Master of Thermodynamics

The closer you get to the edge of the black forest, the taller trees become rarer, and the corresponding shrubs and weeds become more lush. Because there is less interception of sunlight by the branches and leaves of the trees, they get more light and grow better than their counterparts deep in the forest. too much.

Also because more sunlight reaches the ground, the temperature has also risen significantly. In addition, these chest-high grass are airtight, which makes people feel even more stuffy. When walking inside, you will be sweating after a while.

Renault, a rather indolent guy, had already activated his ability [reverse heat conduction] and created a low-temperature area around him. Angela closely followed Renault, this "humanoid air conditioner", enjoying the rare coolness.

The temptation of "air conditioning" was so great that even Angela, an extremely tenacious little girl, quickly fell for it after experiencing it once. After Renault "turned on the air conditioning", she only hesitated for a moment before taking the initiative to come over.

Moreover, there is another advantage of following Renault. When encountering particularly dense grass, he will also use [Psychic Power] to push aside the grass to form an easier passage, which will save more effort when walking.

Only Mus, a taciturn big man, declined Renault's kindness and walked alone at the front of the team, hacking at the grass and shrubs with his heavy sword from time to time, trying to clear a path.

As for San Shao, this guy has been running around happily around Angela, and rolling in the grass from time to time. At first glance, he just looks like a stupid dog. No one would have thought that this guy is actually quite capable. Insidious and cunning.

Surprisingly, although the fur on its body is quite thick, it has no interest in "air conditioning", and after running in the grass for so long, it doesn't seem to feel hot at all.

It is obvious that it either has a unique means of dissipating heat, or it has some ability to create low temperatures that can cool itself down. Considering that it is a magical mutant creature, Renault prefers the latter.

After the three of them had just climbed over a small hill, Sansha saw a quite lush meadow at the bottom of the slope. It immediately let out an excited "oooo" and flew through the grass, running to a distance of 6.6 meters from the meadow. When he was 7 meters away, he jumped up and threw himself heavily on the meadow, overwhelming a large area of ​​weeds.

Renault glanced at the funny dog ​​and couldn't help showing a speechless expression.

At this time, Sansha suddenly stood up alertly, his ears stood up high, ripples flashed across his body, and his hair gradually began to change color.

Optical camouflage!

Sansha's hair quickly turned into light green, mixed with some dark green stripes, and it seemed to be integrated with the surrounding environment. If Renault hadn't known that there was a dog on the meadow, it would have been difficult to distinguish it at a glance.

Its hearing is more sensitive than humans, it can hear subtler sounds, and the frequency range it perceives is far beyond that of humans. It can detect sounds that the three Renaults cannot hear.

There is no doubt that it must have heard an unusual noise, so it activated its camouflage ability!

Seeing its appearance, Renault reacted immediately. He pulled out the cross sword without hesitation. The two metal spikes quickly detached from his belt and floated on both sides of his body. Angela and Moose also placed A vigilant posture.

Sansha turned around and ran briskly towards the girl. His running speed was not slow, but when his paws landed on the ground, he made no sound. The sound of grass blades rubbing against his hair was also inaudible. His talent for concealment was truly top-notch.

After it ran to the girl, the girl asked softly: "Three idiots, is there something in the distance?"

Sansha simply nodded to the girl. After following the three of them for a few days, it could now understand many common Chinese languages.

Renault and the girl looked at each other, and both of them thought of one word at the same time - black orc.

This place is the outermost part of the forest. The three of them have discovered many traces of human activities. It is obvious that there must be a gathering place of humans nearby.

At this time, the Mushan Kingdom has completely collapsed.

The major black orc tribes have been competing to capture humans as slaves. As the black orc army advances to the east of the kingdom, those large tribes have set their sights on larger human towns.

Small and medium-sized black orc tribes dare not compete with large tribes for food, and can only plunder relatively remote villages and towns. The black forest has always been rich in products, and there are many human villages scattered around it. The orc tribe is watching.

In other words, the noise in the distance is most likely caused by the black orcs!

Renault's expression became serious. He stared at San Sha seriously and asked in a low voice: "Are there too many noises in front?"

But Sansha didn't respond to his words. When he asked the question, he could clearly see Sansha's ears moving, but it deliberately ignored him, clearly showing that it still held a grudge against him.

Renault cursed secretly and began to threaten it verbally: "Do you still want me to help you barbecue in the future?"

San Shao immediately turned his head. The blue dog's eyes were full of disdain. Not only that, it actually stuck out its tongue at Renault, showing him with actions: San Shao will never accept any coercion!

Renault was a little annoyed: Damn it, the dog is quite tough!

His eyes immediately focused on the dog leash around Sansha's neck, but Sansha had already expected this move. It quickly leaned towards Angela and rubbed its head against the girl's delicate hand affectionately.

It is very smart and knows that as long as it pleases the girl, she will not sit back and let Renault take care of it!

Sure enough, Angela stopped Renault immediately, her pretty face was full of helplessness: "Can you guys stop making trouble?"

Renault had no choice but to give up. He glared at Sansi with some reluctance, but Sansi was hiding behind the girl and peeking at him. Seeing Renault, it actually grinned and wagged its tail proudly.

Renault sneered, and a metal spike floated over quietly, aiming at the dog's tail and whipping it hard.

Sansha was caught off guard and jumped up on the spot with a "ouch" of pain. He glared at Renault with a pair of big dog eyes, and even tried to pounce on Renault.

Angela sighed with a headache. Seeing that a civil war was about to break out, she quickly grabbed Sansha's dog leash and pulled it away with all her strength.

San Sha was dragged back and forth, struggling angrily and screaming at the girl's aggrieved "Woo", so the girl had no choice but to comfort it.

But Renault saw through the hypocritical nature of this guy at a glance. It definitely weighed more than 200 kilograms. If it really struggled hard, the girl would never be able to drag it.

This bitch simply didn't dare to rush forward and confront Renault. If it dared to rush forward, he could turn it into a dog meal in minutes, so the three idiots deliberately asked the girl to drag it away.

Through this trick, on the one hand, it can find a way out, showing that it is not afraid of Renault, but only because it was stopped by the girl, so it had to give in; on the other hand, it can take the opportunity to pretend to be wronged and win the girl's sympathy!

What a scheming bitch!
