Chapter 3362 The Trial of the Great Fool (165)
Elaine had never had the chance to see what prominence shrimps looked like before. Now that he took a closer look, these beasts were indeed shrimps. But they were extremely vicious-looking, with two slender front pincers, and were fiery red.
Big lobster (in Elaine's eyes it is grayish-red, but it should actually be a bright fiery red).
Estimating the body length from their heads, each of them is about the size of a mule. It is amazing that such a large creature can move so fast in the lava, as fast as a blinding tongue of fire.
Moreover, these ferocious monsters also look very... delicious?
Because their shells are red, these guys are like seafood sashimi that has been cooked in a lava pool. It feels like you can eat it by removing the head, and it is crunchy.
"Here, are these things edible?" Elaine asked curiously.
"They are edible, and they are said to be very delicious. However, they are also very difficult to catch. Most Yat people will never see a shadow of them in their lives. We are actually very lucky to be able to observe Holland shrimp like this." Hayato boy
The introduction said: "It is said that only extremely skilled shrimpers can catch the Hollander shrimp. You have to go through a desperate struggle to catch it...or bring back its broken body."
"Then, isn't their meat very precious?"
"Of course it's precious. It's worth hundreds of pieces of fabric. The people of Ate can catch a Hollander shrimp probably every few decades. Once they succeed, they will be as happy as if they were celebrating a festival." Zuo Li wiped it with his hands subconsciously.
Wiping the corner of his mouth: "I have never had the chance to see them eating this kind of thing in my life...I have never eaten it myself. But their meat must be very delicious, hehe."
Elaine suddenly felt hungry. The originally dangerous escape scene was completely aroused by her appetite, which made her feel less nervous.
Can you catch one of these monsters and ask Bailey to help cook it? Elaine, who had long since given up on eating, suddenly had some hope.
However, the prominence shrimps dived into the water one by one and seemed to have no intention of continuing to attack. Maybe they did not dare to damage the water circulation system, or maybe they just simply hated the water vapor that filled the area.
"It actually ran away." Xuli even showed a regretful expression: "I thought I could take advantage of the location and catch at least one to eat."
"No, no matter what. Rest here, rest for a while and then hit the road." Elaine found a slightly cooler place to sit down, and took advantage of the situation to apply a small amount of frozen rosin on the weapon to "cool" herself. Anyway, the cavalry's engine
They can't leave without cooling down. Before the invisibility of the cavalry cools down, people can't fall down from heatstroke first.
Bailey also came over to enjoy the coolness. At this time, everyone was sweating profusely, as if the moisture in their bodies had been forcibly squeezed out by the heat of the lava. Edmund even squeezed some non-potable water directly from the silicone cube and poured it on himself
physically.
The moisture inside Luna Silica Gel is stored in a subspace-like structure. It will not be affected by the temperature in the real world, and the water inside is naturally cooler. Directly pouring it on the body will have a good cooling effect... If
Don't care about the words that were their bath water.
"Brother, I'm a little sleepy." Bailey rubbed his eyes and said lazily, "Can you take a nap?"
"Can you remove the illusion as well?" Elaine asked in a low voice.
"Is it okay?" the little fox asked back.
"For now, it looks safe for now." Elaine thought for a moment: "No, I'll wake you up when it's not safe."
"Hehe, okay." Bailey smiled and lifted the illusion. They changed back to their original appearance again.
At this time, Elaine took a special look at the lava pool. He was very sure that the prominence lobsters did not appear, or even emerged from the lava pool. There was a high probability that they would not attack.
But even if they attack, it doesn't matter.
This location is advantageous. Elaine no longer has to worry about enemies jumping out from somewhere in the lava pool to attack. There is also a protective wall behind him - a thick wall beside the large pool of the water circulation system. This wall rises from the ground and is at least three feet high.
The thickness is difficult to measure. It is an excellent bunker for Elaine and others.
The White Lion boy not only planned to rest in this place, but also planned to set up a defensive line on the spot.
Place two iron cavalry sideways together, and their strong armor can become the best cover.
The cavalry's machine cannon can also be rotated and used, and even children can simply operate it to shoot down enemies who want to attack.
Then Edmund and Elaine guarded both sides, attacking with ice arrows and defending with large shields. This way they could resist for a while.
Even if a big lobster as big as a mule suddenly collides with it, Elaine can use Mysterdin to block the enemy. The weapon is very special and can absorb all impacts. It can also block the impact of the enemy, no matter how big they are.
.
Although it was not perfect, Elaine still deployed a relatively comprehensive defense lineup to guard against possible attacks.
Despite this, those prominence shrimps never attacked. Elaine started to feel a little sleepy.
"They won't come..." Xuli complained.
"No, it's better not to come. Wait, wait until our cavalry engine has finished cooling down, and then escape from here." Elaine hummed. He wanted to avoid meaningless battles anyway.
"Your Highness, please take a rest. Mr. Quigg and I will take care of things here." Edmund said, "Can the cannon of this cavalry be set to automatic firing mode?"
"I, I remember it's okay." Elaine hadn't messed with the system of the Iron Cavalry much, but he seemed to have occasionally seen that the cannon could be set up like this.
It is the mode that uses the camera on the cannon to search for enemies and automatically fires when it finds the enemy. Because this is a high-end iron cavalry specially customized by King Clotier, and the systems inside are the most advanced in the world.
Naturally, there is such a degree of humanized design... In other words, King Clotier does not understand combat at all, and his shooting ability is probably very poor. He must have imagined that he would need to use the automatic shooting of his cavalry to cover himself in this situation.
Bar.
So Queeg looked for the so-called automatic shooting system on the control panel of the cavalry. The ancients four thousand years ago were tinkering with today's most advanced equipment. The scene was really unsightly. Elaine sighed and started tinkering too, and
He was quite lucky and found it within a short time of searching.
"Look, look, it's right here." After Elaine set up his cavalry, he went over to help Queeg set it up.
"I understand. You are so smart." Queeg praised.
"Fuck me, even if you flatter me, I won't give you a good look." Elaine said with a straight face.
Queeg stuck out his tongue.
The automatic cannons of the two cavalry were all on line. They were slowly moving the turrets left and right, searching for any possible targets. Elaine placed the cavalry horizontally in a place like this and fired the automatic cannon. He really regarded this place as a temporary
The battlefield bunker is used. The camera on the cannon may be more reliable than Elaine's eyes. The eyes will not be able to see clearly because the light of the lava is too dazzling, but the camera will not make such mistakes. It detects
It is an object that suddenly moves at high speed.
Edmund also used ice spells to pull out two large pieces of ice from the pool filled with sea water, and blocked the sides of the bunker that the cavalry could not defend. The ice blocks not only provided a certain amount of defense, but also continuously released cold air.
Let everyone feel cool.
Now we only need to wait until the engine of the cavalry has completely cooled down. The next thing will be considered later. Maybe the engine of the cavalry cools down again. After they leave this water circulation system, the battle will start again and the same scene will be staged again.
A tense battle royale.
Elaine sat down to rest next to the cavalry, thinking about how to deal with the speed of the prominence shrimp. They jumped out of the lava at a high speed that Elaine could hardly react, and flew towards them. It was really dangerous. They were all around.
Under the terrain of the lava pool, Elaine and his party had no chance of winning. Just now, they relied on the iron cavalry to travel at full speed to barely avoid being overtaken by the prominence shrimps. They only had to guard against the breath that might appear behind them. But if these monsters
If you are smart, why don't you go around and ambush Elaine and others on the way forward?
The moves that this lion-man boy can use are really limited, and he can't cope with that level of siege and surprise attack. It would be great if there was a better way. Sure enough, he can only transform into a human form to tide over the difficulties...
"By the way, where did this water come from?" Elaine suddenly remembered something and asked Zuoli.
"As I said, the seawater being pumped in is brought in from the outside world. The purified pure water is sent to various parts of the city through these pipes."
"Sea, sea water..." Elaine thought for a while, and her eyes fell on the huge metal pipe on the left. It is this pipe that leads a large amount of sea water in from the outside world and then pours it into the pool. The pool here is just
The seawater in the storage tank flows through another pipe into a huge device like a still next to it, where it receives the high heat of the lava and turns into steam, which evaporates and rises. Then, after evaporation, the water is cooled again at the top of the still.
The water is pure water, and it will be extracted and transported to other places in Atlantis through other pipes.
Although the size of the distiller is very huge, it is difficult to imagine that this mere distiller can provide the fresh water needs of the entire city of Atlantis. Just the fresh water contained in the "Water World" on the first underground floor is not
Maybe it's what this distiller can provide. - Why does Elaine know that the first layer underground in Atlantis is fresh water? Of course it's because those piranhas are freshwater fish, and they can't survive in salt water.
In other words, it is very likely that there are several such giant stills in this lava world. Maybe Elaine and the others can use iron cavalry to rush at full speed from one "water circulation system" to another. There will definitely be a period of time.
You will still be attacked by the prominence shrimps, but as long as the cavalry is fast enough, you can get through it.
The problem is, this is purely a gamble. No one knows where the next "water circulation system" is, and whether they can get there before the cavalry's engine overheats. Any miscalculation may lead to their failure and total destruction.
.
Although they can also rely on Bailey's illusion to temporarily deceive the prominence shrimps, no one knows how long the illusion will be effective. No matter how stupid the Warcraft are, they cannot always be deceived, and their true identities will eventually be revealed.
exposed.
There are too many uncertainties. Do you really want to bet? Relying on Leo, the prototype of the white lion's transformation, and his innate luck, to bet on this bet?
Elaine felt a stomachache.
"I have a question that I don't know whether I should ask." Edmund suddenly said: "Didn't you feel strange from just now? Why are those prominence shrimps able to see us under the lava, lock on us accurately, and launch
Attack?"
"It, their eyesight is very good?" Elaine replied with half doubt.
"No matter how good their eyesight is, they can't see us walking far away on the lava pool through the glowing lava." Edmund said, "Are they...really looking at us?"
"You, what do you want to say?" Elaine became more and more confused.
"I guess they didn't look at all. They can lock our position without looking. Something else is telling them all this." The blood lion concluded: "That's why they jumped out of the lava and attacked without hesitation.
, and the attack is so accurate."
He looked up at the rocks on the ceiling: "Who is watching us up here."
