Chapter 308: The Altar of Sacrifice (4)
The mountains suddenly moved, the huge mountains suddenly moved a little to the side, and then the ground suddenly shook again.
It seems that the shaking of the ground is inseparable from the moving mountains.
But the mountain range is obviously a dead thing, but why does it move? Wu Ming rubbed his eyes, and something even more surprising appeared, the mountain range suddenly raised its huge head, and a huge whip-shaped elephant trunk was raised, rising a hundred feet into the air.
Unexpectedly, what caused the ground earthquake was a huge elephant like a mountain range.
Wu Ming jumped from the tree and told the truth what he had seen.
Giant elephant? Zheng Xianyue frowned slightly, obviously such a thing has exceeded ordinary cognition.
"What you see is a Hagrid elephant, don't worry, it won't attack people. It was originally the sluice gate of the Liku Reservoir. ”
Yue'er showed a hint of doubt.
"That's right, it's the floodgates. Jackson explained
"The Liku Reservoir was originally a naturally formed waterfall hundreds of meters long, from which it is said that all the water in the world flows. The waterfall is flanked by extremely high enclosed mountains. Hagrid's white elephant likes to be clean, and normally goes to the waterfall to wash its body, but it is so large that it only blocks the mouth of the waterfall pot, which cuts off the flow of water, and gradually fills the reservoir with water. ”
It turns out that every time the Hagrid White Elephant goes to take a bath, it is equivalent to the time when the Liku Reservoir is closed, but how to open the gate, if the Hagrid White Elephant leaves when the reservoir is full of water, I am afraid that it will cause flooding.
Soon, however, Jackson continued, "Not far from the Liku Reservoir, there is a large area of ant repellent trees, and the flowers of the ant repellent trees bloom every two months and do not change with the climate. The smell of the flowers of these ant repellent trees can dispel ants, but the smell is extremely sweet to Hagrid's white elephant. Whenever they smell it, the Hagrid elephant leaves the Liku reservoir in search of ant repellent flowers, which is when the flood water is discharged. ”
Ant repellent trees? If Jackson knew about the existence of ant repellent trees and the presence of ant repellent pollen, why would their tribe still be attacked by giant ants?
From the time he deduced that Wu Ming had used ant repellent pollen on giant ants, Zheng Xianyue had clearly known that the ant repellent pollen power in Jackson's mouth was not ordinary, and it was not impossible to drive out giant ants.
Coupled with the appearance of Lu Xiaohu and Yu Sheng before, it is very likely that the people of their tribe, except for Jackson, no one or maybe only a few people know the purpose of ant repellent trees and ant repellent pollen.
If this is the case, Jackson knows the method but does not tell the tribesmen, I am afraid it is also a scheming. But these are not Zheng Xianyue's concerns, Zheng Xianyue is more curious about Jackson's knowledge of everything, saying so much to increase his favor, what kind of way will he snatch the so-called "key" to enter the Dragon Pavilion from his hands, since he still wants to act, he has the right to accompany him.
Listening to the bubbling sound of the stream coming from ahead, Jackson's eyes showed an unknown hint of cunning, and he gently patted the water bag that he had emptied before. In order to unknowingly dump the water in the water bag, Jackson did not put in a lot of effort.
"Walk through this forest, through the desert below, and when you re-enter the forest, you will see where you want to go, Dragon Pavilion," Jackson pretended to remember something, "Our water bags are empty, and there is a small stream in front of us, which is the last stream before reaching Dragon Pavilion." It's a rare opportunity, so let's take a break and wait for us to replenish some water before we hit the road. ”
Zheng Xianyue nodded in agreement.
Jackson's face was calm, but his heart was full of ecstasy.
Coming to a place not far from the creek, Zheng Xianyue got down from the brute beast for the time being, and Wu Ming helped her to lean against the tree and sit quietly.
Wu Ming stood beside her, guarding her in case a fierce beast suddenly appeared in the forest.
On the edge of the stream, Jackson looked left and right, and when he was sure that no one was paying attention, he took out a small packet of powder, which was one of his usual methods as a hunter, and sprinkled the powder on top of the bait, and once the prey ate was eaten, it would surely faint.
The mouth of the water bag was submerged under the stream, and the medicinal powder was sprinkled three inches upstream of the mouth of the water bag, and the stream water mixed with the medicinal powder soon filled the entire water bag and quickly dissolved, the amount of this medicinal powder was enough to make ten rhinoceros beasts completely stunned, but Jackson couldn't manage so much, as long as he could get the key, even if the two died because of the excessive dose, what did it matter to him?
When Jackson came back filled with water and saw Wu Ming and Zheng Xianyue, he handed the water bag to Wu Ming, in Jackson's opinion, aside from Wu Ming's use of ant repellent pollen to defeat ants, the exquisite swordsmanship he used at that time all showed his threatening nature. As for Zheng Xianyue, what kind of ability can a weak woman have.
To Jackson's surprise, Wu Ming took the water bag and did not send it to himself, but handed it to Zheng Xianyue, should girls be given priority at this time?
Seeing that Zheng Xianyue brought the water bag over and was about to drink it, Jackson was nervous in his heart, if Zheng Xianyue was allowed to drink it first, I am afraid that it would reveal a flaw, and hurriedly pretended to be indignant and said to Wu Ming: "As a man, in this kind of suburb, shouldn't you take a sip before giving it to the lady?
"Poisoning?" Zheng Xianyue looked at Jackson suspiciously, and before she could ask, she had already thrown out her keyword eyes.
Jackson immediately secretly said that something was wrong, waved his hand and said, "I'm just making an analogy." This should be the most basic etiquette when traveling, and before a protected girl eats food or water, shouldn't the food and water be tasted and eaten by the men around her first? ”
"Really?"
"Of course!" said Jackson in a resolute tone, "in our tribe, if we treat a weak girl like this, we will definitely be looked down upon." ”
"Oh, I see," Zheng Xianyue suddenly realized, handed the undrunk water bag to Wu Ming, and Jackson's hanging heart was slightly relaxed.
Wu Ming took the water bag and was about to drink it, when the water bag was brought to his mouth, although Jackson was silent, he was overjoyed in his heart.
"Wait a minute!" Zheng Xianyue called out to Wu Ming, stretched out her hand and snatched the water bag from Wu Ming's hand, she said with a smile, "Don't worry, how can I not worry about you? If someone else goes to irrigate, I may be a little uneasy, but Jackson, if you go to irrigate, I will definitely be a hundred at ease." ”
