Chapter 0705 Fighting for Life with Heaven
The battle between the two level 4s is still going on.
In the floating giant ship under Black Smoke Wusa, everyone is busy.
One metal cabin after another was penetrated and all unnecessary auxiliary facilities were removed. The interior of the cabin was engraved with all kinds of mysterious runes, and when the powerful magic energy flowed through it, it flashed dazzling magic light from time to time.
Thick metal pipes crisscrossed, guiding the magic energy extracted from the space furnace to every part of the huge ship.
Due to the crude temporary transformation, the joints of these energy pipes leaked out amazing magic energy from time to time. And every time this happened, it was the time when the goblin engineers shouted and commanded the maintenance robots to rush up to weld and maintain.
Although there were more than a dozen goblin engineers, more than 30 goblin technicians and hundreds of engineering robots working against time to maintain the floating giant ship, the magic energy leaking from the energy pipes still reached an astonishing level.
So, in some areas inside the ship, the dense magic energy in the past formed a piece of terrible death zone. Once ordinary goblins approach, they may be killed directly.
And such an area can only send wizards with extremely high magic resistance and defensive witchcraft to enter!
At this time, the floating giant ship has lost the ability to fly again. All the "useless" and "ineffective" spacecraft facilities have been dismantled and transformed into metal pipes for transmitting magic energy. The floating giant ship has also transformed from a flying vehicle for wizards into a temporary wizard tower.
What is a wizard tower?
It is just a special witchcraft facility to assist wizards in fighting and living!
The most important point to build a wizard tower is to build a source of magic power.
Most ordinary wizard towers draw energy from outside the world through element altars.
The floating giant ship has nothing else, but the space furnace installed in its core can be transformed into a source of magic power for a wizard tower through the simplest transformation, and it is stronger and more violent.
Therefore, during the long time that the floating giant ship stayed on the overseas island, it has been working hard to carry out this fundamental ship body transformation. After it landed on the ground in the dragon cave, it was impossible to fly up by its own power.
However, with the huge energy support and various types of witch arrays painted all over the ship, the entire floating giant ship was transformed into a temporary witch tower.
Without a solid tower body of excellent material as a carrier, the original thick metal shell of the giant ship was used as a carrier; without rune lines all over the tower body as energy transmission pipelines, crude metal pipelines were used as pipelines; without a planned and strange tower spirit, Grimm stood up without hesitation, turned himself into a spirit, and played the role of this central control witch crystal...
In addition to the defensive witch arrays and attack witch arrays engraved on various parts of the ship, a witch tower system with many mistakes but barely able to operate was built.
And under the careful and meticulous command of Grimm who turned into a spirit, the resources and manpower and material resources of the entire floating giant ship were fully and reasonably utilized, becoming the strongest support for the black smoke Usa above!
However, as the battle between Black Smoke Wusa and the 4th-level Elf Sword Saint became more and more intense, this simple Wu Tower system was also suffering from more and more terrible energy backlash.
Every time the two 4th-levels collided with powerful forces, they could trigger energy backflow in some pipelines. And these ordinary metals obviously could not bear such terrible magic energy erosion and shock, and a large number of magic leaks began to appear one after another.
Inside the floating giant ship, the continuous energy explosions were endless, and nearly half of the goblins had been directly killed by the harsh "environment" inside the ship. The remaining goblin engineers and technicians could only hide in the magic puppets to barely survive in certain areas.
While Grimm was meticulously controlling the "Witch Tower" energy system to give Black Smoke Wusa the maximum power support, he was also distractedly controlling a number of engineering robots, working tirelessly to weld and seal the increasing number of energy leaks on the metal pipelines.
As for those metal pipelines that were twisted and broken by the explosion and had lost their repair value, they could only set up another temporary pipeline to replace the damaged parts.
As the battle progressed, there were more and more temporary patches and temporary pipelines, and the efficiency of the energy system in transmitting magic energy became lower and lower. Later, even the low-level wizards did not dare to enter some areas of the ship with the most serious leakage.
Even with their strength, if they rashly entered these areas, there was a high probability of direct death!
…………
The rumbling noise outside was transmitted into the secret passage of the dragon cave from time to time.
Every now and then, even the mountain where the dragon cave was located would shake and shake uncontrollably, and broken stone chips fell from the rock wall, and the secret passage was full of the smell of debris and dust.
The magic traps in the secret passage had been swept away.
With the help of several witches of fate, the weak Alice barely moved into the dragon cave.
To be honest, the hall where the dragons rested and slept, if it were not for the golden coins and gems that shone with golden light, it would be as simple and crude as the doghouse of the ogre.
Inside the unusually tall and spacious stone hall, there were broken stalagmites and black rock walls everywhere, but strangely, there were no insects, mosses or lichens. On the central floor of the hall, there was a thick pile of glittering gold coins, as well as various magic gems, weapons, armor and magic props.
All the witches and wizards who entered the dragon's nest were shocked by the brilliant scene in front of them, and they almost stopped breathing. As noble wizards standing proudly at the peak of secular power, each of them had undoubtedly gathered amazing wealth and resources, but compared with the scene in front of them, there was still a huge gap between heaven and earth.
Look at the golden coins that are several meters thick, which are enough to bury an adult man...
Look at the huge magic gems buried in the pile of gold coins, shining with magical fluorescence...
Look at the magic swords and gorgeous armors that are surrounded by brilliance and auspicious colors, each with a unique shape and exquisite style...
Although most of the magic weapons or props here cannot be equipped with the dragon's body, this does not hinder the dragon's ardent heart to collect the world's wealth and treasures.
On top of this pile of dazzling gold coins and gems, a magic wand with a strange shape and colorful light was inserted diagonally there, and the elemental rainbow formed by the stirring of magic power was clearly visible.
Even with Alice's calmness and composure, at this moment, she couldn't help but breathe quickly.
Alice was so weak and old at this moment. In addition to her long hair turning into silver threads, even her originally smooth face and skin became extremely withered and wrinkled. Alice, who was less than a hundred years old, should be at the peak of her life, but from her appearance, she was obviously an old woman near the end of her life.
She stood side by side with the poisonous woman Endor. Outsiders would only regard them as a pair of old sisters. Who could know that they were blood relatives separated by 5 generations?
With the usual methods of wizards, as long as they are not in the last period of their lives, their bodies and appearances can be transformed through witchcraft, so that they can always stay in middle age. Only when they are near the end of their lives, due to the decline of their souls and the fading of their magic power, will they obviously show signs of aging.
As for the fate witch like Alice, her magic power is surging and her soul is vigorous. She is obviously at the peak of her life, but her vitality is weak like a flickering candlelight, which may go out at any time.
It is precisely because of the huge loss of vitality that her soul has not been properly nourished and has begun to shrink and darken.
Although wizards have thousands of ways and means to absorb vitality, they are powerless against Alice's vitality that is devoured by the backlash of fate.
Fate is always fair!
How much you take from it, it will also take away the most precious things from your life...
The last trip underground, in order to divine a mysterious item for that alien being, Alice's vitality was directly reduced by forty years. If she can't successfully advance this time, she will only have one month to live!
So when she suddenly saw the prophecy scepter that could continue to sustain her life, the excitement in Alice's heart was not something that outsiders could easily understand.
"You all leave!" Alice barely stood firm in front of the gem pile, and said lightly without looking back: "Tell Grimm to give me another two hours! If I don't come out after two hours... let him escape by himself!"
The several fate witches who followed her nodded in unison, and bowed and left the Dragon's Nest Hall. The poisonous woman Endo also sighed and quietly left.
At the door of the hall, the violent witch Sophia and the ice girl Xuefu looked at each other and chose to guard there quietly.
The only remaining new witch turned away with a worried look on her face, and ran to pass on the leader's final command.
Poisonous woman Endo anxiously wandered around the entrance of the hall for two circles, but at this moment the mountain shook violently again, and countless dust and stone chips fell from the top of the corridor where they were.
"No, I can't just wait here. You two guard here and don't let anyone disturb Alice. I'll go upstairs to help!" After a few simple instructions, Poisonous woman Endo left with murderous intent.
Sophia and Xuefu were both resurrected by Alice using the power of fate after she was promoted to the Witch of Destiny. Therefore, their souls are also firmly bound to Alice.
Alice dies, they die!
Alice's promotion, theirs also rises with the tide, which is of great benefit to the improvement of strength!
Therefore, at the moment when fate is closely related, they can't help but become impatient.
"Xue Fu, do you think Alice can advance?" The burly Sophia couldn't help but lower her voice and asked irritably.
"Opportunity is always opportunity!" Xue Fu responded lightly: "The power of fate will only point out a ray of hope for survival, but whether you can seize the opportunity and escape from that ray of hope still depends on your personal strength and luck. So, we can't help her now. The only thing we can do is to pray for her and hope that she can have good luck..."
Then, a faint sigh echoed in this empty and silent space...
