Chapter 623: Capturing the Earth Blue
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Ziyang felt that the alternative method proposed by Shangguan Kangning was still very reliable, and the possibility of success was relatively high.
Although I don't know if the female Gu worms of the sun and moon nose insects that have been left in the treasure can still emit that kind of smell after so many years, this is beyond my control. As long as you have done everything you can do, considered all possible situations, and figured out how to deal with it, whether the rest of the things can succeed depends on fate.
So Chen Ziyang agreed, promising to help Shangguan Kangning to find the ground green insects, but then he thought of a question, so he asked Shangguan Kangning:
"We have a lot less time, not too much, if we help you find the Earth Green Worm, how long will it take you to refine the worm into a Gu worm? If you don't refine it into Gu worms, is there no way to capture the smell at all? ”
"It usually takes a long time to refine a Gu worm, but fortunately, the worm we are looking for is the Earth Green Worm, if you don't have much time, I can not refine the Earth Green into a Gu worm, but directly use the protozoa, as long as you pay attention to the method of use, the effect will not be bad.
This kind of insect is very special, and in the circle of Gu people, this kind of insect is called a semi-Gu worm. That's because among all the insects that can be refined into Gu worms, the characteristics of this insect are the closest to Gu worms, even if it is refined, half a month is enough, unlike some insects that are very difficult to refine, it takes several years to refine into Gu worms.
That's why I'll ask you to help me find this bug, and it's precisely because the characteristics of this bug are very close to Gu worms, so I guess that since other Gu worms will be interested in you, then this bug will definitely be interested in you as well.
According to what you told me before, I have judged that there must be something on your body, or some smell that Gu worms particularly like, so it will cause Gu worms to be restless, and these Gu worms want to rush on you.
But I think these things that attract Gu worms of yours can only attract Gu worms, not insects that have not been refined into Gu worms, right? ”
After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyang nodded. What Shangguan Kangning said was indeed not wrong, since he found out from Shangguan Qing that he could cause the restlessness of the Gu worms, until now, only the Gu worms brought by Shangguan Qing and Shangguan Kangning will be agitated, and other normal insects do not have this reaction at all.
During the ten days of searching for Shangguan Kangning, the five people crossed the inaccessible mountains. In these mountains, there are really countless insects, although they have been bitten by mosquitoes many times along the way, and have been bitten by some other insects, but the other four people have been bitten by insects no less than themselves.
So in this way, in the eyes of other ordinary insects, their attraction is only average. Indeed, just like Shangguan Kangning said, only Gu insects will be interested in themselves, and they will be attracted by something on their bodies within a certain range, while other ordinary insects do not have this kind of abnormality.
"Looks like I guessed correctly. If you think about it this way, it is more likely that we can catch the ground green worm, the ground blue insect is almost a natural Gu worm, and their characteristics are very similar to the Gu worm, so these insects will definitely be attracted to you. ”
Speaking of this, Shangguan Kangning's eyes lit up, and then he slammed the armrest of the stool, it seemed that he was really excited.
It's no wonder that Shangguan Kangning has been looking for the ground green worm for ten consecutive years, and in these ten years, at this time of every year, he has to trek through mountains and rivers to get here, not to mention how much suffering he has suffered, the key is that every time he returns in vain.
And now that Chen Ziyang's appearance has made it possible for him to get the ground green worm, and even the possibility is very large, it is no wonder that Shangguan Kangning will make such an excited move.
The three of them talked for such a long time, and the night was already very deep, because they had to get up early the next morning to catch insects, so Shangguan Kangning and Chen Ziyang discussed some details, and then took them to rest.
In order to prevent the Gu worms from agitating again, Shangguan Kangning was far away from Chen Ziyang when he was leading the way, and even the room he arranged for Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei was very far away from the room where he lived.
There are more than a dozen houses in this small village, and there are only about two dozen villagers, so several of the houses are empty, and there are many places to live, but all of them are very simple.
Even so, it is much better than sleeping in the barren mountains and mountains, Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei have nothing to find fault with, after all, they have a bed to sleep on and a quilt cover.
Maybe it's because the plank bed is too hard, it's hard to fall asleep, or it's because there are too many things on the mind, and you can usually fall asleep as soon as you dip your pillow, and Yang Lei, who snores and snores, has a rare insomnia.
"Er Yang, did you say that Shangguan Kangning, this kid, is lying to us? In fact, he has other ways to catch the scent of the Sun and Moon Nose Worm, or he simply has no way to do it, and the reason why he pulls the Earth Green Worm in is simply to use you, and wants you to help him catch the worm that he hasn't caught in ten years. ”
It's not impossible, but judging from Shangguan Kangning's tone and the speed with which he answered questions, I think what he said should still be very credible.
His logic is clear, and what he says makes sense, so I guess it's less likely that he deceived us. Besides, even if you are deceived by him once, what can you do?
He is a friend of the Dao Gu, and it seems that the relationship between the two is relatively good. Even if we are deceived, we will do our friends a favor, and we will not lose anything, at most three or five days. The roots can't catch the smell of the sun and moon nose worm, and these times are really nothing.
If there is no way to get a breakthrough here in Shangguan Kangning, maybe we will have to find the treasure left by Yuan Tiangang with the naked eye, in that case, it will be very difficult to find the treasure, it will take more time, and it may not even be found at all, so the investment in these days is still very necessary.
Don't think about it, I'm tired these days, and I haven't had a good rest, so hurry up and go to bed, and I'll have to get up early tomorrow. ”
Although Chen Ziyang persuaded Yang Lei like this, he couldn't sleep at all, and he kept thinking about why he attracted Gu worms. After careful analysis and comparison, he put the cause on the heart of the dryad.
Back then, in the Bohai Palace, Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai had also inhaled the red mist emitted from the dragon's blood strain, but the difference between himself and the two of them was that he had also injected one when he was salvaging the Bailang Pill.
According to Instructor Liu, the mist emitted by the dragon's blood strain or the extract of the dragon's blood strain will remain in the person's body, and if there is too much left, it will cause the person to fall into a state of madness, and in serious cases, it will explode and die.
From this point of view, if the thing that attracted Gu worms was really the dragon blood strain, when Yang Lei and Umbrella Shi Shuai walked into Shangguan Qing's room together, it was impossible for those Gu worms to be unmoved.
Even if the two of them suck less, there is not much residue in their bodies, and the time has passed, they should still attract a small number of Gu worms that are closer to them.
So from this point of view, the thing that attracts Gu worms is not the dragon blood strain, so there is only one heart left that he has eaten before, but I don't know why these Gu worms react so much to the heart of the Dryad.
At four o'clock in the morning the next day, Shangguan Kangning called Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei up, and it was not yet dawn. Although the two of them were not very well rested, considering that there was still a long mountain road to go, they had to grit their teeth to wake themselves up.
When he was on the road, Shangguan Kangning did an experiment, he kept changing the distance between himself and Chen Ziyang, in order to judge how close Chen Ziyang could be to attract the Gu worm's reaction.
After repeated experiments, this distance was fixed at about five meters, that is to say, within five meters of Chen Ziyang's side, the Gu worms would have abnormal changes. And the closer it gets, the crazier the Gu worm will be, and the shorter the time for the mutation to appear. This provided some information for Shangguan Kangning to formulate a plan to capture the ground green worm.
The three of them waded through a stream, climbed a cliff, and walked along the rugged mountain road for a long time, and by the time Shangguan Kangning motioned for a few people to stop, more than three hours had passed.
This is a mountainside, and the slope of the hill is not very steep, so it seems that this is the place to catch the ground green worms.
Shangguan Kangning pointed to a clearing between the two peaks not far ahead, and said, "Five years ago, on the easternmost side of this mountain range, I found a carapace shed by a ground green worm.
Three years ago, I found the carapace shed by two ground blue insects at one time in the area between the two peaks in front of me, so I estimate that it is most likely to find ground blue in front of me.
But I've been searching this area for the past two years, but I haven't found anything, and now I hope you two can bring me good luck. ”
"The place has arrived, how are you going to catch this bug?" Chen Ziyang asked breathlessly.
Shangguan Kangning put down his backpack, and then took out some white plastic sheets in a large ball in the backpack. When he unfolded all the large balls of plastic sheeting, Chen Ziyang realized that it seemed to be a piece of clothing.
This is a piece of clothing made entirely of plastic sheeting, which made Chen Ziyang's first thought of the kind of dustproof clothing in the laboratory. But it is obvious that Shangguan Kangning's dress is not a dust-proof suit, because this dress is very rough and does not have that kind of lofty feeling with a sense of technology, and it looks as if he made it himself.
At first glance, the dress looks like a hooded jumpsuit, with no placket, no zippers, no cuffs and no trouser legs. The whole garment was sealed except for the hood, and the only way to wear it was to get through the hole in the hood with an elastic band.
While laboriously wearing this strange dress, Shangguan Kangning said to Chen Ziyang: "The sense of smell of this insect is very keen, and this insect can use the smell to determine the location of other insects that emit odor.
Therefore, in the world of Earth Blue, except for the place where they are, all other places are covered with all kinds of insects, just like a little sheep that has entered the wolves.
Because of this, the courage of this insect is very small, to the point that it is ridiculous.
In order not to be spotted by other insects around it, it lives underground all year round and feeds on some grass roots and tree roots. Although the insects are omnivorous and like to eat other insects, they do not dare to appear on the ground to catch other small insects.
It is only during the mating period that these insects crawl out of the ground, partly for mating and partly because they catch pheromone-secreting insects to provide nutrients for their reproductive offspring.
And this time period is very short, only a few days in a year, and now it has entered the mating period of the ground blue, if you count it, at most there is a week at most, and the mating period of the ground green will be over.
The human body also emits a great smell, and if it smells the smell of the human body, these insects will hide far away, which is why this kind of insect is very difficult to catch. ”
Speaking of which, Shangguan Kangning had already put on that strange dress, and this time Chen Ziyang could be regarded as seeing the true face of this dress.
The whole outfit is like a coverall, except that the gloves and foot coverings are all connected, and they are all made of plastic sheeting. After getting dressed, Shangguan Kangning pulled the elastic band on his hat, completely wrapped his entire head, only exposing his face and wearing a mask.
"In order to prevent Diqing from smelling my body, I specially made this dress, but it still emits a small amount of smell, although this smell is not perceptible to people, but it is very obvious under Diqing's nose.
This is the only one of these clothes, so your friend can't go up with us, but stay here, I'm afraid he'll scare the bugs away.
You don't need to wear this kind of clothes, your smell should be very attractive to Diqing, and my plan is also very simple, I will leave you at a distance, you walk slowly in front, and I will follow behind.
If the earth green smells your body, it will definitely approach your direction, and even climb on you, I can see it not far away, and that is the time to catch the ground blue. ”
Chen Ziyang nodded, then took off his backpack, threw it at Yang Lei's feet with Shangguan Kangning's backpack, and walked towards the top of the hillside.
