Chapter 181: Feathered Insects
anesthesia, probably only anesthesia can not only protect the snake god, but also ensure that Wang Xijia and others can travel freely in Niagara.
Just turn the snake god over and put it in a certain place and close it. Just wait until you're done touring before you release it. It's a good plan.
Wang Xijia thought of Nikolai, after all, he had studied all of Dracula's experimental plans at that time. There should be some understanding of Dracula's medicine.
"Can you make Dracula's anesthetic? can anesthetize a big animal. Wang Xika asked Nikolai.
"I can do it, but I'm not sure if this medicine can turn the snake god hemp. Nikolai said honestly.
This is indeed a problem, general anesthetics have a "dose" problem, the dose is small and the numbness does not move, and the dose is large and will lead to death. Nikolai just looked at Dracula's experimental notes, and didn't actually do it, how can he know the dose?
"In this way, you first take Lielie as an experiment, if you can turn Lielie hemp over, it is estimated that it will not be a problem to turn over the snake god. Wang Xika said.
After all, as a Tyrannosaurus rex, Lielie's body size is not far behind, even if it is not as tall as the snake god.
"Okay, okay......"
Nikolai began to prepare anesthetics, first experimenting with Bison Bill, and successfully turning Beer overturned. Immediately afterwards, the dose was doubled, and Lie Lie was successfully numbed.
After a period of time, Nikolai used Bill and Lie Lie to conduct animal experiments every day, and the technology became more and more proficient.
It took Nikolai more than a week to become a master anesthesia. Tyrannosaurus rex, Diplodocus, Brachiosaurus, no matter how big the animal is, as long as Nikolai glances, he can accurately judge the dosage and anesthesia time. All in all, Bison Bill and Tyrannosaurus Rex Fierce later saw Nikolai walking around.
"Well, it's done, I think we can go to Niagara. I am confident that I will be able to overturn the snake god. Nikolai said.
Nikolai said he had faith, and that was really faith.
Wang Xijia and the others walked away and headed towards Niagara Falls.
The source of Niagara Falls is the Niagara River, which rushes down the cliffs to rejoin downstream, falling 15.8 meters at a speed of 35.4 kilometers per hour in a section less than 2 kilometers long and finally flowing from west to east into Lake Ontario in the Great Lakes.
In fact, Niagara is made up of three parts: the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls, and the Bridal Veil Falls. All three waterfalls originate from the Niagara River and together form a group of waterfalls that are more than 1,000 meters wide.
The world's largest waterfall also has an impressive flow of 6,000 cubic metres per second. It is said that one-fifth of the world's fresh water flows down from Niagara Falls, which shows the incredible power of this fall. In later generations, as a famous tourist attraction, Niagara Falls was crowded with tourists all year round, and sometimes there was a queue to take photos at popular scenic spots.
But in this era, the vicinity of Niagara Falls can be described as uninhabited - because of the presence of the snake god, people in the vicinity try to stay away from the falls. And Wang Xijia has to find a way to change this situation.
A few kilometers away, you can hear the rumbling sound of water. Niagara's name for the water of the god of thunder is indeed not for nothing. Wang Xijia also came to Niagara in later generations, but at that time, Niagara was a famous scenic spot, surrounded by the voices of tourists, the sound of mobile phones, and I didn't think there was anything special about the sound of water.
Now it's different, and in the silence the sound of water in Niagara is particularly loud, "boom, boom". It was as if the sky was thundering, and it was as if someone was beating a drum one at a time.
After only listening to this voice for a while, Wang Xijia suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart. It seems that the sound of the water flow and the rhythm of one's own heartbeat form some kind of resonance, causing the heart rate to be a little abnormal. He was about to speak, when he heard a loud roar in his ear.
"The snake god is flying!
That's when the grey beaver spotted the anomaly. Although everyone was very confident in Wang Xijia's victory over the snake god, they still turned around one after another.
Wang Xika suddenly found a huge butterfly in the reflection of the lake, which looked even stranger than the one painted in the fox river. The paintings of the Fox River are all made of charcoal, and the colors are not visible. When I saw the reflection at this moment, I found that the color of this snake god was very bright, the snake-like body was pink, the two huge claws were blue-black, and the pair of huge wings on the back were light blue. The most conspicuous thing is the neck of the "snake god", which is as thick and flat as a cobra, and looks as if it has an extra head.
It is estimated from the reflection that the body of this snake god is about 50 meters long, which is much larger than Lie Lieke, and even larger than Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus, and Blue Whale. But compared to the divine dragon that Wang Xijia had seen before, the Kunpeng Beast was still far behind.
Well, an animal of this size, your own team can still deal with it. I don't know if Nikolai's anesthetic will be able to numb this thing for 5 or 6 hours.
Seeing this strange animal, Wang Xijia's first reaction was to take out his camera to take pictures. He is now like a reporter, he wants to take pictures of everything he sees. Before I could resist the camera, I suddenly felt a strange smell from the tip of my nose, which seemed to be the smell of Nikolai's anesthetic - could it be that Nikolai's medicine was leaking?
Wang Xijia only felt that his head was getting heavier and heavier, and his tongue began to go numb. When he was drowsy, Nikolai suddenly patted Wang Xijia's shoulder and stuffed a pecan into Wang Xijia's mouth. This pecan is also called American walnut, which can relieve anesthetic.
Wang Xika was really much more sober and asked, "Is your anesthetic leaking?"
"No, it's the smell of the snake god, and it seems that the smell of the snake god is narcotic. In this way, it is not so easy to turn this snake god hemp over. Nikolai analyzed.
After all, if the snake god himself can secrete anesthetics, how can he be numbed? Wang Xijia's heart moved, and he suddenly thought: Could it be that the snake god is not powerful because of its eyes, but because of its smell?
You must know that in nature, it is rare to hypnotize prey by eye gaze, but there are many animals that use smell to make the enemy ineffective. For example, foxes and skunks will emit a pungent smell when they are attacked.
Perhaps the Indians who approached the snake god before were fascinated by the scent of the snake god. The Indians who had come into close contact with the snake god were all dead, and the rest of the people did not know exactly how the monster killed the Indians, so they wondered if its eyes had some kind of magical power.
Of course, it is not excluded that in addition to secreting anesthetics, this monster also has the ability to hypnotize its eyes.
"Everyone has pecans in their mouths!" Wang Xijia saw that everyone present was dazed, and hurriedly asked everyone to take pecans in their mouths.
"I suspect that the snake god is powerful because it can anesthetize, maybe the snake god's eyes are fine, the main thing is that its smell will make people unconscious. Wang Xika told everyone his conjecture.
Everyone agreed. But some people say that maybe the eyes of the snake god also have to be guarded against, after all, there is no wind and no waves, and it is estimated that its eyes do have some problems, otherwise others would not have passed it on like this.
It is also said that the voice of the snake god also has a certain lethality. When the snake god took off, he heard that voice and felt disgusting. Wang Xijia remembered the thunderous sound of water he heard before, which seemed to be a little abnormal. Now that the snake god has flown away, it seems to be much easier.
If the "snake god" only secretes narcotics, it would be better to say, just take a pecan in your mouth and cover your mouth and nose. I'm afraid that this "snake god" will secrete the smell of anesthesia again, and the eyes can be hypnotized, and it can make a comatose sound after it is over, which is too strong.
Do you have to cover your mouth and nose, your eyes, and your ears to fight the snake god?
It stands to reason that with the size of the "snake god", strength alone is enough to prey, and there is no need to evolve such bells and whistles combat skills.
In nature, poisonous creatures are generally not large, such as poison dart frogs and poisonous snakes. They rely primarily on venom to kill their prey, so they don't need to be very large.
And large creatures are often non-venomous, such as bullfrogs in frogs, pythons in snakes, and large mammals and dinosaurs, which are not poisonous. These animals hunt by strength.
From an evolutionary point of view, if the "snake god" has all kinds of strange abilities, it means that it needs to rely on these abilities to defeat enemies stronger than its size, and it may also be to defend against heaven and earth.
So, what are the natural enemies of the "snake god"? On this planet, Wang Xijia has seen creatures that are larger than the "snake god", that is, the divine dragon he saw near Fusang Island and the Kunpeng beast he saw in the North Pole.
Could it be that the Snake God's abilities are for dragons or Kunpengmon, but is it a dragon or a Kunpengmon? or both? Or is it an alien creature that can deal with the kind of planet-devouring cosmic wyvern he saw in the manuscript?
The more Wang Xika thought about it, the more confused he became, and he vaguely felt as if he had discovered some great secret, but he couldn't tell why.
"I think this snake god is very similar to a feathered insect. Nikolai said.
"What worm?" Wang Xika didn't hear clearly.
"Featherfish, I've seen it in Dracula's notes. Dracula's anesthetic is derived from the secretions of this winged insect, which can be used to anesthetize other insects. But this snake god is much better than a winged worm," Nikolai said. He has an amazing memory, and Dracula's lab notes can be remembered clearly after reading them only once.
"Write those words out and I'll see them. Wang Xika said. Chinese characters are ideograms, and sometimes you don't understand the meaning without seeing the words, because there are many homophones. And the original text of Dracula's notes is not Chinese characters, these words were translated into Chinese characters by Nikolai himself, no wonder Wang Xika does not know
So Nikolai wrote the words "feathers, wings, and insects" on the ground one by one.
Now Wang Xika understood. I think this translation is indeed quite appropriate, and it almost meets the standard of "faith, reach, and elegance". The "snake god" has thick forelimbs and a slender body, not so much like a snake, but more like an arthropod like a crab or lobster. Or rather, insects.
