129. Peril
Then, until dark, the airship really made the way to the next airport, where it was briefly resupplied and maintained, and then continued its journey overnight.
The captain also checked with the locals about the recent bird migration, which is indeed the season of large number of birds, and the passing airships are often harassed, but they are all safe.
In this way, the crew and passengers were also relieved, and Rohr also shrank in the cabin to read the book, and then went to bed early.
Although I went to bed early, I had strange dreams.
In the dream, he met a person with a pair of long ears on his head, very cute and cute, big red eyes, watery, with very light and pale pink hair, and a cartoon carrot-shaped hairpin pinned to the ends of his hair.
She was wearing a brown dress, and on her legs were a pair of white stockings with a very good texture and a faint sheen, and there were no shoes on her feet......
The beautiful girl was pulling his arm, shaking it constantly, but her face was full of anxiety and worry, as if she was begging or warning something.
However, I only saw her little mouth open and close, but I couldn't hear any sound.
Rohr was also playful, reached out and grabbed the long ear on the top of her head, and asked:
"Are you a donkey or a rabbit?"
As a result, before the other party could answer, he heard a series of terrible sirens in his ears.
Unlike the previous alarm bells of birds, this time it was a real alarm from a loudspeaker.
Rohr was shocked, quickly woke up from his dream, ran out of the room, and saw several crew members running anxiously around him, holding fire extinguishers in their hands, shouting anxiously.
In the distance, a fierce fire, as well as a wave of heat and the smell of burning, could be seen from the shops.
The airship actually caught fire?
Rohr hurriedly picked up the fire axe in the corridor and ran to help put out the fire.
As a result, he happened to meet the first mate of the ship on the way and stopped him.
"Don't be nervous, airship fires are a common occurrence, we have sufficient experience in dealing with them, please don't ......"
Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden explosion not far away, and several crew members screamed and were blown away.
At this moment, the original composure on the first mate's face disappeared in an instant.
And the captain's voice also came from the loudspeaker:
"Attention everyone! A group of snake-necked wyverns of unknown origin were observed ahead, and they were rushing towards the airship, and everyone was ready for battle! ”
"Please note that due to unexpected circumstances, the airship may face a forced landing, please wear an emergency parachute......"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a circle of what looked like a protective shield lit up around the airship, and it was still flashing with colorful light, like a neon sign.
This is a way to deal with some nocturnal birds, and this irregular flash of light can make them feel extremely uncomfortable, so they will take a detour to avoid the airship.
But this method doesn't seem to have much effect on the snake-necked wyvern that is rushing in at you......
The Snake-necked Wyvern is a monster with a danger of about 4-5, which is not particularly powerful, and human firearms can effectively kill it, and ordinary soldiers led by experienced transcendents can deal with it.
And the number is also small, and the habitat is also squeezed by human activities, away from the range of human activities.
At the same time, it also has a certain amount of intelligence, and it is a domesticable monster, and some transcendents like to use this thing as a mount.
Therefore, they generally do not actively attack humans to die.
But the current situation is obviously different.
The Plesiosaur was much faster than the airship, approaching within minutes, and spread out in the air, emitting a series of piercing cries at the airship.
The airship had to allocate manpower to extinguish the fire damage, so it could only fire a few shots to try to drive them away.
This obviously didn't work, but it further angered them, and they began to ram their claws and python-like head against the protective barrier around the airship.
When this happened, the doctor also came out of the cabin, and asked the accompanying priest to help extinguish the fire, and he chanted a magic to further strengthen the airship's defenses, and it would not fall for a short time.
But if you can't get rid of them, the airship is still very dangerous......
And I don't know what the fire inside is, so if you don't need the snake neck wyvern to make a move, the airship itself will crash.
"Mr. Rohr?"
The doctor hurried to find Rohr, hoping that he would use coercion to drive the dragons away.
But Rohr's cabin was empty.
And the cabinet where the parachutes were originally placed was also opened, and the two parachutes inside were missing......
It looked like he had abandoned everyone and escaped by himself.
But Rohr is obviously not such a person, he will actually be in a hurry, and he is in the cargo hold, tying a parachute to the back of the little donkey.
"Remember, if you fall out in a while, bite this rope hard!"
Rohr snatched the carrot from the little donkey's mouth and put the pull cord of the parachute into its mouth.
The little donkey chewed on the rough rope, spit it out with disgust, and tried to reach out to grab the carrot in Roll's hand.
"Why are you so disobedient?"
Rohr threw the carrot away and shoved the drawstring into its mouth.
The little donkey could only look at him pitifully, very aggrieved.
"Okay, let's be smart, I'll put out the fire first!"
Rohr said, tucking the kitten into his pocket and leaving the cabin quickly.
As a result, as soon as he left, the little donkey still stubbornly spit out the drawstring, lowered his head and bit the carrot that was thrown away by Rohr, and continued to chew.
For it, eat this carrot quickly to better protect itself and everyone.
It's so much more important than a parachute!
It's a pity that his stupid master doesn't understand anything!
Raul disposed of the little donkey and hurried to the burning cabin.
With the help of several priests using divine magic, the open flame was temporarily extinguished, but it had already caused enough damage that the height of the airship began to gradually decrease, and the outer barrier was also crumbling under the attack of the snake-necked wyvern, all supported by the doctor.
"Steady! Steady! Don't fall! ”
Rohr roared loudly, and hurried back to deal with the uninvited guests outside.
He found an empty shooting window, picked up the arquebus and powder plug next to it, and prepared to reload the gun.
But just now the gunpowder was stabbed twice, and he realized that something was wrong, and quickly threw away the arquebus, and took out the saber from his left hand.
He originally wanted to use his sword qi, but the location of this shooting window was not very good, and he couldn't see the figure of the snake-necked wyvern.
That's where the disadvantage of not being perceived comes in.
Rohr had no choice but to change the direction of the shooting window facing upwards, just in time to see a snake-necked wyvern lunging towards him, and seemed to have spotted him, stretching out its large mouth like a snake's kiss and biting it.
As a result, it bit down on the airship's barrier, adding a few more splits to the precarious barrier.
Luo Er also seized this opportunity and slashed out two sword qi that aimed directly at the head of the snake-necked wyvern.
As a result, the sword qi also slashed at the barrier......
Then the barrier shattered......
The crew also cried out in despair:
"The barrier is broken! We're finished! ”
"It's a trap!"
"Abandon ship and escape!"
The doctor on the other end spurted blood from his mouth, staggered, and almost fainted due to the magic backlash.
He didn't understand very much, the attack power of these beasts was not very strong, and he could still support it for a while, but why did he suddenly take a heavy blow?
Could it be that there are some powerful monsters hidden in this group of monsters?
Luo Er looked at the shattered and scattered barrier in front of him, and he was also a little confused.
Why can this thing block sword qi, but not bullets and cannonballs?
Fortunately, the doctor was also a tenacious bishop, and he took out a few bottles of colorful reagents from his arms, stuffed them into his mouth, and then propped up the barrier again.
Luo Er had no choice but to use his sword qi to attack again, so he had to try to change his thinking.
Luckily, the weapon in his hand has been upgraded and has long-range firepower!
So he hurriedly touched the fish bone emblem on the hilt of the sword, and then rotated the end of the hilt counterclockwise, activating the heavy crossbow form of the saber.
The hilt of the sword suddenly opened like a stretched dough cake, and became the strange shape of the sword that was particularly long, had a particularly cool appearance, and did not have a crossbow and bowstring.
"I remember, it seems like I had to wind it first......"
He muttered under his breath and tugged at the bolt next to him.
There was a crisp 'click' sound from inside the heavy crossbow.
He then used the crosshair on his crossbow arm to aim at a snake-necked wyvern that was about to pounce on the top airbag, and pulled the trigger.
The narrow crossbow arm suddenly lit up with a pale blue light, and a secret magic circle appeared at the top.
Then, three munitions, without shafts and tail feathers, like darts and hidden weapons, were fired through the arcane magic circle in front of them.
After the three arrows shot out, they suddenly turned into three balls of light with light blue trails, drawing three beautiful arcs in the air, and hitting the three-headed snake-necked wyvern respectively.
The snake-necked wyvern that was hit by the ball of light suddenly let out a violent explosion, turning into three scattered blood mist, and was killed in an instant.
Luo Er was a little confused for a moment, and looked down at the strange weapon in his hand.
He only understood how to use it before, and he hadn't tested the power and specific performance, anyway, everything was solved by swordsmanship, so he didn't have any hope for this thing, and he was a toy.
However, this power and performance are simply shocking.
Explosive warhead, three shots at a time, automatic enemy hunting, gun headshot......
Lu Benwei is nothing more than that, right?
"Is it so powerful?"
He couldn't help but mutter.
He remembers that when he was still working in the military, he heard from their people that the new rifle was in full swing and that it would be possible to reload directly from the rear, which was much more convenient than loading from the muzzle.
Moreover, it seems to be equipped with a magazine, and it can be loaded with a single shot and a bolt, which is convenient and fast, and the firepower density can be several times stronger than before.
The military is very much looking forward to the early completion of the experiment and the installation of this new rifle in the troops.
However, even this new state-of-the-art rifle is almost like an antique and a toy compared to the crossbow in Rohr's hand.
It doesn't feel like a weapon of the times anymore.
But now was clearly not the time to think about this, so Rohr quickly pulled the bolt of the crossbow and reloaded it again.
But the crunch didn't come.
"Ahh What's going on? ”
"Oh yes, I remember, the ammo was equipped with three rounds, I had to reload ...... first"
He pulled a trigger attached to the side of the crossbow, and from under the crossbow came a magazine-shaped box with a joystick next to it, which looked a bit like a hand-cranked pencil sharpener.
He opened the box, grabbed a handful of bullets from the ammo rack next to him, stuffed it into the box, then grabbed the joystick and turned it vigorously.
The action looks like you're frantically sharpening a pencil.
He shook it for a while, until he heard a crunch of the magazine, and then he stopped and put the magazine back into the crossbow.
In the process, the Plesprüdge didn't wait for him to reload, but launched several more fierce attacks, and even used their innate acid spitting skills.
According to biologists, the acid in the stomach of the snake neck wyvern is a very important resource for their survival, and if they spit it out to attack the enemy, they will not be able to eat and digest it for a long time, and they are likely to starve to death.
So this is their killer weapon, a means that they will only use when they are extremely angry.
But in general, in this case, they should prefer to escape.
This time, there are really all kinds of things wrong......
But after all, it is the killer weapon of the other party, and the power is much stronger than ordinary attacks, under the attack of a series of acid spitts, the barrier that has just been erected is full of cracks again, and the doctor also spurts blood from his mouth again, and quickly takes out a few bottles of medicine from his pocket, and smothers it into his mouth.
If he didn't deal with this group of beasts quickly, he would almost run out of medicine.
Fortunately, at this time, Rohr's side opened fire again.
This time, a total of seven arrows were shot from the heavy crossbow, turning into seven blue streamers, each hitting the seven-headed snake-necked wyvern.
There's no one else in this self-aiming......
Originally, there were not many snake-necked wyverns besieging the airship, only about 20, and Luo Er solved a small half of them with two attacks.
The crew also noticed his victory and let out bursts of cheers.
Unfortunately, Rohr did not have time to enjoy the joy, so he quickly unloaded the magazine and began to sharpen the pencil again......
The functionality of this hanging is still not comprehensive enough, and there are no infinite bullets and one-second reloading.
But at that moment, a long, low roar suddenly sounded in the air......
"Ga ......"
The roar was majestic and powerful, as if a giant beast was roaring.
The tone is fine, but the sound is a little weird, it sounds like a donkey barking, a little weird.
And the snake-necked wyvern, who had been fighting with the airship endlessly, heard this strange roar, and immediately turned around one after another, like frightened sparrows, and fled in all directions.

Alas, no one is rewarding, and the list can't be pulled......
