The bird seemed to be quite knowledgeable about the civilization of the opposite world. The girl squatted near the pedestal, looking at the inscription on it.
Tianyang walked up to her and asked, "Did you see anything?"
The bird raised its head, a little embarrassed on its face: "Although I have learned the language of the reverse world, I am not very proficient in it. I can only barely understand the general idea."
"You mean, these are the characters of the anti-world, not the symbols of the dark people?" Tianyang asked curiously.
The bird nodded gently. "Yes, these are words from the Reverse Realm. For example, this word is called 'sacred tree'. And this one is 'blessing'. It seems that the residents of the Reverse Realm have discovered some magical tree here and are praying for its protection."
Tian Yang couldn't help but ask, "What they found, couldn't it be the Dead Spirit Tree? If so, the Dead Spirit Tree wasn't discovered after the Reverse Realm became like this? It existed long before the residents of the Reverse Realm completely disappeared?"
The little bird clapped his hands and stood up, clasping his hands together in thought: "The civilization level of the Reverse Realm is not low, and the productivity is very high. Such a civilization usually has reservations about worshipping gods."
"It's hard to imagine that a life bathed in the light of civilization would sacrifice the lives of its own kind. If it went to this extent, it must have been done by some extreme-minded people. Or, perhaps when the Dead Spirit Tree was discovered, the Reverse Realm had already reached a certain point of despair and was irreversible."
"In this situation, when human power is powerless, we turn to the gods for help."
Of course, this is just Xiaoniao's guess. Whether it is true or not cannot be verified just by looking at the altar in front of him.
Xie Miao's voice rang out at the entrance of the hall: "What are you doing? Why are you stopping? Hurry up and leave! It's just a pile of corpses, what's so good about it!"
Xiao Niao's face suddenly darkened: "This bastard really thinks he is the commander, giving orders. If he has the guts, he should lead the way forward."
Tianyang smiled, ignored Xie Miao, made a gesture, and the team continued on their journey.
Led by Yan Bing, they soon arrived at a huge space in the belly of the mountain. They thought that the underground hall was big enough, but unexpectedly, compared with this place, the underground hall with the altar was really dwarfed.
In the immeasurable vast space, there are clumps of mist crystals growing. The deep purple light emitted by the mist crystals barely illuminates the space.
Looking in from the entrance, the ground here is rugged and uneven, with slopes rising and falling, like waves frozen in time.
This space is supported by stone pillars of various sizes. Like the underground hall, those stone pillars are also covered with patches of pathological bacteria unique to the reverse world.
There is even a small pond in front of the mountain, with a thin river extending on both sides of the pond, and it is unknown where it leads to.
Purple light flickered in the pool water, and Tianyang used his electronic eyes to get closer, and found that the bottom of the pool was covered with mist crystals. They piled together like a huge gem immersed in the water.
Right in the middle of the "gem" there grew a tree. The tree wasn't necessarily majestic, but it was definitely weird.
In Tianyang's tactical eyes, there was a human female embedded in the middle of the tree. She looked to be about 27 or 28 years old, with a beautiful face.
She closed her eyes, as if she was sleeping, and crossed her arms over her chest, blocking out the infinite scenery.
Countless branches entangled her body, connecting her closely to the tree. The crown of the strange tree was leafless, and the branches were extremely thick.
The branches were as thick as arms, and each one had a water droplet hanging from its end.
The drop-shaped "fruit" looked like liquid covered by a thin film, with its surface undulating from time to time.
When Tianyang's eyes accidentally swept across a fruit, a face suddenly appeared on the surface of that thing!
Although he had never seen the undead tree with his own eyes, at this moment, Tianyang was sure that it was it.
Sure enough, when he looked around the trees, he found figures swaying around!
It's the prowlers, those things that stagger and move around aimlessly nearby.
Among them, Tianyang also saw an exceptionally tall and strong figure. The ordinary wanderer only came to its chest. It also had twisted limbs, but these limbs were very thick.
Especially its deformed right hand that almost hung to the ground. Its arm was almost as wide as Tianyang's thigh, and its palm was frighteningly large.
"Is that thing also a wanderer?" The bird put down a telescope and seemed to have discovered the tall figure.
Tian Yang said softly: "Maybe, but we have to be thankful that the number of wanderers is less than I thought."
Yan Bing apologized, "We left after we found the dead tree, and didn't carefully observe the number of wanderers here."
"It doesn't matter... "
Tian Yang patted his shoulder. At this time, Xie Miao's voice came from behind: "Why did you stop again? Isn't the dead tree in there? Hurry up and rush, or are you scared silly by a few wanderers?"
His voice was quite loud, especially in such a silent space, it was infinitely amplified.
Fortunately, the Prowler has almost no five senses, so even if you yell in front of it, it won't hear you.
Even so, Xie Miao's attitude still makes it difficult for people to have a good impression of him.
Xiao Niao snorted and whispered, "Fortunately, he is only a temporary commander. If he really becomes the captain one day, I will feel sorry for his teammates."
Several soldiers nearby couldn't help laughing.
Xie Miao seemed to have heard it, and said in an unhappy tone: "What are you laughing at? Are you deaf? Attack! I order you to attack!"
Tianyang made a gesture: "Everyone, get ready and form a penetration formation. Xiaoniao and I will lead the way, and you guard the two wings. Don't let the Wanderers break up the formation."
"Our target is the dead tree. Don't get entangled with the wanderer. If there are any omissions, let the troops behind deal with them. Do you understand?"
Including Yanbing, more than a dozen soldiers nodded heavily.
Tianyang raised his rifle, but he didn't care when he saw that Xiaoniao had no intention of using the gun. Xiaoniao was at least a Level 3 Ascendant, one level higher than him, so he didn't need to worry about her.
When Tianyang rushed out first, the bird quickly caught up with him and ran beside the boy.
More than a dozen soldiers were divided into two teams and followed closely behind the two people in front. The vanguard rushed into the space inside the mountain.
Tianyang raised his hand and gestured, and a soldier on each wing raised his gun and fired a flare.
The sudden release of light illuminated the nearby space, leaving those twisted monsters in the belly of the mountain nowhere to hide!
Tianyang raised his gun and fired at a wanderer a hundred steps ahead. A beam of azure light broke through the air and hit the will cage in the target's chest!
A hole was blasted in the cage, and blue spots were flickering on the edge, like a brilliant starry sky.
The wanderer fell to the ground without even a grunt, and its body began to decompose and rot.
However, the Prowler has a swarm mind
When a monster is attacked, its kind nearby begin to rush toward the vanguard.
At this time, several elemental javelins fell on the area where the wanderers were most concentrated, and the elemental storm that exploded knocked down a small group of monsters.
Unfortunately, the power of the elemental javelins was limited, and soon several of the knocked down monsters got up again.
The monsters from the opposite world will never stop as long as the cage of will is not destroyed!
While running, Tianyang fired a burst of shots and cleared out some of the wanderers blocking the way ahead.
Suddenly, I felt the air around me get cold, and then there was a flash of cold white light in the corner of my eyes. The cold light, as thin as a cicada's wing, cut away in an instant and passed through the bodies of several wanderers in front of me.
After the light disappeared, the speed of those wanderers suddenly slowed down, and frost spread on their chests.
The white frost spread out a frost line, and with a crackling sound, the frost line burst, and those wanderers along with the cages on their chests were split into two!
Tianyang couldn't help but look at the bird next to him. The white rapier that the girl had hung at her waist was finally unsheathed. The slender sword with a width of only 4 cm made people worry whether it would break suddenly.
But when the bird wielded this sword, it could produce pieces of frosty sword energy. Under the bird's sword, the wanderers were no match for it.
Tianyang couldn't help but look at the white sword a few more times. Although they were both warriors, Lao Xu didn't have the same powerful fighting ability as Xiaoniao.
Even though Old Xu always takes the opportunity to slack off, Tian Yang has never seen him use any abilities similar to sword energy during the several missions he has been on with him.
I think this frosty sword energy should be related to the bird's sword.
Suddenly, an earth-shaking roar sounded in front.
Tianyang looked over quickly and saw that the wanderers in front were thrown out by something. Those twisted figures like lepers kept flying left and right.
When a Wanderer blocking the front suddenly flew out sideways, Tianyang saw it. The tall Wanderer with a deformed right hand opened its mouth and let out a dull roar, then rushed forward with all its strength.
Tianyang raised his hand, pointed the gun at the cage on the other person's chest, and fired a burst of shots!
The mutated wanderer raised his exaggerated arms, spread his palms, and protected his chest.
The star element beam hit its arm, but failed to penetrate it, only shooting off pieces of flesh from its arm.
Tianyang exclaimed, "Everyone disperse!"
He ducked forward, allowing the mutated wanderer's deformed thick arm to sweep away everything.
A strangely cold aura suddenly appeared, like frost in winter, and came to Tianyang behind the mutant wanderer. As soon as he grasped the handle of the Red Moon Saber, he saw the bird soaring into the sky and the rapier slashed vertically.
There was a silver light like hoarfrost in the air, which lingered for a long time, and even a few frost flakes floated down from above Tianyang's head.
The mutated wanderer stopped operating, and after a moment, it fell to the ground.
Tian Yang quickly dodged to the side to avoid being crushed by the big guy. Looking down at the ground, he saw that the Wanderer had been chopped off from head to waist.
It was just that frost had formed on the edges of the wound, so no blood like black mud flowed out. But at this moment, its body began to decompose like an ordinary wanderer.
Looking at the bird again, Tianyang found it hard to connect the confused girl who fell from the sensor tower with the female warrior in front of him with a faint frosty aura surrounding her.
