Chapter 2459 Salt Blood
...
Flying dragons eat raw meat. This mount is indeed extremely powerful, but it is relatively troublesome to fill its stomach.
Several officers bought some monster meat from the nearby magic market and started feeding them one by one.
And just after the Feilong and Eagle Kailongs were full, Tian Cheng of the investigation team brought back good news.
Tian Cheng is not only responsible for the investigation in the team, but also focuses on the investigation of monster substances. Whether it is feather scales, dander, saliva, and cystic worms dropped by monsters, Captain Tian can find them and conduct very detailed analysis on them. .
When they were in the northern Xinjiang, the monarch of the devil praying dog was constantly moving, fleeing, and evading in the vast northern wilderness. If there was no saliva left by Captain Tian to lock the monarch, it would be impossible for them to find this monarch in the vast northern border. come out.
This time they are looking for the dragon king ant's nest, and the most powerful ability of the dragon king ant is that their bodies are as transparent as sea water.
This kind of transparency is not a pure liquid. They will change according to the turbidity of the seawater. In addition, they are completely soft-bodied creatures, which can easily drill into the high-density rock body, and it is extremely difficult to find. big.
So Zhang Xiaohou thought he would spend some time on clues here in Luning County, but who knew that Tian Cheng had a very valuable piece of information.
"General Zhang, this is a kind of colored sea salt. I found it near the wetlands. The sun has been shining in the past few days, and the seawater left in some potholes has been dried into sea salt." Tian Cheng spread his palms.
Hua Yuezhu leaned over to take a look, but no matter how she looked, she couldn't see why.
"Is this sea salt special?" Zhang Xiaohou asked.
"Yes, this colored sea salt is formed because there is a salt flower stone somewhere where the waves are scoured in this direction. The flow of seawater continuously erodes this salt flower stone, making the seawater rich in this salt. After being exposed to the sun, it has become the sea salt of the seaweed blue." Tian Cheng explained.
"But what does this have to do with the Dragon King Ant we are looking for?" Hua Yuezhu asked.
"I've analyzed dragon king ants, and their body fluids have salinity many times higher than ordinary seawater, even exceeding the maximum solubility. I suspect that these body fluids are similar to the 'blood' of dragon king ants, which are used to provide their bodily functions." Tian Cheng said very seriously.
Tian Cheng is a very thoughtful soldier. After he made such a guess, he immediately caught a few dragon king ants in the sea. After several experiments, he found that dragon king ants could not survive in fresh water.
Water without salinity would be like losing oxygen to them, and would even die after ten minutes.
What is even more interesting is that when Tian Cheng threw some bricks, hard mud, and solid rocks into it and gnawed them on the dragon king ants, the "rocks" eaten by the dragon king ants all turned into the kind of high-salinity "blood". ”, so that the dragon king ants can move freely in fresh water and carry aggression!
From this, Tian Cheng further concluded that the dragon king ant body needs a huge amount of salt.
The ocean is the perfect breeding ground for them, because seawater is rich in salt.
But even so, the salt is still not high enough, they will look for those rocks, stones, concrete, steel as food, and finally turn it into the salt in the body!
"You can eat all the rock formations. Isn't this kind of creature invincible? The most important things in this world are stones and sea water." Hua Yuezhu said.
"So they must have some fatal weakness,
Or they eat selectively, not all. All in all, salt is the life characteristic of dragon king ants, and salt is their energy. We can go to the islands, peninsulas, and sea cliffs that are rich in salt flowers, and we should find a large number of dragon king ants. "Tian Cheng said very confidently.
The salinity of ordinary seawater is not enough to support the atrocities of dragon king ants, so in places with high salinity, there must be dragon king ants gathering, even nests.
"Then we can ask the locals to see if they know where there are salt flowers." Zhang Xiaohou nodded.
"I've already asked." Tian Cheng opened the map, it was the Bohai Sea and the coast of the Bohai Sea, and several places were drawn with red circles, "Seventy kilometers from here, there is a peninsula rich in salt and flower stones. There are also many villages and factories nearby.”
"Okay, let's go!"
...
This Yanhua Peninsula is actually almost cut off from the land. There is only a damp sea road between them. There are no bridges, and it is almost difficult for cars to pass.
As the sea level rises, the wet sea routes are often soaked by seawater, and this land is only revealed when the tide is low.
The peninsula is also very large. There are twenty to thirty villages scattered on it, and there are four or five factories of various sizes. The largest factory has more than a thousand people.
The location of Yanhua Peninsula has no national highways, highways, and railway tracks, and the dilapidated highways are even the end of the wetlands, so many people who don’t know will never think of the deserted island that is almost off the land. There are still so many people living there.
"It wasn't the locals who told me that I really couldn't discover this special peninsula." Tan Feng sighed with emotion.
The peninsula is relatively backward compared to most coastal areas and does not rely on large power plants for power supply, including a windmill on the island.
The white windmill is the most modern thing in the entire Yanhua Peninsula, and the mobile phone signal is very weak, let alone the network coverage.
However, the Yanhua Peninsula is not primitive. They have their own rules of operation. Although it is very inconvenient to communicate with the outside world, it is not completely closed, but relatively slow.
...
In order not to disturb the residents of Yanhua Peninsula, everyone deliberately waited until night to fly into Yanhua Peninsula, looking for a relatively hidden valley, leaving a few officers in charge of logistics to stay behind Feilong and Eagle Kailong, and others He followed Zhang Xiaohou to the peninsula.
"In fact, if a sea bridge can be built here, the scenery of this paradise is still very good." A young female officer said.
"When are you still thinking about developing tourism?"
"It smells so bad, I don't know if you smell it?" said an officer who was more sensitive to smells.
Zhang Xiaohou took a deep breath, and soon smelled a slightly pungent smell.
"Maybe it's the waste from the factory!"
Continue to go deeper, you can already see some sporadic lights.
They are relatively scattered, a few households are on the top of a hill, some are halfway up the mountain, others are on the side of the small road on the peninsula, and some are in more remote places, covered by some dense forests.
"It looks like a factory over there."
"Captain Tian, you take a team to the beach for analysis. Tan Feng, you take a team to the factory." Zhang Xiaohou said.
The two teams quickly split up, leaving only Zhang Xiaohou and Hua Yuezhu on the spot.
