Chapter 587 The Melee on the Ground

The flying mutated creatures rushed into Crystal City first.

Seen from a distance, these flying mutant creatures are all raptors with a wingspan of more than two meters, and some even reach four or five meters.

Fortunately, Xu Xin did not see the existence of pterosaurs in these flying mutated creatures.

From this point of view, there should be no advanced mutant creatures in this herd.

At least not yet.

This is good news.

Because of this level of herd, they are fully capable of stopping it!

"Everyone, pay attention to the sky, the flying mutated creatures have entered Crystal City, and they are approaching soon!" Xu Xin said in the group.

The situation on the ground is not optimistic either.

The beast horde that originally surrounded the Crystal City had completely poured into the Crystal City at this time.

On the map in his mind, the part of Crystal City has been completely covered by red dots!

Under the siege of such a large group, the more than two hundred survivors in Crystal City were already stretched thin to deal with the creatures on the ground, and they also had to face the beasts that jumped up from time to time to destroy the heavy crossbows.

It is really difficult for them to distract them from attacking the flying creatures in the sky.

"this……!"

"I might manage to take care of the sky!"

"I will attack the sky with a heavy crossbow!"

Sure enough, after seeing Xu Xin's words, they were also a little confused.

Xu Xin immediately said: "Prioritize attacking the ground beasts and clearing out the number of ground beasts! I want you to pay attention to the mutated creatures in the sky and don't let them cause damage to you, the tree house and the heavy crossbow!"

"Understood!"

"I still have half the ammo! Enough to last a while!"

"You used it too fast! I still have more than half of it!"

"Save ammunition! Aim at dense locations to attack, so that every round of ammunition has the greatest effect!"

"I'm in charge of this street to the east! Our bombing ranges don't overlap!"

"Then I can send out one to attack the big bird in the sky!"

Without the members of the explorers saying anything, this group of survivors spontaneously started to carry out the most effective attack and planning on the herd!

After all, they are the survivors who have lived to the present, and they are still the best in District 1 and District 188. This group of people has long been old fritters in the survival world.

What to do does not require them to direct at all.

The speed of flying mutated creatures is much faster than that of mutated creatures on the ground, and it even far exceeds the speed of mutated creatures underground.

In just a few dozen seconds, it has crossed half of Crystal City and completely approached the World Tree.

However, when they flew into Crystal City, a small part fell directly.

They are the larger group of mutant creatures!

"Affected by the Crystal City!" Xu Xin immediately thought of the principle and reminded in [Explorer], "These flying mutant creatures are not completely without the blood of giant beasts!"

It seemed that the opponent had not found a sufficient number of flying mutant creatures without giant beast bloodline, so a group of flying creatures with relatively thin giant beast bloodline were mixed into the group.

They may also want to try to see if they will not be affected by Crystal City at high altitude, but unfortunately, according to Afu's test, as long as they can see, they will be affected, and the raptor's vision range is far beyond Humans and other mammals basically fell in large numbers as soon as they entered the scope of Crystal City.

Within a few seconds after entering Crystal City, the entire flying army lost half of the ten.

But the remaining flying mutated biological groups were not affected at all. They came quickly, directly passed the heavy crossbow defense line of two hundred survivors, and swooped towards the World Tree!

Their target is the trunk of the world tree, not the crown.

The tree canopy is too lush and vast, almost covering half of Crystal City. It would be a huge project to completely destroy the tree canopy, not to mention that the tree canopy can repair itself. The speed of their destruction may not be as fast as the repair. speed.

The other party knew very well that only by destroying the trunk could the World Tree be destroyed, and attacking the crown was useless.

As a result, all the flying mutated creatures did not attract the slightest attention from the crown of the tree. Instead, they flew directly under the crown of the World Tree and swooped towards the trunk.

The speed is too fast!

At this moment, three raptors suddenly flew out of the window of Wen Guixin's tree house, and flew quickly towards the flying herd!

Just like three fighter planes taking off from the ground, they climbed towards the enemy fighter group swooping in the sky!

Moreover, their goal is also very simple, which is to hit them!

If you hurt the opponent, you earn it!

The flying mutant creatures did not surround the World Tree like the ground mutant creatures. They flew collectively from the north of Crystal City. The overall formation was like geese flying south, showing a standard herringbone.

This formation is to reduce the overall flight resistance.

Usually the leader is the strongest and the most tired.

The three birds of prey flying out of the window of Wen Guixin's tree house were aiming at the tip of the herringbone formation!

In an instant, three birds of prey crashed into the enemy's flying formation. The entire formation of the flying mutant creatures was directly disrupted. Sharp bird calls sounded and feathers flew around!

Among the group of explorers, Wen Guixin spoke: "What are you doing standing still! Hurry and blast them!"

As she spoke, the treehouse repeating crossbow on her treehouse began to exert its power, scattering dozens of explosive crossbow bolts into the air in an instant!

At the same time, explosive crossbow bolts also scattered from several other tree houses!

To deal with targets in the air, it doesn't make sense to use heavy or super-heavy crossbows. Explosive crossbows are the most suitable!

But the mutant raptor is very flexible in the air, and it is not so easy to hit it.

More than half of the explosive crossbow bolts were dodged by the mutated raptors in the air, and fell into the mutated creature group on the ground.

And under the cover of exploding crossbow bolts all over the sky, after all, a small part of them directly hit the mutated birds of prey in the air!

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

The double explosions on the ground and in the air made the surroundings of the World Tree instantly illuminated by the fire extremely brightly!

For a moment, it seemed as if fireworks were being set off under the World Tree, accompanied by feathers all over the sky, and even a little beautiful.

And the mutated raptors affected by the air explosion fell from the air, and large pieces fell from the air.

But there are still some that have not been affected, they completely ignore the others, and rushed towards the World Tree at an extremely fast speed!

Then brushed over the trunk of the World Tree, the sharp claws were like sharp knives, scraping across the trunk of the World Tree!

"嗗——————!"

Such voices kept ringing in Xu Xin's ears!

Every bird of prey left a mark several meters long and half a foot deep on the trunk of the World Tree!

For a time, the trunk of the World Tree was riddled with holes!

Fortunately, the diameter of the entire trunk is ten meters, even if it is half a foot deep, it does not penetrate the bark of the world tree.

However, the raptors that skimmed over the trunk of the World Tree and caused considerable damage to the World Tree drew a circle in the air, and swooped back to the trunk of the World Tree again!

"Hey———!"

"Hey———!"

In an instant, around the trunk of the World Tree, countless raptors were like flies around rotten fruits, flying back and forth crazily, and each flight would scratch several meters of the trunk of the World Tree!

Moreover, they were very disciplined and began to attack a certain position.

In a few seconds, the main attack position was drawn more than a dozen times in a row, forming a gully four or five meters long, more than ten centimeters wide, and one foot deep!

If this continues, even if the world tree is rough and thick, it will not be able to stand it!

And the members of the explorers around the world tree began to hesitate when pointing to the control panel.

This group of mutated raptors is too close to the trunk of the World Tree. If they are shot through, the damage to the World Tree will be even greater!

It is simply a thousand injuries to the enemy and a thousand losses to oneself!

Fortunately, before they could think of a better way, the heart of the plant showed its power in the blink of an eye.

Under the influence of the world tree, the height that the vines controlled by the plant heart can attack directly doubled!

The original plant heart vines were at most a dozen meters long, but now, they stabbed straight to the height of 20 to 30 meters!

Countless vines drilled out of the ground, like a bamboo forest rising from the ground, directly piercing half of the flying raptors flying in the air!

In addition, the vines are extremely flexible, and the number of mutated raptors dropped by nearly half again when they were pierced through the air.

Under such a crisis, the remaining birds of prey no longer focused on attacking the trunk of the tree house, but screamed and climbed rapidly!

Originally, they chose to attack at a position nearly thirty meters above the ground, but now, in order to avoid the attack of the plant vines, they had to fly to a higher area.

However, they still did not choose to stop attacking and flee, but changed to another area, aimed at the height of the World Tree trunk about 70 meters, and started attacking wildly again!

But this time, the vines controlled by the plant heart couldn't reach it.

Each of them stretched straight up like bamboo, but their length reached the limit at fifty meters.

The vines controlled by the heart of these plants swung a few times in the air, and finally could only retract downwards in despair.

"Give it to me!"

In the tree house on the side, Wen Guixin put her hands on the window sill, poked her head out, and shouted loudly into the air.

Immediately, the infected raptors quickly gathered around and rushed towards the group of uninfected guys!

In just a few tens of seconds, the three birds of prey released by Wen Guixin had already infected most of the mutated creatures that came flying this time!

And this group of infested raptors climbed up and rushed towards the group of raptors that were madly attacking the World Tree at a height of 70 meters!

There are more of them than the enemy!

The end result is obvious.

This group of raptors was wiped out.

Either he was bombarded to death by the explosive crossbow, or he was pierced to death by the heart of a plant, or he was directly infected by Wen Guixin's ability, and he could only wait to die under control.

And the battle on the ground has a tendency to end.

The balance of victory has already begun to tilt towards them.

Not many mutated creatures on the main ground can cross the gully, and these guys are really hard to fight against the vines that drilled out of the ground crazily, and few of them reached the trunk of the World Tree.

Even if it is achieved, after one or two attacks on the tree trunk, it will be pierced by several vines, and then sucked into a mummy, which becomes the nourishment for the heart of the plant.

And the main enemy that the herd of beasts in the back had to face was their own people who rebelled after being infected by Wen Guixin's ability.

The "infighting" of the herd directly made the scene extremely bloody and chaotic.

In the treehouses around the World Tree, most people have exhausted their ammunition, watching the farce near their treehouses.

The newcomers were a little confused.

"What's the situation, why did these guys fight by themselves?"

"Why are there so many rebellions? And it seems... there are more rebels than non-rebels?"

"Haha, don't you guys understand? This is our sister Gui Xin's ability!"

"When I saw the herd of beasts attacked by the enemy this time, I felt that the defense was no pressure at all!"

"That's right, with Sister Guixin here, the herd of beasts are here to deliver food!"

In the [Crystal City Survivors] group, everyone is discussing.

Because they have all stopped their actions, even if it is ammunition and the remaining survivors, they have all stopped.

In the current scene, they no longer need to attack.

Xu Xin looked at the ground outside the window and once again marveled at Wen Guixin's ability.

too strong.

Really too strong.

Although she already knew the power of her ability to the herd, but seeing it with her own eyes again, she still couldn't help being amazed.

This time, if there is no Wen Guixin's ability to cover the whole situation, I am afraid they will not be able to keep this world tree at all.

The mutated biological groups on the ground and in the air alone are enough to destroy the world tree!

At this time, his watch vibrated again, it was Qin Fu calling.

"Boss, those guys who drill holes under the ground are less than 500 meters away from the World Tree. But their speed has slowed down a little now, and their movements are much lighter. It feels like they don't want people on the ground to find out. they."

This is really wanting to steal the house secretly, and actually want to lower the voice.

The sound was indeed low enough, mixed in with the chaotic battle on the ground, even though Xu Xin now had hearing aids, she still didn't perceive the abnormal movement below the ground at all.

If there is really no difference to their actions, let them secretly dig under the World Tree, pick off or destroy the core of the tree house...

The group of them may have been hit by defeat suddenly just when they were rejoicing to win.

That's so ironic.

Fortunately, under the observation of Qin Fu's ability, they can already see the movements below the ground at a glance.

"How far are they from the ground?"

"Five meters, just like before, not far from the ground. They came from all directions and dug out... twenty-three passages. In each passage, there are two creatures the size of tigers and leopards."

In other words, a total of forty-six.

This amount is not too much, but underground, it is not too little.

Fortunately, each of them will be dug directly out of the ravine at a depth of five meters, so that the explorer members can directly attack the ravine and kill them.

Their abacus of wanting to steal the house is meaningless.

And at this moment, in the Explorer Channel, Ji Zhaoyang suddenly posted a sentence.

"East of Crystal City! Behemoth!"

What? !

Xu Xin turned her head and looked towards the east.

That's where his tree house used to be.

Then, his pupils shrank suddenly.

I saw, in the east, a huge... dinosaur, running towards the Crystal City!

……Dinosaur? !
