Chapter 3: Learning to Use Fire is the First Step to Civilization
"You have to think of a simple way to make a fire" The white wolf looked at his claws helplessly, his "hands" are good for hunting and fighting, but when it comes to making tools, it is not so easy to do some work that requires fine operation, the last time he drilled wood for fire, the white wolf really tried his best, and the skin on his paws was worn out a lot, which also affected the hunting.
"Sure enough, let's try that, I hope it will work out this time. The white wolf closed his eyes and felt the magic surging in his body, he could vaguely feel that there were five different powers lurking in his body, but so far, the white wolf had only inspired one of them.
"If this is a normal other world, the five powers in my body are probably the fantasy version of gold, wood, water, fire, fire, and earth, or the fantasy version of water, fire, earth, wind and thunder, no matter what, there is a fire. The white wolf sensed the magic in his body, he vaguely felt that he was about to succeed, he felt the bias in his body, the energy contained was stronger than the other four, and the white wolf felt that he could successfully control it.
In the same way as before, the white wolf mobilized the magic power in his body, gathering these violent magic powers into his mouth.
"It's going to happen, it's going to happen....." The white wolf opened his mouth wide in anticipation, carefully controlling the power in his body, waiting for the flames to appear, to his disappointment, everything did not go as he wished, only sparks came out of his throat and splashed on the dry stone slabs, in the dark cavern, this glowing light was like stars, fleeting.
"Sure enough, it still doesn't work...?" The white wolf was a little frustrated, in addition to the role of light, the flame can also be used to protect himself, he is really looking forward to his success, after all, his strength is too weak now, and it is very likely that he will lose his life when encountering a ferocious predator, even the wild boar white wolf can't beat it now, and he is now desperate to improve his strength.
The white wolf realized that he now has a psychological problem that wants to see the results immediately, everything is gradual, and hoping to get the results immediately is a manifestation of quick success, not to mention magic, something that he has never been exposed to in his previous life, the so-called quantitative change can get qualitative change, and if he wants to make progress, he still has to go down step by step.
"It's also progressive, but I couldn't see any sparks before" The white wolf comforted himself, the spark that had just appeared finally confirmed the white wolf's guess about this world, and the power in his body was indeed the fire element.
The white wolf shook his head, tossing the negative emotions that had just arisen from the frustration behind him.
After the long journey here, the white wolf was already quite tired, but he forced himself not to rest, and there was an important problem that he needed to solve.
The white wolf felt that it was necessary to continue exploring this cave, the waterfall was on the outside, but it was so dry inside, it was simply incredible, the last time he came here, the white wolf didn't go far, only walked to where he is now,
The white wolf's inner curiosity drove him to the depths of the cave, although the further he walked inside, the darker it became, but this could not stop the white wolf, and he had decided to explore the cave today.
The wolf's night vision talent came in handy here, the dim light coming in from outside the waterfall shot into the white wolf's eyes, which were reflected by the crystals at the bottom of the white wolf's eyes and coalesced into a stronger beam, allowing the white wolf to see the general situation of the surroundings clearly in the dark, and if there were outsiders here, it could be seen that the white wolf's eyes were glowing with a faint green light.
With this faint light, the white wolf continued to walk deeper into the cave, and to his surprise, the more he went inside, the stronger the light became, but the white wolf could feel that this was not a natural light, and the red light gradually entered his eyes.
Further inside, the white wolf finally found the source of the red light, which was a plant that looked like a mushroom, with a beautiful red glow flowing from its body.
"Very.... Beautiful stuff... I just don't know if I can eat it.." The white wolf cautiously approached the mushrooms, sniffed, and as he got closer, the white wolf felt some kind of power in his body stirring, calling him to eat the mushrooms.
The white wolf did not hesitate, bit a piece of mushroom down, gobbled it into his stomach, he felt that the mushroom seemed to melt in his body in an instant, a tingling sensation appeared in his abdomen, and the melted mushroom flowed in his body like magma.
"I'm this.... It feels like I've eaten some kind of treasure, or I'm suffering from food poisoning," the white wolf convulsed, lying on the ground in pain, and let out a painful whining.
After a while, the burning sensation gradually faded, and the white wolf got up from the ground weakly, the pain just now almost made him faint, and he swore that he would never eat this mushroom a second time in a short time. Feeling his body, the white wolf was surprised to feel three strange fiery red runes appear in his mind, quietly suspended in his mind. As a former programmer, he almost subconsciously discovered the connection between these three runes, and in short, he clearly felt that these three runes could be rearranged and combined, just like the principle of programming that he had repeated countless times in the past!
The white wolf tried to make each rune appear in his mind alone, and at the same time mobilized the power of the fire element in his body, trying to figure out the meaning of these runes.
It didn't take long for the white wolf to understand the meaning of the three runes and gave them three different names: input runes, storage runes, and output runes.
Input runes, the function is to guide the power of the fire element free in the air, into one's own body, storage runes, can be used to store the input fire element for a short time, it is not clear the strength and time limit of the stored fire element, output runes, release the stored fire element.
The white wolf kept trying the three new runes that appeared in his mind, and after three hours, he found that if he didn't use the input runes, he would slowly absorb the discrete fire elementals, but the absorption rate was much slower than when using the input runes. Through the white wolf's induction of the fire element, he came up with a vague data, and it would take about three days or so to naturally accumulate to fill a stored rune, and it would only take 1 hour to use the input rune. And by outputting runes, the white wolf was finally able to release fireballs, a full storage rune that could support the maximum power fireball output of about three times.
This means that the white wolf has finally bid farewell to the era without flames, and he will no longer have to be woken up in the middle of the night, no longer have to worry about not being able to see the road in the dark, and no longer have to eat raw food!
"What were you talking about step by step just now, have you learned it now...?" The white wolf was a little speechless and a little excited, slowly spitting out small fireballs from his mouth, like a child discovering a new toy.
