Chapter 803: Track it down
Hearing Zhao Mai's order, Gardener Long first turned his head left and right to find the neural network node on the soil, and then jumped over and wrapped his tail around it, crackling and sending electrical signals. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info "I found it, there happened to be a bug team nearby, I asked them to turn, so as to save some distance." Boss, I've also received a message that Saruman, Thrandis, and Zeratul have arrived at Taleon Fortress and are looking for you. ”
"How did the three of them come together?" Once out of the "plot", Zhao Mai was a little confused, after all, he didn't have superior analytical skills. "However, if you can come to me, you should not come to deal with me - unless Saruman has bewitched both Thrandis and Zeratul, maybe it will be enough to bewitch Thrandis, Zeratul......"
Xiaohua covered her mouth and laughed, in the matter of listening to her sister, Zhao Mai was not qualified to talk about Zeratu. But then again, the age of the realization tree is tens of thousands of years older than Zhao Mai, and Xiaohua is not a sister according to reason, but she is just young.
"Can't you see them?" Xiaohua asked, holding back a smile, lowering her hand.
Zhao Mai glanced at the reserve grain, and the dog was urging him to hurry up and get on the road, otherwise it would be easy to lose the target. So Zhao Mai shook his head: "Let Gardener Long receive them and ask what is the matter." If you're sure they're here to help, let them come to me. ”
"Well, that's fine. ”
So, the reserve grain walked in front, sniffing around, looking confident. Zhao Mai also has a strong sense of smell, but he has always sucked his nose red, and he has not smelled the smell of halflings. From time to time, the reserve grain turned back and wagged its tail, looking particularly proud.
They were in the northern wilderness of Mordor, where for millennia there had been dark clouds and almost no vegetation. The ashes that had erupted into the sky from the Doomsday Volcano continued to fall, covering the land with a layer of black over time. In low-lying places, the piles of volcanic ash are like snow, crunching when stepped on. "It hasn't rained in years, and it hasn't even washed this thing away. ”
Xiaohua shook her head, how did she know about this kind of thing. The entire northern part of Mordor is not suitable for the growth of plants, so the surrounding environment makes her feel very uncomfortable. The thin force of nature, mixed with the smell of corruption that disgusts her (in fact, the will of evil), can only be relieved slightly when it is resting on the soil.
But for the sake of Zhao Mai, he has to follow him if he is uncomfortable. Xiaohua sits on the body of the reserve grain in the form of a phantom, saving the physical strength that needs to be consumed by the possessed gardener dragon. She had to keep an eye on Zhao Mai lest he be affected by the Supreme Ring.
A large hand rested on top of his head, and then the surging force of nature enveloped the small flower. "It's more comfortable, isn't it? My ability system is more complex, and I can convert to each other, as long as I have enough to eat, so there is no shortage of natural forces. If the surroundings are uncomfortable, you can tell me, you're welcome, okay?"
Xiaohua nodded vigorously and hummed sweetly. It's just that this happy mood was slightly affected by the gardener dragon: Zhao Mai's natural force was the most in line with Z worm's preferences, so the gardener dragon that followed them came up and hugged Zhao Mai's arm with a snort.
Xiaohua immediately took over the body of the gardener dragon, rubbed a few times and lay on Zhao Mai's back, dragging his neck. Anyway, there is a natural force environment, and this consumption is reimbursed by Zhao Mai, so how can Xiaohua be comfortable.
The only thing that really works is to store grain, and the rest is in the spring outing. Especially after a few carrying insects came, Zhao Mai sat directly on the carapace of the insects, holding the legion bread beside him and eating non-stop. Poor stockpiling, sniffing and walking, humming as if crying.
In the afternoon, they found a hole in the ground, shallow beneath the ground, most likely the nest of pangolins or lizards. There are signs of digging in the burrows, and the soil that has been removed is carefully hidden around and spread evenly. Zhao Mai motioned for the insects to move a little farther away and not to destroy the scene. He used his psychic powers to fly over and float in the air to check for traces on the ground.
"Halflings have slept here, you see their footprints. It's shallow, like a heel, but it has a slightly fluffy feel, and it's about the same size. Reserve food, you can really do it!"
"They had rested in the burrows, and there were neat marks of blankets pressed down. Hey, there's also a straw bag here, and it's ......" Zhao Mai used his psychic ability tentacles to pull out the empty thatched bag from the innermost part of the hole, put it under his nose and sniffed it: "It seems that the legion bread is mixed with the smell of other meats, salted fish and ...... Rabbit?"
Reserve Grain nodded, appreciating Zhao Mai's sense of smell. It was finally able to take a break at this time, and was lying on the back of the porter to receive a massage from the Gardener's Dragon, and by the way, it would eat some legion bread to fill its stomach.
"Wait, are there halfling footprints here!" Zhao Mai made a new discovery. About five meters away from the burrow, he found another kind of footprint, slender soles and stubby fingers, about the same length as a halfling, but certainly more dry and thin.
After carefully searching next to the footprints, Zhao Mai found another palm print, which was also the same slender and shriveled. No creature in Mordor is like this, and halflings and dwarves can also be excluded. So there is only one answer.
"Isn't he dead?" Zhao Mai scratched his head and said to Gardener Long, "Order the jumping worm to bring Gollum's body over, compare it with the traces here, and then tell me the results." ”
The gardener dragon nodded, slid off the back of the porter, and stood firmly on the ground, then raised his face and opened his mouth wide. Extremely low-frequency sound waves can travel long distances and have a strong ability to burn through obstacles. Gardener Long was actually shouting with all his might, but except for Zhao Mai, no one else could hear it.
Zhao Mai didn't actually hear it with his ears, but felt the vibration from the psychic ability shield. The gardener dragon opened his mouth wide and shouted for a while, his little face flushed, and he gasped hard. After a few minutes, Gardener Long's ears shook and tilted his head to listen for a while, and then he said to Zhao Mai: "Boss, the news has already spread, and there are already jumping dogs to carry out this task." However, they don't know what the traces look like, and there is no guarantee that they will be able to complete the comparison. ”
"That's easy to do. Zhao Mai used his psychic ability to take some soil from the ground, and completely copied it according to the footprints and handprints on the ground, making a model of the imprint. When the body arrives, put your hands or feet in the grooves on the model, and you can know if it is the same.
"The model is left here, and one of the transporters is left as a marker, and its cargo is transferred to the other insects, as long as it is eaten. Zhao Mai said to Gardener Long: "When the comparison is finished, you will notify me of the results." ”
Gardener Long nodded, and passed the news on again. Without it, communication can only be relied on, but as long as you can communicate, it is better than knowing nothing. One of the porters stayed behind to nap, and the others finished their rest and continued to follow the smell of the stockpile.
Zhao Mai still couldn't smell the smell of the halfling, so he admired the reserve grain even more.
