Verse 99: I am a manta monkey
In the dim candlelight, Mane Ge quietly looked at Sandao.
The goblin in front of him was half-kneeling on the ground, his mouth covered with a white linen scarf, but his eyes were full of sincerity and determination.
At this moment, Mane Ge's understanding of the three knives suddenly deepened again.
In addition to the grace of saving his life, there is another reason why Sandao followed his mane. That's it – identity.
We are all the same people, all people on the margins of society. They are all excluded, suppressed, and discriminated against. If we were pure-bloods, we would be able to live better. But the reality is that even if we have great abilities and outstanding contributions, we are treated unfairly.
Therefore, compared to needle gold, Sandao hopes to see the success of Mane Ge.
Mane Ge was silent for a moment, and then said lightly: "Sandao, I understand your loyalty." But...... Don't be too impatient. ”
"This kid is very skillful. ”
"He first accepted us in public despite opposition, and at dinner, he brought barbecue meat and potions in public, and offered to take the initiative to share information. This move won the hearts of the people. ”
"No matter what reason you use tomorrow, as long as you challenge him, everyone else will be angry. Think you don't know how to lift up, you don't know how to be grateful. They will also think that it was not your idea, because you followed me, so it must have been ordered by me. ”
Mango chuckled, "It's like they framed me as the murderer of the captain." The truth is not important, what matters is people's hearts. ”
"But, my lord, if we don't take measures soon......" Sandao gritted his teeth, showing hesitation.
Mango continued: "If you challenge the needle now, he will be the one who will benefit the most. ”
"You know why he's taking us in and putting us near the camp? He's not just trying to guard against or recruit us, he's deepening his influence on the crew's side. ”
"He just came into contact with the group of people in the cord today, and he directly rose to become the leader and seized the power in the hands of the cord. Why didn't the cord resist, but choose to swallow the bitter fruit?"
"It's not just who Needle Gold is, and not only because Needle Gold saved the camp and Snoll's life, but also because we're right in front of their eyes. The cord would not have been able to resist me without relying on the needle. ”
"Definitely. Sandao was reminded by this, and suddenly suddenly, "If I challenge the needle, it will definitely make the cord more attached to the needle, and this rift will be narrowed to a negligible point because of my actions." ”
Mango nodded: "We can't further exacerbate the contradictions and strengthen the antagonism between each other. Identity and pedigree are our weaknesses, which is why we need to gain the trust of our crew. Otherwise, even if we can fight again, how will the ship be maneuvered?"
"We want to be united, and on this point, I agree with Needle Gold. That's why I agreed to come to this camp. ”
"This island is very dangerous. ”
"In the beach camp before, I still don't have a clue about the real culprit of the mysterious attack. ”
"Whether it's the marlin or us, we have been attacked by a group of manta monkeys and a silver rhinoceros. It's very weird, and I always feel like someone is behind it!"
"The most important thing is to get out of here. ”
"When he announced that he was going to accept us, he actually challenged me. ”
"It's just a bet on this challenge, not just me and him, but also you, and the crew of the Squire, and even more so the possibility of escaping here. ”
"When I agreed to come to camp, I accepted the challenge. ”
"I already had a hunch that it was going to be a different fight. The means can't be too simple and crude, three knives, in that case, we will lose. ”
"And to find out the details of the combat power of the needle, we don't have to rush to do it. I have a hunch that the attacks of manta monkeys and rhinos will not stop, and will even intensify. ”
Sandao's heart was awe-inspiring, and he hurriedly bowed his head: "I completely understand, my lord." ”
"Well, let's go down. ”
"The subordinates retired. ”
The three knives respectfully withdrew from the tent, and the beard entered the tent to see the needle.
"Here you are, scholar, please take a seat. Needle Kim smiled, he had been waiting for a long time.
As early as when he left the camp and rushed to rescue the boatman and the group, Needle Gold gave Cangsu the task of dissecting the carcass of the bat monkey and reporting the information found to him.
Cang Xu bowed: "My lord, before I report to you, please give the order to add fires and torches for lighting around the camp. Because I found that these manta monkeys have a strong ability to fight at night. ”
Needle Gold's face was grim, this discovery was very important.
At night, people's vision is greatly limited. If you fight with manta monkeys and there is no lighting, you will suffer very much.
The needle gold was as good as a stream, and immediately gave the order.
A group of people had just fallen asleep, and after receiving the order, they had to get up and work.
Needle Gold didn't forget to send someone to inform Mango to go.
Back in the camp, after listening to Cang Xu's report, Needle Jin frowned slightly: "You mean, the bat monkey is not able to see at night. Rather, they can make a kind of call that we can't hear, and then through the echo, determine everything around them?"
Cangsu nodded: "Exactly." It's like a person calling in a valley, and the valley repeats what is being called, which is a reflection of the sound. Bats can fly in the dark and avoid obstacles flexibly and quickly, using ultrasound to detect obstacles in front of them. ”
Seeing the puzzled look on his face, Cangsu continued to explain: "The so-called ultrasound is a sound with a frequency higher than what our human ears can hear. Similarly, there are low sound waves, which are sounds whose frequencies are lower than what our human ears can receive. These have been studied by scholars for a long time. There are books on this at Silverbridge College that I have read. ”
Needle Gold was even more puzzled: "Ultrasound...... And low sonic ......"
Cang Xu nodded: "Research shows that there is a range of sounds that our human ears can hear. There is an upper limit, and there is a lower limit. Outside of this range, we can't hear it. The sound above the upper limit is ultrasound. Below the lower limit is the low sound wave. ”
Needle Gold scratched his head: "Then you just mentioned a word, frequency, is that the word?"
"The precise definition of frequency is the number of times a sound source vibrates in a second. When I shake a thin plank, the plank is the source of the sound, and it makes a sound. The more force I shake, the more frequent the movements, and the more the board vibrates in a second, the more often it will be. ”
"When we ring the bell, the bell will vibrate quickly and slightly on its own because of the impact, and the bell will sound loudly. ”
"And we humans speak because the vocal cords in our throats vibrate, producing sounds. ”
"I see. "I felt that my horizons had been broadened all of a sudden.
"I found in the manta monkeys that their vocal cords are very strong, and their throats are similar to those of bats. At the same time, their ears are also well developed, and their nasal cavity looks like that of monkeys, but in fact there are a lot of skin folds inside. The nose of bats, precisely because of these similar complex folds, can assist the vocal cords and emit high-frequency ultrasound. ”
"And the lungs of the manta monkey form a perfect match with the vocal cords and nose. Despite the small size of the manta monkey, its lungs have an outstanding ability to contract, and can expand several times in size. The pectoral muscles and respiratory muscles of the bat monkey are also very well developed. ”
"The eyes of manta monkeys do not have night vision. But when they fly at night, they constantly emit ultrasound waves of different frequencies. When these ultrasonic waves encounter something, they reflect back and let the bat monkeys receive them. The manta monkey can distinguish between these echoes of different frequencies and dodge flexibly without hitting any obstacles. ”
"I see. "What a wonderful structure, so these bat monkeys can also 'see' in the thick fog?"
Cangsu nodded: "Lord Mingjian." ”
"Thank you, Cangsu, go and rest. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
Needle Jin slept in the tent until the second half of the night, got up and walked out of the camp.
"Your Excellency. ”
"Needle-sama. ”
When the people in charge of the vigil saw him, they saluted.
"You've worked hard. ”
"It's the first night, I'm not very relieved, you continue to be on guard. I'm going to look around. ”
Needle Gold looked indifferent and said goodbye to these people.
Looking at the young knight's distant back, the guards couldn't help but whisper a conversation.
"How did the adults get into the forest? It's late at night. ”
"Hehe, haven't you heard, Lord Needle Gold has gone through life and death tribulations, mastered the power of the mind, and can predict danger. Any sneak attack will be ineffective for him!"
"It's so powerful?!" the guard who heard it for the first time exclaimed.
Needle Gold entered the forest, first transformed into a lizard eye, and after confirming that there was no one around, he began to undress.
When he stripped off his clothes and placed them properly, he canceled the lizard's eye change and began another change.
After the red light flashed, he turned into a bat monkey!
Whether in the camp or in the process of rescuing the boatmen, Needle Gold killed many manta monkeys. Combined with the results of other people's battles, there are many manta monkey corpses.
In the name of Zidi's research potion, Needle Gold asked for a large part of it, but in fact only gave some of it to Zidi.
He detained some of the manta monkeys and quietly used the magic crystal in his heart to refine them.
This allowed him to completely change his options, from the original three, to four.
And at the moment when he completely transformed into a manta monkey, Needle Jin felt that the whole world had changed!
Countless sounds were poured into his ears, with a low hum, a shrill whistling, a rustling noise, and a clattering chew.
The otherwise silent night forest can only be heard occasionally calling a nightingale or some kind of wild beast. But now, to the sound of needle, it is like he has suddenly come from the suburbs to the city.
"It turns out that this is how the manta monkey feels, and it's too noisy. He had never heard so many sounds, and they were mixed together and drilled into his ears, as if they were going to put him into the colorful muddy water and stir them constantly, stirring him irritable and disgusted.
Needle Gold endured the noise and began to move his hands and feet.
The manta monkey's body resembles a humanoid, which makes it very easy to get started with needles and quickly become familiar with them.
After running and jumping with the body of a bat monkey for a while, the needle gold pressed his excitement and began to flap the bat's wings and try to fly.
Although it becomes a fat ball flying fish, it can also fly. But not fast, not so much flying, more precisely floating.
"I can actually fly now. ”
"Give it to me!"
The wings behind the needle gold shook violently, and then flapped violently.
The lift was generated, driving the small body of the needle gold to jump upwards at the moment.
Bang.
He flew diagonally into the air, then hit his head on the treetops with a muffled thud.
Then, he lost control, and the faster his wings flapped, the faster he fell to the ground.
Eventually, he touched his face to the ground and plunged headlong into the grass.
"It turns out that flying is not easy. ”
Needle Gold pulled his face out of the mud and grass, and with a touch of his hand, he wiped the dirt and grass clippings off his face.
He stabilized his mind, told himself not to be impatient, and began to try to flap his left and right wings one by one.
The left wing flapped a few times, and then the right wing.
The wings are full of strength and bring a very strong lift.
Needlegold tried to flap his left and right wings together, and the sound of puff sounded, and Needlegold slowly flew up crookedly.
He tried his best to stabilize his body, and when he saw that he was about to hit the trunk again, he quickly reached out and grabbed it.
The next moment, he stopped flapping his wings, and with a forceful turn of his arm, he flipped over the trunk of the tree.
Something embarrassing happened again.
Before he could retract his wings, he was stuck between the dense branches.
