Chapter 3 Parasites
I don't know if it was Connors's words that moved the inhabitants of Seaweed, or if it was because he had just been whipped for Scale, or if it was Connors's promise.
All in all, when Connors raised his head again, no one left in the square, he knew that someone must have wanted to escape from the tribe, after all, no matter how poor the tribe was, there were still a few families who had a lot of money to spare, and it was more than enough to buy an inferior person in other tribes, and if the people in the middle of the kelp came in three months, I am afraid that there would be a lot of private soldiers who would directly rob the money.
But when the vast majority of people on the scene have no intention of leaving, they don't dare to leave, which is the so-called herd mentality.
Connors was already satisfied with this result, and the essential reasons had not improved in the slightest, but at least for two months the order of the tribe could continue to be maintained, which was very crucial.
At least half of the fact that he can understand so much is the credit of his predecessor's memory, although his predecessor has only been a chieftain for more than a month, but he is bent on developing the tribe, which is much better than the cheap dad who only knows how to enjoy, but because of his cowardly personality, he has rich theoretical knowledge but no execution, and he has done nothing, and he was stoned to death by the collapsed submarine rock a week ago.
"Uncle Mepott, during this time, it is still up to you to maintain the safety of the tribe, I am afraid that the news of the dissolution of the Seaweed Division has reached the ears of those homeless people, there may be many thieves and robbers who want to fight the attention of the Seaweed Department, you must pay more attention, especially the potion piece, if anyone has the idea of fighting the potion directly killed." ”
Connors's words were very loud, not only to Mepott, but also to warn others not to be tempted, and to use heavy codes in troubled times, Connors still understands this truth.
"Yes, Chieftain"
Mepott swam out and nodded heavily, the previous chief had saved him when he was most desperate, so he never thought of betraying the seaweed minibe, and before Connors saved his daughter and even used his body to block a whip, he also understood what Connors meant, the outcasts should focus on defense, but the residents in the field are not the same.
Glancing at the inhabitants of the field solemnly, as the strongest fisherman in the tribe, he even saved his life in the mouth of the monster, and when he glanced at it, there were a few weak-hearted guys who lowered their heads.
Connors nodded, Uncle Maypot in his memory has always been the captain of the fishing team, and he is absolutely loyal to Connors, and he is also very intimidating.
Disbanded the inhabitants, Connors only took Mepott and swam towards the place where the Magic Seaweed was planted.
The potion is very magical, only by growing on a fixed land can the magic power be gathered, and this kind of land is called fertile soil, the fertile soil of the small part of the seaweed is in the southeast corner of the tribe, there is a range of about a dozen acres of land, such a large area can only be planted more than three hundred plants at its peak, once there are more small potions to absorb the magic power, the quality will plummet.
Looking at the fertile soil is made of sparse Lala magic seaweed plants, Connors was silent, in his memory, when the magic seaweed was not sick, the seedlings alone were so big, but now the adult magic seaweed is only so big, no wonder it will be eliminated from the list of small magic potions.
Swimming into the fertile soil, he looked down at a small potion that now represented not only wealth, but also the future of the small algae department and the key to his own survival.
Suddenly, Connors's eyes flickered, and there seemed to be sparse green points of light flowing through the potion, but as his mind shook, these green spots of light disappeared again.
Connors shook his head and regained his steady, and sure enough, he saw these green points of light inside the magic seaweed, not only the potion seaweed, but also this kind of green light point in the fertile soil under him, and even the entire sea water was covered with this kind of light point, but the concentration was different, for example, it was 0.5 in the potion, and 0.1 in the fertile soil, and 0.01 in the seawater, in addition to these differences, there were also different colors, all the magic seaweed were green light spots, 90% of the fertile soil were green light spots, and 10% were gray, purple, etc., as for the sea water of this fertile land, it was 50% green, and the rest were variegated.
"Uncle Maypott, can you see these little dots of light?"
Connors asked, looking up with a hint of anticipation.
really
"What point of light?"
Mabel was a little puzzled, he didn't know what the light was
"Oh, nothing"
Connors tried his best to hold back the excitement of the imminent jump, and Goldfinger came!
Just now, due to the violent fluctuations in his mood, these points of light in front of him disappeared again, and his spirit was stabilized again, and countless points of light filled the entire 'horizon'.
"If I'm not mistaken, these are the so-called magic, magic is an existence that only magicians can feel, I don't have the talent to become a magician, but I can 'see' magic so clearly now!"
Maybe you can 'see' the cause of the potions' illness with these eyes!
Staring at the magic cycle in the potion, those green light spots are like blood flowing in the potion, and the roots rooted in the fertile soil are constantly absorbing the green light points, according to the reason that the magic potion has been circulating and has not flowed out, and the roots are constantly absorbing, the total amount should be increasing, but the total amount of magic power in the 'horizon' is not the slightest increase but has a tendency to decrease.
"No, there is a problem with these points"
He noticed that there were several places on the magic seaweed, and whenever the magic power flowed to this place, it would be inexplicably less, although the amount was not much, but the magic power would decrease once every cycle, and the amount accumulated in a day was not small.
"If the reason for the potion illness is because of these points, then the magic power in the body with poor absorption ability will slowly be consumed and die, and the magic power in the body of the potion with good absorption ability will always not rise, so it has always been sick and of low quality. ”
The guess is exactly the same as the result, just like the hypothesis method when doing a math proof, first assume a cause, and when the result of the cause is consistent with the facts, then the hypothesis is valid.
Problem found!
Sure enough, the gold finger is powerful.
Connors stretched out his hand and touched a magic vanishing point, but when his hand had not yet touched it, the magic cycle in this place in the 'horizon' became normal again, as if everything he had just seen was an illusion, and he tried to touch another magic vanishing point, which also became normal when he had not yet touched it, and vaguely Connors seemed to feel something hit his fingertips.
But when he retracted his hand again, these 'dots' that could make the magic disappear inexplicably returned to the demon seaweed's body, but it was a little different from the original position.
Just like a mosquito, it secretly sucks human blood, and when a person goes to shoot it, it will be scared away, but soon it will come back and continue to find other places to bezz.
"Mosquitoes, yes, if there is a creature that can absorb magic, it is like a parasite, but this parasite is very small, or it is not visible at all, but it does exist, it steals the magic power of the potion!"
There is only one thing in memory that can devour magic and make it disappear - monsters, and the people of Hatamu have many ways to deal with monsters!
The problem has been found, and the solution has been solved!
Connors jumped up from the fertile ground with excitement
"Uncle Maypott, I need ......"
"Hum" a brief tinnitus, Connors felt the whole world spinning, consciousness began to blur, shaky, before he fell unconscious, he heard a very anxious and panicked voice:
"Chief!"
......
Connors has been in a coma for three days, and the situation of the seaweed subdivision is very bad, and now Connors is the core of the entire subdivision, relying on him to screw the tribe that is about to collapse together, but now that he is unconscious, and he has not woken up for five consecutive days, everyone is panicking.
"Captain, that guy ran away. ”
A young merfolk swam into the building in the center of the tribe, shouting panicked at Mabel.
Connors's cheap dad took his wife to cut off all his previous relatives when he was building the Seaweed Unit, and Connors's mother died a few years ago, so Maypot temporarily acted as the chief, and even lived on the first floor of the chief's stone house, while the comatose Connors was arranged on the second floor.
Now Mepott not only has to manage the fishing team to protect the tribe from the sudden increase in the number of displaced people, but also to calm people's hearts and manage things big and small, and he has not closed his eyes since Connors fell unconscious.
But no matter how hard he tries, he still ran away from more than 20 households in the past few days, and this number is still increasing, and now it has spread to the body of the fishing team, Jiu'an is a member of the fishing team, once there is a problem with the fishing team, there is no defensive power, the homeless people will unceremoniously rush in and grab everything, the day before yesterday, some team members found that there were two guys who took advantage of the lack of manpower to sneak into the fertile land to steal the potion, and were caught, Mepott did not hesitate to directly cut off the heads of the two guys and hang the corpses at the door of the tribe, and those homeless people have settled down a lot in the past two days。
But Mepot knew that this situation would not last long, and the news of the chieftain's coma had already spread to the outcasts, and even more people said that the chief was hopeless and was going to die!
"Run, run, run, now your task is to be optimistic about the fertile soil, now no matter who it is, no matter what the reason, including the residents of the territory, as long as they dare to step into the fertile soil for half a step, kill it directly, and hang it at the door of the tribe."
He knew very well that the potion in the fertile soil was everyone's goal and the only chance to turn over, and for some reason he had a sense of trust in Connors.
Connors used to be smart and polite, but he didn't feel this way, when did this change?
"By the way, there is enough food in the tribe, right?"
Mabel rubbed his eyebrows, his eyes bloodshot.
"There are still a few more, but they won't last long. ”
"That's good, you've worked hard for this time, if it's ......"
Mabel was about to say something about a reward, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't think of anything that the current tribe could come up with.
"Father, father"
The door of the entrance to the second floor slammed open, and Xiao Yanna, who was still injured, rushed out, gulping seawater and closing the cheeks behind her ears even faster, and she was very excited now
"Brother Chief is awake!"
