They didn’t lack cals now, so what was the point of taming more?
But at that mont, Dennis offered a different perspective: "Why not give it a try? The more cals we have, the more advantageous it is for us. If we can ta a few more cals, we can even rotate riding them to speed up our journey, which is better than riding for a while and then walking for a while. Plus, with more cals, we can distribute our supplies, lessening the burden on them. What do you think?"
This insight brightened everyone’s eyes.
Just as Dennis said.
After riding the cals for tens of minutes, they all had to walk to let the cals rest.
After all, although these beasts were gentle, they would get a little grumpy when they were overly tired.
Thus, over the course of their journey, a significant portion of their ti was spent walking.
Upon hearing this, Chen Wen was also intrigued.
Just as Dennis said, if they could ta cals, it would be beneficial.
So Chen Wen decided to go and take a look at this cal group.
After walking forward for about five more minutes.
Chen Wen saw the cal group approaching them slowly.
Utilizing his [Eagle Eye Vision], Chen Wen quickly saw the composition of the cal group.
There was a very strong male drodary cal, seven adult female drodary cals, and four or five subadult drodary cals.
It was a relatively standard wild drodary cal group.
And what delighted Chen Wen most was that the male drodary was a special animal, with a temperant that was also greedy for food!
Chen Wen felt that he loved this trait.
Greedy for food!
Without hesitation, he said to everyone, "I have a feeling that there’s a high chance we’ll be able to take down this cal group!"
Hearing Chen Wen’s words, everyone was stunned.
They didn’t know why Chen Wen suddenly beca so confident.
But confidence was a good thing.
Everyone imdiately said, "If that’s the case, let’s try it then!"
Chen Wen nodded confidently, taking a large bag full of a mixture of barley and wheat as the staple feed from his cal.
Cals mainly eat prickly plants and desert shrubs, but they eat that out of necessity.
When staple feed is available, cals prefer to consu high-energy grains like this.
Especially wheat, which is a favorite among cals.
Chen Wen took the wheat and slowly approached the cal group.
The cal group, noticing Chen Wen, imdiately took on a vigilant stance.
They watched Chen Wen very cautiously, fearing that this strange two-legged creature would suddenly leap forward and bite them to death.
Seeing the cals’ wary posture, Chen Wen pondered for a mont, then proactively activated the [Gua Fragrance] attribute.
Soon, a rich fruity aroma began to emanate from Chen Wen’s body.
Even Hua Yun and the others behind him could sll the scent.
"So fragrant!"
Hua Yun couldn’t help but say, "Did you sll that? There’s a very strong fruity fragrance."
Dennis nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Yes, I slled it. It’s very fragrant! Just like that sweet lon we once ate!"
Where did it co from?
The group couldn’t help but look around, a bit puzzled.
But they stopped discussing where the fragrance was coming from.
On Chen Wen’s side, he had already gotten close to the cal group.
...
The perating fruity aroma slowly drifted through the air, entering the cals’ nostrils.
Cals looked around absentmindedly, drooling uncontrollably.
For the cals, the fruity aroma was even more enticing than wheat!
If we were to draw an inappropriate comparison.
Desert shrubs are like coarse cornal bread to cals, and wheat is like fine white buns.
As for fruits, that’s like a supre bun produced by a top-notch pastry chef, with gold leaf—an ultimate, exquisitely fragrant baozi.
With stuffing like monk jump over the wall.
So, after determining the fruity aroma was coming from Chen Wen.
The cal group stirred and unexpectedly began moving towards Chen Wen.
"Yes, yes, just like that."
Chen Wen grinned and decided to stand in place and wait for the cals to arrive.
Soon, as the male drodary ca close to Chen Wen, he decisively turned off the Gua Fragrance attribute.
As the fruity aroma disappeared, the male drodary looked around in bewildernt.
Who am I?
Where did I co from?
Where am I going?
The drodary was dazed but saw a friendly smiling face.
"Hungry?"
The face made a strange sound, but the drodary understood.
It didn’t have ti to wonder why it could understand this sound and instead nodded blankly, "Hungry!"
"Want sothing to eat?"
The face smiled even more kindly, even taking out a plump-looking bag.
Opening the bag.
The contents, resembling sand, imdiately grabbed the drodary’s attention.
Wheat!
Edible wheat!
To the drodary, the fruits were too pretentious.
But wheat, now that was practical!
The drodary felt dizzy.
Is this ant for ?
The two-legged creature seed to read the drodary’s thoughts.
He said nonchalantly, "Go on, eat! We’re buddies!"
Buddies!
Though the aning of the word was unclear, the drodary understood it was now this two-legged creature’s buddy!
The drodary buried its head into the bag and took a big mouthful of wheat.
The feeling of wheat rubbing in its mouth...
The drodary couldn’t help but squint its eyes: Worth dying for!
After eating a few mouthfuls, the drodary gathered its thoughts and looked at the two-legged creature feeding it.
The creature nodded satisfyingly and asked, "Join , and you’ll have all the food you need in the future! Want to co with us?"
The drodary imdiately agreed without hesitation: "Yes!"
