Chapter 103: Geothermal well
According to the mission prompt, the golden-backed ladybug is the most prolific insect known on the Valoran continent. Don’t be surprised why there is such detailed information. In fact, the scientific system on the Valoran continent is far more complete than imagined. In Hex
Technology leads the world, and the scientists in this world understand magic and runes beyond the imagination of the screeners.
Golden-backed ladybugs are mainly distributed on the north side of the Northern Iron Ridge Mountains and thrive in places with cold climates. Although these organisms are small, they can withstand extremely low temperatures. This is because their wings are naturally shaped
The existence of text, yes! It’s those golden light spots.
The body is small and soft, about the size of a mung bean. There is a tubular protrusion on the abdomen. This is the abdominal tube of the golden-backed ladybug, and it is also its excretory organ. This pair of abdominal tubes can eliminate the rapidly hardening defensive liquid, whose composition is unknown. But it can
When they are in danger, they quickly turn themselves into crystals, and the defensive "liquid" will automatically soften after two days. This state of suspended animation gives Heimerdinger a deep headache, which is very detrimental to the study of cold-resistant runes.
This organism sucks the juice of small-leaf grass, which not only hinders the growth of small-leaf grass and causes leaf diseases. It can also spread viruses and cause deformation of buds, leaves, and buds of other crops.
When golden-backed ladybugs are too densely packed on a plant, they will look for a host.[
However, golden-backed ladybugs can emit a unique fragrance that attracts small rodents and amputated insects. Small-leaf grass often coexists with snake roots and thorns, thus forming a small ecological cycle system.
Wang Hu scratched his head, his temples beating wildly. This little thing was very timid. It turned into a crystal with a little bang, and the defensive liquid quickly wrapped it up. It became like an amber fossil.
.In normal times, Wang Hu might be interested in this kind of crystal, and it would be a good idea to play with it.
But now this beautiful thing is giving him a huge headache.
He picked up a handful of small-leaf grass, and those thick leaves were full of water. The blue silk thread in the middle of the leaves was the vascular channel that transported nutrients through the leaves. Through the synthesis of chlorophyll, a kind of juice containing sugar was synthesized. The golden-backed ladle
What the insects like most is this sweet and greasy water. Their mouthparts penetrate into the veins and suck greedily.
Wang Hu squeezed hard, and a large amount of juice suddenly oozed out from his fingers, and sprinkled on the leaves and turned into "dew" drops. The golden-backed ladybugs lying on the leaves seemed like wretched uncles who smelled the girl's body fragrance, and they started to cry.
It stopped sucking and shook its head while looking at the large dewdrops on the leaves. A golden-backed ladybug couldn't stand the temptation. It raised its head tentatively and inserted its mouthparts into the dewdrops fiercely.
Take a breath.
The almost transparent abdomen immediately swelled, and the mouthparts were 10,000 times slender than hair. Even if it lasted a whole day, it would not suck as much as this one. The golden-backed ladybug was immediately pushed up on all fours from the leaf.
Falling down, people can't help but think of a well-fed cat, fluttering its wings a few times and falling asleep.
There is a way! Wang Hu was overjoyed and carefully collected the well-fed golden cup ladybug into his personal space. After only half an hour, the little thing would excrete feces.
However, the amount required for manure odor is 5g. Looking at the mung bean-sized golden-backed ladybugs, I estimate that it would take forty or fifty to reach such a weight.
In fact, the key to the excrement smell formula given by Jinx lies not in the golden-backed ladybug, but in the snake root and thorns. Seeing that half of the small park was overturned, Wang Hu could only smile helplessly. Jinx, this little girl
She is born to be a destroyer. As long as she can make others feel uncomfortable, she is willing to join in to cause trouble.
You can imagine how the residents felt when they woke up the next day and saw their gardens in a mess.
After Wang Hu collected the golden-backed ladybugs, the one he caught earlier had already begun to excrete feces the size of a pinhead. Such an inconspicuous thing made Wang Hu's whole body exude a disgusting stench. This smell was even continuous.
Personal space cannot be isolated. You must know that personal space is in another plane entirely, relying on the time gap formed by tearing the space. It can preserve the freshness of items for a long time. Except for living people, fresh "milk" can be kept in it for a year.
They won't go bad.
But now, Wang Hu has been told not to allow strangers to enter, which is like seeing a ghost!
Jinx's timing was very good. By the time the mission was in progress, it was only around three or four in the morning. The entire Piltover was still asleep, with only the light emitted by the ever-lasting starlight rods on the street.
The only people moving on the deserted street were their group of saboteurs, which seemed particularly lonely on this deserted winter night.
On the way, he happened to meet the screeners from Otto and Jonathan's team.
Probably because Wang Hu had a fierce fight with Hound Dog before, leaving the people in the Steam Company in disgrace. Coupled with his crazy and fierce fighting style, the people in these two teams had a slightly friendlier attitude towards him.
, which not only maintains a distance, but also avoids being attacked by surprise.
Now that he had met him, Wang Hu would naturally not give up the opportunity to collect intelligence. He asked one of the members of the Ultra team where to find the Silin Loach, and the man shook his head and said he didn't know. At this time, Jonathan's assassin suddenly said, "Look
What’s that thing for?”
Wang Hu looked at him. The man's face was hidden in the darkness. Strangely, the light from the starlight rod seemed to go around him. It seemed that there was a thick curtain, making it impossible to see clearly. Wang Hu
I also noticed that this guy's feet seemed to be floating about five centimeters on the ground like a puff of smoke, and his figure was constantly twisting and shaking slightly.
It's like being caught in a burst of solidified smoke, giving people a particularly strange and elusive feeling.
The two men were brought together entirely because of the sacks in their hands, and the blood that continued to seep out of the sacks showed that Jinx's mischief was in more ways than one.[
"It seems that Jinx is also very interested in blood."
The assassin's name was Batum, and his voice was low and powerful. He said word by word, "Kill the hens in the chicken coop that can lay eggs, hang the bodies on the flagpole in the square, and scatter the entrails across the city.
The river we pass through will ensure that the water source of Pi City is polluted."
Wang Hu shrugged and said sympathetically, "It's disgusting. Compared with the smell of the chicken coop, it's not easy to ask. I'm looking for the Silin Loach."
Of these three people, two were stained with chicken manure, and one had the smell of manure. The weird smell all over their bodies made their noses malfunction. The eldest brother should not laugh at the second brother. Batum coughed a few times in embarrassment.
"Information on Xilin Loach costs 500 overclocking points, and the capture method costs 200 overclocking points. Other questions...depend on the difficulty, starting at 150 overclocking points...you can sign an overclocking contract."
Wang Hu laughed a few times. Batum's asking price was obviously high. This kind of asking price is based on the degree of information asymmetry. Who knows Piltover so well, except for the screeners who have received exclusive tasks?
Research. And it can be determined from Batum's words that this guy must have known his mission in advance.
How did he learn that the exclusive mission was to be completed in Piltover? Just like the Sphinx, he asked to leave immediately as soon as he received the mission. There was no time to collect intelligence. This Batum was not simple.
In other words, Jonathan’s team is very deep!
"Okay!" Wang Hu agreed simply, "There is no need to sign a contract, there is no need to waste universal points." The overclocking contract is not cheap, and he painfully transferred 700 overclocking points from his account. His account was about to be cleared immediately.
, the feeling of being poor is really unpleasant.
The Western Loach is called "gold in water" and is not common in Piltover. It is only found in underground geothermal wells. The high temperature all year round allows these creatures to breed and inhabit. Winter is the season when the Western Loach is active. After catching the common loach
It can be eaten raw or dried. The Xilin loach is special and only exists in the woods west of Pi City, where there are several geothermal wells that erupt all year round.
Because the temperature of those geothermal wells was too high and contained a large amount of unstable magic elements, they had no value for processing and utilization. Therefore, they have been abandoned since they were drilled. As a result, the Xilin Loach multiplied more and more, but this kind of
The only bad thing about the creatures is that the feces smell extremely bad. Another important reason why the people of Piltover gave up using those geothermal wells is that no one can stand the stench emitted by the geothermal wells.
Due to the harsh living environment, the Xilin loach is very small, only three or four inches long. It has a round body shape and a short body. There are white scales under the skin, and its color is sickly pale. It is stained all over its body.
It is full of its own mucus, so it is very slippery. It is very difficult to catch, but it can be caught by fishing with the dry branches of the Dracaena tree.
In addition, Wang Hu actually learned that the other types of feces can be purchased on the black market in Piltover, and the prices are so cheap that they seem to be free of charge.
However, the location of the black market is difficult to find. Even if Batum collects a lot of information, he cannot determine the specific coordinates of the black market. He only knows that they may exist in the open space near the Crystal Research Institute and the Pioneer Technology Factory.
But what Wang Hu lacks most now is time. He can only give priority to collecting the feces of the Xilin Loach before proceeding to the next step. After bidding farewell to Batum and rushing to the habitat of the Xilin Loach as quickly as possible, Wang Hu dives into the ground like hot water.
In the well, I found that it was almost unsuitable for any living thing to live.
The water temperature was at least over 200 degrees Celsius. Even if he put on an obsidian shield, he could not block the scalding temperature. He had no choice but to endure the consequences of being burned and peeling off his skin and dive in quickly.
But what surprised him was that there were large freshwater creatures active in the high temperature. These biomes, boiling water splashes and white scale together formed a strange picture.
A white crab is crawling on a reef made of aggregated scale. The scale reef alone is more than one meter high. It can be seen that the water contains a large amount of calcium and other substances. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to
