Chapter 386
Since the first strange incident in Longguo two and a half years ago, strange incidents have emerged in various parts of Longguo.
Among them, the frequency of strange incidents in the southwest region is the highest, and the intensity of the strange incidents here is much higher than other regions.
As for why this situation occurs, the Abnormal Investigation Bureau concluded that this is a region where multiple ethnic groups are integrated. Each ethnic group has its own folk customs and folklore, and each ethnic group has its own set of mythological systems. To this day, some ethnic groups still retain the primitive worship of nature.
There are mountain gods in the mountains, water gods and dragon gods in rivers and lakes, and even an ancient tree has a tree god.
Countless myths and folk stories have been accumulated over thousands of years. In addition, this place is close to foreign countries and has absorbed some foreign cultures. Even a stone on the roadside may have its own legend.
Because of this, the Abnormal Investigation Bureau had to focus most of its attention on the southwest.
But even so, it is still somewhat inadequate. For this reason, Longguo has specially established a special force dedicated to suppressing the weirdness in the southwest, and the unit code name is Tianjian.
As a special force of Longguo that specializes in dealing with large-scale strange events, Tianjian's combat capability against strange events is unquestionable. There are countless S-level strange events that have died under the hands of Tianjian troops. Even the few king-level strange events active in the southwest region have been honest under their suppression in the past two years.
However, at this moment, the third battalion of the Tianjian troops responsible for guarding western Yunnan was in a gloomy situation.
In the temporary tent, more than a dozen men and women in black military uniforms said nothing, and everyone's eyes were focused on a corpse in front of them.
The owner of the corpse looked at most in his twenties, with a small golden sword on his shoulder strap, which also meant that he was at least a senior officer in the Tianjian troops, and his strength was at least S-level. However, such a strong man turned into a cold corpse at this moment.
I don't know how long it took, but a tall officer standing in the crowd suddenly broke out and punched the table in front of him.
"Damn it! I'm going to fight those bastards!"
He was about to turn around and leave the tent, but at this moment a thin man with two golden swords on his shoulders flashed in front of him.
The man's name was Chu Tiannan, the deputy captain of the third brigade of the Tianjian Army, and the highest-ranking person in the tent.
After stopping the tall officer, he immediately said coldly:
"Don't go! If you dare to go, I will dismiss you now and let you go back to the imperial capital!"
As soon as these words came out, the tall officer immediately turned his head and looked at him with red eyes, and his fists clenched and creaked.
"Why don't you let me go! Xiaolei is my brother, my life-long brother. He was drinking with me at this time yesterday, but now he is lying here for no reason!"
"I will never be at peace in my life if I don't find the bastard who killed him!"
The tall officer's words quickly resonated with the others present. As a comrade-in-arms of the army, they have been stationed here for two years. It is not an exaggeration to say that they live and die together. Now that their comrade-in-arms has died, how can they not feel uncomfortable in their hearts?
However, Chu Tiannan's attitude remained firm.
"From now on, no one is allowed to step out of the gate of the station. This is an order!"
"I know you hate those guys inside, but their purpose is to lure us into that jungle and defeat them one by one."
"As long as we don't fall for it, they can't do anything to us, and the evil tree inside has swallowed up the entire Da Cang City, and its strength must have been improved again..."
Before he finished speaking, a figure rushed in from outside the tent.
"Captain, it's bad, the forest is expanding outward again!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the tent changed their expressions, and Chu Tiannan walked up to the man immediately.
"Tu Gang, what did you say? Didn't the forest expand outward by 10 kilometers?"
Yes, the one who appeared in front of Chu Tiannan at this moment was Tu Gang, who was transferred from the Jinghai Branch of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau not long ago.
After coming here, he became an investigator under Chu Tiannan.
"We don't know why, just a minute ago, countless branches suddenly grew out of the periphery of the forest, and now it is less than one kilometer away from our base."
As soon as Tu Gang finished speaking, Chu Tiannan's figure disappeared, and the others in the tent hurriedly followed him out.
The moment they walked out of the tent, they were instantly stunned by the situation in front of them.
Following their gaze, they sawJust one kilometer ahead of them, a vast jungle that stretched as far as the eye could see was quietly crawling there, like a terrifying beast in the dark night.
What made everyone even more uneasy was that the forest seemed to be alive at this moment, constantly moving forward, swallowing everything it passed by and transforming it into nutrients needed for its own growth.
A large freight truck parked on the side of the road happened to be in its path. It was covered by dense vines and shrubs at a glance, and was finally corroded by the strong acid secreted by the roots of these plants.
Not long after, a towering tree grew where the truck had originally been.
Such a situation was happening almost every moment.
If you continue to look into the depths of the forest, you will find that there is an even more terrifying existence there, a thousand-meter-high giant tree that towers into the sky. The trunk of the giant tree is like a coiled dragon, and there is a bulge on the thick trunk that looks like a dragon head.
This thousand-meter-high giant tree is the origin of this terrifying forest - the king-level weird tree dragon king, which originated from the creation tree in the mythology of a certain ethnic group in the southwest.
"What exactly does the tree dragon king want to do!"
Looking at the terrifying forest that is constantly approaching his own base, Chu Tiannan raised his sword eyebrows, and the anger in his heart was almost uncontrollable.
"It must have devoured too many people, so it has been infected by the evil thoughts of these people, and now it has completely become an evil tree with only the desire to devour."
"Yes, just like a beast that has tasted human flesh, it can no longer be suppressed now."
"Since it can't be suppressed, then kill it!" Chu Tiannan said sternly.
"Pass my order, all combat units are ready, from now on, it can't be allowed to expand any further!"
With Chu Tiannan's order, the base of the Third Battalion instantly became lively, and thousands of combatants wearing special combat uniforms of the Tianjian Force walked out of the tent.
Some of them are ghost fighters, and some are modified humans with monster or mechanical characteristics. The weakest ones are B+. With the combat uniforms on their bodies, each of them can exert A-level combat power.
Among them, A-level ones account for the vast majority, and even S-level ones can be seen.
In addition, a large number of ordinary soldiers driving individual tracked mechas came out of their barracks. Even ordinary soldiers have undergone special modifications and have combat capabilities far beyond ordinary special forces.
Then there are infantry fighting vehicles loaded with special technology and armed helicopters hovering in the air.
At the same time as the Tianjian troops responded, a series of alternative figures appeared in the terrifying jungle controlled by the Tree Dragon King. Some of these figures have human appearances, while others look like animals. They all have ferocious expressions and cruel eyes.
Whether they are humans or animals, in the eyes of the Tianjian troops, they all have the same name - tree ghosts.
The number of tree ghosts is several times more than all the people in the Tianjian Army combined.
When they came out of the jungle, the distance between the two sides was only a few hundred meters, and a war could break out at any time.
At the same time, in the sky about 100 kilometers away from them, an air fleet consisting of 5 huge ships was also approaching them.
It was the people of the Holy Church who hurried over from the northwest.
When Lin Ye, standing on the bow of the Apocalypse, saw the strange-looking towering tree in front of him, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"What a big tree, this shape is suitable for a cat climbing frame!"
