Li Yuanlei killed these iron-eating locusts with great vigor and did not have much impact on the battle situation.

In the wasteland, screams rang out in confusion. Countless iron-eating locusts emerged from the yellow sand, catching them by surprise.

The formation was already in disarray, and while everyone was turning their attention to the iron-eating locusts, the desert locusts were burrowing into the net again and attacking everyone here from above.

For a while, whether it is a novice adventurer or a warrior in Caro Town, you have to take care of both the top and the bottom. Many people have suffered even more from this, either by iron-eating locusts in their legs, or by desert locusts who are surrounded and bitten fiercely.

The scene was chaotic.

No one can pay attention to the deer side anymore. There are also many iron-eating locusts that gnaw on the deer from the bottom, and after a while, they gnaw out of the deer holes.

Giant locusts burrow through large holes. In a hurry, Li Yuan desperately swung his sword and killed seven or eight in succession. But in the face of thousands of locust swarms, this achievement is insignificant.

"Give up the second line of defense! Abandon the second line of defense! Brother Zhang stabbed down with a single shot and took away an iron-eating locust. Two more desert locusts landed on him, and he grabbed them in his hands, pinched his head, and clattered them to death.

The dark green, viscous liquid gushes out of the desert locust's head, disgusting.

When the turquoise light lit up, a giant locust had already pounced on him, and the opener bit down on Brother Zhang's head.

Brother Zhang's heart was awe-inspiring, and he pushed away the giant locust, and then stabbed it in the stomach with a shot, and it was killed.

Hearing Brother Zhang's words, the novice adventurers and the people in Caro Town fought and retreated.

"Yin Yin!" Li Yuan also killed an iron-eating locust with a sword, and shouted.

Lin Yinyin's cherry lips opened lightly and began to sing. The crimson light on the magic book made a big splash, and then turned into a fireball, and suddenly, it hit the deer.

The deer caught fire in an instant. But because it was wood, the speed of the fire was slower, so Lin Yinyin released the fireball technique one after another, igniting several places.

At the same time, Wu Zhi also cooperated with Wu Yao to support Lin Yinyin through candles and lanterns.

Finally, flames rose into the sky, and black smoke billowed out. The fire engulfed the deer, then quickly crawled onto the net and spread in all directions.

Taking advantage of the respite, Li Yuan and the others retreated to the third line of defense in embarrassment. The number of people has decreased considerably, and more than 30 people have died in this wave alone.

Li Yuan's face was heavy. At the same time that something happened to their side, it also represented the strength of the locust army on the other side.

Fortunately, Lin Xiaoxin had a strong sense of consciousness and tried her best to kill some of the iron-eating locusts or giant locusts that had eaten people, otherwise these guys would be their most troublesome opponents.

The third line of defense rises.

But Li Yuan's expression was not relaxed at all. Admittedly, they took into account the terrifying devouring power of the iron-eating locusts.

Iron can be devoured, so why is it difficult for them to eat these woods?

Therefore, they did have a targeted policy against iron-eating locusts. The deer in the third row are coated with venom extracted from the energy source of the green slime and processed through a special process.

Based on their previous experience, using this venom against iron-eating locusts is the best choice. As long as it gets a little bit of it, the iron-eating locust will go limp, lose its strength, and even the carapace on its body will soften down.

In normal times, such a method would be more than enough to deal with iron-eating locusts, but now ......

Li Yuan: Needless to say, they have already seen it. In this battle, the leader of the desert locusts is equivalent to directly releasing the desert locusts, leaving them to fend for themselves and move freely, and the main main forces are giant locusts and iron-eating locusts.

No, to be precise, the main force is only iron-eating locusts. Except for the giant locusts that showed a certain amount of neatness at the beginning, they all scattered into a pot of porridge later.

At that time, the leader of the Desert Locusts had concentrated all his forces on the iron-eating locusts and used them to attack from underground.

I don't know if this is the result of thinking or instinct, there is no doubt that the Desert Locust Commander has already caught Li Yuan and them off guard.

Of course, Li Yuan still hopes that it is instinctive rather than the result of thinking. At least instinct is the same, but the result of thinking is not.

Only now, even instinctive reactions have completely disrupted their rhythm. They hadn't expected the iron-eating locusts to attack from underground, so they hadn't prepared for it.

What's more, even if you guess, it's impossible to prepare!

"What should I do?" Brother Zhang saw that those iron-eating locusts opened their jaws again, broke through the yellow sand, and after burrowing into it, his face was gloomy and almost dripping.

The novice adventurers and the warriors of Caro Town are even more pale, and the previous scene is still vivid. If it weren't for Li Yuan's timely reaction and timely stop loss, the number of deaths would have been only one-tenth, and morale would have completely collapsed at this time.

And now, they are not much better, and they all subconsciously look at Li Yuan and them, as if asking if he still has a plan to deal with it.

"What to do??" Sensing their gaze, Brother Zhang asked in a low voice. Takumaki's face also showed a look of anxiety.

The others didn't know, but he and Takumu knew very well that they had nothing to do.

"The problem lies with the Desert Locust Commander, we lurk over and attack the Desert Locust Commander directly!" Li Yuan gritted his teeth and said.

"How is this possible?" Brother Zhang lost his voice. Not to mention whether you can pass through this dense swarm of locusts, even if you do, how can you quickly find the Desert Locust Leader?

"We have a way, Brother Zhang will trouble you to lead people to defend it, if you can't hold it, retreat in time, and drag these locust swarms as much as possible to create opportunities for us." Li Yuan said in a deep voice.

"You're all right?" Brother Zhang was still a little worried: "It's really not okay, we retreat, it's just a loss of some supplies, the key is to live a little bit." ”

"It's not that I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, I'm really saying it from the bottom of my heart." Brother Zhang was afraid of misunderstanding, so he added.

"I want to try." Li Yuanzheng said: "If this encirclement and suppression fails, we may not be able to gather morale and encircle and suppress again." ”

"And if we leave it alone, with the current base of locust swarms, it will not be long before the number of locusts can be completely compensated, and even more than now. When the time comes, what awaits us is a catastrophe. ”

"What's more, if someone is behind this incident," Li Yuan said his guess: "Then when the time comes, when these locusts occupy this island and use it as a base to reproduce and evolve, after some time of accumulation, it will inevitably endanger the Tian Yuan Continent." We're afraid there's no escape! ”

If that 'spirit' was behind the scenes...... Li Yuan added secretly. With his understanding of that 'spirit', Li Yuan didn't believe that his ambition would just stay in the novice village. So this time, they can't lose!

…………

While Li Yuan and the others were fighting fiercely, on the south side of the island, almost at the end of the mist, a figure and a fluttering bird shadow walked on the blurred sand dunes with a distorted vision.

"Dead ghosts, dragons, when are we going to get there?" His Royal Highness Meow Meow gasped and said.

"It should be, it should be soon, right?" Ah Long also hung his hands, stuck out his tongue, and shook his body forward.

"How many times have you said that?"

"I don't know, maybe five times? Six times? ”

"! It's been a dozen times, right? ”

"Is there one?"

"Didn't you?"

"By the way, Dragon, we've been walking for so long, and we haven't reached yet, won't you break the formation?" His Royal Highness Meow questioned.

"How is that possible? As Lord Huo Siqi's right-hand man, a great alchemist, can't I even break this little breaking formation? ”

"Then tell me, how do we break the formation?"

"How do you break the formation? Hum! It's not simple, we're going clockwise now, after taking a solid circle, going 12 times counterclockwise, and then ......"

"And how many laps have we walked now?"

"Uh......"

…………

Also in the depths of the wasteland near the sea, there was a black fog that obscured the sky.

In the silence, there is a faint echo of the low chanting sound, the strange and inhuman voice, accompanied by the dark wind rolling the black mist, like a ghost singing in a low voice, everywhere is strange and ominous.

In the depths of the black mist, there stood two figures, all dressed in black cloaks, the brims of which hung from them, covering their faces.

In front of them, a figure in a black cloak sat cross-legged. He stood in front of him with one hand upright, and in the other hand he held a scroll, his lips twitching. The sound of chanting came from his mouth.

In front of him, a black mist continued to pour into a large ovary.

Thump! The ovaries suddenly beat like a heartbeat, and they emitted an eerie, green glow like moss in hell.

When the two people sitting behind them saw this scene, their faces couldn't help but be happy.

"It's coming!"

At this moment, the black mist suddenly rolled, causing the ovary to absorb the black mist, suddenly trembling violently, and the already lit up blue-green light suddenly dimmed.

"Damn, those two bastards aren't gone yet?" Among the two people standing, someone waved his hand, and the black mist in front of him rolled for a while, forming a mirror-like object, and the two people reflected in the middle were Ah Long and His Royal Highness Meow Meow.

At this time, Ah Long and His Royal Highness Meow Meow somehow scuffled together, and it was the two of them who exchanged fists and feet, causing the black mist to surge.

The man shouted angrily, "I'll kill them!" ”

"Don't! The matter has reached a critical point, and it is not appropriate to cause chaos. The people on the side hurriedly stopped him: "They can get here without being discovered by us, and their strength should not be underestimated." ”

"What's that, now the two of them look very tired, I just need to sneak behind that four-eyed boy through the formation, and I can ......"

"Don't act rashly!" A majestic voice sounded, interrupting his words. The man sitting cross-legged on the ground stopped chanting at some point and raised his head slightly: "Don't forget what our mission is!" ”

With that, he lowered his head again and continued to recite the next verse in his mouth.
