Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 278 Hellfire, Pink Bomb Gun!
"It's actually a Thorn Mother of Goddess..."

On the city wall, Wei Yang looked at the ever-spreading demonic spirit and couldn't help but give Fang Ran a deep look.

Fang Ran, equally worried, calmly said, "I have been guarding this place for twenty years and have never encountered the Thorn Mother. This can be considered as fate, allowing the two of us to make a contribution."

"~~~"

Wei Yang said with an indifferent expression, "Old Fang, slow down, let's go!"

The next moment, the two sped away, turning into two afterimages and heading straight for the core area of ​​the Thorn Mother!

Suddenly, a series of "thump thump thump" sounds came from afar, like some kind of rhythm from the deep sea. It was Thorn Mother's skill "Mental Storm". When the storm suddenly rose, it stirred up countless snow dust. Then, the sound of the two dragon generals launching their attack came. Even a mountain in the distance was directly shattered!

Two minutes later, the sound stopped.

"Did we win?" He gritted his teeth and stared into the distance, telling a story.

"No."

I shook my head, my heart pounding. I saw that the Mother of Thorns had begun to spread again. Its entire area had reached a radius of about two kilometers, just like a giant blood-red purslane. Countless roots and veins stretched along the ground in all directions, advancing towards the Great Wall at an extremely fast speed!

"Fire!"

Xie Zhuoyun roared, and immediately missiles, rapid-fire cannons, close-in weapon systems, and Tenglong giant cannons on the city wall began to fire northward. Explosions of fire and countless shockwaves rose and fell, and even we on the city wall were shaken so badly that we could hardly stand.

"stop……"

Suddenly, a female dragon guard wearing third-generation armor raised her hand, her beautiful eyes looking into the distance, and said in a trembling voice, "Lord Wei Yang and Lord Fang Ran... they have been captured by the Thorn Mother!"

"What!?"

Everyone was shocked.

I hurriedly raised the Conqueror and aimed it at the core of the Thorn Mother. Sure enough, in the place where the blood-red veins were most dense, there were two figures imprisoned there. They were Wei Yang and Fang Ran. Their bodies were covered with blood-red cocoons and they seemed to have lost consciousness. They were hanging on the Thorn Mother and had become the captives of this demon spirit.

Extremely scary!
Even the Dragon General was captured; that's a combat power comparable to a Major General!
"Keep fighting!"

The next second, without thinking twice, I fired the Conqueror at the Thorn Mother's veins, but all I saw was a "crackling" sound as the bullets passed by. The Thorn Mother's blood-red veins were incredibly thick, and the bullets couldn't penetrate them at all, only leaving shallow marks. The damage caused was indescribable.

"277!"

"301!"

"624!"

"668!"

"704!"

……

How embarrassing! This damage is negligible!
Beside them, Cai Cai and Fatty's faces were also pale.

"Ding Han".

The fat man took a deep breath, his eyes filled with worry: "I have a feeling that we brothers might be going to die here today?"

"Don't give up, keep going!"

I took out my RPG and fired it at the intersection of the Thorn Mother's veins. At that intersection, there was a small fleshy growth the size of a basketball, with two antenna-like growths on it.

Two rockets were fired in quick succession, but unfortunately, they only caused 1000+ damage when they exploded. That tumor was not the Thorn Mother's weak point; on the contrary, it had very high armor!
"Brothers, it's time to defend the honor of the Great Wall Watchers!"

Xie Zhuoyun raised his power sword, his gaze resolute: "Even if we die at the feet of the Thorn Mother, we will never yield. Kill them!"

Instantly, at least a hundred dragon guards from the city wall took to the air and charged toward the Thorn Mother that was spreading from the north!
Just then, the Thorn Mother's veins had spread to the foot of the Great Wall, constantly climbing up the wall. The players were powerless to do anything and couldn't deal any damage. Even if everyone focused their fire on her, the Thorn Mother wouldn't feel much pain. On the contrary, the pink BOSS's health regeneration speed was terrifying. The little damage they had just dealt was instantly restored to full health.

"Boom~~~"

At that moment, about 40 meters away from us, on the meridian node of the Thorn Mother, a blood-red tumor resembling a dragon fruit suddenly trembled. Instantly, a mental energy storm rushed out in all directions, and terrifying damage numbers soared into the air!

"23773!"

"19844!"

"29823!"

"28664!"

"30012!"

……

In an instant, the health bars of players within a 30-meter radius of the neural node plummeted!
Among them, the firepower user loses the most health, followed by the super warrior!
What's even more deadly is that the Thorn Mother's enormous body doesn't just have one nerve node. On the contrary, there's one or even multiple nerve nodes every few tens of meters. These tumors constantly release mental storms, launching indiscriminate attacks on all life on the battlefield!
"Oh shit……"

He stared in disbelief, utterly dumbfounded, his face filled with despair.

"Ding Han, we..."

Not far away, Qianli Qingqiu also looked helpless.

I immediately opened the star map, consuming 1% of my current level's experience points, and shouted, "Anyone without the Resurrection Scripture, rush into the teleportation array and leave immediately! Anyone with the Resurrection Scripture, teleport away immediately after death! Don't throw your lives away in vain!"

The next second, as the blood-red veins spread rapidly, the steel battlements in front of us were quickly stained red. Then, the veins intersected and grew, and with a "pop," like a flower blooming, a tumor quickly grew out in front of us!
"Go to hell..."

Huo Bingzhi was shocked and immediately cursed.

"Gather around!"

I shouted loudly and immediately activated Absolute Space!
Instantly, the eight members of the team entered an invincible state. In the blink of an eye, the tumor suddenly "convulsed," and a mental storm burst forth. The health bars of many players who had been fighting alongside us dropped rapidly!
"Kill it!"

With my power sword in hand, I swiftly brought it down, severing the blood-red veins on both sides of the tumor with two sharp "crack" sounds. Then, I unleashed an Ash Sweep, smashing the tumor open. The blood-red fluid flowing out looked... just like blood!
However, less than two seconds after I killed the tumor, the surrounding blood-red veins rapidly spread and closed again. Two meters away from the previous tumor, a vein node trembled with a "buzzing" sound, followed by a sound similar to opening a beer bottle, and a new tumor grew out!

"Fuck!!!"

The fat man shouted, his face turning ashen.

"It's over!"

I quickly took a step forward and slashed, and with a swift movement, I cut off the tumor in an instant!

Two seconds later, with two loud "bangs" on the city walls on both sides, another fleshy growth appeared on each wall!

"Damn it..."

A group of players from the Ember Domain guild were dumbfounded and could only utter a curse.

I cried out in despair and rushed forward, slashing one of the tumors with my sword, but the other tumor trembled, and a mental storm sent more than ten players away!

Fortunately, these people all possessed the Resurrection Scripture, which allowed them to be directly teleported back to Huaining City.

"Boss, over there!"

Huo Bingzhi pointed into the distance and unleashed a Dark Curse and Dark Devour, but it was useless. The tumor's armor was too strong, and its mental power was terrifying. Bingzi couldn't break through it at all!

"Pong!"

Another mental energy storm instantly reduced several members of the team to near-death!

"Save your own life!"

I could no longer care about my teammates. Running around like this, hacking away at the fleshy tumors, would only exhaust me to death without changing the final outcome. So, I grabbed my power sword and charged out of the city. The moment my Annihilation Armor and Stardust Wall activated, I jumped off the city wall and said in a deep voice, "Once you've used up your Resurrection Scriptures, go back to Huaining City. Don't come here to die!"

"Ding Han!"

Zhang Ruolin asked, "Where are you going?"

"Treating the root cause is worse than treating the symptoms!"

With the wind whistling in my ears, I slammed my feet onto the snow and said in the team chat, “The Thorn Mother’s AOE and expansion are so powerful. If I just try to cut through her veins, I’ll just be exhausted to death. It’s better to treat the root cause than the symptoms. I’ll go and deal with her main body. At most, I’ll use up a Resurrection Scripture. It’s not a big deal!”

"it is good!"

I can no longer control the situation on the city walls.

He swiftly moved forward with his power sword, and with three "thuds," he cleaved a budding tumor into pieces. However, two tumors on his left and right sides unleashed a mental storm, causing him to experience a sharp pain in his head, similar to the pain of a fever. His Stardust Wall was breached, and he lost over 1 health points.

Ahead, several third-generation armored warriors lay sprawled on the ground. Their power swords were still emitting light, but their owners were already lifeless. Under the mental attack, the armor of these power-armored warriors was practically useless!
"Ding Han..."

At that moment, someone shouted from the city wall.

When I turned around, I saw Xie Zhuoyun lying in a pool of blood. His body was wrapped in bloody veins, his hood was shattered, and he looked over with a mouth full of blood, saying, "Be careful..."

I nodded emphatically, without any further hesitation. Facing the wind and snow, I relied on the life-stealing effect of severing the tumors to maintain my health, and step by step I walked towards the core of the Thorn Mother!

At that moment, I had no other thoughts in my mind, only one idea...

I'm the only one in the Chinese server who owns a Power Sword, so I have to do something with it!
……

Deep within the snowstorm, the fleshy growths sensed the human presence and unleashed a storm of spiritual energy. I swiftly charged forward, using the shield effect of my stepping slash to minimize damage while my sword relentlessly severed veins and drained my life force. The power sword ignored armor, dealing over ten thousand damage with each strike. Combined with skill damage, and with my current 30% life-steal efficiency, a simple combo of a basic attack + skill + basic attack could easily restore tens of thousands of health. With the added supplies from the medkit, I actually managed to withstand the attack!

Behind me, the Great Wall was deathly silent.

In the team chat, the avatars of CaiCai, PangZi, KouMei, and others dimmed one after another, indicating they had all respawned and returned to the city. Only RuoLin remained, fighting alone. But just a few seconds later, RuoLin's avatar also dimmed, and she left the Great Wall Watch map.

In the wind and snow, I looked up and saw that the blood-red veins were intertwined, like a head that kept spewing out blood-red snake tentacles. It was a woman's face, and the true form of the Thorn Mother had finally appeared!
……

"You ignorant ant!"

The Mother of Thorns' face was twisted and ferocious, and she said in a venomous voice that seemed to come from purgatory: "You think you can defeat me like this? Keep dreaming!"

"Damn it!" I moved quickly, and at the same time, I spread my five fingers with my left hand and pulled it sharply into the air, directly activating the Mayan Thunder Array. Instantly, a huge thunder array descended and began to bombard the core area of ​​the Thorn Mother!
"Shh!"

As he shifted his body to the side, his left hand was not idle at all; he threw out an energy blade!
With a "snap," Thunder Blade embarrassed itself, only stunning the opponent for 0.5 seconds. But I still took advantage of this rare moment to get close instantly, raised my power sword and unleashed a combo of normal attack + rising dragon slash + normal attack + blood drain attack + normal attack. I flipped my body and brought out all the secrets of a max-level sword master!

In an instant, the power sword flashed with light, continuously severing the dense crimson veins in front of it. Its purpose was singular: to save Fang Ran and Wei Yang, who were not far away. Without the help of these two dragon generals, I would never have been able to take down the Thorn Mother's massive 2000 million HP bar!

"You despicable, filthy dog!"

The Thorn Mother sneered, "I saw through your treacherous scheme long ago! Rest assured, I'll take the life essence of these two dragon generals. The moment I drain them dry, they will become a part of me!"

Surprisingly, this pink boss is quite talkative!

I whirled around and cleaved her forehead with a chilling sword strike, using a combination of basic attacks, combos, basic attacks, ash sweeps, and basic attacks to swiftly sever her meridians while sarcastically saying, "Look at you, look at you, you've barely said a few words and you're already getting impatient and barking like a dog?"

Clearly, she's good at gossiping, but her sense of humor is terrible; she's far inferior to me.

"Bastard!"

The Mother of Thorns roared, her enormous head, nearly three meters in radius, trembled violently. Instantly, more than a dozen fleshy tumors in all directions trembled at the same time, about to unleash a mental storm. Such a dense attack would definitely be devastating!
"grass!"

I gritted my teeth, risking being knocked out of the Resurrection Scripture, and swung my sword wildly at her massive head!
"You little thing, how ridiculous!"

Just as the Thorn Mother was mockingly about to unleash her mental storm, a powerful current of energy surged into the power sword along her arm. The next moment, as the power sword pierced into her flesh, the Thorn Mother's entire head was instantly petrified. Moreover, not only that, but the network of flesh that stretched for several kilometers was also petrified!

If viewed from the air at this moment, Our Lady of Thorns would look like a giant, gray spider web covering an entire section of the Great Wall.

"Holy crap, that's awesome..."

I was deeply moved. Who said a 3% chance wouldn't work? This Gargoyle Ring proved its worth in no time! Five seconds of petrification is enough for me to get a lot done!

He swiftly swung his sword wildly, severing an entire petrified vein connecting Fang Ran and Wei Yang, the two giant cocoons. He even activated his Power Sword Storm, but it was still far from enough. There were too many veins for one person to cut through!

"You little piece of trash, you're about to die..."

The Thorn Mother regained her freedom, still wearing a mocking expression. The next moment, more than a dozen tumors simultaneously released a mental storm, instantly confusing me and killing me!

"Shua~~~"

Golden light surrounded him, and the Resurrection Codex was triggered!

No doubt about it, he's resurrected on the spot!

The moment he was resurrected, his health and mana were fully restored, and all his skills were reset to normal!

He thrust his sword into the Thorn Mother's nostril, followed by a combo of normal attack + rising dragon slash + normal attack. This time, the rising dragon slash was quite effective, actually sending the Thorn Mother's large head flying into the air!
"Pong!"

He turned and charged into the dense network of veins, continuing to slash wildly with his sword!
However, the surrounding tumors began to wriggle and tremble again, and another burst of mental energy erupted!

"Shh-"

Invincible, absolute space!
This time, the timing was perfect. Stepping on the line, I entered invincibility 0.2 seconds early, and then continued to swing my sword wildly, using up all my skills such as Combo Slash, Ash Sweep, and Blood Drain Frenzy.

"Crack!"

As the power sword swept across, severing the last blood vine connecting to the Thorn Mother, the blood vines on Wei Yang and Fang Ran left the area and quickly turned to ashes. However, the two lay motionless on the ground, having lost consciousness!
"Old Wei! Old Fang!"

I went up to them and slapped them a few times, but it didn't wake them up at all!
Behind her, the Mother of Thorns sneered, and countless crimson veins surged from all directions.

It's over. It seems there's really no way to turn the tide.

"Fuck you!"

Anyway, I knew I had to use the second Resurrection Scripture, so I didn't think too much about it. I turned around and charged straight at the face of the Thorn Mother with a burst of energy. I swung my power sword and unleashed a power sword storm. Instantly, a bunch of bloody tentacles were being strangled and fell off. And at that moment, a thick aura surged into my palm again!
Again!
Petrification attack!

In an instant, one of the Thorn Mother's enormous heads turned to stone.

"Good job!"

Just then, the figure of a fourth-generation armored warrior appeared behind him. He was hovering in mid-air with his jump pack, and his power gun suddenly ignited with a "whoosh". Then, his body turned into a blur and the power gun slashed fiercely at the head of the Thorn Mother!

"Click~~~"

A crisp sound rang out, and half of the Thorn Mother's face was cleaved in two by a single spear thrust!
"Old Wei, Old Fang!"

The dragon general wielding the power gun, named Mo Bai, was a new character. He turned around and shouted at the two dragon generals lying on the ground, "Wake up! You need to wake up!"

The sound contained primordial energy, which transformed into a shockwave that rippled outwards.

Suddenly, Wei Yang and Fang Ran, who were fast asleep, were jolted awake and shuddered.

"That damned Mother of Thorns!"

Wei Yang, enraged and embarrassed, raised his power gun, leaped up, and slashed down fiercely!
Fang Ran also joined the battle, wielding his power sword.

With the three dragon generals joining forces, they should be able to defeat the Thorn Mother this time. After all, when her main body was torn apart by the power sword storm with countless blood-red tentacles, she had already lost nearly 20% of her health!
Come again!

I suddenly raised my hand and pulled down a Mayan lightning array, striking the Thorn Mother's body directly. Then, carrying my power sword, I walked back without looking back, no longer participating in the battle.

……

Running at breakneck speed, constantly severing his meridians to replenish his blood, he finally arrived at the foot of the city wall, where he saw Xie Zhuoyun, who was entangled by dozens of blood vines and on the verge of death. He had also been chosen by the Thorn Mother as nourishment for "life essence." He didn't know what the criteria for this selection were, but it was probably because they were both pure men.

Behind them, a loud bang came, and the Thorn Mother's true form was destroyed by the three dragon generals working together!

Immediately afterwards, the system ringtone sounded in my ear—

[Congratulations! You have successfully assisted in the kill of the "Thorn Mother" (pink BOSS) and have obtained the item: "BOSS Ability Crystal" x1!]

[Battle Notification: You have successfully assisted in the defeat of the "Thorn Mother" (pink boss), gaining 14000000 character experience points and extracting 7000000 experience points from the Elemental Furnace!]

……

It was another assist kill, but this time the damage contribution was higher, so the reward will definitely be more generous.

Put this aside for now, save lives!
"Thank you!"

I swung my sword and cut down a bunch of blood vines, then forcefully pulled out a sticky blood vine stuck in Xie Zhuoyun's mouth, saying, "Old Xie, wake up!"

"..."

Xie Zhuoyun slowly woke up, but her injuries were too severe. She said, "Ding Han, help me..."

"Tell me how you want to help."

"Inside the hood... there's a power armor medical system, a green button, please press it for me..."

"it is good!"

I turned around and looked at the row of buttons on his neck. Sure enough, there was a green one, so I reached out and pressed it. The next moment, I saw Xie Zhuoyun's back suddenly straighten. The life-saving drug inside the power armor had been injected. I wasn't sure what kind of drug it was, but it was probably something like adrenaline.

He's not a player, so he can't use a medkit; otherwise, it would be much simpler if he just had one.

Haha~~ Hahahaha~~~

Xie Zhuoyun spat out a mouthful of blood and laughed, "You brat... the Thorn Saintess has been killed?"

"how is this possible?"

I grinned and said, "I don't have that much ability. I only helped with a little bit."

"Hahaha... He's not dead, that's great~~"

Xie Zhuoyun laughed heartily, then suddenly froze, realizing that almost all the Dragon Guards who had fought their way out of the city with him had been wiped out. His face fell with grief, and he staggered to his feet, walking towards the fallen Third-Generation Armored soldiers, muttering, "Old Zhao... Old Qian... Old Sun... Old Li... Old Zhou... you all..."

I sighed, unable to deeply empathize, since the players' side barely lost anyone; everyone retreated in time.

"Ding Han, how is he?"

Zhang Ruolin said, "I heard there was a loud bang coming from the Phase 16 teleportation array. Did they kill the Thorn Mother?"

"Yeah, it's done."

I nodded: "The area around portal number 16 is safe at the moment. You can come and take a look."

"it is good!"

……

Soon after, players emerged from the phase teleportation portal, while I, covered in blood, climbed up the city wall via the ropeway, panting heavily, and plopped down on the snow.

Subsequently, three figures helped Xie Zhuoyun back to the Great Wall, and the three dragon generals also returned.

"Ding Han!"

Wei Yang looked at me intently: "You saved my life again, so I'll let bygones be bygones for the slap..."

"Cough cough!"

Fang Ran said, "I'll just pretend those things never happened."

Zhang Ruolin looked surprised and shocked by the fact that she slapped Long Jiang.

At this moment, more than a dozen transport planes returned from the north, covering the sky. Soon, figures emerged from the transport planes, including two white-haired dragon generals, three dragon commanders covered in blood, and dozens of dragon generals. Below the cabin, there were countless heads of demon spirits, some golden, some pink, and some cyan, densely packed together!
All the players were shocked!
While we were desperately defending the Great Wall, the main force of these Great Wall guards actually went north, stormed the lair, and killed so many high-level demon spirits!
However, the Great Wall Watch also suffered heavy losses. It is said that of the ten Dragon Generals, only three remain. On their faces, there is no joy of victory, only sadness for the sacrifice of their comrades.

Just then, a bell rang, signaling the end of this protracted northern campaign—

[Congratulations! The great battle is over, and the Great Wall Watchers have emerged victorious! You have achieved the top ranking on the leaderboard in the Super Version Mission "Battle for Survival" (SSS level), earning the following rewards: 60 million character experience, 12000 reputation points, and 4 charm points, plus an additional reward: "Hellfire-66" (Quality: Pink)!]
