Volume 18, Chapter 154 The Beginning of Collapse
Chapter 154 The beginning of collapse
With a super resurrection mage like Rose, in fact, in theory, we don't have to worry about being killed at all, because as long as we don't encounter a small probability event, Rose's resurrection spell will generally produce a lossless resurrection.
Looking at the half body of Kristina who had fallen away, Rose did not pursue her. Resurrection requires the soul, not the body, and except for resurrection mages and professionals related to the undead system, most people cannot see the soul left behind after the player dies. Rose simply scanned around and found Kristina's soul below us. After releasing the guardian spear and jumping up, she went directly to help Kristina resurrect.
I don't have time to care about whether Kristina's resurrection is successful or not, because the monster that just killed Kristina has now completely risen into the air.
This monster is slightly different from the little monsters that chased us before. The little monsters before looked like centipedes with an extra pair of wings, but the creature in front of him looked exactly like a big centipede. There was nothing like wings on its body. However, although I didn't see any wings, this thing was not only able to fly, but it was also super fast. Looking at the way it twists its body and moves rapidly in the air, it looks like a water snake hunting in the water.
After killing Kristina with one blow, the monster quickly rose into the air, and then an arc of electricity was seen lighting up between its horns again. With Kristina's experience, we can finally understand this time. This thing's attack is super powerful. If you can dodge it, it's best not to block it. However, although we all know that we should not directly accept its attacks, we still know what we should block, but we still have to block it. After all, that guy uses lightning skills! That's lightning! No matter how fast the spear under our feet is and can fly several times the speed of sound, can we still go faster than the speed of light? So unless this guy's attack misses by itself, we won't be able to dodge any of it.
Just when the arc on the guy's head jumped to its strongest state, an arc suddenly flew out without warning. Because we knew in advance that this guy's attack was very sharp, and we didn't have time to predict its attack direction, we had to support the defense with all our staff. Whoever got hit would be considered unlucky.
Facts have proved that my luck always likes to go to extremes. I am either extremely lucky or extremely unlucky. Of course, today is obviously the milder kind. The moment the guy released the lightning, I held the dragon shield in front of me, but then I felt a sudden pain in my hand, and at the same time, my whole body was thrown away by a huge force, including the shield. All were thrown out. It took about a second or two before I stabilized my figure in the air. The falling dragon shield in the distance was still emitting green smoke. Obviously, the power of the attack just now had almost reached the upper limit of the shield's defense.
The monster had killed Kristina instantly with one move before, but I didn't expect that I was able to catch a lightning bolt from it and it was fine. Although it was puzzled and curious about how I survived, it obviously didn't have much desire for knowledge with its intelligence, so this guy chose a more direct response method-it added another lightning strike to me.
It was already very difficult to catch the lightning with the dragon shield just now, but suddenly there was another one and I had no time to react. Although my reaction speed is the fastest among all players, no matter how fast I am, I can't play dodgeball with Lightning!
Just when I thought I was going to catch the lightning with my body, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of me, followed by a deafening explosion in front of me. At the same time, I also felt that I was surrounded by a large dense area of small The object was knocked away.
"Get closer, don't let it magnify its moves any more." I suddenly heard Rose's shout while being knocked away by those little things. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the fragments flying around me were all metal fragments, but Judging from some relatively large fragments, these should be gold coin flying swords. Apparently Jin Coin had just used some of the flying swords in her sword formation to help me block the lightning. She was the only one present who had the ability to protect herself and take care of others at the same time. However, the price paid for this rescue of gold coins was not small. At least the swords protecting me were completely destroyed. Although I don’t know how many swords she received in total, judging from the number of these fragments, there must be more than two hundred. However, now is not the time to feel sorry for those swords.
Just after Rose shouted, we all understood the characteristics of that thing. Its long-range attack is very powerful and can kill almost any player except me in one hit. Although we are not sure yet about the melee power of this thing, at least it shouldn't be as abnormal as its long-range attack, right?
Knowing that we couldn't get too far away from that thing, we quickly rushed towards the monster. However, the monster probably knew where its own weakness was, so it didn't give us a chance to get close. It jumped back and distanced itself from us. , and then the electric light began to flash on its head again.
"Damn, is this thing too cunning?" I couldn't help but complain when I saw the thing retreating, but before I could finish complaining, the lightning on the guy's head lit up again. The Divine Dragon Shield had been blown away before. Although I still had a Divine Dragon Shield, it was too late to take it off temporarily, so I could only protect my hands in front of me and use the arm guards on my wrists to catch a lightning bolt.
There was a loud bang, and I felt a sharp numbness all over my body. My health dropped a lot, but it basically didn't put too much burden on my body.
"Boss is worthy of being a boss, he actually managed it!" Zhenhong looked at me and praised me.
"You have time to praise me, why not knock that thing down for me." I looked at Zhen Hong and said angrily. Although the lightning strike just now failed to kill me, if it continues like this, it will only be a matter of time before I am killed. With the attack power of that thing, I might be dead if I get hit three or four more times.
Zhenhong was just joking with me just now, so while I was talking she had already rushed forward, and shouted to the gold coin by the way: "Use your sword array to cut off its retreat and block it for me. .”
"Understood." Jin Coin squatted down and patted the body of the spear at his feet. The spear immediately tilted its body and began to climb high into the sky. It soon reached the top of the monster's head. Then Jin Coin waved with one hand, and the spear she just took back The sword formation spread out with a roar, and instantly covered a large area of sky above the monster's head under the sword formation.
Seeing that the gold coin successfully occupied the commanding heights, Zhenhong immediately shouted: "Press it down."
Jin Coin did not answer Zhenhong's words, but directly turned his palms to make a fist. The sword formation that was originally scattered in the sky immediately retracted to the middle, and instantly nailed the monster's back like grass. Those flying swords were too small compared to the monster's body, and the moment they hit the monster, the blades of the flying swords were all inserted into the monster's body, with only the hilt exposed, so it looked like It was as if a layer of fine hair had grown on the monster's body. However, although the length of the sword may not have much lethality compared to the size of the monster, the flying swords of gold coins are magic weapons after all, and their attack power is not calculated purely based on physical damage. After the monster was nailed all over the body by the sword array, it immediately let out a shocking scream. At the same time, its body instinctively began to fly downward, hoping to avoid the pain on its back. However, just as it was flying down, Zhen Hong rushed up to meet it.
Zhenhong rushed under the monster, a circle of golden light flashed all over her body, and finally it all gathered on her fist, and then she saw Zhenhong punching out fiercely from bottom to top. "The fourth ultimate secret of Dawei Tianlong Fist - Shenglong." As Zhenhong's skills were activated, we only saw Zhenhong's whole body transforming into a huge dragon with golden light all over, and then he faced the falling monster directly. He rushed up, then hit the lower end of the monster's head, and then flew high into the sky with the monster on his head.
"Oh my God! Is Zhenhong going to send that monster into space?"
I looked at Zhen Hong who was gradually going away and suddenly heard such a sigh coming from beside me. When I turned around, I realized that it was Kristina.
"Are you okay?"
"Of course, don't you want to see who did it?" Rose showed off proudly, and then without waiting for my reply, she looked up at the golden dragon that was gradually moving away from our sight and said, "Do you know the specific effect of Zhenhong's move? ? She wouldn’t really send that thing all the way to space like this, would she?”
"That's not enough." I shook my head and said, "I only know a little bit about this skill of Zhenhong. It seems that it should have a fixed damage output, and then it will send the enemy to a very high altitude, and then there should be a follow-up Move. Her fourth form of the ultimate secret of the Great Powerful Tianlong Fist seems to be an overused linking 'sexual' move, and it seems that the subsequent fight should be at a super high altitude."
"Why do you have to fly so high?" Kristina asked, looking up at the golden dragon whose shadow was almost invisible.
I also shook my head and said: "I don't know the specific situation. Anyway, Zhenhong seems to say that she has an advantage at super high altitude. As for what the advantage is, I don't know."
As Zhenhong took the monster away by himself, we became idle. Of course, we are not idle now. Although we can't help Zhenhong because the spear can't fly at ultra-high altitudes with thin oxygen, we can't be idle now. At least we have to find the missing Matsumoto Masa first. However, after looking around for a long time, we finally had no choice but to rely on the communication channel to contact Masamoto Matsumoto, because he couldn't be seen within sight.
"Hey, Matsumoto Masaru, where have you gone again?"
"I'm underground." Masamoto Matsumoto's answer was not only super fast, but also a little breathy. It sounded like his current situation was not very good.
"What is that noise? Did you encounter a monster?"
"They're monsters, and there are a lot of them. You won't believe it, I'm fighting a bunch of rats!"
"mouse?"
"It looks like a field mouse, but is close to an adult buffalo. Its limbs are longer than ordinary mice. It is good at jumping and attacks very fast. The most annoying thing is that these guys are actually earth creatures, and their defensive spells are no better than Kristi's. Miss Na, what a difference!"
"Then do you know exactly where you are now? Let's find a way to meet first, and then we pretend to be looking for you and stumble into a group of monsters to help you share some of it?"
"I don't know where I am!" Masamoto Matsumoto seemed to think of something again after he finished speaking, so he quickly added: "But I can be sure that I am not far from you."
"Why are you not far away from us? Are we in heaven?"
"Heaven?" Masamoto Matsumoto was obviously stunned for a moment. "Didn't you fall into the cracks like me?"
"We did fall in three minutes ago, but as soon as we stopped, we were driven out by a group of flying centipedes. A minute ago, we encountered a big guy, more than two hundred meters long, who specializes in hiding. Yuan used lightning attacks, Kristina was instantly killed as soon as she came up."
"Kristina was killed? What kind of attack power is this? I..." At this point, Masamoto Matsumoto suddenly stopped, and then shouted excitedly: "Haha, I found the exit, wait for me."
Following Masamoto Matsumoto's words, we suddenly noticed a white light flashing through a crack not far from our feet. Because we were prepared in advance, we almost all saw the light.
"over there."
"Go and help."
At my call, everyone swooped down with spears, but just when we rushed near the big crack, a terrifying shock wave suddenly came from the ground, and in an instant, all of us were swept away from the ground. It was blown out of the crack, and even Masamoto Matsumoto, who had just ran out of the rock wall, and a large group of giant rats were also blown out.
Originally, given our situation, being blown into the air was no big deal. It's like if you throw a healthy bird out of an airplane, it's certainly nothing to it. It can fly anyway, it just needs to do a few somersaults to master its balance. However, just when we desperately controlled our balance and commanded the spear under our feet to start, an accident happened.
I am currently in the divine realm, so I am flying by myself, but because my wings have lost their function, like everyone else, I am actually relying on the jet engine to provide power for flight. It's just that Rose and the others stood on the spear and let it fly with them, while I inherited the jet engine of the flying bird and flew by myself. However, just when we regained balance and were ready to fly, something went wrong for everyone at the same time. I made a strong effort to prepare to fly forward, but I didn't feel any push from my back. At the same time, I also saw two sparks ejected from the nozzle of the spear at Rose's feet in front of me, and then Another large cloud of light green smoke appeared, and then Rose fell down together with her spear.
In fact, it wasn't just the roses that fell. To be precise, everyone on the scene was falling, including Matsumoto Masaga and the rats.
It goes without saying that mice can't fly. Masamoto Matsumoto was originally able to fly, but now he seems to be obsessed for some reason. The people on our side originally discovered that the gun's spray gun could fly, but now all of them suddenly failed. Because I am different from Rose and others. I am flying using the jet combustion chamber myself, so I can intuitively feel that there is no problem with the jet combustion chamber itself, but it did not ignite when I ignited it just now. . Although I can't see the situation behind me, judging from the green smoke emitted by Rose's spear, the situation behind me should be the same.
We have done special experiments before when we studied the flying principle of the spear. When the spear is flying, it actually sprays a liquid fuel into the combustion chamber on the wings, causing it to explode in the combustion chamber after combining with the oxygen in the air, and then the high-pressure airflow generated by the explosion is discharged from behind the combustion chamber. It is ejected from the head, thereby generating ecstasy. This process is actually very simple, but there are two points worth noting. First, the fuel injected into the combustion chamber is a dark green viscous liquid, and it will be atomized when it is injected into the combustion chamber. This is a bit like a car engine. The fuel injector inside. But just now I clearly saw the green atomized fuel sprayed from behind Rose's spear, which means that the thing was sprayed out without exploding at all. The second point that needs to be noted, and the most critical point, is that this atomized liquid fuel is actually very easy to ignite. Just a small spark can detonate it in an instant. However, just now I clearly saw Rose's spear ejecting a cloud of sparks from the combustion chamber, but the fuel came out together with the sparks. What does this mean? This shows that the flammable and explosive atomized fuel did not burn when it was ignited.
What circumstances might cause an otherwise explosive atomized fuel to not explode in the presence of fire? Two possibilities. 1. The warmth is too low to meet the basic temperature requirements of chemical reactions. Second, there is a lack of reaction raw materials.
The temperature around us is not low at all now. On the contrary, it is quite hot. After all, lava sprayed everywhere after the ground cracked. It would be strange if it is not hot. In other words, the first possibility does not exist. As for the lack of raw materials for the reaction... The reaction raw materials required for this kind of liquid combustion and explosion are itself and oxygen. If there are no reaction raw materials, there is only one possibility.
"Damn, the atmosphere collapsed this week!" Rose's voice suddenly rang in our communication channel, and this was exactly what I had just guessed. The previous shock wave should be a sign of the collapse of the atmosphere, which means that we should be in a state of very low air density now. After all, the collapse of the atmosphere will not eject all the gases instantly, but will cause them to spread little by little. This process will take time, but it will not be long. But that's not what we need to worry about now. What we need to worry about now is how to prevent ourselves from falling to death without paying attention.
The thin atmosphere means that except for jet power, all other flight capabilities will be unavailable. This includes magic. Although magical flight does not require the use of air to create buoyancy, all flight spells are basically of the wind system, and another name for the wind system is the air system. Air system, air system, then there must be air to have air magic! Now that the air is gone, why talk about air magic? As for flapping the wings to fly, this also requires air. After all, wings rely on the wind to fly. Without air, you can't expect to fly no matter how much you flap your wings. As for the jet power, this could have been used. After all, human spacecraft also use jets to fly in space, but their rockets and space shuttles all have their own oxidants. But we don’t have it! It's true that the long gun uses spray power, but we don't have an oxygen bottle. How do you make the long gun's combustion chamber ignite?
