Then, he waved to Han Sanqian, got up and walked towards his stove.
Han Sanqian and three other people quickly followed, and then a group of four people arrived next to the stove.
Next to the stove, there is a small wooden cabinet, about half the height of the old man. The appearance is dusty, and it is placed in a corner. If you don't look closely, it will be difficult for ordinary people to notice it.
If you said it was a pile of dirt, no one would doubt it.
He gently dusted off the dust on it, causing half of the room to be filled with dust for a while. Then, with the sound of creaking wood, he opened the cabinet.
When the cabinet was opened, about half a box of dry green plants lay safely inside.
"If you want the cornucopia to move, you need this. This is a special thing in the extremely snowy land. Although it looks like grass, it is not actually grass."
"Then what is this?" the pangolin asked.
The old man smiled softly, took out a dried green plant, crushed it gently in his hand, raised his hand and put it in front of the three people.
This stuff is very broken, like powder.
“Mud??”
"sand?"
Pangolin and Xia Wei guessed.
"It's fish eggs, right?" Han Sanqian asked.
"Fish eggs?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Wei and Pangolin almost uttered surprise at the same time, and at the same time opened their eyes wide to see the powder in the old man's hand.
It is as fine as sand and has extremely small particles. It is extremely difficult to say "sand", let alone associate it with fish eggs.
The moonlight ghost fish is so big, how can its eggs be so small? And even if it is a very small fish species, the eggs it lays are definitely not so cute.
"You're right."
But at this moment, the old man looked at Han Sanqian, smiled and nodded, indicating that he recognized Han Sanqian's statement.
The two were immediately shocked and exclaimed: "Are these really fish eggs?"
The old man nodded, and Xia Wei and Pangolin looked at Han Sanqian strangely. They really didn't understand how Han Sanqian connected these things to the fish eggs.
Han Sanqian smiled. Obviously, this was indeed a guess, but it was also a well-founded guess.
The old man said that there are only two kinds of creatures in this extremely snowy land, one is the blood worm and the other is the moonlight ghost fish. These extra plants are inherently suspicious.
Secondly, if a place is closed, like this extremely snowy place, if it lasts for a long time, it must have its corresponding ecosystem.
This is the key to the formation of a region.
"If my guess is correct, these fish eggs are also food for the blood worms, right?" Han Sanqian said.
The old man smiled again and nodded: "Master Han pretends to be smart, and he is indeed so."
Han Sanqian smiled: "That's right."
Moonlight Ghost Fish feeds on blood worms, so the old man can use blood worms to catch Moonlight Ghost Fish.
But how do bloodworms survive? In this extremely snowy land, the only living thing left is the moonlight ghost fish.
This reminded Han Sanqian of the former Snake Island on Earth.
Almost every inch of Snake Island is covered with snakes. Apart from snakes, almost nothing can grow there. Only seabirds that occasionally pass by the island stop temporarily, but this does not provide enough food for the gradually expanding group of snakes.
However, the reason why snakes can still survive and expand is because there is another creature on the island, and that is rats.
The natural enemy of rats is snakes, which are naturally food for snakes and provide the necessary energy for the growth of snake groups.
However, despite this, the rats on the island have not become extinct because of this, and their numbers have even continued to gradually expand.
The reason is that although snakes feed on rats, rats will also eat snakes as food while the snakes are hibernating. The two rely on this to form an ecological chain to keep the island prosperous.
Isn't this land of extreme snow just like the Snake Island?
The blood worms are eaten by the moonlight ghost fish, but the blood worm family is still growing stronger, which shows that the blood worms must also feed on the moonlight ghost fish.
If the big one doesn't work, the small one will do, right?
This was the reason why Han Sanqian guessed that these were fish eggs and food for blood worms.
"Even, I understand one thing." Han Sanqian suddenly raised his head and looked at the old man.
Xia Wei and the pangolin were like two confused rattles, following Han Sanqian as he looked at the old man, and at the same time shifted their gaze from Han Sanqian to the old man.
The old man smiled slightly: "Oh? What's the matter?"
