Chapter 851: Mythical Transfiguration (Ⅲ)

Joan actually liked the halfling mentality, but for health reasons, he forced himself to say goodbye to the "half funny" halfling form and restart "mythical transformation".
This time, Joan became the most familiar "Yortonheim Hawkman" form.
Looking at the eagle-headed figure in the mirror, the tall and dignified image, the mood suddenly became serious.
That's right, the eagle people who live in the bitter cold of the great glacier in Yodenheim, just the opposite of halflings, have a cautious and unsmiling national character.
Because he 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 display smiles in an intuitive way, so it becomes more serious, so that they are mistaken by outsiders as a "people without a smile".
Joan smiled hard in the mirror, but he was shocked!
In general, the Eagles of Jordenheim appear to be more kind when not smiling.
Joan put away a really terrifying smile, and used "endoscopy" to check his own attribute changes.
In Eagle form, his three physical attributes have changed.
Strength 12, Dexterity 13, Constitution 14.
Compared with the human form, the three attributes have been slightly improved, and it is also commensurate with the burly figure of the eagle who is up to seven feet.
Next, Joanne picked up a strand of snow-white hair and started "Mythical Transfiguration" again, changing from the eagle form to a taller and more powerful snow monster form.
Snow monsters live in an environment similar to that of eagles, mainly living in alpine areas with cold weather and snow all year round, such as the Fang Mountains.
This barbarian group with an average height close to 9 feet looks like a white-haired gorilla. In fact, its civilization and living habits are closer to those of the Stone Age, so it is also known as "Snowman".
After Joan turned, he naturally dropped his thick knee-length arms, bowed his waist, and shook his shoulders like a monkey to the mirror.
The reflection in the floor mirror is covered with thick white long hair.
This long hair has three benefits.
The first is of course to keep warm.
The second is to provide a natural armor for the snow monster, the defensive power is equivalent to chain armor.
The last advantage is that it is easy to sneak in the snow and 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 generally fear fire.
It is precisely because of the fear of the nature of flame that even though this race is a close relative of human beings, it has not been able to make full use of flame to improve its own living conditions, and thus it has not been able to develop a more advanced form of civilization. It has stayed in the primitive society of Ru Mao.
The face of the snow monster in the mirror is as dark as ink, which is in sharp contrast with the white long hair.
Joan recalled that when he was attacked by a snow monster in Fangshan Mountain, he vaguely remembered that the snow monster would always fall on its limbs when chasing its prey, and his face dropped to almost the ground.
At that time, he felt that this kind of running posture was awkward, his head was too low, and it was very inconvenient to see the road. Isn't it a risk of hitting an obstacle with one head?
Now that I have become a snow monster, think about it. If you run like a human with your chest upright, the dark face and the snow environment have a strong color difference. I am afraid that your tracks will be exposed before you approach the prey; otherwise, running down your head will be effective Hide this black eye that is too dazzling.
Joan couldn't help but have a question.
As far as the snow monster's habitat is concerned, dark skin is obviously not conducive to ethnic reproduction, and light skin is more conducive to survival.
In the long evolutionary process, why is the face of the snow monster not as white as snow like hair, but as black as this?
Such seemingly flawed physiological characteristics often have a reason behind their existence.
Joan jotted down this question in his notebook, and decided to take the time to study further when he was free.
In addition to the dark complexion, the most special organ on the face of the snow monster is the pair of eyes that flash a faint blue light.
Joan also noticed that in the mirror himself, the eyelid structure is very special.
Humans have only one layer of eyelids that can be opened and closed, while the snow monster has double eyelids.
The outer eyelid is similar to humans, and the opaque eyelid can cover the line of sight.
When the snow monster opens the outer eyelid, the inner eyelid will be exposed, the texture is like gelatin, crystal clear, and it is difficult to perceive if you do not look carefully.
This inner eyelid has two main functions.
One is to block the ice and snow debris from being blind, in a blizzard-ridden environment, and you can still see things normally.
The second is to act as a biological "switch" to activate the snow monster's supernatural ability "shiver ray".
Snow monsters in a safe environment always close their inner eyelids, and their eyes can pass through the transparent inner eyelids unhindered to observe the surrounding things.
When the snow monster finds its prey, it will quickly approach the other party until it is within 30 feet, then open the inner eyelid, and the "chill ray" is excited by the pupil.
If the prey and the snow monster look at each other, they will definitely be hit by the rays. While suffering frostbite, they may also be paralyzed by the extreme cold and unable to move.
The snow monster's field of vision is of course more than 30 feet, but the maximum range of "Shiver Gaze" is only so far.
A supernatural sight like "Shivering Gaze" must correspond to a "Magic Mark".
"Magic Mark" is similar to "spell configuration", and it also has magic energy level restrictions. It limits many indicators including range, and the ultimate goal is to rationally allocate limited magic energy levels.
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 the other indicators and use the saved magic energy level to enhance the spell range.
The "Magic Mark" is solidified in the living body, which is the way it was born, and it is difficult to perform acquired optimization.
Unless the gene is mutated, it can only be optimized in a specific direction through the improvement of the blood lineage of several generations, or "evolution" is more appropriate.
The snow monster's double-layered eyelid and transparent inner eyelid physiological structure helps to save energy for gaze attacks and avoid accidental injuries.
Joan had seen double eyelid features similar to the snow monster on the "Troll Monster". Considering that the Tug Monster also has the supernatural ability of the "gaze" type, he naturally generated a conjecture.
Do creatures with supernatural abilities like "gaze" in the world have similar evolutionary trends, and most of them have "double eyelids"?
To answer this question, the two samples of "Tuge" and "Snow Monster" are not enough.
Joan jotted down this conjecture. If he has the opportunity to contact the "gazing monsters" of other races in the future, he must remember to carefully observe the eyelid structure of the other party.
