Chapter 181: Changes Under the Night
The steam train listened all day on the scorched earth plains, and despite many attempts by Sululu and the mechanics, they never found a way to rush through the cracks on the tracks.
And after the car released by Sululu tried it himself, everyone clearly saw that the car was not in any danger along the tracks.
But when the car approaches the section of track that is located in the crack, a strange flame rises from the crack.
The car spontaneously combusted in an instant, and just like that, in front of everyone's eyes, it was burned to ashes and fell into the cracks below.
After the ashes of the cart fell into the crack, the flames inside the crack seemed to rise for a moment, but then calmed again.
Seeing the sight of the cart being engulfed in flames, Suluru and the others all knew that it was no longer feasible to force their way through that section of the track.
At this time, Shirley suddenly said, "Do you think that in fact, this plain is like a burned paper?"
After listening to Shirley's words, everyone on the steam train looked at Shirley a little strangely, and seemed to not understand what Shirley meant.
However, the rabbit quickly came to his senses, jumped on the lookout on the roof of the car, and glanced around.
The rabbit returned to the carriage with some horror, looked at everyone and said, "Really, really like a piece of paper that hasn't burned out." ”
Sululu also understood what the rabbit and Shirley meant, so he explained it to everyone.
A piece of paper placed on a flame that is not very high, the paper does not burn directly, but first carbonizes.
The carbonized paper does not seem to burn, but in fact, it only needs a little help to burn the paper instantly.
Right now, the whole scorched earth plain is like this, like a piece of paper that has been carbonized.
With a little help, the paper will burn instantly, and the rising flames will swallow everything on the paper.
Speaking of this, Sululu said with a solemn expression: "The car sent out before actually gave a little help to the scorched earth, and in the process of driving, the friction between the wheels and the ground naturally rubbed out the sparks, and those sparks also caused the scorched earth to be rekindled, and as a result, the car and everyone in the car became the firewood of this scorched earth." ”
After listening to Sululu's explanation, everyone present was surprised, and they all looked at each other and didn't know what to say?
After a long time, the gentleman king asked, "Then master, what are we going to do now?"
Hearing this, Sululu fell silent, then lowered his head and muttered, "Judging from the current situation, those cracks are even more terrifying, and they will be ignited directly if they are touched. ”
After a pause, Suluru added, "The Scorched Earth Plains will not be ignited immediately, but once there is friction or assistance, it will also be rekindled. ”
Shirley suddenly interjected, "In that case, we just don't step into those scorched earth." ”
Thor the big barbarian said, "Yes, but in that case, we'll have to turn around and go back." ”
Shirley actually wanted to pick up directly, "Then let's turn around and go back together."
But seeing Sululu's gaze, Shirley swallowed back the words that came to her lips again, and did not dare to answer like that.
In fact, most of the people in the carriage felt that there was no point in continuing on, and most of them felt that they should turn back.
For them, the northern part of Dragon City was now a scorched earth, and it was obvious that it had been occupied by evil gods.
Even if there are those who survive, I'm afraid it will be a long way away from Dragon City.
It is not worth it to continue on the scorched earth plains in search of such a foothold, to endure the suffering that may be suffered at any time.
It's just that for Suluru, he still wants to be able to move on, he wants to find a foothold that has not been eroded by evil energy.
It will be the forward station for Dragon City's retreat when Dragon City can't hold it.
It could also become a transit point for Sululu to travel north in the future.
In short, it seems to Suluru that such a foothold on the scorched earth plains is important.
The current situation is indeed very bad, and the difficulties in moving forward are there.
Sululu thought about it, but in the end he could only say: "That's it, let's rest in place for the night, and if we think of a way tomorrow, we will go back." ”
Hearing Sululu say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including the rabbit, in fact, everyone was worried that Sululu would not be calm.
Now seeing Sululu's unusually calm, everyone is relieved and returns to their respective posts according to Sululu's orders.
The steam train stopped in the scorched earth wilderness, silently waiting for night to fall, waiting for the dawn of tomorrow.
At dusk, when the sun sets, many people gather on the roof of the carriage to enjoy the rare peace.
The sunset at dusk spills over the plains, and the warm and pleasant low-hanging sun contrasts with the scorched plains.
Sululu also stood on the lookout from the front of the car, staring at the section of railroad tracks that hung over the cracks.
At this point, he was still unwilling to give up, hoping to find a way to rush through that section and drive farther into the plains.
As the sun gradually set, as night fell, Sululu vaguely saw that the crack had suddenly closed.
Surprised to see the crack close, Suluru waved his hand and threw out a light ball.
The ball of light streaked through a curtain of light in the night, and fell directly to the place where the previous crack was.
To Suluru's surprise, the ball of light did not fall directly into the crack and burn as expected.
The ball of light fell from the rails like that, and it happened to land on the previous crack, and this time it was clear that the crack had really closed.
After receiving this discovery, Sululu immediately gathered everyone and asked everyone to come to the front of the car to watch.
Seeing that wonderful scene, everyone was shocked, and they didn't expect this to be the result at all.
And Sululu directly ordered: "Okay, hurry up and drive, let's move on, let's go forward at night." ”
This time, there was no objection, and the steam train quickly started and slowly headed forward.
When the train passed the section of the track that was overhanging the crack, it passed through that section without any problems, and it passed very smoothly.
At night, the train quickly pushed forward, constantly running on the scorched earth plains.
However, as the train was moving, the scorched earth plains seemed to be affected by the vibrations of the train.
The scorched earth on the plain was gradually lifted, and strange figures turned out from under the scorched earth.
Seeing the train running on the plains, the guys who had turned out from under the scorched earth, there seemed to be a kind of anger in their eyes.
"Roaring ......" rang out with a roar, and the roar instantly resounded throughout the plain, one after another as if informing each other.
Sululu climbed onto the lookout once more, and lowered his goggles to look at the eerie figures on the scorched earth plains.
After a while, Sululu ordered in a deep voice: "The whole army is ready to meet the enemy, the evil creatures are about to attack us, all of them are ready to meet the enemy." (To be continued.) )
