Chapter 522: Disaster of Flesh and Blood
A strange island appeared on the vast sea.
The island was wrapped in a mass of twisted flesh and blood, with exposed flesh and blood that looked like blood vessels and fascia spreading and covering it.
Looking from a high vantage point, the flesh and blood were still jumping constantly, and there seemed to be liquid flowing in the blood vessels and flesh and blood, as if the entire island was activated by this flesh and blood.
The tumor-like mass protruding from the central hill was still throbbing, beating rhythmically like a strange heart.
The buildings on the island were not completely destroyed. Some flesh and blood were just attached around the buildings, making them even more evil and disgusting.
The fascia-like blood vessels are as dense as a spider web, and some are completely covered in flesh and blood.
These things made of flesh and blood stick together, and from time to time they excrete some thick, bloody fluid.
Abnormally disgusting.
In addition to these large clumps of flesh and blood that are connected and spread out on the island, independent individuals can also be seen.
There are many monsters similar to this twisted flesh and blood. Some of them look like twisted humans, walking crookedly and swayingly.
Like a skinless flesh monster, in addition to the human form, there are also various more distorted shapes.
Of course, there are also various animal-like flesh and blood monsters.
They moved slowly, as if confused about their own existence, moving so slowly.
"call out!"
There was a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
A twisted monster with a pair of huge flesh and blood ears looked up at the sky.
Then he saw a black shadow drawing an arc and coming straight towards him.
The slowly moving figure left him with almost no chance to dodge, and the black shadow fell straight down.
Bang!
Accompanied by a huge explosion and intense flames.
The monster was immediately smashed into a ball of flesh and blood, with splattered flesh spreading all around.
There were dark holes and scattered black pieces of meat on the ground. Besides the smell of fireworks, there was also the smell of burnt meat in the air.
Even though a lot of this flesh and blood was blown into pieces by the explosion, they were still connected by some fascia and blood vessel threads.
The flesh and blood began to wriggle like worms.
Then it slowly gathered towards the center. Since some of the flesh and blood had been completely burned, the destroyed and condensed mass of flesh and blood could no longer restore its previous distorted human figure.
Instead, it turned into a mass of flesh that squirmed like a worm, leaving behind a mucus liquid on the ground that looked like a mixture of pus and blood.
But not all pieces of meat have this effect. After being destroyed, most of the flesh and blood monsters just fall to the ground and turn into piles of meat.
If it happens to fall on flesh and blood, it will be directly absorbed.
The whole process was extremely difficult to adapt to and made people feel sick.
The whistling sound of shells passed through the air, flying across the sky from time to time, and then smashing everywhere at random.
Some of them hit the flesh and tumor, making a big hole, and some flesh and blood was blown out from inside.
But facing a flesh and blood monster as big as an island, these tiny holes were like tickles to him and had no effect at all.
Not to mention the extremely strong recovery ability of this flesh and blood. These big holes have just appeared, and countless flesh and blood have spread where they were blown open. The meat silk binding will repair it, and it will even become more evil. The pieces of flesh that were blown out will also aggregate on the outside to form new ones, and monsters will wander around.
There were countless sailing ships in the surrounding seas, attacking the island. The shells kept bombarding the flesh and blood, but always returned in vain.
All wounds can heal themselves in a short period of time, and the flesh and blood can also condense into smaller monsters. It is like an arsenal that continuously produces monsters.
This island of flesh and blood seems to be an invincible existence. In addition to artillery shells, there are also some strange energy attacks in the sky.
But the damage caused by these attacks is the same as that of artillery shells, and it is difficult to cause any damage to this flesh and blood island with extremely strong vitality and recovery ability.
Seen from the sky, the island looks like a huge rising life form, slowly crawling.
Finally, the attacks in the distance stopped and the surroundings became quiet.
Around the Rising Sun Island, one ship after another was sailing slowly around the island.
The artillery attacks just now were fired from these ships.
At a glance, there were dozens of ships surrounding the island.
There are some converted armed merchant ships, as well as many strange ships, which should come from some teams sailing in the vast ocean.
Most of them are steel warships from the Holy Machine Church. The black gun muzzles on the hull are devices for launching cannonballs.
These steel ships are also printed with the emblem of the Holy Machine Church and are deployed around the island like fortresses.
A huge steel warship, hundreds of meters long.
From the magnificent structure of the ship, we can tell that this should be the flagship of the surrounding fleet.
He was not close enough to the island, but rather outside a certain range, because his artillery attack had an extremely long range and could accurately hit the island even in this place.
In addition, he is the flagship and needs to be in charge of the command, so he stays in a relatively safe place.
At this time, on the deck of the steel ship, stood an old man in a military coat.
Although he is an old man, he looks full of energy, with a black and white slicked back hair and a beard with some black hair.
There was a cigarette in his mouth.
Smoke continued to come out of his mouth.
He stared at the island in the distance with those eyes that did not look like those of an old man, but with strong emotions.
"Bishop, we have failed. We have already conducted 10 rounds of bombardment, but still have not stopped the island's slow movement. According to calculations, it is even speeding up, and will move faster and faster from now on."
Hearing the report from behind him, the old man nodded.
His eyes turned melancholy as he looked towards the flesh-and-blood island in the distance.
"Have the people from the Secret Spell Council arrived?"
Hearing the old man's words, the people behind him nodded.
"We have seen traces of their ships. They should arrive soon."
Hearing this, the old man nodded .
Then the scholar of the Holy Machine Church behind him thought for a moment and said, "Our reconnaissance ship also sent a report saying that the Compass Eye treasure hunting team has also arrived."
Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but sigh heavily.
He picked up the pipe in his hand and took a deep puff. The white smoke he exhaled even covered his face.
"Oh, it's so embarrassing." The old man shook his head helplessly.
Then turned around.
At this time, not far from the team, Alka and his team's Sound of Dawn were moving towards here quickly. From a distance, they could already see the full picture of the island of flesh and blood.
"How disgusting! Yue!" Lucilia, who was sitting on Alka's shoulder, couldn't help but feel nauseous and retched when she saw this scene.
What she hated most was this kind of scene made up of twisted flesh and blood. It made her feel uncomfortable all over.
She now wished she could fly over and burn this island of flesh and blood.
Although they had seen this scene in Arca Knight's image before, the visual experience when they actually arrived at the scene was much more real than the image in the mirror.
Of course, the same thing is also too disgusting.
And the most important thing is that the images they saw in the mirror were one or two months ago.
Although the change is not big, it should be a lot more swollen than before.
"A good landmark island has become like this. How big is the loss?" Juanlu couldn't help but say when looking at the situation of the island.
But they knew that this island that looked like flesh and blood was originally a landmark island.
Although it is not as good as landmark islands like the Twin Islands, nor as important as the Dengshen Peak.
But its importance is at least much better than border landmark islands like Southern Cross Island.
As a result, it was destroyed and occupied by flesh and blood monsters. The loss can be imagined.
Not to mention that it is still the period of demon invasion.
"I just don't know how such a distortion of flesh and blood was caused. It's hard not to think of it as a demon." Jason said from the side.
This is indeed true.
At this time, a landmark island was condensed by such an explosion of flesh and blood, and twisted into such a powerful monster. Anyone would inexplicably think that it was the evil deeds of the devil.
Not to mention that there is an avatar of the Devouring Mouth wandering outside, and it happens to be where the Trial Tower is.
If they hadn't known that the Devouring Mouth was far away and not here yet, they would have really thought that the Devouring Mouth had a hand in the creation of this place.
It's a stereotype. Whenever something bad happens, people want to put the blame on the Devouring Mouth.
As they slowly approached the island, an ironclad ship came over and guided them over.
Soon their ship slowly stopped and stopped in the center of the fleet. In front should be the flagship of the fleet, a huge steel ship.
Its size is two or three times that of Sound of Dawn.
The most important thing is the various weapons scattered around this steel ship, making it look like an armed fortress sailing on the sea.
Then the ship slowly approached and everyone boarded the steel flagship.
I saw an old man with gray beard walking towards me.
Although he looked like an old man, his walking posture was very powerful and impressive. He was tall and strong.
If he didn't really look like an old man, it would be hard to call him an old man.
"Master Alka? I have heard of your great reputation. I am the bishop of the Holy Machine Church, Saflev."
Alka also nodded and shook hands with the old man.
"Nice to meet you."
Then he couldn't help but point to the island of flesh and blood and said, "If you don't mind, can I ask what this is?"
Although it was expected, Alka had no idea what the specific reason was. It seemed that something major must have happened.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a big problem in a place like the Holy Machine Church.
Hearing this, Bishop Savlov couldn't help but sigh and nodded.
" Alas, all this is our fault."
Just as he was about to briefly explain the process to Alka and the others, a scholar wearing the robe of the Holy Church came over.
"Bishop, the team from the Secret Spell Council has arrived."
Hearing this, Bishop Saflev thought for a moment, nodded, and then looked at Alka and the others and said, "Another team has arrived. They may be able to help us get rid of the flesh and blood on the island. They are the helpers I invited.
So if you don't mind, come along, they also need to know the situation here."
Hearing this, Alka nodded: "Of course, no problem."
Then Alka and others followed the bishop and his party to the other side. On the other side of the ship was a strange ship.
The size of this ship is only about 30 meters, but the strange thing is that the bottom of the ship is high, it seems to have a deep draft, and the cabin is very large. And it looks like a half moon.
The ship's structure was very strange, and the fact that it did not sink into the water proved that it must have been constructed by some strange force.
It is surrounded by magical elements and various spells.
Even the sails were engraved with spells, and the materials used in the entire ship looked relatively expensive.
Otherwise, if such a ship is constructed with ordinary ships, how can it sail in the vast ocean? It is easy to capsize in normal seas.
Then, a teleportation array appeared on the steel deck in front of them.
As the teleportation array twisted, a group of people wearing light blue robes with densely packed and incomprehensible spells painted on them appeared.
Do you need to teleport even at such a short distance?
The leader took off the hood on his head, revealing an old man with a white beard.
The old man's beard reached all the way down to his waist, and looked very well groomed.
He exudes the aura of an old scholar.
He came over and looked at Savlov.
Then he looked at the island of flesh and blood in the distance.
"You old man, it looks like you've made a big mistake. It doesn't look like something that can be easily solved."
Hearing this, it was obvious that the two had known each other for a long time.
Savlov also sighed helplessly. He had forgotten how many times he had sighed during this period of time.
The situation during this period has forced this old man to start accepting his old age.
Although he still looks energetic.
"Well, if it wasn't such a big problem, I wouldn't have asked you to come."
As he spoke, he took the old man, the two people who were wearing the same attire following behind him, and Aka and the others into a meeting room.
The conference hall is very simple, but it has the style of the Holy Church.
Everyone took their seats consciously.
The bishop sat in the main seat and tapped the table lightly after watching everyone take their seats.
Then everyone in the meeting room fell silent.
The seats were limited and there were quite a few people standing around.
He first introduced to Alka and the others the group of people in blue robes.
"They are members of the Secret Spell Council. This is Speaker Anris, an old friend of mine."
Alka looked at the old man and nodded: "Hello."
Speaker Anris also nodded politely.
He then introduced Alka and the others: "They are members of the Compass Eye Treasure Hunting Group. This is their leader, Master Alka. They are here for important business."
Hearing this, Speaker Anris couldn't help but widen his eyes, obviously a little surprised.
"Are you the treasure craftsman Alka?"
Hearing this, Alka smiled and nodded.
Then his eyes fell on Lucelia, who was sitting with her calves resting on Alka's shoulder.
"Then this person must be Scholar Lucelia."
Hearing this, Lucilia turned her gaze from observing the surroundings and looked at him and nodded.
"Hello."
"Hello, hello." The old man nodded repeatedly.
Obviously, for scholars like them, Lucilia is much more attractive than Alka, the treasure craftsman.
Savlev seemed to have thought of something. In order to avoid the topic from being diverted, he quickly knocked on the table and said, "Let's talk about the most urgent issue first."
After hearing this, both parties fell silent and turned their attention to him.
"That flesh and blood island was formed a month and a half ago. The eruption was very sudden. The location of the eruption was the basement of a shop in the center of the town."
"When it erupted, one could feel a strong evil aura invading the entire island. Then some residents on the island were twisted into flesh-and-blood monsters by this aura.
According to our investigation, these residents were not affected by the aura. The aura was just an inducement. The seeds had been planted in them long ago.
However, the strength of these monsters is generally below the second stage, and they do not pose much threat. The only threat is that their indestructible bodies have extremely strong self-healing abilities.
But then the source of the explosion began to grow flesh and blood, which spread wildly. No matter how hard we tried, whether it was fire, holy light, or even the power of lightning, it was difficult to destroy the flesh and blood. "
Having said this, the bishop sighed.
“Then the places where the flesh and blood spread began to explode everywhere. Soon the flesh and blood that spread out from these places were even connected, and they became more difficult to deal with.
Everything happened so quickly, within less than half an hour, and we had no time to mount an effective resistance.
Many former island residents were transformed into flesh and blood monsters in the outbreak, and the entire island was in chaos for a while.
Some corpses were also mixed and transformed into more powerful flesh and blood monsters.
There weren't many soldiers and strong men on the island, because we had just sent out a group of members to support World Scar a week before."
It was obvious that the enemy's attack was premeditated and came at a time when their internal defenses were weak.
Alka couldn't help but think.
“After a period of investigation, it is believed that the cause of this incident is a cult that believes in some kind of evil god.
But there are so many such cults that we have not been able to find out who the evil god he believes in is.
Now the flesh and blood monsters have occupied the entire island and are difficult to destroy. The main problem is that this flesh and blood island is like an arsenal, constantly producing flesh and blood monsters.
However, most of the flesh and blood monsters created are very easy to deal with.
But he seems to be still expanding, even catching fish in the water, and even more terrifying is that he has begun to create some flesh and blood monsters in the ocean. "
Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but frown.
