Chapter 332 The King of Corruption (2)

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

"Tell the civilians to stop running around and get back to the main road!"

"I have wounded people here, please help me!"

…

Noisy voices kept ringing in the streets shrouded in gray smoke. The civilians who had just been watching what the city defense troops were doing were scurrying around like headless flies. This put great pressure on maintaining order.

It’s no wonder that the people panicked, the gray smoke was extremely deadly, and some people fell down in pain almost as soon as they touched the smoke. Within a few seconds, their whole bodies were covered with wriggling white mycelium, and their whole bodies softened.

It deformed into the shape of rotten soil.

——This is really scary.

What's even more frightening is that in the distance where the lighthouse used to be, there is now a strange mass as huge as a mountain peak that is constantly expanding and shrinking, falling directly to the ground like a large foul-smelling cloud.

In the streets, the sporadic magical lights are being filled with gray-white powder and spreading mycelium. The harbor that relies on it for survival looks like a viscous milkshake. With the smell of death, Muxing City will inevitably fall into panic.

among.

Pei Renli pushed away the rotten wood on his body and hung a piece of the lining of his cloak on his face as a mask. The dancing light technique gave people a slight sense of security. At least there were many city defense troops around him.

The security team and the people from the Hidden Star.

When the gray-white powder came like a tsunami, the crude warehouse that had been in disrepair collapsed quickly as if it was rotten. Pei Renli fell from the second floor to the first floor, almost killing him. Fortunately, he was

The warehouse converted from a private house is not very high.

Some city defense troops are evacuating the surviving civilians, others are trying to get out those trapped under the rubble, and many people are simply lying on the ground, rotting quietly in the corners like mushrooms.

Pei Renli glanced at the piece of wood he pushed away. Its structure could no longer be maintained. Not long after it fell to the ground, it became a soft ball, and strands of mycelium began to spread from the inside.

This may be the main reason why the house suddenly collapsed.

This part of the area was originally mostly residential buildings, so when you look around, you can see that almost all the buildings have collapsed in half, with only some ruins of plaster or stone still standing.

He used his staff to support his body, took out the secondary restoration potion and drank it. The fungus did not affect him for the time being, but he had to guard against it.

Because Pei Renli saw that not far from him, there was a person leaning against the wall who was decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He may be the person who stayed behind in the warehouse. The wounds left on his body during the Hidden Star attack were vaguely visible. The reason why they are vaguely visible is because a large amount of white mycelium is emerging from his wounds.

The originally fresh flesh quickly rotted and stinked, and within a few seconds of Pei Renli supporting his body and observing, gray-white mushrooms with umbrella-shaped tops grew out.

It all happened too quickly and was discovered too late.

When they originally sensed the clues to the whole thing, it was already when the other party started to stop pretending at all. It was an arrow on the string that had to be fired. If they could have been one day earlier, even half a day earlier, they would have absolutely no chance of success.

But there is no point in talking about it now. Pei Renli looked up at the lighthouse and stared at the huge fungal aggregate.

According to the records in the experiment notes, this thing is the ancient demon, the King of Corruption.

"Mr. Pei Renli, leave quickly, we also need to evacuate the city quickly!"

Kurt jumped out of the ruins, using his hands and feet to signal Perrenli to leave quickly as if he was extremely excited.

Although the detonation could not be prevented, now is not the time to close your eyes and wait for death. There are still many things to do.

Since Perrenli rescued the six-member parliament in advance, the top leadership did not fall, and Nethar used the logistics system that he had operated for many years to transport a large amount of supplies. In fact, he was somewhat prepared for the worst case scenario.

Next, we need to lure the residents of Muxing City to evacuate, build a refugee camp to distribute supplies, and maintain public security to ensure that there are no troubles during this period.

Kurt thought that Perrenli was unconscious when he fell from the second floor, so his reaction was slow. But in fact, he was thinking about one thing.

For example, how about asking a wave of monsters from the sea of ​​trees to pass by?

Although the six-person parliament has been saved, Muxing City will not be leaderless, and the problem of the King of Rot, as long as the sun rises tomorrow, these all-pervasive fungi will be killed by the sunlight, but the fleet from the Republic of Tula came under the banner of disaster relief

, will not be easily settled.

This wave of heavy damage will cause Mu Xing City to lose contact with its own fleet from the outside world, and it will be unable to stop the Republic of Tula at all. However, their fleet will arrive at Mu Xing City at dawn and start the so-called rescue work.

In this way, although it is still nominally ruled by the six-person parliament and the city lord, the army of the Tula Republic has entered the city, and Muxing City has no power to resist. There is no need to say what the consequences will be. I am afraid that it will be permanently destroyed by the Tula Republic.

Garrison down.

Therefore, Pei Renli was considering whether he could activate the monsters in the Sea of ​​Trees to give them a head-on attack when the Tula Republic's fleet entered the harbor.

But monsters who carry out activities in an organized manner will inevitably arouse unnecessary suspicion, especially the monsters in the Sea of ​​Trees. After all, the Sea of ​​Trees is the home of the tyrannical Demon King.

It would be a bad idea to directly confront the Republic of Tula.

"Mr. Perrenli! Follow me!"

Seeing that Perrenli didn't move, Kurt finally became anxious and quickly approached to drag him away.

At this time, among the dust that spread and almost turned the night into gray-white, several huge clumps were falling from the sky.

"The dependent of the King of Corruption, the spreader of corruption..."

"What did you just say?"

Kurt, whose attention was drawn to the top, didn't hear clearly. Then he heard a bang, plus the sound of broken walls collapsing and exclamations, as if something had fallen nearby.

The next moment, several eyes with yellow shimmer appeared in the darkness, and a bloated and huge fungal mass full of lumps climbed up from the ruins and revealed itself to everyone.

They look like large twisted mushrooms. Every time they squirm on the ground, a large amount of fine spore powder will pour out from the lumps on their bodies. They are more than three meters tall and nearly two meters wide.

It seems slow, but it is very dangerous. The unabashed malice originating from the devil's essence is spreading.

The retreat order that had just been maintained by the city defense army and the security team collapsed again, and even the people who maintained the order began to collapse. Everyone almost ran in a panic and ran in any direction away from here.

Pei Renli pushed Kurt, dumbfounded:

"Walk!"

This woke him up. Needless to say, Pei Renli said that any mortal would instinctively run away from the devil.

But he turned around and ran for two steps, and suddenly found that Pei Renli had not followed.

"You go first, I will take the rear."

"But! You..."

"Let's go!"

Pei Renli waved his staff behind him, and a wall of fire ignited from the ground, blocking the road that could still be considered an intersection.

Kurt gritted his teeth, called to his companions who were stunned on the spot, and quickly evacuated towards the north.

As for Perrenli, he didn't sacrifice himself for others, mainly because it would be difficult for Kurt and others to take action if they were nearby.

The rot spreaders were approaching, and when they saw Pei Renli blocking them alone, a series of uncomfortable grunts sounded from his bloated body, like a taunt.

Mocking Pei Renli's overestimation of his abilities.

But Pei Renli didn't panic at all. He pointed at the 'mushroom' closest to him:

"Go up and flatten it."

A shadow flew out from Pei Renli's feet, and the strong wind whipped up by the hard-to-see high speed instantly blew away the spores that spread like powder around...

–‐‐——–‐‐——

At the same time, on the other side——

Kaya, Korra and Eve are still a little confused about the situation.

What the hell? What is that thing? We have just entered the city, are we in trouble again?

Lin, the magic pattern master, didn't mean to explain a word at all. She activated the flying technique with a very unhappy expression. She just told them to "get out of the city quickly" and then headed towards the huge mountain-like fungus in the distance.

The silk clumps flew away.

The three of them just heard that Cistia's father had been arrested, so they wanted to come over to see the situation. Naturally, they had no idea what happened in Muxing City.

The gray powder that is currently spreading is limited to a part of the port. Standing in the business district, you can clearly see that only about one-tenth of the port is covered, and the covered areas are mainly warehouses and other places.

The spreading gray powder is slowly expanding, but by the time it reaches the commercial district, people will have already fled outside the city.

The security teams patrolling the streets also quickly entered the situation. Although they could only answer "I don't know" when faced with questions, they were very efficient in evacuating the masses and moving them outside the city.

The first reaction of Kaya and the other three was to run out, but after taking a few steps, they immediately remembered that the business district was not far from the uptown area where Sistia lived.

Now that we're all here, it's time to take a look at the situation and make plans. Maybe we can be of some help.

So they turned around and walked in the opposite direction, facing the panicked crowd.

But just as they were struggling to squeeze through the crowd, Eve suddenly pulled the front and led the way to open Kaya:

"Look! What is that?"

The three of them looked at the location where the lighthouse was originally. The mountain-like hyphae twitched, as if something was flying in the sky, leaving eye-catching tracks in the fuzzy spore dust.

"Did I see it wrong? It seems to be flying towards us!"

"Lower your head!"

The three people hurriedly pressed their heads against the wall. Almost at the next moment, the roar of heavy objects falling to the ground filled their ears, and the solid stone buildings in the commercial district let out the wail of falling.

Almost at the same time as the smoke rising from the collapse of the building, there was also a strong smell of decay, which was like putting your nose in front of fresh mushrooms and sniffing hard, which was extremely harsh.

At the same time, unabashed malice spread throughout the body like maggots in the tarsus...
