Chapter 7, The Banyan Tree and Borrowing
During the long and monotonous journey, although one or two energy bodies flashed from time to time in the energy perception vision, they were either too fast or too far away, and Yun Cang didn't know which creatures he had encountered, so he could only silently ignore them when they didn't exist.
"Warning, according to the distance calculation, the main body has seriously yawed!" Just as Yun Cang continued to walk forward boredly, Xiaobai's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Yes, it stands to reason that after walking along the river for so long, it should have been there." Yun Cang stopped and muttered, he took out his mobile phone and looked at it, he had been walking for more than 4 hours.
"According to memory, the diameter of Xing'an City is 120 kilometers from east to west, and the main body starts from the west of Xing'an City, and it is impossible to be more than 60 kilometers away from the ant nest," Xiaobai continued, "and the main body has been walking at a high speed, maintaining a speed of 20-25 kilometers per hour, and the total distance in four hours is far more than 60 kilometers, even if it is a detour, it should have already reached its destination." ”
After listening to Xiaobai's calculation, Yun Cang also reacted at once. That's right, the city of Hung Yen itself was built on the river, which is almost parallel to the city. According to the distance, it is absolutely impossible for me to reach the other side of the nest in four hours.
What's going on? Did you get caught or did you strayed into some secret realm? Yun Cang began to recall all the details along the way.
If you think about it, the grass on the grassland side doesn't seem to have changed, but it has always been exactly the same! There's a stretch of the infinite loop! Yun Cang suddenly felt his scalp tingle. Thinking about it this way, those who flashed in the energy perception field of vision are probably not simple passing mutant creatures, if it weren't for their own energy characteristics to isolate their own information, I'm afraid they would have died a long time ago!
Yun Cang stood in place and looked around, everything seemed so real, the colors, sounds, touches, and smells were all impeccable. When the five senses are no longer reliable, and the information received is likely to be a trap, how can you get out of this strange situation?
"Calm down, I still have energy isolation, energy perception is still effective, and there is no abnormal energy reaction around, which means that I am safe for the time being." Yun Cang tries to keep himself sane, in a dangerous situation, every emotion of a person will become a fatal weakness, and only by staying calm can a practical solution be found.
Do you want to go back the way you came? I'm afraid not. Since the other party can make me deviate from the original route without realizing it, it is very likely that I will deviate again if I return the same way.
Several of his abilities have not been affected, can he find a solution from these abilities? First of all, more attention must be allocated to information integration, so that it is easy to find anomalies in the many false information; secondly, we must make use of perceptual interaction, and now that there is a big problem with our physical perception, we can only rely on the remaining perceptual means; Finally, there is energy specialization, which requires constant energy to be added to the surroundings to mark the route you are taking.
The most important thing now is to determine the orientation first, how to judge the orientation through perceptual interaction? Now the surrounding environment cannot be trusted, and the energy difference map can only be obtained through perceptual interaction, and then the direction can be judged through the energy difference, but the energy difference is obviously not necessarily related to the direction.
"No, there's something for me to judge!" Yun Cang was ecstatic in his heart, "As long as it is on the earth, it will definitely not disappear, that is the sun!" And I happen to have an ability called photosynthesis! ”
As long as you carefully perceive the amount of light energy absorbed by each angle of the body, you can judge the position of the sun through these differences, and the direction where the light energy is most abundant must be the direction where the sun is located.
I'm going to make a humanoid sunflower today, it's May, the sun rises in the northeast and sets in the northwest, and after basking in the sun for a while, you can quickly judge the direction by the sun's trajectory.
Similarly, on the way, you only need to comprehensively use the sun orientation and energy special markers to ensure that you walk in a straight line.
The travel plan has been decided, and the next step is to choose the direction, do I go northeast to return to camp, or do I go northwest to continue the original plan? In any case, it's not my style to give up halfway, and I'll have to see who the ants are fighting with today.
After deciding to go northwest, Yun Cang quickly walked forward with his eyes closed. If someone can share his vision at this time, they will find that his steps are very strange, sometimes forward, sometimes left, sometimes backward, sometimes in circles, sometimes pacing back and forth, in short, crooked and diagonal instead of walking in a straight line, as if performing some strange ritual.
But it was all an illusion, and in the field of energy perception, the sun's bearing and energy markers told Yun Cang that he had been heading straight to the northwest.
Not long after replenishing an energy crystal, Yun Cang found that his body sense and orientation were no longer contradictory. He knew he was finally out of trouble.
He opened his eyes, looked around, and found himself standing in the vast savannah, looking back at the way he came, where there was no grass, there was a huge circular clearing, and in the center grew a red banyan tree, and many aerial roots hung down from the branches, some were inserted in the ground, and some were inserted in all kinds of corpses, most of them were of magical beasts, but also some human remains.
A few mutated creatures were running around in the clearing, but they just didn't walk in a straight line, and it seemed that they had also been hit. Seven or eight banyan aerial roots are inserted on their backs, elongated with their movements, and new aerial roots are constantly penetrating into their bodies.
Yun Cang wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the energy mark in the farthest distance, it was not far from the banyan tree air root, just walk a little forward for more than ten meters, and there would definitely be dense high-bright strips in his energy perception vision, and his expression would definitely be as shocked as if he was a ghost. After all, he was still walking on the riverbank in the illusion, and a large group of invisible long bright sticks suddenly appeared in front of him, so it was strange not to be scared half to death.
Thinking of this funny scene, Yun Cang couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. Looking at the banyan tree in the distance that was incompatible with the surrounding grassland, Yun Cang smiled and said, "Xiaobai, record this banyan tree, and when we have a way to counteract this disgusting person's spiritual ability, we will definitely come back to this thing." ”
"Recording complete. The main body of the report, at present, can fight against the banyan tree by competing for prey, and Xiaobai believes that this place is an excellent hunting place. Xiao Bai took out a small notebook in his mind to write and draw and replied seriously, "By killing the alien beasts lost here, we can help us become stronger quickly with low risk." ”
"Well, it's my little white. Sure enough, it's ruthless and strong enough. Yun Cang replied embarrassedly.
But doesn't that make it seem like I'm stupid in what I've just said? Yun Cang complained silently in his heart.
"The main body of the report, a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and you don't have to be arrogant." Xiao Bai comforted expressionlessly.
Yun Cang was shocked: "Xiaobai, can you actually know what I'm thinking?" ”
Xiaobai: "Mental activity is essentially a function of the brain, and the mental activity of the subject is not much different from talking directly to me. ”
Yun Cang: "Surprised, then I take a bath, go to the toilet, and secretly observe girls, don't you know." ”
Xiaobai: "......"
Yun Cang: "......"
Xiaobai: (つ_⊂)
Yuncang: ∑ (っ°Д°; )っ
"Ahem, let's go hunt these lost beasts, Xiaobai." Yun Cang's heart was empty.
"Okay, please do a good job of energy marking to prevent another stroke." White \_(・ω・')
After marking along the clearing, the two quickly locked on to an armored boar at the edge of the clearing, a very widespread mutated creature, compared to other creatures, the armored boar did not increase in size, but had a tendency to shrink into a sphere, this creature would curl up in a ball when it encountered danger, and use thick plate armor to protect itself. Compared to combat effectiveness, the real evolution of the armored wild boar is its terrifying reproductive ability, and someone in the Xing'an camp has done an experiment to raise two armored wild boars in a 100X100 farm, and the farm is already full of pigs after a year. When the wild boar has enough food, they will mate immediately, not only only the gestation period is only 1 month, but also can give birth to more than a dozen at a time, the most powerful due to their small size, the wild boars only need 2 months to reach adulthood, and the next round of mating.
Thanks to their amazing abilities, wild boars are ubiquitous in the grasslands, the most important predators for many creatures, and the most important source of meat for the Hung Yen camp.
Yun Cang held the camp's special high-strength alloy spear in his hand, and approached the armored boar along the edge of the clearing, and when he reached the attack range of the spear, he raised the gun and fell, and the poor armored boar immediately understood what it meant to be cold and heartbroken, and received the lunch very simply. In the energy vision, the moment the wild boar died, the energy on its body quickly dissipated, and it did not form a demonic beast crystal nucleus.
Yun Cang was not discouraged, all the way along the edge of the clearing, on average every 50 meters he could encounter a lost beast, strange beasts killed a lot, but the most were armored wild boars. Eight or nine were killed just by going around the clearing, and the other beasts came one by one, and the wild boars were sent in groups, which can also be seen from the side of the success of the wild boar's multiplication strategy.
Although there were many strange beasts hunted, they only obtained two demonic beast crystal nuclei of armored wild boars. Yun Cang didn't hesitate, and turned on the isolation energy to absorb the two crystal nuclei, except for raising a level and adding a few more points of defense, he didn't even get a new ability.
Yun Cang: "Tsk, am I also African?" ”
Xiaobai: "According to the camp data records, the higher the degree of evolution, the greater the probability of producing crystal nuclei, the higher the quality of crystal nuclei, through the energy vision, it can be found that the brightness of the alien beasts at the edge of the clearing is relatively average, indicating that the degree of evolution is low, and the content of mysterious particles in the body is not enough to form crystal nuclei." ”
Hearing this, Yun Cang compared the alien beasts that went deep into the clearing, and sure enough, the energy density was higher than that of the periphery, and the further inward it was, the higher the degree of evolution, while the banyan tree in the center was too far away to detect.
