Chapter 746: Negotiating with Yuan Ling
This Demon Soul Descent happened about 36 hours after the [Wolf Tooth Squad] night attack on the Blueblood base, when Miao Pu had just come down from the third floor where the Heart of Thorns was located.
He had been cultivating the mother tree on the heart of thorns system for some time, and more than ten hours ago, the original cocoon had already matured and could enter the second stage at any time, and the mother tree in its primary form had officially broken out of the cocoon and grown.
As for the second phase of development, he plans to postpone it for the time being after his totalization, and the reason is naturally the problem of energy consumption.
To say that the system of [Wolf Tooth Squad], in terms of the efficiency of ability collection, is still very good, but the crux of the problem is that life energy is relatively special, it needs to be transformed or extracted from living beings, and the free life energy in the heavenly domain where it is now is very scarce, almost none, so it has not been able to hoard life energy quickly.
Speaking of the so-called farming production can only be said to be self-sufficient, there will be a good guarantee, to talk about efficiency, of course, or to promote robbery and plunder, if the efficiency of farming is high, then the bandits since ancient times do not need to be keen on robbery. It's like Miao Pu's most squandered earth-based ability right now, but it wasn't plundered? If you really want him to save a little bit, he is absolutely reluctant to use it like now, even if there is inventory, the so-called people who don't work hard to make money don't know a truth about saving, such as the so-called rich second generation, the kind of gentleman.
The ability intake efficiency tests the basic ability, which is a situation where it is difficult for Xiaoqu to sing brilliantly, and Miao Pu has no particularly good way to do this for a while, so he can only make more fuss about throttling. Considering that the Demon Soul is about to descend, there are potential consumption gaps everywhere, so a large energy guster like the Mother Tree can only postpone it.
As soon as he finished counting the inventory of various abilities, Miao Pu was pondering the subject of the indigenous as he walked, and suddenly felt something, so he raised his wrist to look at his watch.
Feng Jianguo opened a small stove for him at the beginning to get the things that are actually outdated, with Miao Pu's current technical strength and materials, he can make a rather good functional watch to play with, but he is nostalgic, I think this thing has commemorative significance has always been more cherished, and he also deliberately got a wrist wheel of spar, this watch is sealed in the wrist wheel, and now it is seen that Ali has an extraordinary personality and there is no place to buy it.
13:15.
At this time, it should be noon outside, and there is plenty of light.
However, the weather changed in an instant, as if the effect of a total solar eclipse had accelerated, and the sky quickly darkened, and soon it was darker than normal nights. The streamer that used to be as bright as a nebula turned into a pitch-black plate, covered with orange-gold light marks, like cracks in a huge stone slab, casting the light of lava.
I don't know if it was because the light was flashing too fast, or if it was something else, but before it could hit the ground, it was swallowed up by the pitch-black sky, and it looked like lightning streaked across the sky.
On the edge of the balcony of the camp and the corner of the building, the bodies of the guards who were originally sculptures glowed with a dark golden layer of streamers, and then they moved their limbs and shook their wings, as if they had been standing for a long time and moving their bodies. Between the opening and closing of their eyes, a mist of fluorescent blue light was released, and the eyes were ice blue, the same color as Miao Pu, alluding to the soul, fully proving who they were servants.
The rich ghostly energy was like the heat in a pot of boiling water, steaming upward, quickly filling the entire space, feeling this energy, the guardians of the underworld system roared or flapped their wings to express their excitement. The two statues of fighters at the door are full of golden light and solemn. For both of them, such an environment represents an intensification of the sinister.
At the same time, the entire city on earth was agitated, and all kinds of howls were like wolves howling in the moon, and the sound was grand, one after another. It was the cheers of the monsters lurking everywhere, and most of their ability attributes were inextricably linked to the dark energy, and when the dark energy was full, the energy that was bred and transformed would increase at an accelerated rate, an effect that was like a human breathing purer oxygen would stimulate the brain, which made them extremely excited.
Excessive excitement is in some ways similar to drunkenness, common sense is no longer a constraint, and the usually cautious become crazy and crazy, daring to pounce on invincible targets, without considering what price they have to pay.
Of course, for the Demon Soul Lodger, the situation is different. They are crazy in their own right, and it's not surprising that they do anything. Now this upheaval is just cooking oil for them, making them more active.
The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, the demon spirit has not yet arrived, and most of the time the above-ground city is full of silence or dead silence, and the killing carnival has begun.
No one can expect a madman to be able to discern his own kind, form an alliance, and then slaughter the other. One of the manifestations of madmen is that they will attack any target, whether it's a wall or another madman, just because they want to.
Because of the active civilization version of WIFI (brain acupuncture sharing), even if Luo Zhiqing is still being treated in the treatment cabin, she can still find out the situation outside for the first time, and from different angles, she can even experience the changes around her from the perspective of a vine branch farthest away from the campsite.
After thinking about it, Luo Zhiqing said to Miao Pu through the guò squad system: "It seems that there is a big situation about to happen, and this may require every point of combat power." ”
The treatment chamber's healing procedures are complicated, and if she wants to go into battle in time, it's time to start revising her treatment instructions. Even so, it would take about 1 hour for her to adjust to her condition.
"Hehe, it's okay, you can treat with peace of mind first, for us now, all we need to calculate is a little more or a little less." Miao Pu said very firmly.
Luo Zhiqing didn't be polite anymore, she knew Miao Pu's temperament, even if Miao Pu wanted to complete her with a complete treatment, she would not use bragging and saying cruel words to achieve her goal. Since Miao Pu said this, it means that he has considerable confidence in controlling the situation and his own combat power.
Li Xuesong and Hu Yantie had already consciously begun to make pre-war preparations.
The change in weather outside and the commotion of the monsters were quite amazing, but no one was panicked by this. Even, they are in the mood to make a few innocuous jokes while putting on their gear. This is certainly related to the calmness and calmness of the old birds, but more importantly, all the people of the [Wolf Tooth Squad] know that they have a strong backing, and they dare not say that they are invincible, but they can say very responsibly: "Unless the enemy's combat power this time is ten times stronger than the last Demon Soul Arrival, it will be a fool's dream to take the camp." ”
At the same time, Fang Zhenggang and the others were shouting and scolding.
Their bunker turret plan is halfway through construction, and the construction of the ground floor of the bunker can be said to be almost complete, but the 30-story building above has not yet had time to be renovated. Under normal circumstances, they were not afraid, after all, due to the limitations of the environment, as far as they knew, there were no monsters that could really attack the upper echelons like flying. But at the moment, the environment is abruptly changing, and the ghost energy is everywhere, which is obviously not an ordinary situation, if this is a meteorite or something, this building may not be able to carry it.
Fang Zhenggang can not care about the campsite that has taken a certain amount of time and effort to build half of the campsite, but he can't care less about the instruments and equipment stored in the building. Considering that the lower floor is under construction and for safety reasons, the equipment is stored in a high place, but now I realize how stupid this practice is, there is no elevator, more than 30 floors, how difficult it is to transport it down?
"No matter how difficult it is, you have to be lucky!" This is the meaning of Fang Zhenggang.
These instruments and equipment are not only related to whether they can hand in a decent answer sheet after the incident, but also related to their life in heaven and hell in the future, whether they eat chaff or meat. No one wants to beg for a living again and again. Although the people of the [Wolf Tooth Squad] have never shown superiority in front of them, deep down, Fang Zhenggang and they will always be a little uncomfortable when facing the [Wolf Tooth Squad], and it feels very bad, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is like a mang on his back.
However, Fang Zhenggang's order was questioned by Xie Zhongxuan and Zhuo Buqun, and the reason for the two was very simple: "If you lose people and land, you will lose both people and land." The key to a qiē is also people, and the current situation should be recuperated and ready for a big war. A few of them are either fighting or working these days, and they don't even have a decent chance to recuperate, so now they should seize a moment to recover their state, instead of thinking about those external objects. ”
"Foreign?" Fang Zhenggang's anger does not come to one place.
The truth is true, but what kind of foreign objects do foreign objects score, his companions obviously forgot, they were able to escape the siege of the blue-blooded people before because of these foreign objects, without these foreign objects, not to mention whether they will wholeheartedly serve the [Wolf Tooth Squad] as a gun in the future, that is, whether they can survive today, it is unknown. If the members are not in a good state, they need to borrow more foreign objects, if they can win by will alone, why did they get to this point?
However, Fang Zhenggang also knew that the dispute at this time was the most stupid, so he adopted a compromise method, the three of them stayed, made emergency arrangements, and then adjusted and restored to prepare for the possible big battle, while the rest of the people made a few trips to the building, at least the most important items had to be transported down.
Unlike the painful choices faced by the Light, the Blackskins don't have to think too much, they only need to think about one thing now: "How to deal with the great battle that is likely to come." ”
They have always adhered to the style of attacking instead of defending, and from a defensive point of view, their stronghold is the worst among the human team, with only some defensive arrangements that follow the trend. To put it mildly, the temporary stronghold that took half an hour to tackle casually would not be much worse than theirs.
In the past, this lack of defense was not prominent, because the Dragon Fire Chi had a large number of men and its combat ability was not bad. What now? Nearly half of the dead and wounded are gone, and even the hunters are gone, and even the plant nests that were brought over before were traded to the blue-blooded people some time ago because of poor efficiency......
To sum up, the current situation of the [Black Skins] is that the combat materials are quite abundant, but this manpower is ......
Looking at the drastic changes outside, even if the brazier not far away was overflowing with light and heat, all the [Black Skins], including the Dragon Fire Worm, had a kind of cold like being in an ice cellar, which was a fear from the heart.
The Bo faction led by Liu Xiang and the hawks led by Hu Yaowu are also preparing in a hurry at this moment.
These two human teams are the same as the [Blackskin] and the [Holy Light Armament], and after a series of thrilling fights and escapes, they were driven to this prison.
In addition to ensuring survival, they are also trying to explore and understand the world, trying to decipher its secrets, in order to harvest and leave. But they are like prisoners who have been escorted all the way to the prison with hoods, and they lack a holistic view of the mysterious space, nor can they know the essence of the operation behind it, and they have never been able to find the key point, so their actions seem aimless. So much so that now, even if the situation is slightly better than struggling to survive, the good is limited, like a sampan that has been floating into the ocean.
They themselves are very aware of this, so when they saw the drastic changes in the world today, they all realized that the stormy waves that could overturn their sampans were coming, so they were very nervous.
The people of the [Aragami Clan] are not nervous, they are still immersed in pathos at this time, and in this pathos, there is a flame of revenge that may erupt at any moment.
As the first human beings to arrive in the Heavenly Hell, observers have always been their role, and an abnormal environment like today's one is originally very valuable for observation and research, but after being blinded by love, it is obvious that there is no way to continue to study calmly. Someone came up with a way to get everyone to do their best, and that was to take the opportunity to destroy all the Black Skins.
This proposal was quickly accepted, and the [Aragami Clan] sharpened their knives and left their stronghold in such weather.
When Miao Pu cleaned up and sat on the balcony to watch the wind and scenery on the balcony, the wind was already raging between heaven and earth.
Wind is a relatively rare phenomenon in the heavenly hell.
But now there is, Miao Pu doesn't know where its source is, only that it is in the direction of due north, because the wind is from north to south, the wind is strong and powerful, rumbling, filling people's eardrums, and the two people who are close at hand have a hard time talking to hear clearly.
Fortunately, the [Wolf Tooth Squad] now communicates telepathically through the guò spiritual network, which is particularly sensitive within the coverage of the Heart of Thorns.
"This wind ......" felt the howling wind, and Miao Pu was shocked and shocked in his heart.
In fact, the most shocking thing now are Hu Yaowu and his entourage, who are about to return to the stronghold, and the members of the [Aragami Clan] who have just left the stronghold.
In myths and legends, some kind of vicious wind ecstasy is extremely terrifying, and they can be regarded as enlightened today.
If you look at it from the perspective of energy, the entire city on the ground is staging an erosion of wind and sand, and particles are constantly being stripped and taken away by the wind from all kinds of buildings, the effect is like a long-weathered sand tower dissipating in the wind, but it is relatively slow, and those particles are smaller than dust, with normal vision, even Miao Pu has outstanding eyesight, and he can't see many clues.
But in the midst of this violent wind, there is another innumerable substance that ordinary people can see, ashes.
These ashes look like snowflakes of goose feathers, but in fact they are closer to volcanic ash, and this is not ordinary volcanic ash, but volcanic ash that constantly radiates abilities. If you suck this thing into your lungs, it's like getting the legendary Five Poisons effect, waiting for your lungs to rot completely under the erosion of the mixed and disordered radiation of the abilities.
Moreover, if the wind is the invisible, rapidly rotating grinding wheel, then these ashes are the emery contained in the grinding wheel, and their friction effect is so sharp that the awakened who march outdoors see their armor dancing with their own eyes as if they were set on fire by the laser lights in the discotheque, the effect is brilliant, but the price is chilling!
Seeing that the whole world seemed to be drowning in the wind and ashes, Miao Pu was also amazed, but he was only amazed, without the slightest panic. In order to cope with similar weather upheavals and powerful monsters attacking the camp, he spent a lot of energy and time to prepare.
Now, it's time to put it to the test.
With the order, Heart of Thorns has taken all of the vines underground.
The biggest difference between today's plant alert networks and the original one is that they have root nests, just like a snail and its shell, and plants can be included in the root nest. After switching to this underground mode, the energy ingestion continues. After all, it's not the sunlight, it's the ability, and the soil also contains the ability, and the plant usually has the effect of fertilizing the soil, so that's the way it is.
The fact that the plant is stored underground does not mean that the warning net has disappeared or that it has lost control of the relevant area.
After such a long period of cultivation, the root tentacles dedicated to combat have been cultivated, and they are like spearguns buried in the ground, ready to spray tentacles and attack targets in the area. And there are dense roots in the soil, which are like sensitive pressure reactors, and even a cockroach traveling on the soil layer cannot hide their senses.
However, if the target is floating, it can only be located by the detection tentacles that are leaning out of the ground and working like sonar, and the surveillance eye on the campsite.
After putting away the plants, Miao Pu ordered to start the soil assimilation stance.
This was actually a spell-like spell that he had already mastered, and this spell-level ability application that seemed a bit weak to him because it was too expensive to use, after being adjusted by [Machine Spirit], was very effective when applied to the protection of the camp.
With the opening of the stance, a large amount of ash was like a fluff with static electricity that met the fiber cloth, quickly sticking together, with little effort, the area covered by the stance, including the open space and camp, and even those guards, were wrapped in a thick dark gray coat like the newly unearthed Pompeii ruins, and with the influence of the dark energy in the stance, the color continued to deepen, until the effect of the spell ended, it had turned into the color of iron gray. The tentacles have been bred, and they are like spearguns buried in the ground, ready to shoot tentacles to attack targets in the area. And there are dense roots in the soil, which are like sensitive pressure reactors, and even a cockroach traveling on the soil layer cannot hide their senses.
However, if the target is floating, it can only be located by the detection tentacles that are leaning out of the ground and working like sonar, and the surveillance eye on the campsite.
