Chapter 10: Midnight Terror
The underground camp has a lot of space, and after all the cleaning has been cleared, the torches have been planted, and the light is very bright, and there is a bonfire in the center, and the smoke can be seen from a high place, which is very good.
Zhang Yang first arranged for the rotation of guards at night, and then determined that the number of torches and firewood was enough to use, so that the soldiers could have dinner.
After eating, he let the spearman captain Wu Yuan, as well as eleven other elite soldiers, rest near him.
It's not that he's timid and afraid of death, well, he's not only small, but he's afraid of death, he's afraid that something will happen at night, and then he can activate the second-level protection as soon as he can, and ordinary soldiers will die when they die, but elite soldiers can't die.
Zhang Yang was quite tired at this time, so he fell asleep quickly after the arrangements were made, and thanks to the B-strength soul, he didn't even have nightmares, and he didn't know how soundly he slept.
I don't know how long it has been,
"Ahhh
A terrible scream suddenly sounded, waking Zhang Yang up from his sleep, he reacted quickly, and turned on the secondary protection as soon as possible, and then went to see what happened?
The bonfire was still burning in the underground space, the torches were still burning, and the soldiers were normal, except for one more dead man, an ordinary soldier who had just been killed, his eyes wide in horror, and a tree root passed through his back.
But other than that, there was no movement.
"But who saw what?"
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Zhang Yang asked nervously, he arranged a total of five night duty teams, each group of five people, this number is already a lot, under the light of the fire, it is enough to see the space of the cave clearly.
"No, I don't know, village chief, Zhao Shishi just went to pee, but when he turned around, he was stabbed to death by that thing. A soldier on duty at night replied with a pale face.
But there's something behind the dead soldier.
"That's the roots? Let's go see a few people. ”
Zhang Yang's heart was beating like a drum, and his mind couldn't control the flashes of various ghost movies he had seen.
A few soldiers boldly walked over as if there was nothing but the roots that had just grown out of the dirt.
A soldier raised his knife and tried to cut off the root, but at this moment, he heard a loud noise, dirt splashed, and another root suddenly came out and pierced the soldier's neck!
The blood gushed upward, and I saw that it was no longer alive.
And this terrifying scene happened right under everyone's noses, it was terrifying, because it was so sudden, I was thinking about the flamboyance of various ghost movie scenes in my head, and I was almost scared to scream.
It was still the spear captain Wu Yuan who shouted to retreat, and the soldiers woke up like a dream and retreated, and at this time, they heard a bang, a bang, a bang, in all directions, southeast and northwest, and the roots of the trees pierced through the soil and rocks.
And these roots seem to come to life, shaking and growing like crazy, like countless tentacle monsters.
"Nima, grandma's legs! fight! fight! hack them!"
Zhang Yang was very angry and shouted hysterically, what is this called?
Why didn't the spider tribe live and settle here before, but Lao Tzu only lived here for a day, and the fart only happened in half a day?
The world of fantasy background can be so capricious, so bullying, what about the setting, let the dog eat it!
The battle is very hot at the beginning, and the soldiers are extremely brave, but those evil, living root monsters are even more ferocious, and the angles are tricky, I drill, I drill, I drill!
There is no way, Zhang Yang sent elite soldiers, which temporarily contained these root monsters, yes, it was temporary, because even if these roots were cut off, they could still grow at a very fast speed, which was bullying, and finally Zhang Yang himself carried a knife and cut it wildly.
Soon the soldiers were wounded and killed, they fought and retreated, forced to gather all together, and had to guard against the roots that bore out of their heads, who knows why they were so vigorous?
More and more tree roots poured into the underground space, and step by step they occupied, the torches were extinguished, the fires were crushed, and in the darkness, there was only the screams of the soldiers before they died.
In the flamboyant second-level protection circle, including him, the 38 big men are almost squeezed into paper people, and they can't beat them, especially in this pitch-black environment.
Fortunately, although those tree roots are tricky, they can't break through the secondary protection, they are just wandering outside, constantly growing, when Zhang Yang used a lighter to observe, what he saw was that countless knotted roots formed an impermeable cage, completely imprisoning 38 of them.
There is no way out, and those tree roots are still growing, still squeezing every bit of the gap, this is to compress and isolate all the air, and then there is no need to break the first-level protective ring, just without oxygen, these 38 people will be completely dead.
"Lao Tzu really saw the hell, what is the reason? When those spiders live here, why are they okay?"
Zhang Yang was desperate, no, he could still maintain the most basic calm, he knew that this thing could not happen without a reason, there must be a reason.
Those two spider lords must have had some way to drive away and contain these root youkai, but they destroyed this method when they moved in.
"Wait, is it because of the spider's venom?"
When this thought flashed through Zhang Yang's mind like a meteor, he suddenly understood.
That's right, the reason why the Spider Lords were able to settle here unharmed must be because of their venom.
Zhang Yang remembered the first time he saw the spider's nest, the pit was surrounded by black substances like asphalt for hundreds of meters, and the nest was also full of these black substances, coating every corner.
Then within three hundred meters, there are no trees that can survive at all, and even three hundred meters away, there are a large number of trees that are hideously tangled, which is caused by venom erosion, and it is also the most important line of defense for the spider tribe to resist these root monsters.
However, after boasting that he had occupied the place, he had the soldiers clean up a large area of black asphalt-like material and completely clean the underground space.
This is tantamount to invisibly destroying that line of defense.
So in a few hours, when he had finished his hunt outside and returned with his soldiers, he saw the trees that had suddenly become vibrant, and they had actually begun to attack at that time.
This war that seems to have come out of nowhere is actually not abrupt.
Zhang Yang was very annoyed, he didn't even think of this until now, and as a result, so many soldiers died, and what should he do now?
Impossible.
In terms of the area of 20 square meters, the 38 of them were crowded like sardines, and there was no way to apply venom, and if anyone was poisoned by this, it would be even more difficult to gain than to lose.
"Let Jean, let me come over for a moment. ”
After thinking quickly, Zhang Yang thought of a solution, it was very simple, he didn't apply it, he wanted to throw all the venom out in one go, anyway, there was a second-level protective ring, and the venom couldn't hurt them, but it should be able to scare off these damn root monsters.
Squeezed to the edge of the secondary protective circle, Zhang Yang tried to change his posture as much as possible, and then he took out all the remaining 50 units of demonized venom from the space of the village building order, this thing was a bit much, soft, as if it was loaded in a poison sac, like a big balloon, he didn't dare to slack off, and threw it out directly.
In the next second, Zhang Yang and they heard a low and strange sound, and then there was a rumbling tremor, the earth was shaking, or it was an earthquake, and countless dirt and stones fell down, directly burying them alive in the ground.
As for the low, strange voice that continued, as if it was painful and angry, but it didn't help.
It took a few minutes for the outside to be quiet, and the owner of the voice seemed to be dead, but the village building order did not catch anything, and there was no information about the killing.
But Zhang Yang can't wait, if they don't go out, they will be suffocated to death.
"Dig out, dig out a passage. ”
Everyone started to dig up like crazy, and after ten minutes they dug out the ground like marmots, and then they were all stunned.
