Chapter 3313 The Trial of the Big Fool (One Hundred and Sixteen)
Chapter 3313 The Trial of the Great Fool (One Hundred and Sixteen)
Elaine and Edmund traveled through the ice world on the second underground level of Atlantis.
To be precise, it should be one person and one spider...or a lion and a spider.
The young white lion man rides on the back of a spider that is frosty white in color and occasionally shows a silvery gray shell, acting as the so-called Spider Rider. This is probably one of the weirdest sights in the world.
In this world of ice, just walking on the road is full of dangers. Sharp and imperceptible ice spike traps may collapse at any time, throwing people into the floor of the extremely cold glacier. They occasionally fall in the howling cold wind, like bayonets.
Ice Edge - Every environmental crisis can easily kill people.
Even the cold itself is a threat. The frost-eating spider has long been accustomed to the cold and has nothing to fear. But Elaine is not like that. If he accidentally inhales too much cold air, his lungs will freeze and he will suffocate. Countermeasures
It is to wrap the head and neck with the holy cloth, and then wrap most of the face, leaving only a small slit for seeing. The holy cloth can change the material and color according to Elaine's thoughts, and now it is velvety.
The material is pure white. This allows it to keep warm to a certain extent while not easily exposing Elaine's location - after all, red is the most conspicuous color in this world of ice.
What he wants to avoid is the biggest threat in this world of ice. Compared with it, those environmental crises are not worth mentioning at all.
——Ice Feathered Serpent.
A venomous snake is already deadly enough. What if you add wings to it? This is the design philosophy of the Ice Feathered Serpent.
Countless blue-white feathered snakes fly in the air with their highly transparent wings, constantly looking for prey on the ground. Once they find prey, these venomous snakes will swarm in and attack them.
They will use their snake venom to anesthetize their enemies and kill them instantly. This frost snake venom is comparable to the venom of a frost-eating spider. As long as it comes into contact with the skin, it can quickly invade the body of a living thing through the pores, anesthetize the nervous system, and make people suffer from the effects of frost.
Eroded and gradually unable to move.
It feels like being frozen to death by the extreme cold, which is definitely not a pleasant experience.
The most terrifying thing is that Ice Feathered Snakes can spit this frost venom from a long distance. The way they spit venom is similar to shotguns. The farther the distance, the more dispersed the venom droplets are. And the dispersed venom droplets are still deadly, as long as they are touched
One drop and things become irreversible.
If there are only one or two ice-feathered snakes attacking, the venom is relatively easy to avoid. But if a large number of ice-feathered snakes attack at the same time, the venom they spray will turn into a rainstorm of venom, making it impossible to avoid.
Elaine couldn't remember how many times she had "died" in this world of ice.
Elaine, the white bear at that time, was very clumsy. He was attacked by an army of ice feathered snakes and "died". His anesthetized body was chewed away until only one head was left;
He also tried to sneak in and touch it, but he was still discovered by the ice-feathered snake army, and then he died a "tragic death", with only one head left;
After countless challenges and failures, Elaine the White Bear covered herself with a snow-white animal skin and crawled slowly on the ground in a low-key and shameful manner, ignorantly and clumsily.
All in all, he had never faced off against the Ice-Feathered Serpent army before, because there was no way he could fight, let alone win.
He didn't plan to fight them this time. It would be best if he could pass through this dangerous area without these monsters noticing.
Of course, Elaine is somewhat stronger now. He can use more moves, more equipment, and has more choices. If there is an emergency and he has to fight the Ice Feathered Serpent army, he has also come up with several ideas.
An emergency response plan.
By the way, the frost-eating spider that Edmund transformed into is itself a poisonous thing, and it seems that it is not afraid of the poison of the Ice-Feathered Serpent at all.
Those snake venoms cannot penetrate the hard shell of the giant spider and invade its body. The frost-eating spider is almost the natural enemy of the ice-feathered snake in the entire polar ecological environment, and venomous snakes have absolutely nothing to do with it.
In other words, even if Elaine's body was poisoned by frost snake venom and unable to move, Edmund (should) still be able to carry Elaine to escape, retreat to a safe place, or rush straight to the entrance to the next level.
In Elaine's memory, there should be no big boss guarding the bottom of the level in the Ice World. The "Water World" on the previous level was guarded by storm slimes, but the "Ice World" on this level was guarded by storm slimes.
No, probably because the Ice-Feathered Serpent army is inherently difficult to deal with?
But Elaine always evaded and sneaked past in a low-key manner. Maybe he was just too lucky to not alert the big boss here. Will Elaine, who is riding on the back of the spider this time, have the same luck?
Woolen cloth?
Although Edmund moved very slowly and very low-key under Elaine's instructions, his transformation into a frost-eating spider was always a big guy. If the spider's legs were not included, it was as big as a cow.
If the legs are included, it occupies an area as large as three cows, which is quite conspicuous in this world of ice.
Even if they have "white" as their protective color, this world of ice is not white. The surrounding ice is closer to blue or dark blue. If you look down from the sky to the ground, what those Ice Feathered Serpents should see is ice.
, and the color of the glacier under the highly transparent ice should gradually turn into dark blue with the depth of the glacier. And Edmund and Elaine are equivalent to small white blocks moving in this dark blue, how can they not be conspicuous.
Thinking of this, Elaine couldn't help but feel a little worried. His previous experience of using a white animal skin as a cover and sneaking all the way to the past might be wrong. Maybe he should change the color of the holy cloth again, cover himself with dark blue, and
Let the holy shroud also cover Edmund's upper body.
But he didn't do it in the end. It should be said that he didn't want to act rashly. There was a strange thing that made him quite puzzled. Since he used to wear a white animal skin, which was very conspicuous in this world of ice, but he could still successfully sneak through, whether
Does this mean that the Ice Feathered Serpents cannot see the "white" on the ground?
Maybe in the eyes of those monsters, there is no difference between white and ice blue?
…Or maybe they don’t see with their eyes at all?
Thinking about it now, Elaine seems to have read in an encyclopedia when she was a child that snakes seem to be blind and have very poor eyesight. In order to make up for their lack of eyesight, they have other sensory organs that can sense heat sources.
That organ... I remember it seems to be their tongue. When snakes stick out their tongues, they use the powerful temperature detector on their tongue to detect changes in surrounding heat. It is simply a natural "infrared heat detector".
Elaine, the stupid white bear man at the time, may not have been able to see the problem, but now Elaine, the young white lion man, has a higher standard of thinking and gradually figured out what was going on.
Perhaps ice feathered snakes, like ordinary venomous snakes, have extremely poor eyesight and rely on heat energy to locate targets.
So back then, Elaine was wearing an animal skin and crawling on the ground, which to a large extent covered up the heat emitted by himself. He crawled against the ice, and his body was also losing heat, and he almost died.
Although he froze to death, he was lucky enough to avoid the eyes and ears of the Ice-Feathered Serpent army.
And this also explains the reason for his several failed stealth attempts. When he was full and then challenged the ice world, his body temperature rose, and he was naturally discovered; he was impatient, and crawled too fast, causing his body temperature to rise, and he was naturally discovered.
; He was too panicked, his heartbeat accelerated and his body temperature rose, and he was also discovered.
Only when he was hungry and cold, and almost gave up the struggle, and relied on his remaining will to crawl through the area tenaciously, was his body temperature kept at a certain low level, and he was not killed by the Ice Feathered Serpent army.
Discover.
It must be like this. This is the only reasonable explanation... What an irony.
Edmund suddenly moved greatly, as if to remind Elaine something.
In fact, Elaine also noticed it without Edmund reminding him. As he expected, because the heat source was always very strong, there was no reason why their existence should not be exposed. The white lion boy was wrapped in a holy cloth that could absorb heat energy, and the frost bite
The body temperature of spiders is also relatively low (but these monsters have heating organs in their bodies and are not completely cold-blooded animals), so their whereabouts are revealed relatively slowly.
"Then, let's get started." Elaine took a deep breath, and what was supposed to come would come. This time, she could only face off against the Ice Feathered Serpents.
"I, I am responsible for the defense above my head, and I leave the attack to you." He said, raising two large shields at the same time.
One side is naturally a shield transformed by Mysterdin, and the other side is a large shield formed by the unfolding of the Luna Steel sword. The sword is also smeared with flame rosin to offset the venom of the Ice Feathered Serpent.
chill.
After the two shields are unfolded, they are like two huge protective umbrellas, protecting Elaine and Edmund underneath them. But the protective umbrellas are not perfect yet. The venom rain from the Ice Feathered Serpents may splash in from the front and rear gaps.
Hitting Elaine who was defending with her shield.
Therefore, attacking is more important than blindly defending. Only by relying on attack to suppress the opponent's attack can it be possible to survive this dangerous situation.
The frost-eating spider is said to be the natural enemy of the Ice-Feathered Serpent, and Elaine really wants to see how powerful it is.
Then Edmund launched the offensive first. It should be said that he launched the offensive while running. The six spider legs kept moving at high speed, and on the premise of not being surrounded, he manipulated the highly transparent frost spider silk to send them
Throw it into the air.
The spider silk controlled by telekinesis crisscrosses in mid-air, escaping and fluttering as if alive. It seems harmless, but in fact it can stick to enemies in the air on a large scale. The viscosity of the spider silk is extremely high, and its toughness is also comparable to that.
The stickiness is directly proportional to the stickiness. As long as a tiny spider thread sticks to the enemy, it will be difficult for the enemy to break free. What's more, the size of the ice feathered snake is similar to that of a normal venomous snake, and even smaller than that of a venomous snake - because they want to
You have to reduce your weight when you fly - this is when the disadvantage of being too small becomes apparent.
Elaine watched as dozens and hundreds of ice feathered snakes began to struggle in the air, flapping their wings desperately, unhappy and even impatiently trying to break away from the entanglement of the spider silk, but they were gradually entangled more and more tightly. In the spider silk
Pulled down, these deadly poisonous snakes began to use up their strength and fall feebly to the ground. Many of them fell into the glacier and instantly became crunchy ice floes on the river. Some of them fell directly to the ground full of ice.
In the trap of spiked ice needles, his flesh and blood were bruised.
How come it seems... so simple??
Facing the power of the frost-eating spider, those little snakes are completely helpless against Elaine and the others?
Although it is said that the frost-eating spider is the natural enemy of the ice-feathered snakes, is this situation too exaggerated?
Oh, right. Because it's Edmund. Because Edmund is different from ordinary frost-eating spiders, and different from Warcraft, he has his own intelligence.
Because of their poor IQ, the Warcraft cannot maximize their abilities, but Edmund can manipulate spider silk with telekinesis as delicately and flexibly as he does now, which is the best proof.
——The combination of human high IQ and the powerful physical strength of Warcraft turns Edmund into a real monster.
