After the Musical House players who had their acupoints sealed were handed over to the Black Armor Army led by Yang Zhi to guard them …
All the core managers of the Twin Dragon Island, including the heroes, were gathered in the conference hall.
"According to Master's detection on the Magma Island, there are three conundrums that we need to solve to deal with the Magma Monsters!"
After everyone sat down, Su Nongying, who was wearing a wireless headset, didn't waste any time and directly started the discussion.
"Firstly, the Magma Monsters are one of the ten species in our initial settlement. However, since the Eagle Men's settlement took care of them, we don't know much about them or their weaknesses. "
"Secondly, the Magma Monsters can turn into 'magma cannons' to attack. Its range can reach up to five kilometers, and its power is also very powerful. Once the islands of both sides are within its attack range, it will be very difficult for us to deal with it! "
"Thirdly, the environment that the Magma Monsters live in is too harsh for human beings. Both the magma and the venomous smoke will cause great difficulties for human beings.
Su Nongying turned on the 3D map in front of her and projected a picture of the Magma Island from the sky through the Mirage Cloud Mirror.
The area above was dark red, and it was impossible to see the Magma Monsters clearly because of the surging yellow smoke.
"I didn't find enough information about the Magma Monsters on the forum. The Confederation Office doesn't have detailed intelligence about them, either.
"Maybe it's because these creatures, like the Metal Men, are rare aliens, so not many other settlements have encountered them."
Elder Meng, who was in charge of the offline forum these days, frowned slightly.
"I learned some intelligence from a few native kids. The Magma Monsters are only the size of fists and in the form of Fire Cores. It can emit a high temperature that can melt the surrounding rocks and turn them into 'magma'. "
"The Extraordinary Magma Monsters can even condense cannonballs to launch remote attacks. Because their true bodies are always hidden in the magma, normal physical attacks can barely kill them. On the other hand, area attacks such as' music 'can cause a lot of damage to the Magma Monsters!
Shang Yan said.
In fact, that was why the Musical House settlement hadn't even reached Extraordinary Rank-6.
They were able to stop the Magma Monsters that even the Twin Dragon Island found troublesome for half a month.
"Yue Yin? In other words, this alien is more sensitive to the 'sound waves' or the 'mental energy' that's fused with it! "
Guo Wei said.
"Hmm, the possibility of it being mental power is higher."
"The Eagle Men were able to finish off the Magma Monsters too, which means that their Battle Aura might work on the Magma Monsters. Battle Aura is an extraordinary power that combines mental power and inner strength!"
"It's the same as sound attacks in terms of mental attacks."
Li Qing said.
The reason why Li Qing knew so clearly was that apart from Yan Qing, he had also cultivated Battle Aura during this period of time.
Because Battle Aura was a way to combine mental power and inner strength, it didn't conflict with the cultivation of martial arts. Also, as the spoils of war from destroying the Eagle Men's settlement, the people of the Twin Dragon Island were not restricted from practicing Battle Aura!
"The Eagle Men's settlement has accumulated a lot of 'Wind Bones' made of the bones of the fish monsters in the sea, which are enough to carry Battle Aura. The Equipment Department can build weapons as quickly as possible."
Tang Long said.
With the addition of the third batch of newcomers, the number of blacksmiths in the fort had expanded once again.
Furthermore, it wasn't just the blacksmiths, because a lot of Elite and Quasi-Commander craftsmen had just arrived!
At this moment, many manufacturing industries in the fort had professionals, and they had even been further subdivided.
"Well, if those Wind Bones are made into cannonballs … Chief Ling, is it possible for us to suppress the Magma Monsters in terms of firepower? "
Ji Ye looked at Ling Zhen, who was in charge of the firearms department.
"We can suppress them from five kilometers to five kilometers away.
"Because we've obtained the Fire Oil Refining Technology from the Snake Monkeys' settlement, the range of the Flood Dragon heavy cannons that we've manufactured with the technology in SkyNet is as good as theirs. With the Wind Bone Cannonball, the range is at least doubled.
As an Excellent hero, Ling Zhen was the only one among the early arrivals who hadn't reached Extraordinary Rank-8 yet.
Apart from his aptitude for martial arts, it was also because he had devoted a lot of his attention to firearms research and learned modern military knowledge from SkyNet.
As a result, his style of talking was similar to that of a player.
"However, according to Miss Shang, the Magma Monsters can be turned into cannons as long as they are Extraordinary.
"So, we can't compete with them in terms of numbers. We'll be suppressed when we're five kilometers away.
"Also, the Fire Cores of the Magma Monsters are hidden below the magma and can't be locked onto … If we're too far away, the accuracy of the cannonballs won't be very high, and they may not be able to cause much damage."
Ling Zhen's words made many people solemn.
"So, we have to count on melee combat!"
Su Nongying frowned.
"But how can we approach the Magma Monsters when they're under heavy firepower?"
The first problem of weakness had been resolved.
However, the problem of the second "battery" really made things difficult for him!
"Since we have advantages from five kilometers away, why don't we launch an attack during that time?
"We can try to lure the Magma Monsters to the shore first. Then, we'll march from the water and launch an assault on the shore.
"After we defeated the Ghostship, we obtained a Golden Coral. If we grind it into powder and take it, everybody will be able to breathe in seawater!
"After we get to the shore, we can resist the magma cannonballs with the shields made of red wood, just like what we did in the battle against the Eagle Men."
Ruan Xiaoer, who had returned from the Mirage Dragon Warship, spoke as the only representative of the navy.
Although the red wood was made of wood, it had excellent fireproofing abilities and could automatically recover after it was damaged.
Because of its great features and usages, the Twin Dragon Island had catalyzed a lot of red wood over the past few days. They could equip at least five hundred people with red wood shields.
They finally had an idea of how to solve the second problem.
However, the third problem, "environment", was the trickiest one to solve!
How could they engage in melee combat when the ground was full of magma and poisonous smoke?
"Master, the Eagle Men destroyed three alien settlements, namely the Sand Monsters, the Mushroom Monsters, and the Magma Monsters. Is there a sequence in the process? "
Elder Zhou, who was sitting next to Elder Meng, suddenly asked.
"Are you implying …?"
"Perhaps, the Eagle Men defeated the Magma Monsters with the resources left by the other two alien species, which had the favorable terrain?"
Qin Yueyu blinked.
"Mn, the main resources of the Mushroom Clan's stronghold are all sorts of fungus lifeforms. Although the 'Illusory Gas' that is extracted from them is able to create hallucinations in living beings, it is not able to cause hallucinations.
"But the Magma Monsters' life form is special, and it won't be very effective. Also, the temperature of the magma area is too high. Even the poisons that have been refined twice will be burnt when they are thrown in. I don't think they can deal with the Magma Monsters.
"However, we can try to refine drugs that can deal with the poisonous smoke."
Shang Yan said.
As An Daoquan's disciple, and she had learned medical skills from Reverend Yideng on the Battlefield of Providence, Shang Yan was much better than before. While An Daoquan was treating the green pipa woman and the others who had passed out again, she could totally represent the medical department of the fort.
"The gravel in the Sand Monsters' settlement should be useful.
"When these gravels come into contact with water, they can absorb the water and expand into a 'stone' form. When they come into contact with flames, they will quickly absorb the energy from the flames and transform into a high-strength material called 'fire crystal' that is similar to 'diamond' in nature."
Elder Jiao, who was in charge of the technology department, added.
"Then, if Master or Mr. Gongsun simply cast the sand into the magma from the sky, wouldn't they be able to destroy the Magma Monsters effortlessly?"
Mister Bug's eyes glittered as he thought of an idea.
"How can it be so easy?
"The gravel is an Extraordinary resource. Even though it can be nurtured with the power of providence, the Sand Monsters don't have a large territory after all. Also, a lot of it has been used to build houses for the newcomers, and the storage is limited.
"The Magma Monsters' territory is equal to twenty 'sand areas' at this moment … The sand alone can't decide the outcome of the battle."
Elder Jiao pointed at the map of the Magma Island on the 3D projector in front of Su Nongying.
Two-thirds of the island had been covered in magma, and it was spreading to the Musical House settlement that had just been occupied!
"We can make use of seawater!
"The Mirage Dragon Warship is made of the bones of a Mirage Dragon and has the ability to control water currents. Master's Flood Dragon Bloodline can also control water currents.
"With the help of Miss Nie and Miss Chu with the Melody of the Rising Tide, we should be able to direct the seawater to the shore and extinguish the magma step by step."
Ruan Xiaoer spoke again.
"The Golden Mountain Temple will be drowned. I'm sure it will be a spectacular scene!"
Many people thought of a classic scene in a story.
"My Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique has made a breakthrough. With Fellow Cultivator Lin's help, we can create a storm in a certain area. Together with General Zhao's Snow Spear, we can even snowfall on a large area … We can blow away the poisonous smoke with a strong wind and freeze the magma with rain and snow. That should work … "
Gongsun Sheng, who had advanced into Extraordinary Rank-8, spoke too.
"On the other hand, the Sea Stones in the Mirage Monsters' territory have been partly accumulated.
"Since the Magma Monsters live in magma, they might not be used to the ocean environment. Each battle participant can carry a Sea Stone and activate it to affect the enemy when they approach. "
Ruan Xiaoer spoke again.
"That's a good idea.
"Alright, I'll personally test if the Sea Stone is effective after a while. If it works, it should be a killer move against the Magma Monsters. "
Ji Ye nodded.
When the Twin Dragon Island moved, the waters around it moved with it.
That was why the Sea Stone resource point still existed.
"I bought a Fire Warding Stone in the City of Humans …" Li Yao said.
"Master, didn't you get a Red Dragon Shield after you destroyed the Specter Ship? It might be more resistant to fire than the Mahogany Shield!"
In the conference hall, all kinds of suggestions were proposed and their feasibility discussed.
Very soon, the battle plan for the Magma Monsters was settled, and some countermeasures were even proposed.
"Lastly, we need to discuss the Musical House settlement."
"Chief Ruan has taken over the guqin ship of the Musical House and checked the items on it before we came."
Then, Su Nongying reported one last thing.
