On the third day after leaving Black Pool, east side Weathered Ridge.
[Vanguard Across the Realm] He stepped on the pale skull that was rolling and sliding, and was about to cross the gap in the mountain in front of him, but he suddenly stopped without warning.
The road... is broken.
The steep mountain road under your feet, squeezed out by countless shriveled and necrotic meridians, seemed to be cut off by a god's giant axe, and the front fell into a bottomless gray-black Abyss basin without any transition!
No.
That was no ordinary subsidence at all.
Everywhere you look, you can see the scalp-numbing ferocious Meat Nest!
Thousands of giant incubation nests made of laminated horny black shells and biochemical flesh membranes are like countless dense tombs and inverted dark hills, covering the surface of the entire basin with a radius of dozens of miles. Each strip is wide and narrow. Different Suspended Meat Bridge crisscrossed each other, hundreds of thousands of deformed joints made a terrifying rustling sound like a tide on the bridge deck, and the strong rotting stench even evaporated into a large gray and deadly poisonous mist at low altitude!
Click!
The Meat Nest closest to the cliff suddenly exploded at this moment!
A dozen Tier Two Long-legged Fiend, covered in turbid amniotic fluid, struggled to squeeze out of the breach. They didn't even have time to shake off the fetal membranes on their bodies. Under the beating of Overseer Insect, they rushed towards the narrow pass Berserk on the west side where the thundering roar came from with a fierce look in their eyes!
"No wonder... I said there have been killings one after another in the past few days. We have been fighting with excrement at the door of the delivery room."
[Thunder King] Wings fluttered through the strong wind, and landed steadily on the broken rocks on the edge of the cliff. Looking at the endless black tide deep in the basin, he let out a long breath.
For three days, they kept pace with the Ancient army and rushed eastward, uprooting dozens of scattered small-scale Lesion. There were no regular organized defenders along the way, but the number of new life forms they bumped into was like a hornet's nest.
Now, the mystery is completely revealed.
The scale of breeding in front of him made [Vanguard Across the Realm] immediately think of those Sackback Beast who are constantly transporting eggs to the depths.
This is probably one of the places where they transport their egg sacs!
Rumble, rumble--!!
A few kilometers away from the high slope pass to the west, a sudden explosion filled the sky with white-hot smoke.
The more than 20-meter-tall Ancient Warlord crushed the dead shell on the slope. The desolate old black thorn on the left shoulder shone brightly in the flames of war. The nearly ten-meter-long giant animal bone swept across the army and smashed more than a dozen Abyss Adult Insect into a splatter of blood and mud on the spot!
However, the next second, Tier Three, whose whole body was covered with diamond bone plates, Heavy-armored Behemoth bravely withstood the impact and collided with Berserk, digging its heavy feet into the edge of the slope and forcibly holding the swinging giant bone! Behind it, several sharp Bio-spear emerged from the shadow of the flesh bridge like poisonous snakes, and collided with the seven-meter-high Ancient Guardian, making a deafening explosion of gold and iron!
The huge man's bloody mouth on his chest and abdomen looked up to the sky and howled wildly.
The guard battle formation behind it pressed forward Berserk, but the terrain of the pass was as narrow as a sheep's intestines. From the beginning to the end, only the dozen giant men in the front row could really catch fire side by side!
[Vanguard Across the Realm]Looking back.
On the narrow weathered mountain road behind them, Fourth Calamity's heavily armored tanks, the Mecha brigade and Transport Beast were also lined up in a long, bloated snake winding for miles, unable to advance or retreat.
"The whole army should stop and be stationed on the spot. It is strictly forbidden to blindly press towards the pass."
[Vanguard Across the Realm] Decisively pull apart Tactical Visor and mark the entire cliff fracture zone as a yellow danger zone:
"The frontal terrain is too narrow. The big dads are acting as human shields in front. We are all crammed into that dog hole. We can only follow behind to eat ashes and exhaust, and we cannot take advantage of our strength at all!"
"The cliff on the right... has a blind spot!"
[Tom Pie] That hoarse, sharp voice suddenly sounded in the command channel.
The shared reconnaissance screen lights up simultaneously in an instant.
The screen first flashed across a sharp black bone claw that was dug deeply into a crack in the rock wall. Then, the camera passed through the howling storm and explored the vertical Abyss.
Between the steep cliffs more than 200 meters below everyone's feet, several layers of ancient Weathered Dead Shell, as thick as city gates, thrust out diagonally, and in mid-air, a suspended rock platform with a distance of 2,000 square meters was forcibly formed!
The back of the rock platform is deeply sunk into the mountain to form a natural cave, with a steep weathered stone path hanging from the left and right ends, leading straight into the hinterland of Breeding Basin below.
The most deadly thing is--
There is a giant biochemical hard shell weighing tens of thousands of tons above the cave, like a natural overhang, covering most of the entire platform in absolute visual shadow!
Standing at the depths of Meat Nest below and looking up, you can only see a dark and dead corner of the cliff!
[Vanguard Across the Realm] An almost substantial dazzling light burst out from his eyes:
"Tom, where did you touch?!"
"On the outer edge of the cliff, we are immediately treading on the ground."
The lens shook violently.
A Tier Two Parasitic Insect with a mouth full of ring-shaped sharp teeth ejected and bit out from the dead corner of the rock crevice without any warning!
[Tom Pie] Without even changing his eyes, he tilted his head slightly, letting his fangs scrape the black scales on his cheeks to pull out a string of dazzling sparks, and then made a backhand move from bottom to top with his intact right hand like lightning!
Poof!
Five sharp claws surrounded by a deathly gray light penetrated into the mouth, and the entire forearm reached to the elbow. They forcefully followed the mouth and crushed the monster's biochemical brainstem in the air!
"There are soldiers patrolling, not many in number."
He threw away the bleeding corpse and added in a cold voice, "Don't think that my skin is a gold medal for immunity from death. You almost bit my face through the bite just now."
"What about the inside of the cave? Is it safe?"
"Coming in."
[Tom Pie] gathered his body and slid in Stealth against the groove in the inner wall. The picture was slightly bright, and the inside of the cave was dry and open. There were only a few ancient insect corpses that had been sucked dry, and a few huge rocks that fell from the top.
Within the reach of the lighting, there was no exposed Primordial Divine Membrane, nor was there any flowing pollution liquid.
This is a building purely formed by the extrusion of a solid exoskeleton and hard rock formations - Natural Air-Raid Shelter!
[Vanguard Across the Realm] Turned around suddenly and glanced at the logistics team behind:
"The legion's spare [Biological Beacon]... how many more are there?!"
The guild craftsman captain who was leading the team in the back row was suddenly startled. He subconsciously lowered his head and patted the heavy-duty lead-sealed storage box he carried on his back:
"There are two more fully equipped ones...Brother Feng, do you want to..."
"I want to insert Respawn Point-- directly into the monster's forehead!!"
[Vanguard Across the Realm] The fingertips of Abyss poked hard at the shadow under the cliff, and the fighting spirit was overwhelming:
"First Special Operations Squad, mobilize forty elite Tier Two, main T, Hunter and craftsmen! Bring two beacons, fully equipped Energy Storage Pouch, the first batch of Reinforced Folding Tower Shield and Heavy Spear, everyone rappels!"
"Dharma King, follow me down and take the lead! The rear team stuck the heavy winch on the top of the cliff and used the pulling rope to pull up the aerial supply line!"
"Inform the brothers at the rear port - if you want to change, please don't line up to commit suicide. I will light up the lights down below and all personnel will rotate in an orderly manner according to the tactical numbers! Store all the good equipment on your body in Camp Safe. After you parachute down, take whatever you have and turn that platform into a flesh and blood fortress!!"
The channel fell into dead silence for a second.
Immediately afterwards, Fourth Calamity's wolf howl of Berserk, fearing for chaos in the world, completely overturned the guild's voice channel:
"Holy shit! Open the portal on the ceiling of the boss's lair?! This is so fucking cool!!"
"I'm signing up! I'll bring my own dry food and Tower Shield! Just leave me a rope!!"
"Brother craftsmen, pry open the warehouse! Bring me two more boxes of grenades! I'll go down and blow up his mother's round first!!"
Rumble!
Several high-hardness Alloy Expansion Piton weighing more than a hundred kilograms were penetrated into the hard Weathered Dead Shell on the top of the cliff under the heavy hammer of the engineers!
The high-strength climbing steel cable as thick as the wrist roared and fell through the air, and the personnel ropes and cargo ropes were erected separately. The flying wings behind [Thunder King] were wrapped in thunder and stretched violently, and the whole person was like a blazing white meteor wrapped in a storm that filled the sky. He took the lead and plunged into the cliff below!
Boom!
A several-foot-long blast of destruction Thunder Spear tore through the thick fog one step ahead of him, and penetrated the Tier Two Patrol Beast who was about to take off on the narrow slope like a judgment of death!
The arc went wild and the armor shattered!
[Vanguard Across the Realm] Squeeze the high-speed sliding lock with one hand, and your whole body will fly like a heavily loaded missile against the wall!
In mid-air, still twenty meters away from the ledge below, he smashed the lock with his backhand and escaped from his shell. He stepped into the air and jumped, his whole body Void folding and twisting strangely!
Tsk--!!
The pitch-black [Origin Fang] drew a thrilling death line in the sky!
The two Tier Two Parasitic Insect heads that were still roaring were thrown into the air, black blood splashed like a fountain Berserk, [Vanguard Across the Realm]'s heavy boots steadily crushed the ground to pieces of bone and debris, and the long knife took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the force to pin the third head towards the steel cable to the cliff!
"Fall!!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The thickened Bone Tower Shield with cold runes on all sides fell heavily from mid-air to the edge of the ledge!
Next came the fully armed Berserker, a supply box full of Energy Storage Pouch, and a giant biochemical beacon that was lowered under the escort of four elites and glowed with light green vitality! The other spare beacon was still sealed in the box and landed with the supplies.
The dull and intensive falling tremors finally tore apart the dead silence deep in the cliff.
In the endless basin Abyss below, tens of thousands of scarlet Compound Eyes all rotated at the same second, locking the uninvited guest halfway up the mountainside!
The sharp and harsh Anti-air Screech resounded through the sky, and the densely packed arthropods surged up the cliff like a black tide along the two narrow ramps on the left and right!
"The left wing shield formation is set up!!"
As soon as the heavy shield was closed, a sharp straw as long and thin as a steel whip came out of the hole like a poisonous snake, and penetrated through the tiny gap where the shield met!
Poof!
Shieldbearer, who was in the front row, was shaken violently. He looked down and saw that his breastplate was pierced and torn on the spot. A look of extreme rage and ferocity appeared on his face under the helmet:
"What a shame, uncle... you only attack me when I'm moving bricks?!"
Not only did he not retreat, he firmly grasped the thorn tube that penetrated his flesh with his backhand, used all his body's gravity to push forward, flew up with his kick, and pushed the cargo box containing Culture Medium at his feet to his teammates behind him, roaring wildly:
"Don't worry about me!! Quickly turn on the switch for me!!"
The giant shield bit the monster's mouthparts, two Berserker swept out from the flanks, and the war spear pierced the monster's throat!
Shieldbearer rolled down the cliff with the beast during the fierce struggle of the monster. The shield strap was pulled off his arm and was grabbed by the teammates in the back row. He fell into the black tide below, and the moment white light rose, his arrogant and arrogant curses echoed in the guild voice:
"Half an hour later, I will be a hero again with full blood and mana!! Whoever dares to lose the shield, I will hack him to death offline along the network cable!!"
"Shut up! I've got the shield back for you!!"
The teammates dragged the cracked and missing Blood Shield back to the bunker. The second row of shield walls suddenly jammed, and the rear rib guns sprayed tongues of fire wildly, beating the successive waves of insects into a bloody mist!
Deep in the cave, two craftsmen knelt on the gravel ground without any strength, tore open the lead-sealed insulation film on the outer layer of the biochemical beacon, pressed the activation switch with both hands, and removed the sharp base that flashed with sacred runes--
Brazenly smashing into the pre-paved High-energy High-purity Culture Medium depth!!
Buzz----!!
The dazzling light green light of life is like a miniature lighthouse, shining brightly on the top of the rock from the depths of the cave!
However, at this moment when the craftsman continued to inject energy and waited for the activation prompt to sound--
Click... click...
The pile of weathered rocks blocking the deepest part of the cave was slowly pushed outward one by one by a terrifying brute force without any warning.
The air was freezing cold at this moment.
[Vanguard Across the Realm] The veins on his right arm holding the knife bulged, and he slowly turned around.
In the deep shadows crisscrossing above the cave ceiling, a pale bone foot covered with forest-white barbs and several meters long silently protruded from the depths of the fissure, wedged deeply into the hard rock formation.
Then came the second and third one.
A long and narrow head covered with bone-edge scales and shaped like a giant alien slowly slid out of the darkness of the rift valley, slowly hanging upside down.
The pair of cold and bloodthirsty scarlet vertical pupils crossed over [Vanguard Across the Realm]'s shoulders and were fixed on the newly lit battlefield beacon in front of the craftsman, exuding pure vitality!
[Calamity Kin·Wall-climbing Hunter Beast(LV.67, Tier Three)]!
[Vanguard Across the Realm] With the knife in his chest, there is only absolute deathly silence that burns everything in his eyes.
He stepped forward and stood between the beacon and the monster. The dark long knife breathed out the breath of death and he calmly ordered:
"Continue to inject energy, don't even raise your head."
Void's dead line collapsed inch by inch. The young man raised his head and looked directly at Abyss:
"Leave this wild monster to me!!"
