Chapter 1013: Ice Elemental Plane (2)
Chapter 1013: Ice Elemental Plane (2)
This valley is long and narrow, the entrance is less than five kilometers wide, and it has not become much wider after entering, the widest place is less than ten kilometers, but the length is far more than twenty kilometers, and we have encountered ice elemental creatures and ice monsters are not very many, the most common among the monsters are ice wolf, snow fox, iceberg white bear, etc., but unexpectedly, we also met wolf-type elemental creatures.
The origin of humanoid elemental creatures can also tell some questionsβelemental beings born in the land of rich elements originally had no fixed form, but were highly concentrated aethers that were condensed by the telekinesis of the spirit state, just like the water vapor in the sky high in the main plane was adsorbed together by low-temperature dust particles to form raindrops or snowflakes.
And their appearance, there is such a speculation - the elemental creatures at the beginning of their birth did not have a fixed form, and they were extremely plastic, but the spirits themselves had a certain amount of wisdom and had the instinct to imitate, so no matter what form of elemental creatures they were, they must have come into contact with or received an object that could be imitated at some important time.
In short, elemental beings need an object to mimic, which can be alive or dead.
The Ice Elemental Wolf we saw was exactly the same as the Monster Icewolf, except for the disembodied muscular, hairy fangs, and no difference.
The Monster Wolves don't regard the Ice Elemental Wolves as their enemies, but with their intelligence, they won't accept this guy as their own kind, because this guy won't come to snatch food from them, after all, it only needs enough aether to survive.
The origin of humanoid elemental creatures is complicated, after all, it is impossible for humans or elven mages to live in the elemental plane with a harsh environment for a long time, and there are not many habitable ones like the wood element plane and the water element plane, generally speaking, it is very likely that the human or elven mages traveling on the plane just passed by when the elemental creatures were born and caused a certain impact, or, those mages died on the spot - whether they were killed by others or by these elemental creatures, their souls would leave a certain amount of fluctuations, and then become the object of imitation of elemental creatures.
Of course, with such a theory, the number of humanoid elemental creatures should be much smaller than it is now, but the reality is not the case, and besides, many elemental creatures look exactly the same, as Leo said: "The modeling guy is lazy, and all monsters use one template." In fact, it can also be understood that after the growth of the original humanoid or animal-like elemental creatures, the later elemental creatures were influenced by the later ones, so the younger generations also shaped their own bodies in the same way as their predecessors......
Of course, there is another situation that also confirms this theory from the side - the water purification spirit born from the farm's water source, Corinne, is condensed with the help of the rich energy of the huge royal blue magic crystal, and her image is the same as the water purification spirit elder who has cultivated the magic crystal, which is the influence of the spiritual power from the soul level.
"Let's look again," Leo said, "if there are any elemental creatures in the form of bears and foxes." β
I said, "Theoretically, yes, but it takes time to form, right?" It is estimated that it will take hundreds of years for elemental creatures to reach adulthood from birth. β
"Not necessarily," said Leo, "as long as the aether concentration is sufficient, the time will be shortened, just like the theory of relativity." β
"The closer you get to the speed of light, the slower the flow of time......" I thought, probably the same way, and said, "You look slowly, let's keep on our way." β
Ricardo suddenly said, "There's a cave over there, and there's the smell of ice flowers in it." β
Ice Fragrance Flower is an alchemy plant, and we didn't take the task, but this kind of thing is basically purchased by magicians for a long time, and it can be handed over directly on the spot, of course, we can also keep it for our own use.
To my surprise, however, Ricardo actually smelled the scent.
"How do you smell it?" I'm curious.
Ricardo said: "This is the result of Camfer's latest research on taste and smell experiments, he studied the olfactory and taste organs of many animals, and developed a miniature magic array that can distinguish smells, but the effect is not very stable, it is said that a centaur cow tried it, and as a result, the nose and tongue became extremely sensitive, and drinking water would feel pain, and finally had to give up, I happened to hear about it, so I used it to put a ...... for myself."
"When? How did I not know? "I'm interested.
"I didn't tell you because I failed." Ricardo said, "It seems that this thing is not useful to living things, but it is useful to me." β
"That's great," said the Tyrannosaurus rex, "and it will be much easier for us to go on adventures and find things." β
"With this miniature magic array, I feel closer to a living being." Ricardo said.
I said, "One day you'll be a real creature." β
Tyrannosaurus rex said, "I think you're a creature!" β
Ricardo said: "That's your yardstick, for other people, I'm not, and all we have to do is get ourselves closer." β
Tyrannosaurus rex said: "When we are strong enough, they will not dare to look down on us." β
Ricardo said: "Deterrence by force is only the most brutal and simple way, and it is easy to rebound and make people change their minds, in fact, there are many ways, such as your camouflage has reached the point of realism, with their wisdom, when they can't see through it at all, there is no need to use force again." β
"That makes sense," said the Tyrannosaurus rex, "and I remember my mom wanting to learn the skills to become a human sooner rather than later." β
"Well, I'll talk about that later......" I had to interrupt them, "Let's go, collect these ice fragrant flowers first, I'm wondering, when I go back, should the cultivation of alchemy plants be transferred to the energy source?" β
"Lena Sur planted some pyrotechnic roses and fire lotus." Ricardo said.
"Good thing." I say.
The cave was so small that Ricardo was very crowded to enter, so I didn't go in, but the Tyrannosaurus rex found a sleeping bear inside.
It's not the kind of Warcraft iceberg white bear outside, but an ice element bear.
This once again proves the conjecture of the biological form origin of the elements.
In comparison, we rarely paid attention to these in other planes, especially in the fire elemental plane, and I actually had some ideas about the strange souls that were rescued at the beginning, but I had just cleaned up the lava beasts and the king squid and let those prisoner souls go.
Come to think of it, it should be very simple for those prisoner souls, as fire elemental creatures, to recondense a body.
This Ice Elemental Bear is in a similar sleepy state, just like the Warcraft Bear, and we are not interested in disturbing it, after all, for Tyrannosaurus Rex and Ricardo, this is bullying the weak.
After collecting the Ice Fragrance Flower, we continued on our way.
The wolves and foxes did not dare to come up when they saw us, and although we did not hide our breath, it is said that they could not feel our true strength or coercion, but they still wisely avoided us.
"It's a little weirdly smart," Leo said, "and I have a good hunch." β
"Found a target?" I say.
"The goal is there," Leo said, "just keep walking." β
We continued on our way, and finally we reached the place where Leo had spoken.
There are indeed a group of ice elemental creatures here, including an ice princess, although the strength is really not very good.
Moreover, this ice princess is the leader of this group of ice elemental creatures.
Elemental creatures living in groups are not uncommon, such as Windsor, the Wind Spirit Queen, is a good example, the Rock Queen, the Flame Queen, and the Poison Ivy Banshee are considered outliers, and it is indeed rare to have their own "power" like this Ice Princess.
Of course, the Elder of the Pure Water Spirit is an exception, after all, she is powerful, even if she doesn't want to live with her own kind, she must take into account the safety of her own kind and assume certain protection and management responsibilities, which is the same principle as Elder Pasetar of the Tree Man.
And like this ice princess, who dominates a group of ice elemental creatures, and his own strength is not very good, it is more special.
On the other hand, this also shows that her wisdom may be much higher than that of her peers.
"See why those beasts are afraid of you, right?" Leo said.
"It's actually humanoid creatures that they're afraid of," I analyzed the general possibility, "this ice princess is powerful, and the beasts know that humanoids can't be messed with." β
"Special," Leo said, "and it was decided that it was her." β
"It went well." I was delighted to see the humble complex where the ice princess lived.
Even if the ice elemental creatures patrolling the outer edge of the building ran towards us with a menacing warning, it didn't affect my inner lightness.
These elemental creatures are mainly in animal form, and they are obviously responsible for guarding and guarding, and it is understandable that they rush up when they see strangers, although their strength is low, they are still much stronger than those magical beasts, and it is not surprising to have this reaction.
As soon as the Tyrannosaurus rex saw them rushing up, he suddenly became energetic and ready to dismount.
Ricardo shouted at it and released a wall of ice.
As soon as the ice elemental animals saw this battle, they knew that it was not easy to mess with, so they all bypassed the ice wall and surrounded us, and there was an ice elemental boar whose head might not be very good, and it hit it directly, but the ice wall was fine, and its own head was broken in half.
Fortunately, the head of the ice element boar was not critical, the head was broken, the energy core was still there, and it rolled and stood up on the spot, and half of the head "grew" out again.
After surrounding us, these guys didn't dare to attack rashly, and an ice elemental fox immediately ran in.
Then, ten humanoid ice elementals ran out.
