Chapter 1228 Tower of Hearthfire
The heat wave rolled, debris scattered, and the shock wave generated by the big explosion tore apart this long-quiet plain. Those decayed or twisted materials were indiscriminately annihilated into dust by the big explosion, and the corrupted monsters running around this land They also disappeared into ashes.
At the center of all the explosions, the smoke and dust formed a vortex and gradually dispersed. Hao Ren walked out of the vortex with rising heat all over his body. The rigid shield on his body shone brightly, and the halo generated by the conflict between order and chaos It spread several meters around him.
In fact, he does not need sacred objects such as the Talisman of Order to walk in the chaos here, and even create a large-scale order environment, because he himself is already the highest divinity in the world (except for the goddess of creation whose whereabouts are unknown) ), as the direct spokesperson of another true god, he can actually generate a force field similar to the golden war flag in the chaotic realm of this "Kolo World", and this time he takes the initiative to lure away the monsters. The important task is actually to temporarily avoid Veronica's sight to verify his situation.
This situation of "being in a holy place" is too shocking, and he has not yet decided whether to show this characteristic in front of the locals.
Veronica probably thought that he had to carry some ancient "talisman of order" with him to move freely in the realm of chaos.
Hao Ren looked at the halo spreading around him and the faintly visible bright silver lines in the halo. If he continued to extend his sight, he could see that the burnt monster corpse fragments were weathering rapidly, and the weathered matter was A way that was completely inconsistent with common sense of physics gradually became part of the surrounding environment, and soon completely disappeared.
The power of small nuclear bombs is indeed very powerful.
He squatted next to a piece of wreckage that was gradually dissipating, and muttered to himself while inspecting it: "The boundary between entity and non-entity is very blurry. After losing restraint, it will be quickly assimilated by the surrounding environment, including the remaining material parts... According to the wreckage Judging from the cross-section, its internal physiological structure has completely lost its meaning. All these monsters do not rely on the internal organs in their bodies to maintain their activities. Their power source may be a third-party energy source such as magic... The bones have a black crystal structure, which is temporarily unavailable. Understand the connection between this structure and the so-called 'chaos'..."
After the wreckage dissipated, Hao Ren raised his head and looked at the vast darkness.
An unprecedented feeling of loneliness surged in his heart. He was very uncomfortable with his current situation: his partners were no longer around for various reasons, and even the mental connection to the data terminal had become extremely weak. He fell into this world alone. In the weird "Khloe World", this time the situation is more unsettling than ever before.
But he came back to his senses after being stunned for a while, and did not let the temporary loneliness and uneasiness shake his heart.
The surrounding fog seemed thicker, and some low roars reached his ears from all directions. Hao Ren immediately increased his vigilance and clenched his plasma spear in his hand: he knew that the corrupted monsters were still there, and their number was definitely greater than the ones he had just eliminated. many.
The big explosion just now seemed huge, but the power of the corrupted monsters was not as fragile as he imagined. Many monsters withstood the shock wave at the edge of the explosion, and even more monsters used their strong instincts and speed before the explosion. Fleeing the scene, less than one-fifth of the thousands of monsters were actually killed, and more monsters were only temporarily dispersed into the thick darkness. Now these corruptors are surrounding them again, and this time, if they want to fight again, It will obviously be difficult to pull them into a wave of A.
Although corrupted monsters have no reason, their instincts as predators are terrifyingly strong.
Hao Ren looked at the shining rigid shield on his body. One-third of the shield's capacity had been consumed in the chase just now. This world of Koro is not simple. Even if you are a censor, if you want to go on a rampage with a shield and weapons, it may not work.
He paid attention to the movements in the dark mist, and at the same time released several autonomous machines from his portable space, preparing to deal with the next wave of attacks.
At this moment, a beam of light lit up from behind and suddenly dispelled the darkness, interrupting his movements and attracting the attention of the monsters in the darkness.
I saw a bright light suddenly shining in the ruins of the town. This light pointed straight into the sky like the mythical Tower of Babel, and tore a big hole in the ink-colored clouds floating in the sky. Under the cover of the light beam, , the broken walls of the town gradually became crystal clear, and the originally invisible ancient runes on the stones became brighter one by one, and turned into a temporary barrier in the Land of Order. A translucent shield-like light shield formed over the city. It shook slightly and then became stable.
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, and the word "furnace" flashed through his mind.
It turns out that this is what the thing looks like after it is started.
Waves of monster roars interrupted his thoughts.
The light above the ruins of the town illuminated the surrounding areas. In the light, the corrupted monsters that had been hiding in the darkness emerged one by one. These monsters that had become accomplices of Chaos covered their eyes in pain under the bright light, and their whole bodies were covered with risk. Black smoke billowed out, but in this extreme pain, none of these monsters turned around and ran away. On the contrary -
As Veronica and Morian said, these corrupted monsters were attracted to Symmetra.
They turned around and rushed towards the town, like moths to a flame.
Hao Ren had heard about the "habits" of this monster from Veronica before, but he was still shocked after seeing it. He had seen all kinds of ferocious and terrifying monsters, but the entire group of monsters was burning and rushing towards the light. The sight of the barrier was something I had never seen before. He saw those ugly creatures with thick smoke falling apart as they ran. Black matter fell out from the cracks in their bodies, igniting a series of flames on the ground. The monsters were burned by the light of Symposium in agony. As they ran wildly, they let out screams that made their scalp numb - but even so, they still rushed towards the light curtain under the Tower of Fire without hesitation, as if all pain could not stop them.
And Hao Ren, who was their number one enemy just a moment ago, was no longer paying attention to him at this time.
The monsters turned a blind eye and ran past Hao Ren, not even a single one turning around. Hao Ren saw this chaotic army running towards the ruins of the town, and almost in the blink of an eye, his surroundings became empty. He was stunned for a moment, and then caught He picked up his spear and chased after him.
Thousands of monsters rushed into the order light curtain, 70% of them died on the road, and a small number were killed by Hao Ren who fired cold shots from behind.
They rushed toward the fire while burning. When these monsters appeared in Veronica's field of vision, there were basically only a hundred or so skeletons that were about to be burned to ashes, waiting for the knights in the square. They cooperated with Hao Ren to eliminate these fragile enemies with almost no effort.
Hao Ren returned to Veronica. Except for the heavy consumption of the shield, he could be said to be unscathed. Veronica looked at him in surprise: "You must have been the most powerful warrior in the temple back then. I have never heard of anyone being able to accomplish such a feat as easily as you did today.”
"Ah, just so-so," Hao Ren waved his hand perfunctorily, frowning at the piles of ashes in the square, "These monsters are just... dead? Most of them simply died of suicide."
"Corrupted monsters are pathetic creatures," Veronica lowered her eyes. "Actually, it's easy to destroy them. Just use Symmetra to make a trap. They will always rush in regardless of their own safety...their souls of these creatures corrupted by Chaos. Deep down there is still the last trace of yearning for order, but they have fallen too deep and are hopeless.”
Hao Ren shook his head and turned to look at the tower of fire behind them that was emitting thousands of rays of light.
The rock square tower was now fully operational. Countless golden runes lit up the originally dark tower. The hollow structure at the bottom of the square tower was filled with light, as if there was a real flame burning inside. A bright beam of light emitted from the top of the square tower - this was the light seen outside the ruins before.
Standing next to the Tower of Fire, Hao Ren could clearly feel that the unpleasant "aura of chaos" in the wilderness had completely dissipated. He could breathe smoothly and feel refreshed here. This was the feeling of being in a place of order.
He nodded: "With this thing, I can rest assured."
"But this fire can only last for a short while," Veronica glanced at Hao Ren, "It has burned out. This place is in the hinterland of chaos. The dark side of Karnos completely envelopes this place. The fire The tower will not be replenished by the power of order, and the sourceless fire cannot last long. I use my own blood to light the fire, and it can only last for two hours at most."
Hao Ren suddenly understood why Veronica and her knights were still going to find the holy mountain Cassuan even though there was such a powerful holy object in the wilderness: it turned out that they wanted to maintain order in the realm of chaos. The ground is so difficult.
"By the way, have you discovered anything through your research?" Hao Ren looked at Veronica.
The purpose of Princess Knight's action was to understand the reason for the strange behavior of the corrupted monsters. When Hao Ren came back, he saw the old knight Morian checking something next to the base of the tower, while several knights were checking He was curious about what clues the other party could find out about the remains of the monsters that had not completely dissipated.
