Sand time royal jelly is a translucent colloid substance that accumulates in the gland sac after the sand time worm swallows the timeline.
Because this substance is the only food of the Sand Time Mother, hence its name.
In traditional magic potion science, royal jelly is a kind of life-extending potion. Because of its mild characteristics and unique medicinal effects, it is sought after by many wizards and regarded as a holy product.
Catching swarms of sandworms once became the most popular pastime in the wizarding world - this activity was even included in the official schedule of the International Hunting League, which is known as training wizards' ability to discover and observe!
Long-term uncontrolled hunting has resulted in fewer and fewer wild sandocks that can produce royal sandstone jelly. The Silent Forest of Phuket Island has gradually become the only place in the magical world where wild sandstones are publicly found.
So much so that when high-level wizards now need to use Sand Time Royal Jelly in experiments, they need to hire high-level hunting teams at a high price to search for and collect it deep in the Silent Forest.
Therefore, when the young wizards heard that the culprits causing harm to the school were a group of sand bugs, their first reaction was not to crush these scary little bugs, but to catch two to open their eyes.
After all, not everyone has the opportunity to see a living Sand Toki Worm.
In this era when magic power is low and strange beasts are hiding, many legendary creatures have become pictures in the books in the Shushan Library. Being able to see the living sand time bugs in school is a great opportunity for many young wizards.
Something worth bragging about when facing relatives during winter and summer vacations.
But wizards are rational creatures after all.
When the curiosity in my heart gradually fades, the care hidden in my nature begins to emerge.
Sunatoki's body, Sunatoki's lair, the unhatched eggs in Sunatoki's lair, and even some small parts of Sunatoki's mother have become the targets of young wizards - no wizard will refuse this extremely rare thing
experimental materials.
Of course, the only thing that tops the list of all demands is sand and royal jelly.
Because it is not only a cherished experimental material, but also a precious life-extending potion. Under certain conditions, Shashi Royal Jelly is even equivalent to the existence of a great wizard - from this perspective, no matter how high this level is,
The status of a 'colloidal substance' cannot be overstated.
Zheng Qing was very lucky to get a small bottle of Shashi Royal Jelly.
He was lucky because less than ten of the hundreds of patrols who participated in the search for the Sand Time Bug Nest received this reward. If the old man Verne hadn't asked him to help look after the old hunting dog May, he wouldn't have had the chance.
When the old hunting dog was defecating, he saw a "big snail" hidden among the trees, only the size of a fist, like a piece of gravel.
When the capture was over and the old school guard announced the reward on the spot, even though Zheng Qing was so tired that he almost fell asleep, he could still clearly feel the smell of envy, jealousy, longing and many other emotions in the air.
Although everyone who participated in the search was rewarded with two credits, no reward could compare to that small bottle of Sand Time Royal Jelly.
Many senior students offered Zheng Qing a high purchase price on the spot.
From jade coins to credits, to precious magic books, to cherished alchemy materials, there are even people who are willing to exchange complete spells for high-level magic spells!
Zheng Qing's mouth drooled all over the floor after hearing this.
If he didn't have too many acquaintances, he would definitely hug the laps of these seniors and cry for charity.
Fortunately, although he was a little sleepy, he did not lose his head. After thinking over and over again, he finally rejected these seemingly "irresistible conditions."
After all, he still has a group of dying elves to survive.
The Yu Yuanling Powder that Dr. Duzem had previously prepared was becoming less and less effective. Although the elves still looked lively, Zheng Qing had noticed disturbing trends in the data from their daily physical examinations.
So when faced with the purchase ideas of two classmates in the class, the young public-sponsored student could only express his helplessness.
"Sorry," Zheng Qing smiled apologetically, glanced at Downton and Matthew, pointed at the elves sitting in a row on the edge of the blackboard, squeezed his eyes, and made a look like he was about to cry without tears.
: "Although I really want to exchange it for jade coins...but this is a life-saving thing and there is no way to sell it."
Downton suddenly understood, nodded, and patted Zheng Qing's shoulder comfortingly.
Matthew also closed his mouth and turned his eyes out the window again.
Since the beginning of the school year, the story of the elves has gradually become known to many people due to the promotion of a certain bad senior student, especially in Astronomy Class 08-1, where Zheng Qing is located. These pitiful little things have attracted the attention of girls.
.
Therefore, when he heard that Zheng Qing was going to use those sandy royal jelly to prolong the lives of the elves, even Li Meng, who had always been critical of him, nodded repeatedly, showing a childish expression.
"That's right!" The little girl grabbed Zheng Qing's collar in an old-fashioned way, straightened the collar that she had just ruffled, and praised: "Men, you have to be responsible!"
Zheng Qing immediately couldn't laugh or cry.
Fatty Xin stood not far behind Li Meng, winking, grinning and sticking out his tongue, looking strange.
The crowd suddenly burst into cheerful laughter.
Li Meng turned her head suspiciously and saw Fatty Xin nodding his head repeatedly with a serious expression, as if to express his agreement with what she just said.
Jiang Yu had the advantage of raising a question at this moment, which ended the somewhat chaotic scene at this moment.
"Is the insect nest really empty?" The female squad leader flipped a blue paper crane between her fingers and said with a smile: "I heard that after you captured the mother of sand and time, many lazy insects escaped because of breaking the insect nest.
,is that true?"
Zheng Qing glanced at the blue paper crane with some confusion, scratched his head, and first denied the accusation.
"There are no lazy bugs in the Sand Toki insect nest, only insect eggs... This is common sense."
"As for the statement that there are many slackers in the school, I think it is because the school working committee has not officially issued the notice, so the student union had some misunderstandings when conveying the news."
"According to the professors' estimation, this group of people stayed in the school for at least a month."
"Under normal circumstances, it only takes twenty-one days for Sha Shi to transform from egg to larvae and finally mature. According to the Wizard of the Laboratory Department, the insect nest we found showed signs of repeated hatching... This means that the insect swarm
It has undergone extensive breeding in recent times.”
"The number of adults and eggs ultimately captured in the insect nest was far lower than the calculated scale."
"This means that there is a large group of lazy insects that have been scattered on the campus by the adults, parasitizing other magical creatures - including us wizards - and using other creatures' time to complete the final transformation of these larvae."
After saying this, Zheng Qing couldn't help but touch his earlobe.
Ever since he knew that slackers liked to hide behind the wizard's ears, he especially liked this action.
Perhaps his actions reminded other students, many of whom started scratching their heads and pulling each other's hair in a hurry, trying to find those nasty thieves who stole time on themselves.
"Don't be nervous," Zheng Qing raised his voice and comforted: "According to the plan of the school working committee, the school will make unified arrangements this week to help us fight insects... No one will be hurt."
"However, there are rumors in the school that a patrol member was attacked by Sha Shi, and half of his face was withered and black." Li Meng bit her finger and wrinkled her face: "I don't want to turn black."
"You also said it was a rumor." Zheng Qing sighed, pushed the little girl behind the desk, raised his voice slightly, and explained to the others: "Someone in the patrol team has a black face because he accidentally fell into a puddle.
He was bitten by a fish woman... and was infected with semi-bacteria poison. People at the school hospital said that as long as he stayed indoors and ate more daikon, his face would be back to its original appearance in less than a week."
This explanation made many people breathe a sigh of relief.
"The teacher is here..." The little stick figure behind the classroom door suddenly howled at the top of his lungs.
Ever since the Jamaican named Daly III taught the new students how to draw simple figures, these little people drawn with lines have become much more peaceful recently, and they have not lied about military information for a long time.
So the crowd cheered and dispersed quickly, running to their respective positions.
Soon, the classroom door opened with a bang.
Lao Yao's smooth and smooth back appeared in everyone's sight.
