Chapter 142 Dark Forest

Xiao Jian had never used so many cards at the same time.

This was the first time that he used the [Chili Incendiary Bomb] and [Cherry Bomb], which were previously considered trump cards, as firecrackers.

There was a subtle feeling of... a little distressed, but also a little happy.

"Boom boom boom..."

The first to explode was the chili incendiary bomb.

After dozens of explosions, a raging flame ignited around the statue.

And the durability of the statue also dropped sharply at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Durability: 325/600

And then, the cherry bombs that were put down later also exploded one after another!

"Boom boom boom..."

The durability that had just stopped dropped again!

The brown tentacles in the sky had no time to care about Xiao Jian, and they gathered around the statue and wrapped it... using their bodies as a shield for the statue.

In the shock wave detonated by dozens of cherry bombs, the tentacles still protected the statue, but at the moment when the tentacles touched the statue... the ground suddenly shook!

Then, it was as if an invisible blade cut off the gravity!

There was an invisible force stirring violently deep underground, causing the entire ground to fluctuate like waves.

The originally stable rules of heaven and earth began to be subverted.

Countless stones, wooden stakes, dust, and even the remains of buildings with deep foundations floated into the sky.

The earth began to crack.

The bottomless cracks opened like the mouth of a monster, swallowing everything.

The cliff walls of the South Five Fortress also began to collapse, turning into countless huge reinforced concrete structures that slowly rose into the air...

Chaos continued to spread.

The buildings and walls that once stood tall... collided constantly as they rose.

Some large pieces of building debris began to disintegrate and turned into smaller pieces.

And the fragments that barely remained intact in the collision completely collapsed in the next collision.

In this disaster that spread throughout N5001, everything seemed so small and helpless.

All the changes happened in a short moment.

The starting point of the chain reaction was the moment when Oriteo's tentacles touched the statue.

Obviously, this should have been the last step of this grand sacrifice.

When Oriteo was fully prepared, it would swallow the entire N5001 intact.

But obviously, its plan failed... or at least it was advanced.

"Squeak--"

With a heart-wrenching and miserable cry, the sky collapsed.

The seemingly huge fragments of the world shattered like a crushed egg!

There was no gravity, no up and down, and even... no light.

Endless darkness quickly engulfed the entire world!

Xiao Jian tried to maintain his posture, opened his eyes wide and looked at the endless void...

No, this is not the void!

Xiao Jian himself did not notice that a flame slowly ignited in his eyes.

Although the world was dark, he actually began to see some outlines vaguely!

A behemoth that would cause giant phobia was hidden in the darkness.

If the statue, which was three or four stories high, was a sesame seed, then the main body of Oriteo hidden in the darkness was like a weeping willow.

Countless tentacles spread throughout Xiao Jian's field of vision, extending to the darker place that could not be seen clearly.

After N5001 was completely broken, the countless [anchor stones] and countless characteristics contained in it, like the nutritious and delicious egg yolk, appeared in front of Oriteo without reservation.

At this time, it only needed to move a little bit, and the essence of the whole world would be swallowed into its stomach.

However, Oriteo did not do so.

It didn't even have the mind to chase Xiao Jian, but paddled the huge "stinging skin" that looked like a piece of land, slowly crawling into the depths of darkness.

It... is retreating!

Why?

Just when this thought popped up in Xiao Jian's mind, something even bigger suddenly came rapidly in the darkness.

That thing was so huge that Xiao Jian even thought he saw the moving Mount Everest...

Then, the indescribable mountain opened its mouth and sucked slightly at Oriteo.

Xiao Jian felt that the whole world was drifting rapidly, as if he would disappear in the next moment into the huge mouth as big as a mountain.

However...

"Gurgle... Gurgle."

With a burst of hallucinations, the "mountain" closed its mouth again, leaving only a few thin tentacles hanging on its mouth.

The powerful Oliteo, who was only one step away from igniting the divine fire, was swallowed by something.

After the indescribable behemoth ate the "jellyfish", it ate a mouthful of N5001's "egg yolk", chewing the delicious food in its mouth, and disappeared slowly but quickly into the endless darkness...

"Dongdong... Dongdong..."

Although everything was over, Xiao Jian's clone was still standing in the void.

At this time, he seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat.

The fog gradually closed.

The ground under his feet also produced gravity again.

After the clone, the courtyard was already close at hand without knowing it.

Just as Xiao Jian was about to retract his clone, he suddenly saw light.

Red light, burning like a blazing flame, slowly flew over from afar and plunged into the mist of the courtyard.

Part of it fell on the forehead of Xiao Jian's body, while the other part merged into the crown of the old nanmu tree.

Then, countless gray fog leaves grew in the crown again.

It's just that the veins of these leaves are slightly red.

And Xiao Jian's character card also has two new features:

[Break the confusion]

Have a pair of eyes that can see through the confusion.

(Increase the vision distance in the fog and darkness.)

[Heroic Spirit]

Summon a friendly hero, lasting for 1 day, with a cooldown of 1 day.

Xiao Jian blinked, and the flames in his eyes gradually faded.

Then, he took back his clone.

"Huh..."

Xiao Jian let out a long breath.

The fog enveloped the courtyard again, and the world outside the fog wall was hazy again.

The courtyard lost almost half of its area, and the firewood that was originally neatly stacked also collapsed, and most of it was lost under the crushing of the tentacles of Oriteo.

It is worth noting that Xiao Jian's dry toilet was also lost.

Although it was soaked in water before, it can still be used after the water recedes... It's a pity to lose so many poops, Xiao Jian still wants to sell them to others.

But... I don't know why, looking at this familiar fog wall, Xiao Jian actually feels a little relieved. What's going on?

"Meow!!"

Da Huang suddenly jumped down from the third-floor terrace, holding a monocle in his mouth and tickling Xiao Jian's legs.

"Oh? Something?" Xiao Jian was stunned, picked up the monocle and looked inside.

As soon as the view was cut over, a cry was heard.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Zhang Jinyu was kneeling on the ground covered in blood, and Zhang Weidong in front of her was torn to pieces, with only the upper body lying in her arms.

Around her, there were familiar people in N7183.

Fatty Bai, Shao Youxian... and even a few silver-armored warriors that Xiao Jian had seen but didn't know their names.

...
