"How do you feel like you've heard this sound somewhere?" I muttered to myself in confusion.

Ashford nodded as well. "It was like the sound of the wind, like the screaming of the air at high speed, like the sound of water boiling." "Oh no, it's magma!"

The last sentence was shouted by the two of us, as smoke was already rising from the hole below. The yellowish gas, mixed with the smell of rotten eggs, sprayed from the hole in the ground, and at first it could be seen that it was semi-volatile, and then it simply turned into a cylindrical jet like rocket exhaust, during which large rocks could be seen being hit several kilometers into the air with the air current, and then smashed somewhere.

With an increasingly terrifying burst of high-pressure steam, the earth near the cave entrance began to peel off and rush into the air with the air current. As the dirt disappeared, the hole in the ground began to grow larger, but the increase in the outlet did not reduce the intensity of the air flow, but rather the jet became more and more terrifying. The air flow at the entrance of the cave had begun to emit a shrill strange cry due to the high-pressure jet, and the nearby creatures began to retreat as far as possible, and even the corpse insects manipulated the corpse to run backwards, but the big guy never moved.

The ground shook more and more, and the dirt and rocks on the nearby ground began to bounce on the ground. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a ball of mud the size of a football suddenly flew into the air near the previous hole, and a hole of equal size appeared under the mud. High-pressure steam spewed out of the cave and gradually widened it, but no one paid attention to it anymore because new ones were appearing nearby. Centered on the previous big hole, a large number of small holes appeared one after another, and the extra holes not only did not show any signs of a drop in air pressure, but spewed faster and faster, and the air was filled with a stench of sulfur.

"What the hell did your Zerg legion summon?" Ashford looked at the scene in front of him and asked nervously, "Isn't there a small volcano?" I don't want my subway cross to become a second Pomphila! ”

"To be honest, I don't know what's inside, I don't think there should be any danger, after all, my Zerg army knows that we are defending one side, so no matter what bugs are sent out, it won't hurt your side."

Almost as soon as I finished speaking, there was a sudden tearing sound in the ground, and a crack suddenly appeared on the surface. With the appearance of the cracks, a large amount of magma began to gush out of the ground. Ashford began to spin around when he saw the magma, and I didn't know how to explain it to him. can only comfort him first and reassure him. Fortunately, the magma field did not emerge quickly, and with the further expansion of the crack, the magma suddenly gushed out flew upwards violently, and then smashed to the ground again, and at the same time, large areas of red-hot rocks underground began to roll to both sides, and the magma surged violently as if it was boiling. Suddenly, a black line appeared in the magma, and then the black line quickly rose upwards and squeezed the magma to both sides. We quickly confirmed that it was the back of some kind of creature, but it was definitely not your average thing to come out of the lava.

The black back is smooth and shiny. As it ascended, all the nearby magma slid to both sides, and we soon saw a large black ridge on which it was smooth enough to illuminate a human mirror. The viscous magma doesn't have any adhesion at all on this smooth back, and we only see red sparks sliding down the back.

As the back elevated, the supporting legs under it finally appeared. My first reaction was surprise, because this thing looks like a ladybug, and its whole body is completely hemisphere, and its head and body are tightly connected to it, and it doesn't even have a neck.

The black ladybug quickly burrowed out of the ground, and everyone saw a flash of red light on its head, followed by the nearby magma that quickly condensed into rock, and only a few places were still steaming. I didn't expect a monster to come out of lava to be sweaty and ice-based. The method of cooling the magma just now is clearly cryophytic.

The enemy camp is also keeping a close eye on the creatures in front of them. They also want to know what the hell this big guy is capable of. Out of a tentative purpose, the other party quickly sent a small group of corpse worms to make a tentative attack. However, when these corpse insects walked in front of the monster, they suddenly and inexplicably evaporated from the world. Not disappearing in a general sense. It's really evaporating. There was nothing left but a cloud of smoke.

"Is this a fire or an ice ground?"

"Looks like it's a dual-system land!" I snatched the Ashford amplification circle and shouted to the front, "Rush forward." Burn all those corpses to ashes. ”

The big bug is indeed the thing that the queen bred. Extremely responsive to our voices. Almost as soon as I finished shouting, two small horns suddenly protruded from its head. Then between the two horns began to shine a dazzling white arc. The small arc of electricity flickered and danced between the two horns. Then suddenly a small black hole opened in the middle of the arc. With the arc of lightning, the hole began to expand rapidly. Eventually, it became a large hole with a diameter of more than one meter. The big worm pointed the hole at a large field of corpse worms. Then suddenly the body fell down. The hole suddenly turned white at the same time. All they saw was a blinding pillar of light shooting straight into the swarm of corpses. Everything that was hit by the white light, whether it was living things or land, disappeared in an instant. Nothing can hold on to this guy's ground for even a second.

"It's terrifyingly powerful!" Ashford's mouth was open, and he didn't know how to praise it. If it weren't for this, it wouldn't strafe. It is estimated that the enemy should choose to retreat. After all, such a powerful weapon is too exaggerated. If the big bug had moved its body and made the pillar of light want to sweep across a sector, it would definitely have been able to take down a large area of enemies. It's a pity that it can only shoot straight beams. And the time was over in just over a second.

Although the power is too concentrated. However, the powerful attack of the big bug still frightened the enemy a lot. Then the other party instantly gave up his plan to deal with this big guy with corpse worms. They began to send out ranged heavy units to bombard the big bugs.

Although the attack power of the big bug is very strong, the defense ability is not good, and the attack method seems to be too simple. It was quite helpless under enemy fire, and could only fire the white light again and again to return fire, although it was extremely powerful, it was too small to interfere with the overall battle situation. I also saw that the shortcomings of this big guy were almost as obvious as his advantages, and simply asked the queen to summon it back. This kind of thing can only be used to deter the enemy, and it is really not cost-effective to waste it on the battlefield.

With the retreat of the big bugs, the army of corpse worms on the other side began to storm again, but new creatures soon appeared on our side. The magma layer on the ground suddenly exploded again, and then a large number of black smoke ribbons were seen coming out from under the ground.

"What's coming out of here?" Ashford mistook the black smoke for smoke from underground. I reached out and summoned it. Then a cloud of black smoke suddenly broke away from the other black smoke and flew into my hand. I reached out to Ashford and let him look at him before he cried out in surprise. "It's a bug."

I nodded. "It's a bug, my parasite just told me that these little things are called cloud worms. Because they are much smaller than normal ants, and their numbers are too large, when they gather together, they will look like a large dark cloud, hence the name cloud worm. ”

"What's the use of this thing?"

"Eat." I put it simply, "They eat everything, and they're fast." ”

"I think I kind of understand what they're for."

While we were talking, the cloud worms that had come out of the ground had gathered into a large black cloud in the air, and black cloud worms were still emerging from the hole behind us. These little creatures don't fly fast in the air, at most about the same speed as a human running at full speed. If the more agile monsters can run away, but the number of these guys covering the sky and the sun is really terrifying, and ordinary people are easily surrounded by them, and once they are surrounded, there is no possibility of running.

The army of corpse insects in front of them was still rushing forward, and they were also a race that won by numbers, so they didn't care about these clouds, but the moment the first row of corpses came into contact with the black clouds, a mutation occurred. I saw that the corpses that were controlled by corpse insects in front of them suddenly began to disappear rapidly, as if they were weathered. The first is the disappearance of the cadre's epidermis, followed by the rapid thinning of the muscle layer. The corpses stuck their heads out to see what was going on, but as soon as they stuck their heads out, they immediately retracted as if they had been electrocuted. But just now a layer of skin has been peeled off their heads. The corpses quickly dissolved, and finally fell to the ground because the muscles could not support the movement of the bones. As soon as the corpses with nowhere to hide began to struggle violently as soon as they were exposed to the black mist, there was no place for their bodies to cover their bodies. So their struggles don't make much difference. Luckily, this struggle usually doesn't last long, as a corpse worm exposed to a black cloud is left with nothing left in no more than fifteen seconds at most.

The army of corpse insects quickly disappeared in the black clouds, and Ashford shouted excitedly to cheer on the insects. The head of the corpse worm was eventually forced to burrow, and it began to spit out a lot of acid, and the effect was also very good, and a large number of cloud worms were eliminated. However, the number of cloud insects is so large that it is terrifying, although the corpse insect mother can kill hundreds of thousands of cloud insects in an instant, but this killing speed is still not fast enough for cloud insects. I have checked the attributes of the cloud worm just now, and the level classification of these little things is actually not level one but level 100, but this level 100 is not the individual cloud worm, but the cloud insect community. There is no such unit as a cloud insect individual in the system attributes, they are born in a community, and the attributes only say that a community includes 1 to 100,000 individuals, and the specific number is not even said. The cloud insects on the battlefield now charge in millions of colonies. So there is no point in exterminating millions of individuals.

The black clouds are rapidly getting bigger. Devouring creatures is not ineffective. Cloud worms reproduce in the process of devouring living beings, and in nature they absorb the health of enemies to reproduce themselves. A cloud insect colony has 10,000 health. As long as they devour and reduce the enemy's health by 20,000, they will split into two colonies, and the more enemy health they consume, the faster they will reproduce.

The Anglo-French forces quickly realized that the corpse worms could not deal with the black clouds, and they reacted quickly to withdraw the mother worms. The remaining corpse worms instinctively ran backwards after losing their command, but the cloud worms did not stop there, and they also swept towards the position of the British and French forces with the corpse worms.

The Anglo-French forces found that the black clouds were rolling over, and there was some panic, and long-range strikes were useless for these little things. The archer's arrows can indeed kill a lot of cloud insects along the way, but the number of ground killed is so small that the total number of cloud insects is negligible, so shooting is equivalent to not shooting. As for the cannon with the explosion, the killing effect was good, but it was a question of how many shells the Anglo-French army could waste in this way. Comparatively, the mage's attack effect is not bad. This is especially true for spells that are small in power but large in area, such as the Shockwave of the Qi system. This spell has little effect on the average player. However, it is very effective against cloud insects, and a large area can be killed in a single release. But the problem is that there are too few people in this kind of spell that seemed impractical before, and only a few mages who can do this trick can't kill so many cloud worms.

Ashford was almost dancing with joy watching the black clouds roll towards the enemy's main formation on the city wall here, but I was not as optimistic as him, after all, I had done this way of winning with extreme numbers before, and all such extreme things were basically very extreme, and the effect on ordinary enemies was extremely good. However, the death of the nemesis is extremely fast, so I didn't expect the cloud worms to drive all the enemies away, at most it was to harass them.

While we were on the sidelines, the cloud worm finally succeeded in getting involved in the enemy's main position. The horses and spears in the front row didn't mean anything to these little things, and the heavy shieldmen certainly didn't have anything to do with the cloud worms, but their weapons, weapons, and armor quickly disappeared in the black clouds. A warrior's spear into the cloud vanished into the cloud as quickly as a pencil in a planer, and even the metal head was gnawed away.

Due to the complete lack of ability to counterattack this terrifying attack, the British and French troops began to become very unstable, and some people in the front row wanted to use large-scale spells to kill cloud insects, but they were not allowed to use such spells in the queue at all, because once they used it, the most people who died were definitely their own people.

As the cloud worm advanced, the panicked emotion soon swept through the entire front of the enemy army. As the armor was rapidly gnawing, some people's bodies began to be attacked. Worse than in previous cases where the corpse worm was attacked, the player will feel a piercing pain as soon as they are bitten. However, since the player does not die until they are gnawed, it is not surprising that the screams that follow. However, this miserable cry greatly affected the feelings of the people behind them, and the entire legion began to become chaotic because of this.

"That's a good thing." Ashford patted me on the shoulder and complimented.

"Don't get too excited, I feel that there is an abnormal concentration of energy behind the enemy army, and I may be about to make a big move. My army of bugs is tied to energy, so I wouldn't let them fill this hole with their lives if it wasn't necessary. ”

"Anyway, you can do it yourself. As long as I don't lose the city, I'll be fine. "Asford understands what I'm saying, after all, he's also a long-term leader, and he knows these things very well. Generally, the things that can be used for combat in the guild will not be free, except for personal combat power, everything must be linked to money, and the more powerful the combat power, the more it will cost, this is basically the law. The only thing you can do is to choose the most cost-effective one from the many products like a product, and we guild presidents basically do this kind of thing every day, so we can't understand it or not.

Sure enough, my guess soon came true. Enemy area-killing spells soon appeared. With a flash of red light. Large clouds of burning fire rolled almost above the enemy's heads. The black cloudworm is too small. It didn't have any resistance to fire at all, and it was burned to ashes almost the moment it touched the fire cloud. In order to completely remove cloud worms. The enemy even did not hesitate to let the fire cloud roll through their own team, but due to the fast advance speed of the fire cloud, the players were only slightly burned, which did not affect their movement at all, but the cloud insects that were too small were all burned in the air.

"Looks like your cloud worms can help us so much." Seeing this scene, Ah Xiufu could only reluctantly let me recruit the army of cloud worms in advance.

I didn't say anything more and just recruited all the cloud worms back. The Queen's classes are easy to use, but they're too expensive and time-consuming, and I don't plan on getting them into battle on a large scale just yet. As I communicated my intentions to the Queen, the dark clouds on the battlefield immediately turned back and disappeared again from the hole in the ground.

Seeing that the black cloud disappeared, the other party finally took the fire cloud back. From the city walls, we can see that the enemy army began to change formations rapidly, and the whole platoon of heavy shield infantry was moved to the front of the battle formation, these guys wrapped in steel were simply mobile tin cans, of course, the advantage of this was that unless they were hit by artillery, ordinary spells and bows and arrows would not cause any damage to them. Behind these humanoid cans is a phalanx of hoplites with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, this class has good defense and attack, the only drawback is that it is slow, and it is also one of the higher defense classes in the entire legion.

Ashford felt very strange to see the enemy put on such a formation. "What are they doing here?"

"Standard siege formations. How? Can't even see this? ”

"It's not. Of course I know what it is, but why are they in such a formation? ”

I looked at Asford in amazement. "Don't be nervous when the enemy is insane!"

"What's wrong with me?"

"Please, are you Europeans, don't keep learning the tactics of our Chinese?"

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't you notice?" I deliberately pretended to be surprised and looked at Ashuford. "After all this time, you should notice that your opponent is not using your most common attack in Europe. The battle was strange from the start. The first feint attack is very abnormal, although you also have a feint in Europe, but you do not have the habit of using cannon fodder and mixing advanced troops, this is a typical oriental strategy. And the later attacks, what tactics did your enemies use? Surprise soldiers from start to finish, have you seen any European attacks? ”

"You mean the commander of the other side is Japanese?"

"I don't know if it's Japanese or not, but at least the other party has been influenced by oriental culture quite a long way. But you don't have to worry about this, because from the current situation, it seems that the other party has changed the commander. The previous successive defeats made it impossible for the commander to sway everyone's opinion, so the tactics of the Anglo-French army changed back to the European style. I didn't expect you to adapt so well, and you immediately adapted to the oriental-style attack, and you actually thought the European-style offensive formation was very strange. ”

"Hahaha, don't you say I really haven't paid attention, this seems to be our most common battle formation!"

"No, it's not." My smile suddenly narrowed, and I quickly pointed in the direction to Ashuford. "Look over there. They didn't change the command at all, and this bastard actually tried to confuse us. Hmph, it is not so easy to imitate the war theory of our Chinese. Since you want to play, I'll play with you. ”

"What the hell are you talking about?" Asford looked at me with a smile and waited for my explanation.
