Chapter 184: Collection
Looking at the inside of the big pit, Fengyun only had one word left in his mind - mess.
Dog's breakfast.
The dark red liquid filled every corner of the entire pit, exuding a fishy and sour smell, coupled with the smell of blood scorpion venom that had not completely dissipated, the feeling of standing next to the pit was definitely not good.
"Miss Laneige, what's next?"
Fengyun was scratched at how to get out the blood scorpions that had been mixed with the dark red liquid, so he simply threw the question to Magnozhi.
Fengyun is not a pontographer.
Although Mulanozhi did not specifically say that she participated in several operations to capture blood scorpions, she must have been more than once, and she can be regarded as an expert.
Besides, every time you catch a blood scorpion, you will face the steps of collecting it.
Since he had already seen the blood scorpion in the Baicao Tribe, it meant that they had mastered the method of collecting the blood scorpion, so why should he rack his brains to think about it again.
"It's simple, light a fire. ”
Mulanzhi immediately gave her approach.
"It's not going to burn, is it?"
Fengyun was surprised by the simple and crude way in which Magnolia Zhi handled it.
Burning with fire can indeed dry the dark red liquid and remove the toxicity of the remaining blood scorpion venom, but the question is whether the blood scorpion can withstand the burning of the fire?
Once it burns out, their previous efforts will be in vain.
What's more, after this toss, it has consumed quite a lot of time.
Let's hunt and kill brute beasts to be bait, not to mention whether they can be as lucky as this time. Even if everything goes well, it must be too late to rush back to the Baicao tribe before dark.
"It's not burning all the time. Just use fire to remove the residual toxicity of the venom. Blood scorpions are very resistant to burns. As long as it is not burned for too long, it will not break. ”
Magnolia gave a more detailed explanation of the method of firing.
"I see. ”
Fengyun thought of the situation he had seen in the medicine building to fry blood scorpions, which also needed to withstand the high temperature.
After frying, they are not thrown away, and they can be used in medicine, indicating that they are indeed more resistant to high temperatures.
Fengyun followed Mulanzhi's request and worked with her to find the materials for the burning pit.
They found a vine-like plant attached to a tree. More precisely, what remains of them after they die.
They're dry, and they have a lot of tentacles. It's easy to ignite.
The tribes that live in Razor generally collect some as fire-starters.
Not far from the big pit there is a forest with a lot of this plant climbing on the trees.
It didn't take long. The two of them collected a lot. They were tied up and moved to the side of the big pit.
Fengyun separated them and bundled them into something that resembled a torch, but it was large, thicker than a human waist.
Set them on fire one by one and throw them at different parts of the pit.
In throwing them down, Storm used some force techniques to thrust their lower ends/into the bottom of the pit. Avoid direct contact with the dark red liquid in the pit, and extinguish.
The number of torches is a lot. It was also burning vigorously, and the temperature in the pit immediately soared.
Fengyun, who was standing on the edge of the pit, felt a wave of heat rushing towards him.
He began to retreat, a distance from the crater.
It's not that he can't stand the temperature from the pit.
A person becomes a totem warrior, especially after reaching the advanced level, the resistance to cold and heat has become very strong, although the temperature from the pit is relatively high, but it is completely within the tolerance range of the wind and clouds.
He retreated because of the unpleasant smell coming out of the pit under the heat of the torches.
The fishy, sour, and pungent smell of venom are all many times stronger than before, which is really unbearable.
Mulan Zhi was obviously more experienced than Fengyun, and she chose to retreat one step before him.
When the torches in the pit burned out, Fengyun walked back to the pit and looked inside.
Although the dark red liquid has not disappeared completely, it has become much less, and the main thing is that the smell they emit is much lighter, and the taste of venom is even lighter.
Mulanzhi also looked inside the pit and took something out of the back basket.
What she pulled out was something that looked like a pair of pliers.
Of course, it is not a forceps in the real sense, it should belong to the forelimbs of some kind of arthropod, which is commonly known as large forceps.
There's a rope attached to the back of it, and it's not known what it's for.
She tied it to a bamboo that was several feet long.
The bamboo was cut down in a bamboo forest not long ago when she and Fengyun were looking for something to start a fire.
After tying it up, she poked the bamboo pole into the pit.
When the large pincers at the tip of the bamboo pole approached the blood scorpion, Mulanozhi pulled the rope connected to it, and it closed.
It turned out that the rope was meant to control it.
As soon as the pliers were closed, the blood scorpion was clamped.
Mulanozhi flicked the bamboo pole lightly, and in the process released the rope, and the blood scorpion caught in the pincers flew out of the pit.
Next, Mulanozhi kept repeating this operation, and the blood scorpion kept flying around the pit.
Fengyun has already seen that it is definitely not the first time that Mulanozhi has done this, her movements are very skillful, smooth, and her speed is not slow, and the most important thing is that she rarely fails.
As time passed, Fengyun's brows gradually furrowed.
It's too slow.
Fengyun didn't think that Mulanozhi was lazy, but that her efficiency in collecting blood scorpions was too low.
Although the pliers are relatively wide, each time more than one blood scorpion is clamped, obviously it has been specially selected to improve the speed of collecting blood scorpions, but compared to the number of blood scorpions in the pit, this collection method is still too slow.
To make matters worse, this large pincer that collects blood scorpions. There is only one Mulanozhi, and he can't do it even if he wants to go up and help.
Of course, he could have asked for the tools. By taking over her work, and with his level of control over power, he will surely be able to master the methods of using it in a very short time.
However, due to the limitations of the tool itself, he was able to use it better than Mulanozhi, and the speed of collecting blood scorpions would not increase too much.
Fengyun began to think of a way, ready to find a more efficient way.
I thought about it for a while. His eyes lit up suddenly.
He looked around, then turned and walked over to a small cluster of low trees not far away.
Coming to the tree, he drew his knife. I chose some of the straighter ones, cut them off at the roots, and cut off the branches and leaves and outer skin.
In a short time, he had six sharpened sticks in front of him.
Four of them are about the same length. About a foot and a half in length. The fingers are thick, and the remaining two are thicker.
They are a little over two feet long and the thickness of a wrist.
Fengyun walked back with them.
"Yun, what are you doing with these things?"
When Fengyun came back, he happened to meet Mulanozhi resting.
Although the bamboo pole was not heavy, it was several feet long, and it had to be well controlled to reach the exact position of the blood scorpion she wanted to pick. It's really tiring.
In addition, Mulanzhi's physique is not very strong, and he has been working for a while. She's a little tired.
"I'm going to use them to collect blood scorpions. ”
Fengyun did not hide it, and there is no need to hide it.
"Just by them?"
Mulan Zhi looked at the six wooden sticks in Fengyun's hand, her face full of suspicion.
Fengyun is not angry.
Until he showed how to use them, Magnolia really couldn't think of any use they could have, because he used methods she had never seen before.
Fengyun didn't speak, but walked over to the back basket that Mulanozhi had left on the ground, and took out a strong rope from it.
He cut them in two with a knife.
When he came back, he sat down on the ground, took a thick stick, and made a gesture to tie it to his calf with a rope.
"Yun, what are you doing here?"
"You'll find out in a minute. ”
Fengyun quickly tied one.
He didn't stop there, picked up one of the remaining sticks and tied it to his other leg.
grabbed the remaining four thin wooden sticks in his hand, and gently supported the ground with his other hand, and the whole person bounced up directly.
Fengyun supported the ground with two wooden sticks tied to his legs and stood up.
The ground was muddy and soft, and his figure shook a little at first, but it quickly stabilized.
The stick wasn't long, and he had a strong control over his body and strength, so he quickly got used to it.
"Cloud, you're going to ...... To ......"
When Mulanozhi saw him, she vaguely realized what he wanted to do, but she couldn't be sure yet.
"Yes, I'm going into the pit. ”
Fengyun obviously guessed what Mulanzhi meant, and without waiting for her to speak, he gave an answer.
With that, he jumped to his feet and threw himself into the pit.
Fengyun stood firmly.
Although the dark red liquid spit out by the blood scorpion in the pit was a mess, in fact, the dark red liquid was only a relatively thin layer in the pit, otherwise Mulanozhi would not be able to see the blood scorpion.
Therefore, although the wooden stick tied to Fengyun's legs was relatively short, his feet did not touch the dark red liquid.
After Fengyun stood firm, he held two thin wooden sticks in one hand, bent down, and went to clamp the blood scorpion at the bottom of the pit.
Although it was difficult for him to bend over and keep his body stable in his current state, it was only for ordinary people and had no effect on him.
Clamping the blood scorpion, Fengyun flicked his wrist, and they flew to the outside of the pit.
Open the bow left and right, and the efficiency is doubled.
As he became more proficient in his movements, the movement of clamping the blood scorpion became faster.
The blood scorpion was thrown out of the pit like raindrops.
I don't know how many times faster than Magnoliaji.
Seeing the results of Fengyun, Mulanozhi couldn't sit still, stopped resting, picked up a long bamboo pole and joined the ranks of collecting blood scorpions.
But no better than not knowing, this comparison, Mulanozhi more clearly realized that compared with Fengyun, her efficiency is so low.
At the same time, she also admired Fengyun even more.
The method he adopted, the materials used were extremely simple, and the difficulty of control was not too great, why didn't she and the people of the Baicao tribe think of it. (To be continued.) )
