Working Prophet

Li Yu found a clearer angle for the black dragon in the video, took a screenshot, saved it, and then printed it out with Polaroid.

The Arias family sent people to take them to Yanxue City for help.

And he himself was not idle, he had dinner after get off work, completed a day of fitness exercises, and turned on the computer when he got home.

The opponent this time is different from the previous ones, and Li Yu knows very little about it. So far, he only has a piece of video data in his hand.

This is what the two Dragon Hunting Squads risked their lives in exchange for the tragic price of almost annihilating the entire army.

Considering the terrifying strength and cunning mind shown by the dragon in the video, Li Yu estimated that it would be difficult to collect more useful information later.

He doesn't like this feeling.

It's like fighting an encounter in the fog of war. You don't know anything about the types and numbers of the enemy's troops, so it's difficult to make too many targeted deployments before the war.

Winning or losing depends entirely on luck.

Although he is immortal and can switch sides to reopen if he loses, the believers and wealth he has accumulated before may be lost.

After tossing and tossing for so long, the construction of the religious group finally got on the right track. Li Yu didn't want to start from scratch and do it all over again.

So it is best to resolve this crisis smoothly.

If you want to find a solution to a problem, you must first have a sufficient understanding of the problem.

The videos brought back by Jude are undoubtedly very precious, but one video alone is obviously not enough.

Li Yu entered the word "dragon" in the Google search bar, and then hit enter.

In the search results that popped up, I found the Wikipedia-Dragon (Western) web page, clicked on it, and read it from top to bottom, but unfortunately I didn't gain much.

It has to be said that the appearance rate of dragons in various myths and legends is quite high.

For example, in Greek mythology, the dragon appeared as the guardian of the golden apples, and in Anglo-Saxon mythology, the dragon became Beowulf's opponent and died together with this great hero.

In Celtic mythology, the red dragon represents the British nation, while the white dragon symbolizes the Saxon nation. The victory of the red dragon over the white dragon means that the British people will eventually drive away the hateful Saxon invaders. Then the red dragon simply became a symbol of Wales and appeared in the Welsh flag.

As for the Nordic mythology, there are even more famous dragons, such as Nidhogg who devoured the world tree and brought the dusk of the gods, Jormungandr who surrounded the world, and Fafnir who was transformed from a dwarf.

In addition, there are also such monsters in Slavic mythology.

As for Chinese mythology, there are more stories about dragons, but Chinese dragons and Western dragons are obviously not the same species.

Although both are called dragons, the difference between them is probably greater than that of red pandas and giant pandas. Li Yu still focuses on Western dragons, although Westerners themselves have huge differences in their descriptions of dragons. That’s it.

For example, in ancient Greece, most dragons had no wings or legs, but they could secrete venom. In Babylonian mythology, the dragon is more like a unicorn, with lion's feet, eagle claws, scales, and a scorpion needle at its tail.

Li Yu browsed some information on the Internet, and found that the dragon in the heroic narrative poem "Beowulf" was closer in appearance to the thing in the swamp.

He has a slender figure, can fly, and can breathe fire. As for the venom hidden in his teeth, Li Yu hasn't verified it yet, and it can't be seen from the video data brought back by Jude for the time being, so it can only be placed in the pending area.

And this is almost the typical description of Western dragons in popular literature and film and television works.

However, in these fictional works or myths and legends, dragons often appear together with magic, or they themselves are some kind of monsters with divine power.

However, there is no magic on the Bratis Continent. At least according to Hephaestus, all the universes selected by the third era to be able to produce and harvest faith deviate from the universe that modern humans live in today. The value will not exceed 5%.

All the rules of chemistry and classical physics still apply.

As far as Li Yu's personal experience has been for more than a month now, he has not seen any humans or creatures that can master magic.

Therefore, although this black dragon is really similar to those in "A Song of Ice and Fire", Li Yu still tends to analyze it from a biological point of view, rather than covering it with a layer of magic.

It would be best to find some exploitable weaknesses in its body structure.

So Li Yu decided to change his mind and no longer search for clues from myths and legends, but tried to find answers from existing creatures.

He closed his eyes and recalled the video footage he got during the day.

According to Jude's description, the dragon they met was seven meters long, and the only reptile on earth that could approach this length was the crocodile.

But the crocodile is just longer, and its size is far different from that of the black dragon.

And the most important thing is that the dragon can fly, so now the question is, how can such a huge creature fly from the land?

Li Yu looked through the catalog of all flying animals on earth, but could not find a single player of this magnitude.

The heaviest bird on earth is the North African ostrich, which is only three meters tall and weighs three hundred pounds. It has completely lost the ability to fly.

But if we look back in history, all the way to the Cretaceous.

From 84 million years ago to 65 million years ago, there lived the largest flying creature known to mankind - Aeolian Pterosaur.

Its wingspan can exceed 11 meters and its weight reaches an astonishing 500 kilograms. It can prey on Tyrannosaurus rex and is a well-deserved dominance in the air.

Li Yu then searched some popular science literature about Aeolian Pterosaur. How Aeolian Pterosaur flew has always been a hot topic among researchers.

At present, academic circles generally believe that Aeolian Pterosaurs may need updrafts when flying, or use ground effects to fly long distances or rise. In addition, some people also say that the atmosphere during the Cretaceous period may be denser than it is now... …'

There is a saying that aroused Li Yu's interest. When flying, most animals cannot take off by flapping their wings alone. They also need to push their hind legs on the ground to give upward thrust.

Li Yu once again recalled the video that Jude brought back. At the end of the video, he captured the scene of the black dragon leaving. The guy's hind legs did make a forceful kick on the ground at that time. Its well-developed muscles It was originally used here.

In other words, if the dragon's hind legs can be injured, does it mean that it will lose the ability to take off?

Li Yu wrote this down in his notes.
