Chapter 499: Rioting field troops, smell of decay
The rain of blood swept across the entire world for two full hours.
When the scarlet raindrops gradually became smaller, Richard looked around and saw that the entire desert was covered in dazzling red.
It seems to have become a sea of blood in the abyss of purgatory.
This world has been eroded.
The changes in the two thousand dark tree-men outside the city are the most eye-catching. Countless threads of blood are flowing in the cracks in the bark of the trees. Their originally evil and dark appearance now has an added layer of the aura of the ancient gods.
The aura of the ancient god cannot be accurately described in words, it is like an initial, ancient, mottled, vicissitudes and faded feeling.
Even if you only see it once, you will remember it for a lifetime and cannot forget it.
The seeds sown by these evil ancient trees all gained an additional skill after a blood rain - Blood of the Ancient God, level B. Activate the blood of the ancient god and increase the whole body's strength by 50% for 10 minutes.
This skill is considered a superior skill even for the fierce Dark Tree Man.
What's more important is that this is obtained through free prostitution, and the pure pie in the world will fall.
No resources are consumed.
The consequences are still unclear.
However, what struck Richard the most was that their level had been raised from the original level 14 to level 16 in just two hours.
The barrier between level 15, a high-level military unit, and the top-level military units has been crossed. The strength has skyrocketed.
It seems that these beings have a natural ability to absorb energy such as rain.
The sower of these arms is the real terror. The ancient tree of evil, this level 17 boss, rose to level 18 during this encounter.
The skill he acquired - Body of the Ancient God, has soared from the initial E level to A level - and the damage received from god-given spells is reduced by 75%.
God-given spells. Spells given by gods or related to sects.
This is a great weapon against the enemies of the sect.
An existence of the level of the Ancient Divine Tree could still achieve such a huge improvement in such a short period of time.
Richard could not imagine how big a ripple this bloody rain covering the entire world would cause.
The ancient gods of the past, the former controllers of the rules of this world, declared their power to the world in a shocking way.
On the first move, Windsor won.
Next, it’s up to the gods to fight back and kill their frightened enemies.
This will be an unprecedented turmoil.
"Master. The rain has stopped."
Gray's solemn voice came from beside him.
Richard took a deep breath and turned to look at the mummy hero.
Decisively ordered.
"Send the army out immediately to investigate. I need to know all the changes around me!"
"Follow your orders!"
Gray didn't hesitate at all and took action immediately. After a while, more than ten small groups of stone statues of the dead in the city flew out of the city and spread around.
Flying away from the Twilight City, you can immediately feel the energy floating in the air.
Especially the crimson color of the ground attracts it all the time.
But Gray was not moved at all. He knew very well the common truth that everything comes at a price.
It's true that it can improve strength in a short period of time. But, what's the price?
The blood moon in the sky can give the world power, and it can also take it back.
When the other party wants to take back this power, who can resist? At least, it doesn't.
Not long after Gray left, the pale-haired Karu came with hasty steps.
Before the old man could stand still, he gasped.
"Lord Richard, urgent report from the underground world!"
Richard became a little more energetic.
Underworld?
Asked in a condensed voice.
"What happened?"
Karu said urgently.
"News has just come from the underground world, and a bloody moon has also risen in the underground world, and a blood rain has swept across them!"
"The only difference is that the blood rain in the underground world only fell for half an hour."
"However, those lives that have been soaked in blood have been greatly strengthened, and those beasts in the wilderness have been greatly stimulated and are entering into riots."
"Some powerful monsters have launched attacks on tribes and gathering places in the underground world."
"Bloodhoof City and Furnace City have not been spared. They have entered the highest defensive alert."
Richard raised his eyebrows.
He did not expect that the Twilight City would not receive the first wave of impact after the crimson moon rose, but the underground world would change.
Karu hadn't finished speaking yet and continued after taking a few breaths.
"Moreover, Bloodhoof City also detected that special spatial fluctuations occurred hundreds of miles away from them."
"It is suspected that a plane will merge with the underground world."
"The aura of that plane is very much like that of Naga, the superior race of the dungeon tribe."
"Naga are natural warriors and spellcasters among the dungeon tribe. With eight arms, they are nearly invincible on the battlefield. Once that plane is really the Naga plane, the underground world will inevitably face huge challenges. Impact.”
"Every Naga group has at least one extraordinary leader. This race that yearns to conquer and dominate is full of aggression."
Richard suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.
Are there traces of other planes in the underground world? ! And it’s still a Naga with a named name in “Glory Era”? !
Although the previous news surprised him, with the strength of the Underground World and Twilight City, it would not have any major consequences.
But when a different dimensional plane is integrated, it's different.
This can even directly change the ecological pattern of the underground world.
An underground world that he failed to deal with well and that he spent a lot of energy to occupy will become a new battlefield.
This is something he absolutely cannot tolerate.
He needs a rear area that can produce stably. The underground world occupies an irreplaceable position in Twilight City's current system.
No matter what happens, nothing can go wrong.
He forced himself to calm down and ordered calmly.
"Send the order, let Lorena lead the vampire army to go to the underground world immediately to suppress it, and use the fastest speed to calm the storm. I don't want to see any turbulence happen!"
"Let Lorena find out what's going on in that space."
"I need to know more detailed information!"
Lorena is because the vampire castle is merging with an unknown evil plane, and the breath it emits can purify the blood of the vampire family.
So he never called the other party back to garrison.
But he was not unprepared. The Void Sandworm's passage had been connected to the castle since yesterday, and the vampire army was also on standby at all times.
As long as the order is given, these natural flying troops can return to the Twilight City within minutes.
Kalu's face was solemn.
"As you wish!"
Richard saw him planning to come down and waved to stop him.
"Don't give up on the vampire castle. Leave a squadron of vampires to garrison it. If you encounter a strong enemy, let them leave directly without confronting them. That castle is so close to the Ice and Snow Empire, we will need it in the future."
"Yes!"
After making sure that he had nothing more to say, Kalu left in a hurry.
Richard watched the other party's back disappear and looked forward again.
Under the shroud of the crimson moon, he looked at the yellow sand land at night.
The dark tree man in front of the city wall was still in a unique state of excitement, constantly stretching out its dry branches.
The dry desert in the past was now covered with large bloody lumps due to the rain of blood. It looked like a place of death formed after countless lives were slaughtered.
Bloody and horrific.
Richard was deep in thought at this moment.
My mind is full of ideas about the new expansion pack, Crimson Moon, how the alien planes with the remaining power of the ancient gods will be integrated into the main plane, how the City of Twilight will develop in the future, and so on.
But it didn't take long for the scene to calm down.
Boom~ A thunder interrupted his thoughts.
After being awakened, Richard subconsciously looked up.
At the end of his sight, dazzling lightning burst out one after another.
Then there was the deafening sound of rolling thunder.
At this moment, it was like the heaven and earth were split open.
Ordinary people's eardrums would be shattered.
On the city wall, thousands of troops guarding the city all looked up at this moment.
Countless lightnings were erupting in the sky.
Wave after wave of light tore apart the red sand covering various objects, restoring them to their original appearance.
The scene looked like someone was bearing the wrath of Thor.
Thunder connects in line.
The twisted thunder and lightning danced like a silver dragon.
The concussive rolling thunder was enough to make the veteran's heart tremble.
This scene, full of mysterious power, lasted for a full ten minutes until the lightning gradually disappeared and the heavy weight on the army's chest eased.
When the blood glow in the sky was no longer dispersed by the light, the world became dark again.
But everyone felt different.
Where the lightning broke out, there was an inexplicable aura coming from the place.
It makes them feel as if their souls have been put into some sticky and disgusting substance, making them feel uncomfortable all over.
Even from dozens of kilometers away, it is clearly visible.
After the rain stopped, the human reserve army of Twilight City immediately evacuated the last residents to the Eternal Land.
The Lord of Dune is now following the crowd.
Because we needed to confirm that no more blood rain would fall, we were delayed for some time.
The moment he stepped out of the city gate, the lightning disappeared.
He shrugged the tip of his nose, took a few quick breaths, and his expression became extremely solemn.
He had seen that feeling before.
The chubby little guy who was holding him tightly was striding forward, a little scared but extremely brave.
At this time, the little guy frowned and covered his nose with one hand, then turned his head and looked at the Lord of the Dunes in confusion.
"Grandpa, what does this smell like? Why does it smell like rotten sewer rats?"
rot!
The Lord of Dune followed the little guy's words and instantly captured the key words.
Yes, he had sensed this aura from the evil tree man in Twilight City.
Rotten, dilapidated, and filled with a nauseating stench.
That is the power of authority.
The Lord of Dune took a deep breath, turned his head subconsciously, and looked at the city wall shrouded in crimson light.
At this moment, the mummy army was waiting on the city wall, the alchemical artillery with exaggerated caliber, and the towering arrow tower at the rear were all reflecting scarlet.
At first glance, it gives people a strong visual impact.
But he didn't pay attention to these troops, but took a deep look in a certain direction.
There is the west side of Twilight City ←, the area where this city dominates.
The Lord of Dune wanted to say something, but suddenly swallowed it.
Now he is no longer the Lord of the Dunes.
After taking a long breath, he looked back, squeezed the hand of the little guy next to him, and quickened his pace a little.
The little guy seemed to sense the mood of the Lord of Dune, and shouted in confusion.
"Grandpa. What's wrong?"
The Lord of the Dunes looked down at the muddy, wet, bloody yellow sand, with emotions that were difficult for outsiders to understand flashing through his turbid eyes.
"The enemies of Twilight City are coming."
Danger was coming, but he could do nothing but stay with women and children, protected by others.
This is another kind of torture for the overlord who once ruled one side.
The five fingers clenched subconsciously.
What Richard said to him came to mind again. Are you still longing for power?
On the city wall.
Richard's eyes were fixed on the area shrouded in thunder.
He was familiar with that rotten smell better than anyone else.
Bottomless Abyss, the 333rd layer master. Lord of decay.
The Lord of the Abyss with supreme power.
The authority held by the ancient divine tree was obtained from this master.
Enemy, tracking is coming.
As for coincidence?
No, there are not so many coincidences in this world!
What puts him most under pressure is whether the God of Conspiracy is involved? Rose, the Spider Queen, is not a kind person.
The Spider Queen suffered a big loss in the copy of the God's Cemetery.
Facing the prying eyes of two abyss masters at the same time. Outsiders cannot know that kind of pressure.
"The entire army is on alert!"
The cold voice resounded throughout the city, and the army, which had always maintained the highest vigilance, immediately clenched the weapons in their hands, ready to launch a fatal attack as soon as the enemy appeared.
Richard stared intently at the area that exuded an endless aura of decay.
There was no movement for a long time.
It was not until twenty minutes later that a group of stone statues of the dead returned from a distance that the stiff atmosphere relaxed slightly.
Gunter, the mummified hero wrapped in bloody bandages, immediately reported back after stepping onto the city wall.
"Master, the area with abnormal movement has been explored, and no enemy was found."
"But the surrounding space is very thin, and the existence of the alien plane can be clearly sensed"
"It is expected that within a week, that plane will merge with the Death Desert and create a relatively stable space passage."
"And before the fusion is completed, we cannot rule out whether an army will descend on the Death Desert like the El plane."
A week?
When Richard heard this number, his tense heart relaxed a little.
Fortunately, there was no scene of the Lord of Decay’s army attacking like a tide
After calming down, he ordered in a deep voice.
"Send someone to tell Lorena that the turmoil in the underground world will be calmed down within three days, no, within two days."
"After two days, as long as Furnace City and Bloodhoof City are no longer threatened, return to Twilight City immediately!"
"In addition, let the Void Sandworm continue to try to connect to the space where Sheena and Foy are. The Twilight City needs them."
"We are about to face an unprecedented bloody battle. The abyss has appeared." (End of Chapter)
