Chapter 351: Capturing the Rock Armadillo
In order to catch the rock armadillo, Lin Su took a flying saucer shell to the Chogori Mountains, where the rock armadillo had recently been sighted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Rock armadillos mainly grow in mountainous areas, and their best camouflage is the rock armor on their body. If a rock armadillo is curled up motionless, it will be difficult to spot them when you walk up to it.
Like the common armadillo, the rock armadillo has a diurnal and nocturnal habit. During the day, they hide in their burrows and only come out at night. If you want to find a rocky armadillo in a vast mountainous area, you can't do it without a lot of effort.
Because of the limited time, Lin Su couldn't wait for a rabbit to wait in the Qiaogori Mountains, he had to find a way to lure the rock armadillo out.
The rock armadillo is an omnivorous creature that will be added to its menu if anything smaller than it is. However, rock armadillos have a very special habit, that is, they are particularly fond of eating carrion. Wherever there are carcasses of large animals in the mountains, the shadows of rocky armadillos can be seen there.
In order to lure out the rocky armadillo, Lin Su found and killed a bighorn ox that could often be seen in the mountains. The horns on the top of the cow's head are joined together, and the thick skull gives them superior striking power.
A single Bighorn has a capture level of 17 and can easily fly a heavy tank with its horns. Herds of Bighorns are even more dangerous, and when hundreds of Bighorns run, they are like a torrent of steel, and there is no obstacle to stop them in their tracks.
In line with the principle of not wasting food, most of the meat on the Giant Horn was removed by Lin Su, stewed in water, and then dipped in soy sauce and eaten. Leaving only the cow's head that is difficult to prepare and the tendons on its body that are difficult to handle, the smell of these decaying parts is enough to attract rocky armadillos within a radius of several tens of kilometers.
"Seasoned octopus is really a very versatile ingredient, and it is not only possible to produce high-quality soy sauce but also to make a top-quality hot sauce, and this boiled giant horn beef tastes really good when dipped in hot sauce. ”
Lin Su let the saucer shell hover directly above the carcass of the bighorn cow, observing the movement below while tasting the ingredients he had just gotten.
The attraction of the carcass of the bighorn was extraordinary, and it was only ten minutes before predators followed the smell to find it.
The first to discover the carcass of a bighorn was an iron-billed vulture, its scalpel-sharp mouth that easily tore through the tough fur of its prey and removed the last shred of flesh from the bone.
Although the carcass of the Bighorn had been hollowed out, the Ironbill Vulture was unimpressed. There are many scavengers in the Chogori Mountains, whether it's a black-spotted hyena or a big-jawed ant, that can be the first to take the most valuable parts of a carcasse.
The purpose of the Ironbill Vulture is clear, which is to fill its stomach as much as possible before the other competitors arrive.
Just as the iron-billed vulture was about to land on the carcass of the bighorn cow, a cold light suddenly crossed the sky, and the iron-billed vulture's body suddenly lost control and plunged to the ground.
"There's only so much bait for me to eat. Lin Su muttered while eating meat.
Fearing that the intimidation would scare the rock armadillos away, Lin Su had no choice but to use a little bit to protect his bait. However, he soon realized that he had miscalculated the distribution of scavengers in the Chogori Mountains, and not long after the first iron-billed vulture fell, other scavengers came one after another.
The smell of decaying corpses is an invitation to these scavengers to come and have a feast.
Lin Su continuously condensed the ice needle to cast a point, and the scavengers around the carcass of the giant horn cow had already formed a circle.
"This won't scare the rock armadillos away, will it?" Lin Su was a little unsure.
Just as he was considering whether to move the beasts that had been spotted to other places, the carcass of the Bighorn Ox on the ground was suddenly dragged into the ground by something, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"It's really underestimating you to launch an attack directly from the ground. ”
Lin Su jumped off the UFO shell and suddenly got into the hole dug by the rock armadillo, and after coming in, he found that there was really a hole here.
The pitch-black tunnel twists and turns in all directions, and the flowing air indicates that there is a perfect ventilation function here, which can be said to be a masterpiece of animal nests.
The ant mound built by termites has an excellent air conditioning system, which can not only quickly expel the dirty air in the nest and inhale fresh air, but also regulate the temperature inside the nest to keep the temperature in the nest constant.
In winter, the inside of the nest is warmer than the outside, and in the summer, the temperature is lower than the outside.
Groundhogs have a similar ability by creating a natural air conditioner by piling up dirt outside an outlet of the nest to form a bulge and then using the pressure of air flowing through the surface of a curved object to create a pressure difference between the two holes.
The cave of the rock armadillo should use a similar principle, but now is not the time for science.
According to the smell of the cave ** that had not yet dissipated, Lin Su chased in the direction where the rock armadillo had fled. Each rock armadillo can reach a height of 3 meters, and the burrows they dig are naturally extremely spacious, allowing them to run quickly in them without any obstacles.
Although the rock armadillo was a ground snake, Lin Su could be described as a fierce dragon crossing the river, and he quickly caught up with the escaped rock armadillo. It was biting the carcass of the bighorn with its sharp teeth and running frantically, and even then it was unwilling to abandon its prey.
Fearing that the rock armadillo would escape, Lin Su created a thin layer of ice crystals as soon as he caught up with it, restricting the movement of the rock armadillo.
Condensed an ice needle and inserted it into the body of the rock armadillo, and Lin Su sent the prey that had been spotted to the flying saucer shell.
In the Starry Sky Restaurant in the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Gary, Lin Su handed over Wolfgang's commissioned ingredients to him.
"I just signed the contract in the morning, but I didn't expect you to send me the rock armadillo in the evening, which is really efficient. Wolfgang said happily. The sooner you get the ingredients, the sooner you can start practicing, knowing that Wolfgang isn't as familiar with rock armadillo meat as the White-haired Cinderella.
A huge iron cage was pushed out, and the rock armadillo was sent into the back kitchen by the restaurant staff.
"By the way, you should know how to make some holes on the rock armadillo, right?" Lin Su suddenly asked as he was leaving.
In order not to affect the taste of the ingredients, Lin Su did not dare to use ice to deeply anesthetize the rock armadillo. If Wolfgang didn't know how to anesthetize creatures, the whole restaurant and even the city would have suffered if the rock armadillo woke up.
"Don't worry, I'm okay with this knowledge. Wolfgang said immediately. The restaurant usually has some food hunters who send ingredients that have been pointed, and Wolfgang knows a lot about this.
