Struggle in the Steam Age

"I have a solution." Lawrence opened the interspatial bag and took out the small grenade launcher given to him by the dwarf Eugene, and then said to Zhu Yan after filling it with a grenade. "If the opponent doesn't move, then we can use some more powerful weapons."

"This thing looks pretty good, it should be some kind of small artillery." Zhu Yan, who is an expert in gunpowder weapon manipulation, quickly saw what Lawrence was holding in his hand, "Actually, I also thought of it just now. Explosives are used, but I only have the throwing ones, and there's a good chance they will bounce back and hurt us."

"This thing has just been invented in my factory, and now only the White Eagle Federation is selling it. But if you want, I can send a telegram to ask them to mail you a copy." After speaking, Lawrence raised his hand. After aiming the grenade launcher in his hand, it shot into the middle of the giant snake, and directly exploded a fleshy firework.

"You guys take a step back now, it's best to hide in the cave we just came in." Lawrence said to the others after watching the grenade explode smoothly. "It's too strange that the snake on the opposite side is staying there and being beaten. You'd better retreat to a safe place."

"This—alright." After thinking about it, Zhu Yan agreed to Lawrence's proposal, walked into the hole two or three meters away from them with Okita Sakura, and then leaned on a big rock and aimed his gun at the giant road. snake.

Because he also felt that the current situation was indeed a bit abnormal, and he and Okita Sakura had better act according to Lawrence's instructions instead of standing in the original position and getting in the way. But at this time, he also found someone who could. Always support Lawrence Their place is ready to support the two of them when the situation is not right.

Safir did not leave, but took out a full metal infantry shield from the space bag and blocked it in front of Lawrence. In her opinion, this should reduce the damage and buy time for a reasonable response when facing the possible attack of the giant snake.

When everything was arranged, Lawrence continued his attack. At the beginning, the giant snake could bear it, but as Lawrence shot one after another. The giant snake finally realized that its plan to launch a surprise attack while Lawrence and the others relaxed their vigilance was now completely bankrupt.

So when another small-caliber grenade fell on its body and exploded, it suddenly hid its upper body into the balled body. Then an ominous emerald green light began to seep out from under the giant snake's skin little by little, as if countless lights were suddenly lit up inside the giant snake's body.

"Be careful!" Lawrence, who had been tense all the time, immediately sounded the alarm, and then pulled Safir back. At the same time, Syfy bent down and raised her shield to prepare for a possible attack. At the same time, Nora, who had been flying all the way to the sky to guide Lawrence where the shells would fall, also accelerated her speed and maneuvered on the stalactites on the top of the cave.

But at this time, the giant snake, which had been clumsy and slow just now, moved much faster this time. After only one second, the entire surface of the giant snake was covered with a layer of green light, and then it exploded violently.

"Drink!" At the same time, a golden light flowed from Safir's hand and covered the shield in her hand. Then it successfully blocked the giant snake's flesh and blood splashing around like bullets, and at the same time made a barking sound. After the explosion, Lawrence was surprised to see the pits and pits on the tower shield that Safir had just raised that was corroded by the splashed flesh and blood.

"Don't underestimate me!" At this time, a crisp and angry shout sounded in Lawrence's mind. At this time, he realized that the skeleton of the giant snake jumped up like a dragon under the cover of the flesh and blood at the time of the explosion, trying to bite Nora who was flying in the air, and Nora used the stronger The mobility shuttled among the countless stalactites, causing the skeleton of the giant snake to repeatedly bite into the air.

"What the hell were we fighting just now?" Seeing the much more ferocious giant snake skeleton, Safiel threw away the shield in his hand and showed a shocked expression. "Just now this thing is clearly—"

"I recognize what this is." Looking at the skeleton of the giant snake that kept raising its upper body to attack the little puppet Nala and bit off pieces of gravel, Lawrence finally found a word that could correspond to this thing from his memory. that part of the memory. "This should be a rare undead creature in the Peacock Empire: the Skeleton Naga."

Naga is a unique creature of the Peacock Empire. According to legend, it has the ability to control the flow of water and make clouds and rain. At the same time, some Naga even became some river gods of the Mauryan Empire. This is why it chased after Nora after Nora appeared, because Nora's smell of Nile priesthood was very attractive to it, even though it was a huge difference from when it was alive as an undead creature.

The vast majority of Naga will decay physically after death, and their souls will go to the kingdom of God where they believe in the gods. It's just that some of them will still change into undead creatures. At the same time, because undead creatures can spend a long time through a long period of dormancy, the undead creature skeleton Naga transformed into after the death of this Naga is often used by the people of the Peacock Empire to guard some important things.

Naturally, this is why adventurers often encounter undead creatures in the ruins during the adventure. After all, compared to the expensive, complex manufacturing and maintenance of magic mechanisms, defensive magic circles, and alchemy puppets, the use of undead creatures is the cheapest and simplest of these defense methods that can last for thousands of years.

So it's not too strange that this undead creature appears here, and an important reason why Lawrence didn't recognize this guy just now is that theoretically, there is a unicorn on top of Naga's head. The horn was lost for some unknown reason, and the fracture was covered in flesh and blood. So much so that Lawrence didn't see Naga, the most representative feature in appearance.

"Then what should we do now?" Safiel said anxiously, watching the skeleton Naga persevere in chasing and killing the little puppet Nora flying around on the top of the cave. In her opinion, the huge difference in size between the small doll and the huge skeleton Naga is equivalent to the difference in strength between them, so she naturally looks very nervous.

"As a soul of the earth with her own land, Nora is not as fragile as we imagined." Watching the chasing and fleeing game between the little puppet and the Naga corpse, Lawrence comforted Safiel and said that it might be because of concern Because of the chaos, Safiel never realized that the rhythm of chasing and fleeing was completely controlled by Nola, and the skeleton Naga was obviously amused by her now.

Not to mention that Nora has already expressed to Lawrence through the soul connection that everything is under her control now, and she can win this battle by giving her a little time.

Of course, it makes sense that Nora now has the advantage. After all, her current extraordinary level is a master level, and this skeleton naga, regardless of her size, is an expert level one level lower than Nala. If it weren't for the fact that this skeleton Naga has much more combat experience than Nora, Nora would have won the battle long ago.

However, during the battle, Nora also gradually combined the combat knowledge acquired in her mind with the real situation. This is why her advantage is getting bigger and bigger as the battle time goes by.

For example, now, Nora summoned a rough ceramic jug in her left hand, and commanded the turquoise transparent liquid with a trace of silver to form a long whip like a ribbon in the air and beat it The Skeleton Naga below is constantly causing damage to that Skeleton Naga.
