Chapter 512: Frogs
It was an explosion, not loud, because it was far away, and it sounded like someone had farted out.
However, this sound is very abrupt in the quiet forest. It is like the crowing of a rooster at dawn, the bell of the hour, a lighthouse in the night, a rallying cry on the battlefield. In short, it attracts people's attention at once.
Luo Youcheng's plant perspective was originally a circle, but now it has become a line, going straight to the direction where the explosion came from. He was startled by what he saw, there were constantly frogs and insects in the view of the plants, they were extremely fast, jumping from branch to branch like apes, each leaping more than ten meters.
Luo Youcheng used the perspective of plants to find the five guards at the source of the explosion. Not far away, a small patch of trees and two frog corpses lorked down. The five were strafing back-to-back, and there were no less than 100 frogs around them. The results achieved by the team members are not optimistic, the frogs are too flexible, few are shot, and the encirclement is getting smaller and smaller.
Seeing the number of frogs, Luo Youcheng changed his mind again, and he said to Liu Ying:
"Back on the plane, there are too many monsters, I can't be distracted to protect you."
"But I ......"
"Don't be, be obedient, go back." After Luo Youcheng finished speaking, he didn't dare to delay any longer and flew in the direction of the five team members.
Looking at the back of Brother Youcheng who was rapidly getting smaller in the air, Liu Ying muttered aggrievedly: "But I finally mustered up the courage." ”
Habitual thinking told her that she should listen to Brother Youcheng, return to the uninhabited island, hide in the plane, find a chair, and curl up her body like a frightened cat. But another voice told her: Liu Ying, you are capable, you have speed, you know swordsmanship, you can purify, poisons are afraid of you, you can become a good helper of Brother Youcheng.
This girl was walking around on the beach, not knowing what to do for a while.
Luo Youcheng flew southwest, and as the target approached, the gunfire became louder and denser.
Suddenly, he felt an alarm in his heart, and a wave of thought turned into a chain of thoughts, and flung backwards and upwards. The monster in mid-air was wrapped in the chain of thoughts, and let out a cry of "times~~". Luo Youcheng slammed the frog's body towards a branch, and with a snort, the monster was pierced by the branch.
More than 20 frogs jumped out of the canopy and pounced on Luo Youcheng in the air. He was briefly busy, dozens of thoughts scattered in all directions, and for a moment the leaves rattled loudly, accompanied by the dull sound of branches breaking and heavy objects falling to the ground. Tens of seconds later, the forest fell silent again.
The forest was littered with frog corpses, and purple blood flowed in all directions, forming an abstract splattering painting. The frogs died in different forms, some were pricked to death by their own claws, some were pierced to death by other people's claws, some were beheaded by flying blades, and some were torn in half. Of course, the most popular way to die is to nail it to a tree and make a skewer. The largest number of trees has five strung on one branch, which is spectacular.
Luo Youcheng glanced down, frowned slightly, turned around and flew in the direction of the fierce battle. Along the way, he was repeatedly blocked, and by the time he saw his teammates, he had dropped nearly a hundred frog corpses along the way.
He was still a step too late. One of the team members fell to the ground covered in blood, and four frogs crouched beside him, with long needles piercing through their mouths, noses, ears, and eyes. Another member of the team was also on the line, with the claws of one frog easily breaking through the soft armor's defenses and stabbing into his abdomen, and the claws of another frog stabbing through his back. The flexible armor has no power to parry in front of the claws, and the sharpness of the claws is comparable to that of a flying blade.
Luo Youcheng's thoughts came out, and at the same time, three flying blades flew up and down. The frog insect relies on speed and the claws that can cut through the armor, but these two things are not enough in front of Mr. Academy.
The support of the gentleman relieved the pressure on the three guards. Previously, there were many frogs and insects, and they could only be suppressed by fire to avoid being approached by them. They didn't dare to think about the results of the battle, they just hoped that they could delay it for a while, and if they were lucky, they might be able to wait for reinforcements. Now, with reinforcements from Mister, they can finally choose their opponents and kill.
One of the team members appears to be capable of accurate shooting. When he changed the shooting mode to a single shot, the shooting accuracy immediately increased several times, and the bullet could catch up with the frog in the fast jump. Within two shots, there will be a capture.
The other two team members threw away the electromagnetic guns in their hands, and one of them pulled out two knives behind his back, danced the knife flowers, and rushed towards a frog. This martial arts fighter has taken the path of wide open and close, and his moves have had little effect against monsters known for their speed. But the frog can't get close to him, and it's more than enough to protect himself.
The other is bare-handed, his right hand is metallic and the edge of his palm is as thin as a blade, and he is a partial transformation fighter. His abilities are not limited to this, his body is like a piece of elastic rubber skin, and when the claws of frogs stab at him, the stabbed part will quickly dent, and the back will bulge a large bag. After the claws were withdrawn, he was back to his normal state, leaving no scars on his body.
It's not that he's tough, in fact, the claws never stab him, and his body is always at a distance of one centimeter from the claws. It was as if countless nanoradars had been installed on his skin, and every part of his body was able to independently and instinctively dodge damage from his opponents.
When faced with the pounce of frogs, there is no way to avoid it, and his body will even undergo a strange twist. At this point, you will never be able to associate this body with a human being.
His counter-attack was also unusually sharp. His usual practice is to grab the frog's wrist with his left hand, cut off the arm with his right hand knife, and then deftly flip the enemy's severed arm with his left hand, and stab the claw into the opponent's neck.
Luo Youcheng recognized this person, his name was Zhao Guanwu, and he once recklessly ran to Guam alone to take revenge. But Luo Youcheng saw him use his abilities for the first time. He admitted that Zhao Guanwu's melee ability and skill just happened to restrain frogs.
The area was quickly cleared of frogs. Luo Youcheng landed in front of the fallen team members to check their injuries. The three members of the team formed a circle to stand on guard, and at this time there were still sporadic frogs rushing here.
Both team members lost their lives. When Luo Youcheng wanted to collect their souls, he found that the soul of one team member was broken, and the soul of the other team member was completely dissipated. Incredible! After death, consciousness remains for at least a few hours. The consciousness of a person with strong mental strength does not dissipate even for days or weeks. The consciousness of these two team members was eaten!
The suspect could only be a frog. Thinking of them piercing the seven orifices of the team members, Luo Youcheng suspected that they were not sucking bodily fluids, but souls. He quickly probed the corpses of several frogs around him, and indeed found a large number of fragments of consciousness from their sea of consciousness.
The sea of consciousness of the frog insect is not large, and it is divided into two areas. One area is small, only one-fifth of the sea of consciousness, where the frog's own consciousness is stored. In the large space, there are a large number of alien consciousness particles floating, including team members and animals.
"Soul Eater." Luo Youcheng muttered to himself, and he immediately thought of the spider monster in the Feicheng Prison Hospital. It's just that I don't know if these frogs are related to Dean Chang, but both have a common trait - they have a very low IQ, but they like to feed on their souls.
He quickly collected the fragments of the consciousness of the team members, the fragments were too messy, he could only let the consciousness of the two team members mix together, and when he returned to the academy, he handed it over to Mother Lin to sort it out slowly. Mother Lin should like this kind of work very much.
Luo Youcheng sighed lightly, dug a pit in the forest with his mental power, and buried the two team members. When he finished all this, there were more than a dozen more frog corpses in the forest, most of which died at Zhao Guanwu's hands.
"What about the others?"
The knife-wielding player replied, "Sir, we are separated." ”
Luo Youcheng asked: "Why don't you open an internal channel?" ”
When the academy fights, it will use monocles to establish temporary channels for communication, which is the so-called group chat. The team member who played with the knife told Luo Youcheng that monsters are very sensitive to electrical signals and can be easily detected by them when they turn them on, so Lord Xia Yin ordered that all communication tools must be kept silent.
"How many frogs are there?"
"Frogs?" The three team members were stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted that Mr. was referring to monsters. The sword-wielding team guessed that there were more than 1,000, Zhao Guanwu said that there might be 3,000 or 5,000, and the estimate of the accurate shooting team members was even more exaggerated, saying that there were tens of thousands. Everyone is guessing based on their own feelings, and I don't know who is closer to the correct answer. However, they all mentioned that there was also a kind of flying frog, which was small in number, but extremely fierce, and the wings of the devil's feet were damaged by them.
Luo Youcheng can only rely on the perspective of plants. This time, he was firing on all cylinders, and low-frequency consciousness waves spread along the dry stems and branches of the plant in all directions.
Previously, he claimed to be able to see 50 kilometers from plants, but in fact, after more than 10 kilometers, the image will become more and more blurry, a bit like the vision of a patient with high myopia after taking off his glasses. More than 20 kilometers, it is like being in a gray fog, almost unable to see, which is very different from Tony's ultra-high-definition plant perspective.
After being reborn, Luo Youcheng's ability to perceive and use low-frequency consciousness waves has been greatly improved, and this time he advanced twenty kilometers before the image began to become blurry. He didn't continue to spread the perspective because he found everyone.
The scene seen from the perspective of the plant made Luo Youcheng feel frightened, there were no less than 2,000 frogs scattered on the 20-kilometer radius, with an average of two frogs per square kilometer. The frogs that were far away were not alarmed, and there were about five or six hundred frogs that gathered in this area.
The rescue team was scattered in three areas.
The witch and the phoenix together. The phoenix burned a piece of scorched earth with a radius of 200 meters in the forest, and in this open area, frogs could no longer use the woods to launch sneak attacks. The fiery phoenix hovers in the air. The witch stood in the middle of the clearing, surrounded by a cat, a dog, a bird, and three cheap beasts. There were about thirty to forty monsters in the surrounding woods, and they were afraid and did not attack.
A kilometre to the north, there is also a small glade. Dozens of monster corpses lay on the edge of the clearing. Ghostfoot was protected in the middle by six team members. Ghostfoot was injured, his left shoulder was red with blood, his arm hung limply, the exoskeleton mech on his right leg had fallen off, and he was wrapping a tourniquet around his calf with one hand. He also had the bodies of two team members by his side.
Two kilometers to the northeast, Luo Youcheng saw two other team members, who were on guard back to back, and there were no frogs approaching them for the time being. First, they were in absolute silence, and secondly, the sporadic frogs passing by always inexplicably stumbled from the trees, and after the corpses hit the ground, purple blood kept flowing from under them, like a small snake swimming in the grass. Needless to say, this is the handiwork of Shang Shiyin and Chunfeng Master and Apprentice.
In addition, Luo Youcheng also saw a person in the woods that he didn't expect.
