Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 249 Hell Drawing
Compared to his barbecue skills, Du Yi's soup-making skills are actually just average.

After all, Du Yi had honed his skills in grilling meat for a long time, but he had never had a pot for making soup. Moreover, it was not very convenient to drink soup from a snake's mouth, so Du Yi had put it aside for the time being.

However, despite his average skills, Du Yi can still perform some basic operations.

First and foremost, the most important thing is preparing the ingredients. Originally, Du Yi planned to use the beef and mutton he had been using recently, but after thinking for a moment, he decided to change the ingredients.

The reason, of course, is the words spoken by the sun god Ujat.

In other words, "the mobilization of consciousness".

Although Du Yi still didn't quite understand the underlying principles, he could at least vaguely sense the characteristics of the process—the same beef, which ordinary people in Tatunbuto could cook without experience, but he could cook it with remarkable speed and efficiency, which meant that the variable was actually in him.

The people of Tatunbhu worshipped him as a god, so naturally, the things he created were extraordinary.

As a result, the same grilled meat can taste different, and the same ingredients can even produce different effects.

"That's probably how consciousness is triggered. We have to make these people think that this soup is amazing."

So Du Yi abandoned the idea of ​​using beef or mutton, and instead used a piece of meat that he considered to be of higher status.

That is the flesh on the back of the neck of the sun god Ujat.

Although the sun god Ujat's body has hands and feet, the head above the neck is still an eagle's head—rounding up, it should actually be considered a stewed eagle neck. Of course, that's still not enough, so Du Yi simply borrowed some blood from the wound and made some blood tofu.

After being exposed to sunlight, Ujat's neck recovered completely, with no trace of the incision visible. This made Du Yi marvel at the convenience of this new energy solar furnace.

With the main ingredients in place, the flavoring ingredients naturally couldn't be overlooked. Fortunately, Du Yi had always had the habit of collecting various spices, and after adjusting the flavor, several large packets of stewing spices were ready.

Of course, since it was a soup, not a stew, Du Yi paid great attention to the quality of the soup. So he took some of the neck meat of the sun god Ujat, ground it into minced meat, and put the minced meat in every time the soup boiled to filter out the impurities in the soup.

This was a method he had heard of long ago, and now he was putting it to the test.

The entire stewing process involved no open flame. All that was needed was to place the sun god Ujat under the sun to bask in the heat, which would then dissipate on its own. After boiling the soup three times and filtering it three times, Du Yi finally obtained a pot of clear soup with an amber hue.

It was called a pot, but that was only in Du Yi's opinion. In reality, with the amount in this pot, even if dozens of people were thrown in to swim, it wouldn't be crowded. As it turned out, the people of Tatunbhut did just that. When the first group of people struggled out of the city, upon seeing that huge pot of soup, they didn't even care about the still scalding temperature and plunged headfirst into the soup.

"Hey, it's not swimming! It's drinking! It's drinking!"

Du Yi, standing on the shore, could only add a few more words before those who had almost drowned in the soup came to their senses.

However, it turned out that their instinctive reaction was correct. After soaking in the soup, the sores on their bodies even faded, and after drinking the soup, their exhausted bodies began to regain some vitality.

It was at this moment that these people realized they had probably ruined the snake god's grand plan—what was supposed to be a perfectly good pot of clear soup had been turned into bathwater by them, which was truly...

"Fine, as long as it works." Now that things have come to this, Du Yi was too lazy to criticize these people anymore. After all, although the current situation was not quite what he had expected, at least the problem had indeed been solved.

So, after the first batch of people recovered, Du Yi told them to call over more people, or simply to bring over the patients and have them soak in the soup to restore their spirits.

Of course, in order to motivate these people, Du Yi also made sure to replenish the ingredients for this pot of thick soup.

Upon learning that the serpent god had actually cut off the flesh of the sun god to make soup in order to cure them, the entire Tathāgambutō was in an uproar. Even though everyone in the city was sick, they insisted on dragging their ailing bodies over to soak in the soup.

Some people were even secretly drinking the soup that had become bathwater, which was in line with Du Yi's original idea. However, Du Yi strictly forbade this behavior, since who knows if there were any germs or other pathogens in the soup, and it was not safe to drink it.

However, even if Du Yi made a request, the people of Tatunbhut had a way to deal with it—just like now, many people simply soaked in it and didn't come out. As more and more people soaked in the pool, water would always splash up. At this time, as long as you opened your mouth, the refreshing and delicious soup would fall on your tongue.

So, from a distance, what should have been a scene of people queuing to get soup turned into a terrifying picture of hell.

The people who emerged from Tatunbutu had sunken cheeks and lifeless eyes. They dragged their weak bodies toward the giant serpent and toward the steaming cauldron of the sun god. Then, one by one, they jumped into the cauldron and into the rising steam.

Judging from the way they all raised their heads and opened their mouths wide, they probably couldn't even let out a scream.

This scene, which could be described as hellish, was also witnessed by the chosen champions from afar.

They dared not approach the local natives directly, for they knew all too well just how ferocious this plague from the depths of space was—in fact, it could be said that the moment the God of Destruction looked upon this place, the entire planet, starting from Tatunbuto, had already entered its countdown.

But now look...

"That ancient snake actually stewed all these local natives?"

The chosen champions had considered how to deal with the ancient serpent, but they never imagined it would be in this way.

"While this might actually stop the spread of the disease for a while... it's so ruthless!"

Even though they are the chosen champions and are known for their brutality, they would never do something as simple as stewing living people in a large pot.

Only another, even more insane group would do this.

"not good!"

It was at this moment that Elias, who had been deep in thought, suddenly stood up.

"Something happened!"
