Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 12
At noon the next day, down the stream, hundreds of black orcs were resting in the shade of trees on the bank.
At this time, a black Orc suddenly called out in Orc language. His voice was full of surprise.
The black orcs were in a commotion. They rushed to the Bank of the river and looked upstream. There was a huge piece of ice floating on the river in the distance.
It''s midsummer. Even in the cool black forest, the temperature is over 25 degrees. It''s impossible to freeze naturally. It''s only possible that it''s man-made.
And in this world, who has the ability to make such a huge ice floe?
As long as the brain is still normal black orc, instantly thought of a word - extraordinary!
It can only be the effect of extraordinary force.
After the ice floe drifted closer, the black orcs found a more amazing thing: some black Orc bodies were frozen in the ice.
They quickly jumped into the water, intercepted the ice and worked together to push it to the shore.
After counting, they found a total of six frozen bodies in the ice, including one awakened person, whose fatal injuries were all located in the neck.
It''s obvious that the powerful and extraordinary man is also a swordsman.
Everyone suddenly realized that something big had happened.
Soon after, a huge team of more than 300 black orcs set out along the stream, including eight awakeners and a hunter.
The leader of the group is a black Orc who is stronger than the awakened one.
It''s amazing that his skin is faintly red, which is obviously different from other people''s dark complexion. His armor is more delicate, and the surface is engraved with many patterns.
For Renault and others, the crisis is coming quietly again.
"Gulu Gulu... "
Renault''s stomach was filled with cries again. He said with an embarrassed smile, "I seem to be hungry again..."
Angela looked at him in surprise: "my God, you just ate it an hour ago. In this half day, you have eaten our three-day ration by yourself."
Renault''s lips moved and finally chose to shut up.
In fact, he wanted to tell Angela that even when he had a meal, he didn''t feel full, but he couldn''t help feeling a sense of shame when he thought of the surprised eyes of the blonde girl.
Driven by hunger, his eyes were already staring at the package behind the girl uncontrollably, and saliva began to secrete rapidly in his mouth.
Since the magic level has improved by leaps and bounds, Renault has found that he is more and more able to eat, and his appetite has increased by three times, far more than the burly muse, and he is starving faster and faster.
At the beginning, he could hold on to a full meal for half a day, but now it has been shortened to an hour. His amazing amount of food has scared them.
The girl looked at him helplessly and simply gave him all the dried meat left in her backpack: "this is our last food..."
As soon as Renault got the dried meat, he couldn''t wait to gobble it up.
His situation surprised the well-informed muse. According to Muse''s conjecture, this should be the sequela of the sudden increase of Renault''s magic power.
Under normal circumstances, when practicing magic resonance, the free magic energy is introduced into the body mainly through the resonance of its own magic energy and the external free magic energy.
In the process of magic energy entering the body, free magic energy will wash the body and soul in a unique way of "washing". In the process of washing over time, the physical strength will gradually increase, and the upper limit of magic energy and mental power will also gradually increase.
That is to say, the upper limit of magic power will increase with the body strength. After the body quality is strengthened, the appetite will gradually increase. This is a step-by-step process.
But Renault''s magic power level has far exceeded the body strength. If the magic power continues to improve, it will even exceed the upper limit of the body.
However, magic power is a kind of magical energy. It seems to be conscious. It automatically detects Renault''s worries and starts to strengthen his body spontaneously.
Body strengthening needs to supplement a lot of energy, which can only be obtained from food. Therefore, Renault''s digestion ability and appetite are completely activated, and he begins to yearn for food, and his stomach becomes a bottomless hole that can''t be filled.
As a result, Renault has become a super bucket.
The girl stared at Renault''s ghostly face, turned her head and said to muse, "it seems that we should hurry to hunt, otherwise Renault will starve to death in the evening..."
Muse couldn''t help but smile. He nodded and walked forward first.
In the jungle, most wild animals have a fixed range of activities. When they move between foraging sites, water sources and nests, they will leave a lot of traces.
So the most important thing for hunting in the jungle is to find these traces.
For example, animals that like to gnaw on the tender stems of plants will leave corresponding teeth marks, and there will also be gnawing marks on shrubs.There are also footprints, which are the most obvious traces in the jungle. Animals of different sizes leave different footprints. The footprints of large animals are much deeper than those of small animals.
Mousse recognized the animal tracks on the ground and looked around from time to time.
He wanted to find a larger prey, because Renault''s food intake was so terrible that small prey couldn''t stand it at all.
Before long, Muse found what he wanted - a line of deep hoof marks.
He also squatted down to touch the footprints. There was a slight wet mark on the bottom of the footprints, which indicated that the owner of the footprints had just passed here not long ago.
After walking in the dark forest for more than half an hour, Renault suddenly had a strange feeling.
Since killing the black Orc pursuers, his mental strength has improved a lot, and his perception of the external environment has become more acute.
When concentrating, he can even vaguely feel the wild will in the air - it''s violent magic power.
If there is any disharmony in the environment, he can quickly detect it. At this time, he happens to have this disharmony, just like a stain suddenly appears in a delicate picture.
Renault looked up at the environment as he walked.
This is the deepest part of the black forest, where people rarely visit all the year round, surrounded by giant trees more than 8 meters in diameter.
Countless branches of different thicknesses lie in the air, and the upper layers of leaves make the air like a green curtain, with little light penetrating.
It was quiet all around. There were no birds or insects at all. It was quieter than other places.
Renault also found a strange place.
There were many broken branches on the giant trees around, and the branches were still bare. After seeing the broken branches, his sense of disharmony became clearer.
He couldn''t help looking up at the nearest branch.
As he gazed at the branch for the first time, a warning appeared in Renault''s mind, as if there were some unknown danger, which made him suspicious.
At this time, a word came out of his mind - mimicry.
Renault suddenly realized that these broken branches were not branches at all, but some creatures disguised as branches.
The next moment, Renault''s face suddenly changed.
Because he suddenly understood why the jungle was so quiet.
There is only one reason: all creatures, animals and insects that enter this area are killed by them.
The reason why these creatures disguise themselves as branches is not to avoid natural enemies, but to hunt.
They can occupy a territory in the black forest, obviously they are not weak.
But Renault was not afraid. On the contrary, another thought came out of his mind: "they Is it delicious? "
Although he had eaten a lot of dried meat just now, he was not satisfied. Under the burning of hunger, Renault''s view of the problem had a strange deviation.
At the moment, in his eyes, everything in the world can only be divided into two categories, one can eat, the other can not eat.
So his eyes began to get a little wrong.
Angela can''t help looking back at him when she hears his footsteps slow down. Seeing that he stares at the top, she can''t help asking strangely, "Renault, what are you looking at?"
Renault didn''t move his eyes. He replied without thinking, "there''s food on it, a lot, a lot..."
He added: "Angela, uncle muse, there are many strange creatures on it, which may be dangerous. Be careful..."
Muse immediately alerted, both hands pull out two huge sword, put on a guard posture, Angela also like, picked up a one handed sword and light shield.
Their actions completely broke the silence, and there was an amazing change in the forest.
In the dark canopy, a pair of light spots appeared. Looking up, at least a few hundred pairs of light spots appeared on the trees nearby.
They are eyes!
