Chapter 545 544. The Rising Red Sun
"Help, help me"
"嘤咔咱"
"Damn monster, I fight you"
"Mom, I'm afraid."
Accompanied by the roar of the beast, there were many human voices, including the angry roar of a man, the desperate cry of a woman, and the helpless wailing of a child.
Just hearing these voices, the witches could already picture a group of fleeing humans desperately fleeing under the chase of the terrible disaster beast, which also made them slightly frown.
How can there be people in the wilderness these days?
You must know that this doomsday era has not started in a day or two. The existing human beings are all in the major refuges. In the harsh environment of the outside world where natural disasters are rampant, mortals can't live for a few days.
I'm afraid there is fraud in this.
All the witches thought so in their hearts.
It’s just that everyone is young, and young people are generally kind, even young people from war races like witches. After all, witches’ hearts are no different from ordinary people.
So, even though they knew there might be fraud, everyone still wanted to check it out.
"Master Clown?"
The paladin with the most sense of justice stood up. Although the paladin hides a succubus under his mask, Madeleine, the chairperson of the Disciplinary Committee of the Witch Academy, is indeed a good person.
It's just that the succubus witch also respects the rules and order, so she didn't act without authorization, but first asked her boss for advice.
"Then go and have a look, is it okay to be idle anyway?"
Dorothy also nodded. As a good young man who died bravely for justice in her previous life, she naturally would not object to such kind thoughts.
She was even quite happy about it. In a world like the Witch World where everyone is war-crazed, such kindness is really rare.
In fact, she doesn't dislike the character of the witches Mu Qiang. After all, the pursuit of strength is the instinct of creatures, and if you fall behind, you will be beaten.
But seeking power is one thing, abusing it is quite another.
It would be even better if this kindness belonging to the young witches would not be forgotten as they grow older or become stronger. In that case, the future of the witch world will probably be a little better.
After all, although the name of the natural disaster race sounds quite prestigious, it is not a compliment.
Dorothy actually prefers the Star of All Worlds, if she may, as the Lord of All Heavens calls it.
She is somewhat greedy, power and fame, she wants them all.
Of course, this kind of thing is not something that a little witch like her can decide, but it can be improved a little bit, doing it is better than not doing it, at least by his side, he still hopes that there will be more good people with kind hearts little bit.
As for the question of whether this time will be a trap.
I can only say what if? What if I waited for others to worry too much?
In fact, she really hoped that she was overthinking, so that at least a few people could be saved.
Unfortunately.
All the witches galloped in the direction of the sound, and finally arrived at the destination. After seeing the situation clearly, everyone's eyes gradually became indifferent.
Alas, it can only be said that in this cruel doomsday, there are really not so many contingencies.
Even before they got there, the witches could already smell a strong stench.
That was the smell of a rotting corpse, and one or two corpses would not have such a strong corpse odor.
At that time, the witches had already vaguely prepared their hearts, but when the scene finally appeared in front of everyone, it was still somewhat beyond everyone's expectations.
That is indeed not one or two corpses, it is directly a mountain of corpses.
A mountain of corpses piled up in a small valley.
Also, it seems that there are at least tens of thousands of corpses here, or these are no longer corpses, but only skeletons. It is no wonder that everyone predicted the number of corpses wrongly.
It's just that the terrible beast eats too clean.
Countless pitch-black tentacles-like tree roots in between are swimming like snakes in the corpse mountain, knocking bones and sucking marrow, and the sight continues to go up along these terrifying tree roots, all the way to the top of the corpse mountain, and then you can I saw a strange giant tree with a crown so huge that it could cover this small valley.
The animal roars and human voices all came from the crown of this giant tree.
And it seemed that it was aware that a new batch of food was lured by its trap, and the roots that were knocking bones and sucking marrow suddenly stopped swimming, and they stood up like real snakes, and the tree was as huge as an oak tree. In the canopy of the tree, various voices became louder and more urgent.
Finally, the leaves that originally covered the crown of the tree opened one by one, revealing the fruit that was full of branches.
Those are weird tree fruits as big as human heads, and each fruit has a lifelike face, including men, women, old people and children, and even the faces of various beasts.
But now, all the human-faced fruits suddenly opened their eyes, and just looked at everyone with a blank expression. Their mouths were still sending out the various cries for help that the witches heard before, but the people around the fruit The sound of the leaves rubbing against each other was as weird as someone laughing.
"City level disaster beast, human fruit tree."
Looking at the strange giant tree in front of her, Dorothy was silent for a long time, and then said the name of this tree, or this disaster beast.
In this apocalypse, although ordinary people in the Sorcerous Republic have been restricted from traveling and are not allowed to leave the major shelters, this does not mean that they are completely isolated from the outside world and closed to the outside world.
In fact, Dorothy and Denisa have always sent elite knights and armed heroes to form investigation corps to investigate the situation in areas that have been turned into ruins and where disasters and beasts are rampant. Over the years, the investigation corps has paid a lot of sacrifices and efforts Dorothy has read all the reports brought back by the price.
The survey corps made a simple classification of the disaster beasts they encountered, from low to high: village, town, city, country, and world.
Well, the naming method is quite simple and simple, and it intuitively shows the scope of influence of the natural disasters that the major disaster beasts could once create.
This human fruit tree is a city-level disaster beast, which means that this tree once harmed an entire city.
The otaku witch silently recalled the report she had read from her memory palace. She recreated this memory in the form of parchment in her hand, and read it again carefully.
"Human fruit tree, a city-level disaster beast, is suspected to have advanced intelligence, and it is speculated that it has some kind of powerful wide-area spiritual ability, which can disrupt people's mind."
"It first appeared in Carol City, a small city in the southwestern region of the Republic. The city has a permanent population of 200,000, and only three people survived"
"Investigator Melanie Evans found these three survivors. The investigation results are as follows. When the monster appeared, the people in the city immediately fell into a state of obsession. Many people claimed that they had received the oracle and began to use Cannibalism in the name of offering sacrifices to the gods"
Well, it's quite a simple report. It was so simple that Dorothy just glanced at it casually and didn't pay any more attention. After all, compared with some other national disaster beasts that had slaughtered several giant cities as soon as they appeared, The tree is unremarkable.
but now
Looking at the pile of corpses in front of her and the dense human fruit on the tree, Dorothy fell silent.
Is this the difference between reality and paper reports?
Originally, her training trip was quite aimless, but now, she suddenly realized what she should do.
"It's time to pay blood."
The house witch raised her head and glanced indifferently at the giant tree in front of her.
The countless human face fruits in the human fruit book were also staring at the witches, and then a powerful spiritual shock enveloped the audience.
This power is so powerful, it can only be said to be the power that once dominated hundreds of thousands of mortals, and after receiving the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of lives, the power of this human fruit tree has become stronger again.
According to the hazard level of the Survey Corps, a disaster beast that can destroy several cities at the same time can be evaluated as a national-level disaster beast. After all, there are only two countries in this world, and it is impossible to really evaluate a national-level disaster beast with the country that has destroyed it. .
Therefore, the kind of disaster beast that can destroy several cities at the same time theoretically already has the strength to destroy the country, and it can be called the national level.
When the human fruit tree was first born, it was only at the city level, but now, after it has completely drained the nutrients of those sacrifices, this terrifying beast of disaster has already touched the border of the national level.
This is a high-growth disaster beast. If it is given a little more time to develop, it may have a chance to grow to a level that is considered powerful even at the national level.
At this time, this terrifying beast still showed that potential.
Accompanied by the sound of leaves rubbing against each other like laughter becoming more and more urgent, the original "slight laughter" has become "maniacal laughter", and many illusions appeared in front of the judges in an instant, those illusions are so real, directly Projected the greatest wish in everyone's heart, or powerful power, or peerless beauty, or monstrous power.
Even the phantom girl among the judges, who specializes in illusion, is inevitably dragged into the illusion by this crushing level of mental power. Of course, the phantom girl is not panic about this, she is a professional after all. , she instantly realized that she had been tricked, and then made a judgment on the situation.
Just give her three seconds, and she can break free.
Therefore, the phantom girl was ready to cast spells immediately. This kind of embarrassing thing in front of the clown must never happen, and since this disaster beast is of the spiritual department, it should be solved by her, who is also a witch of the spiritual school.
"But the amount of spiritual power is really terrifying. What kind of city-level disaster beast is there? This thing is definitely on the national level. The information on the investigation corps should be updated."
Phantom Girl complained about her colleagues in her heart.
She herself is actually a member of the Survey Corps, and this time she just came back from the outside world because of the summoning of Mr. Clown.
Only in her perception, the total mental power of this human fruit tree is really terrifying. At a glance, it is at least three times that of her own, which is very scary.
After all, there is a saying in the illusion school, that is, the essence of all illusions is actually a contest of mental power. Whoever has stronger mental power and more precise control, then whose illusion is stronger.
The reason why she was directly dragged into the illusion by the human fruit tree was because the human fruit tree suppressed her mentally.
Fortunately, it can only be said that a beast is a beast. Although the total amount of mental power of the human fruit tree is huge, the quality is very poor, not condensed at all, and it feels like it is mixed together by countless messy mental powers.
Moreover, the way it uses mental power is too rough, there is no skill at all, and it can fly purely with a single force. At this level, it will not be difficult for her.
Hmph, **** thing, count your sins and sink in that hell.
The phantom girl was ready to fight poison with poison immediately, she was going to flip the illusion directly, and let this human fruit tree fall into the illusion she woven. She also hated these disaster beasts very much, after all, she also met them in this witch's night Many mortal friends, she belongs to the kind of witch who belongs to the family group, and now the mountain of corpses under the human fruit tree and the human face fruit on the tree make her feel disgusted in her heart.
However, just when Phantom Girl started weaving the illusion, she suddenly felt the surrounding temperature rising rapidly.
No, wait, my body doesn't feel hot, this is also an illusion.
Hiss.
Just as the phantom girl was facing this anomaly and thought it was a new method of the human fruit tree, she suddenly discovered that the source of spiritual heat didn't seem to come from the opposite tree, but was beside her.
That's from Mr. Clown.
Before the Phantom Girl had time to take a full breath, her illusion that had just been cast in the middle of the spell suddenly melted away.
Naturally, this is not because of her failure to cast spells due to her poor academic skills, but for other reasons.
As I said before, the contest of spiritual schools is essentially a contest of spiritual power. When the gap between you and someone's spiritual power is to a certain extent, let alone affect the other party's spirit, you may not even be able to cast spells in front of her. can't do it.
This is the situation of the Phantom Girl now. She slowly rises there, but directly from the hand of the original human fruit tree, under the cover of the huge spiritual power that dominates the whole audience, she has directly lost the ability to weave illusions.
The phantom girl is very clear now that under such a situation of absolute mental power crushing, if the other party wants to kill her or dominate her, it may only need one thought.
No, she didn't even need the other party to have this idea anymore. At this time, she directly betrayed herself, but she really wanted to be dominated by the master of this terrifying spiritual power.
after all
"What a warm spirit, no matter the quality, quantity, or technique, they are all so perfect. I really love it."
As an illusionist whose xp is actually mental power, Phantom Girl has to admit that she has never experienced such perfect mental power fluctuations as Mr. Clown in the past. Twisted into the other's shape.
Although she also knows that it is not suitable to have spring on the battlefield, she really can't control herself. Now her eyes are full of the red sun rising in the east,
In the illusion system, the spiritual power of every illusionist actually has a shape. For example, the shape of the phantom girl’s spiritual power is a rainbow, and the shape of the human fruit tree opposite is a group of countless mourning souls. Slime-like chunks of meat, ugly strokes.
But Phantom Girl has never heard of anyone whose spiritual image is the sun.
But don’t worry about it, anyway, she is now shrouded in the sunshine of this spiritual sun, which really warms her heart.
On the other side, some people directly warmed their bodies.
"If there is no light in this world, let me be the sun that illuminates everything."
Dorothy lowered her eyes.
And when the sun wheel turned behind her, the endless light and heat directly illuminated everything, and also ignited the mango tree.
It was like adding fuel to a raging fire, and the holy flame of purification instantly ignited the whole human fruit tree.
It should be just an illusory flame of spiritual power, but at this moment, the tree of disaster is actually burning.
It became the pyre for the cremation of the mountain of corpses.
Fire purifying
I went back to my hometown, and I was still serious about Calvin. It was too difficult. Go to bed, and I have something to do tomorrow.
