"Be careful!" At this moment, Brother Teresa among the armed monks was also holding a multi-headed short-handled flail that suddenly started to flash. He shouted on the spot with alarm: "Disperse the formation and guard against attacks from the mist." However, his warning was still a step too late.
It was like the wind blowing through the treetops, or like the rustling of silkworms eating mulberry leaves, echoing below the cliff; many faint and fuzzy transparent shadows suddenly climbed up from the mist; entangled some parts and had no time to react. The armed monks who came over were flickered away again.
In an instant, a sharp whistling sound erupted one after another; the fierce reverberation spread in the space under the cliff, and also shocked some armed monks and hunter teams, as well as the ordinary soldiers assisting in the rear. They held their heads and screamed on the spot, and some people screamed. He collapsed with bleeding from his mouth and nose.
In Jiang Tian's field of vision, it turned into a prompt of "ultra-low frequency/infrasonic attack". In the blink of an eye, these pale mist filled the thighs of most of the heritage knights, turning into streaks of frost and ice flowers that spread upward, slowing down their movements.
Immediately, more than a dozen frozen knights were quickly wrapped around and dragged away by blood branches with the same frost-white appearance. At this time, Rodrigo in the middle suddenly shouted loudly, and a ring of air waves burst out from his body, which repelled and dispersed the frost that had condensed around him.
At the same time, an afterimage was dragged out like a flash of lightning, and suddenly hit one of the thickest blood branches; with a dull continuous sound, the originally tough blood branch was forcibly It broke into two pieces and splashed out a large amount of dark red juice.
Like human blood vessels that had been forcibly torn open, all the branches of the giant blood tree twitched and trembled due to the stimulation, and the knights who were entangled and dragged away were also loosened. Under the shouts and help of their companions, the knights who were dragged to the ground broke away one after another.
However, it was Rodrigo who briefly activated the power of his bloodline and saved his comrades, but he himself also fell into the crisis of being attacked by more branches; in an instant, his figure was submerged, Amid the billows of dust and smoke as multiple branches desperately slapped and whipped.
The situation at the rear was not good either. As the pale mist spread, more and more transparent shadows emerged from it; they began to compete to attack/cling to the ordinary soldiers. The people who were attacked were trembling all over, their faces were pale and their movements were slow.
It was as if he had lost a lot of physical energy, energy and heat all at once, and even the smoke he breathed out became visible to the naked eye. But those transparent shadows became more and more solid. However, just when most people were in chaos, a voice from above was suddenly heard: "Disperse!"
A dim yellow light shone down from the top of the cliff, covering most people's bodies like the setting sun; it also made them feel as warm as the afterglow of a winter evening. But the shadows that kept penetrating and taking away their physical strength screamed on the spot.
One after another, these soldiers and hunter teams scrambled to break away and retreat; however, like puddles of evaporated water under the scorching sun, together with the pale mist on the ground, it boiled and decomposed into traces of smoke. The sizzling sound disappeared completely.
But it was Jiang Tian who came to the edge of the cliff and took action. He directly stimulated the spiritual energy absorbed and stored in the yellow bead condensed by the small pool spirit in another time and space; with the rejection of the high-level spirit, he eliminated most of the negative effects contained in the pale mist.
Even the giant blood tree and its derivatives were no exception. The branches that were hit by the irradiation suddenly seemed to be burned, and the dark red skin was scorched and peeled off, exuding large amounts of scarlet sap; and the roots extending out of the ground were also scorched and withered. Shrinking; those fleshy and bloody corpses exploded one after another.
Although it only happened in an instant, it has already solved the crisis and dilemma for most people, allowing the scattered inheritance knights to reunite and work together to cut off the remaining branches and roots, leaving Rodrigo deeply entangled in them. , drag it out...
However, the mutation reappeared at this time! The pale mist that shrank greatly into the darkness suddenly exploded; it turned into several lines of freezing frost, whirling up to the top of the cliff, freezing in an instant with a clicking sound, surrounding Jiang Tian The stainless steel shield held high by the knight.
However, Jiang Tian, who was surrounded by a group of people, suddenly saw in the reflection of a shield raised at an angle, a figure covered in armor and wearing a bone crown, like a blue and white ice crystal, quietly descending from the sky above his head; He wielded a translucent serrated sword and swung it silently.
"Up above!" As Jiang Tian suddenly shouted, the knights surrounding him raised their weapons without hesitation and attacked upwards, but all of them fell into the air. The blue figure wearing armor and a bone crown disappeared in an instant; he flashed back in the next moment and slashed again.
This time, it was hit hard, and with a clanging sound that made people feel a bit numb; the long-handled sabers and hand-guarded straight swords of several guard knights clashed together; scraping off a bit was like ice crystals of powder. Then, he was struck instantly by a jagged sword that flashed across his body.
I saw that their plate chain armor made of fine steel was frozen and brittle in an instant, and cracked with a gap. Even the blood from the wound under the armor had no time to spurt out, and they were frozen on the spot with pale faces; but the axes of more guard knights The spears and swords had already passed them to repel them and struck again.
But he was also affected by the cold air that spread rapidly on the weapon, and his movements became sluggish. At this time, the faint blue figure disappeared out of thin air and appeared on the other side. As the cold air rolled around, he raised his sword and thrust forward again, obviously targeting Jiang Tian, the primary target, again.
However, the next moment, the front end of the long serrated sword was clamped by two fingers; it could no longer advance any further. Jiang Tian also saw the attacker clearly. It was a translucent ice-blue body that looked like an ancient knight's attire. The helmet under the tooth-like bone crown was actually hollow.
In an instant, the guard knights on the left and right reacted and attacked the blue knight without hesitation; at the same time, they approached and fired hand cannons, rotating guns and other firearms with banging sounds. This time, the blue knight who was caught at the tip of the sword could no longer completely dodge, and the pieces of his body fell apart.
"Dudarhan?" Jiang Tian couldn't help but frown, looking at the half-sword blade that was being shattered and scattered between his fingertips; this was the third headless horseman he had ever seen; it was also completely different from the previous ghost body. type; so it can actually switch between reality and reality and shuttle and flash in short distances?
"Be careful of the fog under your feet and try to dispel it." Then, he noticed more details and key points. The blue knight seemed to be flashing continuously around the frost mist. Following the orders of the knights around him, he poured oil and dropped flaming glue everywhere without hesitation.
With the sudden rise of flames and burning sensation, the mist hovering under the feet suddenly burned and hissed, dispelling the chill that was close at hand. After just a few breaths, the Blue Knight quietly condensed again and appeared in the frosty white mist more than ten meters away.
But this time, it was unable to get close to the defensive circle where Jiang Tian was located; instead, in front of the projected firearms and incendiary objects, it was once again forced out of its entity and was shattered and dissipated on the spot. It reappeared dozens of meters away, and Youlan's figure seemed to have become much darker.
At the same time, Jiang Tian also used the energy in the yellow beads again to dispel the negative effects of freezing on the guard knights around him; in turn, he used the jet of flames to burn and dispel the cold fog, further extending the flash range of the blue knight. compressed to the edge of the cliff...
At this time, the inheritance knights, hunter teams and armed monks below the cliff, who had escaped the influence of the cold fog, gradually recovered through various means; while collecting corpses and treating the wounded, they launched a new attack on the suppressed blood tree. A round of offensive.
At this time, the inheritance knights, hunter teams and armed monks who had escaped the influence of the cold fog at the bottom of the cliff gradually recovered through various means; while collecting corpses and treating the wounded, they reorganized and launched an attack on the suppressed blood tree. A new round of offensive.
With the support of more soldiers who came to join the battle, several relatively light cannons were also pushed to the edge of the cliff, and began to bombard the main branches of the blood tree with specially red-hot balls; Hale rockets with glue and explosive heads were fired into the air one after another at the blood tree.
For a moment, the exploded mummies adhering to the bark of the tree were scattered in all directions, exposing the inner parts that were constantly pulsing like blood vessels; and the special attack knights who had redressed, in pairs, also held up flamethrowers. , taking turns to burn and kill the winding and tumbling branches.
Therefore, the blood tree, its branches, and underground roots that are visible to the naked eye are constantly being splashed with explosive juice and burned and shrunk, and the speed of re-growth and recovery becomes slower than before. Wave after wave of corpses dropped into the blood pool and forcibly resuscitated, becoming more and more slumped and powerless.
The Blue Knight, who appeared again, was also forced to a corner deep under the cliff. Under the fierce firelight that continued to be projected, the outline of a small cave in the darkness deep in the rocks was finally revealed, which was incompatible with the surrounding environment. The frost turned white and still spilled silk weapons.
Then with a low muffled sound, the source of the frost mist that filled the cliff completely disappeared. Then, a simple black pottery bottle with pointed bottom and two ears, and a pale transparent skull soaked in an unknown liquid inside, were also presented to Jiang Tian.
After another half an hour, the huge blood tree also let out a shrill wail. Then, most of the branches, leaves and roots suddenly withered and withered, turning into dry slag that broke into pieces at a touch. However, the mountain wall also trembled, and a huge figure squirmed out.
It was the giant skeleton of a bone-faced monster/mountain monster, and in the gaps between the bones, blood branches that had been significantly reduced were parasitized and filled; it was like a layer of bloody armor was wrapped around the skeleton. . And one after another they uprooted and broke the roots growing in the stone platform.
And this complex of blood tree and giant skeleton, slowly but fiercely waved its regenerated branches; like a final death struggle, it took the initiative to rush towards the Free Army soldiers who were bombarding them from a distance. However, Jiang Tian's attention was attracted by the hole left behind it.
Because, although it has been destroyed by the years and the growth and expansion of the blood tree, judging from the incomplete carvings and pillars exposed in the stone wall cavity, it is clearly an entrance similar to the ruins of an ancient temple; it is like Jiang Tian in another The abnormal exit encountered by time and space...
