Chapter 855 The City on Trees
The staff of life is the staff of Sean that was given by the goddess Abigail.
As an artifact bestowed by an ancient god, it is perfectly normal to have it grow and shorten at will with Xiao En's thoughts.
In terms of texture, not to mention.
It can be called indestructible.
Just because it behaves like wood doesn't mean it's inherently wood.
The portions are also horribly large.
Ordinary people probably don't even have the ability to pry it.
After getting bigger, the body of law is very easy to use.
As long as Xiao En meets along the way, one counts as one, and none of those twisted nightmares can escape.
No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat.
Although Xiao En doesn't like the power of law and energy provided by these twisted nightmares, it's good to be able to supplement his own consumption.
But after walking along the mountain-like roots of Abigail's world tree for several days, not to mention living people, I didn't even see half of the land—the roots of Abigail's world tree are not so much Rooted in the ocean, it is better to say that the ocean exists around its roots.
Could it be that I am looking in the wrong direction?
The survivors of Abigail's plane are not below, but above.
Sean looked up at the canopy that covered the roots of the tree like a canopy of the sky.
Abigail's canopy stretches as wide as the roots of Abigail's world tree.
Only when the sun catches a glimpse every day can we barely see their huge silhouettes.
After only staying in the Abigail plane for three days, Sean had a deep understanding of how unfriendly a plane with broken laws is to the creatures here. At the same time, he also knew that the goddess Abigail had previously When telling him the time, he used three hundred sunrises, not three hundred days.
The normal counting of days is no longer useful here.
The sun doesn't come out every day.
Under the tree, the time to see is even shorter, less than an hour, it will be covered by the huge canopy and endless gray fog.
As for thunderstorms, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc., these natural disasters are like pediatrics.
It's changing in turns, and many of them had no signs at all before this.
This is not surprising. After the plane barrier collapsed, the plane is not in an isolated three-dimensional space, but is moving towards a four-dimensional space.
Don't think this is a good thing.
This represents another force that can interfere with this space.
A little energy fluctuation in the fourth dimension will stir up huge waves here.
This kind of extreme environment, not to mention ordinary people, even a warrior with a strong cultivation base, would be considered a challenge if he wanted to survive.
If the intelligent beings on the plane of Abigail want to survive, they must have a strong protection force as their backing.
After thinking about it, only Abigail World Tree has this ability.
Then maybe those survivors, like birds, built nests in trees to survive!
From this point of view, it is the right move to study how to fly by yourself.
Xiao En's search for survivors in the past few days is incidental, and he has spent most of his energy researching the third form of the body of law, which is the flying form.
This matter is considered a familiarity.
Not only the transformation of the flying state with the energy clone in front, but also the series of research on the body of law during the process of soul drifting, which gave him a better understanding and control of the body of law than before.
Whether it's changing the shape or streamlining the structure, it's all handy.
There are two flying states that Sean designed for the body of law.
One is the jet aircraft mode, which uses the energy jet of the energy reactor to provide power.
Not to mention the speed, if a group of eight energy reactors are fully turned on, they will be able to beat the thundering golden eagle eight streets, which is comparable to the most advanced fighter jets in the previous life, directly breaking the speed of sound.
After the successful test flight, Sean never used this mode.
Because compared to high efficiency, consumption is too scary.
What the energy reactor sprays out is all energy.
And energy is the foundation of maintaining the combat power of a body of law, and it must be guaranteed to be above a certain amount.
The second flight mode is to insert energy wings on one's back like an energy clone, and adjust the overall magic circuit structure.
Coupled with the energy injection system of the energy reactor, it is enough for the body of law to take off in a state of iron bumps.
When the time comes to slide with the help of air buoyancy, the consumption will naturally be greatly reduced, and at the same time, the body of law can maintain a good combat effectiveness.
Xiao En had a plan in mind, and directly transformed into the second flight mode, soaring into the sky.
Started the cruise mode, and flew towards the place where he had observed in the past few days, and it might be the shelter of the Abigails.
Sean couldn't help complaining to Goddess Abigail again.
This goddess is a bit too unreliable, so she can't send him directly to the main gathering place of those survivors so that he can start his work.
Chirp! Roar! ah!
Sean had just approached the first suspected location when a familiar strange cry came from the air.
That was the sound that just appeared after the twisted nightmares got together.
Instead of being surprised, Xiao En was overjoyed, thinking to himself, could it be that he found the right place?
Twisted Nightmare is also a non-social animal. Under normal circumstances, it will not get together.
There is usually only one possibility of getting together, and that is when encountering a large number of prey.
Xiao En restrained his breath as much as possible, and touched the direction where the voice of the twisted nightmare came from.
A fantasy war scene was so abruptly displayed in front of Xiao En, even he, who had a lot of experience, was a little dumbfounded.
It is a city.
A large city located on the top of the tree, covering an area of no less than 30 square kilometers.
Sean was not surprised that a city appeared above the canopy. After all, he had already had similar speculations before that.
The Abigail world tree has broken away from the category of tree, enough for people to build a city and live on it.
It's just that the appearance of this city is a little different from what Sean originally expected, which was built directly on the Abigail World Tree.
This city was not built on the World Tree from the beginning, but was built directly on land like the city Sean knew.
In other words, the entire city, together with the foundations below, are supported by the Abigail World Tree.
It is densely covered with intertwined roots, huge tree roots and branches.
A picture involuntarily appeared in Sean's mind.
A giant tree like a mountain broke through the ground, changing the color of the sky and the earth, and cracking the earth. In front of it, the huge city was vulnerable, and human beings were like ants.
The only good news is that it is completely opposite to those shadow mistresses who are committed to destroying the laws of the plane. It is born for protection.
During the growth process, a large number of tree roots and branches separated those cities with more intelligent life gathering places. As the world tree continued to grow, it lifted up the mud and soil together into the air. This city should be one of them.
The city is under siege by an army of Twisted Nightmares.
This is an army of twisted nightmares in the truest sense of the word.
Tens of thousands of twisted nightmares advance and retreat in an orderly manner.
Being able to achieve this level is definitely not something that three or five shadow generals can do.
In addition to at least a dozen shadow generals in the center as the command hub, there should be a more intelligent shadow mastermind in the center to coordinate the overall situation.
Sean also saw those twisted nightmares as soldiers for the first time. What's even more rare is that their appearance is surprisingly similar, giving them the illusion of a race.
These twisted nightmares are all in flight, and they look a bit like a combination of a locust and an octopus. They are slender, with the wings of a locust and a pair of powerful right legs, but the other limbs have become the tentacles of an octopus. As big as a cow.
The body shape is so uniform, 80% of them are twisted from the same species.
And the intelligence of this species is usually not too high.
The reason why the twisted nightmare is twisted is related to the conflict between the minds that exist in the soul itself.
Usually, the more powerful the mind, the longer the resistance to the twisted nightmare formed by intelligent life, the more weird the shape.
On the contrary, those with relatively low intelligence did not change much after turning into twisted nightmares, and even retained some of the colors they had in life.
I don't know if the distorted nightmare of migratory locusts in front of me is caused by locusts distorted.
As for where in the world would there be such a huge locust?
If it is placed on a plane with sound laws of planes, it is naturally impossible for such a monster to be born.
But for a world where the laws of planes have collapsed on a large scale, the world tree supporting a planet has appeared, and there is nothing impossible.
The locusts distort the nightmare like small fighter jets, swooping down in groups, throwing shadow spears at the city they are besieging.
boom! boom! boom!
These shadow-throwing spears have no chance of falling to the city ground at all.
They exploded in mid-air.
A dark green mask emerged.
You don't need to ask to know that 99% of this mask is made by World Tree.
It is used to protect this city that has become a city in the sky.
Without its protection, how could they ascend to an altitude of 10,000 meters without incident?
Without its protection, how would they survive the siege of a large number of twisted nightmares?
But the world tree is dying.
The power to protect them is obviously weakening.
Under the repeated attacks of the army of migratory locusts and twisted nightmares, it is on the verge of collapse and may collapse at any time.
This situation made those migratory locusts distort the nightmare attack more vigorously.
And Sean vaguely seemed to hear desperate whispers from the city. Although the words were in a language Sean had never heard before, he clearly understood the meaning of their words.
This is probably the hands and feet of Goddess Abigail, who endowed herself with the ability to speak the world language all night.
Otherwise, even if Sean met the Abigails, it would be a very headache if he had communication barriers with them.
"It's over, everything is over, we can't perceive the consciousness of the mother tree at all, the power of the mother tree is drying up, it is dying, if there is no protection and support from the mother tree, all of us will die."
"You have the guts to say that we are in this situation all because of the damn mother tree in your mouth, which tore the earth and turned our city into a birdcage, and we have become birds in the cage, now The master is dead, how can we birds be spared."
"You are unreasonable. You are blaming the wrong person. The high priest has already said that the mother tree has no choice but to do so. It's not like you haven't seen the collapse of the sky. If the mother tree doesn't repair the sky, everything will be destroyed." The sea water flows back into the sky, and we are also going to die, not to mention that there are countless nightmares of the dead outside."
"What's the point of arguing about this now? We're all going to die, our souls will be sucked away by those monsters outside, and we'll even become monsters like them. Instead of doing this, I might as well die now."
"Bastard, what are you doing stupid? You are a coward, you will be spurned by the goddess. We haven't reached the most desperate step yet. Didn't the high priest already say that? Although there is a problem with the mother tree, the divine power shield is still there. It should be no problem to support for a few weeks. We have to believe in the priests of the goddess. They must be trying to get in touch with the goddess. The only thing we can do now is to pray, pray that the goddess is safe, provide the power of faith for the goddess, and help her overcome obstacles."
"The Cannon of Faith has been recharged."
"Fire, aim for where they are densest."
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
boom! boom! boom!
Accompanied by bursts of roars, golden cannonballs shot out from the city in the sky.
Passed through the mask above the city without hindrance, got into the formation of the twisted nightmare of the migratory locust, and exploded after hitting the target.
Rows of golden light splashed everywhere.
For the Locust Twisted Nightmare, these golden lights are sharper than knives.
Chi Chi cut them, instantly turning them into shadow energy and dissipating with the wind.
At this time, the discipline and unity and coordination of the migratory locusts distorting the nightmares belonged to the army, and it was revealed.
Accompanied by bursts of commanding screams.
A part of the Flying Twisted Nightmare directly rushed out of the army formation, and charged towards the golden shells.
Obviously using this self-sacrificing method to save more companions.
If there is no mandatory order, the selfish twisted nightmare would never be able to do such a thing.
But those golden cannonballs are obviously not that easy to deal with.
It can turn in the air.
In those golden cannonballs, apart from the power of law and positive energy that Sean is familiar with, there is also a cohesive power of thought.
Those attackers should have remotely controlled the shells in this way.
It's just that this kind of remote control is fine-tuning at best, and there is no way to change the direction as you like.
Therefore, most of the golden cannonballs were intercepted by the cannon fodder sent by the migratory locusts, and only a few landed in the army formation, causing a lot of damage.
The migratory locusts distorted the main formation of the nightmare army, and they continued to attack the city's protective shield endlessly.
The commander of the Army of Locust Twisted Nightmare obviously has the ability to communicate with other Twisted Nightmares at a distance. Every moment, there are new flying Twisted Nightmares joining its army.
According to this posture, the Twisted Nightmare army not only has not been weakened, but has continued to grow.
Breaking through the city's protective shield is only a matter of time.
