The thunder rolled, shaking the boundary between the sky and the earth.
The pouring rain covered most of the eastern plate. The raindrops were dense and rapid, intertwining into a huge and endless curtain, completely blurring the boundaries between darkness and light.
Boom.
At this time of wind and rain, lightning and thunder.
In the Baiduan Mountains, a thick bolt of lightning suddenly cut through the sky like the wrath of the gods, and happened to hit the city beast as tall as a mountain.
The body of the city beast is huge and bulky, and its skin is covered with thick black moss, making it look ancient and vicissitudes of life.
However, under the bombardment of this lightning, the black moss instantly faded a lot, as if it had been deprived of life by some mysterious force.
The huge body of the city beast trembled slightly, and its pace that was originally crawling forward slowly stopped.
It seemed to feel some unknown threat, or it fell into a brief confusion after being struck by the lightning.
At this moment, thousands of meters high in the sky, a pair of green eyes suddenly opened on the city beast's body.
Those eyes were like two cold stars in the abyss, exuding a strange and profound aura, making the already tense atmosphere even more solemn.
"Light"
A roar of unknown meaning sounded in the sky, thick and deep. For a moment, even the roaring thunder was suppressed by this sound, as if the whole world was affected by it. Trembling.
Light is the nemesis of the shadow beast clan.
Before reaching adulthood, young shadow beasts will die directly if they are exposed to light for more than half an hour.
As adults, they still cannot be exposed to light for long periods of time.
Only the shadow beasts who ignite the divine fire can avoid the damage caused by light and maintain their bodies to move in the light.
In addition, some special creatures can also be protected from light damage before igniting the divine fire.
But obviously, the city beast is not among this group.
Thunder and lightning containing unparalleled energy fell, and with just one stroke, half of the shadow beasts in the city beast were eliminated.
Without this half, it is visible to the naked eye that the state of the city beast begins to become unstable.
It began to stop, began to hesitate, and began to think about why it was here.
Even though the possessed Shadow Beast Tribe has tried its best to suppress it, it still cannot resist the thought.
“Damn it, didn’t you say you shouldn’t rush in this weather? Why continue to move forward at the risk?”
In the encampment team following the city beast, there were three long and weird ones. The aliens came out.
There is a willow tree more than three meters high, with gently swaying branches and whirling green leaves. The tree roots under its feet are as flexible as living things, like countless tiny legs, pushing its huge trunk forward slowly.
There are The vulture has wings but walks on its legs on the ground. Its sharp eyes scan the surroundings at all times, revealing a majesty that cannot be underestimated.
There is also a seemingly ordinary boulder. The surface of the boulder is mottled and covered with traces of time. But what is surprising is that it actually has hands and uses them to support itself on the ground.
After quickly approaching the city beast, the willow tree took the lead in placing its roots on the surface of the city beast.
A touch of light green energy began to surge forward, covering the body of the city beast, but in just an instant, all the energy was absorbed by the city beast.
And in less than three seconds, the lush green leaves on the willow branches quickly withered.
When he reacted and pulled away the branch, there was no trace of green left on the branch, and the main trunk also exuded a rotten yellow color.
"It's terrible, this is terrible!"
I don't know whether it was drained of its vitality, or whether it was frightened by the current state of the city beast.
The willow tree took a few steps back and fell to the ground. The branches and leaves kept shaking and making rustling sounds.
"The damage this time is much more serious than last time. It requires at least three thousand units of energy to repair!"
"What, three thousand units, how is this possible!"
" It’s over. If this is reported to the clan, I’m afraid the three of us will be drained first!”
The vulture and Big Stone also contacted their limbs with the city beast one after another.
Compared to Willow, their strength should be slightly weaker.
After only being slapped for about two seconds, the vulture took four or five steps back and fell heavily to the ground.
I saw that his golden feathers began to fall off when the rain washed away, and in the blink of an eye he became a plucked chicken.
The big stone was even worse. After being drained by the shadow beast clan inside the city beast, the stone skin on the surface began to peel off.
In just a few clicks, the entire body size shrank several times.
“The last time I was hit by such a thick lightning, it only required 1,300 units of energy. How come it became 3,000 units this time? This is unreasonable.”
"The patriarch is probably going to kill us now. If we hadn't been greedy for the benefits promised by the royal family, we wouldn't have allowed the city beasts to rush in such bad weather."
"What are you talking about now? We have to hurry up. Think about how to explain this!"
As the three of them talked, Da Shi couldn't help crying.
There are clear regulations within the Shadow Beast Clan regarding the use of city beasts.
These are all tested by the shadow beast tribe with their lives over a long period of time, which is of great significance.
In bad weather like now, once there are signs of it, the city beast must stop and enter a dormant state.
In this way, even if it is struck by lightning, it can minimize the damage to the shadow beast clan possessed inside.
However, in order to speed up the march of the city beasts and recruit more soldiers to rush to the front line, the royal family secretly promised a large number of special rewards to those in charge.
The last time the city beast was asked to travel in bad weather, the clan leader was so angry that he ordered all five people in charge of the march to be drained.
Now the city beast needs more energy. If there is no way to solve it, all three of them may die.
But he was wronged. The supplies promised by the royal family had not been received yet, so why did he get involved in this matter.
"Report it to the clan. All three of us will die. At this time, it's better to take a gamble." Willow twitched his torso and whispered: "Now the energy in the city beast's body has accumulated too much. , Our tribe can't suppress it. As long as we can find a way to consume the energy of the city beast, we can neutralize this gap."
"That's three thousand units of energy." The vulture looked at the willow tree hesitantly.
As long as we can avoid thunder for the time being and find an excuse after a while, we might be able to get away with it.
After all, the Shadow Beast Clan is only familiar with the research on this ancient creature, but it is far from a complete understanding.
Including the method of driving the city beast, until now, it is still not fully understood.
"We have to negotiate with the royal family. The damage this time was their idea. There is no reason for us to be responsible for it."
"Three thousand units." Willow said solemnly: "I want to To consume so much energy, it only takes 120,000 foreigners to garrison inside the city beast. This is not difficult for the royal family, and it is also part of the recruitment process."
"That's right, Bai. There are so many foreign tribes in the Broken Mountains, it will not be difficult to recruit 120,000 foreign tribes."
With hope of survival, Dashikuo also became energetic.
Fortunately, the city beast suffered a heavy blow in the Baiduan Mountains. Even if it was temporarily unable to move, it would not affect the recruitment of troops.
If it were moved outside the mountains or other places, it would really be a disaster for the sky and the earth.
"Let's go and report to the royal family. It just so happens that the foreign tribes in the Baiduan Mountains are not cooperating, so the tribe will not doubt the status of the city beast in a short time."
Liu Shu is the captain, After deciding on the plan, the other two people had no objections.
The three of them hurried to the camp despite the wind and rain. Within half an hour, the vulture took off and flew away.
"How sure are you that you want to start with the city beast?" Connie pondered for a moment and suddenly asked after hearing that Somo had set his sights on the city beast.
Weighing the risks and benefits, if you can capture the city beast, even taking huge risks will be worth it.
To put it aside, the city beast itself is a special tool that is no less than a demigod.
Not to mention those special effects, if you can control the city beast to roll on the surface, you may be able to crush thousands of aliens in an instant.
"I can't describe the specific situation exactly, but one thing is for sure. If we can obtain the spells for controlling and using city beasts from the shadow beast tribe, the success rate of the operation should be greatly improved."
"Spells "
Connie repeated thoughtfully, as if chewing on the deep meaning behind this word.
“The spells are not difficult to obtain, but the problem is that these spells that can open the inner space of the city beast will only be granted to those aliens who have successfully entered the city beast. And these spells can only be used inside the city beast. It is said among the alien races that once it is leaked to outside alien races, the person who leaks it will immediately be punished with irresistible death. Therefore, it is difficult for us to find out these spells, but it is not impossible."
"First, you have to enter the city beast again, but I think it will be difficult for you to continuously capture aliens for interrogation and learn these spells from their mouths without attracting the attention of the shadow beast clan."
"Second, I sent people into the city beasts and asked them to find ways to collect these spells. Let them lurk inside and find ways to collect these spells. After a while, you can find a way to do it again. Enter the city beasts and find them, and you will know directly. These spells."
"Are you sure the person sent in is reliable?" Sumo looked up at her.
Having already experienced entering and exiting the city beast, Somo had no fear at all about entering again.
But the problem is that the transmission interval can only last one day at most.
If you can't solve this matter within one day and continue to stay, you will have to stay here for the next month.
This price is definitely unacceptable and will directly result in the loss of tens of thousands of special survival points.
"It should be possible. As long as you mention the name of the gods, many impossible things can be easily achieved. If you are worried, I can go in. Anyway, as long as you can take down the city beast, let me out. It shouldn’t be difficult.”
Connie smiled, seeming to prove her determination.
"No, you have to help me collect information from the aliens. You can't waste time inside the city beast."
Suma shook his head, "I will go to the city beast to explore again tomorrow morning. Once, let’s make a decision when the time comes.”
It was getting late, and it was still raining heavily outside, so he didn't think of taking advantage of the darkness to cover his way.
For a city beast that is thousands of meters high and has a diameter of more than 500 meters, even if the aliens arrange several protection teams around it, they still cannot achieve full-scale monitoring.
As long as you master the entrance and exit spells, you can enter the city beast at any time.
"Okay, you can rest. I will first go communicate with the alien team near the city beast and inquire about their recruitment conditions."
Connie nodded, got up and left the cabin. .
Sumo lay down for a while, feeling sleepy, and finally sat up and leaned against the bed.
It can be seen that Connie has indeed carefully prepared to welcome his arrival. Even the furnishings and arrangements in the room are exactly the same as those in his room in the underground shelter.
Familiar with the rough wooden bedside, Somo turned around and gently stroked his fingers on the burrs of the wood.
Connie, you should be able to believe it.
Not only because she is the high priest of Oreo, she is bound by the power system.
What's more, the path the aliens are taking now and the goals they want to achieve have seriously deviated from her goals.
She no longer lives for the gods, and naturally she doesn’t care about winning the boat ticket as a reward for the gambling battle.
After confirming this, Sumo took the memory crystals left by Connie and lined them up in front of him.
There are twenty-four in total.
It contains various precious information collected by Connie during this period.
Compared with human recording methods, alien races attach greater importance to inheritance. A large amount of practice information is often passed down from generation to generation through this kind of memory crystal.
Just stick it on your forehead and you can quickly get the information recorded inside.
Of course, this method is not without its disadvantages. Once too much information is received in a short period of time, it is easy to lose memory.
Sumo first picked up the smallest one and put it on his forehead to check.
Buzz.
The crystal rippled, the surrounding environment darkened slightly, and a picture of about one hundred and fifty inches appeared in front of his eyes.
It looks like it should be Connie’s first perspective, and the screen records a stepped parliament hall.
Suma's eyes subconsciously focused on the center of the council chamber, and unexpectedly he saw an altar table that was only used by humans.
On the offering table, there are not only curls of incense and smoke, melons and fruits on plates as offerings, but also a fuzzy portrait with a face shrouded in blue light in the center.
I saw hundreds of aliens in the parliament hall, as if they were doing some performance art, imitating humans and worshiping in the center of the parliament hall.
Once, twice, three times!
A black energy swept across and rushed towards the people at the altar. The statue exploded into powder.
“What are you doing here? Isn’t it a sacrifice?”
Suma was stunned.
But soon, his expression brightened, especially when he saw the cyan statue reappearing on the altar table.
At this time, the green light covering the statue's face had faded, revealing a familiar face underneath.
“Holy shit, these aliens are worshiping me?”
I have to say that the impact of this scene is indeed very strong.
Hundreds of ferocious-looking aliens worshiped a human statue devoutly, much like the incantation in Chinese mythology.
Although he didn’t know why the statue was restored after being blown up by worshipers, Sumo could probably guess that this was due to the system blocking.
"Fortunately, I didn't save any survival points after the shield was blown up. This is so useful!"
Not only can it prevent game detection, but it can also isolate a series of causal attacks and mental attacks.
This thought flashed through his mind. As the scene changed again, Somo's eyes couldn't help but change slightly.
Another new way of worship.
This time it was no longer a statue, but a straw man who looked very similar to him.
Representatives from the foreign tribes piously lifted up the straw man and penetrated it into different parts with seven-foot-long black nails.
A total of seven times, but by the last time, the result was still the same as the worship method.
The straw man exploded and disappeared along with the black nails, and then reappeared after taking several breaths.
"It's really a curse. Aliens can also engage in curved combat?"
Looking at the aliens who were chirping and preparing to celebrate a second ago, they fell into silence as if someone had strangled their throats. .
Sumo snorted and couldn't help laughing.
Can you curse him in this way? After Wei decided to play the last game, the aliens really had no cards in their hands to play!
