Gondor pondered for a moment and then asked: "Can peeling off the monster's skin block the green fire from the outside world? Or, does their blood have the effect of blocking the green fire?"
Tong Ba said: "We have tested and found that their scales and fur can indeed isolate green fire, but they must be relatively intact. As for blood... only active ones can have the isolation effect. Once the blood dries up, it will also burn. "
"But where do we get so many monster skins? We have to kill all the monsters in the abyss to cover this ship, right?"
"What's more, without the protection of the source of the world, monsters from the outside world are swarming. How can we resist them?"
The invasion just now was just an accident. As a result, this single monster caused more than a hundred casualties, which is enough to prove how terrifying the abyss monster is.
"But the Source of the World can only protect us for two months... Two months later, we..."
At this point in the discussion, the bearded men fell silent.
When the entire ship, plus more than 10,000 crew members, only had two months left to live, the heavy pressure surged into the heart, making people feel a sense of self-destruction.
Gondor suddenly turned around and took out an item from the room: "Irregular items, there are some among the trading items carried this time."
"Can you transform it into a defensive item to protect at least one or two warriors from the green fire? Then let these warriors go to the water to salvage minerals!"
In his hand, he held a piece of metal with a mysterious golden luster, which was called "fine gold" in the bearded man's indigenous language.
This fist-sized piece of metal weighs over a hundred kilograms!
The characteristic of "Adamantine" is "immunity to supernatural powers"!
Its yield is extremely low and its texture is hard, making it an excellent material for processing rare objects.
"This piece of fine gold was originally traded with the peak civilization, but it ended up being used here, and the world is unpredictable." Gondor sighed, "If it can save our lives, it can be considered useful."
"Admiral... This is a trade item with the peak civilization. Now we use it directly..." The first mate opened his mouth.
"I know! But if we die here, everything will be buried with us. The high-level council will not blame us." Gondor said in a non-committal tone, "Do you think this piece of fine gold can be used to make one or two defensive items? ,Is it enough?"
"Enough! Enough!" Several bearded men around him nodded quickly, took the piece of fine gold with some fanaticism, and hurried to the laboratory.
In the past, they would never have had access to such high-end materials!
"Save it!" Gondor realized something was wrong and quickly followed behind to warn him.
…
The day passed quickly. They made several fully enclosed diving suits, and the outside was plated with a thin layer of fine gold, which could isolate them from the corrosion of green fire.
The amount of fine gold used was not too much. Gondor nodded, barely satisfied.
But the question comes again, who will take the risk?
"The stakes are very high, and the outside environment is too dangerous. I decided to go to the water to salvage it myself. You don't have to persuade me. After all, there are only so many diving suits. Our error tolerance is very limited, and we have to send strong people."
Gondor touched his beard and told the story of his funeral: "If I die, Tongbaqian acting admiral, even if I only have the last two months of my life, don't give up hope of survival!"
"We, the Honggang people, should have the quality of steel! Even if we reach the last step, we will never retreat!"
"Never retreat!" The senior officials in the room shouted.
There was nothing to hesitate, and the action was quickly implemented.
There are a total of two people on the ship who have broken through the three levels of "human limits". In addition to Gondor himself, there is also a warrior named "Rhenium".
The two of them put on their diving suits and walked to a small boat.
It can't get any worse.
Gondor comforted himself thus.
The boat is like a speedboat, not big in size, and there are some diving equipment placed on it, all of which are plated with a thin layer of fine gold.
Soon, the two left the shelter of the Source of the World and entered the seeping green sea of fire.
The whole world was on fire, but the temperature was a bit chilly.
The terrifying abyss intends to burn everything in the world through this green fire.
"Rhenium, remember, within the rules, the monsters of the abyss are ten hundred times more powerful. Only outside the rules is it possible to defeat them. Now, we only know that we cannot be attacked from behind." Gondor's diving suit The structure is very strange, like a turtle shell, the purpose is to prevent sneak attacks.
"I'm going to dive into the ocean now, and you look at the ship."
"I understand." "Rhenium", who was also wearing a turtle shell diving suit, said with a loud voice.
Gondor gritted his teeth and stared blankly at the bottom of the sea, the vast horror of the deep sea coming towards him.
But he had no time to hesitate. He jumped into the water with a splash and kept swimming to the bottom.
Bursts of fiery red light bloomed from his chest. It was a wonder from the sky and could only be used for lighting now.
A pair of looming eyes were peering at him. Gondor was not distracted and just kept swimming downstream.
"It is said that they are extremely sensitive to the sight of intelligent life. It is a good thing not to pay attention."
All kinds of pollution at the bottom of the abyss are getting bigger. Even if a gold-plated diving suit can isolate most supernatural forces, just the act of "seeing" has already brought terrible psychological pressure. The cold breath penetrated into the pores from all directions.
The monster sleeping at the bottom seems likely to wake up at any time.
The admiral, known for his bravery and calmness, is facing an unprecedented psychological adjustment.
…
At this moment, "Rhenium" guarding the boat encountered trouble: a humanoid monster with green fire burning in its pupils and a height of only about 1.1 meters climbed onto the boat.
The sound of "dong dong dong" sounded, and "Rhenium" suddenly trembled, recalling the monster's attack rules, and lay down directly on the boat.
The monster couldn't sneak up on his back, and after it made a third "dong", it instantly appeared on his neck, its eyes glowing with dark green light, and its bloody mouth opened wide, revealing extremely sharp teeth.
The diving suit coated with a layer of fine gold was suddenly bitten and deformed. The monster let out a terrifying roar. Rhenium was so anxious that he shouted loudly and punched the opponent in the head with his backhand.
"Boom!"
The monster received a punch and his forehead was deflated, but it was not seriously injured. A pair of eyes looked at the diving suit strangely.
"Who said that outside the rules, it is just an ordinary monster?!" Rhenium struggled, but he knew in his heart that the monster was indeed weakened in frontal combat.
Otherwise, he would have died from the blow just now, without any chance of survival.
Suddenly, another mysterious voice came from the distance, "I am the Monkey King, the Monkey King!"
Rhenium was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat, because the sound sounded very strange and was approaching quickly.
This sound could mean another monster that doesn't know the rules!
Rhenium increased the strength in his hand and casually picked up a sharp axe. The ax blade had a sharp orange light. It was a weapon forged from the wonders of the sky.
He had to deal with this one on the ship as soon as possible and then pull the admiral up.
…
Gondor is approaching its limit!
The murmurs in his mind were crawling like ants, and the muscles all over his body were showing signs of tingling. He knew that he could not continue downwards.
"I need a better wetsuit."
But there was another voice deep in his heart. He had already dived 1,500 meters, and in the last 500 meters, there would be some kind of qualitative change in the abyss pollution.
Even with a better diving suit, he probably wouldn't be able to dive to the deepest point.
When you discover this fact, no matter how strong your mind is, you will inevitably feel a sense of frustration.
"Hey, let's go up first. We're lucky that we didn't meet any monsters along the way."
"Buzz!" Suddenly, Gondor, who was floating up, felt his butt feel numb, as if something was sticking to it. He glanced out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly felt frightened and his scalp was numb.
It was a stone emitting green flames, making an extremely terrifying sound!
There were even scenes of strange hallucinations appearing in Gondor's mind, a towering...monkey? ! !
Somersaulting with a stick and shouting some incomprehensible words? ! !
Gondor also knows that in the abyss, it is not unusual to encounter any strange monster. After all, this is the legendary abyss... No one knows how many kinds of monsters there are in the abyss.
But in such a serious environment, it’s too weird to have a monkey scene pop up in your mind!
He quickly used his hands to fiddle with the stones on his butt.
As a result, the stone shook again and made a strange sound: "Which lowly servant dares to claim to be invincible, and which lowly servant dares to claim to be invincible!"
Gondor was a little nervous and pulled the stone hard.
Shimama: "Do you know that if you abandon Lord Shimama, it is equivalent to abandoning the whole world!!"
Gondor:? ? ?
Shimama plagiarized Zhang Dadi's famous quotes. Its poor imagination really cannot create special pretentious quotes, so it is good to plagiarize some.
"This is world meeting world, you understand! Idiot!"
However, after being sprayed by it, Gondor calmed down. After all, he was also the admiral of a steamship and had experienced many big scenes. No matter what, he had to float to the surface first.
"I can actually understand the language of this stone... Could it be some kind of intelligent creature?"
"It's body is burning with green flames. Isn't it really a native creature here?"
Thinking of this, I felt an inexplicable sense of surprise, plus the stone was indeed just stuck to my butt and did not launch an attack.
Gondor thought for a moment, ignored the inexplicable stone, and continued to sneak upward.
