Struggle in the Steam Age

"How far is the big guy at the bottom from us?" Lawrence felt as if he had some way to hold back the monster that was climbing up below. However, if you want to use which solution, you must know the specific situation of the monster below. Thinking of this, he raised his head and asked Nora, who was floating in the sky, and was rapidly shaking her fingers to direct the silk threads to cut these insects repeatedly.

"It looks like twenty or thirty meters." After hearing Lawrence's question. Nora closed her eyes and felt it. Three or four seconds later, she opened her eyes and lowered her head to answer, "But because of the size of the other party, it seems that the only way to go up is to constantly destroy the mountain to open the way for yourself. Climbing, so it will take six to seven minutes to get up to the ground."

"If that's the case—" Lawrence hadn't screened out a feasible plan from his mind, and the swarm of insects gathered in the wall once again interrupted him with a screeching sound. Fortunately, most of the bugs were blocked inside the mountain due to everyone's attack, so this time the attack was not as effective as the first time, except that it made the earth and rock inside the mountain looser and made the surface of the mountain appear More caves for the beetles to come out of didn't do Lawrence any harm.

"Let me prepare my weapon. If there is no accident, I think I can delay the opponent for a certain period of time." Lawrence took out the greasy spell bracelet from his arms and released the spell stored in it to the mountain, spreading it on the mountain. A few layers of grease, and then use the flaming arrows of the elemental arrows infused with Bai Ze's power to completely ignite and block that piece of mountain.

In the battle just now, Lawrence found that his mastery of Bai Ze's power was particularly effective against these divine beetles. As long as it is the magic infused with Bai Ze's power, it can easily annihilate the divine power of these beetles, and then let these spells cause huge damage to the beetle swarm. This is why he now uses this spell to block the mountain wall.

"Okay, but you'd better move faster." After Lawrence finished all this, a priest of Fortune Church stepped forward to fill the gap left by his retreat and shouted to him, and then he He took out a large handful of gold powder from a box and sprinkled it into the air. In an instant, the gold powder turned into little golden flames and sprinkled into the sea of ​​insects, burning a large area of ​​insects to ashes.

"Let me think about it, ha, here it is." Lawrence muttered in a low voice, turned his body sideways, and then used the space bag on his waist as a cover to take out some things he had prepared before from the astral plane. Soon, three giant iron balls with a diameter of about one meter were taken out by Lawrence.

This thing is one of the many results of Lawrence's research. With the great improvement of productivity in this plane and the improvement of jackal people's manual skills. Lawrence also slowly began to let these jackals work for him, such as turning the new inventions he had imagined from drawings into real objects.

And this thing is one of the few things that has been sampled, a trigger mine that looks like a small spiked iron ball in appearance. The reason why he tried to invent this weapon was mainly because his territory was now on an island, and he had neither the money nor the manpower to build a navy in a short period of time, and mines could just make up for the problems in ocean defense.

Because of the consideration of destroying the heavy ironclad ship, Lawrence filled the mine with 400 kilograms of new explosives. And now Lawrence needs to use these high-yield explosives to cause damage to the mountain, hoping to slow down the monsters living here, especially the speed of the big guy at the bottom.

After installing the detonator, Lawrence immediately called a paladin of the goddess of the earth to help him carry the mine. Because the paladin of the goddess of the earth used some kind of magic. Not only is his body covered with a thick layer of mud and stones as a protection, making him look like a two-story earth and rock giant with the same defensive power as a giant, but at the same time, as long as his feet are on the ground Then it has extraordinary strength bonus.

"Drink—" After Lawrence briefly stated his request, the paladin nodded slightly and grabbed the end of the iron chain on the three mines that was originally used to fix the mines. Then he let out a light drink, covering his body with a layer of khaki light, and then he suddenly lifted the three mines.

After the three mines left the ground, the paladin grabbed the chain and shook the mines. Then, with the help of inertia, it slowly rotated the mine, which looked like it was waving these three large meteor hammers. When the torpedo rotated to a certain speed, the paladin took a sharp step forward and at the same time let go of the hand holding the iron chain.

In an instant, three sea mines came out of the paladin's hands, lined up in the air and flew towards the entrance of the cave with the sound of the wind. into the hole. And just a second before letting go, the paladin shouted in his thick voice, "Defense!"

After hearing the shout, everyone got ready. The paladins in front all blessed their bodies with magic spells and raised their shields in a defensive posture, while the spellcasters behind them also showed their magical powers and displayed their various abilities. All kinds of spells protect themselves. Just when everyone was getting ready for defense, the three mines flew into the cave and hit the wall at the first corner of the cave.

The moment the mine touched the cave wall, the trigger fuze on one mine was activated immediately, detonating the high explosives loaded in the mine, and then detonating the other two mines to form a chain explosion. More than one ton of high explosives instantly released huge energy in the cave.

"Boom——" Lawrence and the others outside could only hear a continuous explosion, and then a ball of flames flew out of the hole with a billowing heat wave and a large number of stones, hitting the shields of the paladins and the priests. There was a thumping sound on the magic protection, forcing them to temporarily give up the attack and defend with all their strength.

At the same time, in such an explosion, a large number of black beetles were crushed into pieces by the high temperature and impact force generated by the explosion. The power of the gods did give these beetles a vitality that normal beetles could not have and a higher defense against various forces, but this did not mean that they could survive these explosions that were enough to kill humans.

Especially because the explosives exploded in the mountain, most of the explosive force of the explosives rebounded repeatedly inside the mountain, which made the effect of these explosives explode much better than the effect of exploding in an open area. This also led to the fact that among the large group of beetles hiding in the mountain before, only those bugs far away from the explosion center could survive smoothly.

After discovering that all the rocks brought up by the explosion had fallen, everyone poked their heads out from behind the defense again, and prepared to take this opportunity to set up a batch of traps amidst the sound of the explosion echoing in the valley. But before they had time to start work, there were bursts of rumbling sounds from inside the mountain.

These rumbling sounds seemed to come from the innermost part of the mountain, and it sounded like countless big iron balls rolling on iron plates. In just a few seconds, the sound became louder and louder, even catching up with the explosions just now.

"Fast back, fast back, the landslide is falling." Before Lawrence could figure out what these voices were, a priest of the Earth Goddess Church next to him changed his face and shouted. After hearing the priest's warning, everyone immediately gave up their previous preparations and quickly ran in the direction of the technicians who were about to perform the ceremony of communicating with the gods just now.

Behind them, the voice inside the mountain became louder and louder. At the same time, a large amount of dust rushed out from the small holes and crevices made by countless bugs on the mountain, dyeing the surrounding air a khaki-yellow color like a sandstorm.
