Chapter 173: Stalling for Time

The awakened on the TV screen summoned their spirit pets and prepared to attack, blocking the path of the monster frog, and the battle was about to break out.

"Is this a national broadcast?" Chen Pi suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked Xu Nannan, it stands to reason that such a bloody scene should not be announced to the public without any editing, wouldn't that cause great panic among the people.

"No, this should be a special channel that is only available to a very small number of authoritative people from all walks of life." Xu Nannan said with a pale face, it seems that the bloody scene just now gave her a great impact, Xu Xiaohui is even worse than the enchantment, and now she is curled up on the sofa like a frightened rabbit.

The strange frog and the serpentine monster seemed to sense that these people who appeared in front of them were different from the humans before them, and stopped their devouring behavior and waited for them.

Chen Pi noticed that about a hundred meters behind the Awakened, a group of monks in Taoist robes were standing there with thirty or forty people, looking down on the entire city.

The monk at the head is called Tian Songzi, and he has always been a reclusive sect before the disaster.

Disaster strikes.

The monk went out.

"There are at least 50,000 casualties." Tian Songzi sighed in his heart.

From the sky above the city, he could see very clearly, not a very large urban area, full of desperate fleeing people, the road leading to the outside of the city has already been completely blocked by countless cars, these people can only leave here on foot, but they are lucky, in that direction, there are no monsters, the only few were also wiped out by them when they came along the way.

Tian Songzi's eyes fell in the direction of the South River, only to see that the smoke was billowing there, covering the sky and the sun, and the black and red flames jumped up dozens of meters high, which was a stray bullet hit an oil depot by the river and caused a fire, fortunately the wind was blowing in the direction of the South River, otherwise, the whole city would be shrouded in this black smoke.

"Senior brother, what do you think this strange frog is?" Tian Songzi's junior brother Tian Xinzi looked at the strange frog that couldn't see the edge at a glance below, and couldn't help but smack his tongue and ask, Senior Brother is well-read and knowledgeable, if he can recognize the true identity of this strange frog now, the following work will get twice the result with half the effort.

Tian Songzi frowned and thought about it again, but he was never able to connect the strange frog in front of him with any kind of monster he had seen in the classics, and he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Everyone must be more careful for a while, I have never heard of this monster, let alone know what is special about it, everyone must not act recklessly." ”

"Senior brother, what's so scary about these guys, they can't fly anyway, as long as we stand here and cast spells, we will definitely be able to catch them all unscathed." A young Taoist priest chuckled.

"Don't be so careless, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, if you don't want to be buried in the belly of the demon, it's better to act cautiously." Tian Songzi said solemnly.

Just when Tian Songzi repeatedly reminded his companions to be more careful, an earth-shattering cry of the strange frogs suddenly came from the group of strange frogs, which was so loud that it could be described as deafening.

The crowd was caught off guard by the sudden attack of the strange frog and almost fell from the air, and the awakened people led by Li Jian also seemed to be taken aback, and a few of them almost launched an attack.

A series of heart-rending screams came from below.

Tian Songzi and the others hurriedly looked for prestige, only to see five huge snake-like monsters rushing out from behind the awakened people at some point, exuding stench and bloody mouths, holding five poor teenagers, and the screams came from the mouths of those unfortunate teenagers.

Before everyone could react, the monster frogs had already swarmed up, fearlessly rushing towards the remaining awakened ones, and at the same time, the dozens of snake-shaped monsters in the square all raised their heads in unison, and just when everyone was confused, a human-shaped object was like a cannonball out of the chamber, hanging with the sound of whirring wind, and sprayed straight towards the two groups of Tian Songzi and Li Jian.

"Danger, everyone get out of the way." Tian Songzi and Li Jian shouted in unison, although neither of them could see what it was, but instinctively told them that this thing must not be contaminated in the slightest, otherwise there would definitely be big trouble.

The TV in front of them went black, and all the images disappeared without a trace, leaving a big suspense for Chen Pi and them.

Zhao Youcheng hurriedly came to the TV, and after fiddling with it for a few minutes, he stood up helplessly and said, "Senior, it seems that the aerial photography machine is damaged." ”

Tian Songzi looked at the embarrassed people, with a helpless face, but compared to the awakened people in white robes, Tian Songzi and their situation was much better, no one thought that this kind of snake-like monster would actually squirt out the dead corpse swallowed in the abdomen as a "bright weapon", the flesh and blood were blurred, and the dead corpses covered with rancid liquid could not withstand this violent spitting, and many of them scattered in mid-air, and the flesh and blood roared away, rushing towards the crowd.

Tian Songzi and the others were far away and stood relatively high, so the reaction time was relatively long, and the large pieces of flesh and blood were all lost, and they were just swept away by the aftermath.

But even so, half of the people in the team are colored to varying degrees because of this, although it is only a small meat ball, but the high-speed impact on the body is still unbearable for many people, and there is a rancid liquid contaminated on the meat ball, which has the ability to corrode, Tian Songzi guessed that this may be the gastric juice of the snake-shaped monster.

"You protect the seriously injured and evacuate first, you must be careful on the way." Tian Songzi sent someone to take away the three people who were seriously injured.

At this time, the awakened have launched a fierce attack on the monsters, an ice pick fell from the sky, like a dense raindrop smashed into the monster group on the square, a cluster of flames roared down, turning the square into a sea of fire, and those spirit pets suitable for hand-to-hand combat fell to the ground, rushed to the monster frog group and slaughtered, for a while, the monsters in the square were flying flesh and blood, and the piercing screams were repeated.

Among them, those serpentine monsters have become the key targets of the awakened, and seven or eight out of ten attacks are centered on them, and under the physical attacks of ice picks, flames, and spirit pets, the arrogant arrogance is immediately defeated.

But the frogs ignored this attack in the slightest, and launched one death after another, some squirting venom at the enemy, some jumping up and slamming into the spirit pets, and if it weren't for the high position of the Awoken, the venom they spewed would never have been reached, and the Awoken would never have been spared.

Li Jian was already furious, this round of attacks of the snake-shaped monster was the first to bear the brunt, almost more than seventy percent of the corpses were targeted by them, they were caught off guard and naturally suffered heavy losses, the three young awakened people were knocked off the spot and fell into the group of strange frogs, before Li Jian and they rescued, they were already covered by the frog group, in less than a minute, only the black bones were left on the ground, and more than ten people were affected, for a while, the casualties reached one-third of the total number.

This is still because the awakened people have summoned spirit pets, and the spirit pets have blocked a lot of deadly attacks for them in the attack, otherwise, the casualties will inevitably exceed half of the total number, Li Jian never thought that the monsters would give him a dismount, in recent years, except for the puppet people in the Sichuan-Chongqing airport, when has he ever eaten such a sullen.

And the most unfortunate thing is that those young trainee awakened teenagers, not only have to face the sudden attack from the underground snake monster, but also to resist the crazy attack of the monster frogs in front of them, the five teenagers who were attacked first have been silent, and the soft body was thrown by the snake monster into the group of strange frogs in the square, and in a blink of an eye, only the clothes were left on the ground, and many people were injured by the venom spewed out by the strange frogs, and let out a scream of extreme pain.

The young man in the lead loudly commanded his companions to block the attack of the monster frog, and at the same time led fifteen or sixteen people wielding long knives and river spears to carefully besiege the five snake-shaped monsters, the knives and guns in their hands did not look extraordinary, they could easily cut through the skin of the monsters, but they couldn't kill the monsters like spirit pets.

"Senior brother, what should we do?" Tian Xinzi looked at the scuffle below, turned his head and asked Tian Songzi, "Do you want to help them?" ”

Tian Songzi looked carefully, raised his head and looked at the group of strange frogs that were still surging on the highway leading to the sea, and said calmly: "It is enough to have them in the square, we are not here this time to wipe out these monsters and recover the city, but to buy more time, so that the citizens can evacuate, Tianxinzi, you take your junior disciples to block that street entrance, and try not to let the strange frogs come over." ”

"I understand." Tianxinzi said, "I will definitely not give them a chance to support here." ”

With that, he turned around and beckoned people to leave.

"Tianxinzi, remember, you must stand in the sky, someone must pay attention to the situation around you, if there is anything abnormal, withdraw immediately, these juniors and disciples will be handed over to you, you must not be careless." Tian Songzi said two more words uneasily.

"Senior brother, don't worry, I will be careful." Tianxinzi said solemnly.

Under the arrangement of Tianxinzi, a five-meter-high, six-meter-wide earthen wall at the top of the wall slowly rose from the ground, blocking the way of the strange frogs, but the strange frogs did not show weakness, and soon set up a "frog ladder" under the earthen wall, forming a slope composed of giant frogs, and the giant frogs behind did not hesitate to rush up the earthen wall.

"Put." As Tianxinzi broke off with a drink, the spells in everyone's hands were released one after another, and lightning and thunder fell from the sky, blasting the strange frogs on the earthen wall into flesh and blood, incomplete bones, and dark green blood flowing all over the ground.

The giant frogs that acted as "frog ladders" were also affected by this, and the giant frogs on the top were directly thrown out by the shock wave, while the giant frogs at the bottom that had been crushed to death were directly stunned.

But the frogs were not affected by this situation in the slightest, and the frogs behind continued to jump towards the earthen wall without hesitation, and in a short time, the "frog ladder" once again set up the earthen wall, and a large number of strange frogs rushed up like a tide.

Looking at the highway leading to the sea full of giant frogs, Tianxinzi couldn't help but smack his tongue in his heart: "How many giant frogs are there, I'm afraid there must be at least hundreds of thousands." ”

However, this did not affect his actions.

A new wave of attacks once again wiped out all the frogs on top of the earthen wall.

Without the continuous replenishment of the successor frog group, the strange frogs in the square were quickly cleared by the awakened, and the entire square, the corpses of the giant frogs were covered with a thick layer, like a dark green carpet, and the five snake-shaped monsters were killed by the heavenly pine nuts with thunder, which did those awakened a great favor.

"Daoist Tiansongzi, it seems that our blocking mission can come to an end, most of the citizens of Sichuan and Chongqing City have withdrawn from here, the army will arrive soon, and the rest of the things here should be left to them." While commanding his subordinates to collect the bones of those comrades who had died in the line of duty, Li Jian said to Tian Songzi who was standing beside him.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Tian Songzi shook his head and said, "If Poor Dao guessed well, these monsters can only be regarded as minions who fought in front of the station, and besides, only a small part of those snake-like monsters were punished, and most of them were still hiding underground, so I'm afraid I can't do anything about them, right?" ”

Li Jian nodded speechlessly, although there are many strange frogs, but there is no mortal threat to them, but this snake-shaped monster is not only extremely powerful, but also can travel through the ground at will, the most hateful thing is that it can threaten people in mid-air, at this time, I saw Tianxinzi quickly flew over from there.

"Senior brother, there are too many strange frogs to kill." Tian Xinzi shouted loudly, "We can only stop for a while, and the mana of our junior disciples will soon be exhausted." ”

The attack time interval of that strange frog was too small, and the people of Tianxinzi were almost very nervous about the time to breathe, and now the corpse of the strange frog on the earthen wall was already two meters high.

"And I found that some strange frogs have left that road and crawled to other roads, I'm afraid they plan to take a detour to come here, senior brother, you better be prepared." Tian Xinzi continued, "Actually, I have an idea, I don't know if it will work. ”

"Tell me about it." Li Jiandao.

Tianxinzi said: "There are too many strange frogs, if you want to rely on us to block it from entering the city with spells, I'm afraid it will be very difficult, I see that there are a lot of vehicles parked on the road over there, presumably the gasoline in the car is ......"

"I'm afraid the Taoist doesn't have to think about this." Li Jian interrupted Tianxinzi's words and said, "Now except for some special vehicles, ordinary civilian vehicles are all electric vehicles and do not use gasoline, but I remember that there is an oil refinery over there, which should have what we need." ”

Tianxinzi's intention has already been understood, it is impossible to stop this group of frogs surging like a tide just by relying on the mana of dozens of them, and when there is always a loss of manpower, at this time, with the help of a large amount of oil, they can save a lot of things to stop the frog group here.

"But it's easy to cause a fire, and the slightest mistake can cause a city fire." Tian Songzi said hesitantly, "This place is close to the river, the wind is very strong, and the wind direction is unstable, so it is very dangerous. ”

In fact, he also thought of this method, but finally chose to give up because of this reason.

Tian Xinzi immediately understood Tian Songzi's worries, and immediately lowered his head, no longer speaking, Li Jian was also muttered in his heart by Tian Songzi's words, burning the entire city, he didn't dare to bear this kind of danger.

"Huh? Let's see, why did a black cloud suddenly appear there? At this time, a young voice came from behind Li Jian.

Looking in the direction the young awakened man was pointing, a black cloud appeared in the sky, covering most of the sky.

"Blood-devouring demon bats!" The faces of Tian Songzi and Tian Xinzi turned pale and bloodless.

"How can there be so many?" Tian Songzi muttered.

"Oh my God, those retreating citizens of Sichuan and Chongqing are in that direction." Li Jian's eyes were in a daze.

Without waiting for the people here to react, I saw the black clouds in mid-air falling rapidly, and then there was an earth-shattering scream from afar, obviously the blood-devouring demon bat group had rushed into the crowd and started to kill, Tian Songzi's heart suddenly tightened, there were hundreds of thousands of ordinary people there, and the casualties must be extremely heavy when they were rushed by this blood-devouring demon bat.
