The Voyage of Exchange——Rebirth from the Dead Chapter 6 The Great Crisis
At this critical moment, Sophia finally woke up.
"Uh...huh?! What was that black mist just now?!" Sophia woke up slowly, remembering the scene before she lost consciousness, and was so shocked that she stood up from the deck. However, she found that everyone except herself had fallen down.
bad situation.
The huge monster not far away was still baring its teeth and claws, and the power of chaos and disorder continued to impact Sophia's mind. She felt that she could not hold on for long. There was a chaotic and contradictory existence in the direction behind the ship, and the endless madness was swallowing her up and down.
's mind.
"Anyway...anyway," Sophia covered her head. "Take everyone away from this place first..." She bit her hand hard and tried her best to stabilize her mind with the help of the pain.
Sophia reached for Noel's artifact, and tried to communicate with it before taking it: "We are all in a very critical moment now. Now that Noel has fallen, isn't he someone you recognize? If he dies because of this, wouldn't it be useless?
People can use you to continue fighting. And now I am the only one left who can lead everyone out of here, but my mental state is getting worse and worse now. I need your help to strengthen it. If you are willing to help, just make it
If you make some noise, I will ask you to agree to let me use it. At least this will help me lead everyone out of this place. Although I am not a dwarf, my will and the idea of protecting my companions are never inferior to others." But this one.
The three-headed alien dwarf artifact did not react at all.
Having said that, Sophia, who knew that it could enhance the soul, didn't care too much. She gritted her teeth and grabbed the artifact directly. As she grabbed the artifact in Noel's hand, a thunder brewing in the dark cloud accompanied the explosion.
The sound suddenly fell from the sky above the ship!
Sky thunder struck Sofia, but it contained a blasphemous energy. At the same time, the ship's main and auxiliary masts were also chopped down, and a big hole was blown into the deck. She was hit hard by this thunder. Fortunately, her body
The spell protected him from a lot of damage, but he was still bombarded by some lightning and was covered in smoke.
After that, the spell to control the water level was quickly chanted from Sophia's mouth. The next moment after the chanting was completed, three huge blue spell bands enveloped the water where the ship was. Then the water surface began to rise, and in Sophia
Under the premise of ensuring the integrity of the ship and increasing the speed as much as possible, accelerate the ship and leave this area as soon as possible.
Sophia tried her best to use the spell of controlling the water level to create water flow to accelerate away from the range of spiritual pollution.
The suddenly intensified storm began to thunder and lightning, and more than twenty whirlpools appeared on the sea. The sky and sea were under the control of that existence, preventing ships from leaving!
Instead, there is a canyon corner full of rocks ahead. I am afraid there are many reefs under the water, but we can only rush through here!
Under the interference of whirlpools and huge waves, the effect of the spell is far from expected, but it can still guide the ship through without hitting the corners of the canyon. Those who cannot avoid the rocks and reefs can only hope that the ship is strong enough.
Finally, they controlled the water flow and bypassed the corner of the canyon. However, a huge wave higher than the boat came from the front. The boat was about to be overturned. Sophia immediately judged that while grabbing the guardrail, she could also grab a teammate.
, but others may be thrown from the ship...
Sophia spent all the remaining magic power to directly stop time, and then quickly threw the dense Noel and the relatively fragile Hitz into the cabin during the still period. Then she used the water level to try to offset the huge wave.
Although Sophia used magic to reduce the height of the huge wave as much as possible, the wave still capsized the boat.
In the end, Carlin, Chester, Moengnan, Fageni and Dinefel were thrown off the deck, falling on the distant sea and being washed away by the current.
Sophia managed to hang the clothes or weapons on the deck guardrail without being thrown out, and the other two skeletons were sent into the cabin one by one.
Then Sophia also fainted in the cabin, and the overturned boat drifted away with the storm...
Before the Great Amnesia, the coastal country of Cyrus and the Holy Empire of Canado had sent missions to each other several times, but before the relevant matters regarding the establishment of diplomatic relations were officially announced to the public, the disaster broke out.
Geographically, the Principality of Cyrus is located due east of the Buryusili Alliance, but the mountains filled with countless monsters have cut off the land routes from the Kingdom of Bakato and Endigon to the Principality of Cyrus.
The land route between the empire and the principality was too far, which resulted in the principality's development stagnating after it annexed all the nearby areas that could be occupied and stabilized the situation.
What follows is oversupply, deflation, economic downturn, declining people's satisfaction, declining birthrate, and aging population.
The Great Amnesia reversed these unfavorable situations. That was because the Explorers Association absorbed a large number of members of the Engineers Association that was disbanded due to the Great Amnesia, and developed an aerospace craft a year later. Even the Queen of the Principality had to admit that since then
The development of the principality will be extremely dependent on aerostats.
For a time, everyone in the principality, from the parliamentarians to the farmers, showed great enthusiasm for outward expansion. So far, in the next five years, the territory of the principality has expanded by almost one-third.
The emergence of various new things has greatly stimulated economic recovery and created a large number of jobs for idle people in society. It is expected that there will be no social unrest in the next hundred years.
In the seventh year, on a small island located on the outermost edge of the principality's territory, the lighthouse on duty on the island observed a floating island. Soon this matter spread to the country, and the Explorers Association, the principality's royal family, and major parliamentarians began to step up their efforts.
Research a new type of aerostat that can fly higher and protect the vacuum flow above the air layer that current aerostats cannot fly to.
But these have nothing to do with Miss Alter. Her battle has already begun in advance in a swamp filled with poisonous fog.
July 2nd of the seventh year, Tankelua Village on the border of the Principality of Cyrus.
Airt was assigned to investigate incidents of mutiny and wounding in villagers in several villages on the border of the principality. It was originally a small task, but when Airt and several other explorers arrived, the villages were already deserted.
Not long after entering the village for investigation, countless mutated villagers who looked almost completely different from humans rushed over with farm tools. Although their attacks were unsystematic, they were very fast and powerful, and a few people could hardly kill these monsters. Before, they could only smear them.
Only weapons infused with holy water can harm these monsters, and only by burning their limbs with extremely high-temperature flames can they be completely killed. Soon, other explorers whose strength was far less than that of Erte died.
Alone and helpless, Alter cleared a temporary "road" with his range of attacks. Then he staggered over the corpses of the adventurers and ran towards the swamp behind the village.
Several people had known before that the interior of this swamp was filled with lavender poisonous mist, but the outside was fine and could be combated with anti-poison potions, but the poisonous mist in the depths would corrode even armor.
At this time, Erte's inner armor had been completely damaged. Not long ago, thanks to the inner armor blocking the terrifying claw attack, she barely escaped. Her backpack had also been lost long ago, and there were almost no supplies left on her body.
The more than twenty monsters behind him were still chasing, and they finally had no retreat... The goggles, earplugs and iron shields provided by the association withstood the poisonous mist and protected the most vulnerable parts. Going forward is just a kick.
If you don't give it a try here if you sink into the silt, you will be completely doomed.
Several mutated villagers holding sickles showed their weapons and slashed at them. The spiritual wind shield was quickly destroyed, and then the sharp claws pierced through the abdomen...
Alter was thrown heavily to the edge of the mudflat. Blood was bleeding from the corners of her mouth, and her intestines and other organs slipped out of the huge wound in her abdomen.
At this time, pieces of gray snowflakes fell from high in the sky, that is, in the sky layer. Soon they were decorated with gray silver...and covered the swamp, and the mutated villagers turned into ice sculptures.
The lavender poisonous mist was dispersed by the unusually beautiful gray withered snow, but countless rich black mist came from a distance, instantly engulfing the corpse of Alter who was repairing his wounds and regenerating his organs, leaving only
A pile of frozen intestines fell down...
When she woke up again, Erte was covered in blood. This was not her blood, but her whole body was soaked in a pool of blood filled with human limbs. Fortunately, the goggles, earplugs and iron face shield prepared by the association were still there.
After fluttering a few times from the blood pool, Alter grabbed the metal edge of the blood pool and climbed up.
Thanks to the frightening concentration of dragon blood in her body, Erte, who has dark vision, discovered that this seemed to be a factory that produced steam machinery. Of course it had been abandoned. She immediately turned back to observe what the pool behind her looked like, and then looked at the surrounding area.
In this environment, is there any way out?
According to general theory, the pool behind him should have been a wastewater discharge pond. I don't know why there are stumps and blood inside now... There is no light in this building, and there is only one door to leave this large room.
Alter quickly walked over and planned to push the door open and leave the large room. But when she walked around several lathes and empty barrels and twisted the door handle, the door did not open. And the rusty iron door did not open.
Blood suddenly began to ooze from the upper part, and at the same time there was the sound of drainage coming from behind.
Alter looked back in panic to see what was going on. At this time, the blood began to be drained, and then the stumps and broken arms inside began to gather in one position.
In such a closed environment, Erte was very panicked. Seeing this situation, she hoped to escape from this place as soon as possible. The Dragon Vein Warlock raised the boxed magic weapon in his hand, chanted a spell, and tried to use magic missiles at the lock of the door.
The lock was penetrated, but after three rounds it was only slightly dented outwards...
