Chapter 50: The Soul of the Great Desert
It has gone deep into the Wulilai Desert, although it has not yet reached the center of the deepest part of the desert, but it is more than 100 kilometers away from the edge of the desert, it is already very deep, and the surrounding areas are full of yellow sand, and the hills piled up with fine sand are slightly emitted under the illumination of the sun, slightly emitting this subtle golden light, as if they are all golden sand, which is very beautiful.
Beauty is beautiful, but the environment is too bad, the attitude of the sun above his head, the air around him is too dry, bangs get off the flying car for a while, and fine sweat oozes from his back, this is still his cultivation at the peak of the first order of foundation building, and then look at Ma Zhouyi, there are beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead.
"It's not quite there yet." Ma Zhouyi said: "I have been to this place before, there should be an oasis not far from here, but I have to come down and take a closer look, confirm how to get there, I used to go to the desert with the original boss to catch the goshawk in the desert, I have been to this area, but I am not very familiar, so I have to confirm it carefully." ”
"Buying?"
Su Ye was stunned for a moment and asked, "Isn't the Wulilai Goshawk called the Soul of the Great Desert, how can it still be captured?" ”
Ma Zhouyi said with a smile: "Although the people around the desert regard the Wulilai goshawk as the treasure of the desert, but the government does not prohibit humans from catching this kind of goshawk, there are many Wulilai goshawks, and they are not protected animals, so they are not protected by law, people can falcon at any time, and the desert also has an ancient tradition, people who can catch the Wulilai goshawk are regarded as warriors of the desert, but the desert goshawk is too difficult to catch, they are alert, fast, and particularly fierce, and they are violent, even if they are caught by humans, They will also go on a hunger strike to death, and very few people can raise a live adult goshawk, unless it is the kind that has been raised from a young age with goshawk eggs. ”
"I see." Su Ye nodded, and then asked curiously, "Then did you catch the Wulilai goshawk in the desert last time?" ”
Ma Zhouyi shook his head and said: "No, many rich people in Luzhuo City want a fierce Wuli goshawk as a pet, but unfortunately, it is too difficult to get a live wild Wuli goshawk, so the Wuli goshawk pets on the market are basically artificially hatched, trained since childhood, not much wildness, and also erased the ferociousness." ”
"Is the wild Wulilai goshawk really so fierce that when he is caught, he goes on a hunger strike and starves to death?"
Ma Zhouyi said affirmatively: "Yes, I didn't believe it at first, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I have to sigh, last time the boss spent a lot of money in order to catch the Wuli goshawk, using artificially bred golden insects as bait, boss, you may not know, the golden insect is the favorite of the Wuli goshawk, that time we actually caught a Wuli goshawk with a wingspan of two meters eight, but after catching, this goshawk didn't eat any food, even if it was a golden worm, and finally starved to death, The angry rich man picked up his hair and made it into a meat dish and ate it...... In fact, the reason why the people of the desert regard this kind of goshawk as the representative of the great desert and the soul is because of their ...... temperament."
The more he listened to what Ma Zhouyi said, the more excited Su Ye became.
He had already seen this goshawk, it was large and mighty, and now he knew that it had a fierce personality and was difficult to tame...... It would be nice to be able to catch one as a pet.
Originally, he went into the desert to catch golden insects, but now Su Ye suddenly has one more goal, in addition to catching golden insects, can he catch the goshawk that has been standing all the way back as a pet?
"If you come across one, grab one."
Just when Su Ye was thinking wildly, Ma Zhouyi had already identified the direction by comparing the map on his watch.
"Boss, if you go a little further northeast, you should be able to see the oasis I've been to before."
Sure enough, after driving about seven or eight hundred meters to the northeast, a small oasis appeared in front of the two of them.
The two got off the flying car again, Su Ye carefully looked at the oasis not far away, the oasis was not big, there were some sparse low vegetation growing on it, and there were many places in the middle that exposed yellow sand and soil intervals, dividing the original 900 square meters of oasis into more than a dozen pieces.
"This is the oasis we have been in before, it can be used as our base camp in this area, and there is an oasis here, which means that the moisture of the sandy land near here is higher than that of ordinary places, and it is an ideal living place for golden insects, and there should be a lot of golden insects under the sandy ground around." Ma Zhouyi said.
Su Ye looked around, nodded, and said, "Then let's set up a base camp here, and then take the trap to set it up around." ”
It is said to be a base camp, but in fact, it is to take down the mechanical tent on the house speed car and set up a rest point.
The mechanical tent was bought together with the trap, when it was not opened, it was like a big box, as soon as the switch was pressed, it automatically spread out inside, forming a conical tent with four corners deep in the ground, Su Ye bought a large one, and spent thousands of star yuan to form a conical tent, like a small yurt seen in the previous life, the space is very large, and the tent he bought is a tent suitable for the desert environment, with excellent windproof and sandproof functions, and even the surface of the tent is a solar collection version, which can be used for electric lighting in the tent.
The mechanical tent was set up, Su Ye left the F19 prince in the camp, and then drove a T7 with a hundred traps with Ma Zhouyi to arrange traps around the oasis.
Su Ye bought a professional sandworm trap commonly used by insect catchers, which is not only used by insect catchers to catch golden insects, but also used to make other kinds of sandworms in many places. The initial state of this trap is a lantern-sized sphere, and when the switch is pressed against the ground, half of the sphere will be deep into a dense row of scattering tubes, which can go deep into the ground, and the liquid bait will flow along these tubes to the ground, inducing the sandworms to actively climb along the tubes to the cage on the surface, as long as they climb in, they will never get out.
At the same time, in order to prevent the trap from being buried in the wind and sand, there is a subtle sensor hidden inside the trap, which can be accurately found by using a special sensor device.
The price of this kind of trap is not cheap, each one costs several hundred star yuan, Su Ye bought a hundred in one go, plus two professional induction devices, one cost more than 30,000 star yuan.
A hundred seems like a lot, but in fact, if you are an ordinary insect catcher, with a hundred traps, you may not be able to catch ten adult golden worms a day, the desert is too big, the efficiency of the trap is only so high, if you want to catch more sandworms, you can only increase investment and put more traps.
