Chapter 128: Battle of the Clouds (2)
"I'm limited right now, if I want to make a flashbangβ"
"At least three, one is definitely not enough, and more may be needed if the brightness is not enough." Wood interrupted the little kid anxiously.
"Three, you're going to have to delay a little longer." Without saying a word, the little kid began to extract the magic patterns from the bullets, "Any of you who has a slate, an iron plate, anything that can be loaded on a plate, give me a few big pieces." β
Everyone looked left and right for a while, and then focused their eyes on the fat man, who looked constipated, took out two hexagonal stone slabs, and was snatched by the black wind and thrown to the little boy.
"With super light, two plates should be fine, but the amount of magic patterns on the bullet is too small, and my strength has not fully recovered," the little boy has already begun to engrave the peeled magic patterns on the stone slab, "It may take about three hours." β
"I'll tell my sister and brother." Wood nodded, ready to go to the cockpit, and then added, "You'd better get your positioned, it may take a bit of flying skill to get away from the nocturnal aphid." β
Wood trotted to the cockpit and told the Wan siblings about the situation, and the two of them patted their chests and assured them that they couldn't do anything else, and that the flying skills felt they could trust them.
"So Brother Wood, what the hell is a night aphid?" Xiao Man couldn't help but ask.
"One of the dangerous species in The Tale of Gaia Sky is a large swarm of insects that only appear at night, and generally only absorbs starlight and moonlight as nutrients above the clouds." Wood stared at the approaching black insect cloud in the crystal screen, and said quickly, "This insect swarm is extremely phototaxis, and at the same time, it will also track the residual heat marks in the air, which is extremely difficult to get rid of. β
"So they may not be dangerous to traditional magical airships, but it just so happens that mechanically thermally powered airships become their prey." Xiao Man reacted very quickly.
"That's right, in fact, this is also an important reason why mechanical airboats have been eliminated in long-distance transportation in recent centuries."
"Brother Wood, they're getting closer and closer, and it's estimated that they'll catch up in another half an hour." The boy stared at the load gauge of the power engine while constantly looking at the crystal screen.
"They also have a special way of attacking, and that'sβ"
Before Wood could finish speaking, he saw countless black dots in the black cloud approaching at explosive speed, and Xiao Tong hurriedly shouted: "The left rudder is turning sharply!" β
Xiao Man also yelled at the same time: "Hold it steady!" With his right foot slamming on the pedal, the steering wheel in his hand went straight to the left of the 360-degree spin, Wood was thrown off suddenly, and he hit the metal wall headlong, and the right half of his glasses were directly shattered, and he had to buy a new one when he came back.
"Ahem, that attack is to self-detonate and accelerate, nailing your head to the light source, ouch, it hurts." Wood stood up with his head propped up, looked at his shattered glasses, and asked, "Do you have a lookout behind your airship?" β
"We only have the open deck above," the boy flicked the pressure relief valve in a panic, and after checking the meter, he turned to Wood and asked, "Brother Wood is going to-huh?" What about people? β
Wood returned to the lounge to find a group of people who had just gotten up from the ground, "Hua Ye, can you still use a gun?" β
"Uh, it should work, what just happened?"
"Come with me to the deck." Wood stretched out his hard wooden prosthetic leg, grabbed Hua Ye and walked out," he said. β
...
"It's too windy! I'll bring goggles first! Hua Ye shrank back as soon as he showed his head, and the high-speed air flow made his eyelids flip upside down.
"I'll use Fujiman to fix it for you, and then you use the magic bomb to help us delay a little time."
"That's all money!" These five words were blown away by the strong wind, Wood didn't hear them at all, and even Hua Ye himself doubted whether he said them, and then he was fixed on the deck by Wood's vine man who extended his magic prosthetic, and he was relieved to use the safety rope to buckle on the deck handrail.
Then he saw the breathtaking black clouds, and even the wind was so strong that he could hear the terrifying humming of the clouds.
There are less than fifty magic bombs, and that kind of explosion is just a simple explosion, the brightness of the fire is limited, and it feels difficult to hold it for three hours, no matter what, try it.
After Hua Ye carefully felt the wind speed, he fired a shot tentatively, and the bullet was swallowed by the black cloud in an instant, and not a trace of light leaked out.
But it was clear that the insect cloud in the head position had a brief pause, and it seemed to have some effect.
After firing a few more shots in multiple directions, Hua Ye took a deep breath and fired three bullets at intervals of seconds to the left, and then there were bursts of rhythmic explosion light, and a black snake wriggled out of the large black insect cloud following the continuous explosion flash, this behavior also effectively delayed the speed of the insect cloud, and in the blink of an eye, the airship threw off the distance.
But if it were that easy to get rid of nocturnal aphids, they wouldn't deserve to be called a dangerous species.
The black insect cloud became even more frantic after being induced by the little light of the magic bomb several times in a row, and more bugs began to explode and shoot in the direction of the airship.
As soon as he saw the head of the insect approaching at high speed, the airboat began to make all kinds of extreme actions, throwing off Hua Ye who was exposed, and he didn't know where the southeast and northwest were in the sky and the earth, but he still stared at the direction where the insect swarm was coming, and used the magic explosion bomb to delay the pursuit of the insect swarm.
Back in the cab, Wood struggled to look at the crystal screen through the remaining intact lens, as if he was looking for something.
After a while, Wood secretly said that something was wrong in his heart, and when he was about to take a closer look, the little boy shouted, "It's about to enter the clouds, everyone, hurry up!" β
The turbulent air flow in the clouds made the airboat shake violently, in this case, Hua Ye could not reload the bullets, and the vision was lost due to the clouds, and Hua Ye drilled back after emptying the last few magic bombs with the last impression.
"How's it going?" Hua Ye came in and asked, with a flying hairstyle.
"Just made one, the second one is estimated to be a little slower." The little kid gasped for breath with a milky voice, and seemed to have a great deal of consumption.
"I'll take this out and use it first." Hua Ye took the first stone slab, and the dense golden magic patterns on it looked like a symbol of the sun at first glance, and the center was faintly emitting a faint golden light.
"This is the strongest brightness that my current ability can seal, just break that black part and throw it out when you use it, remember, don't look at it, or you'll be blind."
Hua Ye nodded, ready to go to the cockpit to inquire about the situation, but he ran head-on into the panicked Wood, and almost knocked off the stone slab in his hand.
"Huge bad news, this swarm has a mother."
