Chapter 73: Satellites and Meteors
"This passage looks very dangerous!" the two-headed ogre shook his head, "We'd rather run one more lap and you do your wall-piercing magic again!"
"It's too late!" Qian Jing pointed to the wound on the side of Hu Ga's leg: "You are already injured, you will die if you come back again! I may not be able to guarantee that I will play better than this time next time! Quick! Don't hesitate, you go first, I'm behind you!"
The two-headed ogre muttered twice, reluctantly, but still got into the passage well overhead under the push of Qian Jing. It's no wonder that he is so reluctant, Qian Jing's passage well looks dangerous.
Due to the rush of time, Qian Jing did not have time to make particularly detailed calculations, and all the scales and frame compositions could only be distracted. When the passage shaft is completed, it does not present a straight and regular engineering drawing, but a distorted, hazy abstract effect, like Van Gogh's "Starry Night".
The ladders leading to the exit are spaced at different lengths and shorts, and the walls around them are wide and narrow. Standing still and looking intently, I found that the entire passage well had not stabilized at all, and was still changing its shape. So, climbing in, like getting into the throat of a giant python, a sense of oppression from all sides constantly squeezes out the claustrophobic fear in the bottom of the heart.
"It's itchy, it's not normal. Hu Ga's big ass writhed on top of the money camera, and he never stopped complaining. "Little man, your magic...... Your magic has ghosts. This passage is biting at our skin, flesh and our bones. No, we're going to go down and get out of here. ”
"No way!" Qian Jing held Hu Ga's buttocks, and then carried it with his shoulders: "Now it's only up, not down! Damn, I received a call to the police! The Aether Golem is approaching!"
Through the steel mirror left by Hu Karma at the entrance of the shaft passage, the reflection of the black octahedral golem can be seen. The tireless killer burned through the obstacles, chasing the ogre's trail along the way. "Hold it off!" Qian Jing ordered, and the stickman immediately attacked.
The Aether Golem didn't care about the stickmen at first, and its main target was creatures, not black "shadows". However, when the steel needle shot at a rapid speed and plunged into the black crystal shell of the Aether Golem, the counterattack immediately began. Every point of the scorching ray, even if it was just a stickman's past, was enough to incinerate and evaporate. The stickmen can't fight against the Aether Golem, or the power of Qian Jing can't threaten this powerful magical killer at all, they can only attract as much attention as possible to the Golem, so that Qian Jing has a chance to escape.
"Huga, climb! If you don't want to be shot through the ass (X) eye by the Aether Golem, crawl as hard as you can!" Qian Jing roared angrily, and finally saw the two-headed ogre accelerate with all his might. The ladder in his hand trembled, and the stickman borrowed strength from him to attack, which also made Qian Jingjian fall into a weak state.
At this time, if his hands and feet slip and cause him to fall, then he will die! For the sake of insurance, Qian Jing did not dare to rely entirely on the grip of his hand, he hooked the ladder with his arm as much as possible, imitated the action of a praying mantis, and tried his best to climb up. "Qian Jing, you can do it, left arm, right leg, right arm, left leg...... Look at the ladder and look at the ......" Qian Jing cheered himself up and worked the uneven ladder.
The stickmen did their best, and they delayed the Aether Golem for a long time, but the invisible killer still made it to the bottom of the shaft. It wondered why there was an extra channel that wasn't on the record, so it took a few seconds to discern the authenticity of the channel and make sure it wasn't some kind of illusion. Then, it came to the bottom of the passage, and its red eyes went up, and it saw four legs, four arms, four buttocks, and three heads.
A scorching ray was launched, and Qian Jing felt the red light flickering under his feet, thinking that he was dead, "Ahhhhh......h In just an instant, red heat rays grazed the money mirror, flew past the left side of his body, and shot into the wall. "Missed?" Qian Jing was stunned for a moment, bit his lip hard, and continued to climb up!
The Aether Golem rotated and repositioned, then continued firing. Another ray of heat grazed the Qian mirror's body and skewed it.
"What's wrong with this thing?" Qian Jing also felt strange, so he looked down as he crawled. He watched as the Aether Golem attacked, the red rays spiraling and twisting in the air, like an instant noodle dipped in ketchup, and staggered again.
"There's a problem with the space here, and it's still a big problem. Qian Jing saw that the heat ray was indiscriminately crooked and couldn't hit him, so he quickly accelerated to climb after taking a long breath of relief. There is no stickman to borrow his strength, so it is now more convenient to use the gripping position. It shouldn't be far from the exit, and Qian Jing could already feel a breeze coming from his hair.
The Aether Golem's heat rays didn't hit anything, but it didn't know what it meant to give up, so it flew upwards and drilled into the wellhead to continue the pursuit. The wellhead drawn by Qian Jing was slightly smaller than the size of the golem, so the crazy killer burned the four walls with heat rays, expanded the cross-sectional area of the channel, and then forced himself in.
When it squeezed in, Qian Jing lowered his head again, and it was no longer possible to see the golem through the steel mirror. However, the melted walls dripped down on the Aether Golem, roughly outlining the outline of the octahedron. "Good to come in!" Qian Jing gasped, and finally climbed the last ladder, kicked his leg hard, and climbed out of the well above.
Suddenly, his arms trembled violently, and the mind-shaping ink spread along his veins to all parts of his body, running through all locations in less than two seconds. "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" Qian Jing rolled on the ground, his body suddenly swelled and became larger, and at this time, the black lines all over his body swished back again.
This sudden situation came and went quickly, Qian Jing sat up and quickly checked himself, there was no pain, no itch and no wound. Hu Ga's questioning voice came: "Villain, why did you suddenly become bigger?"
Qian Jing turned his head and saw that the two-headed ogre was much shorter than himself, and he still looked cute and short: "Huga, when did you shrink yourself again?"
"We're not shrinking ourselves. Hu Ga looked around, and his four eyebrows furrowed vigorously. Qian Jing also followed his gaze to look around, and didn't find anything different?
"! We've gotten smaller!" Hu Ga exclaimed, "What's going on? Why do we get smaller when we climb the shaft? You should be smaller too, but suddenly it swells up and returns to its original shape!"
"Is it, the problem is on the passage well?" Qian Jing hurriedly got up and checked. From his current perspective, the exit of the passage well has become a small hole less than a meter square, and his current size needs to be guarded against getting stuck if he wants to get in, but when he climbed out just now, he felt very loose, and he didn't touch the wall even when he rolled.
"Oops, the scale must be out of order!" Looking inside from the outside of the cavern, it is clear that the Aether Golem is twisted and compressed as it moves. It was evident that it was getting smaller, and even the heat rays that came out were getting thinner as they swirled and bent. At first, it was the size of a thumb, and when it left the hole, it was only the thickness of a chopstick.
"Goodbye, you nasty octahedron. Qian Jing clenched his fists and ordered the Mind Shaping Ink to begin to recycle! The passage shaft trembled violently, and then closed with a thud, leaving only the flat stone floor. Black smoke seeped out of the stone floor, gathered and returned to Qian Jing's arm.
After recovering the Mind Shaping Ink, Qian Jing felt that his strength had recovered a little, and the Legion Bread taken out of the bag would make him and Hu Ka feel better. The stress of the Aether Golem is too great, and the nervous mood will speed up the consumption of physical energy.
For the first time, the overall appearance of the Half-Plane Flying Castle was presented to the two of them. It was an irregular sphere, with four towers pointing to the sky as far as the eye could see, and the completely windowless tower was supposed to be the location of the cell.
The planet is small, so the "horizon" bends very violently in the field of vision, and if painted with yellow and green stripes, it looks a lot like the stadium in the Soccer Kid comics. The magic of the earth elemental kept the asteroid intact, and the reinforcement runes used in the magic towers were all over the ground, and they constantly emitted a faint light to prevent the place from becoming a mass of darkness. The gravity of the asteroid is comparable to that of the giant fortress star, and it must not be a natural phenomenon, but only a part of the function of the magic array. However, the magic array does not seem to have good support for the qi element, resulting in a relatively thin air, even if he is sitting on the ground, Qian Jing has a feeling of being on the top of a high mountain.
The faint light of the ground could not shine far away, and the sky in the distance was pitch black. Qian Jing threw out half of the legion bread in his hand with all his might, and watched it break away from the planet's gravity zone after a short arc of a few tens of meters, and turned into ashes more than a hundred meters away.
"That's the boundary of the half-plane, and there's nothingness out there. It's so small here, and there's no benefit in being small. Hu Ga walked over, his head just reaching the height of Qian Jing's chest. "Villain, you've got to find a way to turn me back. We can make ourselves bigger, but that would be too physically demanding to sustain for long. If your spatial magic can become smaller, it will definitely be reversed! Big Daddy is like this, no one will like it when he goes back, and this will have a great impact, do you understand?"
"Understood, I'll figure it out. Qian Jing nodded. In fact, he was also made smaller, but the Mind Shaping Ink played a protective role, counteracting the spatial effect, and turning him back to his original state. "It's the first time I've had an accident like this, and it takes time to figure out how it works, and now is obviously not the time. ”
"Of course we do. Hu Ga nodded: "Finally, there is no Aether Golem chasing, great......!
There are some things that should not be said: a heat ray the thickness of chopsticks pierces through the foot of the money mirror and goes straight into the sky. The melted stone forms a red trickle that flows down the small holes. A second later, another scorching ray.
"The Aether Golem isn't broken, it's just stuck in the ceiling!I should have said goodbye to it instead of goodbye!" Qian Jing grabbed his hair with a distressed expression: "Huga, this thing is still ghostly!What should we do?"
The ogre's two heads began arguing and discussing at high speed again, and after the spit flew around, they finally came up with a solution: "Run!"
"Escape? Of course I know to escape, but where to escape? How does this Aether Golem chase endlessly, and what does it rely on to track us?"
"Images, sounds, smells, and possibly fluctuations in magical energy depend on the specific model and configuration. The ogre looked around: "There is no way to get rid of the Aether Golem on the surface of this planet. Unless...... Unless we're flying and approaching the half-plane boundary. It may be a no-go zone for the Aether Golem to be approached. Even if the Aether Golem dared to pursue, the barren elemental concentration at the half-plane boundary would cause the Aether Golem to malfunction. ”
"Then what are you waiting for, take me to fly?"
"We can fly up, but the barren elements there will also disable flight. Think about the bread you just threw out, in that area where there is no gravity, and you can't fly, and if you accidentally rush out of the half-plane, it will be wiped out!" Hu Ga shook his head: "No, it's too dangerous. ”
"As long as you can take me to the gravity-free zone, I have a way!" Qian Jing watched the ground melt faster and faster, and picked Hu Ga up: "I don't have time to explain, let's do my best!"
"We believe you again, you must have a way! If we can get rid of the Aether Golem, even if we don't escape in the end, we won't PiaJi you again!" Hu Ka pushed with both palms, and the powerful air currents blew the two off the ground. "Oh, no! if you can't do it, we'll turn into dust, and you won't have a chance to ...... even if you think PiaJi."
Qian Jing didn't want to be flattened, and of course he didn't want to die in the void, let alone be caught up by the Aether Golem - he had his own way. When the feeling of weightlessness came up, he asked Hugea to shrink himself and lose weight even more. The two-headed ogre struggled to squeeze the elemental power that was beginning to thin out around him, turning himself into a "toy" fat doll that was only half a meter tall.
"Hold on to me, don't let go. Qian Jing drew a stickman in the palm of his hand, and then ordered it to push himself hard. The stickman instantly burst out with all his strength, and used the power of the Qian Mirror to push the Qian Mirror out, and he accelerated into the void to disintegrate. In this way, the sacrifice of the stickman gave Qian Jing the momentum to move forward in a weightless state. It only takes a few repetitions to orbit the asteroid like a moon.
The power is solved, and all that remains is the problem of hypoxia caused by the extremely thin air. Qian Jing's eyes began to redden, and they also began to become blurry. He was afraid that he would faint if he didn't know anything, so he hurriedly drew a few more stickmen.
"Take us to that tower and land. He had just finished giving the order to the stickman when he vaguely saw the Aether Golem break through the roof. Immediately afterward, the Aether Golem chased the scent of Hu Ga and Qian Jing into the air, and then rolled and futilely attacked Qian Jing, who had already left range, mobilizing the already thin elemental energy to release tiny heat rays of hair, thus losing the last of its ability to maneuver.
The Aether Golem went completely out of control, its red eyes completely extinguished, and then flew out of the half-plane, turning into dust.
If it weren't for the lack of oxygen, Qian Jing would definitely cheer out. At this moment, he felt a heavy pain in his back, and it turned out that he had crashed into a tower.
Re-approaching the energy-rich area of the elements, air and gravity returned. Qian Jing, who was blue, and Hu Ga, who was purple, only had the strength to breathe, but they still looked at each other and smiled, after all, they survived.
