"Just now, we were dealing with the corpse, and unexpectedly, a water spear suddenly shot out from the monster's carapace on the corpse's back. I was pierced through before I could react."
"Chief, I'm sorry..."
"What are you sorry for? Get some rest, Rabbit. Apply this ointment to her wound, then sew it up and tie it up with herbs and spider silk."
The herbs that Little Rabbit picked up these days have been checked by Su Yuan's identification function. Little Rabbit has a thick notebook in which Su Yuan records the effects of each herb she found.
As for spider silk, it is the business that the little spider ladies like Red Blaze and Blue Sha want to make. Now that there is no cloth, the spider silk they spit out has extremely strong toughness and comfort.
Apart from being a bit clingy, it is much better than animal skins. It is usually used by the beast girls as a tool instead of ropes, and the rabbits will also buy some to bandage wounds.
"Where's the body of the water spear lizard? Take me to see it."
This was the first time he had encountered a monster that could still cause harm to people even after death. He had originally planned to wait until the end of his hot spring bath to see if this fourth-level monster could produce any rare items.
Now is the time to check ahead.
Su Yuan followed the beast girls to the beach not far away. At this time, many people were busy dealing with corpses in one place, and the body of the water spear lizard was placed aside.
"That's it, Chief. Be careful! When you press it, a water spear will spurt out from that spot!"
The bodies of the water spear lizards had been half decomposed. Su Yuan touched the bodies one by one, and only when he touched the shell did the system prompt sound.
[Spinal pressure lizard carapace: Spinal pressure lizards have a carapace on their backs that draws water through their tails and stores it in a sac inside the carapace. This allows the spinal pressure lizard to survive for three years without drinking water. When in danger, it will compress and spray water arrows.]
"This thing is quite interesting. It can actually spit out water arrows even when it's dead? Could it be an instinctive muscle reaction?"
But once the shell was peeled off, there were no muscles left, so how could there be any instinctive muscle reaction?
Su Yuan took the thing to a farther place, pressed his finger hard on the place where the beast girl mentioned before, and a water arrow instantly spurted out from it.
The speed was so fast that it was no wonder the beast girls couldn't react. The water arrow flew in the air before turning into water drops and slowly falling down.
After pressing again, there was still no water in the shell, only some air was expelled.
Su Yuan found the tail of the lizard according to the system's instructions. A slender yellow tail was stuck to the lizard's big tail, but it had been peeled off at this moment.
When the little tail was placed in the water, the thing instinctively began to extract water. Soon the sac in the shell was filled up, and because it had lost control, it continued to extract water without restraint even after it was full.
The sight of the water flowing and the pumping reminded him of something.
Water pump!
Isn't this a natural water pump? Just build a huge water barrel on the residential building and install this thing on the barrel. It can continuously draw water from the ground below and replenish the barrel.
Although it was very troublesome to think about how to make this thing, at least he had an idea temporarily, and Su Yuan no longer needed to spend tens of thousands of points to buy water pumps, generators and a bunch of other things.
In addition, fuel must be replenished frequently and maintenance must be carried out at any time, among other follow-up tasks.
Looking at the natural water pump in his hand, Su Yuan's eyes flashed with joy. This is the best alternative at present, and there is no rush to replace it in the future when civilization develops.
However, further research is needed. Such a short tail is definitely not able to come into contact with the underground lake water, and I don’t know how long this biological instinct can last.
"Looks like I need to let Black Sheep and the others study this thing..."
