.Chapter 2042
2042 The monsters enter the city (1)
The moment the giant tree stopped growing, the horned helmet and the others were still in shock. They rummaged through their memories, but when had they ever seen such a magical and spectacular scene?
Standing on top of the giant tree puppet and looking down at the scenery around them, the despaired people felt an indescribable emotion in their hearts.
As expected, by following a true expert, one could experience scenery that they had never seen before, opening their eyes.
What shocked them the most was Tang Zhen’s ability to turn something rotten into something magical.
What was originally an ordinary tree had become an extraordinary thing. After sowing for a short while, it had become a behemoth!
However, no matter how tall this tree grew, it was unable to withstand the destruction from the monsters in the forest. It was impossible for Tang Zhen not to know this.
Tang Zhen suddenly opened his eyes just as they were quietly guessing in their hearts. He slowly heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment, he had completed the growth process of the giant tree. At the same time, he had injected enough energy to ensure that the runic magic circle on the trunk could be activated automatically when night fell.
When night fell, this giant tree would be a safe fortress, allowing the despaired to be unafraid of the monsters ‘harassment and attacks.
If Tang Zhen was willing, he could also activate the runic magic circle during the day and drive the giant tree to walk freely in the forest.
For despaired people, this was simply the best place to stay. Even if they stayed in the forest day and night, they could still ensure their own safety.
Of course, the prerequisite was that the desperer had enough God’s stones. Otherwise, without enough energy to power it, the puppet tree would not be able to move.
It was only after a long time that the despaired people discovered the magic of the modified tree species and regarded it as a priceless treasure that they could not get.
The city of despair was just a name, but in fact, it was a huge world. The roads in the forest were intertwined, and there was more than one similar city.
The number of despaired individuals far exceeded those that Tang Zhen had seen. Instead, there were so many that it was almost impossible to count.
Most of the desperators were not as lucky as the horned helmet’s group, who could occupy the city with Tang Zhen’s help. They were still wandering outside the city.
Under such circumstances, to be able to have the giant tree puppet’s protection was of great significance to those who were desperate.
After obtaining the modified tree species, the desperators would carefully cultivate giant puppet trees and live in groups on the trees, living and reproducing in the forest.
The name Tang Zhen had also become a legendary existence in the city of despair because of these puppet tree seeds.
However, he had already left this place by then, and it was impossible for the desperator to obtain the method to create the puppet tree.
Fortunately, the puppet tree could also bear seeds. Although it was far from as magical as the first generation, it could still provide enough protection for the desperate.
This was a new species that Tang Zhen had created using his own creation ability before he advanced to the creator level. The reason why it appeared was for the sake of war, but it had benefited the despairing one a lot.
The remnants of the divine Kingdom in the city also noticed the changes at the city gate. They looked at the giant puppet tree that had appeared out of thin air, and their faces were filled with shock.
The bombardment of the armored cannon chariots had already caused them to be badly battered and unable to fight back.
The appearance of the giant tree puppet was definitely a disaster.
Not to mention what this thing was, just the fact that it had raised the height of Tang Zhen and the others was enough to make them feel like collapsing.
The higher they stood, the further the cannonballs would shoot, and the greater the threat they posed.
At the thought that the entire city was within the range of the armored artillery vehicles, the remnants of the kingdom of God trembled all over, not knowing what to do.
Fortunately, what they were worried about did not happen. Other than the temporary city wall being bombarded and unable to be built normally, the other parts of the city were not attacked.
The remnants of the kingdom of God in the city quietly heaved a sigh of relief. After seeing the terrifying scene of the bombing, they were afraid that the shell would hit their heads.
Although there was no bombing, it did not mean that the crisis was over. As time passed, the remnants of the God Kingdom would soon face their greatest threat.
The remnants of the divine Kingdom in the city had already tried their best to find a safe place and sealed the doors and windows completely.
They held the weapons they could find and hid in their homes, shivering. At the same time, they listened to the wind blowing and the grass moving on the street.
At this moment, even the slightest abnormal sound would make them panic, afraid that a monster would come.
The soldiers and spellcasters in the city were fully armed. The only thing they could do now was to guard both ends of the road and snipe the monsters that rushed into the city.
He did not aim to repel the monsters, but to kill as many as he could to minimize his losses.
At the city gate, the puppet tree glowed with a white-green light like a Night Pearl.
The drooping and dancing branches were beautiful, and from time to time, there was a Firefly-like light falling from the branches.
The area covered by the light was huge, and could be seen from far away. The operating runic magic circle emitted an aura that made the dark creatures ‘hearts palpitate.
In the forest at the city gate, tall figures slowly appeared, and more and more of them gathered.
They stared at the city gate with greedy and brutal eyes, as if they could smell the smell of blood and flesh, and could not wait to rush in and eat.
However, the giant puppet tree at the city gate made the monster extremely afraid, and it hesitated to approach it.
These were all high-level monsters with intelligence. They could sense the danger of the puppet tree and were afraid of being attacked if they got close.
However, the low-level monsters did not care about this. They were brutal and reckless, passing through the edge of the disgusting puppet tree’s light and then swarming over the city wall ruins.
The Horde of monsters was like a Black Tide, spreading out on the streets. Following the smell, they swarmed toward the buildings by the roadside.
The soldiers hiding in the buildings immediately launched an attack, trying their best to stop the monsters from entering the Urban area.
Sharp arrows, javelins, and even the spell attacks of the spell casters fell on the street one after another.
Under the overwhelming attacks, all kinds of monsters fell on the streets, and bloody corpses were everywhere.
Even though they were being attacked, these monsters did not retreat. They attacked the buildings on the side of the road without fear of death.
Even though the windows had been blocked, they still climbed up nimbly and entered the building through the windows.
A series of screams and wails came from the building as countless monsters followed closely into the building, launching attacks at the soldiers and spellcasters.
More and more monsters continued to advance along the streets, and every building on the side of the road became a target of attack, fighting to devour the remnants of the divine Kingdom inside.
The high-level monsters that had been intimidated by the giant puppet tree could no longer suppress their desires when they smelled the scent of blood and flesh from the city.
Like the low-level monsters, they avoided the light from the giant tree puppet and kept moving forward in the dark, swarming into the city one after another.
These large high-level monsters had even more terrifying offensive power. The soldiers who tried to stop them did not last long before they were completely defeated.
The collapsed soldiers and spellcasters fled in all directions, but they did not know where to go. Often, as soon as they rushed onto the streets, they would be swallowed up by the terrifying waves of monsters, and in the blink of an eye, not even their bones were left.
