0070 London Bridge collapses
"Fire!"
In the midst of a colony of coral snakes known for their poison and beauty, Lorraine's voice was louder.
He was terrified.
Even though his voice sounded steady and did not tremble, he did feel the gaze from the abyss from the eyes of the little snakes that were as colorful as colors.
With an alarming order, Acharin subconsciously lit the hairline, and the poisonous snakes everywhere also flew up, swooping down on the members of the expedition like arrows.
Lorraine didn't retreat, and swung her long knife at the rushing viper. The snow-bright blade reflected the flames, leaving an X-shaped residual light in the person's pupils, and with just one blow, it cut off seven or eight snakes in front of him!
The severed head of the snake still shows its fangs, and the snake is never a creature that can end its life by a mere cross-section.
Throwing knives and silver tarots swept by Lorraine's side, flying one by one, striking the deadly snake's head to the ground with precision.
Lorraine fell to her knees on one knee, staring at more vipers that had not yet bounced, and listened to the screams of the sailors behind her, roaring loudly.
"Kill!" "Boom!"
Roar that shook the sky!
The four-pounder cannon howled, a thunderous roar echoing through the caverns of the echo wall structure, sending a long roar in Lorraine's ears.
He felt like his eardrums were bursting.
He turned around with the shrill sound of voices, and saw the ghosted Henna and the ghosted Noah overlapping, covering their ears, crouching, and opening their mouths, their faces showing pain.
The sailors looked worse than the seamen, staggering and grinning, and Lorraine couldn't even tell how many had been kissed by snakes in this round of attacks.
But the Jedi finally found life.
The roar of the cannon startled the snakes away, and they fled in terror, shining like streamers in the dark hole in the ghost of Lorraine. Some burrowed back into the light bush and disappeared without a trace, while others were crooked and slanted, passing through the light bush and climbing against the smooth cave wall.
None of the snakes swam towards the holes at either end.
The edge of the tunnel seems to have invisible lines, and each stream of light will dissipate on its own. In their panic, they would rather fall off the smooth walls of the cave again and again than flee down the lightless tunnel.
This gave Lorraine a strange vision......
This small dome is not so much a hole for coral snakes as it is for ...... Like a cage.
He stood firm with his knife in his hand, swayed, and hissed: "Check your fellow men, gentlemen!" ”
"The bloodletting rescue who was bitten by the snake, and the rescue was ineffective to relieve him! We just waited for a minute. He took a deep breath, not caring how many people could hear what he said, "Noah! I hope the clock in the witch's head hasn't been bombarded by this cannon, and the clock is timed! ”
The examination and first aid were completed as quickly as possible, and a total of three sailors were bitten, plus the two who alarmed the snakes, five people were poisoned, and two were rescued.
The expedition abandoned its companions, panicked like lost dogs, staggered and staggered to the tunnel not far away, and no one dared to come near the light bush along the way.
It wasn't until the world outside the firelight was back in pitch black, and the sailors could no longer see the glow of the glow of the glow, that Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief, leaned against the wall, and sat down softly.
"Recuperation ......"
A heavenly command...... The sailors, who had been seasick on land for a long time, sat down in a row, and the sound of retching came and went.
Amid the retching, someone asked faintly, "We escaped, how do we go back?" ”
"If you can come, you can go back." Bravely gritted his teeth, "If you really can't get through, let the artillery clear the way and blast those damn snakes away!" ”
This is the standard English sailor, greedy, fearless.
Lorraine sighed with emotion.
The fact that he could hear the conversation of the sailors meant that his tinnitus had been half cured, and although for himself the long buzzing sound was still endless, he could compare and judge.
Risking a gun with a cannon was a foolish decision, and every time you fired a cannon in a sea cave was like a torture......
The huge wave of sound was nowhere to be released, and it was strengthened by the resonance and echo, injuring 300 enemies and 8,000 self-inflicted.
Lorraine was worried that if the bombardment continued, the gold might be found by a group of deaf people. But if they didn't have the cannons with them, most of them would not even have the chance to become deaf, and would have been attacked by wild beasts and become dead.
Naspert's team was wiped out, but where was the destruction?
Dragons? Viper? Or are they hiding in front, and they have not yet encountered other dangers?
Lorraine did not dare to take it lightly.
After waiting for half an hour, seeing that the team had regained its posture, Lorraine stood up against the cave wall and ordered the expedition to move on.
Without complaint, the sailors followed Lorraine with torches, silently walking through the deep tunnels.
The inside of the cave is getting warmer and warmer, and the walls of the cave can already feel a noticeable temperature, but it is not scorching.
Lorraine suspected that there was a vein of hot spring water outside the stone wall, but the cave wall was so dry that there was no trace of water in sight, so it was easy not to let Lorraine verify his judgment.
He frowned and asked, "Yacharin, is the cave wall thinning?" ”
"Thin?"
Acharin drew his musket and tapped the wall of the cave with the hilt, hearing the sound of a hollow.
His face suddenly became ugly, and he crouched down and carefully knocked on the ground again, still with the strange sound of the same thing.
"Captain, I'm afraid your sixth sense is right. The walls are as thin as eggshells, and they are not in the field at all. He took a breath and said in a trembling voice, "If my guess is right, we're drilling pipes right now...... Dozens of people, pushing a lump of iron weighing a ton and drilling a stone pipe that would collapse at any time. ”
Lorraine shrugged: "So what? Are you trying to advise me to leave the artillery here, or are you going to order the expedition to speed up and get out of this tube as quickly as possible? ”
"Neither!" Acharin's face turned white in the firelight, "It stands to reason that a stone pipe of this thickness and length cannot bear the weight of a four-pounder cannon. Since nothing has happened now, I think we would be better off leaving it as it is, and being sensible as if there was no such thing, and not needing to tell the sailors that we didn't need to tell the sailors......"
"Heroes see the same thing." Lorraine received the answer, his face did not show the slightest abnormality, and he comforted his gunner with a posture, "Acharin, no matter how thin the rock wall here is, it is thicker than London Bridge. Since London Bridge has been standing on the River Thames since the 10th century, the tunnel will not collapse easily. ”
"Hopefully, your optimism will be as accurate as your sixth sense. After all, no one had ever tried to wrap up London Bridge before...... Then, fire a cannon inside. ”
"There will be no more, and the English are reluctant to put London Bridge in danger." Lorraine smiled playfully, "Do you know why France, with far more people and land than England, has never been able to conquer the British Isles?" ”
"Why?"
"You always like to think badly about everything, so you are cynical, have fun in time, and lack the courage to challenge and explore." Lorraine patted Acharin on the shoulder, "Optimistic, trust your God, my friend." ”
"Optimistic?"
"Let's go in search of our treasure."
Lorraine turned her head confidently, her face darkening.
Damn it! The artillery is completely useless......
