Chapter 375 Confrontation

"Hidden so deep? It seems to be really extraordinary. In this case, let's go and see it in person."

After hearing the report from the Shadow Legion, Di Rui immediately became interested. Although he had just rejected the Holy Knight, it did not hinder his thoughts at the moment.

Because even if he planned to go down, he did not plan to go with the Holy Knight. After all, the morality and sense of mission of this kind of group are too high.

It would be very refreshing to let them work for you and clean up the termites in the territory, but working with them would have too many constraints, and many methods would be difficult to use.

The thought moved immediately. When Di Ruier's thought fell, in less than half a quarter of an hour, he appeared in the Altom continent, but at this moment he restrained his own power and walked in the posture of a dragon man on the continent he had never set foot on before.

The Altom continent is one of the five continents in the world of Carlos. It is located at the northernmost end of the world. Its terrain is complex and its climate is changeable. From the permafrost in the north to the Soul Song Forest in the south, from the Red Sun Desert in the west to the prosperous Golden Coastline in the east, the vast territory and rich natural resources have nurtured many powerful races and kingdoms.

However, this vibrant continent is now experiencing a catastrophe that has never happened in ten thousand years. The light mist is floating in the air. Under the sunlight, it reveals a light scarlet, revealing an ominous aura.

"What the hell!"

Di Ruier, who had just stepped on the land, frowned when he saw the almost ubiquitous light red mist. Although dragons can adapt to various extremely harsh environments, with the status of the ancestor dragon, Di Ruier still felt extremely uncomfortable.

Because the moment he stepped on this land, he felt the malice from all directions. This malice is more serious than the suppression of the world's will on him.

The will of the world just doesn't want him to move around, but the malice from all directions is like a primordial beast that hasn't eaten for billions of years, wanting to eat him up.

This is an unconscious greed and desire, spread on everything that can be seen around, and it is precisely because of this that Di Ruier feels extremely uncomfortable.

"If there is no mistake in the mark, it should be located in the northeast of the continent, close to the independent free territory in the middle, adjacent to the Kingdom of Amiloa. It seems that this place should have fallen."

There is a low flat-topped mountain under Di Ruier's feet. Although so, this is already the highest viewing point in the surrounding area, and the scenery of hundreds of miles around can be seen at a glance, but because of the red fog, the visibility is much worse.

But even so, Di Ruier can see that not far from this low mountain, on a relatively flat impact plain, there is a city ruins that no longer has any normal life breath.

"Interesting."

Di Ruier's eyes flashed, and he took a step forward and appeared at the edge of the city ruins. Looking at the miserable scene of this dilapidated city.

The nearly 20-meter-high wall, coupled with the blessing of the alchemical matrix or the magic array, is enough to easily resist the invasion of the giant species, and ordinary ferocious beasts are naturally no problem, and can be ignored.

This is also the reliance of a city to stand on the wasteland. But now, this wall is full of countless gaps of various sizes.

It is a gap destroyed by absolute violence. Some chitinous shells of unknown texture can be seen on the gap. These shells reflect the color of metal under the faint light.

"A crushing massacre!"

On the dilapidated ruins, only blood stains can be seen, which are scattered or splashed. Not to mention corpses, there are no larger pieces of meat. Only in some inconspicuous corners can some broken insect armor and meat scraps be seen.

Even though Diriel had cleansed the city more than once, the scene in front of him still made him feel extremely uncomfortable. After all, no matter how extremely cruel he was, there would still be a large number of residents surviving in the city he cleansed, and it would not be like now, where even slightly larger living things could not be found.

Even if he did not master the exploration spells such as time travel, Diriel could still infer the horror that had happened here based on some remaining details, and he could also understand the despair that the residents of this city had experienced at that time.

"Brainworm, Lord, let me see what these things are!"

Diriel walked into the city. As he went deeper and deeper, the ruins of the dilapidated buildings gradually became a little different. It was not that the specifications of the buildings became taller and more luxurious, but that a layer of fungal blanket similar to moss was attached to the surface of these buildings, but it showed biological characteristics.

The tiny flesh wool was wriggling slightly in the air, and it was unknown what it was absorbing. As Di Ruier approached, the swaying speed of these flesh wools became faster, and dark red particles visible to the naked eye were spewed out, scattered in the air, gradually diluted, and merged with the red mist.

They were the culprits that made the sky and the earth so strange. Under the cover of the red mist, the wriggling speed of these flesh carpets accelerated, gradually engulfing the entire city.

Squeak~

Gah~

Di Ruier walked on the bright red flesh carpet. There was no solid feeling of the earth under his feet. Instead, it was replaced by a flesh texture that was tougher and softer than the carpet. Some weird sounds began to sound in the surrounding ruins and underground, but Di Ruier didn't care.

"That's it?"

Walking into the core area of ​​the city, Di Ruier saw at a glance the huge organism standing in the center of the city square. The part that protruded above the surface was more than 30 meters high, and its surface showed fleshy folds and bulges. Under these tissues, a network like blood vessels could be seen, and there was a dark blue liquid flowing inside.

Dozens of thick tentacles extended from this huge biological structure and danced in the air, but the most terrifying thing was that this already large enough structure was just the tip of the iceberg, and there was an even larger main body hidden underground.

As Di Ruier approached, a series of dim lights lit up from this huge insect nest. These lights came from the holes on the mother nest and the unknown organizational structure embedded on the surface of the mother nest, showing the texture of gemstones.

It was at this time that Di Ruier felt like he was being scrutinized. Unlike the malice and targeting without any subjective consciousness just now, Di Ruier now felt like he was being watched.

This was a feeling he had not experienced for a long time since he was promoted to Legend. There were more than one or two greedy eyes that were scrutinizing him without restraint.

Huh~

A faint mist exploded behind Di Ruier, and the extremely compressed air turned into two air waves behind Di Ruier, spreading to both sides. The atmosphere made a shrill whine - an invisible sharp blade slashed towards Di Ruier's neck.

Clang~

The trembling sound of swords hitting each other sounded, and a visible shock wave spread with the sparks, but it did not infect Di Ruier at all. He did not move at all, because a shadow soldier had already stood behind him, and the sharp blade in his hand was unsheathed, blocking the seemingly invisible attack.

Zhi~

A sharp hissing sound sounded, and a bug beast that looked like a mantis but had four blade arms appeared. It was as tall as a person, and the body structure of the bug made it look like a killing machine rampaging on land.

Hidden hunter!

This is the resistance of the Altrum continent. This is the name for this type of Zerg. It is also one of the most basic arms produced by the Zerg, second only to the number of gold-eating beetles.

Compared with the gold-eating beetles that rush around on the battlefield like land chariots, the hidden hunter is more terrifying because it is an assassination unit among the Zerg. It has no special detection spells and its existence cannot be observed by the naked eye.

If a large number of hidden hunters appear on the battlefield, it is very easy to cause panic in the battle line and cause the battle line to collapse in a very short time.

However, the shadow soldiers have never known what fear is. The creatures that master the power of shadows have always been the best assassins. Facing the Zerg monsters that are also good at stealth, it cannot be said that they are evenly matched, but can only be said to be bullying the big with the small.

The creatures that can be selected and transformed into shadow soldiers must have at least been of the gold rank in their lifetime. Not all the trash can be sent to the shadow kingdom under the world tree, so that the great wizard Bai Ren will spend energy to preside over the transformation ceremony for them.

The invisible Zerg assassination troops are indeed a nightmare for ordinary soldiers, but for the shadow soldiers of the lowest gold level, they are just small monsters that can be easily killed.

When the shadow soldier who took the initiative to appear behind Di Ruier and blocked the knife for him swung the second sword, the secret hunter who dared to attack Di Ruier had become minced meat scattered on the ground, and even the palm-sized organization could not be found.

However, when one Zerg fell, more Zerg stood up, gold-eating beetles, swift snakes, venom shooters, secret hunters, lava beasts... Zergs that made the resistance palpitate emerged from the ruins of the city and underground.

In the blink of an eye, there were hundreds and thousands, and the number was even increasing rapidly. It seemed that if there was a need, the whole city would come alive and turn into a Zerg ocean to drown everything. In fact, it was not far from that at this moment.

However, Di Ruier, who still had the leisure to look at the Zerg mother nest, had a viscous liquid like black oil appearing under his feet. It spread rapidly. Wherever the black oil passed, the bright red fungal carpet withered instantly. The same powerful shadow creatures walked out from Di Ruier's feet, as if they were connected to the shadow dimension.

A war broke out in the blink of an eye. The shadow soldiers, who had no concept of death, waved their swords or claws to slaughter the Zerg that could easily abuse the short-lived army.

Hundreds of Zerg fell in an instant, but more Zerg surged out from the ground. Huge lava beasts that could easily knock down the city walls emerged one after another. They tilted the flames and roared, causing visible ripples in the air.

"I see."

Since seeing the Zerg nest, Di Ruier's footsteps have never moved a step from beginning to end. All the details of this war that broke out with him as the center are under his control.

He could see the hidden hunter that was the first to die under the sword of the shadow soldier. The minced meat it scattered was absorbed by the fungal carpet the moment it touched the ground. The converted biomass was transported to the insect nest in front of him to be used to re-create and hatch insect eggs.

This process was incredibly fast. From recycling to hatching a lively Zerg, it took no more than half an hour. Perhaps the Zerg had the advantage of fighting at home, but such recycling efficiency and production speed were extremely severe challenges for almost all short-lived species on the continent.

When fighting against such an opponent, unless one has an absolute superiority in force at the beginning of the battle and sweeps them all away with thunderous force, leaving no residue behind, otherwise the war will be delayed and the war will turn into a war of attrition. Almost no force can More expensive than the Zerg.

Even if the territory run by Tyrell himself encounters an invasion by the Zerg, Tyrell does not dare to say that it can do better than the local resistance forces in the Altom continent.

The reason why he can look down at the Zerg in this city from a high position is because the Zerg in this city cannot breed Zerg that can threaten him, and even if the shadow soldiers under his command are defeated, their shadow bodies are destroyed. , it’s not a big deal, the Zerg won’t get any biomass supplement in this process.

"It's not 100% recycling. There is also loss during the recycling and reproduction process."

Tyrell's gaze was like a torch, and his gaze could penetrate all obstacles. The overall structure of the brood nest appeared in his eyes, and he could roughly see the operation mode of the brood nest clearly.

"Maybe not so invincible."

In just a moment, Tyrell had several ideas for fighting against the Zerg. The first choice was naturally the undead. However, the numerical advantage of the undead was a disadvantage when facing the Zerg. The number of undead with a slightly higher rank could be said to be overwhelming. A cliff-like fall.

But even so, the undead are indeed the most suitable choice to fight against the Zerg, because no matter how efficient the Zerg's utilization of energy is, they can't squeeze anything out of the bones that have been eroded by negative energy for many years.

Apart from the undead, the other option is the golem army, but the golem army is not as good as the undead, because the cost of the golem is too high and the cost performance is extremely low. Moreover, the golem needs energy to drive, and the Zerg can also profit from it. .

Elemental creatures are also not suitable. Slightly stronger elemental creatures will leave crystal nuclei after death, which can also allow the Zerg to fight to support the war.

The best choice should be to strengthen the wall and clear the field, and then gather a group of strong people to continuously harass and attack the Zerg, kill the intelligent Zerg, and destroy the production hub like the Zerg Hive.
