Chapter Forty-Six: The Ending
I'm going, I forgot to set the release time for this chapter...... )
When it comes to shark hunting plans, Richard is sure.
The reason why it is nine times out of ten is because there is another point, he is not sure.
That is when the water in the lake is not yet discharged, and the demon shark breaks through the earthen wall.
If there is still enough water in the lake at this time, it means that the plan to catch turtles in the urn will be put on hold, and the demon shark can still jump back into the river from this side of the stream.
And whether this can be an obstacle or not depends on the time difference.
The water in the small lake is fluid, and there are comings and goings.
The water that flowed out of the river, which had been intercepted by Richard, flowed down into the great river of Campas. And the water flowing into this lake is the mountains and forests behind, and there are many tiny trickles.
The moment the current stream is blocked, it is equivalent to the entry and non-exit, and the amount of water in the lake increases.
It is not until the potholes attached to the bottom of the lake are blown up that the amount of water coming out is further greater than the amount of water coming in, and the lake is likely to be drained.
This time is the most dangerous time.
The only breakthrough left for the demon shark in the hunt is to break through the earthen wall in time and let the small lake behind it, which has not yet dried up, refill the channel.
Although the demon shark didn't understand this truth, its instinctive nature made it crazy. Twisting the nearly 100-ton behemoth body, it rushed towards the earthen wall in front of it fiercely, and its strength was not small. It's just that this wall is not so much a wall as a pile of concrete that is 40 meters thick, and it is too hard. I hit it more than a dozen times in a row, but there was no movement.
As the potholes were all blown up, the water level in the small lake was getting lower and lower, and soon it was less than twenty meters.
Perhaps knowing that he couldn't break through this particular earthen wall, the demon shark suddenly jumped into the dry riverbed behind it. It's just that it struggles in a pile of sludge because it has long been drained. Away from the water source, there is no difference between this troll that has turned over the river and the sea, and a fish that has been swept up on the beach by the waves.
After jumping for a while, the Demon Shark finally jumped back to its original position and began to hit the earthen wall again.
It wasted its time by messing around just now.
In the cage, it doesn't understand that there is only one way for it to live.
The water level of the lake is only half of its original level, and the potholes that connect to the bottom of the lake are still sparse, and a few of them have simply formed small waterfalls.
By this time, even a fool could see Richard's plan.
Staying behind Richard, Audrey, who could only watch the play, had folded her hands and began to pray silently.
For the sake of that damn bet, she actually began to pray for the fate of the demon shark, hoping that it would immediately break through its restraints and swim into the Campas River behind.
Damn bastards. Staring at Richard's back, Audrey cursed in a low voice.
The crowd staring at this side from a distance suddenly fell silent.
Seeing that Richard had turned a lake into a fishing pit and set a trap for the demon shark, they suddenly couldn't believe their eyes.
At the top of the high hill, Old Man Safin couldn't help but sigh.
"Sure enough, having inherited that person's bloodline, this guy was able to come up with such a method. ”
Grant, the fire dragon beside him, also stared at the lake with round eyes, "Amazing, really powerful......
As for Nordron, who originally looked down on Richard, his face was full of the word "uniform".
"What the hell does he think?"
Curiously, he said to the two people beside him, "My father of oaks, this is actually a method of fishing. How did he think of using this trick to deal with that devil, and he was almost successful......"
"Now, it doesn't seem like that's the same thing. Archipad was equally surprised, "We can't say he's succeeded until the devil is really trapped to death." ”
"I can say that now, I'm sure. Nordren, the young druid sage, seemed to be a fan of Richard at the moment, "As a druid, I understand what that demon shark is all about. If the lake is really drained, it can't survive. ”
Some looked tiredly at their injured legs.
"If I had known that he had come to such a move, I should not have gone down. Now, it's a shame. When people talk about it in the future, I'm going to be a stepping stone. ”
That being said, Nordren's face was not a little annoyed, as if he was still honored.
It can be seen that although he is young and frivolous, he at least has some measurements, and he is not the kind of person who can't afford to lose.
John, the sword beside them, drew his sword at this time, stroked the snow-white blade, and said silently, "Maybe this is heredity, he is a descendant of that person after all." ”
And not far away, they heard the rumors of the people around them, but the Parthian prince could not believe his eyes.
"He really wants to hunt this monster?"
He couldn't help but look at his teacher.
"What should we do now, Nurman, that unsuccessful fellow, I heard that he has been recruiting troops everywhere for the past two days, and he hasn't come back yet. When the time comes, it can't be said that this matter has been done by someone else. ”
Master Tuya's gaze was very deep.
"Now, I'm afraid, it's not the time to think about it, but there are more important things. ”
He pointed to the lake in front of him and said to the prince very seriously, "What can you see from here?"
Parthia looked surprised.
Master Tuya sighed deeply, and stopped selling Guanzi, "This means that someone can do what you can only do with wisdom." ”
"Hunting monsters comparable to dragons is only qualified for the top powerhouses. ”
"For ten thousand peasants with hoes cannot defeat a knight with a sword!"
"And what is he doing now?"
In the end, the old man sighed deeply, "Human wisdom can be so terrifying!"
Parthia was also taken aback.
He understood the old man's words.
Indeed, Richard did this, I am afraid that the symbolism is greater than its actual meaning.
Whether it's sprinkling salted fish foam at the beginning, or setting up an ambush with a small lake later. No matter how big or small, these things are similar, and that is that they don't have a threshold. Knights can do it, and so can farmers. Whether you are a warrior who can fight dragons, or a farmer who only has a hoe and can't read big characters, you can do it, just because it takes a lot of time.
Although Richard also used some magic scrolls, that wasn't the point. Because of the efficacy of these scrolls, they can be completely replaced by human power.
The Parthian prince was shocked.
The power of the aristocracy was based on strong force. A person who knows how to drive elemental power can easily defeat hundreds of times the number of enemies. But here, everything seems to be the other way around.
Quantity seems to trump quality.
At least what Richard did, they failed one by one.
Thankfully, his wisdom comes from his bloodline. ”
The Parthian prince now believed in Richard's identity, and only the son of that duke could have such a terrifying mind.
At this moment, if Richard's exact identity is told to him, it is estimated that His Royal Highness the prince's expression must be very exciting.
In the end, the demon shark still didn't break through the dirt wall.
When the water in the small lake behind it was only about five or six meters deep, it only fluttered.
This nearly 100-ton giant beast, at the last moment of its life, used its power frantically. A stream of water forms an elemental shark, detached from the small lake, and blasts wildly around it.
It's a pity that this group of elemental creations with excellent anti-magic abilities can't do anything.
They can't blow up the earthen wall, they can't help it get back into the river, they can't even stop the flow of water.
This was also taken into account by Richard.
After testing, even if the demon shark found the crater at the bottom and used the mirrors as plugs, the water would still be able to pass through their bodies.
In order to prevent the pothole from being blocked, Richard deliberately arranged it so that his eggs could not be put in one basket.
When the lake was about to dry up, the demon shark was desperate like a goldfish that had been jumped out of the tank, constantly churning in the sludge.
Water scarcity is not a big problem yet.
Lack of oxygen is the fatal wound.
Richard's last few experiments showed that after being polluted by elemental power, these monsters in the water could not grow any special organs that allowed them to breathe air directly. Even for this aspect of tolerance, these magical beasts are only limited in strength, and they are only comparable to the strongest individuals of the original species.
Without water, they will die quickly.
At the last moment, even the people watching the battle from afar were feeling sorry for this demon shark.
A fierce beast that can fight dragons turned out to be such an aggrieved way of death in the end.
It's just a joke.
A ridiculously true joke!
And looking at his masterpiece, Richard also sighed.
At this moment, he was finally sure that he could make a difference in this world.
