The Flame of All Things Chapter 37—The Eve
The lightning pierced the clouds, leaving a serpentine trail, and the sky seemed to be torn apart from the middle, splitting into left and right. The opposition between dim and bright has an ominous portent.
Professor Shepherd stood on the deck, his loose robes filled with the wind and the drum humming.
There was a shock wave in the sky, and the explosion point of the fishing tordo in the distance was like a huge energy field at the moment.
The crusade of A-class beasts will go down in the history of the academy every time, because it is the most elite power confrontation. The current strongest power of the witch clan and the fierce beast in the world is the A-level division, except for the lair of the S-class fierce beast Qiqi that has just been discovered, but the existence of Qiqi is still unknown.
A year ago, in the ghost crusade of the Dream Realm, the academy sent a large number of B-level executives and A-level specialists, but although the final task was completed, there were countless casualties. The nightmare of the Nightmare of the Nightmare Ghost remained in the hearts of many of the surviving team members. A curse-like heart barrier haunted everyone who participated in that operation.
You know, the level of the dream ghost is also A-level.
And now, not far away, ten kilometers away, there were eleven A-class fierce beasts, and they appeared here together as if they were premeditated.
The tremendous energy drew the thunder and lightning from the sky, and no one knew what would emerge from the whirlpool.
It was the biggest crisis he'd ever faced at the Academy. Suddenly, the beast launched an organized attack on Gusuri's forces. And the academy had little time to respond.
"Remember what we're here for?" said Deputy Chief Selin as he stepped onto the deck.
Professor Shepherd did not answer him.
The Giant Elephant is here for Qiqi, carrying the latest weapons developed by the Equipment Department, which can be said to be a ship specializing in dealing with fierce beasts, a sharp weapon. Crucially, the Elephant is carrying a mysterious weapon.
It was a mythical blade.
They want to strangle the Poor-chested Shadow of Evil here.
This is a king-killing operation, but not many people even in the entire Gusuri Academy know about it. That mysterious weapon belongs to the deepest secrets of Gusuri.
Unfortunately, after nearly a month of searching in the East China Sea, no trace of the king could be found. They were waiting for the team below to return, and they had no choice but to hold on until the miniature submersible ascended.
"We can't use it until the last moment. There was a gleam in his eyes
"Of course I do. ”
"Have you figured out how you're going to fend off these eleven sprites? Each of them has a huge amount of power, and if the Elephant hadn't been upgraded, I even suspect that if one of them had been dispatched, we would have been silent in the middle of the ocean. Professor Shepherd said
"Of course, I know better than you how terrifying ghosts can be. But even so, we are born mortal enemies, and even if we don't meet them now, we will still fight one day in the future. ”
"If the end result is failure, then the best time to use that weapon is now, because they haven't dispersed yet. ”
"If you lose or not, you won't know until you fight. Deputy Chief Serin sneered.
He unfastened his military uniform and announced loudly to every corner of the ship with a teleportator
"Guys, I'm sorry first.
The Elephant may sink here today, but I beg you to fight with all your might, this is the greatest crisis the Academy has ever faced, and we have encountered hordes of ghosts. This trip was supposed to be for the murderer's king Qiqi, but unfortunately, we didn't meet it. Instead, they were attacked.
We no longer have the support of the academy headquarters, all we have is the Elephant and each of us.
I should have said something inspiring at this moment, but there are only two words I can say now – please. ”
Selin ended the bare with sincerity, no inspiring declaration, no roar of fighting to the death.
All of them are of Wushan blood, they don't need that kind of verbal encouragement, they have a curse in their bones that is not in the same way as the beast.
Every crew member on the ship unleashed their own magical powers, and everyone was ready for a big battle. Even if you are facing a group of A-class fierce beasts.
The Giant Elephant originally came to kill the king, and these things in front of it are far inferior to the king, so the Giant Elephant must crush the past.
The fishing thunder exploded accurately at the landing point of the pillar of light, and the water column rushed into the sky more than ten meters high, and then fell. There was a huge whirlpool on the surface of the sea, and the fishing boats had been blown to pieces and debris was floating around. But there was no sign of a single person.
Where did the beasts go?
The Giant Elephant temporarily lost its target, and the ship's guns were facing that side in unison, ready to be fired. The underwater pedo was reloaded.
In addition to these missile launchers on the deck, which were also a big killer weapon for the ship, there were almost no flesh capable of withstanding the intensive artillery bombardment.
In other crusades, there are no such excellent conditions as the Megaloin. And now, they can use it to their heart's content.
Therefore, even if you are facing eleven A-class ghosts. Neither will the people fall into despair.
They are waiting.
Time passed bit by bit.
The vortex gradually calmed down.
On the floating planks stood a humanoid figure, which appeared to be a man.
"There is an object approaching at high speed under 100 meters!. The sonar detector officer warned into the intercom.
"It's too late to move now, it looks like they're trying to attack the hull, so let's have a hard time, fire a fishing torpedo and detonate it fifty meters below. ”
"Are you crazy? The Elephant will be tossed over by the waves, and it will lose before it can even start. "Professor Shepherd felt that the deputy director was a little uncalm at the moment of crisis.
"No, we have side drains. Selin replied.
The red button is pressed.
A fishing tordo was fired from top to bottom into the sea beneath the Giant Elephant.
Fifty meters down, sonar detectors showed that the target was about to collide with the torpedo when the torpedo was detonated.
It was like a giant's hand lifting the entire Elephant, and the upward waves supported the giant ship with a displacement of 1,000 tons.
The front half of the Giant Elephant hovered at an altitude of tens of meters for more than ten seconds.
And then it fell heavily.
The bumps feel like a roller coaster falling from the top.
Huge waves rushed in all directions, and the hull of the ship gradually stabilized after several floats. The explosion didn't capsize the Elephant.
"The side drainage system was the last to be carried on the Elephant, and the Air Capital Division only retrofitted it before the cruise. By the time you got back to the Academy, you had already set off. The technician in white said to Professor Shepherd.
"How much impact can it withstand?"
"Unless the shell explodes within ten meters of the hull, the side drainage system can adjust its position by means of lateral buoyancy, a technology known in the European division as a 'tumbler at sea'. ”
Professor Shepherd was a little shocked.
If this technology is leaked out, it can be said that the ability of the hull to resist marine disasters will skyrocket. As long as it's not a monstrous wave, then the boat won't capsize.
"The side drainage technique requires burning dark crystals. As if to see what Professor Shepherd was thinking, the technician added.
Dark crystals are a pure energy ore that has been discovered in the ice of the Arctic by Arctic expeditions in the seventies of the last century. Even during the polar night, they emit ghostly light and are capable of burning. They contain so much energy that they burn 100 percent that they break some scientific laws.
Some scholars speculate that this crystallization is a product of the resting place of the beast, and the energy of the beast overflows from the body during their long sleep and condenses into this mineral. In fact, the academy has also been to the extremely cold place to investigate, and some traces of the existence of fierce beasts have indeed been found there.
Fishermen in Greenland have seen resting frost dragons resting on ice shelves, creatures that spit out a mist that freezes everything, and it sleeps in the deepest part of the ice. Perhaps the greenhouse effect caused the ice shelves to collapse, and the ice dragons reached the surface and were discovered by fishermen.
But such cases will eventually be dismissed as rumors and false stories. Even a blurry black and white photo is considered computer-generated.
There are legends of mysterious monsters and ghosts in all corners of the world. In fact, they are just beasts.
