Chapter 17: Monty Python
However, this is only the first shot, as far as Lewi knows. There were four cannons in the flotilla.
Two of them were less powerful, but they were gunpowder cannons. The other two, on the other hand, are giant steam-propelled gates.
It's just that as far as Lewi knew, the two cannons opened fire as soon as they opened. The steam boilers of the entire ship had to be supplied for the launch. The steamship could only be propelled by sails.
As a result, the speed will fall to about one-third of the original level.
However, now that the target is on the shore, the ship does not need to move much.
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
Four large and small guns, all of them fired. Constantly smashing huge cannonballs one after another.
Then it exploded, turning into clouds of flames that almost enveloped the forest.
However, the python sprang out in pain. The huge head, almost like a locomotive, had rushed out of the dense forest.
Liu Yi also happened to arrive at this place, and the long sword in his hand shook, and the invisible sword qi shot out.
"Roaring ......"
The giant python, which had just been burned by the smoke and fire, let out another miserable scream. One eye was directly punctured by Liu Yi, and a large ball of liquid flowed out.
At this time, it was already within the range of the bow and crossbow on the shore. Lewi's figure flashed and moved out of the way.
Countless bolts shot towards the python's head.
No matter how huge this giant python is, it is also flesh and blood. No matter how strong its scales are, they can't compare to real steel.
He was shot in the head by hundreds of crossbow arrows, although he did not penetrate the flesh deeply. But it also hit the python hard.
It's like an ordinary person can't stand it even if he has a toothpick all over his face.
Liu Yi's swordsmanship is strong. It was another flick back, and the sword flashed in a flash. Broke the python's other eye again. A pool of crystals flowed out again.
This sword worked again, and Liu Yi's figure quickly moved sideways to dodge.
Sure enough, the next moment. The python had gone berserk and opened its mouth to spew out a mouthful of high-temperature flames. The surrounding vegetation was set on fire.
It is the corner of Lewi's clothes, stained with a little. They were all ignited at once, and they quickly spread throughout the body.
Fortunately, Liu Yi's movements are also extremely fast. One took off his robe to give way, his coat had been taken off, and the whole person flew out.
The "Boom ......" steam shells were fired much faster than the artillery, and the guns were fired again.
For such a huge anaconda, this distance. You can hit with almost no aim.
The cannonball fell, and another blood flower opened on the python.
There were cheers from the fleet, but Leo knew that things were not so simple.
If nothing else, this snake doesn't just see things with its eyes.
The trapped beast is still fighting, not to mention the injured python. At this time, this python. It's only going to get more dangerous.
Liu Yi grabbed Gao Feng and ran over, as if he wanted to help, and quickly retreated to the Yi number, but tried not to make a loud sound. Command the Yi ship. Get off the shore.
Although I don't know what's going on, Liu Yi has been on the Yi brand for so long. With his means, he has naturally already made the ship obedient. Naturally, the order was quickly carried out.
"Wait a minute, get ready for your Black Tide Gu!" Liu Yi said to Wang Ran.
"Good!"
Liu Yi patted Gao Feng on the shoulder: "This snake is too powerful." Alone, but it can't be ......"
That being said. But I still feel quite grateful that Gao Feng is not afraid of danger to go to the rescue at this time.
Even when Leo Yi retreated, the shells did not stop. In particular, one of the cannons smashed into the middle of the snake's body, almost breaking it into two pieces.
There are two types of shells: solid shells and flame shells. However, it was only the kind of steam cannon that was able to emit flame charges.
It seems to be similar to what Liu Yi discovered when he was still Fan Yi and developed gunpowder. The material structure of this world seems to be subtly different from that of another world.
So in this world, there are gods and demons, and all kinds of magic powers. At the same time, it also gives a ceiling to the power of gunpowder.
Since Fan Yi invented artillery, Da Chu has wasted no more than three hundred years of time in various improvements in gunpowder.
However, it has not been possible to make a major breakthrough. It wasn't until Liu Yi turned into Fan Bufan again that he adjusted many policies in the Fan Yi era.
Began to abandon the development of gunpowder and develop new explosives. However, even nitroglycerin has not been successful.
It wasn't until more than 300 years ago that steam technology was brought back from the other side.
Da Chu only then had trains, ships, and artillery. However, it is all driven by steam.
It is said that Da Chu is still developing a steam crossbow of any level. Two or three people can do it. When the time comes, it will even be possible to equip the troops on a large scale.
These things just flashed in Liu Yi's heart. The giant python has begun to go berserk, and its tail and body are swept between them, which can be said to be a landslide. rushed towards the shore.
Only, under the orders of Lewy. Even the nearest Yi Zi has already left the shore. The python naturally rushed into the water.
Originally, this python was not afraid of water. It can even be said that in the water, it will be more flexible. More powerful.
However, this python was unlucky. Wang Ran had already spread the Kuroshio into the water.
As soon as the giant python entered the water, it screamed miserably, constantly writhing, and it could be said that it was overturning the river and the sea.
Even the Yi Zihao, which had withdrawn for a certain distance, was almost affected.
However, this Black Tide Gu was also extremely powerful, and it quickly gathered towards the giant python.
In less than half a minute, the python rushed to the shore as if it had gone crazy.
Originally, this giant python was cyan with a little bit of gold. It looks very colorful and mighty. However, at this moment, it was as if a layer of paint had been smeared, and all of it turned black.
When the python fled back to shore, the black tide turned into liquid, left the python, and flowed back to the sea.
At this time, it was shocking to see that this giant python had completely changed its appearance, but in just half a minute, this giant python was stained with black tide. It's almost like you've shed a layer of skin.
Even, those wounds in place. Even the bones can be seen.
Thanks to the huge size of this giant python, its vitality is even more tenacious. Otherwise. I'm afraid that I can't die anymore if I'm already dead.
"Boom ......" shells were fired again, in and around the python.
This time, the python fled back as frightened. "No, if you let this python escape, things will be difficult!" exclaimed Li Fang on the steamer.
Xu Yi is also discolored, such a huge python must have become a refinement. But it's not good, it's the totem enshrined by the natives of the island.
If it's an ordinary thing. Hurt so badly. Naturally, it was the end of the end.
However, for these totem beasts, this is not necessarily the case. With the incense power of those natives, this injury will not kill it.
Liu Yi had already made a move again, and his sword qi slashed horizontally.
It happened to be at the huge wound where the white bones had been seen.
The python fled for its life, but ignored it. However, it didn't escape far, but it broke apart. The small half of the body remained in the local area.
Most of the remaining snake bodies quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests.
No one noticed. Lewy seemed to pull something out of the snake. Standing in the distance, it seemed that he was stunned for a long time.
Xu Yi and Li Fang had already disembarked with two or three sailors, armed all over. Go to the island.
Xu Yi and Li Fang are both the elite of the elites in the country. can make the imperial court spend such a price and support. And those who will be tested will naturally not be incompetent.
Take advantage of his illness and ask for his life. The python was so badly injured. Naturally, it is impossible to give this giant python a chance to recover.
The drums beat and after a while. In the dense forests of the island, countless indigenous warriors rushed out.
It's similar to the outfit of a canoe at the time. However, at this time, it was as if there were countless people trying to emerge from the dense forest.
The "Boom ......" shells fell into the dense forest again, and the shattered trees and plants flew wildly mixed with flesh and blood.
Then the flames spread rapidly in the damp forest. This is a flame charge.
It is unknown how many indigenous warriors were engulfed in the fire and burned alive.
The affairs of the indigenous warriors, who were originally imposing like a rainbow and even with grief and indignation, suddenly plummeted. There were even runaways.
Xu Yi and the others rushed over with their men, and rows of crossbow arrows were fired. Shoot the native warriors who had just burst out of the jungle to the ground.
The armed conflict between the two sides lasted almost only half an hour. The indigenous warriors, with a huge gap in weapons and civilization, were defeated. Howling and fleeing back into the forest.
This time, Xu Yi and Li Fang led their men and rushed into the dense forest. It's going to take advantage of the situation to sweep across the island.
At this time, Liu Yi moved slightly. The body made a clicking sound.
I didn't expect that such a small totem beast could be pulled out by Liu Yi with a trace of law. Although it can't compare to the evil god projection clone, it is almost the same as what is contained in the conch.
At this time, Xu Yi and Li Fang had already entered with their hands.
These two people are the elite of the elite in the country, and their judgments are accurate and their decisions are extremely accurate.
Except for a few who remained on the ship, most of the personnel followed the killing.
Obviously, at this time, ships parked at sea will not encounter any danger.
Liu Yi thought about it, and simply burrowed into the dense forest.
There were traces of fire everywhere, as well as fragments of corpses. However, almost all of them are indigenous.
Liu Yi quickly followed the traces all the way, and finally chased all the way to a mountain.
But I saw this unbelievably lush vegetation, full of hot and humid islands. That is, on the top of the mountain in front of Liu Yi's eyes, there will actually be a city stored in zĂ i.
Despite its small size, the city was built entirely of stone. Looking at it, it can be regarded as spectacular.
However, Xu Yi and Li Fang had already chased down the indigenous warriors who had fled back in defeat. There will be no more suspense in the battle.
Seeing this, Liu Yi naturally did not strike again to kill these vulnerable indigenous warriors.
He walked through the city as if he were strolling through it, only to find that it was full of low stone houses. The area is also not large.
However, almost every house has gold decorations on their doors. Most of it was the appearance of the giant python, but it was quite abstract.
Liu Yi's eyebrows jumped slightly, it seems that there may be gold mines on this big island. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so much gold. And this gold mine is definitely not too small.
If that's the case, maybe you can make all the money you invested in going overseas here.
You know, gold is a precious metal after all. Even the gold price of Da Chu has been falling. But after all, it is the highest value currency.
A golden cake is 10,000 dollars.
Over the years, Da Chu has continued to expand. The feudal towns in various places do not know how much gold has been imported into the interior of Dachu.
If it weren't for the fact that Confucianism consumes gold in many places, such as a key part of the boiler. Then the price of gold will be lower.
On the contrary, it is something like copper, because the price is lower, and it is not easy to transport. Instead, there is less input.
But at least it was more than 1,000 times that of that year, and the purchasing power of copper coins plummeted.
In fact, although Da Chu still retains the name of money. But it has long ceased to mint that kind of penny.
The smallest denomination is also ten coins, and it is no longer the appearance of a circle on the outside and a square on the inside.
Again, thankfully, a lot of copper was used to cast artillery, and even boilers, and so on. Extremely expensive. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Da Chu would have already been forced to use dangbai yuan as the smallest currency.
All in all, although Da Chu gold is no longer as valuable as before. But it's also a precious metal. If you can find more than three tons, you will almost be able to pay off the investment in this sea.
A piece of gold cake is about 100 grams in another world. It's not as big as ordinary people imagine......
And in the era of Da Yu, or Fan Yi. But the gold cake was more than one and a half times heavier than it is now.
Although Leo Yi thought so, he didn't pay attention to the gold. Instead, with a shake of his body, he sent out more than a dozen ghost soldiers, turned into a yin wind, and swept in all directions.
Soon, these ghost soldiers helped Liu Yi find the way. All the way to the highest point of this mountain city, it is also the core of this city.
There is a huge altar with two giant pythons attached to it.
But one was clearly dead! charred and black, and no longer angry.
After breaking half of his body, he was able to run so far after being pulled out of his divinity by Liu Yi. It can already be seen how strong the vitality of this giant python is.
Moreover, it can be seen that this giant python and this divinity are not deeply integrated.
Otherwise, this giant python will definitely not have only this ability. It's still just a beast that uses its body to fight.
Another python, but shining brightly in the sun. This is an idol of a giant python made of gold, almost in a ratio of ten to one.
Liu Yi's eyes were almost about to be dazzled, and this giant python alone was at least ten tons or more. (To be continued......)
