Chapter 12: The Opening of Nuclear Balance (Part II)
Rewind the clock to ten minutes ago.
Jin Li twitched his nose, trying to ignore the disturbing smell so that he could find the same kind of smell.
There were four smells in the air in his senses, the strongest of which was the disgusting smell of insect excrement, the smell of igneous rock crystals, all too familiar to him who had used it as an explosive for many years. The slightly lighter smell is burnt, after all, the fire is so big, it's normal to have a little burnt smell. The third is the smell of sweat on the druids. How to say it, although it is weaker than his own, it is a man's taste.
In the end, it was the breath of the same kind on the stone that the kid handed over just now.
He couldn't be mistaken, the strong dwarf body odor, and a little bit of vicissitudes...... Must be a compatriot with a story!
So he left the chaotic market area and followed the smell all the way to Uptown.
"This is it!"
He rubbed his hands together, pushed open the window, and deftly climbed inside.
"Boom, boom" twice, two sparks flashed in the dark, the plate axe in Jin Li's hand was knocked away, and he was put against the wall with the back of the axe against his neck - fortunately it was the back of the axe, otherwise it would not be the axe that was knocked away.
"Who?" There was an urn sound in the darkness, and the urn asked angrily.
"[Dwarven language] self, own people, cough cough ......"
"Dwarves?" Thorin was surprised to put down his axe and light the lamp.
He looked at Jin Li in surprise and found that the other party looked older than himself, but his voice sounded so young.
"[Dwarven language] are indeed compatriots! It's amazing to see your compatriots outside of Eagle's Nest Mountain! Jin Li didn't mind being slammed against the wall for a second, and opened his arms and hugged him warmly.
"[Dwarven] You were kicked out of the house too?" Although Thorin was also a little surprised, it was far less exaggerated than the former.
"Let's not talk about that, we need to get out of here." Jin Li jumped up and grabbed the window edge and looked out a few times. "While they're still in a mess, let's go, I know it's not good where there are bugs."
"Wait, bugs? Mixed up? Thorin pushed the door open, and the flames and noisy fights rushed in his face like waves, and looking down from the upper city, the whole of Imotru was enveloped in a sea of fire, and the air was a little distorted.
"Miya is on top, I just fell asleep, is this the end of the world?"
"Those damn bugmen did it, I bet!" Jin Li patted his chest and said: "I found the underground passage of Ant-Man when I was wandering around the planting area in the afternoon, but unfortunately those stupid big ones didn't listen to me, saying that I had hallucinations after mining for too long, and now it is estimated that their corpses have become insect nests." ”
Thorin suddenly remembered that Surya and Mu Yan had gone to the market area, and hurriedly grabbed Jin Li. "Have you ever seen a pair of human men and women, the man has black hair, is thin, and looks like he is the smartest in the world, and the woman is stupid, and he looks right?"
"Of course I did, otherwise how would I have found you?" Jin Li took out the piece of cold iron. "He changed a piece of kapok aphid from me, and then went to the bugs, and when I came back, I seemed to see the woman and an elf going to the planting area, and the man was carried by her, unconscious."
"What!?" Thorin's voice suddenly rose an octave, and he was about to walk out without saying a word, when he was pulled by Jin Li.
"Where are you going? Are they your companions? ”
"Of course, save people!"
"The planting area is the safest now, and the insects don't stay where they laid their eggs, so if you really want to save them, follow me to Fujido Ward and inform the birdmen who live in the trees."
Thorin thought for a moment and felt that what he said made sense, so he nodded.
Just as the two of them were about to go out, there was a loud bang in the central area of Imotru, and the blazing fire accompanied by billowing smoke rose into the sky, and an invisible wave of air razed the houses in the market area to the ground like a devastating one, and the aftermath lifted the two people away from the door and slammed them on the wall, leaving two people's footprints.
Thorin fell down in disgrace, and before he had time to clean up, he grabbed Jin Li's collar and cursed.
"What the fuck do you say the planting area is safe?"
"I know a fast way to the planting area!" Jin Li knew that if he didn't say something, he was afraid that he would be beaten violently, and the scene where the other party slammed him on the wall just now is still fresh in his memory.
"Lead the way!"
……
In the dark corner of the market area, a group of ant-men removed the pliers from their mouths, held them in their hands, and dissected the bloated bodies of the rock fire insect people little by little, and the red and yellow transparent juice was scattered all over the ground, smeared everywhere by them, emitting a pungent smell, like the lights in the dark night, constantly teasing the feathered snake in the distance.
The strange thing is that the rock fire insect people are like puppets, allowing themselves to be brutally tortured and killed by their compatriots, without the will to resist, and the rows of small dark eyes seem to have lost their divine light, and they are stupid.
……
The explosion came so suddenly that everyone in the market area was awakened, and at the same time, the air wave pushed the hot smell into the air, and the air at the bottom was suddenly fresh.
Haza was thrown against a wall, and the violent impact brought him to his senses.
"Hiss-it hurts Lao Tzu to death." He rubbed his head and stood up, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the mess in front of him.
Everyone who used to be frolicking and frolicking turned into beasts and lay on the ground, surrounded by bloodstains, and the ground was full of broken vines and scorch marks. The fire was spreading, and the wooden houses were burning very fast, so it was useless to extinguish the fire.
The most important thing is that a puff of black smoke is constantly rising from the planting area, and it smells of rice?
Suddenly, he saw the tavern owner lying in the corner covered in blood, and hurriedly turned into a leopard and ran over.
The moment he landed, the aqua blue light rose from his hand and continued to penetrate into the latter's body. Soon, the tavern owner woke up in a leisurely circle.
"Old Spot, what's going on? How did it get like this? ”
The old spot slapped him in the face. "Is your uncle embarrassed to ask? If you hadn't locked Lao Tzu up with that she-violent bear, I would have been beaten like this? ”
"No, look—"
Haza didn't bother to argue with him, and helped him sit up.
The old spot was shocked by the scene in front of him, especially the smoke from the planting area.
"Fuck Gustavo, that bastard says all the time, 'Why don't you blow up that broken altar?' ”
"Gustavo?" As if remembering something, Haza hurried out.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"I know who the she-bear is talking about! Who else is good about this besides that bastard Gustavo?? ”
After saying that, he ran out without looking back.
---------------
Growing area.
The earth-shattering explosion drew the air force units living in Fujido Ward, which consisted of druids who were good at transforming into birds, and were in charge of guarding and transporting goods to various places in normal times. Due to the small number of people and the high intensity of flying during the day, most of them fell asleep early when night fell, and Fujido was on the edge of a sinkhole, far from the market and the upper town, so they didn't notice even if most of the Imotru was in flames.
In fact, the root cause is still Gustavo, and the night vigilance in the past was done by this energetic patriarch alone.
Maga and Freya's transformed crows were the quickest to act, and they were the first to arrive at the scene of the accident.
The place where the primordial altar once stood was now scattered with only a few stone pillars, and a large crater had been blown out of the ground, which looked like a miniature version of Imotru from the sky, surrounded by radial blast marks, and many corpses on the mound of earth that had been pushed to the edge.
"Saru—"
Freya let out a scream and flew straight towards a beast figure stuck upside down in the dirt.
The other party had a claw-shaped mark on his brown fat buttocks, and she remembered very well how it came about, so she recognized it at a glance.
"Freya! Wait—"
Maga dodged in front of her friend, flailing her wings and whipping up a whirlwind that swept Saru's body off the mound of dirt.
The part of his waist up had been bitten off by an unknown object, and only half of his body remained, more on the mound than in the dirt.
"See those corridors? That dwarf was right in the afternoon, the wormman lied to us! Maga's words calmed Freya, and she looked around to see that there were indeed many holes in the ground that had been bulldozed by the air waves.
"What's that?" She suddenly saw two trails of footprints, which were particularly clear on the loose soil.
"Human footprints? Come over and take a look, maybe they're not dead yet! Maga flapped her wings and flew straight over.
Just as the two of them were about to fly, the mound where the footsteps disappeared suddenly staggered, and a hand poked out of it.
“Wins-Elorrhuca-Sasita”
Magah, who had returned to her human form in the air, uttered a series of awkward incantations, spat out the last three syllables, and a hurricane swept the mound of dirt along with the three people inside.
At the same time, a thick mass of vines rose from the ground and quickly wrapped around the three of them.
The two of them landed, and the vines happened to roll up and send the three of them over.
Maga frowned and said, "What are you—"
"Please save him! Please! ”
The grizzled female swordsman suddenly broke free from the vines and grabbed her hand, and the eagerness of the other party made her hesitate slightly, and she forgot to dodge.
What a mistake, if this was an assassin, I would have died. Maga quietly let go of her hand and took a step back vigilantly.
Seeing that her vines were broken free, Freya was also a little displeased, frowning and urging the magic power again, several vines surrounded from all sides, like a spirit snake out of a hole, and wrapped the three of them tightly again.
Although Sulia struggled as best she could, the injuries caused by the explosion far beyond Mu Yan's description made her powerless to resist.
At this moment, a voice came from overhead.
"Captain Maga, it's a signal for an enemy attack."
"What?"
Maga and Freya looked up, and at some point countless meteors rose in the sky, blooming like fireworks, and then forming the claws of a cheetah.
At the same time, the voice of Haza seems to be heard from the market area.
……
Five minutes ago.
Haza had not been far out of the tavern when he saw the she-bear who had questioned him standing up with her huge head shaking.
"Is that you?"
"Don't move!"
Both spoke at the same time.
Haza held the staff in both hands and cautiously glanced back to make sure there were no sneak attackers before speaking: "I remember who you said is, it's definitely Gustavo's bastard!" ”
"Gustavo? Isn't that your patriarch? Suzanne opened her mouth wide, and the bear's face was full of incredulity.
"He is the only one who can conjure up so many tricks and borrow so many names!" Haza added in his heart that only his taste was so heavy.
"Then take me to him!" Suzanne pounced excitedly, and Haza hurriedly took a few steps back.
"Look around, what happened during the time I passed out?"
Hearing him say this, Suzanne noticed something strange around her, she felt very tired, as if she had just experienced a fierce battle, but she could not remember anything, she remembered that she lost her mind when she heard the two familiar names.
"By the way, what about Condo?" She hurriedly searched around.
"I'm here ......"
The impact was so strong that it sent Condo flying out and embedded deep in the wall. Now that others are sober, they can't get down.
A man and a bear hurriedly ripped him off, and then found the law enforcement captain embedded even deeper. The latter seemed to be reduced to Condo's pads of flesh and was knocked unconscious.
"Get out of the way, I'll come."
Haza held his staff and muttered words in his mouth.
Soon, thick vines sprang out of the ground one after another, piercing into the walls and wriggling, and the law enforcement captain soon fell from the loose bricks.
However, Haza's vines seemed to have touched something that should not be touched, just like the most core piece of the carefully built building block wall was stabbed off, and the moment the law enforcement captain was dragged out by Condo, the entire section of the wall collapsed without warning.
The collapse of this section of the wall was like the first domino being knocked down, and the walls that were crumbling under the impact fell one after another, and for a while the dust was flying, the smoke and dust were filled, and the fire was much smaller.
However, when the dust cleared and vision was restored, the dirty corners that had been hidden in the shadows were revealed to everyone......
The corpses of the corpses, the sticky juice, the scattered internal organs, the pungent smell, and the expressionless Ant-Man seemed to be completely undisturbed, mechanically repeating the cruel act.
The visual impact was too strong, and the people who were awakened by the sound of the explosion were still in a sluggish state, and for a while there was only the burning beep and pungent smell in the air.
Suddenly, two stubby figures fell from the sky, and it seemed that this posture was from Shangcheng District. And with that their unseemly screams in a quiet atmosphere.
"Jin Li, you TM said there is a shortcut!?"
"I remember there's a wall down here, ahhh
Haza's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly used vines to help them land safely.
As soon as the two dwarves landed, they saw the scene in the corner, and their disgust for the insects made them have no time to thank them, and rushed forward with a giant axe the size of a door panel.
"What are you doing? That's the culprit, not yet!? ”
Still Jin Li's brain is flexible, he shouts as he runs.
Haza seemed to come to his senses at this moment, and he waved his staff and shouted:
"Imotru is under enemy attack, all the valley walkers send a signal to me for that bastard Gustavo to see!"
His voice reverberated through the magic area under the blessing of the magic.
Everyone woke up from a dream.
