Chapter 251: The Jedi Strikes Back
"Miaoling, this water is a little dirty, but at the moment, it is urgent to obey the power, and it is important to save your life. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Seeing the girl's embarrassed face, Jia Xiao persuaded her.
The swarm behind them realized that the besieging people had escaped from the circle, so they turned around under the command of an invisible hand, and chased after the left side of the forward. The boys' breakthrough was unexpected by the swarm, giving them a moment of respite, but at this moment, everyone had been bitten by the flying beetle, and their mobility was greatly reduced, and they were no longer able to launch another adventure into the swarm, and the river was their only way to escape, and the girl could not agree.
"Not really." Shentu Miaoling glanced at the rapidly approaching insect swarm, and said in a very fast voice, "This river is blocked at both ends, it is a pool of stagnant water, it is a natural swamp pond, if we jump into it, we will be stunned and drowned in the miasma in less than three or five minutes." ”
"Miasma?" Nie Xiaoyang slashed his one-handed sword across the water, and sure enough, some bubbles gushed out on the broken water, and the bubbles burst and emitted a dizzying stench. The boy looked around, only to find that the water was covered with rotten wood of various colors and the dry bones of unknown monsters, which were about rotting and miasma, filling the pool with poisonous gas.
"What then? Are we going to keep running? ”
"That's not going to work either!" Feng Chen put down the "clairvoyance" on his head and observed the terrain in the distance, "If you go forward, there will be no green land, it will be all mire, and if you run forward, you will still be swallowed by the swamp." ”
"Then we're trapped here, just waiting to die?" Hearing such a result, Xiao Yang put down Lu Xiu, who was trembling to himself, and sat on the ground.
"I'm sorry...... The path I led for everyone, I didn't expect this to be the result. Xiong Fuji, who has always been high-spirited, also became depressed. The swarm is not like a large monster, and the big bear can't find a way to fight it.
"There is no absolutely safe place in the swamp," Jia Xiao patted his arm, "It's already very good that you can take us out of the swarm." The priority is how to deal with the situation in front of us, not the time to feel sorry for ourselves. ”
The two fluttering words lifted the will of the companions, and everyone's eyes looked at Feng Chen's head.
"Is there a way?" The paralysis on Lu Xiu's leg continued to spread, and at this moment the whole leg almost lost feeling.
The little hunter pushed the lenses of the clairvoyant and looked at the surroundings: "Since we can't escape, we can only fight them here." ”
"There are thousands of bugs on the other side!" Nie Xiaoyang pointed to the swarm of insects that were getting closer and closer.
"yes, so I'll have to give them a big one." The corners of Feng Chen's mouth rose slightly, "Miaoling, I remember that a large swarm of flying beetles will have a king of insects, and when the swarm approaches, can you take it down?" ”
"That's useless," said the girl, shaking her head, "the Worm King is big and easy to aim, and I have several chances to defeat it along the way I just escaped." But a swarm of this size, even if I kill a leader, it will only take a few seconds for it to spawn a second king on its own, which is not enough for us to distance ourselves. ”
"That's enough." Feng Chen said firmly.
"So what are we going to do?" Nie Xiaoyang asked.
"Let's wade across the river."
…………
The swarm is emotionless, it doesn't have feelings like "doubt" or "winning", and even if the number of flying beetles adds up to a terrifying number of tens of thousands, it is essentially the result of the collective cooperation of insects with low intelligence.
Therefore, when the swarm adjusted their posture and rushed to the valley hunters, they did not question why the boys had turned to defend it, nor were they ecstatic that the food was about to arrive, they just quietly unfolded from the spiral cone to the shape of a mantle, and wrapped towards the boys.
When the six teenagers came into view, the swarm found that they had crossed the narrow river in front of them, holding shields and everything they could stand against in their direction. The six of them huddled together, only six of their heads were still exposed, probing the situation. Lu Xiu was carried across the river by his companions, and the young man was placed on the ground with inconvenient legs and feet, surrounded by various heavy weapons, and he also held his big sword on his chest to resist.
This was the first time the teenagers saw Lu Xiu take off the pitch-black big sword behind him, the big man's big sword was not as red and green as Jia Xiao's, but silver-gray, which was slightly slender for a heavy sword. The upper part of the blade has exaggerated grooves, as if used in very close hand-to-hand combat. This big sword is like Lu Xiu's hunting suit, and the material is also invisible, but seeing the integrated texture, I'm afraid Mo Lin also spent a lot of materials and manual costs.
But at this moment everyone did not have time to look at the young man's weapon, and the monster had already flown over - the insect mass in front of it scattered like a light smoke, and when it reached the river, it obviously hesitated, and still swept low above the water.
"They're coming!" Feng Chen's pupils shrank, "Can you find the Worm King?" ”
"That's it! It's five times the size of the average, so you can't go wrong. Shentu Miaoling drew her bow and arrow, pointed at a giant flying beetle that seemed to be the size of a millstone in the distance, and was about to shoot down.
"Wait, they're too far away." Feng Chen made a gesture of calmness.
"Don't wait, the monster vanguard has already crossed the river!" Nie Xiaoyang said a little anxiously.
Feng Chen looked at the bubbling river in the distance, pinched a handful of sweat on his hands, and said, "Don't be impatient, this distance can't be enough to kill them retreat." ”
"Shoot!" Xiong Fuji, who was half-squatting in the front row for defense, also roared, "The swarm is pervasive, and a few shields won't last long!" ”
"Wait!" Seeing that the vanguard of the monster had rushed to the distance of ten meters from the teenagers with a silent coercion. In the blink of an eye, a bang came from the bear's shield, and it was the first flying beetle that was not afraid of death to finally touch everyone.
With this as a precursor, more beetles shrank their wings and turned their bodies into crossbows, which flew towards the trainees, and the beetles with large fists could cause the effect of adults punching hard even if they only relied on the strength of their bodies, not to mention the continuous insect's momentum, which instantly put the defense line composed of heavy weapons in danger.
"What are you waiting for?" Nie Xiaoyang held the shield and struggled to support it.
"Shoot the arrows!" Feng Dust shouted.
"Whoosh!" An arrow that had been gathering momentum for a long time broke through the air, and the girl's bowstring was plucked continuously, and the three arrows lined up in a straight line in the air, and pierced into the swarm.
The insect at the front rushed up fearlessly, using its body as a shield for the companions behind, a flying insect had little effect on the sharp arrows, but there were countless flying insects in the path that the bow and arrow pointed to. In a few moments, the first arrow was castrated, and it fell to the ground with a faint silver light, and the arrow behind took over the charge, opening a bright white gap in the gray mist composed of the insect swarm.
"Medium!" The last arrow was shot, and Shentu Miaoling couldn't help but snort.
With the girl's shout, there was a slight chaos in the orderly arrangement of the entire insect group, which swayed gently like a candle blown by a breeze. (To be continued.) )
