"Do you see that?" Hugo asked Cardinal Chino next to him for confirmation: "The ground is moving!"

"Could it be that we are sinking by piling up the boulders?" Cardinal Chino did not see the ground moving, but was keenly aware that the ground seemed to be slightly sunken than before.

"No, I swear, the ground was really fluctuating just now, it felt like it was alive!" Hugo was just carrying the rocks, and he didn't feel it carefully, but he was sure that the ground did have a strange fluctuation. This kind of fluctuation is definitely not the kind of shaking of the earth or earthquake, but the rhythm of a living creature writhing its body.

"Are we going to give up the first line of defense?" Cardinal Chino was in a dilemma.

He attached great importance to Hugo's discoveries.

The question is.

How much effort was wasted here to barely stack the boulders.

Just when the defense line is just a little larger, and it can be closed after a little more effort, do you want to give up with all your efforts?

Just because of an unusual ground tremor?

This.

How to explain to all parties?

In order to build the first line of defense, the ascetics and hermits, and countless others are exhausted from this, and if they give up with just one sentence, then what will everyone think in their hearts?

The valley mouth of the first line of defense is the narrowest.

Less than forty meters.

At present, there are not enough stones to be carried in the vicinity to support and close together into a stone wall.

If the first line of defense is abandoned and retreated to the second line of defense, which is more than sixty meters wide, when will the second line of defense be formed?

"Hugo, there are many strange phenomena in the Fallen Lands, and maybe this is just one of them. Cardinal Chino looked at Hugo, he supported Hugo's judgment in his heart, the problem was that he really couldn't give the order to abandon the first line of defense and retreat.

"Perhaps!" Hugo was very entangled.

He knew that something had happened, and hiding it would cause great trouble.

It's just that he saw Cardinal Chino with a little pleading eyes, and he really couldn't bear to tell the truth about it.

Cardinal Chino was relieved to see that Hugo had given up the pursuit of the truth, and he felt a wave of guilt, and he reached out and patted Hugo on the shoulder: "There are some things in the world that are like this, we may have seen the truth, or are close to the truth, but we cannot find out carefully. Because if we do that, it will immediately set off a chain reaction, and then things will go in a direction that we cannot estimate! Hugo, I promise you, no matter what, I will stand here with you, and my promise can only be this!"

"I can understand that. Hugo sighed slightly.

My heart is still not firm enough!

If Mr. Wood is here.

He will surely know the truth.

Not only that, but he will definitely stand up and tell people what the truth is, and then steadfastly lead the team in the right direction......

Hugo took a deep breath, rushed into the rain, carried a boulder dozens of meters away, and then moved the boulder to the original position of the abnormality, smashing the boulder hard.

He knew that doing so might not have any effect.

But for peace of mind.

I can only comfort myself in thinking that moving more and heavier boulders here will suppress monsters that may burst out of the ground!

Cardinal Chino also brought a heavy boulder, he looked at Hugo, nodded slightly, as if to comfort Hugo that he would be fine, no matter what his comforting eyes stimulated Hugo, Hugo took a breath and wanted to raise his voice to warn the ascetics who were moving the boulder around him to pay attention and tell them the truth. Cardinal Chino rushed to Hugo, he grabbed Hugo's shoulders and looked at him without blinking, as if begging him not to speak.

Hugo reached out and pushed Cardinal Chino away.

He slammed his fist into the chest.

Shout.

Yes!

After venting a little, he pointed to the ground where the original movement was abnormal: "Here, I will build a huge pile of boulders here, and you try to move more and heavier stones here, the more the better!"

Cardinal Chino breathed a sigh of relief, and he nodded at Hugo, his eyes full of gratitude.

Hugo was shaking his head.

He walked into the rain with a gloomy expression.

Step by step, walk towards a boulder in the distance that no one can shake.

With the concerted efforts of all of them, after two hours, the stone walls that had been piled up finally closed. It has a height of three meters and a width of nearly two meters, and although it is not at all uneven above, the rugged walls give the expedition members an unimaginable sense of support. With this stone wall, people finally have the confidence to withstand the attacks of Stormfang, Horned Monsters, and other monsters.

Compared to the first line of defense, the second line of defense is still far from being completed.

The Legion of Eden, the Vision of God, and the Plantagenet expeditions had to travel kilometers to carry the stones, and as they exhausted themselves carrying the stones, they also had an equal number of companions to protect the transport lanes along the way.

"Let the children rest, they're all tired!" Cardinal Nero waved his hand, stopping his expedition to rest.

"But we are still far from meeting the standards of a safe environment, our first line of defense is thinner than paper, the second line of defense has not yet been built, and if the monsters gather into a tide and attack in the rain, we will most likely let them break through the defense...... There is nothing in front of us, we don't even have the slightest shelter, and if we camp and rest now, and a monster is attacking from the front, we can't organize a defensive line to resist!" Thomas disagreed with Cardinal Nero's proposal to suspend work and rest for all.

In his opinion.

Not only the second line of defense must be built.

The expedition team must also build another protective wall behind the second line of defense before the monsters can bypass the Long Rock Canyon.

The expedition team was then able to camp and rest in a safe area between the protective wall and the second line of defense, so that they could be safe.

As for being tired.

Thomas, of course, knew that everyone's physical exertion was severe.

Rushing for 50 kilometers in a row, plus rushing to build two lines of defense, it would be false to say that you are not tired.

Even I feel a little tired, ordinary expedition members are naturally very tired, but this is by no means a reason to rest, it is precisely because they are tired and need to rest, that they need to build a protective wall in an all-round way. Without the protection of safety, it was impossible for the expedition members to have a good rest, and they became more and more tired under the harassment of the monsters, and finally broke down completely.

"Stand up, I know you're close to your limit, but get through it, and you'll find that you still have unsqueezed potential! You can, all get up and work, we need a safe zone!" Josiah shouted to every member of the expedition around him, and if the other person was obedient and stood up as soon as he walked to the side, he would nod at the other person, or pat the shoulder and give the other person an encouraging look. But if the other party is an old oilman, then he will fly up and kick the opponent's P share directly: "Stand up for me, you will stand up for me if you don't die! Do you know what you look like? A pig waiting to be slaughtered! A piece of delicious meat! You think you are safe now? Dream about you! When you think you can rest now, the monster will quietly touch you, eat you one by one, and then pull you out and become the most disgusting excrement in the Fallen Land!"

Many of the tired expedition members cursed Josiah that they really needed to rest and not never stop carrying stones like the slaves who built the pyramids.

But they did not dare to resist in front of Josiah.

This man's nickname is the Governor.

It can be seen from this.

If he was determined to kill someone, there was no way anyone could stop him.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the sky in the fallen land seemed to have pierced a hole, and the rain seemed to pour down several years of rain at once.

Bloody Mary stood quietly on a sharp stone in the stone wall, silently looking at her in the direction of Lin Dong, and no one dared to speak to her. Even a blind man can see now that this bloody duchess is in a rather bad mood, and provoking her at this time is undoubtedly a dead end.

In the rain curtain, three fanged horned monsters crept close to the stone wall.

Their bounce is surprisingly strong.

Take a light leap.

Already jumped on the stone wall.

"Die!" Bloody Mary waved her hand, and the man didn't seem to move half a step from his position, and the heads of the two fanged horned monsters suddenly fell from their necks and rolled down the stone wall, rolling out a pool of blood. The remaining fanged horned monster turned to escape, but alas, it was only its large head that escaped from the stone wall...... Its body was still on the stone wall, and it kicked its four legs frantically, convulsing for a long time before it slowly subsided.

"Terrible!" everyone who saw this scene gasped in their hearts.

Fortunately, the bloody duchess is still a teammate.

If you stand on the opposite side.

God knows how many people will die at her hands.

Bird also stood on the stone wall, looking in the direction where Lin Dong was through the heavy rain curtain, his eyes a little dazed.

In his estimation, Lin Dong should have arrived an hour earlier or even earlier, but he did not come, nor did he send a messenger to inform the troops at the front of the breakthrough of any news, which was far from his expectation.

"Mr. Wood, hasn't he arrived yet?" asked David, standing beside Bird, feigning concern.

"Nope. Bird shook his head slightly.

"There shouldn't be any problem for Mr. Wood to break through, and most of the special combat team should have successfully broken out of the monster's encirclement, as for Mr. Philip of the Dark Temple and Big Ivan of the Eastern European Grand Alliance, I don't think it's a problem, after all, they have enough genetic warriors to escort them. It's just that small and medium-sized forces such as the Boat Club, the Viking Storm Regiment, and the Black Swordsman Regiment may be a little troublesome, except for a few elites, I don't think they can get here safely! Maybe Mr. Wood can't bear to abandon them, so he delayed the time!" David shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and pretended to smile in a chic manner: "I can't do such a great move as Mr. Wood, I have always agreed with the law of the jungle, only in this way can human beings pursue success and move towards progress!"

"You're right. Bird nodded slightly, seemingly agreeing with David's remarks, "But I suspect that the reason for Mr. Wood's late arrival is not the siege of the Stormtooth Horned Monster, but this sudden heavy rain!"

"Heavy rain?" David was stunned, and then laughed, "Mr. Bird, do you suspect that Mr. Wood is lost?"

"It's not like getting lost, Joao, Luca and Marco shouldn't be able to lead the way, and I have absolute trust in their professionalism. I suspect that there are other reasons, such as the heavy rain that has brought new enemies and hindered the advance of the troops that are being delayed. Bird gave his verdict.

"Isn't it the other way around? Why do I think heavy rain is the best shade? You see, most of the fanged horned monsters don't like rain, they take refuge under the rock wall!If Mr. Wood can lead the team, I think it must have been the heavy rain that helped them a lot, dispersed the monsters, and allowed them to escape!" David completely disagreed with Bird's reasoning.

"Heavy rain brings new enemies, and I've had a not-so-good experience before!" Bird sighed slightly, "I hope the rain here will be exceptional!"

"Mr. Bird, you are very thoughtful, but there are some things that we should face with optimism!" David laughed: "It is impossible to bring new monsters when it rains, no monster likes rain, it is cold and damp, the vision is blocked, the sense of smell is blocked, in this case all the creatures will find a safe place to hide, and the predators will not come out on a rainy day at all to waste their energy, because it means that nothing will be found!"

Bird didn't respond to him, just quietly looked into the distance.

David was a little uninteresting.

Jump off a stone wall.

A while.

He took out an umbrella from his subordinate's backpack and held it up, then took the sandwich specially prepared for him, jumped onto the stone wall, and stood beside Bird while eating, and motioned, "Mr. Bird, do you want one?"

"Thank you very much, I don't need it yet!" Bird shook his head, he stubbornly looked into the hazy distance of the rain, as if to find something inside.

"Mr. Wood doesn't seem to be able to make it for a while, we need to replenish a little energy to fill our stomachs first, and then we can go out and pull him when he needs a helping hand!" David ate slowly and was in a pleasant mood: "It would be perfect if we could have a cup of hot coffee at this time!"

"Wait a minute!" Bird suddenly motioned for him to be quiet, and listened quietly.

"Nothing, except for the sound of rain!" David listened and shook his head a little dissatisfied: "Mr. Bird, I dare say that even ghosts will not come out to wander at this time!"

"Roar!" Bird's color changed, his expression became extremely serious, and the light in his eyes was as sharp as a dagger: "I heard it right, there is a roar!"

"But I didn't hear anything!" David's words had not yet been finished, when he heard a dull roar from afar.

Oh howl howl......
