017. Experiment
Talos soon knew what the result was, the same soul, swept in by this particular suction.
Compared to the soul of Ax last time, the strength of the soul this time seems to be higher, and the soul color of the soul that flashes is darker and gray, but it is obviously not human in appearance.
As for the kind, Talos really couldn't tell the difference, and you couldn't expect him to identify racial characteristics from a fleeting, shadow-like silhouette in less than a second, let alone accurately determine the specific race of the other party.
The soul fire emitted a pale red flame, like a torch suspended in the void, occasionally beating for a moment, absorbing the soul as fuel as soon as it was involved, bursting into brilliant sparks, and then everything was calm.
Talos didn't know if it was an illusion or a psychological effect, compared to just now, the color of the soul fire was a little clearer, and there was a tendency to move from light red to bright red.
"What's going on?"
Talos couldn't figure it out, opened his eyes, stood up, looked around, and saw a Black Sea knight not far away throwing the corpse of a crocodile-like monster aside.
Warcraft...... Corpse......
"Wait, did you just kill that seagate crocodile?" Talos asked, pretending to be casual.
"Yes, sir. The well-trained Black Sea Knight bowed slightly to Talos and replied with a hint of apology, "I didn't drive away twice, I'm sorry to bother you, next time I'll take it farther away." ”
"No, you're doing a great job. Talos quickly calculated the possibility that the soul that had just been absorbed by the soul fire was the seagate crocodile, and the common denominator of the soul fire before and after absorbing the soul twice.
"The soul is the foundation of what makes a creature a living being, human-like intelligent creatures such as Naga, humans, and elves have souls, magical creatures, magical beasts have souls, and high-level undead creatures such as ghosts and terrifying knights also have souls. Losing the soul means the death of the creature, and the time of the death of the seagate crocodile and the time when the soul fire absorbs the soul is definitely not a simple coincidence!"
The young Naga pursed her lips, not being happy at the fact that "the soul absorbed by the soul fire is the Haimen crocodile", and continued to think about the deeper question.
"Axes was entangled in front of me by the True Worm Repair Module, and the Seagate Crocodile was killed by the Black Sea Knight, the former was less than a foot away from me, and the latter was about 20 yards away from me, the distance is the biggest difference between the two other than the cause of death, could it be related to distance?"
"No, that's obviously a wrong assumption!" the next second Talos recanted his assertion, "The Naga who were obviously shipwrecked are closer to me than the Crocodile, but the soul fire didn't involve their souls. It looks like the cause of death and distance options can be ruled out first. ”
"If it has nothing to do with distance, what is influencing whether the soul fire wants to absorb those souls?"
Talos thought for a while but couldn't find an exact answer, and decided to summarize the truth from the experiment: "Are there more seagate crocodiles nearby?" ”
The four Black Sea Knights looked at each other, not knowing what Talos wanted to do, he was not fit to walk around in this kind of place right now, but he respectfully pointed to the other side of the hill and replied:
"There's a waterhole about 100 yards down the hill, and there are five crocodiles living there, and this one just crawled from there. ”
"Well, what are you waiting for, go, I want you to kill those crocodiles one by one. Without blinking, Talos condemned the five crocodiles to death.
"Yes!"
Four Black Sea knights escorted Talos down the hill, and a few minutes later, a waterhole about 20 feet long appeared in Talos' field of vision.
There were five crocodiles, two large and 10 feet long, and three small, less than 7 feet, about the same size as the one that had just died.
"My lord, as long as we kill all five seagate crocodiles?" the leading Black Sea Knight stopped to ask when she was still 40 yards away from the waterhole, she didn't dare to let Talos, who had lost her spell casting ability, get too close to the waterhole to avoid accidents.
"Yes, exactly. Apparently aware of the concerns of the Black Sea Knights, Talos no longer chose to move forward, and then added, "Attention, it's killing one by one." ”
"As you wish, my lord. ”
Two Black Sea knights with long swords guarded Talos's side, and the other two Black Sea knights took off their longbows and mounted their arrows, and the strong bodies of the bronze second order, which had already activated the bloodline, allowed them to easily pull the bowstring into a full moon and accumulate strength.
Talos knew that anyone who could become an official Black Sea Knight archer must have a mid-level martial arts specialty, long-range shooting, which was a compulsory course for Black Sea Knight Reserve Archers.
To learn the martial art of long-range shooting, reserve archers need to shoot three swimming fish 70 yards away in a row to be successful.
On land where there is only air and no sea water as resistance, there is no doubt about their range and power.
An arrow made of steel converted the longbow's elastic potential energy into terrifying kinetic energy, and shot out like lightning, sending out a sharp roar in the air.
When the arrow was halfway fired, the second Black Sea Knight aimed at another seagate crocodile and shot it as well.
The first stainless steel arrow broke through the scale armor protection of the Haimen crocodile with great force, and directly pierced the head of one of the small Haimen crocodiles, stirring up a circle of blood flowers in the clear waterhole.
Without waiting for the other four crocodiles to react further, the second steel arrow harvested the soul of one crocodile again, followed by the third......
In just three seconds, three white-bellied crocodiles floated on the waterhole.
"The order is changed, and the free kill. ”
There was an unconcealable excitement in Talos's voice, which was not difficult to understand, and the moment the first arrow took away the life of the Haimen crocodile, the soul fire trembled slightly again, and it swept into a soul.
And then there is the comforting second, the third......
The input of the souls of five consecutive Haimen crocodiles was like pouring a spoonful of boiling oil on a flame, and the soul fire that was originally the size of a fist immediately rose with sparks of teeth and claws, blazing, doubling in expansion, radiating a huge amount of light and heat.
Talos was warm all over his body, as if he was being illuminated by the warm sun in the middle of winter, which was very comfortable and comfortable.
A few seconds later, the soul of the Haimen crocodile was burned out, and as soon as the soul fire was collected, it still became the size of a fist, and the flame light officially turned bright red, clear and pure, very bright, and slowly flowed in the void.
"Five Haimen crocodiles, bronze first-order strength, 40 yards away from me, died from the long-range attack of the Black Sea Knight's steel arrows......" Talos's head moved quickly, analyzing the various influencing factors of this hunting operation, "The result is that the souls are absorbed by soul fire, one is not less." ”
"It's a pity that the two event variables of the soul absorbed by the soul fire are too different, just now I should have left a seagate crocodile and let Emma kill it as a control group. But that's okay, when I get back to the Black Sea, I'll have time to experiment. ”
PS:
1. The name of Warcraft in the text is either derived from Dungeons and Dragons (DND) or Might-and-Magic-Heroes (Might-and-Magic-Heroes), or nonsense.
2. The Black Sea Knight's address to Talos should be "My-Lord", which I directly translates as "Adult".
