Chapter 354: Dragon Tendon
Although he knew that Yiren couldn't catch up with him, Wu Zhongyuan ran fast, what is called a thief's weak heart, that is, he had to leave the crime scene quickly, the sooner the better.
After flying for a while, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten Li Bei, and turned around sharply, only to find that Li Bei appeared ten miles away to the west, urging the aura to chase after him.
Seeing that Li Bei followed, Wu Zhongyuan did not stay and wait, but continued to fly eastward, but the speed was not as fast as before, at least so that Li Bei could see him.
A moment later, Wu Zhongyuan left the land and came to the top of the water, during which he kept holding the wick of the oil lamp, and when he got here, he couldn't hold it, the wick had not been extinguished, and the temperature of his palm had been rising, and his hands had begun to burn.
In desperation, they can only change hands, no matter how fast the speed of changing hands is, it is impossible to achieve seamless connection, it is inevitable that there will be light, at this time there are still a small number of Yi people squatting near the mouth of the sea, Wu Zhongyuan did not find them, but they saw Wu Zhongyuan, to be precise, they saw the purple light emitted by the oil lamp, this thing emits purple light, the recognition is too high, you can know what it is at a glance, seeing that the everlasting lamp in the ancestral tomb was stolen, it was repaid, and they grabbed bows and arrows and shot at the sky.
Due to the long distance, most of the arrows flew halfway and fell to the end, only a huge arrow with a long rope flew closer, Wu Zhongyuan moved horizontally, calmly dodged, and urged the Qinglong Armor to fly to the east.
When he got to the sea, the Yi people couldn't help him, Wu Zhongyuan looked back and saw that those Yi people couldn't shoot him, and began to shoot arrows at Li Bei, Li Bei volleyed in the air, avoided everything, and flew towards him.
Seeing this situation, Wu Zhongyuan complained bitterly, and wanted to dive into the water and extinguish the wick with the help of seawater, but as soon as this idea emerged, he was denied by himself, the oil lamp is full of lamp oil, if it is mixed with seawater, it is not easy to use.
In desperation, he could only urge the Qinglong Armor to move quickly to the north, and after changing hands several times, he found a rule, the faster the speed of movement, the weaker the light emitted by the oil lamp when changing hands, and determined this, and urged the Qinglong Armor to the limit, the so-called limit is only the limit of his reaction speed, in fact, the Qinglong Armor can be faster.
As soon as the speed is fast, there is no time to change hands distractedly, and in the end he simply does not hold the wick, and concentrates on speeding up and flying, and the light emitted by the wick is very faint in the state of extreme speed, almost invisible to the naked eye.
Due to the acceleration to an unprecedented speed, strange things happened, and the original whistling sound of breaking the wind gradually turned into a low dragon groan, and at the same time, a cyan dragon-shaped wave appeared on the periphery of the green dragon armor, and it rushed from mid-air as if the green dragon was riding the wind.
Qinglongjia appeared this kind of anomaly, although Wu Zhongyuan was unexpected, but it was not very unexpected, the accident was because he didn't expect that after wearing the Qinglong armor, the periphery of the Qinglongjia would be wrapped in dragon-shaped air waves when moving quickly to a certain speed, and he didn't feel very surprised because he had studied physics and knew that the phenomenon of sonic boom would occur when the plane was raised from subsonic speed to supersonic speed when flying, and the dragon-shaped sound of the dragon roar emitted by the Qinglongjia was essentially the sound of a sonic boom, and the dragon-shaped air wave was also a change in airflow caused by a sonic boom.
At first, Wu Zhongyuan was worried that the speed was too fast, and Li Bei couldn't keep up, so he thought about it, forget it, don't wait for Li Bei, go back to the stone room first, and let Li Bei run slowly from behind.
Men who like violent driving are not necessarily gentlemen, but men who like gentle driving must not be gentlemen, this kind of galloping, instantaneous speed makes Wu Zhongyuan's heart beat faster, adrenaline surges, and then there is excitement and excitement, people will become bolder when they are excited, Wu Zhongyuan is like this at this time, in fact, the current speed has far exceeded his reaction speed, but he is still accelerating, accelerating, accelerating again.
Excitement is true, excitement is true, Wu Zhongyuan has never lost his mind, he knows that he is taking a risk, but he also knows that his adventure is not very dangerous, because at this time there is no high-altitude and low-altitude air route, no matter how fast he flies, he will not hit the plane, and furthermore, the faster the speed, the louder the sound of the dragon moan made by the green dragon armor, if it is close at hand, this sound can directly shock people to death, that is, occasionally birds pass by from a distance, and they will avoid it early when they hear this shocking dragon moan.
If he was in a state of high excitement all the time, he would not be able to stand it, and it only lasted for half an hour, or it could be shorter, Wu Zhongyuan felt tired, and gradually slowed down, until he could clearly see the scenery in the mountains below.
Because it flew too fast before, I don't know when it crossed the sea, and after the speed slowed down, the wick began to glow purple again, Wu Zhongyuan was both curious and surprised, he didn't blow it out when he flew so fast before, what is the origin of this thing.
When he returned to Tianchi Volcano, it was not yet three watches, Wu Zhongyuan did not wait for Li Bie from the outside, he took off the Qinglong armor and entered the stone room with the oil lamp, he moved too fast before, Li Bie had been left far behind by him, and he would definitely not be able to come back before dawn.
After entering the stone room, Wu Zhongyuan put the oil lamp in front of the furnace, and it was only then that he found that the burden was cracked, and he eagerly inspected it, and found that although the burden was cracked a few times, the contents were not missing, and it was also a loss that he tied these iron tree arrows together, if they were scattered, they would have already fallen off in the previous state of rapid flying.
When the oil lamp burns, there is a hot gas, I have never worn the green dragon armor, I feel hot when I get too close, fortunately, the stone room is a place for smelting metal, and all kinds of metallurgical utensils are complete, after a short observation, Wu Zhongyuan got up and found a clip, and used the clip to pinch the wick and pull it up.
The wick is the thickness of a little finger, and I don't know if it was originally purple or soaked in purple oil, but it was purple, and when I pulled it out a little, the flame instantly became larger.
Seeing this situation, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly stopped, he had previously inspected a large number of dragon tendons in Yiren's stone building, and he also had a general understanding of the large tendons of snake creatures, the wick of this oil lamp was very similar to the dragon tendons, and it was likely to be a real dragon tendon.
If he just wanted the oil, he could just pull out the wick and throw it away, but now he wants to keep the wick, so he needs to find a way to extinguish the burning wick.
After a short period of silence, Wu Zhongyuan thought of a way, got up and moved an empty water tank, placed the oil lamp in it, and took a small copper plate cover to cover it, at this time people have begun to use the lost wax method to cast precision metal utensils, there are a large number of wax blocks in the stone room, take the wax blocks, melt the drips everywhere with fire, and seal them thoroughly.
No matter how miraculous things are, it is impossible to depart from the inherent laws of matter itself, combustion requires the consumption of oxygen, as long as it is in a vacuum environment, the wick will be extinguished.
Theoretically, this is the case, and the fact is that after the half-pillar incense, the oil lamp is extinguished, it should be extinguished, because the temperature of the water tank block has dropped.
Worried about the resurgence, Wu Zhongyuan did not rush to open the lid, and waited for a while, only then did he break the solidified wax seal, slowly lifted the lid, and did not see the purple light, indicating that the oil lamp was really extinguished.
Remove the lid, take the oil lamp out of the water tank, look closely, the end of the wick after extinguishing is a little black, rubbed by hand, crispy and broken, but the part that was pulled out before is very tough, whether it is a large tendon is easy to confirm, toughness and elasticity is.
Determined that the wick is indeed a dragon tendon, Wu Zhongyuan shifted his attention to the white metal covering the lamp mouth, before the first return he had made up for metallurgical common sense, through the naked eye, this white metal is somewhat like nickel alloy, nickel alloy is divided into many kinds, the most common is nickel steel alloy, which is commonly known as stainless steel, the biggest feature of this metal is anti-oxidation, using it to seal the lamp oil can prevent oxidation and deterioration to the greatest extent, but this metal is obviously not a simple nickel steel alloy, which should also be mixed with some other unknown metals。
This piece of metal is not of great significance to Wu Zhongyuan, what he cares about is the dragon tendon that acts as the wick, the wick will be slowly worn out in the process of burning, the tendon is actually a ligament, it will shrink seriously after peeling, and the degree of contraction of the ligaments of different kinds of animals is not the same, most of the dragon tendons he examined before are between seven feet and nine feet long, the length of the common bow and arrow is about one meter five, that is, nearly five feet, the normal ratio of the bow and the bowstring is how long the bow is, how long the bowstring must be.
The wick was already cold, so he pulled it out directly, pulled it out a little, looked down at the palm, and the residual grease on the palm was white, which meant that the dragon tendon itself was purple.
After pulling out two feet, Wu Zhongyuan began to get nervous, the dragon tendons didn't seem to be seriously damaged, there was enough possibility, the reason why he was nervous was because there was hope, if there was no hope, there was no need to be nervous.
Again, and.
Three feet.
Four feet.
Four feet later, Wu Zhongyuan held his breath and slowed down, he could feel that there was not much left of the dragon tendons coiled in the oil lamp, if it was gone at this time, it would be a pity.
No matter how slow it is, the end of the dragon tendon still appears, because the dragon tendon was coiled in the oil lamp before, and after pulling it out, it was in a bent state, he was not sure whether the dragon tendon was enough, the only thing he could be sure of was that if it was enough, it was just enough, and if it was not enough, it was only a fraction of a millimeter.
The most intuitive way to judge whether it is enough is to use the spare bow body to compare, if the length of the dragon tendon can be equal to or exceed the length of the bow body, it is enough, and vice versa.
The layman may think that the bow is straight and shrinks in size when bent, so the bowstring can be slightly shorter than the straight bow, but this is not the case, because it also involves wrapping around the ends of the bow, and it takes two or three turns at each end.
The result of the comparison made Wu Zhongyuan break out in a cold sweat, not because it was not enough, but because it was just enough, and there was no half an inch left, and it was dangerous.
The size is enough, but it is too much to use, and you need to try, take two spare arrows, roll one end of each, and try to pull.
Pull.
Infuse the aura and pull again.
With all your might, continue to pull.
At this moment, Wu Zhongyuan was very nervous, this ever-bright lamp has been lit for many years, and the dragon tendon has also been soaked for many years, he is very afraid that the dragon tendon will break, but he has to use all his strength, he can't deceive himself, at this time, he doesn't have to pull with all his strength, and there is a possibility that the enemy will collapse in the future.
After more than ten seconds of pulling and inspecting, Wu Zhongyuan slowly lowered his hand and let out a sigh of relief.
Usable ......
