Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 26: Theory of evolution
In this world, due to the extreme lack of ways to disseminate knowledge, it is very difficult for most people to acquire knowledge, or it is too expensive for ordinary people to bear, illiteracy abounds, and society as a whole is in a state of ignorance.
Even Angela and Moos are not much better. Although Angela is the daughter of a great nobleman, it was only before the age of 8 that she completely lost the learning environment after her family broke up and she was only recruited by the nobleman. The awakened samurai, his own knowledge is very limited, let alone teaching girls.
Before crossing, Renault was baptized by all kinds of information and fragmented knowledge. In terms of the breadth of knowledge, it far surpassed everyone in this world!
So when the poisonous insect's behavior was abnormal, the two of them didn't notice it, but Renault quickly noticed it.
Renault can judge the behavior of poisonous insects for only one reason: in the non-breeding season, all animals behave extremely cautiously!
Because all the careless animals have died, their genes have not been passed down, and they are often eliminated naturally from generation to generation. However, all living creatures have the word "caution" in their every cell.
Darwin's theory of evolution is the truth on earth, and it is also one of the highest laws in this world!
Under normal circumstances, if two powerful predators meet, they will not fight easily, unless one party has absolute certainty. Most of the time, they will only test each other and then retreat to find a simpler one. prey.
The reason is simple, they are afraid of injury!
For them, the consequences of injury can be very serious. In the dangerous wild, injury is very likely to lead to death.
Because injury will greatly affect their hunting. Difficulty in hunting means that it is difficult to obtain enough food. They will become weaker and weaker. The weaker they are, the more difficult hunting will be. In this way, the vicious cycle continues, and only waiting for them Death, so it is not a last resort, they will never take risks.
This is the same for poisonous insects. Its two major weapons-poison mist spray and venom spray, are completely restrained by Renault's heat shield, and the weapons in the hands of the three are very sharp enough to damage it, which means that both sides In a evenly matched position.
Moose's epee throw has fully proved this point, isn't it afraid of the enemy throwing it again? Moreover, the enemy is prepared, and the next time it may not be missed.
Although the poisonous insects had snatched the magical vegetation of the most precious treasure, it was not worth it to risk its own life.
According to this logical deduction, after the poisonous insect found that it could not help the other party, even if it was angry, it would only choose to retreat, and the two sides would stop fighting.
But did it fall back?
No!
Not only did it not retreat, even when the venom sprayed less and less, it actually entangled the three people tightly! This shows that in the consciousness of poisonous insects, it thinks it has a way to kill three people, and there is not much risk!
So Renault immediately judged that the poisonous bug had another trick!
There is also a relatively small possibility, that is, it is deliberately delaying time, waiting for the arrival of its companions, because there are too many "mines" buried near the magic plant before, and it may be caused by multiple poisonous insects.
However, considering that poisonous insects are powerful hunters, he is more inclined to think that poisonous insects must have no attack methods available.
So what will the poisonous bug do?
What else can I do? Of course it is to break through the heat shield and fight melee with the three!
How will it break through? There is only one answer left-in the air!
In other words, it will choose to skip the heat shield!
In order for Renault to save mana, the height of the heat shield is only 3 meters high. For the poisonous insects that are amazing in speed and flexibility, it is not difficult to cross the heat shield.
Therefore, after this series of logical deductions, Renault successfully judged the next step of the poisonous insects and arranged the traps in advance.
After a few more seconds, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the corpse of the poisonous insect, and the "Book of Thermodynamics" in Renault's body appeared for the first time, and the black shadow was quickly sucked into the book.
Renault discovered that the "Book of Thermodynamics" has another magical effect, which is to judge whether the enemy is pretending to be dead. The enemy can hide it from his eyes, but it absolutely cannot hide the "Book of Thermodynamics", which desperately desires "soul".
He concentrated his spirit into the soul space. He clearly felt that the spiritual power and magic power contained in the dark shadow of the soul was almost twice that of the black orc awakened. Obviously, the poisonous insect is a more powerful creature than the awakened.
"The Book of Thermodynamics" quickly turned over the first page, revealing the second page. A strong golden light instantly enveloped the pages, and the entire page looked like pure gold.
The page trembles for a moment, then it turns automatically!
The second page opens!
The golden light gathered into an extremely bright light belt, winding and flowing, like the brushstrokes of the gods, instantly sketching a group of brand-new golden runes on the pages of the book, arranged in a mysterious array.
Renault's eyes widened, and a new skill unexpectedly appeared.
After the rune array was fully formed, the golden light slowly dissipated, and the fluctuations in the soul space also subsided.
After the mental power was connected to the rune array, Renault immediately understood the effect of this new skill, and he laughed from ear to ear.
"The Book of Thermodynamics" returned a part of energy, his mana instantly recovered 10%, and the upper limit of mana and mental power increased by nearly 30% again.
After a moment of excitement, Renault withdrew from the extremely cold area, and the temperature around the poisonous insect's body quickly returned to normal, but the body was already frozen hard.
Renault slashed the corpse vigorously with his own cross sword again, and found that the hardness was almost the same as that of a stone, and could not be cut at all. He shook his head helplessly, and Angela couldn't help but chuckle.
Moose walked around the corpse a few times, staring directly at the 8 emerald-like spikes on the back of the poisonous insect. He looked at it carefully for a while and found that the spikes showed no signs of freezing at all. This shows that the spikes are entities. There is no moisture inside, and it seems to be made of the same substance.
Moose curiously folded a branch from a nearby shrub and brought it close to the spike. The moment the two touched, the skin of the branch actually began to turn black!
Moose was taken aback, this spike is also a highly toxic substance!
No wonder that poisonous insect dared to jump over to fight with them. It turned out that in addition to poison gas, it had this kind of weapon. Even if the three of them escaped the poison gas by chance, the poisonous insect's movements were so agile, it was definitely not difficult to hit them with a poisonous stinger.
Renault and Angela also noticed this scene. The three looked at each other, and they all had some lingering fears. If Renault hadn't discovered the poisonous insect's plot in time, the three might not escape bad luck.
