Chapter 1692: We Want To Eat Sheep. Sheep That Can Run
The iron head eagle roughly went one round above the Blue Grassland, and Mag was focusing downward the whole time, but he still couldn’t find any trace of the black goats.
If they really did live in the Blue Grassland, and were about to become an ingredient supply for Mamy Restaurant, they should at least have a minimum number. They shouldn’t be this hard to find, right?
“System, is there something wrong with your information? Or… you’ve lost the sheep that you are rearing?” asked Mag inwardly.
“Could the host complete the mission independently,” answered the system.
Mag rolled his eyes. “You are a dog if that goat isn’t in this Blue Grassland.”
The system gravely said, “Could the Host please respect this system. This System isn’t a dog system!”
Mag chuckled. “Hehe. I’m praising you for raising your sheep so well. You are a good shepherd dog.”
“Of course. As an all-around God of Cookery Cultivation System, shepherd…” The system’s voice faltered, and then furiously said, “Isn’t a shepherd dog a dog too?”
“I don’t know whether a shepherd dog is a dog, but you’re a real dog.” Mag rolled his eyes. God knew where the system had reared its goats.
“Look. There’s a tent over there, and there seemed to be herders too,” Yabemiya said, pointing forward to the right.
Mag looked where she was pointing, and that was a place that was close to the grassland’s northwestern borders. There was a towering snow mountain far away, and the melted snow converged into a river, and gradually flowed into the grassland. Meanwhile, those colorful tents that were stitched together from all kinds of beast skins were set up along the two sides of the river.
“Since there are herders, let’s go down and take a look. Perhaps they know where we could catch that goat.” Mag had an idea, so he made the iron head eagle dive down.
“Woo…”
An ear-piercing clarion came from the herders’ tent, and the women and children ran back into the tents. The men were holding longbows and spears as they stood guard in front of the tents. They were watching the giant eagle diving down with worry and fear on their faces.
They had never seen such a huge eagle in the Blue Grassland before. The snow eagles that they reared couldn’t even compare to one of its claws.
However, they had nowhere to retreat. Their families and loved ones were right behind them.
“Chief, what’s that thing?!” a young man asked the old man in front of him in a quivering voice.
“It might have come from the back of the snow mountain. Don’t panic, everyone. If its target is the sheep, we’ll let it be. If its target is the tents behind us, then we’ll have to stop it with our lives!” said Eddie gravely.
“Yes!” all the herders answered in unison.
However, that giant eagle didn’t dash toward the tents right away. It circled one round before landing on a mound next to them gradually, and a group of people disembarked from that giant eagle’s back.
“Look, Chief. There are people on that eagle’s back!”
“Those people don’t seem to be hostile toward us.”
All the herders were shocked when they saw that, but their expressions were much more relieved.
“Don’t let down your guard yet. We’re not certain that they are good or bad people yet,” Eddie said gravely as his eyes locked on the group that disembarked from the eagle’s back like a falcon.
There were a total of 12 people: one man, nine women, and two children. Judging from their clothes, they shouldn’t belong to the grassland. Since they could tame this giant eagle to be their steed, they definitely weren’t ordinary people.
The men here were just an ordinary herding tribe on this grassland; there was no way they could afford to antagonize these people.
“They seem to be rather afraid of us?” Amy hugged Ugly Duckling as she looked at those herders, who were holding longbows and spears, with perplexment. “But we are so adorable.”
“Meow, meow~” Ugly Duckling gave her an adorable look in her arms.
“Excluding you,” said Amy without any hesitation after giving it a quick glance.
“Meow~” Ugly Duckling was immediately deflated, and it rolled its eyes while it lost all its dreams.
“We’re considered as uninvited guests, so it’s natural that they’re wary of us. We just have to act normal later.” Mag smiled, and then led everyone toward the tent.
These herders didn’t look too different from the herders in other places. The silver blue grass had provided a hard-to-find fertile meadow in the northwestern region for them, while the melted snow solved their drinking water issue.
However, perhaps it was due to the silver blue grass, but these herders’ complexion had a tinge of blue apart from the usual tan, though they weren’t as blue as the natives of Pandora. They looked almost no different from humans.
Eddie loudly shouted, “Halt! Who are you? Why are you guys here?!”
Mag stopped about 20 meters away from those herders and smiled. “How do you do? We are here for a vacation. We were simply attracted by this blue grassland, and we mean no harm.”
He was worried that these herders wouldn’t know the common tongue at first, but this elderly herder seemed to be well-versed in it.
Eddie began to size Mag up. This young man didn’t look like a powerhouse. His physique wasn’t even as good as that of the young men in the tribe, and he also didn’t have any weapons on him. He had a warm smile, and didn’t look like a bad guy.
Meanwhile, a four to five years old little girl was standing next to him with a weird little thing in her arms.
Behind him was a bevy of beautiful women.
Yes, extremely beautiful women. The grassland couldn’t have such exquisite women. Regardless of whether it was the blistering cold wind from the snow mountain or the hot sun throughout the day, they all could make the women in the grassland lose their exquisiteness.
Of course, since he could possess such a bevy of beautiful women, this man had to have a very esteemed identity. He wasn’t someone that their tiny tribe could antagonize. This was the rationale that Eddie learned during his travels when he was young.
The herders were staring at the beautiful women behind the man in a daze. This was a beautiful scenery that had never appeared in the grassland before: beauties that they might never see again in their lives.
After making sure that the other party wasn’t hostile, and was an existence that their tribe couldn’t antagonize, Eddie kept his longbow and indicated to the herders to be at ease. He placed one hand across his chest, bowed slightly to Mag, and respectfully said, “Esteemed guests, we welcome your arrival.”
The herders swiftly changed their inappropriate expression and stares after seeing Eddie so respectful. They, too, bowed in greeting nervously.
Mag smilingly said, “You are being too courteous. We’re simply passing by. We heard that roast mutton in the grassland is great, so we want to try it out.”
“Mm-hmm. We want to eat sheep. Sheep that can run.” Amy came forward and pointed at those sheep which were grazing afar.
“What a cute little girl!” The herders’ eyes all lit up when they saw Amy. The herders’ children grew up on the horseback and tumbled around in the grassland. They were all muddy little brats, and the herders had never seen such an exquisite little girl before.
Eddie’s eyes lit up. He slapped his chest, and confidently said, “Roast mutton. That is what we, the Buck Tribe, are best at. This way please, esteemed guests. I will get my people to slaughter the sheep, and I will roast it for you personally.”
