Chapter 245 The Hermit

Volume 19 Chapter 245 The Hermit

In fact, the airflow generated when a high-speed object moves is not just the impact airflow at the front end. After the front of the object passes by, a powerful vortex directed toward itself will be generated. This airflow will absorb all objects close to its moving path. to its surroundings. If I don't turn eternity into a cage to fix Su Lun and I, even if we persist through the wall of air generated by the passage of the stone pillar, we will be sucked into the pillar by the airflow behind it, and then be carried away by the pillar. go out. Of course I am not afraid of such a collision, but Su Lun is not sure. With his strength, the probability of death is definitely more than 80%.

After I was ready, the stone pillar finally arrived. Along with a violent blast of air, Su Lun felt that he almost flew up. If his body hadn't been firmly fixed to the wall by the cage he had just created, he would have definitely been blown away.

After the stone pillar passed, I immediately took back Eternity and took Su Lun forward to move forward. When the next stone pillar fired, we fixed ourselves on the wall again. Although the thing that shoots stone pillars seems to be able to adjust its shooting power, it does not have the ability to adjust its shooting angle, so no matter how hard it shoots, as long as we stick to the wall, Then there is no need to worry about being hurt by the stone pillar.

As we moved forward little by little, we soon reached the end of the passage, and we also saw the device that fired the stone pillars.

To be honest, I was really shocked when I saw this thing. When I didn't come here before, I didn't have much expectations for this launching device, because I always thought it was a large instrument similar to a bed crossbow. The reason why it can launch stone pillars weighing several tons and generate such a high speed may be entirely due to the relatively large launch device. However, no matter how big the bed crossbow is, it cannot escape the fact that it is still a crossbow after all, and its power has limits. However, when I actually saw this launching device, I was really shocked.

The end of the passage in front of us is not a dead end, but there is a downward staircase entrance directly in front of the launching device. Just take advantage of the interval after the launching device sends out a stone pillar to jump into the hole. You will no longer be attacked by the stone pillars above. However, at this time, I am more concerned about the launching device than the hole below.

The main body of this launching device is not a complex mechanical structure, but a simple round hole. The diameter of this circular hole is about three meters, and its depth is about one hundred meters. There are no mechanical products inside this round hole, and there is almost nothing inside. This hole is a simple hollow with nothing superfluous inside. However, when a stone pillar was launched, we immediately discovered its amazingness.

Just after the previous stone pillar was launched, an opening suddenly opened at the top of the round hole, and then a sound of mechanical operation was heard. Then with a whine of wind, a stone pillar suddenly opened from the top. The opened gap fell into this circular channel. However, the stone pillar did not fall to the ground of the passage. Instead, the entire cave wall lit up with arcs of electricity as the stone pillar fell. These arcs appear at the end of the channel, and then begin to move forward rapidly. Before the first arc circle moves to the exit, the second arc circle will appear again, followed by the third and fourth. The entire passage was soon filled with circles of arcs, and the fallen stone pillar was like a log falling into the water. It sank first, but its speed became slower and slower, as if it was being struck by something. The strength seems to support it. Finally, when the stone pillar was about to hit the bottom of the channel, it finally stopped completely and slowly rose back up, finally completely suspended in the center of the channel.

After the stone pillar was stabilized, the arcs in the channel suddenly flashed collectively, and the entire channel turned white. The dazzling bright light accompanied by the crackling sound of electric current made people's ears numb. Almost at the same time that I remembered the sound of electric current, a low roar that made people's hearts jump along with it also sounded at the same time. With the help of strong light goggles, I saw the stone pillar starting directly from the bottom of the passage. Accelerating, it finally reached extreme speed at the entrance of the passage and flew out and disappeared into the passage ahead with a roar.

What is this thing that belonged to his grandfather? Electromagnetic railgun? But I haven't heard that the electromagnetic rail gun can shoot rocks? Besides, there are no such high-tech gadgets in the game, right? However, I soon realized that this was probably the magic version of the rail gun. Although "Zero" is a game based on fantasy, it was designed by real humans after all, so it is inevitable that many real things will appear in it. Of course, they will not appear in a complete form in reality, but will become a brand new thing under the game structure. Players generally call this kind of thing a magic version of an item.

Real magic items are actually very common in games. For example, there are many magic crystal power devices that are mastered by guilds. You can think of them as the magic version of electric motors. The magic energy in the game can also be used in many cases. understood as electrical energy. Although they all have a magical coating, their basis is actually electricity in reality, which is just illusory.

The thing in front of you should also be based on magic, but the real-life sample it draws from should undoubtedly be the electromagnetic railgun. However, compared with the real-life electromagnetic railgun, the firing power of this thing seems to be higher. It's much larger. At least in reality, I don't know of any railgun that can accelerate something weighing dozens of tons to subsonic speeds with only a length of seventy or eighty meters. If it really had such a strong propulsion, an electromagnetic weapon the size of an ordinary rifle would be almost equivalent to a 120mm anti-aircraft gun. Isn't this too powerful?

Whatever this thing is, I now know it can accelerate objects to subsonic speeds without touching them. There is no way I would give up on such a powerful thing.

"Quick, quick, come out to work."

At my call, a bunch of my demon pets quickly appeared around me. Of course, everyone is standing against the wall, and that thing is still firing stone pillars at a rate of one shot every eight seconds. If you dare to stand in the middle of the passage, be prepared to be knocked out.

Xiaochun discovered the launching device almost as soon as he came out and exclaimed: "Is this an electromagnetic rail gun?"

"Whatever it is, let's take it apart first." Ling obviously understands my behavior and habits better than Xiaochun. With her greeting, my other magic pets immediately got busy.

Because this thing and the surrounding walls are completely connected together, we can only dig to both sides first, and then try to take out the entire launch device. Because the passage is relatively narrow now, large creatures cannot come out to help. They can only rely on Ling's corrosion technique, Xiaofeng's high-temperature flames, and Everett's dissolving rays to cut the wall.

Ling's Corrosion Technique is relatively fastest and silent. Xiaofeng's cutting efficiency was the worst, and her flames were slightly scattered, and a lot of magma melted when cutting through the wall, so Su Lun had to go down to the staircase below to avoid the lava. Of course, in order to prevent him from being killed by monsters or mechanisms below, I also sent a few familiars to protect him. Even if he has never been to this place before, this is his country after all, and he always knows more about some customary things than I do.

With the efforts of Ling and Everett, it only took us ten minutes to dig out a space big enough for a large creature to squeeze in. With this foundation, it will be much easier to handle. I first summoned Mira. I relied on my indestructible body to hit Mira with her claws, and sometimes blasted her with a few rounds of destruction rays. She soon widened a hole on the wall. Enough room for a few of my dragons.

After releasing all the lucky ones, our excavation speed obviously accelerated a lot. Xiaofeng no longer needs to use flames to dig holes, but only needs to use high temperature to soften the walls, and then Luck and Plague can quickly dig through the walls. Due to their large size, the mining speed of Lucky and Plague is quite exaggerated. On the other hand, Mira has a good speed with Everett, and after the addition of Crystal, the speed is obviously faster, because the Crystal is unexpectedly mastered. A rare spell - Fossil to Mud. This is a very uncommon spell, but it works very well. Usually this spell is a skill used by mages to create a temporary cave for rest, but if you control the mana output flexibly, you can use this spell to soften the rocks in a large area. Since the stones don't need to be completely turned into dirt, just softened, the mana cost is much smaller and the range of effect can be increased. The softened stone itself is almost the same as sand. For ordinary people, it may take some effort to dig it out, but for some of my dragons, it is not a problem at all.

After some brutal expansion by Lucky and the others, we soon expanded a large space in front of the launcher, and then Ling began to use her corrosion technique to push towards the side of the launcher bit by bit. Of course Chili Pepper has been following Ling's side, using his mental power to explore the situation behind the rock to prevent Ling from melting the possible transmitter behind it.

After more than thirty minutes, Ling finally opened a passage tens of meters deep in the wall and roughly determined the range of the transmitter. With this range, they were lucky enough to dare to dig vigorously in order to separate the entire launcher from the surrounding stone walls.

I was not idle while Lucky and the others were digging the hole. Instead, I went down to the passage where Su Lun entered and planned to explore the situation below first.

There is a convention in "Zero" that no matter what map it is, people who enter it for the first time will always get some special benefits. According to Su Lun's knowledge, the passage in front of me has never been opened before, so I have reason to believe that there should be some formal rewards down there. Besides, if you can use a magic version of the electromagnetic railgun to guard the door, the things below will definitely not be inferior.

Since he had been waiting here for more than an hour, Su Lun was already anxious. When he saw me coming down, he immediately ran over and asked, "Have you finished digging up there?"

"Not yet. That thing is quite big. It might take some time to dig it out completely. I plan to explore it here first."

Su Lun immediately nodded and said: "That's great, I'm anxious waiting here."

"Then let's go quickly."

This downward staircase is not very long. It reaches the bottom after descending about ten meters. There is still a passage under the stairs, but it is much lower and narrower than the passage above. The passage below is only two meters wide and only a little over two meters high. People like basketball players have to lower their heads when entering.

Unlike the rock passage above, the walls of the passage below don't seem to be made of rock, but some kind of strange material. This kind of thing has a non-reflective gray color and is cool to the touch, but it doesn't feel like paper like metal. The surface is quite smooth and a bit moist. Although I don't know what kind of material this is, I always feel that this thing is very similar to the carapace on a beetle, but the structure of this channel is obviously artificial. Even if there were bugs in the game that could grow so big, they wouldn't grow carapace like rectangular channels, right?

All the way forward along the passage, after walking about a hundred meters, a downward staircase appeared again in the passage, and this time it was much longer than the last staircase. We followed the stairs down for at least a thousand meters, and then the stairs suddenly ended and we walked directly into a huge open space.

"This is...?" Su Lun was completely stunned almost the moment he entered this open space.

What we see in front of us is not a man-made building hall, nor a simple cave, but a large tropical rainforest-like environment. There was a large bush directly outside the hole we came out of. After passing through these bushes, we found ourselves standing at the bottom of a valley. Looking up, we can see that the cliffs in front of us and behind us are covered with various tropical plants, and we can even see blue sky and white clouds further up.

This place is deep underground, and I haven't heard of a valley nearby. It can be determined that this is either an underground world or another spatial location.

If this is the underground world, then the blue sky and white clouds above your head should be an illusion. After all, when you look up in the cave, you can only see the top of the cave, not the sky. If this is another spatial location, it means that a certain section of the passage we came down from before should be connected to the spatial door.

Although theoretically there are two possibilities, I personally feel that the most likely scenario is the first one. Although it is indeed much more complicated to simulate blue sky and white clouds in an underground cave than to build a portal, I did not feel the fluctuation of magic energy along the way. Even a space door will have magical energy. Although I may not be able to detect it in advance, I will definitely feel it the moment I walk through the door. Now I don't feel any feeling of passing through the space door, which can only mean that this is an underground cave, and the blue sky and white clouds above my head were deliberately created by someone.

Being able to create a virtual sky in an underground cave is not an extremely powerful ability, but it is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. Taking into account the super electromagnetic rail gun outside, the owner here is probably a very good guy, and he may also be a fairly versatile legal profession. Of course, before figuring out the specific situation, it's best to find a way to climb up first. We are now at the bottom of the cliff, and we really can't see anything except the sky and the cliffs on both sides, so we have to climb up first to understand the situation.

"Let's go up and have a look." I pulled Su Lun, who was still in a daze, and pointed up.

Su Lun was stunned for a moment, then realized and nodded to express his understanding.

Although there are cliffs before and after, the height of the cliffs on both sides seems to be different. The height of the cliff behind us looks amazing, as if it is almost reaching the sky, so our current goal is the cliff in front of us.

The height of the cliff in front of us is probably more than 100 meters, which can be said to be quite impressive. But it’s not too difficult to climb up, because the cliff is not very smooth. The cliff itself has a certain angle, and there are many protruding rocks on it, so there are many places to stay. It’s just because of the height that it’s difficult to climb up. It may take some effort. Of course, the better way is to fly up directly, but what surprised me is that there is a forbidden air effect here. After flapping my wings, I could only play a little assistive role in lifting, but I couldn't fly off the ground. Not only me, my magic pet can't fly here either, but even if I can't fly, I don't plan to really climb up step by step.

Although the wings have lost the ability to fly, I found that the gliding ability of the wings is still there, which means that if I jump from a high place, I can still use the wings to slow down. After making this discovery, I directly used a rather extreme method to deal with the mountain in front of me.

"Get ready." As I shouted, the King Kong I summoned stretched out his right arm, and then I turned over and landed lightly on his arm. Following King Kong, he stretched his right arm back to the limit, and then as I started shouting, he suddenly violently threw his twisted right arm forward, and I, who was squatting on his arm, was also diagonally above him. While shaking my arms, I kicked my legs suddenly with force. Su Lun, who was standing on the side, saw me fly up to the top of the cliff like a cannonball with a whine of wind.

After spreading my wings and landing lightly, I turned around and raised my hand to shoot out the dragon tendon. Su Lun fixed himself on the rope head as I instructed, and then I pulled him up as soon as I reeled in the line.

After successfully reaching the top of the cliff, we immediately discovered that it still seemed impossible to observe the entire area, because the top of the cliff was not a mountain, but a plain. We couldn't see anything except the dense tropical rainforest, which meant that it was useless to come up, we still couldn't find anything.

Su Lun looked at the big trees next to him, and then suddenly jumped up to one of the big trees like a monkey and climbed up. After looking up for a while, he quickly slid down and said to me: "President Ziri, the area here seems to be very large. I wonder if we should wait for your other magic pets to finish handling that thing and join together. Are you leaving again?"

"No need. My demon pets have special space channels that can come to me at any time. You don't have to worry about my reduced combat effectiveness. However, the area here is really too big, and you can't fly. It's really a bit difficult for us to explore the path alone. trouble."

"Then what should we do? Do you want to call your people from the Frost Rose Alliance to help?"

"That's no need." I snapped my fingers, and a large group of Death Guards instantly appeared around me. Then, with Su Lun's envious eyes, I waved my hand forward and said, "Search separately and report to me any deliberate things you find." .”

"Ouch..." One of the Death Guards roared in the sky after hearing the order, and then the surrounding Death Guards immediately scattered and rushed in different directions.

Although this space is large, it is an underground cave after all, not a truly vast tropical jungle, so it can be easily searched through the human sea tactic. In fact, the exploration effect of the Death Guards was much better than I thought. Less than ten minutes after the group of Death Guards dispersed, I received a report from one of the Death Guards. Based on the information from the Death Mark, I quickly found this team of Death Guards, and then I also saw what they wanted me to see.

"Is this...an illusion?" Su Lun stood in front of an ordinary-looking bush and stretched out his hand to 'touch' the air in front of him, but the snapping sound of his hands clearly told me that he was 'touching' To the rocks and stuff like that.

This is the first suspicious place the Death Guards discovered. This seemingly ordinary rain forest seems to be no different from the rain forest where we were just now, but when you reach out and 'touch' you will find that the forest in front of you is impossible to pass through. All you can 'touch' is a large area that looks like It feels like a rock, and the forests in the distance are like pictures on TV, you can see them but you can't enter them at all.

"Emenis, come out and see what this is?"

The summoned Amynis just glanced at the forest in front of him and said directly: "Optical illusion is a very elementary thing, but the degree of reality is quite high. Although the people who use this illusion are not high-level, their skills are still good. Quite good.”

As the goddess of illusions, the fact that Amynis can give such a comment proves that the person who created this illusion is indeed very powerful. After all, there are very few illusions that can catch her eyes in front of Amynis.

After Amynis confirmed that this was an illusion, I immediately asked: "Are the blue sky and white clouds above my head also an illusion?"

Amynis nodded and said: "The blue sky, white clouds and walls above are actually part of an illusion. This illusion is very large and seems to wrap up everything around it. What we are in now should be an underground cave. However, the walls and ceiling of the cave are blocked by this illusion, so it looks like we are on the ground."

"Can you destroy this illusion?"

Amynis nodded and said: "Yes, yes, but this is a continuous working illusion, and it seems that it is not supported by people, but is emitted by items similar to magic circles. If it cannot be found and destroyed, Or if I turn that thing off, I have to keep dispelling the illusion, otherwise it will return to normal as soon as I stop the illusion."

"Then you keep dispelling the illusion first, and I will find the illusion item as soon as possible."

"I understand." Following Amynis's words, we suddenly discovered that a black hole appeared in the forest scene we just saw, and then it was as if there was a fire in the middle of a painting. As the flames spread around, the picture It also gradually disappeared, but now it was just an illusion. At first, the illusion faded relatively slowly, but as the fading area expanded, the fading speed became faster and faster. Finally, the entire sky and the illusion on the surrounding cave walls disappeared all at once.

After the illusion completely fades we finally see what's really going on here. The forest is still the same forest, but the area is not as large as previously imagined. When I climbed up a big tree, I quickly saw the whole cave. This cave is long and strip-shaped. The place we entered is located on the narrow side of the cave. The width here is about five kilometers, and there are still more than ten kilometers in length ahead. As for the forest we saw before, it just covered the entire cave in the middle. It was not as boundless as we first saw. Of course, the sky above your head does not exist, but there is indeed a big fireball on the top of the cave, shining on the entire cave below. In other words, the light intensity here is not fake, but the light source is not Just the sun.

After seeing clearly the situation inside the cave, I began to plan to find the device that created the illusion. As the saying goes, if you stand high, you can see far. It should be the highest when flying. Unfortunately, it is forbidden to fly here, so I can't fly. Of course, you can stand high when climbing trees, but climbing one tree after another is obviously too time-consuming, so I had to find a magic pet that is tall enough to stand on him. After a little weighing, I ended up not summoning any large magic pet, but released the scythe.

There is a very famous superhero in the United States called Spider-Man. That guy likes to hang around in the city with a spider thread all day long. The scythe happens to be a spider-type monster, and this happens to be an underground cave. ', as long as the sickle shoots the spider silk to the top of the cave, you can fly around in the cave like Spider-Man. This method not only allows you to stand at a very high position and overlook the entire cave, but more importantly, it is fast enough.

Although the speed of the sickle is very fast, because its size can only be regarded as a medium-sized monster, it is already the limit for carrying me around in the sky. Su Lun understood what I meant as soon as he saw the scythe's appearance, and he also took the initiative to stay with Amynis so that I could observe the situation in the sky with the scythe alone.

After arranging the escort work of Amynis and Suellen, I climbed on the back of the scythe, and then the scythe sprayed a line of spider silk directly towards the roof of the cave. After the spider silk stuck to the cave roof, the sickle immediately jumped up, and at the same time quickly shortened the spider silk back, and we flew to the cave roof in an instant. The sickle suddenly turned over in the air just as it was about to hit the roof of the cave. Then with a crack, his eight blades were directly inserted into the rocks on the roof of the cave, easily hanging us both upside down. On the top of the cave.

"This location is really good, the view is much wider." I hung upside down on him with the sickle between my legs, and then activated the Star Pupil to start zooming in and searching areas one by one. Sure enough, I soon discovered the thing that created the illusion, and luckily I also discovered the owner of this place. "Hey, it's you."
