Chapter 288: Revenge and Mother Tree No. 6
In the airspace more than 1,000 kilometers north of the northern mountains and 30,000 meters above the ground, there are four blood-red rays of light that flash away;
In front of these red lights were two creatures that were very different from the painting style of the world outside the Black Forest, and they were now moving towards the north tide at more than ten times the speed of sound.
Everywhere it passed, the atmosphere shattered like fragile glass, and erupted with a thunderous roar.
However, these sounds have no connection with the two creatures that initiated, because they have long since gone out of nowhere.
This is not the others, but the two fifth-order witch doctors, Nesta and Azhara.....
Under the influence of the cultivation paths that were completely different from those of the other higher beings or civilized races in this world, the combination of magic, physical structure of the physical body, totem machinery, and other factors in their bodies made the two elves show such extraordinary speed at this moment.
And in the large-scale observation that has been carried out for decades, the Republic has discovered that unless there is some other unknown way of movement in the outside world, the speed displayed by the two witch doctors at this time is the limit of this world, at least on the surface now.
But there is actually another disadvantage of such a high-speed flight, that is, most of today's perception methods can no longer keep up with their own speed;
Therefore, the scope of the two elves' exploration is currently limited to visual distance.
Fortunately, they have an unobstructed view of the airspace, and a series of enhanced totems such as 'ultra-long-distance vision', 'obstacle vision', and 'wide-angle vision' added to the fake brain give them more powerful vision, so that they will not become perceptually blind at the moment.
'Why do you have to take this path?' ’
During the flight, Aishara questioned using the small fraction of the cells they had exchanged with each other.
'I'd like to see if I can draw out the high-level monster from last time, the one that attacked our airship. ’
Then why not just go to its lair? The lady asked suspiciously, she did think that her partner had some special considerations that she didn't expect, but who knows.....
'Uh.... I didn't think much about it, so I walked away like this inexplicably, probably because I wanted to capture the intended target as planned, but I also hoped to lure that guy out to complete revenge, so....'
'Stupid..... Well, it seems like you don't have to dwell on it anymore. ’
Well, I saw that too. ’
As he spoke, the creatures that were indistinguishable from those in the stalls were rapidly approaching, and their bodies were undoubtedly the 'targets of revenge', and the 'seeing' and approaching were only momentary......
It was a feathered creature that resembled a pterosaur but somewhat resembled a bird, with a torso length of more than 100 meters, a wingspan of more than 200 meters, a tough beak several meters long, and sharp claws more than ten meters long.
Although its speed is not as good as the two elves at this moment, the speed of more than 1,000 kilometers per hour has roughly reached three or four times the speed of sound, which is also a rare top in this world.
Nesta was actually looking forward to its arrival, but she did have a little trepidation in her heart;
After all, the experience of facing high-level demonic beasts several times in the past was not easy, and these guys who seemed to exceed the limits of biological cognition could make him a little jealous out of habit.
'No, I can be a monster who has exceeded my limits now, and I don't have anything to worry about.....
While thinking so, he slowed down early, so as not to miss the encounter, because the contrast between the two sides in this aspect was already different offensive and defensive, and if he still maintained his previous state to fly, this battle would hardly be fought.
It is worth mentioning that Nesta and Eshara are extremely biased and fragile at this time;
Most of the increase that can be provided by the mimic body of this body type is concentrated in terms of speed, and the structure of the body that must be strengthened in order to ensure speed, and the strength of materials in specific areas;
At the same time, the attack side was almost completely abandoned, and the defense section was retained only for flight-related parts.
Therefore, before the battle, they must change their body structure and enhancement bias upwards, and to some extent the totem position that is linked to their size and energy supply, so that there is a fixed amount of totem slots, and the increase they can provide, are greatly converted into combat-related effects.
Therefore, in the current encounter, Nesta and her partner's first instinct is not to use their speed to face them head-on, but to turn to 'leave' with a speed that will not completely shake them off after a limited provocation.
And just as they expected, the giant bird really followed, and the two fifth-order witch doctors also began to use the data of the 'memory' in their visualization body to start a rapid transformation of the battle form.....
'Hypersonic engines' were downgraded to 'supersonic engines' and gradually moved to areas out of the way;
The wings become periosteal structures and are half-tucked on the sides of the back for adjustment when agile steering is required.
The part that was originally 'mounted' with the engine has a long tail with a bladed hammer at the end, which is now swaying behind the body;
In addition, the legs extend from both sides of the belly, and six 'arms' extend from the sides of the body;
Among them, the thighs are strong and forward, the calves are strong and bent back, the knees are also pushed out of sharp and tough bone spurs, and the bottom is a hard skin wrapped bone with long claws like sharp blades;
At the arm, the top and bottom pairs are not so much arms as large stabbing blades, only the middle pair still maintains the normal form of grasping, flexing and extending, but the front end also has a retractable claw structure;
At the same time, the neck has become thicker and slightly longer, and the head has not deliberately formed an elven form, but has become a sharp toothed and giant snout like a dragon-like creature in the previous life, and has grown sharp horns on the forehead;
On the surface of the body, patches of crystal clear scales stand out, and inside is a semi-dermal structure of green and purple, which is used to maintain the energy supply of the body's cells and mimic body in the sun.
After completing this series of transformations, the two elves' bodies have changed from 'flying machines' to 'air combat forms' designed by Nesta......
Among them, Nesta is a close combat, and Eshara is a remote battle, both of which have a large tail of 110 meters long, 110 meters high from the soles of the feet to the top of the head, and the width of the front of the body is 40 meters, the thickness of the side is more than 35 meters, 70% of the structure of the body is imitation, 30% is mechanical, and the hideous posture also has a feeling of 'upright half-dragon';
In short, this 'dragon creature', which does not seem to exist in this world, appears in another posture and very naturally at this moment under the idea provided by Nesta.
At the moment, their speed had dropped to about four times the speed of sound, but they were still a line faster than the giant bird, so the two elves stopped circling in the air, turned around abruptly, and then met the enemy who was chasing after them one by one.
After all, this was the first time they had faced an intact higher creature, and the couple decided to play more steady, so Azhara was in charge of long-range containment and Nesta was in charge of melee raids.
'Bang bang bang! ’
A large number of high-speed wind blades flew out of Azshara's six arms, and in addition to their traditional cutting power, they were also endowed with a circumferential blade structure that was previously only used in melee combat, so they had much higher lethality than before, and had their own rapid effect.
These attacks threatened the bird, but just as it was busy dodging, Nesta slumped sideways, its bony wings pulled back, and then, driven by the wind-breaking structure in front of its skull, the high-speed engine, and the small engine group that grew at the end of the tail, it accelerated to five times the speed of sound in an instant, and in an instant, it burst into front of the bird.
In an instant, the four arms stretched straight forward, and a pair of circumferential blades slashed across the belly of the giant bird that was trying to turn over and dodge, bringing out a large handful of blood and a hardy feather that burst into the sky;
And when it staggered, the tail hammer instantly smashed downward, hitting the target solidly, and forcing it out of the supersonic state, and was smashed sideways by the huge force.
In the direction where it was knocked away, Aisara's attack had already been waiting, and the supersonic frequency gun carried by the body was rapidly activated, and the dense attack that was invisible to ordinary vision formed a barrage at this time, causing the giant bird to break through its defense in pain and immediately have the idea of escaping.
At this point, Nesta finally completed the turn after the high-speed spurt, and suddenly accelerated again, and suddenly suddenly burst into the back of the giant bird that was throwing blood.....
The thick, bony hindlimbs stretched out, and its sharp claws pierced deep into its flesh, while its barbed fangs stretched out to the limit before biting its neck with a fierce bite;
Moreover, one pair of arms was already tightly wrapped around its body, its outstretched claws slicing into its torso, while the remaining two pairs stabbed its side and back.
The giant bird was in pain, and its feathers erupted, but it did not interfere with Nesta's mimic body;
The wind howled in perception, the two monsters flew at high speed, and Nesta had inflicted considerable injuries on it, and the once invincible creature was now wailing under his crotch.
Just as things were turning for the better and Azhara stopped her attack due to the confusion in the shooting world, the abrupt giant bird let out another scream.....
It was an ultrasound wave far beyond the lethality of the Banshee's Howl, which acted directly on Nesta's body at close range, and scraped off the tonnage of his body in an instant;
And before and after the end of this first wave of physical effects, the unique patterns that can be obtained when high-level demonic beasts use spell-like attacks are generated, and then they extend towards the more inward armored area, and even the area where Nesta's main cells are located.
For the first time, he personally experienced the feeling of being directly hit by the attack of a high-level demonic beast, and the huge amount of pain spread infinitely in his perception, and even affected his thinking and stopped his movements in an instant, and the giant bird also reluctantly exerted his strength at this time and broke free from his limitations.
At that moment, Nesta, who had lost consciousness for a short time, fell rapidly downward, while the giant bird retracted its wings and accelerated, and was about to start downward, obviously with the mentality of mending the knife....
In just an instant, the giant bird launched a chase faster than before, and opened its mouth after getting closer, wanting to attack again;
However, Azhara's containment also paid off, as she used her faster speed and her own attacks that could not be ignored to interrupt the rhythm of her subsequent attacks, interrupt her pursuit 'foot', and suppress them in a hurry, maintaining a distance not too far away.
Below, Nesta finally regained consciousness after falling for thousands of meters or so, and the soundproof armor on his body surface undoubtedly saved his life, greatly reducing the direct effect of the giant bird's attack on the main cells, and also weakening the area affected by the effect of the 'special effect'.
However, the strange pattern has begun to spread......
Nesta herself is not a high-level demonic beast, and the practice of witch doctors has long since turned a corner, embarking on a completely different path both in terms of biology and increasing combat power;
There are good and bad things about this, the advantages are 'universality within the race', 'single adaptability', and the acquisition of 'enhancements beyond the limits of one's own ability', which makes him, all the witch doctors, and even the warriors blessed by the totem armor gain several, tens, and thousands of times the strength of the ontological ability;
And the disadvantage is reflected in the current situation.....
He doesn't have the same high resistance to these additional effects as other higher creatures, so he can only resist with his own pure attributes, and the situation doesn't seem to be optimistic.
Fortunately, as mentioned earlier, the mimic body itself, as well as the countless totemic structures superimposed on it, effectively alleviated the degree of his own injuries.....
Thus, seeing the unknown patterns spreading across the mimics, accelerating as the number of eroded totems increased, Nesta immediately gave up most of its proliferation structures, and reluctantly discarded some of the 'infected' true cells;
The former, after cutting off the energy supply from him and cutting off the energy system that comes with it, is constantly eroded by the effect while becoming a falling object and falling rapidly downward;
The latter, carefully collected by the distressed Nesta, was stored in a bottle made of multiple materials with a fine layer of insulation, and stored in the body.
After this abandonment, the loss of cells was of course extremely distressing to him, but the loss of the mimic and the loss of the totemic effect attached to it destroyed most of his combat power in a short period of time.....
It was a high-strength semi-plant, semi-metal bone material weighing tens of thousands of tons, and Nesta, which could not be created out of thin air, could only have time and resources to reconstruct the mimic again in a stable area with abundant energy and raw materials, such as the culture chamber of the headquarters.
Obviously, this is not something that can be done immediately, so at this point he chooses to ask his partner for help....
'Azara, Azhara! Ready to merge with me~'
'Understand, do you need me to go down and answer it?' Aisara, who was in the middle of the battle, quickly responded.
"Let's go down a little bit, I've lost too much proliferative material, and I don't have enough reserves in the cells to make a super-high-speed engine, and I'm too much faster than you." ’
'Understood, the coordinates**-**-** point remained hovering and I accelerated past. ’
'Good~'
Using the few remaining materials, the purple cell swarm barely managed to build an engine capable of maintaining twice the speed of sound, and propelled it to the designated location;
And at the moment when he arrived, Azhara's figure suddenly appeared, opened part of the armor, and 'ate' Nesta into it.
'How do you fit?' Shallow or deep? ’
'Depth, you create the distance difference first, we use the time to complete the merger, and then you control the body and squeeze me into that strange space, I want to see if there is a chance to recover the lost part of the cell. ’
"Stingy guy, obviously I didn't lose much, so I started it." ’
After the exchange, Aishara suddenly accelerated, creating a time difference of a few seconds in an instant, and began to fuse, and under the effect of inertia, her body was still moving forward rapidly even in the fusion.
At this moment, the giant bird's eyes revealed obvious surprise, and it could not understand why the powerful strange creature was so vulnerable, or why it had suddenly disappeared;
But at this moment, the creature in front of it, which had also invaded its realm, showed a strange sense of weakness;
Therefore, the giant bird, who wanted to completely solve the opponent, chose to continue the pursuit, and then was undoubtedly flown the kite.
By the time the giant bird finally reached a distance of several kilometers, Aishara had already wiped out her partner's cells in less than a few seconds, and had established a new body that had been united at the level of the visualization.....
The merger of two fifth-order units cannot be explained by a simple 1+1=2, and twice the original cell volume can form a multiplicative enhancement in terms of computing power, and thus support a larger mimic body, so as to obtain a more powerful totem blessing;
Even though he was not in an environment with spare materials and energy at this time, even though Nesta had lost most of the mimic matter before, Azhara still used the remaining materials and much faster thinking to construct a new body that was several times more powerful in a short period of time.
And when the giant bird finally arrives and is about to attack, it is faced with a head-on attack, and then loses consciousness and freedom in a matter of seconds.....
In the sky, the 170-year-old female half-dragon froze, a powerful jet of air flowing from her back, rendering a large purple-red stream cloud below;
The giant bird, on the other hand, drooped its wings as if it were dead, lost its movement, and was quietly dragged by its lap like the prey that Azhara had caught.
If you look closely, you can see that her fingers have pierced into the giant bird's skull and deeper brains, as if it has directly cut off its magic crystal circuit and abolished the brain domain function of the giant bird, which makes it appear to be so 'harmless to humans and animals'.
At this point, Azhara lacked an effective means of communication with her partner, so she didn't know if she was successful or when, so she didn't immediately withdraw from the merger state, but instead retracted the redundant combat structure, transformed the half-dragon body into a troll, or Nesta casually mentioned 'Titan'.
Then, she looked at the prey in her hand, recalled the soaring combat power after the merger, and the actual combat experience born from it, Aishara understood the power of this state, and also understood that the high-level demonic beast had really become a chicken boy who could catch it whenever she wanted......
Of course, this 'chicken boy' is good at elves, and you need to pay attention to avoid their unique attacks, otherwise you will have to usher in the same painful lesson as Nesta before.
But the difference in combat power is still absolute, as long as you are careful, there will be no problem......
Therefore, the idea of quickly capturing all the targets rose in her heart, and those high-level demonic beasts in a seriously injured state, which were not even as good as the giant birds in terms of combat power, must be able to complete the capture in a short time;
However, the big guy who has been caught in his hand seems to have become a big burden.
However, she thought that although her speed was limited by her current body shape, she could still soar nearly 5 times the speed of sound, so it didn't seem like a problem to send the prey back to the tribe and turn it into the core of the mother tree before setting off.
After thinking this and making up her mind, Azhara no longer hesitated, and even though she maintained this posture, she carried the prisoner in the direction of the headquarters and galloped away......
The target was far away, but it seemed so close, that she had reached her headquarters from the heights of the Northern Continent to the mountains, through the Black Forest, and finally to her headquarters.
~~~~~
The witch doctors' perceived returns were much slower than Azhara's flight speed at this time, so the warriors on duty in the guard room had the honor of being among the first to witness his size.
"Captain! Look! It's a super-sized creature that is approaching quickly!
”
The summoned captain immediately approached the cube to look at it, and saw the target displayed as a 'point' under the distance mark, and also recognized the target's body shape data in the comparison between distance and body size;
So, he asked the Detective Center,
"What are the results? Why is there no warning signal? ”
"It has been verified that the source of the signal is Ms. Essara, the Speaker of the Council, and the other end has sent a special identification code for interrupting the mission, and the three-phase verification is correct, and it is confirmed that it is a trusted unit."
The Detective Center responded with a mechanical voice that lacked the original agility.
As it answered the question, the dots in the cube had grown in size and had taken on specific morphological features, and the face was seen by the elves on duty.
It was a familiar and unfamiliar face, and they were a little confused by the fact that it was a 'super-large' unit with an elven body.....
"That face ....."
"The facial information has been compared, and it has the characteristics of both the Parliament Leader and the Herald, and is consistent with the identity and appearance of the 'Nesarata' marked in the feature database."
"Nesarata...... What the hell? ”
"The preparation is correct, 'Nesarata' is a combined neutral creature of the Herald and the Council Leader, and can be driven by the consciousness of both parties, and can be recognized as its own unit with top-level security clearance."
"It's... Well, report it to the reconnaissance command, and if it's correct, it doesn't matter..... The hub automatically reports once, non-commissioned officer, you report manually again! ”
"Understood!" One fighter responded.
Moments later, when Ishshara was still hundreds of kilometers away from the headquarters, the two confirmations sent to the upper peak had been replied to, and both were orders to 'do not activate the warning plan';
And the warriors, only at this time, really relaxed, began to use a different line of sight, more closely to observe the extremely powerful display image.....
"Captain.... Neutral yes~ The two witch doctors are already very tempting, but this time it's double... No, it's more than ten times more attractive when combined! ”
"Don't be foolish, Madam Speaker and the Herald are not like you chaotic bunches, they are truly loyal to each other.... Although I don't quite understand it. ”
The captain glanced at the four teammates who were regardless of gender, and spoke again,
"The point is that the thing that the lady is carrying in her hand seems to be the revenge target No. 1? It was killed... Or was it captured? ”
"I guess I was captured.... Yes, there is a sign of life, it is alive. ”
"Wow! Great~ This is an increase of tens of thousands of juniors. ”
"Scouting room, please answer if you hear it, this is Aishara."
Suddenly, a neutral voice came out of the audio converter, and the captain immediately stopped the rest of the conversation and quickly responded,
"Received, this is the captain on duty in the reconnaissance room, please give me orders!"
"I'll be able to arrive right away, inform the council to prepare the High Monster Prison, and prepare to transform the mother tree."
"Understood, I'll notify immediately!"
"Well, hard work."
After the captain complied with the notice, the Witch Doctors worked with the Core to begin the construction of the new Mother Tree, and completed the preparation of its pre-assembled body in a very short time.
At this time, Aishara also stopped at the extension of the headquarters with a gale wind, and her huge size of 170 meters, as well as the 110-meter-tall high-level demonic beast captive in her hand, immediately entered the keen perception of most elves.
Compared to the height of the buildings in the headquarters, and the height of the larger Mother Tree, Aishara's current size is honestly not too exaggerated;
After all, even without mentioning these large and small buildings, the elves' creations such as battleships, deep-sea submarines, and even airships in the sea are much larger than her.
But the feeling of oppression produced by the erect, elven form of the giant creature was far more powerful than that of all the other references;
Therefore, she still left a deep surprise on the citizens and sergeants at the moment, and after learning of his identity in the notice, this surprise turned into pride in her own strength in a very short time.
After slowly landing on the outskirts of the headquarters and waiting for a moment, a wave suddenly erupted in the area in front of Aishara that affected the five senses;
Later, the forest turned into a sea of purple-gold and green, and the tall walls and the five towering mother trees in the interior came into view.
Immediately afterwards, the walls sank and cracked in silence, and the buildings exposed behind them disintegrated or slimmed down, and retreated to the sides;
As a result, a passage was opened in front of her eyes to lead to a certain place, ending in the planned place reserved for the sixth mother tree.
When the road ahead was completely cleared, Azhara carried the giant bird's skull and entered the headquarters like this......
In the deformed Giant Wall Fortress in the warning area, a sergeant had a longing and yearning look in his eyes, and watched the giant thing in front of him carry the prey step by step;
Orr, the military alert area was left behind, and the sides of the street where Azhara walked became office buildings and local communities, and at this time there was also an elf lying on a window, standing in the outer ropeway, or suspended in the air;
Their expressions were excited and yearning, and at this time, looking at her and looking at the big bird in her hand, they involuntarily let out one cheer after another.
'Nesarata'..... Or in other words, the expression on her face is no longer as amorous and seductive as when she faces her partner, she has become serious and graceful, and only has a polite smile that is not conspicuous at the corner of her mouth.
Eshara was not slow to travel, and the headquarters was not known for its large area due to its high use of space, so it arrived at its destination quickly;
There, dozens of witch doctors had already arrived and had already completed all preparations for the new mother tree.
So Asara carried the giant bird into the heart of the mother tree, and by the way, she also used her totemic nails to grasp it again and again in a 'buzzing' sound, deliberately leaving a large number of wounds;
Immediately after, the circumferential blade of her upper arm was ruthlessly inserted into the hole in the skull, scooping it along the wound, and by the way, the perceptual and motor areas were removed, and then the magic crystal was brutally pulled out with the palm of her hand.
As the giant bird was stuffed, a large flock of vines poured into these wounds and initially activated their respective functions, and the mother tree began to structurally close and the various functions began to operate at the most efficient level;
Then I saw the mother tree No. 6 grow rapidly, and soon grow to the same extent as the other five;
At this time, the functions of the mother tree were officially activated, completely connected to the urban system, and an inexhaustible supply of high-energy cell sap was continuously extracted, becoming an important resource for the Republic to cultivate the elves of the next generation.
