Master of Thermodynamics

Chapter 17 The Shield of Hot Air

The next moment, those creatures disguised as short branches suddenly moved, and they jumped quickly on the thick branches.

In the dim light, Lei Nuo couldn't see their specific appearance clearly. He could only see groups of shadowy black shadows moving in the canopy of the surrounding giant trees, and there were many sounds of flapping wings in the canopy. And a lot of cries.

After hearing these voices, he immediately understood what Sombra was!

They turned out to be some kind of bird!

It turns out that those broken branches were actually disguised by these strange birds. Their feather color and standing posture are very similar to the branches. In addition, they can remain motionless for a long time, which is extremely deceptive. .

Before these strange birds could make a move, Renault moved first!

In his soul space, the Book of Thermodynamics appeared instantly, the first page opened automatically, and the array of runes representing [Reverse Heat Conduction] floated on the page, and a faint golden light began to flow.

Then Lei Nuo looked at a strange bird more than 20 meters away, a large amount of mana leaped to its vicinity, and the air became extremely hot in the blink of an eye.

Under the control of Lei Nuo's mental power, the magic energy jumped to nearly half a meter in front of the strange bird, and only then encountered inexplicable resistance and could not move forward.

The strange bird jumped a few times on the branch, and crashed into the hot air area without realizing it. After the hot air touched its feathers, it burned instantly.

The strange bird screamed in panic and flapped its wings in an attempt to escape from the hot air area. However, the contact surface between the spread wings and the hot air was larger, and its behavior intensified the fire instead, and the ignited flame became More violent!

In the blink of an eye, the strange bird turned into a ball of fire, illuminating the nearby area.

It was only then that Renault saw the appearance of these birds clearly.

Their body length is close to 1 meter, which is not too big in this world. Their feathers are all yellowish brown, which is exactly the same color as the bark. Their legs are extremely thick and their wings are short. Obviously, their flying ability is relatively strong weak.

It is especially worth noting that their sharp beaks are also yellowish brown, but under the light of the fire, there is some kind of brilliance flowing on the surface.

Due to the existence of magic energy, most creatures also have magic energy in their bodies. Many creatures have adapted to the environment of magic energy during the long evolution process, and some parts of their bodies have also mutated.

The beak of this strange bird obviously also belongs to this situation.

The flaming strange bird fell from the branch after only struggling for a moment, and the fireball fell to the ground, still burning, a meaty smell permeated the air.

After Renault smelled the fragrance, his mouth began to salivate uncontrollably, and the feeling of hunger became stronger and stronger.

Moose looked at the strange bird with a trace of confusion in his eyes, as if he was remembering something, then his face changed drastically, and he roared angrily: Damn it, this is a rock cracker! Get out immediately! I will cover...

After hearing the words cracking rock owl, Angela instantly remembered something, and a look of fear appeared on her face.

The Cracked Rockbird is a relatively rare group-living bird in this world. The number of flocks is often as high as more than one hundred, and a few larger flocks even exceed three hundred.

The beaks of rock-cracking owls are extremely hard, harder than steel. When they peck with all their strength, they can even pierce rocks. This is also the source of the word cracking rock in their name.

A single rock-cracking owl is not too strong, but once they gather in a group, the power of pecking at the same time is quite amazing, and they can kill huge prey in an instant! So in the forest, even many powerful beasts dare not provoke them!

But the most frightening thing about them is not their beaks, but their super camouflage ability!

Rockbirds have the uncanny ability to change the color of their feathers to mimic the bark of trees,

As they grow older, their ability to simulate will become stronger and stronger. In their prime, a rock-cracking owl can simulate the bark of more than 10 species of trees at most!

Rockbirds like to stand on the branches of arbors, imitating the shape of the branches, and seem to be one with the real branches, which makes them extremely difficult to distinguish.

Camouflage is also their most important means of hunting. Birds will choose a place in the forest, collectively camouflage themselves as branches, and wait for the prey to fall into the net. Once the prey breaks into the trap, they will attack in groups, using sharp bird The beak kills the prey!

Rock-cracking owls are also quite cunning. They usually only attack single or small prey. If there are a large number of targets, they will only continue to maintain a camouflage state and will not attack.

Therefore, if a large group of human beings encounter a swarm of rock-cracking owls in the forest, there is no need to worry at all, but if the number is small, people below the extraordinary will undoubtedly die! And the death condition is extremely miserable, the body will be poked with countless large holes by the beak of the cracked stone owl, and finally become their food.

However, there are not many groups of rock-cracking owls. They usually move in the depths of the forest, and they are hardly close to human gathering places. There are relatively few murders, so there are not many humans who know this kind of bird.

At this time, there was an extremely high-pitched cry from a distance, and all the rock-cracking owls were silent for a moment, then suddenly started to cry wildly, and the frequency of jumping on the branches increased significantly, and the forest immediately became noisy stand up.

Moose's face has become extremely ugly, and he knows that this group of rock-cracking owls is about to launch an attack!

Some rock-cracking owls that were closer to them suddenly spread their wings, jumped high from the branches, then quickly flapped their wings and swooped down on the three of them.

During the dive, they folded their wings, straightened their feet, kept their bodies streamlined, and quickly landed on them, with their sharp beaks facing them!

If these falling rock-cracking owls are extra-large darts, then the beaks are the extremely sharp spikes on the darts, or super spikes strengthened by magic energy!

It is conceivable that once the darts hit them, these sharp spikes will surely poke a big hole in them!

At this time, more rock-cracking owls flew over from a distance, launching deadly dives one after another, and one after another darts flew quickly in the air.

When the first batch of rock-cracking owls swooped down to a distance of more than ten meters from them, the feathers on their bodies suddenly burned, and seven or eight fireballs appeared in the air in the blink of an eye!

It turned out that Renault had quietly arranged a large area of ​​hot air around the three of them, forming a scorching hot air shield and surrounding them!

After his magic power surges, he can easily do this!

At this moment, the original prey finally revealed its ferocious minions! And this group of menacing rock-cracking owls became prey!
