Chapter 203: Flames Over Elpahim IV
Fang Plover clutched the silver-white rope in his hand, and swung towards the Shadow Man's capital ship like an arm dragging a swing, the strong wind winding around his black hair, making it impossible for him to squint, making it more and more difficult to judge the distance between himself and the giant ship.
He looked up, and as the wind blew the silk, he saw rows of muzzles sticking out of the side of the ship, behind them flashing red-glowing shadows—the creatures of the hearth—the shadows were undoubtedly prepared, and although he didn't know how they delivered the message, there was no doubt that the other party wouldn't be fooled a second time in the same way.
What would happen next would be a bitter battle, and this thought also flashed through Fang Yu's heart.
He immediately let go of his hand and released another zipline, and 'Rocket Punch' flew upwards and hit the bottom of the boat, taking him into his opponent's blind spot. But that was only temporary, and Fang Yu knew that he would soon pass through the shadows of the bottom of the boat under the effect of inertia, and he turned around, and his left hand just withdrew the other flying claw.
Three, two, one, Fang Yu counted silently in his heart, and at the moment when the energy storage array of his left arm was charged, he once again released his first flying claw, which crossed the bottom of the ship and hit the 'cloud line' on the other side, that is, the name of the sailors on the air sea for the horizontal line of the ship's center of gravity.
The scene in front of me was changing rapidly, the shadow of the huge ship obscured the light on the clouds, and the other side was completely bathed in the morning light, a dazzling gold.
"Landing from the third deck." Fang Yu lowered his head and said, the communication crystal was pinned to his neckline, but the wind pulled his voice completely deformed. He didn't know exactly how many people had heard, but that's all he could do for now.
He looked up again, and there was no shadow of the Nightmare Furnaces on the other side of the ship, and they might be crossing the deck to this side, which would take a few seconds, but certainly not as fast as he could move with the zipline; Someone else had landed from the other side, but he could only hear the wind, and there was no gunfire in the wind, so it was unlikely.
Fang Yu gave the order, and the magic furnace began to drive the winch to tighten the cable, and the height began to climb rapidly amid the low humming sound of the piercing wind. He silently counted the height as he looked up at the approaching side of the ship, where the shadow giant ship was bathed in golden morning light, almost fading its shadow-like undertones—but its appearance was more grotesque and eerie.
The muzzles of the magebolts appeared on the side of the ship, there were only a few at first, the nightmare furnaces did not arrive at the same time, they almost unevenly reached the position on this side, and the constructed creatures had no emotion, and immediately opened fire on the square plover.
It was only on the shaking deck, at this distance, that the trajectory of the lead bullet had long since gone somewhere, and Fang Yu only saw the flickering of fire, but he didn't feel anything. By the time more muzzles appeared in that position, he had already climbed high enough - it was the third deck.
In front of them was the open cannon window, and behind it was the loaded Nightmare Furnace Creature, whose head flashed with a dazzling red light, a total of four of them turned around, but before they could react, Fang Yuan had already crashed into it first.
There was a 'thud', and he slammed the shattered window onto a Nightmare Furnace structure, causing the latter to lose its center of gravity and fall. Fang Yu fell dizzy, and the sound of drawing his sword was already heard behind him, he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly rolled forward, and the two muffled sounds of 'fluttering' were the sound of heavy blades slashing on the deck.
Fang Yu didn't have time to look back, because a huge force came from behind him, and it was a sword that slashed at him, but there was a sound of metal shattering, probably blocked by something. He didn't know what was going on with his magic furnace, and he didn't have time to check it, so he just put his hand on the information crystal—a dragon hunter took shape in an instant.
Fang Yu waved his hand, causing the blade in the dragon hunter's hand to slash through the darkness with a cold light, and where the cold light passed, the nightmare creatures fell to the ground one after another, either their heads were separated or they were cut in half. The structure, which was scattered into a state of parts, rolled on the shaky deck.
Fang Yu only had time to look back, only to see that the light on the artillery deck was changing at this moment, and several shadows were breaking in from the outside, a total of four people, and he counted them in turn—Red Leaves, Kaka, Six Shadows, and the craftsman named Wuxia.
Most of the rest of the people are more than lucky.
Kaka landed not far from him, and there was no Nightmare Furnace Construct in the place where he landed, and when he got up and looked, he also found that only a few of them had broken in, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Fang Yu immediately made a gesture to the other party: "Go to the bottom." ”
The cabin was surrounded by a steady stream of furnace structures, and it was clearly not a place to stay for long.
Their purpose was the Magic Channeling Cabin, which was located with the main core crystal, and was generally located in the most heavily protected central area of the ship, and it was obviously unrealistic for them to fight their way out of here, so avoiding its edge was the right choice.
Kaka glanced to the other side, where the Six Shadows landed alongside the others, separated from them by the Nightmare Furnace Build. Realizing that the convergence was no longer possible, he limped over to his chest.
Fang Yu whispered: "You go first, I'll break later." ”
Kaka was not polite to him, and nodded past him into the bilge.
Fang Yu then looked at the red leaves, the six shadows and the craftsman named Wuxia on the other side, at this moment, more than a dozen nightmare furnace structures in the middle were surrounding in this direction, and the situation over there was not much better.
He raised his hand and gestured to Momiji, meaning to find another way to converge, Momiji cooperated with him many times, comprehended, nodded slightly in this direction, and then led the others to kill in another direction.
Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and ordered his dragon hunter to withdraw and block the front, and at the same time reached behind him, but he grabbed a bunch of loose parts where he started. He was taken aback, and then he realized what he had been slashed before, and it was not the magic furnace that blocked the sword, but the 'fire djinn' hanging in the back.
Fortunately, the explosion crystals are extremely fragile, once the structure is destroyed, the detonation circle inside will not be effective, if they are as sensitive as some explosives on the earth, I am afraid that I will be blown to the ground at this moment.
At this moment, a flash of light passed through in the distance, a loud noise mixed with strong wind rushed in his face, and the black smoke carried countless wood chips crackling and knocking on the bulkhead, Fang Yu knew that it was the red leaves, and their side had already detonated the fire spirit. He sighed inwardly, took a step back and let the dragon hunter block the doorway, then turned and walked down the gangway.
It was the last dragon hunter he carried, and there was only one sample left on the Seven Seas Traveler.
It's pitch black down there—
The Shadowmen's capital ship was much like the other floating ships they had landed, with a bilge below the third gun deck, without a glimmer of light, and no fingers could be seen. In addition to some strangely shaped containers that he didn't recognize, there were rows of Nightmare Furnace creatures that hadn't been activated yet.
However, Fang Yu didn't expect to borrow it for his own use, because he had already disassembled and seen it when he was on other ships before, and these nightmare furnace structures were actually just shells.
Of course, at least on the other hand, he didn't have to worry about these things suddenly being activated to attack them.
Kaka was waiting in the dark, but Fang Plover had some of Livegard's strength that allowed him to see clearly in such an environment - the other party looked in poor condition, clutching his chest and frowning, and his face was as pale as paper.
"Are you alright?" He walked over and asked in a low voice.
Kaka shook his head slightly, and stood up with his elbow propped up on the box behind him, indicating that he was fine. Fang Yu was slightly stunned, seeing that the other party's condition did not look like there was no major problem, but there was a sound of swords clashing from above, the dragon hunter was fighting with the nightmare furnace creatures, and he could see clearly through the goggles with one eye.
In such a situation, Fang Yu didn't have time to think about this, so he just walked over to help the other party and walked in the other direction of the bilge with Kaka.
Kaka glanced at Fang Yu who was holding him in a little surprise, and was silent for a moment before saying, "If it were me, I would choose to leave me in this place, and I still have some fire djinn on me, you know, I can stop them for a while." ”
Fang Yu walked one foot deep and one foot shallow, and asked, "Then you want to stay?" ”
"Of course not," Kaka replied, "I'm not stupid. ”
"That's it."
Kaka couldn't help but take a closer look at the other party: "You're really interesting, do you know that Six Shadows and I used to deal with you, when you were in Fenris." ”
"Of course," Fang Yu replied, "It's just a defeated man, what do you want to say?" ”
Kaka's face darkened, and he wanted to find some excuse to prevaricate for a while, but he found that he couldn't seem to say anything. But the silence dissolves the embarrassment, and the topic is temporarily over.
After a long while, Kaka asked in a low voice, "What about the others?" ”
"I'll ask them to find another way to join us." Fang Yu replied, he picked up the communication crystal and asked, judging from Momiji's answer, everything was fine over there, and they entered the second deck and entered the anchor room through the utility room there.
Kaka turned his head to look at it and asked, "What about those things, why didn't they catch up?" ”
"My construct is standing in their way."
"Wait a minute," Kaka looked at him in surprise, "Your construct will act on its own?" ”
Fang Yu glanced at this guy a little strangely: "Of course not, what's wrong?" ”
"So you're controlling it at the same time?"
"So what, it's weird?"
"Nope."
Kaka replied sullenly, "It's not strange at all, it's normal." ”
It's just that he added in his heart, "Freak." ”
Fang Yu also quietly wiped a handful of sweat, he actually didn't know how to resist, although he could obviously feel that his dragon hunter was much stronger in terms of performance, but two fists were hard to beat four hands.
However, he was even more curious about the origin of his dragon hunter, which was so similar to these nightmare creatures, but obviously a higher level. Where is the shipwreck that mysteriously rests in the Bay of Fog?
It's a pity that the pirate king is not clearly written in the journal.
As soon as he was so distracted, the movements of his hands suddenly slowed down, the dragon hunter had already been hit by a sword in his chest, Fang Yu couldn't help but let out an 'ah', and the vision over there was already pitch black. Kaka was taken aback by him, and looked back at this side in surprise: "What's the matter?" ”
"No, nothing," Fang Yu hurriedly shook his head, fortunately he couldn't see the embarrassment on his face in the darkness.
He raised his hand, retrieving the buzzing Clockwork Elf from the darkness, and whispered, "My Clockwork Elf sees a cargo well ahead, where the Shadow Man used a crane to lift the cargo to the deck, and that cargo well should be able to access the other levels. ”
"Filmmakers also use cranes?" Kaka asked in some surprise, but it touched the wound and couldn't help coughing.
"What's so strange about that," replied Fang Ou, "from here, the filmmakers also need supplies, there is a need to transport goods from the deck to the bilge, and it is not surprising that there are cranes and cargo shafts. ”
In fact, he had long discovered that although the Shadow Man's floating ship was different from the human and elven sailboats in terms of appearance and style, its internal cabin layout was surprisingly consistent. However, considering that the Noumerin elves had a great battle with them thousands of years ago, it is natural for both sides to learn and learn from the weapons of war.
Learning and learning? Fang Yu vaguely felt as if he had grasped some inspiration, but the inspiration was fleeting, and he quickly lost that strange sense of connection. What's more, Kaka was also interrupting on the side and asked, "Your clockwork fairy has night vision?" ”
Fang Yu nodded, "It's an allomorphic construct, it's called 'Scourge Star'. ”
"Local tyrants."
It was a strange feeling to be called a tyrant by the people of the Grand Guild, and one couldn't help but feel a little fluttery, but it didn't last long, because they had already arrived at the cargo shaft.
Fang Yu stood at the edge of the well and looked up and down, there were black holes on both sides, and even his vision could not see what was underneath. "There's a bilge on this ship." Kaka leaned on the edge of the shaft and spoke.
Fang Yu nodded, it was not strange that such a large ship had five decks, but he was not curious about what was underneath, because at the moment they were not going to the bilge, but the upper cabin.
He was climbing up the cargo shaft through the clockwork elf, and found that the cargo shaft did not lead directly to the top deck, but was connected to the upper utility room, the storage room, and the anchor chain compartment that crossed the second deck. When he saw the anchor chain cabin, Fang Yuan realized that he had found the right place, he immediately picked up the communication crystal, and informed the red leaves of the situation here, asking them to find a way to move in the direction of the anchor chain, and he and Kaka would rush over to meet him.
Kaka sat up, looked at the side, pointed to the top of the well and asked, "Aren't you worried that they'll block up there?" ”
Fang Yu shook his head: "They don't know where we are. In fact, he always knew that their advantage was the time difference, it had only been a few minutes since they entered the ship, and the Nightmare Furnace Creature had not reacted so quickly, not to mention that the Shadowmen did not know their exact location at the moment.
Their goal is to get where they want to go before the other side completely encircles them. That place, in fact, there is more than one on this ship, and there is often not only one lift compartment on a large ship-
Of course, this plan will not necessarily succeed, but for now their actions are only a last resort.
Fang Yu raised his hand and fired a hook claw upward, then observed it through the vision of the clockwork fairy, and after two or three attempts to catch the correct horizontal ray, he tugged hard, testing the firmness of the fixing point.
It was only at this time that Kaka glanced behind him, and suddenly found several flickering red lights in the darkness. Those red lights were sweeping in this direction, and he hurriedly shouted:
"They're coming after you!"
Fang Yu also looked in that direction, but he was not too surprised in his heart, calculating the time, the other party should almost catch up. He looked at Kaka, but the other party hurriedly waved his hand at him: "Don't look at me, you give me a roll of rope, you go up first, and then drag me up-"
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, this is indeed the most reliable method at the moment. Judging from Kaka's state, it is unlikely that the other party will climb up with the help of his own strength. With this figured out, he ripped off a coil of rope from under the magic furnace behind him and threw it at the other party.
"Tie yourself up, and I'll drag you up in a moment."
"Hurry up." Kaka's voice was visibly nervous, and he couldn't help but look in that direction, and several red lights were getting closer.
Fang Yu nodded, gave an order, and the magic furnace drove the winch to tighten the rope, dragging him upward. As he looked up, he looked down and saw the boy scrambling around his waist with a rope.
Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and sped up his speed, he soon felt that he had touched the top in the darkness, and hurriedly grabbed the horizontal Yan that climbed there with his hand. Since he had already observed the situation in the vicinity through the clockwork fairy, Fang Yu did not hesitate too much, and easily climbed into the passage there.
As soon as he got his foot on the ground, he immediately turned around, pulled the rope with his hand, and shouted down: "Are you okay, just pull the rope when you're okay?" ”
But there was no response in the dark, Fang Yu was shocked, thinking that he had delayed the opportunity, and hurriedly looked around, only to find that Kaka was sitting in that place all the time, and waved his hand to him.
The young man was taking the rope off his body again, and then throwing it aside, before he raised his head and smiled at him, the snow-white teeth shining especially in the darkness.
"There will be a period later," Kaka smiled slightly, "Mr. Commander, I'll go get my insurance payout first." ”
Fang Yu was taken aback, but the young man had already taken out the fire djinn from behind him, and the next moment there was a flash of fire in the darkness, and then only thick smoke and air currents poured up in the direction of the cargo well, and he couldn't help coughing heavily.
But after coughing, Fang Yu took out the communication crystal and saw that a name in the channel had been darkened.
He retreated to the same place and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, his understanding of the Jeffrey Redcoats team was not very good, and the guild and its members naturally couldn't be separated, although he didn't have any prejudice against Six Shadows and Kaka, but he didn't expect that the members of the big guild would also have such a decisiveness-
Of course, he understood what Kaka was doing this for, to use the explosion to erase the traces of his departure, so that the nightmare creatures controlled by the shadow man could not tell how many people had left the bilge for a while.
In short, the other party is using Starlight to buy them time-
Fang Yu stood in place for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and turned to walk in the opposite direction, no matter what, he must not easily waste the time that others had bought for him.
