"Wow, this is the second level!" Elaine almost had such an auditory hallucination when the big spider waved one of its forelimbs.
Although this transformed Edmund was unable to speak.
"Ice, the ice is very slippery, be careful where you step." Elaine ordered: "I, I don't want to fall into the glacier with you."
The Frostbite Spider waved its forelimbs again.
He began to use his natural advantage - his silk.
Elaine had suspected it before, because when Edmund used spider silk to build a floating platform, the silk seemed to move in an unnatural direction. But now that she has seen it with her own eyes, Elaine has further confirmed her suspicion.
The silk threads emitted from behind the spider seemed to have a life of its own, moving freely forward and extending, paving a path made of silk threads on the slippery ground.
The spider silk will not move on its own. It will move in this way, naturally because it is controlled by telekinesis. In other words, the Frostbite Spider has the ability to use telekinesis, at least on its own silk threads.
Use it. And its talent is quite high. The complex silk threads are dexterously manipulated by telekinesis, weaving any form Edmund wants.
So sophisticated, so complex. Elaine even suspected that the frost-eating spider's level of manipulation of telekinesis was much higher than his human form. Maybe he could seek advice from such monsters in the snowfield when he has time, and learn from them.
Learn a trick or two secretly.
The road was paved. Edmund even constructed a safety net on the glacier nearby, which meant that even if something happened, they would be protected by the web of spider silk and would not fall into the cold glacier so easily.
.And the frost-eating spider is worthy of being a monster living on the Greenland ice sheet. Its legs are sharp and non-slip, and there are many white hairs on them that can further increase the contact area with the ice surface, allowing the spider to survive on super slippery ice.
The surface was as smooth as flying, without slipping at all. Elaine even felt that even without laying spider silk on the ground to prevent slipping, Edmund would still be able to move freely in this world of ice.
"But big brother must also promise me that when breaking into the dungeon, you must stay on the back of the spider the whole time and never do anything random." Bailey's words rang in Elaine's heart again. Elaine suddenly felt a strange feeling.
That kid Bailey is very smart. Maybe he just thought that Edmund, who had become a frost-eating spider, could protect Elaine better, so he said this. But it seemed more than that. Elaine vaguely felt that Bailey seemed to be able to predict
In the future, Bailey seemed to have known for a long time that the second level of the dungeon was such a slippery world of ice, so he told Elaine not to get off the back of the spider. But Elaine had never mentioned Atlantis before.
Bailey should have never seen the situation on the second underground floor with his own eyes. How on earth did the child know about this?
At the same time, the ground level of Atlantis.
"Uncle Queeg, are you feeling okay?" Bailey took back the bowl of mashed potatoes and asked. The sick Queeg had no appetite and only ate half of the bowl of mashed potatoes before stopping.
"It's okay...it's just that I'm a little dizzy..."
"Then you lie down and have a rest early." The little fox put the bowl aside, twisted a wet towel from the water dish next to it, and put it on the leopard's forehead: "Although the acne on the body is very itchy, it doesn't hurt.
Don't scratch it, otherwise it will leave scars."
"Okay..." Leopard replied weakly, closing his eyes and trying to sleep.
"Good night then." Bailey took the bowl of mashed potatoes and left the room.
After cleaning up the mess from dinner, Bailey sat by the campfire with a book spread out.
——"Abyssal Code: Biography of Nameless Hero".
Although it is called a "Tales of Heroes", it is not a story book. It is even difficult to say that it is a book, because it does not record any deeds. It is more like a tool that can be "used".
I don’t know why, but in the eyes of others, this strange book in the library of the Royal Family of France is completely an ordinary paper book. Some people will regard it as a novel, some will regard it as a comic, and some will even regard it as a comic book. I think it is a boring history book. In short, it always makes unqualified people lose interest in it. It always appears in front of observers as the type of book they least like to read.
But the book in Bailey's hands is an extraordinarily special metal book. In addition to the cover, even the pages are made of a special alloy, and it is even indestructible.
This reference book can predict the future, at least Bailey thinks so. When he opens the book, several beams of light will pop out of the book. Whenever he reaches out to touch these beams of light, he can glimpse the future. A vision of a certain "possibility".
By the way, the movements he made while reading were invisible to others. In the eyes of others, Bailey, who was flipping through this reference book, looked more like he was quietly reading an ordinary book. The child in the novel. No one knows that he is reading such a special metal book. It seems that only he can know what he is doing.
The future is not fixed. Countless possibilities can be derived from every major branch choice. Although many possibilities are similar, there are still major differences, and they will be in the form of this light beam. It is displayed before Bailey's eyes. If he continues to turn the pages back, he can see a more distant future and more branch possibilities. But because there are too many branches in the uncertain future, it is impossible to fully observe them. The further you turn the pages of the book, the blurrier you see it, and in the end you can't even continue reading.
Of course, Bailey has used "Tales of the Unsung Hero" to observe dozens of future branches, and more branches derived from these branches. He is now reopening the book to observe, just to further determine what will happen next. what happened, and ultimately decide what is best to do.
Because something big will happen next that will affect them, a disaster.
Just as Bailey predicted from the book, a group of Vikings were taking advantage of the gradually falling night to approach Atlantis in dozens of small boats, slowly and silently.
Originally, the Vikings dismissed this unknown ancient city and did not want to get close to Atlantis. But this was only possible on the premise that their village would not be invaded.
The Viking exiles believe that the only evidence that their village has been invaded is the mysterious disappearance of their village chief.
Elaine and his party, who arrived suddenly, were warmly entertained by the village chief as soon as they arrived. However, not long after this group left, the village chief of the Viking Exiles suddenly disappeared.
Their village chief has been missing for a whole day, so they will naturally not fail to connect the two incidents and place the blame on Elaine and his party.
...Of course, the disappearance of their village chief is indeed related to Elaine and his party, or it may be related to Edmund.
Their village chief had attacked Edmund in the snowy wilderness, and then Edmund killed the village chief in order to protect himself - how could this be explained to them? The unreasonable Vikings would not listen well. Just speak.
Moreover, some Viking exiles believed that their village chief betrayed them, and followed Elaine and his party to Atlantis, hoping to find the legendary Golden Land. They thought that the Golden Land was really located here. In the ancient city, otherwise their village chief would not do such a stupid thing.
In short, there is no point in trying to communicate with this group of Vikings. They are just a group of barbarians, the most cruel and unreasonable group among the barbarians, so cruel that they were exiled by other Vikings.
Bailey had already encountered what was about to happen using "District of the Abyss: The Story of the Unsung Hero":
Tonight, they will be attacked by this group of Vikings. Elaine, the messed up brother, will be killed in this attack;
Even if the elder brother Elaine is not killed because of his confusion, Bailey will be caught by the Vikings. The Vikings use Bailey to blackmail the elder brother Elaine, and then the elder brother has to surrender, and then they Everyone in the group will be killed.
No matter how you do it, as long as you let this group of Vikings land, everything will be over. That is an inevitable and inevitable option among many branches in the future.
The only thing that can be done now is to prevent this group of Vikings from landing.
The little fox stood up, put on his cloak, and walked towards the edge of the city of Atlantis.
He could already visually see the approaching fleet from a distance.
He must destroy this fleet here. This is the only choice to silently protect his big brother and the others.
And Elaine's eldest brother did give him a weapon - a miniature tactical nuclear bomb from the amphibious battleship [Leo].
As long as one of the tactical nuclear bombs is used, the Viking fleet can be easily destroyed and all these savage villains will be buried under the sea.
However, Bailey used "The Story of the Unsung Hero" to predict that the launch of tactical nuclear bombs may not be effective.
——Because Atlantis’s anti-air system is monitoring the entire process.
The tactical nuclear bomb is actually a missile that is launched from the battleship, hits the object located by the key card's laser, and destroys everything within a radius of three hundred feet.
However, Atlantis's anti-air firepower is so powerful that the tactical nuclear bomb will be shot down before it even gets close. The impact of the air burst will only cause a tsunami in the surrounding sea at most, but it will not destroy the Vikings. The fleet was destroyed.
Therefore, it makes no sense to just use lasers to target the Viking fleet. Bailey needs to use another way to aim and change the trajectory of the tactical nuclear bomb.
If he knew nothing about the future, he would have been checkmate at this time. However, "Tales of the Unsung Heroes" gives him more choices, which is the absolute advantage of being able to foresee the future.
Because, in addition to the fleet on the sea, he knows what else is on the bottom of the sea.
Although they have not surfaced yet and cannot be seen by anyone, they do exist. They are the various sea beasts that surround Atlantis and parade on the bottom of the sea.
The Vikings had stalled the ship and were approaching Atlantis at a very slow speed along the sea surface in order not to irritate the group of sea beasts in the sea as much as possible. But the Viking fleet was quite large, and
It consists of dozens of ships that can carry more than a dozen people. This huge fleet is conspicuous enough in itself and has long since attracted the attention of the large sea beasts on the bottom of the sea.
Because the fleet only approached Atlantis at an extremely slow speed, it did not stimulate the sea beasts, so they did not take the initiative to attack the fleet. They just swam back and forth in the sea below the fleet to inspect the situation.
The cleverness of the Vikings and the caution of the sea beasts created an opportunity for Bailey.
That's right, he doesn't actually need to use a laser to aim at the fleet. He only needs to use the laser to aim at the sea beasts on the bottom of the sea through the sea.
While he opened the book and previewed the future, he started taking aim based on his memory.
A high-energy red laser was fired from the key card, pointed directly at the sea in the distance, then penetrated the water and pointed directly at the bottom of the sea, and finally landed on a large monster in the water.
Sighting is completed. The micro tactical nuclear bomb is activated.
Battleships are originally lurking deep under the sea.
To hit targets in the sea from the bottom of the sea, tactical nuclear bombs do not need to surface at all. This is how its artificial intelligence navigation system works.
The guided missile is not like a missile, but like a torpedo, it sneaks in the sea, quickly approaches the sea beast it is aimed at, and then explodes.
Before it exploded, the little fox had already circled back to the city of Atlantis in an instant, using the city's crystal walls to protect itself.
The tactical nuclear bomb exploded, causing a huge impact in the water. This impact not only blew up the group of sea beasts in the sea, but also further stirred up the surrounding seawater, creating shock waves and tsunamis in the nearby sea areas. The explosion was not even close to the hearth.
The distant Viking fleet was naturally not immune to the impact and was caught in the impact. The ship and the people on board were instantly shattered and then engulfed by the huge vortex generated by the explosion.
The terrifying tsunami was also approaching Atlantis, and would reach the edge of the city in just tens of seconds. The little fox ran away frantically into the city, and escaped into the house the moment the tsunami hit, hugging him.
Squat deeply with your head to protect yourself.
The walls of Atlantis are extremely strong and can absorb most of the radiation and convert it into energy efficiently. The tsunami didn't even break through the walls and enter the city. It just made the whole city shake slightly.
one time.
After the impact passed, Bailey slowly got up and patted his dirty knees.
"Is this...is it over?" the little fox groaned.
He didn't have the real feeling of killing a group of people, although he clearly knew that the group of Vikings were wiped out in the nuclear explosion.
But he had foreseen the future through "The Story of the Unsung Heroes", and he knew how bad these Vikings were. If they were left alone, they would do a hundred times worse to him and his big brother. Just seeing the Vikings
With all the crazy things the Exiles are about to do, Bailey won't have the slightest hesitation in killing these bad guys.
This world is nothing more than killing and being killed. Although it sounds terrible, it is the fact. The more branches of the future Bailey foresees, the more he understands how unshakable this fact is.
"Hmm..." A warm feeling came out of his nose. It was a nosebleed.
The brain is shaking.
He knew what was happening. He chose to do this based on knowing what would happen.
Because changing your destiny requires paying a price.
There is no price for just glimpsing the future. But there is a price to pay for actually changing your destiny. When holding "The Grimoire of the Abyss: The Story of the Unsung Hero", the book told Bailey this fact so straightforwardly.
The price paid was his memory.
Bailey tried to recall his childhood experiences, and then he was convinced. All his memories from when he was sensible to when he was about three years old had been wiped clean.
Whether it was pleasant memories or unpleasant memories, they were all swallowed up by that grimoire.
He has been forced to study since he was sensible, and he retains all the knowledge he has learned. Maybe "knowledge" and "memory" are not the same thing.
He touched his bleeding nose and tried to calm down.
It would be okay if he just sacrificed the memories from before he was three years old. But next time, if he uses "The Story of the Unsung Hero" to change his destiny, he may lose more memories. The memory of four years old, the memory of five years old , the memory of six years old...the memory until now.
If he loses all his memories, he might become an empty shell without a soul.
If even those happy memories after meeting big brother Elaine are swallowed up, what should we do?
Unexpectedly, he would feel inexplicable and huge terror.
I feel dizzy. My brain feels like it has been squeezed dry. I feel sleepy and in pain.
The little fox allowed himself to change into a more comfortable position and lay down on the ground, then he closed his eyes desperately and fell asleep.
