The vegetable soup and grilled fish at noon were both very good.
The vegetable soup is stewed with mushrooms, corn and various spices. It is filled with an intoxicating aroma even before it is put into your mouth.
The grilled fish is also very well made. The fish is carefully cut from the piranha, deboned and scaled. Then it is coated with olive oil and slowly roasted next to the campfire until the fish fillets are cooked and curled. Sprinkle with sea salt and
After the pepper, the fish meat is so fragrant that it makes your mouth water.
Queeg also makes fried fish nuggets. Basically, the fish meat is cut into cubes and lightly fried in oil. Then the oil is removed and seasoned with mint leaves, lemon and sea salt. This makes the fish nuggets not greasy at all, but rich.
Fresh feeling.
After eating this exquisite and sumptuous lunch, Daniel felt fuller than ever before, but he also felt ashamed. Because he had promised to help, but it seemed that he didn't help at all, and two meals were in vain...
…
In this case, the fifth underground level of Atlantis also needs to be refueled. We can't just go back in vain.
"What kind of maze is on the next floor?" Daniel asked curiously.
"You, you still want to follow?" Elaine wondered: "Yes, you will die."
"My own life is in my own hands." The young Silver Knight replied, "Anyway, let me help you again."
"You, you like it." Elaine wondered: "But, even I haven't managed to get through to the fifth underground floor."
Daniel made a serious face: "Is it so difficult?"
"Yes, there are many unreasonable environmental crises." Elaine replied.
"Environmental...crisis?"
"You, you will understand it when you see it with your own eyes." The white lion boy said quietly: "You, you should have a strong ability to heal yourself, right?"
"It's okay." Daniel didn't deny it. The Dark Green Knight's self-healing ability is comparable to that of a succubus. As long as the so-called "environmental crisis" doesn't kill him instantly, he can heal himself to some extent.
"So...are you going now?" Daniel put down his empty rice bowl.
"Wait, let's wait until Bailey recovers." Elaine looked at the little fox who was eating lunch slowly.
"Huh?" Bailey got up and said, "I'm fine. Look, I'm so energetic."
"You, are you really not tired? You obviously fell down before..."
"It's okay! Completely resurrected!" Bailey said with a smile, trying to look lively.
(This kid is trying to be brave.)
Elaine sighed.
But of course, he couldn't leave Bailey alone in the camp. He could only take the kid with him.
He turned to look at Edmund again. The blood lion was still angry and refused to be released. Then Queeg was feeding Edmund lunch, which he had almost finished.
"Well..." Edmund blushed.
"What, what's wrong?"
"I want...to go to the bathroom." Edmund's face turned redder. This guy hadn't been to the bathroom since he got up this morning, so he was naturally suffocated.
"So, wouldn't it be nice to loosen your ties?" Elaine wondered: "Should you, shouldn't you have to be tied up all the time, and we have to take care of your life?"
Edmund was silent for a while longer.
"But I don't want to endanger you, Your Highness." Edmund said quietly, "I gave you the remote control for my heart bomb before, and you broke it again."
"No, don't mention that again." Elaine's face was livid.
Edmund remained silent.
"Okay..." Then his attitude finally softened: "Please untie me."
"Your conversation is so weird." Daniel couldn't help complaining: "If someone who doesn't know hears it, they will think you are acting."
"Ha, hahaha..." Elaine smiled bitterly and went to untie the blood lion Edmund. It turned out that the soft rope made of Luna silicone was extremely flexible and difficult to untie. It took a long time and Elaine was struggling.
The power of the tiger was finally released.
"You, why do you use this kind of rope..." He complained to Queeg.
"For safety reasons." Leopard tilted his head.
Indeed, if Edmund is tied up with something like this, he will never be able to untie it unless someone untie him. The ability to transform may be able to break free from the shackles of ordinary ropes, but the flexibility and ductility of Luna Silicone are
It's crazy. Maybe after the transformation, Edmund will still be tied up tightly... or rather tied up even more tightly. And now Edmund can only transform into a human woman (Lord Danglars)
With his appearance, transformation cannot make him stronger, but will make him weaker.
In short, Elaine untied Edmund.
The Blood Lion stood up, still keeping a distance from Elaine, and walked toward the back of the building on the side.
"You, where are you going?"
"Toilet."
"Oh, right..." Elaine almost forgot about it. Edmund probably had reached the limit, so he left immediately without saying anything to Elaine.
"Shall we also prepare?" Daniel said: "The environmental crisis you mentioned, what exactly do we need to prepare to deal with it?"
"Well... you, you'll know when you get there." Elaine took out a bag of powdery stuff from his trouser pocket: "No, but you can use this frozen rosin and rub it on the enchanted armor to lower yourself.
, cooling down."
"Cooling? Shouldn't it be warming?" Daniel asked considering that Atlantis should be a very cold place.
"Cool down. The next level is very, very hot." The white lion boy said: "It's like a world of steam."
"Steam..." Daniel showed an incredulous expression.
No, he expected it.
Because when he was on the fourth underground floor, he vaguely felt heat coming from the ground. At that time, he had a premonition that the fifth underground floor might be very hot, but now his ominous premonition has come true.
The world of steam? No wonder it is said to be an "environmental crisis". There is deadly hot steam everywhere, and you will be scalded if you are not careful. It is enough of an "environmental crisis".
Daniel has a strong self-healing ability, and his skin will recover quickly if he is burned. However, the pain will remain for a longer period of time, because it is nerve damage, and nerve damage takes more time to repair. If it continues
If you are burned by steam, you will eventually be in so much pain that you will be unable to move due to "phantom pain".
...What a terrible "environmental crisis".
The group of people passed through the portal and arrived at the stairwell. Walking a little further forward was the fifth floor of the Atlantis underground maze.
Just from the stairs, I felt a rush of heat. Daniel began to apply the frozen rosin on the armor.
"Apply it evenly, and then tap it to activate it," Elaine said.
Daniel nodded and followed the instructions. The Silver Knight armor he was wearing was actually not a standard full-body armor. The complete armor was inconvenient for movement, so he removed most of it, leaving only a light-armor breastplate.
and shoulder armor, as well as very thin leggings and arm guards. However, these armors are well-enchanted and only need to protect the limbs and internal organs so that he can continue to fight.
While he was applying rosin to the armor, he also saw Elaine coating a piece of cloth with the stuff and wrapping it around Bailey's body to protect himself from the heat. Elaine didn't seem to provide much protection for herself. He didn't know whether it was out of self-confidence or whether
Too stupid.
The heat became even more powerful. The next level was indeed a world of steam. But Daniel only felt heat, not moisture. He didn't know where the moisture in the steam had gone.
The door to the fifth underground floor was opened.
Then a scorching, or rather sultry, world appeared before everyone's eyes.
The "steam world" Elaine said is actually inappropriate. What is "diffuse" there is not water vapor, nor is it the steam column ejected from some tubular buildings.
That's... glowing smoke? Clouds? It's hard to describe, at least not simply with Daniel's vocabulary.
Several thin cloud-like objects that glow with ice blue light and orange light are solidified in the sky. This kind of luminous clouds are spread all over the world, connected like the veins of trees, extending everywhere, covering floors, walls and
ceiling, all connected intermittently in some form.
Although they look very scary and dangerous, the scene is also quite spectacular.
"Coral," Bailey said suddenly.
"Wha, what?"
"Coral. It's just like coral." The little fox repeated: "Steam coral that conducts heat energy, no, air coral?"
It's really an apt name.
Daniel looked at the dark rock-like underground. Those "air corals" emerged from the ground. It seemed to be to extract the high heat from deeper underground and conduct it to other places.
In other words, the deeper places below are even hotter. God knows what is hidden in the deepest part of Atlantis.
No, actually Daniel knew. What was sealed in the deepest part was the [Heart of Disaster], that star-destroying monster.
But, God knows how terrifying that thing is? The heat flows out of it? Or is this just the heat of Atlantis's main power furnace, and the Heart of Disaster is a more terrifying existence than it?
"I, let's go," Elaine announced: "Be careful, don't, don't touch those air corals. You will get burned."
Without his reminding, everyone knows how hot that thing is. You can feel the scorching heat just by getting close to it. And the so-called air corals will float slightly with the air and are not fixed in the air, so they
Extremely dangerous. Imagine the sky is full of murder traps that can roast people with just a touch, and these things are constantly moving!
Different from the style of Warrior Tombs where murder traps are deliberately placed throughout the maze, the Underground City of Atlantis is full of natural death traps. Just by using the cold and heat to the extreme, you can easily
Put people to death.
Moreover, these death traps do not seem to exist specifically to deal with intruders. The existence of the high-heat "corals" here seems to have another purpose. Is it to conduct heat? Or to transfer energy?
Isn’t this natural design that integrates functionality and defense into a higher level than the traps in the Warriors Tomb?
Daniel knocked his head involuntarily. He admired the murder traps left by the ancients. What did he want to do?
"Is it really possible to travel through the past, such a desperate situation?" Edmund hummed, seeming to be looking for blood samples that could be used. However, all of his Warcraft-type transformations are relatively large, and they are not suitable in this steam world.
Good for action, right?
He seemed to be aware of this as he took out an emerald green blood sample and drank it.
Edmund turned himself into a mermaid... No, a fish-man? Not right... In short, it was a humanoid creature in the shape of a fish, but not the "mermaid" in Iceland whose upper body is a woman and the lower body is a fish tail.
In fact, this fish-shaped humanoid creature is a bit ugly. Even its face is that of a fish, and its whole body is covered with scales and thorns, which is very weird.
"What, what is this?" Elaine asked curiously.
"Monsters that live on the polar seaside," Edmund replied in a particularly low voice: "Vikings occasionally hunted such monsters, but they are quite difficult to hunt. The Vikings seemed to call them [Dive Hunters].
)]. They can use ice spells, I think this will come in handy."
"Okay, okay. I'll leave it to you to open the way." Elaine frowned, always feeling that this monster called a stalker was filled with an ominous aura...I always felt like I had seen these things somewhere before.
"Then," Edmund, who can use ice spells, walked ahead, releasing an ice mist that could cool the atmosphere as he walked.
Elaine followed closely behind. Daniel drove an iron cavalry, and Quigg and Bailey drove another iron cavalry, following behind. This group of people entered the fifth floor of the Atlantis underground maze.
