Chapter 476: Wild Bullfrog
The Forest of Dead Silence has entered the frozen season, and Lin Su has more work at hand. He was to perform various tests on the current Forest of Silence so that IGO engineers could have a more detailed understanding of the environment that the future superprison would face.
Measuring the temperature, wind speed, and wind direction, and observing the range of the dragon's horns, these are all tasks that Lin Su has to do every day.
In addition, he had to instruct Columbus to train him to acclimatize. As the freezing season continues, the temperature outside has dropped to minus 200 degrees, and it is not too much to describe it as dripping into ice. Training in such an environment is really the ultimate test of willpower.
Without any protection, Columbus was initially able to spend only ten minutes outside. Ten minutes passed, and even then his body would suffer severe frostbite.
Fortunately, Lin Su prepared enough doctor aloe vera to treat frostbite, coupled with Columbus's own self-healing ability, it would not delay his daily training.
In fact, Lin Su didn't want to let Columbus challenge such a high-level difficulty as soon as he came up, but time waited for no one, and the time left for Columbus to adapt to the frozen season environment of the Dead Forest was only three months at most. And there's so much more training he needs to do.
However, Columbus was tired of training, and the task of capturing food fell to Lin Su.
The ultra-low temperature blizzard of minus 200 degrees froze everything in the forest, and the violent blizzard always maintained its maximum intensity without abating. With the exception of Dragonhorn, the blizzard, all the beasts in the Forest of Silence have gone into hibernation.
The blizzard has buried all the traces, and it will not be easy to find the hibernating beasts. Lin Su was faced with only two choices, either to take a flying saucer shell to hunt elsewhere, or to conduct a carpet search in the Forest of Dead Silence.
In order to capture the ingredients, Lin Su had to find a way to wake up one beast after another from hibernation.
The effort always pays off, and while finding food in the Forest of Dead Silence is a bit of a struggle, the harvest is absolutely satisfying.
In order to cope with hibernation, these beasts store a lot of nutrients in their bodies, and they are absolutely amazing to eat.
Lin Su's favorite is the bison frog, a giant frog about the size of an ordinary buffalo. These wild bullfrogs have a pair of horns on the top of their heads and a ring of mane around their necks.
Capture level 35 bison frogs dig a burrow more than 100 meters deep in the ground during hibernation to escape the cold of the frozen season. It's not easy to find them out of the underground caverns.
However, after Lin Su accidentally found the nest of a wild bullfrog, he found a way to deal with the wild bullfrog.
The wild bullfrog is a predator that is sensitive to the outside world and can detect subtle changes on the ground, even when they live deep underground.
When the snowstorm stops, which lasts for the frozen season, they know that the frozen season is over and will run out of their hibernating burrows.
Using their habits, Lin Su would create one ice dome after another on the ground to insulate them from blizzards, so that the wild bullfrogs hiding underground would mistakenly think that the frozen season was over and send them to their doors.
Grabbing a wild bullfrog again, Lin Su took it to the nest of the giant needle bee.
Since the beginning of the frozen season, Lin Su and Columbus have abandoned the flying saucer shells and lived directly in the nest of the giant needle bee. Of course, they didn't do this because the nest of the giant needle bee was more comfortable than the inside of the flying saucer shell, but because they were completely testing the heat preservation performance of the hive.
As the site of the future Super Prison, the Hive will have to defend against the beasts of the forest, as well as the special seasonal changes of the Dead Forest.
When the frozen season comes, the giant needle bees seal the entrance to the nest with a hive-like material, leaving only a small opening for air to enter and exit. Lin Su and Columbus used this small opening as a passage in and out of the hive, and forcibly occupied a place in the hive.
At first, of course, the big needle bees would not allow these two uninvited guests to break into their home and try to kick them out. Lin Su directly created several ice walls to isolate the place he occupied from the surroundings, and the needle bees had no way to break the ice wall, so they could only let Lin Su and Columbus settle down.
The heat insulation ability of the big needle honeycomb is really strong, and there is a snowstorm of minus 200 degrees outside, but the temperature is still above zero inside.
Coupled with the heat generated by the bodies of the thousands of giant needle bees living in the nest**, there is really a feeling of staying in a room with the heating on.
"Come on, come on, try the bison frog hot pot I made." Lin Su greeted Columbus and said.
With a large pot on the rack, the water boils and the water is steaming, and the meat of the bison frog is thinly sliced and soaked inside, which is a great feeling.
As the water in the pot boiled, a disturbing agitation began to appear around them.
In order to survive the frozen season, the big needle bees will reduce their metabolic rate as much as possible at this time, but Lin Su and they always tempt these hungry poor guys with all kinds of food, just like watching a food show late at night, it is strange if they are not restless.
Lin Su turned a blind eye to the protests of the needle bees. Put the sliced buffalofrog meat into the pot on your own.
The taste of the bison frog is absolutely a must, with both the smoothness of the frog meat and the fragrance of the bison meat, Lin Su can't put it down after eating it once.
"How's your habilitation?" Lin Su asked.
"It's been almost half an hour since I was outside, but it's still a problem that there is too little energy stored in my body." Columbus said.
"This matter is not in a hurry, learning food righteousness needs to be gradual, and you are not even a beginner now." Lin Su picked up a piece of meat, dipped it in the sauce and put it in his mouth, and then said, "Your main task is to use this time to familiarize yourself with the environment of the Dead Forest, and you can wait until the super prison is built to learn the meaning of food." ”
"I see." Columbus said.
After Lin Su came, the tabren attribute that Columbus had cultivated before was decreasing little by little, and after about half a month, he returned to his original state of few words.
"I almost forgot an important thing while thinking about adaptation." Lin Su patted his head, "Yilong said that the reason why he recommended you to be the warden of the future super prison is that in addition to your strength is strong enough, the most important thing is that you can release a toxin that can make people and beasts dependent, and you can control the beasts to help you manage the prison together."
I haven't seen you use this technique in any time.
Did you test it when you were at IGO and how effective this poison is on the capture level of beasts? How much control is there? ”
