Online Game: Island War
Chapter 31: The beard is the body of the dwarf
Although Lei Jiu and the others were endowed with the ability to float in the air by flying thaumaturgy, but without the resistance provided by the earth, even if they stepped in the air, they could not walk.
Neither the direction of movement nor the speed of movement can be controlled. If there is a strong wind at this time, it is estimated that they will all be blown away.
The control of the movement direction and speed is all in the hands of the nicotine caster.
In fact, it is only to maintain a few people floating, and the magic power consumed is not very large, but at the same time as floating, whether it is up and down, or forward and backward, the consumption of magic power will increase in a curve. The faster the movement speed, the higher the consumption. The more exaggerated.
From the perspective of efficiency, the faster the speed, the better, so as to reduce the time spent on the road.
But in order to allow the nicotine to retain enough magic power to send them back, this is naturally not advisable. So now they can only travel at three times the speed of the paddle boat.
The goal of their trip is to take Huanghuang Island as the radius and the largest island within 20 kilometers (the undercurrent blockade outside the first island chain is 8 kilometers away from Huanghuang Island).
Half an hour later, the group arrived at the No. 2 island in Lei Jiu's mouth. Because sooner or later it would be merged into Huanghuang Island, so he chose the name of the island very casually.
Like the four little islands in the first island chain, except for Island 1, they were not even qualified to name them with numbers.
Moreover, names such as No. 1 and No. 2 can be used repeatedly. The original No. 1 and No. 2 islands have been merged, and new ones will be added. Anyway, this code name only represents the fusion priority in Lei Jiu's mind. Spend.
"By the way, how high can you fly with nicotine?"
Obviously, Lei Jiu asked about nicotine itself, not flying thaumaturgy. Because of the flying height limit of flying thaumaturgy, he had asked before, and the answer was 10,000 meters, which was high enough.
If you let someone who doesn't have enough magic power use it, it is likely to fly up and fall down freely.
"What about me? The current state...about 10 meters. If you untie the connection with the magic lamp, you can fly up to about 1,000 meters!"
10 m?
Lei Jiu shook his head, the height of 10 meters is simply impossible to overlook and investigate, and there should not be too many trees over 20 to 30 meters high on the island.
1000 meters is definitely enough, at least the field of vision is wide enough, but unfortunately, once the nicotine is disconnected from the magic lamp, he has to provide at least one magic crystal of nicotine every week, so that he can use it to maintain normal condensation.
Magic crystals are a very rare mineral, usually found in elemental crystal mines, and there is a chance of accompanying them.
Elemental crystal ore itself is very rare. As its possible associated ore, the rarity of magic crystal can be imagined.
Obviously, Lei Jiu can't get the magic crystal, so it's impossible to liberate nicotine, Canni!
Seeing that it was almost noon, and there was no time to tangle, everyone started the exploration journey of Island No. 2.
After all, this island is much larger than Island No. 1. Although it cannot be calculated accurately for a while, it is certain that it is more than 10 square kilometers.
The area that needs to be explored is large, and with the addition of Nangong Ding, a mage who is physically retarded, even if they are only exploring in general, they must hurry up and try to return to the paddle boat before it gets completely dark. .
The terrain of Island No. 2 can be roughly divided into two parts, most of which are mountainous areas. In the southern part of the mountainous areas, there is a valley plain that occupies one-fifth of the total area.
The landing site of Lei Jiu and his party was on the north side of the mountain.
This mountain is larger than the entire island No. 1, but there are not many animal resources. Whether it is herbivorous or carnivorous, even birds are basically invisible, and there is no trace of monsters. People are very puzzled.
"Strange!"
After discovering three springs in a row, Lei Jiu couldn't help but speak up.
"Yes... indeed, yes, huh... there is plenty of water, lush... vegetation, insects... it seems... not too small, but... rarely seen Birds and beasts!"
Just after crossing the top of the mountain, Nangong Dian was already out of breath from exhaustion.
"Nangong, should Luo Zheng carry you on your back?" Seeing that Nangong Ding collapsed beside a sloping tree, Lei Jiu couldn't help but speak.
"No... No need! If you carry me behind your back, if there is... an emergency, it will... hinder Luo Zheng!"
But when you stop like this, it is very difficult to get up again. You have too little experience in mountain climbing.
"Islander, something is wrong!"
"Um?"
"I wasn't too sure just now, but at this location, there are obviously many traces left behind!"
"What traces?"
"Traces of hunting!"
"Is there anyone on this island?"
"It should be, but there is one thing I can't figure out."
"What is it?"
"The height of these traces is surprisingly short, more like the creation of some children, strange!"
little child?
Lei Jiu immediately flashed two thoughts in his mind, halfling or dwarf?
......
Ten minutes later, Nangong Ding was finally able to stand up by himself, and the four of them set off again, "Everyone, be careful when moving forward!"
Just as Lei Jiu's reminder came out, his voice seemed to be the guidance of a prophecy, and a rustling sound suddenly sounded in the woods on both sides, and it continued.
Although I don't know what it is, it is obvious that I can understand that the number will not be small.
Everyone quickly adjusted their formations. Luo Zheng was in front, Nangong Dian and Nicotine defended the left and right flanks. Lei Jiu, naturally, stayed in the middle.
Although he claims that his combat skills are not weak, even if he is the great **** among the players, he has the confidence to make two moves. Of course, the premise is that the attributes and equipment of both sides are similar.
But he is only level 0 at this time, his attributes are too low, and his opponent is an NPC. Unless he is a scumbag like an ordinary small-sized beast, he will rush up, and he may not even have a chance to make a move, so he will be directly attacked. Spike.
Just after taking the defense, more than a dozen beards popped out of the woods.
These bearded men were all dressed in commoner clothes and iron helmets. They had strong muscles, and each of them carried a large hammer in their hands. If they weren't all about 1.1 meters tall, they would have been quite frightening.
With such a height and a full beard, yes, these are dwarves.
The lifespan of halflings is generally not more than 30 years old~lightnovelpub.net~ So even if they are about the same height as dwarves, halflings are very "soft-faced" and never grow beards.
In contrast, dwarves especially like to grow beards.
Because of customs, female dwarves generally do not go out to leave the settlement, and male dwarves have a big beard, so in people's cognition, beards have directly become the standard of dwarves.
Looking at the faces buried in the beards, I can't see the appearance at all, and I don't know how the dwarves distinguish their identities. Could it be that the beard is the body?
But in Lei Jiu's eyes, there seems to be no difference between their beards!
The reason why Lei Jiu still has time to think about it is entirely because he has been paying attention to the expressions of Luo Zheng and Nangong Dian.
Obviously, even though there are more dwarves than them, it is not enough to compare their combat power.
"How about it?"
"Island owner, although I don't know what race they are, I'm sure that the responsibility of these little people is to be in charge of hunting."
It was Luo Zheng who spoke, and he should be more familiar with this aspect.
A dwarf hunting party?
No wonder there are not many animals on the island. They were all eaten up by these dwarfs. Don't these guys with muscles growing into their heads know about sustainable development?
You don't even know about keeping seeds, so don't even think about eating meat in the future.
"What kind of strength?"
"The combat power is generally around 30-40, which is similar to the ordinary islanders of Huanghuang Island. If we want to form a hunting team, with this kind of combat power, we will definitely not be able to get in."
Hey?
Isn't it better than a group of dwarves? With such a proud tone?
