Pillars of Ita

Chapter 977 Change of Mindset

The huge wreckage leans on the building, and it is difficult to describe its evil appearance in words alone. There are visceral tentacles growing on the pale gray skin, and the skin folds and collapses, like a body that has been peeled off the skin and turned inside out. biology.

The creature was severed in half, and had completely lost its vitality. Some milky white bugs crawled out of its huge remains, and fell to the ground.

Flames emerged from the collapsed building, several dusty human bodies were crushed under the collapsed brick wall, and another corpse fell at the door of the hotel, all kinds of bright red and milky white colors were painted all over the floor.

Ming was facing that direction, and was gently withdrawing his palm.

She watched this scene with a serious face, and then turned to everyone and said indifferently: "There is no need to clean up, everyone is dead, find someone to guard the Resurrection Temple, and don't let the tree man infiltrate that place."

Then she asked the militia captain in charge, "So what's going on?"

The militiamen who came to support looked serious, "A few hours ago, someone found more than a dozen withered tree men gathered in the north of the town, and the silver helmet knights all went there. Now the battle there is not over yet, and there are several withered tree men People infiltrated the town from other directions to cause such a tragedy, ma'am."

"What's your loss?"

"Fortunately, there are a few minor injuries, one person has a broken leg, and only one brother went to the temple. Thanks to your help, ma'am." The militia captain looked at her and said very gratefully. They had planned to suffer heavy losses. I prepared it, but I didn't expect the Colin people living in the hotel to be so powerful.

Ming interrupted him, "Now is not the time to talk about this, you take your people to guard the temple."

"But there are still many monsters in the town..."

"Leave the remaining withered tree people to me," Ming said, "tell me where they are and how many there are."

"There are about six to seven," the other party said quickly, "Three of them entered the town from the south, and the rest are all in the east. They came too suddenly, and we haven't had time to evacuate the people there."

Ming nodded.She turned her head and said to the young man beside her, "Lan Zhou, take people to the south, be sure to evacuate them and let them come to this place."

The boy nodded and rushed out with the others.But Ming grabbed him and looked at him very seriously: "Remember, you are the chosen ones."

The boy was stunned for a moment, but suddenly realized something, his eyes shone brightly.He immediately nodded vigorously.

The captain of the militia looked at the departing Koolin contestants with great gratitude. Most of them were not very old, but they were still children.The middle-aged man turned his head, his eyes became hot, "Thank you so much, Sid Town will definitely remember this kindness forever."

"Don't talk nonsense," Ming waved at him, "Hurry up."

A group of militiamen left this place step by step.

Ming turned around.Fang Plover subconsciously looked at the Construct Queen, and Gu Landan stood aside with his sleeves pulled, looking at the chaotic scene with some fear and confusion.

It's not his fault. The young man left his hometown from Yasha and came to this place, but he is only fourteen or fifteen years old. Where has he seen such a scene? —Monster, killing, but his hometown was a fairly peaceful little place.

Ming looked at the two of them, and said, "Ed, you stay."

Fang Yan looked at Ms. Ming, and did not refute immediately, he knew that the other party must have something to say.

Ming admired the tranquility shown by the other party very much. It seemed that the other party had indeed grown a lot since leaving the goblin's residence.

"Most of the people left in the hotel are players who have no ability to protect themselves. Your responsibility is to protect everyone," Ming Fang Plover said. "By the way, strengthen the defense here. Many people will come here to take refuge later."

Fang Plover nodded.

His performance made Ming feel relieved, and he stopped talking. He waved to the night sky, and a giant mechanical beast descended from the sky, flapping its wings and landed in front of everyone.It lowered its head and made the Construct Queen stand on its back before it soared into the sky and disappeared into the night.

"Ed," said Luo Wei who was behind Fang Plover at this time, "there are 15 contestants from Kapuka and the Guta Artisan Association in the hotel, and there are also seven apprentices, none of whom have the ability to fight. There are still seven people who have a little bit of self-preservation ability, the teacher had let them stay separately in their own rooms on the second and third floors."

"Let them gather in the lobby on the first floor," Fang Yan replied immediately.He looked at Mu Lan again, "Sister Mu Lan, you go to the second floor. Gulande, can you go to the third floor?"

Mu Lan immediately nodded and left.The boy hesitated for a moment before nodding reluctantly.

Fang Plover gave the other party an encouraging look.He looked at Luo Wei again, "Senior Luo Wei, I remember the teacher brought several sets of teaching aids, including a set of mystical barriers, right?"

Luo Wei understood, and immediately said: "The set of teaching aids is in the basement."

"Sister Luo Wei, come with me."

Luo Wei nodded and followed behind.The two set off immediately, but Fang Yan's footsteps suddenly slowed down just after passing through the hall. "Ed, what's the matter?" Luo Wei was somewhat surprised when she saw this.

Fang Plover frowned and turned around, and said to her, "Senior Luo Wei, I remember teaching aids don't have a source of magic power?"

Luo Wei was startled, and also remembered this incident.But she frowned, and immediately added: "But we brought a lot of things. There should be a set of independent magic furnace and core crystal in the basement, which is also a set of teaching aids. Maybe we can find a way to assemble them."

"It's too late." Fang Yan shook his head, "It will take a lot of time just to find those things, and the two of us are not enough, I'm afraid we have to find another way."

Luo Wei looked at him unexpectedly.

She was about to say something, but suddenly there was a terrifying scream outside.A few people who were originally on the street outside the hotel were scrambling back from that direction.

Fang Plover looked in that direction.He walked to the window, raised his head, looked through the window, and saw a huge shadow shaking its tentacles a few buildings away.

A fish that slipped through the net.I don't know whether it was the negligence of the militiamen or another group of withered treants infiltrated into the town after that.

But either way, it's bad.

It's true that misfortunes never come singly. Fang Yan originally thought that time was too late, but now it's even more critical.He pulled the curtain casually, turned around, and saw the other people fleeing into the hall like headless chickens.

Fang Plover frowned, and with a gesture of his hand, the hotel door automatically closed with two bangs.Then he raised his hand, and a Ts-1 Lurker appeared in that place.

After sealing the door, Fang Plover turned around, and saw that Senior Luo Wei was equally nervous and looking at him at a loss.Fang Yan forced himself to calm down and said, "Sister Luo Wei, I have an idea, but I need your help."

"I?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a loud noise outside the wall, shaking the entire hotel, interrupting the conversation between the two.

"Come with me," Fang Yan didn't have time to say more, grabbed the opponent's hand and rushed to the second floor.

"Wait..." Luo Wei froze for a moment, then hurriedly shouted: "Ed, the direction is wrong."

But she suddenly shut up.

Fang Plover had led her up to the second floor, found a door, pushed it with his hand, and the door opened with a sound.Behind the door was the classroom in the afternoon, and the huge planetarium that Ming asked him to try was still in the middle of the room.

There was no light in the house, and it was pitch black, but Fang Plover didn't care so much, and walked straight over.If he remembered correctly, apart from those redundant devices, this planetarium teaching aid should also be a genuine magic furnace.

As long as the projector and the simulation circle are removed, it can be used normally.

Luo Wei was turning on the light.Fang Yan turned around and said very fast: "Senior Luo Wei, I have a projector, and you have a magic circle. Let's take out this planetarium."

Luo Wei already understood what was happening at this moment, "Ed, what do you mean?"

Fang Plover looked out of the window, where a gray vine had already entangled.He said: "It's too late to open the barrier now, and there's no guarantee that there won't be a second withered treant nearby. I can't protect everyone, so I must first find a way to strengthen the defense here."

"But the planetarium can be used," Luo Wei couldn't help but said, "But Ed, there are no materials here."

"There are ready-made materials here," Fang Plover looked at the gray-white tentacles outside the window and said, "Sister, help me."

Knowing that the situation was urgent, Luo Wei didn't say anything more, walked over and unplugged several pipes plugged into the console, and then removed them from the console one by one.

But Fang Plover moved faster, and removed the projection crystal in three strokes, five and two, and pushed it down heavily on the ground.He turned around and put his hand on the input port.

At this time, the tentacles pressed harder and harder, and the glass on the window suddenly shattered with a crash.I don't know what happened on the first floor, but there was a scream from below, and at that moment, Fang Yan felt that he had lost contact with the Ts-1 lurker.

"Okay, Ed." Luo Wei just removed the last pipe, raised her head and said to him.But when she saw Fang Yan's last movement, she suddenly froze.

Fang Plover did not put any raw materials into the planetarium, but with him as the center, one light path after another is rising on the wooden floor closely connected by the planetarium.

He doesn't need raw materials.

Because the entire hotel is made of raw materials.

Luo Wei suddenly understood everything, she looked at this scene in disbelief, "Ed, you—"

Fang Yan turned around and interrupted her: "Senior sister, watch out, I will only try this once."

Finished.

He turned around, closed his eyes, and took a light breath.Five lines of light illuminated from under his magic glove at the same time, and the light went down along the input interface, divided into two, divided into four, and then turned into eight, sixteen, and thirty-two. Countless light streaks run down the columnar console.

The input interface has almost become a dazzling beam of light at this moment, and the light fills every circuit on it, emitting a dazzling glow in all directions.

The streaks of light continued downward, forming an intertwined light net, which penetrated down into the wooden floor of the hotel.

It continued outward, the more it diffused, the more radiant it became. The light net passed under Luo Wei's feet, passed the outer wall of the hotel, and penetrated into the ground and soil.If there is anyone outside the hotel at this moment, he will see a wonderful scene——

There, layers of soil seem to come to life, stacked up layer by layer like building blocks.

Rock walls were forming a protective shell like quicksilver along the outside walls of the inn.

This shell directly squeezed the roots of the withered tree man, causing it to fall off layer by layer. There was a sharp angry cry from outside the hotel, but the monster was helpless at the moment.

It could only watch helplessly as a rock fortress was stacked and formed in front of itself.

But when the last rock wall completely covered the roof of the hotel, Fang Plover withdrew his mind. Thousands of thoughts in his conscious world were closed at the same time. When he opened his eyes, countless rays of light disappeared in the dark world in an instant.

and return to a point.

He let go of his magic gloves.

Everything is back to normal.

There was silence in the house.

There was a light 'click', which was the sound of the magic crystal on the planetarium cracking.Several magic furnaces of the planetarium turned red at the same time, chi chi emitting white smoke.

On the side, Luo Wei opened her mouth slightly, watching this scene without making any sound.

Fang Plover just turned around, and was about to explain something to his senior sister.

But the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground came from behind the two of them, and Fang Yan looked in the direction where he was startled, only to find Mu Lan standing at the door, looking at him blankly.

The thing in her hand fell to the ground. It was a magical device, probably a recycled teaching aid.But Mu Lan just stood blankly at the door, like a large group of people behind her, they didn't know anything about it.

Everyone was motionless like puppets, as if under some magic.

Fang Plover sighed slightly.

This is not what he wants to see.However, he changed his mentality, and Ms. Ming's words had completely awakened him——to hide himself deliberately was nothing but self-deception.

No one can turn a blind eye to an elephant inside the house.

Fang Yan raised his head and said to everyone in a calm tone: "Don't be in a daze, go to the lobby and wait for me. Those who can fight, pick up weapons to protect others."

He is a member of the regiment, and his words do not carry authority here.

It was his first day at this place, and he had just met many people here.

But at this moment Fang Yan's words seemed to be a silent truth, and most people looked at him with indescribable expressions.Luo Wei came back to her senses at this time, and quickly said:

"Everyone listen to Ed."

No one refuted, those capable of fighting consciously put on the magic gloves, and the others evacuated in the direction of the lobby on the first floor in an orderly manner.

Luo Wei was the last to leave.

Before she left, she looked at Fang Plover, knowing that the other party had something to say to her.Fang Yan looked at her and said, "Sister Luo Wei, please protect yourself and everyone, I will go back as soon as I go."

There was a convincing force to his words at the moment.

Luo Wei only nodded slightly when she heard the words, but still asked softly, "Ed, do you need my help?"

Fang Plover shook his head, only putting on the pride of the lonely king.

……

Gray vines approached.

Fang Plover stretched out his hand and grabbed the rattan wrist firmly.As soon as he raised his head and focused his eyes, the pride of the lonely king on his arm made a crisp sound and separated from it.

The long vines swung in a circular arc and swept towards the crowd not far away.But the square plover dragged a long steel cable in the opposite direction to accompany it, and its end was pulled sideways by its own gravity.

The Whip Shadow deflected and crashed into the nearby building, leaving a deep gully on the high rock wall there.

But Fang Plover had already let go of his hand in mid-air, and under the action of inertia, he turned upside down in mid-air. He shot his claws in another direction and pulled down the goggles at the same time.

The tall gray and white figure came into view.

Fang Plover stretched out his hand, turned his palm [-] degrees clockwise, and pointed his finger down——a light blue phantom appeared from the withered tree man's head, and fell straight down from the midair.

Eight sharp tentacles stuck down, and clasped the three eyeballs on the creature's canopy. It raised its claws and poked it down, and white juice splashed out.

The gray-white creature let out a hysterical scream, shaking the gray-white tentacles to throw the mechanical choker away.

The steel cable is pulling the square plover to turn around in mid-air.

From the upside-down view, he just watched the frantic creature silently, calculating the angle, power and fleeting opportunities in his mind.

In his field of vision is another picture.

A tall centaur structure suddenly crashed into the building and appeared. It borrowed strength back and forth between the three surrounding buildings, and when it leaped for the third time, it flew high, and stabbed the gray tree trunk of the withered treant with a spear in its hand. .

The spear pierced straight in.

The bright light of the gun tip exploded.

In the sun-like light, the huge creature's figure flickered.

But this moment.

Fang Plover's heart moved, and five light spots lit up in the dark world of consciousness at the same time, and the consciousness connected the five scattered ends like lightning.

"Give me the middle—"

He gritted his teeth, word by word.

At that moment, five beams of light spears flashed from all directions from the burning street at the same time, piercing into the gray and withered torso of the withered tree man, causing the huge monster to shake its tentacles and finally crash down.

The five constructs slowly descended from mid-air.

With a loud crash, the building made a tooth-piercing sound, and then the surroundings finally became quiet, leaving only the sound of flames peeling and burning.

Fang Plover withdrew his claws and landed lightly with his strength.He wiped his face with his hands, and it was covered in blood.

He let out a breath and looked back, the hotel was safe and sound surrounded by the sea of ​​fire.All the evacuated people gathered there, watching him from a distance.

When Ming supported his mechanical dragon beast and fell from mid-air, what he saw was the young man standing beside the huge gray wreck, holding a water bottle in one hand, and pouring water into his mouth with his neck raised.

Ming jumped down and looked at each other.

Fang Plover also put down the kettle and looked at her, with a straight expression—he had paint on his face, a long wound, bloody.The Withered Treant is a creature between level [-] and [-]. It is obviously not easy for him to fight against two.

But Fang Plover seemed very indifferent.

There, the tall Lancers held their spears and stood in a row behind the young man, looking awe-inspiring like a group of knights.

A large number of milky white bugs fell from the dead tree trunk, and some wriggled and crawled to its feet, and Fang Plover kicked them away without even looking at them.

Behind him, there are many people.The contestants of Kaolin-Ithurian's delegation, as well as the people from the evacuated town they protected, everyone's eyes were on Fang Plover.

It was a look of admiration and admiration.

And a touch of awe.

Ming was slightly taken aback, and when she looked at Fang Plover again, she finally couldn't help but smile.

Smile a little happily.

In the end, the other party understood what she meant, and now that young man finally has a bit of a man.

In the past he was very young.

But the road ahead must be exciting.

The construction queen thought so in her heart.After many years, she saw new hope in this circle again.
