Chapter 708: Arcane Statue
The Yuzhong fighters, who couldn't get up at all, could only lie on the ground, staring blankly at the murderous battle scene in front of them.
In the past, when they encountered such a large swarm, they had either fled for their lives in embarrassment, or they had already fallen into the swarm and there were no bones left.
But these terrifying generals killed all the swarms of insects that were surging like a sea, and the endless wood insect heavenly demons even had faults.
In the end, they all began to become sparse and pulled up, and they actually killed the wood worm Heavenly Demon in a large area around them!
Originally, it was just planned for the Dragonborn disciples to restrain their breath, not to absorb the origin of the plane through the effect of [meditation] during the battle, and leave some of the remains of the Wood Worm Heavenly Demon as "Chai He".
But I didn't expect that the insect tide that I thought was endless would be so unbeaten, and the dragonborn disciples died before they could enjoy it, so in this case, do you still need to collect the remains of wood insects as fuel to arrange the line of fire?
But it's right to think that although these woody creatures are numerous, they are scattered throughout the fog area.
Although the movement they created attracted all the insect swarms in the surrounding area, it would take a while for the insect swarms in too far away places to rush over, so it would naturally appear that they seemed to have been killed.
Bai Yuqi, who was speechless for a while, had no choice but to wave his hand and put away the special "firewood" that was spread all over the earth, with a radius of thousands of meters and a thickness of more than ten meters.
There are no people near the battlefield, the ground has been shaken into fluffy floating soil, one foot can sink into the thigh, the air is filled with thick dust, PM2.5 must be more than a thousand, take a breath at least half a catty of soil.
Fortunately, everyone present has a Gang Flame Protector, which can isolate the fine dust in the air, so that there is no need to worry about pneumoconiosis.
After moving a little distance, I picked a solid ground and set up camp.
Bai Yuqi sent people to dig a trench ten meters wide and five meters deep to surround the camp.
Then throw the woodworm stump into it and light it to form a wall of fire, which is used to block the scattered woodworms.
Perhaps because of their wooden bodies, these woody creatures are really naturally afraid of fire.
Obviously, with their limb density comparable to that of ironwood, ordinary flames may not be able to ignite for half an hour.
Then the line of fire formed by a trench rushed straight through, but as soon as they touched the flames, they instinctively curled up, waiting motionless to be burned to ashes.
Originally, the bloody Tai Sui with a brain beast was here, and there was no need for manpower to dig a trench at all, and a [soil removal technique] could be done by going down, and even a field camp could be built by the way.
However, the land in the fog area has long been devoured by the woodworms into a lifeless dry dead soil, and even the rocks have been turned into powder.
So much so that even the effect of earth-based spells could not affect this dead land, so he had to use primitive manpower to excavate it.
After a pest extermination battle just now, the Yuzhong combat forces who didn't even have their hands plugged in at all naturally put themselves in the role of auxiliaries, and rushed to do the work, but they didn't let the dragonborn disciples who had worked hard to dig the pit anymore.
A large number of sparse pieces of woodworm carcasses were scattered at the bottom of the trench.
Bai Yuqi flicked the golden blade into the trench, and a fire dragon fell, immediately igniting the remains of the wood worm inside.
Although it was only a shallow layer, the remains of these wood worms burned like oil when they were ignited by an unnatural flame.
The blazing fire was two or three feet high, and the strange purple flame was even more incredibly hot, burning with a whirring sound.
The wall of fire that surrounds the entire makeshift camp illuminates the gloomy space in the vast foggy area, and at the same time, it also brings a touch of warmth to the dry and cold air, which makes people's tense nerves relax.
In the hazy mist, there were sporadic strange crunching sounds from time to time, which were scattered wood worm demons calling, but under the protection of the wall of fire, no one felt the danger anymore.
To say that the remains of these wood insects that have devoured dimensional matter and transformed into their own mass are very hard and heavy and difficult to ignite, they can burn for a long time after ignition.
According to General Yu Zhong, a torch made of a worm's leg can be burned for ten days and eight nights without extinguishing.
Not only is the temperature high but the flame is also unusually bright, if it is not for the damage caused by wood insects to the environment, this is really a good burning material.
Bai Yuqi studied it for a while and found that it was no wonder that this thing was so resistant to burning.
The high temperature of the flames not only inhibited the activity of the wood worms, but also prevented them from growing roots to absorb dimensional matter and recover themselves.
Moreover, the dimensional matter that will be swallowed by it will be reduced into energy and volatilized in the form of flames.
To put it simply, it wasn't wood that was burned, but natural energy and plane origins, so wasn't the fire so powerful?
Although the more than 200 Yuzhong combat forces were replenished with fresh water, they had already exhausted their energy after being trapped in the fog area for too long, and they didn't feel it when they were fighting, so they fell directly to the ground and lost consciousness, and immediately snored like thunder.
The Dragonborn disciples didn't even care, and didn't even treat them as enemy defenses, and hurriedly took the army tent from their individual space backpack and set it up in the makeshift camp, preparing to rest here today.
Bai Yuqi sat in front of the tent that his disciples had set up for himself, holding the remains of half a wood insect about the size of a basin in his hand, turning over and over and studying.
This thing is actually a solid lump from the inside out, and I don't know why it can move in the form of an insect.
After death, it directly becomes a stiff wooden structure, and there are no organs, internal organs, bones, bodily fluids or anything like that.
These wood insects that do not have biological characteristics at all are less scientific than those constructed intelligent machines under Bai Yuqi's command, and the constructed intelligent machines are still composed of gears, parts, and transmission structures.
This situation is very similar to the knowledge system of the arcane civilization that Bai Yuqi mastered, another construct called "arcane statue" or "golem".
Unlike the scientifically constructed intelligent machines, the arcane statue is an object driven purely by arcane and magical effects, and belongs to the kind of existence that can tear off the coffin board of all old scientists.
Although there is also a structure of the arcane image, the more delicate the structure, the more the result of the manipulator in order to save mana.
A high-level spellcaster who really doesn't care about mana consumption, the mysterious statue summoned is called a completely unreasonable ...... Put a few pieces of logs together into a human shape, and after casting the spell, it can move like a human, can you believe it?
