172. Giant earthworms
Since Jiang Yiming exchanged the hundred-year-old ginseng for the ancient exercises, he began to grow the hundred-year-old ginseng again. It's just that now the mature ginseng is not sold to the outside world, but quietly collected. Anyway, it won't depreciate, and it doesn't matter if it's changed to money later.
It was under the ginseng that had not yet reached 100 years old that there was an animal lurking in the soil with a vitality comparable to that of a small yellow. You must know that Xiao Huang is not an ordinary domestic cat, but has been transformed by Jiang Yiming with the power of nature and turned into a giant cat the size of a lion.
Jiang Yiming thought for a while and took out a shovel from the warehouse. This is what he bought when he first planted ginseng, and it is only now that he uses it for the first time. He condensed a little force of nature on his left index finger, and his right hand held the shovel tightly, ready to strike at any moment.
If it was an ordinary animal, mixed with a wide variety of animals and plants, he might not be able to spot it so quickly. But its vigorous vitality is really much more than the surrounding animals, and it is as striking as a firefly in the night, and it is difficult not to be detected.
Jiang Yiming's induction seemed to ignore the soil layer, although he couldn't see it with the naked eye, he intuitively knew that the creature underground must have smelled it, and he was a little nervous. However, the creature underground seemed to be cautious, and did not rush out at the first time.
The cunning fox still can't hide from the hunter's patience, and as a sane druid, his patience is obviously also very sufficient, and he doesn't care about waiting a little longer.
After a minute or so, the creature in the ground seemed to be safe and carefully burrowed out of the soil, revealing a section of its body. Round. Rolling and headless, brainless, bloated and fat body, it is clearly a common earthworm. Not to mention that it doesn't lie dormant in the winter, its size alone is stunning, it's the size of a football!
"I'm rubbing, is this still an earthworm? It's a fighter among earthworms! ”
Jiang Yiming's heart was also frightened suddenly, this was an inevitable reaction when he saw a giant animal. At this time, his reaction was inevitably a little sluggish, and he didn't even notice that the head of the giant earthworm was close to his index finger, until the force of nature on his finger disappeared.
You can't be so careless in the future! He secretly examined in his heart. If this earthworm is an aggressive animal, I'm afraid his index finger is gone.
He soon discovered the value of the giant earthworm and decided that he had to tame it, as he had seen the football-sized hole in the ground. If it is used well, it is completely a green and pollution-free underground excavator, and it is not a problem to dig a wide space underground.
After Jiang Yiming used the appeasement animal to communicate with the earthworm, he quickly gained its trust. The conditions for subduing it are also very simple, as long as a little power of nature is supplied from time to time.
According to his guess, this giant earthworm had eaten the soil next to the ginseng and had undergone a mutation to grow so big. In addition to this reason, he couldn't think of any other more reliable reason, otherwise why did it stop below the hundred-year-old ginseng?
"Jiang Yiming, aren't you afraid of the cold when you stay outside for so long?"
Xie Wan'er saw Jiang Yiming's figure moving around in the courtyard in the hall, but she didn't enter the house, and curiously walked over and saw the red and fat earthworm, and let out a sharp shout: "What the hell is this, is there a standard football-sized earthworm in the world?" Get it away, what if it bites someone? ”
Seeing that Jiang Yiming didn't act, she began to urge again: "Hurry up, do you want me to go back and find a hoe or something, and then you will directly kill this monster?" ”
"Shhhhh This is the fat head I just tamed, do you think the name is very vivid? ”
Jiang Yiming saw that the giant earthworm had a tendency to retract into the hole, and hurriedly reassured it not to be afraid, so that it could continue to stay on the ground. At the same time, he also asked Xie Wan'er to stop screaming in horror, to be honest, even his ears couldn't bear it.
"Although the light of the street lamp is not very bright now, I feel that this fat head is too big to apply for the Guinness Book of World Records!"
After watching it for a while, she didn't find that the fat head was attacking, and Xie Wan'er was not as scared as she was when she first saw it. Although I still don't dare to touch the fat head soft. Soft body, but can also maintain a close distance of more than 20 centimeters.
"Forget it, don't bother too much, it's best to make a fortune in a muffled voice. If there is a lot of uproar, it will not be good for the National Institute of Biology to take the fat head to do experiments, it is not good to agree, and it is not good to refuse. ”
Jiang Yiming shook his head and said. He doesn't want to make any Guinness records, you have to know that he has a lot of secrets, if they are all exposed, then it won't shock the eyes of a group of people? For the fat head, he already has a plan, which is to use it to dig the basement.
Thinking of this, he let the fat man's entire body come out, so as to measure the length and size of his body.
The fat head is very obedient, and the fat body keeps squirming, trying to make all the body crawl out of the hole. This action lasted for more than twenty seconds, and the length of its exposed body continued to lengthen. At that moment, it felt like endless to Jiang Yiming.
"Wow, this earthworm is not only the size of a football, but it's also more than two stories long!" Xie Wan'er took a cursory look and exclaimed.
After Jiang Yiming measured with a tape measure, he finally came up with a definite result. The fat head is seven meters long and twenty-five centimeters in diameter. However, he is still not satisfied with this data. I felt the need to strengthen the fat head so that its body diameter reached half a meter, so that it would be enough.
The time has come to November, and the temperature at night in Baisha City is not very high, only thirteen or fourteen degrees. Despite its huge size, the fat head is still an earthworm in nature and is not very adapted to low temperatures. After being exposed for a while, it was already showing some malaise, and it crawled back into the hole of its own accord.
"What's the matter, it's mysterious, just forget it!" When Xie Wan'er left, her expression was a little indignant, and she seemed to be thinking about what aspect to make Jiang Yiming a little trouble.
After letting Xie Wan'er return to the room first, Jiang Yiming called the fat head out again. This time, of course, it didn't let its entire body come out, as long as it was thirty or forty centimeters long.
He condensed a little force of nature on his fingers, and he was very cautious and had very little weight, almost the same weight as when he transformed Xiao Huang in the first place. I am worried that if I give too much, the fat head will explode and die like those experimental crickets.
That's more troublesome, and you need to start all over again. You must know that the common earthworm is only the thickness of chopsticks, and it is not something that can be done in a few days to strengthen it to be as thick as a football.
Jiang Yiming tried little by little, and finally increased the diameter of the fat head by about half, and his body became thicker again, making it look more round. Roll on.
"In the past few days, I have to learn about underground construction, otherwise if I encounter a landslide after entering the underground, I won't be able to get out."
He mentally thought about his plans for the last few days and walked back into the house.
"Done? Why don't you spend a little more time outside? I've always felt like you're hiding some secrets, but one day I'll give you back. Xie Wan'er's big eyes widened, indicating that the master was very angry, and it was best not to ignite the anger in her heart.
"Haha, the weather is nice tonight, the cool breeze blows, and I am very excited. Hurry up and prepare, it's almost time to enter the dream realm. Jiang Yiming would answer Xie Wan'er's challenge, and hurriedly changed the topic.
