Chapter 1840 Wasteland City
There's a lot to explore in Bloodlands, especially some of the less visited areas.
The team left the Blood Well and headed towards a wasteland according to the map.
…
According to records, the apocalyptic wasteland area was once the relics of a powerful empire tens of thousands of years ago. It is impossible to know exactly what happened. What is certain is that the race that once lived here has long been extinct.
The surrounding area was desolate, and chaotic magical energy affected everything around it. The ground was full of scorched earth and large craters left by the explosion, which were formed by the explosion of weapons of mass destruction.
Plants still exist in such an environment, and the plants growing here are highly mutated and very dangerous.
The convoy advanced in the wasteland. Jingwei frowned and led the way. She clenched the hilt of her sword and her eyes were full of vigilance. After entering the wasteland area, the world changed. The Supreme's perception was weakened here, and there were some wandering around. The monsters eroded by magic energy have strange auras. Sometimes they are not threatening, but sometimes they can exude the aura of a supreme and high-level monster.
After entering the wasteland, these monsters have been following around.
"Just let them follow like this?" Jingwei asked on the communicator.
"Keep it like this." Samantha Ling, who was beside the carriage, replied, "Don't take the initiative to attack. Those monsters are a bit weird, so it's best not to provoke them."
"All right……"
Those on guard outside are all the most powerful ones, and the members below the Supreme are resting in carriages and space components.
Those monsters kept a distance from the convoy and did not attack or leave. They just followed. The convoy moved forward for a day, and the next day it was blocked by a piece of black scorched earth. The magic energy here was even more chaotic, and various elements collided with each other. From time to time, there were A magical storm emerges from the black scorched earth.
It is difficult for legal professions to replenish magic power in this environment. Excessive absorption or being close to a high-intensity radiation area will cause harm to the body. The monsters following the team also stopped, as if they were also afraid of the radiation emitted by the black scorched earth. Magical energy.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xilingchen sighed: "This is caused by some kind of weapon of mass destruction. Even after such a long time, the magic radiation here is very deadly."
"This is too terrifying!" Moquling, who was standing next to Xilingchen and holding up the barrier, was a little surprised. "It has been so long and the magic energy has not dissipated."
The people with gray eyes also have weapons of mass destruction. Nuclear weapons, metal fission bombs, forbidden spells, and elemental controllers are all weapons of mass destruction, but they cannot cause the situation at hand. What kind of weapons can pollute the environment like this? ? Tens of thousands of years passed without recovery.
"This is just secondary pollution. There are even more terrifying ones." Xilingchen shook his head and turned back to the carriage.
Second-level pollution, this is a pollution standard for Time and Space Villa. Nuclear energy belongs to the first level, nether energy, dark energy and the chaotic magic energy in front of us all belong to the second level, and there are also level 3 and level 4.
Annihilation energy is between level four and level five. Beyond level three, it cannot be solved by ordinary mortal races.
The Supreme can resist chaotic magic, but not those below the Supreme.
The team paused for a moment and entered the black scorched earth. The monsters that followed did not come over and stopped outside the scorched earth. This made Jingwei, who was leading the way, frown. Was it because she was afraid of the radiation of the scorched earth, or was there something more terrifying in the scorched earth? monster? Whatever it is, it's not good news.
The chaotic magic energy of the scorched earth seemed to affect the entire world. The originally bright sky became dark, and black clouds gathered in the sky. It looked like it was going to rain. Samantha looked up at the sky and said at the gloomy sky. : "It's going to rain. If it rains in this environment, it may be dangerous. Do you want to find a place to take shelter?"
"Yeah, but it's too empty here." The succubus looked around. There was nothing but black scorched earth nearby. It was desolate, dead, and there weren't even any plants.
We have entered the scorched earth and there is no way to go back. We can only bite the bullet and move forward.
And just as Samantha guessed, as the clouds gathered, the sky turned completely dark, and corrosive raindrops fell from the sky a few hours later.
The magicians held up the barrier, and the knights and warriors activated protective fighting spirit and various enchantments to block the corrosive rain. The rain became heavier and heavier, and soon the surrounding area became pitch black. Some of the Supremes returned to the carriage to rest, while others stayed behind. Outside, people were on duty in turns, and Fang Ya's team was the same. The convoy moved forward in the rain, but soon, the Supreme who was on guard outside discovered something unusual.
There were powerful auras wandering nearby in the darkness, and the outline of a human figure could be vaguely seen.
A bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and the light it brought instantly shocked the Supreme who was on guard near the convoy. At some point, hundreds of humanoid units gathered nearby. These humanoid units were exuding red energy, like puppets on strings. Uncoordinated movement of limbs.
"There is danger!" Queen Fire Lotus directly expanded her domain, and the other supreme beings who were on guard outside also entered fighting postures.
After the lightning, the surrounding area fell into darkness, and the attack also appeared at this time. The black figure rushed towards the convoy. The mage in the convoy raised his hand and released several illuminating light balls above his head.
"Protect the carriage!"
Jumping off the back of the two-headed dragon, Jingwei charged and blocked the front of the carriage. Several black figures nearby instantly surrounded them. Under the lighting ball, everyone discovered that they were a group of living puppets pieced together with limbs. There are a lot of red bloodshot connections where the limbs are connected. This is not any known monster, it is man-made.
Fighting spirit and magic erupted near the convoy. The defense of these living creatures is very high, with the strength of supreme intermediate level, but they are very uncoordinated and inconsistent.
He will use any magic and fighting spirit, but only fights with his body.
But even so, these living puppets are very powerful and can move in an environment like the wasteland. Their physical and magic resistance are frighteningly high.
The sudden outbreak of fighting alarmed everyone who was resting in the carriage. The supreme experts who received the news came out to help. Soon everyone was fighting with these living dolls. The resistance of the living dolls was too high, and the seventh-level magic, Level eight magic can only knock back frontal hits, causing very limited damage.
The two blood puppets under Ao Rouer frowned after seeing these monsters, because these living puppets were very similar to them.
Blood dolls use various rare materials to create their bodies, and finally the soul lives in them. These living dolls are pieced together from corpses. The only difference is that the blood dolls can think for themselves, but these living dolls cannot. Just a chaotic and violent soul.
"There should be an energy core in their bodies, similar to our blood stones." One of the blood puppets shouted. The blood puppets were created, and so are these living puppets. If the living puppets are used to make blood With the technology of puppets, you can look for weaknesses in this aspect.
After hearing this, Ao Rou'er waved her hand and commanded: "The queen opens the field to catch one! The spirit girl is ready to control!"
The Ghost Fire Lotus Queen immediately looked for an opportunity and soon found a single living puppet. She directly expanded the area to cover the living puppet. The Moquling followed closely and directly controlled it with ice magic.
Ao Rou'er brought a blood puppet into the domain, and then several people began to look for weaknesses in the controlled living puppet. The Supreme teamed up, and even if the living puppet's defense was high, they could not stop it. As the limbs of the living puppet were removed, A blood-red crystal was soon found in the heart area.
"That's it!" The blood puppet grabbed the crystal, and the living puppet immediately lost its ability to move.
Ao Rou'er informed everyone of the news, and it was easy to follow up.
The souls in the living dolls are very chaotic and do not have any thinking ability. They just act based on instinct. If there were not too many living dolls, a few supremes could solve it.
Whether it is destroying the crystal in the heart area or peeling it off, the living puppets can lose their ability to move. In just ten minutes, all nearby living puppets will be killed. After the battle, the next step is to clean up the battlefield. Without energy protection, The corrosive raindrops quickly dissolved the body.
The blood puppet wanted to absorb some of the blood from the living puppet, but was stopped by Ao Rou'er: "This blood may be dangerous, so it's best not to absorb it."
"Let's give it a try." The blood doll nodded. The two of them also knew that it would be difficult for a monster to survive in such an environment, so they just took away a part of the blood and then returned to the carriage to rest. Ao Rou'er also Nothing was said. The blood doll's power came from blood, and they knew better than themselves.
The crisis was resolved in this way, but the danger in this area was not over. The corrosive rain was getting heavier and heavier, and some monsters sleeping deep underground woke up. The convoy encountered a monster not long after advancing, a seven-eight-meter-tall monster. huge monster.
However, the monsters that appeared did not take the initiative to attack, but were moving slowly. Shamanling investigated and found that these monsters were refreshed.
Aberrant behemoth, level 90, neutral unit.
The reconnaissance skills either have no feedback or have names and attributes. If there is a name, it means that the game rules are refreshed. If there is no feedback, it is not. Units with refreshed game rules can explode things after killing them, and gain experience, but this time the team did not respond to them. The monster attacks because the aberrant beast is too strong.
As the convoy moved forward, everyone discovered a situation, that is, all the aberrant beasts seemed to be moving in one direction. Judging from the general direction, it was deeper into the wasteland.
There is something in the wasteland that is attracting the beasts, maybe food, maybe something else.
Xilingchen, who was resting in the carriage, seemed to sense something. He raised his head slightly and asked, "How is the situation outside?"
"It's still raining." Duan Yu replied while arranging his clothes after hearing this: "This rain has awakened many things in the wasteland. We are still going deep, but we can't determine the direction due to the lack of vision."
"Well, keep going deeper." Xilingchen nodded.
Xilingchen is a demigod, and his perception cannot be wrong. He feels that there is something going on in this area, so he must be right.
With the emergence of the aberrant behemoths, more and more monsters are awakening. Although most of them will not attack actively, there are also some dangerous ones among them.
A gray figure suddenly appeared in the distance. It was very fast. There was no need to warn Jingwei. Jingwei felt it flash before her eyes, and then she flew out. After she flew out, all the powerful men nearby were separated. He took action, but the gray figure was too fast and dodged all attacks.
"Open the domain!" Lan Yan shouted and blue energy ignited on her body. Facing such a speed monster, she could only open the domain restriction.
Among the Supremes, the ones with the most combat experience are Lan Yan and Samantha Ling. Both of them were once level 100 warriors and had faced various dangerous situations. As soon as she finished shouting, Queen of the Nether Fire Lotus opened the realm. The realm appeared, and the mages began to set up various magic traps near the convoy.
If you lay a trap in front of the enemy, the opponent will definitely not step on it, but it is not without effect. The trap is only to limit the movement of the gray figure.
With the magic traps deployed around the carriage, the gray figure's attack direction was greatly restricted. At this time, Lan Yan had already rushed out. Although her speed was not as fast as the gray figure, with the cooperation of so many supreme beings behind her, she was completely able to fight. force.
Jingwei, who was beaten away, also rushed out angrily at this time, and her position was covered in all directions.
Faced with the ridicule, the gray figure was indeed attracted and turned into an afterimage and rushed towards her.
"Come on!" Jingwei held up the shield. She didn't want to attack at all, just to draw hatred.
In just a few seconds, the gray figure rushed in front of Jingwei. With a loud noise, Jingwei flew backwards again, but this time the gray figure was knocked back. Lan Yan seized the opportunity and rushed forward with her ultimate move. Phantom Sword Qi, after the ultimate move, don’t forget to add the ice control.
The other Supremes behind were also prepared for a long time. When they saw Lan Yan retreating, they launched various long-range attacks. After various light and shadow special effects flashed, the gray figure was blown away and fell to the ground and rolled several times.
Tantai Yushan went up to hit the target after the gray figure was blown away, without giving the gray figure a chance to recover.
"Is it solved?" Jingwei got up from the ground.
"Yes." Tantai Yushan replied on the communicator, "Solved."
Dozens of seconds later, the female pirate returned to the team carrying the body of the gray figure. Only then did everyone see clearly the true face of the gray figure. It was a humanoid race with pointed ears but not an elf. Its arms were covered with gray scales and was wearing a A gray cloak and a pair of black boots on his legs.
Except for the cloak and black boots, all other equipment was in tatters. Tantai Yushan opened a barrier to block the corrosive rain, then threw the body on the ground and said: "It is an undead, this body has been lifeless for a long time. "
Jingwei came over. She looked at the corpse on the ground and said, "Even if this guy knocked me away twice, he doesn't look very powerful."
"It's because of the equipment." Lan Yan pointed to the cloak, "The shoes and cloak are good things, but I can't sense any energy fluctuations, and my detection skills can't detect any information. Show it to the master, maybe he knows."
"Yeah." Everyone nodded in agreement.
A few minutes later, the cloak and boots that had been simply cleaned were delivered to Xilingchen. Xilingchen looked at the two pieces of equipment in surprise. Originally, he was still thinking about what was hidden in this wasteland, but his men found the clues so quickly. Looking at the two pieces of equipment, Xilingchen said calmly: "This is the equipment that has been blessed."
"Blessed?" Samantha Ling was surprised.
"Yes." Xilingchen nodded, "The equipment blessed by the gods is not the real god, but the kind of god with attributes, such as the elf god, the earth god, the flame god, this type of false god, but even if it is False gods are no different from true gods to mortal races.”
Samantha Ling knew the situation of her master. She looked at the two pieces of equipment and seemed to think of a possibility: "There was once a god in this wasteland?"
"I don't know." Xilingchen shrugged. He really didn't know, but he soon became serious. "But this possibility cannot be ruled out. Gods are only very powerful to mortal races, but they are not invincible. , maybe the reason why this wasteland has not recovered for so long is because the divine war broke out."
"This..." Samantha Ling didn't know what to say. It was just two pieces of equipment that were related to the divine war. This was no longer an area she could touch.
Xilingchen was just guessing. He didn't know what happened specifically. It was difficult to understand what had happened here without using his own power, but these were not important. He looked at the equipment and said, "Take these two pieces of equipment." Go ahead and use it, the shoes increase your movement speed, and the cloak hides your breath."
The two pieces of equipment were finally given to Lan Yan, because they could maximize the power of the equipment. Lan Yan was once a level 100 powerhouse. Giving her the cloak and boots would allow her to reach the speed of pseudo-level 100, and the speed of pseudo-level 100 Only Lan Yan and Samantha Ling can fully control it.
The corrosive rain finally stopped after a day, and a glimmer of light appeared in the dark sky, and the outline of a city in the distance appeared in the field of vision.
After advancing in the wasteland for so long, traces of civilization finally appeared.
"There is a city!" Jingwei in front shouted in surprise, and others also saw the outline of the city.
Everyone stopped, and as the dark clouds gradually dissipated, a large area in front of the city appeared in front of them, which was densely packed with countless monsters.
The city is surrounded by countless monsters, including the previously deformed behemoths, various mutated humanoid units, and many things that are indescribable when combined with flesh and blood.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Shamanling gently put down the sword in her hand and said, "Why...why are there so many monsters? Are they going to the city?"
No one answered, because the companions didn't know. The battle maid Duan Yu took out the telescope. After observing it, she said: "These monsters seem to be unable to get in. They stopped a few kilometers away from the city. I don't know if there are any." It’s a barrier or something, there are many monsters fighting.”
"Let's talk to the master." Queen Netherfire Lotus said before entering the carriage.
Xilingchen, who was resting in the carriage, closed his eyes and felt it. Although he had sealed himself, the demigod's perception was still quite accurate. This perception really discovered the situation, "The city is covered by some kind of energy, and inside There may be something there, maybe it’s the relics of the civilization that once existed here, find a way to get in and explore it.”
He didn't know exactly what was in the city. He could only sense that the city was protected by an energy.
After receiving the order, the team continued to set off, but how to enter the city was a problem. Countless monsters surrounded the city. For now, there was no other way but to force their way in.
On the way to the city, everyone observed for a long time and finally found an area with relatively few monsters. But even so, they still had to face tens of thousands of monsters. Fortunately, these monsters were not in the same camp, and there were also fights between monsters. , there are also fights.
Faced with this situation, ordinary members can no longer help and can only do logistical work. Only the Supreme can participate in the battle.
All the Supremes were dispatched and cooperated with each other to clear the road ahead. The carriage was protected by the Queen of Wraiths and Su Xiang'er. The Supremes were killing monsters in front and slowly advancing. The monsters surrounding the city were refreshed by game rules. There are also some that have mutated in the first place. In short, the explosive equipment is brought back.
After advancing for half a day, we are still far away from the city, and during this period of advancement, there are still many monsters attracted by the battle fluctuations.
Although the advancement speed is very slow, it is not without gains. On the contrary, the gains are very rich. Half-skeleton archers, headless knights, and blood puppets have all been improved to varying degrees. They are all undead units. The fastest way to improve the undead is Absorb the soul crystals of other undead.
The blood was given to the blood dolls, the skeleton archers needed flesh and blood, and the other members absorbed the soul crystals. Within half a day, several low-level members started to break through.
If it weren't for the influence of the chaotic magic energy in the wasteland, there would probably be more members breaking through.
The next day, a dark knight under Jingwei launched an attack on the Supreme. In order to allow this member to break through smoothly, Xilingchen took out high-level energy crystals and Warcraft crystal cores for the opponent to absorb. With the assistance of resources, A few hours later, the Dark Knight successfully broke through, adding another Supreme to the team.
There is also a gap between the Supremes. The Dark Knight is an ordinary Supreme and is not at the same level as Jingwei Queen of Resentments and others. If divided according to combat power, Queen of Resentments, Lan Yan, Samantha Ling, and Xiaolan belong to the first echelon, followed by Mo Quling, Queen of Fire Lotus and others.
The Dark Knight and the Blood Doll belong to the third echelon. If we insist on dividing them, top-level Supremes have their own exclusive abilities, high-level Supremes have weapons and equipment suitable for themselves, and ordinary Supremes have nothing, but their levels have gone up.
However, even an ordinary supreme unit is stronger than a peak level 89 unit. A supreme unit is a qualitative leap, and all aspects will be greatly improved.
The monsters surrounding the city are all from level 70 to level 90. There are few at level 90, but each one is very powerful. Even the Queen of Wraiths and others need to work together to deal with them.
As the monsters were cleared, various resources were sent to the carriage warehouse. Even Fang Ya and others who followed the team also gained a lot. Xilingchen is not a stingy person. In order to balance the harvest, he took the undead resources by himself. , resources that are not undead will be given to Fang Ya’s team.
In this way, they advanced towards the abandoned city. After four days, the team finally broke through the monster group and entered the city.
Xilingchen's guess was correct. An invisible energy barrier blocked the monster's entry, but this obstruction was not physical, but an instinct, just like herbivores would not approach carnivores.
The convoy felt something abnormal after passing through the invisible barrier and entering the city. The magic element here is very rich, which is completely opposite to the environment in the wasteland. There is no chaotic magic energy and no chaotic elements. It is as if the invisible barrier purifies the wasteland. Same as magic.
Xilingchen frowned at this time, because Xiaoling detected level three energy, and there seemed to be a hint of divine power in the air.
"Divine power? Are you sure?" Xilingchen asked in his heart.
"Definitely!" Xiao Ling was very sure. "People make mistakes, but detectors don't. There is residual divine power here. It is also because of this trace of divine power that the elemental environment here is so good."
"interesting……"
A city in the wasteland actually has remnants of divine power. Could it be that a divine war really broke out here?
Xilingchen stepped out of the carriage. He planned to take a look at the city with his own eyes. Because the divine power was too rare, Xiaoling could not detect more information and could not determine the attributes of the gods who were here. But the city must have the answer, because this A trace of divine power exists so the city has not weathered over time, but has been preserved to this day.
As the convoy entered the city, everyone observed the surroundings curiously. Based on the style of the buildings and the writing on the buildings, they could tell that this was a civilization from the previous era.
There are many advertisements on the streets, such as half-price specials, shops recruiting people, etc. This city is no different from a modern city. The only difference is that all facilities serve the undead. This is a modern city of the undead. .
Xilingchen has a translator. He can understand the city's words, but the people around him can't, but that doesn't matter.
The streets of the city are very clean, as if someone cleans them regularly, and there are some things from this era on the main roads, including broken vehicles, undead carriages, magic-powered single-person vehicles, some containers, etc., and even A broken mecha was also found at a corner.
The existence of these things shows that someone has explored this place long before everyone came. The resources in the back of the city are probably plundered by the previous people.
Not long after the convoy moved forward, Jingwei, who was leading the way, stopped.
"Everyone shields their own aura, there is danger in the city!" Jingwei's voice appeared on all channels. There were no monsters in front, but there were traces of fighting.
In front of the team, there were several large potholes that had been repaired on the originally neat road. They were temporarily repaired by earth magicians. The surrounding buildings also showed signs of explosions. The battle seemed fierce. One of the buildings even had a very large hole. There were obvious cracks, and there were bullet holes and arrows in the walls farther away.
The team that had encountered danger here seemed to have encountered some fast unit. Unfortunately, there was no blood nearby. This area should have been cleaned after the battle.
"The drone has been released." A combat maid observed the surroundings with a tactical goggle. After the drone took off, she transmitted the nearby situation.
Back, "No energy reflection was detected within one thousand meters, and no moving units were found."
The armed spider machine also climbed to the roof of a nearby building at this time. The person controlling the spider machine was another battle maid, "The armed spiders have been deployed and are on alert!"
The core of the battle maids is the bionic engine provided by Fang Ya. Although the level has not reached the supreme level, with the engine and the various advanced machinery held by Xilingchen, the battle maids can also exert supreme level combat effectiveness in cooperation with each other. It even far surpasses the Supreme Power in terms of logistics and support.
"Everything is normal around here!"
"No..." Jingwei shook her head after hearing this. She came to a wall to check, "The target may be an invisible unit. Looking at these bullet holes, you seem to be pre-judged shooting."
Samantha Ling stepped forward to check it out and said, "Well, maybe it's some kind of unit that is fast and has the ability to be invisible. Everyone, please pay attention!"
There are drones in the sky and supreme powerhouses on the ground. Unless it is a level 100 unit, it will be difficult to attack the convoy. Moving along the road, more and more details are being discovered. This road is full of big holes that have been repaired. , there are a lot of discarded materials nearby, which shows that there are so many people coming here that the road must be built.
There were no food or energy crystals among the discarded supplies, but everything else was available. Even some supplies seemed to have been discarded in recent months, including weapons and ammunition, magic equipment, and even very advanced remote communications. It can be seen that the adventurous team here is well equipped.
In a shop on the street, Xiao Meng found a very advanced magic quiver and a set of enchanted arrows. Such good weapons were discarded, which means that either they really cannot be taken away, or they are of higher value. s things.
Xilingchen and several high-level supremes are not short of equipment, but others are. These discarded items are recycled as long as they can be used.
Just when everyone was happily picking up rags, a detection drone discovered an abnormality and energy fluctuations appeared! It's more than 900 meters away from everyone!
"Something's happening, abnormal energy fluctuations were detected on the left side!" The battle maid in charge of monitoring immediately notified all channels.
Everyone who received the news entered a fighting state in the next second. The supreme powerhouse rushed towards the place where the energy fluctuation appeared, and the members below the supreme leader quickly returned to the carriage.
Shortly after the Supreme was dispatched, the battle broke out. As previously guessed, the monsters in the city had the characteristics of invisibility and high speed. There was only one hidden monster. After the Supreme came to support, the monster was successfully surrounded. The area of movement was restricted, and eventually Jingwei charged against the wall.
It was an undead soldier wearing damaged armor. Although the armor on his body was damaged, everyone could feel the extraordinary quality of the armor. It was this damaged armor that provided the undead soldier with the ability to become invisible.
They are not units that have been refreshed by the rules of the game. Soldiers have always existed. Perhaps they were the undead of this city who survived to this day for unknown reasons.
The eyes of the restrained undead soldier were red and extremely angry, and he could not communicate at all. Seeing this, Sha Manling came over and slashed him with a sword. The undead soldier quickly shrank and finally turned into a black soul crystal, and the damaged armor on his body also fell off. fell to the ground.
Jingwei picked up the armor and soul crystal and said, "Take it back and show it to the master."
The damaged armor was quickly brought to Xilingchen. After looking at it, Xilingchen touched it and said, "It's the same as what was found before. But the blessing effect is not good. If the soldiers were already in this city, , then could he be from a certain church? Look for it and see if there is any building like the Holy See in this city."
