Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 223: Skeleton

"I have a way." As Lawrence opened the space bag and took out the small grenade launcher that the dwarf Eugene gave him, he filled it with a grenade and said to Zhu Yan. "If the opponent does not move, then we can use some more powerful weapons."

"This thing looks pretty good, it should be some kind of small artillery." Zhu Yan, an expert in gunpowder weapon manipulation, quickly saw what the thing Lawrence was holding in his hand, "Actually I thought about it just now. I use explosives, but I only have the one that is thrown. It may bounce back and hurt us by accident."

"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 telegraph now and ask them to mail a copy to you." After saying that, Lawrence raised it. The grenade launcher in his hand aimed for a moment and then hit the center of the giant snakes, directly exploding a fleshy firework.

"You should step back now. It's best to hide in the cave where we just entered." Lawrence said to others after watching the grenade explode smoothly. "It's so strange that the snake on the other side is staying there and being beaten. You'd better retreat to a safe place."

"This-okay." After thinking about it, Zhu Yan agreed to Lawrence's proposal and walked into the hole two or three meters away with Okita Sakura, and then relied on a big rock and aimed a gun at the giant snake.

Because he also felt that the current situation was indeed a little abnormal, it was better for him and Okita Sakura to act according to Lawrence's instructions instead of standing in the original position. But at this time he also looked for a capable. The place to support Lawrence and the others is ready to support both of them when things are wrong.

Safir did not leave, but took out an all-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 a possible attack from the giant snake.

When everything was arranged, Lawrence continued his attack. At the beginning, the giant snake was able to endure, but with Lawrence's first shot. The giant snake finally realized that his plan to make a surprise attack while Lawrence and the others relaxed their vigilance is now completely bankrupt.

So when another small-caliber grenade fell on itself and exploded, it suddenly hid its upper body into a group of bodies. Then the unknown emerald green light began to seep out from under the giant snake's skin little by little, as if countless lights suddenly lit up in the giant snake's body.

"Be careful!" Lawrence, who had been straining his nerves, immediately sounded the alarm, and then pulled Syfiel back. Sai Fei simultaneously bent over and raised his shield to prepare for a possible attack. At the same time, Nora, who had been flying to the sky to instruct Lawrence to point the shells, 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 awkward and sluggish, moved much faster this time. Only a second later, the entire giant snake was covered with a layer of green light, and then it exploded suddenly.

"Drink!" At the same time, a golden ray of light flowed out of Syfiel's hand and covered the shield in her hand. Then smoothly blocked the giant snake's flesh and blood splashing around like bullets and made a babble sound. After the explosion, Lawrence was surprised to see the pits and pits corroded by the splashing flesh and blood on the shield that Syfiel had just raised.

"Don't underestimate me!" At this time, a clear anger sounded in Lawrence's mind. Only then did he discover that the bones of the giant snake used the flesh and blood of the explosion as a cover, and jumped up like a dragon, trying to bite Nora flying in the air, and Nora used a stronger one. Mobility shuttles between countless stalactites, causing the bones of the giant snake to repeatedly bite.

"What ghost were we fighting just now." Looking at the giant snake bones that were more ferocious than just now, Syfiel dropped the shield in his hand and showed a look of shock. "Just now, this thing clearly—"

"I recognize what this is." Looking at the giant snake bones that kept raising the upper body to attack the little doll Nara and biting down pieces of rubble, Lawrence finally found out from his memory that it could correspond to this thing. That part of memory. "This should be a rare undead creature in the Peacock Empire: Bone Naga."

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

Most naga will decay physically after death, and their souls go to the kingdom of gods where they believe in gods. It's just that some of them will transform into undead creatures. At the same time, because undead creatures can spend a long time through a long period of dormancy, the undead creature bones of this kind of naga after death are 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 organs, defensive magic circles and alchemy puppets, the use of undead creatures is the cheapest and simplest of these defenses that can last for thousands of years.

So it’s not too strange for this undead creature to appear here, and Lawrence didn’t recognize the identity of this guy just now. An important reason is that in theory, the naga has a single horn on top of the head. Kokaku didn't know because of what was lost and the fracture was wrapped in flesh and blood. So that Lawrence did not see Naga, the most representative feature in appearance.

"Then what should we do now?" Seeing the bone Naga's perseverance to hunt down the little puppet Nara who was flying around on the top of the cave, Safir said anxiously. In her opinion, the huge difference in size between the little doll and the huge skeletal naga is equivalent to the difference in strength between them, so naturally they seem very nervous.

"As a soul of the earth who owns his own land~lightnovelpub.net~Nara is not as fragile as we thought." Looking at the chase and escape game between the doll and the corpse of Naga, Lawrence comforted Sefil Speaking of it, maybe because of care and chaos, Syfiel didn't realize that this chase and escape rhythm was completely controlled by Nora, and the skeletal Naga was obviously amused by her now.

Not to mention that Nara has already indicated to Lawrence through the soul connection that everything is now under her control, and giving her a little time can win the battle.

Of course, it makes sense that Nora has an advantage now. After all, her current transcendence level is a master level, and this bone-naga is not a big one, but her transcendence level is one level lower than Nara's expert level. Had it not been for this bone-naga that was indeed much richer in combat experience than Nora, Nora would have won the battle long ago.

However, during the battle, Nora also combined the combat knowledge gained in her mind with the reality little by little. This is why she has more and more advantages over time.

For example, now, Nora summoned a rough pottery jug in her left hand, and directed a turquoise transparent liquid with a hint of silver light to form a long whip like a ribbon in the air. The skeletal naga at the bottom continuously caused damage to that skeletal naga.
