Chapter 246: Temporary Earplugs
Fortunately for Wenlong, there was no rocky terrain in this Kumber wetland, which made the search a little easier for Wenlong and his party. After all, if the rock dragon is mixed with a large number of rocks, it will be more difficult to distinguish them.
In this way, Wenlong and his entourage slowly searched little by little in the Kumber Wetland, during which they saw stones suspected to be rock dragons several times, but when they got closer, they found that they were not rock dragons, but just ordinary rock piles.
"Mr. Cat, why haven't you found the rock dragon until now?" Towards noon, Catherine was a little impatient.
"Be patient, you can't do great things if you don't have patience," Wenlong said, "What's more, this Kumber wetland is so big, how far have we come?" Meow? ”
"Hmm......" Although Catherine didn't say more, Wen Long could still see that Catherine was a little absent-minded.
"Alas...... I knew that, meow. Wen Long sighed, and then said, "Now, take it and eat it, meow." ”
Wen Long took a piece of jerky out of his pocket and threw it to Catherine.
"Huh? How does Mr. Cat know what I'm going to say? ”
"Cut, what are you thinking about, can't Uncle Ben still guess it, isn't it almost noon, so you want to eat? Meow? ”
"Hey...... Catherine smiled sheepishly, then shoved the jerky into her mouth.
These jerky are specially cut into pieces of barbecued meat by Wenlong and then marinated in honey, which also has a unique taste. Compared with the food carried in the hunter camp, the taste is naturally more than a grade.
"Mr. Cat, is that the one?" At this time, the begonia on the side suddenly said.
Wen Long turned his head to look in the direction that Begonia was pointing, and saw a gray rock standing abruptly in a piece of soft and damp soil.
"Hmm...... That's right, meow! ”
Wen Long judged.
After all, in the middle of this soft earth. The sudden appearance of such an abrupt rock does seem a little unnatural, and the shape of this rock is very similar to the shape of the rock dragon's back described by Wen Long before, so the possibility that Wen Long judged that it was a rock dragon this time can be said to be nine times out of ten.
After getting Wenlong's affirmation that it should be a rock dragon, Catherine and Begonia both put on a posture of waiting, and Begonia had even put the arrow on the bowstring.
"Wait a minute. Little girl, meow. Wenlong stopped Begonia's behavior.
"What's wrong, Mr. Cat? Is Begonia doing something wrong? Begonia asked a little strangely.
"No, you didn't do anything wrong, it's just that we still have things to do before that......" Wenlong said.
With the precedent of losing hearing due to the "dragon roar" of the electric dragon when hunting the electric dragon before, Wenlong naturally had to be much more cautious this time.
"Before you act, put this on. Try it out, meow. As he spoke, Wen Long took out a few small things from his pocket, only half the size of a fingernail, which looked a bit like cork.
"What is this?" Catherine and Begonia asked almost at the same time.
"These are earplugs, although they can't completely eliminate the effect of the dragon's roar, at least when you can't cover your ears because of an emergency, you won't be shocked by the dragon's roar to break your eardrums, meow."
"I see......"
So Catherine and Begonia each took a pair. Then try to put it on yourself.
The so-called earplugs are actually plugs made of Wenlong's elastic rubber skin of the poisonous monster bird. And the processing process is just a temporary cut by Wenlong with his own double knives.
Because the skin of the poison bird is very elastic. Therefore, the same is true for the earbuds made, which will adapt to the size of the ear hole of different people, and at the same time block the user's ear canal as much as possible.
"Note that if you want to insert the earbuds into the ear holes, first pinch the earbuds slightly with your hand, so that the earbuds will be slightly smaller due to their elasticity. It's also more convenient when you stuff it in, meow. When using the earbuds, Wenlong explained to Catherine and Begonia, "Then wait for the plug in, and then release the hand." In this way, the earbuds will be slightly inflated in the ear hole, which can block the ear hole, meow! ”
"yes, I understand!"
According to Wenlong's demonstration, Catherine and Begonia both successfully tucked earplugs into their ear holes.
And after plugging the earbuds in, all three of them can clearly feel that the earbuds have begun to work, because even listening to each other at close range has become a little difficult.
But even so, Wenlong still didn't think the effect was good enough.
"Don't worry, everyone, there's this...... If you add this, it's even better, meow! ”
"Mr. Cat, what did you say? I can't hear ......," Catherine asked aloud.
Wen Long didn't bother to explain Catherine and Begonia's question, but took out another bottle from his pocket, then opened the lid, dug out a golden sticky object in it with his hands and paws, and then pasted the sticky object on his ear holes.
The viscous liquid that Wenlong took out was actually honey, and the earbuds had already blocked the ears, but Wenlong felt that it was still a little insufficient, so he filled the gap between the earbuds and the ear holes with honey, so that the sealing of the earbuds was further improved.
After Wen Long finished doing this, he handed the bottle to Catherine again, and then motioned for Catherine and Begonia to do the same.
Although there was no verbal exchange, Catherine and Begonia immediately understood what Wenlong meant, so they did what Wenlong did.
"It's just a temporary solution, and when you're done hunting the dragons, you'll have to take them out and clean your ears...... Meow. It doesn't matter if Catherine and Begonia can hear it, Wenlong explained.
Soon, Wen Long and his entourage had already completed the preparations to deal with the "Dragon Roar", but just as Wen Long was about to make a move on Yan Long, he found that something strange appeared beside Yan Long.
Wen Long saw a man with a red airplane head, loose bloomers, and a mining shovel on his back, swaggering towards the abrupt rock in the mud.
"Who is this? Don't look like a hunter, how did you get to this Cumber wetland? Meow? ”
At first, Wen Long thought so in his heart, but soon, Wen Long found a memory of this person in his mind.
Wen Long remembered that he had seen this person when he was building equipment in Master Luo's forge house before. I remember that it should be Master Luo's apprentice, and he is also a forger of hunter equipment. It's just that Wenlong has always only handed over the equipment to the most powerful forgers to build, so he hasn't paid much attention to this apprentice by Master Luo's side.
