Chapter 31 Bearded Beard Is the Body of a Dwarf
Although Lei Jiu and the others were endowed with the ability to float in the air by flying thaumaturgy, without the resistance of the ground, they could not walk even if they took steps in the air.
Neither the direction nor the speed of movement can be controlled. If there is a strong wind at this time, it is estimated that they will all be blown away.
The control of the direction and speed of movement is all in the hands of the caster, Nicotine.
In fact, just keeping a few people floating does not consume a lot of magic power, but while floating, whether it is up or down, or forward or backward, the consumption of magic power will increase in a curve, the faster the moving speed, the higher the consumption. The more exaggerated.
From the perspective of efficiency, the faster the speed, the better, so as to reduce the time spent on the road.
But in order to let nicotine retain enough magic power to send them back, it is naturally not advisable to do so. So, now they can only fly forward at three times the speed of paddle boats.
The goal of their trip is the largest island within 20 kilometers of Huanghuang Island (the undercurrent blockade outside the first island chain is 8 kilometers away from Huanghuang Island).
Half an hour later, the group arrived at the No. 2 island in Lei Jiukou's mouth. Because sooner or later it would be integrated into Huanghuang Island, he chose the name of the island very casually.
Like the four innocuous small islands in the first island chain except for Island No. 1, he is not even qualified to name them with numbers.
And names like No. 1 and No. 2 can be used repeatedly. The original No. 1 and No. 2 islands have been merged, and new ones will be added. Anyway, this code name only represents the fusion priority in Lei Jiu's mind. Spend.
By the way, how high can you fly with nicotine?
Obviously, what Lei Jiu was asking about was nicotine itself, not flying thaumaturgy. Because of the flight limit height of flying thaumaturgy, he has already asked before, and the answer is 10,000 meters, which is high enough.
If it is used by someone with insufficient magic power, it is likely to fly up and fall freely.
Me? The current state...about 10 meters. If you untie the connection with the magic lamp, you can fly up to about 1,000 meters!
10 m?
Lei Jiu shook his head. At a height of 10 meters, it is impossible to overlook and investigate. There should not be too many trees on the island that are more than 20 to 30 meters high.
1000 meters is definitely enough, at least the field of vision is wide enough, but unfortunately, once Nicotine is disconnected from the magic lamp, he has to provide Nicotine with at least one magic power crystal every week for him to use to maintain the normal condensate.
Magic crystal is a very rare mineral deposit, usually in the element crystal mine, there is a probability of accompanying it.
The elemental crystal ore itself is very rare. As its possible associated ore, the rarity of the magic crystal can be imagined.
Obviously, Lei Jiu can't get magic power crystals, so it's impossible to liberate nicotine, Can Nian!
Seeing that it was almost noon, there was no time to worry about it, and everyone started the exploration journey of No. 2 Island.
After all, this island is much larger than Island No. 1. Although it cannot be calculated accurately for a while, it is certain that it is more than 10 square kilometers.
The area that needs to be explored is large, and with the addition of Nangong Yu, a mage who is holding back physically, even if they are just exploring in general, they must hurry up and try to return to the paddle boat to meet before it is completely dark .
The terrain of No. 2 Island can be roughly divided into two parts, most of which are mountainous areas, and in the south of the mountainous areas, there is a section of valley plains that occupies one-fifth of the total area.
The landing site of Lei Jiu and his party is on the north side of the mountain.
This mountain is larger than the entire No. 1 island, but there are not many animal resources. Whether it is herbivorous or carnivorous, even birds are basically invisible, and there are no traces of monsters. Everyone was puzzled.
Strange!
After discovering three springs in a row, Lei Jiu couldn't help but make a sound.
The...indeed,
Yes, huh...there are plenty of water resources, lush vegetation...insects...seem to be...not too rare, but...very few birds and beasts are seen!
Having just crossed the top of the mountain, Nangong Qi was already out of breath from exhaustion.
Nangong, why don't you let Luo Zheng carry you? Seeing that Nangong Piao collapsed beside a slanting tree just by speaking, Lei Jiu couldn't help but speak.
No... no need! If you don't carry me, if there is... an emergency, it will... hinder Luo Zheng!
But once you stop like this, it will be very difficult to stand up again, because you have too little climbing experience.
Island Master, something is wrong!
Um?
I wasn't too sure just now, but in this position now, I can obviously find a lot of leftover traces!
What trace?
Traces of hunting!
Is there anyone on this island?
It should be, but there is one thing I can't figure out.
What is it?
The height of these traces is surprisingly short, more like it was caused by some children, strange!
child?
Two thoughts flashed in Lei Jiu's mind, halfling or dwarf?
…
Ten minutes later, Nangong Yu was finally able to stand up on his own, and the four of them set off again, Everyone, be careful when you move forward!
As soon as Lei Jiu's reminder came out, his voice seemed to turn into a prophetic guidance, and there were continuous rustling sounds in the woods on both sides.
Although I don't know what is coming, but it is obvious that the number will not be small.
Everyone quickly adjusted their formation, with Luo Zheng at the front, Nangong Yu and Nicotine defending the left and right wings, and Lei Jiu, of course, stayed in the middle honestly.
Although he claims that his combat skills are not weak, even if he is a master among players, he is confident that he can fight two moves. Of course, the premise is that the attributes and equipment of both sides are similar.
But he is only at level 0 at this time, his attributes are too low, and his opponent is an NPC. Unless he is a scum like an ordinary small beast, if he rushes up, he may not even have a chance to make a move, and he will be directly killed. Spike.
Just as he was ready to defend himself, a dozen or so bearded beards popped out from the woods.
These bearded men are all dressed in civilian clothes, wearing iron helmets, muscular, and carrying a big hammer in their hands. If they are not all about 1.1 meters tall, their aura must be quite scary.
Such a height, coupled with a big beard all over the face, yes, these are dwarves.
The life expectancy of halflings generally does not exceed 30 years old, so even though they are about the same height as dwarves, halflings are very soft-faced and never grow beards.
In contrast, dwarves especially like to grow beards.
Because of customs, female dwarves generally don't go out and leave the settlement, and male dwarves all have big beards, so in people's perception, beards have directly become the standard equipment for dwarves.
Looking at the faces buried in the beards, you can't see their faces clearly, and you don't know how to distinguish the identities between the dwarves. Could it be that the beard is the body?
But in Lei Jiu's eyes, there seems to be no difference between their beards!
The reason why Lei Jiu still had the time to think about it was because he had been paying attention to the expressions of Luo Zheng and Nangong Yu. After these short bearded people popped out, the expressions of the two of them obviously relaxed a lot.
Obviously, although this group of dwarves outnumber them, it is impossible to compare their combat power.
How about it?
Island owner, although I don't know what race they are, but I can be sure that the duty of these little people should be to be responsible for hunting.
It was Luo Zheng who spoke, and he was more familiar with this aspect.
A hunting party of dwarves?
No wonder there are not many animals on the island. They were all eaten up by these dwarfs. Don’t these guys with muscles growing into their heads know sustainable development?
If you don’t even know how to save the seeds, don’t even think about eating meat in the future.
What strength?
The combat power is generally around 30-40, which is about the same as those ordinary islanders on Huanghuang Island. If we want to form a hunting team, with this combat power, we will definitely not be able to get in.
Why?
Isn't it better than a group of dwarves? Such a proud tone?
