Chapter 158: The Trail of Thunder (2)

Dark's cold sweat was pouring down.

"Back off, back off, back off!"

He shouted three times in a row, quickly arched himself, stretched and retracted and retreated, Isabella didn't understand what was going on, and quickly retreated together.

It wasn't until he couldn't see the red slime that Duck let out a sigh of relief: "It's safe for the time being!"

"What's wrong?

"I'll send you a picture, you can take a look first. ”

A few minutes later, Isabella received a picture from Dark: "This is the topographic map of the lightning strike area? What is that big red dot?"

"That slime just now. ”

"What's the red arc dragged by the big red dot?"

"Do you see the general trajectory of its movement? The trajectory of its movement is about an arc, and I think that if I continue to look at it, it will probably move in a similar circle. ”

"You mean, it's going around something?"

"Yes. You see that lightning bolt just now, and it comes between it and 'that thing.' ”

"Then why are we running?"

"Lightning strikes are divided into direct lightning and induction lightning. Faraday has a high resistance to lightning induction, and that's fine, but have you forgotten how George killed Christian's lightning array? The lightning strike was so powerful that we couldn't afford to take that risk. Then you look at the blue area I've marked on the inside of the red arc. ”

"Hmm, what's wrong with the blue zone?"

"The lightning we see is actually the lightning bolt that strikes back, that is, an unknown target casts a strong electricity on the red slime, and the red slime counterattacks is the lightning we see. ”

"What do you mean?"

"That target is likely to be another slime of the same type but of a different species, and they are attacking each other, and the opponent strikes first, and the air is pierced by a fierce direct lightning strike, and then the red slime's lightning strikes it along the lightning path it opens. ”

"Understood, the entire blue area is a danger zone for two slimes to thunder and lightning!"

"Yes, if you're not careful, there are no bones. ”

"If you don't rely on Faraday worms and lightning rods, you can hard-catch lightning strikes, oh my God, this strength is at least a Fa Sheng, right?"

"The Fa Saint can't even open the shield without opening the hard top and hitting the thunder directly. ”

"Why is it cowering here? Wouldn't it be better to go out and wipe out the human race and rule the world?"

"I suspect they can't leave this place. ”

"What do you mean?"

"We said we didn't have anything to eat here, right? The most of them are the wind magic energy - thunder all day long, and I suspect they are kept alive by replenishing the wind magic energy. ”

Isabella frowned, "It doesn't make sense. There is thunder all day long here, and the wind demon energy is very abundant, and if you feed on it, they must be surprisingly numerous. But so far I have only seen one. ”

"Maybe it's consciously controlling the population, it discharges like drinking water, and the demand for wind magic energy must be surprisingly high, and if there are many of them, won't the wind magic energy be enough to eat. ”

"It's even more wrong. With such a small number, how can it be possible to form a swarm mentality? There is no way to talk about 'consciousness', let alone control the number autonomously. ”

This sentence made Dark's heart move: "Wait! You mean, that guy's behavior just now was an unconscious biological instinct?"

"Well, I don't mean that...... Did you think of anything?"

"Creature instincts are not controlled by the creature itself! That guy is acting very strangely! You see, it is splitting and scheming, for the slime, breeding the next generation is the top priority, but it would rather give up the opportunity to breed than discharge electricity to the opponent, indicating that the opponent threatens its survival!"

Isabella was taken aback: "The enemy that feeds on it? Is it Hydra?"

"It's hard to say, we'd better observe it again. You're a little away from me this time. ”

"You have to be careful!"

"Got it. ”

While the two were talking, George's communication came in: "How's it going?"

Duck responded, "There are new discoveries that need to be further observed. Where's your side?"

"The alchemist is trying to lure me in, and I'm playing hide and seek with him. No problem. Dark, you watch your step. According to the information from the Scout Squad, there is a huge metal mine beneath your feet. ”

"Metal mines?"

"A huge associated metal mine, now you understand why it often thunders, right?"

"So we're staying in a big alchemy furnace?"

"That's right, nervous?"

Duck smiled: "What's so stressful about this, as long as the method is right, no matter how bad the environment is, it will be smooth." ”

"I like this sentence, then, let me tell you one more thing, in the very center of the Tantu, the distribution of magic energy is very concentrated, full of violent thunder and lightning and boiling metal solutions, and there can be no living beings at that intensity. ”

"Can Faraday get close?"

"At the moment, this version is not working, so it may be possible to give up some of the combat functions and change it to an expedition configuration. ”

"In other words, it can't be the nest of any creatures there, *** Della is a false rumor at all?"

"I am sure of your first sentence, and the second sentence, perhaps, Hydra is active outside the central area, and I wish you good luck. How's the Thunder Slime?"

Duck recounted what he had seen, and George muttered, "Try attacking it with lightning." ”

"Are you crazy, it's too late to hide, and you're going to attack it?"

"To deal with creatures with special behaviors, you must also use some special means, listen to me, give it a moment first. See how it reacts. ”

“...... I am requesting an increase in commissions, disability benefits and emotional damages. ”

"Well, come back alive. ”

"Don't worry, I will come back alive and eat the poor you black-hearted employer. ”

Duck cut off the communication and said to Isabella, "Let's go, we're going to fight the Thunder Slime." ”

Once again, the two Faraday worms sneaked up and lurked near the spot where the red slime had just been found.

As the minutes ticked by, the red slime did not appear.

Isabella said, "Did you smell us and didn't come?"

"Our smell can't be bigger than the smell of lightning burning mud, don't worry. ”

As the two spoke, a red slime poked its head out of the mud.

Duck whispered, "I'll come first, you step back a bit, turn on the magic image, and record the process and pass it on to George." ”

"Understood. ”

Dark's back trembled, arching out of the mud, a swarthy body more than three meters long, sharp spikes, and a crackling electric light flashing all over his body, full of evil aura at a glance.

However, the red slime not far away directly ignored him and didn't even make a defensive move.

Duck was stunned: "What, do you look down on me? I'm going to do it!"

As he spoke, a small bolt of lightning struck the red slime, and the red slime shook and squirmed a little in the direction of Dark, still not acting hostilely.

"Dark," Isabella said, "if it feeds on thunder and lightning, you attack it like this, you feed it!"

"Wait, I'll try again. ”

Dark's second attack, this time the lightning strike was slightly more powerful, roughly equivalent to a second-level "lightning strike". The red slime did as it should, then happily swayed from side to side and quickly crawled in the direction of Dark.

Duck couldn't help but feel ecstatic: "It works! I see! I know how to catch this guy!"
