Chapter 359 Making Wind
"Kangti, what's wrong with you?" Joan helped the drunk girl and asked eagerly, "What's wrong?"
"Uh, I'm fine... just dizzy, water, I want to drink some cold water to wake up."
Joan supported Kandy with her right hand, freed her left hand and hurriedly untied the "endless water bag", and fed her two sips of water.
Conti regained some energy, snatched the water bag from Joann's hand, and splashed the water on her face, making her head drenched, shivering twice, and finally regained consciousness.
Joan took out a handkerchief to help her wipe her face, and confirmed that the abnormal blush on her face had subsided, and her heart hanging in the air fell to the ground.
"Joan, do you smell a strong alcohol?"
"I didn't smell it, where is it?"
"It's strange to say that I can't smell the pungent smell of alcohol anymore, but I did smell it when I squatted down to check on Jamie just now. After inhaling that smell, I felt dizzy and dizzy. sleep, I guess that's how Jamie got knocked out."
While talking about what happened to him just now, Kanti tried to squat down to find the source of the mysterious aura.
Qiao An quickly grabbed her wrist, and warned in a deep voice: "Don't squat down anymore, the poisonous gas may be hovering around our feet!"
"Poison gas?" Conti was taken aback, covered his nose subconsciously, and asked him in a low voice, "You smelled it too?"
"I didn't smell it, but I can roughly guess why we can't smell the poisonous gas now, but Jamie can smell it. If you squat down, you will inhale the poisonous gas again." Joan's face was serious.
"I don't doubt your judgment, but why is that?" Kandy was puzzled, "If there are strange insects releasing poisonous gas nearby, it stands to reason that the poisonous gas should fill the entire space, and everyone in it should be able to smell it. Why is only Jamie unconscious?"
"You think so because you don't know enough about the composition of air. In fact, different gases usually have different densities. Some gases are lighter and some are heavier."
Joan recalled the chapter on gas in the "Intermediate Alchemy" textbook, and then explained to Kandy.
"In a relatively closed space, if we compare the air to seawater that fills the entire space, then the gas that is less dense than the air will float on the upper layer, just like a ship floating on the sea; the gas that is denser than the air, will sink to the bottom, just as a rock thrown into the sea will sink to the bottom of the sea."
"The poisonous gas that stuns Jamie is likely to be denser than the air, so it will be deposited near the surface. You and Gray are taller and inhale harmless air, while Jamie is short, plus He has a particularly keen sense of smell, and passed out after inhaling the poisonous gas floating in the grass."
"So that's the case, no wonder I just smelled the pungent smell after I squatted down just now." Conti suddenly realized.
"As the mayor's wife said before, in addition to the big stag beetle and the bombing beetle, there is a rarer and more dangerous poisonous gas beetle in the sawmill. The poisonous gas you and Jamie inhaled is presumably emitted by this strange insect. "
Joan looked at the tall log pile opposite, his eyes became particularly sharp.
"If I'm not mistaken, the gas beetle is hiding under that stack of logs."
"Then try to drive them out and destroy them!" Kandy held the keel boomerang tightly, "Anyway, the poisonous gas they emit will only float around our feet, there is nothing to worry about!"
"It's not that simple. The deposition of poisonous gas requires a slow process. Gas beetles are a variant of bombardment beetles. It is conceivable that they will also aim at the enemy and spray poisonous gas like their close relatives. If we don't take precautions, we haven't After the poisonous gas accumulates, you will be unconscious." Joan said cautiously.
Kandy quickly turned on "Inner Vision" to check his list of divine spells, and then told Joan with mixed joy and sorrow:
"Today, I have prepared a level 3 'neutralizing poison'. This magical spell can remove most poisons that are not immediately fatal, and can also provide temporary poison resistance to the recipient. Unfortunately... I just prepared it Such a 'neutralizing toxicity'."
Including Jamie who has been poisoned and unconscious, there are a total of four people here, but there is only one poison gas protection spell, who should use it?
Joan thought for a while, and said to Conti: "Save this magic spell to treat Jamie, I have a way to dispel the poisonous gas, but for safety's sake, you and Gray better stay away, and I will drive the poisonous gas beetle out later." , if there are too many, you just hit them with rocks and boomerangs to make sure the pests don't escape."
Conti didn't know how Joan planned to deal with the extremely dangerous poisonous gas beetle, but out of trust in him, he nodded obediently, told Gray to step back ten steps away, and looked at Joan's back nervously.
Joan took out two glass marbles from the storage bag, held them in his hand for a while, twisted a glass bead with his fingertips, chanted a mantra to bless it with a 0-ring trick "Phantom Sound", and then pushed it hard Throw to the wood pile.
The glass marble drew a dazzling arc, fell into the grass and bounced twice, and then let out a violent barking sound, which made the grass tremble.
The dog's bark simulated by the "Phantom Sound Technique" was lifelike, and soon alarmed the pests hidden in the log pile, they rushed out like a swarm, raised their buttocks in the direction of the dog's bark, and sprayed out one after another with the sound of chirping Milky mist.
The backs of these strange insects were covered with a smooth and hard red carapace, and their appearance looked like a variant of the bombing beetle, but they were smaller, only two feet long from head to tail.
Qiao An glanced at it, and visually estimated that there were no less than ten of them.
So many beetles sprayed poisonous gas together, and the milky white mist quickly gathered into a cloud, drifting towards Joan's direction with a strong smell of alcohol.
Not long ago, Qiao An took a bowl of medicinal porridge made from "Snake Dragon Girl Egg" at Liyanan's home not long ago. While improving two physical attributes, she also obtained a special constitution that resists toxins.
The mist sprayed by the gas beetle is actually a special alchemical compound similar to alcohol, which has a strong narcotic effect, but is not fatal.
This level of toxin would not be affected by Joan's inhalation, but he had to think about Candy and Gray behind him, and quickly made a spell-casting gesture before the cloud of poisonous gas dispersed.
"Súré!"
Joan chanted the elven mantra representing "wind", raised his left hand and waved forward, the magic net distributed around it vibrated violently, and the magic power caused the air to resonate, forming a howling gale and blowing towards the opposite side.
"Gale", also known as the "nine" gale.
The strong airflow instantly blew the grass opposite Joan to the ground, and some shrubs that were not deeply rooted were even uprooted by the strong wind, sending mud and sand flying all over the sky.
Swept by such a violent air current, the cloud of poisonous gas floating in the air was blown away in an instant, and the poisonous gas beetles gathered in the grass were also hit by the strong wind, rolling over in embarrassment.
