Chapter 1194 Lure the Enemy Out of the Cave (Ⅱ)

Audrey smiled nonchalantly, and taught Holden a lesson like an elder sister.

"I'm not mocking your poor performance, I just considered this possibility out of rigor. As a boy, you should be broad-minded and accept criticism from others with an open mind. Why be so excited."

Holden was so angry that he was speechless, and turned his head to ignore her.

Joan had always disapproved of Audrey's "paternalism" towards her younger brother, and patted Holden on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.

"The intelligence level of the petrified lizard is relatively low among magical beasts. Fortunately, it is at least smarter than the scavengers. Of course, I can appreciate your performance."

"As for the hearing of basilisks, although they are not as sharp as those of scavengers, they are also creatures of the underground world after all, so it should not be too bad."

After hearing what Joan said, Holden smiled again, and with a flick of his finger, the flute whirled like a windmill at his fingertips.

"It's getting late, let's get rid of those nasty big lizards quickly, so we can go to bed early!"

Klein nodded, stood up, and announced to everyone around the campfire: "Everyone, get ready, and gather at the navel entrance in ten minutes!"

Audrey took out the armor, shield and saber from the storage bag, put them on quickly, and at the same time reminded Joan: "When Holden plays the flute, remember to set up a 'shelter cabin' beside him. , if the number of petrified lizards attracted is too large, we can't resist it, so we will withdraw to the hut."

"Can the refuge hut block the sight of the petrified lizard?" Hyrule interjected.

"The force field shield of the refuge hut is one-way transparent. We can see the outside situation from inside the house, but the sight of outside creatures cannot see us through the shield. It should be able to block the petrified gaze."

Out of caution, Joan reminded his companion: "This is just my conjecture, and we can't come to a conclusion until the empirical test is carried out. In short, no matter whether you are inside or outside the house, it is best not to open your eyes and look at the petrified lizard. "

"Joan, can we take this potion now?" Holden also walked over, holding the bottle of "Tremor Sensation" potion that Joan gave him in his left hand.

"If taking the medicine won't interrupt your concentrated performance, it's best to wait until the petrified lizard is about to come out before taking the medicine. Don't worry, everyone, I have set up an eagle-eye observation point near the exit of the navel. When the petrified lizard is about to come out, I will I will remind you to take the medicine in advance," Joan said.

"Joan! I suddenly thought of a question!" Holden suddenly thought, "When you switch the viewing angle to the eagle eye observation point, will you turn into a stone statue if you look at the petrified lizard?"

"Uh, that's a good question..." Joan scratched his head, "Frankly, I don't know."

"The petrifying gaze of our Medusa family has a magical effect radius of only 30 feet. Outside this range, even if there is eye contact with a person, the magic power cannot be transmitted to the opponent's body, and of course it will not cause petrification."

Medea walked up to Joan, stroked her chin with her fingertips, and said in thought: "As far as I know, the staring attack radius of basilisks will not exceed 30 feet. When observing indirectly, even if there is line of sight contact, it stands to reason that the magic power cannot be transmitted to Joan's body using the eagle eye observation point as a springboard."

"That's what I said, but I remember that Joan used the 'Eagle Eye Technique' to observe the giant earth monster when he was adventuring in the troglodyte lair in the Nida Mountains. The moment he made eye contact with the monster, Joan was indeed affected The effect of the 'Confused Gaze'! Is it like this?" Holden asked with his arms around the young mage's shoulder.

Joan nodded, with a serious expression on his face.

"Because of this precedent, I'm not sure whether supernatural gaze can be transmitted indirectly..."

"Maybe the earth giant is just a special case?" Audrey frowned slightly, "There is such a mythical story, I don't know if you have heard of it, a hero in ancient times tried to kill the evil Gorgon, and for this he specially Made a polished and smooth shield like a mirror, used the mirror reflection of the shield to observe the position of the Gorgon, avoided direct contact with her line of sight, and finally succeeded in killing the banshee... If this story is true, then It proves that staring attacks cannot be transmitted indirectly through mirror reflection or eagle eye observation points!"

"I have heard of this story, and to verify whether the story is true, I have personally conducted an experiment." Medea smiled strangely.

"Ah?! Then tell me quickly, what is the result of the experiment!" Hailar asked eagerly.

"I have done a total of 20 sets of experiments and strictly controlled the variables. The final conclusion is...the mythical 'mirror reflection method' is not reliable, but it cannot be said that it is completely useless." Medea patiently asked the group of "curious" Baby" explained, "From the experimental results, when you use mirror reflection to observe the Gorgon, there is about a 50% probability that it will not be petrified. The hero in the myth... I can only Said he was lucky."

"Medea, your mirror experiment just overturned the conclusion you just made. The core of the spell configuration of the 'Eagle Eye' is the law of light reflection and refraction. Using the 'Eagle Eye' to observe petrified lizards is the same as using a mirror to observe snake hair. Banshee, in essence, is the same thing."

"Since the mirror reflection still has a 50% chance of being petrified, it proves that the supernatural gaze attack can indeed be transmitted indirectly, but every time it is reflected or refracted, the probability of causing confusion, petrification or similar negative effects will be halved." Qiao An guessed.

"Does the probability of staring take effect decrease geometrically with the number of reflections and refractions? This is so interesting! Joan, I really want to design a set of experiments right away to test whether your conjecture is true!"

Medea's eyes were shining, she clenched her fists tightly, and couldn't help jumping a little excitedly.

"You two freaks, give me enough time! I don't have time to talk about these irrelevant things now!" Hailaer couldn't bear it anymore, and interrupted the conversation between the two scientific madmen, "Let's get back to the topic, since indirect observation is risky, Joan, Do you still want to use 'Eagle Eye'?"

Joan thought about it, and said slowly: "I set up the eagle eye observation point at a high place, the petrified lizard's eyes grow on the sides of the head, reptiles can't walk upright, the bone and muscle structure of the neck determines Because they look up at a very small angle of inclination..."

"A simple calculation shows that it is almost impossible for a petrified lizard to see the observation point above its head, not to mention that the observation point is invisible, and the risk is so small that it is almost negligible."
