That afternoon, Black Pool North Shore.
Huchi, wheeze--
Seven dark red biochemical meat tubes as thick as century-old trees, half-hidden under layers of weathered death armor on the shore, are still pulsing and undulating violently in a rhythmic manner.
It was as if the thirty-meter [Swarm-Eater Beast] that had just been torn to pieces on the hillside and the hunting human war flag planted on the top of the high cliff had nothing to do with their icy cycle.
The thick, smelly, high-pressure black slurry was forcibly extracted from the dark pool water, stretched across the layers of Weathered Dead Shell, and continuously pressed into the main conveying ditch at the rear.
[Vanguard Across the Realm] Crouched on one knee next to a newly calibrated pipeline node, raised his long knife slightly, and peeled off a layer of hard death armor covering the surface.
There is no warm divine golden film underneath.
Only the weathered stone trough, which had been soaked in highly toxic acid and turned black and festering, was sloping all the way down to the rolling water below the cliff.
"Saw right here."
[Vanguard Across the Realm] used the tip of the knife to carve a white cross mark on the exposed pipe wall, and looked back at the engineer Mecha who was already waiting:
"Use a winch to pull the fracture to the old stone trough below. Don't let the polluted slurry rush into our position along the slope."
"Okay! Brothers, turn on the switch!!"
The two heavy equipment Mecha stepped firmly on the hard rock, and the thickened synthetic tow cable instantly tightened like iron, forcibly raising the outermost meat tube by half a meter from the depth of the stone trough!
Buzz--boom boom!!
The biochemical heavy-duty bone-breaking saw roared and exploded! The high-speed rotating super-carbide saw teeth wrapped in sparks and severely bit the outer cuticle of the meat tube!
The severe pain caused the entire meat tube to spasm crazily and violently inward, and several anchoring meat roots buried under the stone layer suddenly straightened. The huge pulling force even dragged the Mecha chassis, which weighed several tons, to slide forward!
Whoosh!
A void of death swept across the ground!
[Vanguard Across the Realm] The sword was like lightning. Wherever the blade passed, several main roots were cut off in the air. He stepped on the upturned bone plates and shouted coldly:
"Keep pressing! Don't stop!!"
Pfft----!!
The crisp sound of high-pressure explosion resounded through the cliff!
The shore section of Dark Red Flesh Tube was completely cut off, and the thick, smelly black slurry spurted out like a high-pressure water cannon along with the torn membrane! The Mecha winch pulled the fracture outward, and the black waterfall of Berserk poured down along the old stone trough, crashing back into the cold Black Pool below!
The pipes extending outward on the north bank are shriveled up and shrunk visibly to the naked eye.
Dozens of small slurry outlets that used to spit out black slurry in the cracks in the rocks stopped flowing one after another!
"The first one is done! Change positions!!"
Before the shouts could even reach the ground, a dense and numbing sound of footsteps suddenly exploded from the depths of the weathered rock ravine on the flanks!
"Ho--!!"
Dozens of Tier-Two Hard-Shell Kinfolks that smelled the broken blood rushed out along the steep slope. The shield warriors in the front row opened their mouths full of oil, and the enchanted Bone Cannons behind them all pressed down and locked:
"I've cut off your milk supply, are you in a hurry?!"
"Stand up in line! Everyone--fire!!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sky was filled with fire, and the armor-breaking bone spears poured down like a torrential rain, blasting the charging insect swarms into pieces and sending them flying back into the deep ditch!
Further away, a Tier Three Heavy-Armored Fiend that was trying to sneak attack the construction position just poked its head out, and faced a thunderbolt that was as thick as a bucket!
[Thunder King] Stretch Thunder Wings swooped past, drew the staff, and used the guerrilla firepower of Berserk to force it to the dry rocky beach battlefield on the other side:
"The big one is challenging me! Don't disturb the workers!!"
The dusk is dim.
When the last Bio-Chemical Heavy Saw made a high-heat shutdown sound, the seventh thick main slurry conveying pipe was finally sawn to pieces amidst the harsh roar, and the broken part was pulled into the drainage trough on the side of the pool.
Seven shore pipes were deflated. On the north shore, this super "gas station" that transported nutrients to the Abyss army, they finally pulled out the oil pipeline in front of them.
"Seven roots, live together!"
The captain of the craftsman wiped off the black mud on his goggles and laughed loudly on the channel, "Brothers in the logistics department, listen up! If there is another new Parasitic Insect on the front line in the future, don't blame me for the lack of sharpness of the saw!!"
[Vanguard Across the Realm] He raised his arms and shook off the blood on the blade, casting his deep gaze towards the vast heart of the pond, which was still surging even though its seven lifelines were cut off.
The water level has not dropped half an inch.
In the undercurrent deep in the thick fog, vague shadows still rise and fall with the water, as if hiding a silent and dormant terror.
He sheathed the long sword and opened the holographic sand table jointly drawn by both sides of the Taiwan Strait with one hand:
"The defense line on the north bank is nailed down. The combat groups are advancing eastward along the edge of the pool to respond. The brothers on the south bank... it's time to come over too!"
Two days later in the evening, on the east bank, there was a broken and weathered Shiliang Pass.
"It's on the opposite side! Turn on the signal! Don't shoot randomly, we are one of our own!!"
A roar full of ecstasy and excitement suddenly penetrated the collapsed boulder and echoed loudly among the dead cliffs!
Just as the advancing vanguard of the North Shore crushed the last Tier Two Parasitic Insect into the mud, three beams of blazing white lights flashed rhythmically in Tactical Visor!
Immediately afterwards, the Tier Two heavy shield, which was riddled with holes by strong acid but still stubbornly held up the front row, crashed into the last stone wall partition!
Behind the shield, a young face covered in stone powder and blood, but with an extremely bright smile, was revealed.
"South Shore Pioneer Third Regiment!!"
The shield hand on the south bank pushed away his mask, wiped the sweat from his face, and roared at the black figure on the opposite side, "If you don't push over, I'm going to use a high-explosive detonator to blow this rotten bone flat!!"
"Blow you uncle! I just climbed down from above!!"
The soldiers on the north bank laughed wildly and stretched out their hands, grabbing the edge of the opponent's shield stuck between the broken bones, and working together to pull the man and shield out. Four or five Mecha soldiers and Berserker immediately pressed against the loose broken bones next to them, and pushed outward at the same time--
Boom!
The boulder with broken bones stuck in the center of the pass was overturned!
The next moment, two Expeditionary Army regiments that set off from different directions and fought their way through the entire canyon in a pool of blood collided with each other amid the billowing dust and smoke!
Heavy shields collided fiercely with heavy shields, combat boots were stepped on hard, and the blood-stained warriors hugged each other and laughed. The battle report on the channel was completely drowned out by the cheers that overturned the Tianling Cap in this second:
"Let's meet up!!"
"The two sides of the Taiwan Strait are completely connected!! The Eastern Corridor is completely opened!!"
Two full days of carpet cleaning!
The south bank is pushed eastward along Old Bone Platform, and the north bank is crossed eastward along the cliff. If there is a live vein, avoid it, and if it encounters Lesion, pull out! Players take turns to go offline, and come back to take over after sleeping enough in reality, but the sound of artillery at the front does not stop for a moment.
But at this moment, the Abyss death zone that once stood between the two main forces, forcing supplies and retreating teams to take the long way, was cut by Fourth Calamity from both ends at the same time, forcibly cutting it into a smooth road!
A narrow-body carrier loaded with conventional medicine boxes and reinforced bone plates was smoothly pushed through the pass amidst cheers and stopped firmly on the solid road on the north bank.
The east coast is open!
Logistics supplies finally have a shorter shore road, and the wounded can also turn to South Slope via the east coast, and then connect to the side road leading to the port!
"Those who have lost more than half of their battle losses should go back to the rear to replenish their armor! Move up the defensive troops!!"
[Vanguard Across the Realm] Standing on the top of the towering broken beam, looking at the dazzling green line on the sand table connecting the two forwards from the north to the south, the corner of his mouth slowly opened with a touch of sincere joy.
[Thunder King] stepped forward, patted the Pioneer Broken Shield that was full of acid-etched pits affectionately, laughed and joked:
"Keep this shield and hang it in the center of the guild hall after the fight. Who dares to question that you Third Regiment is a bastard? Just slap him in the face with this shield!"
The shield wielder grinned and showed his white teeth. "Brother Dharma King, will the guild reimburse the cost of repairing the wear and tear of this shield?"
"If you win this battle, I will give you the strongest shield in the server. I will pay for it!!"
In the shadow of the cliff top.
[Tom Pie] Leaning alone on the edge of the cold rock wall, looking at the sea of people hugging each other and shouting wildly below, she did not move closer.
He lowered his head and tightened the dressing bandage he had just replaced on his shoulder. The wound was rapidly shrinking and scabbing under the nourishment of Tier Three's body. The small amount of Tier Two's homologous flesh and blood he had eaten in the past two days had only replenished part of the consumption. The hunger and thirst in his belly was still churning, and he suppressed it temporarily.
Looking down, he clicked on the screen that the South Bank team had just sent back.
Under the cliff on the south side, a familiar long and narrow weathered Shallow Trough is lying quietly on the bank of the backwater.
That was the place where he once soaked himself into the black water with his teeth gritted and blood all over his body.
At that time, he was like a rat in the gutter, having to carefully avoid the Tier Two predator on the north side;
And now...
A Tier Two mutant that had just half-expanded its head out of the swamp, before even seeing the light clearly, was attacked by three Tier Two players passing by. The biochemical brain center was severed on the spot, and it was thrown into the waste pit like garbage.
"Times have changed..."
[Tom Pie] Slowly exhaled and chuckled.
Then, he put away the screen and raised his eyes to look at the center of the pool.
The mist dispersed slightly in the strong wind.
At the very core of the entire Black Pool, countless ancient ribs as huge as sky pillars stand intertwined. Deep in the rolling lead-gray death fog, the outline of a giant White Bone Altar as towering as Divine Temple is faintly outlined!
The Sacrificial Altar rises from the center of the Dead Sea, with bundles of attached fleshy tubes hanging down into the black water below.
"Brother Feng, just meeting up on the shore... isn't enough."
[Tom Pie] With a slight push of your fingertips on the tactical Terminal, the high-definition far-focus reconnaissance slices are instantly inserted into the military command channel:
"The Mother Altar in the middle of the pool... is still alive. The seven pipes on the north bank are broken, and it is still pumping black water from under the stage and spraying it on the bone beds."
In the light curtain, the corner of Sacrificial Altar, where the thick fog was slightly dispersed, was clearly exposed--
Hundreds of thousands of giant flesh cocoons with a faint blue luster and a foul odor are hanging upside down on the rib cantilever. With the violent roar of the heart, the new sharp claws are tearing open the fetal membrane like crazy and climbing outward!
[Thunder King] The smile on his face slowly faded, and above the staff, the dazzling thunder jumped and wandered again:
"Since they have all been killed at the door of their ancestral graves..."
"You can't... just sweep the front door and call it a day."
Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!
A majestic battle step as dull as thunder, Berserk exploded from the towering hard rock slope on the east bank!
The more than 20-meter-tall Ancient Warlord holds a nearly ten-meter-long broken animal bone with a black thorn stuck in its left shoulder. Like the god of war leading the army, it suddenly strides out from the depths of the mist! It didn't even glance at the player's strategic sandbox. Its turbid and furious eyes were locked on the sinful bone demon temple in the center of the pool from beginning to end!
Boom!
The giant man struck the head with a blow and smashed a Tier Two guard who tried to block him on the spot on the edge of the steps!
"The whole army draws their swords!!"
The roar of [Vanguard Across the Realm] tore through the sky, and the long knife drew a cold death line in the strong wind:
"The heavy shield group's right wing boarded the bridge! Team Hunter kept an eye on the side beams! The engineers brought demolition tools and followed the front team!!"
"Take those beasts that haven't crawled out yet--"
"It's all up to me... even the pot!!"
The heavy shield regiment stepped on the foothold marked by the reconnaissance team and advanced along the existing bone plates. When the front row climbed onto the first floor of Sacrificial Altar, the bone guns at the rear were also set up.
[Tom Pie] did not join the team and climbed up the outer cantilever alone. The first crack in the gray-white flesh cocoon in front has already cracked.
