Outside the stone forest.
"Captain Rida, we're ready." Yanbing said, turning back while holding the electronic board.
Lida had already assigned tasks to Tianyang and other captains. She nodded and said, "Very good, prepare to detonate."
She turned around and looked at Tianyang and the others: "Are you ready?"
Kun Lan laughed loudly: "Anytime is fine. I love this kind of thing of kicking a fallen dog."
Tianyang looked at him silently.
You have changed. You used to prefer single combat...
"If you're ready, then let's go!"
At Rita's command, everyone entered the stone forest in an orderly manner. When the giant vampire corpse could be vaguely seen, people stopped and looked towards the bald lady.
Lida took a remote control and snapped her fingers: "Fortresses, it's time to work."
Several fortresses, including Qilong, stepped out from the crowd and began to cast star barriers on the captains and ascenders.
After this work was completed, Lida pressed the remote control. Immediately, in the darkness in the distance, there was a violent explosion, and flames rose up, red and flying, turning into a fireball.
As soon as the giant corpse screamed, its huge figure was engulfed in more fireballs.
The ground shook violently, and cracks spread out from the explosion point in all directions.
Tianyang secretly communicated with the black fog, extended his thoughts, and saw that in the violent explosion, the blood-sucking monster was not only blown to pieces, but also the ground around it exploded and sank, and the original gap was further torn and expanded.
As the ground sank, the monster also fell down. It stretched out its long arms and swung its tentacles, trying to grab the ground and stabilize its body.
But all this was within Rita's expectations. The high explosives installed in the intelligent weapons detonated a large area of the ground near the vampire giant corpse, causing collapse of more than hundreds of square meters.
The giant corpse grabbed the ground, but before it could climb up, the ground collapsed and it could only fall down with the debris.
The explosion was over, but the flames were still raging and thick smoke was rising.
But people did not give the monster time to breathe. Several operators of the Yanbing controlled several Queens and rushed over. All the weapon platforms were opened, and they used sensors to lock onto the giant corpse underground. As soon as they got close to the gap in the ground, they released full firepower and sent missiles, light beams, etc. in.
Next came the elemental hearts and hunters like Rida. They went around to the other side, distanced themselves from the intelligent weapons, and sent fireballs, wind blades, and arrows to the vampire giants to suppress them.
Finally, even the soldiers rushed to the gap, raised their rifles, threw grenades, and did what they could.
As for Ascendants like Tianyang who are good at close combat, they should be prepared. Once the giant corpse rushes out of the ground, that will be their job.
However, it seemed that because it was first exploded by high explosives and then suppressed by the intelligent weapons and firepower of other personnel, the vampire giant corpse howled underground but did not crawl out.
Seeing this, Rita and two Level 3 Flamebringers pulled their hands free and worked together to prepare a fire ability.
Not long after, a rich-colored pillar of fire erupted from the underground gap. Like a volcanic eruption, the eruption of the fire column caused violent vibrations and caused the cracks near the gap to increase again.
Similar columns of fire were released five times.
The last time, Rita did it alone.
It was not until then that the bald lady made a gesture to stop firing, and thick smoke and flying dust were seen in the gap.
Fire flashed through the dust and smoke, and a large amount of heat waves were released from the gap in the ground, forcing the intelligent weapons and people to retreat.
The blood-sucking monster did not resist and lost its breath under such heavy bombardment.
The battle was unexpectedly easy and the result was gratifying. Tianyang originally thought that it would take at least a fierce battle to resolve the giant vampire corpse.
Unexpectedly, the thing was put away like this.
However, through tonight's battle, Lida gave Tianyang an impressive strategic lesson.
She used practical actions to show Tianyang that not all battles require direct confrontation with the enemy.
Sometimes, you can easily win by taking advantage of the enemy's weaknesses and combining them with the surrounding environment.
Of course, battle examples like this are difficult to replicate. After all, it is impossible for the enemies encountered every time to be of the same type, with the same weaknesses, and in the same environment.
However, it was enough to bring Tianyang great revelation.
Next, it’s time to rest and explore.
Lida and other sublimators who had consumed a lot of star energy were resting near the gap. In this stone forest area, except for the monster that had been destroyed, there were no signs of other biological activities.
Given the territorial nature of this blood-sucking monster, I believe there is no need to worry about being attacked.
Tianyang, Kunlan and other people who did not take action retained their physical strength and star energy intact, and naturally took on the task of exploration.
They used ropes to rappel into the underground space below to survey the geology and determine whether it could support the passage of large vehicles.
On the other hand, it is to search and recycle material items that monsters may have left behind.
When the rope was lowered about seventy or eighty meters, Tianyang saw the ground. He jumped to the ground and, according to the procedure, fired a flare into the dark area in the distance.
The light immediately illuminated the vast area, and with the help of the light, Tianyang saw that this was a huge underground hall.
As the lair of that kind of giant vampire zombie, it is not known whether this place was dug or invaded by some other means to create a spacious space.
There are stalagmites supporting the dome, and the smallest one among them requires more than ten or twenty people to hug it.
The ground was littered with white bones, and it looked like a grave.
In the middle of this "tomb pit", it was ravaged by fire. Not only did a large hole burn out of the ground, but the rocks on the surface have also become crystallized.
On this crystalline ground lay the body of a giant corpse, which was almost completely burnt, with only a few parts melting.
Some soldiers have already begun to move towards the hill of corpses, searching for possible remains.
Tianyang walked to the end of the underground hall.
Yes, although this underground hall is large, it has an end, which means that the underground monsters' nests are not connected to each other.
“This place is really big.”
Kunlan looked around and exclaimed, "This is bigger than any cave I've ever stayed in in the wilderness."
"You know, I lived in a cave for a while. It was like a natural maze."
"I originally thought that it was the largest underground space I had ever seen, but now it seems that it is not."
Tianyang smiled but did not respond. After all, he lacked knowledge in this area, so he did not comment.
He walked to another stalagmite, raised his hand and knocked it. It felt hard, and looking along the stalagmite, he could see that there was something on the top of the rock.
A bunch of dark holes.
Tian Yang pointed upwards and said, "That monster should be using these holes to send out its blood-sucking tentacles."
Kun Lan put his hands on his chest and nodded, "This thing is not stupid. It hides itself underground and relies on sending out tentacles to suck blood. If we don't blow it out, it will be dangerous when our convoy passes by."
"Tell me, how many monsters like this are there in Shilin?"
Tianyang did not answer this question, and even did not want to think about it.
The world of rebellion is too big, and every world of rebellion is like this. Human beings’ poor imagination cannot imagine how many secrets are hidden in these dark worlds.
After using special instruments to survey and confirm that the hardness of these stalagmites was sufficient to support the top of the rock and allow the passage of extra-large vehicles such as base vehicles, Tianyang and other Ascendants left the underground hall first and left the recycling work to the soldiers.
After returning to the ground, Tianyang and his team got a day to rest as they had just experienced a battle and had some materials to recover.
He built himself a marching tent so that he could lie on the ground covered with a marching mat when he rested, rather than in the uncomfortable recliner in the chariot.
But Tianyang was not sleepy yet, and the current time was seven o'clock in the evening in the fortress.
Tianyang's biological clock made him feel hungry. He originally wanted to eat some food bars, but he smelled the aroma of meat coming from outside.
He walked out of the tent and saw Sean and others had made a fire. There was a pot on the fire and they seemed to be cooking something.
Tianyang walked over: "Looks like we're going to have something delicious tonight."
Hearing his voice, Sean and the others turned around, and Yan Bing waved his hand and said, "Captain, come quickly, Sean is making their Silver Dragon Castle's specialties."
Sean laughed and said, "It's just a very ordinary stew, not a delicacy."
Qiulong swallowed his saliva and said, "It's better than chewing on a food stick."
Tianyang strongly agrees with this point.
He sat next to Yanbing and watched Sean take out a can, open it, and pour out the chopped meat.
Sean put the meat into the prepared bowl, took out the seasoning box he had prepared, and sprinkled salt and some black powder on the meat in the bowl.
The powder exudes a spicy scent that makes one's mouth water just by taking a sniff.
After evenly applying salt and seasonings on the meat, Sean put carrots and some vegetables into the boiling pot.
After the fragrance permeated the air, Sean poured the meat into the pot. After stewing it for about 20 minutes, he added some shredded potatoes.
At this time, Sean poured sand and rocks into the fire to reduce the flames and simmer it slowly.
Gradually, the air was filled with the rich aroma of meat, as well as the fresh fragrance of potatoes, carrots and other condiments.
Qiulong wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "Sean, when can we eat?"
Sean smiled and shook his head, "It's best to stew it for another forty minutes. By then, the meat will melt in your mouth."
"But I don't think you can wait that long. So, in twenty minutes, you can eat."
Qiu Long sighed: "It will take another twenty minutes. Let's chat. If we don't distract ourselves, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for that long."
Sean smiled: "So what do you want to talk about."
Qiu Long's eyes sparkled: "Let's talk about the girls in your Western Continent. Do they also have golden hair like you?"
