After all the hair is shaved off, you can see the slightly yellowed body skin. If it is completely dried, it will form a blanket that is almost one meter square. At the same time, the body will appear translucent brown, just like dried cowhide. .
Because this kind of blood-sucking blanket eats blood all year round, the body has a strong smell of blood. After drying, it can be crushed and used as medicinal materials. It is a good material for replenishing qi and blood, strengthening the body, calming the nerves, and stopping bleeding. Pi donkey-hide gelatin and golden bird's nest belong to the same level of treasures.
Since the vampire blanket is extremely difficult to catch, its price is much higher than that of the other two. It can be said that every inch of skin is worth a lot of money.
When Keli said this, there were also a lot of doubts in his eyes: "Back then, the vampire blanket my father caught was not really big. He said that the vampire blanket has an extremely long lifespan and grows slowly. It is one meter square. The size of each animal must be at least thirty or forty years long. The thing in front of us is three to four meters long and wide. If not three hundred years, it has lived for at least two hundred years. With such a huge body, we don’t know how many desert birds we have eaten. beast."
While they were talking, the blood-sucking blanket had sunk into the mud and disappeared into the quicksand whirlpool. They all saw how this thing had sucked the camel's flesh and blood clean. Even though it had disappeared, everyone's hearts were still filled with dark clouds.
For them, crossing the hundreds of meters wide Quicksand River to the other side is already an unsolvable problem. Now, encountering the blood-sucking blanket in the Quicksand River makes it even worse. Even these two cannot solve it. The problems have been merged into one difficult problem and blocked in front of everyone.
"Do these things have any natural enemies? Or is there any way to kill them?" Yue Guanchao asked.
He thought to himself that no matter whether he could cross the Liusha River or not, he had to deal with this thing first, otherwise he would be in trouble if it made a sneak attack.
After all, his guess was too naive. Keli shook his head: "These blood-sucking blankets are large in size, have a long lifespan, strong strangulation power, sharp lips and teeth, and great strength. As long as they are in water or swamps, they will use water and mud to protect themselves. Even if tigers and leopards stray into the quicksand whirlpool, they may not be their opponents."
"If you think about it, even land-based killers like tigers and leopards can't do anything to them in the water, and other animals are even more incomparable."
He paused and his tone became serious: "From this point of view, as long as he does not appear on land, he is almost invincible. If the weakness of these things is anything, it must be that they are afraid of salt, and at the same time they are extremely It needs water. As long as it is in a dry and dehydrated environment, its body will soon emit more water, making the body very dry and eventually forming a mummy. Secondly, it cannot breathe on the shore. As long as it stays away from the water source, it will be killed alive. Suffocate to death.”
Yue Guanchao suggested: "At least this thing cannot survive on the shore. Otherwise, we can make a bait and use living animals to lure out the blood-sucking blanket, and then catch it and send it directly to the west."
His plan was just a mouthful. Keli didn't seem to be very optimistic about this proposal. He shook his head and said: "The blood-sucking blanket can indeed be dealt with in this way, but ours may not be so strong. It is three or four meters wide. The volume is the same as a small house, and it is even heavier including the water on it. Without any fulcrum, even if they include a camel, it will be difficult for them to completely pull it out of the mud."
"Taking a step back, even if we really kill this thing, it won't help us enter Secret Orchid City. The Liusha River should still be here, and it won't stop existing just because we kill the blood-sucking blanket. "
Keli glanced at the irregular round holes on the ground, and seemed to understand something. His eyes lit up and he looked at everyone and said, "We are not the first ones to arrive here. If my guess is correct, the first batch The people who arrived here were Stein Hein and my father, and my father must have faced this thing before. If this thing was really so easy to kill, he might have solved it long ago."
After speaking, he paused and his tone became serious: "We can still see vampire blankets active in Liusha River, which at least shows that vampire blankets are not easy to kill. In other words, there are more than one vampire blankets, and killing them is easy. It’s useless, no one has the force or physical strength to deal with all the blood-sucking blankets.”
Keli lowered his head and carefully observed the regular round holes on the ground. Most of these round holes were arranged in a triangular shape. He immediately understood the meaning: "My father once taught me how to make a trap for catching large fish. These round holes are arranged in a triangular shape, which is probably The traces they left behind when they crossed the river."
Then, he carefully observed the location of the holes. After taking in all the holes, he had an idea in his mind to deal with the blood-sucking bag. He looked at everyone with joy and said, "The blood-sucking blanket is indeed scary, but it does not need to be killed. If you can make good use of the blood-sucking blanket, you can actually achieve your goal of crossing the Liusha River."
"If my guess is right, these round holes are the marks left by my father when he made animal traps. I can restore this thing. Maybe we can capture it first and use it for me."
Yue Guanchao saw that crossing the river was about to happen, so he put his arms around Keli's neck: "Keli, I think you are the most capable among us. Whatever plans you have, we will definitely cooperate."
Keli nodded: "First we restore the hunting stakes left by my father, and then hunt a larger sand sheep or sand fox nearby, dig a water diversion ditch in the ground, smash down triangular wooden stakes, and use the wooden stakes to build Create a mechanism, put their blood into the trap at the same time, and use flesh and blood to attract the blood-sucking blanket. As long as the vampire blanket enters the mechanism and wraps up the Orion, the mechanism will be triggered directly. A large net will be collected from below the water surface, and the blood-sucking blanket will be drawn out directly. Trapped in blanket."
"These blood-sucking blankets are very greedy, and they will never let go of the things they wrap up. The more dangerous the outside is, the more they will tighten their skins. At this time, you can use bows and arrows to directly pierce their ears, forming the shape of cattle and sheep. After planting the ring through the nose, and pulling the reins, you can sit on the sheepskin raft and be carried by the blood-sucking blanket across the quicksand river to the other side."
Keli added at the end: "These blood-sucking blankets are strong enough and float on the water. With them as traction, our sheepskin raft cannot sink into the mud. They know the underwater environment very well and will not take us with them." Enter certain vortexes so you can avoid the dangers of nearby underground waterways.”
Song Siyuan still has many questions about this plan: "Will these blood-sucking blankets really become obedient because they are captured by bows and arrows? If they throw us away, then we will fall into quicksand."
