Mage Joan

Chapter 851 Myth Transformation (Ⅲ)

Qiao An actually liked the mentality of the halfling, but for the sake of health, he still forced himself to say goodbye to the halfling form that was "just for fun" and restarted the "myth transformation technique".

This time, Joan turned into the form of the "Jortunheim Eagle" he was most familiar with.

Looking at the tall and majestic image of the eagle headed man in the mirror, his mood suddenly became serious.

That's right, the Ying people who lived in the bitter cold of the Jotunheim Glacier were the exact opposite of the halflings, with a cautious, serious and unsmiling national character.

Because it was too serious, Joan couldn't even smile normally in the eagle form.

In fact, this is mainly because the eagle's beak-shaped mouth does not support them to show their smiles in an intuitive way, so they appear more serious, so that outsiders mistakenly think that they are a "nation without smiles".

Qiao An tried to smile in front of the mirror, but in the end she was taken aback!

Generally speaking, the Jotunheim Hawkman is kinder when he is not smiling.

Joan put away his terrified smile, and used "inner vision" to check the changes in his own attributes.

In Hawkman form, all three of his physical attributes have changed.

Strength 12, Dexterity 13, Constitution 14.

Compared with the human form, the three attributes have all been slightly improved, which is commensurate with Yingman's burly figure as high as seven feet.

Next, Joan picked up a strand of snow-white hair and activated the "Myth Transformation Technique" again, transforming from the form of an eagle into a taller and stronger snow monster form.

The living environment of the Yeti is similar to that of the Eagles, and they mainly live in alpine areas with cold climates and snow all year round, such as the Tusk Mountains.

This savage group with an average height of nearly 9 feet looks like a white-haired gorilla, but its civilization and living habits are actually closer to humans in the Stone Age, so they are also called "snowmen".

After Joan's transformation, he naturally lowered a pair of thick arms that were as long as his knees, bowed his waist, and walked to the mirror with his shoulders shaking like an ape.

The reflection in the floor-to-ceiling mirror was covered with thick white hair.

This long hair has three advantages.

First of all, of course, keep warm.

The second is to provide a piece of natural armor for the snow monster, and its defense power is equivalent to that of a chain mail fir.

The last advantage is that it is convenient to sneak in the snow, and it is not easy to be found by prey or natural enemies.

However, these long hairs also have a disadvantage, that is, they are easily ignited, so snow monsters are generally afraid of fire.

It is precisely because of the nature of fear of flames that although this race is a close relative of human beings, it has not been able to make full use of flames to improve its living conditions, and thus has been unable to develop a more advanced form of civilization, and has always remained in a primitive society that drank blood.

The snow monster's face in the mirror was as black as ink, in stark contrast to the long white fur all over its body.

Joan recalled that when he was attacked by the snow monster in Fangshan Mountain, he vaguely remembered that the snow monster would always fall on all fours when stalking its prey, and its face was so low that it almost touched the ground.

At that time, he thought this kind of running posture was very awkward, his head was too low, it was very inconvenient to see the road, wouldn't it be a risk of bumping his head into an obstacle?

Now that I have become a snow monster, I put myself in the shoes of a human being. If I run with my head held high like a human being, the color difference between the dark face and the snow environment is strong, and I am afraid that I will reveal my whereabouts before I get close to the prey; otherwise, running with my head down will be effective. Hide this too glaring black face.

Joan couldn't help but have a question.

As far as the habitat of the snow monster is concerned, dark skin is obviously not conducive to the reproduction of the group, while light skin is more conducive to survival.

In the long course of evolution, why did the face of the snow monster not become as white as snow like the hair, but so black?

This seemingly flawed physiological feature often has a reason for its existence behind it.

Joan jotted down this question in his notebook, and decided to take time to study it further when he had time.

Apart from the pitch-black complexion, the most special part of the snow monster's face is the pair of eyes that shone with faint blue light.

Joan also noticed that his eyelids in the mirror had a special structure.

Humans have only one eyelid that can be opened and closed, while snow monsters have double eyelids.

The outer eyelids are similar to those of humans, with opaque lids that obscure vision.

When the snow monster opens the outer eyelid, it will expose the inner eyelid. The texture is like gelatin, crystal clear, and it is difficult to detect without looking carefully.

This inner eyelid has two main functions.

One is to prevent ice and snow debris from confusing the eyes, so that you can still see normally in a blizzard-ravaged environment.

The second is as a biological "switch" to activate the Yeti's supernatural ability "Shiver Ray".

A snow monster in a safe environment always closes the inner eyelids, and the sight can pass through the transparent inner eyelids unhindered to observe the surrounding things.

And when the snow monster finds its prey, it will quickly approach the opponent until it is within 30 feet, and then open the inner eyelids, and the pupils will stimulate the "shiver rays".

If the prey looks at the snow monster, it will definitely be hit by the rays. While suffering from frostbite, it may also be paralyzed by the extreme cold, making it impossible to move.

The field of vision of the Yeti, of course, is more than 30 feet, but the maximum range of "Shivering Gaze" is only so far.

A supernatural line of sight like "shivering stare" must correspond to a "magic mark".

The "magic mark" is similar to the "spell configuration", and it also has a limit on the level of magic power. It limits many indicators including the range, and the ultimate goal is to reasonably allocate the limited magic power level.

The difference is that the "spell configuration" is completely independent of the caster and can be easily adjusted.

If you feel that the 30-foot range is too short, you can lower other metrics and use the saved mana levels to increase the spell's range.

The "magic imprint" is solidified in the living body, and it is born like this, and it is difficult to optimize it the day after tomorrow.

Unless the gene is mutated, it can only be optimized in a specific direction through several generations of bloodline improvement, or "evolution" is more appropriate.

The snow monster's physiological structure of double-layered eyelids and transparent inner eyelids helps save the energy of staring attacks and avoids accidental injuries.

Joan had seen double-layered eyelid features similar to the yeti in the "earth monster". Considering that the earth monster also has the supernatural ability of "gazing", he naturally had a guess.

Do creatures with the supernatural ability of "gazing" have a similar evolutionary trend, most of them have "double eyelids"?

To answer this question, it is far from enough to rely on the two samples of "earth giant" and "snow monster".

Joan recorded this conjecture casually. If there is a chance to meet "gazing monsters" of other races in the future, he must remember to observe the eyelid structure of the other party carefully.
