Chapter 860 Freezing Breath

Joan recorded the results of the "Snow Vision" ability test in the experiment log, put down the quill pen, and naturally had a question.

Why is the sight of the snow monster able to penetrate the snow?

After a long time of thinking, Joan came up with a conjecture.

In his opinion, the reason why the snow monster's eyes can see through obstacles such as snow and sand piles is probably because these materials are loose and porous, and the magic sight of the snow monster can produce something similar to "diffraction" when encountering such materials. Optical effect, so as to achieve the see-through function.

In order to verify his guess, Joan conducted three more tests, increasing the density of obstacles, first replacing the shavings with coarse sand, then dense fine sand, and finally dense clay.

During these three tests, his clairvoyance gradually declined.

Coarse sand can barely penetrate, fine sand can hardly see clearly, and clay can completely block his "snow vision" ability.

According to these test data, Joan confirmed that the "snow vision" ability of the snow monster is limited by the material and density of obstacles.

For objects that are too dense, the line of sight cannot penetrate.

It can be seen that the magic power level of this supernatural ability is similar to that of the 2nd-level spell "Mist Sight", and far less than the 4th-level spell "Perspective".

Joan recorded all the experimental data and conclusions about "Snow Vision", then walked into the next room, and tested the snow monster's second supernatural ability "Shivering Gaze" against the puppet.

Joan stopped thirty feet in front of the doll.

Thirty feet is the limit distance for the snow monster's gaze attack.

He closed his eyes, searched for the innate memory activated by the "awakening agent" in his mind, and soon found the activation code of "shivering stare".

When Joan opened his eyes again, the transparent inner eyelids also opened, and the dark blue eyes shone slightly, and the distribution of the magic net in front of him was turbulent.

At the same time, the puppet on the opposite side seemed to have been hit by an invisible blow, its body trembled violently, and its eyes flickered, indicating that it had just been hurt.

Joan closed his inner eyelids, walked over and raised his hand to touch the puppet, and the detailed experimental data emerged in his mind.

The snow monster's staring attack can cause 3 energy levels of freezing damage to a designated target within 30 feet. In addition, it may also cause the opponent to fall into paralysis due to a sharp drop in temperature.

This test result is completely consistent with Joan's personal experience.

It should be noted that the Yeti's "Gaze" attack is different from "Ray" attacks such as "Scorching Ray".

"Ray" type spells or supernatural abilities, as long as they hit the target, no matter which part they hit, they will take effect.

The "gaze" attack is different, the magic power contained in it must be transmitted through sight.

In other words, the target must have eye contact with the Yeti before it can be hit.

If the opponent closes their eyes, turns their head and refuses to look at each other, or does not have optical vision organs such as eyes at all, then the "staring" attack will not be effective.

When he was first attacked by a snow monster in Fangshan Mountain, Qiao An was hit by the opponent's "Shivering Gaze" and was paralyzed by the cold. It took a minute or two for him to recover.

Later, when he encountered the snow monster again, he deliberately avoided making eye contact with the opponent, or prevented the snow monster from approaching within thirty feet of him, but he did not get hit again.

This characteristic is not unique to the "shivering gaze" of the snow monster.

Including the giant earth monster with the "confused gaze", most of the creatures in the world who are good at gaze attacks have the same weakness.

From this perspective, Joan easily thought of the trick to fight against various "gazing monsters".

Bless yourself with the 2-level prophecy spell "Tremor Perception", then close your eyes, feel the surrounding shock waves to identify the direction, replace visual observation, and perfectly avoid all staring attacks.

"Tremor Perception" and other similar "Blindsight" abilities are the best weapon to restrain "Gaze" attacks. With this trick, you don't have to be afraid of all kinds of staring "Gaze Monsters" in the future up.

When Qiao An tested the "throat lock monster" yesterday, he found that the effect of the "awakening potion" had a time limit and could not be maintained for a long time.

A similar situation arose during today's experiment.

When he fired "Shivering Gaze" at the test doll 10 times in a row, he suddenly found that he could no longer use this ability.

He activated the "Inner Vision" with a sense of unease, and as expected, "Shivering Gaze" had disappeared from his "Supernatural Ability Bar".

When transforming into a "throat lock monster", each injection of a "awakening potion" can only maintain the acceleration ability for 10 minutes.

From this, it is speculated that there is also a limit on the number of times that "Shivering Gaze" can be used in the form of a "snow monster"?

With doubts, Joan went back to the next room and gave himself another injection of "awakening potion".

A few seconds later, Joan activated "Inner Vision", and as expected, "Shivering Gaze" reappeared in the "Supernatural Ability" column.

The results of repeated tests confirmed his speculation.

After injecting a shot of "Awakening Potion", you can only fire up to 10 "Shivering Gaze", after which the "Magic Mark" will lose its vitality and need to be awakened again.

On the other hand, the ability of "Snow Vision" is not that troublesome. Once "awakened", it can last for a long time until the end of the transformation time.

After completing a series of experiments on "Snow Monster", Joann shifted his interest to "Mutated Snow Monster".

The space in the underground laboratory is wide enough that Joann can turn into a "mutated snow monster" without any scruples, and then inject himself with a "awakening potion".

Compared with ordinary snow monsters, mutant snow monsters are not only stronger in size, but also have stronger supernatural abilities.

In addition to "Snow Vision" and "Shivering Gaze", mutant snow monsters also have one more supernatural ability than ordinary snow monsters, which is "frozen breath".

The "snow vision" of the mutated snow monster is no different from the same ability of ordinary snow monsters.

"Shivering Gaze" is greatly enhanced, the range is increased from 30 feet to 60 feet, the frostbite caused is also doubled, and the energy level is increased to 6, and the special effect of "paralysis" is also added.

The mutant snow monster's unique "freezing spit" ability, in Qiao An's view, is very similar to the fifth-level spell "Ice Cone" in every respect, except that the cold current is erupted from the throat.

The damage radius of the "freezing breath" is the same as that of the "cone of cold", which is also a 60-foot cone spread.

As for the lethality, Joan just tested it with a puppet, and it has almost 10 energy levels, which is a typical cold magic damage.

"Ice Breath" also has a limit on the number of times it can be used.

With each shot of "Awakening Potion", Qiao An can use the "Snow Vision" ability at will in the mutant snow monster form, releasing up to 10 "Shivering Gaze" and 5 "Frozen Breath".
