Chapter 853: City in the Trees
The Staff of Life is the scepter given to Sean by the goddess Abigail.
As an artifact gifted by an ancient god, it is normal to have it that it becomes longer and shorter at will with Sean's mind.
In terms of texture, not to mention.
It can be called indestructible.
Just because it behaves like wood doesn't mean that its intrinsic properties are wood.
The portion size is also frighteningly large.
Ordinary people probably don't even have the ability to pry it.
After getting bigger, the body of the law is extremely easy to use.
As long as Sean encounters along the way, one counts as one, and none of those twisted nightmares can escape.
No matter how small the mosquito leg is, it is still meat.
The little bit of law power and energy provided by these twisted nightmares, although Sean is a little disdainful now, it is good to be able to replenish his consumption.
But after walking for days along the mountain-like roots of the Abigail World Tree, not to mention living people, not even half of the landβthe roots of the Abigail World Tree are not so much rooted in the ocean as the ocean is surrounding its roots.
Could it be that you are looking in the wrong direction?
The survivors of the Abigail plane are not below, but above.
Sean looked up at the canopy that covered the roots like a canopy of sky.
Abigail's World Tree stretched as wide its roots as its canopy stretched.
It is only every day, when the sun glimpses, that you can barely see their huge outlines.
In the Abigail plane, Sean only stayed for three days, and he deeply realized how unfriendly a plane with broken laws was to the creatures here, and he also knew that when the goddess Abigail told him the time before, it was three hundred sunrises, not three hundred days.
The normal number of days is no longer useful here.
The sun doesn't come out every day.
Underneath the trees, the time seen is even shorter, and in less than an hour, it is obscured by a huge canopy and an endless gray mist.
As for thunderstorms, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc., these natural disasters are even more pediatric like those of children.
Changing in turns, many of them before this, without warning at all.
It is not surprising that after the plane barrier collapsed, the plane was not in an isolated three-dimensional space, but was moving towards a four-dimensional space.
Don't think that's a good thing.
This means that there is one more force that can interfere with this space.
A little energy fluctuation in the four dimensions will stir up a huge wave here.
This kind of extreme environment, not to mention ordinary people, even if you are a successful warrior, if you want to survive, it can be regarded as a challenge.
The intelligent beings of the Abigail plane must have a strong protective force to rely on if they want to survive.
Thinking about it, the only one with this ability is the Abigail World Tree.
Maybe the survivors, like birds, built nests in the trees to survive!
In this way, it seems that if you study how to fly yourself, this move is the right move.
Sean's search for survivors in the past few days is all incidental, and his main energy is spent on studying the third form of the body of the law, that is, the flying form.
This matter is a familiar road.
is not only the transformation of the flight state of the energy clone in front of him, but also a series of studies on the body of law in the process of soul drifting, which gives him a better understanding and control of the body of law than it used to be.
Whether it's a changing form or a streamlined structure, it's all in hand.
Sean designed two flight states for the Body of the Law.
One is the jet mode, which uses the energy jet of the energy reactor to provide power.
Not to mention the speed, a group of eight energy reactors will be fully opened, and it will throw off the eight streets of the Thunder Golden Eagle, which is comparable to the most advanced fighter in the previous life, and directly break the speed of sound.
After the successful test flight, Sean did not use this mode.
Because compared to high efficiency, the consumption is too terrifying.
The energy reactor can spew out all energy.
And energy is the foundation for maintaining the combat effectiveness of the law body, and it must be guaranteed to be above a certain amount.
The second flight mode is to plug energy wings into your back like an energy clone and adjust the overall magic circuit structure.
Coupled with the energy reactor energy injection system, it was enough to make the body of the law take off in a state of iron lumps.
When the time comes, with the help of air buoyancy to slide forward, the consumption will naturally be greatly reduced, and at the same time, it will be able to maintain a good combat effectiveness of the Law Body.
Sean had a plan in mind, and directly turned into the second flight mode and took off.
He went into cruising mode, heading towards what he had been observing for the last few days and what might have been an Abigail sanctuary.
Sean couldn't help but complain about the goddess Abigail again.
The goddess was a little too unreliable to send him directly to the main gathering place of the survivors so that he could carry out his work.
Boom!
As soon as Sean approached the first suspicious location, a familiar scream came from the air.
It was the voice that came out after the twisted nightmares had gathered.
Sean was not surprised, and secretly said in his heart, could it be that he had found the right place?
Twisted Nightmares are not social animals and do not normally gather together.
There is usually only one possibility of getting together, and that is in the case of encountering a large number of prey.
Sean tried to restrain his breath as much as he could, feeling in the direction from which the sound of the twisted nightmare came from.
A fantasy war scene was so abruptly displayed in front of Sean, even if he was well-informed, he was a little dumbfounded.
That's a city.
A large city located in the canopy of trees covering an area of no less than 30 square kilometers.
Sean wasn't surprised by the appearance of a city above the canopy, after all, he had already had similar speculations before that.
The Abigail World Tree has moved away from the category of a tree, and is enough for people to build a city on it.
It's just that the appearance of this city is a little different from what Sean originally expected, which was built directly on the Abigail World Tree.
This city was not built on the World Tree from the beginning, but directly on land like the city that Sean knew.
In other words, the entire city, along with the foundations underneath, is held up by the Abigail World Tree.
It is densely intertwined, with huge roots and branches.
A picture involuntarily appeared in Sean's mind.
A huge tree like a mountain broke through the ground, and the heavens and the earth changed color, and the earth cracked, and in front of it, the huge city was vulnerable, and the human beings were like ants.
The only thing to be thankful for is that it is the complete opposite of those who are committed to destroying the laws of the plane, the Shadow Mother, it is born to protect.
In the process of growth, a large number of tree roots and branches separated the cities where there were more intelligent lifeforms, and as the World Tree continued to grow, even the mud and soil were lifted into the air, and the city in front of him should be one of them.
The city is under siege by an army of twisted nightmares.
It's an army of twisted nightmares in the truest sense of the word.
Tens of thousands of twisted nightmares, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner.
Being able to do this level is definitely not something that three or five shadow generals can do.
In addition to at least a dozen Shadow Generals in the center, as the command hub, there should also be a more intelligent Shadow Master in the center to coordinate the overall situation.
Those twisted nightmares as soldiers, Sean is also the first to see, and what is even more rare is that their appearance is strikingly similar, with the illusion of a race.
These twisted nightmares are all in flight, and they look like a combination of locusts and octopuses, with slender bodies, locust wings and a pair of powerful right legs, but the other limbs have become tentacles of an octopus, and they are all as big as a bull.
The body shape is so uniform that eighty percent of it is distorted from the same species.
And the intelligence of this species, as a rule, is not too high.
The reason why the twisted nightmare is distorted is related to the conflict between the minds that exist in their souls.
Usually the more powerful the mind and the longer it resists the twisted nightmares formed by intelligent life, the more bizarre its form becomes.
On the contrary, those with relatively low intelligence have not changed much after becoming a distorted nightmare, and even retain some of the colors of their lives.
I don't know if the flying locust twisted nightmare in front of me is distorted by locusts.
As for where in the world are there locusts of such a large size?
If it was placed in a plane where the laws of the plane were sound, it would naturally be impossible to give birth to such a monster.
But for a world where the laws of the plane have collapsed on a large scale, and the world trees that support a planet have appeared, what is impossible.
The Flying Locusts swooped down in swarms like small fighter jets, throwing shadow spears at the city they were bessieging.
Bang! Bang!
These shadows throw spears, and there is no chance of falling to the ground of the city at all.
Exploded in mid-air.
A turquoise light mask emerged.
You don't need to ask to know that nine out of ten of this mask comes from the hands of the World Tree.
It is used to protect this city, which has become a city in the sky.
Without its protection, how could they rise to an altitude of 10,000 meters safe and sound?
Without its protection, how would they have survived the siege of a large number of twisted nightmares?
But this World Tree is dying.
The forces that protect them are visibly weakening.
Under the repeated attacks of the Flying Locust Twisted Nightmare Army, it is crumbling and threatens to collapse at any time.
This situation made the locusts twist the nightmare attack even more vigorously.
And Sean vaguely seemed to hear desperate whispers from the city, in a language that Sean had never heard before, but he clearly understood the meaning of their words.
Eighty percent of these are the hands and feet of the goddess Abigail, who gave herself the ability to stay up all night in the world's language.
Otherwise, even if Sean meets the Abigailes, it will be a great headache to have a communication barrier with them.
"It's over, it's all over, we're completely unconscious of the Mother Tree, the power of the Mother Tree is drying up, it's dying, and without the protection and support of the Mother Tree, all of us would have died. β
"You still have the face to say that we are in the current situation because of the damned mother tree in your mouth, it is it that tears the earth apart, turns our city into a birdcage, we become birds in a cage, and now that the master is dead, how can we birds be spared. β
"You are quite unreasonable, you blame the wrong person at all, the high priest has already said, the mother tree is also forced to do this, the sky falls, you don't see it, if the mother tree does not make up for the sky, all the sea water flows backwards and ascends to the sky, we are all dead, not to mention that there are countless nightmares of the dead soul outside. β
"What's the point of arguing about this now? We're all going to die, we're all going to have our souls sucked out by the monsters out there, and we're going to become monsters like them, so I'd better die now. β
"Bastard, what stupid things are you doing? You are a coward, you will be spurned by the goddess, we have not reached the most desperate step, didn't the high priest already say it? Although there is something wrong with the mother tree, it should be no problem for the divine power shield to support it for a few more weeks, we must believe the priests of the goddess, they must be trying to find a way to get in touch with the goddess, the only thing we can do now is to pray, pray that the goddess is safe, provide the goddess with the power of faith, and help her through the difficulties. β
"The Faith Cannon has been recharged. β
"Fire, aim at their densest concentration. β
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
Boom! Boom!
With a roar, golden cannonballs shot out from the city in the sky.
Unhindered, it passed through the light mask over the city, burrowed into the formation of the flying locust's twisted nightmare, and exploded after hitting the target.
The golden light of the Dao splashed everywhere.
For the Flying Locust Twisted Nightmare, these golden rays of light were sharper than knives.
Sneering at them, they can instantly turn them into shadow energy and dissipate with the wind.
At this time, the discipline and unity and coordination of the locusts distorting nightmares belonging to the army were revealed.
Accompanied by bursts of commanding screams from the array.
A portion of the Flying Warp Nightmare rushed straight out of the formation, rushing towards the golden cannonballs.
Obviously, in this way of sacrificing himself, he will save more of his companions.
If there is no coercive order, the selfish and twisted nightmare will never be able to do such a thing.
But those golden shells are obviously not so easy to deal with.
It is possible to turn in the air.
In those golden cannonballs, in addition to the power of the law and positive energy that Sean is familiar with, there is also a condensed power of thought.
Those attackers, supposedly in this way, carried out remote control of the shells.
It's just that this kind of remote control, at best, is fine-tuning, and there is no way to change the direction as you like.
Therefore, most of the golden cannonballs were intercepted by the cannon fodder sent by the Flying Locust Twisted Nightmare, and only a few fell in the military formation, causing a large number of casualties.
The locust-twisted Nightmare army's main formation remained unmoved, still attacking the city's protective shield.
The commander of the Flying Locust Warped Nightmare army also apparently has the ability to connect with other Warped Nightmares from a distance, and every moment, a new Flying Warped Nightmare merges into its army.
Following this stance, the Twisted Nightmare army has not only not been weakened, but has continued to grow.
It is only a matter of time before the protective shield of the city is breached.
