Chapter 637: Tracking
Watching the gray cat Hardy almost lying on the ground, but the buttocks were cocked high, and from time to time he raised his head high, sniffing the air and the smell left on the ground. Someone thought to himself, could this group of cats' cat-finding strategy be to smell the female cat all the way.
I thought they would have some better cat-hunting strategy, but it turned out to be the kind of animal that they are good at. It's no wonder that he is despised, as a human sense, he can't be more powerful than a cat or a dog.
Lin thought about what he could do to speed up the rescue. On the one hand, if the female cat is really in crisis, the sooner the rescue is given, the better the chance that the other cat will survive.
On the other hand, I still have a fixed math class to attend every day, which is related to the establishment of my own mathematical authority, which is not easy to skip work. And it's strange to leave the action here and wait until you've finished teaching for two hours and then come back to continue. So you have to be quick to find the cat.
In the process of thinking, Lin suddenly noticed that the magic power aura on the gray cat Hardy was not as conspicuous as before. Originally, when I saw this group of cats, they were like glowing light bulbs in their vision, and they were very dazzling wherever they went.
But now the aura on Hardy's body has been hidden, replaced by a thin layer of blue light, covering the surface of his body. And after walking through it, it will leave a remnant of magical aura on the ground that resembles footprints.
I wanted to sneak up from behind and pick up the cat, but I was jumped away by Hardy first, showing a vigilant look, and said, "Human, what are you going to do?" ”
"Let me ask, are you adding a layer of protective magic to yourself now?"
"Yes, so what?"
"Why?" Lin asked again.
"What, why? If you want to move in the abyss, if you inhale too much miasma here, your physical strength will be very wasted. Therefore, it is common sense to add protective magic to yourself, in addition to purifying the air, but also to hide yourself. ”
Cat common sense, I don't have that kind of knowledge. Suddenly, Lin thought of a question and asked, "Do you say that your female cat will also use this magic?" ”
"This ...... I will definitely use it, otherwise how can I move in the abyss. Unless he is caught, he is also banned from using magic. ”
"Then teach me this magic." Lin said with a smile.
"Now? Also, you don't have any protection on your body, and what rags are you wearing, as a human magician, you dare to run into the abyss like this. Are you sick? I really don't understand why the king chose a human like you to do this. Hardy inexplicably tilted the stairs and complained.
"Alright, alright, don't talk about those things, teach me this protective magic first. It's important to see what we're going to do next. ”
In the scolding, the gray cat Hardy still uses as simple a method as possible to tell about this magic that does not belong to cats. The structure of the spell model was not difficult, and once he knew a rough outline, Lin was able to quickly correct it until the magic could work properly.
For someone's unusual learning speed, Gray Cat Hardy is not surprised. In other words, such a learning speed is normal for cats. It's just that it takes a lot of time to be proficient.
This perception of the gap is due to the language of communication between cats, which is more beneficial for teaching magic. Because the content of the beast language itself contains the imprint of power, unlike human language, it also needs to go through the transformation of spells before it can become the intuitive cognition of power. It's like understanding Shakespeare's play in Chinese and reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in English. Even if you can understand it, it will be a little bit less understanding, and you can't see through it.
But someone doesn't want to be in front of a cat, emphasizing that they are very powerful. It's that he doesn't have that kind of consciousness himself, because there is an even more powerful pervert in the family. Some simple magic, just by observing the flow of power, Fen can parse a rough idea. After using it a few times, you can create magic that works better than the original. This strength, someone is too lazy to complain.
To learn this magic, Lin did not want to use it on himself, but to master the power ranking characteristics of this magic.
Sure enough, in the specialized vision, Lin saw that there were quite messy footprints on the ground. Some of the footprints were dim, some were almost gone, only one was the clearest, stretching somewhere. He turned to the gray cat and asked, "Have any cats other than the female cat come in lately?" ”
"As far as I know, since Mauni's disappearance, we were among the first to enter the abyss."
"Oh, that's good. Then keep up, I've got a clue. Lin didn't explain much, just ran in a certain direction.
Gray Cat Hardy didn't want to follow, but the direction chosen by the other party was one of the directions he suspected. I had no choice but to keep up.
Lin was almost always trotting along the way, and Hardy was reluctant to follow at first. But along the way, Mao Ni's taste never stopped, and it also made the gray cat suspect that this human had really found some kind of tracking. In the end, he didn't have time to think about it, just followed along while checking the taste.
When someone stops, an anomalous creature is approaching. Living creatures in the abyss can be prefixed with demons, but there is a world of difference between strength and weakness. Of course, the lowest level of abyssal creatures is much higher than that of the abyssal creatures.
According to the standard of good and evil of human beings, all living beings here can be classified as evil. But for those who live here, it's just a daily routine. Just like a lion hunting an antelope, according to the human code of good and evil, killing a lion can be regarded as evil, but for lions and antelopes, it is only necessary for them to survive.
Anyway, someone doesn't have a preconceived dislike for creatures in the abyss. Of course, if you are too white-eyed and run in front of yourself to swagger, you should be taught a hard lesson. However, the main purpose of this trip is to rescue, and a way has been found to track it down, so someone decides to hide his whereabouts and does not intend to make contact with the people of the abyss.
On the way, when you encounter the people of the abyss, you can take a detour, stop if you can't, and wait for the other party to pass. For someone who is used to playing games with the HUD, it is not difficult to turn on the detection and graphics effects to predict the direction of movement in advance.
And as more data was collected on Mao Ni's footprints, Lin was able to use the decay of power dissipation to determine that it was a trace left a few days ago, and conclude that the cat had passed by the place four days earlier. In the case of beasts, it was discovered that a fellow was missing at this time, and a rescue team was dispatched, which was unimaginably fast.
However, this also proves one thing from the side, there are many cats who care about Mao Ni, so they will find out that the other party is missing in such a short period of time and react. Anyway, I've been traveling for more than ten years, has anyone ever looked for me on the earth?
……
Forget it, don't think about it. Even if someone really tried to find me, they wouldn't be able to find it. After all, there is an astronomical level of distance between himself and the earth. Even if you are miscalculated to the decimal place in the millionth, you may be thrown outside the solar system by the flash technique.
"Hardy, we're going to get up to speed. You can keep up. Lin said as he trotted.
"I think you're too slow, human. Just run, I'm not going to lose you. Hardy the gray cat kept walking on four short legs, but he said uncontrollably.
However, judging from the performance of the other party, it is indeed still at ease. It's just that a certain cat was at the beginning, but it was a long time since he smelled it, and he couldn't even step out. Something like that...... Let's not mention it.
Fill yourself with a full set of faster movement speed magic, which was quite commonly used before entering the Great Sage's Tower. It's just to match the strength of those two apprentices, so it's still suppressed. After entering the magic tower, this kind of magic is basically not used. After that, although he left the magic tower, he learned the flashing technique, so he didn't need it.
This time, because I was carrying a cat, I couldn't move alone with the flash technique, so I used this set of long-lost magic and used it with all my might. In an instant, the surrounding scene was like a lightning speed, and it kept retreating. But after doing his best, this speed ...... It's slow.
Not to mention the supersonic fighters on the earth, even the high-speed railways running on the ground are not comparable to anything. And the gray cat Hardy who followed behind him also looked relaxed. I guess if it hadn't been able to quickly determine the direction it should be heading, I'm afraid it would have dumped itself a long time ago. I can only say that after learning the flashing technique, I seem lazy in many ways.
Suddenly, a man and a cat in the middle of the run stopped at the fork in the road in front of the canyon. Hardy crossed over to someone, sniffed towards the two passages, and said, "We should take the passage on the right." ”
Lin shook his head and said, "It's true that the passage on the right has more traces left by another cat, but I think we should take the passage on the left." ”
"Why? What basis do you have? ”
I don't know why I can't convince this cat. Lin Yi shook his hand and used the whiteboard pen technique to mark the footprints he saw on the ground. There is a row of cat footprints left in the left passage, which is relatively sparse; The passage on the right also has footprints, but it is numerous and cluttered. 林 says:
"These are the footprints I have seen you leave in the places you pass through after using protective magic. More on the right and less on the left. If you use the smell to confirm, it should be that the smell on the right is stronger, and the smell on the left is lighter. ”
"That's right."
"But if we were on top of the footprints and we were trying to identify the direction of the people who left them, that's what happened."
Lin continued to use a whiteboard pen to simulate a cat whose size matched the amplitude and span of the footprints on the ground. And with the shape of this cat, it appeared on the footprints that Mao Ni walked, and reproduced the posture of the cat. I saw a cat walking towards the depths of the passage on the right, and a simulated image walking back from the depths of the passage, while on the left there was only a distant image.
Hardy looked at the simulated light and shadow cat, which was somewhat similar to himself, but slightly smaller. Curious, he first flicked the product of the whiteboard pen with his front paws, and then came to his senses and said, "You mean that the reason why there are more marks left in the passage on the right is because Mao Ni has turned back." ”
"Yes."
"How do you know for sure?"
"Your cat's claws and meat balls are not inseparable. You agree with that. In this case, it is not difficult to discern the direction of walking from the footprints. ”
