Chapter 618 Strange Fragrance
Maybe it was threatened by the unknown monster on the top of the mountain. After entering the highest peak of the island, there were fewer monsters nearby. There was no big threat along the way. It didn’t take long. We are almost reaching the top of the mountain.
At this time, there was a fragrance floating around.
Hughington said: "Did you smell it? This is the fragrance I smelled before."
The fragrance is very faint, but very clear.
Alice smelled it and said: "There is really a light smell. It's so strange. What is it coming from?"
Bing Zhixie also felt a little strange. After a heavy rain, most of the smell in the air The smell of vegetation and animals will be washed away by the rain, but the scent is still very clear.
“Let’s look for it.”
The three people smelled the fragrance and searched for a while, and soon found the source of the fragrance in an open grassland without trees. The aroma actually came from a few pieces of feces.
Alice was surprised and surprised, and said with a smile: "It's so interesting, now I know that the feces in the world also smell good."
Hurlington said: "There is nothing surprising about this. Things that smell bad to humans may smell good to other creatures, and vice versa. The world is full of wonders, so don't make too much of a fuss."
Love Liz thought about it and thought it made sense. Those pesky flies like smelly poop.
Bing Zhixie found a branch, pulled off the leaves and pulled out the pieces of feces.
The excrement was very large. Each clump was two to three meters in diameter. It was brownish-yellow with a bit of green in color. It was soaked by the heavy rain and dispersed a lot, turning into a pot of thin soup.
Alice frowned and said: "Hey! Master, what are you doing? Even if the poop smells good, it is still poop. What's so fun about it."
Hullington also observed the excrement carefully and said to Alice: "That's not necessarily the case. Do you remember in the land of alchemists? Didn't you also use bat excrement 'luminous sand' to refine gold? And 'Ye Ming Sand' can also be used to make medicine, so it is very useful."
Bing Zhixie pulled at the branches and picked out some broken bones, plant fibers and small red particles from the feces.
"Huh." Hullington made a surprised sound: "So that's it."
Alice also squatted down to study the poop and asked: "What is this and that? , I know I don’t understand this, can you please make it clearer?”
Hughington pointed at the feces and said: “These piles of feces are not naturally fragrant. I saw a few undigested grass blades. Is it? The fragrance comes from them.”
Alice heard that a plant had been eaten, but it still smelled good when it was pulled out. She couldn't help but be very curious and asked: "What kind of plant is this? There is such a thing in the world."
Bingzhi Evil way: "This is not a plant, but the corpse of a kind of monster named Hemande Daoxiang Little Demon."
"Yes." Hughington nodded. Said: "I thought this smell was a bit strange before, but it felt a little familiar in my heart. It turned out that it was eaten into the stomach and pulled out by the monster, and its scent was mixed with other smells and changed."
Alice said: "Hai...what kind of fragrant little demon is Haimande?"
"Hemande Daoxiang little demon."
"Hmm." Alice asked: "What does this Hemande Daoxiang little demon look like? It has leaves on its body. Is it plant type?"
Hughington said: "In In the "Warcraft Illustrated Book", it belongs to the plant family, looks like straw, and mainly lives in large areas. The details of the tropical and subtropical areas in southern China are not clear. You will know if you have a chance to see it in the future, or if you go back and read the "Warcraft Manual". The appearance of Xiang Xiaoyao is somewhat interesting.
Bingzhixie said as if talking to himself: "Strange."
"What's weird, Master, what's weird?" Alice asked.
Bingzhixie said: "It seems that the unknown monster we are looking for is injured or sick." "Hey, how do you know?" Now Hullington was also surprised, looking at the feces on the ground and said: "You said this Is it that guy’s feces?”
Bing Zhixie said: “It’s very possible that such a large pile of feces was obviously not left by a little monster. It must be a human. Guys, this is very similar to what the villagers said. If it is left by other large monsters, it is a bit unlikely. You think about it, since we climbed to the highest mountain, we have basically not encountered any decent monsters on the mountain. If there was such a big monster, it should have been killed or driven away long ago."
Hughington nodded repeatedly after hearing Bing Zhixie's analysis.
Alice said: "But, how do you know it is injured or sick?"
"This is your master's inference." Hullington said: "The Hemande Daoxiang little demon has high medicinal value. It can not only treat internal and external injuries, but also has certain pain relief and disease treatment effects."< br>
Bing Zhixie used a branch to pull out those small red pellets Li said: "And what do you think this is?"
Hughington took a closer look: "This...this seems to be..."
Bingzhixie said: "It's a shell snail The seeds and cores of the fir tree are commonly used as anesthetics. , especially in mercenaries and hospitals in the south, Kaluo antidote is often used. Although some monsters in the world also feed on special or poisonous things, I think it is more likely to be due to injury or poison. You only eat these things when you are sick, maybe it comes to an island It’s not accidental that Shang Ba refused to leave. He came here to recuperate from his injuries.”
Alice thought that this was even more serious. The unknown monsters on the mountain were injured or sick, and they were able to destroy Xiaomo Village. The whole village is in such a catastrophic state. If only there were no injuries or diseases, it would be worse.
Bing Zhixie put down the stirring stick and stood up and said: "But these are all my personal guesses. Let's go to the mountain to talk about whether this is the case. It's getting dark now. Don't delay for too long. I still want to Can we go back to the village to rest tonight?"
"Yes."
The three of them set off on the road again and climbed to the top of the mountain in about ten minutes.
The top of the mountain is very large, with woods and an open land. There are many rocks nearby, some big and some small, some high and some low. Among them is a very big rock, like a mountain on a mountain. On the face of the reef mountain, with the abyss behind it, there is a large, open cave at the bottom. The width and height of the cave entrance are about twenty meters. This should be what the villagers call the lair of the unknown monster.
Although the entrance of the cave is wide, it is already dark now, and the reef at the front of the cave is protruding, blocking the light. It is not clear how deep the cave is, and only a dark patch can be seen. But I guess the cave won't be very deep, because there is a cliff behind the reef mountain, which is a bay on Xiaomo Island.
When we arrived here, the scent of Hemande Daoxiang little demon became even stronger. Apparently there were a lot of feces left by unknown monsters nearby. The three cats in the woods did not come forward easily, but discussed it for a while first.
While eating the fruit he picked, Hullington asked: "Hey, little old man, do you have any way to deal with this monster?"
Of course the little old man refers to Bingzhi. Damn, Bing Zhixie has white hair and is very scheming, like a cunning old man. He just gave him this nickname on a whim.
Alice was dissatisfied with him calling her master this way and gave him a beating.
Bing Zhixie didn't pay much attention, but looked at Alice and asked, "What can you do?"
"Me? I..." Alice thought for a moment, looked at the surrounding environment and said: "The open space in front is very large, which is very convenient for besieging a monster. But the people in the village said that it is huge and can fly. In the open area We may suffer a lot from fighting it. It may be better to lure it out and fight guerrillas with it in the woods. Moreover, it can fly, and long-distance magic and bow and arrow attacks will become the main means of attack. cover, It will feel safer."
Hughington shook his head and said: "I don't think it's good to hide in the woods. We don't know what this magic is good at and what it's not good at. It's just from the villagers and the people. According to some information from Feren and Ace, although it had just rained recently, if the monster set fire to us, we would be in an unfavorable situation if we hid in the woods. It is not connected to the large forest at the bottom of the mountain, and the unknown monster is huge. I think it should be able to easily level a small forest. Another point is that if there are any other monsters in the woods that are provoked while we are avoiding it. , that would be even more troublesome. Although there are fewer magical beasts nearby, this possibility is unlikely, but it is not completely impossible."
Alice saw that Hullington was more considerate and overcame. He felt a little unhappy and said: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Hughington said: "I think this monster is huge, so we should just block the entrance of the hole and hit it. Make it huge. The advantages and the ability to fly are completely unable to be used.”
Alice and Bing Zhixie were moved by each other. This is a very good idea. It not only uses their strengths and circumvents their weaknesses, but also limits the other party’s advantages. .
Bing Zhixie looked at the rocky mountain. The mountain was quite huge. The cave about twenty meters wide only accounted for less than one-tenth of the mountain. Moreover, the rocks and rocks on the mountain were intertwined together very strongly. To be able to Trapping unknown monsters in a cave to fight them is indeed the best choice.
Alice has been a little proud recently, but she still admires others for coming up with better solutions. She couldn't help but ask: "Can it be done? The cave is so big, can the two of us block the entrance? Of course my master is fine, but I think he might not be able to take action."
Hughington pondered for a moment and said nothing. This is indeed a difficulty. If the unknown monster cannot be forced into the cave, this tactic cannot be completed...
