Chapter 484
"Exit the pass, head toward the rising sun, and go straight for 144 miles to see a low-lying oasis, bury the ransom money under the tallest sand tree, and then leave immediately without returning. Tearing the ticket when it is empty, tearing the ticket when someone sees it." Lei Sakhar held the second kidnapping letter in his hand, and murmured the contents of it.

In the general concept, the direction where the sun rises is in the east, but in fact the position of the sun will shift according to the season.

Now is the season of "Canghan", the sunrise is not due east, but in the direction of due east and south. I don't know if Hu Shanrong has considered this detail-the location shown in the kidnapping letter is 144 miles away from the pass. If there is a slight deviation in direction, it is possible to miss the target.

The three of them have a headache about this, and they only hope that Hu Shanrong is careful enough to take into account the sunrise changes caused by the seasons, otherwise there will be an oolong at that time, making Hu Shanrong mistakenly think that the kingdom refuses to pay the ransom, and unilaterally tear up the vote, that would be terrible It's going to be a big trouble.

Resakhar browsed through the kidnapping letter repeatedly, and after carefully considering the text above, he couldn't help questioning it: "Leaving aside the direction, even if we really found the low-lying oasis that Hu Shanrong mentioned, the ransom is It was buried under the tallest sand tree, how can we ensure that he can let people go?"

"He said that empty boxes tore up tickets, and people tore up tickets, that is, we are not allowed to wait for him there. But what if he ran away after collecting the money, and didn't leave Abao there to return it to us, what should we do then? "

No matter what kind of kidnapping it is, it is undoubtedly the most stupid to follow the rhythm of the prisoner.

But obviously, Edward had thought about this level long ago, and he said lightly: "I put a fake golden moon in the box, and there is a lovebird hidden in it. As long as Hu Shanrong takes the ransom, my other lovebird will The worm will help us find his location."

The lovebird, it is not a bug on the lovebird, but a very strange creature.

This kind of insect has identical eggs, a pair of male and female, and they accompany each other from birth to death, and never give up.

Lovebirds have unparalleled perception of their twin mates, in which females like to be quiet and males like to move.

If the male and female insects are separated, the female insects will stay in place without moving, and the male insects will crawl towards the female insects based on extraordinary perception. Even if they are separated by thousands of miles, the male insects will cross the ends of the world to find their twin female insects.

This habit of never changing and never giving up until death should have been turned into a romantic chapter in the population of troubadours, sung from generation to generation.

But it's a pity that lovebirds are bugs after all, their appearance is not pleasing, and their habits are useless no matter how romantic they are.

If some beautiful animals had this habit, they would have been revered as holy beasts long ago.

Insects have this habit and do not get the slightest respect. They can only be used by human beings unfortunately and reduced to tools.

For human stalkers, the wingworm is a very effective tracking method. The insect is small and difficult to detect.

As long as the female insect remains on the target, and then use the perception ability of the male insect, it can locate the opponent's position regardless of the distance and start tracking.

Of course, wingworms also have their own limitations.

One is the quantity. This kind of insect is very rare and has low reproductive ability. It is very rare in the wild. Even if it is artificially propagated, there are only a few dozen pairs of winged insects in the trials in Doguland, which is difficult to use on a large scale.

The second problem is attachment. Bipterus is not something that grows on the target. The female will indeed remain motionless after leaving the male, but it does not mean that it will cling to the target. It is very likely that it will be in motion. shake off.

Even if it is placed in a clothing pocket, if the target changes clothes, throws away the old clothes, or the female dies in water while washing clothes, the male's perception will be invalid.

However, for this tracking of Hu Shanrong, there is no need to worry about this kind of situation happening.

Before Edward left, he ordered craftsmen to create a fake golden moon. The inside of the golden moon was hollow, and some food and a winged insect were placed in it. At the same time, a small ventilation hole was opened, which was enough to support it for a long time. survive.

1000 gold moons is not a small amount. It is impossible for Hu Shanrong to put them in his pocket, and he can only carry them in a whole box.

Even if he was careful and changed the box, he would not be able to accurately pick out the fake golden moon with the wingworm in it.

Therefore, as long as Hu Shanrong gets the ransom, it is equivalent to wearing a "tracker". No matter where he escapes, he will be bitten by Edward and others.

Edward took out a small box from his arms, pressed the button to open it, and saw a black bug the size of a quarter of a grain of rice hidden in it. It didn't look special in appearance, and it was a bit ugly, just like an ordinary Like rice bugs, it is no wonder that such a romantic habit has not attracted people's love.

The male now appears anxious and is crawling towards the direction of the box.

Edward turned it back into the box with his hand, closed it again, and said flatly: "The male is very energetic, and the food in the fake golden moon is enough to keep the female alive for several months. Now we are waiting for Hu Shanrong to take the bait."

Edward then looked at Resakhar: "You don't have to follow us out of the country this time. Your dragon target is too big, it is easy to expose your tracks, and it will also attract the attention of horse bandits. You can stay here and wait. We'll be back."

As a dragon knight, Resakhar knew his strengths and weaknesses, so he nodded without saying anything.

He wasn't worried about the safety of the two of them, Kino aside, Edward was stronger than him and his dragon combined, so it wasn't his turn to worry about it.

With the help of the local civil affairs officer, Edward and Chino got a carriage, put on a caravan uniform as a disguise, and left the country through the pass.

Since Bolton defeated the main force of the horse bandits in the "Battle of Blood Sand", the desert forces have restrained a lot in recent months, and the traces of activities on the border of the kingdom have decreased significantly.

Kino and Edward drove the carriage for more than a hundred miles, but they didn't see a single horse bandit, and there was only barren land that was constantly desertified along the way.

It has to be said that the description in the kidnapping letter was very accurate, and there was nothing that would confuse the judgment along the way. After driving 144 miles, the only oasis was revealed in the sight of the two.

This is a small oasis with a size of more than ten acres. There is a clear water source in the middle, surrounded by heat-resistant and drought-resistant vegetation. Among them, there are more than 30 sand trees, which are of different heights. The rest of the trees stand out a few meters high.

"It seems that this is the place we are looking for." Edward got out of the carriage, took out the shovel prepared in advance, walked to the tallest sand tree, shoveled out a hole enough to bury the box, and put the box away go in.

Edward had just put the box away, and before he had time to fill it with soil, a loud horn sounded from a high place.

"Woo——" the sound of the horn resounded through the sky, one sound overwhelmed the sound, and it became more and more urgent, as if there was a wolf smoke rising thereupon.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of horseshoes came from all directions, as heavy as thunder.
