Volume 19, Chapter 94 The Disappeared Search Team
The demon Jiaha stayed in the Spirit Gathering Tower for more than half an hour before I dragged him out of here. Otherwise, with his temperament, it would have taken him ten and a half months to think of leaving. matter.
After dragging the devil Jiaha away, we went to Laigang City again. Just like the previous time, this guy went crazy with joy when he saw the steel all over the world. He jumped into the steel jungle and absorbed it for half an hour. He had no intention of coming out, so of course he was dragged out by me in the end.
Speaking of which, I had never discovered it before. The ability of this demon puppet Jiaha seems to be more than just fusing metals and shaping metals. He seems to be able to use some unknown method to change the volume of metals. The guy absorbed it in the steel jungle for more than half an hour. The metal he chewed off was more than 20,000 cubic meters, but in the end he actually turned himself into the size of the original human Jiaha, which was one cubic meter. less than the volume. Even if the body of this humanoid Jiaha is completely solid, the volume is different by at least 20,000 times. It is unknown how he changed the volume lost. And judging from the way he walked, it seemed that the absorbed metal had not only lost its size, but also its weight. Otherwise, even if he really compressed 20,000 cubic meters of steel into less than one cubic meter, then based on the area of his feet, it is estimated that every step would leave a half-foot-deep footprint on the steel ground. As for other surfaces, just think about it. Don't even think about it. The rocky ground is probably the same as a swamp to him.
"Okay, now we can go see Noreen." The demon Jiaha walked up to me in the form of human Jiaha and said.
I circled around him twice, then walked over and knocked on his body, and then asked in surprise: "How did you get this body? Where were the more than 20,000 cubic meters of steel just now? And I pressed you Where have you gone with the more than 20 rare metals prepared for you by the request? And how come your body’s flexibility is the same as that of a real person? Can’t you only change into metal?”
Hearing so many questions thrown at me at once, the demon Jiaha not only didn't have a headache, but actually said very proudly: "Hey, this is my special skill. How do you like it? Isn't it very powerful?"
"It's awesome, but how on earth did you do it?"
"Actually, this thing seems magical. Once you put it to the truth, there is nothing surprising about it."
"ah?"
"You know about space equipment, right?"
"Damn it, you wouldn't have formed a space device on yourself and stuffed all that steel into it, would you?"
"Absolutely. But it's not that I use steel to form space equipment, but my soul carrier has its own soul space. It can carry metal according to the strength of its own soul energy. The more soul energy I have, the larger this space will be. , theoretically speaking, as long as there is enough energy, this space can be expanded infinitely. Of course, this is just a theory. In fact, if there is enough energy, it will eventually be limited by the upper limit of my soul carrier, otherwise the space is too big for the carrier It will collapse. But based on what I know so far, the safe range is below one million cubic meters. The 20,000 cubic meters of metal is only one-fiftieth of it, and it is still early to be full."
"The issue of metal volume is indeed simple, but what's the matter with the material of your body? Why does it 'touch' like muscle tissue? Aren't you made of metal?"
Hearing my question, Jiaha the Demon Puppet did not answer immediately, but asked instead: "Have you ever 'touched' Noreen's skin?"
"Ah?" I was stunned for a moment, and then I suddenly asked, "Is this the special material used to form artificial skin like Noreen's?"
"Special materials are indeed special materials, but their essence is still metal."
"Is this thing that 'touches' like flesh metal?"
Mogu Jiaha looked at me with a strange expression that you rarely see and said: "Don't think that metal is a cold and hard thing. The elasticity of high-quality spring steel is better than that of many people's muscle tissue. If it weren't for the high hardness," It will feel like this when you touch it. But the characteristics of my metal muscle are even more magical, because it has two forms. The first one is what it is now." As he spoke, he used his hand on his arm. Pressing it, the skin on the arm immediately made a pit. "See? It's super soft, just like a real person. But if I activate the magic converter and direct the magic energy into this layer of metal muscles, then it will be like this." He said and suddenly took out a metal part and pointed it at his arm He knocked again, but this time there was no dent like last time. Instead, the piece collided with his arm, making a metallic clang sound.
"Metal with variable hardness?" I reached out and touched the guy's arm in surprise. It was as hard as steel, and it no longer felt soft like before.
"It should be called magic metal, rather than simply having variable hardness. The technical content is much different."
I nodded slightly in surprise and said, "That's right. By the way, is this a technology that was invented after the original Jiaha transferred his soul to you? How come Jiaha doesn't know about it at all?"
"Yes, this is a technology that was developed after the original Jiaha transferred his memory to the current Jiaha. However, the current Jiaha is not completely ignorant of this, it's just that he doesn't know the details."
I nodded and did not continue to ask. After all, the two Jiaha are now members of our guild. The technology they know is naturally the technology of our guild. Although it may take some time to convert it into weapons and put them into use, it is still possible to enter. It's on the schedule, isn't it?
After solving the physical problem of the demon Jiaha, we returned to the New World Floating Island. Although Norin is a Taiwanese puppet, her usual behavior is completely the same as that of a human being, and her technical attainments in magic puppets do not seem to be much lower than Jiaha's, so she is now also a technician in our guild. Of course, she will occasionally appear as a combatant. After all, her terrifying power and invulnerability can definitely give most people a headache to death.
"Noreen." I pushed open the door of the research room and shouted directly into the room.
"What's the matter?" Nolin, who was lying on the edge of the table carving a formation diagram, turned her head back when she heard the words, but she froze when she saw the figure next to me. With a clanging sound, the marking pen originally held in her hand fell directly onto the table. "Dad...Dad? You..."
"I'm back." Jiaha, the demon doll, stretched out her arms and walked toward Nolin with excitement.
Seeing the other party actually walking over, Nolin was obviously nervous, but she finally took the initiative to walk to the demon Jiaha and hugged him. At the same time, she asked: "Dad, haven't you already lost your love?" Has your body recovered? Why did it suddenly recover again?"
Next, with my help, Jiaha, the demon doll, explained everything to Nolin. Of course, Jiaha, the big head, was also invited to join in the explanation. It took Noreen more than an hour to fully understand the complicated relationship between several people.
"What you mean is that the current demon Jiaha is the father in my memory, but the Jiaha father here also participated in my production, and there is a real Jiaha who designed my basic structure, but I’ve never met him, have I?”
I nodded and said: "Yes, this relationship is indeed a bit complicated, but it can still be clarified. By the way, you know that you won't be sad because of this, right?"
When Norin heard this, she immediately shook her head and asked, "Why should I be sad? Not only did I meet my real dad, but I also got an extra dad. I didn't lose anything, so why should I be sad? As for the dad who has disappeared , although I really want to see him, but since we have never met, there is no way to say whether he is sad or not."
"It's best if you think so."
Since Noreen said she didn't care, we were naturally very happy. Of course, what is different from the joy of the reunion of their three families is that I am happy about the leap in golem technology that I am about to get.
Imagine the golems made by our guild before and the mobile angels produced after Jiaha joined. They can hardly be regarded as the same type of thing. Now, although there may not be a technological leap like last time after another Jiaha joins, at least the skills of the demon Jiaha can definitely be added to the demons in our guild, and once this happens Once a generation of golems are put into practical use, I believe we will have the capital to challenge any country in the world.
Leaving Jiaha and the three of them to experience the feeling of family reunion, I left the floating island first. Before leaving, I didn't forget to ask Jiaha's two disciples to come with them for a reunion.
After returning to Essinger, I didn't run around. Instead, I went to the God of War first. I wanted to know the current operating status of the guild. It would be better to ask the God of War directly than anyone else.
As soon as they entered the command center of the Army God, the Army God threw a crystal over without even looking at it. I caught the crystal and plugged it into the reader next to me while asking, "What did you give me?"
"The latest battle situation in the Chaos City system." After the God of War finished speaking, he looked up at me and asked, "Isn't that why you came here to understand this?"
I nodded and looked at the opened screen. Since all the images recorded here are dynamic images, you can see the development of the entire battle situation more intuitively.
The system city where the exit of the entire underground river system is located has now been completely occupied, but the destruction in the city has not stopped. According to my vision, an underground ship production base and research institute will be built here in the future, so this city blocked at the mouth of the river will become a natural bridgehead. Of course, as a bridgehead, it is impossible to use the structure of a general city. It must be built into a fortress city. And this city was a commercial city before. We really don’t know how to transform such an urban structure, so we just It can tear down the entire city and rebuild it, so although the battle is over, the city demolition plan is still in progress.
Passing through the city at the mouth of the river, the first city in is the city of chaos. This area is now basically under the control of our guild, and there is only sporadic resistance in a few areas. It can be said that it has entered the finishing stage.
Further down through the city is a system, but according to intelligence, there are also industries of the several guilds that host dark transactions, so there is sporadic resistance here, but the intensity is not as good as the chaos before. That's it. It is estimated that according to this progress, the occupation here may be completed before the city of chaos.
Beyond this city and further forward is the last city on the underground river mentioned in the intelligence. The area of this city is not large, and its level is also very low. In addition, there are no people from the guild to make trouble, so it has been occupied by our guild's troops.
Going upstream in this last city is basically a dead end. Although the river water upstream shows that there is water under the water, because the top of the cave upstream is directly in contact with the water, unless you send someone to dive there, or use diving to Boat, otherwise the upper part will be basically impossible to pass.
I had just finished browsing the information and was about to say that I don't need to intervene. Unexpectedly, the God of War swiped on the screen in front of him and threw a set of data directly onto my screen. I just took a look and was stunned.
"Holy crap, what's going on? Seven players and eight NPCs were killed after conquering four cities. Why did the exploration and river lose three players, five NPCs, and two water mobile Angels?"
That's right, what the Military God just threw over was a casualty report. In the three cities in the entire underground Hanoi plus the exit city outside, a total of more than a dozen people have died, including players and NPCs. As a result, after arriving at the city at the front of the underground river, the frontline commander of our guild sent people to I explored the upper reaches of the river, but the exploration ended up costing the entire team and took along two water-type mobile angels. It doesn't matter if the player dies, and the resurrected player only loses one level, and he is back in practice within a few days. But the lost NPCs and mobile angels are all money!
"What's the matter?"
The God of War did not answer me, but opened another screen. This scene was obviously taken underwater. It should be the scene recorded by the battlefield recording crystal on the underwater mobile angel. The mobile angel in the picture was swimming well in the water. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed from the side, and then the picture was interrupted. Military God said immediately after the screen was interrupted: "This is the last picture sent back before the two mobile Angels were destroyed. The attacker can hardly be seen in the picture. Obviously the opponent has super fast underwater movement speed, and attacks The power of the water-type mobile angel is also quite high. Since the water-type mobile angel does not need to consider weight issues and has to resist water pressure, its own defense power is considered high among all mobile angels. However, that thing can actually make the mobile angel lose its function in an instant, and even He didn’t even have time to see the opponent’s appearance clearly, which shows that that thing has extraordinary attack power.”
"Stop it. Didn't you just want me to go and see what is attacking our people? Isn't it okay for me to go? You don't need to explain the truth to me." I know that I can't talk to the God of War anyway, and besides, it seems like this is not the case. It’s best for me to go. The attack power of that thing is obviously not very strong, and apart from the big guys in the guild, I am probably the one who can withstand the most attack. It’s hard to let Peacock Pluto take action for this matter, right? Anyway, I still want to go see the battlefield, just treat it as a side mission!
After confirming that I accepted the mission, I teleported directly to the city at the mouth of the underground river. Because it had been occupied for a long time, the teleportation array had been restored to use. Of course, there was only a bare teleportation array, and everything else was still there. Under demolition.
After entering the underground river from here, I rode Yeying and walked all the way through the water. I first went around the city of chaos, and easily solved two enemy strongholds that were resisting. After that, I got to know the person in charge here. After checking the situation and confirming that there was nothing that needed help, I went upstream along the river. However, the city below had already been occupied by the time I arrived, so I just took a look and moved on.
The city at the end had already been occupied when the military god showed me the video. Now I am here just to find the person in charge who sent the search team to understand the situation. Through his explanation, I found out that they didn’t just send people out for reconnaissance, but because there were free NPCs in the city who said that some strange animal carcasses would occasionally float down from the upper reaches of the river, so the commander wanted to send them out casually. People go over and see where the upper reaches of the underground river is. What he didn't expect was that the people he sent out died in an instant, and the players who came back didn't even know how they died.
After understanding the general situation, I went directly to the underground river. This underground river did not turn into an underground river directly in the last city, so I still rode Yeying upstream, but the further upstream I ran, the closer the river surface was to the top of the cave. The roof of the cave, which was still more than ten meters high at first, was only about three meters high after running forward for seven or eight hundred meters. With Ye Ying's height, it was already a bit troublesome to ride him on the river. After all, the cave roof was not smooth. Those hanging stone stalactites were often one or two meters long. I rode on Ye Ying's back. It's entirely possible to hit these things.
There was no way to run away on Yeying anyway, so I simply summoned Little Dragon Girl and A Di Na and went straight into the water. Ariana's underwater detection ability can provide me with a warning to prevent me from being attacked by such fast-moving creatures again. As for Xiao Longnu, she is the most powerful underwater guard. The divine dragon becomes invincible as long as it touches the water. If Little Dragon Girl and Luck are barely evenly matched in the sky, in the water even if ten Lucky are tied together, they probably won't be able to defeat one Little Dragon Girl, so Shenlong is invincible in the water.
"Ana, use your sonar to test and see if there is any danger nearby?"
"Didn't you say that the team that was attacked was still a little ahead?" A Dianna asked.
"No one stipulates that the creature that attacks the exploration team cannot swim downstream! What if it comes down? You'd better detect it quickly. I don't want to be attacked by some monster for no reason, even though that thing probably can't bite me at all. "
After hearing my words, Grandma sank into the water and began to explore. However, before she could send out the sonar signal, a huge wave suddenly rose on the water in front of us. Through the waves, I could clearly see something rushing towards us at high speed under the water. (To be continued.
