Although the group of red-robed mages in Glory City are small in number, they are of high rank and well equipped.
If you really want to run away, it won't be easy to chase him.
What's more, the two top combat forces on the pursuing side, such as the Great Witch Ji Mafa and Bazel, are still not in good shape.
In the end, a few bodies of red-robed mages were left behind, and they were allowed to escape.
Of course, the most important thing is that everyone is stunned by the scene outside.
Not only the giant flowers like mountains, but also the endless tide of corpses.
... ...
Having been swallowed into the stomach by the "Moro Corpse King Flower" before, no one inside had an accurate idea of what this monster looked like.
Now when I come out and look at them, their faces change.
The shape of the giant flower of "Moro Corpse King Flower" is like a big onion covered with tentacles. Thousands of meters tall, it is as high as the Alcoron Mountains in the distance.
This is only the exposed part of it on the ground, the underground rhizomes, whose geometry is unknown.
Of course, half of it is wilted.
The side where [Frost Moon Swordsman] Carlo had cut a gash before was completely withered and withered, both the tentacles and the flesh wall.
A large amount of life force has been sucked by the blood worms, and this hellish creature that has lived for countless thousands of years is slowly dying.
Renne and Canossa were probably the last living people to escape from the monster's body. They were shocked when they saw the giant flower that covered the sky and the sun.
But what surprised them even more was the surrounding environment.
Ren looked at the time prompt on Zhinao. It should be daytime when they came out.
But in front of me, the sky was as dark as a solar eclipse.
There was a black gauze-like mist floating everywhere in the air, and only occasionally the halo of the sun could be seen hazy.
Lane is no stranger to the "Black Mist."
He seemed to have thought of something and asked doubtfully: "Is this the [Black Tide] breaking out?"
Before the giant flower woke up, such a thick black mist could only be seen near the sinkhole. Now, everything within the field of vision is like this, and I don’t know how much area it covers.
The giant flower woke up, gathered its petals, and created an isolation zone with a radius of dozens of kilometers in the forest.
When Ren lowered his head, he discovered that they were stepping on a piece of black hard rock. I randomly picked up a few black stones and found that they were actually coal!
"Is this going to become an open-pit mine?"
He was also surprised when he saw it, and there were some special shiny black stones everywhere in the coal seam, which were "high-burning coal" with very high purity.
However, when Ren's shock just appeared on his face, Canosha on the side looked stern and warned: "Be careful, there are a lot of monsters coming from the forest!"
When Ren heard this "very much", he felt a little uncomfortable.
As soon as Canosha said this, the Coleman soldiers who had gone out to chase the red-robed mages also strode back.
Seeing the two of them stuck in place, Bazel yelled at the top of his lungs and warned: "Boy Ren, leave quickly! There are a lot of 'living corpses' crawling out of the forest!"
As he ran, he murmured: "What a damn evil sect, those 'living corpses' can't even be beaten to death!"
"Living corpse? What the hell is that?"
This word sounded strange to Ren.
Without letting him think too much, after this group of people, he finally saw what it was that could drive the legend away. It was like a tide, hundreds of thousands of corpses.
He blurted out: "Zombie?"
However, it is different upon closer inspection.
This "zombie wave" not only includes rotting corpses that look like zombies, but also many white bones with black fire burning in their eye sockets.
Not just humans, but also various monsters.
Looking at those tall human skeletons, they are obviously the bones of the ancestors of the Coleman tribe!
“Damn it, that’s what the prophecy said!”
Ren immediately remembered the prophecy left by the ancestors of the Coleman clan that Mafa had told him before: when the seal is broken, the great terror in the black tide will come to the world, the living will die, and the dead will will emerge from the grave, and the earth will remain in darkness for eternity.
What the hell, the bones are crawling out of the soil!
It’s not an anagram at all, it’s just the literal meaning!
... ...
The "living corpse" is like a shark asking for the smell of blood, chasing after him.
At this time, Ren also saw clearly that the Coleman soldiers were running and fighting back.
Because they were all high-level warriors, their attacks could easily mow down the "living corpses" that were chasing them like a tide. Those short skeleton monsters don't seem to be too powerful. High-level warriors can easily break them into pieces with one punch...
However, the terrifying thing is that it did not slow down the pursuit of the zombie tide at all.
But as long as the skeleton was not smashed to pieces, the broken limbs and arms would even crawl towards them.
Rushing out from the beast tide, it can be seen that many Coleman soldiers have various skull heads bitten on their bodies, with severed arms and legs...
The same goes for the rotting corpses. Bows and arrows shot holes as big as fists in their bodies, but apart from slightly slowing down their forward speed, it had no impact at all.
The surviving warriors are all the elites of the Coleman clan. Although these skeleton monsters cannot be killed, they do not cause much damage.
but!
The worst is yet to come!
The place where Ren came out now has no trees, and the view is very wide.
As far as the eye can see, in the hazy black mist in the distance, huge monster figures are attracted by the breath of living people.
Among those corpses, there were some unusually tall and grotesque figures hanging around.
It was a corpse of a creature that clearly did not belong to this era.
Taking a closer look, Ren's eyelids twitched.
Obviously, this is the being who is chasing Bazel and the others!
The [Titan Golden Python], which is a kilometer long and has been extinct for at least eight thousand years...
The abyss monster [Two-Headed Troll] discovered during the Kabul civilization 10,000 years ago...
In the history books, the [Behemoth] became extinct after the last one died three thousand years ago...
Even the legendary [Titans], who were thirty to fifty meters tall, twisted huge stone sticks and strode over...
But these big guys are not living creatures, they are wet corpses, mummified corpses, rotting corpses, or skeletons.
Moreover, in the black mist in the distance, a mysterious bull-headed monster as big as the "Moro Corpse King Flower" was even seen. It is also coming here.
Ren looked at these big monsters and guessed in his heart: "This...couldn't it be that all the corpses under the ground have been dug out?"
He looked at a forest that was in a mess, and he was afraid that it was really like this.
In the extraordinary world, the stronger the strength, the less likely the corpse will decay. Who knows what kind of monsters are buried deep in this place!
It’s no wonder that Coleman’s prophecy said that “everyone is going to die.”
[Black Tide] has brought all the monsters underground to life, and they can't even kill them. How can the thatched houses of the Coleman clan stop this
These monsters are attracted by the breath of living people. How many can they kill with human power alone? This soil has existed for hundreds of millions of years. How many bones are buried underground
The earth will sink in darkness forever...
This Coleman's prophecy echoed in his mind repeatedly, and Ren's face looked a little ugly, "Is it possible that I just escaped from death in the belly of a giant flower and am going to die in this tide of corpses again?"
Is this really a fatal situation
... ...
The moment Ren was distracted as he watched the zombie tide, Bazel and the others also ran over and shouted: "Kid Ren, why are you standing there in a daze? Run away!"
Renn came to his senses and ran with everyone.
At this time, he was listening to a pale-faced Coleman soldier beside him, muttering something: "When the black tide comes, everyone will die..."
As they chanted this together, the crowd was like chanting sutras, and more and more people began to chant this sentence over and over again.
"When the black tide comes, everyone will die..."
"When the black tide comes, everyone will die..."
"..."
The atmosphere of despair spread rapidly.
This is the ancestral motto of their clan, and everyone knows it.
Moreover, they have religious beliefs and firmly believe in the prophecies of their ancestors.
The more primitive the civilization and the simpler the mind, the closer this belief is to a "devil's obstacle."
Now that disaster has struck, everyone's will is gradually dominated by the fear of death because of that "prophecy".
Moreover, it now seems that the forest is already a sea of carnivals of corpses. No matter where they run, they will be surrounded by endless "living corpses"
Sooner or later they will be killed.
This gave them the desperate thought that there was no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth, and no matter whether they broke through the siege or not, they seemed to be in despair.
Their faith has now become the biggest obstacle to survival.
Renn's heart sank as he saw the group's momentum getting lower and lower.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.
Upon closer inspection, although the "zombie tide" was large in number, it did not look as ferocious as the "beast tide". At least, these "living corpses" don't seem to have any intelligence, they just instinctively chase the breath of living people. And except for a very few, they don't move very fast. Just because it is surrounded from all directions, it gives people the feeling of being "stuck in quicksand", and the more you struggle, the "sand" around you does not decrease but increases.
A primitive civilization like the Coleman clan cannot stop it, but the Mechanical City can!
High wall armor, heavy artillery, and most importantly, mobility... Isn't this the best way to deal with this zombie wave
As a weapon of war like artillery, what I like most is the human sea tactic.
With one shot, a large area was cleared instantly.
It doesn’t matter whether you can’t be beaten to death or not, I’ll just blast you into pieces!
... ...
Thinking of this, the luster in Ren's eyes suddenly lit up.
As he ran, he suggested to the great witch priest Mafa beside him: "Mafa witch priest, this [Black Tide] manpower cannot stop it, but the Mechanical City certainly can! Let's go to the 'Kalatva Basin' now. Our Machinery City is there!”
Although he didn't know whether Tust and Udo had found the mechanical city.
But now, for the sake of morale, it is obvious that it is possible even if it is not available.
After a pause, he was afraid that these guys would lose their minds, and continued: "Elder Fufa and Elder Yimu may have established a firm foothold there. As long as we can get to the basin, we can Join them!"
"..."
Mafa glanced at Ren.
The tribe was wiped out and the seal was destroyed. The Coleman Great Witch Sacrifice was devastated.
But hearing Ren's words also reminded the old man of the tribe he had left as firewood.
Now that the Temple tribe has been completely destroyed, that tribe has become the Coleman tribe's last hope. Maybe, they are really still alive...
Thinking of this, the old man saw a light that belonged to a living person in his eyes.
And at this moment, it seemed that fate was also speaking for Ren.
At this moment, a high-pitched hawk chirped in the sky, shocking the sky.
Chirp~
Chirp~
Taking a closer look, what was hovering in the sky was a blue-tailed eagle!
Those were the "scouts" domesticated by the Colemans, and they did not suffer much harm in this war.
Now, they bring news from the team from the "Kalatwa Basin"!
... ...
Hear the hawk's call.
One of Kalman's animal-taming priests blew his whistle, and the blue-tailed eagle swooped down from the sky and landed on the priest's arm.
The priest took off the piece of paper and handed it to the great witch Mafa.
After Mafa saw it, her turbid eyes suddenly lit up and she said to Ren, "That's good news."
Ren took a look and found out that it was Tust and Udo's team that had found the "wreck of the mechanical city" and had established a foothold on the wreckage!
He was overjoyed: "I really found it!"
At this moment, even though Mafa himself didn't have much desire to survive, his expression suddenly brightened because he cared about the living tribesmen.
He raised his arms and shouted, "Soldiers! Let's go south. In the Kalatwa Basin where earth dragons are everywhere, the tribesmen led by the two elders Ffa and Imyu are waiting for us to join..."
Sure enough, the call of the Great Witch Festival is the best "chicken blood" for this group of Coleman warriors.
As soon as these words came out, the morale, which had been extremely low just now, instantly became high!
This news was top secret before, and these surviving Coleman warriors seemed to think that they were the only remaining fire in the tribe. Now that they heard the news that the tribesmen who traveled south before were still alive, their desire to survive naturally became stronger and stronger.
"That tribe is still alive, so there is still hope for our Coleman tribe!"
"Let's go! Go and join the clansmen!"
"..."
Everyone seemed to have come to life. They had strength in drawing bows and arrows, and they also had strength in running.
And just as everyone rushed out of the open-pit mining area created by Juhua, good news came one after another!
They were surprised to find that the resurrected "living corpses" seemed to be only sensitive to human breath, and were completely blind to monsters!
Just after they rushed into the forest, some magical beasts ran out one after another in the dense forest.
It was a tamed monster of the Coleman clan. The tribe was in trouble, and they kept wandering in the forest. After smelling the familiar scent of their master, they ran over again!
Although there were not many in number, the dozen or so Warcraft mounts were enough to take away all the wounded.
The speed of the large force's surprise attack instantly increased many times!
In this way, Ren and his group of more than 200 people broke through the zombie tide circle that had not yet completely closed, and broke out towards the "Kalatva Basin" to the south...
