021 Sand Kun
Sand carp is a desert-dwelling fish that has the same shape as fish in the ocean, but lives in a desert with no water at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoJust as desert dwellers have superpowers, most of the sand carp can walk through the sand like fish swimming in the sea.
No one knows what the food of the sand carp is in the desert, people only know that the sand carp is edible, and the meat is delicious and abundant. It was an important source of food for desert dwellers to develop their cities.
The tengu of Mt. Senba regularly bring in food and receive offerings, some minerals from the desert. The amount of food given by these gods was far from enough for all the desert people, not even in the early days when the desert people came to the Karada Desert, let alone the many cities that have now been created.
God-given food has been preserved as a high-class luxury, and is only occasionally eaten by the highest classes of the city.
Thanks to the rain they prayed for, the desert folks were able to grow edible greenery in their cities. The supply of this high-grade ingredient is limited, and ordinary civilians need to spend a lot of money to eat these greens and stay healthy. And the people of the upper class can eat these greens for free, which is also a means of recovering money.
Therefore, the daily food of ordinary people is sand carp plus occasional green plants.
"Hmm...... In this way, the ratio of meat to vegetables seems to be the opposite of Gensokyo. Happily recording it in a small notebook, the text looked very happy.
Tightly grasping the railing on the deck, Tsubaki looked at the sand whales wrestling with the sand boats with some horror.
Unlike the docile personality of the sand carp, the sand whale will not only violently resist when captured by the desert people, but will also actively attack the desert people's sand boats. Now the sand whale in front of the sand boat was shot by the fishing spear on the sand boat, twisting its injured body and burrowing into the lower layer of the desert, trying to get rid of the iron spear on its body.
The sand whale was so powerful that it dragged the sand boat moored in the desert to shake violently, and many people on the deck of the sand boat were thrown out of the sand boat. The desert people who were thrown out did not lie on the desert, and used their abilities to pick up the sand and help the sand boat pull the sand whales out of the sand.
Old man Ai and Wen were suspended in the air, unaffected by the hull of the sand boat, still talking about things in the desert.
On the other side of the desert, a small sand boat with only two people is sailing at high speed.
"Ali, press the hull down. Walking to the edge of the deck, Little Red crouched down and looked at the sand outside the boat.
"OK!" Hearing Xiaohong's words, the blue light in Ali's eyes became even worse.
The force pressed the hull down, discharging more sand and letting the hull sink into the sand. Soon, the sand was approaching the edge of the sand boat.
Seeing that the hull of the ship had almost descended, Xiaohong reached out and inserted it into the sand, and strange ripples spread from the place where Xiaohong inserted it into the sand to the depths of the desert.
Pulling her hand out of the sand, Red gestured to Ali with her eyes. Ali then withdrew his telekinesis, lifted the ship, and returned to its normal state.
After a while of driving, a large dorsal fin appeared on the right side of the small sand boat, and the dorsal fin was composed of several bone spurs, which were connected by a white substance. The dorsal fin appears for a while, then immediately dives and disappears.
After seeing the dorsal fin appear, Xiaohong laughed happily, and the speed of the sand boat gradually slowed down.
When the sand boat came to a standstill, a giant beast's mouth appeared from under the sand boat, and its sharp teeth surrounded the sand boat. Something raised the sand boat in the air, as if it was about to swallow it whole.
Boom!
The fangs closed tightly, and the beast that had swallowed the sand boat burrowed forward into the desert and vanished.
This is the sand carp, the most apex creature in the desert, and even the sand whale looks small in front of it. Normally, the sand carp is already a legendary creature, and among the desert people, there is only the legend of the sand kun, but there are no real sightings of the sand carp.
This sand carp is still very young, and its size is still not enough compared to its giant counterpart, but it is already the size of an average sand whale. It was raised by Old Man Ai since he was a child, and was close to Old Man Ai, Xiao Hong, and Ali, and lived in the depths of the desert outside the city most of the time, and only after hearing Xiao Hong's special call, it would float up to the desert.
Of course, more often than not, it is used as a hunting tool by Xiaohong.
As a multi-ability person, Xiaohong's abilities are not only barriers and ripples, but she can also emit light and illuminate the darkness.
In the mouth of the sand kun, Xiaohong lit up the surroundings and saw several other damaged sand boats. It was the most recently reported attack on the sand boat, most of its occupants were dead, and only a few were able to escape back into Regis. Because of its size, it was mistaken for an aggressive sand whale and did not attract the attention of Regis's higher-ups.
Jumping off the sand boat, Ali walked on the sand surface, using the sand carp in the sand under his feet to pull out of the sand one by one and throw it onto his sand boat. If these sand carp are placed in the desert, they can also swim deeper into the desert, where they have nowhere to escape.
"Now, Ali, wouldn't it be good for us to use Xiao Kun as a fishing tool like this?"
"What's the matter? Anyway, Xiao Kun is very happy, and it's not much easier. Ali said indifferently, he was the appointed heir, and he could inherit everything from Old Man Ai, including this sand kun.
It's just that Old Man Ai didn't say anything about it, and all of this is just Ali's speculation.
Pointing to a few abandoned sand boats in the distance, Xiaohong said worriedly, "But Daddy shouldn't want us to see those things, right? If he knew we were doing this......
"If you don't say it, if I don't say it, who will know?"
"Xiao Kun knows. ”
"Haha, can Daddy still understand Xiao Kun's words? ”
In the face of Ali's self-confidence, Xiaohong is still very worried, if one day a person who can hear animal language comes out, won't what they are doing now be exposed.
After picking out the sand carp from the sand and filling the sand boat with enough of them, Ali steered the sand boat to prepare to leave. Little Red gives an order to the sand kun, which is deep in the desert and floats to the sand.
When it approached the sand, it opened its mouth, and the sand boat burst out of the sand with strong momentum, like a floating submarine.
The sand carp have been caught in sufficient quantities, and Ali and Xiaohong can already return home.
So, after exchanging feelings with Sha Kun and playing for a while, the two drove the sand boat back and returned to Regis. On the way back, the two of them came across some sand boats that were also on the same way back, and these sand boats were also piled with captured sand carp, but their hulls were larger and did not look as many as those on the two sand boats.
This time point was calculated, and in order not to make their sand boat so unique, Ali and Xiaohong deliberately controlled the return time and the number of sand carp.
On the other side, the battle to capture the sand whale has ended, and humanity has won the final victory.
The huge sand whales could not be placed on the sand boats, and the carcasses of the sand whales were grabbed by hooks and dragged behind the sand boats. In order to tow it back to Regis, more than sixty people on the sand boat joined in pushing it to the sand boat.
On the way back to Regis, Wen saw that the other sand boats were full of piles of sand carp, and only one sand boat was the same as theirs, dragging a sand whale. The sand boat has a prosperous shape, and the hull is also printed with the badge of Shouya, which is a sand boat belonging to the city shrine.
Squinting at the sand boat, Wen saw a young girl on the bow of the sand boat, wearing a blue and white witch costume, or Fengzhu's clothes, which were exactly the same as Sanae's clothes.
"That should be the city's Lord Fengzhu?"
"Yes, Lord Wen. ”
