"This pit is so deep. What should we do next, go down directly via the suspension bridge?" Bediwell crouched in the shadow at the edge of the cave, looking at the shaky suspension bridges, and asked: "This is definitely a trap."
"It is indeed a trap." Arthur muttered. Walking on the suspension bridge is extremely dangerous. If you are attacked by the enemy on a suspension bridge where you can't guarantee your stability, it can almost be said to be a narrow escape. But hiding in this cave
The witch in the movie seems to be able to control quite a lot of animals. Not to mention wargs, she can even control things like death scorpions. If it is said that she can also control some flying creatures to attack intruders passing through the suspension bridge.
, Arthur would not find it strange at all. It is no joke to be attacked by flying creatures such as birds while walking on the suspension bridge.
But apart from the obvious trap of the suspension bridge, there is no other way to go down. Going along those complex and changeable rock walls? No, the rocks are too slippery. Unless you have special climbing tools, you can climb on hard rocks.
Cut out stone cracks that can be used to stand on, and install rock climbing nails that can be used to stand on. Otherwise, you will inevitably fall down during the rock climbing process. If you fall from this height, you will be shattered into pieces. Do not try randomly. Moreover, if you walk on the suspension bridge, you may be attacked by flying creatures.
If someone is attacked, it doesn’t mean that you won’t be attacked if you climb down the rock, right? The result is still the same dangerous.
"Want to help, Arthur?" Seeing that the King of Knights was still hesitating, Bedivere volunteered: "I can transform back into a human wolf and see if I can grab those rocks with my sharp claws and lower them bit by bit.
Let's go down. Just like I carried you into the warrior's tomb before, you can also hug my neck this time and go down with me. This will be safer than walking on the suspension bridge."
"No." Arthur thought for a moment: "You just use your own method to climb down the rock and stay on guard. I'll take the suspension bridge."
Arthur can be said to be a burden during the rock climbing in Bediville. His weight will make the human wolf's movements less flexible, and when he may be attacked by the enemy at any time, even if his movements are a little slow,
One second could be fatal. What's more, Bedivere's hands and feet were occupied during the climb. He had no way to fight back and could only flee all the way. If he reduced his flexibility, the situation would be even more unfavorable.
"Is that so...that's okay." Bedivere replied. He did not argue with Arthur, probably because the situation he thought of was almost the same as what Arthur thought. It also proved that he himself did not
Depending on how much margin you have, you can only choose the optimal solution.
The big white wolf suddenly transformed into a human wolf covered in muscles. Although his body had human outlines, it was more like a beast, with sharp teeth and claws all full of animal nature.
"Be safe, Arthur." Only his words were not full of animality. The strong man-wolf jumped out and grabbed the slippery rock wall in an instant.
Arthur's idea was generally correct. The current human wolf Bedivere only had one arm and one leg, and used his sharp claws to successfully fix himself on the rock wall, and he also freed up his hands and feet. This is how he
This is only possible with his own weight. If he carries the King of Knights on his back, plus the weight of Arthur (even if he is using the body of a teenager), plus the weight of various equipment on Arthur's body
, the situation will become different.
Bediwell, who can now rock climb and move flexibly on the rock wall, can at least support Arthur in an emergency, and the situation becomes that only Arthur walks on the suspension bridge, which greatly increases safety in all aspects.
Despite this, there are still many uncertain factors. The specifics can only be determined on the spot.
Arthur boldly took a step forward and stepped on the suspension bridge.
The old wooden bridge was fixed with thick hemp ropes, which gave it the appearance of a bridge. The wooden boards and thick hemp ropes had been stored in this cave for a long time, and gradually became infected with the moisture in the cave. It looked like
It's damp and moldy, and looks like it could break down at any time. Walking on this kind of suspension bridge is neither safe nor discreet. Even if Arthur stands on tiptoes, squats and moves slowly, his weight will still press down on his feet every time he takes a step.
The wooden planks rubbed against the hemp rope, making a strange creaking sound. Sneaking on this kind of suspension bridge was impossible. It was better to finish the road quickly and run to another foothold carved out of the rock ten yards away.
Go. But running fast has become impossible. When Arthur walks on the suspension bridge like this, it feels like it is about to collapse. If Arthur runs faster, maybe the entire suspension bridge will snap.
It broke into two pieces at once. Even if it continued, the damp and moldy old wooden boards under Arthur's feet seemed unable to support the weight of Arthur's single foot pressing on them when he ran at full strength. The worst case scenario was that the wooden boards under Arthur's feet
Suddenly it cracked, and Arthur fell from the bridge hole created by the broken plank into the bottomless abyss below.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a natural hazard. Arthur walked carefully, not only distributing the pressure of his legs evenly on the two wooden boards of the suspension bridge, but also holding on to the thick hemp ropes on both sides with his hands to borrow strength. He thought this
At least it can reduce the pressure on the wooden board under his feet. Arthur, who uses his hands and feet together and crosses the bridge in a weird posture of half squatting and half walking, actually doesn't even have the strength to free his hands to fight the enemy. If the enemy is attacked from the air at this time,
Attack, the situation is probably very bad.
At that time, he had to rely on the support of Bedivere. Arthur only hoped that the stupid wolf could help him lure away the enemy, at least until Arthur reached the rock platform in front. Arthur, who was down-to-earth there, could
It is possible to draw a sword and join the battle.
But the more he didn't want something to happen, the more likely it was to happen. He had only walked less than a third of the way, and there was still at least six yards to reach the platform, when there was already a strange noise around him.
Although he couldn't understand what the sound was, Arthur knew that it was definitely not a natural occurrence. It must be the sound or cry of an ambush hiding in the dark. He quickened his pace---probably
Speeded up by about 25%------accelerated and moved forward without breaking the suspension bridge. However, his acceleration was of little use, and the enemy attack that was supposed to come still came.
The "darkness" surging around is actually a swarm of bats. The number is estimated to be at least three hundred. Moreover, each individual is a palm-sized, strong and violent vampire bat. This kind of bat is extremely rare in Africa.
However, because they can transmit diseases, they are included in the category of highly monitored dangerous animals, and their appearance is very special and easy to remember. King Arthur was informed of this when he went to Egypt to perform official duties, and he remembered the names of these vampire bats.
Appearance. Although he knew from the beginning that he might be attacked while crossing the suspension bridge, the fact that he was actually attacked by such dangerous vampire bats, and that they still swarmed Arthur on a large scale, still surprised the King of Knights.
When ordinary people see this scene, they may be too frightened to move, or at least freeze for a few seconds, losing the most important opportunity to escape. But King Arthur is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and even if he is stunned, it will only last for half a second, and he will follow closely.
The last thing is the countermeasure that his brain came up with in a tenth of a second------
Fighting? Impossible. Moving around on such an unstable suspension bridge will only accelerate the destruction of the suspension bridge and make you fall. And even if you fight, you can't deal with the vampire bats attacking from every direction, even if the suspension bridge is not broken.
He couldn't drive away the swarms of bats either.
Speeding up and escaping? No way. The suspension bridge is so broken. If Arthur runs faster, it will break. Arthur will still fall off the bridge and die. Maybe after he falls to pieces and dies tragically, these damn bats will
He would also wantonly suck all the blood from his bloody corpse.
Neither fighting nor running is possible, so the only thing that can be done next is------
Without thinking, the King of Knights raised the Holy Sword of Seraph and activated [Spell Breaker].
Boom! ------The white, holy light spreads out from the bladeless sword body (actually the scabbard), the range is very large, it can almost be said to cover the entire cave. This is a kind of photon
Explosion, but the impact force accompanying it can actually be controlled to be very small (even Arthur himself can't tell how it is controlled, but he can control the size of the shock wave when he consciously controls it). This explosion
The entire suspension bridge where Arthur was standing shook, but the suspension bridge held on and did not break. The strong light and impact from the photon explosion drowned the vampire bats coming from all directions, causing them to scatter instantly.
!
According to Arthur's idea, these vampire bat groups should be raised by the witch in this cave. They may even be controlled by the witch using some kind of mind control spell, and they are specially guarded in this deep cave with a suspension bridge to fight.
Intruders. If they are controlled, the explosion of [Spell Breaker] is enough to release the mind control spell on the vampire bats, so that they will no longer listen to the witch's command. If they are not controlled, purely
They follow their own biological instincts and want to absorb the human blood from Arthur. It is even simpler. The bright light is enough to drive these vampire bats away and make them run away. Because bats are animals that live in the dark, and their eyes have adapted
He has lost the darkness, but at the same time has degenerated to the point of being afraid of strong light. [Spell Breaker] In addition to the impact, there is strong light, which is actually the excess light emitted by photons escaping in all directions at high speed. This strong light is enough to make people afraid.
The vampire bats of the light are half-blind. If they are directly hit by this strong light, even their eyeballs will probably feel burning pain!
Arthur's guess was correct. The spellbreaker had indeed dispersed the bat swarm. The vampire bat swarm that had surrounded the blond boy from all directions was instantly pierced by the bright light and dispersed. The bats were not only blinded by the bright light,
They were also stunned by the impact, and many bats began to fly around, hitting their companions at the same time, hurting each other. Some weaker individuals were directly stunned and fell like raindrops!
but------
Bang! Arthur could clearly hear the snapping sound of something next to him. It was a hemp rope on the suspension bridge.
His range of movements was still too large, and the wooden planks and hemp ropes on the suspension bridge could not withstand his efforts and began to break!
"Run!!------" Bediwell, who was waiting on the other side of the suspension bridge, shouted loudly.
