The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 1709: Setting changes

Views:

Although Lily had already slowed down with all her strength, the movement of a five-meter-tall war behemoth that was wearing heavy armor slammed into the city wall still startled the city guards. Some of them had just been replaced and rested behind After hearing the loud noise, most of the wounded soldiers even thought that the city wall had finally been breached—they raised their heads in horror and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a nose as big as a calf dangling from the top of the city. go.

Lily scratched and scratched on the wall of White Maple Leaf City with her four claws, trying her best to climb over the wall, but the towering and vertical wall and the slippery magic shield made it difficult for her to achieve her goal. The husky girl was anxious Jumping up and down outside, shouting loudly while jumping hard: "Open the door, open the door! Let us go in! Don't you see that we are here to help!?"

The defenders of the city were already in a mess at this time. Of course they could see that the giant beast in front of them was here to help. However, the city's highest defensive barrier has been activated. Opening the gate at this time means temporarily closing the magic barrier on the front of the city. , and the flame monsters outside have gathered a new wave of offensive at this time, it is obviously not a decision that a group of front-line soldiers can make to close the barrier in this case-in fact, even the commanders who are standing on the top of the city are afraid. Do not have this permission. They had to send messengers to the fortress in the city, where the lord and other authorized generals were coordinating the overall situation.

At this time, a new wave of monsters has gathered again—in fact, it has surpassed the concept of "a group of monsters". Countless humanoid creatures burning with flames are densely arranged and advancing steadily on the Great Plains. There was an endless sea of flames, and this sea of flames was still bombarding White Maple Leaf City with the firepower of tens of thousands of fireballs per second. How can it be described as spectacular

In the case of charging at full speed, Lily could still break through with her close-in guns and armored shields, but now that she has stopped, seeing the scene of the monster army gathering again, she was immediately frightened all over her body. The hair stood on end, and the husky girl yelled, turned her head and rushed towards the city wall—

Lily crossed the city wall in a very unsightly posture, and Lily proved what it is to jump over the wall in a hurry with her own actions.

Fortunately, the city shield technology of this Laherian planet has not developed to the level of a full-coverage magic giant screen, but is realized by embedding magic stones in the solid city walls and covering the walls with a magic barrier. Otherwise, Lily might not be able to get in even if she jumps over the wall in a hurry...

The soldiers guarding the city watched such a huge beast jump over the city wall from above their heads, and they were all stunned. Some of them didn't even notice that the weapons in their hands fell to the ground, until the commander of the position reacted and shouted loudly to reorganize the defense. The soldiers woke up one by one.

At this moment, Lily had already crossed the city wall and landed safely on an open space behind the city wall... well, not very safely.

The teammates fixed on the "passenger seat" have withstood the triple test of rolling deceleration, humiliating wall climbing, and finally dog jumping over the wall. Basically, none of them has a normal face, and even the super-strong Izaks' eyes are a little dizzy. Stupid, let alone others.

Frankly speaking, if they weren't worried about Gou Meizi getting mad, they would have vomited it out a long time ago.

"I'll go... You've been tossing around for a while..." Hao Ren unbuttoned the seat on his sad face, and complained as he stood up, "Next time before climbing a wall or braking, can you tell me that there are still several people on your back?" Did you forget?"

"How can I remember?" Lily yelled while squatting down and scratching her ears. "Normally, there is no one on my back..."

Hao Ren almost fell back when he stood up: "Hey, why did you squat down all of a sudden... don't shake!"

However, he was a step too late in reminding Lily, who had already started shaking her hair vigorously: Although she had a thick armor and didn't have to worry about getting dust and gravel, she still sweated a little after running all the way. Before the environmental circulation system in the armor took effect, she subconsciously began to shake her fur.

Everyone was thrown out...

"Woo..." Lily looked down at the teammates thrown out by her in embarrassment, and couldn't help lying down and covering her head with her paws: "I didn't mean to..."

"I don't want to ride on a big dog anymore." Although Vivienne could fly, she was thrown off by surprise just now. "It's a pity that I thought it would be very interesting."

"Finally back to White Maple Leaf City." Nangong Sanba had recovered from the dizziness at this time, he saw a wave of soldiers gathered around him, so he came to Hao Ren and asked in a low voice, "What shall we do next? "

Hao Ren glanced at Leah who was standing next to him with a bewildered face: "Let's go to the mage area, Leah's magic tower."

"Then what about these people?" Nangong Wuyue pointed at the soldiers with the expression of three points of bewilderment, three points of nervousness and four points of leading me X your uncle with the tip of her tail as she said: They all stayed on the city wall The reserve team who were preparing to participate in the follow-up defense battle did not expect that a siege monster armed to the tip of its tail would descend from the sky before the order to go up the city wall. This was obviously beyond their expectations.

After thinking for a while, Hao Ren walked up to Lily who was in a daze, and took out a microphone from the slot in the latter's leg armor and put it to his mouth: "Ahem..."

A piercing electric sound suddenly resounded through the entire block.

"Please let me go. We are here to help defend the city. We have repelled a wave of attacks from the front of the city just now, but the defense of the mage area is weak now. We must rush over as soon as possible. Please cooperate, repeat, please cooperate. .”

Lily stared at Hao Ren in a daze: "Landlord, why do I still have this on me?"

"It's been said that your equipment is a comprehensive field support module. As a mobile base, what can you do if it has less functions?" Hao Ren rolled his eyes and glanced at Lily, "You also have an ice cream machine behind your neck."

Lily: "... Landlord, I always feel like I've been tricked by you!"

Hao Ren laughed dryly, ignoring the husky girl's questioning. At this time, the surrounding soldiers seemed to have received an order from the city wall and began to disperse in an orderly manner, but a man who looked like a garrison officer came to Hao Ren. In front of Ren.

"No matter who you are, White Maple Leaf City is grateful for your help," the garrison officer stood up straight and said forcefully, "But the situation is special now, and the order I received is to find out where you all came from..."

"They are the helpers I found!" At this time, Liya, who had been offline for a long time, seemed to finally wake up. Although the development of the situation in front of her was still beyond her comprehension, she still judged what she should say , "Mercenaries from other places are very reliable."

The garrison officer glanced at Leah, as if he recognized the identity of this shabby mage: "You are... the poorest one in the mage district..."

"It's the smartest one!" Miss Lia waved her iron staff vigorously, "I'm a registered great magician and scholar of ancient civilizations! And I also recruited a team of super powerful mercenaries to help guard City! Just based on what you said just now, I have to ask you two hundred gold coins more, do you understand?"

The garrison officer took two steps back subconsciously, and he didn't know whether he was afraid of Leah's yelling or the iron staff in her hand: "Okay, I understand, I will report the truth to my superiors..."

This little officer has already understood that neither the giant siege beast in front of him nor the berserker mage wielding an iron staff is a problem that he can handle. After asking the question, he can't wait to run away - anyway, the group of people in front of him really helped repel a wave of offensive, and now there are well-known figures in the city jumping out to prove the identity of these people, if he talks too much, he really doesn't cherish his life up.

Taking advantage of this gap, Hao Ren immediately urged everyone to go to the mage area before more accidents occurred.

"Why are you going to my mage tower?" Although Liya followed the team confusedly, her theoretical employer was the most confused one at this time, "Oh, I see, you are still planning to rob me Is that right? That’s not right! Looking at the equipment you’re displaying now, you must be richer than me! Even if my mage’s tower is sold along with the land, it probably won’t be enough for Miss Lily to have the set. Armor... Wait, I understand what's going on! You want me to go home and pack my luggage and prepare to run? Do you think White Maple Leaf City can't be defended anymore? To be honest, I also think it's a bit precarious to defend this city. But no matter how you say it is my home here, I still have some feelings... Hey, why don't you talk?"

"Please, miss, can you restrain your imagination a little bit?" Hao Ren looked at this curious scholar with a headache and a strong ability to think wildly. "We went to your mage tower to check the information."

"Look up the information?! Is this critical?" Leah was stunned. "I always thought it was weird enough that I activated the alchemy bomb made by my teacher before learning how to dismantle it..."

Hao Ren: "..."

In the time it takes to speak, everyone has arrived at the mage area in the south of the city, which has also entered a state of battle.

The mage towers are all lit up with orange beams representing the enemy's attack. Huge magical energy is extracted from various mana nodes and continuously injected into the defense system of White Maple Leaf City. Various types of combat puppets Under the command of their masters, they went to the area where the fire was being fought in batches.

This "Holy Land of Knowledge and Mysteries" has completely lost the detached and comfortable appearance of the past at this moment.

Due to the absence of the master, Leah's mage tower is the only building that is not in combat state, but this dilapidated and old tower stands alone in the corner, and no one pays attention to it.

After turning Lily back into the original form, the group rushed into the Mage Tower and went straight to the library on the second floor.

Liya followed without knowing why, and then saw the group of people start to churn before those old classics. She was at a loss: "What are you looking for? If you really want to find some important information, you can Go to the library on the upper level, it's just some non-authoritative recreational reading..."

Hao Ren interrupted Ms. Mage, he picked up an old book and shook it in the air: "No, I have already found it."

That book is not an authoritative academic work, but just a "popular science book" on the study of the Great Tunnel that was dismissed as "absurd and weird" by the academic circle. Its author is Roen Zell, an unknown "scholar" .

Hao Ren opened the book and quickly found a description of the Great Tunnel.

On those yellowed pages, Ronzell described his discovery of the Great Tunnel in this way: "... I looked directly at the Great Tunnel, and what I saw was pure darkness... There was no up, down, left, or right in the Great Tunnel, and there was nothing fixed. There are only all kinds of grotesque fragments floating in nothingness... It's like a destroyed world, and its fragments are floating inside the large tunnel... I, Ron Zell, can be quite responsible It is announced that the big tunnel is a different space, except for some absurd images, we can't find any logical things inside it."

Looking at the description on the page, Lily couldn't help but widen her eyes: "That's not what was written in this book when we saw it last time!"

"These words... are different from what we remember," Nangong Sanba was also dumbfounded, and he also found other books, which he had read before, "and these, here is the description of the Great Tunnel It's all changed too, there isn't a single book about poison gas and monsters anymore..."

Elizabeth blinked: "Uncle Ren, what's going on?"

Hao Ren didn't show much shock when he saw the changed text. He just took a deep breath and nodded slightly to Vivian.

"The setting has changed," he said.
