Chapter 105: Locusts
The bones we excavated were probably those passers-by who were as curious as we were, attracted to the vicinity of the earthen bag by the wonderful phenomenon of fireflies, and then beaten and eaten by the inhumane flock of birds.
Yue Lao stopped in front of me, and ordered Jiang Ziya: "Sandwich Wang Xiaozi in the middle, old Jiang, it seems that we are going to have a fierce battle today!" ”
Jiang Ziya snorted: "I'm worried, I didn't expect to be calculated by this thing, bad luck!" Be careful for a while, don't get pecked! ”
I stood in the middle of the two and asked while shivering, "What kind of bird is this, two old men?" It looks like this is enlightened, huh? ”
"It's not on!" Jiang Ziya said: "Wang Xiaozi, you don't have to worry, you can't die with the two of us, this thing is called locusts, complete vampires, they are animals, but they are smarter, the reason why they are riding locusts is because there are many of these things, and they are difficult, in terms of attack power, they are far inferior to us, but there are too many of these things, and the character has a special mother who really admits death, once the prey is locked, they will not give in until they kill each other or they are destroyed." We've never heard of locusts in the vicinity before, but I guess they've moved in the last 180 years, and they're some of the best hunters and have great hunting skills. ”
I guessed, "Crowd tactics? ”
Jiang Ziya: "The crowd tactic is the first, and the second is that this group of animals is very good at taking advantage of the environment, do you know why they are just surrounding us now and not attacking?" ”
I seemed to understand a little: "You mean they're waiting for dark?" ”
Jiang Ziya nodded: "Yes, the night is beneficial to them, compared to our eyes and perception, their perception ability at night is stronger." ”
I feel a little chill in my neck, damn it, if I am eaten by this group of beasts, then I will be the most unlucky Lord of Hades in history.
Suddenly, I thought of the scene when I was rushing to the forest, and quickly asked: "Something is wrong!" Could it be that this thing only eats people? When we first entered this forest, I heard the cries of many other animals and birds, why didn't the locusts hunt other prey, but instead spend time eating us? ”
Jiang Ziya looked at the sun on the west side: "There are still two hours before it gets dark, let's prepare more, Wang boy, you try to smear the soil on your body, so as to avoid getting the venom they squirt!" As for the birds and beasts you mentioned...... Are you sure you're hearing real animals and birds? ”
"You mean...... And they sent the noise? "At this time, I was cold all over my body!
If a monster makes me afraid, then this dense stuff makes me feel scared, such as ant piles and centipedes, which seems to be a disease, called cheat phobia.
And if this kind of thing that scares me is quite smart, then my feelings can only be described as fear!
"Not bad! The movement was made by this herd of animals! It's hard to tell, but since they're entrenched here, there's no other animal nearby, so the sound can only be imitated by them! Jiang Ziya responded to me while smearing mud on his face: "This is also their third characteristic, they are good at camouflage, imitation, and seduction, they usually lie motionless on the tree, their feathers are black, not reflective, and their habitat is generally a very dense forest, so, they are difficult to detect, and then, they will imitate the sound of any animal they have seen, so that people or animals outside the forest mistakenly think that there is no danger here, and if these are not enough, they will set some traps, Attract more vigilant prey. Thanks to Xiao Hei who ate all the prey in our direction, otherwise, this group of animals would definitely infiltrate us little by little! ”
Me: "They've trapped us here, can't we get out?" Is there a chance to give it a go? ”
Jiang Ziya shook his head: "The safest way is to defend, if it weren't for you, the two of us would have rushed out a long time ago, but your skills are not enough, you will be killed by them if you bite us, we still wait, and when they all die suicidally in our hands, we will naturally be able to go out!" ”
Damn, can I afford to wait? There are twelve more guests waiting for me to lead them out! This is my first deal!
I tried again: "Nothing can be done?" ”
"How?" Jiang Ziya muttered: "It's not nothing, as long as we catch their leader, they will be completely soft!" ”
I excitedly said, "Then let's find their leader?" ”
The old man next to him spoke up: "There are so many birds, do you know which one is the leader?" ”
Yes, there are so many locusts! However, I am a person who has seen the animal world, and I know that animals in general are respected for their strength, and the strongest and most skilled hunters are often the leaders, and the biggest ones are often the strongest!
I began to carefully touch the flock, and soon, I found the largest locust in the vicinity, and I pointed in its direction and said to Jiang Ziya and Yue Lao, "You see, this one is the largest, it must be the leader of this flock of birds, right?" ”
"Not necessarily!" Yue Lao shook his head solemnly: "This animal is the kind of species that can't be opened by the mind, and their hunting relies on camouflage, imitation, and lure, so the command ability is extremely important!" The locusts that can feed these beasts are the ones most likely to become the leaders! ”
This is a bit difficult, and it can be said that in the course of the battle, all of our minds must be focused on defending and killing each other, and it is impossible to find time to observe which bird is the smartest and which bird is directing the attack.
Well, it seems that the idea of a quick fix cannot be realized.
……
Three and a half hours later, the sun set!
At the moment when the last point of light of the sun disappeared, the locust flock suddenly became restless, I don't know which bird was the first to cry, the sound was like a wolf howling, and like a tiger's roar, in short, the sound was particularly terrifying, particularly breathtaking.
Yue Lao and Wang Chongyang moved their muscles and bones at the same time, and Yue Lao on my west side coughed lightly a few times and took a few breaths of air: "Here, prepare, they are going to have dinner!" ”
As soon as the old man landed on the ground, the big locust that I thought was the leader suddenly flapped its wings a few times, and glided towards us, and the speed was very fast, and soon, I discovered its intentions, and it seemed to see that I was the weakest of the three, so it chose to attack me first.
At the same time, the other locusts swooped down while hissing, basically attacking in a full range, above, in front and back, left and right, everywhere, all like hungry raptors, extremely red-eyed.
Jiang Ziya was not in a hurry, he let out a low shout, and shook the dust whisk in his hand suddenly, and then, a huge spiritual power poured out of his body, and the dust whisk in his hand also instantly emitted a light blue light, and the spiritual power continued to surround the dust, and the color gradually changed from light blue to dark blue.
The color of the dust is getting darker and darker, but the light is getting brighter and brighter, just at the moment when a large wave of locusts is about to touch us, the dust suddenly flashes with an extremely dazzling light, as if a nuclear weapon exploded, I didn't have time to close my eyes, I felt an extremely painful feeling transmitted to my brain, my eyes were white, and then there was an inexplicable black fog, and after that, I found that I couldn't see anything!
There was a muffled sound all around, and a large number of locusts should have been killed by this move and fell to the ground one after another.
"Ahh I shouted, "I can't see anything!" I'm blind! ”
"It's funny, it's just a short blinding!" Jiang Ziya was still not in a hurry: "My trick is called Heavenly Jealousy Talent, and the scope of use is very wide, specializing in dealing with all kinds of extreme existences, aren't these stupid birds relying on their good eyesight to play group fights?" I will stimulate their eyes and make them all blind! If you Terran vision is good, you can't absorb so much light, so you haven't been injured, and you can recover your vision in a minute or two, you stick to me, don't move! ”
I nodded frequently, kept rubbing my eyes, Jiang Ziya saw that I was silent, and then said: "Boy, it's rare for me to be mad, so it's better to take this opportunity to teach you something, you remember it!" ”
I hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, I can't see anything yet!" ”
Wang Chongyang shook the dust violently and said, "Don't look at it! Just listen carefully! The so-called spiritual power is the essence of heaven and earth, and we cultivators are talking about the process of condensing the most precious things in heaven and earth into the body, using spiritual power as support, and then using various other substances. For example, most of the offensive exercises are to use spiritual power to condense the air, and then pulled by the spiritual power, the air with great energy hits the opponent's body, and produces an explosive cycle, if you want to make rapid progress, one is to learn the mental method, the old man of Shennong's is the basic mental method, you have to practice more, second, you have to use more spiritual power, more refining spiritual power, only the concentration and quality of spiritual power to a certain extent, you can have improvement...... As for the weapon, I also talked about it above today, so I won't be wordy, by the way, this dust whisk of mine is a spiritual weapon, and the god list that my teacher gave me back then was a treasure weapon, but it was taken back by the teacher......"
And then this guy talked for half an hour!
After he shut up, I began to observe Yue Lao's kung fu.
This old man's weapon is a thread group, and it turns out to be a spiritual weapon, his exercises are strange, Jiang Ziya's kung fu focuses on killing, while Yue Lao's kung fu tends to torture the enemy.
The thread in his hand kept flying out of the red line, and the two ends of all the flying lines would be entangled with the feet of a locust, and the red line seemed to have spirituality, often two locusts in different directions were connected together, and then torn in the air, and then the red line and the red line would pull each other, entangle each other, and finally, a large number of red lines were staggered together, forming a complete mess.
And just like that, we held out for two hours.
In the past two hours, I began to try to use spiritual power according to the method that Wang Chongyang told me, and what made me excited was that in this dangerous and exciting situation, I seemed to have really mastered some tricks, from the most basic absorption and vomiting, to the spiritual meridians, from the use of spiritual power to compress the air, to the scarring of my own internal organs by the bombs I made, I basically mastered some operating principles and operation sequences.
After taking a few deep breaths, I coherently performed this set and action, and then, the first spiritual attack in my life was born!
