Become a martial girl

Chapter 392 The Problem of Air Combat
"Sister...wait for me...I'm here...to find...you..."

With a "crash", a scene that surprised Mengdie and others in the distance happened again!I saw a pair of jet-black wings about ten meters long growing out of Ke Ke's back!Under the sunlight, the darkness seemed to be able to swallow even the light!

Hormon: "Those feathers on it are not feathers, but steel...they are feathers made of black steel, and the wings made up..."

Huo Meng seemed to be in a daze, muttering an explanation to himself.But at this moment, no one is in the mood to listen to his careful explanation.

The black steel wings shook slowly, the girl squatted down halfway, gathering strength, and with the flapping of the pair of black wings, her body slowly rose into the air.When her bare feet were about half a meter off the ground, her wings flapped violently, driving the girl into the sky like a rocket!It's just that in the blink of an eye... In the blink of an eye, there is no sign of Coco in the Waterfall of No Return, leaving only the steely water surface, which foreshadows the fierce battle that took place here...

"she left."

Edward breathed a sigh of relief, and thrust the sword back into his back.The afternoon sun shone on Mengdie's body, which made her nerves finally relax. She couldn't hold on any longer, and collapsed on the deck panting heavily.

Hormon: "Where will she go?"

Mengdie: "Ha...ha...God knows...at least I can be sure...she will keep looking for Leina. And...it seems...she is no longer afraid of the sun...she can act during the day."

Is it right or wrong to let Coco achieve her goals?Mengdie didn't know.She didn't know whether her actions saved a girl or created a more terrifying demon.But right now, at least she can be sure that she is still alive, that no one will die at this moment, and that the smile on Sasara's face before she completely passed out...

Confirm that the sky is extremely blue and cloudless.

——————————————————————————————

After this fierce battle, fortunately, the Sea Monster did not suffer much damage.After Huo Meng's inspection, it was only a broken mast and the wooden boards on the outside of the ship turned up slightly.Everyone followed the map shown on the map and turned seven times and eight times in the maze, and finally found the hole leading to the upper reaches of the waterfall marked by Xio's teacher.The water flow here is unexpectedly calm, perhaps due to the huge momentum of the waterfall outside. Not only does the water flow here not flow downward, but it has the meaning of flowing upstream.Taking advantage of this natural spectacle, everyone drove the boat up the cave with difficulty, and finally walked out of the cave in the early morning of the third day, seeing the first ray of sunlight in the east.

"Huh! When I go back, I must make this experience into a story and tell it to my little Hormon!"

This sentence was the sentence that Huo Meng kept hanging on his lips after he came out of the cave.

Leaving the Waterfall of No Return, the ship continued upstream along the river.The wind seems to be a little weak these days, so everyone's journey seems to be a little slow.But this is not bad, for everyone who has experienced a big battle, it really needs a period of rest.

Among the crowd, Mengdie was the most seriously injured, but ironically, she also recovered the fastest.In just five or six days, all the wounds on her body have healed, and the broken internal organs have also been reorganized.The blood accumulated in the body is excreted in the form of sweat.Of course, her broken spine and left arm were almost healed on the morning of the fourth day. If Mengdie hadn't insisted on taking turns to stand guard, maybe she could recover faster.

Edward and Huo Meng didn't say anything, they only had some cuts and lacerations on their bodies, and no bones or internal organs were injured.And Sasara's situation is obviously much more serious.Ever since seeing Coco leave, she has been in a coma for a whole month.Even if he recovers after a month, he still won't be able to get out of bed and must be taken care of by Mengdie.

The risk-free journey continues.The higher you go, the wider the water becomes.The sunlight shattered on the water, forming spots of light, and the unknown birds hovering above everyone's heads made crisp and charming calls.There is a primeval forest on both sides of the river. In order to prevent the preservative food on the boat from running out, Edward and Hormon go ashore to hunt when the wind direction is completely wrong.Even if the wind is in the right direction, Hormon will drag a fishing rod and sit on the edge of the bed, leisurely tasting the unique way of self-satisfaction of dwarves.

"(Dwarf language) Yo~! Howl! Praise the goddess! This fish simply broke my fishing record!"

Accompanied by Huo Meng's hearty laughter, he suddenly lifted the U-shaped fishing rod.A big fish about two meters long was immediately pulled up from the water and landed on the deck, flopping constantly.

Huo Meng laughed, immediately threw away the fishing rod, and stepped forward to hold down the big fish with his body.After he punched the big fish hard on the head, the big fish fainted immediately.

"Hey! Miss Mengdie, come and have a look! Should I fish this fish? It would be a pity to eat it, how about making a specimen? Oh, you can't catch it in the dwarf village With such a big fish, I will definitely make the red-haired Vi, the stupid Ike, and the big-handed Kara brothers (these are all recognized fishing masters in the city of Copperhammer) shut their stinky mouths! Hahaha!"

Mengdie sat on a round wooden barrel beside her with a smile and did not answer.Huo Meng smiled again, picked up the big fish and threw it into the large pool specially used to store live fish on the Sea Monster. After clapping his hands, he picked up the fishing rod again, loaded the bait, and came to the side of the boat.

After Edward packed up the deck, he walked to Mengdie with the cable on his shoulder.At this time, the girl in his eyes was looking at the sparkling lake with a blurred look, as if she was thinking about something.After thinking for a while, the prince gently pushed Mengdie.

"Hey, what are you thinking?"

Mengdie turned her head and saw that it was Edward, she shook her head with a smile, stretched out her left hand, and gently stroked the back of the white wolf lying beside her.

"I didn't think about anything. Or... I was thinking about something very absurd."

"Absurd? Oh! This word is often heard by us dwarves, and it is always said from other people's mouths when we have some ideas. But luckily, most of our absurdities have become reality! Haha Haha! Oh! Here we go again! Let’s see how my world-class fishing expert, the shortest talented fisherman in history, conquers a giant fish hundreds of meters in size!"

Huo Meng raised his rod, but this time, what was on the hook was a small fish less than five centimeters in size.The dwarf frowned, hurriedly took the fish off the hook, threw the fish into the water when Mengdie and Edward were not looking, and continued fishing as if nothing had happened.

Mengdie smiled slightly, sat on the barrel, and continued to stare at the water in a daze.Her long black hair hangs down to the ground, bringing a golden luster under the flickering sunlight. Edward, who was watching behind him, was stunned for a moment. He couldn't help it, and suddenly stretched out his hand to touch her hair...

"Edward."

"Ah! What... what is it?!"

Mengdie turned her head and saw Edward standing about two meters behind her with his hands behind his back, his face flushed.She felt a little strange and asked, "What's wrong with you? Standing so far away suddenly?"

"No! Ah... I'm fine! What's the matter with you?"

Mengdie shook her head, stopped looking at him, continued to look at the lake, and said slowly: "Maybe it's a bit late to ask this question after more than a month. But I want to ask, about our battle with that black monster , what do you think we lack the most?"

Regarding this question, Huo Meng turned his head away and looked at Mengdie.

Edward's brain is not good, but for Mengdie's inquiry, even if his brain is broken, he still has to try his best to pretend to be thinking.The prince rested his chin, thought over and over, and said, "What we lack...is strength?"

Mengdie nodded: "Although this is also an extremely important aspect, it's not what I want to talk about."

"Oh, I see! Miss Mengdie, are you trying to say that we lack long-range attack power?" Huo Meng slapped his thigh and said.

"Well... it does have something to do with it. But in general, long-range attack power is also a category of power."

"I think... Sister Mengdie said that we lack the ability to fight in the air..."

A girl's voice came from behind. Mengdie turned her head and saw Sasara leaning against the cabin door with a pale face, holding a cane in both hands.After seeing Mengdie turn around, a faint smile appeared on her face.

"Ah! Sarah, how can you get up casually?"

Mengdie turned back and reached Sasara's side in twos and threes, reaching out to support the girl.She made Sasha sit on the steps leading to the rudder above, and squatted beside her to ask about her health.

"Okay, I found that as long as I travel with you, I basically sleep or faint all the way. I don't want this kind of journey. Come on, tell me, am I right?"

Mengdie pouted, and after thinking for a while, she nodded silently.

"Indeed, what we lack now is the ability to fight in the air. Look at Coco and those monsters, they are already able to fly freely in the air. What's more, Coco and those monsters also have extremely strong long-range attack skills. This not only greatly limits the possibility of us attacking them, but also in terms of combat, we, who cannot go to the sky, are at a disadvantage from the very beginning."

Mentioning cocoa, Sasara's complexion darkened slightly.But when she thought that the girl was still alive, she relaxed again.

Edward sat on the round wooden barrel that Mengdie had just sat on, patted his head, and said: "Then... what should we do? We also want to find a monster like that, and then absorb those guys, grow wings?"
