Chapter 203: The Insect Shadow Reappears
Yinshui River, a long river with a somewhat turbid color. The www.biquge.info of the pen and the fun pavilion poured down from the Tianchao Mountains, and the rolling yellow and turbid river water ran into the distance like the neighing of horses, disappearing into the horizon.
Although it is in a semi-desert area, the flow of the Yinshui River is not small, and the upper part of the river has nine bends and eighteen bends, scouring countless triangular oases and nurturing countless biomes.
Looking at this long river flowing in front of his eyes, Lei Chuan suddenly remembered that at that moment, on the blue planet, there was a big river called "Yellow River".
Suddenly, Lei Chuan laughed self-deprecatingly:
"When did I feel so sentimental."
Shaking his head, no longer looking at Yin Shuihe, Lei Chuan turned around and left, there are still a lot of things to do!
……
According to the strategy originally given by the Iron God Ministry, the Alliance's next route was to go all the way north, about two thousand miles, and enter the narrow strip of land separated between the end of the Tianchao Mountain Range and the Jade Dragon Mountain Range, so as to reach the fortress of the Tyran Kingdom, the Heart of the Holy Flame.
The most fundamental reason why you don't continue from the underworld is the terrain. In this underworld where the Tyran Kingdom is located, the terrain is intricate, and there are many powerful creatures entrenched, so Lei Chuan did not consider it, but returned to the surface after arriving at the location of the Yin Shui River.
Don't underestimate the next road, it's more dangerous than before!
The plain separated by the two mountain ranges is extremely long, and the main thing to watch out for in this terrain is the enemy who may rush out from both sides of the mountain range, and it is very likely that the other party will make dumplings.
Therefore, the investigation must be done well.
These days, the scout's work is under a lot of pressure. All of the Alliance's scouts were dispatched to scout the surrounding terrain and the Scarab Empire's pursuers that might continue to appear.
Lei Chuan also raised a spy satellite at the first time to reconnoiter the Quartet, but he did not detect any major movements.
In response to the next question, the top of the alliance held several elders' meetings in a row.
"I think it will be necessary for the Coalition to control the speed of travel to twenty miles per day in order to flexibly respond to the danger that may suddenly arise!"
"I don't think so, the alliance must speed up, three or five hundred miles a day is a must, cross this place as quickly as possible, and capture the Heart of the Holy Flame by surprise before the insects can react!"
"How do you know if the bugs are prepared?"
"In the past six months, we have almost all been in the underground world, so it's no wonder that those insects can know!"
……
The elders expressed their opinions, and no one was convinced, but they were not satisfied with the efficiency of their work, and the current situation did not have time for them to argue. Soon, the best solution came out:
Divide the team into several parts, the vanguard team and the team behind the palace deploy a large number of warriors, the remaining warriors guard the middle army, the elders are all pressed in the position behind the palace, the highest combat power is led by Lei Chuan, and Concubine Yanhuang and the goddess Fengxi lead the vanguard team to reach the heart of the holy flame first, and after successfully arriving at the destination, they will send a message to march with one team after another, until the team behind the palace, it must be solved within ten days.
The journey from here to the Heart of the Holy Flame is less than five thousand miles, and ten days is already the limit of speed.
However, this proposal may seem cruel, but it lives up to the name of "best".
Splitting the team into several parts may seem like weakening strength, but in fact, it is preserving the vitality of the alliance, and retreating immediately if something is wrong, like a gecko cutting off its tail, in order to protect itself.
The first is to deploy superior forces at the beginning and tail to deal with the danger in front and the threat in the rear. If the Tylen Kingdom takes the lead in attacking, it will not change its troops in such a narrow terrain, and even if it is defeated by the combat power of Concubine Yanhuang, it can be delayed for a period of time, waiting for the arrival of a large army.
The team behind the hall is guarding the entrance, waiting for the pursuers of the Scarab Empire who may be chasing, and slowly retreats until they reach the Heart of the Holy Flame.
If the enemy is intercepted from the middle, it is even better, and the simultaneous attack of the head and tail is enough to annihilate the opponent in an instant.
Once the motion was introduced, it was approved by the vast majority of the elders, but the Scout's role was not diminished.
Even if there are countermeasures, if the strength of the other party is beyond their own imagination, then all strategies and calculations become a joke! Therefore, it is up to you to scout the possible enemy situation and find out the level of combat power of the other party.
……
"Hah, that's boring!"
Xia Yang lay bored in the grass, secretly and silently hiding behind a huge rock, and looked forward from time to time. He was joined by four or five people, both men and women.
"Why do we peek at a big toad taking a bath!"
He grumbled.
The cold woman lying beside him glanced at him indifferently, and saw that Xia Yang's eyes were hairy, and she was instantly a lot more honest.
"Any creature capable of threatening the Alliance is in the Scout Patrol Sequence!"
That's right, Xia Yang's scout team is tasked with monitoring a big toad, to be precise, this is a purple-gold dragon-patterned three-legged toad.
At a distance of more than ten paces from the Alliance scouts, there was a small puddle in which a large toad lay on its stomach.
This toad is about twenty meters in size, purple all over, and its body is densely covered with golden patterns, winding and coiling like a dragon, but the most peculiar thing is that it can only be seen on its legs, and a thin and long giant leg extends from the position of its abdomen downward. The name of the purple gold dragon pattern three-legged toad comes from this.
This is a desolate beast that is about to enter the ranks of supernatural species, and it can cause a lot of damage to the alliance without counting the top combat power, so Xia Yang and the others have been observing this toad for several days.
"Tsk, legend has it that the Purple Gold Dragon Pattern Three-legged Toad is a descendant of the true dragon, with the blood of the true dragon, and it has the effect of renewing life after taking it, I don't know if it's true or fake!"
Because it was too boring, Xia Yang began to ramble again. In this regard, the cold woman is also quite helpless. His captain is good at everything, and his skills as a scout are beyond his reach, but he doesn't have the basic quality necessary for scouts - silence!
Scouts are very patient, and it is not uncommon for them to hide in the shadows for dozens of days without eating or drinking, let alone speaking, in order to observe a target.
But Xia Yang is a very broken person, as if he is going to drown if he doesn't speak for a second. Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why I like him.
Thinking of this, the cold woman secretly glanced at Xia Yang, and a faint flush floated on her cheeks.
Suddenly, under his sight, Xia Yang stood up all of a sudden, and walked forward without saying a word, which immediately startled her, but she didn't dare to shout loudly, so she could only shout in a low voice:
"Captain, come back quickly!"
Xia Yang's action also alarmed the other scouts, and they all shouted in low voices. In their opinion, their captain must have smoked something crazy to do such an irrational thing.
Xia Yang walked forward step by step, looking at the motionless fat body of the purple gold dragon pattern three-legged toad, his eyes revealing a heavy doubt.
Strange, all this is so strange, obviously the pressure is still there, but why is the vitality fading bit by bit.
Perhaps because of the long-term communication with Xiao Meng, Xia Yang also learned the keen perception of the wolf, and since three or four days ago, he had noticed that something was wrong with the big toad.
Reduced frequency of activity...... Decreased breathing...... Sluggishness......
But it's weird, the power on it doesn't diminish in the slightest, it's like a ...... The bluff is so-so!
After a long time, the curiosity in Xia Yang's heart finally couldn't be suppressed, so he had such a bold behavior, this time, he must summon to solve this mystery, otherwise he will be worthy of my name as "Ace Scout"!
The shouts of his companions were heard in his ears, but Xia Yang ignored them, and instead quickened his pace, and came directly to the side of the Purple Gold Dragon Pattern Three-legged Toad, and slowly stretched out his hands and stuck them on the other party's slippery skin.
Seeing his move, the rest of the scouts' hearts jumped out of their throats.
Feel the slippery feeling in your hands, and the dryness and ...... hidden in the slippery Cold, Xia Yang's eyes widened, as if he had thought of something, and pushed the big toad with all his strength.
This push easily overthrew the big toad for a hundred years, which made all the scouts stunned.
When did the Purple Gold Dragon Pattern Three-legged Toad become so light?
The answer lies beneath it. A big hole was opened in the snow-white belly of the big toad, and the blood on the edge had already dried up, and there were bursts of terrifying chewing sounds from inside.
Xia Yang took off the spear on his back and stabbed it into the blood hole.
The sound of chewing stopped abruptly, and was replaced by a noisy and unpleasant hissing sound, like the sound of insects.
Insect chirp?!
Xia Yang's face changed drastically, and he pulled out the spear, only to see that at the tip of the spear, a creature the size of a human head kept struggling. It looks like a hybrid of mosquitoes and humans.
This is...... Bloodhead mosquitoes!
