The Godsfall Chronicles

Chapter 57: The Land of Ruins

Cloud eagles and queens rode giant lizards to dawn, new changes emerged in desert dune slopes, and a large rubble of ruins appeared in view.

Ancient metal frames, strange debris ruins, broken tall walls, the remains of buildings, they are densely lined with horizons, like a dense jungle built of stone and metal, overlooking, invisible heads, thousands of years of time erosion, thousands of years of wind and sand baptism, with a sense of ruined magnificence!

Around 50 metres, the walls are surrounded, and people can only enter the ruins through a crack in them. Even if it doesn't look rusted, even if the cracks are filled with stubborn, wild grass, this huge and powerful thing still reveals the magnificence of the past.

Dozens of human beings walk in vast rubble swarms, as if ants were worthless.

In addition to the ancient architecture, there are a large number of statues, temples, palaces and other strange relics, more crossing the mountains, collapsing huge holes, countless tons of boulders, no one knows how this place was formed, no one knows exactly what was going on in that year, all this truth has been submerged for a long time.

It is probably the rubble that resists the wind and sand, providing living space for the growth of plants, all kinds of dwarf shrubs everywhere, traces of biological activity are visible, and the entire city of rubble is like a huge maze, enough to make it difficult for even experienced hunters to get out of it forever.

This is not the first time a lion has come to a green camp. His experience can lead the team to avoid the wrong turns and actively avoid areas of dangerous biological activity. However, walking in a ruined city is unlikely to pose any danger.

There was a howl around.

Without time to tell, a spider-like figure emerged from the broken wall, and the limbs jumped directly from the rubble, instantly rushing into front of a warrior, who quickly drew his weapon into each other's body.

The monster was insane beyond imagination and let his weapon pierce his body, opening his mouth and biting his black teeth over the warrior's shoulder.

“Kill it! ”

A few people hug each other.

The monster was stabbed a dozen times and still jumped alive.

Ultimately, a strong hammer smashed his head into pieces, and this stubborn man collapsed.

A closer look at the cloud eagle, the monster's skin is gray and black, the structure of the limbs is highly distorted, but the head has limbs, and the five officials are clear, which is clearly what people become: “Is this a mutant? ”

At this time, the lion drew a five-foot knife, which was long and rustic, the blade of the knife handle was the same length, and the blade was about as wide as a palm. Although it was covered with scratches and bloodstains, the blade was bright and cold. The lion was a powerful man, and now he has a knife with a long handle, and he's sweeping a thousand armies.

“Lion, what are you doing? ”

The lion is like a meteor that crosses the crowd, and when the sword sweeps out, it's like a river that can't resist.

The bitten soldier stared at his eyes, one head flew a few meters high, and his head and body continued to spit blood on the ground, and he didn't know what was going on until he died.

Everyone else looked at the lion in horror.

“Not a mutant, it's a corpse.” The lion's knife was not stained with a drop of blood, "the ordinary man was bitten by a corpse, and the day would turn into a new corpse, which must be removed. ”

I've never heard of a corpse like this before.

The lion went on to say, "The corpse is a mass event, and we must leave. ”

A series of live corpses howled around, and a naked human creature crawled and jumped like a spider on the walls and ruins, with a pair of scarlet eyes locked in. There were dozens of live corpses, and the number was increasing.

The cloud hawk's face got a little ugly: “Why so many corpses! ”

The lion lifted the knife in his hand and shouted: "Follow me, and be careful not to be bitten, even if their blood should not be stained as much as possible, otherwise it will be dangerous. ”

The corpse is not a mutant.

It's a monster transformed into a mutant virus.

The live corpse virus is predominantly in saliva, followed by blood, and is therefore most transmissible, with little chance of survival if bitten by a live corpse, as well as physical injury and exposure to live corpse blood.

There is no cure.

This is a horrible place for corpses!

Eagles are willing to deal with more ferocious and horrible creatures, and he doesn't want to deal with things like corpses.

At this time, the lion rushed to the front, one sweep in his hand, two halves on the spot, surrounded by living corpses, these monsters long ago did not know what fear was, each time the attack was carried out in the same attitude.

“Ah, I'm bitten. I'm bitten! ”

A wilderness warrior screams so harshly that a living corpse bites off half his palm, a fear and despair that is even more creepy than the severe pain of the wound.

“Son of a bitch, I'll fight you! ”

The soldier rushed in hysterically, and was instantly surrounded by four living corpses. In a terrible cry and scream, he was ripped open by dead claws, and the living corpse enjoyed a large meal directly on the spot, making the scene creepy.

The cloud hawk faced three dead corpses. He didn't know which one to attack. They were all too fast. Even if he could defeat one of them, it would be difficult for him not to be bitten by the other two dead corpses. Once he was bitten, it would be completely over.

Three corpses won't give him any time to think.

When the cloud eagle had some handicaps, the bloody queen suddenly snatched the exorcism stick away, her wrist gently rolled out the three sticks, and the heads of the three corpses exploded almost indiscriminately.

The Bloody Queen happens to be more than a cloud hawk. She uses a little spirit when she starts an exorcism stick, so that no one else can feel the power of the artifact to unleash it, but she happens to be able to smash the head of a living corpse, so that she doesn't waste a penny of her power, unlike the cloud hawk.

The lion shouted, “The number of corpses is growing. Break out, or you'll all die! ”

The Eagle found that after the fighting, the number of corpses had not decreased, but rather had increased.

Sooner or later, you'll be completely surrounded by corpses.

This wreck knows how many corpses he's hiding!

The Bloody Queen flipped up, waving the dead, the cloudhawks mastering the sandy lizards and following the team. The lion is still ahead of the horse, the sword is swept to pieces, and a dozen corpses have been mutilated without physical integrity.

The crowd kept running.

Living corpses keep catching up.

Now the number of these humanoid monsters is getting closer to a hundred. They are like spiders flexibly rolling up and down in the ruins, like maggots of bones always sticking to the chase, there is no way to get rid of them. Now we have lost six fighters. If living corpses continue to chase, I am afraid the number of casualties will increase further.

While the lions were thinking about countermeasures.

People think the ground is shaking, and they drill a big dish out of the ground in front of them. Its shape is like a huge crab. It's just a dozen meters long, and there are four giant crab pliers. This creature is wrapped in a sturdy crust, I'm afraid it can't even be punched through with bullets!

Two unlucky bastards didn't have time to hide from being snapped in half by giant crab pliers.

The cloud hawk saw this basic knife gun incompetent guy come forward, his face turned ugly, really bad, there was a mutant troll in front, there were hundreds of corpses in the back, how can this be good? The lion saw the giant crab appear without panic and immediately pointed in one direction and shouted: "This way! ”

Everyone got into a fork.

It's the corpse that's caught up.

The giant mutant giant crab quickly approached directly, and one giant plier photographed the corpse directly on the ground, then clamped it with another plier and tore it apart, sending it straight into his mouth. Other corpses saw this slowing down, and some hesitated.

Big crabs happen to be the natural enemies of corpses, and they survive by hunting and killing corpses on a weekday basis.

Although these walkers have little intelligence, they instinctively retreat in the face of natural enemies. Neither living body teeth nor claws can destroy the giant crab crust, and the giant crab weapon can easily take out the walkers, a battle that is not suspicious in itself.

Desert crabs are kind of saving people's lives.

The crowd kept accelerating for half an hour, and they feared that the corpses would catch up.

“Note that there is a canyon ahead, and we cross the canyon into the oasis area of the Green Camp.” When the lion says this, it is not easy to reach the destination after a long journey, but with a deep sense of concentration, "don't touch anything, or you will die! ”

The cloud hawk is confused about the lion.

Oasis?

The cloud hawk's confusion didn't last too long, and when he followed the team out of the canyon, a scene appeared that made him stare. This is a very large basin, cut into several areas by even the short hills, each covered with a lot of greenery, with all kinds of flourishing and dense plants, and even a lake in the middle.

A large desert oasis.

The cloudhawks didn't expect such a place in the wilderness, where dense trees gathered in the jungle, vibrant wild grass covered the ground, drilled a large number of bright and beautiful flowers from the bush, more abundant groundwater emerged, and centrally integrated lakes to nourish the entire area.

Oasis is relatively low-lying, with mountains like walls shielding sandstorms and other natural disasters, surrounded by dense and numb ruins, like the Ecstasy Front, blocking foreign beasts or intruders from catastrophic or man-made disasters.

This is a green gem in the middle of the desert sand sea!
