Chapter 250: Fleeing from the road
"Get out of there! There are more and more of them! The little hunter held his one-handed sword in front of him, and bowed to the placket of Rajaxiao's clothes. There were only a few dozen of the insects chasing the teenagers www.biquge.info Pen & Fun & Pavilion, but after only two minutes, the clouds in the sky were twice as big as before. Around the clouds, there is also a steady stream of new bugs rushing over, and the team is getting bigger and bigger every second, "We can't kill them all!" ”
The tomboy held his broadsword across his chest, and in an instant he heard several clanging sounds, which were the sound of flying beetles hitting the blade of the sword. After his delay, the distance between the swarm and the teenagers was closer, and several of them were already attached to the bodies of the apprentices, and from a distance, the six panicked teenagers were slowly swallowed by the huge gray smoke.
"You can't run to the camp!" Feng Chen remembered something, "Further ahead is a quagmire area, our route of movement will be restricted, and the swarm will come up and there will be no way to dodge. ”
"To the east! Follow the grass area, find a river that can accommodate people, and we will be safe! Xiong Fuji also stopped and used his shield to resist the incoming insect tide, and shouted hoarsely.
Water is the natural enemy of flying insects, and even if some insects are born from water, their weak wings lose the ability to take off again once they get wet, which is something that a three-year-old child knows on the mainland. Xiong Fuji's order was approved by most people, and the teenagers fought and retreated, entangled with the insect swarm, while looking for a way to the east.
Once a swarm of flying beetles comes into contact with a person, it is difficult to retreat. Shentu Miaoling's bowstring was plucked, and several arrows with fire light were like nets enveloping the black mist that followed behind her, and the powerful attack briefly broke the swarm, but it didn't take a few seconds for the newly added insects to fill the hole.
"Watch out for the side, they're outflanking!" Feng Chen's hand threw out two explosive bombs, and the bombs with the same material as the assault bottle instantly ignited a large number of flying beetles that came from the sneak attack, but the left flank of the teenagers was already surrounded, and they had to change directions under Xiong Fuji's guidance.
"The swarm ......" Nie Xiaoyang ran out of breath, "The swarm seems to have become smarter." ”
The way to measure the intelligence of social monsters is different, and the collective itself can bring more powerful intelligence. Hundreds of dogs and dragons will spontaneously form a strict tactical division of labor, so that the hunters caught in it will be exhausted. At the moment, although the individual intelligence of these beetles is not even as good as that of the lowest-level dog dragons, their numbers are far higher than those of the latter. In less than a quarter of an hour, the swarm's pursuit had changed from a single point advance to a nimble multi-way approach, and several small units had even broken down on either side of the trainees. A group of slightly larger, fast-flying individuals suddenly rose up, trying to pass over the heads of the crowd and block the hunter's path.
The teenagers changed direction several times, but they couldn't shake off the swarm of insects that followed them like shadows. The monsters shadow each other, and their overall speed is slightly faster than their individual speeds. Feng Chen and Jia Xiao, who ran at the end, even had to use short-distance tactical dodge moves to avoid the large flying beetles that rushed over. But this is not a long-term solution, rolling and dodging consume more physical strength than running, and before the monster catches up with him, the teenagers will be dragged to death by such a high-intensity run that is difficult to breathe.
"Haven't you seen the river yet?" Jia Xiao asked anxiously. The swamp was full of water, but the bear had been running ahead for several minutes, still not finding a place to stay.
"I don't know! It could be that these bugs are stopping us from jumping into the river! The stout boy held his shield in front of him, his helmet covering his face tightly, and his voice was like an urn.
"It's possible! We've got to get out of their encirclement! Jia Xiao quickly decided, "Everyone prepare, we have to get through the swarm!" ”
Feng Chen subconsciously wrapped his hunting suit tightly, and the six of them hugged tightly into a group, forming a compact formation with Xiong Fuji as the forward.
"Left!" Jia Xiao pointed at the sword, the insect swarm on the left wing had just been thrown off by everyone, and before it had time to refill it, there were only dozens of flying beetles hanging from everyone not far away at this moment, although it was much larger than the original insect swarm, but it was also a rare weak link.
"Rush over!" Xiong Fuji spat out a puff of turbid gas, and the young man closed his eyes, raised his shield forward, and rushed into the swarm with his companions behind him.
As soon as he pierced into the black mist, Feng Chen only felt that countless chaotic beetles rushed in front of him. The monster flapped its wings and swept over the boy's face, and the hard shell of the flying beetle flew at high speed, like a bullet from a ballista, and just hitting the boy's hunting suit was like being hit by a random punch. The little hunter could only curl up his body to minimize the monster's touch, and he couldn't prevent a pain in his armpit, but a beetle got into the joint of the hunting suit and bit him hard.
"Uh...... Yes! The instinctive human aversion to insects caused him to reflexively pounce on the pain points, and the pit was cold, and the insect was smashed to pieces, but this action caused him to stumble under his feet, revealing more empty doors around his body, allowing several beetles to burrow into the cracks in his armor.
"Damn it!" Lu Xiu's condition was even more miserable, the flying beetle did not have any dragon blood on it, and it was almost immune to the suppression of the dragonman's rank. Not only that, but the blood of the dragons seems to have a strange attraction to them, so that the flying beetles that have tasted the sweetness rush up and wrap the whole of the horse.
Running desperately according to the route previously demarcated with his eyes closed, Feng Chen suddenly felt that his body was light, the beetle's attack was reduced, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already reached the other side of the swarm.
"Dust boy! Help me! Behind him, Lu Xiu groaned and said dryly. The little hunter looked back, but found that the big man had a weak foot after rushing out of the swarm, and instantly stalled and fell, and had already rolled in the mud several times, "bitten on the thigh...... It's damn ......."
Ignoring the soreness on his body, Feng Chen hurriedly pulled the big man up, Lu Xiu's knees burst with green pulp, and the attacking flying beetle had already paid the price of his life, but in exchange for the dragonman's left leg was temporarily lost, his knee could not bend, and his forward speed decreased again.
Seeing this, Xiao Yang stopped and grabbed Lu Xiu's other arm, his face was bitten a few times by the insect jaw, and he couldn't even speak clearly at the moment, and said vaguely: "Hurry up...... The swarm has also turned! ”
The two carried the horses to follow the front team, and saw a long-awaited river in front of them, the river was only more than ten meters wide, not like the temporary gathering of rain, Xiong Fuji stopped by the river, and tested the depth of the water with the tip of the gun. The spear sank into the dirty water for more than a meter, which was just right for six people to hide and dodge.
"No! Don't jump in! Just when everyone was rejoicing, Shentu Miaoling shouted to stop her companion's movements, "This river can't be hidden!" (To be continued.) )
