"There's no need for that. Even if this beast was indeed killed by the Xuan Long, we only managed to determine its range of activity from the three corpses. We won't be able to find it in the last two days, no matter how hard we try," Zhu Minglang said.
They had only managed to find its range of activity after thirteen days.
The range of activity was quite vast. Unless the Xuan Long didn't move, they could continue to search for more clues. However, Mr. Koi had already said that the Xuan Long would definitely change its location every month. It would be a waste of time to continue searching for it.
Caiyou looked at Zhu Minglang without saying a word. She only looked at him with a wronged expression.
"Alright, we can't give up on the last two days. Come, I'll help you clean it," Zhu Minglang said.
"Okay, okay!" Caiyou nodded.
It took them half a day to clean up all the poison.
Zhu Minglang finally dared to touch the wound on the corpse. The wound had to be opened, and he had to feel the angle and depth of the bite with his hands. Most importantly, he had to know if the shape of the tear and bite matched the shape of the Xuan Long's teeth.
"That's strange," Zhu Minglang said.
"What's wrong?" Caiyou quickly asked.
"The depth of the wound is indeed in the shape of a sword's teeth. We can confirm that this beast was killed by the Xuan Long," Zhu Minglang said.
"Then we've gained something!" Caiyou smiled.
"But why did it stop after eating half of it?" Zhu Minglang asked.
Zhu Minglang didn't care about the poisonous corpse at first because the Xuan Long had a huge appetite. The size of the corpse was not enough for it to eat.
"Is it because it doesn't like the meat of this beast?" Caiyou asked.
Zhu Minglang shook his head and said, "If it doesn't like it, it will be like the first Ancestral Mammoth. It will casually take a few bites and then throw it away after discovering that the taste is not right. It won't eat half of it like this."
"Maybe there's danger nearby," Caiyou said.
Zhu Minglang rubbed his chin and stared at the remaining half of the corpse. Suddenly, he had an idea and said, "Could it be that it discovered that the holy beast was poisoned when it was halfway through eating?"
"That's possible!" Caiyou quickly nodded.
Zhu Minglang carefully examined the poisonous moss again.
At first, Zhu Minglang thought that it was because the corpse had been thrown into the poisonous moss. That was why it was not destroyed by the latecomers, nor was it decomposed by the tiny creatures. But now that he thought about it carefully, it seemed that something was wrong.
This Saint Beast must have been poisoned first.
Xuan Long discovered this sacred beast and killed it.
After killing it and eating half of it, it discovered that the holy beast was poisoned, so it quickly threw it away.
The poisonous blood, flesh, and body fluids of the holy beast flowed onto the ground, causing a large amount of poisonous moss to grow on the ground. The poisonous moss prevented the creatures that relied on the corpse to survive, so the remaining half of the corpse was preserved for a long time!
"In that case, Xuan Long ate the poisoned meat of the holy beast. This Xuan Long is most likely poisoned too … I understand now, I understand now. No wonder we haven't been able to find any fresh prey for the past few days. It must have been poisoned. It hasn't hunted much in the past half a month while we've been looking for it!" Zhu Minglang said.
"That's right. If it was poisoned, it could only recuperate in the dragon's den," Caiyou said.
"Moreover, if it was poisoned, it would have to delay moving — — we would have more time to find it!" Zhu Minglang's eyes suddenly lit up.
Caiyou suddenly understood after hearing this. Then, a joyful smile appeared on his face.
"My God, we will definitely find it," Caiyou said.
"Thank you for your persistence …" Zhu Minglang said.
"It's Caiyou's greatest honor to be able to help you!" Caiyou heard Zhu Minglang's praise, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
Zhu Minglang looked at this beautiful and brilliant smile, and suddenly remembered the pain she felt when she was stranded on the beach at Dragon Tail Mountain.
Xuan Kai was right to ask Caiyou to forget that hatred. She was a very good girl, full of enthusiasm for life, and would not give up that little bit of hope.
Just forget about the pain first. When I'm stronger, I will uphold justice for you!
"We can look for this kind of Heart Cleansing Grass in the place where it grows. Maybe there will be traces of Xuan Long. After all, it also needs this kind of herb to detoxify its poison," Zhu Minglang said.
"Well, this kind of Heart Cleansing Grass usually grows under the hanging rock. It needs rain and dew that have penetrated the rock essence to grow," Caiyou said.
"The harsher the growing conditions, the better. This way, we can even squat there," Zhu Minglang nodded.
Caiyou's persistence was very important. Not only did it lock the range of Xuan Long's activities, but it also gave Zhu Minglang a very clear direction and clue.
Through this direction and clue, there was a high probability that they could find Xuan Long!
… …
As long as they knew the growing environment of the Heart Cleansing Grass, it was not difficult to find all the places with Heart Cleansing Grass in this area. What's more, Zhu Minglang had so many dragons. Everyone divided the work, and soon they could find all the places where Heart Cleansing Grass grew.
It took four days, and there were a total of six places. Maybe they missed some areas with Heart Cleansing Grass, but this kind of toxicity obviously required a lot of this kind of herb to be ground into juice, and the detoxification speed was very slow. Otherwise, Caiyou wouldn't have not cleaned it up after a whole night.
"Look, this place has been picked. It should be Xuan Long. It is constantly looking for Heart Cleansing Grass to detoxify its poison!" Caiyou said excitedly.
Zhu Minglang walked into the cave. At the entrance of the cave, he saw a piece of hanging rock, like an umbrella. Below it was a piece of rock soil, forming a small depression. In the small depression, there was a piece of Heart Cleansing Grass, but it had been spoiled.
Zhu Minglang glanced and saw a thin sequin, which fell under the hanging rock. It should be Xuan Long who was picking these Heart Cleansing Grass. After all, the rocks here were rugged and the cave was narrow.
"Mr. Koi, take a look at this scale. Isn't this the scale of a Xuan Dragon? Don't let us find it and find that it's just an ordinary dragon," Zhu Minglang said.
"I wasn't sure before, but seeing this scale, I can guarantee with my life that it must be Xuan Long!" Mr. Koi said.
What?
I wasn't sure before!
Caiyou and I worked hard for half a month just because Mr. Koi said that it was Xuan Long. As a result, this guy wasn't very sure at first!!
It's too unreliable!!
"There are four kinds of dragons with this shape of teeth: Xuan Long, Jianghu Dragon, Jade Dragon, and Qilin Dragon. Even if it isn't Xuan Long, except for Jianghu Dragon, the other two kinds of dragons are also very strong," Mr. Koi said.
There was a one in four chance that it was Xuan Long.
Mr. Koi's tone and attitude at the beginning was the biggest motivation for Zhu Minglang to work hard these days. As a result, this guy was deceiving him from the beginning!!
Fortunately, he guessed correctly, otherwise, the Little Golden Dragon's staple food tonight wouldn't have to rely on catfish.
