Chapter 2672: The Implosion of the "Red Star" (Part 2)
The rich pollution emerging from the cracks is more like a different kind of flame, with strong corrosiveness. Although it is not enough to burn the roots of the world tree, it seems to have repulsive properties, which can make the intertwined root network dissolve and loosen, and then Little by little let the crack itself expand.
Artificial reinforcement work plays a certain role, at least by "feeding" the polluting organisms. The rhizomes around the cracks are growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Just like the self-healing ability of the surgeon, a layer of blood scab is formed as much as possible. If you want to remove it, Crack wrapping followed by thorough restoration.
The extremely strong pollution completely blocked the self-healing process. Rather than saying that the growing rhizomes are delaying the expansion of the crack, it is better to think of them as artificially creating more rhizomes to create a weak defensive wall so that the spread of the "fire" will not appear strong.
In other words, when a fire breaks out, an extremely large amount of wood can be used to suppress the source of the fire. It's just that the prerequisite of "extremely large number" is not easy to meet.
There are also several induction force field light spots in the crack that are almost covered by the pollution smoke. Several surgeons can be vaguely seen among them - they are installing a pollution suppression device, a kind of pollution suppression device developed by the Avalon Agency and the top of the empire. Instruments produced by research institutions. The core material is the fragments of the ancient historical World Tree.
But it's just a small piece, smaller than the tip of a baby's little finger, and it can barely play a role in preventing pollution from spewing out from the entire crack, but only from above.
"The replacement cycle is getting faster and faster." In the thick pollution, several people who installed the suppression device slowly evacuated. They all wear additional protective equipment, which are protective suits sewn from the skin of captive dragon species, coupled with their own bioelectric induction field, which can reduce the erosion of pollution. However, the protective clothing itself is also a consumable item and will turn into a contaminated protective clothing after a certain period of time.
"The first time I remember, it was only replaced every two weeks, but this time it has been shortened to five days. The same goes for protective clothing. It could be worn for more than an hour before, but this time it takes less than ten minutes. In order to replace the suppression device, we have changed it several times. We have to wear clothes. But the suppression device deep in the crack has to be abandoned. In our state, we can't go deep into it." Someone from the returning members answered.
"Will the next replacement be made by members from the extreme field?"
"Who knows? We can't go any further. The danger warning line is approaching the exit again and again. Once the warning line is exceeded, the spiritual world will directly dim, mold will grow on the ground, and large areas of plants will die. I don't want to experience it a second time. That's not the case. A relaxing experience, truly feeling that death is so close to me." The voice was full of lingering fear, "How do you think the extreme field surgeons deal with the pollution? According to the intelligence, many of the enemies are even actively absorbing it. The pollution is used, and it doesn’t look strange.”
The person who spoke may have just sighed, but the next moment he noticed several stares and stopped talking.
The captain of several people reminded him at this time, which was also a verbal warning: "Don't have dangerous thoughts. We all have experienced the spiritual world being eroded. As long as we know what it means to be polluted, it is enough. There is indeed a way to improve spiritual power. In this way, the spiritual world is slightly eroded, triggering the defense and repair mechanisms, thereby increasing the strength of the spiritual body, and good results can be achieved after a certain cycle. "
Speaking of this, the captain couldn't help but increase his voice, "This process is all done under supervision, and there is a treatment facility next to it. It is of course safe. But if you do it alone, you can go through the five stages of the surgery. They are all absolute powerhouses in all eras and groups. However, I still remind everyone that under pollution, our status as absolute powerhouses seems to have no effect. After all, facing the god-like World Tree in ancient history, we can only do so. It will be a bunch of branches on it, not a big one."
Several people shrugged, indicating that they understood and expressed their gratitude.
"Boom!" In the sound of knocking, a member hit the solid ice under his feet with the metal shell of the replaced suppression device.
"Stop knocking. This layer of ice is one of the main reasons for blocking pollution. It is said that it was created by an extreme field surgeon and it helped a lot. Otherwise, there would have been many more people waiting outside the crack to clean up the contaminated creatures. Times. Although it is not that easy to crack." The captain was helpless. It seemed that he had knocked it before, maybe more than once.
The members who knocked on the ice sighed with emotion: "Who do you think the surgeon could be who created this layer of ice? It obviously belongs to the power of the giant whale group. But within the empire, there is really no such thing. There is a powerful surgeon who uses the power of the giant whale swarm."
"Do you think, who is more powerful compared to this extreme field surgeon and Master Kress? When Master Kress came here to clean up the first batch of powerful polluted creatures, he had an ultimate alloy spear in one hand and a An extremely metal dagger that can clean up polluted creatures as quickly as it can cut down a fixed target.”
"It seems that Master Kress should be more powerful!"
"Well, I think so." Several people agreed, because they had actually seen the battle between Chris and the polluted creatures. Only the captain was hesitant. After thinking about it, he didn't agree. He said "hmm" and stopped talking.
Several people continued to walk forward, preparing to go to the location of the next suppression device. Untimely "click" sounds sounded, and each sound struck deep into their hearts.
The man who struck the ice was frozen in place. He turned around with great difficulty and looked at the striking point more than ten meters away. Seeing a smooth surface, he suddenly relaxed. But the next moment, the relaxed mood was immediately replaced by fear. He saw a spider-web-like crack spreading from the depths of the crack. In the blink of an eye, it passed under his feet and quickly expanded towards the exit of the crack.
At this time, several people looked at each other and saw the surprise and panic in each other's eyes.
"It's definitely not me!" The member who struck the ice was very scared and hurriedly distanced himself from the cracks on the ice.
"I know it's not you!" The captain said in a deep voice. He looked into the depths of the crack, but immediately became alert and looked up to observe the air. "Don't you think the surroundings have become much brighter?"
The rest of the people only realized this at this time. For some reason, the several induction field light spots used for lighting did become much brighter at this moment. There was almost no time to hesitate. They immediately reacted. It was not that the light spots became brighter, but that the dense pollution became thinner, and the impact on the bioelectric induction field was much weaker.
The next moment, before anyone else could respond to the captain's words, the faint pollution had suddenly disappeared completely, making the induction field light spot illuminate the surroundings.
Deep in the crack, a pair of huge eyes with gray-white fluorescence lit up, and the intertwined pure black cross pupils were looking at them.
"Run!" Before the voice and the suppression device landed, the afterimages of several people left in the original place began to dissipate.
The dozen people working around the crack exit also discovered the abnormality.
The thick pollution like flames disappeared.
