Chapter 473: Elemental Storm

At this time, outside the airship, not only the dark clouds covered the top, the wind was fierce, but the top of the airship was even more lightning and thunder, and the rolling dark clouds condensed out of thin air blue electric snakes, opening their teeth and dancing claws like bursts of dull thunder.

What's even stranger is that in addition to lightning and thunder, clouds of fire and hail also fell under the dark clouds, intertwined with lightning, and it looked like a harbinger of doom.

Thunder, fire, and hail smashed on the airship, and although it was blocked by layers of defensive alchemy, there was also a deafening sound, and the airship's cabin also shook.

"Wouldn't it be even more dangerous if we broke away now?" Seeing that the environment outside was so bad, Hu Bing asked with some puzzlement.

"But if we don't get out of this airship, what awaits us will be a plane crash, and we will have a better chance of surviving if we escape separately. Gu Ming said expressionlessly.

"But the problem is, many of us here don't have flying mounts, and if we are separated, won't the others be certain to die?" shouted Meng Xue, a sapper.

"I don't want to die...... Ma Tao and Wu Minghua both trembled, with expressions that didn't know how to be haode.

"Gu Ming, is there really no other way?" Liu Xiaoyu stepped forward and asked.

"It's the only way. Gu Ming replied expressionlessly.

At this moment, there was another violent shaking of the airship, and the entire fuselage was slightly tilted to the left, and it was estimated that if it continued like this, it would not last long.

"Damn, are we going to be like this?" Hu Bing slammed his fist on the seat.

"From now on, those with flying mounts will gather at the door of the cabin to prepare to disengage, and as for how to distribute it, it's up to you. Seeing that everyone had nothing to say, Gu Ming made a decision ruthlessly.

"Gu Ming, wait. "Suddenly. Zhao Nan called out to him.

Gu Ming was stunned for a moment and looked back at him and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Zhao Nan smiled and said, "I'm thinking, maybe I can find a way for everyone to leave safely." Because if it weren't for this airship, I guess flying in this elemental storm wouldn't have been able to safely reach the coordinates required by the GM event, wouldn't it be possible to safely reach the coordinates required by the GM event? ”

"You mean to keep this airship?" Gu Ming asked.

"Yes, even if we escape alone, we have to resist the elemental storm in the sky, rather than that. It's better for everyone to just hold the airship. Zhao Nan continued.

"That's right, Brother Zhao Nan is right, as long as we hold the airship and block the attack of the elemental storm, maybe we can do it. Mu Frozen said.

"But. The airship is so large that it is impossible to do it all. I think Gu Ming also took this into consideration, right?" Shi Qingqing said with some concern.

Gu Ming nodded and said, "Of course, this is within the scope of consideration. Otherwise, we would not have made the decision to abandon the airship. ”

"But if you focus on defending some of the important equipment on the airship, it should be possible, right? After all, we have 20 players here. Zhao Nan asked.

Hearing this, Gu Ming obviously fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Su Xiaomei's voice came from behind Gu Ming, "I think Zhao Nan's proposal is good." ”

"Are you sure? It's a big risk. Yao Xing and Su Xiaomei stood side by side. Hearing her say this, Yao Xing couldn't help frowning.

"But Zhao Nan's words are also very reasonable, if we can't hold this airship, then we don't have the ability to go to the event destination alone. Even if some of us can get there, what will we do when the event starts? You know, the enemy we're going to face is probably that big bastard Gruda. Su Xiaomei said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, everyone expressed their support for Su Xiaomei's decision.

Gu Ming opened his eyes at this time and said, "Just do what Zhao Nan wants, either live together or die together......"

Zhao Nan listened and smiled knowingly at Gu Ming.

......

Since it was decided to stick to the airship, it was natural to arrange the defense work. After careful discussion between Gu Ming and Yao Xing, the two listed some key protection places on the design drawings of the airship.

"The propellers and power plant of the airship are at the tail, so the largest number of people will be sent to defend, and all the members of the Elven Whispering Guild and Zhou Die from the Blue Sky Guild will go together. As for the top, it is the position of the engine room, which is also quite important, and it will be taken care of by the entire Engineer Guild, and the remaining part of the nose will be taken care of by the remaining personnel of the Blue Sky Guild. Gu Ming announced.

"What about the sideways of the airship, don't you want to defend it?" asked Yu Wenjie.

"No need, that kind of place is enough to rely on the defensive alchemy array of the airship itself, even if it is destroyed, it doesn't matter, the key is the part of the spiral and the power starter. Su Xiaomei shook her head and said.

"During the entire defense process, please pay attention to the information in the private chat channel, Yao Xing and I will command in the control room and be responsible for monitoring the situation of the entire airship.

After arranging, everyone immediately went to their own responsible position.

Zhao Nan naturally followed the elf whispering group to the location of the propeller, and before that, Pozenia blessed him with an ice armor.

"You and Shi Qingqing are standing here, your Spring Spring can brush the blood of everyone's group, and this position is just right to put skills on everyone's heads. Zhao Nan instructed.

"Don't worry, Zhao Nan, I'll teach Miss Poznia. Shi Qingqing said with a smile.

"Nan, you have to be careful yourself. Seeing the terrifying storm outside the airship, Pozenia was still a little worried.

"It's okay, the six-colored dragon king can't kill me, are you still afraid of this little storm?" Zhao Nan smiled and comforted.

With that, Zhao Nan walked out of the cabin door by the side of the corridor with Joan of Arc, rushed out of the cabin with the others whispered by the elves, and walked slowly along the splint built on the side of the airship.

The splint was only a meter wide, the fuselage was on the left hand side, and the high altitude was ten thousand feet on the right hand side, and there was no protection except for a simple iron railing.

As soon as Zhao Nan and the others walked out, they were greeted by gusts of wind and torrential rain. As soon as everyone came out, their bodies were soaked with rain, and the wind was raging, if they hadn't clung to the railing, it would have been a problem to walk.

"Be careful, everybody...... Don't fall, wait for everyone to get to the haode position just arranged just now and stand up. In the midst of the storm, Liu's whispering voice sounded, because the wind was so loud that it could only be barely heard.

The place where the spiral and power plant are located is at the tail of the airship, which is not large. But it was the most important part of the entire airship, and before setting off, Gu Ming and Yao Xing had already marked the position of each person standing on it to ensure that the defensive measures could be evenly distributed.

Liu whispering, Liu Joy. Zhou Die, as a girl, arranged the location closer to the cabin. If there is any emergency, you can also hide in it as soon as possible. Next is the powerplant part. Where is Liu Hao and Yu Wenjie checked, and the remaining propeller part is handed over to Zhao Nan and Zhang Heng, who are the strongest.

As soon as everyone stood up, a burst of fire appeared in the sky, and a huge fireball with a diameter of more than ten meters fell from the sky. Happened to smash into the position of the propeller, Zhang Heng was startled, and he was about to release his skill to disperse the fireball, but Zhao Nan near him held down the bow and arrow he was about to pull away for the first time.

"Don't panic. The airship's defensive alchemy array still has an effect, and a fireball can also be defended. ”

Sure enough, before Zhao Nan finished speaking, about fifty or sixty meters away from the high-speed rotating propeller, a huge orange alchemy array appeared out of thin air, blocking the fireball.

"Save the skill for critical times, pay attention to the time of chanting and cooldown. Zhao Nan cautioned.

"I'm sorry, I ...... I was so nervous. Zhang Heng said apologetically.

"It's okay, in fact, Zhang Heng, your strength is very strong, if you can calm down, it will be fine. Zhao Nan said sincerely.

"xiexie!" may have been encouraged, and Zhang Heng showed a grateful look on his face.

At the beginning, the defensive alchemy array on the airship could barely block the attack of the elemental storm, but as it went deeper into the Endless Sea, the storm became more and more violent, and from time to time, fireballs, hail, thunder and lightning passed through the airship's defense net and fell directly on the airship.

At this time, it is natural to dispatch Zhao Nan and these people, they see the right time, when the fireball and other attacks pass through the defense, they will release their skills to disperse or block these attacks as soon as possible, and be sure to protect the fuselage of the airship from damage.

"Holy Law Streamer Slash!"

Zhao Nan released a golden sword qi, shattering a huge hailstone, and behind Zhao Nan, Joan of Arc also moved to another position, quickly swinging a crescent-like silver sword qi, scattering the fireballs that roared from the other side.

"Damn, these storms are getting more and more violent, and it's hard to stop them all now. With a wave of Liu Xiaoyu's staff, a line of fire shot out, and met an electric snake that fell from the sky, and with a bang, the line of fire and the electric snake disappeared at the same time.

"It's past 2 o'clock in the evening, and we'll stay up until dawn. Liu Joy released an ice dragon on the side, and then said lightly.

"Do we have to wait until dawn?ah, can we withstand it if we continue to support it?" Liu Hao complained as he waved his chain knife and scattered the fireballs and hailstones one by one.

"Don't talk so much, watch closely, the less damage the airship, the better the chance that we will reach our destination safely. Yu Wenjie said, picking up the giant axe in his hand and shouting.

Skill: Bloody Storm.

A blood-colored whirlwind rolled up, blocking several electric snakes from the outside.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the airship, a group of players are trying to fend off all the attacks from the Elemental Storm, and they have their own abilities, using almost all of them.

In the control room, Gu Ming and Yao Xing, who were in charge of monitoring, also had solemn faces, and in front of them, a crystal plate like a mirror showed the damaged parts of the airship.

"Lord Yao Xing, now there are only 45% of the alchemy array that still has a defensive effect, 7% of the cabin part is damaged, 31% of the side part is damaged, 8% of the nose part is damaged, and the propeller and power plant part of the tail are not damaged for the time being. The dwarven technician named Molov reported in a deep voice.

"The other parts are not important, the key is the propeller and power plant, is there enough manpower in charge over there?" asked Yao Xing.

"Our elves whispered that all the personnel are there, as well as Zhou Die in the blue sky, a total of 8 people are guarding that position. Gu Ming replied.

However, as soon as the words fell, there was another violent vibration from the entire airship, and the amplitude of the vibration was quite large. There is almost a crumbling feeling.

"What's going on?" Yao Xing hurriedly asked.

"The position of the propeller was hit, and now it is damaged by 3%, Lord Yao Xing, if the propeller is damaged by more than 10%, it will be dangerous to continue flying. Molov said.

"It doesn't seem safe enough for eight people to hold that position. Yao Xing glanced at Gu Ming meaningfully, as if accusing Gu Ming's arrangement of not being perfect enough.

Yao Xing then opened the private chat channel and said to Su Xiaomei, who was guarding the nose of the airship: "The propeller position of the tail needs more manpower, can your Blue Sky Guild arrange people to go over?"

"No, our side is the front of the entire airship, and it has suffered the most elemental storms. It's already very difficult to defend this position......" On the side of the private chat channel, Su Xiaomei's panting voice sounded, mixed with the sound of explosions and the sound of wind and rain knocking.

"Wait for me to go. Gu Ming didn't wait for Yao Xing to continue speaking, he had already taken the initiative to come over.

"Is that okay?" asked Yao Xing with a smile.

"You can do it in the command room, but the problems on the propeller and power plant side must be solved now. Since there is a shortage of manpower, I have to go over and help. "Say it. Gu Ming turned around and walked out expressionlessly.

Yao Xing watched Gu Ming leave from behind. A triumphant look was revealed. From questioning Gu Ming's arrangement, to forcing him to voluntarily give up command, all of this made Yao Xing feel great satisfaction.

......

Zhang Heng stared blankly at the place where the propeller emitted smoke, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry, just ...... I was distracted just now, and I didn't pay attention to the direction over there. ”

"Zhang Heng. Just calm down and don't make any more mistakes. Although Zhao Nan said this, he was really scared so much that his heart almost jumped out just now.

At the same time, five fireballs smashed towards the propeller's position one after the other. Zhao Nan and Joan of Arc took the lead in solving the three closest to their positions, as for the remaining two, they originally relied on Zhang Heng on the other side to defend, but they didn't know that the boy didn't notice it for a while, and actually missed one of them, which caused the explosion just now.

Fortunately, the propeller of the airship is made of a special material, which is particularly hard, and after withstanding an attack, it still spins very strongly, but if this accident happens a few more times, the propeller may not be able to operate.

"I'm sorry, I'll take notice. The rain hit Zhang Heng's face, making his face look a little ugly.

Zhao Nan was still a little worried, so he said to Joan of Arc behind him, "Sister Joan of Arc, you go and help Zhang Heng, I'll be alone here." ”

Although Joan of Arc was a little reluctant, she also knew that if she didn't cooperate well in the current situation, the airship would be finished, although she didn't care, but since it was Zhao Nan's words, Joan of Arc would still listen.

"Zhao Nan, isn't this good?" Zhang Heng was a little moved, but also a little ashamed, he also knew that his character was not good, and he always dropped the chain at critical times.

"Don't talk nonsense with me, defend well, and don't make any more mistakes. Zhao Nan said, and then quickly returned to his position.

As soon as Zhao Nan stood firm, a new round of attacks descended from the sky, this time a large pile of hailstones, almost impenetrable down. Zhao Nan gritted his teeth, the holy fighting qi on his body flashed out, and then he kicked hard under his feet, and his body was like a golden meteor in a dark storm, and he took the initiative to meet it with a whoosh.

"Three swords in one?

Zhao Nan shouted, the big sword in his hand swung violently, and a golden thunder dragon took off the sword and flew out, heading towards the hailstone, the banging sound continued, and all the hail was swept by the thunder dragon, and all of them burst into powder.

"Zhao Nan is really amazing!" Zhang Heng watched from the other side of the propeller, and couldn't help but admire and admire.

"Don't be in a daze. Joan of Arc let out a cold snort of dissatisfaction.

"I'm sorry, I'm wandering again. Zhang Heng's face turned red, he didn't expect that he would be inferior to a humanoid pet of Zhao Nan.

As time passed little by little, and there were only about 2 hours left before dawn, this elemental storm gradually ushered in its climax, not only the fireballs, hail and thunder became denser, but even those fierce winds began to be mixed with green wind blades.

On the contrary, after a night of resistance, everyone has been exhausted, if it weren't for the player's lack of stamina consumption this setting, it is estimated that everyone would have fallen a long time ago, but Rao is like this, and the high concentration for a long time also makes people feel unbearable.

Zhao Nan was in a trance, and a wind blade that appeared out of thin air also slipped through his defensive net.

Oops!

Seeing the wind blade slashing towards the spiral-shaped position, Zhao Nan's eyes were about to crack for a while, but now it may be too late to rush over.

At this moment, a figure instantly jumped in front of the propeller, ignoring the danger of being twisted by the propeller, with a shake of one hand, a silver sword net scattered the wind blade.

"Gu Ming?" Seeing the man landing steadily on the splint, Zhao Nan was a little surprised that this helper was actually him.

"Be careful, don't make people laugh about it. Gu Ming said expressionlessly.

"When did you come?" asked Zhao Nan.

"I came early, but I've been supporting my sister just now. Gu Ming said lightly.

"Why did you run out and don't do it if you command it well?" Zhao Nan asked puzzled.

"It's so stuffy inside, come out and breathe. Gu Ming said.

"Are you using this excuse to tease me......" Zhao Nan was halfway through speaking, suddenly realized something, and couldn't help grinning: "Haha, you guy was rejected by Yao Xing, right?"

“......”

At this time, the dark clouds in the sky were deeper, the wind, thunder, rain and lightning were more violent, and under the blow of this elemental storm, the airship was almost like a small boat in the middle of a stormy sea, crumbling, and would be overturned at any time.

However, everyone including Zhao Nan didn't know that the real danger was still imminent, and dozens of kilometers away from the airship, a huge black dragon had just flown over Shenyue Bay, flying rapidly in the direction where everyone was. (To be continued......)
