Chapter 224 Black Beast Tide
The second and third explorations still failed to find the legendary Heart of the Great Coast. The confidence of Gurn and his team was also hit. After three consecutive explorations, Gurn could no longer hold on. The Golden Gate Technique could only be used for one day.
Once, although the effect was miraculous, the Star Gate Technique itself was a secret technique to extract the residual energy in the movement of stars. You had to wait for the sun, which symbolized gold, to move to the next day before it could be used again.
The deeper the mastery of the Star Gate technique, the smaller this limitation. According to the book left by Chasimi, all limitations stem from the user's insufficient sensitivity to the power of the celestial body. Like her,
You can use the Star Gate Technique without any restrictions.
To explore the crystalline landform area again, they needed to wait for Genn to be able to support the Rune Zenith Fire again. Everyone had to postpone the plan to the next day. During this period, they gained nothing. The detection equipment they carried recorded a lot.
The data on the crystallized landforms, these strings of confusing numbers have no meaning to the light readers, but they can make researchers all over the world crazy about them. Dr. Lostrav has been so excited about this that he has not slept for several days.
After learning that the Great Coast had appeared, he was in an unusual state of ecstasy.
The encounter with the strange masked man was reported to the Light Masters in the Land of Stars by Genn without any concealment. However, the corpse of the strange man had been burned to the point where there was no residue left, so they could only burn it.
He handed over the broken snake sword.
After all, the young master of the Lord family was inside, and the Light Masters absolutely believed their confessions and immediately reported the matter to Fury. Judging from the performance of the masked man, the faceless man causing trouble in the Starfall Land recently was very
He may be their leader, and they are an extreme cult organization that believes in that Dagun.
"What are you doing? You haven't rested yet? You have to continue working early in the morning." Genn took a bite of the weird-tasting can of beans. There was a crate full of beans at his feet, but no one wanted to do it again.
I'm on my second can. To be honest, since leaving the slums of Crossno, Gern has never eaten anything so unpalatable. Compared with this thing, the slimy and weird food in the Nightwing City tavern is nothing like this.
It can be considered a delicacy.
"I want to improve these detectors. The tools I carry with me are a bit crude, but if I slightly modify this pile of scrap metal, it will become more usable." Joel held the multi-function connector in his mouth and made a little sound.
Vaguely, he only took one bite of his strange-flavored can and threw it aside.
"If you transform it so that it can find out where the heart of the Great Coast is, then I will admire you."
"It's impossible. The crystalline landforms around the core have completely obscured its own Vance effect. There is no better way except to use people to explore it." Joel said directly.
"This is not what Joel Robert would say. Didn't you say that you want to change the structure of the entire world of light readers? Is this a trivial thing impossible?" Genn said half-jokingly to stimulate him.
"Although we can't find the location, a higher accuracy can quickly help us eliminate wrong options. Just be content with yourself."
The two of them chatted endlessly, and Arthur beside him had found an open space to sleep. Although he only encountered one battle with the masked man, walking with heavy equipment for a day would be enough.
It was very huge, and the three remaining Light Masters were also taking turns patrolling and sleeping. Although Arthur lay there with his eyes closed, he never fell asleep.
He ate none of the unpalatable canned food left. He had been accustomed to eating this since he was a child.
Duke William has always been honest and upright. He has no income except the salary paid by the Light Nianshi Association and the regional government. The Starfall Land is a barren soil. No grass grows here. The transportation is blocked. The price of imported food here is several times higher.
There is not much left over from mining the tower crystals besides subsidizing the local people and supporting the army. The Lord family often donates rare large crystals directly to the telepathic family for research, which benefits everyone, including the Robert family.
However, their return to the Starfall Land was only some old-fashioned telekinesis devices that were outdated and obsolete. The sets of protective equipment that Joel scorned were originally received by the Starfall Land as if they were treasures.
Being strict with others and even more strict with himself was Arthur's deepest impression of his father. The Lord family's life had nothing to do with luxury, not to mention compared with other nobles, even some wealthy businessmen, even on the dining table.
The regular customers are the pressed cans that only poor workers and peasants eat. After a hard day of fighting and sword training, then facing these food that is not delicious at all is the epitome of Arthur's childhood.
Azor was lying. The bitter taste made Arthur solidify this idea. His father had never treated or wished anyone wrong in his life, let alone framed his own henchmen. Azor was just a lunatic who had taken refuge in Rasambo.
There is no credibility in his words. Even if he is really desired by someone...that person can never be his father.
After figuring this out, Arthur could finally have a good sleep. What he didn't expect was that before dawn, a sudden fierce battle was already waiting for them.
Both Arthur and Gern were awakened by the alarm sounded by the sentry. Gern himself was also a light sleeper. After hearing the sound, he put on protective equipment and rushed out of the camp as soon as possible.
"Highest alert! The wave of Nian beasts is coming!" The light Nian warrior in charge of the patrol leaped down from the steep slope with a flying figure.
Gen raised his head and looked behind him. He only saw the mountains rising a little, and growing several meters taller to the naked eye. The black mountains seemed to be crushing towards their camp.
The high tower on the sea shone brightly, and the dazzling light instantly illuminated the coast. The crystal fragments embedded in the dead giant beast also glowed and connected with their mother body. Only then did Genn look at it.
The situation in the distance of Qing Dynasty was not a tall mountain at all, but an unimaginably dense concentration of mind beasts.
Beast tides are already a thing of the past during the War of Salvation. Since humans rebuilt civilization, large-scale beast tides have almost never happened, at least they have not appeared in media reports. Once low-level mind beasts in the wild begin to gather, they will soon
He will be killed by the Light Master Association. This is the first time that Gen has seen the legendary beast tide.
Pictures of disasters appeared before his eyes. He saw blood, flames, ruined cities and people screaming and fleeing from natural disasters. The black tide was a symbol of disaster and the incarnation of death on the earth.
After the tide of beasts, everything will die. They will destroy everything they see indiscriminately, until only dust and gravel remain on the ground under their feet.
This is the beast tide, this is what they have to face, this is what they have to resist... Genn has never had such a profound understanding. A hundred years ago, human beings had to fight against such enemies and fight against such natural disasters.
A glimmer of life.
"Light Crossbow Furious Wind Continuous Shot!" The Starfall Land Light Masters who were being repaired in the camp also woke up. When Genn was still at a loss, the professionals had already launched an attack.
A burst of fan-shaped flying arrows rushed into the formation of the beast tide, knocking down all the thought beast vanguards rushing to the ground. The sentry who had just withdrawn also began to call for reinforcements, and unfolded a barrier to block the incoming beasts.
A few fish that slipped through the net bounced away.
"No time to be dazed! Fight back with all your strength!" the leader of the combat team left behind by Fury roared loudly.
This man's name is Tai Lan, a native of the Starfall Land. Looking at the long sword on his waist and the sword light bursting from it, you can tell that he is an offensive type. Tai Lan and the scouts charged side by side, and the two launched an offensive against the beast tide.
The sharp sword protected by the barrier was swung rapidly, like a heavily armored knight in the Middle Ages, rushing into the enemy's formation. There were many mind beasts that were repeatedly knocked into the air by his sword, and even cut into two pieces with one blow.
The combat team has a standard configuration of five people, one each for double assault, light crossbow, shield and spell, plus three scouts from the assault department and three of Genn. Now the eleven of them are coming to reinforce the large army.
Previously, I held my position.
This is not only a test of personal strength, but also a huge challenge to teamwork. The biggest advantage of humans over Nian beasts is that they know how to unite and use tacit cooperation to achieve strength and complement each other's shortcomings.
Just as Gen summoned the bone sword and prepared to fight, several members of the combat team had already formed their formations and started to counterattack. Following closely behind the captain, four strong-attack light-swordsmen maintained a cone-shaped formation and penetrated the beast tide like a sharp blade.
The heart, forcibly broke through the overwhelming tide of beasts. Behind them, a light crossbow and a spell were not idle. The flying arrows continued to help the vanguard troops cover the attack and carry out firepower.
To suppress, the spell used a large-scale ground-binding technique to bind a large number of mind beasts on the left wing in place, greatly reducing the burden on the vanguard.
The light connoisseurs are extremely brave and fight bloody battles in all directions. The rumors about the light connoisseurs of Starfall Land are indeed correct. The people of Starfall Land are brave and good at fighting, and the light connoisseurs here are even more naturally brave. However, the number of beasts is always at a disadvantage.
There, no matter how good the Light Masters were in fighting, they were still surrounded by the swarming beasts.
Nian beasts don't know fear. No matter how many vanguards you kill, the beasts behind will still rush forward one after another. Their purpose does not need to be limited. They just want to destroy everything. This is enough to defeat the will of human troops.
How could one have morale when fighting such an enemy? But the Light Masters did not retreat at all. After being surrounded, they formed a defensive formation back to back and clung to a narrow slope to form a bunker. No matter how many enemies there were, they could only attack from one direction.
Attack to give the Light Masters a chance to breathe.
"Arthur! Break through the gap and rescue them!" Gen shouted. He was a little powerless in the face of the mind beasts coming like a sea wave. Most of his attacks were single-type, making it difficult to repel them all at once.
