Chapter 1637 [Fufu's Bizarre Adventure 29] The Vast Sea of Sand
The death of the Qiankoulong was not so peaceful.
The sonic boom lifted it out from the bottom of the sand, blowing its head and mouth askew. Fu Fu Yu Pa took this opportunity to roll and crawl up the sand dune.
As they escaped from danger, they subconsciously looked back.
Xianglan jumped out from the side of the dragon that was stunned by the high-frequency noise, waving a gorgeous cat sword made of materials from an unknown monster, and drilled into the half-open mouth of the dragon.
With one sword, he cut off the conspicuous tumor the size of a watermelon that was hanging at the latter's throat.
Fu Fu clearly remembered that she had seen it in the illustrated book about the Chrysostomidae.
For the dinosaur, the tumor located at the throat is a very important nutrient storage organ, but it is also their most vulnerable part.
However, this weakness is mostly well protected by the extremely hard skull, making it difficult for hunters to reach it.
As the tumor was cut off, the severely injured Dilophosaurus was like a fish that had been electrocuted. It convulsed violently and jumped on the spot for a while, then burrowed into the sand and fled in panic.
Yes, it literally means “not so peacefully gone”.
Xianglan took out a small handkerchief with a look of disgust and wiped the mucus and blood stains on the cat sword. She then waved her paw at Fu Fu and Yu Pa who had just climbed up the sand dune and were looking at this place in amazement.
A man and a cat came running over happily.
"The Submarines is still too dangerous for you meow, so I won't leave it for you to practice with meow."
Xianglan said, pointing to the tumor on the ground that was still twitching slightly, "Put this away, meow, and be careful not to break it, meow.
Although it can’t be used to make equipment or anything, it is a very high-end ingredient.
If you find it troublesome, you can sell it directly to the fishermen. They should be happy to buy it. "
"Yes!" Fu Fu ran over diligently, not feeling dissatisfied at all for being commanded by an Elu.
Carefully holding the soft and sticky tumor in my hands, I felt a little disgusted, but also very curious.
How should this thing be processed to become the so-called "high-end food"?
A few minutes later they returned to the rocky beach where the fleet had camped.
The fishermen, holding their harpoons tightly and even lifting the cloth covering the heavy crossbow on the Salon, were alert to possible dangers and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw them come back.
And when Fu Fu held the tumor in front of the captain, the latter's face showed undisguised amazement.
"This is the throat meat of the Apatosaurus? You encountered a Apatosaurus? Oh my god, you were able to remove the throat meat intact without any damage?!"
Facing a series of questions from the captain, Fu Fu did not take credit for it, "Yu Pa and I don't have this ability, it's all thanks to Senior Xiang Lan.
It got into the mouth of the dinosaur and cut it off, and then drove the dinosaur away!"
Now, everyone's attention was involuntarily focused on Xianglan.
Xianglan really enjoyed the admiring and worshipful gazes. She raised her chin and acted calmly, "It's just a mere sea urchin. There's nothing to be surprised about.
This throat meat will be counted as part of the joint fishing profits. Okay, meow, you guys deal with it well, meow, I'm going back to sleep first."
After saying that, Xianglan left everyone with a chic back and went into the tent.
No one, including itself, would mention the fact that it needed to take turns to keep watch in the second half of the night.
The next day, the fishing fleet set sail again.
The sailing process was a bit boring, so Fu Fu brought Yu Pai to the deck to blow away the sand and take a few photos.
"Have you noticed? The desert here is different." The second prince also came over carrying a harpoon.
It was only with his reminder that Fu Fu noticed that the number of sand dunes had obviously decreased as far as she could see, and the entire desert seemed to have become much flatter.
As time went by, the Gobi Desert and rocky beaches that were once seen occasionally disappeared completely, replaced by endless yellow sand.
“The area around Loklak, including the area we passed through before, is considered a desert, but here is the core area of the desert.
This is what the locals call the 'real sea of sand.'" The second prince said as he grabbed a handful of fine sand that had been blown up by the wind and landed on the deck, and clenched it tightly.
But no matter how hard he tried to put his fingers together, the extremely fine and dry yellow sand would flow down through the smallest gaps between his fingertips and not remain in his palms at all.
He clapped his hands and continued, “The gravel here is much finer, really like flowing water, and ordinary shoes can easily sink into it, so walking directly on it is very dangerous.
But at the same time, this is also a paradise for creatures such as sand fish, sea dragons, and sand dragons whose limbs have been completely transformed into fins.
The sand layer here is thicker and deeper. I asked the scholars from the Scribe Team how deep it is, but they had no answer.
We can only judge from the mountain dragons that live here that the average depth is at least two hundred meters."
"Is it only here that we can catch sandfish?" After taking a few photos in succession, Fu Fu turned around and asked curiously.
“Not exactly.” The second prince smiled and said, “During the harvest festival, a large number of sand fish will follow the mountain dragons and chase the monsoon to the vicinity of Loklak.
That is the season when sandfish are the fattest and the best time to catch them.
Of course, sand fish are also distributed in other areas of the desert, but due to factors such as the living environment, the quantity and quality are much worse.
If you want to catch a large number of high-quality sandfish outside of the harvest festival, you have no choice but to go deep into the sand sea."
"I have a question, meow!" Yupai, who was following behind Fufu, raised his paw.
"There's no oasis or desert here, not even a rocky beach. Where can the fleet anchor?"
"Don't anchor. It's very dangerous to stop the ship after entering the sand sea. The hull may sink into the sand, and there is also a great risk of being attacked by monsters." The captain's voice came from behind.
"For the next two or three days, you won't have a good night's sleep. You can only take turns to rest. So, didn't I tell you repeatedly before? You must get enough sleep!"
After saying this in a gruff voice, the captain raised his voice, which sounded as resonant as a struck gong.
"We are about to reach the first large sand pit. Search around it! Everyone keep your eyes open and be alert. Report immediately when you see the fins of the sand fish!"
"Ooh!"
The fishermen shouted in unison, and the small sand boats that had originally gathered near the Shalongwan also scattered, looking for traces of the school of fish.
"Oh oh oh oh!!!" The second prince held the harpoon high and shouted extremely loudly, as if he wanted to use out all the strength he had been holding back for years in one breath.
Fu Fu also quickly threw the camera into Yu Pa's arms and raised the telescope hanging on her chest.
She is very confident in her eyesight.
As for the hunting bow and quiver, she remembered Xianglan's words and always carried them with her.
Strong winds blew, and fine sand was blown all over the sky. It was not easy to find the traces of fish through the barrier of sand and dust.
Everyone on the boat fastened their dust-proof face towels or masks, and Fu Fu, who was not used to the dust, even put on goggles.
As the ship rocked, she staggered and had difficulty standing. The lenses of the telescope and goggles collided repeatedly, making a "crackling" sound. The wind and sand kept drilling into the seams of her clothes, her hair, and her ears, making her very uncomfortable.
But fishing has never been an easy or comfortable thing. Fu Fu, who was mentally prepared in advance, tried to ignore the discomfort and focused her attention on the frame of the telescope.
A quarter of an hour, half an hour, an hour of searching seemed extremely long.
Just when Fu Fu felt her eyes starting to sore, she finally made some discoveries.
He put down the telescope in disbelief, stood on tiptoe to look, then raised the telescope again and observed carefully for two seconds.
Although it is a bit blurry due to the dust, those are undoubtedly fish fins, right? Can sandfish be so big?
She gathered her strength and shouted, "Two o'clock! About 400 meters away! I see a lot of fish fins!"
Hearing her scream, the captain immediately turned the telescope in his hand.
Then, Fu Fu heard his excited shout, "Those aren't a school of sand fish! They're a school of sand dragons!"
