Chapter 1127 Forest Relics (Part 2)
Xu Changqing squatted down, picked up a piece of gravel from the ground, and then silently circulated the water spirit battle, causing the temperature of his body to drop the limit that he could reach now, extremely close to the freezing point, and the water stains hanging on his body also formed ice. Just when the temperature of his body fell into freezing point, the palm of his hand holding the gravel was distracted from using his internal energy to promote the fire spirit battle, and the stone was burnt like fire, and the heat was burned.
After preparing all this, Xu Changqing looked at the dragon snakes and quickly projected the stones in his hand. At the same time, he quickly dissipated the fire spirit battle in his hand, allowing the water spirit battle to form a cold air to cover his palms, so that the palms would fall down instantly, and he could no longer feel a trace of heat. While doing these movements, his attention was always on the dragon snakes and observing their reactions.
The snakes reacted very quickly. The moment Xu Changqing threw out the hot stone, he noticed it. All three snakes suddenly raised their heads from their lazy entrenchment posture, staring at the stones flying in the air, spitting out long snake letters in their mouths, looking like they could attack magic weapons at any time. When the stone was about to land, the male snake that had not gone out to find food suddenly opened its snake's mouth, and a sour and smelly venom shot out from its mouth like an arrow, hitting the stone, instantly corroding the stone to a hazy hole, but it failed to completely destroy the extremely hard stone.
Xu Changqing saw this scene not only without any frustration, but instead smiled. It was obvious that the reactions of these dragon snakes had long been as expected, and this also proved his guess from one side. But this was not enough to make him a positive characterization of his inference and speculation. He also needed evidence.
Xu Changqing squatted down again and picked up a piece of gravel larger than dried vegetables from the ground, which was almost as big as a head. While holding the stone in his hand, the cold air formed by the Water Spirit Battle Technique on his body also invaded the stone, making the already cold stone even colder, and a layer of white frost formed on the surface of the stone. The stone covered with white frost was more eye-catching than the small steaming stone just now. In this empty underground space, even a person with poor eyesight should be able to see clearly.
Then Xu Changqing threw the stone into the air again. This time he not only threw out the stone, but also used hidden weapons to apply a force on the stone, causing the stone to rotate rapidly when it flew through the air, increasing the time of stagnation, and also made a harsh sound, which increased the movement of the stone a lot.
Also when the stone was thrown out, Xu Changqing focused on the three dragon snakes. This time the reaction of the three dragon snakes was different from the moment before. They did not notice the stone at the first time. They did not notice it until the stone flew in the air for a while. Several times they noticed that they seemed to be blinded to the striking stone flying in the air. The snake letter kept vibrating in the air, and the three snake heads were aimed at the direction of the stone landing. None of them could accurately find the position of the stone. Until the stone fell to the ground, the three dragon snakes pointed the snake head at the direction where the stone landed.
At this moment, the smile on Xu Changqing's face became more obvious. From the two experiments, he had learned that although these three dragon snakes had shown signs of metamorphosis and transformation dragons and their power became extremely powerful, they still could not change the essence of snakes, and some snake organs even showed signs of degeneration.
Snakes do not rely on their eyes to find prey. They rely on snake information to collect pheromones in the air, such as odor, heat, etc. to determine the distance, shape and other details of objects. In addition, they also sense the vibration of any object around them through the sensitive organs in the snake body to judge the way the object moves. Although these snakes already have some of the power and physical characteristics of dragons, their method of searching for prey is still the method of snakes. The snake's eyes have not undergone any transformation, and may even degenerate to the point of almost blindness.
It is not difficult to see from the experiment just now that the snake signal function of the dragon snake is still relatively well preserved and can sense changes in heat. However, when the object reaches a certain level, the snake signal function is almost invalid. Even if the object flies past them, they cannot feel its existence. In addition, the sensitive organs used by the snake body to sense vibration have deteriorated a lot compared to the snake signal. Among them, it should be because the snake skin on their bodies becomes thicker and tougher, and the snake scales become stronger. In short, as long as there is no strong vibration, the sensitive organs on the dragon snake's bodies cannot feel any subtle vibration changes, and it is even more impossible to confirm the direction of the prey through this perception.
After figuring this out, Xu Changqing, who was careful, used the same method to perform several experiments to find the standards that the organs of the snakes can sense when they capture prey. Generally, the temperature that the snake's signal can perceive is about ten degrees. Once it is lower than this temperature, the snake's signal's sensing will be completely invalid. Moreover, the snake's signal's sensing of the smell is almost wiped out. Unless Xu Changqing is covered with blood and makes it full of blood, even if Xu Changqing stands in front of it, the snake's signal cannot collect any smell from him. As for the perception of vibration, it is the same. It takes about 200 kilograms of vibration to fall on the ground to be able to perceive a little strange. If you want to sense the specific position of the prey through vibration, you may need thousands of kilograms of force to hit the ground, or use methods to deliberately expand the vibration frequency and range like Xu Changqing did at the beginning.
After the result was a definite result, Xu Changqing tried to walk out of the hidden place.
At the beginning, he did not approach the dragon snakes rashly, but walked back and forth on the edge for a few times. After finding that the dragon snakes did not notice their existence at all, he slowly walked to the front of the dragon snake. As he expected, the body temperature in the water spirit battle technique dropped to the freezing point, and his footsteps also used the light body technique, and the weight of the ground landing was like a feather. At this moment, he was not only standing in front of these dragon snakes without being discovered by them, but even standing on the dragon snake, there was still no danger at all. The only thing to be careful is that he could not stand for too long, because his body was like ice. The cold air on his body would naturally affect the surroundings after staying in a place for a long time, and there would not be too much problem on the ground. If it were on the dragon snake, this effect would inevitably be noticed by them.
After confirming that these dragon snakes were no longer threatening, Xu Changqing no longer took them to heart, began his original plan, and came to the side of those small pools of fortune.
When he saw the arrangement layout and main array talismans of the small fortune pool at the first glance, Xu Changqing was sure that these small fortune pools were from the hands of ancient innate gods, and might even be arranged by Nuwa, because except for some secondary formation talismans that were replaced by the special divine text array talismans here, the rest were all used by the formation runes of ancient innate gods.
However, the small pool of fortune here is different from what I saw in the Imperial Palace. It was originally supposed to be filled with vitality spiritual liquid, spiritual soil or other five elements of spiritual objects in the pool to cultivate different species and nurture different creatures. But now the pool here is all empty, and only one pool has a large number of snake eggs the size of human heads. It seems that these dragon snakes are used as nests for hatching eggs.
Judging from the various traces, the reason why these small pools of fortunes are like this is not that the spiritual objects inside were emptied by someone, but that no spiritual objects were placed in it at the beginning, which also made Xu Changqing doubt the true intention of the people who arranged these small pools of fortunes.
At this time, Xu Changqing, who was puzzled, walked to the small pool of fortune that was filled with a large number of snake eggs, reached out and grabbed a snake egg and looked at it.
"Huh?" After Xu Changqing injected his own blood and energy into the snake egg, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, because he found that the snake egg in front of him, which seemed to be without any damage on the outside, had no vitality and was completely a dead egg, but the green-yellow egg liquid inside it showed no sign of deterioration.
Feeling the abnormality, Xu Changqing moved several snake eggs to each of the different parts of the pool. After checking, he found that all the snake eggs were dead eggs without exception.
There is always a common law between heaven and earth, that is, the more powerful the creatures are, the more difficult it is to reproduce. For example, creatures with strong bloodlines like the Hanhai Dragon Clan will only reproduce one or two descendants in their lifetime for thousands of years, and each reproduction is a test of their own energy and spirit. If they cannot pass the test, they will suffer irrecoverable damage.
Although the dragon snake in front of me is not a real dragon clan, its bloodline is no different from the dragon clan. It is not a big problem that it cannot reproduce successfully. But the real problem is that the situation of these snake eggs is not right. If the offspring cannot reproduce, these snake eggs should have been dead eggs with fatal defects before leaving the body of the snake. But now Xu Changqing found that these snake eggs do not have any defects, and can successfully hatch small snakes according to the egg situation. The reason why it has become such a dead egg that is neither completely completely dead egg nor any sign of life evolution is entirely because the vitality that promotes the evolution of the snake eggs disappears instantly.
"Is it because of the power to remove the vitality of these snake eggs?" Xu Changqing felt a little confused in his heart, and looked up at the innate Dao divine fire that was constantly emitting vitality, then shook his head again, denying his guess.
Then, his gaze stopped on the surrounding small pool of fortune, as if he had thought of something, so he quickly walked to the edge wall, jumped up, stepped on the hexagrams extending outwards, and rushed upwards. When he reached a certain height, he stopped, grabbed the edge of a hexagram with one hand, turned over, looked down, and saw the entire underground space.
