XLVII. The second explosion
As Loki had thought, shortly after they left, the mammoth and thunderbeast used their massive bodies and greater strength than the other bugs to force their way out of the collapsed ruins. The beasts that walked through the canyon shook their fangs lightly and continued to chase forward, not glancing at the buried but not dead bugs that had been trampled into flesh as they "cleared their way".
There are no superfluous feelings, this is one of the biggest assets of the Zerg based on the interstellar world. The losers can only be buried, and no bugs will think about saving them.
Although the bugs were not slow to clear their way, Loki and his party had already walked away when they reached the wilderness. Although it is said that it is not difficult for a person of Loki's strength to walk the mountain road, the speed of walking on flat ground is still faster than walking on the mountain road after all. And they knew very well that the same situation applied to the bugs, so if they didn't take advantage of the fact that they were out of the way, there was a great chance that their side would be caught up in a short time while the bugs were also moving at full speed in the wilderness.
At the same time, Loki also knew that even if he took the women to distance himself from the swarm, it was only a matter of time before the bugs caught up with him. There are also those ordinary women who set off in advance but are not as fast as a few people on their side, and with them as a burden, it is impossible for them to get rid of the pursuit of the swarm. And Loki is different from the Zerg, the Zerg can give up their fellow clan at will, just to pursue the final result, but it is impossible for him to abandon these women who have chosen to follow him. Therefore, if you just blindly run away, your own group will not be able to escape the fate of being wiped out in the end.
But well...... Loki sneered as he ran. On the road ahead, there is a big gift I have prepared for you, I hope you like it.
While the big ones like the Mammoth and Thunderbeast look quite bulky, they aren't as slow as they might think. Although it is not as agile as a jumping worm, it is not much slower than a cockroach, and much faster than a stinging snake that crawls slowly. And the scene of this group of big guys running up was quite spectacular, dusty, the ground shook, and everywhere they passed was the loess that had been turned up after being ravaged by the huge soles of their feet. It's just a pity that no one is in the mood to appreciate this spectacular scene.
And the jumping insects on the move are a different scene. Although it is also spectacular, it is not the kind of grandeur of the "Mammoth Thunderbeast United". Thousands of jumping insects are like pre-programmed robots, advancing in a uniform formation at almost the exact same frequency. Since the way the jumping insects move is biased towards jumping, the entire sea of insects looks like it is constantly rising from a distance, which is spectacular. Of course, no one wants to enjoy such a spectacular scene.
As for the stinging snake...... They're still trying to crawl through the ruins......
Why? You ask the cockroaches? They all walk from underground, and only two scythe-like bone plates stick out of the ground, like the dorsal fin of a shark in the sea.
From a distance, this is quite a blood-boiling marching picture...... Provided that no one is messing around......
In this large sea of black and oppressive insects, there were suddenly several loud noises, and then bright red flowers suddenly bloomed in the sea of insects.
The flowers that bloom are called mines, and the flowers that bloom are called death.
The red-orange flames erupted from the ground, like the cathartic anger of the earth, engulfing everything above it, and then rushed into the air, blooming a red lotus symbolizing destruction.
However, the N2 explosion buried here is only a small amount, so although the lethality to jumping insects and cockroaches is amazing, as long as they are not directly hit, mammoths and thunder beasts still dare to pass through the barrier made of flames without any scruples. The raging fire didn't seem to do much damage to their carapaces, not even the traces of smoke and fire.
Of course, since the word "seems" is used, the situation will certainly not be so simple. Just as the giant beasts passed through the area where the Hell Red Lotus was blooming, and waited impatiently for the group of insects behind them, who were afraid to cross the sea of fire, a slight explosion suddenly came from their heads, and then a large pile of white powder fell one after another, like a powder snow, and it didn't take long for them to turn into a group of "big white elephants".
Just as the group of large men were looking at the powder with inexplicable eyes, and wondering with their own underdeveloped heads, a cluster of fire erupted from somewhere underground where they stood. However, it was only a cluster, and the ignition seemed to be difficult for even a puppy to kill, so the behemoths showed a complete disregard for it.
It's just that don't underestimate the wisdom of human beings, there are some things that this group of big guys can't think of.
I don't know if it was a gust of wind blowing, or if the big guy inadvertently stomped his foot, and a puff of dust rose and drifted over the flames......
A bright flame lit up in an instant, and burned down the dust like a fuse until it was so light that it was still floating not far from the ground, and then the fire swelled suddenly.
The sneer on the corner of Loki's mouth grew even stronger when he heard a series of explosions behind him and another explosion after a period of silence.
"Well, the second gift has been delivered, I hope you like it~~"
βββββββββββββββI'm the dividing line after the explosionβββββββββββββββ
At this time, the women around Loki were completely numb to Luo Ji's endless methods. They didn't even react excessively when they saw the red lotus in full bloom rising into the air, they just raised their eyebrows and expressed their surprise with their eyes. However, the huge fire cloud that rose immediately afterwards still made the curious baby who couldn't hide what Kikyo couldn't hide and couldn't help but ask:
"Now, this explosion is different from the gunpowder you used before. β
Loki turned his head and raised an eyebrow, "How do you know?"
Kikyo snorted: "Hey, although I'm not as smart as the Aster, I'm not stupid, right? The previous pillars of fire were clearly eruptions caused by the explosion of some kind of gunpowder buried in the ground, but this time the fire cloud spread out, and it looked like the air had suddenly exploded. So, how do you do it? It's not something you can do by simply throwing gunpowder in the air, it just burns, but it doesn't have this explosive effect, which I've tried. β
Loki glanced at Kikyo in surprise: "I didn't expect that you still have a certain understanding of gunpowder." But I'm not using gunpowder...... Well, in a sense, it's about the same as gunpowder in your time, but it's much more powerful...... Hey, off topic. Actually, it wasn't gunpowder that exploded the second time. If I say it's just flour, ordinary flour, would you believe it?"
Kikyo looks at Loki with a "are you kidding me" look.
"Well, I'll just say you won't believe it. Loki shrugged, "But that's just the way it is. I'll explain the situation to you slowly when it's a safe place. β
After saying that, Loki looked up ahead: "If my estimate is correct, we should see others not far ahead." You know, they can't run as fast as we do. So, in order to save time, let's talk about any problems later. You'll have to help me organize it later, so that they can line up and leave. Although it is a waste of time to queue, it is better than swarming. β
"Hmm. The women glanced at each other, nodded, suppressed the doubts and surprises in their hearts, and quickly began to plan in their hearts how to organize an escape in an orderly manner.
