Chapter 40 Positioning
"Teacher Kidd once said that no one will take the initiative to send gold coins to you." Thea got straight to the point and offered her opinion: "Something must have happened in the Cold Plains. I suggested that it would be best to go back to the camp and tell the teachers about it. If these demonic creatures do have a mutation, the camp can also be prepared early. ”
"Well, you have to be prepared." Fuya nodded vigorously, dizzy.
"Did Master Kidd ever say that the greater the risk, the greater the gain?" Lan Wu smiled but didn't answer, and asked rhetorically.
"The greater the risk, the greater the gain?" Thea chewed on the words, her eyes getting brighter and brighter.
Lan Wu smiled and took out the bane gray short stick from the space bag. He played with the bane ash and explained with great interest: "I believe you all know this bane ash short stick in my hand. But you won't believe that this dark gold baton is the equipment that I, and the three of Flora and Erin have killed the bloody black explosion. ”
"It can't be." Xia shook her head categorically: "With the magic power of the blood crow, you can't condense such high-level magic equipment. The teacher had studied with Master Kane. The demonic energy contained in the body of a demonic creature or an undead creature determines the level of condensed equipment. As long as a fifth-level professional deals with it carefully, the blood crow is not an opponent at all. How could it possibly condense dark gold equipment? ”
"We're not lying." Flora protested loudly, very angry: "This is what we exploded after killing the blood crow in the cave outside the Blood Wasteland. ”
"In the future, the protest will be to the point." Lan Wu sighed, stopped Flora's protest, and added, "This matter is complicated. First of all, we don't know why the blood crow went to the cave and burned the corpse as a companion. Secondly, we killed it twice. For the first time, it burst out of the Eye of Courage dagger in Flora's hand. The second time it burst out of the bane ash stick. If the level of the first blood crow is 1. Then the second time it has a rating of at least 10. ”
Thea's eyes widened in astonishment as if she had heard a book from heaven. She asked in surprise, "Just killing the blood crow got two dark gold weapons?" ”
"Thea, you're misheard." Fuya blushed and secretly tugged at the corner of Thea's clothes. She was ashamed of her sister's reaction.
"Ahem." Xiya's face flushed a little, and she quickly changed the topic: "I mean that the magic level of the blood crow has reached the point where it can condense dark gold weapons?" ”
"Not bad." Lan Wu smiled, suddenly restrained his smile, and solemnly reminded: "I don't know if other professionals have encountered such a change. But I think it's up to us to look into it. If these demonic creatures all mutate and become more powerful than before, it will be an absolute disaster for the camp's professionals. ”
"I agree with the benefactor." Avila changed her previous casualness and addressed Lan Wu in a respectful tone for the first time.
"So what should we do now?" Thea did not insist on her own opinion, and immediately raised the main issue of the moment.
Lan Wu crouched down, picked up a small pebble and drew a map on the dirt. He used the distance of small pebbles to represent the position of the circular symbol of the teleportation array more than ten centimeters away, looked up and analyzed, "We are here now. ”
Then he drew and briefly analyzed: "This area is the area we have cleared. This area is the same as before, and those demonic creatures have not become stronger. But from here......"
He focused on a point on the map: "This is the woods we just walked through." From here, we can see that they are getting stronger. In other words, they don't all get stronger, but they weaken little by little. The closer they are to the teleportation array, the weaker they become. This would be tantamount to saying that there had been an anomaly somewhere in the Icy Plains, causing the demonic creatures around it to become more powerful. The first thing we need to look for is the source of this anomaly. ”
Hearing this, the three of Avila frowned. The Icy Plains are vast. If you want to walk, you may not be able to enter the stone wilderness after walking for months on end. Nuo is a cold field, how to find the source of the mutation.
"It's actually quite simple." Lan Wu was full of pride. Knowledge is power. Knowledge is the best tool for prestige. He enjoyed the three of Avila, no, along with Flora and Erin's blank gazes, and began to educate them: "Now that we are in this position, we have to go in this direction next. Until it is discovered that their strength is the same as that of the demonic creatures they are currently encountering. Then we went this way again, again until they were as strong as the three giant beasts they had just been, and then stopped. ”
Lan Wu sketched a circle on the simple map, then started at the team's current position to the other end of the circle, then turned in the other direction, and also drew a vertex on the circle. He drew a straight line from each of the three vertices through the center of the circle, and then tapped the center of the circle harder, and looked up at Avila and the others: "This is the destination we are looking for." I believe the source of that mutation is here. ”
Although the Avila have not been exposed to geometry, they are not stupid. They quickly understood Lan Wu's intentions.
The demonic creatures on the Icy Plains have undergone varying degrees of mutation, apparently because of the source of the mutation. Where is the source of the mutation, and the strength of the demonic creatures around it from near to far also changes. As long as you make sure that the strength of the demonic creatures in the three locations is the same, and then draw a circle on the map with these three locations as the apex, you can calculate the center of the circle, which is the location of the source of the mutation.
It's a simple idea.
Piercing the last layer of window paper, Avila and the others suddenly realized, and looked at Lan Wu's eyes with more and more reverence. Who could have come up with such an easy way to determine the location of the source of the anomaly.
Lan Wu smiled without saying a word, calmly accepting their reverent gaze. Isn't the advantage of the traverser reflected in the asymmetry of knowledge?
The team set off again. With the method provided by Lan Wu, the team is fully firepowered, in order to estimate the location of the source of the mutation in the shortest possible time. Lan Wu also gave up his plan to paddle and mix experience, and started the bear man transformation throughout the whole process, leading the team to crush all the way.
Because this method is too crude.
He had to minimize the influence of other factors as much as possible. In order to find out the location of the demonic creature of the same strength more accurately, the only way to find the other two vertices in the shortest possible time was to fire at full fire. He doesn't have a lot of time.
Ten days.
It only took ten days for Gross to travel back and forth between Camp Rogge and Roegain. He had to get back to the camp within ten days, finish his final work, and get the golden ring back.
Fortunately, this simple way of targeting doesn't take much time.
The team swept all the way and found the first apex in only half a day. Lan Wu took out the magic map, estimated it carefully, and looked up and gave a number: "Twenty kilometers." ”
Avila and the others glanced at each other and sat down to rest one after another. Trekking 20 kilometers in a row is a big test of physical strength. Not to mention the fact that you have to deal with an almost endless stream of demonic creatures.
After the break, the team set off again. The journey to find the third apex took a day and a night. Although the three of Avila didn't say anything, the tiredness on their faces that couldn't be concealed fully showed that they were tired. As soon as the tent was erected, the three of them immediately got into the tent and fell asleep.
Lan Wu also asked Flora and Erin to rest, and he stayed to keep vigil. Compared to these little girls, it is obvious that he has more experience in staying up late.
The dry wood burned with a crackling sound. Lan Wu sat by the campfire and summoned the three skeletons in turn to identify them one by one. Soon, he acquired the specific attributes of the three skeletons. To his surprise, the speed at which these three skeletons had upgraded was significantly faster than his own, and they had all reached level nine. The only difference is that the skeleton named Lanya has a cut more experience than the other two.
Sending the three skeletons scattered around to keep on guard, Lan Wu fell into deep thought. All along, the speed of his own leveling has far exceeded that of these three skeletons. But now it's just the right turn. After two days and one night of sleepless fighting, he only rose one level, reaching level eleven, and there was still a lot of gap between him and level twelve. And they are good, and they have been promoted three levels in a row.
Doubts grew in his heart, Lan Wu pondered for a long time, and suddenly slapped his head and laughed self-deprecatingly. He looked back at the three skeletons hidden in the darkness. He couldn't see them, but he could feel them. He shook his head and smiled, and whispered to himself, "Is this my luck?" Or bad luck? ”
After thinking about it, Lan Wu didn't pay any attention to it. Whether it's luck or bad luck, the most important thing at the moment is to find the source of the anomaly, which is where Bisu Hirosu is. He picked up a pebble and sketched it on the ground as he compared it to the magic map.
Nothing was said all night. The people of the Raven were very knowledgeable and did not come to harass them. At dawn, Avila women stepped out of their tents. Seeing that they had all woken up, Lan Wu raised his hand and beckoned, "Hurry up and eat something, I know the location of the source of the mutation." ”
Hearing the news, Avila's daughters immediately perked up. I've been busy for so long, just to determine the location of the source of the mutation. They hastily filled their stomachs and gathered in front of Lan Wu.
"It's a rough way of positioning." Lan Wu had the foresight to vaccinate Avila's daughters in advance, and then pointed to the map that had taken a night to improve and analyzed: "Now we are in this position. According to the estimated results, the location of the source of the anomaly is probably in this area, almost a hundred kilometers away from our current position. ”
A hundred kilometers is not too much, and less is not too much. If you don't have any trouble, you can get there in a daytime.
Lan Wu waited until the women of Avila digested this information, and looked at them seriously: "From now on, we have to give full play to our strength. ”
Avila was dazed, Sister Thea was dazed, Erin was dumbfounded, and only Flora was smiling and looking at them with relief.
Of course, the team's current performance is not all its strength.
