Chapter 25 Anti-kill

A smile suddenly appeared on Renault’s face.

Because the poisonous insect jumped into the trap!

The moment it passed the heat shield, it felt as if it had fallen into an extremely cold ice cave.

That’s right, this area inside the heat shield, except for the three standing positions, has completely turned into an extremely cold region!

When he sensed that the poisonous insect might have other intentions, Renault set a trap.

When making the heat shield, he raised the air temperature by a large amount, and the venom was evaporated as soon as it entered the heat shield, and the evaporation rate was faster, and no drop of the venom penetrated the heat shield.

Renault also intends to extract heat only from the central area of ​​the heat shield, gradually reducing the temperature in this area to a very low level.

The hands and feet that Renault made, the poisonous insects did not notice, although it has magical infrared vision, it does not mean that it can see all infrared rays.

Any substance above absolute zero can produce infrared, but the temperature is different, the wavelength of infrared is also different, the higher the temperature, the shorter the wavelength, and vice versa.

Just as human eyes can only see electromagnetic waves between 400 and 760 nm, infrared vision is only limited to a certain frequency band. The longer the wavelength, the more difficult it is to observe.

Therefore, when Renault uses [reverse heat conduction] to cool down, the wavelength of the infrared rays emitted by the low-temperature air is getting longer and longer, which exceeds the visible range of the poisonous insects. Coupled with the interference of the high-temperature area, the poisonous insects did not notice at all, and it was about to jump in. That area has become an extremely cold ice region!

As cold-blooded animals, insects are far weaker in resistance to cold than warm-blooded animals. They have no mechanism to regulate their own temperature in their bodies, and their ability to adapt to the environment is quite weak.

Insects that are accustomed to working in a warm environment, once the temperature starts to drop, the metabolic rate will decrease, and the body temperature will also drop. When the temperature is low to a certain level, they have to choose to hibernate.

What if the temperature continues to drop? What will happen?

Before crossing, Renault was an otaku who was addicted to his hobbies. In a documentary called “Frozen Planet”, he learned that there is an extremely tough life on the earth, which is the larva of the Arctic lamp moth.

To sum up the larvae of the Arctic Light Moth in one sentence, it is “exhausting a lifetime to emerge from the cocoon”!

When the Arctic winter comes, the larvae of the Arctic Tiger moth will be slightly frozen, the free water in the body will freeze, the blood will freeze, and even the heart will stop beating in the end.

But when it returned to the earth in the spring of the second year, a miracle happened. After the ice in the body was thawed, it came back to life!

Arctic lamp moth larvae will desperately eat during the short arctic summer to get more nutrients, until winter comes again, it turns into ice again.

In this way, after more than 10 cold and heat, after being repeatedly frozen more than 10 times, it finally started to spin and evolve into an adult!

In the documentary, Renault learned two things. The first is that life is incredibly magical, and the second is that he once again understood the phrase “when the temperature is low, the water will freeze”!

The same is true in this world. The laws of nature cannot be reversed. Although there is a magical substance such as magic energy in the poisonous insect body besides salt, the freezing point of water may be lower, but he believes that as long as the temperature is low to a certain level, the poisonous insect body The free water will also freeze.

The progress of the matter was as expected by Renault. Under the invasion of the cold, the body temperature of the poisonous insects began to drop sharply, the tissue fluid in the cells instantly condensed, various chemical reactions in the body also slowed down, and the reaction speed was greatly reduced.

As a result, its body was frozen stiff before the poisonous mist could be expelled, and it still kept its mouthparts open.

Seeing the poisonous insects fall into the trap, Renault gritted his teeth again, the remaining magical energy in his body rushed into the rune array frantically, and the chill deepened again.

With a muffled sound, the huge body of the poisonous insect fell heavily to the ground, and there was a slight vibration from the ground, and the position of the poisonous insect landing was very bad, because its mouthparts were facing Moos.

As soon as Moose saw this great opportunity, he immediately roared, a large amount of magic energy gathered on his right arm, his muscles instantly bulged up, and Gao Gao suddenly threw another epee in his hand.

At this time, he was no more than 5 meters away from the poisonous insect. The epee almost pierced the poisonous insect’s mouthparts at almost the instant when he was letting go. It plunged deep into its body, revealing only half of the hilt.

A large amount of light green juice flowed out of the mouthparts, and the juice solidified as soon as it came into contact with the cold air.

The poisonous insect was hit hard by this, and its body trembled violently, and it made a slight hissing sound. As the freezing deepened, its body became stiffer, and its tremor gradually reduced. The original emerald green body color gradually brought a hint of gray.

At this time, anyone can see that the poisonous insect is dead!

Most of its internal organs were destroyed by the epee, coupled with this deadly freezing, even the top potion could hardly save it.

The powerful poisonous insects became dying in an instant, and the crisis was instantly reversed!

A happy smile appeared on the three people’s faces.

Renault sighed in great relief. At this moment, the mana in his body was almost exhausted. If the poisonous insects delay for a while, he may not be enough to freeze it.

He slowly withdrew the heat shield, but always maintained the low temperature around the poisonous insects. He knew very well the reason that the centipede was dead but not stiff, so he would rather waste some mana and be careful.

Angela looked at Renault with admiration and asked, “How do you know that the poisonous insect is going to launch a surprise attack?”

Renault thought for a while and said, “It doesn’t hesitate to kill us at the risk of injury. I don’t feel right. In fact, animal behavior has a fixed pattern. I wonder if you have ever heard of animal behavior… …”

Angela and Moose looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other’s eyes. The same thought came up in their hearts: Is this the wisdom of the devil? But why does the devil like to study such things instead of studying how to torture humans?

What a strange devil!

The girl asked curiously: “What is animal behavior?”

Renault immediately explained it showy: “Most of the animal’s behavior is to ensure survival, but also to adapt to the environment and slowly evolve…”

“Therefore, behind all animal behaviors, there are extremely profound principles, such as why certain mosquitoes gather in groups, and why many birds have the habit of migrating…”

“The systematic study of the principles of these phenomena and the collected knowledge is called animal behavior…”

Listening to Renault’s talk, Angela was like pushing a new door open, suddenly discovering a whole new world.

She was originally an extremely studious girl. Before hearing Renault talk about nursing knowledge, she would practice privately on her own. At this time, hearing this unheard of knowledge made her heart full of great shock.
