Chapter 772: Small flying stick, great power

"This damn thing is so counterintuitive!"

Feng Xue was curling up like a worm, and finally began to adapt to this new body.

Based on Feng Xue's knowledge of biology, they should be considered a small chordate, with cartilage all over their bodies, and even without a heart and differentiated arteries and veins. They feel closer to some primitive deep-sea fish.

Due to problems with the blood and respiratory systems, their muscles are mainly composed of fast muscles (white muscles). They have strong instantaneous explosive power but poor endurance. They have eight pairs of small wings symmetrically distributed on their sides, like fish fins, which can rotate 360 ​​degrees and open and close 180 degrees. These flexible small wings can coordinate with the twisting and rotation of the body, and can instantly burst out at an astonishing speed of nearly 200km/h, catapulting their tiny bodies out in an instant, but then they can only rest for nearly ten minutes before they can have a second burst.

Ten minutes may not seem like a long time, but it is a basic movement behavior, just like a bird needs to rest for ten minutes after flapping its wings, or a person needs to rest for ten minutes after taking a step.

During these ten minutes, they must rely on their highly developed nervous system that is sensitive to vibrations and changes in airflow, and stay aloft along the alternation of cold and hot air currents until they have accumulated energy for the next flap of their "wings".

If you must say, this thing is not "flying" most of the time, but "drifting" in the air flow in a "kite-like" position.

In addition, the flying rod can absorb "temperature" through the skin and create temperature differences by controlling the temperature intake of different parts of the body, thereby controlling the direction of its drift.

Because of its special terrain and environmental climate, this valley is located in an area where cold and hot air currents alternate frequently all year round. In such a place, even if the wings are not flapped, the flying stick can still float in the air for a long time. Feng Xue believes that this is the reason why these creatures reproduce in clusters here.

Twisting his slender body, Feng Xue followed those big flying sticks into the sky. Because he had developed the [Wind Shape] structure that could transform into wind, he had some knowledge of aerodynamics, fluid mechanics, etc. After mastering the movements of his body, flying became unexpectedly simple. In just a few minutes, he even got rid of the sprinting behavior of bursting out for one second and resting for ten minutes, and learned how to control the burst of strength so that the body could maintain high speed for a longer period of time.

At first he thought he had learned it, but after flying out of the valley, he found that those big flying sticks seemed to be able to do it too?
In other words, they did not use this more "tiring" way of flying because of the constantly alternating air currents in the valley.

It's like when you're sitting on the subway, no one would keep walking unless they have to take two steps to change trains.

However, this situation also made Feng Xue overturn his previous thoughts——

These flying sticks can even be lazy, so they definitely can't be species with only primary instincts!

Either there is a swarm consciousness similar to the killer whale network but it does not include itself, or it is similar to the metamorphosis of insects, which requires several rounds of transformation before it can truly grow a "brain".

Although he really wanted to dissect a large flying stick on the spot, considering that this tribe seemed to be a social species, many inheritances might be lost if he acted rashly, so he had to suppress the impulse.

Not only that, considering the abnormal development and reconstruction of the nervous system of the flying stick, Feng Xue's original plan to start body transformation directly was completely ruined.

He could only follow this group of big flying sticks and began his career as a small flying stick. The small flying stick was only two centimeters long, while the largest of the big flying sticks Feng Xue saw was thirty centimeters long, but they looked similar in appearance, just a fleshy long stick with skin-like texture on the surface, plus eight wide and short fish-like wings.

But in fact, this so-called appearance is the information directly obtained by Feng Xue through the electronic eye constructed by the architecture technique and the vibration perception of the flying stick itself -

Because the flying sticks absorb heat and form a special temperature difference on the body surface, they will cause visual errors on the body surface similar to the distortion of air near a flame. Even with extremely strong dynamic vision, it is difficult to capture their traces.

In addition to the inefficient way of directly absorbing temperature, flying sticks will also actively prey on small prey such as insects, and occasionally even eat the tender leaves of plants.

Although Feng Xue, the creator, could easily satisfy the nutritional needs through imagination, he did not do so because he had lived a hard life. This was because no one knew whether the food eaten by the flying sticks contained the nutrients that were crucial to their transformation.

As time passed, the small flying sticks that flew out together were divided into different groups following different large flying sticks. After adapting to the body structure of the flying stick, Feng Xue also realized the superiority of this body.

Its hovering time exceeds that of the swift, its maximum burst is comparable to that of the frigatebird, its hovering ability is comparable to that of a dragonfly, and its flexibility is unmatched. Except for the muscle structure that affects its endurance and the only means of output except the cuticle on the head, it is simply the ceiling in the flying world. Various improvement plans are jumping out of Feng Xue's mind almost every moment.

Heart, blood circulation, muscle structure, nerve arrangement...

There are many miracles in the flying stick, but there are also so many areas that can be improved. It is like putting a perfectly movable body model and a bunch of custom assembly parts in front of you. It is difficult for any model maker to resist tinkering with it.

But the problem is, he really wants to know what a flying stick will look like when it develops normally.

Over this period of time, he has noticed many differences between him and those big flying sticks. That is not a problem that can be solved simply by getting bigger. For example, with his current body structure, it is no problem for him to burst out at a speed of 200km/h in one second, but to achieve the speed of 500km/h for "as long" as three seconds like the big flying stick, it is not something that can be achieved by simply increasing muscle mass.

More than two months passed, and Feng Xue finally felt the changes in her body.

He has a brain!
This is not a joke, but is actually happening. The sensory nerves that were originally very sensitive to vibration and temperature began to develop and proliferate, and formed ganglia in the body. Along with this process, he found that he could finally hear the big flying stick talking!
They seem to be saying—

"These kids finally have a 'brain knot'! Damn it! Raising children is too tiring. If I had known this, I would have been better off remaining single!"

"Then I'll tell the elders later that you won't be attending next year's training conference?"

"Drill!"
