Chapter 652: The crisis is approaching
The reason for this is because Feng Zhan and Elizabeth are on a very clear path at this time. There are no obstacles on it. Even if they close their eyes, they don't have to worry about their steps.
Who told those trees on the wall that not long ago, when Feng Zhan wanted to leave, they all shouted loudly to persuade them to stay, and then Feng Zhan almost stayed, and then finally frightened them, directly formed a formation, and seriously
They used it as a street tree to show the way to Feng Zhan and Elizabeth.
Although the overall direction would not be much different if Feng Zhan had to choose, but with the help of these trees, their speed is much faster, although doing so is really too eye-catching.
It's just that Feng Zhan was feeling a little uncomfortable walking on this road. Elizabeth was holding his arm hard. She said she was afraid of the dark. Feng Zhan wouldn't believe it if she walked in the darkness all year round.
There is such a thing as being afraid of the dark. Isn’t it just like a fish that can’t swim? It’s a big joke!?
However, you can never reason with a woman, otherwise you will definitely be very miserable in the end, and he can only endure it silently.
…
"Run away——"
This was a hoarse roar, which was considered to be the last effort of oneself, followed by the sound of falling to the ground covered by the roar, and a slight sound of being cut from the skin, flesh and bones, which could not be ignored.
The time has come two hours later. Maybe the action was so fast that the players had no time to react and they were already dead. However, since yesterday, the death phenomenon that has occurred on a large scale has been reported to Expedition 3 Good Harbor, and
No matter how fast the guys who kill players move, there will inevitably be some players who are strong enough. There is no guarantee that they will survive, but the survival time will be much longer, and naturally more information can be obtained.
It is relatively accurate news. A player who died after being on the run for a long time told a piece of information that everyone found incredible. That is, the thing that attacked and killed the player was a kind of silk thread.
It is so slender that it will kill you before you even have time to react. Even some lucky people cannot escape being tied up and killed again.
And soon, more news came back, because those threads were approaching an area only three to five hundred kilometers away from the Expedition 3 Port, where they were considered to have entered the real sphere of influence that the Old Continent could control.
Not only are the number of players dense enough, but also the NPC army, all regard this place as their patrol range, and will always appear here according to certain rules to investigate the situation.
An unimaginable encounter took place about 700 kilometers away from the Expedition 3 Port. It was an army of ten thousand people from the Expedition 3 Port. The troops were fully equipped, but the largest proportion was the scouts.
, all are elite.
Because the situation encountered by the players has received the attention of the top management, this army of ten thousand people is to explore what happened to the players there, and more importantly, to understand what kind of thing it is.
Threat, after all, the information obtained from the adventurers was too shocking, silk thread!? Why not say it was wool, so the senior management decided to form their own investigation team to find out the real situation.
The 10,000-strong army sent out a full 2,000 scouts scattered around. Whether they were acting alone or in teams, they were all cautious. After all, those adventurers had always been looked down upon by them, but such a large number of adventurers
It didn't take much time, let alone much effort, to solve it, which was enough for them to be cautious.
Dense forests, even during the day, will still block most of the sunlight, not to mention that the sky in this New World is not very bright to begin with, and it is always daytime.
The forest color looks a bit like dusk, trying to hide the whereabouts of these scouts. Compared with the players' assassins, their rich experience makes them more suitable for operating and surviving in such an environment.
But trouble also appeared at this time. A walking scout stopped and stood next to a tree. The other five scouts who were traveling with him immediately noticed his situation and thought he had discovered something.
, but a full five minutes passed, and the scout still showed no reaction, and they immediately realized something was wrong.
Looking there to check the situation, the four people lost all movement. Only the only scout who was on guard was spared. At this time, he also discovered the problem. About their necks, there was an extremely
The slender threads are not much different from the hair, but in this dark forest, it is even more difficult to notice. Even experienced scouts like them were unable to detect them.
The first time I discovered it, I immediately followed it.
And what he was able to discover was that his comrades who died tragically had dyed the thread red with their own blood, making it at least detectable in weak light.
"Asshole!" The scout cursed in a low voice through gritted teeth, because the silk thread stained red by the blood of his comrades had moved and actually wrapped around it like a python, blocking all the space around it that could move.
Now he finally understood what those adventurers meant when they said the threads killed their companions.
He knew that it was probably too late to do anything else now, but there was still one thing he could do. He quickly took out a distress firework that was pinned to his waist and pulled it away. He didn't expect this.
Fireworks can save me. I just hope that the large army behind me can see it and know the danger in advance. After all, it is not that far away anymore. It is really close at a distance of more than ten kilometers.
But it was just a firework two fingers wide. After it was sprayed within a distance of less than one meter, it had no chance to rise. Countless dense threads directly cut it into tiny flames, which could not exist for long at all.
It disappeared into smoke, and the scout also fell down helplessly in such despair.
At the same time, almost all the scouts sent out were attacked by those thin lines at the same time. Without exception, they lost their lives before they could even send out a little signal.
But this is enough to arouse the vigilance of the rear army, because the scouts sent out have strict regulations and must report the situation to the rear at a specific time. If just a few scouts lose contact, they can barely find a reason, but
At the agreed time, almost all the scouts lost contact, and the problem immediately became serious.
"The entire army is on alert!"
At this time, the leading general in the military formation immediately made an obvious announcement and stopped advancing. A defensive formation was immediately formed. Shield soldiers and other heavy infantry were outside, spearmen and other attack forces followed, archers pressed down on the formation, and the magicians were well protected.
Well, we immediately got into position, and the team of 8,000 people quickly entered a fighting state.
In less than ten minutes, when they completed the formation, the surroundings had changed rapidly, as if they had agreed. All the trees, as if they had seen ghosts, began to run wildly. Seeing the army here,
My eyes almost popped out of my head.
Forget it about ordinary soldiers, but the magicians are well-informed and are familiar with magical creatures. However, they have never felt that there is anything wrong with the trees here from the beginning. In their understanding,
These have always been very ordinary trees, but now it seems that is no longer the case.
The departure of these trees directly vacated an open space of thirty square kilometers. The huge space suddenly vacated, but it failed to make the place feel empty, because there are other things here that make people's scalp numb.
something.
Countless threads appeared in this open space, densely packed, all condensed into a ball of wool. Their almost white bodies may not be eye-catching at first, but when the number reaches a certain scale, it can be called
Horrible.
Almost the entire world is plunged into a white ocean, and the not-so-strong sunlight reflected by the threads here is already dazzling enough.
Whether it is tens of millions or hundreds of millions, this eight thousand-man army no longer intends to count. They rotate, but their position does not change at all. Although they cover the sky and the sun, they do not immediately oppress them.
But the mere pressure brought by the quantity is enough to make people unconsciously feel a sense of suffocation that cannot be ignored.
…
A huge ball of pure white thread with a diameter of ten meters appeared in the air. The threads on its body were not messy at all, and were meticulously wound into a ball from top to bottom. Strangely, there was still a kind of
The unimaginable beauty actually comes from a ball of yarn.
"Humans, you can die!"
This is a female voice, very, very gentle, giving people the feeling of the big sister next door. However, such a gentle voice said such ruthless and indifferent words. When the voice appeared, here
The temperature was not very high to begin with, it was more like it had dropped by a few degrees, making people feel a bit bitingly cold.
"Monster, who do you think you are!?" The legion commander in the military formation said coldly, "Brothers, kill it!"
After saying that, there was a loud shout, and more than a thousand archers were already drawing their bows and shooting. They were all elite archers, and all of them were able to hit the target with perfect accuracy. Coupled with the blessing of their various skills, they believed that as long as these arrows landed on this white
If it is put on a ball of wool, it will definitely not end well.
The sound of arrows piercing the air came out intensively. The archer, who had been prepared to take the lead in defeating the small things blocking the ten-meter-diameter ball of wool, found that all those small things moved away neatly.
There is only a big ball of wool left there, but the arrows are blind, and they don't care whether you are a guy or not. Anyway, they are targeting you.
But what everyone never expected was that the arrows carrying terrifying power stopped at the moment they almost came into contact with the big white ball of wool, without even the slightest intention of moving forward. However,
What these archers saw was that the head of the arrow was tightly attached to the surface of the wool ball...
"ah--"
The miserable howl suddenly appeared, and at the same time, all the archers opened their mouths, their eyes were distracted, and they stared blankly at their hearts. There seemed to be a very inconspicuous thin line there. It was still white at first, but gradually
, had begun to dye a little red, and then continued to spread into the air, converging on the big white wool ball that was literally surrounded by thousands of them.
Gradually, a strange picture condensed on its body under the bright red blood.
Chapter completed!
