Chapter 417: Surprise Donkey
"Storing water ......"
Meng Jianwen took a closer look, and saw the body of the Eagle Catching Demon Spider, standing upside down on the sand, except for the two front feet that were used as supports, the remaining eight long furry legs were all spread around the body.
The feet of the Eagle Catcher Spider are thin and long, but they are covered with fluff, and after the handstand, the fluff that originally followed the pores downwards is now open and quietly facing the sky.
The tips of the fluff, which are so thin that they are almost invisible, have become dilated in all directions due to the dry climate, like nerves full of hunger and thirst, searching for moisture in the air.
In the desert, the temperature difference between day and night is huge, and in the middle of the night, there will be some water droplets in the air, which are as small as dust, making people feel cool.
If someone opens their mouth to suck, they won't even be aware of the storage of water droplets, let alone collect these small and erratic droplets.
But the Eagle Catcher Spider has a way, and the fine fluff on their feet has an incomparably strong adsorption force.
It can absorb even the slightest trace of moisture from the air, which is so small that it is invisible to the naked eye.
Most of the fluff on the feet of the Eagle Catcher Demon Spider who stood upside down in front of Yichen and Dream Jianwen had become wet, and some even condensed into water droplets.
When the water droplets reach a certain amount, they slowly flow down the fluff into the body, providing the water necessary for the survival of the falconry demon spider.
This process is slow and boring, and the falconers tend to start in the middle of the night until the sun comes out in the morning.
During this period, you can't move your body at will, and even a little breeze will blow away a trace of moisture in the air.
This is also the reason why the Eagle Catching Demon Spiders knew that Yichen and Meng Jianwen were nearby, but they ignored them.
They need water, but there is no large amount of water in the desert, and the falconer spider has always relied on the fluff on its feet to absorb water and store it in its body.
This is a way to survive in extreme environments, and the Eagle Catching Spider has been doing it for generations, and although it may not look very elegant, it is very effective to use.
But Yichen had a question in his heart, Hu Lai had secretly said that if he saw a hawker spider with a particularly round belly, he should try to avoid it.
As the sky gradually brightened, Yichen clearly saw that among the dozens of eagle trapping demon spiders, there were at least five of them, completely different from the slightly flattened bellies of the other companions, their bellies were round like leather balls.
And these five big-bellied falconry demon spiders, mixed with their companions, do the same thing as them, and don't see anything abnormal.
Dada, Dada......
Just as Yichen was thinking about whether to leave as much as possible, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from far to near.
There were about 30 people in the group, led by four on horseback, and the rest of the people walked far behind.
"Two brothers, do you want to buy some good trauma medicine?"
An old man who was quite handsome, but his two front teeth were sticking out of his mouth, was retracting the reins, and looked at Yichen and Meng Jianwen with a smile on the horse.
"Ah......h If you don't buy it, you go away and choke to death!"
The four horses, marching quickly, splashed more than a foot high in the dust raised in the desert.
Meng Jianwen sneezed, quickly covered his mouth, and replied angrily.
"Didn't you participate in the Singo Murderous Qi Training Ground? It's better to buy some trauma medicine to be safe and prepared. ”
The old man didn't mind Meng Jianwen's attitude, he thought that he had seen a lot, and he still maintained a professional smile:
"Once a fight starts, injuries are inevitable...... There are more monks and less porridge, and when the time comes, my medicine will be sold out, and no matter how high the price is, you won't be able to buy it. ”
Regardless of whether Meng Jianwen was willing or not, the old man with buckteeth was gushing, saying that his trauma medicine was miraculous, as if he could bring the dead back to life.
"The medicine is not very good, but your mouth is very sharp. Yichen couldn't help but tease.
He watched the Eagle Catching Demon Spider store water in a strange way, and before he could sigh, he was interrupted by the chatter of the old man with buckteeth.
Although he was very annoyed in his heart, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with people shouting and selling medicine, and Yichen was embarrassed to get angry.
"Thank you brother for the compliment, don't worry, my medicine is much better than my mouth. If you don't believe it...... Hey, hurry up and bring it to this brother. ”
The old man beckoned to the back, and a donkey cart came over.
Without waiting for the donkey to stop, a small man jumped out of the donkey cart, holding two medicine bottles in his hand, and hurriedly ran to the bucktooth old man.
"Okay, show me. Meng Jianwen saw that the old man with buckteeth was trying his best to sell, so he pretended to take the medicine bottle.
Yichen had treasures on his body, so he naturally didn't take these trauma drugs in his eyes, he looked at the donkey cart casually.
But I suddenly felt that the handlebar figure driving the car was a little familiar, and I couldn't remember who it was.
Coincidentally, he turned his face and looked at Yichen, the other party seemed to be frightened, his body trembled violently, and then slowly calmed down.
This is a face with a stiff facial expression, and judging from the facial features, Yichen has never seen such a person in his impression.
"Brother, this medicine is good, whether it is a knife wound or a sword wound, it only takes a little bit to ensure that it will heal in a moment......"
The old man with buckteeth said as he stretched out his hand and gestured.
Because his teeth are exposed, he speaks without wind and saliva splashes.
"There is no basis for the words, cough cough...... Can you turn around?"
Meng Jianwen suddenly felt the stars on his face, and hurriedly took two steps back, rolled up his sleeves and wiped his face.
If it was really a top-grade trauma medicine, he could consider buying a little, after all, when he came out of the General's Mansion, he brought a lot of crystal coins, but only a small bottle of medicine.
"Who's that...... Little man, be a little sharp, give this brother a real yàn on the spot. ”
As soon as Meng Jianwen said it, the old man with buckteeth was obedient, and quickly turned around, but he greeted the little man.
"Okay—"
When the little man heard this, he responded with a long voice.
He took out a dagger from his bosom and jumped back to the donkey cart.
Puff~~ As soon as he raised his hand, the little man put the dagger in his hand at the donkey's buttocks.
Immediately blood splattered from the wound, and the little man threw the dagger, opened the lid of the medicine bottle, and was about to give medicine to the donkey.
This move is to prove to Meng Jianwen with practical actions that the medicine sold by the old man with buckteeth is definitely a top-grade medicine.
Phew—The donkey was attacked by the little man, and his buttocks ached, and he wailed, and rushed forward with the donkey cart.
The handle of the car originally had the opportunity to grab the reins and control the donkey, but after he saw Yichen, he was always restless, and actually threw the reins in his hand aside, allowing the donkey to jump in pain.
"Bad ......"
Seeing this, the bucktoothed old man screamed in surprise, and a shocked look appeared on his face.
His original intention was to figure out the dagger wound on the guò donkey to test the efficacy of the wound medicine.
Even if the donkey jumps a few times, as long as the reins are reined, the donkey is forcibly stopped, and then the trauma medicine is applied, and the matter is completed.
It's just that he didn't expect that the handle of the car not only did not control the donkey according to the prior instructions, but lost the reins, causing the donkey to run wildly.
Such a result, the old man with buckteeth was very dissatisfied, but it did not make him lose his temper.
What really made the bucktooth old man nervous, and even frightened, was that he saw the falconry demon spider in front of him.
If it was an ordinary Eagle Catching Demon Spider, even if there were more of them, with the strength of their third-order Demonic Beasts, they would not pose much of a threat to them who had cultivated to at least the high level of War Generals.
However, at a glance, the bucktooth old man found several of them with particularly round bellies.
These guys are not easy to mess with, he wants to stop the donkey cart, but he can't do it!
The falcon demon spiders, after working hard for most of the night, basically achieved their respective goals, and the water collected was enough to maintain their survival for the past few days.
It was already getting dark, and in a few moments, the blazing sun was about to shine in, and they were ready to evacuate while the temperature was not too high.
Hearing the screams of the donkey, the Falconer Spider knew that the danger was coming, so it quickly spread out, levitating its disc-like body on the surface of the sand, writhing its body, and each of them fled with all their might.
One by one, the falconry spiders, like frisbees thrown from people's hands, set off a gust of wind on the surface of the desert, kicking up sand and dust, and making a rustling sound.
Although in Yichen's opinion, such a speed is not fast, the vast majority of falconry demon spiders have at least avoided the donkey's travel route.
In just a few breaths, there were only five or six eagle trappers left in the desert, and the rest, after escaping a certain distance, burrowed their bodies into the sand one by one, and kept diving.
With the disappearance of the body of the falconer, the surface of the desert was calm again, and not even a trace could be seen.
The rest of the eagle trappers were all slow-moving creatures with big bellies, round balls, and knew that the donkey cart was coming straight for them, but they couldn't leave quickly.
It was very difficult to even dodge, but they tried to move their fat bodies, moving as far as they could, and two of them simply put their feet away and rolled like balls.
Bang, bang - the injured and frightened donkey, almost panicked and scared away, and he didn't take care of the inconvenience of the Eagle Catching Spider at all, and still stepped straight over.
The hard donkey hooves stepped on the body of the Eagle Catching Demon Spider, and with a crisp cracking sound, the huge belly of the Eagle Catching Demon Spider instantly cracked open.
Slap, smack~~ Not only that, the donkey cart dragged behind the donkey was even pressed and collided, and several other eagle trapping demon spiders were also disemboweled.
It stands to reason that a mere third-order demonic beast has been disemboweled, and it shouldn't cause trouble.
But in fact, it was precisely because of the bursting stomach of the Eagle Catching Demon Spider that it pushed everyone into danger.
Buzz~~~~ Suddenly, from the bursting belly of the Eagle Catcher Demon Spider, a large piece of black pressure flew out - Killer Bee!
