The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

Chapter 436 Coal seam blockade, series of weapons (4k)

In the outer area of ​​the underground base, after the blazing sun of the two ravens was extinguished, the outline lights in the passage were dimmed, making it difficult for people to adapt for a while.

Several hellhounds exuded a dangerous aura and quickly approached in the direction of Zhao Qing and others. Their golden eyes flickered, and their scales made a tooth-piercing scraping sound when they swung their bodies. The thick smell of blood was overwhelming. .

Surrounding the dragon-blooded bulldog, ravens twice as many as them were attacking. Some were riding on the dog's back and pecking at its neck. Some were flapping their wings backwards and constantly pulling the dog's tail. It didn't look like anything. Injury only serves the purpose of harassment.

After all, the space in the passage is too narrow, making it difficult for birds to accelerate, and the power of pecking and claws is limited. Even though these ravens are 70 centimeters long and have a wingspan of 1.3 meters, which is equivalent to a medium-sized raptor, they are now just an enhanced version of a large bird. It's just a rooster, it can't take advantage of aerial combat.

Beside the dog group, a few ravens barked, as if cursing and fearing each other, causing the hellhounds to roar back and pounce on the crows of the same species without any fear of accidental injury.

"This kind of fierce dog was once deployed on the battlefield in Afghanistan. It is an extremely deadly weapon against non-armored units." Not optimistic about the fighting situation of the crows, Chen Zheng subconsciously took two steps back and made a fighting posture: "Their scales can prevent The recovery ability of small-caliber bullets is even more..."

Then, together with Chu Zihang, both of them couldn't help being surprised. They saw a few ravens carrying a tool box from behind and quickly opened it. Then, the pliers, wrenches, screwdrivers, electric drills, etc. inside were all became their weapon.

The fighting scene suddenly became intense, and a raven began to release word spirits, mainly low-level word spirits such as Yin Lei, Guisheng, and Yin Liu, aiming at the eyes, anus and other weak points of the Cerberus. Go, attack in the east and attack in the west, the cooperation is amazing.

A raven skillfully inserted a bent crochet needle under the Cerberus's scales, and then quickly tied the nylon thread to a nearby steel pipe and tied it in a tight knot, restricting the opponent's movement.

The other raven grabbed the scales on the dog's back without fear, held the electric drill in its mouth, aimed at its spine and opened it to the maximum. Black blood splashed out under the cutting of the electric drill.

However, Cerberus is not without power to fight back. Although they are not flexible enough and their limbs cannot reach the raven that is always holding on to the dog's back, they have strong resistance and violent nature.

Their tails have evolved a structure similar to that of a manticore, and the bone spurs at the end are highly poisonous. Once rolled up and stabbed continuously, the power is astonishing. Among them, the leader of the four-eyed hellhound has a tail that can be retracted freely.

During the fight, the hellhounds showed amazing pain tolerance. Even if half of their muscles were bitten off, they would still continue to fight desperately without fear.

This cruel nature becomes even more crazy under the stimulation of bloodshed. They jump with all their strength, and can even jump to a height of four to five meters, with an extremely wide attack range. Even ravens with their superb flying skills are at risk of being caught and torn apart.

For a moment, crow feathers were flying in random directions, and the entire battlefield seemed to be swept by a black storm.

"Let our companions go!" A raven with blood-stained scales in its mouth shouted in the direction of Zhao Qing: "Let's work together to deal with these dogs! We are facing a big crisis here, and it cannot be solved by just a few people... "The voice was full of firmness and determination.

"What crisis?" Observing the fighting skills of the crows, Zhao Qing released the restraints on the three crows and asked with interest: "Are you going to negotiate with me?"

"It's not a negotiation, it's an invitation and advice." A new raven flew over. This raven was wrapped in a circle of red flames. It looked majestic, but because most of its words were learned from several of the same breeders, its voice was muted. It's not very recognizable.

It was followed by two ravens holding kerosene barrels. It flew up and poured the oil on the Cerberus. Then the flaming crow descended and set it on fire. Soon, the enemies turned into burning torches. The more it rolled on the ground, the more burnt it became.

The flames penetrated into the damaged and missing parts of the Cerberus, burning their muscles and internal organs. They could not be extinguished. Thick smoke came out from it, and the dark golden bones could be vaguely seen.

Yan Ling Zhuo Hua, Chi's lower level Yan Ling, can attach a layer of flames of hundreds of degrees around the body, which can be used to attack enemies in melee, but it cannot be thrown from a distance, and its power is far less than the violent Chi and Junyan, but it can be mastered to a certain extent. But it is much higher, and there are few accidental injuries.

After a while, the flaming raven stopped releasing the scorching light and landed on the head of the dead hell dog leader. Other ravens landed on other dog corpses one after another, their golden eyes flashing alternately, like a group of A wizard in a bright black robe was performing some mysterious ritual.

According to Chen Zheng, there are already class divisions among the crows. Most of the people who have awakened the spirit of speech are the nobles, and those with stronger speech spirits are probably the so-called seniors.

Seeing the three released ravens, Elder Zhuohua patted their heads affectionately with his beak, and then said to Zhao Qing: "The coal mine outside is on fire. It won't be long before we are engulfed in boundless fire. Burned to death, we must work together to find a way out."

Coal mine on fire? Zhao Qing's thoughts moved slightly, and he deduced the current location based on the previous route, and soon discovered something roughly: this underground secret base should be located exactly under a small coal mine in the suburbs.

Obviously, on the top of the experimental base, a coal seam with a reserve of at least one million tons acts like a natural protective umbrella, providing excellent cover for the laboratory. It not only facilitates the initial construction, but also allows the mine to be used as a passage to the outside world and to use coal to Provide electricity.

However, at this moment, this coal seam has become the biggest threat to the laboratory. Once it burns, it will block the escape route of the internal personnel-and the foreign enemy who invaded at the same time as the Wind King is probably the murderer of this matter. .

"Don't think about the passage back."

Elder Raven added: "We found the self-destruction mechanism of the underground base. There are two coal belts extending from the main coal seam and have been located above the passage. After they are ignited, it will not take long to destroy the surrounding everything."

"Then run back before they start burning!" Chen Zheng said with a cold sweat on his face: "You should be able to do it in time, right? How fast does the flame spread? I am studying economics and I don't understand this..."

"It's hard to say. Under natural circumstances, the main thing to look at is the content and distribution of oxidants in the formation..." Zhao Qing floated up lightly, sticking his whole body to the top wall, feeling the temperature of the outside world with his spirit:
"Theoretically speaking, underground coal mines cannot be ignited all at once. Ideally, it may take many years to spread. But if igniters are added and alchemy is used, it is another matter - the burning of TNT. The speed can reach more than 6,000 meters per second, and it only takes a moment."

"In other words, we are most likely already surrounded by a sea of ​​fire, but the heat has not been transferred yet." She turned to look at Chen Zheng: "The last barrier of the base is this coal seam ignition self-destruction device?"

"No..." Chen Zheng shook his head quickly and said, "I have only heard that the exit leading to the mine on the other side has a 'Vulcan's Net', a special alchemy tool developed by Newton in the past, but The effect is unknown, and we don’t know that there are other measures to destroy the entire base.”

"Take me to the other side and see!" Faced with such a shocking crisis, Zhao Qing showed no urgency at all. He floated to the side of the raven elder and touched its head: "I don't know your king. ’, what solutions have you thought of?”

……

A moment later, at the other end of the underground base, there was a brightly lit hall, with alarms blaring all around.

A golden-eyed raven with extraordinarily shiny throat hair and a larger body was looking worriedly at the instrument in front of it, flipping through and reading the relevant instructions with the tips of its claws. From time to time, it turned to talk to a few elders in crow language. People's words are mixed together in conversation.

Around it, many boilers and pipes were steaming. Thousands of large and small ravens were parked on top of various cabinets, tables, chairs, lamps, and instruments, communicating with each other in low voices. It looked dark. It was noisy and noisy.

There are also several ravens, wearing special lanyards, and using rope buckles to tie some weapons with dangerous signs, including pocket sniper rifles, individual missiles, and micro-aerial bombs. The models are quite special. At first glance, it is for them. A specially developed version that is constantly patrolling in the air.

Suddenly, the Crow King seemed to hear a cry in the distance, leaving behind the elders beside him, flapping his wings and flying up, bypassing two corridors, and came to a temporary infirmary separated by a curtain.

There are many injured ravens lying here who are being cared for, a few raven berserkers who fell into a coma after using the Word Spirit Ghost, some caregivers who feed and bandage their wounds, and several dead and mutilated human corpses. Sprinkled with black feathers.

Looking at the scene of the ravens taking good care of their companions, Zhao Qing was thoughtful. At the same time, he also remotely sensed the scene in the central hall, and had a deeper understanding of this crow society.

There are thousands of dragon-blooded ravens, of which five or six hundred have awakened the spirit of speech, which is quite a number. However, although such combat power is not bad, in fact, it is not very high-end. Theoretically, the evolved raven's physical fitness is about five times that of ordinary crows, comparable to the strongest individuals among golden eagles. However, due to the defective claw strength caused by the thin legs, it can basically only attack with its beak. This There are many less destructive methods.

Birds of prey like the golden eagle and goshawk mainly rely on the power of their claws rather than pecking to hunt. They first swoop down and accelerate, and then use hundreds of kilograms of claw force to scratch the target's skull, which is a headshot. Pecks are only used to further kill severely injured prey.

In contrast, their beaks have no advantage over ravens. If an eagle and a crow of the same size get into close combat, they may even be killed.

Therefore, in general, if a dragon-blooded raven learns how to attack like a raptor, it will at best be able to hit targets such as leopards, ordinary people, and large dogs. Its frontal combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of mixed breeds above D level, that is, Kassel Academy. Level confrontation with the Ministry of Industry.

However, as an intelligent creature, the dragon-blooded raven can obviously launch an attack by dropping bombs from high altitude, and can easily kill the target by throwing rocks. But with the support of weapons provided by humans, it is not just as simple as throwing rocks, but also throwing bombs. .

Judging from the equipment of several patrolling crows, the Chen family has developed a series of pocket weapons specifically for the crows. They have assembled the crows into the appearance of miniature fighter jets, and they may have undergone training such as target shooting.

Coupled with the Yanling Chiri that can act as a heat decoy, the Yanling Snake that can act as a radar and electronic jammer, the Mingzhao used for stealth, etc., fighting in groups can be said to be almost unfavorable.

Not long ago, the crows were quite powerless against Cerberus, but when they found their weapons arsenal and used the strategy of "divide, attack, encircle and annihilate", Cerberus that was comparable to an A-level Deadpool were hunted down one after another. Kill, no longer a threat.

With this thought in his mind, Zhao Qing turned to look at the Crow King who was slowly approaching, the leader of the crows who had awakened Yan Lingtianyan. He heard the other person sigh with emotion: "We are living on the ground. The birds below have never seen the real sky.”

"Thinking of the long journey of heaven and earth, I burst into tears with sadness!" It did not light up its golden pupils, but stared at Zhao Qing with dark purple eyes in front of it, and uttered such words that seemed ordinary but actually contained profound meaning: "Outside What is the world like?"

"By the way, the name given to me by the laboratory staff is 'Cronos'. You can call me that." The Raven King said softly: "In the next period of time, I hope we can become a trustworthy person." friend."

……

At the same time, the old man who had just sneaked into the underground base had emerged from the coal mine shaft and returned to the surface. He held a communicator in his hand, adjusted the frequency, and answered a call from afar.

On the other end of the phone was a magnetic middle-aged man's voice: "There is no need to stay outside to observe the target's situation. She should have no problem handling a disaster of this level and it won't cause much trouble. The ground fire will not go out. But it can’t trap a person of this level.”

"You don't need to interfere with the follow-up matters."

"Next, your mission is to go to Ben R and visit an old friend of yours and mine, Dr. Herzog. I heard that the Source Heavy Industry he is building is about to be completed, so you have to plant some means in advance to Play a monitoring role.”

"One more thing: when he was first established in Black Swan Port, someone gave him a high-level bronze mask related to the 'Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse' in a trade. He must have taken it with him later. When the time comes, you'd better Let’s go and see how far the doctor has used the mask.”

"When to set off?"

"Now."

……

After communicating with the Crow King named "Cronos" for a while, Zhao Qing couldn't help but sigh. Tianyan is indeed an extremely astonishing intelligence-enhancing spirit. The knowledge mastered by the opponent, a teenage crow, is I'm afraid it's no less than some humans who have obtained doctorates.

When the base manager was killed by the intruders and the remaining personnel were slaughtered by hellhounds, it managed to lure most of the dragon-blooded dogs into the disinfection room in a short period of time, sealed the killing, and reorganized the order of the crows, quickly Controlled most of the base.

The numerous barriers that separate the inside and outside have now been breached by four of the layers using the weapon cache, leaving only the "Vulcan's Net" named after the craftsman god in Roman mythology, and the coal seam flames ignited outside.

After encouraging and comforting the wounded Ravens in the infirmary for a while, Cronus led Zhao Qing to the alchemy collection warehouse of the base, which contains many rare alchemy props, a large number of books, copies of ancient books, etc., as well as information about experiments. Paper docket.

Although it looked a bit messy, as if it had been robbed by intruders, and there were ravens holding fire extinguishers to extinguish small flames, Zhao Qing still noticed that there were many animal mummies such as cats and dogs placed in the room. , there are some masks of various materials hanging on the wall.

The bodies of these little animals were wrapped in white linen and lying quietly in exquisite glass cabinets. Through the glass, you can clearly see the various strange spell marks on their bodies.

Although they have experienced countless years of baptism, their forms are still lifelike, as if they will wake up from their deep sleep at any time. Under the dim light, the eyes of the mummies seemed to sparkle with a deep light, which made people shudder.

Several of the masks on the wall were filled with living beings, sometimes whispering and emitting eerie laughter. They kept opening and closing their lips, as if they were singing an ancient priest's hymn.

Zhao Qing secretly thought, is he studying the form of ancient dragon subspecies? Odin's Shroud? The secret of the mask?

Speaking of which, as the father of Zeus, the English pronunciation of "Cronos" is actually the same as "Raven", which corresponds to the patron saint of alchemy, which is also a raven. The person who named it is quite cool. interesting.

"The main computer room of the base was completely destroyed, leaving only the secondary computer room here for use." Crow King said: "The burning conditions outside can be monitored in real time by calling the detector here."

As it said that, it quickly opened a monitoring screen at the computer in the corner of the collection room. It patted and pecked, showing the raging sea of ​​fire deep in the mine.

Thousands of strands of fire spewed out from the coal seam toward the bottom of the shaft, like a flower made of flames. Its color was constantly changing, from dark red to golden to dazzling white, as if it were a fire dragon rising from hell. , its power is enough to swallow everything.

The roar of the flames was deafening, intertwined with the continuous sound of gas explosions. The steel pipes, iron bars and other objects within the field of vision turned red and softened, first swaying violently like stretched gluten, and then exceeded their endurance limit and were completely destroyed.

At the same time, Zhao Qing also suddenly sensed that there was a hidden humanoid creature on the ceiling above his head. His body was shaking as the monitor played on the projection screen.
