Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland.

Chapter 549: Skyfire (Combined Chapter)
Legend has it that the sky above the Land of Revenge always has many more stars than anywhere else.

They surround the entire continent.

Finally, I always stop on this wasteland.

Then, the fire of destruction descended.

——It is said to be fire from heaven.

In everyone's eyes, it was a giant laser beam falling from the sky!

The beam of light penetrated the atmosphere, and the floating oxygen molecules were instantly ionized, emitting purple sparks, and a strong stench suddenly filled the air.

The heat wave is rolling in.

Thunder roared.

Before that, the beam of light that fell from the sky had already swept directly into the herd of beaked beasts, leaving them with no way to escape.

The beaked beast far behind Ji Hai had just time to raise its head before a round beam of light completely enveloped it.

In an instant, it started from the pointed head.

The entire long neck of the beaked beast was instantly charred from top to bottom, the thick cuticle was burned, the oil sizzled out and then turned into flames from the inside out.

"what--"

There was a moment of wailing, screaming and exploding flames, and wherever the huge beaked beast was covered by the beam of light, it was turned into ashes.

The heat wave blew Ji Hai away.

Even though he was just affected, his skin was instantly baked red by the scorching air.

The stars in the sky move along fixed trajectories that can even be observed by astrologers. When they come to the Land of Revenge, they will randomly scatter columns of sky-high fire.

In such a vast wasteland, there are always places that the light beam cannot cover.

That is the safe path known as the Valley of Vengeance.

Beyond that, they may be attacked by heavenly fire at any time.

This is the first rule to remember when surviving in the Land of Revenge:
Be careful in the sky.

Ji Hai and the beaked beast have now entered the attack range of the sky fire.

"Scatter..." Ji Hai punched the ground, driving away the prairie mice that gathered around him out of fear.

Xiao Qi was also thrown out.

The gophers jumped on the scalding ground and fled in all directions in panic, but unexpectedly, the beam of light did not fall on them.

Not only that,

Just above Ji Hai's head, a star flickered, then the light shifted, and the scorching beam of light swept down again, just a hair's breadth away from the young man.

But it hit the back where the beaked beasts were attracted by the blood and were hunting in a group.

High temperature, heat, burning with an unknown fire.

Powerful creatures like the Beaked Beast have, to some extent, suppressed their genetic fear of fire - but faced with the fire falling from the sky, they don't even have time to be afraid.

The beasts fled in all directions.

Only a dozen or so shriveled corpses, charred along with their bones, were left standing in their place, enveloped by the light column, and then disintegrated and collapsed in the second round of heat wave.

Another condition for triggering the sky fire:
Bioaggregation.

When it is possible to destroy more creatures, the beam of light will prioritize quantity and then clear them all in one fell swoop.

The second rule of survival in Vengeance Land:

Don't get spotted by them.

"...Punk, a large number of biological reactions have been detected in the west...flesh and blood."

A cold voice announced.

"Is it a beaked beast?" The man called Punk covered his entire body in a black robe, without raising his head and burying his head in the research table in front of him. "Based on the seasons, cycles, and the hatching of beast eggs and the growth of cubs we monitored... there is a 76.364% probability that Shandi is in the midst of a beast disaster. It is not uncommon for a beaked beast to run here..."

"The stars..." Sparks appeared in his hands, "they will take care of it themselves."

"This is different." Even though it was a negative sentence, the other voice was still as cold and flat as ever. "The screen shows: some biological points are moving at a speed of 60 hours after being attacked. It is chaotic and disorderly... This is consistent with the characteristics of the beaked beast."

"But some of the other markers that were converging together...didn't move."

"Fear is the most primitive instinct of animals. You and I both know that it is the one who can control it."

"Only humans."

Punk stopped moving, a screw slipped from his hand, and he paused:
"you're right."

Hearing this, a cold voice suggested: "It's time to clean up."

Punk said nothing, gathered up his black robe, walked to the middle of a mess of coils, pulled them apart, revealing a red button.

"Positioning," he said.

A chaotic echo.

"The speaker is broken again, can you fix it?" another person said, "The last time the material had a good vocal organ."

Punk ignored him and stretched out his finger, pressing the red button.

"The password is... Glory," he said.

His fingers were iron gray.

The bearings and gears turned, making a creaking sound, as if there was not enough lubrication oil.

Consumes twelve joules of energy.

Push down with your index finger.

Noise.

confirm.

"emission."

The room fell into silence, the lights dimmed instantly, and the battery reserve dropped by 30%... Behind Punk, the skeleton lying on the experimental table was disassembled into pieces, and the exposed coils and transistors were completely dimmed.

"Oh, you forgot to enable the independent power supply."

Said a cold voice.

Punk didn't answer.

A spark flashed.

The lost current rushed to the control tower's only remaining high-power transmission and sending machine, barely starting it up.

at the same time.

Far away in the depths of the lonely land of revenge, all the stars in the sky emitted a scarlet light.

Then, as if it had gone crazy, it sprinkled endless fire from the sky onto the earth.

The pillar of light connects heaven and earth.

The scattered beaked beasts, the White Eyebrow Clan who had set up their tents... including the temporary base of the Merchant Guild which was supposed to be in the "safe area", were all shrouded in the orange-red light column.

"God..."

An old man from the White Eyebrow Clan witnessed this scene and could only utter a sigh.

Thunder exploded right above my head.

Countless people were so frightened that they fell to their knees, raised their hands above their heads, and worshiped.

They are the people of the land of Shem, and the gods in heaven are their faith...If the cattle and sheep on the grassland are the blessings of the gods in heaven, then the indestructible fire of revenge from heaven is undoubtedly the wrath of the gods.

This is also one of the reasons why wandering tribes were reluctant to approach the land of revenge in the past.

And at this moment,
They angered God.

Praying is not to beg for life, but simply to show one's attitude, to be willing to accept this punishment, to let the kneeling body become an eternal posture in the sky fire...

That's how it should be.

Wu Ma's body trembled, and he was almost about to kneel down like his people.

I don’t know whether to say that he reacted slowly or quickly - the extra time allowed him to notice it.

The man raised his head suddenly, and saw a huge halo suddenly appearing above his head, shining like the sun in the dark night, and exuding a terrifying heat.

However, it did not burn through.

The fur of the cattle and sheep turned into ashes at the first contact, and only the layer of cloth dispersed by the nameless clan remained.

This layer of cloth was originally quite thick, but that was only compared to ordinary linen and silk. In fact, it was so fragile that Wu Ma was confident that he could cut it with a casual knife.

In the face of the destructive power of the heavenly fire, the indigo paint melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its color faded... but it managed to survive after all.

"call!"

A fat hand suddenly stretched out from the ruins.

The tent of the Merchants' Guild was hit directly in the first round of skyfire attack. Even the steel frame was burned crooked, but the mask on top was surprisingly intact.

After the exquisite decoration was shattered.

The cloth that was revealed was also similar special cloth, but its color was much darker than the cloth in Ren Lin's hand.

Ren Lin was still in shock, but also extremely relieved.

fine……

As a caravan that travels to the Land of Revenge all year round, even though they know that the Valley of Revenge is a safe route, they still take precautions.

They were building the camp.

The technology from the mechanic was used.

In order to allow the partner technology hunters to freely explore various harsh environments, the mechanic activated various black technologies unlocked from the artificial intelligence core.

Among them, one can guard against the vengeful sky fire.

It's this indigo paint.

Tech hunters painted and sprayed them onto cloth of various colors, and thus the famous 'Mercenary Camp' was created - outsiders could imitate their appearance, but it would be in vain if they could not obtain the core materials.

Fortunately, in principle they are specially supplied to technology hunters.

But as long as you think of a way and dare to do favors.

With the reputation of the Merchant Guild and the United City, they were able to get it, even if they had to pay a very high price.

And paint is precious.

It was only available to high-level caravans passing by. On weekdays, they did not dare to leave the safe area of ​​the Valley of Vengeance, so they were rarely attacked by the skyfire. A little paint could be used for a long time.

Like today, an entire caravan's reserves were almost exhausted.

Ren Lin's heart was still bleeding.

Fortunately, his life was saved.

"It must be the White Eyebrow Clan... so many clansmen moving into the revenge land at once will inevitably cause a violent reaction from the Skyfire." He gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart.

The frequency of skyfire attacks is almost proportional to the degree of biological gathering - this law has also been summarized by many people.

Therefore, people who have traveled to the Land of Revenge often say:
Here, it is better to travel alone than with friends.

In addition, the White Eyebrow Clan also attracted a group of beaked beasts, which made the situation even worse... It even affected themselves who were originally in a safe area, causing unnecessary losses.

Around Ren Lin, there were several unlucky mercenary warriors who were unable to hide within the protection range of the special cloth and were affected by the heavenly fire.

All the armor they wore, made of gold and iron, melted and turned into molten iron.

It dripped and mixed with the charred human figures.

A warrior wailed.

Call it lucky or unlucky, half of his body was roasted.

His companions couldn't bear to see him like this, so they drew their swords and killed him.

It was the insane survivor.

This time he survived by chance again.

After the fire, dust rose everywhere.

Ren Lin looked back with a slightly distorted mind, searching for the figure of the White Eyebrow Clan through the rolling heat waves.

He understood that the other party had fled into the land of revenge in a panic in order to avoid the beast disaster - now the beaked beasts were under the concentrated attack of the sky fire, some died and some fled, and they really no longer posed a threat.

However, if they could escape into the land of revenge, they could avoid the beast disaster...how could the wandering tribes of the past not have thought of this?
The fate of the White Eyebrow Clan will only be worse...

In the distance, the dust settled.

The endless indigo-colored canvas came into Ren Lin's sight.

His pupils suddenly dilated!

Exactly the same paint!

How did the White Eyebrow Clan get connected with the Tech Hunters... More importantly, judging from the appearance, in order to pursue a larger area, the materials used by the other party were not even as rich as those of the Merchant Guild.

But after a round of heavenly fire.

Compared to mine, the other party's remaining color is brighter... and the amount consumed is much less!
What kind of black technology is this...

No, what kind of magic is this!?

The bee-man soldiers were scattered throughout the various tribes of the White Eyebrow Clan to maintain order. The simple herdsmen, who originally believed that they would die under the heavenly fire, were now shocked when they saw that a thin layer of cloth could block the wrath of the gods.

Their reaction was even more exaggerated than when they witnessed the power of the heavenly fire, because it directly broke their traditional cognition.

As the beemen under the Red King, it is much easier to accept it -

After all, they had witnessed the miracle of building a wall of earth and not losing the defense line.

[B-level module: building health]

[Class B module: fast construction]

Ji Hai struggled to get up from the ground. His body was covered with a thick layer of dust and felt unbearably hot, as if it was going to cook the flesh and blood under his skin.

However, he was not hit by any heavenly fire.

As Lu Beiyou said:
He has the protection of the vigorous vitality of the beaked beasts on one side, and the gathered people of the White Eyebrow Clan on the other side... He is alone in the middle and is most likely to be ignored by "Xingchen".

It is better to travel alone than to travel with others.

Seeing the intact temporary tent, Ji Hai was stunned for a moment, obviously not knowing what role he played in it.

If he could not become the de facto leader of the White Eyebrow Clan, and did not pledge allegiance to the Red King - he would become a companion of the 'Nameless One'.

Then this newly built tent will not be included in Lu Meng’s stronghold.

You won’t be able to enjoy the module bonus.

It is impossible to build a temporary tent before the skyfire in the Revenge Land "reacts"; it is also impossible to achieve more than twice the effect of an ordinary "camp" with half the standard amount of fire-retardant paint.

You know, even though Lu Meng had been longing for this material, when he left Scone Town and entered the swamp to trade with the technology hunters, he had almost emptied his family's fortune, and the amount he obtained was not much.

Good steel should be used on the blade.

Even in the battle of Shark Village, when Lu Meng guessed that the Hound Gang was going to use fire attack, he did not consider using it - just to wait until this moment, upgrade the permissions and unlock the module, so as to achieve a greater effect... and save money at the same time.

And this also means.

They can at least withstand two rounds of heavenly fire.

"not good!"

Ren Lin reacted - since the White Eyebrow Clan was safe and sound, so many people gathered...

He ignored the warriors around him and started to run.

"Isn't it cleaned up?" Punk looked at the green dots which had not decreased much, and there was a hint of doubt in his mechanical voice.

"The people outside are becoming more and more presumptuous. If you don't act faster..." the cold voice beside him said, "Do you need me to lead the army out?"

"No need." Punk took off his hood, revealing a crane-shaped speaker and a pair of cameras, which made it easier for him to carefully examine the console display. "Last time, you almost got exposed..."

"—Screamer."

P4MK2 improved skeleton pressed the firing button again.
