Chapter 65: Fighting the Fire
Because the situation in the smoke was unbelievable, and they didn't know if the strange insect would crawl out and hurt people, everyone sent people to Mianfeng Town to seek support after discussion.
Two hours later, an army of more than 2,000 people, led by the mayor of Mianfeng Town, came here in a mighty way. After listening to everyone's descriptions, the mayor realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately ordered a defensive line to be built to seal off the smoke.
Looking at this weak line of defense, everyone was a little worried, after all, the strange insect was endless, and if it really came out, it would be impossible to defend it by relying on these people.
As soon as everyone summed up, they set their eyes on He Fatzi, and now he is the only one who is most suitable for doing this, after all, everyone else has cultivation, and they have to stay here.
Looking at He Fatzi's unknown appearance, Cheng Xiaoxi said softly: "Senior brother, you can go back so that you can bring Wan Zewei over." ”
As soon as He Fatzi heard this, he was not happy, and complained: "More than fifty people, just let me go, can't you change someone else?"
Cheng Xiaoxi was just about to speak, when Shangguan Li dragged "Qing Jue" over with a cold face, and everyone had a gloating expression, and they all understood what was going to happen next.
Before the danger came, He Fatzi smeared oil on the soles of his feet, trotted, and climbed onto the horseback in a hurry, watching Shangguan Li stop, he had time to distinguish: "Just kidding, why take it so seriously, I'm the best at moving rescuers." ”
As he spoke, he grabbed the horse's belly and ran away in a blink of an eye......
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but smile, if one thing really descends one thing, the future realm lord of Wanze Realm will also have people who are afraid.
The small episode diluted the tension, and everyone continued to meditate and recover.
As the sun fell, the sky was covered with a layer of fiery red clouds, the light became dimmer and dimmer, but the expressions of the more than 2,000 people became more serious. In order to prevent the strange insects from coming out at night to wreak havoc, a wide trench was dug around the smoke, and it was filled with fire oil, and the night was approaching, and no one knew whether the strange insects under the abyss would come out, and doing this was just a precaution!
Tonight was destined to be sleepless, and more than 2,000 soldiers were divided into two teams to rest alternately, and the tense atmosphere was added to a layer of solemnity.
As the last rays of sunlight retracted, the sun sunset beneath the endless sea, and a bright moon took its place, spreading the clear light again to the earth.
As night fell, the thick black smoke spread wildly, and after only a while, it encroached on two feet of land outward, and Cheng Xiaoxi looked like a whole person, and danger was coming.
A burst of "gurgling" sounded, the abyss seemed to be boiling, and after the smoke spread outward for two zhang, it suddenly contracted violently inward, and in the light of the moon, a crater of hundreds of zhang in size appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Suddenly, a series of "rustling" sounds came from under the abyss, and as soon as they sounded, they became one and did not stop.
Under the moonlight, the first strange insect crawled up, poked its head out, and kept pointing back and forth, as if looking at everything in the outside world. Before long, more strange insects followed, pushing and squeezing to the ground, densely clustered together, spreading along the edge of the abyss.
Since the collapse of Xifengling, the surrounding residents have quickly evacuated, and no one has been here since, because the smoke itself contains toxins, so the spies in Mianfeng Town only observe from a distance, and do not dare to approach easily. At present, the soldiers of Mianfeng Town saw things under the abyss for the first time, and they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat one by one, and held their weapons tighter.
In any case, as soldiers, how can they retreat half a step before receiving orders, even in the face of a powerful enemy, they can only muster up the courage to face it, this is their honor and dignity!
Half a moment later, the strange insects gathered more and more, and the abyss was still crawling out, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn, and more than 2,000 soldiers were holding bows and arrows, closely watching their movements.
"Put!"
With a loud shout from the mayor, more than 2,000 sharp arrows wrapped in oilcloth ignited at the same time, and the soldiers pulled their bows to the full, and with the greatest strength in their lives, they shot straight at those ugly insects.
"Puff ......"
The rocket shot into the insect swarm at a rapid speed, and after a violent impact, the pine resin wrapped in the tarpaulin splattered in all directions, turning into a hot viscous liquid, sticking to the body of the strange insect, constantly burning, and a mushy smell wafted out.
The insect swarm began to roll instinctively, as the second round of arrow rain fell from the sky, the fire was everywhere, more insects were wrapped in flames, seeing that the method worked, everyone worked harder, and waves of arrow rain followed, and even the mayor of the town showed a smile on his face, as if this insect was not difficult to deal with.
Fifty-one people were already evenly distributed around the circular trenches, and after the battle in the smoke, they knew that this was only the beginning.
As if the strange insects that could not see the front were burned to ashes by the fire, more strange insects crawled out of the abyss, and they trampled on the corpses of their companions, even stacked to the height of a person. There was a suction force from under the abyss, and the last cloud of smoke was sucked into the ground, and with a "gurgling" sound like a strange laugh, all the bugs seemed to go crazy, and the brutal battle began!
"Ignition!"
Seeing this, the mayor finally put away his optimism, he roared, and pulled out his long knife with all his might.
"Boom!"
The oil spread rapidly along the trench in a flash, and after a few breaths, the encirclement was completed.
At this moment, a scene that shocked everyone even more appeared, those strange insects first rushed back in the face of this raging fire, appearing extremely frightened, and then screamed and rushed towards the flames, like moths to the fire.
The trench was a man deep and three feet wide, and it was filled with oil, enough to burn for hours, and no matter how much the strange insects rushed into the fire, it would be useless, but only to add fuel to the brilliant flames, let alone extinguish the fire.
But even so, the people outside the trench couldn't help but feel a stir in their hearts, the ferocity of this unknown creature was terrifying, but fortunately they were well prepared, otherwise it would have been worth letting it rush out.
As the strange insects continued to rush into the sea of fire, a series of "crackling" sounds, this three-foot-wide trench lived up to expectations, so that countless strange insects were buried in it, with the heat wave rolling in, a mushy smell spread everywhere, which was disgusting and disgusting.
Two hours passed, and the situation became more and more serious, although countless strange insects had been burned to ashes, but there were still new insects crawling out of the abyss. At a glance, the black pressure behind the trench was as deep and terrifying as night, and the death of their companions did not make them retreat at all, as if they could plunge into the sea of fire, which was their best destination.
The mayor and all the cultivators gathered together again to discuss countermeasures, and they underestimated the ferocity of each other, and underestimated the sheer number of each other.
After a long silence, the mayor sighed, "The oil should only last an hour and a half!"
After thinking about it, he said again: "At that time, these hands will not be able to withstand it at all!"
Listening to the mayor's analysis, Song Shilin sighed: "No matter what, we must not take half a step back, this smoke is already expanding towards the outside world, if we don't kill them all early, I am afraid that the future troubles will be even more endless." ”
"Do your best!"
......
Finally, the oil burned out, and the first notch appeared in the huge circle of fire, which seemed to be a signal, and soon after, the flame gradually contracted and was about to be completely extinguished.
Seeing this scene, the black and oppressive insect swarm opened its fangs wide, and desperately rushed towards the trench, covering the embers with their ugly bodies, layer by layer, and soon, the firelight retracted, and green smoke floated everywhere.
Before the swarm could stand, the corpses of their companions had filled the trench, and seeing that the flesh and blood were close at hand, they trampled on the scorching earth, screaming and running towards the crowd.
At the same time as the flames were extinguished, a bloody battle officially broke out, more than 2,000 soldiers wielded long knives and desperately slashed monster insects, and cultivators also displayed supernatural abilities, using countless lives to experience for themselves.
There were constantly miserable screams all around, it was strange insects biting the flesh, because the front line was too long, often a soldier had to face seven or eight strange insects at the same time, they did not have the magical powers of cultivators, so death and injury were inevitable. But no matter how fierce the strange insects were, more than 2,000 people still held the line tightly and never retreated half a step back.
