Chapter 3405 The collapse of the starry sky (31)
After getting rid of the ambush and pursuers, Elaine and Xuri finally reached the stairwell connecting the seventh and eighth underground floors.
The teleportation device that Elaine and his team set up here is still intact and has not been damaged by the group of stalkers. It should be said that it has not even been touched, as if the stalkers are afraid of these unknown things.
Elaine began to fiddle with the teleportation device, preparing to escape from the underground maze. Of course, he was fiddling with it with his back to Xuri, just because he didn't want Hayato to know how to use the teleportation device. Xuri actually taught it on his own without any guidance.
Knowing how to use the cavalry's cannon, this guy is really smart. But after he did this, Elaine became more wary of Xuri. Fortunately, the teleportation device was much more complicated than the cavalry's system, and Elaine was confident not to let it go.
Xuri easily learned how to use it.
In the worst case scenario, he can also put a fingerprint lock on the transmission system, so that only he and other users whose fingerprints have been logged in can use the transmission device. Among these logged-in users, Xuri will definitely not be included.
This guy.
"He, they haven't touched the transmission device?" After almost setting it up, Elaine asked by the way: "You, you didn't tell them about the existence of this thing?"
"No. They know. But they sneer at this so-called teleportation device." Zuoli said: "People in Art think that they can go to the surface by just using an elevator. There is no need to use such backward gadgets to reach the surface."
It's outrageous to say that the transmission device is backward. The person who originally invented this device would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood if he heard that his invention was ridiculed by a group of primitive people as a "backward gadget".
In any case, the stalkers were wary and indifferent to the teleportation device, which was a great help. Elaine thought those savage half-mermaids would destroy the teleportation device and cause trouble for Elaine and his party.
The portal was opened, and Elaine waved to Zuori, indicating that Hayato should be allowed to go in first.
"Okay." Zuoli knew that he was being monitored by Elaine the whole time, so he did not resist and walked slowly into the portal.
Elaine followed and also entered the door. They were instantly teleported to the surface of Atlantis, the deserted city.
This location is a short distance away from the camp, because Elaine has already moved the camp. And the camp is also very secluded. Elaine even asked Bailey and Edmund to hide.
It should be safe once we get here...right?
After all, all the elevator rooms are sealed, and the stalkers don't know how to use teleportation devices. They can't simply reach the surface. The only way to get here is to send an expedition team to trek a long way through the first to fifth underground floors.
of maze.
The monsters in the maze still exist and will attack people; the maze itself is also full of death traps. The larger the troops enter these layers of the maze, the greater the sacrifices will be caused. Assuming that the stalkers really send out large troops
Come to attack the surface. When they arrive here, they must have suffered heavy casualties and are exhausted.
And... the sky is gradually getting brighter. The polar daylight phenomenon in polar spring is gradually becoming apparent. Around three o'clock in the morning, the sky begins to turn white. Stalkers are allergic to sunlight and should not be able to move in this sunlight. In other words, Elaine and the others
As long as you stay on the surface during the day, you don't have to worry about being attacked for the time being.
"Actually, you're quite scary." Before he could move, Xuli suddenly said.
"ha?"
"You are quite scary." Hayato boy repeated: "I watched the battle twice from a distance, watching you fight with three of the Seven Warriors. They tried their best, but you still had reservations. You guy
The power is bottomless. In fact, even if the seven warriors attack you together, you will not lose, right?"
"Talent, I don't know how."
"You are indeed the destroyer predicted by the witch, the one who brought Atlantis to an end with a silent cry. But I just don't understand why a meek guy like you who doesn't even want to kill his enemies would take action.
Destroy Atlantis?"
"I, I said I have no intention of destroying this place." Elaine wondered.
"You don't plan to do this now, but fate will eventually let you make a choice."
Elaine shook his head and said nothing more. He just didn't want to discuss this matter with Xury.
"Every time when a critical issue comes up, do you choose to escape?" Young Hayato saw through Elaine's thoughts: "You can still escape now. But one day you have to face it, and then there will be nowhere to escape.
."
"You, you guy." Elaine couldn't help but said angrily: "You, didn't you say I'm scary? Then why do you keep irritating me?"
"You are scary, but I am not afraid of you. As long as it is related to the success or failure of Miko-sama's plan, I will still say what needs to be said."
Elaine frowned: "Okay, okay, you go ahead and flatter the miko-sama, you flatterer! Anyway, the miko-sama you are talking about is actually sleeping all the time, and the ball of light that is talking is actually hers.
It’s just a clone! You, you just like something like artificial intelligence, idiot!"
"I know." Xuli was surprisingly calm.
"Huh?!" Elaine was very surprised.
"I know." Xuri repeated: "I have known for a long time that the miko is sleeping in the crystal and only wakes up for a few seconds every thousand years. This is the only way to resist [the deterioration of the soul]. She has no other choice.
."
"So, why did you..."
"It's the same. The one who saved me was also the clone of Lady Miko. Her clone represents her will, and they are all the same. I have long vowed to repay Lady Lisanna and help her fulfill her long-cherished wish. No matter where she is.
Whether it is her clone or her true body, what I want to do has not changed."
So he knew that what he was chasing was a phantom, but he still chased it. It was really stupid. The miko-sama he loved was a crystal statue that could only be viewed from a distance but could not be approached. Even though he knew this, he still chased her.
"Ah, you are here?" While the two were talking, Queeg actually drove over on his iron cavalry: "Witch, we have been sent to the ship. Do you want to go and see it?"
"Ma, please make another trip and send this guy over." Elaine pointed at Zuoli: "Shun, let's treat his injury by the way."
"Understood. Come up." Queeg stretched out his hand to Xury.
"I can climb on my own." Xuli jumped on the iron horse.
"You, after you visit the miko, just stay on the ship." Elaine hummed: "For example, if you don't want to be involved in the danger here, don't follow me!"
"I will decide what to do myself. You don't need to teach me." Xury stuck out his tongue and followed Queeg.
"Smelly, stinky boy..." The white lion boy frowned dissatisfied.
"Hey hey hey." Someone behind him chuckled. Elaine turned around and saw that it was Bailey: "Your relationship is so good."
"That's not good." Elaine pouted and said, "Well, that guy has a bad temper, is vicious, and likes to irritate me."
"So you guys have a good relationship, hehehe." Bailey still said with a smile.
Elaine shook her head angrily, touched the little fox's head and said, "Hey, where's Edmund?"
"Uncle Edmund was asleep. I heard that you guys were back, so I came to greet you."
Elaine originally wanted to scold Bailey a little, so that the little fox would not let up easily. However, the sky was indeed getting brighter at this time, and the threat of the stalkers should have slowed down a little. So he did not really scold him, but was gentle.
He patted Bailey's head.
"Yes, do you want to sleep for a while?" He asked: "You, you haven't slept all night, right? This, this is not good for your body's growth."
"If I'm sleepy, I only need to sleep for a few minutes to fully regain my energy. But okay, big brother is right, the mind will be refreshed but the body will still be tired, so it's better to take a nap. Big brother goes to bed, and I will
Go to sleep, hehe~"
"I really can't do anything to you. Then, after I check Edmund's injuries, I'll go to the tent with you and take a nap."
"Okay~" Bailey wagged his tail and walked with Elaine.
Elaine suppressed her laughter and walked to the second floor of the house next to the camp to check on Edmund, who was hidden in the ice wall inside the house. The blood lion seemed to be sleeping soundly, with no fever or inflammation, and his injuries were getting better. Except for Elaine's treatment
In addition to the almost perfect operation, Queeg had already used spells to treat Edmund, so this result was a matter of course.
Elaine hesitated to give Edmund another shot of antibiotics. Overuse of antibiotics is not a good thing.
"First, let's do this." Elaine then said, covering Edmund with a quilt and trying to make the patient feel as comfortable as possible. Then he moved the tent to the same room and prepared to sleep for a while.
But Queeg took Xury to the Leo ship and couldn't come back for a while. If Elaine also fell asleep, the entire camp would become unattended, which is quite worrying.
.Although it is true that stalkers will not move under daylight and come to attack the camp, but... God knows what other emergencies will happen?
At least there should be some traps, alarms and the like to take precautions.
Elaine thought of the seven years of camping and traveling with his father Boles in the wild. Boles taught him a lot of things, although most of the knowledge was copied from the database. In the dangerous wilderness
When camping, even if someone is watching the wind, it cannot guarantee 100% safety. Various rope alarms and traps are relied on to prevent the invasion of wild beasts.
Although Elaine does not have a suitable and long enough rope, he may be able to use ice spells to make do...
He surrounded the buildings around the camp with thin ice ropes made of ice blocks. The ropes were made as transparent and imperceptible as possible.
These ropes are actually hard. To be more precise, they are finger-sized ice pillars, and they break into pieces when touched. The barrier wrapped around them hardly strengthens the ice, only making it less durable.
Will dissolve. Because they break when touched, any intruder who doesn't notice their existence can easily break them accidentally, and then the broken ice ropes will fall to the ground, making a loud noise.
In short, the ice rope itself is a siren.
Elaine used this kind of rope to circle around the camp twice and felt good about himself. He deliberately did not use the communicator to inform Queeg about this, just to see what would happen if Queeg, who came back half an hour later, triggered these ropes.
Influence.
Relying on the meager sense of security provided by the alarm device, Elaine breathed a sigh of relief before climbing into the tent and preparing to take a nap.
"Hey hey hey." The little fox got into Elaine's arms and hugged the white lion boy: "Brother, your nerves are too tense. Relax and everything will be fine."
"Hey, I hope so." Elaine smiled bitterly. He didn't think the stalkers would let them go easily, but it was useless no matter how much he worried. It was better to recharge his batteries now. He lay in the tent
In the bed, under the embrace of the soft and warm little fox, he gradually became trapped. Before he knew it, he fell asleep.
