Watching the gray cat Hardy almost lying on the ground, but with his butt raised high, he would raise his head high from time to time, smelling the smell in the air and on the ground. Someone thought to himself, maybe the cat-finding strategy of this group of cats relies on sniffing, so they should sniff out the female cat.
I originally thought they would have some better strategies for finding cats, but it turned out to be the same strategy that animals are good at. It's no wonder that he is despised. As a human, his sense of smell cannot be better than that of cats and dogs.
Lin thought of ways he could do it to speed up the rescue. On the one hand, if the female cat is really in crisis, the sooner rescue is provided, the higher the chance of survival.
On the other hand, I also have fixed math classes to attend every day, which is related to the great cause of establishing my mathematical authority, so I can't miss work easily. It is also strange to leave the action here temporarily and come back to continue after I have finished teaching the two-hour class. So you have to find the cat quickly.
In the process of thinking, Lin suddenly noticed that the magical power aura on the gray cat Hardy was not as conspicuous as before. When I first saw this group of cats, they were like bright light bulbs in my vision, and they were very dazzling no matter where they walked.
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, there will be traces of magic aura left on the ground.
I wanted to sneak up from behind and pick up the cat, but Hardy jumped away first, showing a wary look and saying, "Human, what are you going to do?"
"Let me ask, have you added a layer of protective magic to yourself now?"
"It's added, so what?"
"Why?" Lin asked again.
"Why? If you want to move in the abyss, if you inhale too much of the miasma here, your physical strength will be wasted a lot. So adding protective magic to yourself, in addition to purifying the air, you also need to hide yourself. This is common sense."
Common sense about cats, I don’t have such knowledge. Suddenly Lin thought of a question and asked: "Do you think your female cat can also use this magic?"
"This... must be used, otherwise it would not be able to operate in the abyss. Unless it is caught, its ability to use magic is banned."
"Then teach me this magic." Lin said with a smile.
"Now? That's right. You don't have any protection on your body, and you are wearing rags. As a human magician, you dare to run into the abyss like this. Are you sick? I really don't understand why the king wants to Choose a human like you to do this." Hardy complained as he tilted the building inexplicably.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about those things, teach me this protective magic first. This is related to our next actions, it is very important."
In the midst of cursing, Gray Cat Hardy used as simple a method as possible to describe this magic that was not exclusive to cats. The structure of the spell model is not difficult. After knowing a general outline, Lin can quickly make corrections until the magic can function normally.
Gray Cat Hardy was not surprised by someone's unusual learning speed. In other words, this learning speed is normal for cats. It just takes more time to become proficient.
This gap in understanding is due to the language of communication between cats, which is more beneficial to teaching magic. Because the content of animal language itself contains the imprint of power, unlike human language, it must be converted by spells before it can become an intuitive recognition of power. It's like using Chinese to understand Shakespeare's plays and using English to read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Even if you can understand it, you will still be a little short of understanding and unable to understand it clearly.
But no one wants to be in front of a cat, just emphasize that he is awesome. It means that he himself does not have that kind of consciousness, because there is an even more powerful pervert in his family. Fen can roughly analyze some simple magic just by observing the flow of power. After using it a few times, you can create magic that works better than the original. No one is too lazy to complain about this strength.
Lin learned this magic not to use it on himself, but to master the power ranking characteristics of this magic.
Sure enough, with his specialized vision, Lin saw quite messy footprints on the ground. Some of the footprints are dim, and some have almost disappeared. Only one is the clearest, extending towards somewhere. Then he asked the gray cat: "Besides you, have any cats other than the female cat come in recently?"
"As far as I know, we were the first ones to enter the abyss after Mao Ni disappeared."
"Oh, that's good. Then follow me, I have a clue." Lin didn't explain much and just ran in a certain direction.
The gray cat Hardy didn't want to follow him at first, but the direction chosen by the other party was one of the directions he had doubts about. I have no choice but to keep up.
Lin was almost jogging along the way, and Hardy followed reluctantly at first. But along the way, the smell of Mao Ni never stopped, which made the gray cat suspect that this human had really found some kind of tracking method. In the end, it didn't have time to think too much and just followed it while confirming the taste.
When someone stops, there is an abnormal creature approaching nearby. All living creatures in the abyss can be labeled as demons, but there is a huge difference in their strength and weakness. Of course, comparing the weakest creatures in the abyss and the abyss, the lowest level of the abyss creatures is still much higher than that in the abyss.
Based on human standards of good and evil, all creatures here can be classified into the evil camp. But for them living here, it's just daily life. Just like a lion hunting an antelope, according to human standards of good and evil, killing a lion can be considered evil, but for lions and antelopes, this is just an act necessary for their survival.
Anyway, someone has no preconceived dislike for the creatures in the abyss. Of course, those who show off too much and show off in front of themselves should be given a severe lesson. However, the main purpose of this trip was rescue, and he had already found a way to track it, so someone decided to hide his whereabouts and not intend to contact the people of the abyss.
On the way, when you encounter the people of the abyss, take a detour if you can. If you can't, stop and wait for the other party to pass. For someone who is accustomed to using HUD to play games, it is not difficult to predict the direction of movement in advance by turning on the detection and image display effects.
And as more data on Mao Ni's footprints are collected, Lin can use the decline of power dissipation to determine that these are traces left a few days ago, and conclude that the cat passed through this place four days ago. . For a beast, it was unimaginably fast to discover that a member of the same race was missing and to dispatch a rescue team at such a short time.
But this also proves one thing from the side. There are many cats who care about Mao Ni, so they found out that the other cat was missing and responded in such a short period of time. I have traveled through time for more than ten years, has anyone on Earth ever looked for me?
…
Forget it, don’t think too much. Even if someone really wanted to find me, they wouldn't be able to find me. After all, there is an astronomical gap between him and the earth. Even if the calculation of the decimal point in a million is wrong, he may be thrown to a place outside the solar system by the flash technique.
"Hardy, we need to speed up. You can keep up." Lin said while jogging.
"I still think you are too slow, human. Just run, there is no way I will lose you." The gray cat Hardy kept walking on his four short legs, but he said nonchalantly.
However, judging from the opponent's performance, he is indeed quite at ease. It's just that at the beginning, a certain cat kept fussing around for a long time and couldn't even take a step out. Such things...it's better not to mention it.
Give yourself a full set of movement speed-increasing magic. It is said that this set of magic was quite commonly used before settling in the Tower of the Great Sage. Just to match the strength of the two apprentices, they were still suppressed. After entering the magic tower, you basically don't need this kind of magic. Although I left the magic tower later, I learned the flash technique and no longer needed it.
This time, because I was carrying a cat, I couldn't move by myself using the flash spell, so I used this long-lost magic and used it with all my strength. In an instant, the scene around him was like lightning, and he kept retreating. But this speed after exerting all my strength... is really slow.
Not to mention compared with the supersonic fighter jets on the earth, there is no comparison with the high-speed railway running on the ground. And the gray cat Hardy following behind him also looked relaxed. It is estimated that if it had not been able to quickly confirm the direction it should go, it would have abandoned itself long ago. I can only say that after learning the flash technique, I seem lazy in many aspects.
Suddenly, a man and a cat were running and stopped at a fork in the road before the canyon. Hardy passed someone, sniffed toward both passages, and said, "We should take the right passage."
Lin shook his head and said: "It is 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?"
He knew that he would not be able to convince the cat unless he explained why. Lin waved his hand and used the whiteboard technique to mark the footprints he saw on the ground. There is a row of cat footprints in the left passage, which are relatively sparse; there are also footprints in the right passage, but they are numerous and messy. Lin said:
"This is what I saw, after you used protective magic, you left footprints where you passed. There are more on the right and less on the left. If you confirm it by smelling it, the smell on the right should be stronger. , the one on the left is lighter."
"That's right."
"But this is what happens if we are on top of the footprints and try to figure out the direction of the person who left the footprints."
Lin continued to use whiteboard techniques to simulate a cat, and the size of the cat matched the width and span of the footprints on the ground. And the shape of this cat was used to appear on the footsteps that Mao Ni walked, recreating the posture of the cat. In the passage on the right, there is only a simulated image of a cat walking towards the depths of the passage and walking back from the depths of the passage, while on the left there is only an image of a cat walking away.
Hardy looked at the simulated light and shadow cat, which was somewhat similar to himself, except that it was slightly smaller. It first used its front paws to poke at the products of the whiteboard writing skills curiously, and then came to understand and said: "You mean that the reason why there are more traces in the right passage is because Mao Ni turned back."
"Yes."
"How do you determine this?"
"Your cat's claws and meatballs are not indistinguishable from front to back. You agree with this. In this case, it is not difficult to identify the direction of walking from the footprints."
