Chapter 51: Xiaobai (I)
Su Ye went deep into the desert to catch the golden worm this time, and the investment was not small, the trap alone cost more than 30,000 star yuan, plus the energy cost of the flying car, the purchase fee of the golden worm's placement instrument, all the expenses added up, and nearly 50,000 star yuan had been invested.
Ma Zhouyi persuaded Su Ye several times, but seeing that his boss was resolutely investing so much, he could only follow Su Ye to the depths of the desert and do his best, thinking of helping the boss lose as little as possible and catch a few more golden worms.
Therefore, when arranging the trap, Ma Zhouyi tried his best to find a suitable location based on his little experience in previous years.
However, he is not a professional insect catcher after all, and his experience is really limited, so he is often hesitant about the location of the arrangement.
Su Yecai saw it clearly, and saw that Ma Zhouyi chose and chose the position, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Just choose the position you decided for the first time, don't hesitate, your boss and I have always had good luck, I have a hunch, we will have a big harvest this time!" ”
Install the catcher, also known as the lower sleeve. Therefore, among the local population, the trap that catches the golden worm actually has another name, called "cage".
Seeing Su Ye say this, Ma Zhouyi was so optimistic, and sighed secretly, thinking to himself, how can the golden worm be so easy to catch, if it is so easy to catch, just a few sets can have a big harvest, then the people around the desert don't all go to the depths of the desert to catch insects.
However, he didn't want to dampen his boss's optimism, so he only thought about it in his heart and didn't say it.
Next, Ma Zhouyi didn't hesitate.
As long as you choose a good place, the installation of this kind of trap is not difficult, that is, put the trap on the sand, press down, let the sand layer bury most of the trap, and then press the switch above, the trap will automatically disassemble in the sand layer.
A hundred traps, which seems like a lot, are actually just enough to be arranged around this small oasis.
Professional insect catchers will generally arrange insect catchers around the oasis of their choice, and then stay in the oasis for one night, the next morning to see the harvest, if the harvest can satisfy themselves, they will continue to set in this oasis, if the harvest is too little, they will leave, choose another place, professional insect catcher is a profession one oasis by one oasis around the desert, of course, sometimes the next set does not necessarily have to have an oasis, as long as it is a suitable place, the insect catcher will generally stay for one night, under the set to try luck.
This is actually similar to the fishermen who fish at sea, and it is a profession that relies on experience and guards luck.
After a short break in the tent, it took about two hours for the two of them to place all a hundred traps around this little oasis.
It was noon when I finished my work.
"You drive T7 back, I'll spend the night here today, remember to get some food for Xiao Hei when I go back, and you will come back tomorrow morning." Su Ye instructed Ma Zhouyi to go back to Desert Town, there were still six hundred cows and Xiao Hei to manage in the pasture, and someone had to go back.
"Didn't you say we'd go back together in the evening and come back tomorrow morning?" Ma Zhouyi asked in surprise.
Originally, it was arranged like this, but now Su Ye had the idea of capturing a goshawk as a pet in his heart, so he wanted to give it a try and see if he could take this opportunity to catch the goshawk all the time, if Ma Zhouyi was there, some means would be inconvenient to use.
"I think we will definitely be able to harvest a lot of gold worms this time, so I decided to guard here, now is the insect hunting period, in case other insect catchers come, find our insect catcher, then the loss is big, besides, the desert scenery is too beautiful, I plan to stay one night to experience the night of the desert, rest assured, the mechanical tent is very windproof and sandproof, besides, there is an F19 Prince, even if there is a sandstorm, I can run away in time, the speed and performance of the Prince's speed is not covered."
Seeing Su Ye say this, Ma Zhouyi didn't say anything, just told Su Ye to pay attention to safety and be wary of poisonous insects such as scorpions in Desert Town, and then drove T7 away and returned to Desert Town.
After Ma Zhouyi left, Liu Hai drove Wang Jue to the front of the mechanical tent, in case he really encountered danger such as a sandstorm, he could drive the flying car to escape in time.
Although he is now an immortal cultivator, after all, he only has the strength of the first order of foundation building, and he can't resist the natural power of sandstorm for the time being.
Su Ye came up with a very simple way to catch the Wulilai goshawk, he knew that the Wulilai goshawk's favorite food was the golden worm, followed by the meat of animals in the desert like gerbils, lizards, snakes, etc., and he planned to use the spirit gathering array and meat to trap the Wulilai goshawk.
There was still a lot of spiritual liquid left in the purple tower, and the prince also brought a lot of beef with him, and there was also a portable barbecue machine, which he originally planned to roast for lunch.
Su Ye arranged a miniature spirit gathering array on a flat ground not far from the tent, found some wooden sticks in the oasis and inserted them in the sand, and then took out the beef in the flying car, cut them into one by one, and hung them on the wooden sticks, which immediately made the spirit gathering array a "beef forest".
Su Ye didn't immediately take out the spiritual liquid and sprinkle it on the beef, but returned to the tent to rest, in order to prevent the spiritual liquid from dissipating too quickly, he had to wait for the spiritual energy in the spiritual gathering array to gather to a certain concentration, and then take out the spiritual liquid and smear it on the beef.
The beef attracts the goshawk to eat, and the spiritual fluid on the meat is to keep the beef goshawk after eating it.
Su Ye believed that as long as he had eaten beef containing spiritual liquid, ordinary animals would be reluctant to leave.
The ichor has a fatal attraction to animal instincts, as evidenced by Blackie's last time and the last time he helped Paul Jr. catch sand frogs.
Even if the watch brain is deep in the desert, fortunately, it is also very good, the network coverage of this era is really not blown, it is too developed, Su Ye returned to the tent, lay on the air cushion, and began to browse all kinds of news with the watch brain brain, after about half an hour, Su Ye planned to go outside to see the concentration of spiritual energy in the spirit gathering array, and as soon as he walked out of the tent, he was stunned.
I saw a little guy with a snow-white body standing in the Spirit Gathering Array, leisurely eating beef hanging on a wooden stick.
When he looked closely, it was a snow-white bird all the time, and Su Ye couldn't recognize it for a while, it looked a bit like an eagle, but he wasn't sure if this little guy was a goshawk.
Its feathers are very delicate, shining in the sun, and it is not big, from head to tail, but sixty or seventy centimeters long, these are not quite similar to the Wulilai goshawks that Su Ye knows.
What's even more different is that usually the goshawk is very alert and fierce, and when it sees humans, it either attacks fiercely, or it has already escaped far away with its extremely fast flight speed, but this one, when Su Ye walked out of the tent, the two dark eyes actually looked at it curiously, and did not run, looked at Su Ye for a while, and as if nothing happened, he turned his head and continued to eat its beef leisurely, no longer paying attention to Su Ye's storage.
What's going on?
For a moment, Su Ye had a feeling of being ignored by a child.
