Headshot Wizard - Chapter 503
Chapter 503: The Valley of God’s Punishment
“Crimson Scorpion? What is this?”
When Lance returned to the deck, he couldn’t help asking the first unfamiliar term he heard.
The process of capturing the blonde woman is very simple. Lance followed her and flew out of the ship-because the protective cover of the floater is limited in energy, generally in a safe area, it will not be opened, only a thin layer will be added to the outside. Thin air filter membranes are used to increase the oxygen content on the deck. After all, most of the passengers on flights are mortals.
Naturally, this layer of air filter membrane could not stop the blonde girl. The problem was that after she jumped off the sky, Dongfang immediately flew over a black magic carpet and picked her up.
Lance had the ability to keep her, but he didn’t do it because he had his concerns.
So he quickly returned to the deck.
However, the acting captain named Regis told him sadly about the possible origins of the blonde girl.
“The little scorpion you pulled out of Ji’an’s hair just now looks very much like a group of robbers who have been active on this route recently. Its organization name is the Scarlet Scorpion. The leader of the Scarlet Scorpion is A fierce woman, in the past year, at least three batches of airship flights have disappeared inexplicably-and different from other robbers, this robber organization is very high-profile, they call themselves Scarlet Scorpion, and declare that they are willing to disappear. The pontoon is in charge.”
“Deciduous Hills and the mountain city Gordon have teamed up twice to try to pull up the biggest tumor on this route, but they failed because they couldn’t find the crimson scorpion’s den at all.”
“Anyway, this is a difficult opponent. I have to contact the captain immediately and the other persons in charge of the floater…”
After saying these words in a hurry, Regis left the deck, entered the cockpit and started contacting the top management of the floater.
And Lance stood on the deck, silently looking at the floating boats lined up behind him, showing a contemplative look.
The desert is still so far away, it seems that it will never come to an end, but he knows that at the current speed, he will reach the most dangerous place on this route-the Valley of God’s Punishment in the fastest three days.
In fact, the protective cover of the airship is mainly designed to deal with the cruel natural environment of the Valley of Punishment-and the mysterious monsters.
On the eve of this storm, the shadow of a robber organization like the Scarlet Scorpion appeared, which made people a little worried.
“I hope it’s just a false alarm…”
He went south this time with only one purpose, and that was to obtain Aiken whale oil. He really didn’t want to interfere with other things. After all, entering the second-level high-level wizard is very close to the third-level wizard.
…
“Those guys with their heads in the water actually told me this was just a false alarm!?”
In the bar of the airship, facing Regis’s roar, Lance kindly reminded him: “I remember that the airship seems to be conditioned and the driver can’t drink.”
Regis held up a large glass of absinthe, poured it in, then wiped the foam from his beard, and said lonely: “I have been dismissed temporarily. I really don’t understand it. It’s such important information. Did not reward me, but also refuted me that this was my misjudgment!”
“Misjudgment? It’s ridiculous. Both you and the poor Ji An can testify to me. That thing is the Crimson Scorpion! The members of the Crimson Scorpion organization will use similar transformation techniques!”
Lance thoughtfully said: “It’s not necessarily. The members of the Crimson Scorpion can transform, but the people who can become the Pink Scorpion are not necessarily members of the Crimson Scorpion.”
“That said, but I always feel that something is wrong.”
The beard frowned and said: “No other floats have encountered this situation. Only our floats encountered this. This is completely unreasonable. Perhaps this is the main reason why they think I am misjudged. After all, if the blushing If the Scorpion really wants to start, it will definitely not only work on the power cabin of one of the floating boats. You know, we have 14 floating boats!”
Lance tentatively asked, “Could it be that they didn’t find it?”
“It’s impossible!” Regis shook his head and said, “The people on the other floats were trained like me. There is no reason to be careless, especially when it is near the [Valley of God’s Punishment]. Airboat pilots will be more vigilant-to enter the power cabin, they must pass through the cockpit, which is the core design of the airship.”
“So it seems that we may have been worrying too much.”
Lance said so.
Snap!
Regis threw the wine glass on the table angrily, and roared, “I’ll give Lao Tzu another glass!”
…
In the dark night, a few watchmen on the deck were talking boringly about some nasty jokes. At this moment, a potbellied wizard walked over.
“captain!”
“Hi Captain!”
The watchers hurriedly changed their previously lazy posture.
The wizard wears a gold belt around his waist, and carries a magic whip in his hand-this is a whip specially formulated for the captain by the goblin who designed the floater. This whip has no effect if it leaves the float, but as long as it is on the float, the captain can use the magic whip to command everything on the float—temporarily turn, open the protective cover, and even direct the cable to kill people. .
Therefore, except for a few wizards, most of the people on the float boat are still in awe of the captain, especially the staff.
The captain snorted coldly, and didn’t say anything to blame these lazy watchers. He had known the virtues of these guys a long time ago, and he was used to it.
He walked into the cockpit by himself-at night, besides the lanterns on the bow and stern, the cockpit lights were on.
A driver is working conscientiously.
“Master Captain!”
“Well, be more vigilant.” The captain said with satisfaction: “We will add precautions to the cockpit, so that if the Crimson Scorpion wants to enter the power cabin, it will become as difficult as climbing.”
“It’s my lord! I have transferred all the good guards on the ship to the outside of the cockpit.” The man said, “But I’m a little surprised. Why should I depose the guy who found the Scarlet Scorpion?”
The captain whispered: “This is our decision after the overnight meeting of high-level leaders. The Scarlet Scorpion is a difficult organization, but they are used to the smooth wind, it will inevitably breed pride. This time, we will let it be planted on us. In hand! We are not ordinary cargo ships. The members of [Nightingale] and [Cheetah] in the Eastern Council are evenly distributed on every floater, not to mention our own people in the Chamber of Commerce. The reason why we pretended to ignore this The threat is to seduce the Scarlet Scorpion!”
The man suddenly realized: “I understand, in this case, the protection of the power cabin is even more important.”
“It’s just that I have one more question.” He asked, “Where is the protective shield? Will the Crimson Scorpion be tricky over there?”
“No.” The captain said with a sneer: “For real wizards, the protective cover is not effective. And as far as I know, the general method of the Scarlet Scorpion is to make the floater lose its power, and then be killed by them. Towed away by the vehicle. As for destroying the protective cover, it is completely meaningless to them. After all, this thing is used to deal with monsters.”
“In a word, do everything you can to strengthen the protection of the power compartment and the cockpit, understand?”
The driver nodded quickly.
In the shadows around the cockpit, many people were moving.
The same thing happened on the remaining thirteen float boats.
It’s just that in places where ordinary people can’t notice, one by one, black shadows emerge from the darkness like poisonous snakes.
They pretended to wander on the deck of the floater, and then figured out the location of the target building step by step.
If those captains knew the wandering routes of these shadows, they would probably react to them immediately-because these routes were completely revolving around a building.
That is the protective cabin with the protective cover function of the floating boat turned on.
…
Two days passed quickly, when Lance got up early on the third morning and climbed onto the deck to look in the distance.
A majestic mountain range was already in front of him.
This mountain range is connected to the sky, like a natural wall blocking the hills in the south and the desert in the north.
And above the mountains, there are countless air currents circling, these air currents are very dangerous, once the floating boat is involved, it will only crash!
Anyone who wants to pass this natural barrier can only pass through a very narrow gap.
This gap is located in the east of [First Mountain Range], and the width of the gap is just enough to allow a floater to fly easily.
The upper wind of the gap is the crazy air current, and the cold stone below is the only place to go in and out.
As for this mysterious and dangerous canyon, it is said that there are still many versions of the story.
At least these days Lance heard a lot on the boat.
“This place is called [Valley of God’s Punishment] for no reason. In the afternoon, almost dusk, our fleet will be able to reach the Valley of God’s Punishment. Then you will be able to see… There are bones everywhere, including humans and other alien races. It is said that a certain cross-plane battle was fought in this place… That battle lasted for hundreds of years, and I don’t know how many lives were killed.”
“In the end, these dead creatures angered the monarchs of the world of death. These undead spirits full of grievances brought them a lot of trouble-actually I don’t know too much, but it is as strange as the world of the dead, and it needs to be balanced, I guess.”
“So the monarchs of the death world joined forces to lower the divine punishment. They formed the first mountain range on the ground, separating the two fighting parties. As for this gap, it was knocked out by a demigod with his head…”
Regis stood beside Lance with some emotion and talked.
Lance blinked: “This is the fifth version of the story about the Valley of God’s Punishment that I have heard in the last three days.”
