Volume 20 Chapter 91 Sad Equipment

"It turns out there's only one of these things?" This was the last thing the three piranha clan members could think of, but as soon as they finished speaking, I assigned Aina to drag them away. 【】

Facing the group of monsters ahead, I knew I couldn't do it alone. The main reason is that there are three oil bottles behind me, otherwise I can slowly kill these monsters one by one. However, if they are not blocked now, those three will definitely not be able to escape. A Di Na's role was to remind them to run quickly, and she couldn't really lead them to finish the race with the monster. Besides, I still need Grandma to show me the way. Without her, I would be like a lost person in the desert, unable to find the north, south, east, or west at all.

"Victoria."

A golden halo appeared, and Victoria appeared in front of me instantly. "Do you need any help?"

"Brush up the status of the guys in front."

"learn."

Victoria's efficiency in using the Arrow of Destiny has improved a lot compared to before. Back then on Mount Olympus, so many Olympus protoss were suppressed by her and could not move. There were only a dozen monsters here, far away. Not her limit.

While Victoria fired the Arrow of Destiny to refresh the status of those monsters, I quickly started to summon the magic pet. If there were more than a dozen monsters when I was dealing with the monster before, I might not be able to cope with it. After all, the magic pets hadn't arrived yet, but this time it was different. Everyone had completed their tasks and returned to me. , at this time I am not afraid of anything.

"Sayako."

"Huh? Is it a monster? Let me see if I can control it." Sayoko, who had just been summoned, floated directly towards the monster in front. The monster obviously didn't have spiritual sense, so it couldn't see a pure ghost body like Sayoko at all, so it was rushed into the body by Sayoko without any intention of avoiding it, and then the guy was like an electric bug. Suddenly it twisted into a mess, then stretched out again, and twitched there repeatedly for a few seconds before settling down.

After shaking its head for a moment, the big monster invaded by Sayako suddenly turned its head and pounced on the same kind on the side. The monster next to him was startled when his companion suddenly pounced on him, but the companion who followed him bit him. Although this monster's mouth is more suitable for directly swallowing things smaller than itself. But if you really want to bite someone, you can.

Of course, it is impossible for such a big monster to die immediately after being bitten. Although I am surprised why my companions attacked me, the monster is a monster after all, and it is certain that it has no brains. Since it was attacked, it is natural to turn around and bite back. So, the two monsters started biting each other bit by bit, while the other monsters around were completely confused about the situation and could only overtake them and rush towards me.

Sayoko's performance was pretty good, so I thought about it and summoned the Hell Snake again. Although there is no strong attack power. It is also difficult to really kill the target, but the Hell Snake is definitely a weapon in group battles. Although the trick of extracting life will not kill people directly, it is still no problem to make you paralyzed.

As soon as the hell snake appeared, it coiled itself around my wrist and then raised its head. The pair of ruby-like eyes stared at the group of monsters in front of them and flashed fiercely. The next second, all the monsters seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer at the same time. It took a full two seconds before they gradually recovered and started to move towards We charged, but the speed was at least 60% lower than before.

"Okay, it's much easier to handle now." I said and pointed forward: "Pepper, it's up to you."

Although peppers do not appear to have any characteristics of aquatic species. But she is the real queen of the sea clan. Of course, this sea clan refers to some of the sea clan. In fact, the sea tribe is a general term, just like dinosaurs, mammals, and arthropods. The scope is actually quite large. Strictly speaking, the King of Atlantis, Auntina and her father, can also be regarded as the King of the Sea Tribe, and the Queen of the Piranha Tribe whom we just met before can also be regarded as the Queen of the Sea Tribe.

Of course, unlike these kings who rule a certain ethnic group, Chili was a super queen who controlled a huge sea clan alliance before she became my demon pet. The number of types of sea people under his command is in the tens of thousands, and the number is astonishing. Although 99% of them are miscellaneous fish monsters, even if there are too many miscellaneous fish to a certain extent, they are very powerful. Not to mention the remaining 0.10% of high-level creatures are actually quite a lot. After all, the basic number is too large, even if a hundred One percent is a big number.

No matter what, Chili's identity as the Queen of the Sea Tribe is correct. So she has more ways to deal with these sea tribes than we do. When A Di Na and the others encountered the Sea Tribe, they could only fight with them, but Chili knew how to control them.

After being summoned, Chili immediately understood the situation around her. She suddenly pointed at one of the monsters, and then pointed to the side to another monster. The monster she was originally pointing at immediately moved toward He turned around and bumped into his companion, and then the two monsters rumbled into a ball and rushed past us, as if they didn't see us at all. The remaining monsters could not resist Chili's spiritual invasion after she appeared. After struggling for a few seconds, they all fell silent around us, then obediently turned around and stopped at our feet like a group of puppies.

"Okay Master, now I can command them."

"Wow, how did you do that?" Sayoko, who had just taken care of the two monsters, had floated back. She looked at the group of monsters parked nearby in surprise. Then he grabbed Chili's arm and shook it while asking.

Chili Pepper smiled and replied: "Actually, it's nothing. There is a common thought wave frequency band among the sea tribe. As long as you access this frequency band, then input your own telekinesis energy into it, and rely on your own telekinesis to overcome the opponent's mental defense wall, the rest will The lower part is almost like playing marionette.”

Although Sayoko is not the type who specializes in souls, she herself is a resentful spirit, so she always needs to know something about these things. After Chili Pepper explained it, she finally understood a little bit. However, if you understand it, you will understand it, but it is impossible to copy it. In the final analysis, this skill relies on mental power to suppress the opponent's thinking. Although the wraith is a spirit body, it is easier to release mental power than ordinary creatures. But if you want to defeat such a large creature and deal with so many at once, this seems a bit strenuous. It would be better for her to control them one by one faster.

That’s a lot to say, but it actually took less than five minutes from the time those monsters rushed over to Chili Pepper controlling them all. A Dianna and the members of the piranha clan had not gone far before they came back. I called them back, and when they saw the eleven big monsters parked around them, they were all frightened and ready to run away. If it hadn't been for the pull of Aina, who knew in advance that we had controlled the monsters, they probably wouldn't have been able to escape again. .

After being dragged back and confirming at close range that the monsters were really under control, the three piranha clan members finally felt relieved. Then after feeling relieved, they began to get excited again. In fact, the reason for their excitement was quite correct, because we almost didn't encounter another monster during the subsequent journey to the location of the instrument. The powerful deterrence of this group of monsters makes the surrounding little monsters dare not approach at all. Even if a few relatively strong fools rush in rashly, they will be beaten to death by a group of eleven monsters.

The three piranha clan members felt very happy about the current situation. Before, they were always on tenterhooks every time they entered this water. Now, eleven monsters that they thought were completely invincible were protecting them. Naturally, they were extremely relieved. . However, they think so, but I don’t.

According to the previous description of the little skeleton, the monsters here don't seem to like this self-luminous water very much. They prefer the more normal dark water on the other side. So. If we follow this theory, if these monsters are really the apex predators here, then why do they stay in the dark waters where they are more comfortable and have more food resources and come to this area where the environment is very dangerous for them? What about areas that are terrible and extremely food scarce? Doesn't this make sense at all? Therefore, there is only one answer, and that is that there must be more powerful and real apex predators in the dark waters ahead.

Although I had already guessed that there must be more vicious monsters ahead, it wasn't until we reached the junction of the dark waters and the light waters. That apex predator still hasn't emerged. Of course, we encountered a lot of little monsters during our journey, but they were all swallowed up by the eleven monsters we brought with us, and they didn't cause any trouble at all.

"Is this the new entrance to the cave?" I asked the three piranha members next to me while observing the big hole in front of me at the junction of the two waters.

The piranha guide nodded and said: "Yes, this place used to be a stone wall, but later a big hole was opened due to the earthquake. But there was no problem at first. Until one day a naughty little guy was playing with his companions I hid in this water while playing hide-and-seek, and the child never came out again. The next day, the clan sent many people here to prepare to search for the missing child. Unexpectedly, because there were too many people, instead Attracted the large monster over there. When the monster rushed out, it completely smashed the already cracked rock bi into pieces, and then more monsters chased the monster in front and rushed out to destroy the entrance of the cave. It became as big as it is now, and our tribe had to take refuge in the area where we live now after that disaster."

I nodded and began to observe the hole carefully. The shape of the hole is a bit similar to a school sports ground, like a rectangle with two semicircles on each side, but the area of ​​the hole is indeed a little larger. According to visual inspection, the width of the cave entrance is at least 200 meters. The area with the largest upper and lower span is more than 500 meters. It's not difficult to seal such a big hole, but the problem is that it's underwater here, so it's not as easy to construct as on land. Secondly, this is not a safe zone. It is not an easy task to construct among the monsters. Besides, even if it can be constructed, how thick do we need to make the walls? The reason why monsters haven't broken through the wall for so many years is not because they can't break through it. It's because they don't know there is food here. In the monster's previous understanding, this place was a wall. Even if it was very thin, no monster would be stupid enough to hit it, because there is no need at all. But it’s different now. The monsters already know that there is food here. Even if the water environment here makes them feel uncomfortable, food is the most important thing anyway. Therefore, even if we seal the exit, we will inevitably There will be monsters to rush it away again.

If you want to prevent monsters from breaking through this wall, there are only three ways. The first is to leave guards to guard the place; the second is to physically reinforce the wall to the point where monsters cannot hit it; and the third is to directly install the magic protection system. This is the safest.

The first of the three methods is obviously unreliable. The second method sounds great, but is a bit difficult to implement. To establish a strong defense line with such a large hole is almost like rebuilding a wall. If we were on land, even if I were asked to build a house and trap all the monsters in it, I wouldn't even frown. The 800,000 engineering troops raised by the Frost Rose Alliance are no joke. A medium-sized city can be built in three days. This efficiency is terrifying to death. Building a defensive wall is like playing house. But the problem is that now we are not repairing on the ground, but in the water. We do have 800,000 engineering troops, but not even 8,000 can carry out underwater construction. And many equipment and materials cannot be used in water. At the very least, don’t expect quick-drying cement or anything like that. Underwater construction can only use a steel structure welded into a frame, and then make an anti-rust protective layer, and finally add strips of stone on both sides to assist. This is the only construction method, but in that case, not only will the investment be huge, but the construction period will also be shortened. Unacceptably long. The most important point is that this investment is only to complete one task, which is obviously a bit unjustifiable. As for magic barriers or something, I haven't even thought about that. If I have that kind of money, I might as well buy some magic crystals and use them as bombs to blow this whole place down. Why go to all the trouble to build a protective barrier?

Finally, after weighing it for a long time, I gave up the plan of blocking the entrance and exit. It was not impossible. But the cost is unacceptable. "As expected, we still need to eliminate the monsters here!" I sighed helplessly as I looked at the huge hole.

"What? Purge?" The member of the piranha tribe next to me who was in charge of guarding looked at me in surprise, thinking I was crazy. "What, President Ziri, are you kidding?"

"What? You think it can't be done, don't you?"

Although the other party didn't answer, it was obvious that he thought I couldn't handle it. Although they were excited for a while after gaining control of eleven monsters, they gradually came to their senses after arriving here. They knew that the ones we controlled could never be the strongest monsters here, so now they are still I think the monsters here will be so powerful that we won't be able to deal with them at all.

I didn't bother to explain their suspicions. The best way to explain is to prove it with results. It doesn't matter whether they believe it or not now, so there's no need for me to explain in a hurry.

"Anyway, let's go take a look at that device first?" I suggested, changing the subject.

The three piranha clan members nodded, and then began to lead the way to where the instrument was. Originally, I thought the difficulty of this mission was to deal with those monsters, but obviously I underestimated this mission.

"This, this, this..." When we arrived at the location where the equipment was supposed to be, what we saw was a huge pothole, but. There are only a bunch of metal supports fixed to the wall that have been severely twisted in the pit. As for the so-called equipment... I didn't see it anyway.

Chili swam to the gap and checked the section of the rock and the broken position of the metal bracket, and then said: "There has been an impact here. The other party probably did not come for the equipment. It may have been an accidental collision, or it was caused by hitting the head. Collision."

"If that's the case, then the equipment should be nearby. The water flow here is very gentle and will not affect the landing point. According to this logical inference, things are probably at the bottom of the water below." A Di Na followed.

After hearing what the two people said, I nodded and said, "Go down and take a look first."

After receiving the confirmation, everyone began to dive down together. Along the way, Chili also carefully checked the rock wall near where the device was originally located. As expected, another scratch mark and some other objects were found more than 30 meters below. Metal fragments, based on this we can basically determine that the equipment rolled to the bottom of the water.

Dive all the way down the rock wall. Because the rock wall itself has an inclination towards our side, the fallen equipment is equivalent to rolling down a slope, so some impact and scratch marks can be found from time to time along the way. However, it is quite satisfying to find one or two traces of this kind to help us confirm that we are not looking in the wrong direction, but seeing so many traces makes us unhappy.

The member of the piranha clan who was responsible for the protection asked worriedly: "It has been rolled down and bumped so many times along the way, can that thing still be used?"

The technical member of the Piranha Tribe said a little uncertainly: "There is a protective shell on the outside of the device, and there is a large gap between it and the device itself. Theoretically, it should not be broken. It's just that it rolled and rolled all the way. It was hit by a collision. I'm afraid that the internal parts of the equipment will be damaged due to vibration. Although the equipment itself has no moving parts, there are still some precision parts that cannot vibrate. However, this is not accurate. Everything has to be checked after finding the equipment. Only then will we know.”

Although the impact marks along the way made us all wary, following the obvious marks along the way, we did not take any detours and found the so-called equipment directly. However, when we saw it, everyone felt a little bit in their hearts. Looking at the battered thing in front of us that looked like a rotten lychee shell, we basically gave up any hope. It would be a miracle if this thing still works!
