[016] Kunlun eel
"Brother Xiao!"
Sa saw that Xiao was safe and was so safe that he rushed into Xiao's arms as he approached.
The scene just now scared her heart almost jumped out. It was so thrilling and terrifying.
If the owl did not lie down in time, he might have fallen into the mouth of the strange fish and become the food for the strange fish.
Energy scales can indeed protect them, but defense is at its limit.
This is like Gungumier's scale armor. The members of the slave trade team tried their best and could not stop the lion, ant, and bee.
The monster fish is so big, the bite force must be very terrifying. So he doesn't think that energy scales can defend against the bite of the monster fish.
Xiao patted So on the back and comforted him, "Okay, I'm fine. It was all as I expected just now, and it wasn't that dangerous."
"I'm scared to death if you don't take risks like this next time." So said in a low voice against Xiao's shoulder.
Xiao naturally would not object, and agreed and said, "Well, I will tell you first in the future. I am sure that there will be no problem."
Ah Cheng, who was beside the two, was still trembling with his legs. When he saw them suddenly feeling full in their abdomen, he hiccupped. So he reacted when he heard the sound and quickly pushed away the owl, and turned around with a flushed face.
I really scared her just now.
That's why she couldn't help but pounce on Xiao. Now she realized that there was someone next to her, and she was shy about finding a crack to get in.
"Little brother, that monster..." Ah Cheng looked at Xiao and couldn't help but want to ask, but he couldn't ask.
Mainly I am sorry, Xiao is younger than him, and such a thrilling scene just now happened. When asked if Xiao could deal with the monster, he felt like he was pushing Xiao to die.
Xiao smiled and said, "I can deal with that strange fish, but some things need you to provide, and you don't need to get close to Shuiyan Lake in the next seven days!"
"You... can you really solve the monsters in the lake?" Ah Cheng asked excitedly with wide eyes.
Xiao Zi said confidently: "I won't joke about my life. Let's go back to the village first. If you want to deal with this strange fish, you have to prepare a lot of things."
The three of them returned to the village and went to the village chief again. When the village chief learned that the owl could solve the monster, he was excited to ask what he needed and could use it as long as there was in the village.
The owl naturally would not be polite, so he proposed many ingredients, most of which were relatively ordinary ingredients. There were several rare ingredients, although there were not in the village, but someone knew where to find them.
After a while of busyness, Xiao and So came to an empty house under the guidance of Acheng to stay in a temporary residence. After all, the materials could not be collected for a while. Xiao and So had not had a rest for a while, so they really needed a good rest.
After Acheng left, Xiao and So lay on their own beds. So suddenly said, "Brother Xiao, can that monster make a dish?"
"Well, that's the Kunwheel eel." Xiao closed his eyes and replied directly.
He could be sure that no one eavesdropped around and continued: "Kunhuan eel is a triad amphibian in the sea, land and air. He lived in the water when he was young, walked on land when he was an adult, and finally reproduced in the air. In most cases, Kunhuan eels will lay eggs in the sea, but occasionally they will leak into the passing lake water when they flew to the sea. This is the case in Kunhuan eels in the lagoon."
"There are also such monsters." So was amazed when he heard this.
Xiao smiled and said, "The Kunwheel eel in the water is similar to an eel. When it comes to adulthood, the body will curl into a ball, similar to a wheel, and needs to move on the ground by rolling. Finally, its body will slowly grow horizontally and become a monster similar to a whale, but it can fly in the air. According to the "Dashi Yijing", this is because its body density is very low, lower than air."
"What's the benefit of eating it?" So asked.
Now she is used to being able to become stronger when eating, so the first thing she thinks about is what abilities can she get from eating Kunhee eel or whether she can become stronger.
Xiao replied: "Eating the Kun-wheel eel in different forms can obtain different abilities. Eating the eel into a vegetable can make things smaller. Eating the wheel into a vegetable can make you run thousands of miles a day without getting tired. Eating the Kun-shaped eel can adjust the density of your body."
"Density?" So just now, he didn't understand what density was mentioned by Xiao.
Xiao didn't know how to explain it, so he thought for a while and said, "Simply put, you can float up and even fly after eating Kun."
"It would be great if I could fly." So longed for it.
Xiao said helplessly: "It's a pity that we encountered a young Kunhee eel. If it was an adult Kunhee eel... probably..."
Suddenly, he let out a series of laughter, making So confused.
She asked unhappily: "Brother Xiao, why are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing, I just thought that we met the Kunwheel eel flying in the air." Xiao explained with a smile.
So said inexplicably: "What's so funny?"
"Do you think we have gone far along the way?" Xiao asked back.
So nodded and said, "After walking for so many days, of course it's far."
"Do you think the land we have walked through is big?" Xiao continued.
So nodded and said, "Of course it's big."
They walked through two forests, how could it be small?
"When the Kunwheel eel can fly, the head alone is longer and larger than the road we have walked now!" Xiao said with a smile.
So was stunned and could no longer imagine how big the Kunwheel eel was.
Although the Kunhee eel that emerges from Shuiyan Lake is already very large, the Kunhee eel described by the owl is too big.
"It's really that big?" So asked hesitantly.
Xiao nodded and said, "It's indeed that big, but Kunhee eels also have natural enemies, so there are not many. Kunhee eels that can grow so big are actually very rare.
Moreover, Kunhee is a nocturnal animal when adults, and it will only come out to move at night and often hibernates at the highest point of the sky during the day, so it is difficult for humans to see the traces of Kunhee."
At night, even if the Kunhee eel flies by the city where humans live, humans can only feel the wind brought by the Kunhee eel at most, and it is basically impossible to see the Kunhee eel body.
Otherwise, with the nature of human beings who love and worship huge creatures, strange beliefs such as the "Sky God Cult" and the "Sky God" have long been born.
"It's so big, how long does it take to cook it?" So murmured to himself with a dull look after hearing Xiao's words.
Xiao was speechless. Is this a question of how long it took?
If you really encounter the third form of Kunhee, the other party can swallow them into their stomachs with just one breath. It’s hard to say who eats them.
Next, the two stopped talking, and gradually the sound of breathing came. Xiao closed his eyes and did not really fall asleep, but closed his eyes to rest.
This village is not completely credible. He can't really fall asleep. What if someone comes in quietly and steals things or treats ill-treated. Three days pass quietly.
The village was busy and finally got all the materials needed by the owl.
Xiao asked a few young men to come to Shuiyan Lake with materials, and then he sent everyone away, leaving only So to help.
"Brother Xiao, how are you going to deal with Kunlun eel?" So squatted on the ground to help cut the fruit, asking while cutting.
The owl peeled off the hard crust of a fruit and replied, "Prepare to make a dish for Kunlun eel."
"Cooking?" So said in a foreign language.
She thought that Xiao was preparing to make poison, and directly put it in the water to poison Kunlun eels, then boil the antidote and put it into the lake water, and finally salvage the corpse of Kunlun eels.
This is also the villagers' thoughts, after all, this speculation is reasonable.
Xiao smiled and said, "Do you know why the first form of Kunwheel eel can provide the ability to make items smaller?"
"Why?" So asked directly without guessing.
While processing the ingredients, Xiao replied: "Because the first form of Kunhee eel has actually begun to accumulate energy for the second form. Although the second form of Kunhee eel can also eat, it is very low in feeding because it is on land and the shape is similar to a wheel, so the feeding efficiency is very low. If the first form does not reserve enough energy, Kunhee eel may starve to death in the second form."
"What does this have to do with making the item smaller?" So asked in confusion.
The owl put the fruit into a big pot and continued: "Precisely because of the need to reserve energy for the second form, the first form of Kunhee eel has the ability to compress items and reduce them. It will eat a lot and store food in the stomach. They will eat all the creatures that can be hunted in greed, so their stomachs are like compressed bombs!"
"What is fried egg?" So asked.
Xiao was speechless and didn't know how to explain it for a while.
Finally, he finally understood the meaning of the 'bomb', and So guessed: "So Brother Xiao, are you going to invalidate its compression ability?"
"Yes, when it eats the food I made, and these foods enter its stomach, all the food stored in its stomach will return to its original size. A large amount of food will directly burst its stomach and also burst it!" Owl nodded.
There is one bad thing about doing this, that is, the flesh of the Kunhee eel will become very broken, but Xiao has no better way. After all, the Kunhee eel is too big. With his current combat power with So, he has no chance of winning against the Kunhee eel.
Therefore, he could only take advantage of the tricks and use this method to solve the Kunwheel eel.
He put a large amount of ingredients into the pot, and then he used flint to light firewood and poured two buckets of precious water into the pot.
Steam began to emerge from the pot for a moment, and a scent wafted out of the pot.
So looked at the water gradually bubbling in the pot and said greedily: "It smells so good."
"You can try it when it's done." Xiao said with a smile.
So said in surprise: "Can we eat too?"
"Of course, this is actually a dish that helps digestion. Although it is particularly fatal to Kunhee, it is actually a good dish." Xiao nodded and replied.
Eating this dish frequently can also increase diners' digestive ability, but neither Xiao nor Sa needs to enhance digestive ability, so Xiao did not express this function.
After all, when the two of them walk outside, they occasionally sleep in the open and eat less. It is not strange.
