Chapter Seventy-Three: Crumbling
The third destination, and the penultimate destination, is located in an area of the Sanctuary where humans have never set foot before. On the big map, it's just a blank space.
However, according to calculations, Huangquan felt that there was a high probability that the holy land would pass through this point, so he also designated this place as a key area and came to explore.
According to the original plan, it would take about three days to walk in the rainforest and five days in heavy rain. However, this time, perhaps because all the bad luck ran out, it didn't rain until the evening.
When the night was falling, Huangquan found a flat high ground and set up camp. He himself climbed up to the treetops and looked into the distance.
Huang Quan suddenly beckoned to the bottom of the tree and stopped Sun Zhan, who happened to be passing by. Sun Zhan also climbed to the top of the tree and looked in the direction of Huang Quan's finger, but he couldn't see anything except the vast darkness.
"What's there?"
"Mountain."
"Mountain?" Sun Zhan tried again, but he could only see darkness. In fact, even during the day, the rainforest is full of fog, and even if you climb the treetops, you can't see far. As far as the eye can see, there is a vast rainforest everywhere, and there is no change in the slightest.
According to the direction and angle pointed by Huang Quan, Sun Zhan estimated that even in the daytime, he would only see a cloud of mist.
Huang Quan frowned slightly, and said, "There is a mountain range there, which is very high, and it looks very strange here." ”
The terrain in this area is mostly very flat, and the occasional undulation of a few hundred meters is remarkable. Now a thousand-meter-high mountain range suddenly appeared, and there is no record of it, which is indeed a bit abrupt.
Huang Quan suddenly asked, "What is the cruising altitude of the Holy Land?" ”
This question stumped Sun Zhan, and he recalled: "Every time the Holy Land came over, the height would be lowered, and the lowest time could be about fifty meters above the ground. Normally...... About five hundred meters? ”
"And then it can be raised?"
"I guess, but I don't know."
Huang Quan's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he never let go.
"What's wrong? Will there be questions? Sun Zhan sensed Huang Quan's abnormality.
"If I'm not bad as expected, I'm afraid we'll be able to see the Holy Land in the next two days."
"Really? Isn't that a good thing? ”
As soon as the words came out, Sun Zhan immediately stopped and looked towards Huangquan. Of course, it is good to be able to find the Holy Land, but the question is what the Holy Land will be.
Huang Quan didn't say anything, just stared into the distance.
When the starship cruises within the planet, it relies on anti-gravity to fly, using altitude as the flight benchmark, not the ground level.
Humans have only limited control over the Holy Land, and I am afraid that it cannot be raised and lowered indefinitely. If this is the case, I am afraid that it will be dangerous when flying over the mountains ahead.
Another day has passed, and we are already very close to the scheduled destination of Huangquan. Walking here, many of the fighters felt inexplicably nervous, as if something big was about to happen.
Even Luan Jie couldn't hold back his mood and asked, "Do you want to rush over overnight to have a look?" I'm not tired right now anyway! ”
"No, everyone is camped on the spot and rests. In addition, there is no limit on rations tonight, until you are full. Huang Quan gave the order.
"And who's keeping vigil?"
"Me." Huang Quan pointed to himself.
"How can this work?" Luan Jie was suddenly anxious.
Although this tall warrior was very hostile to Huang Quan at the beginning, he was not stupid after all, and knew that at the critical moment, only Huang Quan was the hope for everyone's life. Even Tianhuo couldn't force Huang Quan's true strength, and Luan Jie's little caution had long since disappeared completely.
Letting Huangquan keep vigil and expend physical strength out of thin air is undoubtedly the stupidest decision.
However, Huang Quan shook his head and said, "Execute the order!" ”
At this moment, Huangquan regained the momentum of commanding ten thousand armies during the imperial period. Luan Jie didn't dare to refute for a while, so he could only execute.
In the dead of night, the camp was quiet, everyone fell asleep, only Huang Quan stood alone in the treetops, looking at the mountains in the distance.
Of all of them, only his vision could see through the fog and see the mountains in the distance. In that direction, there was a faint glow of fire and smoke rising.
The more this time, the more calm Huang Quan became, he stared into the distance, and every part of his body went into a dormant state except for the digestive and sensory systems.
He kept putting a handful of wild fruit leaves in his mouth, chewing and swallowing them slowly. These are not foods at all for the average person, but there is almost nothing in Huangquan's stomach that cannot be digested. He slowly replenished the nutrients and necessary substances, and by the time dawn came, his physical condition was just right to reach its peak.
For the first time since this trip, Huang Quan adjusted himself to the top of his state, because his beast-like intuition told him that the natural enemy was ahead.
As the day dawned, the surge of unknown forces gradually subsided, and it seemed that the day was its time to rest.
Huang Quan waved his finger ahead, and the soldiers formed a column and walked into the rainforest. Everyone remained silent, concentrating on the march, retaining every ounce of physical strength as much as possible. Reconnaissance and vigilance were in charge of Huang Quan, and all they had to do was move forward in silence.
The terrain gradually rises, and the distant mountains gradually emerge from the mist. Many people looked shocked, they had never seen a real mountain before.
The young warrior who grew up in the shelter has never seen such a majestic mountain in addition to the two cliff-like broken mountains that he has seen in the past few decades, which are endless rainforests?
The Yellow Spring pointed to the top of the mountain, and the warriors began to climb. Although they were all amazingly powerful, they were still a little tired and panting, and they managed to reach the top.
Turning over this ridge, what appeared in front of everyone was a flat terrain, the top of the mountain as if it had been cut by a knife, as if it were a square built by art. The top of the hill is covered with green grass and occasional rocky trees, which is a completely different scenery from the rainforest.
A strange roar came from afar, and then at the other end of the mountain, a huge starship slowly rose, like a flying city!
Shrine!
At this moment, the last hope of humanity, the mobile fortress that kept the shelter standing, the smoke billowing and the hull of the ship could be seen with several large holes, some of which were faintly lit by fire.
The holy ground rises to about 100 meters above the flat ground of the summit, and then falls leisurely, gradually falling below the level of the summit.
It rises and falls like this, like a lonely boat in the wind and waves.
When the holy place rises again, a team of cannibals suddenly emerges from the top of the mountain. They rushed to the edge of the flat top, roaring and roaring, and a few exceptionally strong man-eaters ran wildly, then leaped to the edge and flew a hundred meters like birds to the holy ground!
The rest of the ogres threw their throwing spears and shot at the Holy Land. At this moment, the outer defensive shield of the Holy Land had disappeared, and these spears were so powerful that they were nailed to the outer walls of the Holy Land.
The shell of the holy place is densely packed, and I don't know how many throwing spears have been nailed into. There were several throwing spears with long ropes attached to them, and once they grasped the walls of the ship, some ogres climbed the ropes and climbed to the holy ground.
More ogres tugged at the ropes, looking at the stance, as if trying to pull the sacred place down from the air.
Of course, it was impossible for the starship to be pulled down by manpower like this, and sure enough, hundreds of ogres dragged the rope together, which only made the Holy Land shake slightly, and the anti-shock force carried them to the ground.
Two human warriors leaped out of the hole in the outer wall of the Holy Land, rushed to the spear with a long rope, and slashed the spear with their axes.
But at that moment, a tall ogre leaped out of another gap, roared, and threw a spear in his hand, piercing the bodies of the two warriors like meteors, nailing them to the wall of the ship!
Without waiting for Huang Quan's order, all the shelter warriors' eyes instantly turned red, and they automatically formed an attack formation, bowed their bodies, and moved quickly and silently like predatory beasts, their speed getting faster and faster, and quickly copied the back path of the group of ogres.
The rifle in Skyfire's hand opened fire first, and the high-powered bullet pierced the back of a man-eater's head with unerring accuracy, knocking half of his skull flying.
The rest of the warriors were only a little slower, and the guns rang out, and the bullets were like eyes, and they went straight to the heart of the ogre.
In a surprising situation, the Vault's elite warriors were exceptionally accurate and lethal in their marksmanship, taking down more than twenty ogres in the first round of attacks.
Before the ogres could react, the warriors had already loaded the second bullet, and another round of bombardment killed more than a dozen ogres.
The ogre warrior turned around and rushed with a roar, and the distance of tens of meters was instantaneous.
Tianhuo roared angrily, and his body like a steel bullet suddenly popped out, slamming into the middle of the ogre, and in the thud, several ogres were knocked out by him, and the most unlucky one obviously twisted his body, and the rest were not much better, and most of them couldn't get up after landing.
The formation of the ogres was scattered by the heavenly fire, and the rest of the warriors, led by Yu Jia and Luan Jie, took the opportunity to rush into the middle of the ogres, cut their team into three sections, divided and surrounded, and surrounded and killed.
Haruka and Flying Arrows are a group of themselves, Haruka is responsible for intercepting in front, and Flying Arrows are constantly shooting arrows in the rear. His arrows were so powerful that they were almost unstoppable at close range, and a man-eating ghost fell as soon as they were fired.
In this way, before Huang Quan and Sun Zhan could make a move, the cannibals in this area had already collapsed and were slaughtered in pieces, and in the blink of an eye, only twenty or thirty were still resisting.
