Chapter 217: The Journey in the Forest
The stone man had driven a day's road, and the mountains had passed most of it. The next thing to go is a place that in the past only adventurers who are not afraid of death will walk.
It was a large forest as far as the eye could see, part of the Forest of Bewilderment. It is also a place where countless people are looking for the passion and romance of life. What's more, I don't know how many bones there are buried in the cemetery here.
The stone people needed to walk through the large forest and rush straight to the agreed destination, waiting for the arrival of the Great Elders. More than half an hour later, the stone man stepped into the forest that he had seen before.
The ground beneath his feet became softer, which made the stone man a little unaccustomed. Compared to the rocky ground, the mud soil with flowers and trees is naturally much softer.
The woods here are still very loose, and the green meadows not far away can still see various traces left by small animals. However, there are not many hares and pheasants in the impression. Those bitten leaves, the traces of walking, look like they have been around for a while.
"It seems that I overestimated myself, this is indeed not a place to hurry!"
As you go deeper into the forest, the trees start to grow taller. Many of the trees are more than ten meters tall, and if it weren't for the cool season and the leaves have fallen a lot, I'm afraid the sky would be covered by a dense canopy. Even so, those large and small branches made the sky above look a little gloomy.
Those decimal trees, flowers, grass and withered vines, the stone man didn't care much, as long as the direction was right, he forced himself over. But it took one or two people to hug him, and the thick tree for several years made him have to avoid it. This slowed down his previous extremely fast speed by more than double.
It was slowly getting dark, and the moonlight was good tonight, and the warriors and blood eagle guards in the castle had already had dinner. It was the three mermaid sisters who stayed in the castle all day to help prepare it together. The octopus, who had also been stuffy in the castle for several days, was finally about to suffocate, and after getting to know the big boss and a few Blood Eagle Guard officers, he became a good drinking friend.
The stone man's speed slowed, and the moonlight wasn't bright enough to illuminate the path ahead. Two pillars of light, like car lights, are projected from the eye of the stone towards the front.
At night, whether it is the movement of the stone man hurrying or the bright bright light line, it is a presence that will attract the attention of other creatures.
No matter how cautious Jonny is, he will still come back. A strange sound reached the ears of several people sitting at the gate of the castle.
"It's important to hurry, don't waste time!"
The figures danced flexibly among the trees, and the aura on their bodies could be felt by Jonny himself. But now, indeed, is not the time to fight them. In this environment, the number of enemies is unknown, and if the movement is too loud, it is likely to attract more troubles that you don't need to encounter.
"I understand, and I don't need to waste too much time!"
Eggman and Belch were told to retreat by Jonny, but Thatch and the Grand Leader walked over with a few people, and said with a smile on their faces.
"Since we can't use muskets and artillery, then we have to work hard ourselves!"
Several of them are strong people who can use sword qi and sword qi, although the shark and octopus people also have that strength, but the location at the city gate is not large, they can't move, and the power of the shot is likely to be inferior to them.
Jonny didn't object, in fact, with the strength of the stone man's body, he was forced to take some attacks, but it wasn't a big problem. But the speed of action will still have some effect. They also wanted to be faster, so they decided that it would be better to solve some obstacles that stood in their way.
"Mr. Qiao, you go all out! Anything that stands in front of us, whether it's a zerg or a tree, we'll cut it all! ”
Behind the stone man, the Zerg who were chasing after him hissed strangely, and the tone of the voice made the eyes of the big leader flicker with a touch of coldness. Before the words fell, several figures came into view in front of him, and the big leader waved the broadsword in his hand and took the lead.
A sword light slash three or four meters long, from the position of the city gate on the stone man's chest, flew forward and rushed towards several cockroach people. The slash rushed out more than ten meters before stopping, and in that direction, in addition to a few insect people who were cut off, several stout trees were also cut off and fell to the ground.
The sound of a tree falling to the ground and a cockroach man screaming spread the word about the neighborhood movement. However, compared to the sound of gunfire, it is not so harsh and loud, and it is not far away.
Thatch and the genetic warriors, as well as the non-commissioned officers of the Blood Eagle Guard, all made a move. Many of the Zerg who stood in front of them were chopped down and fell to the ground. Even if he was lucky enough to dodge, he couldn't please the stone man who rushed over. And the unfortunate ones, like the trees, were cut in two by the slash.
The Grand Leader and the five genetic warriors guarded the first half of the night, while Thatch took the non-commissioned officers of the Blood Eagle Guard to help the Stone Man clear the way in the second half of the night. Although it is not as fast as the advance speed during the day, it is not much weakened by those zergs.
However, the endurance of the Zerg is not weak, if it is not for the stone people who are in a hurry, no matter how strong the person is, most of them will be chased by less than fifty percent of their combat power. They chased after the stone men until it was almost dawn, and there were not many of them who gave up their pursuit, except that there were more and more of them.
The Great Leader and Thatch had no intention of making any moves against the Zerg who were chasing behind. One is that there are too many of them, and the other is that as long as they don't hinder the way forward, they can be ignored for the time being.
It was almost dawn, and it was not far from coming out of the forest. The route chosen by the stone man, with a mountain range not far away, was a good reference for him to estimate where he had come.
After more than an hour, looking at the large grassland not far away, and the sparsely scattered tall trees, a smile appeared in Jonny's eyes. After a day and a night of driving, I finally arrived at my destination. With the thousands of Zerg following behind him, it's time to settle accounts.
"Ready, fire!"
Boom Boom! ——
More than a hundred cannons were removed from the five or six large sea ships, and the rear of the stone man was densely armed like a hedgehog at this time. Looking at the dense mini city gate, the soldiers who had been waiting there for a long time were operating artillery to bombard the Zerg in the rear.
It was only bombarded three times, and most of the cockroach people, centipede people, spider people, and cockroach people who were originally chasing closely became shredded limbs and fragments in the artillery fire. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
