Chapter 223: Ghost Mother

Hering looked at the blue sea of fire beyond the city walls, and the roar of the alien species was like the cry of a wild ghost, which was terrifying. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

As soon as the mutants passed through the walls, the Styx fire burned all over their bodies, and they smashed the walls in a frenzied rage, even though they were much reinforced, there was still a violent shaking, and pieces of rubble collapsed.

Fortunately, the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, and the city wall did not collapse completely, but there were only a few more cracks.

Lotus tucked her long golden hair behind her shoulders, and with a slow wave of her hands, the Elemental Apostle appeared from the void, and then a large amount of ice stabbed towards the enemy like a rain of arrows, only to hear the sound of popping, and a sea of blood under the field.

The strength of these advance xenos did not seem to be as terrifying as they imagined, and although each of them seemed to be extremely strong and fanged, they still couldn't resist the attacks of Lian and Heling.

After a while, a number of huge corpses were piled up into small hills, which became an obstacle to the xenomorphs in the rear.

Looking at the corpses under the city, Heling breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the current form, the beast tide could not break through the city wall in a short time, and the ghost mother and the ironclad barbarian king had no intention of stepping forward to attack.

They didn't seem to be in a hurry, and a steady stream of xenos came forward behind them, each one huge, some shaped like oxen, some like giants, but under the onslaught of cannonballs and abilities, the walls stood tall in the midst of the crisis.

The flames of war are raging, the blood is stained with the desert, and the corpses are full of bones.

"They don't seem to be able to break through our defenses...."Herring was exhausted at this time, and slowly stopped the release of the fire of the Styx, the gamma energy in his body had already been exhausted, and his body was weak, and he sat down on the ground.

Yelena's condition is not optimistic, although she is not injured, but the excessive overdraft releases the ice element, which puts a considerable load on the body.

"The two of us...... I'm out of energy, what's next? Lian said tremblingly.

"The Breaker should be able to hold out...... Now that the carcasses of the giant beasts constitute a natural obstacle, they are not easy to enter, and the traps are also filled, it is impossible to launch a large-scale attack, we have a good rest and let them hold on. ”

Herring gasped and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

......

Unconsciously, the army of alien beasts that attacked seemed to have decreased a lot, fighting from early morning until dawn, from noon to evening, and there were fewer and fewer alien species rushing over, but it was still continuous and did not stop.

"It looks like the beast has been contained." The group leaned against the campfire, munching on roasted animal meat, and the two most important things in the defense war were to survive and recuperate.

There were at least a thousand corpses under the city, and they began to decompose, emitting a thick stench.

Nearly 500 rounds of tank shells were fired alone, and the chamber of the cannon was still hot and blackened.

"Whoosh." A gust of wind blew, and Hering subconsciously looked up to see that the members of the Atlanta squad from before had returned.

"Chief Baisha, Lord Hering, the enemy's information has been clarified." He gave a military salute.

He Ling remembered him, Liu Peng, his ability seemed to be stealth, and he was not enough to have this talent to detect the enemy, and he was really an invincible existence.

"Oh, you're the warrior who left stealthily before?" Herring motioned for him to sit down and eat together.

"Report to my lord, my ability is speed, extreme speed." He sat down and smoothed his hair with his hand, and the flowing strands of hair seemed to be blown by the wind, giving people a smooth feeling.

"I see...... He Ling was slightly surprised in his heart, no wonder this guy would disappear in an instant, and also take away a gust of wind, it seems that the speed is too fast to cause the effect of disappearing in an instant.

However, extreme speed is still a very rare talent.

Although this kind of talent is not very strong in terms of strength increase, speed has always played a very important role in any war and battle.

Finding out intelligence, surveying the enemy, and even rescuing important people can only be done with extreme speed.

Moreover, there are no casualties among those who have this kind of talent.

As if observing Heling's shock, Liu Peng smiled mildly and withdrew his helmet, "Speed type overrunners are relatively rare, and there are only five people who have been recorded, and I am one of them." ”

"It's amazing." Herring smiled, "You've already figured out the enemy's situation?" ”

"En," Liu Peng's smile disappeared instantly, and his expression was instantly replaced by seriousness, "The scale of the beast tide is very large, but it is not an invincible existence, they have migrated along the way, and many have died, and less than seventy percent are left now." In other words, their strength is far less than before. ”

"That's good news." Herring screamed at the meat in his mouth, and fat came out of his mouth.

"But they didn't wander aimlessly, the final destination is here, that's exactly what you guessed, but they have a reason."

"What is the reason?" Hering frowned and asked hurriedly.

"I surmise from the migration trajectory that the alien beasts did not act on their own initiative, they seem to be forced, because the ground is full of the remains of the alien beasts fighting." Liu Peng said slowly.

"The Ghost Mother and the Iron Armored Barbarian King?" Herring wondered.

"Exactly." Liu Peng nodded.

Herring glanced at him and motioned for him to continue.

"I didn't come back until the evening to get a better picture, and I didn't get anything until then, but when the curtain fell, it all came ......to light."

"Go on." Herring commanded.

"The ghost mother's body suddenly began to molt, and then an inexplicable red light suddenly shone from the flesh!" Liu Peng's expression was a little excited, obviously frightened by the sight. "That red light is like magma eroding skin, it's terrifying!"

He Ling looked back and took a deep look, due to the existence of the Eye of the Apocalypse, his eyesight was beyond ordinary people, and sure enough, in the distance several kilometers away, a red light loomed, extremely weird, like a monster everywhere.

"But what does the red light have to do with the Holy City?" Herring hesitated.

"There is a holy relic in the holy city, which has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is the foundation of Cairo, and it is estimated that the ghost mother came for it." Liu Peng didn't say anything more, but Calliste spoke.

Her brows were furrowed, and her face was full of tangled colors, "I see, no wonder it's like this......"

"I think this Liu Peng may have heard of that myth, so he understands the reason why the ghost mother led the beast tide to attack the holy city." She looked at Liu Peng, who nodded.

"That's right, the myth of the Holy City, I have heard a little, the legend is that there is a dungeon under Cairo, according to legend, in ancient times, after the rule of the giants was overturned, they built a huge dungeon under Cairo in order to survive, and disappeared, of course, there was no Cairo City at that time, and then the soil in this area of Cairo was fertile, and human beings established a city here."

"Of course, these are all legends, not necessarily true, but I think myths, although exaggerated, are not groundless. And ...... in the giant city" Liu Peng fell silent halfway through his words.

Callist sighed, looked at Herring, and then said slowly: "Although the truth of the myth cannot be verified, the giant and the underground giant city are real, and according to legend, the giant has an artifact that can deflect any injury, and can also test strength. ”

"This is the most precious artifact of the giants, but as time passes, the artifact has corrupted, and it has long lost the ability to take damage, so it can only be a simple test of the strength of the giants."

"But legend has it that if you eat the dregs of the artifact, you can heal the pain, but no one has ever tried it." After Calliste finished speaking, he just looked at Herring faintly.

"You mean, that red light means that the ghost mother is seriously injured, and she wants to heal, so that's why she went to great lengths to do this?" Herring wasn't confused, and although Calliste was vague, he could guess a rough idea.

While everyone else was shocked by the legend of Giant City, Herring had already understood it all.

He knew what the artifact was, the stone pillar he had smashed that day, but instead of being angry at him for destroying the stone pillar, the giants were terrified.

"Is that thing really that amazing?" Hering frowned and thought about it, but he knew that the ghost mother's wishful thinking had failed this time.
