Act III: The Frostfall Rebellion Chapter 58: The Scorpion Swarm
The roar of the beast is not very loud, and it is basically inaudible from a little distance, although Resa is urgent, but there is no way in the elevator, no, Ressa, who has just gotten off the elevator, quickly ran in the direction of Revatin, and although Lycoris didn't understand what was happening, but seeing Ressa's urgency, they hurriedly followed behind.
When he arrived outside Revatin's city, Resa breathed a sigh of relief, unlike the beast siege he expected, there were hundreds of crystal-tailed sand scorpions outside the city wall, most of these sand scorpions were clamoring for this pair of claws, making a rustling sound of rubbing, combined with the strange sound waves emitted from time to time, it formed a sound similar to the roar of a beast that Resa had heard before.
They don't attack, they just surround the city gates, sitting in all kinds of intimidating actions, this kind of scene is said to be a beast tide attacking the city of Ressa, and it is impossible to believe it.
Feeling that there seemed to be a living form approaching behind them, the scorpions' movements froze slightly, and after seeing Ressa, who exuded blood, and Lycoris, who fused with purple psychic fire, these sand scorpions all fell silent.
Obviously, the scorpion swarm is also an old fritter. A lilac scorpion, which had always been a little larger, let out a strange sound wave after feeling the rich blood on Ressa's body, and the scorpion group gathered in front of the city in a hurry, as if they had seen something terrible.
Ressa watched the scene in front of him with great interest, and he didn't stop the scorpion from escaping, but just as the large lilac scorpion was about to escape, his figure flashed, and when he reappeared, the large scorpion had already been trampled under his feet.
The purple scorpion obviously didn't expect to be caught by Ressa, but its reaction was still very fast, and it quickly raised its chelica together, constantly swinging up and down, and it looked like it was doing something like it was doing.
"It's a fun little thing." Resa lifted her feet, crouched down, looked at the purple scorpion with a pitiful face, and hesitated to take it directly.
Perhaps sensing the killing intent in Ressa's heart, the purple scorpion swung faster, which made Ressa, who was about to make a move, stop.
"Let's put the tower!" A familiar voice came from a distance, and Resa looked up to see Greva and Niko approaching this way.
"Long time no see, Greva." Resa turned her attention away from the purple scorpion: "Nizi, do you miss Brother Ressa?" ”
Greva nodded to Ressa, and Niko pounced on Ressa's arms, "Brother Ressa, I want to kill you, suck." As he spoke, he sucked back the saliva that came out of the corner of his mouth.
Ressa's heart ached slightly, at the age of Nizi, she should be in a carefree and happy childhood, but the cruel reality and world brought her a pain that she could not heal for a lifetime.
After getting tired of being in Ressa's arms for a while, Nizi jumped out and went to find Licoris, the three girls were of the same age, so there were naturally a lot more topics.
"Didn't Sister Yanxin come?" Gleva walked up to Resa and asked with a smile, and it was obvious that she cared about Xin.
"Well, it's just the three of us this time." Resa spread her hands, he also wanted to bring them here, but unfortunately it was only the three of them in the end.
"Well, it looks like I'm the only one who has the time to check on her." Gleva shrugged helplessly, and saw that the three of Resa were carrying several aether backpacks, and her eyes lit up again: "It seems that this time I brought a lot of things?" ”
"Well, I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised."
"Wow, I'm looking forward to it!" Glevar took Ressa's hand: "Let's go in and talk, Brother Ressa." With that, he beckoned to Nizi who was not far away.
As the group walked towards the city, Ricoris and Nizi outnumbered Resa and Greva in laughter and ran into the city first.
……
"So, these scorpions have helped you?" Ressa's jaw almost dropped in shock, after his inquiry, he found out that this small scorpion swarm had inadvertently broken into here, at first the scorpion swarm was hostile to Revatin, during that time, they had been surrounding here, Glewa and the others did not dare to go out, these scorpions could not enter, and both sides could only stare at each other.
Gleva tried all sorts of things, intimidation, and torches, but to no avail, and she did not dare to activate the attack of the city's defenses, because she was afraid that the sound of the attack would attract stronger beasts.
was blocked at home, Grewa was naturally very distressed, but fortunately, the peacemaker who sent it to the door appeared, and two gerbil-like creatures strayed into the place, which brought a lot of impact to the scorpion group.
Although he is happy to see it, but Greva's side, he can't sit idly by and ignore these two gerbil-like beasts, maybe the threat of the scorpion pack is not too big, but if these gerbils find Revatin, there will be no peace here.
Greva immediately mobilized twelve small floating cannons to attack the two gerbils, and the gerbils surrounded by the scorpion swarm did not expect that the black high wall not far away would shoot a deadly attack, and the two gerbils were seriously injured by the floating cannons in a hurry, and the besieged scorpion swarm was not humble, and directly surrounded and completely dismembered the gerbils.
Gleva on the city wall curiously watched the scorpion group continue to pass the pieces of gerbils to share and eat, and suddenly had a guess in his heart, the two gerbils may look the size of adult earth dogs, but in the hundreds of scorpion groups, there are still a lot of sand scorpions can not be divided, Glewa took out nearly 100 catties of frozen animal meat from the cold storage with the mentality of trying it out, and after the girls transported the animal meat to the city wall, Glewa took the girls to steam several large baskets of sweet potatoes in the gap between the thawing of the animal meat and transported them to the city wall together.
The girls didn't have much strength, they could only divide the sweet potato and beast meat into small pieces weighing half a catty, and then throw them as far away as possible, after doing all this, the dozens of girls on the city wall were exhausted, and Grewa pulled the barrier of the defense matrix back to the city wall, so that the beast meat and the sweet potato were all exposed to the vision of the crystal-tailed sand scorpion swarm.
The sand scorpion swarm is crazy, obviously this group of sand scorpions has not eaten for a long time, only to see the beast meat, or the sweet potato, all of them were lifted by the sand scorpions with double chela, and finally collected together, a lilac large scorpion came to the position close to the city wall, raised the double chela and swung up and down a few times, and then slowly retreated with the scorpion group. After that, the scorpion colony also gathered under the city walls a few times, but it was usually after they had not received food for a certain period of time, and they lived at the back of the stairs, so even though both sides were peaceful during this time, Greva did not let people out of the city.
During this period, some other beasts in the desert also broke into this place a few times, but under the siege of the scorpion group, they were basically easily solved.
Hearing this, Resa thought of the gesture of the lilac scorpion he had caught just now and bowed to him, and the leader of this scorpion group already had a certain amount of wisdom, so he could know how to look for external help when the group ran out of food.
If the scorpions could be tamed, it would be an effective defense, Resa thought to herself, and Greva's next words revealed their current predicament.
The dungeon city of Revadine is now divided into the inner city and the outer city, the outer city is dominated by residential areas, and the inner city is a mansion specially built for Resa by Gleva with the girls using some special materials, although the area of the inner city is not large.
And the last time he returned to the shelter node, Grewa exchanged some unused resources at the node, although he bought back a batch of materials, but under the continuous consumption, it is estimated that it will be exhausted in two or three months. Moreover, the staple food of the people in the city is basically sweet potatoes, and there is no vegetable intake, so these girls are not in good health. And as time goes by, the meat begins to become less and less, but fortunately, the scorpion colony outside is not picky, even if it is only given to them sweet potatoes, they will still happily express their gratitude and leave.
Ressa rubbed his forehead, he suddenly realized that the difficulty of running a shelter was not as easy as he imagined, although this time he brought a lot of supplies and all kinds of food, but these were all rootless after all, and could not stand the scrutiny of time.
Niko and Lycoris have disappeared, and Revatin at this time is completely different from when Resa first saw her, the houses on both sides of the street are simply arranged, but they are much better than the previous humble houses. The houses spread outward, and finally converged on the location of the original water station, where there was a self-service water retribution, and a small square was built on the other side, in addition to the slightly rough stone benches and stone tables, there were some short Ressa's single and parallel bars of exercise equipment, Ressa could not imagine that this was actually the handiwork of dozens of girls.
Just like these houses, although most of them are restored on the original foundation, this is also an extremely huge project for dozens of girls.
Seeming to see what Resa was thinking, Greva smiled and said: "The city can have today's situation, thanks to the people of Lycoris, although they are very young, but their talent is definitely not bad, after a period of training, they have basically become superpowers, including the girls I saved, there are now nearly twenty supernatural people in Revatin." ”
"Twenty Adepts?" Ressa was really surprised.
Becoming an Adept is certainly related to talent, but it also requires extremely rigorous training to awaken the ability, just like Iluf or Lynn, which one of them did not awaken the ability when they were struggling on the edge of life and death, and these girls awakened the ability at this age, Resa couldn't imagine how much suffering they had to endure......
