Chapter 556
“Hurry, hurry!”
“We have to complete the setup within three minutes!”
Groups of soldiers wearing standard combat suits, wearing World Tree badges on their chests, and carrying mid-level space backpacks jumped down from several hover transport carriages and quickly traveled through the wilderness.
The rugged ground, the dense bushes, and the flourishing woods did not pose any hindrance to them. Like apes, they flew through the tree trunks and soon arrived at their destination.
Under the command of the team leaders, the Hunters of the garrison corps opened their space backpacks and took out all kinds of items to set up defense facilities.
Not far away,
More than a dozen high-level awakened earth ability users joined hands and raised their staffs. Yellow yellow light blossomed from the tip of the staff. In a split second, the ground trembled violently. In a radius of hundreds of meters in front of them, trees twenty to thirty meters tall fell down. At this moment, the earth seemed to have turned into quicksand, swallowing everything.
High-level earth magic
This time, it was not used to kill enemies.
The quicksand lasted for more than ten seconds and gradually expanded. Within a range of more than a thousand meters, the trees were cleared and visible to the naked eye. The central part of the ground caved in, but the periphery gradually bulged.
After several seconds,
The quicksand had solidified into hard earth stones. What appeared in front of them was a small basin. The stone walls around the basin were hard and smooth.
The “Quicksand Region” was a large-scale killing and trapping spell. It came from the Holy City. After the transformation, the garrison corps preferred to use it on changing the terrain, especially when setting up the defense line.
In a sense, it could also be divided into architectural spells.
After the basin terrain was formed, the members of the garrison corps quickly stepped forward and inserted pillars into the earth stone. They formed a semi-circle and wrapped the basin.
The pillars emitted sizzling sounds. Soon, the bluish-purple thunder shield spread along the pillars and connected. Only on the opposite side of the basin was there a gap in the direction of the floating city.
Behind them were temporary city walls, portable war weapons, and so on. In the hands of the members of the garrison corps, they nimbly changed forms and quickly arranged them on the defense line.
Origin Crystal Cannon, rune firearms, and other weapons. The black hole of the firing point was pointed at the center of the basin.
From the time they received the mission,
They took the hover car and set up a defense line… It was fast and orderly. It only took two and a half minutes to complete the setup of a defense line.
The commander smiled and injected his spiritual energy into the communication crystal ball to report the situation.
A few hundred meters away from the defensive line was a two-way four-lane road. After Tree Shade’s defensive circle was completed, most of the roads were repaired and reused. There were many Hunters and caravans coming and going every day.
On the side of the road, there was coincidentally a transfer station.
It was close to noon, and there were not many people coming and going. However, there were still many survivors in the transfer station.
The transfer station in the hinterland had not built a city wall. Many sharp-eyed survivors found the defense line that was quickly set up in the distance and exclaimed.
There were also members of the garrison corps in the transfer station, but they had not received a message and were also confused. They just followed the instructions in the corps manual and hurriedly maintained order, organizing the survivors to evacuate in the opposite direction – after all, this transfer station was not a fortress.
One second,
Five seconds,
Ten seconds passed.
There was no movement in the distance. They could only vaguely see the figures of the corps ‘Hunters standing tall and straight.
Suddenly,
“Look at the sky, there is red mist!”
A Hunter cried out in alarm.
Red Mist! They were too familiar with it! Anyone would be familiar with it!
“Isn’t the red mist only appearing near the abyss crack? Wait…”
“Could it be that our Tree Shade City predicted the appearance of the abyss crack? However, we have never heard of anyone who could predict it beforehand”
Before his voice even fell,
The red fog floating in the sky suddenly became much thicker, as if it were forabout to condense into drops of blood.
Rumble!
The earth suddenly split open, and dark red lines spread out.
“Roar -“
Magical beasts rushed out of the crack, and as soon as they appeared, they were smashed into pieces by the runic bullets.
The members of the garrison corps were excited!
The city lord really predicted the abyss crack, and even the range was extremely accurate. The basin created by the earth ability users just happened to cover the abyss crack.
With the advantage of terrain and defense, hundreds of awakened members of the Defense Division firmly blocked the attack of the demonic beasts.
At this time,
A gigantic, pseudo-Transcendent class demonic beast with wings on its back flapped its wings and flew out.
Its scarlet eyes stared at the defense line below and spat out black flames. The outermost shield of lightning emitted sizzling sounds under the impact of the black flames.
The commander’s expression did not change. He only said indifferently, “Begin the luring plan.”
On the other side,
Near the floating island.
A few beehive-shaped runic tools flew into the sky. Invisible waves spread far and wide.
This was a special kind of “wave”, imitating the high purity human aura, which had a fatal attraction to demonic beasts.
A few months ago, not long after the outbreak of the apocalypse, Dr. Zheng had developed an item that could lure demonic beasts. With Tree Shade’s current scientific research ability, it was very simple to create similar items, and the effect was even greater.
The invisible fluctuations were transmitted very quickly. The pseudo-Extraordinary demonic beast with wings on its back had just treated the members of the garrison corps on the ground as food. In the next moment, as if it had smelled the most delicious food, it turned around and flew into the distance.
At the same time, there were also many demonic beasts that came out of the abyss crack.
Some of them were killed by the Hunters on the rear defense line to prevent the demonic beasts from spreading. Some of the flying demonic beasts were deliberately released and flew toward the floating island.
…
On the floating island.
Tang Yu had his eyes closed, but in reality, he had already taken a God’s perspective and was controlling everything.
The abyssal crack that appeared was of a very high grade and was nearly four hundred meters long. In just a few minutes, five Calamity Grade magic beasts had appeared.
This was a good thing. The stronger the magic beasts were, the more they would be able to test if there were any loopholes in the [Space Belt].
Several kilometers away from the abyss crack, it was already under martial law.
In addition to a five-hundred man group stationed near the abyss crack, there were also many members of the garrison corps scattered everywhere to clean up the spread magic beasts.
He observed the territory map at all times to prevent the demonic beasts from spreading – he could not ruin Tree Shade’s reputation of being the safest in the defense circle for an experiment.
Flying demonic beasts approached the floating island. There was no need to rely on props to attract them. In Tree Shade City, two to three million residents gathered together. The smell of humans soared into the sky, and the demonic beasts pounced on them with red eyes.
As far as the eye could see, it covered the sky.
He suppressed the thought of letting the defense buildings open fire and allowed the flying demonic beasts to approach. Soon, the demonic beasts seemed to have fallen into a quagmire. Although they were dissatisfied, they seemed to be unable to approach the island no matter how they flapped their wings.
This scene also attracted many survivors to watch.
In the safest floating island, no one was worried even if this scene was like a natural disaster. However, some merchants dragged their carts to the edge of the island to sell melon seeds and drinks.
Demonic beasts were still gushing out of the abyss crack.
Suddenly,
The red mist in the sky contracted, and a large amount of the Mana Tide that gushed out was interrupted. A few seconds later, as the red mist gushed out again, a few ugly and strange figures appeared above the crack.
Without wings, he stood quietly in the air.
His transcendent aura spread out.
The strange figure in the lead looked at the Garrison Army not far away with contempt and then turned to look into the distance.
In the direction of the floating island.
