Chapter 39: Blood Tests
Richard blurted out this sentence, which made the atmosphere in the room stagnate.
Diana, who was originally turning her head and sighing for Richard's fall, suddenly seemed to understand something, "There is really no difference, it's just this ......"
She pointed to the basins of water on the ground, and struggled to connect them with the behemoth, which was tens of meters long. Richard's approach to research was somewhat beyond her imagination.
The mainstream of the Roland world has never been this set.
Study the beasts, or observe them up close, or rummage through old paper piles for answers, or ask experienced hunters or mercenaries who come into contact with them regularly. There is no such thing as Richard, who cut out one part of the thing and then replace it with another.
In Diana's eyes, the little sharks in those basins are not the same thing as the demon king in the great river of Campas.
But logically, if the five senses have not changed, then why can't they be equated?
Diana has been fighting in her heart for a long time, but she is still a little uncertain.
If she had told Richard what she had thought, I'm afraid she would have received the answer with the phrase "Your research methods are too backward".
The Roland world, in terms of the methodology of the cognitive world, is indeed in a primitive desert period. Compared with rigorous scientific observation, people here seem to believe more in studying metaphysics such as the "Four Elements Theory" that contains all great wisdom, and there are only a few who can open their eyes to the world.
Compared with her, Heloise got out of the wrong thinking faster.
This beautiful woman with long braids and a cold face all day long rarely put down the carving knife in her hand. She looked at Richard, patiently awaiting his explanation.
Audrey laughed again.
Her Royal Highness the princess, clutching her stomach with a sore smile, "How can it be the same, they are not the same at all." Your little thing here can also be compared to that guy who calls the wind and rain?"
"Calling the wind and rain, it is the magical power it uses. But it has nothing to do with its eyesight and hearing. Richard asked rhetorically, "Can't a man of infinite strength be blind at the same time?" Its ability to fight is powerful, but it doesn't mean that the rest of it is just as powerful. ”
"You're just lying on the wrong path. Audrey understood what Richard meant, but she intuitively decided that something was wrong.
Perhaps, the contempt for Richard made her suffer from conjunctivitis in her eyes, and she could not see the situation clearly.
has already seen Richard's sharp teeth, and Audrey doesn't dwell on this point, "Okay, I won't tell you more, anyway, the final result will prove everything." ”
After she finished talking to herself, she got up from her chair and went to the back bedroom.
Before leaving, her eyes glanced at Richard, and then at Diana and Heloise on the side, and there was a smug feeling in her heart.
Her Royal Highness firmly believed that they had been deceived by Richard and brainwashed by that set of crooked reasoning.
If, for Audrey stay another quarter of an hour, perhaps she would have completely changed her attention.
After she was gone, Richard had the next move.
After removing the two planks, he took a blood-smelling clay pot and dripped two drops of ox blood from the jar into the wooden basin on one side.
Diana and Heloise were all close to this side, staring intently.
Soon, they reacted when they saw the five baby sharks together. As the blood spreads in the water, the guys become more and more restless, and they are interested in the basin where the blood is dripping, from the "crotch" to the side of the "trouser leg".
They seem to be patrolling around once they have swam this way. For a long time, they only lingered in this basin.
Richard dripped a dozen more drops of blood in the basin on the other side, waiting for their reaction.
But this time it disappointed him, even if the dripping blood clearly diffused to the basin on the other side, the sharks were only curious to swim towards that side for a while, completely lacking the excitement before.
Richard brought another clay pot, which was not filled with cow blood, but fish blood.
The large wooden basin he had dropped on the original "crotch" had only dropped two or three drops, and the sharks were already moving, and they were crazy, sliding their fins interestingly in this direction, and one of them had a large mouth open.
The effect of fish blood is obviously several levels higher than that of cow blood.
This confirmed Richard's suspicions.
Although I have always heard that sharks are sensitive to blood, there is even a saying that "a drop of blood can be distinguished from a million drops of water". But the problem is that this narrative is too sketchy. First of all, blood is a mixture of many components, and it is extremely rich in substances, so it is not clear which ingredient catches the attention of sharks. Besides, even if it's all blood, is human blood the same thing as pig blood, cow blood, and fish blood?
It was from this point that Richard came up with this quiz.
As for why he did it?
Naturally, he wanted to find a bait that would work best, and that was the key to his plan.
At this moment, Diana glanced wordlessly in the direction of the bedroom.
Although she didn't know Richard's intentions, she already understood that Richard's method was fundamentally different from the group of mercenaries just now.
In the crowd at the time, she heard such a statement.
The demon shark was naturally fond of chasing boats on the water, and when it saw the shadow from the bottom of the boat, it would be madly excited.
So the bait that the gang used was a broken sailboat.
And so it turned out.
The shadow of the sailboat has indeed attracted the patronage of the demon shark.
But using a sailboat as bait to create a huge shadow has a lot of requirements for the environment in which it is ambushed. At the very least, it basically determined that the place of the battle could only be a wide river.
And Richard's approach.
If blood really attracts sharks, wouldn't the bait be set up in some small ditch?
Diana, who has been in battle for a long time, understands that this breakthrough alone can greatly reduce the difficulty of capture.
But that's not enough.
If this is compared to digging a well, Richard's step is only equivalent to digging a few meters downward, and getting to the location of the groundwater will require at least ten times more effort on his part.
Can he do that?
Diana smiled and shook her head.
When she came back from the river, she didn't believe it at all. But Richard's actions made her overturn her previous thoughts.
As she thought, Heloise on one side also saw that she was tired.
"That's not enough. ”
"Don't worry, it's just the beginning......"
