Chapter 121 Friendly Exchange
The huge snail stretched his head in front of Lu Jing, first sucked the water in the water tank clean, and then swept away the ten wheat cakes on the ground.
Although the ten wheat cakes are quite large in size, they still seem insignificant compared to the huge body of the snail, which is probably not enough for the latter to plug into the teeth.
But no matter what, Lu Jing established a preliminary friendly relationship with the other party.
After the snail was given a tooth sacrifice, it seemed that it relaxed a lot of vigilance and slowly crawled out of the ground.
Its head looks big, and its overall length is even more amazing. It is estimated that it has exceeded fifteen feet. The shell on its back is about the same size as the foot shop where Lu Jing and the others lived in Ulan City before.
And it looks extremely hard, Lu Jing even found some shellfish shells and fish fossils on it.
And these evidences seem to indicate that the snail was indeed in the place where it lived before...
Lu Jing tried to walk forward two steps, and observed the snail's reaction at the same time, and saw that the latter did not show any intention of being angry or warning.
Then he stretched out one hand and touched the thick shell on its back.
His movements were as gentle as possible, and without any other subsequent movements, he quickly took back and then took out five wheat cakes from his sleeve.
This time Lu Jing took the wheat cake in his hand and handed it directly to the snail.
The snail was not polite, and opened his mouth and swallowed the five wheat cakes in one bite.
Although Yan Yun did not use the beast-controlling technique very much, it can be seen that Lu Jing should be trying to establish some way of communication with the snail.
As of now, his progress is still going well.
After spending about thirty wheat cakes, Lu Jing successfully asked the snail to help him move a big stone not far away.
This made him feel that the time was almost ripe.
So Lu Jing took out twenty pancakes in one breath this time, then gestured to the snail with beads and exchanged gestures.
But this time the snail didn't move, 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 still look quite visually impactful.
Inspired by the pancake, the snail finally moved, climbed out about twenty feet away, and then picked up a few pebbles.
Seeing this, Lu Jing waved his hand and the cakes on the ground disappeared.
The snail seemed a little disappointed, but soon entered a downtime again, with four tentacles still moving.
"It seems that your beast-controlling technique has failed."
Yan Yun, who had witnessed the whole process, spoke.
"No, I suspect it already knows what we are looking for, but is just deliberately pretending to be stupid." Lu Jing said, "This guy is not as honest as it looks on the surface."
"What should I do? Are you going to be tough?" Yan Yun's eyes moved slightly.
"It's better not to," Lu Jing shook his head, "Not to mention its strength. I just touched its shell. It was ridiculously thick and the material was also very hard. As long as it shrinks into it, it will not be easy to break it."
"What if I trap it? When it is hungry or thirsty, it should have to come out of the shell."
"The problem is that it is not easy to starve a snail to death." Lu Jing smiled bitterly.
He still remembers a story he saw in a magazine in his previous life. A snail has not eaten for four years and is still alive.
This snail is outrageously large and may have less time to withstand.
But the problem is that they have less time here.
There was only more than a month left before the dragon left the secret realm.
It is definitely not affordable to consume.
Lu Jing remembered the tasks he had done in his previous life playing games.
"Since that man left this star map, it means that he hopes that someone in the future can find this bead, and he will definitely not put an unsolvable problem here. It is probably because our triggering method is wrong."
Lu Jing closed his eyes and thought for a while, 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 authentic one is still in the hands of Professor Xu. Strictly speaking, the thing is actually not genuine, it was copied from Guo Shouhuai from somewhere.
The snail looked at the star map on the ground, and seemed to be touched, but it still didn't move.
In trouble.
Lu Jing turned up his sleeves again, but unfortunately he didn't find anything that might be related to it.
So he had to go up again and negotiate with the snail, "Please... Senior, the dragon locked in the secret realm will come out in another month. It will be a chaotic world. We need that bead to stop him, otherwise... you may never be able to eat the wheat cake just now."
The snail didn't know whether it understood or not, and still maintained a motionless posture.
"Hey, at this time, stop paying attention to the sense of ritual. We might as well skip the red tape and get the important things done."
Unfortunately, Lu Daxia's affectionate mediation still failed to achieve any effective results.
And at this time, the snail seemed to have been on the ground enough. Seeing that there was no wheat cake to eat, I planned to go back to the ground.
Of course, Lu Jing couldn't just let it go. The group of nine people had been wandering around this Gobi Desert for almost two months, and finally met this snail.
If I just let it go, I don’t know when it will happen again.
However, Lu Jing still wanted to make another final attempt, but just as he was about to open his mouth, the two long tentacles above the snail's head suddenly began to sway, and it was quite rapid.
Then it pierced into the ground with a fierce force.
But this time, the originally soft yellow sand became extremely hard.
It felt like it was hitting the iron plate. Although it was not injured much, it was a little dizzy.
Lu Jing held the array plate in his hand and said, "Why are you doing this? We haven't finished talking yet."
But the snail obviously didn't want to talk nonsense with Lu Jing. Seeing that he couldn't get into the ground, he planned to escape directly from the ground.
Not to mention that it is a snail, it runs amazingly fast, just like a Porsche 911.
Unfortunately, Lu Jing had already quietly arranged the beast-controlling array when it was eating cakes.
Now that it can't fly with its horsepower, it's hard to fly with its wings.
However, Lu Jing also noticed its current anxiety, as if it had encountered some natural enemy. Not only were the two long beards, but he could not escape, his head began to shrink into his shell.
