With Jiang Yue not in the team, the team is missing its backbone. And Han Jingjing is naturally under great pressure to take up the position of this backbone.
However, Han Jingjing did not complain, she chose to accept this challenge resolutely.
During the battle at the Yangcun Town stronghold in Yuncheng, she participated in the entire decision-making and fighting process. She fully understood the process and had a deep understanding of the root characteristics of the strange tree.
These experiences can ensure that she has more confidence when arranging battles.
Jiang Yue, who was stranded in the main area of the Weird Tree, did not feel anxious because of the wait. On the contrary, his confidence was as high as ever.
Not long after he arrived in this area, the long-lost intelligence opened communication again.
The destruction of the main root of the strange tree was obviously regarded as a huge victory by the intelligence, and the intelligence actually gave it a high evaluation.
This is undoubtedly exciting for Jiang Yue. Being highly recognized by Zhiling proves that his performance during this period has been recognized by Zhiling, and the general direction is correct.
The affirmation given by Zhiling is not only high praise, but also natural rewards.
Reward 1: Copy skill upgrades, which can be copied into static items based on the original ones.
Reward 2: The stealth skill is upgraded again, number of uses in a single day: 8; single stealth time: 60 minutes.
Reward 3: The Slowing Divine Light spell is upgraded and can be used for covering attacks.
Reward 4: The New Year Eating skill is upgraded, and the effect of the New Year Eating is doubled.
Reward 5: Dark Aria skill upgrade, controllable objects increase, and plants can be controlled.
Reward 6: The mutual blessings are upgraded again, the number of blessings in a single day: 30.
Reward 7: The divine pupil and eagle eye skills are improved in all directions, with a range of sight covering 3 kilometers, and insight into illusions and evil spirits.
Reward 8: The proficiency of "Nine Techniques of Stealing Heaven" has been improved again.
…
In the past, Zhiling had always been very generous in rewarding Jiang Yue, but this time, Zhiling was so generous that he almost wanted to give all the rewards to Jiang Yue in one go.
It was a complete upgrade of all the skills Jiang Yue possessed.
For Jiang Yue's current situation, this is a timely help.
In particular, the single maintenance time of the stealth skill has been increased to 60 minutes, which greatly improves Jiang Yue's mobility and gives Jiang Yue more space to operate.
Because of this, Jiang Yue has not been idle these days and has not waited for the joint command team to launch a general offensive.
He has been investigating and collecting information about the situation around the main body of the strange tree. As the number of times he comes in and out continues to increase, he has become more and more familiar with the situation in the surrounding area.
Including the defense system in this area, the amount of defense force, the layout of the defense level, etc.
I have to admit that during this period of time, the strange tree itself has made this area extremely impregnable.
Under normal circumstances, if the human camp launched a strong attack here, there would be almost no suspense and it would definitely hit a wall.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the formation restriction here is ten times that of the Yangcun Town stronghold.
For Jiang Yue, he also realized more and more clearly that it was completely impossible to destroy this strange tree with just one blow.
However, Jiang Yue has also thought a lot these days.
Compared to the weird tree in Star City, of course, the weird tree that has evolved from this formed weird tree is a greater threat.
The strange shapeable tree also means that it has entered the surface world, coming from darkness to light.
This point, compared with the uncertain factors of Star City's strange tree, does have certain disadvantages.
The reason why the strange tree in Star City is difficult to deal with is not because of its terrifying combat power, but because it always disappears at the first opportunity. It is difficult for you to locate it and you have no idea where it will appear.
And the strange tree here has invaded the surface and manifested in the surface world.
After all, there is a big difference between a fixed target and a moving target.
On this afternoon, Jiang Yue's third day in this place, he received a mission in his area.
This mission is actually to intercept an intruding human being.
Another human broke in? Jiang Yue felt a little surprised.
But his current identity is that of an agent in this area.
In the area of the Weird Tree body, there are many agents. It can be seen that the Weird Tree is also very clear that the subjective initiative of the agents is definitely stronger than that of the Tree Charm.
Therefore, combat effectiveness and discipline must be much stronger than Shu Mei's.
Concocting them into tree charms can ensure their infinite loyalty and ensure their obedience. The disadvantage is that they lack subjective initiative and are difficult to deal with flexibly when encountering war.
This is also the reason why Weird Tree retains a large number of agents in this area.
In fact, these agents are not completely independent individuals. They are also controlled and threatened by the strange tree.
As long as they have some rebellious thoughts, the strange tree can easily destroy them.
Jiang Yue had already investigated this clearly when he was in Star City.
Of course, with such a large number of agents, it is impossible for Weird Tree to manage them all personally. It also supports a group of top agents to manage them.
Because of the large number of people, these top agents are also divided into several levels. There are a few at the top level, and dozens of people at the next level. The next level up is the one pretended by Jiang Yue, who is the lowest among the agents.
Level. They can only follow orders and fight wherever they are told.
Jiang Yue was quite satisfied with this level of status, but he didn't like the level being too high.
If the level is too high, it means that it is easier to be noticed by the weird tree. What he wants now is to be hidden and low-key.
There are a dozen other agents in the same team as Jiang Yue.
The agents of this team basically lived nearby, so it was easy to assemble them. Soon, several surrounding teams were gathered.
A second-level agent is responsible for leading the hundreds of them to search an area.
It can be seen that they have done this job not once or twice. Their division of labor is very clear, their actions are very agile, and they appear to be well-trained.
It can be seen that they must have practiced a lot when searching for survivors and hunting down intruders.
Every move he makes is no different from a well-trained soldier.
Jiang Yue mingled among the crowd, inconspicuous, but he was a little curious. Who is the person they are hunting this time?
Could it be his comrades?
Seeing that he hasn't gone back for so long, why do you come here specifically to look for him?
Jiang Yue could not rule out this possibility.
However, based on Jiang Yue's understanding of Han Jingjing and Mr. Song, if the group of people from Star City were to come, Han Jingjing and Mr. Song would definitely stop them. They would definitely not let them take such a huge risk. It could almost be said that they were throwing themselves into a trap.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some people will not listen and leave the team privately.
For example, this guy Sangou.
Therefore, Jiang Yue looked calm on the surface, but in fact he turned on his borrowing skills and started looking around.
There were too many agents around. Jiang Yue's Borrowing Skill was turned on, and the perspectives captured were all those of these agents.
With so many perspectives, it was difficult for Jiang Yue to distinguish them one by one, and it was also difficult for him to find the answer he wanted.
While Jiang Yue was thinking, the second-level agent shouted: "Cheer up, have you seen the factory area in front of you? There is intelligence that the human being is probably hiding in the factory area. We are responsible for sealing off the northwest corner of the factory area.
.”
It is said to be a factory area, but it is surrounded by tall trees. The original factory area is almost all covered by vegetation, and some traces can be seen vaguely.
After walking within a few hundred meters, you can barely see some.
Jiang Yue's borrowing skill was always on, but he still captured all kinds of strange perspectives. He did not capture the unique perspective of a single person.
This made Jiang Yue a little doubtful. Are the humans they mentioned really in this factory?
However, in this kind of collective action, Jiang Yue certainly could not act alone, but chose to follow the large army to the northwest corner of the factory area.
There are five teams in this group, about a hundred people in total.
The second-level agent began to order people: "You guys, stay on the perimeter, seal off every corner, keep a close eye on me, and don't let a fly pass. The rest, follow me and enter the factory area to search.
Comprehensive coverage is required, a blanket search is required, and no corner is spared."
Of course Jiang Yue was also named. To Jiang Yue's satisfaction, he was named to enter the factory area for search, which provided Jiang Yue with mobility.
If you are responsible for the blockade outside, it basically means that there is no room for movement. Even if you want to cruise, you must move within the visible range, and there is basically no room for free movement.
When entering the factory area to search, the factory building itself is very complex. Coupled with the coverage of tall trees and lush vegetation, there are more obstacles that can be used from the perspective, and the free space for personal activities is large.
This also means that Jiang Yue has more room for free expression.
Although the area they searched was only the northwest corner, there were other teams responsible for other areas.
But in such a large factory area, with about 200 people pouring in, the density of viewing angles still gave Jiang Yue a headache.
The northwest corner was originally the dormitory area of this factory. Although the terrain is not complicated, it still requires searching one by one.
The dense vegetation and plants growing randomly everywhere undoubtedly brought great inconvenience to this search.
There are several dormitories in this building, and each building has several staircase entrances. Naturally, the manpower must be divided up.
Jiang Yue and several others were responsible for one of the stairwells, conducting a dragnet search from the east to the west.
This type of search is very labor-intensive.
These agents filed in one by one, and Jiang Yue also followed the crowd.
However, when Jiang Yue stepped on the steps, he felt a strange feeling in his heart. The building was covered with vegetation, and various plants even grew into the interior of the building. Some branches even grew directly through the windows and into the building.
indoors.
None of this surprised Jiang Yue. What surprised him was that Jiang Yue felt something strange when he stepped on the steps.
This feeling is so subtle that if it weren't for Jiang Yue's powerful spiritual consciousness and super strong perception, he might not be able to capture it.
The steps under his feet were obviously hard, but Jiang Yue felt inexplicably uneasy, always feeling that he might stumble at any time.
Jiang Yue knew that this was definitely not an illusion.
There must be something fishy about this building.
But this is already the area controlled by the Weird Tree, and it belongs to the territory of the Weird Tree. What could be so fishy about it?
While they were thinking about it, Jiang Yue and others had already arrived on the second floor. A group of people began to kick open the doors one by one and search every corner carefully.
In fact, there was no need to search so carefully. Jiang Yue glanced over and knew that there was no one else hiding on this floor except for the searchers like them.
Of course, he couldn't say these words, he could only follow everyone's actions, looking very involved and serious.
In fact, his main attention has always been on this building.
At this moment, Jiang Yue could basically conclude that this building must have been tampered with. However, he was still in the guessing stage as to where the tampering was, and could not confirm it for the time being.
As the search team continued to go upstairs, the uneasy feeling lingering in Jiang Yue's heart became more and more intense.
Suddenly, Jiang Yue's mind moved and he found that the floor beneath his feet seemed to be shaking slightly.
Yes, it's trembling, not shaking.
This kind of trembling is the shaking of the building itself, not the shaking caused by the earthquake.
This feeling was almost instantaneous. The whole building suddenly collapsed and collapsed like tofu.
This eighty-nine-story building suddenly collapsed, and the formation was naturally very scary.
With a roar, it collapsed into a pile of ruins. The effect was as if it was exploding from the inside, and it was even exaggerated several times.
Almost everyone had no time to react and was buried directly in the mound.
Jiang Yue was no exception, but Jiang Yue had already been mentally prepared. At the moment of the collapse, Jiang Yue launched his underground skills and escaped directly from the underground remains of the building.
Deep underground, Jiang Yue could even feel the shock caused by the collapse of the building, and could hear the tragic screams of the agents buried in the ruins.
However, these screams were quickly buried.
Some agents with earth attribute talents were still able to emerge from the ruins. Agents without earth attribute talents were buried alive almost instantly.
This is a true burial alive. It is definitely not like an earthquake. Most of the building's main body has not collapsed, leaving room for shelter and even breathing.
This building completely collapsed and was completely buried. The effect was similar to a mudslide, burying people alive inside.
Even among the agents downstairs who did not enter the building, many were covered by the force of the collapse, causing considerable casualties.
Jiang Yue stayed underground for a while, thinking about this strange scene.
He could basically conclude that this building must have been tampered with, and the person who tampered with it was not from the Weird Tree camp, and was most likely the intruder tracked by the Weird Tree camp.
In other words, they are probably Jiang Yue's allies.
