Chapter 24: And then the protagonist's mount burrows into the ground
The battle quickly became one-sided, and it didn't take long for the people and monsters who were killed or even injured by the purple-red demonic beast to be affected by the erosion, and one after another transformed into the opponent's puppets. As the number of these puppets grew, it was clear that the hurried reinforcements from the periphery could no longer control the situation and gradually showed signs of collapse.
And then that's when Octavier and her friends came in.
Nangong Rong was very pleased with this, because Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and her teammates used an almost ploughing method to paste the dragon's breath on the bodies of those purple-red monsters, turning them into purple-black with green smoke on the spot. Some of the long-range monsters tried to put up a resistance with their anti-aircraft fire, but the effect was not enough, and their small numbers and lack of unified command did not pose much of a threat at all.
The most important reason why it became like this is probably Benny's voice, a large number of giant earthworms can be said to have appeared directly in front of the eyes of the artillery type Warcraft troops, under normal circumstances, Benny and his team would be easily wiped out, and then become the puppet of the other party to deal with the dragon that came in a hurry.
However, Benny gathered his panicked team members and put up an orderly resistance, and although he didn't last long before falling into a scuffle, he finally wasted some time on the attacking allies. So when the dragon squad appeared, the enemy was not able to completely deal with all the shelling-type demonic beasts, and naturally failed to assemble and organize them.
I'm afraid this guy won't get a medal when he goes back, of course, he has to live to make sense.
Nangong Rong took the time to glance at the Luhua chicken in the distance, which was bursting with Mao and monsters, and suddenly couldn't help but feel a little envy in his heart. Although the honor thing is as calm as a teenager who usually doesn't think about it at all, but now that it is close at hand, he still feels a little red-eyed in the end. After all, the boy is just a civilian, and he doesn't have any talent, so if nothing else, he won't be able to get out in the army for a lifetime, but if he can get a medal or something, even if he doesn't get promoted in the end, at least he can have a little face when talking to others.
In fact, this is the same as an ordinary young man who has no money and no ability, finds a passer-by who will disappear on the spot if he is thrown into the crowd, and the same very ordinary girl as a girlfriend will not be like those who failed to get the girl's sad single dog every time he can't get the girl, and every time he will be surrounded by all kinds of seven aunts and eight aunts, he will chatter and nag some unnutritious words such as "have you found a good match", "when are you going to get married", and finally forced to almost go crazy and encounter such a terrible thing. Because the former can openly put his arms around his sister's waist and declare "This is my good match", "I will get married on Valentine's Day next year", etc., etc., etc., to block the mouths of those seven aunts and eight aunts - as for how relatives and friends will judge the sister, it is none of his business.
However, Nangong Rong didn't know how Octavier and the others planned to save their unlucky eggs later, because they had already fallen into a heavy siege, and the formation had been broken up and mixed with many purple-red demonic beasts, which was a very headache situation where friends and enemies were mixed together.
The boy couldn't think of a way out of the predicament, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess also couldn't come up with it, so when the dragon team that had cleared the outer monsters to help the reinforcements stabilize the defense line turned to fly into the sky above the desperately resisting artillery beast troops, those flying lizards did not make any rescue operations.
"Drill the ground, drill the ground quickly!" The system's eager shout suddenly sounded in his ears, making Nangong Rong, who was looking up at the scenery (after all, he was not controlling the mount to fight) suddenly came back to his senses, "Order your scorpion to burrow into the ground, now, immediately, immediately!"
Confused and inexplicable, although the boy didn't understand what was going on, he was willing to trust the system's judgment, so he hurriedly ordered the scorpion to do the same. However, the fuchsia monsters surrounding the vicinity did not intend to watch the young man's mount play in plain sight, and rushed over to try to cause trouble.
I have to say that these guys' troubles were successful, and the scorpion with a large "burden" on its back burrowed much slower than the purebred scorpion with no burden on its back in nature, so Nangong Rong felt a series of piercing pain when he was halfway through the drill. Of course, the pain was not due to the boy's own injuries, but rather to the fact that his mount had been attacked by the enemies who rushed towards him.
Nangong Rong could even imagine the group of animals on the ground dragging the lower body and hind legs of the scorpion as if pulling out a radish to pull it out, which is a nonsensical situation.
However, the boy believed that even the goddess could not save the system in her daily life, but she would definitely not harm herself in a serious battle, so there was definitely a reason why she let her mount drill into the ground and play with the nearby purple demonic beast to pull the carrot.
It's just that Nangong Rong never thought that this reason would be so cruel.
The hot air wave swept down the ground, and the group of animals that were desperately pulling the scorpion didn't even have time to scream before they completely disappeared into the air wave. Nangong Rong only felt that the back half of the mount's body suddenly loosened, followed by the sharp pain of the fire, which was much more exciting than the previous few purple-red demonic beasts frantically greeting with fangs and claws.
The boy even suspected that the scorpion's ass was already burning with flames, and perhaps he could call the mount the legendary Flame Scorpion from now on.
Tall and tall, your sister, is it okay if your ass is on fire! Matthias's demonic beasts strengthened and transformed by the magic spring are not the existence that can make them fly and jump with a flamethrower, and they will not be afraid because the enemy has created a wall of fire with gasoline in front of the position, these guys actually have a fairly high resistance to flames, at least when the refinery is on fire, it is absolutely fine to let them rush in without any protection to rescue and rescue the disaster.
But now, the scorpion's body was set on fire, and even a lot of it was burned in a very short time.
"Hide a little deeper, and by the way, use the scorpion leg to paddle the soil to block the hole!" the system instructed Nangong Rong again, "In addition, the wound on this butt can't be left alone, hurry up and treat it with healing techniques." It's a good idea to use the Blessing Spell as well, otherwise there's a good chance your mount won't survive. I don't know exactly what the effect will be, but what is certain is that if we do nothing, the scorpion's internal organs will be thoroughly roasted by the heat, and you will be trapped under the ground and waiting to die. β
Nangong Rong, who was shocked and covered in cold sweat, hurriedly manipulated the scorpion to strengthen the system skills with the help of the jet organ on his back, and then used it on the mount, which made the feeling of burning fire barely eased a little.
"What the hell was that?" the young man with palpitations breathed a sigh of relief and wondered, "Could it be ......?"
"Don't you already have the answer in your heart? That's right, it's the dragon's breath attack. β
Nangong Rong may not have had much reaction before, but just now he almost received the lunch, and no matter who he changed to when he encountered this kind of thing, he couldn't calm down, so the young man was not surprised to go crazy: "How can they do that!? There are still many companions who are still fighting!"
Even if some of those companions didn't want to see the boy, they just didn't want to see him, far from being as annoying as Bicester, and the dragon team's attack targets clearly included themselves, so Nangong Rong was instantly enraged, if it wasn't for the conditions, he couldn't help but control the scorpion to jump up and clamp it on the bridge of the nose of the middle head of the five-headed dragon of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.
The system apparently disagrees with the teenager's statement: "Of course they can do that, because the erosion of the abyss is like a cancer that spreads all the time, and if it is not removed in the shortest possible time and in the most effective way, it will only leave a huge hidden danger." The Dragon Squad is an important strategic force in the Empire, and it is impossible for them to put a squad of artillery beasts at risk. Therefore, destroying a large number of extremely dangerous enemies and a small number of half-dead one's own people is naturally the safest and most reliable choice. β
Half-dead or something...... You must have done it on purpose, right? Although in a sense it's true, there's nothing wrong with that.
"Is there no other way but to resort to such a method?"
"At least it's a very safe option, isn't it?"
Nangong Rong couldn't help but be silent. As the system said, there is no means to resist the terrible erosion ability of the abyss, neither the empire nor the alliance can resist it, in case the dragon is injured by the purple-red demonic beast when he lowers the altitude to save Nangong Rong and the others, and finally transforms into an unconscious puppet, who is responsible for this? Compared to the shelling-type demonic beast that can be mass-produced even by the controller, it is obvious that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and her dragon are more important, so you can just use the dragon's breath to wash the ground, and there is no need to risk saving people at all.
Anyway, in the eyes of others, Nangong Rong and they are already almost like dead people.
ββββββββββββββββββI'm the dividing line of scrubbingββββββββββββββββββ
"I mean, how long are we going to hide here?"
Nangong Rong felt that the temperature of the surrounding soil had gradually decreased, and various sounds such as the engine of the car, the footsteps of people, and the words of talking sounded on the ground, and he should have been able to break through the soil. After all, it is easy to go crazy for a long time in the dark underground where you can't see anything, and the boy wants to go out and breathe.
But the system did not allow Nangong Rong to manipulate the scorpion to drill out of the surface, but let him continue to lurk quietly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Don't worry, wait a little longer. The system replied in a very serious tone unhurriedly, "I don't think the enemy's attack should be handled so easily, they must still have a backhand!
The young man couldn't help but be angry and funny when he heard this: "What, you just casually 'think' that I'm going to be stuffed in the dirt and hide from the cat, at least give me a reasonable reason, okay?"
So the system decisively used the avatar to draw a thumbs up: "Ahem, brackets, chests!
β...... I always feel like there's something strange added in the middle, but forget it. Nangong Rong, who was full of black lines, selectively ignored the strangeness of the system, and connected to the mount by himself and said, "Anyway, wait another minute, and in a minute, whether something happens or not, I will go out to breathe." β
"Tsk, it's really an impatient year, haven't you heard the saying that you can't eat hot tofu monkeys in a hurry and can't push cute girls in a hurry?"
"To be reasonable, you definitely deliberately added something undisciplined, right?"
"I didn't mean to, I ......"
"I know you mean it, so I don't need to emphasize it. Nangong Rong unceremoniously interrupted the system, and at the same time gave the scorpion an instruction to break through the ground, "The daily routine ends here, I'm going up." β
However, before the scorpion used its hind legs to pick up the soil, the system made a puzzled voice: "Hey, what's going on?"
Nangong Rong stopped his movements and carefully checked his mount and the surrounding environment, and found nothing unusual, so he asked strangely, "What's wrong?"
"There is abyssal energy in the soil near the surface, and the other party has eroded the ground around it. The system's tone sounded a little surprised, "Trouble, this is definitely not an operation formulated by the alliance, but an autonomous action of the abyss!"
"Bridge Bean Sack, can you change the way I can understand it, aren't the alliance and the abyss on the same path?"
"Sao Nian, do you really need to top up your IQ, do you know? The abyss did not invade your plane with great fanfare, but disguised itself as some kind of virus, and then the alliance used this virus as a weapon. In previous battles, Abyss has always played the role of a virus honestly and has never crossed the line. But today, they don't plan to continue playing the role of a virus, as if they want to do something else. And these things have nothing to do with the Alliance, which must be half-wrapped spicy strips, and the abyss is completing their own plans. β
Hearing this, the young man who finally understood suddenly swallowed hard: "That's the case." So the abyss is now ready for a full-scale invasion?"
"How do I know, maybe the other party just wants to lurk for a while. However, I am more curious about where these abyssal energies come from, and those that were on the ground before should have been annihilated by the dragon's breath. β
Could it be that those giant earthworms left behind? When Nangong Rong just thought this, he found that the earth shook abruptly again.
Damn, is there a second wave of attacks!?
