204. Even if there is a legacy that has been hit hard
After returning to the spherical airship, Qingshi said confidently: "I have thought of a way to cross the river, there should be no problem." ”
"What's the situation?" Chen Tianye asked.
"Brother Qi and I have tried," Qingshi said with a smile, "Those sea spirit biaos are indeed powerful, but they only operate in the river, and they will not chase after them like ghost bats and bone spur demon wolves." We'll just rush over it, and the airship's defenses should be able to sustain this distance. ”
"And what about after crossing the river?" Chen Tianye continued to ask, "There is no defense over there?" ”
"There must be," said Aoishi, "but it should be found in the more central area, and it seems that there is no one on the bank of the river." Let's get over it first. ”
"Qingshi is right," Duan Wutian said, "the first time we pretended that the wind blew down the trees and threw a broken branch across the river, and the second time I shot a flying spear directly at it, but there was no response on both occasions. ”
Seeing Qingshi and Duan Wutian say this, Chen Tianye and Xiang An were also relieved.
Qingshi has seen the power of water arrows, and knows that although water arrows are powerful, they can definitely withstand it with the defensive power of the airship, as long as they are not shot hundreds at the same time or are shot continuously for more than half an hour, they should be able to hold up.
Although Qingshi thought that with the defensive ability of the spherical airship, it could completely resist Hai Lingbiao's water arrows, he still did not choose to rush directly over.
Qingshi arranged two strategies, one is to divert the tiger from the mountain, in the selected river crossing point to the right of a hundred zhang, bluestone shook off the main trunk veins of a huge ancient tree, and then waited for the storm to blow the big tree down in the river, when the nearby Hai Lingbiao was attracted by the big tree that fell into the river, it was the best time to cross the river.
The second strategy is to take out a blimp in the worst condition, and then let a puppet pilot the airship to attract firepower, sacrificing an airship and a puppet in exchange for the safety of the spherical airship, which Aoshi thinks is worth it.
After all, in the next expedition, the spherical airship may play more roles, to make it as little damage as possible, bluestone does not have more dark iron steel to build another one.
The plan went well, and when a gust of wind knocked down the tree, the river exploded.
Bluestone immediately released a decoy airship to fly out of the forest and rush into the sky over the river, and at the same time, the spherical airship also rushed to the opposite bank.
Qingshi tried his best to make the airship fly at an extreme altitude, about two feet higher than the height of the canopy, and sure enough, those sea spirits couldn't jump to such a high height to attack the airship with their bodies and flippers, they could only attack with water arrows.
As soon as the puppet airship used as bait flew into the middle of the river, it was shot by a water arrow and fell into the river in two sections. The spherical airship, on the other hand, withstood less than a tenth of the water arrows, and flew over the river almost unscathed, into the forest on the opposite bank.
Seeing that the plan was successful, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
At this moment, with the help of a lightning bolt in the sky, Qingshi found that there was a circular depression in the canopy not far ahead, and through the sparse branches and leaves around the circular depression, it could be seen that there was a black tower three zhang high and six feet thick below, and the black tower was located in the center of a dark golden metal disc with a diameter of about ten zhang. Bluestone found that the black tower was not standing upright but pointing at him crookedly, and there was a black round hole at the top of the thick tower.
"What's that?" Xiang An obviously also found out, and asked by pointing over there.
Is that? Cannon!
Before the thought could react, the black muzzle flashed, and with a loud bang, a black cannonball with a diameter of more than a foot erupted and shot towards the airship.
Bluestone only had time to steer the airship to the left, and the terrifying cannonball had already hit the seemingly non-existent spherical airship.
There was a deafening bang, black cannonballs exploded violently, and the spherical airship flew upside down like a ball hit by an iron rod, and flew across the river in an arc, smashing down the forest on the east bank.
The spherical airship, which had been shaped and shaped, flew back to the east bank, and its speed was faster than it had previously rushed towards the west bank with all its might, so much so that it dodged most of the water arrows as it flew over the river.
It visibly lost control, spun wildly and broke the branches of several large trees, before slamming into the ground and rolling forward a few more feet until it hit the trunk of a large tree.
And this final impact not only knocked down the tree, but also completely disintegrated the spherical airship made of dark iron and steel, spilling broken and deformed pipe fittings and four sandbag-like human bodies.
The wind and rain were still there, and without the protection of the airship's energy wall membrane and armor protective aura, the four people lying in the mud were covered with muddy water, motionless, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
After a long time, Qingshi sat up a little more slowly, looked at himself, and found that the two meridians were damaged, and all the internal organs were injured, but it was not serious, mainly because of the dizziness of the head.
As for the torso and limbs, there were also several wounds, which were all cut-off skin wounds and were not worth mentioning.
Qingshi took out a healing pill and swallowed it, looked around, and saw that in the muddy water a few feet away, Xiang An had already sat up humming, followed by Duan Wutian, who also sat up, only Chen Tianye was still lying on his back in the muddy water with his back to the sky and motionless.
Seeing Xiang An and Duan Wutian dealing with their injuries while swallowing the pill, Qingshi asked, "Old Xiang, Seventh Brother, how are you two?" ”
"Can't die!" Xiang An only replied simply, obviously seriously injured and reluctant to speak more.
"I'm fine!" Duan Wutian said, "There are no fractures or broken meridians, the main thing is that the internal organs are shocked and the skull is stunned." ”
Several people had the most vigorous bodies in the middle, and it seemed that the injuries were the lightest. Although Qingshi was seriously injured, his recovery ability was the strongest. Xiang An seems to be not lightly injured, but his life is fine. Only Chen Tianye seems to be worried about whether he is alive or dead.
Duan Wutian wanted to get up to check on Chen Tianye's situation, but he couldn't lift his energy for a while, and couldn't help shouting: "Old Chen! Lao Chen! ”
There was no movement.
Duan Wutian was anxious and shouted loudly, "Are you dead?" Feed! You can't make a move...... You can't die! Lao Tzu will not allow you to die...... Aren't you striking? ...... Bearded...... Good brother......" The voice was already crying.
"Shut up!" Chen Tianye's voice sounded low, but his body still didn't move, "Lao Tzu is not dead yet, what the hell are you mourning!" ”
"You're not dead!" Duan Wutian burst into tears and laughed, "I thought you had a burp!" Hahaha...... Ouch ......"
A quarter of an hour later, Qingshi stood up, walked to Chen Tianye's side first, stretched out his hand on his shoulder to probe his injuries, and found that he had broken three bones and two meridians, but he had already used his True Qi to connect all the broken points, and the reason why he lay on the ground without moving and not speaking was because his healing techniques were different.
Qingshi saw that his injury was far less serious than he imagined, and immediately fed him the best healing pill, as an alchemist and a great tyrant, his healing pill was naturally much better than Chen Tianye.
Qingshi went back to check Xiang An's body and found that he was more seriously injured, so he immediately fed him a healing pill, and then asked Xiaopang to take him back to the egg house.
After dealing with Chen Xiang and the others, Duan Wutian actually stood up.
Qingshi looked around, jumped on a giant tree more than ten feet high, waved his hand and released a small airship with a shed, set it up on two thick branches, and then took out eighteen array flags and inserted them on the branches of the big tree to surround the boat.
Duan Wutian saw that the bluestone was almost arranged, and picked up Chen Tianye and launched the flying armor to jump up.
The three of them entered the dinghy and worked hard to recover from their injuries. Bluestone launched a hidden array formed by the array flag, and soon, the array flag and the dinghy slowly became transparent, and finally disappeared into the dense branches and leaves of the tree trunk.
Soon, night began to fall, and the dimly lit forest grew darker, and the wind and rain began to lighten.
......
When the first rays of sunlight shone into the forest, Qingshi slowly closed his work and opened his eyes.
The wind and rain have long stopped, the air in the forest is fresh and humid, the sun shines through the leaves and sprinkles in a little golden spot, the whole forest seems quiet and beautiful, only the slightest evil breath that wafts from time to time makes the forest lack the birds and insects, and lack some vitality.
Under the repair of the powerful vitality of the Five Elements True Qi, the injuries of the bluestone internal organs and meridians have healed, and the broken ribs have also healed by half.
Seeing that Duan Wutian and Chen Tianye were still exercising their skills to heal their injuries, Qingshi didn't bother them, and he frowned and began to reflect.
Soon, Duan Wutian got up and stretched his body, and when he saw Qingshi bowing his head and pondering, he came over and sat down, took out two pots of wine and handed one to Qingshi, and said with a smile: "The stone has recovered faster than me!" Awesome, what's the worry about? Drink! ”
Qingshi took a sip of the wine jug, and said with a smile: "It's still the seventh brother who is powerful, and he hasn't been hurt at all." ”
"That's it!" Duan Wutian said proudly, "Where can my steel and iron bones be compared to Xiang Bai'er, haha......"
"What's the matter?" Chen Tianye opened his eyes and said, "You are just thick skin and rough flesh that can withstand beating, and you have not been tempered by my constant beating for decades!" ”
"That was before," Duan Wutian was not annoyed, and said with a grin, "How many punches can you take from your brother with your small body now?" ”
Seeing that Chen Tianye was also much better, Qingshi's mood relaxed a little, and asked, "Amano, how are you recovering?" Do you want to take another healing pill? ”
"I won't eat the healing pill," Chen Tianye also sat down and said with a smile, "What is there better healing medicine than wine!" After speaking, he snatched Duan Wutian's wine jug and poured it up.
Qingshi sighed and said, "It's all my fault this time, it's me who is too self-righteous, so that I made a mistake in judgment and hurt everyone." ”
"What does the stone say!" Duan Wutian said, "If it weren't for the strong enough birdcage you invented, I'm afraid we would have really finished playing." ”
"Yes, Qingshi," Chen Tianye also said, "We all know that there is danger in front of us, but no one can predict what the specific danger is." It is certain to encounter danger, and to be able to survive it is the ability. You have no merit, so why blame yourself? ”
Hearing the two good brothers talk like this, Qingshi felt a little better in his heart.
"We seem to have been hit by a cannon, right?" Duan Wutian grabbed his bald head and said, "What kind of cannon is this, why is it so powerful?" ”
Qingshi and Chen Tianye both shook their heads.
Qingshi and Chen Tianye had indeed never seen such a cannon, and the cannons of the Tianlong Continent were either energy cannons that used spirit stones as energy sources, or stone cannons that used machine springs as power.
There are pros and cons to both types of cannons, the energy cannon is hugely powerful, but it takes a long time to recharge each shot. It is very terrifying for the consumption of spirit stones, and the technology is complex and expensive, and its service life is very short, the more powerful the energy cannon, the shorter its lifespan, and there are often examples of energy cannons blowing themselves up after only a few shots.
Stone cannons are trebuchets that can shoot or catapult stone and iron cannonballs, and of course, their power is too far away from that of energy cannons. Moreover, it has low accuracy and a slower firing speed than energy cannons, so it can only be used to attack large targets that cannot be moved, such as city walls. However, it has the advantage of being inexpensive and durable.
The shelling of the bluestone was fired in a blasting manner, and its shells exploded. On the Tianlong Continent, there is no such cannon, and there is no such cannonball.
It hits extremely accurately, fires extremely fast, and is not much more powerful than an energy cannon. It's really a powerful killer.
In Qingshi's opinion, this cannon is very similar to the cannon on the earth, and it must be more powerful in terms of power, but Qingshi knows that it is different.
Although this unknown cannon will also roar and flash when fired, and the same is true when the cannonball explodes, Bluestone can clearly see that this flash is not the explosive fire of gunpowder, but more like the energy flash when the energy cannon is fired.
Qingshi couldn't answer Duan Wutian's question, but he kept thinking about it.
Seeing that everyone was basically fine, Qingshi contacted Xiang An in the egg house and asked him to come out if he recovered better, and everyone discussed it together.
