Chapter 66: The Night Battle
The situation gradually took a turn for the worse, and even with fifty-one cultivators coming back and forth to support, these ordinary soldiers were still unable to resist the menacing swarm, and the wails rang out one after another, and the sound of gnawing kept coming from everyone's ears.
The night was so dark that even the stars were hidden, and in the bright yellow light of hundreds of torches, the insects that had lived underground for a long time tasted the flesh for the first time, and the wonderful smell made them look like mad demons. From time to time, some soldiers were in a hurry to deal with it, and they were stabbed by the stinger on the tail of the strange insect, and in just a few breaths, they lost their ability to move. In the face of the continuous influx of insects, more and more people lost their lives, and only a moment later, they turned into dry bones, and the scene was extremely tragic for a while.
In just a short confrontation, more than 500 people entered the worm belly and there were no bones left, and if this continued, I was afraid that it would not be long before this place would be overwhelmed by the insect swarm, and even cultivators would not be able to escape.
The scene became more and more chaotic, even the front could no longer be maintained, the insect swarm divided everyone, and people could only fight on their own, let alone ordinary soldiers, even after the cultivators were besieged by the insect swarm, they could only be tired of coping, and the danger was full of dangers.
At this critical juncture, the earth suddenly shook rhythmically, and a band of light suddenly lit up in the distance, and a familiar voice came: "Don't panic, Ben Shuai is here!"
At the foot of Cheng Xiaoxi, there seemed to be a mountain of insects, and more than a hundred cold rays were circling and flying around it, no matter how fierce the insect swarm was, it would not be able to enter the body, let alone cause the slightest damage to it. Hearing this familiar voice, he looked back and saw a long string of torches lit up in the night, and a large number of figures were reflected in the light of the fire.
Reinforcements from Nanjin Castle have finally arrived!
After He Fatzi left everyone, he went straight to Nanjin, and saw the ferocity of the insect swarm under the abyss, he cared about the safety of everyone, and did not stop to rest along the road. After receiving the order, the five thousand elite Wan Zewei only assembled a little and set off, hurrying all the way to Xifengling.
Wan Zewei was different from the more than 2,000 defenders of Mianfeng Town, they were well-trained and well-equipped, and they did not get tired even after a long run, and as soon as they arrived, they immediately joined the battle circle.
With the participation of 5,000 new forces, the attack of the swarm was quickly controlled, and the speed of the strange insects surging out could not even keep up with the speed of death, and the battle line quickly advanced. It was only at this time that more than a thousand exhausted soldiers of Mianfeng Town were able to retreat and go to the rear to recuperate and replenish.
After paying more than a dozen lives, Wan Zewei quickly adapted to this terrible opponent, and the situation became better and better, and he was even approaching the mouth of the abyss.
At that moment, with a low hiss, the insects all gave up their charge, and as far as the eye could see, like a dark torrent, they quickly merged into the huge hole and disappeared.
After the insect swarm returned to the ground, countless clouds of smoke rose in the abyss, and it didn't take long for a semicircular barrier to envelop this place again.
The swarm retreated into the ground, and the smoke was highly poisonous, so everyone had to clean up the corpses all over the ground and build a line again to prevent it from suddenly counterattacking.
It was only then that everyone had time to count the injuries, and among the more than 2,000 soldiers in Mianfeng Town, 609 had passed away, more than 320 were seriously injured, and more than 940 were lightly injured.
Fortunately, the strength of the insect swarm itself is not strong, so it has not caused the fall of the cultivator, which is also a blessing in misfortune!
The mayor of Mianfeng Town slowly retreated with the soldiers, and this battle will make hundreds of families miserable, and those who survived are all injured, and even there are not a few who have broken arms and legs.
All the insect corpses gathered together to form a hill several feet high, which was then melted into ashes by the flames.
After this brutal battle, the purpose of the experience was perfectly achieved, and the young cultivators experienced life and death, their eyes became brighter and firmer, and their temperament became more and more calm.
The insect swarm was raging, Shangguan Li could be said to have tried her best, and all kinds of powerful spells were used one after another, except for Cheng Xiaoxi, which was the largest number of kills she had killed, and at this time she was sweating profusely, and her clothes were also stained with patches of stains.
Cheng Xiaoxi walked slowly and squatted beside Shangguan Li, sending him a piece of spiritual power, Shangguan Li raised her head and smiled, and said, "It's okay, it's just a little out of strength." ”
Cheng Xiaoxi shook her head when she heard this, and the output of spiritual power in her hand was even increased, and her eyes looked around, but she found that Yang Yamei was leaning on a stone and gasping for breath, while her senior brother was also jumping around beside her.
Shangguan Li patted Chengxiaoxi's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look!"
Cheng Xiaoxi responded: "Okay." ”
The two of them walked one after the other, and before they got closer, they saw He Fatzi's voice coming and said, "Senior Sister Yang, are you injured?"
Yang Yamei replied in a red face and whispered, "Thank you for your concern, I am not injured." ”
At this time, He Fatzi said again: "Aren't you injured?"
Yang Yamei stopped talking with a straight face, listening to his tone, it seemed to have a trace of regret?
Seeing his junior brother and Shangguan Li coming, He Fatzi hurriedly hid his hands, and said with a smile: "You guys are also here!"
Cheng Xiaoxi nodded and responded, "Well, I saw that Sister Yang was resting here, so I came over to take a look." ”
Shangguan Li saw through He Fatzi's twisting and concealment at a glance, and wondered: "What are you doing hiding your hands?"
He Fatzi was shocked in his heart, and said casually: "No, I didn't hide anything, and I ...... Let's take a look at her first. ”
Shangguan Li glanced at He Fatzi again, then ignored him, turned her eyes, tested Yang Yamei's breath, and after a while, smiled again: "It's just exhaustion, it's not a big deal, just recover for a while." ”
Cheng Xiaoxi nodded, took out a small piece of spirit stone and handed it over, and then said, "Senior brother, go farther, don't hinder Sister Yang's luck." ”
He Fatzi thought to himself that I also wanted to send some healing pills to Senior Sister Yang, why did I become an idle person, etc., his round chin was subconsciously raised, but the rest of his eyes suddenly realized that Shangguan Li was also here, he closed his mouth, and quickly swallowed back what he wanted to say.
When He Fatzi left in a gloomy manner, Yang Yamei sat cross-legged and recovered, with Cheng Xiaoxi and Shangguan Li guarding her, she was very relieved. After all, He Fatzi's strange way of acting had already left a deep impression on her, for fear that he would make some abnormal moves on a whim, which would affect his luck and strength.
This side did not succeed, He Fatzi was not discouraged, and found an injured Wan Zewei soldier again, and in the flattered eyes of the other party, he sent out the precious pill that Wang Yue gave him......
After he left, Cheng Xiaoxi turned his head to look at Shangguan Li and said with a smile: "Actually, senior brother's nature is not bad. ”
Shangguan Li looked at the particularly conspicuous figure in the distance, and said with a bow: "I know." ”
When she said this, she chuckled and added, "But he is quite angry." ”
Thinking about the ridiculous things that Senior Brother has done over the years, Cheng Xiaoxi nodded subconsciously and muttered, "But that's the case." ”
......
In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight sprinkled into the world, and Cheng Xiaoxi stood up lightly, and the fat man on the animal skin under his feet slept well, and shouted loudly.
There was silence all around, hundreds of soldiers on duty were still motionless looking at the direction of the smoke, a few houses not far away were scattered everywhere, and the crops in many fields were also quietly ripe, emitting a burst of fragrance.
Cheng Xiaoxi shook his head, turned around and walked towards the direction of the smoke, after last night's battle, the strange insects died countless times, and even the smoke in front of him seemed a little thinner, and faintly he could even see the scenery inside through the smoke. It is said that this matter is very good, but why does Cheng Xiaoxi feel an inexplicable feeling of frightening when he looks at the smoke?
When the soldiers saw Cheng Xiaoxi coming, they nodded to him one after another, Cheng Xiaoxi kept replying, looking at these tired soldiers between his eyebrows, I don't know how many of them will stay here forever, his face sank, and he suddenly felt bored and uneasy.
"This is life, how can there be so much satisfaction. ”
Suddenly there was a voice behind him, and Cheng Xiaoxi looked back, only to find that Shangguan Li had come here at some point.
Cheng Xiaoxi didn't answer, and looked into the smoke again, the feeling that made his heart palpitate even stronger, and the waves hit his heart......
