Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 62
This is the seventh day after the people left the ruins.
After killing the Sorcerer''s snake, everyone''s bad luck seems to be swept away. In the following time, their actions in the Sorcerer''s marsh are very smooth, and they don''t encounter any danger.
The only problem is that the road is not easy to walk. In the upper reaches of marshes, we often encounter shallow water areas. Because the specific heat capacity of water is several times that of mud, freezing water into ice consumes more magic power. It''s too much magic power to use this way to drive.
In addition, the shallow water area is not deep enough, but it is also full of water and grass, so they can''t sail at all, which brings them a lot of trouble. They have to wade in a lot of times, and the forward speed is very slow.
After entering the middle reaches of the marshes, the situation is greatly improved. Because most of the rivers nearby flow into the marshes, the number of lakes increases greatly with abundant water resources, and the water depth is deep enough. Most of the time, people can sail in the lakes, which saves time and effort.
And at the end of the summer, the iceboat has its own air conditioning, which is very comfortable.
Once they reached the end of the lake, they abandoned the iceboat and went to the next lake. Renault rebuilt another iceboat.
Rivers also inject a large amount of nutrients into the marshes, and the number of organisms in the lake soars. There are not only all kinds of fish, but also many aquatic mammals, and even some large water monsters.
But with the skills of [reverse heat conduction] and [reverse heat convection], Renault is playing with all kinds of aquatic creatures.
As long as it''s not a very powerful creature, Renault throws away a few skills, freezes them in ice and turns them into dishes in people''s bowls.
So the recipe exploded. Because there are so many kinds of food, even if every meal is changed, they can''t finish it. It''s not a very delicious fish. They will never eat another meal after one.
In addition, due to the small area of the iceboat and the lack of space for activities, it''s quite boring to stay on the boat for a long time, so everyone began to change their ways to have fun, among which fishing is the most popular.
To be exact, it is to kill all kinds of novel fish and change the taste by the way.
It''s just that except for Renault, who is a Toby, other people use long weapons to stab fish.
Because foreign fish are generally big and powerful. If they fish like Renault, is it man or fish?
After entering the downstream of the black witch marsh, the water area is far more than the muddy area, so people hardly need to change ships. Renault only needs to replenish the melted ice regularly.
The area of the lake is also very large. Looking far away, the water and the sky are the same color, and the water surface seems boundless. Only the lake wind caresses the continuous waves on the water surface.
It also means more fish and bigger.
As long as the bait is dropped, there will soon be big fish coming, sometimes more than one.
These big fish are generally very fierce. After seeing the iceboat, many big fish rush up to take a bite and taste it.
A few large water monsters even dare to face up to the iceboat, and even attempt to overturn the iceboat when they detect other creatures on the iceboat.
But is Mr. Renault a man to be provoked?
Of course not.
The birds in the black forest just looked at him one more time, and he roasted them without hesitation. Is the iceboat that Lord Reynolds painstakingly made also the fish monster?
I''m guilty of licking.
So without exception, they all paid a very heavy price for their reckless behavior.
Most of the fish monsters who don''t have long eyes fully realize what "cool" means. They are first cut by wire and then frozen in ice.
A few fish monsters with thick skin and rough meat dare to resist. Renault warmly invited them to experience a famous Chinese dish - boiled fish.
Of course, not in the name of the guest, but as the main course.
With the help of [reverse heat conduction], yuguai took the first and last boiling bath of "Yusheng".
When the surface of the water is boiling, no fish monster can withstand this warm hospitality and become "cooked outside and tender inside".
There is also a surge in the number of waterbirds.
Groups of water birds can often be seen wandering in the air, or floating on the lake. Occasionally, large birds pass through the sky, scaring other birds to flee.
The concept of large birds in the world is completely different from that on earth. They refer to birds that can prey on adult humans.
They are very large, with a wingspan of more than 10 meters and a weight of several hundred kilograms. Their flying speed is amazing. Some super Raptors are even born with the power of wind elements.
They are also the creatures that ordinary people fear most. Every year, many large birds prey on humans. Most of the tragedies happen in the wild, and farmers and women are the main victims.
When they are busy in the farmland, big birds suddenly fall from the sky, kill these poor people with sharp claws and beaks, and then take away the bodies.
There are a few unfortunate people occasionally in small towns, but generally speaking, big birds seldom visit crowded places.Because where there are many people, there is a greater chance of awakening.
The advantage of big birds is obvious. Relying on their ability to fly, they can run wild and kill isolated human beings wantonly.
But the weakness is also very obvious. As long as the awakened use throwing weapons such as short spears to damage their wings, the big birds that can''t fly will die.
As for Warcraft level big birds, they generally master the rune [wind], each comes and goes like the wind, and human beings are not rivals at all.
If they want to have a taste, almost no one can stop these terrible big guys except the upanists.
Among the various legends of supernatural beings, the beginning of many stories is that "a terrible magic bird slaughtered a village or town, and the Lords offered a high price reward for those with powerful abilities to drive away or kill the magic bird that occupied the village".
Many stories are very similar to the third rate knight novels on earth. At the end of the story, a young man with ability kills the magic bird, marries Bai Fumi (a noble lady) and goes to the top of his life (gets a title).
Like the people of the earth, the people of other worlds also like this tune very much.
It is obvious that the power of YY God runs through all the civilizations in the crystal wall system.
But fortunately, the number of Warcraft birds is very rare. As the top of the food chain, their recipes are too rich to list humans as staple food.
In their opinion, bipedal animals are too firewood, with less meat and more bones, which is far from the evaluation of "fat and juicy".
At this time, on the iceboat, Muse looked at a small black spot in the sky and frowned suddenly.
"Be careful, everyone," he said in a deep voice. "That big bird has been in the sky for a long time. I suspect it may have taken us as prey."
Angela asked curiously, "don''t those big birds only attack people who are left alone? With so many of us, does it dare to attack? "
Renault looked up for a moment and sighed: "I guess this guy has eaten a lot of human flesh recently, and his courage has grown..."
The rest of us suddenly realized.
Renault''s inference is the only explanation.
It''s true that big birds are not easy to get close to at ordinary times, but now they are no better than before.
The black Orc army is catching people everywhere. Many civilians have no ability to leave the kingdom. In order to avoid the capture, they have to flee to the wilderness.
Many of these people are old, weak, sick and disabled. They don''t know how to deal with the danger in the wild. For the wild animals, there are many more easy prey in the wild.
To some extent, the invasion of black orcs is a disaster for human beings, but a carnival for wild animals.
The big bird in the sky is mostly one of the participants in this carnival.
It is precisely because it kills more human prey, the heart of fear greatly reduced, to see Renault and others dare to make up their minds.
But this guy is obviously blind.
Renault took a cold look at it, and the rune array of "read power" suddenly appeared. At the next moment, his body rose to the sky.
At the same time, in the soul space, the original talent Rune [wind] flashes, a lot of magic power flows into it, a faint cyclone appears around, and his flight speed suddenly increases.
Before getting the rune [wind], when Renault used [mind power], even if he increased the infusion speed of mental power to the limit, his flight speed would not exceed 20 m / s.
After gaining the blessing of the power of the wind element, he soared nearly 100 meters per second.
If you only rely on the rune [wind], you won''t be able to fly so fast, but when you combine [read power] with the rune [wind], everything changes.
It counteracts Renault''s gravity and turns him into a feather, which is carried forward at high speed by the element of wind.
At this moment, Renault felt that his whole body was wrapped by a layer of magical air. Where he flew, the air would automatically move away, as if cheering to greet him.
So, even if the speed was so amazing, he didn''t even feel the wind.
What''s it like to fly like a bird?
Renault''s field of vision became extremely wide, the earth gradually spread out in front of him, and spread out into a very vast and magnificent picture. The roaring air around him made him feel as if he was part of the air.
He also realized a strong freedom, where there is no constraint, he can make any action without scruple, and he can also fly in any direction.
This wonderful feeling is definitely not comparable to flying on earth.
When he took the plane, he clearly knew that he belonged to the iron shell under his buttocks.
But when flying freely, it''s totally different. It belongs to the sky.
In addition to this kind of feeling, flight has great tactical significance in combat.
Facing the enemy, Renault can come and go as soon as he wants, and no one can stop him; with the great advantage of mobility, he can choose the time of war at will, and has the absolute initiative.Seeing Renault''s fierce attack and faster than himself, the big bird was confused and flustered. It was the first time that he saw the flying "bipedal monster" in his short life.
And the flying state of this "bipedal monster" shocked it.
Why can the speed keep the same when flying upward?
Big bird has never read a book, and doesn''t know what kinetic energy is converted into gravitational potential energy, but it knows that a foreign bird knows common sense. If it flies upward, its speed will be reduced, even a bird of Warcraft level is no exception.
But this scene in front of us completely subverts its three outlooks, if it has three outlooks.
So at this moment, big bird panicked and immediately felt the idea of running away.
It deflected its wings, and its huge body turned a light angle in the air. It leaned forward and began to dive down rapidly, flying faster and faster.
It knows that the enemy''s speed is faster, if you want to escape successfully, you must improve the speed, at least not slower than the enemy.
Renault also adjusted his flight direction, increased the input of magic power, and the rune [wind] transformed more wind elements. He only felt his back was nudged, and his speed increased again, far faster than the big bird.
The air was whistling from Renault''s side, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer quickly. The big bird became more and more frightened. It fanned its wings desperately to fly faster.
But its efforts were futile, and the distance continued to narrow at a very stable speed.
When Renault approached the bird for more than 200 meters, he finally got a clear picture of this guy.
It looks more like the peregrine falcon on the earth, but it is many times larger, with a body length of more than 5 meters, a wingspan of nearly 12 meters, a gray black head and back, brown spots on the surface, and long tail feathers. It looks quite beautiful.
At this time, the bird suddenly raised its wings and slowed down. It seemed to know that it could not get rid of the enemy and gave up the plan to escape.
Two seconds later, Renault approached the bird 50 meters away, and the bird suddenly made a sharp turn, drawing a steep curve in the air.
According to the big bird''s idea, the enemy''s flying speed is so fast that if it suddenly changes direction, the enemy will pass by it.
It has to be said that this big bird is quite smart, and this kind of trick is also very skillful. It has a very accurate grasp of distance and timing. It is absolutely impossible for an old bird to do so well.
But Renault once again overturned its three concepts.
