Chapter 863: Nightmare Production Base
In the abandoned city, there are no less than ten locusts as huge as a mountain, and they keep laying eggs and hatching.
A large number of unparasitic locusts, coming in and out, carrying food and nutrients for their own locust queens.
As for food, it is the Abigail World Tree that is used to sustain the sap and fruit of the Abigail people in the city.
That's why they have to stay here, not just build a nest somewhere else.
The Abigail World Tree is not something that these creatures can eat if they want, and without these wells of sap that have been actively exposed, with the size of the World Tree, they may not have gnawed a layer of bark even if they are gnawed to death.
If you can't bite it, whether it will become a deadly poison when you eat it in your mouth is another matter.
I believe that when the consciousness of the goddess Abigail is still intact, although this kind of factory-based, mass-produced distorted nightmare exists, the situation will definitely not be particularly serious, and the quantity will not be particularly large, so it can only be carried out secretly.
Because once the goddess Abigail catches her attention, she will cut off their nutritional supply in a matter of minutes, and turn this place into a complete ruin.
As the consciousness of the goddess Abigail fell into a deep sleep, the Abigail World Tree was really just a huge tree that had lost the ability to resist.
These Twisted Nightmare Fabrication Factories can be unscrupulous, full-firepower, and mass-produced Twisted Nightmares.
And behind this, there is definitely a shadow master who knows the true situation of the goddess Abigail, and there is a ninety percent chance that the shadow master mother who was severely injured by the goddess Abigail and split into several different individuals.
They will not let it go, cannibalizing the perfect opportunity to attack the Abigail plane.
There can never be just one such lair, and as the number of twisted nightmares continues to grow, and the number of captured Abigail cities continues to grow, their numbers will snowball.
If you don't find a way to curb it, it won't take long.
The entire Abigail plane will be filled with this locust twisted nightmare.
The locust twisted nightmare is not terrifying on its own, and it is similar in size to an Abigail.
But if there are enough of them, they can also be devastating.
Isn't the locust plague typical?
How can humans usually take those little grasshoppers in their eyes?
Once they are massed in the tens of millions, they will be a plague of locusts that people talk about.
What's more, the terrifying degree of the flying locust's twisted nightmare is far beyond the ability of the locusts, and I believe that in front of it, most of the Abigail people have no power to fight back.
Sean's previous attempt to unite all the Abigailis in a mending plan to save Abigail's World Tree now seems a bit naïve.
Abigail's plane has completely collapsed, like a sieve, full of holes, full of pits.
A hole in the sky, the mud that pasted it, Sean found a small piece the size of a palm.
New threats, new holes, have emerged here.
It is believed that this new hole is not the last, and there will be more and more as his plan to mend the heavens progresses.
Filling the leaks has never been a simple matter.
Sean is now in the know.
Although the Shadow Giant Bird eats the locust and twists the nightmare, their fondness for the body is significantly higher, and they are happy to peck at it.
Five predators broke into their own tides and froze on food.
The locusts twisted the nightmare like a frying pan, some of them rushing towards the Shadow Bird without fear of death, buying time, and some of them were gathering and converging into an army.
This orderly response proves that there is at least one Shadow Mastermind in this lair who is superior in command.
The enemy of the enemy is the ally.
Although dozens of minutes ago, these five shadow giant birds were still trying to treat themselves as a meal.
But when faced with these twisted nightmares that were more threatening to Abigail's plane, Sean was firmly on the side of these shadow birds.
You can also think of it from another angle.
Now the five shadow giant birds have become Sean's pioneers, and the firepower attracts points.
Attracting most of the attention of the warped nightmare, including the shadow mastermind, naturally makes it easier to expose his whereabouts to Sean hiding in the shadows.
The most difficult thing about the Shadow Mastermind is not its great strength, but its ability to disguise and its cunning personality.
If it doesn't command the Warped Nightmare on a large scale, it will most likely disguise itself as the most common Warped Nightmare, and it's hard to spot that it's the mastermind.
The shadow mastermind in this ruined city's lair is the best in this regard, and Sean didn't even notice it until it sent a specific signal to mobilize a large number of twisted nightmares.
Because this guy isn't in a twisted nightmare, it's one of many locust queens.
More precisely, it has reached a symbiotic mode with a locust queen.
The body of the queen locust still reproduces eggs, and it reproduces the seed of shadow in the body of this queen locust.
At first, Sean focused his attention on those shadow energy fluctuations that were so large that they distorted the nightmares, ignoring it, which was normal.
When I found out where the opponent's main brain was, especially when this main brain also had the function of reproduction, the rest of the matter was much simpler.
Pot-bellied poop and difficulty moving.
It is the price it must pay for having a high level of production capacity.
Sean didn't even use the state of a law fighter, and rushed forward with a staff of life, slashing his head and covering his face.
This mixture of the locust queen and not the locust queen, the shadow master brain and not the shadow master brain, pumped and screamed, and the juice flew sideways.
It's just that Sean bombarded for a long time, and the shadow locust was still full of energy, and there was no sign of explanation at all.
All kinds of defects give it the advantage of rough skin and thick flesh, and it is not possible to win it in a while.
The surrounding locust nightmares and flying locusts, when Sean launched an attack on it, suddenly rushed to this side like a fried pot, launching a suicidal attack on Sean, trying to rescue it.
One or two really can't pose a threat to Sean, but there are too many of them, which seriously affects his attack efficiency.
The upper limit of physical attack is too difficult to break after all, and at this level of engagement, it is still necessary to focus on energy attacks, and physical attacks can only be used as auxiliaries.
Sean couldn't help but sigh like this in his heart, and adjusted his attack method without hesitation.
Physical attacks are just Sean's habitual starting attack, and it's not all.
"Get out of here!"
Sean let out a heavy snort, and the staff of life slammed on the ground.
The power surged, and an emerald green shockwave spread around it.
This emerald green light, to the Abigail people, is the light of life, the light of healing, which can make them refreshed and energetic.
When it comes to the Twisted Nightmare, it becomes the light of destruction, the light of death, under the impact of this power.
The locust nightmare, like snow under the scorching sun, is melting rapidly, and it will not last even three seconds if it is so close that it will be completely wiped out from this world.
The situation of the corporeal locusts was somewhat better, but it was also quite limited, constantly screaming and twitching in pain, black smoke belching outward, and the smell of barbecue protein in the air.
Although they have not transformed into twisted nightmares now, it is inevitable that they will accumulate a large amount of shadow energy in their bodies all day long, and these shadow energies will be directly activated by the life force in a fierce way, and they will burn brightly.
By the time those shadow energies were purified by the life force, they were basically cooked.
And the locust queen became the biggest object of ignition, and the life force was like a tide, surging into its body.
The locust queen's mountain-like body trembled involuntarily and let out an even more terrible scream.
With the huge belly wriggling, cocoon-like giant eggs composed of shadow energy erupted like rain.
In the next second, fierce monsters broke out of their cocoons.
These monsters that emerge from their cocoons are three times the size of a normal flying nightmare.
It is neither a simple creature nor a simple flesh and blood, but like the Shadow Bird, it is a shadow creature in between, a unique existence that combines the advantages of both.
Sean's light of life was immediately discounted when it met them.
The lit nature of the light of life is derived from the targeting of shadow energy by the laws of the plane.
Although these shadow creatures also have shadow energy in their bodies, they are born in the laws of the plane, and they are barely legally occupied.
In appearance, it is also far from the flying locust, but it is similar to the other predator of the locust, the praying mantis, especially the pair of large knives on the forelimbs, which looks majestic.
After they broke out of their shells, they vibrated their slender wings and rushed towards Sean at high speed, a pair of big knives kept opening and closing, looking like they would not stop if they did not kill Sean.
Obviously, they are the convoy of the locust queen to buy time for themselves.
This locust nest vividly interprets the collapse of Abigail's plane laws.
They don't follow the laws of the plane at all, racial or genetic traits, but all that is beneficial to them is fused together.
The colony of ants, the high yield of the queen ants.
The ability of locusts to fly.
The powerful attack power of the praying mantis.
This kind of shadow mantis can be called a highly efficient killing attack machine, and it is also unkind to the flying locusts that stand in their way.
The pair of big knives, or like heavy punches, suddenly popped out, and the bodies of those flying locusts were suddenly seriously deformed and knocked out.
Or a clamp like a giant scissor, directly clamping these obstructive guys in half.
Between advance and retreat, there is a relatively strict cooperation.
A group of praying mantis that are the same size as a car and know how to cooperate with each other, don't you think it's scary?
Of course, this horror is relative.
If it were an ordinary army, it would be absolutely catastrophic to face such a group of ruthless killing machines.
Now they're not dealing with ordinary people.
Neither the Shadow Giant nor Sean were.
Before these shadow mantis could rush in front of Sean, they attracted the attention of those shadow giants and triggered their deep happiness.
One by one, they chirped and shifted their eating locations.
Vibrating their wings, they rushed up and pecked at those shadow mantises.
Compared to the take-off locust, the shadow mantis is somewhat difficult for the shadow giant bird.
This increase in difficulty, that is, eating from a bite.
It became the first bite, poked the target half to death, and after losing most of the resistance, the second bite was pecked up and eaten.
Even for the Shadow Giant Bird, the Shadow Mantis's mantis punching is quite deterrent.
A blow to their beak, which is harder than steel, is enough, and a bullet in their relatively fragile beak or throat is enough.
However, they have a lot of experience in eating, and most of the shadow mantis have their stomachs, and they do not have this tragic situation.
There was even a shadow giant bird, dissatisfied with the speed at which the queen locust gave birth to the shadow mantis, jumped forward and pecked at its huge body twice, as if to force it to produce more shadow mantises so that they could eat the way they were going.
Judging by the skilful movements of those shadow birds, this was by no means the first time they had done such a thing.
At this moment, Sean seemed to clearly feel the grief and anger emanating from the shadow mastermind.
You know, unlike those muddy and twisted nightmares, the Shadow Mastermind is highly intelligent.
In the Twisted Nightmare, it can be said that under one person, above ten thousand, that is, the Shadow Master can crush them, and the rest of the Twisted Nightmares, when they come to them, can only obey the dispatch.
The Shadow Masters failed to break through the barriers, and before entering the plane, they were the leaders of the twisted nightmares everywhere.
Now its leader has been reduced to an automatic grain producer for a few flat-haired beasts.
But the problem is that it can't afford not to give birth.
It was afraid of these flat-haired beasts, so it turned its head and attacked itself.
Sean wasn't going to let the shadow maester's situation look pitiful, and let the perfect opportunity to attack.
Just when the shadow giant birds inadvertently helped themselves block a group of miscellaneous fish again, the light of life emitted by the staff of life converged, and in the blink of an eye, a translucent emerald green hand was formed in front of Sean's body, and it grabbed directly towards the locust queen.
This locust could not avoid it, and it was directly held by this giant hand.
The expected impact did not materialize.
The giant hand of the light of life directly sank into the body of the locust queen, and directly pinched the shadow master brain entrenched in his body.
As it dragged it, the locust queen froze in place.
The shadow mastermind is now considered the soul of the queen locust, and now that the soul is being dragged outside, the body will naturally have problems.
Sean's purpose is simple, since your body is too thick, then go directly around its armor and start with its relatively weak soul.
No matter how perfect the combination of the shadow mastermind and the body of the locust queen is, it is not primitive.
It is not usually visible, but it is especially obvious when this aspect is subjected to targeted attacks.
The suction of the queen locust body to the shadow master brain is very weak, and it is all on its own, just like an octopus, which tentacles its shadow energy into the corners and corners of the body.
