Chapter Twenty-Three: White Bones? ocean
After 8 hours of transformation, the sea of bones turned into a sea of bones. It may be hard to understand, but it's just the way it is...... The sea of bones is filled with seawater, forming a sea tens of meters deep and thousands of square kilometers! Looking ahead, you can see the black water and the white hill that is outcropping, which is made of white bones. Corrosive seawater poured into the "City of Waiting" from the city gates, overflowing the streets and alleys, and rushing into various functional buildings, killing the middle and low-level necromantic creatures. One demonized plant after another withered in the sea and turned into black slag.
"Teacher Jiangchen, look at the good things you have done...... Qingyi's heart is dripping blood, but he can't find anyone to scold - as soon as the old slippery head of the general's minister knew that the big thing was not good, he slipped away to an unknown place, and he hasn't come up yet. This is the most important thing to control the disaster.
Although the city gates were closed, the water level in the city was still half a person's high. The original NPCs of each functional building are stationed in the joint research center, but the newly trained helpers are still in the shop, and they are all dissipated in the sea. Some of the fast-running NPCs (mainly Ghost Hounds and Ghost Wolves) have come to the Altar of Sunset Shadow, because there is not enough space, and they have to stack Arhats; The flesh slime was stuck to the outer wall of the building, and its small body was still shaking, for fear of falling into the water and turning into protein fragments; The rotting vultures grabbed the Dead Spider sent by the City Lord's Mansion and weaved a sturdy rope web on the roof for rescue work.
"Sweetheart, be careful!"
In the face of this sudden flood, players are also quite troubled. A male player simply carried his girlfriend on his back and trekked on the street with one foot deep and one foot shallow, while his girlfriend always paid attention to his boyfriend's soul value and fed him to drink soul potions, which seemed to be affectionate between the two.
The Joint Research Center is relatively well protected, because the ghoul leader Grande, who was sitting in front of the gate for supper, turned back to his original form and blocked the gate with his body as soon as he saw the big waves crashing against him. When the staff rushed over to take waterproof measures, Grande followed Brian's command and gulped down the seawater.
"No, it's not tasty......" the huge ghoul sobbed, burying his head in the black water in desperation.
After the intervention of a group of life and professional subordinates led by Brian, the disaster was gradually controlled, and the water level dropped to the current half-height level. The "dry bone phosphorus powder", which absorbs a lot of water, is released into the neighborhood by the nocturnal peregrine falcon, and the demonic plants are repeatedly spawned and absorb seawater.
"Host, your army has suffered a defeat, and your hometown has become like this, it's really 'the roof is broken but it rains heavily for several nights'." Xue Duo gloated a little.
"You don't speak, no one treats you as dumb." Qingyi is fierce and authentic. He examined the soul field with concern to see how many of the city's people were still alive: "The low-lying places are ...... Alas. The withered tree is fine, thankfully. Well? What's going on in prison! β
Xue Duo heard the excitement in the host's words: "Could it be that Jack of the Thousand Colored Flowers was drowned in the sea?" β
"That's right! The sea water poured into the dungeon, not only did the sword-kissed tarantula and many demonic plants die, but even Jack's soul force field disappeared! Looks like the system didn't treat me too badly! Qingyi's heart was lifted.
Jack of Thousand Colored Flowers is the boss of the demonic plants, and has always refused to accept Qingyi's control, but Qingyi has always been unable to do anything about it - it can make all the plants in the city share the damage for it, and it can also drive most of the bird monsters and insect monsters. Although Qingyi once used the magic cannon to issue death threats, Qiancaihua was only a little more peaceful, and never surrendered, which can be regarded as an unstable factor in the "City of Waiting". And today, the sea poured into the city, killing Jack of the Thousand Colored Flowers, and Qingyi was blessed by misfortune.
"Brian! Any idea why there is seawater coming in? β
Qingyi didn't ask anyone, and was the first to name the subordinate with the best brain. The other party really did his homework and said in an orderly manner: "Your Majesty, this is because of the earthquake." Lord Shochen launched an oriental technique similar to [Five Ghost Transport], but it was much more powerful, directly tearing the earth's crust apart. According to his idea, it was probably to drain the River Styx deep underground, but he forgot that the Sea of Bones was very close to the Starlight Ocean, and when the earth's crust changed, the sea water would invade the land along the groundwater system, and even form a saltwater lake inland. At present, the White Bone Ocean and the Xinghui Ocean form a siphon system, and the sea surface must be at the same level as the Xinghui Ocean. β
Seawater intrusion? Siphon? It's tiring to talk to intellectuals, who always say a lot of scientific words that you don't understand. Qingyi sneered for a moment, and then asked, "Is there a way to eliminate the seawater?" The sea of bones is full of seawater, making travel even more inconvenient. β
"I can't." Brian sighed, "First of all, we can't detect where the inlet is. The groundwater is intricately intertwined, and there may be one inlet or more than a dozen. Second, our current technology is not enough to allow technicians to stay under seawater for a long time, because seawater is extremely corrosive and it is difficult for low- and medium-level necromantic organisms to survive. At last...... The spell ban laid by Lord Chancellor is not broken. β
"Wouldn't it? So, you go ahead and direct the rescue work, and I'll see if there's another way. Qingyi waved his scepter and cut off the wavelength.
At this time, Su'er ran over with tears in her eyes, threw herself into Qingyi's arms, and then cried loudly: "Dad, my hands are swollen!" Woowoowoo......"
"What's the matter? Let me see. "Qingyi's business is not over yet, and this daughter is bothering him again. He raised his little hand, only to see five more cyan finger marks on his white lotus-like wrist, and he was angry: "Who did it?!" β
"Yes, it's Ge...... Woowoowoo...... I played hide and seek with him, and when he found me, he scratched me, it hurt...... Woowoowoo...... I hate him! β
As soon as he heard that Grande did it, Qingyi's anger disappeared by half. Even if the super-level demonic beast maintains its human form, it is also unrivaled in strange power; In addition, Grande's head is not bright, and he is thankful that he didn't crush Sao'er's little hand at once. Now it seems that it is necessary to change jobs for Grande, if one day he really hurts Suo'er, where will Qingyi cry?
"Hey! Don't cry, don't cry, huh? My daughter is the strongest! Qingyi coaxed softly, rubbed her daughter's wrist, and kissed a few times busily: "Good, dad will help you teach Xiaoge a lesson!" I'll send it to the front and help Uncle Scowl fight in a minute, okay? β
"Let Xiao Ge go to war? Don't, it's so cowardly! Suo'er wiped her nose with her father's clothes, tried her best to stop her tears, and smiled: "Dad, I'm fine, don't let Xiaoge go to such a dangerous place, okay?" I love playing with him! β
Oops, the girl's mind is really unpredictable, one second she said she hated others, and the next second she liked it...... Qingyi pinched Suo'er's little nose angrily: "I sent Xiaoge to the front line for something important!" Uncle Scowl has no one to use, and if Ge doesn't go, Aunt Nave and Uncle Frankie will be in danger! β
"Huh? ......" Suo'er's face was discolored, so she was anxious: "Dad, then hurry up and send Xiaoge to go!" β
I thought, but now that the sea of bones has become like this, is it possible to ask Grande to swim over? He's going to choke on water and run back crying. Qingyi smiled: "Little fool, don't you usually have no playmates?" It's rare to have Xiaoge with you, why do you still let him go to the battlefield? So what do you do? β
"I, it's okay with me, as long as Uncle Frankie and Aunt Nave are safe, I'm very satisfied......" Suo'er was a little gloomy at first, and then smiled sweetly: "Dad, I'm very sensible, right?" β
Qingyi hugged Suo'er and sighed. This child must be very afraid that an acquaintance will become the second black mother. Why should there be so many painful things in the world for children to be strong and grow up in tears?
After being hugged for a while, Suo'er broke away from Qingyi's embrace and grimaced: "There is such a big mess in the sea of bones, Dad, you must be very busy, right?" I'm going to play, you can get to work quickly! ~" With that, the bird left the room as well.
And Qingyi was so heavy that he couldn't speak.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
When the Bone Tyrant appeared on the front line of disaster relief, the staff in charge of unclogging the sewers bowed their heads in fear, asking His Majesty to forgive them for their ineffective sins. However, Qingyi didn't say anything, just waved the scepter and helped the disaster with everyone. As soon as his [Soul Force Field] opened, it was like an invisible barrier to isolate the sea water, restoring a clean ground. He was Moses.
When he came to the city wall, the shadow under him folded to form a black box of three cubic meters. Then the shadow helped him to the wall, and then opened the crate under the wall and poured out the water from the crate. The dignified King of the Necromancy actually did the most boring and boring carrying work, which made the people unbelievable.
"Boss !!"
Waltpole Karen, the animal trainer who commanded the birds to rescue his people, trotted all the way to the wall, elated: "Damn, you see, there is finally a sea this time, right?" I want to keep dolphins, I want to keep blue whales! β
Qingyi was about to say no, when suddenly a flash of inspiration: yes, why can't you raise fish? In fact, the traffic problem is easy to solve! He connected the middle joint, so he smiled and patted Waterpoyler: "That's right, go raise it!" Send a quest to Snow City and let the adventurers bring back the bones of the Sea Monster! Remember to tell them that the bigger the bones you bring back, the bigger the reward! β
"Roger! Hahaha, I hope those adventurers crash into the sea dragon! Walter Poyler whistled, and turned to leave, when he tripped over somethingβa mottled vine! The vines grew very quickly, and at once they covered the walls and occupied the top of the walls, and they were getting thicker and thicker.
Look at the city again, and there are crazy vines everywhere, and the vines sprout heart-beating flower bones, which instantly bloom into a stinking variegated flower the size of a puffy basin, and the stamens shoot yellow-green pollen with a few twitches...... Under the blowing of the wind, the pollen mist covers the entire "Waiting City", and many necromantic creatures are also dyed green! The messy variegated flowers withered and bore fruit in an instant, and the pods fluttered and exploded, shooting out soybean-sized seeds. As soon as the seed fell into the water, it only took two or three seconds for it to grow into a demonic plant, and the root system and the mother body were immediately entangled, regardless of each other! However, many undead creatures screamed and were dragged into the water by the vines, turning them into nutrients, and several unlucky players also died!
"This is my city, Jack, don't go too far!" When Qingyi saw this situation, he couldn't help but brew a killing machine.
"Am I excessive?! You corpses are supposed to melt into the earth and be used as fertilizer! With a high-pitched, arrogant voice, a vine of two or three people came out of the center of the Wandering Soul Square, and it opened the small cemetery like a wild dragon, spiraling and coiling on the withered tree, startling a large group of nocturnal falcons! The withered tree rattled and its trunk snapped, and the burning crown was extinguished.
The thick vine was not satisfied, and countless tentacles stretched out from its surface, stabbing into the withered tree, and parasitizing it in a grand manner! The vine grew at the top of a withered tree, and in a matter of seconds a flower bloomed, the size of a round table for twelve people in the center alone, and the stamens were pure gold; The petals are thousands of weights, each of which is a different color, which can be described as colorful.
Colorful flowers, not dead.
