Chapter 380: Thousand Machine Towers (10)
"Qiuqiu, I'll save you." The ball is now in boiling lead water, and it could be submerged at any time. I immediately tied the ribbon around the hilt of the dagger, hoping that the ball would bite the dagger accurately.
But I still haven't been able to find where the flame beast is hiding, the lead plate here has completely melted into lead water, could it be that the fire beast has been submerged in it? I'm "ball, catch." "I didn't dare to let the dagger go too fast this time, so I threw it as a weight. Fortunately, I often throw short swords, and I am still very accurate. I threw the dagger into Qiuqiu's mouth with unmistakable accuracy, and Qiuqiu bit the dagger accurately.
"Great, don't let go of the ball, I'll pull you up." I pulled the ball back hard, and I was able to pull the little guy back in no time. Su Lingxue also came to help at this time, it seems that I will be able to achieve my wish soon.
Just as we were about to pull the smaller ball up, a burning bull's head suddenly appeared behind the ball. Damn the flame beast, which had been hiding in the lead water just now, wanted to be pulled up with Qiuqiu.
"Sister Su, what should I do?" I couldn't think of a way, so I could only ask Su Lingxue.
"Quickly retract the ribbon and keep the short sword in the ball. Let your uncle release the water now, and use the short sword to bring the ball out the moment the fire is extinguished. ”
I can only do what Su Lingxue said, because I really can't think of any way. I quickly pulled the ribbon back, and Su Lingxue had already begun to take me to a high place to hide, otherwise the back-up water would seal us up here with the flame beast.
"Qiuqiu, wait until I come back to save you." Qiuqiu watched me turn away, whimpering as he grabbed the dagger in his mouth. I'd love to go back, but I'm going to leave now to be you. Su Lingxue took me to the corner of the corridor and wrapped the ribbon around the beam above, and she and I borrowed the ribbon and climbed to the top of the beam together.
"Hurry up and let your uncle release the water, the moment the water enters the cell, take advantage of the fact that the lead water has not solidified, and immediately get the ball out." Su Lingxue was already a little impatient.
"Xiao Yu called uncle, Xiao Yu called uncle, began to release water and began to release water." My uncle didn't reply, but I immediately heard the sound of kalakala coming from the walls of the passage, and then streams of water rushed out of the water outlets, and converged in the passageway, surging towards the cell where the flame beast was trapped.
The water rushed under the beams, and as soon as I entered the cell, I saw a large amount of white mist pouring out of it.
"Now, pull the ball out." Before Su Lingxue finished speaking, I had already started to do it, I didn't want to bury that flame beast with Qiuqiu. I pulled the dagger back with all my might, and the ball that was biting the dagger flew back to me quickly.
I caught the ball with my hands, and it was covered in solidified lead, and the scales on it had fallen off quite a bit. I really pity this little fellow, I want to take the short sword out of its mouth, but it just won't let go, it seems that it really frightened it just now.
I just kept holding the ball and hoping it would be more comfortable. A large amount of water entered the cell, and soon it was level with the height of the door frame. I could still hear the screams of the flame beasts just now, but now it seems that there is nothing. Except for the sound of running water, there was nothing else.
"Want Want." Qiuqiu seemed to be much better, letting go of the dagger and licking my cheek with his tiny tongue. The little guy has finally regained his old spirits, and I feel much better.
"Okay, tell your uncle to put the water away, let's go down and see if the flame beast is dead."
"Call uncle, call uncle, put the water out, we're going to go down and check the situation." After I used my phone to contact my uncle, the water level below really started to drop rapidly, and after two minutes, the ground was reexposed.
We jumped off the beam and landed on the ground, where there was still a lot of standing water. The water flow just now was very strong, and I don't know if I can completely extinguish the fire on the flame beast. However, there is no thick fog floating out of the cell, and it seems that the demon of the flame beast should not be able to do evil in the future.
I used my phone to check the inside of the cell, but there was nothing, the lead had solidified, and several small pools had formed in the potholes on the ground. However, it was not as hot as it was before, and it seemed that the fury of the flame beast had been completely extinguished by the surging water just now.
After making sure that there was no danger, Su Lingxue and I walked into the cell one after the other. There was really nothing in the cell now, only a large pit in the shape of a beast on the ground, and it was filled with stagnant water, and it seemed that this was the burial place of the fire beast.
"Sister Su, this time the flame beast is dead." Su Lingxue nodded, it seems that I don't have to worry about my life this time.
Su Lingxue continued to explain to me: "Actually, it is not so difficult to destroy this flame beast, at that time, it was introduced into the snow mountain to freeze, and it was only to capture it and present it to the First Emperor. However, when designing the Vault, we also thought that it might escape, so we designed these water-infused traps so that it could be destroyed when it tried to escape. ”
"Then you mean that this flame beast is still easy to deal with, and it is the blood ancestor that is not easy to deal with." I asked curiously.
"Yes, the Blood Ancestor is just a strange creature that we occasionally find, and there is no record of it even in a divine book like the Classic of Mountains and Seas. In fact, it can only be called a blood beast, because ordinary people only live by sucking blood. But the one we caught can be called the Blood Ancestor, because all the Blood Beasts are bred by it. ”
It turns out that if all the blood beasts were bred by it, it would be better to be called a blood ancestor.
"Do you have any water, give me a drink." Su Lingxue seemed to be a little thirsty, but fortunately, I brought a kettle. I reached for the kettle on my lower back, only to find that the kettle was gone. Where did you go, by the way, the last time I was used as bait by my uncle, it has been turned into a pile of crumbs.
"Sister Su, I'm sorry, I forgot to bring my kettle, otherwise you wait a while, kill the blood ancestor, let's go back and drink water, okay." I'm embarrassed to say.
"It's not good for the body to drink without water, especially for us women, the body is like water, how can we live without water." Su Lingxue said while showing her graceful posture.
"Sister Su, what should we do, we can't drink the water on the ground just now." I said helplessly.
"If you think about it, it's all sewage, it's not edible. Xiaoyu, you're thirsty too. Su Lingxue said to me with a smile, but when she asked like this, I seemed to be really thirsty, after all, I was fighting with the flame beast in such a hot environment just now.
"Sister, I'm also a little thirsty, otherwise let's go back now, or what should I do." Again, I said helplessly.
"Xiaoyu, if you want to drink water, come with your sister, and your sister will take you to a place."
Su Lingxue took me to turn left and came to a secret door, she activated a mechanism, and the door of the room was opened. There is food and water here, and there is a place to rest, so it seems that it has always been inhabited.
"Xiaoyu, there is water here." She took me to a faucet-like place, unscrewed a mechanism, and water actually flowed out.
Wait, how is this water red?
