Chapter 352 The Burning Swamp (3) Ask for Recommendations
"Launch! Shoot crossbow arrows, don't let those demons shoot fireballs, if the deck is set on fire, we're doomed! Mo Yan roared angrily at the sky, he held a light repeater in each hand, and the crossbow arrows kept firing out from the repeater to shoot the flying demon in the sky, but he didn't even spray the scales of others. To read the latest chapters, please lock in Aishang Novel Network biquge.info after all, the strength of the repeater is too small, and it is not comparable to the power carried by the crossbow arrow magazine launched by the heavy crossbow.
"Left! No, it's on the right, Lu Xiaofeng, what kind of arrow are you shooting, where are you going!" Blood Haifeng said depressedly towards the thief operating the heavy crossbow beside him, the latter also scratched his head depressedly, in fact, Lu Xiaofeng was already aiming very carefully, but the speed of those little devils flying was too fast, and all kinds of air stagnation and turning and other actions kept appearing, and they couldn't aim at all.
"Be quiet!" Lu Xiaofeng, who was a little annoyed by the noise of Blood Sea Peak, couldn't stand the noise in his ear anymore, and yelled at Blood Sea Peak, but when he finished yelling, he found that Blood Sea Peak was directly dragging him and preparing to escape. At this moment, Lu Xiaofeng instinctively turned his head to look at the situation behind him, and what caught his eyes was a pair of blood-red eyes and a huge war knife, and the blood-bright knife light lit up the moment he turned his head, as if he was going to smash him together with the heavy crossbow he was staying in.
At this moment, everyone felt that Lu Xiaofeng was absolutely dead, and even Xue Haifeng, who was dragging him to escape, estimated that it would be good to be able to pull back half of his body at most. But as a result, Xuehaifeng suddenly felt that his hand dragging Lu Xiaofeng suddenly disappeared, and then turned his head to find that the other party had disappeared from the original place, but ran to a place five or six meters away from him.
"Damn! What is it? Teleportation is still Ling Bo microstep, this movement speed is too fast! Xuehaifeng didn't see Lu Xiaofeng's movements at all, and he suddenly crossed a distance of five or six meters and dodged directly.
"This speed is faster than Brother Shui's phantom steps!" Fei Yun looked at Lu Xiaofeng's figure a little sluggish, and now he finally understood why he was able to grow to the fifth order unscathed, with this kind of escape speed, as long as he didn't encounter a mortal situation, he could hide in the difficulties. But now he can only dodge in the boat, and if he loses the board and falls into the water, no matter how fast he is, he can't dodge the demon's attack.
"Watch out for the fireball!" Just as Fei Yun watched Lu Xiaofeng lose his mind, speculating whether he was using advanced combat steps or secret techniques, a warning voice came into his ears. As soon as Fei Yun came back to his senses, he immediately pulled up the heavy crossbow and pulled the trigger towards the sky, and the scattered crossbow arrows shot straight to the northwest the moment they broke away from the arrow slot, and the twenty crossbow arrows formed a small dark cloud that approached the little devil who was about to launch a fireball. But at this time, Fei Yun suddenly found that there was a demon on the other side who was preparing to launch a fireball, and the most important thing was that its fireball formation volume was much larger than the little demon that was being attacked now, and a trace of cold sweat slowly appeared on Fei Yun's brain.
"Pillars! Block that fireball! Fei Yun can only hope that Zhao Tiezhu can block this fireball attack now, otherwise if he is hit by such a terrifying demonic fireball, he will definitely be directly hit through the ship's board.
"Damn! How could I have been able to hold off such a big fireball?! Zhao Tiezhu looked at the huge black and red fireball slowly falling in the sky, and felt that his steps were a little soft, but he still did not stop his body and went straight to the landing point of the fireball, holding the shield tightly with both hands, ready to activate the shield of the earth at any time to resist this attack. However, although he moved quickly, the others were not slow to react, and the moment they found the fireball falling, several people had already taken out the spell scroll directly from their backpacks and activated it directly. Although none of the players on the ship have a mage, the role of the scroll fills in the gap slightly, and even if the spell scrolls inspired by the warrior are not powerful enough, they can still make up for the gap.
However, these spells are not mainly to attack the demons in the sky, but to counteract the magic of some of the fireballs, so the spells launched are all similar to water elemental spells or variants of ice spells, a shot of water balls and ice arrows fly in the sky towards the falling fireballs, constantly weakening the heat and power of the fireballs.
Of course, this can't completely extinguish the fireball at all, and it can only be weakened on a certain distance, but it adds a certain chance for Zhao Tiezhu to block the bombardment of the fireball. It's just that it was Zhao Tiezhu who resisted the fireball in the end, so he was still under a lot of pressure, and he didn't have any idea whether he could block this fireball wrapped in bursts of mist on the periphery.
When the fireball finally collided with the shield emitting an earthy yellow light, the air within a meter of Zhao Tiezhu's side exuded a violent high temperature, and the spells that were originally used to weaken the power of the fireball turned into water mist because of the power of the fireball, and disappeared directly at the moment of collision, or because of the power generated by the collision, the water mist was completely evaporated, thus forming a circle of shock waves. The shock wave formed by the black flame spread directly around Zhao Tiezhu's body, but it was blocked by others with shields and **, after all, once this shock wave bombarded the wooden crossbow machine, it might cause huge damage to the crossbow machine.
At the same time, Zhao Tiezhu, who was hit head-on by the fireball, or used his shield to resist the impact of the fireball, the click of the wooden plank breaking from his feet, the impact of the fireball was so great that even if he directed the power to the plank below, it could not completely cancel it out. Not only did the planks shatter, but even the punt he was on was a little shorter than the other three punts around him. This shorter side of the ship was the result of Zhao Tiezhu transmitting the attack power of the fireball downward in order to reduce the impact force, and the huge power was borne by the entire ship.
It was also thanks to the fact that the flat-bottomed boats they had built were sturdy enough to have at least three decks, otherwise the sheer force of oppression would have been enough to completely penetrate the deck. But even the three-layer planks could not completely withstand the terrifying impact, because Zhao Tiezhu kept transmitting the impact of the fireball to the deck, and as a result, the deck under his feet was trampled on and made a constant clicking and creaking sound. At the moment when the fireball dispersed, the deck could no longer withstand the constant exerted force and was directly stepped out of the two big holes, and Zhao Tiezhu's two feet fell directly into it.
"Grass! Pull me up, bad luck! This board is too sturdy! Zhao Tiezhu was extremely depressed and wanted to pull his body out of the plank, after all, it felt very uncomfortable for his legs to be stuck in the air. However, the people around him were busy resisting the attacks of the demons in the air, and no one had time to help him, so in the end, he could only rely on Zhao Tiezhu to break the broken wooden plank on the side of his thigh before he climbed out.
When Zhao Tiezhu climbed out of the plank in frustration, the four ships were already full of charred planks and broken heavy crossbows, and the demon's power was too strong compared to the player's strength. Especially their ultra-high-skill flying skills, they almost played Fei Yun and them in circles, and several times they had already taken aim but they escaped from view. They can only rely on covering shots to block their progress, but there will always be a time when the crossbow arrows are exhausted, once the crossbow arrows are completely exhausted or the heavy crossbows are all destroyed, then Fei Yun's counterattack ability will be directly wiped out by half.
In fact, the remaining combat power of the players on the slipway is less than seventy, although there are no players who have hung up for the time being, but there are a lot of injuries, and they are all moderate to severe injuries with missing arms and legs. The broken limbs were either in the demon's mouth or in their stomach at the moment, so the injured player looked at the demon with a hint of resentment and fear. Staying on the deck with an injured player will not only have no effect, but may be a burden to the battle, so when designing the hull, Fei Yun and they set up a mezzanine on the ship's board. This mezzanine, which is only 1.5 meters high, leads to a passage on the guò deck, so that injured players can take refuge inside.
At the same time, once the upper deck is completely destroyed, then the upper deck can be removed in a special way, exposing the mezzanine below. There were some nice gifts hidden in the mezzanine that could surprise the demons, but that was Fei Yun's last resort. Just enabling these surprise little things means that they can only swim back to the fortress.
Looking at the two dozen demons constantly flying in the sky, everyone's teeth creaked. At the same time, more than a dozen demons fluttering in the water in the distance also made the player's teeth itch with hatred, but the player's combat power was insufficient to completely kill those demons, and because the demons had been harassing in the sky, they didn't even have a chance to beat the water dogs, so they could only watch those demons that were shot down fluttering in the water.
"Dark dagger, use that!" Fei Yun gritted his teeth and said to the dark dagger oozing blood from his forehead beside him, the heavy crossbow they controlled had completely turned into a pile of broken wood, if it wasn't for the two of them flashing fast enough, they would definitely be cut off like T-boy's arm, and become a piece of meat to gnaw in the demon's mouth.
"No! You should know that once we use that thing, we won't be able to complete the mission, and you want to swim back to the fortress? The dagger shook his head, he knew that once he used that thing, he would definitely be able to turn the tide of battle, even if he couldn't destroy most of the demons in one fell swoop, he could shoot them into the sky, and he could toss them at will. It's just that after using it, everyone almost has to swim out of the swamp.
"Then use half of it, you don't need to use all the things on the ship, you only need to use half of it, and the rest of the ship plus the mezzanine is enough to accommodate everyone!" Fei Yun looked at the eyes of the dark dagger and said sternly, at this time, he could only rely on those things hidden in the mezzanine to win, and the little devils in the sky were not without damage, and most of them were more or less inserted with some crossbow arrows.
"Alright! Notice below to unseal the deck, I hope the things that have come out in the past few days will be used again! The dagger sighed, but the sigh of turning his head to the sky at the little demons who were throwing fireballs wantonly downwards was quickly replaced by anger, after all, it was not so pleasant to be teased by demons.
As the words of the dark dagger fell, the tenon between the four flat-bottomed boats that were originally united was directly knocked out by artificially, and the two flat-bottomed boats were slowly separated from the other two flat-bottomed boats, and at the same time, the tenon on the middle seam of the deck of the originally united ship was knocked out one by one. As a result, the planks attached to the top lost their combined strength and fell apart, peeling off the surface of the punt.
At the same time, the players on the other two punts resisted even more fiercely, as if they were preventing the demons from getting closer to the two disintegrating ships, but in fact they were constantly luring them closer to the hulls. After all, the more you stop the demon, the more it will appear that there is something hidden there, and in fact the players hiding in the mezzanine of the ship have already slipped through the planks and slipped out of the water, leaving the demon with nothing more than an empty ship. Unbeknownst to the demons, the demons kept approaching the crumbling hull until they saw the iron pipes erected under the planks.
"Thunder artillery barrels! I didn't expect this kind of thing to come out of the fortress recently, but it's a pity that it's a one-time product, and it's over after one use, and it will also launch an object of one meter around the base, which is simply something that hurts people and hurts yourself! The dagger hid under the water and watched the terrifying flames erupt from the water, not from demons, but from the steel barrels of the two collapsed flat-bottomed boats that had come here.
These Thunder Barrels are the newest weapon to be created in Zela's Fortress, and players prefer to call them self-detonating devices. However, the scope of the explosion was not only a few meters around the barrel, but also an area of thirty meters in the front of the barrel. It's basically a game version of a real-life artillery, and it's also an unstable version of a spell weapon.
This weapon that uses two magic crystals with opposite properties to instantly detonate to form an explosive bombardment projectile is very similar to the gunpowder weapons in reality and the gunpowder weapons in the game, but the power is not comparable to those weapons. At least so far, players have not heard of any gunpowder projectiles that can instantly penetrate armor, so many people are not very interested in gunpowder weapons, and they feel that they are really sorry for the name gunpowder weapons.
As for how powerful the thunder cannon barrel is, Fei Yun and the others still can't know, but they know that the price of this kind of cannon barrel is very expensive, each one is close to 1000 gold coins, and they must pay 5 merit points to get it. It was almost all the people in the team who begged grandpa and grandma to mobilize enough gold and military exploits from their guild to get the players who hung back to bring these things.
"Boom, boom!" The power of dozens of thunder cannon barrels that burst out in an instant made Fei Yun, who was not far away, palpitate, even if the flat-bottomed boat they were staying in now was more than ten meters away from the cannon barrel, it couldn't suppress this fear, after all, there were dozens of cannon barrels standing below them. The feeling of sitting on the gunpowder pile made everyone swallow, but it was the demons who approached the punt to find out what was going on, but it was the demons who came close to the punt to find out. The nearest demon was directly engulfed by the energy ejected from the cannon barrel, and the one that flew far was directly hit through the body by the fragments that flew out, and fell from the sky.
"Damn! It's terrifying! "This was the only thought that everyone had when they saw the Thunder Gun Barrel, because a piece of the gun barrel directly crossed a distance of nearly twenty meters and smashed the protective wood directly into the deck, only a little bit to blast into the deck. Thinking of the thunder cannon barrels in the mezzanine below deck, everyone thought it was better to stay away from the explosion site, and as for the demons struggling in the sky, no one would pay attention to them, but they were still looking forward to shooting the demons to gain military merits. Because after the thunder cannon burst out, only two or three of the twenty or so demons that were originally flying in the sky remained, and the others either hung up directly or fell into the water.
The demon that fell into the water was no longer faced with the attack of the thunder cannon barrel, but the shooting of the few remaining heavy crossbows, and the frightened little demon did not dare to fly down, but could only fly in the sky and watch angrily as the player shot his own kind. After a few roars of rage, the demons flew straight towards the northern sky.
"Oh no, those miscellaneous pieces shouldn't have run to call for reinforcements!" Looking at the little devil flying away slowly, everyone's hearts chuckled, and an ominous feeling instantly imprinted in their minds. After being attacked by more than forty little demons, everyone knew that the road ahead was definitely not smooth, and there might be more demons waiting behind, so the people who watched the few little devils flying away and sitting on the boat did not have the excitement of shooting demons to obtain military merits at all, but a faint worry.
"It seems that we can only take the risk of walking through the swamp, give up this ship!" The leaders combined and found that they could not cope with the demon's attack from the sky, so they decided to abandon the two punts completely and go overland. Explore a walkable path out of the swamp and slowly walk towards the Devil's Gate.
"But we can't cheap those demons, we're going to surprise them with these two ships!" A resentful voice came out of T'Boy's mouth, clutching his severed arm and cursing viciously, so that anyone could hear the anger in his voice. T-zai's words are also the voices of other players who have been injured by Yan, they are either missing arms or missing part of their legs, and their combat power is not known how much they have been reduced, so the anger towards the little devil is even greater.
"Put all the thunder cannon barrels on board! I'm sure I'll surprise them! An eerie voice came from the back of the cabin, it was Mo Yan's voice, but now he had no legs and could only lie on the ground. Although the bleeding from the wound has completely stopped, there is no way to continue the mission, and what he wants to do now is to pull more pads before he dies, at least after hanging up, he will gain more experience in military merit to make up for the loss.
Half an hour later, Mo Yan was alone on the flat-bottomed boat, and he looked at the little devil who was slowly flying in the sky and flashed a fierce light. At the same time, nearly a kilometer away from the flat-bottomed boat, Fei Yun and the others lurked in a swamp, but there were already a dozen people in the team, and they all planned to stay on the boat with Mo Yan to attract more demons, so that those demons thought that everyone was hiding on the boat. At the same time, these people are also seriously injured and unable to move, so they can only stay on the ship and wait for death.
"Damn crumbs, come here! We're going to be sure to give you a big surprise! All the people who stayed on the flat-bottomed boat looked viciously at the demons flying down from the sky, and then pulled the installed heavy crossbow, and the remaining crossbow arrows flew out from the crossbow machine, interweaving a large rain of arrows in the air, attracting the attention of the nearly 100 little demons who rushed over.
