Epoch of Twilight

Chapter 129: Beast tide

Views:

The dense green forest sea in the distance has undulating waves, some thin trees have fallen down, and the ground is rumbling, as if there are thousands of troops galloping in. Even from several kilometers away, you can hear the thunder-like sound. There was a loud noise, and countless mutant beasts were running wildly in the jungle. The sky was also occupied by mutant birds, so densely packed that they almost obscured the entire sky.

As if sensing something, Luo Yuan suddenly looked towards the area where the trunk of the Tianzhu tree was located, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

I saw countless fountains of high-temperature steam erupting from there, rushing to an altitude of tens or even hundreds of meters. The number of fountains was several times higher than yesterday, and the eruption was more intense, more like a hysterical ending. break out.

Wisps of green smoke curled up from the raised area.

As the ground continued to shake, the green smoke above became thicker and thicker, and the air gradually became filled with a burning smell.

"This seems to be the smell of ignited sulfur?" Ning Xiaoran said uneasily, looking at the countless mutated creatures in the sky and on the ground fleeing frantically, as if something bad was about to happen.

"Brimstone?" Luo Yuan was stunned for a moment when he thought of this word.

"How could there be a smell of sulfur here? Could it be a volcano!" The sudden thought in his mind made him unbelievable, but there was no other explanation other than this.

At this moment, the Tianzhu tree shook violently. Luo Yuan was shocked to find that the leaves, which originally had a dark green luster, had become dim and completely lost their luster. Some of the leaves had even turned yellow.

"Don't fall down!"

He was startled, suddenly came to his senses, and shouted loudly: "Get out of the shade of the tree, everyone, run away."

Everyone reacted and ran as fast as they could. Even at this juncture, Huo Dong and the others had no intention of throwing away the machine gun bullets. They gritted their teeth and tried their best to follow the crowd. Wang Xiaguang's body had not yet recovered. After running a few hundred meters, he became unable to run anymore and gradually fell to the end.

Luo Yuan looked back at her waxy face. It was obvious that he could no longer hold on. He ran back again. Before she could refuse, he put her on his back and continued running forward.

Since she was completely disappointed with Luo Yuan that day, she cried almost all night. The next day, she secretly decided not to talk to Luo Yuan ever again. He had become extremely strange and was no longer the same person in her memory. He even slept with two women openly in front of her.

But this carrying posture was too embarrassing. She was silent for a few minutes. Feeling that her strength had recovered, she could no longer hold back and whispered: "Put me down quickly, I can run!"

"Don't make trouble!" Luo Yuan slapped her butt hard.

Wang Xiaguang's body stiffened and he didn't dare to move at all.

After a few minutes, everyone finally ran out of the shade of the tree, holding their knees and gasping for breath. Several people even sat down on the ground and never got up again. This kind of sprint-like running consumes the most physical energy. Most people can't run more than one kilometer at all. Being able to run for such a long time is already at the level of ordinary long-distance runners before the end of the world.

Luo Yuan put Wang Xiaguang down, and she pulled back her hair in a covert manner. She blushed and had a fever, but no one paid attention to her expression at this time.

"Aurora, how can there be an aurora here?" Huang Jiahui shouted, with a shocked look on her face. She saw the white clouds in the sky gathering and disappearing invisible, the wind and clouds changing, and from time to time, a few misty lights flashed, exuding a coquettish light.

"I'm afraid a volcano is about to erupt here. Look, the smoke over there is getting thicker and thicker." Lin Xiaoji pointed to the root of the Tianzhu tree and said with a pale face.

"No, the mutated beast is coming here." Huo Dong looked at the isolation zone in horror, and was so frightened that he even forgot to breathe for a moment.

In the woods not far away, countless mutant beasts were rushing here like a tide, and several of them had already run into the isolation zone. Luo Yuan looked ugly. There were jungles on both sides of the highway. Once the beast tide formed, this area would be the first to bear the brunt and there would be no way to escape.

"Go to the outpost in front quickly." Luo Yuan said loudly.

Under the threat of death, everyone's exhausted bodies once again gained strength and ran desperately towards the outpost a hundred meters away.

However, the speed of mutant beasts is faster. A blue-level mutant beast quickly passed everyone. It was obviously frightened, with extreme panic in its eyes. Even the nearby dark blue-level monitor lizard could not stop it. It passed the crowd and continued running forward.

More and more mutant beasts were running over, and the ground was shaking. Some of them even bumped into the crowd blankly. After being cut off, Luo Yuan quickly killed them, or they were directly trampled by the giant lizard.

A minute later, everyone who was about to collapse finally arrived at the outpost, and Luo Yuan was already breathing a little. In just over a minute, almost more than ten people died in Luo Yuan's hands, and there was even a blue-level mutant beast among them. The intensity of the battle was far beyond what Luo Yuan had experienced before. If it weren't for his Now that my physical strength has increased greatly, I am afraid that I am exhausted now.

Luo Yuan quickly checked inside and killed several unknown and colorful strange insects living here.

On the second floor, except for one machine gun whose barrel has been bent and cannot be used, the other cannons are still well preserved. There are even eight boxes of bullets. Luo Yuan glanced at it and said to several men: "The three of you each Everyone, keep an eye open, and if you see a large mutant beast approaching, shoot immediately, but be careful about bullet consumption and don’t shoot them all at once, Jiahui!”

"Master Wang, you have the heaviest responsibility. Pay attention to the small mutated creatures coming in from the gun holes. Don't be careless!" Luo Yuan said to Master Wang seriously.

Master Wang nodded desperately, his body shaking non-stop, his little hands inserted into his trouser pockets and tightly grasped the sharp cone inside.

"Where are you going?" Huang Jiahui heard what he was saying and asked worriedly.

"I will go outside and be responsible for the final defense here." Luo Yuan said solemnly.

It was meaningless to say anything at this time. Huang Jiahui's voice was trembling: "You...be careful!"

Luo Yuan nodded, glanced at everyone, and finally saw Wang Xiaguang's heart-shaking concern. He couldn't help but pause slightly, then turned and walked down the stairs, silently saying "OK!"

"Current mission: D-level mission, block the impact of the beast tide. Mission requirements: The number of deaths must not exceed two!"

D-level mission, this is a mission level he has never encountered before. If E+ level represents the difficulty of killing fourth-level mutant creatures, which is the dark blue level, then D-level obviously represents the difficulty of killing fifth-level mutant creatures. . So far, he has never really seen a level five mutant beast, but has felt its terrifying momentum from a distance. Just that, it has already made him tremble with fear and make his scalp numb.

Of course, at that time, his strength was far from that strong, but even now, he is still not sure at all. His current strength can barely kill the fourth-level mutant beast, but if he wants to kill the fifth-level mutant beast, it is impossible to kill it. impossible.

Just like the blue level who he used to think was extremely powerful can now be killed effortlessly. A level five mutant beast can also kill him easily. There is a huge difference in strength with just one level of difference, as if there is a deep chasm between them.

Of course, there is a high possibility that there will not be a fifth-level mutant beast in this mission, but the difficulty is the same, and there is essentially no difference.

Luo Yuan walked outside. At this time, more and more mutant beasts rushed through the isolation zone and rushed towards the highway.

He quickly opened the attribute panel and added all the five remaining skill points from the last upgrade to his sword skills. A large amount of information crazily poured into his mind. He closed his eyes and felt the sudden memory. , a powerful aura gradually spread from his body, and the air became restless.

There seems to be an invisible force field that fills the nearby area. As time goes by, some small gravels beat slightly, and then the beating frequency becomes faster and faster, as if they are about to float. Several low-level mutant beasts that had just ran into this area fell to the ground stiffly as if struck by lightning, twitching non-stop, and soon became silent.

Even the giant lizard snorted uneasily, with its scales standing up one by one. When it looked at Luo Yuan, a trace of fear flashed in its eyes.

Sword Mastery: 19

It is only one step away from a higher level.

He slowly opened his eyes. As he finished his thoughts, the aura around him quickly weakened, and the beating gravel nearby also subsided. A trace of regret appeared on his face.

"After all, the strength is not achieved through one's own hard work. It is always separated from the memory transmitted by the system." He thought to himself: "Theoretically, the strength of 'Sword Skill Mastery: 19' can only be fully utilized by him at most. 'Sword Mastery: 15' strength."

But even so, his current strength has grown a lot. The application of the sword light became more comfortable, and even the concentration of will took a step further. He pulled out the Zhanma sword, and saw a gleam of brilliance on the sword instantly. The sword light was extremely stable, and there was no longer the violent puffing like flames before. Phenomenon, it is now like a quiet clear spring, with a sharp cold light in the cold. It even has a material texture.

At this time, the unique sound of tearing cloth from a machine gun rang out.

A blue-level mutant beast on the left was instantly splashed with blood. After more than ten seconds, its entire body was beaten to pieces, and it fell to the ground like a rag bag. The bullets continued to wreak havoc on the body for a few seconds. , and then stopped.

This group of people had never manipulated such a weapon, and due to their mental stress, they were slow to react and could not stop once they pressed the button. If this continues, I'm afraid it won't be long before the bullets are gone.

Luo Yuan frowned, and his face gradually became serious.

Countless creatures emerged from the trees, rushing towards here in groups. There are also two huge dark blue-level creatures among them, but at this moment, together with the low-level mutant beasts, they are crowding each other and running desperately.
