Light Spirit Epic Chapter 2684: Trial of Flame (5)
Chapter 2684 Trials in Flame Flames (5)
At eight o'clock in the evening, the dawn area, about twenty kilometers outside Lviv.
"Hmm..." The previous battle had consumed a lot of mental energy, and Albert, who had driven the iron cavalry so far, was so sleepy that he could barely open his eyes.
The worst part is that he has to protect his pocket with one hand to prevent the cat (Mutter) hiding in it from falling, and hold the joystick of the cavalry with the other hand to control the flight. Keeping this pose makes him feel tired.
Originally, he could indeed turn on the automatic navigation system of the iron cavalry, and let the iron cavalry fly to the predetermined destination by himself. However, even with the assistance of the autopilot system, Albert still couldn't rest assured to fall asleep, fearing that the tiger-striped kitten in his arms would move around and fall from the sky.
He was so sleepy that he had to fly to Lviv in a tense manner, and finally he was about to reach his destination. When the decreasing distance indicator on the dashboard showed that Lviv was no more than twenty kilometers away, Albert tried to refresh himself and looked up into the distance. He hopes to get to the stone pyramid in Lviv as soon as possible and get a good night's sleep.
However, the look up made him completely awake.
"Hey, are you kidding me?" Albert couldn't even believe his eyes.
Is that Lviv? Isn't that some kind of "hell"?
From this distance, a general outline of the city of Lviv can be seen. Moreover, a dead city that was severely damaged by battle was even more conspicuous at night. Not because of anything else, but because the city of Lviv was submerged by the hot "magma", and there was a red light of disaster everywhere.
The situation is pretty bad. Most of the buildings in the city fell. The hollow buildings in Lviv were originally a kind of "tower defense" structure. There are no people inside, and it exists only for the convenience of people to fight defensive battles.
Not only can hunters shoot through the small windows inside hollow buildings and use ranged weapons such as arrows to kill the army of monsters attacking Lviv; they can also use the roofs of buildings to move around quickly, with The terrain height difference, the various traps built in the city, gradually kill the enemies who mixed into the city.
Now, however, everything has been reduced to nothingness. The "ground" of Lviv City has long been covered with hot magma (in fact, it is not real lava), and high heat is spreading everywhere. Although those hollow buildings were not melted by the lava, they were still standing on top of the lava, but the nearby buildings were already too hot to approach. The entire dead city has become even more dead, only its vision keeps twisting under the influence of heat, as if the city itself is a huge living body.
A spectacle? This is indeed a miracle. The tiger man youth spent half a second recalling. In the city of Lviv, there was still a corpse of a monster as huge as a mountain—the corpse of an old mountain turtle. That monster had been killed by Albert last night, but it still affected the entire city of Lviv after it died. The endless stream of hot fluid (not real lava!) pouring out of it was so fluid that it easily filled the ground in Lviv and eventually the entire city.
Since their flow is affected by gravity, these hot fluids naturally spill out and spread outside the city. The city walls of Lviv City were damaged everywhere in the battle last night, and the four city gates in the south, south, north and west were wide open, and they were in a defenseless state. Fortunately, they act as a "flood release", preventing the accumulation of high-heat fluids from completely submerging the city.
Nowadays, the entire red "magma field" in the city is still slowly spreading outside the city, and there is no tendency to converge. However, the speed of high-heat fluid gushing out is constant, and the speed of magma diffusion will naturally become slower and slower as the area increases. The "magma" that spreads out doesn't seem to have a tendency to cool and solidify, and Albert wonders whether the high-heat fluid actually condenses. They seem to be constantly emitting high heat, and at the same time, they are also constantly evaporating and disappearing, becoming part of the scorching air.
If the death of Laoshan turtle was a natural disaster like a volcanic eruption, then the current Lviv is a disaster scene after the natural disaster. Except for those buildings that rise from the ground and have not been corroded by the high heat, the whole city has no place to stay.
The temperature of the fluid is naturally inferior to that of real magma. But they were still hot enough to burn people. The city of Lviv has become a natural death trap.
What about the Central Temple? ------Albert hurriedly searched for traces of the giant ruins. The huge stone pyramid that was originally in the center of the city actually rose into the air. It is not a pyramid. Floating in the air, it reveals its true appearance, which is a huge cube, which is formed by splicing two perfectly symmetrical "pyramids" up and down. This is the true face of the remains of the Central Sanctuary in Lviv, a huge stone castle in the air!
Albert frowned. Isn't it bad?
In order to avoid the high heat of the lava on the ground, the hunters in the Central Sanctuary will activate the relic's flight system, allowing the relic to float in mid-air. But the energy consumption of floating should be huge, after all, it is necessary to float a building of such a huge mass. And the energy will always run out. When it runs out of energy and falls back to the ground again, wouldn't the people in the Central Temple die of heat?
Albert slammed on the accelerator, accelerated and flew towards the Central Temple, hurriedly landing the cavalry.
"What's going on here?" he asked as soon as he landed.
"Uh, here you are." Castro, with his upper body exposed and sweating profusely, came over to respond, "As you can see, lava is still flowing from the body of Lao Shan turtle, which is a disaster. ."
"Wow, it's hot!" Albert felt the heat on his feet. Even though the Central Sanctuary was floating in the air, it still absorbed the heat from the lava on the ground. The floor of the stone building also became very hot as a result.
"This is not the time to talk about this!" The tiger man came back to his senses: "Oh my God! What are you all doing meow? Since the Central Sanctuary can be floated, move it quickly and let it leave Livo. The range of my husband!"
"Don't think about it, you can't move." Castro wiped the sweat from his forehead, "This thing can only float at most, but has no lateral movement function."
"Damn it! Then why don't you guys evacuate?" Albert was anxious: "If the Central Sanctuary sinks with all the electricity, we will all be roasted!"
"You don't have to worry about that." Before Castro could say anything, the black rabbit Nina also appeared and responded: "The Central Temple originally relies on the underground geothermal resources to maintain its energy supply. Its bottom The inverted pyramid structure is a device used to absorb geothermal energy. Now the situation has changed, instead of absorbing geothermal energy, it directly absorbs the thermal energy of the magma flowing out of Laoshan turtle."
"So...as long as that lava doesn't cool down for a day, Central Templar can keep floating?" Albert asked suspiciously.
"Yes, in theory." Nina also wiped a sweat: "And once the lava on the ground cools, we can land safely."
"The temperature is still tolerable now," Castro said. "Don't complain. It's cooler inside the Central Sanctuary. Come in and cool off and hydrate. Staying here too long will cause heat stroke."
"Uh... well!" Albert didn't know where to start complaining, so he could only follow the two into the Central Sanctuary.
Originally, this stone pyramid building was supposed to get hotter and hotter as it went inward. But the Central Sanctuary is really an ancient relic that uses geothermal resources to generate electricity. Its bottom absorbs the heat from the ground well, so it shields most of the heat, but causes the interior of the Central Sanctuary to become slightly cooler. Albert even felt that there was accelerated flow of air inside the large building, and it was estimated that some kind of exhaust system hidden in the ventilation duct was operating at full power, driving away the sultry heat inside the ruins.
Nevertheless, the inside of the pyramid is only slightly cooler than the outside, and it is still hot enough to make you sweat. The armpits and back of the white shirt Albert was wearing had long been soaked in sweat and became translucent.
In a hall inside the Central Sanctuary, many monster hunters are gathering. Not because they wanted to be in this kind of place, but because the large room was more airy and better than other small refuge stone chambers. Most of the men among the hunters were so hot that they were only wearing shorts, and they were all sweating profusely, and there was a faint but lingering smell of sweat in the air.
Albert elongated his face. He should be glad that the physique of the orcs is different from that of the human beings. The sweat from the orcs is less salty and oily, and mostly pure water. If this hall was crowded with humans, and everyone was sweating, it was hard to imagine how sour the smell of sweat in the air would become.
"Not good. Tonight's big hunting festival has not yet started, and everyone has lost a lot of physical strength due to the scorching heat..." Albert groaned.
"Idiot! The perseverance of the monster hunter is much stronger than you think!" Castro taught ~IndoMTL.com~ while throwing a leather bag for Albert.
"Where did this water come from?" Albert asked curiously, pinching the water bag made of animal skin. Sending people out to get enough pure water for the hunters to drink under the harsh conditions of the magma siege was a daunting task.
"The flying monsters were controlled by the rabbits who stayed in Lviv to fetch water from the nearby river." Castro said: "No problem, the water is still sufficient, so drink it with confidence."
The tiger man frowned, opened the water bag and took a few mouthfuls. I don't know which river this is taken from nearby, the water has a strange smell. But the scene is really hot and unbearable, it is good to have water to drink, and you can't care too much. Even though Albert was not very thirsty, in order to avoid heat stroke, he forced himself to drink a few more sips.
"Speaking of which, brother Mutter didn't come today?" Nina asked at this time.
At last someone brought this up. Albert then took the opportunity to take the tiger-striped kitten out of his pocket: "Well, he's here."
"Meow?" Mutter, who had woken up, opened his large, round, wild cat eyes and surveyed the world.
