Chapter 430 Where Have All the People Gone?
After half an hour.
Everyone finally arrived in front of the giant tree.
Only when you come here can you feel the enormity of this giant tree.
Standing under the tree, you can no longer see the sky when you look up. It is all dense branches and leaves, with a tiny glimpse of huge fruits occasionally.
"This is it, how do we get down?"
Looking at the tree roots that almost blocked the entrance to the cave, everyone was at a loss as to what to do.
The only machine gun was an M134, and it had become a decoration five minutes ago because the battery ran out. They had taken turns firing automatic rifles to get here, so were they going to shoot again now?
Not to mention that the effect is very poor, even if it is effective, how long will they have to fight?
The Knight Captain tried shooting directly at the trunk of the giant tree and throwing grenades.
However, the effect is small.
Not only does the bullet cause minimal damage to the tree trunk, but the hit area will also secrete a milky white juice, which quickly heals the wound.
It clearly took a long time to make a hole in the trunk, but once the fire stopped, the tree grew back in a few seconds.
It's so discouraging.
Bourne was also out of ideas.
I really don’t know how Knight Commander Remire brought Duran and the others down there. Is there a secret passage here?
Bourne speculated secretly in his heart.
At this moment, Bourne discovered a faint holy light coming from a place a few dozen meters away.
Judging from the direction, it is coming up from the roots of the tree.
"There is holy light over there. Let's go and take a look."
Bourne picked up the cross sword and walked over there first.
He walked and chopped as he went, clearing a one-person-wide passage through the tree roots.
If not, those ordinary mercenaries behind would not be able to get through at all.
"It's Holy Light, yes, there is a manhole cover here!"
A knight shouted excitedly.
"It's been pinned down by a tree root and can't be opened!"
It's outrageous, why is there a manhole cover on the football field?
Does the football field have a sewer?
"You're right, there are not only sewers, but also underground passages!"
Duran's familiar voice came from under the manhole cover, muffled.
"Wait a minute, we need to blow up this tree root."
"boom."
With a loud bang, a big hole was blown out at the bottom of the three-meter-high tree roots. The manhole cover was opened and Duran crawled out covered in dust.
"I've been waiting for you here for over an hour!"
Duran didn't have time to dust himself off before he said anxiously, "Let's go down quickly. This passage is about to be cut off by those damn tree roots."
As he spoke, he looked behind Bourne and the others and asked hesitantly, "Do you have any explosives with you?"
"Why? What you took isn't enough?"
"Not enough!" Duran shook his head and said, "We used up some of it to blast the road, and used up some more to maintain this passage. The rest..."
He didn't finish his words, but everyone understood what he meant.
Such a big tree can regenerate, so if we want to blow it up completely, we need more explosives.
But when Duran saw the expressions of Bourne and others, he understood instantly.
"Okay, all of you come down and follow me."
Everyone followed Duran into an underground passage.
No one knows who built this passage or why it was built. It twists and turns and leads to a huge underground space.
This place is located directly below the stadium and seems to be a gathering place for sewers, with several wide passages leading in all directions.
But at this moment, not only was there no water here, but a group of monsters were frantically besieging the human defense line in a corner.
As soon as he came out of the passage, Bourne heard rapid shouts and the shrill screams of monsters. When he saw the scene clearly, the knight squad and mercenaries who followed him all gasped.
Knights, nuns and a group of people wearing special combat uniforms were seen relying on the corners to form an arc-shaped defense line of more than 40 meters long to resist the swarming monsters.
These monsters include not only all the types that Bourne and his companions have seen on the ground, but also new types of monsters such as rats, gnolls, lizards, and skeletons.
These monsters were crazy and fearless. They charged towards the human defense line again and again, despite the knights' swords, the saints' bullets, and the nuns' magic.
The entire hall was littered with corpses.
"What's going on? Why are there so many monsters? Where is the Grand Knight?"
Bourne stabbed to death a kobold that jumped up and tried to leap over the defense line, then kicked away a large rat with red eyes, and asked Duran who was also rushing over to replace the vacant position of an exhausted knight.
"The Knight Commander has taken his men to secure the explosives!"
Duran's hammer is much more useful than Bourne's sword in this situation. With one swing of the hammer, a group of monsters will fly up.
"The main root of the giant tree is at the end of the passage over there. Three teams went out, but two were killed by monsters. Knight Remiel had to lead the team himself. We guard this last road leading up."
"Where do all these monsters come from? Why do we feel like we can never kill them all?"
Duran smashed a monster's head in half with a hammer, and watched the corpse being dragged away by several ratmen. He said helplessly, "Look at those ratmen. They will drag away the dead monster's corpse and use it as fertilizer for the giant tree to absorb and regenerate more monsters."
"In addition, the monsters up there also brought down many corpses of Rio residents. It is said that a knight saw many human corpses in the deep pit at the root of the giant tree ahead..."
This tree actually grows on a human corpse!
How many corpses did it absorb to grow into such a giant tree?
Damn this tree!
The person who planted this tree should also die!
It seemed as if some restrictions in Bourne's mind were released, and various talents took turns to rotate in his sea of consciousness.
Finally, madness, schizophrenia, and danger perception are activated at the same time.
Exclusive talents and marks are also activated spontaneously.
"Hahaha!"
A layer of light golden flame that seemed real and illusory burned on Bourne's body and hands, and it painted the sword bodies of the two cross swords into light silver.
"Monster, die!"
He jumped up and rushed into the group of monsters in front of him on the right.
This is a group of pig-headed people.
A human body, a pig's head, red eyes, and holding a variety of "weapons" in its hands.
When Bourne landed among them, these pig-headed men seemed to go crazy, drooling from the corners of their mouths, and rushing towards him with their mouths wide open.
However, what greeted them was a sword strike as fast as a whirlwind.
The two flaming swords simply spun a circle, and seven or eight pig heads fell to the ground.
Before the pig-headed men behind could see what was happening, a flaming sword appeared in front of them.
In Bourne's eyes, this was not a massacre, but a game, a monster-beating game with enemy weaknesses, attack order and location marked.
All you have to do is to slash the sword across the designated location in a specific order to kill the monsters in front of you.
"Who is that? Is he looking for death?"
"No, no, look at his swordsmanship. He must have inherited some knightly swordsmanship. But he rushed too far forward. We couldn't rescue him. We had to rely on him to fight his way back."
