Corrupt plant roots, like thoughtful spiritual snakes, are spread all over the land outside Lighthouse City, entwining themselves with the strange black tides that rush toward Lighthouse City.

As for those weird things in the dark tide, their initial target was indeed Lighthouse City.

But after being obstructed by the corrupted roots, the weirdos began to hesitate.

They seemed to have discovered something new, something that attracted them.

Is it the Tree of Corruption itself?

Or maybe it's something deeper...

Some of these strange black tides are still charging towards the lighthouse, but some are staying in place and starting to tear up these rotten roots, trying to find the object that attracts them.

And those weird things that go straight to the lighthouse will continue to be hindered by the corrupt roots, creating a chaotic fighting situation between the two sides.

Even those ghost species used their ancient sound energy to transform into entities and began to bite and scratch the corrupt roots in front of them.

The corrupted rhizome is alive. After being attacked, it will fight back and pierce into the strange body, absorbing the soul and nutrients inside.

Nutrients are transferred to the roots, allowing the rotten tree to continue growing.

The soul is transmitted to the crown of the rotten tree through the roots and trunks, providing energy for the soul torch.

The fight of flesh and blood is vividly reflected here.

While Zion was using artillery and energy to destroy the Black Tide army, a bloody battle was going on outside the lighthouse.

The fight lasted until early morning, when the red moon retreated.

…

In the lighthouse city.

A somewhat guilty militia leader came to Zhou Bi. His expression was submissive and he hesitated to speak.

He was also pushed here because there were some issues that needed to be negotiated with Zhou Bi.

To be honest, he wasn't very good at making this kind of negotiation, because Zhou Bi was already a master in his eyes.

Talking to the master will probably get you into trouble.

This is the life experience of veteran migrant workers.

Rather than having such a political conversation, he prefers to take the lead on the construction site and have a full meal. A few meat meals a month would be the best.

"Congressman Zhoubi..."

Zhou Bi glanced at the old migrant worker and saw that the Kuroshio had not come and the whole lighthouse was strange, so he was troubled.

"What are you doing? Tell me if you have anything to say."

"A few brothers asked me to come over and ask you something..." The old migrant worker stopped again.

Zhou Bi was a little impatient.

"Can you finish what you have to say at once? Why are you hesitating here? Are you bothered?"

"No, boss, I'm just here to ask, if nothing weird happened last night, will the salary be paid?"

Hearing the somewhat humble words of the old migrant worker, Zhou Bi felt a little uncomfortable.

He has said similar words before.

After all, he grew up in the lower city when he was a child, and it was the worst area, the lawless zone.

The demands of these people in the lower city are really very low. They just want to get what they deserve.

But even for such a simple request, you have to be obedient and say it to yourself carefully.

When did I become as arrogant as those uptown gentlemen?

"I'm sorry, fellow, I just spoke harshly. Now go back and tell your brothers that the money will be paid as much as it should be, and there won't be a penny less.

Let the villagers stand guard, and from now on, you will all be citizens of the lighthouse."

"Well, on behalf of everyone, I would like to thank Councilor Zhou Bi!"

Seeing the simple smile of the old migrant worker, Zhou Bi also smiled.

"Thank you for what? It's me who should thank you."

The sky has become bright and the red moon in the sky has completely dissipated.

Zhou Bi found Jin Mingzhu, who was in charge of the military force:

"Now that the black tide has dissipated, I want to take a look outside to see what happened this time."

"Well, I have the same idea. I always feel that this black tide is not that simple."

As for going out to explore, Jin Mingzhu made a suggestion last night.

But what Zhou Bi meant at that time was to wait for the Kuroshio to pass.

Now that the sky is bright, it is indeed the time to go out and explore. It is time to go out and see.

"Okay, I will immediately order the elite night watchmen to follow us out. Do you want to go too?"

"Yes, but we still have to keep a part of the armed forces. The people of Lighthouse are currently unsettled. Even if we survive this dark tide, we still have to hold on to the most basic security forces.

For those who remain, you should find some reliable people."

"I know that the people who stay here must be my confidants."

Jin Mingzhu was making various preparations. About 30 minutes later, a team had already assembled outside the city.

They took a new type of chariot provided by Zion. When they arrived about 2 kilometers outside the city, Jin Mingzhu felt an ominous atmosphere.

“Tasty.”

"Taste?" Zhou Bi didn't understand.

"Congressman Zhou Bi, what Lord Jin Mingzhu means is that there is a very strong smell of blood in the air." A night watchman replied.

As armed forces, they are very sensitive to the smell of blood.

Especially the weird blood energy. As night watchmen, they can detect it from a long distance. After all, there are warlocks and warriors in the night watch team.

"Is it the weird smell of blood?"

"There should be a battle happening further away. Judging from the scale and the current environment, it should be a huge battle."

Jin Mingzhu looked solemn. Lighthouse was very weak now. Could someone be helping them?

Seeing Zhou Bi didn't speak, Jin Mingzhu asked.

"Xu Le promised to help us before. Is it possible that he will help us this time?"

"Xu Le? That guy hasn't come yet. He's unreliable. He's unreliable."

Although the relationship between Zhou Bi and Xu Le is quite good, Xu Le's absence from such a life-and-death matter was enough for Zhou Bi to give Xu Le a bad review.

However, in today's lighthouse, it is normal for Xu Le not to come, but it is a very strange situation for him to come.

"Let's go, we should be able to see the specific situation when we get to the front."

"good."

The car unknowingly sped up a bit.

Even the night watchmen became curious about the situation outside.

As the car advanced, Jin Mingzhu's pupils, which had the strongest eyesight, suddenly shrank.

"Front."

"What?"

Not far from the team, a huge corpse was lying on the ground. Its skin was shriveled, and there was a large gaping hole at the top of its head, as if it had been pierced by something sharp.

Although the body had become mummified and decayed, there were still some blood stains on the ground.

And there was still fresh blood.

This means that the battle was not that long ago at all, and it might even have happened just now.

"Is this...the giant's body?"

"I know."

As members of Congress, Jin Mingzhu and Zhou Bi have certainly seen giants. Even if they have not seen them with their own eyes, they have seen photos.

This is a terrible impact-type Kuroshio. The last Kuroshio caused huge losses to the lighthouse.

Many areas in Xiacheng District have suffered this weird impact.

Their hard skin and strong vitality allow the giants to attack the city unscrupulously.

Only cities like Zion equipped with super-powerful energy weapons may be able to truly resist and eliminate the threat of giants.

"How did it die?"

"Who knows? Let's go and take a look."

Zhou Bi took courage and gradually approached the giant's body. As they got closer, the entire night watch team realized that something was wrong.
