The End of the Paleozoic Era Chapter 2217: Protection and Rescue

"I will protect you... I will save you, no matter what the cost! Even if I am dying, I will stand in front of the hail of bullets for... for the innocent! This is the duty of a hero, this is the responsibility of having powerful abilities!"

The dazzling phoenix spreads its wings and flies high in the sky.

Accompanied by the passionate words in the e-book, it flew over a large group of coal worms.

Countless solidified black balls flew everywhere, and the Phoenix in the sky made a perfect evasive move, twisting its body... flapping its wings, and all the black balls shot at it flew close to its body and landed among the Ershi people in the distance.

"I am the hope of the innocent! I am the nemesis of evil!"

When the Ershi people screamed miserably, the phoenix also rushed into the group of coal worms, cutting large pieces of coal worms with its sharp wings.

In order to prevent the coal worms from exploding after being cut off, the Phoenix quickly used its wings to swat away the broken bodies of the coal worms one by one.

Although the broken coal worms were more than six meters long, they seemed very light, so Phoenix could easily shoot them to...a very far place, such as among the Ershi people.

"Bang!" The coal worm's body burst open, and a black substance like soy sauce burst out. It sprinkled on the Ershi people. As long as a little bit of it stuck to them, the Ershi people could only watch in horror as their whole body solidified and then liquefied bit by bit.

This is an interesting attack method...

Many coagulating organisms have the ability to eliminate the anti-coagulation of other organisms, and many organisms use this as their main means of attack.

There are also things like Coal Worm, which mixes something similar to a corrosion effect with the elimination of anti-solidification attacks... This allows the opponent to slowly dissolve while being solidified.

Lin felt that some similar weapons should be made, otherwise conventional weapons would not be effective in the solidified void.

Of course, what is more interesting is this phoenix.

Its evasive ability is quite strong, and it often makes moves in advance... That is, it can observe when the coal worm is about to spit out the black ball, and it will be ready to dodge, which means it knows the coal worm very well.

Although the hero in the book kept talking about protection, it never helped the Ershi people to block the attacks of coal worms once.

Not to mention saving the Ershi people.

It doesn't care about the deaths and injuries of the Ershi people at all now, it is just... killing coal worms on its own.

While it killed many coal worms, more Ershi people were killed by the coal worms, and the Ershi people could only flee in terror.

As more and more coal worms were drilled out, the Ershi people had no choice but to run to a place where there were no coal worms, which was the factory.

However, the factory door was closed at this time, and no matter how hard Er Shimin knocked, he couldn't open it.

"Hurry up and get on board! This is our only chance!" While fighting the coal worms, Phoenix turned up the volume of his e-book to... the maximum.

"Everyone, get in, hurry up, everyone! Even if it can't fly, I will hold it up and make it take off!"

The Ershi people still believe in the Phoenix. They gather in large numbers in front of the entrances of the factory. Although the closed doors prevent them from entering, they still look at the Phoenix fighting in the distance with hopeful expressions, firmly believing that they can be saved.

"Bang!" Then, Phoenix threw a few broken coal worms over.

“Ahhhh!”

Because they were gathered together in large numbers, the Ershi people had no chance to escape before they were all...blown into a black ball by this coal worm.

Then it slowly turned into a pool of liquid on the ground.

As for the Ershi people at other entrances, their fate was similar.

When the Phoenix fights with coal worms, it always throws the coal worms it has cut off to the Ershi people.

It looked like it was just dropped by accident before, but now it seems...it seems like it was intentional.

Because the Ershi people gathered in large numbers, each piece of coal could kill a large number of them.

Those that were not thrown down were all liquefied under the attack of the coal worms.

In this way, almost all of the five thousand Ershi people were wiped out during this period of time.

When all the Ershi people were dissolved, the coal worms did not continue to attack the Phoenix, but all burrowed back into the ground... and left.

This may be the reason why the Phoenix can avoid their attacks, because... the factory's signal is only aimed at the Ershi people, and will not cause the coal worms to mistake the Phoenix for a solidified creature.

Therefore, the coal worms did not target the Phoenix for attack, and the Phoenix was able to move freely among them.

"I... I failed to protect them..." The Phoenix fell to the ground at this time, on a large amount of liquid that the Ershi people had turned into.

It flapped its wings against the ground, and the hero in the book said at the same time: "Is this what a hero needs to know? Is this what a hero needs to endure... My mentor is right, I can never save all the people. No matter how powerful I am, I will have to watch many innocent people... die in front of me."

“Wuuuuuuuuuuuu…!!!” In the e-book, the hero is crying loudly while holding a corpse in the heavy rain, which fits in well with the scene where the phoenix is ​​constantly flapping its wings on the ground in a large amount of liquid.

"You killed them all!"

At this moment, a box flew over and hit the Phoenix.

Phoenix turned around and saw a small group of Ershi people, all of them carrying boxes for transporting minerals.

Not all the Ershi people were melted, these are the survivors just now.

The reason they survive is because... they work.

Whether it was the phoenix attacking the supervisor or the coal worms crawling out, they suppressed the fear in their hearts and continued mining.

They seemed to understand... as long as they kept working, they would not be attacked by supervisors or coal worms.

This was indeed the case. All the Ershi people who dropped their work and fled for their lives were melted.

But they survived.

But they couldn't help it at this time. After the coal worms drilled into the ground, they immediately rushed over and hit the Phoenix with a box.

It is possible that they witnessed the whole thing happening while they were working.

"Are you going to fall into evil?" Phoenix turned around and turned the e-book to a page.

"We have worked together for so many years, and you chose to join the evil forces in the end. Tell me, why is that?"

"Because you deserve to die!" Several Ershi people listened to the voice in the e-book and angrily threw the box at Phoenix again.

However, Phoenix took a few steps back and dodged: "In this case, you are no longer my friend. I have been fighting for justice all my life. I will eliminate all evil, even you, old friend!"

Then the phoenix spread its wings and flew fiercely towards the group of Ershi people.

But it stopped halfway.

Ershimin looked behind the Phoenix in amazement, and saw a large group of... rats behind the Phoenix.

The group of mice bit their companions' tails one by one, and the ones in the front bit the phoenix's body.

They seemed to have formed a huge... tug-of-war team, and forcibly grabbed the Phoenix that was about to fly away.

"Ah, rats, it's these evil little creatures that live in the sewers that I hate most."
