Chapter 119: The Fisherman Profits
The defense line formed by the five pythons was breached, and all kinds of poisonous insects swarmed forward, instantly surrounding the five behemoths, and some small reptiles even climbed on top of the huge torso. The pythons shook their bodies to get rid of the little things on their bodies, but the poisonous insects were like appendages, and the more they struggled to climb up, the more they could climb, and all they could do was keep whipping their tails to slow down the attack of the swarm.
The python has a huge body, and every time its tail is pumped, it can crush dozens or hundreds of insects, and under their crazy attacks, the number of insects is decreasing dramatically.
However, the swarm is like a death squad that is not afraid of death, no matter how many people die, they can quickly surge up, and they will not flinch in the face of the terrifying attack power of the giant python. The black-pressed insect tide army soon stuck to the body of the python, and they kept attacking the snake with tail spines or sharp mouthparts, injecting a large amount of toxin into the body of the python.
The python was already scarred under such a siege, and it kept roaring, hitting the stone pillars on the side, hoping to shake off the poisonous insects all over its body. It's just that those poisonous insects are too tenacious, and even if the giant python tries its best, it can't get rid of this group of appendages.
As a result, the python no longer cared about the poisonous insects crawling on its body, but instead concentrated on dealing with the surging insect tide under it.
The two sides fought for a long time, and most of the poisonous insects were damaged, and none of the five giant pythons were intact. On the giant python side, except for the leader one, who still has the strength to fight, the other four are all exhausted, and even if they occasionally wave their tails a few times, they can't cause much damage to the swarm.
In such a situation, it seems that the victory or defeat of both sides has been decided, and under the absolute numerical superiority of the insects, it is only a matter of time before the five pythons are overthrown. Besides, the pythons are all poisonous, and their death is inevitable, even if the bugs don't do anything, it won't be long before five behemoths will be poisoned to death.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the four slightly smaller pythons to resist weaker and weaker, and insects were already crawling all over their bodies. The insects didn't even seem to let go of the snake corpse, and they even gnawed on it like this, and even everyone hiding in the distance could hear the 'click' sound of gnawing meat.
"Looks like it's time for us to play." Wang Hao and several of his special soldiers were squatting a little impatient behind the stone pillar, and they couldn't help but take advantage of the fisherman.
Ye Qi stretched out his hand to stop the special sergeants who were about to get up, and his eyes turned to the 'battlefield' side and said, "Wait, that big python hasn't fallen yet." ”
When everyone heard this, they looked, and sure enough, at the end of the firelight, there was a faintly long figure swinging there, and the roars that came from time to time showed its anxiety and anger.
That figure was the leading python, and after the death of four ten-meter-long pythons, it not only did not become weak, but lifted its spirits to fight more and more bravely. With each flick of its tail, it can take away the lives of hundreds of insects, it seems to have abandoned all pain, even the toxins of insects have no effect on it, and its fierce combat power actually rises in a straight line after the death of its companions.
"Heh, that big guy has so many bugs hanging on his body, and he can still fight alive and vigorous, it's fucking awesome!" As a special personnel of soldiers, they admire this unyielding fighting spirit the most, even if the other party is a python.
"That guy won't last long, it's just coming back to light now." Ye Qi analyzed very calmly.
Sure enough, as he expected, after a few minutes of eruption, the attack power of the giant python instantly dropped by more than half. The frequency of tail flicks became slower and slower, and each blow seemed to exhaust all the strength, but the effect received was much less than before.
The bugs also seemed to sense that the big guy in front of them had reached the point of running out of oil, and the few remaining bugs suddenly lifted their spirits and launched a suicidal attack again.
How could the crumbling giant python withstand such a strong attack, and after holding on for a while and taking away nearly a thousand insects, it finally couldn't withstand the crazy attack, and its huge body fell down with a bang. The moment it fell, it let out a mournful scream, as if it was unwilling to die at the mouth of the swarm.
The swarm won, but it was only a pyrrhic victory. There were less than 10 percent of the bugs left, and the cavern floor was littered with crushed worm corpses, and disgusting green juice was everywhere.
However, the remaining bugs did not react at all. In their opinion, they don't have much intelligence, it doesn't matter how many casualties there are, as long as they can defeat the enemy in the end and gain benefits. The remaining bugs crawled on top of the snake carcass and feasted on it, and they began to enjoy the hard-earned spoils.
"Gollum~"
The few people watching the battle from a distance all swallowed with difficulty. The frenzied attack of the bugs made them realize what it means to be 'unity is strength'. This crazy 'sea of worms' tactics can't help but remind everyone of a certain non-governmental organization called 'Yihetuan' in the late Qing Dynasty, which specialized in fighting foreign guns with flesh and blood. Now it seems that the bugs behaved like this group, and the victory was made entirely out of corpses!
"What now?" Although 90 percent of the bugs died, the remaining 10 percent also numbered in the thousands. It's not a hassle to deal with so many poisonous little things.
Ye Qi had a sly smile on his face: "Didn't we bring a few cans of gasoline for the fire, since they eat so similarly, why don't we add fire to it and have a snake and insect barbecue feast." ”
As soon as they said it, Ye Qi, Wang Hao and Jiang Bin each lifted the oil canister and sprinkled gasoline around the three snakes. And the group of insects that ate deliciously did not react to the approaching three people, and let them come and go on the side.
After spilling a few pours of gasoline, the three of them threw torches at the snake's body. Flames burst into flames and spread across the area spilled with gasoline.
The bugs, who were content to enjoy themselves, sensed that something was wrong, but it was too late to get out of the situation. The fire turned the snake corpse into a giant oven, and the bugs had no escape but to wait for their fate to be roasted.
In the raging fire, the screeching sound of the flames burning insects could be clearly heard, and there was an unpleasant smell of burning in the air.
"I said, don't watch the bonfire, it's important to get down to business now." Marceau reminded with her nose covered.
Only then did everyone think that there was something important to do, and just now they were patronizing to watch the group of insects fighting the python, and they almost left behind the matter of looking for the meat reishi.
It's not too early to see if it's too late, and I don't know if there are any other dangers in this cave. So everyone didn't dare to stay longer, and lit the torches and quickly went in the direction of discovering the meat lingzhi.
This time it was dangerous, but in the end, it was averted. The poisonous insect and the python fought to the death, but they ended up losing both, but they made Ye Qi and them the fisherman's benefit.
