Chapter 231: Giant Palm
In extreme panic, the survivors on the bronze rampartum set up all the bow beds they could find, aiming them at the huge palm prints above. The iron arrows refracted an icy glow beneath the cloudy sky, like the moonlight of the Grim Reaper.
"Shoot!"
As soon as the herald gave the order, hundreds of bows and arrows burst out of the air and shot straight at the slowly falling giant palm.
Everyone looked up in horror and looked at the giant hand that came from nowhere. The bronze barrier they were in front of them had turned into a floating island, and the people on the island had no way out. If even these powerful crossbows could not stop the fall of the giant palm. The only thing that endures them is the fate of death.
The air was filled with the smell of fear and urine.
Lu Lie, who was witnessing this scene nearby, recalled in his mind what the patriarch had said before he died.
"The Bronze Barrier is the last barrier of the Tree Nation, but it can also become the grave of the Tree Nation!" ......
"The bronze ramparts are built entirely from the words left by the gods, and they are not the technology that we humans should have......
"The ancestors warned us that we could only hide in the bronze barrier three times. And in the history of the Tree Country, we have taken refuge in the Bronze Barrier three times"......
Sure enough, the curse that the patriarch had uttered before he disappeared had already begun to work. The seemingly impregnable bronze barrier is suffering the greatest catastrophe in history.
The rain of flying arrows sank into the giant's palm, and the speed at which the overwhelming palm descended slowly began to slow down, gradually falling into the air. More arrows rained down into the palms of the Yellow Springs giants. The thick skin was cut open, and a trickle of dark red blood flowed down.
"Cheng ...... It worked!?"
Long after the giant's palm stopped in mid-air, the survivors on the bronze barrier raised their heads in disbelief before they could wait for the blow of the catastrophe. It took a long time for them to be convinced that the giant palm really stayed in mid-air like this, and no longer fell.
People's faces turned pale, and many people fell to the ground with weak legs. It's hard to believe that they actually stopped the whereabouts of this giant palm.
In the crowd, someone laughed lowly.
"Ha, ha, ha......"
"Hahaha......"
"Haha, haha, ahahahaha......"
The laughter grew louder and louder, and the number of people laughed more and more, and gradually became one. Eventually, the laughter reached the other side of the sky and resounded throughout the sky.
"This idiot's palm, when he came out, the momentum was so huge, it turned out to be nothing more than that......"
"I should have something powerful, scare Lao Tzu, really. Didn't you get shot to death by our bronze ramparts?"
"Come down, you keep sinking. Wasn't you very good before?"
"Damn, why didn't you find this big guy sooner and stop it from falling sooner. Otherwise, half of our walls would not have been destroyed. ”
In the gossip of the people, Lu Lie saw that they had completely relaxed their mentality, thinking that they had completely escaped from danger and had completely defeated this "giant palm".
They don't even know where this "giant palm" that fell from the sky came from. They even thought that the "giant palm" was a separate creature.
"Let's go. The cannibal patted Lu Lie on the shoulder again, signaling him not to look at it, "There is a saying that good words are hard to persuade damned ghosts. You can't save these people, they are destined to die here today. ”
Lu Lie nodded, and continued to climb towards the path of the giant tree leading to the sky with the cannibal. While the Yellow Springs Giants were still focusing all their attention on the Bronze Barrier, it was better for them to get out of here as soon as possible. Otherwise, after killing these people, the Yellow Spring Giant might not be able to continue to do something.
Lu Lie knew that these people who stayed below and on the bronze barrier were already dead.
For he saw the shadow of the skeleton above the sun, and the arc of the jaw cracking was getting bigger and bigger, like a human being putting on a maniacian laughing face.
Lu Lie suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he lay on the ground, built a thick fortress with tree branches, and starved the caterpillars trapped in it to death, or poured the hot fire into the ant nest, and saw the countless black spots inside crawl out in panic.
......
The huge palm remained in the air, motionless, and the palm of the hand was covered with dense long arrows. It's as if he was really shot by the arrow feather before.
"Group, group, leader...... What do we do now?"
The rest of the men in the bronze ramparts turned to a tall man and looked at him with inquiring eyes.
After half of the shell was shattered by the giant palm, the entire Bronze Barrier was now in a terrible state - all the pilots were killed in the mechanical room in that palm, and the control room was also in a semi-malfunctioning state. Even more dangerous, the plane of the rampart is slowly tilting backwards and downwards at a speed visible to the naked eye. Apparently, it is losing its ability to levitate in the air and sliding into the abyss of the crash.
The tall man scanned half of the ruined barriers, and said quickly and clearly: "Don't panic! Gather all the survivors at once, send fifty people in Zones A and C to extinguish the fire first, and twenty people in Sector D to check the condition of the damaged cabin and try to restart the energy meter...... Also, move all the heavy objects that can be found on the ship to the other side, and try to maintain the current balance on both sides of the bronze barrier......"
The calm and powerful words of this highest-ranking man after the death of Elder Tang Yan and Xu Wuyan quickly restored order to the people who were about to collapse. It's just that the people on the bronze barrier haven't moved yet, and another even more unexpected thing happened-
A drop of blood dripped from the giant's palm, and even if it was just a drop of blood for a giant, it was a terrible mass of sulfuric acid for a mortal.
The cloud of sulfuric acid fell from the sky and landed on the tall man's face in a slow-motion rhythm. The tall man's methodical command came to an abrupt end.
Before he could even let out a scream, his whole body was instantly swallowed by the thick drop of blood. First his head fell into the thick of blood, like a fish thrown ashore, and the tall man's eyes widened desperately in the thick of blood, not knowing what was happening, but in vain he grew his mouth to breathe.
But soon he didn't have to endure such pain, because his lips and palate began to melt at a visible rate, like a fermented tart. The skin on his face slowly rolled upwards and turned into ashes and disappeared into the thick of blood. Immediately afterward, the delicate blood vessels and various diaphragms exposed under the skin also decayed rapidly, even faster than the layer of skin he wrapped outside.
In the blink of an eye, the man who was calm and calmly pointing at the country one moment ago was left with a skeletal head standing on his neck in the next second.
The ball of blood dripping from the giant's palm took on life of its own at that moment, and slowly crawled down his upper body in a twisted and strange posture, eroding and passing through his whole body.
The man's body was still standing, but only a skeleton remained.
Soon, the color of the skeleton also turned black, and finally it collapsed to the ground with a thud, melting into a puddle of slag.
Everyone watched the scene in silence, and there was a dead silence. No one responded, screaming, crying, fainting, or rushing forward to try to save him.
This sudden change made them can't believe that this is the reality. If this is a nightmare, it must be the most ridiculous, ridiculous nightmare.
Everyone was in utter shock.
Fear was like an invisible giant hand that held everyone present, making them almost unable to breathe, even forgetting that they were still alive.
An unusually rampant laugh resounded throughout the earth.
Laughing, the skeletal shadow that enveloped half of the world of giant trees, was laughing wildly above the sky.
