Chapter 44: The Poor Dagger (1)

Following the creek to a crescent-shaped lake upstream, Richard began digging again.

This time, the things buried in the ground are still pockets, piled up.

It's just that the salted fish foam has become all kinds of internal organs and bones, and many of them are still a whole piece. There were several huge fish bones, four or five meters long, with rotting fish heads hanging from them, and their dry and white eyes were bulging.

Their fate was the same as that of salted fish, and they were pushed into the small lake one after another by Richard.

The small lake covers an area of more than a dozen acres, and it is a kilometer or two away from the river of Campas.

Unlike before, this time Richard chose to leave these entrails and fish bones behind in the stillest place of the current. Because there were so many pockets, it took him a lot of effort.

Richard finished processing this before removing the last two bags of salted fish foam that had been buried in another pit.

This time he cut a small cut and soaked them in the stream that had come before, not far from the small lake.

As the stream flowed downward, two large bags of salted fish powder slowly flowed along the meandering course to the great river of Campas in the back.

Richard ran far away.

Among the many senses, smell is the most common. It works by distinguishing odor molecules in air and water through sensory organs and exploring the surrounding space.

Since the dispersal of odor requires a certain process, the sense of smell has a significant lag compared with other senses.

Vision relies on visible light, which can travel at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second. The sense of hearing relies on sound waves, although relatively weak, but the speed of sound in the air is also 340 meters per second. So, what you hear or see is almost instantaneous. At a certain distance, as soon as the basic light appears or the sound sounds, you can immediately find the clue of the source of the light or sound.

On the olfactory side, it relies on odor molecules to spread much less quickly, and additional factors such as wind direction and water flow have to be taken into account.

There's a lot to be done with this difference.

Richard first sprinkled salted fish foam at the confluence of rivers to attract the demon shark. Then, taking advantage of the time it was seeking, he walked to the top of the stream.

The purpose of this is to prevent the Demon Shark from entering the game too quickly.

If you sow salted fish foam directly in the small lake, the demon shark will smell the smell and will most likely go directly up the stream. In this way, he will undoubtedly be in a hurry.

Although he has three backers behind him, his life will not be in danger, but this performance is likely to be messed up.

Richard was ready to contribute a perfect hunt this time.

He wanted people to see that he could play with this giant beast without any external force at all.

Sure enough, when Richard was far away from the bank of the stream, forty or fifty meters away, the demon shark could smell the smell from the stream. It didn't suspect him, and under a strong physiological impulse, it twisted its body and went up along the winding stream.

The demon shark is more than 40 meters long, and its body width is about one-sixth of its length. The small river from which it came up was only about ten meters wide, and it could only accommodate its colossal size.

At the beginning of the open-air experiment, Richard was also apprehensive about this.

After all, compared to the behemoth body of the demon shark, this stream is too narrow and shallow. But the results of the experiment were beyond his expectations, and the giant beast seemed to have lost its mind and the urge to forage for food overrode everything under the lure of salted fish foam.

At this moment, not only Richard himself rejoiced, but also waves of cheers sounded on the high hill behind him.

"That demon shark has taken the bait!"

"This guy is amazing, he actually thought of this way. ”

"I didn't expect the key point to be in the salted fish foam. ”

"The idea of using the Bunkage is really stupid. ”

......

Richard's plan is actually not difficult to understand.

As long as you know how to lure smells, everything will fall into place. Compared to the plan of the Funekage, the difference is also here. Because one of the necessary conditions to achieve the latter is open water, otherwise it will not be able to accommodate a large ship, let alone a ship. This limited the location of the war, and took the initiative to hand over the important winning factor of geographical advantage.

But seeing that the demon shark finally swam up the river and directly into the small lake, the people on the high hill couldn't understand it.

"Isn't this kid delaying the military plane?"

Old Man Safin asked the people around him in confusion.

"Why didn't he attack the beast while he was still in the creek, when it was in his best interest. ”

Nordron, on the other side, glanced at his lameness.

"I wanted to know about the salted fish foam, and I would have taken it down a long time ago. How ......different is it from being in a big river instead of setting up an ambush in a creek and letting it get into the lake?

In the distance, the sound of demon sharks playing in the water was heard one after another.

As soon as this huge monster arrived in the small lake, it seemed to go berserk. It kept jumping around in the small lake, and its nearly 100-ton body sometimes jumped up from the water and fell with a bang.

The little treats Richard had prepared for it seemed to have played a role.

After all, there were dozens of pockets that were thrown into the lake before. This is all garbage that others don't want, and all the internal organs and bones produced in the city of Kampas in two days are basically concentrated here.

As he expected, the demon shark began a strange foraging plan after playing in the water.

Suddenly, there was a small shark in the small lake, swimming around, bringing all kinds of things to it. This giant beast is using magic to collect food for itself!

The more noisy it is, the less people will understand.

"What the hell is this guy trying to do. Master Tuya also stroked his beard, his face full of wonder.

His Royal Highness the Prince behind him was looking at Richard under the hill from afar, with a playful face.

The matter of the demon shark is indeed something he owes it to consider.

Through the previous sea giants and Nordren's several hunts, the skills of the demon shark showed the tip of the iceberg. Although, Parthia knew that this giant beast had only one or two kinds of magic. But due to the proper cooperation with each other, coupled with a strange huge force, it is no longer ordinary. It takes a lot of brains to capture such a giant monster that can compete with dragons.

In the past two days, His Royal Highness the Prince has been thinking about whether to help Nurman secretly. After all, this play has already been sung, and it is so messed up and it will also lose his face. But if he really wanted to do it, it would be too shameless, and it made him a little resistant. Undoubtedly, this created an impasse.

At this time, Richard came to the door.

Parthia didn't think Richard was very competent, he was only afraid of Audrey and them, especially Heloise, who was extraordinary. But because of her knowledge, Parthia didn't think they would go back on their word.

Seeing Richard miss such a good opportunity at this moment, His Royal Highness the prince thought about it.

Does he want to use this to show favor to me?

Parthia mused.

Knowing this method, hunting the demon shark will become much easier, and the current stalemate will not be extricated. His Royal Highness the Prince couldn't help but think of Richard's identity - a son of a broken family.

They must have told him this way, so that he could pave the way for his future.

Just as the Parthian prince estimated that he had the truth, Richard took out the scroll that had been prepared from his bosom.

Walking to the confluence of the creek and the lake, he stopped at a small corner of the river. Then, following the use of the scroll, Richard unfolded an earthen wall technique.

After a fluctuation of magic, the ground in front of him suddenly rose and spread rapidly into the river in the distance. When an earthen wall with a wide base and a narrow top and a length of tens of meters was finally formed, the entire stream was split in two.

Then, a strange scene appeared.

Due to the significant height drop, the creek behind the earthen wall dried up quickly.

Just like last night, in just a few minutes, the stream revealed a sludge and pebble bed. Due to the rapid flow of water, there are still many large and small fish trapped in some puddles.

Richard had discovered the special place the day before yesterday.

He noticed that there was a difference of tens of meters between the small lake and the great river of Campas. That's why the creek flows so fast. This means one thing, that is, if he finds the right place to cut off the stream, it is very likely that the whole river will be drained.

The riverbed where the earthen wall technique was performed had actually been trimmed by him. As long as it is blocked, it can completely ensure that the river behind it is not replenished by small lake water.

Cutting off the back road, Richard's last step in the hunt finally came to an end, and he wanted to empty the water in the lake behind him!
