4.96 Hunters and Prey Down
The solo adventure of a person has experienced a lot, which has taught Wu Chen to be patient and persistent. and a growing reverence for the shelter.
Although he knew that gathering five Inner Dans with different attributes, activating the five elements of symbiosis, maximizing the time of his skills, killing all the horse thieves, and retrieving the iron essence needed to open the hole was the most urgent thing to solve at present. However, he was still able to eat and sleep in a regular manner, and then got up early and rode a bighorn deer to the endless frozen forest.
Two Neidan, one fire, and one earth. So the demon beasts of these two families can not be provoked. Bighorn took him to another beast's territory.
"See?" Hiding behind a large tree covered with hoarfrost, the bighorn deer set its sights on a frozen ground.
"See what?" Wu Chen looked at it very carefully, and didn't find what the bighorn deer was referring to.
"On the ground, red snow." Following the gaze of the bighorn deer, Wu Chen really found patches of red snow like watermelon pulps scattered among the bushes. Subconsciously sniffed, it seemed to smell a faint watermelon.
"Watermelon snow?" Wu Chen switched to the perspective of the energy body, and sure enough, he saw crimson veins swimming between the trees, spreading out a large area.
"It's a fitting name." The bighorn deer nodded: "It's a demon beast of the water system." ”
This 'snow', which smells and looks like watermelon, is actually a type of algae. It's called Chlamydomonas. Chlamydomonas cellularum contains a lot of sugars and lipids, which can reduce the temperature of the cell fluid when it freezes, plus the protection of a thick cell wall. -40°C will not freeze them out. It is also because it contains hemoglobin. So it's red.
Wu Chen uses his unique energy body perspective. Following the vein of energy circulation, I found the brilliant Neidan. It's just that unlike the inner pill condensed by ordinary demon beasts, the inner pill of Chlamydomonas snow seems to be a large piece of granularity. From the perspective of the energy body, it looks like a bright stardust.
"This large piece of watermelon snow is a demon beast?" The uncomplicated energy circuits are connected to each other, spreading out a large area, which seems to be very different from the protists in Wu Chen's memory.
"They are one and different individuals." Bighorn deer are clearly experienced: "Don't underestimate them. They release a pleasant sweet smell to attract nearby snow ants. When the snow ants step on this luscious syrup, they will be engulfed in an instant. ”
"So they've evolved into predators too?" Wu Chen understood.
"That's right, don't be stuck to your body by them......" Before the bighorn deer finished speaking, Wu Chen turned around and left.
"Where is the master?"
"Into town." Far out of the territory of watermelon snow, Wu Chen turned over and rode on the bighorn deer and walked away. Wu Chen went back and asked the old hunter for some broken silver, and then went straight into the city.
When he returned, the deer had already carried a sack of salt on its back. Because it was the hunter who came to buy the salt, the guy at the salt shop didn't ask too much, and he collected the money and shipped it. Back to the hunting house. It was getting late, and Wu Chen asked Luo Lan to fetch a wooden basin. Once you've filled it with hot water, start adding salt to it.
"Brother Wu Chen, what are you doing here?" Loren grew up in a hunting house, so she shouldn't be too proficient in all kinds of chores related to this. However, she couldn't see what Wu Chen was going to do. Cured bacon? No, don't melt a whole bag of salt.
"Loran, what happens if you drink too much salt water?" Wu Chen asked with a smile.
"If you put too much salt, the broth will be salty. If you drink too much, you will be thirsty. "This is the life experience of Loraine.
"That's right, so my brother is going to feed the thick salt water to a demon beast in the forest." Wu Chen smiled: "It will also be thirsty. ”
"Oh......" Although she didn't know what esoteric theories were in it, Wu Chen told her this, and the girl was already very happy.
After the whole bag of salt is dissolved, as the water temperature drops, white salt crystals gradually appear at the bottom of the large wooden basin. Anyone who has studied basic physics knows that the concentration of salt water at this time has reached a saturated state. Otherwise, there would be no salt crystals.
With Luo Lan's help, Wu Chen packed the salt water in multiple skin bags and threw it into the hunting spy. When we rushed back to the frozen forest, it was getting late.
Bighorn was also curious: "Master, what do you want to do?" ”
"Of course, it's to feed the watermelon snow and drink salt water." The salt water was very heavy, and Wu Chen was a little struggling alone. The bighorn deer immediately bowed its head and pressed several skin bags against its antlers.
Anyone who has studied basic biology knows that concentrated brine has a higher concentration than cell fluid, and osmosis will cause bacteria to lose water and die. The bighorn deer trotted towards the red snowfield according to Wu Chen's instructions. Towards the edge, it jerks and tosses the skin far into the red snowfield.
Before the skin could hit the ground, countless scarlet mucus tentacles suddenly emerged from the ground, wrapping the skin and dragging it into the body!
"Medium!" The sun-shooting arrow pulls out a long golden light and shoots through the skin!
Warm salt water began to overflow uncontrollably.
At first, Watermelon Snow thought that it was sucking the luscious blood and body fluids of its prey. However, as one capsule after another was shot by Wu Chen, the saturated salt water began to exert terrifying power.
As a single-celled population organism, saturated saline is very terrifying to its lethality.
The so-called osmosis is the phenomenon in which water molecules or other solvent molecules enter a high-concentration solution from a low-concentration solution through a semi-permeable membrane. Therefore, the cell fluid of the watermelon snow single cell begins to penetrate to the saturated concentrated brine.
With a large loss of cellular fluid, the single cell begins to shrink. So this red snowfield suddenly became agitated!
The watermelon snow that spread between the trees was like the blood of an unknown beast, twisting, struggling, and crying silently in the white frozen soil and frost-covered rush.
The gel body, which rippled with a crystal bright red hue, quickly ashed, condensed, and dried up. It turned into a reddish-brown crystal.
The hardened crystals are like red crystals, which, while beautiful, are inactive.
As the body began to harden and die from the ends, the tiny inner pills like stars began to converge towards the center. When 99% of the body has solidified into red crystal, only a piece the size of the central wellhead remains, and it is still trembling with a faint activity.
"Be careful, master." Bighorn suddenly discovered something.
"It's a trap." Wu Chen smiled and pulled out his horizontal knife, stepped on the hard red crystal, and walked towards the 'star well' where countless stars gathered in the center.
The smooth crystal floor faithfully presents the reflection of Wu Chen. And with his footsteps, it was gradually stretched by the setting sun.
Wu Chen stared intently at the wellhead that released a beam of starlight that shot straight into the sky, and did not pay attention to the changes under his feet.
When he walked to the side of the star well with vigilance, holding the knife in both hands, and was about to stab with force, the wind suddenly rose behind him!
When he swung his knife and slashed behind his back, he found that a dark red figure was being pierced through the back by a bighorn deer, and was caught in the antlers!
"I'll go!" Wu Chen suddenly woke up: "What an insidious poisonous plan! "It turns out that the beautiful Hoshii is an attractive bait, but the real killer move is this phantom that is almost exactly the same as his body!
Seeing that the phantom was still struggling among the golden antlers of the bighorn deer, Wu Chen slashed his head with a backhand.
The headless corpse spewed red light and faded away.
And the star well behind it also quickly retracted its light and turned into a brilliant inner dan.
was carefully cut out by Wu Chen with a horizontal knife, and flew into the hollow silver silk ball with a ding.
"Three talents." Bighorn laughed.
There are three inner pills, one fire, one earth, and one water.
Wu Chen finally understood what it meant to be 'three talents'.
I saw that the three Neidan formed a stable triangle in the hollowed-out silver silk ball. Whenever two rival Nedan tries to approach each other in water, fire, and earth, the other one will drag the other two to death under the action of the triangular moment. A dynamic equilibrium is formed.
This is a stunt that can only be mastered by a three-quarter mechanic.
Inhaling this inner pill, Wu Chen's horizontal knife began to grow again, turning into a large horizontal knife one meter long. The blade length is more than 70.
And the energy talisman in his mind, after the wolf claw, leopard mouth, antlers, mink tail, saber teeth, mouse shadow, and python body, there is another 'virtual image'.
The bighorn deer shook his head, walked to Wu Chen's side, and looked at the big horizontal knife in Wu Chen's hand with some horror: "Master, when you get five of them, what will it become?" ”
"I don't know. Will it become the legendary 'broken human and horse harness'? Wu Chen is also eager to try.
"Master, you really were born to slay demons......" The bighorn deer suddenly rejoiced. It's a shame that it's the same as this guy!
It is said that the crystals of watermelon snow are also precious forging materials, so Wu Chen cut them into pieces, moved them all into hunting skids, and returned to the hunting house.
For Wu Chen's harvest every time he goes out, Luo Lan is full of expectations. In fact, she didn't care how valuable these gains were, she was just happy for Wu Chen. The simple girl is like a spotless white yarn, even if she holds it for a long time, Wu Chen can't bear to touch it. I am afraid that the dirt I am stained in the billowing red dust will destroy her purity and beauty.
Fortunately, I have been getting up early and greedy lately, and there are endless things to do. After the three of them finished eating a steaming dinner, Luo Lan first beat Wu Chen's footwashing water, and then put the washed dishes and chopsticks into the cauldron to cook. In this way, sterilization and disinfection.
It's a very good habit.
Wash your face with cold water and soak your feet in hot water. Changing into a pair of clogs for indoor wear, Wu Chen fell asleep comfortably.
Luo Lan gently lifted a curtain and walked in lightly. Take out Wu Chen's wolf skin hunting costume to brush off the debris and put it next to the fire to bake. He scalded the pot of soju for the grandfather who was wiping the hunting bow next to the fire, and then returned to the inner room.
Loraine's room was at the innermost end of the hunting house. With its back to the frozen mountain, there are only doors and no windows. Although it was as simple and rough as the outside, it was cleaned up by the girl.
Just a little chilly away from the fire pit in the hall. The girl who took off her coat got into the thick bearskin bedding with the warm quilt in the incense burner, and also fell asleep sweetly.
Ice crystals mingled in the wind and snow against the thick stone walls, and the bighorn deer in the stables chewed on the golden wheat bran cake and snorted in comfort......
Cold ice fields, warm hunting houses.
Life can always bloom with beauty in cruelty. (To be continued.) )
