Chapter 127: Battle of the Clouds (1)
"Is Emia really that grand?" Xiao Tong Xiaoman listened to Xinqiu's nonsense that couldn't be beaten, and kept asking, at first Hua Ye and Wood kept correcting her mistakes, and finally she went when she was really tired.
"That wall is so high! A person as powerful as me would have to climb for a day and a night to reach the top! ”
"I heard that it is the capital of giant beasts, is there really a big monster in it?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Extraordinarily Big! One foot can squash us! It's just the size of the gate! ”
"Wow wow! It's scary! ”
After listening to Xinqiu's mindless introduction to Aemia City, the siblings' airboat gradually began to become the focus of everyone's attention.
"To be honest, many of the structures of this airship are still in the theoretical part and lack of verification." Xiao Man finished speaking with a straight face, and seeing that the other people's faces didn't seem to be very good, he immediately added, "Ahem, these experimental parts won't have any effect on the flight process, such as the cloud dispersal module or something." ”
"The biggest improvement this time is my improved fuel boiler!" Xiao Tong walked out of the cockpit, "Sister, it's your turn to drive, I'll tell you, hehehe." ”
Xiao Man obviously wanted to introduce more about the airboat, and left reluctantly.
Even if the size of the airship is doubled as before, the cockpit can only accommodate three people at most, and then the middle part is the common room and activity room, and the remaining two small rooms are toilets and spare warehouses.
"The biggest advantage of the mechanical airboat is that the power system will not be interfered with by external magic, and it can use a lot of anti-magic materials, especially metal, and at the same time, it can greatly improve the structural strength of the airship, I think Brother Wood should be able to understand."
"That's right, most of the common materials used for magic airships are made of wood and magic ores, these materials are very compatible with magic, and can apply a large number of magic circles or other spells on them, but because most of them are too large in size, and the consumption of maintaining a high level of magic is also very amazing, protracted warfare has always been the weakness of traditional airships." Wood nodded.
"Moreover, the nature of traditional magic materials also determines that the airship itself is very fragile, and it will inevitably be seriously damaged once it is hit directly."
"Yes, most of the high-strength and toughness metal materials tend to have poor magical compatibility, and are only used for necessary connections on traditional airboats, in fact, you can also get a glimpse of the reason from the daily wear and equipment of our magicians." Woodra tugged at the green robes on her body.
"Oh, really! When you say that, I have noticed that most of the magicians wear robes, and most of the weapons they use are wooden staffs, and most of the metal tools are Mithril magic gold or something. Xiao Tong had a look of sudden realization.
The two of them looked at me and said a word, discussing magic materials and high-strength metal materials fiercely, giving everyone a lesson in the airboat and materials at the same time, and the little kid woke up and could still express his opinions between the two of them from time to time, which made everyone admire.
...
The sleeping crowd was suddenly shaken off the bed by a violent shaking, and then the dazed crowd heard Xiao Man's voice from the loudspeaker: "There is a very strange black cloud due west, please come to the cockpit to identify it." ”
The violent shaking just now was caused by the emergency braking of the empty boat, because it had never been activated so quickly after so many days of driving, and this sudden use was obviously not in place.
"What's wrong?" Wood leaned on his glasses and huddled among the little vines, looking out through the glass.
It was still dark outside, and above the thin clouds was a deep starry sky and a crescent moon, and the night sky that was supposed to be a dark blue in front of it was shrouded in a huge black cloud.
This black cloud is very strange as Xiao Man said, different from ordinary clouds, the moonlight and starlight do not reflect a trace of light, as if all the light has been swallowed.
The boy looked at Wood without saying a word, looked puzzled, put his hand on a switch in front of him, and said, "Why don't I turn on the light." ”
"Don't!" Wood was shocked, but still a second too late.
As soon as the boy turned on the light, two huge pillars of light pierced through the night and shone on the black cloud, and when he heard Wood's shout, he was so frightened that he quickly turned off the light.
"Hurry up and retreat! It's best to wear it under the clouds! Hurry up! Wood shouted.
Xiao Man didn't say a word, and operated neatly, and the airboat suddenly stopped from the slow taxiing, and then quickly turned around, and flew backwards and downwards without looking back.
"Brother Wood, what's that black cloud?" The little boy swallowed and assisted his sister in controlling the airship.
"I haven't confirmed it, but I think it's likely to be a night aphid." Wood's speed quickened, "Do you have a rearview light curtain here?" ”
"Yes, yes, I'll call it out!" The boy immediately pulled out a crystal mirror from the side, and then showed the scene behind it.
"It's... They're moving! Xiao Tong looked at the black cloud in the mirror in the shape of a big black stripe and was startled, "Still chasing us!" ”
Wood stared at the crystal mirror for a moment and asked, "Does your powertrain glow?" ”
Seeing that Xiao Tong didn't react, Xiao Man immediately answered: "That's right, we rely on fuel to provide most of the power, and there will be a fire at the tail, and the fire should not be small when accelerating now." ”
"Do you have flashbangs or anything like that?"
"Well, there are no flashbangs, just some conventional weapons, and the amount is not very large." Little Boy came back to his senses, "Brother Wood, you said they were... Chasing the light of the night aphid? What's that? ”
"It's too late to explain, you guys speed up first and see if you can get rid of these things, I'll go find Hua Ye." Wood walked briskly out of the cab and back to the lounge.
Before everyone could ask what was going on, Wood walked directly to Hua Ye's bed and asked loudly, "Do you have any flashbangs?" The brighter the better, and the more the merrier. ”
"Huh? What? Flashbangs? What do you want that thing for? Hua Ye obviously hadn't woken up yet, and the violent shaking just now hadn't interrupted his sleep.
"We've been chased by a bunch of light-chasing night aphids," Wood paused, then turned to the fat man and asked, "Fat man, you have a lot of weird things, you must have brought flashbangs or something, right?" ”
The fat man's face was not good the moment he heard the light chasing night aphid, obviously he also knew what it was, and immediately began to rummage in his small pocket to see if there was anything useful, "No... No, I don't. ”
"Who else among you has something that emits a bright light? The kind to be thrown out! Wood held his chin and said anxiously.
"Is it okay to shine? I can help you. The little kid wiped his nose and crawled out from behind Xinqiu's bed, "Which of you brought a magic prop?" ”
With great reluctance, Hua Ye took out a large number of bullets with magic patterns.
"Although they are not expensive, you asked me to take out such a large handful," Hua Ye grinned and chirped crookedly, "If it is useless, you two will wait for me!" ”
