MTL - Dawn of the Grey Tower-Chapter 66 big game
Something drilled out of the water, very fast. Even though it has been out of the water and exposed to the air, the speed of the thing still makes cheese and Youni only see a rough outline in their eyes.
Fortunately, there is a person with better dynamic vision than the two of them. Pinwei saw clearly the black figure who was angry because the attack failed. Yu subconsciously pushed both the mage and the apprentice away. Immediately afterwards, there was a loud noise, and something heavy hit the shore.
That thing is nearly as thick as the chest of two adults, like a black tube, and the outside of the tube is densely covered with circles of flesh folds. These folds wriggle with its behavior, like some kind of special tide. On the top of the black tube, you can see the mouthparts with a special shape. Its edge is star-shaped, and there are some small teeth that do not match the body shape. Most of the teeth are elongated triangles, and they seem to have no chewing function , closer to the canines responsible for biting and holding.
This is no wonder, because what is really deadly in the mouthparts of that thing is a slender but extremely tough fleshy straw. Only a small part of this straw is visible, and more parts are folded and stored inside the mouthparts , just wait for the teeth to fix the target, and then carefully insert the feeding tongue into the prey.
Needless to say, the thing that attacked the cheese from the lake can be seen as a huge leech, no, in terms of length, its appearance may be closer to those worms like streamers in the sea.
Its appearance can also well explain the death of Longying. Even the birds cannot guard against the sudden attack just now. Even cheese, which uses spells to dodge, might not be able to escape the second attack without the help of Yingwei. It can be seen how fast this leech is.
It is normal for aquatic organisms to move fast in the water. Not only the speed, but also the strength of aquatic creatures in the water is not the same as their size after landing. Fish the size of a palm can wrestle with the fisherman for a while in the water. It is not entirely impossible for the fishing rod to be damaged.
This is especially true for those fish that will be dubbed as big fish after they are caught. Unless they rely on fishing lines and patience to deal with them until they are exhausted, people on the shore or on the boat will never dare to pull them close easily.
The problem is that no matter how strong a fish is, it can't flop a few times on the shore, and loses its familiar living environment. It's like letting a strongman fight with people underwater. No matter how strong he is on the ground, he will not be stronger than a fish in the water. More flexible in the water.
Are leeches fish? Of course not, a normal-sized leech can only be regarded as an ambush or parasite in the water, and it is not the same as a creature that controls its own movement method like a fish.
Logically speaking, even underwater, the leech's soft body is doomed to be unable to exert much power. Even if its size is enlarged proportionally, it shouldn't be so sharp.
"We won the lottery. This thing has dragon blood in its stomach, genuine dragon blood." Cheese got up from the ground, not caring whether he looked embarrassed or not. His tone was rarely eager, which was absolutely true. The joy of the late ruler's goal.
After all, the reason why these people went deep into the blank world is to find things that can be directly related to the dragon, and nothing is more suitable than the things on the dragon. What's more, in terms of connection alone, blood, a thing inside the body, is better than dragon scales or even dragon claws and teeth.
"Are you sure? Could it be that the dragon also has parasites?" The half-demon stood up and looked at the leech that was slowly retreating back into the water. The speed of that thing is indeed very fast, but only a few times under the water. After all, molluscs cannot exert force like creatures with bones.
"No, there won't be those things on the dragon. However, there is not only one way to obtain dragon blood. In short, our goal now is to pull this thing out of the water."
Naturally, it would not be easy to drag such a giant beast from its lair to the ground. But compared to looking for traces of the dragon and approaching the nest carefully, this leech is as docile as a newborn puppy. Cheese watched the thing recede, stopping the half-demon who wanted to rush up.
"It doesn't matter, let it go. This is not something that can be resolved immediately. It is here and cannot escape. We have enough time to lay out a careful plan, and then execute it in detail."
As a predator, giant leeches have the advantage of being unpredictable. As prey, its weakness lies in its extremely single range of activities. Of course, this is also because the hunting party is the relationship between Cheese and the others. The deep water layer is enough to provide a barrier for the leech to isolate most threats on the ground. It is sitting in an extremely safe castle.
However, the arrival of Cheese is like a giant with high mountains in the legend, who can walk in the deep sea, and the upper body is still on the water. The degree to which the small castle can resist is too much for him. Now all he has to think about is how to make a shot and how to minimize the number of shots, that is, a successful method.
The blue eyes stared at the black object and completely disappeared into the water with the last ripple it caused, and the smile at the corners of the mouth because of the accidental discovery converged. In all fairness, predators in deep water are definitely difficult targets to deal with. Judging from the underwater scene shown by the magic just now, the length of this leech is likely to be more than 20 meters. If you want to simply drag it to the shore, It's not easy even if the other party doesn't struggle.
Cheese turned his head to look at the environment by the lake, pointed to a raised slope, "We camped there."
Camping is different from camping, which means that in Cheese's plan, the three of them will stay at that location for at least three days, otherwise it is not worth wasting energy and resources to set up camp. It does take a few days to deal with giant leeches, but from an overall point of view, the dragon materials that can be obtained in these few days are almost like pie in the sky.

The three of them came to the soil slope, from which they could see the whole lake. They could not only avoid getting too close to the water surface, but also could monitor the water surface for the next step.
"Now that our prey is clear, the next thing to do is to be patient. We must understand that thing before we can find a way to hunt it." Cheese Xiangyouni said.
However, there was actually another reason why he was so cautious this time. A leech was also a kind of worm. Such a huge leech inevitably reminded him of his worst opponent so far, the evil worm **** entrenched on the sky tree.
There is a connection between things, and it is difficult for you to conclude that such an abnormal worm has nothing to do with the evil **** with a similar appearance.
"Teacher, can dragon blood exist in the stomach for such a long time?" Compared with cheese, Yoni's focus is more practical. What they need is dragon blood, not creatures that have absorbed dragon blood. There is an essential difference between the two.
"To some extent, you can think of dragon blood as a kind of digestible stone. It will stay in the digestive system of creatures for a long time before being slowly decomposed and absorbed. Therefore, in the body of the bug, there is indeed There's undigested blood."
