There are three elemental lords who are recognized as unprovoked in the earth elemental plane. One is the one in the gem pit, and the other is the one in the iron wall. These two can be regarded as beings at the top of magic and warriors. The third place is Odesa, the Snake King. The reason why he shouldn't be messed with is also obvious, that is, his unfathomable huge size.
To defeat an earth elemental creature, the conventional method is to smash it. If the opponent is smashed into pieces, then it is considered a win; if the opponent is smashed into powder and cannot be recovered, that is killing an elemental creature and letting it completely return to the embrace of the Earth Mother Spirit.
But with a length of several kilometers, a height of more than ten meters, and a width of almost ten meters, there is no way to lift it~! If you rub off a little of his skin and knock off a few of his scales, how much damage can it do to Snake King Odesa?
There is a saying in my hometown, if you hit a snake, it will hit you seven inches. It means to pinpoint the weak point and hit it with a stick, even the most poisonous snake will be defeated. But that refers to ordinary creatures, and the Snake King does not have such obvious weaknesses. Unless there is a way to break into his body and go straight to the core of the elf, simply attacking from the outside will make it impossible to defeat this snake king.
And getting inside...Odesa, the Snake King, was never just a snake.
Since he is an 'Elemental Lord', he must have a territory and people under his control. In other words, only by being recognized by the spirit of the Earth Mother and gaining some kind of authority recognition can one be considered an elemental lord.
What's special about the Snake King is that he himself is a 'mobile' territory recognized by the spirit of the Earth Mother. The people under his protection all live inside and outside his body.
Of course, those who can be accepted by an elemental lord and inhabit the snake king will not be like the novice village level elemental creatures in West Wind Valley or Moon Bay. Therefore, all intruders who break into the body of the Snake King are equivalent to facing the personal guards of an elemental lord, facing endless resistance.
From this perspective, it was incredible in the eyes of other elemental creatures that someone and the Lich could break through all the way to the core of the Snake King Elf. But this was also because the two of them had no ill intentions at the beginning, and the Snake King was also very interested in them, which led to the subsequent development.
Now that he is leading the robot tribe and meets the Snake King again, he has no idea what will happen, whether it will be a good development or a bad development. Because the fire was still in his hands, Lin noticed some very special changes the moment Orion defeated Pablo, and thus understood some of the special operating laws of this world.
The term 'Elemental Lord' is not just a power granted by superior nobles like human nobles, or a name with purely symbolic meaning. Rather, it is recognized by a world, has a deeper connection with the spirit of Mother Earth, and together maintains the existence of the elemental plane, and is given the title. Therefore, elemental lords have their own regional divisions and are related to the number of creatures under their jurisdiction.
Using the example of the earth, assume that all elemental creatures are connected by physical lines and are computers in the same network segment. The earth mother spirit is the host that manages all computers on this network. In order to ensure network quality, a hub or switch must be installed at regular intervals to regenerate and amplify the signals transmitted through the RJ-45 cable.
The function of the elemental lord in this world is like a hub or switch. In order to firmly integrate all elemental creatures, elemental lords are necessary.
This is why after an elemental lord is challenged, the victorious party will inherit such power and become the next elemental lord. This makes everyone misunderstand that the elemental lord will only be the one who can fight the most in a region. In fact, the "best ability to fight" is just an additional result of ensuring that the "network" that maintains the entire world will not be disconnected, and is not a necessary condition.
So when Orion defeated Pablo, the power of the elemental lord overflowed from the dismembered body of the giant bear. According to the rules of the world, this power should belong to the winner, the leader-level robot Orion. But for some reason, the tall robot holding the bear's head high failed to absorb this power. Instead, it floated towards Lin and was absorbed by the fire from the robot's source.
Whether this is good or bad, no one can comment for the time being. And the Snake King Odessa, who is also an elemental lord, appears at this time. No one can judge whether what will happen next will be good or bad.
Just look at the towering snake head overlooking everyone, and there is no trace of emotion. Not to mention the elemental creatures who were frightened by the robots, they all shrank under the gaze of this giant snake; even the robots who had just won a battle, faced such a huge opponent, they suddenly felt like rats. The feeling of pulling a turtle and having no idea where to start.
Can you destroy the opponent by focusing the railgun's fire?
This question that appeared in the minds of most robots had not yet come up with a result. Everyone was suddenly shocked! The aura of the Snake King standing straight up into the sky is scary enough. However, with his back to the sun, countless fluorescent lights appeared in the shadow of his abdomen. Everyone understood that this was caused by the elemental creatures parasitic on the Snake King's body, staring into their own jade eyes and reflecting the weak light from the backlight.
Was he aware of his malicious intentions and preparing for war? Such doubts arose in everyone's mind. The next moment, everyone looked panicked and fled in all directions. Because the Snake King raised his body and threw himself down towards the battlefield.
Those elemental creatures that surrendered panicked and chose their own way. With the support of the tactical command platform, the robots can also calculate the exact location of the Snake King after he falls, so they only need to avoid this area. No one thought to resist or withstand the giant snake that jumped down.
Lin and Fen did not move away, because they could see that the snake king was rushing towards them, and the snake's head was facing them. In the end, as calculated, the snake king did not fall on top of his head, but the snake's head fell not far ahead. With a bang, the sky was filled with dust.
When the Snake King landed, the noise caused was not small at all. In addition to the misty dust in the sky, it also caused a small earthquake. The two magicians used a trick to lift themselves slightly off the ground to avoid being shaken to pieces. There were no robots that were smashed, but many elemental creatures that couldn't escape were smashed.
So, what happens next? Lin Cai was thinking this in his mind, and noise like snowflakes suddenly appeared in the corner of his field of vision.
This is……?
When the tactical command platform screen in the field of vision returned to normal, a row of complex mathematical formulas suddenly appeared, mainly trigonometric functions. Lin looked at it carefully and realized that it was a boomerang trajectory formula developed based on Bernoulli's law and used in physics.
And this formula is still on the platform and has been reviewed over and over again. It can be imagined that this giant snake is extremely excited now. Especially after Fen joined the conversation with his mathematical formula, the speed of the screen refreshed increased by another level. It was obvious that the Snake King's mood became even higher after receiving the response.
It’s just that someone’s inner feeling is that pets may make people feel cute if they are cute. But when a behemoth like the Snake King acts cute, it just makes people feel so scary...
