Chapter 44: Portrait in the Tree

Thick clouds of lead coalesced into funnel-shaped swirls over the sky.

Pitch-black electric snakes appeared in it and swam away.

The thunder was deafening.

The dreary atmosphere seemed to condense into substance, and the people who were pressed could not breathe.

This apocalyptic scene looms over an endless barren plain, and in the middle of the plain, a gray-and-white castle in the Gothic style is sealed like a prison by towering black walls on all sides.

Click!

A thick bolt of black lightning suddenly exploded in the sky.

One end was connected to a whirlpool, and the other end was connected to a metal cross on the top of the castle, and lightning burst into countless tiny thunder snakes, which densely surrounded the cross, and the carved human face showed a painful expression.

"Damn!"

Zhang Yao shrunk his neck in shock by the thunder, cursed a few words in a low voice, and then his eyebrows danced, "This equipment is too cool!" ”

He put the heavy enchanted armor on his body, hung a pendant like a drop of blood, and as soon as his head was raised, a Milanese-style dome helmet fell automatically, and the blindfold closed, immediately wrapping his head tightly.

Bang.

Bang.

Such an outfit has long been overwhelmed by ordinary people to wear, but Zhang Yao can still move freely, and even play with ease.

"I feel like I'm ...... now It's so strong! ”

He muttered excitedly.

His class talent gives him additional defense based on health, and this armor gives him more than just 80 defense.

It's a full 100 points.

Right now

His defensive attributes are already not much different from those of a level 10 elite monster!

Zhang Yao's confidence surged, and he stepped out of the grass where he was hiding, and came to the only gate on the edge of the city wall, and through the thick black iron railing like a prison, he could see the dark monsters gathered outside the castle.

There are rats the size of calves, vicious dogs with bare tendons, spiders with human faces, and a one-eyed monster as huge as a hill......

It's like a group of demons dancing.

Whoosh!

As soon as he appeared, behind the monster tide, a group of pale skeleton archers shot arrows at him.

While!

While!

-13!

-16!

……

Zhang Yao had the heart to test his defense, resisted several attacks, and found that these monsters who could have concentrated fire to kill him in seconds could only barely break through the defense, and immediately made up his mind, and pushed open the door after taking a lead pellet in his mouth.

"Grandpa is back!"

"Roar!"

He was greeted only by the countless roars of monsters.

The monsters surrounding the castle are a bit different, unlike the monsters faced by other survivors, they do not actively attack the walls, but they are strongly hostile to all creatures that appear within the walls.

The moment Zhang Yao rushed out, the monster surrounded him.

Click!

He bit the lead pellet hard, and a stream of lead-gray liquid suddenly flowed out of it, and he swallowed it into his stomach.

Zhang Yao's momentum began to become unstable and full of tyranny.

"Whew!"

He let out an inhuman wolf howl, and his eyes were bloodshot.

This beast pill is good at all.

When used, it increases attack, defense, and speed for a short period of time.

Boost your board of up across the

There are no debilitating side effects yet.

But it will continue to erode people's sanity.

And it's permanent.

This was the fifth beast pill Zhang Yao had taken so far, and he was no longer able to suppress the beast resuscitation in his body as he had done at the beginning.

He felt like he was pilling too.

But in the face of the current situation, he had to use it.

"Come over to you!"

Zhang Yao still retained some sanity at this time, and after rushing out of the iron gate, he quickly rushed to the side.

This is a pattern he has figured out on his own.

Zhang Yao found that as long as he didn't show up, these monsters wouldn't take the initiative to attack the building.

And even after he appeared,

Monsters also spread to the city walls because of attacking him.

If he could take advantage of this rule, he might be able to defend without injury, but unfortunately he hasn't succeeded so far.

However, he has also learned some lessons.

After the battle, as long as the monster's attack is pulled in the opposite direction of the city wall to avoid the city wall being attacked, the higher the evaluation can be.

By this approach.

He's already got two A grades.

The runes on the battle armor loomed, and the cyan glimmer of light surrounded Zhang Yao's body like a light wind, making him walk like a fly.

Zheng!

The sword slammed out of its sheath.

Zhang Yao's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness that was contrary to his temperament, he raised his long sword high, blood rose from his arm, and quickly spread to the sword body, slashing down violently, and the sharp blade cut off the head of a mouse with just one blow.

Blood splattered on his mask.

Zhang Yao didn't care.

The biggest difference between him and other survivors is that in just one day, he has been tempered by the system with a strong sense of battle.

The moment he killed the mouse, he suddenly turned around and stomped on the ground with the soles of his feet, and saw a red light burst under his feet, and the ground shook violently, and a muscular dog that had broken through behind him was immediately shaken away.

Savage Stampede!

-162!

Also affected were the monsters that surrounded him within five meters of him.

A group attack shook off all the blood of seven or eight monsters, Zhang Yao took the opportunity to rush out of the monster encirclement, led the army of monsters chasing behind him, and ran around a blackened ancient tree outside the castle.

Laugh at!

He raised his hand, and a white candle lit above his head.

But he found out of nowhere a lampshade full of oil stains, fixed on top of his helmet, and placed a candle in it.

After lighting.

It's like a miner's hat.

"You're really so stupid that you're going to with you brutes?!"

A sinister smile rose on Zhang Yao's face.

Subsequently.

He reached out and patted the thick trunk behind him.

"Old sister, help!"

He shouted.

Bang bang!

With his tapping, something strange happened, and there was a dull slapping sound from inside the trunk, as if someone inside was responding to him, and immediately, the entire dead black ancient tree began to undergo terrifying changes.

The rough bark was the first to peel off, revealing the densely stacked corpses that made up the trunk, stitched limbs that twisted and stretched out into a dense crown of branches.

And in the center of this tree trunk, the corpse is strangely twisted into a "tree hole", and a black and white portrait is placed in the tree hole.

The woman in the portrait is smiling at the moment.

"Old sister, you're still smiling like that...... So unique. ”

Zhang Yao slowly retreated with a chill down his spine.

However.

He didn't dare to go too far from this corpse tree.

Surrounded by monsters.

As soon as he gets out, he will be torn apart by monsters.

But if it's too close to the tree.

Zhang Yao couldn't guarantee that the candle alone would protect him.

He's gambling.

"Roar!"

In the end, the monsters that surrounded him were the first to hold back, and the two muscular dogs rushed up one left and one right.

But I haven't come closer.

Suddenly.

The ancient tree's two slender arms hung down and thrust easily and accurately into their backs, grabbing them slowly to the wailing of muscular dogs.

"Good chance Xiao Yao!"

Zhang Yao's eyes lit up, he rushed out, and with a swing of his long sword, he quickly harvested the lives of the two muscular dogs, and then their corpses were caught in the air by the ancient tree, and in the blink of an eye, they were torn to pieces by countless arms.

Blood rains down.

Add a layer of horror to this strange corpse tree.
