However, when Jiang Tian and his party passed through the underground hall guarded by the huge withered monster, there was another cave with a larger space. The layers of bone walls that were originally neatly arranged have turned into undulating hills filled with bones.
Among these piles of bones, the soldiers who had been attacking all the way opened a passage directly; they also laid out large wooden boards and straw bales for footings. And lighting torches, fire cages and lamps were arranged along the way, illuminating most of the dark space;
Many piles of bones that had been piled high over the years had obviously collapsed and toppled over in fierce conflicts and battles. Buried there were some looming strange creatures, as well as many corpses with black armored stomachs. The Free Army launched a counterattack against the enemy.
And these black-armored soldiers who took advantage of the cover of night to launch a counterattack possess extraordinary strength, speed, reaction and endurance, and even their eyesight is basically unaffected in the dark. At the same time, it also has a considerable degree of tolerance and self-healing ability in the face of counterattacks with swords, guns and fire.
As long as the body is not blown to pieces or broken by firearms, or the head is chopped off, the limbs are chopped off, the spine is cut off, etc.; it can still maintain a certain vitality. There were even some seriously injured black-armored soldiers who would unexpectedly break into houses on the street and bite and attack ordinary people.
Therefore, under the continuous onslaught of those aimless aliens and the disturbance of successive distortions in residential areas; these enemy troops who came out in groups also once caused many strongholds and barricades established by the Free Army in the city to be taken advantage of. Tragic losses caused by breaking through or being overwhelmed.
】
However, when the remaining soldiers reunited, echoed and supported each other amidst the sound of drums and trumpets, fought and retreated to the nearest building, and persisted until dawn, it was a completely different situation. The black-armored offensive launched in the dark began to ebb quickly.
A large number of them were killed on the streets; others were pursued by the regrouped Free Army; they fled into buildings where the sunlight was temporarily out of reach, and continued to resist. But this only slightly delayed their fate.
Later, the cover of the building was demolished, and the steel and flames fired by the guns were cleared and wiped out. After examining the corpses of these black-armored enemy soldiers, it was discovered that their armor was not worn on their bodies, but was grown together with the deformed flesh in a sense.
Moreover, under the sunlight that continued to shine into the city after dawn, these corpses showed rapid depletion of blood and flesh, and eventually turned into shriveled and brittle corpses that began to peel off at the touch. The living bodies of the captured black-armored soldiers will also be greatly weakened, and their whole bodies will be exhausted.
Then, they died one after another in a very short period of time; according to the autopsy report of the monks at the military hospital, their internal organs suffered severe distortion and dissolution; it was as if some special method with extremely side effects had triggered the disease in a very short period of time. The potential of all life is general.
Therefore, Jiang Tian was not too surprised to see these black-armored soldiers in the underground space again. But there were other things mixed in the corpses of these black-armored soldiers that caught his attention a little; they were corpse splicing monsters that were several times the size of a normal human being and could be described as messy.
Even on the corpses of some tall black-armored soldiers, broken swords were incompletely sewn together, or things like stubby flesh sprouts, tentacles, and insect-like long beards sprouted abnormally; or parts of them became as soft as large slugs. Lying down, strands of mucus continue to flow and drop;
But most of them were cut to pieces by the advancing troops on the spot; they were also continuously burned by fire, or inactivated by other hunter's medicines such as concentrated acid, or by armed monks' sacred weapons. Waiting for other personnel to transport it out for further subsequent destruction.
As Jiang Tian walked deeper, the corpses of these black-armored soldiers gradually decreased; but the corresponding distortion became more and more obvious; as a result, they completely lost their basic human form; they became crawling with multiple hands and feet. They even adhere to each other and gather together like a matryoshka doll.
In the end, not even the incomplete black armor was left on the corpses, but only skinless bodies with limbs like fleshy worms; some still had mucous membranes and body fluids that had not dried out. Obviously, it is the product that was subsequently generated in this underground space.
Then, it seemed that they were devouring each other in a nearby place under some instinctive tendency. Therefore, the so-called vital parts of the normal human form have no meaning to them; instead, the hunter's poisonous alchemy potion or the heritage knight's heavy weapon are more effective.
In addition, in addition to the stench of blood and decay, there is also the smell of ionizing radiation and burning in the air. This is due to the sacred vessels and rare objects carried by the armed monks of the pious company. The result of purification. Of course, according to Jiang Tian’s guess;
The difference between the so-called rare objects and sacred objects. That is, a strange object is more like a dissipator of some kind of energy, and a certain price must be paid to activate it; even if it exceeds a certain limit, it will become exhausted or even damaged. The sacred vessel is more like a carrier and container formed by accident.
Therefore, if you are placed in a religious place for a long time and receive the infiltration of continuous prayer and faith, you can slowly recharge; and then release it with highly focused thoughts when needed. The so-called piety and faith power, rather than Some kind of spiritual belief and inducement.
Therefore, the former often has very intuitive effects, but requires certain adaptability for users, and may even cause damage that is difficult to repair after long-term use. However, the power of the holy weapon is much inferior, but its number and applicability are more common, and its effect is more auxiliary.
And when the users of these rare objects and sacred weapons reach a certain scale, they can even suppress and confront them with sufficient force through a certain degree of cooperation, using the blood power of a small group of inherited knights. This also creates relative checks and balances and potential competition among the three pillars.
And when these three special forces are combined to fight together, it is not as simple as 1+1+1=3; it is enough to explode several times to ten times the combat power and effectiveness bonus. Therefore, Jiang Tian walked through several caves along the way, and they had all been cleaned up.
There were only some faint sounds of sporadic fighting echoing in some corner places, or in the branching corridors. It wasn't until he reached a cliff where a large drop suddenly appeared that he heard the fierce roar of firearms and the roar of running and shouting again.
And among the large collapsed rocks at the bottom of the cliff and the incomplete and rough large ancient statues on the four walls, a dark red tree dozens of meters high and as thick as two people's arms squirmed. This big tree took root under the stone wall, and there was a large pool of thick blood surging in the incomplete stone platform.
The surface of the tree trunk is covered with densely packed mummies, which are pulsing like continuous breathing, shaking and squirming as if they were alive, making people's scalp numb just by looking at them. It was waving its scarlet branches slowly and heavily, beating the figures around.
There were hundreds of heavily armored heritage knights headed by Rodrigo; they were constantly bombarding the trunk of the flesh and blood tree with various hand cannons, grenades, and large muskets; and they were waving big swords, axes, and guns. The moon blade knife continued to cut off those thick branches with splashes of juice.
The more agile hunter teams are covering and cooperating with these knights, and from time to time they throw out various bottles of alchemy potions; smoke and fire rise up; roots pop up from time to time on the ground. The beard quickly withered and scorched and retreated.
Dozens of armed monks were chanting prayers in unison from behind, using colorful halos and rays of light to try to suppress the extension and spread of the branches and roots of blood branches; occasionally they also released a bubble of light to respond. The injured frontline members were quickly replaced.
And more ordinary soldiers continued to transport more instruments, medicines and firearms and equipment from the corridors that gathered here; this kind of heated battle scene made Jiang Tian feel a little out of this world, just like watching It was the prototype of large-scale dungeons in later online games.
It's just that this giant crimson tree is too huge. Whether it's continuous bombardment by guns or incendiary bombs/explosives, it can only splash and peel off large pieces of debris and corpses as the outer skin; Cut off some branches and destroy some roots;
But in Jiang Tian's vision panel at this moment, a long-lost logo and prompt popped up: "Discovered, abnormal energy pollution source/time and space mutation point; flesh and blood... (Yes/No) consumption of quantum for analysis?"
Jiang Tian's observation also seemed to trigger some invisible boundary. The next moment, he heard some kind of extremely intense low-frequency hissing sound, and the dark red tree trunk, which seemed to be covered with mummies like wriggling fish scales, suddenly peeled off and fell down like raindrops.
When these mummies fell into the blood of the broken stone platform of the tree roots, they unexpectedly stood up again staggeringly; only dark red granulations sprouted one after another in all the orifices of the body; Amidst the roaring sound, the whole body became full and full as if inflated.
The sluggish and sluggish movements became visible to the naked eye; almost immediately they collided with each other, and the heritage knights and the hunter team, who had shrunk in formation, fought together in a melee. The roots and scarred branches that had shrunk significantly under the previous attack also expanded again.
In the blink of an eye, the dozen heavily armored knights who bore the brunt of the attack were swept away one after another; they crashed into the rocks and the mountain wall with a dull resounding sound. Even Roderigo, who was able to dodge quickly, was unexpectedly knocked away by his sword and was entangled by roots emerging from the ground.
The lightly-armed hunter team was penetrated by flying branches, and dozens of people were penetrated on the spot; although other companions and nearby knights quickly cut off and pulled out the foreign objects; but they were penetrated. The wound was dry and white, and symptoms of massive blood loss appeared.
Although he received follow-up treatment quickly and took special medicine for external application or internal use, the remaining small foreign matter mixed in the wound was expelled from the body. But some people's hair already had wisps of grayish white; it was obvious that their potential vitality had been damaged.
At this moment, in the ravines and rocks below the cliff, a cold and biting smoke filled the air. Along with the cracks in the ground and stone crevices, there was a silent white frost, like a line. Like a frozen white vine, it spread to the feet of the armed monks.
