Looking at the gray cat, Hardy was almost lying on the ground, but its butt was raised high. From time to time, it would raise its head high and sniff the air and the ground. A certain someone thought, could it be that the search strategy of these cats was to sniff out the female cat all the way out?
He thought that they would have a better cat search strategy, but it turned out to be the same one that animals were good at. It was no wonder that he was despised. As a human, his sense of smell could not be better than cats and dogs.
Lin thought about what he could do to speed up the rescue. On one hand, if the female cat was really in danger, then the faster he rescued her, the higher the chance of her survival.
On the other hand, he had a fixed mathematics class to attend every day. It was related to his great cause of establishing his authority in mathematics, so he could not easily skip work. Also, it was strange to leave the mission here at the last minute and wait for him to finish teaching for two hours before coming back to continue. So he had to find the cat quickly.
In the process of thinking, Lin suddenly noticed that the light of magic authority on Hardy's body was not as conspicuous as before. When he saw these cats, they were like bright light bulbs in his vision. They were very dazzling no matter where they went.
But now the light on Hardy's body was hidden and replaced by a thin layer of blue light that covered the surface of its body. Moreover, it would leave traces of magic aura on the ground after it walked past.
He wanted to sneak attack from behind and pick up the cat, but Hardy jumped away first with a vigilant expression and said, "Human, what are you doing?"
"I'm just asking, did you cast a protective spell on yourself now?"
"Yes, I did. So what?"
"Why?" Lin asked again.
"What do you mean why? If you want to move in the Abyss and inhale too much of the miasma here, your stamina will be wasted. That's why you cast a protective spell on yourself. Besides purifying the air, you also need to hide yourself. This is common sense. "
Cat common sense? I don't have this kind of knowledge. Suddenly, Lin Xiang thought of a question and asked, "Do you think your female cat can use this spell?"
"This … she definitely can. Otherwise, how can she move in the Abyss? That is, unless it is caught and its ability to use magic is also sealed. "
"Then teach me this spell," Lin Xiao said with a smile.
"Now? That's right, you don't have any protection on you, and you're wearing such tattered clothes. As a human mage, how dare you come to the Abyss like this? Is there something wrong with your head? I really don't understand why the king chose a human like you to do this. "Hardy inexplicably changed the topic and complained.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about those things. Teach me this defensive magic first. This is very important for our next move. "
Wheeze still tried its best to explain the magic that wasn't exclusive to cats in the simplest way possible. The structure of the spell model was not difficult. After knowing the general idea, Lin could quickly correct it until the spell could be used normally.
Wheeze Hardy wasn't surprised by a certain someone's abnormal learning speed. In other words, for a cat, such a learning speed was normal. However, it would take a lot of time to get used to it.
This difference in understanding was due to the language of communication between cats. It was more beneficial for teaching magic. This was because the content of the beast language contained the imprint of authority, unlike the human language which had to be converted into direct understanding of authority through incantations. It was like understanding Shakespeare's play in Chinese, or reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in English. Even if they could understand it, they would still be a little short of understanding and unable to understand it completely.
That being said, a certain someone didn't want to emphasize how powerful he was in front of a cat. Actually, he didn't have such self-awareness because there was an even more powerful monster at home. Fen could roughly analyze some simple spells just by observing the flow of authority. After using it a few times, she could create a spell that was even better than the original. A certain someone couldn't even be bothered to complain about such strength.
Lin Xiao didn't want to use this spell on himself. He wanted to grasp the characteristics of this spell's authority sequence.
As expected, with his specialized vision, Lin Xiao saw a lot of messy footprints on the ground. Some of the footprints were dim, and some were almost gone. Only one of them was the clearest, and it stretched towards a certain direction. He asked Wheeze, "Other than you, did any other cat come in recently?"
"As far as I know, we are the first batch to enter the Abyss after Mao Ni went missing."
"Oh, not bad. Then follow me, I have a clue. "Lin Xiao didn't explain much and ran towards a certain direction.
Wheeze didn't want to follow at first, but the direction Lin Xiao chose was one of the directions it suspected. It had no choice but to follow him.
Lin Xiao was almost jogging along the way, and Hardy was quite reluctant to follow him at first. But Mao Ni's scent never stopped along the way. It made Wheeze suspect that this human had found some kind of tracking method. In the end, Wheeze didn't have time to think too much about it. It just followed while confirming the scent.
When someone stopped, it meant that there was an abnormal creature nearby. All living creatures in the Abyss could be labeled as a demon, but there was a world of difference between their strength and their weakness. Of course, compared to the weakest creatures in the maze and the Abyss, the weakest creatures in the Abyss were still much stronger.
According to human standards of good and evil, the creatures here could be classified as evil. But for them who lived here, it was just a daily life. It was like a lion hunting an antelope. According to human standards of good and evil, a lion that killed a living creature could be considered evil. But for lions and antelopes, it was just something they had to do to survive.
At any rate, Lin Xiao didn't have any preconceived ill feelings towards the creatures of the Abyss. Of course, it was only right to teach them a lesson if they showed off in front of him too much. But the main purpose of this trip was to rescue, and he had found a way to track them. So, Lin Xiao decided to hide his tracks and avoid contact with the Abyss Denizens.
On the way, whenever he encountered an Abyss Denizen, he would take a detour if he could, and stop if he couldn't, and wait for them to pass by. For Lin Xiao who was used to using the HUD to play games, it wasn't hard to turn on detection and display effects to predict the direction of movement in advance.
Moreover, the more data he collected on Mao Ni's footprints, the more Lin Xiao could use the decline of his authority to determine that these were traces left a few days ago and that the cat had passed by this place four days ago. For a beast, it was unimaginably fast to discover that one of their kind had gone missing in such a short time and send out a rescue team.
But this also proved one thing. A lot of cats cared about Mao Ni, which was why they could discover her disappearance in such a short time and react. Speaking of which, he had transmigrated for more than a decade. Has anyone on Earth ever looked for him?
… …
Forget it, let's not think too much about it. Even if someone wanted to look for him, they wouldn't be able to find him. After all, there was an astronomical distance between him and Earth. Even if there was a mistake in the decimal point of a million, he might be thrown out of the solar system by Blink.
"Hardy, we need to speed up. You can keep up, right? "Lin Xiao said while jogging.
"I think you're too slow, human. Run as fast as you can, I won't lose you. "The gray cat Hardy kept running with its four short little legs, but said arrogantly.
But judging from its performance, it did look like it was doing it with ease. It was just that at the beginning, a certain cat couldn't even take a step after touching and sniffing around for a long time. This kind of thing … Let's not talk about it.
Lin Xiao cast a full set of speed increasing spells on himself. Speaking of which, this set of spells was quite commonly used before he entered the Tower of the Great Sage. It was only suppressed to match the strength of the two apprentices. After entering the Magic Tower, he basically didn't need this spell. After that, although he left the Magic Tower, he learned Blink, so he didn't need to use it anymore.
This time, because he had a cat with him, he couldn't use Blink to move alone. So he used this set of spells that he hadn't used for a long time, and used it with all his strength. In an instant, the surrounding scenery moved back as fast as lightning. But his speed after using all his strength … was really slow.
Not to mention the supersonic fighter jets on Earth, even the high-speed railway on the ground couldn't be compared at all. Moreover, Wheeze, Hardy, who was following behind him looked completely relaxed as well. If it wasn't for the fact that it couldn't quickly determine the direction to go, it probably would've shaken him off long ago. It could only be said that after learning Blink, he became lazy in many aspects.
Suddenly, the running man and cat stopped at the fork in the canyon. Hardy passed by a certain person, sniffed at the two passages, and said, "We should take the right passage."
Lin shook his head and said, "The right passage does have more traces left by the other cat, but I think we should take the left passage."
"Why? What basis do you have? "
He knew that if he didn't give a reason, he wouldn't be able to convince the cat. Lin waved his hand, and used the Whiteboard Brush to mark the footprints he saw on the ground. There was a row of cat footprints on the left passage, but it was relatively sparse. There were also footprints on the right passage, but they were more and more messy. Lin said,
"This is what I saw. After you used protective spells, you left footprints where you passed. There are more on the right, and less on the left. If you use smell to confirm, the smell should be heavier on the right, and lighter on the left. "
"That's right."
"But if we try to identify the direction of the person who left the footprints on the footprints, this result will appear."
Lin continued to use the Whiteboard Brush to simulate a cat, and this cat's body fit the width and span of the footprints on the ground. He used this cat's form to show the footprints Mao Ni had walked on, and reproduced the cat's posture. In the right passage, there was a cat walking towards the depths of the passage, and a simulated image of a cat walking back from the depths of the passage. On the left, there was only an image of a cat walking into the distance.
Hardy looked at the simulated cat. It was somewhat similar to him, except that it was slightly smaller in size. It first curiously used its front paw to poke the product of the Whiteboard Brush, and then understood and said, "You're saying that the reason there are more traces on the right passage is because Mao Ni walked back."
"Yes."
"How can you be sure of this?"
"Your cat claws and meatballs are not indistinguishable from each other. You agree with this point. If that's the case, it's not difficult to identify the direction from the footprints. "
