Desperate Night

Hiss!

The dragon lizard spewed out black fire and rushed towards the black ship.

But the black fire fell on the hull and extinguished in an instant, and it couldn't burn at all.

Yu Hong mobilized two more dragon lizards to spit fire together.

But it was useless. The black fire couldn't ignite the black ship, and it couldn't even burn for a while.

He thought about it, took out a radiation grenade, pulled out the fuse and threw it forward.

The grenade landed accurately in the black ship, and a circle of strong negative radiation exploded instantly.

But this circle of negative radiation was like the splashes in the sea, which disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Yu Hong frowned and stepped back from the wooden bridge.

Back in the range of the formation, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body seemed to relax from the tension.

'Ignore it for the time being and see what reactions will happen later. If the formation can't bear it, think of a way'

The black ship is obviously very dangerous. He is so afraid of death that he will never easily take risks.

After determining the response method, Yu Hong circled around and returned to the cave.

In the empty camp, there was no one else except him.

After dinner, he practiced Qi training as usual, and then fell down to rest for a while.

Now two dragon lizards have hatched in the nest. Together with the four before, there are now six dragon lizards patrolling around the camp, plus the protection of the formation, there is no big problem with safety.

So he fell asleep, feeling quite at ease.

Beep beep

I don’t know how long it has been, a subtle alarm clock wakes him up from his sleep.

Yu Hong’s body, which was originally lying on his back, stood up straight, and the quilt slipped off him.

Huh... Huh.

He panted violently and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He closed his eyes, and the red color behind the formation in his mind became more and more.

Yu Hong’s face suddenly became solemn.

‘The burden of the wooden bridge has become heavier! ’

Before, it was only consuming one thousand red value per second, but after waking up, it actually increased to one thousand six per second!

The total output of the entire Fenghuo Tuling Formation is only 12,000 per second at most.

But the key is that this is continuous! If it is not stopped in time, the recovery speed of the entire formation will be suppressed, and the total amount will continue to decrease.

In this way, as long as the consumption speed is greater than the replenishment and recovery speed, all the reserves of the entire formation will eventually be consumed.

‘Will this consumption confrontation continue forever? ’

Yu Hong got out of bed, knowing that the situation was not good.

If the red value consumption is stable, it would be fine, and he can slowly study the solution to the problem.

But now, in just a few hours, the red value consumption has soared by hundreds per second.

If this continues to soar, when the formation is exhausted, these negative radiations in the cave safe house will not be able to stop the erosion of the wooden bridge black ship.

‘This problem must be solved, either relocate the cave safe house or solve the wooden bridge black ship and let it change its route! ’

Thinking of this, he quickly got up, put on his equipment and weapons, fully armed, and brought two dragon lizards to the back of the cave again.

Standing on the edge of the formation, on the black soil. Yu Hong glanced at the detector.

‘Time: 7:12. ’

‘Red value: 41.847’

Open the shield of the atomic light flashlight, and the green light will be emitted, illuminating the wooden bridge in the black fog in front in a fan shape.

Swish!

On the wooden bridge, a black figure with long hair was standing quietly on the bridge deck, facing Yu Hong.

At the moment of being illuminated, circles of invisible waves spread from the figure, covering all the surrounding hundreds of meters.

‘Kill him! ’

Yu Hong ordered in his heart.

Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi!!

One by one, the ground pond dragon lizards rushed over quickly, spraying black fire from all directions.

Lines of fire fell accurately on the figure.

But all the lines of fire were blocked by an invisible barrier in front of the figure. The barrier was like crystal glass, perfectly blocking all the black fire and splashing out black sparks.

The figure took a step forward and his figure suddenly flashed.

When he appeared again, he was in front of Yu Hong and raised his hand to grab him.

Yu Hong wanted to retreat, but strangely he moved forward and rushed towards the figure.

‘Another directional interference! ’

His face changed slightly, and he took a step forward in an instant.

But this time, strangely, he did not cause any interference, and he kept moving forward.

The two of them bumped into each other in the blink of an eye.

Hee hee hee.

The figure laughed strangely with joy, as if he was happy that he could get a lot of gains again.

He opened his hands, and twisted black smoke spread all over his body.

A vague mumbling sound was faintly heard, and it was hard to understand what language it was. Only the joy in the words spread clearly.

Puff!

The two of them completely collided with each other.

The figure hugged Yu Hong completely with his arms. Countless black smoke quickly shrank and covered Yu Hong's whole body.

Huh.

In a trance, a slight airflow sound came out.

Boom! !

Then a loud noise like thunder exploded.

Yu Hong raised his head suddenly, his face under the helmet was ferocious, and his whole body was burning with a faint white flame.

The bright and violent fire covered his entire body and rushed upwards. It was as if his entire body was burning!

He grabbed the iron ball with both hands and smashed it forward!

Boom!!!

The iron ball, which was burning with white fire inside, hit the figure fiercely with a terrifying impact force.

The huge explosive force squeezed, twisted, and shattered the upper body of the figure, and half of the body was gone in the blink of an eye.

The suction force on the iron ball made it impossible for the remaining body of the human figure to break away. It was dragged up and hung on the iron ball, whistling into the air and spinning in circles in the sky.

After several circles, with a bang, the iron ball flew out with the human figure and hit the ground in the distance.

With the sound of the chain clattering, Yu Hong took back the iron ball again. The surface of the ball was empty and nothing was left.

The white flame on his body gradually dimmed and disappeared.

‘It’s okay that the internal energy explosion consumed three of them.’

Just now, he thought that he would need a lot of radiation grenades to solve the problem. Unexpectedly, the power of the internal energy explosion made him completely tear the opponent’s body apart. Without a body, the figure seemed to disappear directly.

‘In addition to the radiation collision, it seems that tearing the opponent’s body apart with internal energy is also a solution. ’

‘In addition. Now that we are about to reach the sixth floor, has even the internal energy explosion changed? ’ There was nothing abnormal about the internal energy explosion before, but now the whole body is burning with white flames.

After stabilizing his condition, Yu Hong looked at the wooden bridge in front again. This time, he took a breath and controlled the two dragon lizards to rush in again.

After a while, the two dragon lizards saw the black ship and rushed up without hesitation.

After a while, the black ship slowly started and headed towards the depths of the black fog.

Yu Hong took the opportunity to rest and restore his internal energy, waiting for the result.

Not long after, about an hour later, the two dragon lizards on the wooden bridge returned quickly and returned to the range of the formation.

They all looked safe and sound, without any scars on their bodies.

Yu Hong squatted down and checked carefully.

Soon, he found a clue.

The soles of the two dragon lizards were lightly stained with a layer of white dry ash.

‘There is no white ash on the wooden bridge or on the boat. This ash should be brought from the destination of the black ship. ’

It was confirmed again that there was no danger.

Yu Hong sensed the red value confrontation of the formation, and the red value confrontation of the wooden bridge became more. In such a short time, it increased by several hundred per second.

‘Can’t delay! ’

He took a deep breath, and with a thought, all the dragon lizards in the camp gathered towards him.

There were six in total. All surrounded him.

Feeling the internal energy in his body recovering to perfection, Yu Hong recalled the feeling of smashing the figure just now, and felt that his strength should be somewhat guaranteed.

So, he finally raised his leg and stepped on the wooden bridge again.

Dudududu.

Following the wooden bridge all the way forward, he soon saw the dilapidated black ship again.

The value of the detector also soared to more than one million.

This time, Yu Hong did not hesitate, but tentatively let the dragon lizard go up first, and then he grabbed the board and stepped up.

The dilapidated deck of the ship was stronger than he thought, and it was not crushed by the weight of his iron ball.

Soon, all the dragon lizards were on board.

The black ship slowly moved forward, heading towards the depths of the dense and unknown black fog, and continued to move forward along the black river.

The speed of the black ship was not fast, but it seemed to be surrounded by a thick layer of distortion. Through the distortion and the black fog, it was blurry to look outside.

Yu Hong mainly tested whether his self-destructive tendency would increase on the black ship.

Fortunately, after staying on the ship for a while and making sure that there was no problem and the load was not increased, he asked the dragon lizard to patrol around and make sure that there was no black disaster on the black ship.

The black ship was obviously a tool to a certain place, and he had to make sure that this means of transportation could guarantee safety.

Otherwise, if he could not return after going out, it would be a huge risk that he could not bear.

The ruins of the Black Tree Village.

In the dark and deep cave, in front of a giant stone wall more than ten meters high.

Two fully armed investigation teams were gathering together. Some people worked together to use long metal rods to clamp the printed synthetic material model against the stone wall.

On this giant stone wall, there was a huge round arch pattern with traces of old.

The arch was like a huge sphere, with countless radial runes carved around it like the sun.

Countless black runes spread in all directions like the light released by the arch.

Inside the door were two gray-white doors that were also engraved with countless symbol patterns.

Some of these symbol patterns were broken and damaged, while others were intact but covered with things like dried moss and rock growth.

Click.

The repair model block 3D printed in New Aurora City fit perfectly into the mural door, leaving only the only circular hole in the middle.

All the members of the investigation team couldn't help but cheer slightly.

Lin Yiyi, Xue Ningning and Ou Li were all standing in the team, looking up at this crucial scene.

"The repair is finally completed. Next, we should be able to seal this node." Xue Ningning sighed. They met Yiyi's second investigation team halfway. The two of them relied on the detector and rushed along the cracks. When they encountered danger, they covered themselves with a pyroxene blanket and lay on the ground for several hours.

After such a hard journey, they finally met the investigation team halfway.

Thanks to the strength of the investigation team's weapons, they successfully followed to the ruins of Black Tree Village.

"No!" Yiyi looked at the repaired whole on the stone wall and frowned suddenly.

Not only her, but also a little girl not far away also denied it.

The investigation team who were still cheering suddenly calmed down slowly. Look at the two people.

"What do you mean? Yiyi?" The leader of the investigation team is a tall and thin man named Wu Changsong.

He is also a mutant, with a special physique and strong decisiveness, so he was chosen as the leader of the investigation team.

"No changes. Captain, don't you feel it?" The little girl on the other side walked out slowly.

It was Eisena.

"Obviously, something key is missing. I can feel that the door is missing the most critical thing. Something like a key can lock the door." Eisena said calmly.

Just the day before yesterday, she celebrated her fourteenth birthday. One person, one candle, and one pancake.

If her father Li Runshan was still alive, he would definitely prepare a delicious cake for her. Even if there was no cake, he would try his best to make a pot of delicious stew and sing a birthday song for her.

With her father around

She doesn't have to think about anything, and doesn't have to consider anything

Coming back to her senses, Eisena suppressed the bitterness in her heart.

"It is true that we are still missing a key." The specialist in charge of intelligence liaison in the rear investigation team said. He was wearing headphones and his voice came out clearly from the breathing valve.

"According to the latest intelligence from Aurora City, after the seal is repaired, we must find a stone key taken away by the Mesha family and insert it into the center of the stone wall gate to complete the seal repair of this node!"

"Key?"

Everyone's heart sank.

"Aurora City has already found the whereabouts of the Mesha family members in Donghe and has mobilized troops to start encirclement and suppression."
