Chapter 554 Confrontation

Deep in the scarlet waves.

The war between the Blood Sea and Guixu is still going on.

On one side are the seemingly endless Blood Sea creatures.

On the other side is the mechanical legion with the war fortress as the core, various void warships and original warriors as the main force.

Neither side gave in, and they killed each other, forming a giant flesh and blood millstone, harvesting and devouring life with extremely terrifying efficiency every moment.

Guixu's combat plan is very regular, basically with eight to ten mechanical warships as a team, supplemented by a large number of mechanical original warriors.

Often relying on the super battlefield situation perception ability, find the most suitable breakthrough, and then suddenly lock a certain area, first with mechanical warships to carry out concentrated fire coverage attack, and then send a large number of mechanical warriors to clean up and occupy.

In terms of mobility, the Blood Sea creatures are not as good as the Guixu Legion, but they are better in number. Whenever a military formation discovers the movement trajectory of the warship, it will be surrounded and killed.

In the end, it is quantitative change that causes qualitative change.

Or quality ignores quantity.

This is a difficult question to answer.

Although several large-scale battles have been fought, no one can give a definite answer.

As time goes by, the balance gradually begins to shift towards the direction of the Blood Sea creatures.

After all, compared with the Guixu Legion, which has traveled a long way, they have the advantage of time and place, which is definitely a huge home advantage.

After that, the Blood Sea tribes immediately launched a more fierce offensive.

They spared no expense and quickly raised the intensity of the war to more than one level.

Despite huge casualties, they also achieved considerable results.

A total of hundreds of void warships were completely destroyed, including several giant warships.

The number of other annihilated original warriors is countless, so many that there is no way to count the results.

Even the war fortress that is as big as a mountain has suffered a lot of impact in the fearless offensive of the Blood Sea tribe. At the most dangerous time, it was only one step away from breaking the barrier.

"Why haven't the reinforcements of the war fortress arrived yet?"

"If this continues, we will be wiped out and all the belongings of the expeditionary army will be lost in the sea of ​​blood."

In the central control hall, a white-haired old man checked the reported war damage figures, and his face showed an anxious look that could not be concealed.

He took a deep breath and spoke again with a puzzled tone, "I don't know what the head of the family is thinking. The current situation is obviously at a critical moment, but he still asked us to capture and collect a large number of those sea of ​​blood monsters.

You know, it is more than ten times more difficult to capture them alive than to kill them. Basically, this task alone involves an unknown amount of combat power."

The middle-aged woman next to him said, "According to the time node calculation, the second Guixu Fortress should have arrived here long ago, but they haven't appeared until now. Is it difficult that something went wrong halfway?"

She was still talking, but her heart jumped suddenly.

A scarlet light suddenly lit up in front of her, and it was so dazzling that she couldn't look directly at it.

There was also a heart-pounding mental pressure that suddenly erupted without any warning at this time.

It was invisible and intangible, but it formed a mental storm that swept everything in an instant, covering the entire battle area.

This power swept in like a hurricane, and the scattered energy fluctuations were like a storm, destroying everything wantonly.

In an instant, dozens of mechanical warships lost control and crashed under the alternating blood-colored waves.

"Is this feeling the will of the sea of ​​blood that the Heart of the Original Thing once sensed!?"

She raised her hand to wipe the blood from her lips, and her already gloomy expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

"The real war between the two worlds has only just begun."

"Start the fortress origin crystal core, establish a connection with the heart of the original thing, and start preparing for synchronization."

The white-haired old man quickly calmed down and issued the order at the first time.

"Xiao Cheng, you stay here to command the battle, I need to go to the origin crystal core to connect with the heart of the original thing."

He left the control hall in a hurry after saying a word, and rushed to the core of the fortress at the fastest speed.

Boom!!!

A moment later, the war fortress that spanned the depths of the blood sea lit up with an inky light, and an extremely powerful spiritual wave burst out from the core, spreading to the entire bloody battlefield in an instant.

The collision and annihilation of two completely different forces opened up a head-on confrontation in another dimension.

At the same time, accompanied by the increasingly majestic blood-colored waves, batches of blood-colored creatures rushed forward fearlessly, and the nearly endless number made people's scalps numb.

They were like sharp knives, piercing deeply into the depths of the areas occupied by the Guixu monks.

Boom!

A large number of original warriors deployed their formations and appeared in the airspace below the warships, meeting the blood-colored creatures that were overwhelming and killing.

Time passed bit by bit.

The confrontation that broke out again showed no signs of stopping, but became more and more bloody and tragic.

Countless lives died every second, and all kinds of broken parts, limbs and arms almost filled the surging blood-colored waves.

"Huh!?"

"What is that!?"

In the fortress control hall, the middle-aged woman's eyes suddenly focused, and she quickly zoomed in on the screen in front of her, showing the details of the area at the edge of the battlefield.

She frowned and stared at a certain place for a long time without moving her eyes.

What surprised her was that those things without head and tail, like long snakes, could move freely in the superposition of two power systems.

Even in the area where the two forces were fiercely colliding, these monsters showed strong adaptability.

They were not affected much from beginning to end.

After a deeper observation, the middle-aged woman became more and more surprised and puzzled.

Those things covered with thick scales and sharp bone spurs, in addition to being able to move freely in two completely different power attribute systems, could also absorb and devour at the same time.

Whether it was the chaotic aura of Guixu or the power of the endless sea of ​​blood, those ugly things could actually absorb and utilize them.

After devouring and absorbing the power of different attributes, it seemed as if they were directly integrated into their bodies and completely used by themselves.

"Incredible creation, what kind of life is this?"

"I thought they were some strange blood sea creatures, but after careful observation, I found that they seemed not to be."

"These snake-like tentacles not only fought with the original warriors, but also devoured them after destroying them, and even fed on the blood sea creatures, which means that they are not on both sides and are enemies of both us and the blood sea."

"So, what are they!?"

The middle-aged woman felt inexplicable emotions in her heart, and immediately gave an order to send a reconnaissance ship to investigate the details.

A warship quietly left the fortress and sank into the scarlet waves.

After the obscure and dark light flashed, it disappeared without a sign.

When it appeared again, it had passed through the bloody and tragic battlefield and came to the outer edge.

Soon after the reconnaissance warship set off, the blood sea creatures had already discovered its existence, and several elite battle formations were urgently mobilized, waiting for an order to intercept and attack.

But as the movement of the reconnaissance ship became more obvious, the elite battle formations suddenly stopped and stayed in place to wait and see.

The fierce battle on both sides continued.

But at this moment, both the Guixu War Fortress and the high-level Blood Sea Creatures all shifted their attention to the edge of the battlefield.

Although there was no negotiation and communication, they strangely reached a completely consistent opinion.

That is to find out what these sudden strange tentacles are.

"Reconnaissance Ship No. 0 has arrived at the designated location."

A voice without any emotion sounded in the control hall inside the war fortress.

The middle-aged woman slid her white and slender fingers and quickly locked an area on the light curtain in front of her.

Snap!

Without any warning, her eyes suddenly went black, and the light curtain was almost shattered at the same time, and the entire control hall fell into darkness in an instant.

"Reconnaissance Ship No. 0 was attacked by an unknown force and has lost contact with the war fortress."

The voice sounded again, still calm and indifferent, without any anxiety.

The middle-aged woman sat down on the seat, lowered her head and stared at the ground under her feet, and fell into silent thinking.

She was weighing the pros and cons, whether to make another close observation, or to attack there without hesitation, and directly nip the possible danger in the bud.

Both options have their pros and cons, but after some intense thinking, she chose to be safe under the vague warning in her heart, and directly ordered the war fortress to start preparing for the attack.

Boom!

The endless sea of ​​blood lit up again with brilliant light.

A brilliant beam of light shot out from the gap opened by the war fortress, carrying a heart-pounding spiritual pressure, and passed through the entire tragic battlefield in an instant, and came to the dark area at the edge.

When it reached the designated position, the width had expanded to more than a hundred times, completely covering the designated area.

At this moment, the entire sea of ​​blood was quiet.

Swish...

Everything was instantly destroyed where it passed, and further vaporized into billowing smoke.

It emits a strong irritating gas, spreading in all directions.

Even the life outside the range of the light column, whether it is the original warrior or the blood sea creature, fell down in large numbers under the impact of the aftermath, and died in painful struggle.

After a dozen breaths, the brilliant light column gradually disappeared, and when the billowing smoke dissipated, only a mess of charred dust was left at the edge of the battlefield.

Then, the second light column attacked instantly.

Then the third, fourth, fifth...

In just a quarter of an hour, the war fortress released a total of ten attacks.

Cleared a void space directly at the edge of the battlefield.

Either don't do it.

If you do it, you must do it thoroughly.

Especially when the situation is unclear and the danger is hidden, this is the most appropriate way to deal with it.

This is her consistent code of conduct.

No matter what monster is hidden there, she doesn't think there will be any life that can survive under the continuous attacks of the war fortress regardless of consumption.

"The fortress-level attack has been completed."

Accompanied by an elegant and indifferent voice, the middle-aged woman exhaled a long breath, and her tense body relaxed a little at this time.

But in the next moment, she frowned again, looking through the reappearing light curtain, looking behind the charred area at the edge of the battlefield.

There was a dead silence there, but it exuded a huge pressure that made people palpitate.

It was as if there was an irresistible crisis that was approaching rapidly from outside the perception.

This feeling was like a sharp thorn, cutting across her heart, bringing an unbearable sense of oppression, making it almost impossible to breathe smoothly.

"Those black scale tentacles have disappeared, and even the waves of the blood sea have been wiped out. I really can't think of any dangers that can make my whole body feel as cold as if I were in a cold ice cellar."

She took a deep breath and tried to calm her violent thoughts.

Then she sent out the remaining reconnaissance warship, followed the wide passage opened by the light beam, and sneaked towards the place that first aroused her suspicion.

The two reconnaissance ships were still on the road when suddenly a scream full of fear swung rapidly through the control hall without any warning.

Fu Cheng paused and immediately turned his head, ready to scold this guy regardless of the occasion.

However, when her eyes fell on the position of the junior's finger, she was involuntarily stunned.

Densely packed ferocious tentacles were flying happily, spreading rapidly in all directions visible to the naked eye.

And in that area, it was originally the battlefield where one's own side was entangled in the sea of ​​blood.

Now all was gone, leaving only a wild dance of tentacles.

Just one look at it will make your scalp numb and your whole body tingling with chills.

I couldn't help but feel disgust and panic in my heart.

boom! ! !

Suddenly, blazing white flames rose up, and all the black-scaled tentacles disappeared into the depths of the flames.

It was as if what she had just seen was just a nightmare in her imagination.

"That thing isn't dead yet!!!"

"And in a more weird and terrifying way, they are launching a full-scale attack on us!"

Fu Cheng murmured to himself, unable to think of a way to deal with it for a while.

At this moment, something even more frightening happened.

The blazing white flames suddenly surged, covering most of the battlefield in just three or two breaths. The black scale tentacles inside became more and more violent, swallowing up all the original warriors and blood sea creatures.

In an instant, Fu Cheng's back was soaked with cold sweat.

The battleships disappeared one after another, but she didn't know what she should do or what she could do.

"If the head of the family is driving the Death Star to come in person this time..."

Fu Cheng sighed secretly, gathered his thoughts and did not continue thinking.

After all, there are no ifs or so many assumptions in reality.

In this case, she didn't even dare to rescue those mechanical battleships.

One could only watch helplessly as they were enveloped in blazing white flames, and then swallowed and entangled by increasingly dense black scale tentacles.

This feeling of powerlessness made her extremely sad.

"That's the last thing I want to see happen."

A low sigh slowly sounded in the control hall.

The old man who left before pushed open the door and came in. When he spoke again, he looked weak and exhausted.

"The enemy that cannot be defeated is not the most terrifying thing. At least we can still see it and confront it head-on.

Even if you lose in the end, you still know where you have gaps and deficiencies, but what is really scary is the kind of enemy that cannot be discovered or even understood, which often makes people fall into despair without even realizing it. He could only watch his own death. "

At this point, the old man sighed again, "Retreat, while the war fortress is still intact, at least it can leave the confidence for our branch to make a comeback."

"However, we did not receive an order from the Original Heart."

Fu Cheng suddenly came back to his senses, but still hesitated, "If the head of the family blames him later..."

"If the head of the family is to blame, I will take full responsibility for it. What's more, we are facing a near-desperate crisis now, and our handling of it on the fly is not considered an act of transgression against orders."

Click!

Suddenly, a soft sound interrupted the old man's words.

At the same time, a sharp alarm buzzer sounded throughout the control hall.

Both of them turned their heads to look, their eyes reflecting a tentacle of black scales that had appeared out of nowhere.

Immediately afterwards, the second tentacle wrapped around silently.

Then came the third and fourth roots, densely packed and seemingly endless.

In just a short moment, nearly one-tenth of the area of ​​the fortress has been covered, and it is still spreading outward at an ever-increasing speed.

"It's over. I can't leave even if I want to."

The old man looked gloomy and looked towards the regenerative and changing light curtain.

Only then did Fu Cheng realize that the surrounding area had become completely silent.

In the entire battlefield, except for the fortress where they were located, all the original warriors and blood sea creatures had disappeared. Apart from the densely packed black scale tentacles, the only thing left in sight was the blazing white flames.

Click!

At this moment, a sound like cracking porcelain sounded in her ears.

This voice was very small, very light, so ordinary.

Just like a commonly used porcelain tea cup, a small crack was accidentally knocked out.

But it was like a thunder in Fu Cheng's ears, shocking her to the point of being speechless.

Uh-huh...

In the main control hall of the war fortress, a faint white mist filled the air quietly, giving people a mysterious and dreamy feeling.

An ink-colored tentacle loomed, suddenly entangled a certain returning cultivator, and sucked it in and devoured it in an instant, leaving no trace.

Fu Cheng sighed, looking at the black scale tentacles surrounding him from all directions, a relieved smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Now that things have reached this point, what's the point of living like this?

The only regret was that they didn't know who the enemy was. They could be enemies with both them and the sea of ​​blood at the same time, and they could clear both sides at the same time in such a short time, so that they could not see any possibility of winning.

Swish! Swish!

The two closed their eyes and waited for death, but the pain that was supposed to come never came.

Time passed little by little.

The mist and fog quietly dissipated.

There was also a familiar breath of power that connected with their perception at this moment.

"The Death Star where the Heart of the Original Object is located is actually the homeowner's personal visit!"

Fu Cheng almost cried with joy. Following the induction in the dark, he found the source of his sense of security at the first time.

Just behind the war fortress, a black hole-like vortex came into view.

It had just appeared, and its diameter was already several times larger than the fortress, and it was occupying more and more space outward faster and faster.

At the same time as the black hole appeared, the sea of ​​blood actually began to recede rapidly backwards.

The scarlet waves surged and gathered in the distance, gradually forming an indescribable huge face, casting a blood-red light that seemed to be real.

In addition, there were violent turbulences sweeping in from the black-scale tentacles. If you listen carefully, they were actually moving in a fixed rhythm, as if some giant beyond imagination was breathing slowly.

And the war fortress where they were located happened to be located in the center of the three anomalies.

Like a trembling fragile ball, it kept trembling and crackling under the increasing pressure.
