Chapter 67 Art is Explosion
Because the mechanical army is made of machines, it is directly immune to the foul-smelling gases that are equivalent to poison gas attacks.
They poured out energy bullets produced by the reaction furnace. The golden bullets with electric arcs exploded directly after touching the tree. The explosive energy caused the dirty blood on the cursed tree to splatter in large flakes in all directions.
The blood corroded by the curse exuded an ominous black aura, and the purple flowers that were splashed by the blood withered immediately.
Facing the attack of the mechanical army, the Cursed Tree, which has no vocal organs, can still roar.
The roar sounded like the painful howling of millions of people at the same time, mixed with countless dense whispers. The corpse hanging on the tree branch did not seem to be dead.
Although the Cursed Tree has no eyes, it does not need eyes. Its huge body is enough to crush all enemies.
“Bang!”
Two huge branches suddenly shot out from the surface of the cursed tree, sweeping across the surroundings with a sound of breaking wind. The approaching mechanical army had just turned on their energy shields when a large number of them were directly smashed away.
The huge impact force made the ground rumble and the thick dust spread in all directions.
The mechanical army that was smashed away crawled towards the foot of the cursed tree which was made up of roots. The roots and branches were entwined and intertwined, and bloody pustules were bulging high.
The pustules covered with black spots seemed to have living things living inside, squirming constantly. The mechanical army clung to them without a care, and then exploded.
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!”
A violent explosion sounded, and the tumor that was damaged by the explosion splashed black and red blood. Pieces of flesh and blood fell and kept wriggling on the ground.
The cursed tree, whose weak point was damaged by the explosion, suddenly shook and spurted out streams All the robots that were splashed were directly corroded.
But the robots did not stop there. Instead, they exerted their last bit of energy. They rushed forward madly and exploded, blowing off piece after piece of flesh and blood.
The cursed tree roared madly again, and suddenly all of its roots simultaneously supported its bloated and huge body, making the entire body float in the air.
Then the roots of the tree loosened, and the trunk fell heavily. The huge impact force directly overturned the approaching robots. The round-headed robots were not to be outdone and exploded on the spot one after another.
In an instant, the roar was endless, and the square floor, which was originally suspended in the air, could no longer withstand the crazy destruction.
The next moment, the entire ground of the square collapsed, and the cursed tree and the mechanical army next to it all fell into the pit below.
Xia Yu, who had known that this scene would happen, did not hesitate and strode forward to the edge of the pit. He had been watching the battle from the steps at the entrance, so he was not affected at all.
Although he will not die as ash, he will feel pain, and he doesn't know whether his humanity and memory will be lost after death. But he doesn't want to know, so he tries to be as stable as possible.
The cursed tree that fell below recovered quickly, but the dense explosions eventually left it seriously injured and dying.
The corpses that were originally hanging on the branches had long since turned into large patches of bright red dye that dyed the cave red, and the swollen and broken tumors also oozed dirty cursed blood.
The cursed tree seemed to be on its last legs, but the next second a pale giant hand suddenly stretched out from its trunk. The pale color formed a sharp contrast with the dirty body, and the giant hand without a trace of blood actually revealed a hint of holiness.
But the mechanical army would not be fooled and they still launched a nearly suicidal attack.
Xia Yu, standing above, looked at the battle below and silently received another batch of mechanical armies in the group. This time the mechanical army was of a new model. According to AI Xia Yu, the model of this batch of mechanical army was self-destructive type.
This type of robot relies solely on the violent explosion of the furnace to defeat the enemy, so this batch of robots is not equipped with any weapons and only has the most basic mobility.
The next moment, a mechanical rain suddenly began to fall from the top of the cave, and the eyes of the round head painted in dangerous red flashed red, flashing faster and faster until -
"boom!!!"
A deafening explosion sounded from the cave. The surroundings of the church shook constantly, and a dazzling light shot straight into the sky from the cave entrance.
The unusual movement here spread in all directions, and even the zombies in the Undead Street in the distance couldn't help but look in this direction.
After a while, a hot breath emerged from the cave entrance, and the air was filled with a burnt and faint stench .
“Art is indeed an explosion.”
After sighing, Xia Yu looked towards the bottom of the cave. He did not receive the soul of the cursed tree, which meant that it was not dead yet.
At the bottom of the cave, although was not dead yet, it was almost dead. At this moment, the cursed tree was broken and charred all over, with not a single intact part.
The giant white hand that stretched out from the body had already turned into fragments all over the ground, revealing the soft and tender white inner core of the tree.
"Damn it, I actually thought that tree heart was edible?"
Xia Yu, who was looking at the miserable state of the cursed tree, suddenly shook his head violently. He was really crazy to have such a horrible idea.
After shaking off the horrible thoughts in his mind, Xia Yu propped himself up, then leaped forward, falling straight to the bottom of the cave.
If it was the ash from before, he would have died after falling from such a high height, but he was not an ordinary ash, he was an ash that could jump!
When he was about to reach the ground, Xia Yu released a huge mental power to support his body and land steadily, and then he walked towards the dying cursed tree.
"Curse... Sacrifice... Blood... Soul..."
The dying cursed tree seemed to sense the approach of life, and the voices that seemed to be millions of people turned into intermittent whispers.
Listening to the strange sound coming from his ears, Xia Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. This monster actually still has the strength to speak, so let him help it get rid of it.
Looking at the tender white inner cavity revealed after the cursed tree's body shattered, Xia Yu raised his right hand high, and a red-orange flame suddenly ignited from his hand, then covered his entire palm.
This is the fire of spells, the fire catalyst that the sorcerer uses when he wants to use spells. It is the fire that was taught to him by his teacher after he rescued his sorcery teacher.
The cursed monster transformed from the sacred tree should be purified by fire!
“Swish!”
Xia Yu suddenly thrust his flaming palm into the inner cavity of the cursed tree, then he grabbed a round core and pulled it out!
It was a sphere made up of the shell of some creature. It was pitch black inside, flickering with the light of the soul like starlight.
The cursed tree, whose core was taken away, trembled violently for a moment, and the intermittent whispering finally stopped. The spiritual tree corroded by the curse became history today.
Xia Yu held the core in his hand, which was also the goal of his trip, the soul smelting furnace, and looked at the body of the cursed tree thoughtfully.
The soul of the cursed tree had been absorbed into his body. It was a deformed soul that seemed to be formed by the mixture of thousands of souls, and it showed a hazy light golden color.
In the game, this soul can be exchanged for two weapons using a smelting furnace, two weapons that exist in the body of the Cursed Tree.
But in reality... Xia Yu put away the smelting furnace, ignited the fire of spell in his hands again, and fiercely stabbed it into the body of the cursed tree.
After groping for a while, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he pulled out two weapons with his hands.
The Soul-Slaying Greatsword and the Ulster Lance, one of the two cursed weapons hidden inside the tree.
Seeing his guess come true, Xia Yu excitedly put away the two weapons and began to explore the body of the cursed tree again.
For the first time, he felt that touching a corpse could be so joyful.
