Volume 1: The Endless Wilderness Chapter 58: Blood Sacrifice
The safety in Qingqing's mouth is only compared to the two routes of An Dili and Murong Feiyu.
In fact, the entire periphery southern line carries an extremely high level of risk.
If you are not careful, even a top powerhouse like Qingqing is at risk of falling here.
Although Su Chen has completed the promotion, he has two blessings with lucky attributes.
But he is still a small shrimp after all, and the risk of dying here is extremely high.
The convoy was moving very slowly.
The lights of all the vehicles were turned off, and the strange beasts that kept approaching the southern line in the dark were felt.
On the periphery of the southern line of Yima Pingchuan, there are no less than 10,000 armies of alien beasts.
Although there are many alien beasts, they are not a complete legion.
These beasts are scattered around, and they are not difficult to deal with until they merge.
Qingqing divided the team into three groups, wanting to cut the army of alien beasts into three parts as quickly as possible.
Prevent them from converging to form a massive exotic tide.
If it weren't for the fact that there were only three top powerhouses, there would definitely be more groups this time.
"What are these strange beasts from the Southern Front doing here?"
The land on the outskirts of the southern route is very desolate, and most of the beasts cannot find food here, except for the alien beasts that eat soil and wild grass.
They could not find food here, nor could they attack the City of Dawn out of sight.
Su Chen didn't know what the purpose of their gathering here was.
"There are only two possibilities, a substitute or a blood sacrifice."
There is still some distance from the southern route at the moment, and Qingqing has time to chat with him.
"Can you tell me more about it?"
Su Chen has not experienced much, and his status in the wilderness is not high.
Even the superficial part of the information about the alien beast is only half-understood.
"The substitute refers to the cannon fodder attacking the Dawning City, and there are more than 10,000 of them on the east, west, south, and north lines, and less than 20,000 alien beast armies."
"They are currently uncontrolled, but their range of motion is limited by high-level alien beasts."
"Once the regular Alien Beast Legion launches an attack on the Dawning City, they will be drawn to the front line and become cannon fodder at the forefront."
"At present, the alien beasts on the southern front have not yet converged, and they should not be substitutes."
"That's the Blood Sacrifice?"
Su Chen suddenly interjected.
"Eight or nine is not far from ten."
Qingqing paused for a moment and continued to explain.
"If the alien beasts of the southern front are used for blood sacrifices, then it will be even more dangerous here."
"The large-scale blood sacrifice of more than 10,000 alien beasts is some kind of ancient ritual of alien beasts."
"Its purpose is to create or summon ancient beasts that surpass the top beasts."
"You mean, there is a high probability that there are top-notch alien beasts on the outskirts of the southern route, and there are quite a few of them?"
The top alien beasts and the top human powerhouses are both in the seventh realm.
The higher the realm, the more the human powerhouse will suffer in the face of the same level of alien beasts.
"If this place is really transformed into a blood sacrifice altar, there will definitely be top-notch beasts, and there will be no fewer of them."
"That team is divided into three, isn't it sent to death?"
"If this is really the blood sacrifice altar of the alien beast, it is indeed a death."
"But... Once we are sure that this is the Beast's Blood Sacrifice Altar, we can fire an emergency flare gun, and then we can choose to retreat or flee. ”
"You mean, once it's determined that this is the Blood Sacrifice Altar of the Alien Beast, after firing the flare gun, this cleanup mission will be completed?"
"That's right, the lookouts of the City of Dawn are always keeping an eye on the periphery, and once the emergency flare gun is fired, this place will be taken over by the people of the City of Dawn."
"The emergency flare gun can't be used indiscriminately, if it is not confirmed that this is the blood sacrifice altar of the alien beast, the third fortress of Tianzi will be destroyed."
Qingqing explained his words very clearly.
Su Chen, who understood all this, was already able to guess the ending.
In his luck, most of the beast blood sacrifice altars here didn't run.
For the sake of safety, Su Chen found a reason to get out of the car and use the illusion in a place where no one was around.
is the same as explained by the system, Su Chen, who has been transformed into a shape, is exactly the same as him in terms of appearance, breath, or expression.
The illusionary Su Chen was named Shadow by him.
The shadow didn't think on his own, he only obeyed Su Chen's orders.
Before Su Chen gave the order, it would always stand in place stupidly, retaining only the most basic self-defense function.
The first order Su Chen gave him was to run back, to the entrance of the mountains, and wait for his orders.
The illusion is very useful, but it's a pity that he can't share his five senses.
Otherwise, Su Chen could use his body to do something that was not afraid of death.
With phantoms and phantoms, Su Chen has one more way to retreat.
The only pity is.
Each time he uses it, he risks revealing his identity and may need to change his identity again.
As for the high energy consumption, Su Chen could afford this price.
With a shadow as the back road, Su Chen felt a lot more relieved when he returned to the car.
"I thought you were going to escape, if you do, I won't blame you, dying here with your talent would be a great loss for humanity."
Qingqing's words were concise and clear, indicating that Su Chen could now break away from the team and retreat, and would not treat him as a deserter.
"I agree."
The breeze on the side raised his hands in agreement.
The meaning of his survival is for Su Chen's safety.
"I have a way out."
Qingqing had long been suspicious of him, so Su Chen didn't hide it.
Sudden Sudden Burst...
Dense bullet chambers suddenly sounded.
Qingqing frowned slightly and looked in the direction of Antili's convoy.
Although Antili's route is the most dangerous, it should not be revealed so quickly.
Qingqing didn't have time to think about it, and ordered the team to get out of the car and prepare for battle through the walkie-talkie.
Now that his whereabouts have been exposed, he can only start to eradicate the strange beasts from here.
The human armies of the three routes disembarked one after another, and the dense firepower covered the nets adding a few more colors to the pitch-black wilderness.
The reacting beasts quickly formed several torrents.
Rushing towards the human army, trying to extinguish the spark.
The muzzle of the AK gun in Su Chen's hand was glowing faintly, and strange beasts continued to die tragically under his muzzle.
The sharpshooter is not specifically a sniper rifle, and all guns can be used to shoot every shot.
None of these uncontrolled beasts have been hungry for many days.
They see humans as no longer enemies, but delicious food.
The beast's instinctive thirst for food makes them not afraid of death and makes them completely insane.
"It's a crazy world."
Seeing the strange beasts forming torrents in all directions, Su Chen couldn't help but sigh.
"Dig guys."
As there were more and more strange beasts around, the originally scattered crowd began to converge back to back.
Hearing Qingqing's order, all the fighters carrying the shattering grenade consciously took a step forward.
Pull the ring, throw.
Rumble!!!
The vast wilderness lit up with fires.
The deafening sound of explosions and residual heat lit the soldiers' faces red.
The outermost warriors of the crowd were affected by the aftermath of the explosion, and their bodies flew backwards uncontrollably.
A little farther away, dozens of uneven deep pits appeared on the ground.
The pit was filled with stumps and scarlet blood seeping into the soil.
After the explosion, the entire wilderness fell into a brief dead silence.
The tide of death-defying beasts was kept out of the pit.
Their gaze is full of fear.
If it weren't for hunger, they would have fled in all directions, away from this place of right and wrong.
The buzzing sound in Su Chen's ears gradually disappeared.
He looked at the army of alien beasts behind the firelight.
This group of exotic beasts comes from all over the world, with different varieties and different realms.
Perhaps they had been hungry for too long, and their already ugly faces now looked a little terrifying.
Under the light of the fire, Su Chen saw fear and greed in their eyes.
Su Chen's eyes were slightly condensed, he believed that greed would soon triumph over reason and fear.
The beasts would pounce on them like locusts.
Rumble!!!
It was again dozens of explosions in a short period of time.
The flames rose into the sky, and on the wilderness about a mile away from Su Chen, Antili's face was extremely ugly.
Through the light of the fire, it was possible to see that he had been slightly injured.
It looks like it's the most dangerous over there.
Rumble!!!
The explosion sounded again, and the Murong Feiyu team in the distance couldn't withstand the tide of alien beasts, so they had to use a shattering grenade to bombard.
Three waves exploded, and the sanity of this group of strange beasts temporarily suppressed the instinct to hunt for food.
The human army and the torrent of alien beasts confronted each other through the flickering firelight.
The wind is blowing harder and stronger.
At some point, the moon hanging high in the sky disappeared, and the clouds gathered more and more, and even the air began to become dull.
Su Chen reached out and touched his face, the coldness of the rain still remained on the surface of his skin.
This is the first autumn rain he has traveled to another world.
The flickering fire was quickly extinguished by the rain.
Without this barrier, the human army and the alien beast army clashed again.
The scene is becoming more and more chaotic.
"Second wave."
After only holding out for half a minute, Qingqing once again ordered the team to launch a grenade bombardment.
There was a lesson from the last blood, and when the alien beast saw the human take out a broken grenade, its first thought was to flee backwards.
It's a pity that the black beasts behind them don't know the situation ahead, and are still squeezing forward, not giving them a chance to escape backwards.
Explosions and fires occurred at the same time.
This time, the human thrower threw the shattering grenade even further.
The aftermath of the explosion did not affect the human warriors in the front row.
Similarly, the alien beasts closest to humans were not affected by the explosion.
The group of strange beasts was frightened by the explosion, and they had a chance to rush into the crowd, but they remained motionless in place.
The tide of alien beasts stopped advancing again.
The eyes of all the beasts were on the flames of the explosion.
Looking at the horrific corpses of the same kind, some of the alien beasts retreated.
They don't know how many broken grenades humans still have.
The beast that rushed to the front, wanting to take a big bite of the food, wanted to be at the back of the line now.
Even if there is only a mouthful of residue left at the end, they are willing.
Hunger is a trivial matter compared to confronting death.
Woo~
In the distance, in the dark lands, a wolf howl drowned out the cacophony of gunfire and the roar of alien beasts, resounding in the ears of all living beings.
Qingqing's face was frightened, and his trembling right hand touched his waist without hesitation.
Sou..
Syllable!
As the piercing voice sounded, a red light that could not be described in words soon lit up above Su Chen's head.
"Use them all."
Qingqing's voice was heavy, he was reminding An Dili and Murong Feiyu to use emergency flares together.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the red light over Su Chen only lasted for three seconds before disappearing without a trace.
Seeing Qing Qing's frightened appearance, there is no doubt that this is the Alien Beast Blood Sacrifice Altar.
Murong Feiyu and An Dili glanced at each other and nodded at the same time.
Heavy rain can affect the brightness of flares and how long they last.
Qingqing's signal flare was released early, so it should be waited for the two of them to be released together.
