Chapter 23: Sandworm trap
In the desert, there is a very wide open space.
Abu the parrot was digging a hole in the dirt.
Ye Chen flew from a distance and threw a large boulder on the ground.
"Abu, don't be lazy."
Abu narrowed his eyes, with a grieved expression on his face.
Seeing that he was digging up the soil and making his face gray, and seeing Ye Chen's unhurriedly transporting rock fragments, Abu cried out aggrievedly.
Of course, after two complaints, Abu obediently continued to execute the boss's order.
After a while, a huge pit was dug out.
The rock fragments collected by Ye Chen were as high as the hill.
Ye Chen used his claws to knock the rocks apart, and the rock fragmented in half was very beautiful.
The gray-yellow rock fragments on the outside, but the inside is colorful, red, black and purple...all kinds of unknown minerals.
Ye Chen grabbed a piece of pale yellow rock inside and breathed out flames.
It's just that he didn't induce the flame to the maximum, but controlled a small flame to melt the yellowish rock.
Abu stretched out his little head and looked at Ye Chen's movements curiously. With its little head, he wondered what Ye Chen was going to do.
After a while, the yellowish rock melted completely, turning into a muddy substance.
Feeling the high temperature in it, Ye Chen stretched out his claws.
Ye Chen, with the third level of flame resistance, didn't feel this.
Ye Chen stirred with his claws, the pale yellow mud substance was pushed aside, and it quickly cooled into a mass.
Refined into a piece of metal.
Snapped!
One paw went down, and the light yellow metal burst open. Ye Chen shook his head.
The hardness is too low.
This kind of light yellow metal can't even hold one of its own claws, so it's really not suitable for traps.
Next, Ye Chen used the same method to smelt five different metals.
There are four of them, which are not usable like light yellow metals. They are either too soft or too brittle and easy to break.
And among these five kinds, one kind made Ye Chen feel very satisfied.
This is a bright black metal. After solidification, white spots are formed on the surface of the metal, just like the stars in the night sky, which is very beautiful.
Ye Chen called this metal star iron.
The texture of Xingchen Iron is hard and tough, Ye Chen almost cracked his bird's claw when he dropped his claw.
"I found it, this is it. It's great to be used as a trap."
Ye Chen was very happy when he finally found the materials that he could use.
He told Abu to find this kind of rough stone of star iron.
The two birds were busy for a long time, seeing the number, dumbfounded.
After running for a large area, only to find less than ten pieces of star iron stone, Ye Chen had a headache.
According to this amount, the melted star iron is only enough to make a small iron basin, even if it is full of sandworms, it is not enough to eat.
At this time, Abu behind him called.
Cuckoo!
Ye Chen became alert and immediately fluttered to the sky.
According to Abu's guidance, Ye Chen came to a group of rocks in the canyon.
Abu cooed twice, motioning Ye Chen to look up.
On the front rock wall, there is a huge dark black rock deeply embedded in the rock wall.
What a big piece of star steel rough!
Ye Chen estimated that he could smelt a full cylinder of star iron.
Ye Chen was overjoyed, spreading his wings and flying up.
Abu jumped up and immediately grabbed Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was curious, and Abu flew directly to the side.
Ye Chen followed closely and found that Abu actually flew a big circle around the rock wall, and then stopped on a big rock not far from Star Steel.
"Abu, what are you taking me here for?"
Abu pointed to the front.
Ye Chen looked intently, and suddenly his feathers stood upright.
Below that piece of star steel rough, there is a very hidden figure whose patterns and rock walls merge into one, and it is impossible to see it unless you look closely.
This is a three-eyed strange snake coldly spitting a letter, hanging upside down on the top of the rock wall above.
Due to the long distance, Ye Chen did not perceive this second-order monster beast through the talent of danger perception for the first time.
If it weren't for Abu to perceive this three-eyed snake through the Sky Soul Eye, I am afraid that Ye Chen would be attacked by the three-eyed snake as soon as he flew on the rock wall.
"What a cunning snake."
This guy was so smart that he was actually hanging upside down on the rock wall. The monster was blocked by the big rock, and he couldn't see this guy anyway.
Once someone climbs up without opening their eyes, they have to have a face-to-face "snake kiss" with this three-eyed monster.
Ye Chen was suddenly worried.
The three-eyed strange snake was hanging there upside down motionless, as long as it was not driven away, there was no way to get the original star stone.
But how do you attract this guy's attention?
Ye Chen turned his head and looked at Abu who was aside.
Abu looked confused, why is it me again?
Abu looked helpless, but seeing Ye Chen's narrowed eyes, Abu Feather trembled and finally compromised.
quack! !
There was a crisp cry over the rock wall.
The three-eyed monster hanging upside down on the rock face narrowed its eyes.
It smelled of prey.
Abu finally landed on the top of the rock wall, very close to where the three-eyed monster was.
quack.
Abu moved his small steps carefully, walking back and forth on the top of the rock wall.
It seems slow and aimless, but it always keeps a fixed distance from the three-eyed monster.
After just such a long time, the three-eyed strange snake seemed a little impatient.
It spit out letters, seeming to be ready to attack.
The next moment, the script above his head was near, and it happened to enter the attack range of the three-eyed monster.
A gleam of light flashed in the cold eyes of the three-eyed monster.
With a scream, the three-eyed strange snake came up from under the rock wall.
However, it is indeed a hot flame to greet it.
Happiness!
The flames burned the three-eyed monster and rolled on the ground, making a crackling sound.
Before long, the three-eyed strange snake lay on the ground and died.
Ye Chen also got the Star Iron Stone as he wished.
The weight of this star iron rough stone exceeds the limit that two birds can carry.
Ye Chen could only use the bird's beak to hit the stone wall continuously, chiseling the star iron stone into small pieces.
It took a lot of effort for the two birds to be dismantled by this rough stone and transported to the place where the trap was arranged.
The flame heat of the flaming eagle is one of the best among birds.
And Ye Chen has a pure flame demon core.
This is the case, it took a short half an hour to burn this piece of star steel rough.
Of course, in order to reduce unnecessary waste, Ye Chen only uses a small fire to burn, if the firepower is fully turned on, it is impossible to continue to spit the flame for so long.
The melted star steel slurry is as thick as cement, viscous and hot.
Ye Chen stirred with bird's claws, feeling very difficult.
But soon the star steel slowly solidified.
Ye Chen reluctantly kneaded Xingchen Steel into a bottle shape with a small top and a big bottom.
However, due to the addition of a large piece of rough star, the storage bottle used to arrange the trap is very large, about the height of two people.
For this reason, the two birds had to dig deeper into the bunker.
At the end of the digging, the bird's claws were too tired to lift up.
"It's really personal work."
Cuckoo!
Abu also began to complain.
"Hold on a little longer and it will be finished soon."
In the end, the two birds finally buried the trap bottle, leaving only a small opening outside.
Ye Chen went around the sand pit, and the sand in the eight extending directions was hollowed out, so that eight small tunnels leading directly to the trap were dug in the sand.
Then put the two pieces of grilled pangolin meat leftover into the bottle.
That's it.
Just in case, Ye Chen lay on the ground, staring at the trap with sharp eagle eyes, and observed it for an hour.
At first, there was no response.
Gradually, in the eight small tunnels, yellow sandworms crawled out, following the aroma of barbecue, crawling into the bottle.
Within an hour, dozens of sandworms crawled into the bottle.
Ye Chen flew happily.
This speed is three or four times faster than looking for sand!
The most important thing is that you don't need to do it yourself at all, you can get the feeling of food while sitting. It's not too cool!
