Chapter 3326 The Trial of the Great Fool (One Hundred and Twenty Nine)
Although you could clearly feel that the teleportation device was getting hot when you recovered it, Elaine at least sent the two iron cavalry to the underground maze of Atlantis.
With reliable transportation, it is somewhat safer when crossing the snow world on the third underground floor.
Bailey insisted on sitting in the back seat of the cavalry driven by Elaine, so the other cavalry could only be driven by Queeg, with Edmund sitting in the back seat.
Queeg's driving skills seem to be very poor. He can barely make his iron cavalry fly. It is probably impossible for him to drive his iron cavalry to dodge enemy attacks nimbly during a real battle.
Elaine's side isn't much better either.
He only regrets now that he didn't seriously learn to drive an iron horse. This is obviously an operating system that children can easily control (because it is assisted by the automatic navigation system), but wanting to use it to perfection is another matter.
.
The driving skills of both sides are not very good, so we can only bite the bullet and get on with it.
"Snow, there are pale worms living in the snow, and they will fly out and attack people." Elaine groaned: "Anyway, let the cavalry fly at least ten yards away from the snow, and don't get too close to the surface."
"How about flying higher?"
"No, no. Go up, the ceiling covered with white cloud-like things is also very dangerous." Elaine continued to groan: "There are cloud spiders."
"Cloud Spider?"
"No, I don't know the real name of that kind of monster, but those cloud-like things on the ceiling are actually spider silk. Then, those palm-sized spiders hide in the cloud-like spider silk, waiting for opportunities to sneak attack on approaching creatures.
"
"There are worms in the ground and spiders in the sky." Edmund looked at the snowy field from a distance: "It seems like a peaceful world of snow, but are all the insects hiding in the sky and the earth..."
"Spiders are not insects, they are Arachnids of the phylum Arthropods." Bailey suddenly interjected.
"Oh, of course." Blood Lion shrugged sheepishly: "So, that Snow too...?"
"A ball of spider silk with trace amounts of toxicity." Elaine replied: "If you touch it, your body will gradually become paralyzed."
"This maze is vicious enough." Edmund complained: "So, do you want to go there with an umbrella?"
"Iron, the protective cover of the iron cavalry can block that fake snow. Anyway, in short, we keep a distance from the ground and the clouds on the ceiling, and just move slowly."
Different from the step-by-step strategy required for the previous two levels of maze, the strategy for this level is... a step-by-step strategy in another sense.
Fortunately, there are powerful vehicles like iron cavalry available. For the first time, Elaine felt the benefits brought by human technology, making it possible to pass through areas that were almost impossible to pass safely.
"But in this case, it seems that nothing will happen to me." Edmund thought: "Just in case, I will still drink the blood sample of the feathered snake and be ready to transform into the feathered snake in the back seat at any time. That will do
?"
"Of course." Elaine had no objection. He had never seen a big boss on this level before, because when he tried to cross the snow world before, he was always defeated halfway, and the luckiest one was just barely escaping.
Just the day of birth.
The situation on this level should be very similar to the ice world on the previous level. Sneaking and escaping alone are not enough to lure out the big boss of this world. But if there is a conflict with the monsters living here, killing them is enough.
After gathering a certain amount of monsters, their big boss will appear.
Since it is the defense system of Atlantis, it must operate according to this logic.
It would be better if the two iron cavalry can cross this area quietly. If not, some violent means will be needed to force a breakthrough in the end. At that time, Edmund, who can use the power of the Ice Feathered Serpent King, will come in handy.
Elaine fastened her seat belt, also fastened the seat belt of Bailey in the back seat, and then activated the cavalry's concealment system.
"Yes, yes, this is for you." He stuffed a toy gun into Bailey's hand.
"A toy?" The little fox happily took the gun. After all, its shape was very cool, even though it was a toy.
"This, this can fire elastic foam bombs. When it hits any object, it will make a "squeak" sound, which can attract the enemy's attention." Elaine said: "Yes, can I ask you to help me?"
"Of course, hehe~" Bailey held the toy gun and glanced left and right happily.
In fact, this toy gun is not strictly a toy, but something modified from the "sticky bullet gun" Seifer gave Elaine. The elastic foam bullets fired can be switched to high-viscosity sticky bullets to hinder the enemy.
action.
However, it would be troublesome if Bailey used the sticky gun to cause trouble. Elaine decided not to let the little fox touch the real sticky gun first. If this kid used sticky bombs to prank people or hit the iron cavalry, it would be everywhere.
The sticky bombs made them sticky and very troublesome to clean up. In comparison, the elastic foam bombs, which were neither lethal nor harmful, seemed more suitable for Bailey to play with.
And the sticky gun will not play any role in this snowy world. The cold will make the sticky bomb brittle and unable to exert its stickiness.
squeak~
Before Elaine even stepped on the accelerator to let the cavalry take off, she was hit by a foam bullet in the back of her head.
"You, what are you doing?" A drop of sweat broke out on Elaine's forehead.
"Hehehe, I can't help but want to tease big brother." The little fox grinned.
"Stop it, you, you little fool..."
"Why are you so serious, big brother, you big idiot." Bailey and Elaine joked.
Elaine didn't say anything else (although she wanted to punch Bailey a little bit, but she held it back), and activated the iron cavalry to make it float into the air.
"Hit, turn on the concealment system and protective shield, and proceed carefully." He said to Queeg.
"Okay." Leopard also activated his iron cavalry, letting his and Edmund's iron cavalry follow Elaine's iron cavalry.
The two iron cavalry left the stairwell at the entrance of the third underground floor and entered the world of snow.
The surroundings were not as cold as expected. The falling stuff was indeed not snow, but just lobes of spider silk disguised as snow.
In this way, the snow on the ground may not be real snow, but a collection of lobes of spider silk. But they absorb the cold radiation from the surface, are very cold, and are toxic to paralyze the body, and
It is lighter and stickier than ordinary snow. That is why the snow covers the entire ground so thickly, covering all the dangerous spikes and deadly rock fissures.
Is everything the fault of the cloud spiders hanging on the ceiling...
Elaine wanted to burn down the cloud-like spider nest. Considering the possible impact, he did not do it. Spider silk is afraid of fire and will ignite when exposed to fire. If the entire third underground floor burned down,
, no joke.
But this fake snow is really annoying...
The cavalry's stealth system can deflect the optical image, allowing others to see the cavalry as a transparent "air bubble" from a distance. At the same time, the stealth system will also use sound waves with exactly the opposite amplitude to offset the cavalry's engine sound, allowing the cavalry to
The engine makes almost no sound. This is the principle of most stealth systems and stealth spells.
But the fake snow will fall on the protective cover of the cavalry, causing deflection, and then exposing the cavalry. The bigger the snow falls, the more conspicuous the unnaturally transparent "air bubble" will be in the sky.
Elaine only hopes that this "air bubble" will not be seen so soon...
However, whether it is a worm hiding in the snow or a spider hiding in the clouds, they are all half-blind, and there are too many things that hinder their vision.
So how do these half-blind guys search for their enemies?
The answer is, [shock].
In the past, Elaine used a boat to travel on the snow, and the vibrations disturbed the pale worms in the snow. Then those maggot-like monsters, which were like enlarged versions of the corpses, began to pour out of the snow in one breath.
Attacking Elaine. These huge worms are as thick and long as human arms. The suckers on their heads are full of fangs and can easily devour human flesh and blood. They are very terrifying. If you are attacked by these guys, you will be dead, and they are all ambushed under the snow.
This kind of monster. Elaine suspected that there were more such worms hidden in the deep valleys in the snow. He had lost consciousness from the cold as soon as he fell into the deep valley before. Fortunately, he had never seen his body being destroyed by millions of people.
The tragedy of being eaten by worms.
The monsters in the sky that Elaine calls "cloud spiders" without permission have the same principle of searching for enemies. The balls of spider silk they throw down from the sky will make a faint sound when they hit something.
Sound waves similar to infrasonic waves can be detected by these monsters. Therefore, if you fly in the air relatively close to the clouds and touch the fake snow, the army of cloud spiders will attack at once. Thousands of them.
Spiders poured out of those white cloud-like spider nests, protruding violently poisonous spider silk towards the target. The scene was quite scary and spectacular. When Elaine used the transformation of a white dragon to try to cross the snow world, she was caught by clouds in the air.
Defeated by a swarm of spiders. Not even dragon scales can protect against the poison of cloud spiders. The venom can easily penetrate into the gaps of the scales and then cause a general anesthesia. If the body cannot move, there is only death waiting for the intruders.
.
So Elaine now lets the two iron cavalry fly about ten yards from the ground. This distance is a height that the pale worms cannot reach, no matter how hard they try to fly out of the snow. Similarly, this distance is also a low altitude that the cloud spiders cannot reach.
, this is hundreds of yards away from the cloud-like spider nest on the ceiling.
It would be better if he could maintain this state and pass through this area quietly. But as the two iron cavalry gradually penetrated into this snow world, Elaine gradually felt that something was wrong.
Everything is too quiet.
It shouldn't be so quiet.
Although the pale worm in the snow cannot jump so high, it should at least have noticed the presence of the two iron cavalry. It is time to pounce out and attack Elaine and the others. Even if it is a futile attempt, these monsters should give it a try.
.
But no. The pale worms are still dormant in the snow, not moving at all. The fake snow is still falling in the sky, but the cloud spiders are still dormant in the clouds, not moving at all.
It was so quiet. It was scary. It was as if the monsters were completely unaware of the existence of the two cavalry.
But Elaine knows that this is impossible. He has always been unlucky, and there are always twists and turns in trying to accomplish something, so things cannot progress so smoothly.
A more reasonable explanation is that there is something more powerful, ordering those little monsters to continue to wait and see and not to attack rashly. The powerful guy who is controlling those little monsters from behind has now noticed Elaine and his party.
And they are waiting for an opportunity to attack at any time.
So, why doesn't it attack?
Is it the intention to let the two iron cavalry penetrate deeper into this snowy world and reach a position with no way to escape before launching an attack in one go?
This is probably the only explanation that is the most reasonable.
If Elaine's guess is true, then the next attack is most likely to come from below.
——For example, a super giant pale worm suddenly jumped out of the snow, or something.
"Quig, raise the altitude of the cavalry and fly thirty yards above the ground." Elaine whispered: "Come on, put your foot on the accelerator and your hand on the concealment device."
The switch is on. Ready to turn off the stealth and speed away at any time."
"Understood," Queeg replied.
"As soon as there is any movement in the snow, you will immediately speed up and run away." Elaine added.
"Okay." Leopard kept answering very briefly, not sure if he really understood Elaine's intention.
Elaine not only had to think of ways to protect herself, but she also had to worry about the situation on Queeg's side, which made her nervous. At this time, he had already begun to have a stomachache.
"Brother, relax, it's okay." Bailey behind him said, while holding Elaine's waist, he also rubbed Elaine's belly.
"Hey, hey, don't touch me."
"This will make you relax, hehe~" Bailey ignored Elaine's complaints and continued to rub Elaine's belly.
(This brat...)
(But...it seems really comfortable?)
Because he felt quite comfortable, Elaine did not stop Bailey. Thanks to Bailey's "hands-off", Elaine calmed down instead. Then he found that the cavalry had stopped because he had forgotten to step on the accelerator just now. Because the cavalry stopped
, he also felt a slight vibration in the atmosphere.
Oh, of course. If a giant creature really planned to jump out of the snow, it would cause vibrations anyway. The sound of the iron cavalry engine running caused Elaine not to notice the vibrations, but he can now.
"Spread out, spread out!" Elaine stepped on the accelerator and suddenly accelerated. Upon seeing this, Queeg also accelerated and fled.
boom!!--
Over thirty feet long, the giant pale worm jumped out of the snow with great force!
But it missed the mark and was left behind by Elaine and others.
"Bailey, catch me, hold me steady!" Elaine shouted, turning off the concealment system and slamming on the accelerator, letting the cavalry fly forward at full speed!
