Chapter 58: Capture
When the hybrid creature was transported to the city walls, it was not even dead, in fact it was originally composed of corpses, powered by necromancy, and it could not be defined in terms of life and death in the human sense, only that it was still able to move.
A closer look at the hybrid creature was even more disgusting and chilling, its torso was covered in rotten sores, and the carrion inside its body could be seen through the rough stitches, Rand guessed that the creature who created it must have had a strong mental capacity.
The arrow pierced through its body, stabbing it through its back and down to its chest, most importantly striking its vertebrae and shattering it, preventing the hybrid from supporting its torso with the strength of its legs, before it was captured by Rand.
"This guy's vitality is quite tenacious, and when I rushed over, it was still struggling to crawl forward in the snow. This kind of monster has never been seen in previous years. Iron Fist tied it with a rope, "but as it stands, despite its intimidating appearance, its defense and mobility are poor. ”
"But it can drive away wild beasts as well as herders drive their own sheep. Rand frowned, there was no alchemist or scientist in the Empty Crossing Realm so far, and it would probably not be easy to study the secrets of hybrid creatures.
The Dark Council, it seems that I underestimated this organization, whether it is using black magic or other technology, it can actually resurrect corpses and implant intelligence, and this technology alone is enough to shock most people's jaws.
"Crazy people are terrible, a group of crazy people are even more terrible, a group of crazy people with strange skills can make everyone fear their existence. Rand looked up at the Arctic Mountains beyond the city walls, and beneath that calm surface, there were many hidden beings beyond human comprehension.
......
"The strength of mana is not directly related to the amount of mana you have," Snow took off his inseparable pitch-black cloak at this time, put on the uniform that Rand had prepared for him, and looked like an old professor, he gestured with his hands in the air, "The explosion of mana needs the right channel." ”
"For example, the energy generated in the lake is different from that generated in the waterfall of the same capacity of the water source, and the potential energy of the waterfall to the water source is more impactful than the water source in the lake, and this process is what I just said, the channel!"
"If the water source is converted into magic, then when using the magic, it is necessary to use the appropriate channel or method to make the same magic power have a greater effect. ”
"You mean, concentration?" Oak was very serious about his studies, he cherished this learning opportunity, although he was a little concerned about Snow's status in the Dark Council, Oak was a very smart child, he could recognize his goal in senseless hatred, and being blinded by hatred and red eyes was not what he should be doing now.
Grasp all opportunities to learn, and quickly make yourself stronger, this is the purpose of Oak.
"Including but not limited to, concentrated, the same volume of water, splashed directly on the human body and compressed to form a column of water hitting the human body, the pain felt is undoubtedly more intense. But this is only the most basic combat capability, and I want to talk about something more in-depth. Snow raised his hand in the air and said, "You must always pay attention to the changes in the environment around you, look at the direction of the wind and the distribution of the ground or buildings, the flames can use the wind or fuel to increase their strength, and try to avoid fighting people in the terrain near the water source." ”
"These factors that can affect the strength of one's magic power can all be called channels. ”
"The magic will be enhanced by the right channels, and the opposite will not be satisfactory, and before you learn to fight, you must learn how to discern which channels are suitable for your abilities. Snow explained very carefully, and there are also demons in the Dark Council who can use fire abilities, so Snow specially returned to the Arctic Mountains and asked him to write down a piece of experience, and handed it to Oak without reservation.
"Factors?" Oak's mood was a little difficult to calm down, and then as if he had thought of something, he asked, "Is there also restraint between magic?"
"There is no absolute restraint, it just varies from person to person. Even if the water source is inherently resistant to flames, when the fire grows to a certain extent, the water cannot extinguish the flames, but will be incinerated into steam. Snow explained, "The strength of magic depends on the strength of the person with the ability, and the chain of restraint is not impossible to break. ”
As Snow was about to say something, there was a knock on the door, and a soldier in the uniform of the air collar pushed open the door and saluted Snow, "Sir, my lord, please go to the fortress wall. ”
The town of wooden houses is the last bastion of the empty ferry territory, and the city wall is naturally the fortress wall.
Snow knew Rand's character, and if nothing strange happened, he wouldn't have called him away from Orc's class, remembering his agreement with Rand, he didn't dare to delay, and was ready to rush over with the soldiers.
"Oak, review the lesson I've just taught yourself, and I'll quiz you regularly. Snow instructed Oak, but felt that his words lacked deterrence, and added: "If you are not qualified, I will report your results to your lord!"
......
Snow nervously followed the soldiers behind him and hurried towards the fortress, from the conversation with the soldiers just now, he learned that just half an hour ago, the fortress wall had been hit by a beast tide, although the beast tide was fierce, but the soldiers took advantage of the terrain and weapons, and did not do much damage.
It's just like catching some kind of strange creature.
Snow had been in a tense state since he heard the news, his palms clenched and let go, and he kept wiping the sweat from his palms on his coat.
"No way, they can't be so fast......" Snow muttered to himself.
The soldier in charge of guiding the way noticed Snow's abnormal state, and thought that he was frightened by the beast tide, and comforted him kindly: "Those brutes can't break through our defense line at all, their attack is just to send us resources, you don't have to worry at all, maybe we can eat barbecue wolf meat at night!"
Snow barely smiled at him, according to the soldier's description, he could almost determine that the creature that was caught was the result of the living experiments that Right Court had been studying in recent years, but their progress was inevitably too fast, according to Snow's conjecture, this kind of biotechnology would not be completed until at least three years later.
"Hopefully I guessed wrong!"
