Chapter 486: Collapse
Even if it was directly affected by the will of the abyss, the strength of the tree man and beast that did not get much energy to strengthen it during the transformation was not very different from before, at least in the eyes of Nangong Rong and the others. So when Lin Weiyin used a beam weapon to name the monsters that approached one by one, they were basically one shot at a time, and it didn't take long for them to be eliminated by the girl.
However, the dense tsunami-like miscellaneous army group behind was still in hot pursuit, looking at that look, Nangong Rong even thought that they were going to chase until the end of the world, and just as they were thinking about how to get rid of each other, these guys suddenly turned a corner without warning, and went straight to the giant tree of the elf clan in the distance.
Obviously, the Abyss Commander who commanded this battle thought that it was more important to bulldoze the elven stronghold here than to pursue Nangong Rong and his party, who were fleeing with all their might.
Since the enemy no longer pursued, the boy and the others quickly got out of the crisis, and after opening enough distance from the battlefield, they all looked at the big tree in the distance. At this moment, countless arrows, magic, and other projectiles rained down from the trees, smashing the army of monsters that came in like a tidal wave, and the crossbow arrows that exploded in a wide range set off a large area of fire, but all this did nothing in the face of the raging tsunami, and wave after wave of miscellaneous soldiers quickly washed away the vacant positions created by the team's attack, and finally slammed into the bottom surface of the giant tree.
It's not that the elf didn't open its shield, but in the previous battle, the shield of the giant tree had been crushed by the abyss, and it was finally recovered a little, followed by another violent spiritual impact, and now there was no shield. The reason why the Abyss Commander gave up the pursuit of Nangong Rong and the others was also to use this opportunity to capture the giant tree in one go, so as to save the elves from continuing to fight here slowly.
I don't know what kind of spell those pointed ears have set on the surface of the tree, and the monsters who are desperately tearing the bark and trying to climb up the trunk suddenly roll to the ground like Xiao Qiang who has been sprayed with insecticide and struggle in pain, even if it is a monster transformed from a tree man.
It should be some kind of spell launched against the abyss energy, and it is indeed very effective against ordinary cannon fodder miscellaneous soldiers, but unfortunately, when the number of opponents gathers to a certain extent, this kind of spell can only be seen for a while.
Because the miscellaneous soldiers will use up the amount of mana that supports this spell, it will be consumed more quickly when the spell covers a large area, and it is not even too late to replenish it artificially. And it was clear that the elves covered most of the surface of the giant tree with the spell, and then there was no more.
A large group of monsters that arrived first were rolled to the ground by the spell, and then trampled into a mosaic by their companions who followed, and these miscellaneous soldiers who arrived later repeated the movements of their predecessors, and then rolled to the ground with convulsions of pain - and so on, until finally the magic disappeared after the third wave of monsters climbed onto the surface of the giant tree.
The disgusting purple-red color began to spread rapidly upwards from the root of the tree, and many of the turrets and elven soldiers on the branches in the middle of the trunk could not help but transfer their fire to these climbing monsters, causing them to react like an avalanche when they fell. It's just that the number of opponents is too exaggerated, no matter how many elves knock out, more miscellaneous soldiers will rush up, and there is no way to stop them from climbing.
Finally, when the first monster managed to stand on top of the middle branch with the help of the sacrifice and cover of his companions, the fierce melee battle began. Because it was too far away, Nangong Rong couldn't see the specific situation of the battle between the two sides at all, but at least the purple-red wave flooded the surface of the branches, and the huge fort was demolished and fell to the ground, which means that the elves deployed on the branches couldn't resist for long at all.
Or did they simply abandon their positions? Considering that the part where each branch was connected to the trunk of the tree had a door leading to the inside, and the abyssal monsters that poured up the branches did not penetrate the inside of the giant tree through these doors, it must have been because the pointed ears were closed or even sealed in advance - if this is the case, it is not surprising that a small number of people were left behind before this and then the main force was evacuated.
The deep, disgusting purple-red color continued to spread upwards along the trunk of the tree, constantly eroding and occupying branch after branch, tearing apart everything that existed on the surface of the tree, whether it was elves, weapons, or critters living on the tree, and finally only a dazzling purple red remained.
The entire tree looked as if it had been smeared from end to end with inferior paint, and there was no trace of the Elven presence on the outside.
There appears to be a broken hole near the top of the tree, from where the monsters are pouring into the tree. However, Nangong Rong knew that the hole was deliberately prepared in advance by the pointed ears, after all, if the entrance was all sealed, it was not clear where the abyss would open a new entrance, and deliberately leaving an entrance could attract the other party to enter from this place, and then rely on the complex terrain and traps inside to kill monsters.
The entrance to the cave is only so big, and the number of monsters that enter each time is definitely not much, and the miscellaneous soldiers who can't form a numerical advantage are really no different from cannon fodder.
There is nothing wrong with this tactic itself, but the point is that the abyss that launches the attack is not all a bunch of brainless circle nines, and the commander on the opposite side will not be foolish enough to attack from only one entrance, and has been letting the monsters frantically gnaw at the root of the tree from the beginning.
Of course, Nangong Rong didn't know about this, and by the time the boy realized what the monster was doing, everything had already happened.
The towering tree tilted with a crackling sound that was visible to the naked eye, and the crack that had broken from its roots became its fatal wound, and it collapsed with a thud towards the purple-red ground, smashing out of the pit and raising up countless dust.
The elven defenders, who were planning to resist with the help of the giant tree, were completely finished, and no one could save them. Therefore, Nangong Rong was only silent for a moment, then turned his head and stopped watching the battle, and ran away wholeheartedly.
If they don't go, the next unlucky one will be their turn.
Fortunately, the abyssal monsters who were busy cleaning up the inside of the big tree ignored the young man and his party, and they soon moved away from the battlefield to a position where the warring parties were completely invisible. It's an elven village, and the inhabitants have long since been cleaned, and then taken over by some wild animals.
Octavier was puzzled by Nangong Rong's approach of stopping his advance, and couldn't help but look at him and asked strangely, "I said, what the hell is stopping here, is it possible that you still expect to find something useful here?" ”
"Angellot once told us that not all elves choose to live in the Tree of Life, and that there are still some very small villages in the wild. Nangong Rong looked at the surrounding treehouses that were poorly made but beautifully shaped and decorated, and explained, "There are also teleportation arrays in these villages, and we can use it to teleport to other villages or to the city's tree of life, if we are lucky enough that the teleportation array can continue to be used......"
Lin Weiyin was obviously not satisfied with this explanation, but after all, she was not the one who controlled the four legs of the spaceship, so she could only shrug her shoulders helplessly: "Dear Ernie sauce, if there are still people in this village, I would like to believe that the teleportation array can still be used normally, but now there is not even a figure, do you think those handsome men and women will let the teleportation array continue to work after all are evacuated?"
"It's true, but after all, this village is close to the front line, and there is still a good chance that the elves will arrange manpower here to take over the retreating troops after the defense fails. If they did, they should have just been away for a short time, and if they're lucky, the teleportation array might still be functioning. ”
Nangong Rong's speculation was actually only half successful, and this village did have a person in charge of receiving the troops who had retreated from the front line, but it was Angellot who responded at that time. As for the defenders in the defensive stronghold in front of them, the Sharp-Eared didn't think about this kind of thing at all, because they used the teleportation array in the village to bring a large number of treants and beasts as counterattack troops, and they had great confidence in repelling the abyss.
Of course, it's useless to say anything now, the small number of elven troops stationed here were immediately shocked after seeing the big tree collapse, and fled the village with a teleportation array, leaving only some small animals with probes and very curious brains to play hide and seek here.
In the clearing in the middle of the village, they found the large teleportation array, apparently temporarily expanded to accommodate a convoy of a dozen trucks, and the ship was not too small to teleport when it walked up, if the teleportation array could still be activated.
"Okay, so who should activate the teleportation array?" Octavier asked with a speechless face as he spread his hands at Nangong Rong, "First of all, I can't, this kind of spell is too advanced for me, and there is no possibility of interpreting it at all." ”
The young man only smiled faintly at this: "I know that you are a mage of the action school, and you are not proficient in magic arrays that require repeated writing and drawing, so I have never counted on you." Come on Golden Retriever, it's your appearance. ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately turned their curious eyes to the translucent projection in the cabin, only to see a blonde Lori gently raise her index finger and sway it left and right twice, and then the teleportation array at the foot of the spaceship suddenly lit up with dazzling light, and it was clearly successfully activated.
"The last time I came to this world, Chenyu secretly told this system about the use of the elven teleportation array, and I secretly told Sao Nian about it. How's it going, surprised or not?"
The eldest princess was about to say something, but the light from the teleportation array had already enveloped her entire field of vision, so that the girl had to raise her arm to cover her eyes, and the words in her mouth naturally could not be spoken;
Octavir then watched in amazement as the landscape changed from a patchwork of treehouse villages to lush primeval forests, with a horde of heavily armed elven soldiers and large, ferocious beasts such as bears and tigers surrounding the ship, dismantling it to pieces without saying a word.
Glancing at Lin Weiyin, who was outside the window, she squinted her eyes on the spot and said thoughtfully: "Well, this surprise is there, but I haven't seen where the joy is." ”
The red-clothed three-headed body next to the little girl couldn't help but nod her head vigorously in agreement.
Nangong Rong ignored the ridicule of his cheap sister, and directly opened the hatch and walked out with his hands raised to signal that he was not hostile. Although the boy's presence caused a series of sounds of armor rubbing against weapons, the group of pointy ears were fortunate enough to resist attacking directly, probably because the strange-looking spaceship that appeared from the teleportation array instead of the imaginary creatures of the abyss made them hesitate a little.
"Lay down your arms, all of you lay down your weapons!" Suddenly, a pleasant female voice sounded from behind the group of elven soldiers who were like a great enemy, and then Angelot, who looked eager, squeezed out of the crowd, "Those are their own people." ”
Since Angellot had said so, and there was indeed no abyssal aura detected from the surface and interior of the spaceship, the nervous soldiers around them finally relaxed, but they still stayed where they were and did not leave - the soldiers who had fled back had already informed everyone that the big tree that was a defensive stronghold had collapsed, so what appeared from the teleportation array at this time was either a fleeing elf or a fierce abyss, and they had to be prepared.
After the spaceship left the teleportation array and found an open space to stop, Angelot hurriedly came to the young man and the others who stepped off the spaceship, caressing his chest and letting out a long sigh of relief, the expression on his face was as if the unlucky man who was killed in the mountains had met the rescuer.
"Thank goodness you're here. To be honest, neither Chenyu nor I can be sure whether the external broadcast that broke through the abyss interference before can be heard, but I am relieved that you have come. ”
It didn't take long to see this kind and lovely elf cute girl, who was already so tired that she seemed to have been on the night shift for more than a month, and even the soft hair that Nangong Rong liked very much had curled and split ends, and her ears, which were originally vibrant, also looked weak and weak, which made people feel very distressed when they looked at it.
Of course, in front of the main palace (scheduled), Nangong Rong didn't show anything blatantly, he just looked at the elf girl with a solemn expression on his face and asked seriously, "What happened?"
