Chapter 113: Magical Compound Eyes
Zhao Hao, who has become a giant praying mantis, continues to explore the efficacy of this transformation into a combat uniform.
The opening and closing forelimbs are very interesting, Zhao Hao's mind moved, and the left forelimb immediately closed to form a sickle shape, he could actually use this scythe to use the berserk knife technique. The right forelimb is closed to form a sharp cone, which looks like a drill bit.
Zhao Hao tried it against the wall, the sharp cone was staggering, and he quickly chiseled a hole.
He then parted his forelimbs to form two transparent claws. This is supposed to be a mutation after the evolution of the praying mantis, with two claws that are abnormally sharp, and can easily take out the heart in the human body.
Zhao Hao tested the mountain wall again, and the mountain wall was scratched with a few scratches, as if it had been cut by an iron hook.
"I'll strangle it, this claw is a bit of a nine-yin white bone claw!"
Zhao Hao was very excited, took out the ice and snow battle knife and tried it.
After this attempt, the problem arose.
The Nightcrawler's own talent for stealth is still different from the legendary stealth, as Scarlett said, it's more like a chameleon and the environment merging. To put it simply, the Nightcrawler himself can conceal his form, but the weapon in his hand cannot conceal it.
If there are bystanders at this moment, you will see a knife waving in mid-air, but you will not see the person dancing the knife.
"This can't be done, as soon as you use the weapon, you will be exposed. Experienced people can easily judge the position of my body based on the trajectory of the Ice and Snow Battle Knife, and it seems that this transformation suit is suitable for hand-to-hand combat. ”
Zhao Hao withdrew the war knife into the storage space, and suddenly noticed a more interesting phenomenon.
After the transformation, he took the light crystal back into the storage ring, but he could see everything around him clearly. There is no doubt that the Night Stalker lives up to its name, possessing a night vision ability that is too useful in a mine where you can't see your fingers.
What's even more bizarre is that Zhao Hao saw some strange scenes.
Including the dust jumping in the air when he walked, it showed a pattern.
Many people have had the experience of seeing countless small particles jumping in the air when the sun shines through the window. And in this place where there is no light, Zhao Hao also saw the dust.
This ability comes from the pair of eyes of the Night Stalker - compound eyes!
Compound eyes, which are unique to some insects and arthropods such as crustaceans. It is composed of most microeyes, each of which has cornea, crystal vertebrae, pigment cells, retinal cells, rods and other structures, and is an independent photoreceptor unit. Axons extend backward from the retinal cells and cross the basal membrane to form the optic nerve, forming an image of the many small eyes into a single image.
Even when the light is low, the pigment cells contract, and the light that enters through each compound eye can be refracted into the other eyelets in addition to the direct light reaching the rod, so that the rod in each nearby eye can feel the light refracted by several adjacent eyes. In this way, objects can be imaged in places with low light.
As a former high-level mutant creature, the compound eyes of the giant mantis have undergone two evolutions, which are different from the compound eyes of ordinary insects, or much more powerful than the eyes of ordinary insects.
Through this pair of compound eyes, Zhao Hao saw the trajectory of nearby objects.
Ordinary praying mantis is known as a mysterious assassin in nature, often hiding in the grass, two "big knives" held in front of the chest, as soon as they see a small insect, they wave the big knife. The poor little worm, before he could see the appearance of the murderer, entered the stomach of the praying mantis. The praying mantis's ability to hunt quickly is mainly due to its eyes.
According to scientists, when the small flying insect moves rapidly, its image moves rapidly in the compound eye of the praying mantis, from one small eye to another. Some small eyes see flying insects first, and some small eyes see flying insects later. They constantly send the image signals they receive to the brain, so the brain receives radio waves from the small eye.
The movement of the insects seen by the praying mantis glasses is not continuous, but composed of single shots, like fragments formed by film film. Therefore, the praying mantis can not only see the insects clearly, but also feel how fast and slow the insects are flying. Scientists believe that the eye is a superb speedometer that accurately calculates the speed of the worm's flight.
The mantis also has a strange neck, made up of many fibers. When the eyes of the praying mantis follow the flying insects, the head also turns. When the head is turned to the right, the fibers on the right side are bent and the fibers on the left side are straightened. The bottom of the fibers is connected to nerve cells, and their movement stimulates nerve cells, causing them to generate electrical signals that are sent to the brain, so that the angle of head rotation can be known.
Based on a joint report of the eyes and neck, the mantis' brain can measure the speed and angle of the insect's flight. When catching flying insects, the praying mantis always aims directly in front of the small insects and can catch the small flying insects in less than five percent of the seconds!
Through this pair of compound eyes, Zhao Hao found that he saw things with a function similar to "fast forward, pause", and through the image composed of thousands of small eyes, he was able to analyze the trajectory of the target clearly.
After figuring out the role of compound eyes, Zhao Hao was afraid for a while, if it weren't for the dual perception effects of the Nine Heavens and the Chaos Sutra, he wouldn't have been able to deal with this giant mantis at all, and it would have been impossible to save Xiao Xia and Scarlett when the mantis attacked.
"Bao, you take a few steps and try."
He summoned the red panda out, and this time Po was very cooperative, jumping on the spot a few times.
Zhao Hao used his compound eyes to take a look, and Ah Bao immediately became in slow motion, from the first time it jumped, to half a meter, and finally to the ground, its trajectory was divided into thousands of different slow-down images, like a slide composed of a large number of pictures. In other words, this red panda, which is very fast in the eyes of humans, is as if he is standing still in Zhao Hao's eyes, and he has a hundred ways to knock down the target in an instant!
"Awesome, my brother!"
Zhao Hao felt extremely shocked, with this compound eye, he felt that he could dodge the bullet!
The Night Walker's combat power and appearance are not as good as the Blood Demon Sword Demon, and it does not have its own Blood Drinking Demon Sword and Killing Sword Technique, nor does it have an evolution function. However, the concealment function and visual ability of this high-level mutant battle suit are incomparable to the Blood Phantom Sword Demon.
More importantly, with the help of the miraculous effect of compound eyes, Zhao Hao has a new understanding of the trajectory of various objects. Following this line of thought, there will come a time when his ontology is very likely to have a kind of predictive ability, and he can make judgments in advance at the moment when the opponent makes a move.
In short, this ability is a down-to-earth folk saying: As soon as your ass is cocked, the uncle knows that you are going to shit and pee!
"Will this ability to conceal be weakened in broad daylight? Just go outside and try it, if you can be invisible, Lao Tzu will run out of the Valley of Flames directly! Hmm, Xiao Xia, they are still trapped in the hole, will it be too unrighteous for me to run away alone? No matter, let's go outside the pit and try the effect first! ”
Zhao Hao made up his mind and rushed towards the entrance of the No. 3 pit.
