The huge snail stretched its head in front of Lu Jing, first sucked up all the water in the water tank, and then swept away the ten wheat cakes on the ground.
Although the ten wheat cakes stacked together weighed a lot, they were still insignificant compared to the huge body of the snail. It was probably not enough to fit between the latter's teeth.
But in any case, Lu Jing has established a preliminary friendly relationship with the other party.
After the tooth ceremony, the snail seemed to have relaxed its vigilance and slowly crawled out of the ground.
Its head already looked very big, and its total length was even more astonishing. It was estimated to be more than fifteen feet tall. The shell on its back was about the same size as the foot shop where Lu Jing and the others lived in Ulan City before.
And it looked extremely hard. Lu Jing even found some shells and fish fossils on it.
And these evidences also seem to indicate that there was indeed water where the snail lived before. .
Lu Jing tried to take two steps forward while observing the snail's reaction, and saw that the latter showed no anger or warning.
Then he stretched out a hand and touched the thick shell on its back.
His movements were as gentle as possible, and there were no other follow-up movements. He quickly retracted it, and then took out five more wheat cakes from his sleeves.
This time Lu Jing took the wheat cake in his hand and handed it directly to the snail.
And the snail was not polite, opened its mouth again and swallowed the five wheat cakes in one gulp.
Although Yan Yun didn't use animal control skills very much, he could still tell that Lu Jing was trying to find a way to establish some kind of communication with the snail.
So far, his progress is quite smooth.
After spending about thirty wheat cakes, Lu Jing successfully asked the snail to help him move a large stone not far away.
This made him feel that the time was almost ripe.
So Lu Jing took out twenty pancakes at once, and then made beads and exchange gestures to the snail.
But this time the snail was motionless, as if it was suddenly stuck.
Seeing this, Lu Jing took out twenty more pancakes and piled them all together.
There are a total of forty pancakes, which looks quite visually impressive.
Encouraged by the big cake, the snail finally started to move, crawled about twenty feet away, and then picked up a few pebbles.
When Lu Jing saw this, he waved his hand, and the cakes on the ground disappeared.
The snail seemed a little disappointed, but soon entered a downtime state again, with its four tentacles motionless.
"It seems that your animal control technique failed."
Yan Yun, who witnessed the whole process, said.
"No, I suspect it already knows what we are looking for, and is just pretending to be stupid." Lu Jing said, "This guy is not as honest as he looks on the surface."
"Then what should I do? Do you want something hard?" Yan Yun's eyes moved slightly.
"It's best not to," Lu Jing shook his head, "Let's not talk about its strength. I just touched its shell. It's ridiculously thick and the material is very hard. As long as it shrinks inside, it won't be easy to break."
"What if we trap it? When it gets hungry or thirsty, it will have to come out of the shell."
"The problem is that it's not easy to starve a snail to death." Lu Jing smiled bitterly.
He still remembered the story he read in some magazine in his previous life, about a snail that had not eaten for four years and was still alive and well.
This snail is ridiculously large, so it may take less time to carry it.
But the problem is that they have less time on their side.
There is only more than a month left before the dragon leaves the secret realm.
It's definitely something we can't afford.
Lu Jing recalled the tasks he had done while playing games in his previous life.
"Since that person left this star map, it means that he hopes that someone in the future can find this bead. He will definitely not leave an unsolvable problem here. Most likely our trigger method is wrong."
Lu Jing closed his eyes and thought for a while, then took out a map from his sleeve and placed it in front of the snail.
This map is a copy of the star map he gave to Professor Xu. The original is still in Professor Xu's hands, and strictly speaking, it is not the original. Guo Shouhuai copied it from somewhere.
The snail looked at the star map on the ground and seemed to be touched, but still made no move.
Trouble.
Lu Jing turned up his sleeves again, but unfortunately he couldn't find anything that might be related to this place.
So he could only go up and discuss with the snail, "Friend...Senior, the dragon locked in the secret realm will come out in another month and cause trouble in the world. We need that bead to stop it. Him, otherwise, otherwise... you may never be able to eat that wheat cake just now again."
The snail didn't know whether he understood or not, and still remained motionless.
"Hey, let's not pay attention to the sense of ceremony at this time. Let's just skip the red tape and get down to business."
It's a pity that Lu Daxia's affectionate mediation still failed to achieve any effective results.
And at this time, the snail seemed to have had enough time on the ground. Seeing that there were no more wheat cakes to eat, it planned to go back underground.
Of course, Lu Jing couldn't just let it go. The nine of them had been wandering around the Gobi for almost two months, and they finally encountered this snail.
If we just let it go, we don't know when we will encounter it again.
However, Lu Jing still wanted to make one last attempt. However, just when he was about to speak, the two long tentacles on the top of the snail's head suddenly began to swing, and they were quite rapid.
Then it plunged into the ground with a fierce thrust.
But this time, the originally soft yellow sand became extremely hard.
It felt as if its head had hit an iron plate. Although it was not seriously injured, it was still a little dizzy.
Lu Jing held the array in his hand and said, "Why are you bothering? We haven't finished talking yet."
But the snail obviously didn't want to talk nonsense with Lu Jing anymore. Seeing that it couldn't burrow into the ground, it planned to run away from the ground.
Not to mention that it is a snail, but it runs incredibly fast, just like a Porsche 911.
It's a pity that Lu Jing had quietly arranged the beast control formation while it was eating cake just now.
At this moment, no matter how powerful it is, it is unable to fly.
However, Lu Jing also noticed its current agitation, as if it had encountered some natural enemy, not just those two long beards. Seeing that it could not escape, its head also began to shrink into its shell.
Then the two of them saw a large piece of wind and sand in the distance, approaching here!
