Chapter Seventy-Three: The Insect Tide Retreats
In the eastern highlands, the ghost hands of the crazy battle failed to stop the advance of the huge insect tide after all, and the last inch of the pass was lost, and the insect tide poured up to the high ground like a broken embankment, even those who were as strong as the ghost hands could only slash and kill the insects around them with no hope.
Although the giant's skin and muscles are extremely tough, he can't resist the scratching and biting of the insects after fighting for a long time, and soon he is scarred, and these fresh wounds and blood further stimulate the ferocity of the insect swarm, making them more and more crazy.
Eric had climbed to the top of the core of the tower, the entire base of the battery had long been flooded with bugs, the steel shell was full of scratches left by bugs, and rumbling black smoke was also rising from all over the battery, with a burst of sparks, this fierce battery completely struck, Eric could only pick up the shotgun for self-defense, and shoot with a curse, while desperately waiting for death to come.
Although Ling was tightly guarding El behind her at this time, she had already noticed that the energy of the Ring of the Holy Shield had rapidly dropped to the freezing point, and it began to emit a red light of warning, and the whole person was also frightened by the insects that frantically attacked the shield, and she could even clearly see the hideous mouthparts of the insects.
It didn't take long for Ling's near-stagnant breath to snap the shield and the bugs roared and pounced on the two girls who didn't have any fight.
Arnold's eyes were red, and he roared frantically to rush forward to save people, but he was blocked by the huge insect tide, and he could only watch Ling and El being drowned.
At the moment when all hope was gone, the mother worm died, and the prompt that the task was completed ahead of schedule sounded in my mind without warning, like the first rays of dawn breaking through the night.
In the next moment, the insect swarm that was originally attacking in unison and crazy suddenly boiled, and I don't know which insect let out the first scream, and the noise of tearing the eardrum resounded in the sky, and the whole insect swarm was completely out of control, like the most primitive beast, it began to attack its companions around it indiscriminately, and for a while, the entire eastern highlands became the slaughterhouse of the insect swarm.
Seeing the sapper bugs biting each other, the tank bugs trampling their companions to death in a frenzy, the corrosive bugs also melting other bugs into liquid in a large area, coupled with the sound of cubes in their heads, the members of the Dawn team finally knew that Luo Wei had succeeded! They got out of this hell!
Arnold really wanted to cheer loudly at this time, they had half of their feet in the ghost gate, but they escaped at the last second, this feeling of sudden loosening after tightening the heartstrings was even more exhilarating than drugs, almost fainting!
However, everyone still retains the most basic sanity, because the crisis has not been lifted at this time, and the death of the insect mother only means that the insect swarm is out of control, and it does not mean that they have a gold medal for avoiding death, because the insects may still target them!
Arnold tore a bloody path through the runaway swarm and found Ling and Al, the two girls were lucky and didn't suffer too much damage, Arnold directly carried them up, and then shouted to Eric at the top of the core of the tower: "Old man! Hurry up and run away! ”
"Shut up! Big! You have to be respectful of the elderly! Although Eric cursed, the excitement in his eyes was also unbearable, and he blasted a small clearing with his shotgun, put away the core of the striking tower, and honestly followed Arnold, and made peace with the ghost hand not far away.
The ghost hand in this battle is no less than Luo Wu, in a sense, I am afraid that it is more tragic than Luo Wu, in the past few hours, he has not stopped wielding the knife, has been blocking the insect swarm like a meat grinder, it is estimated that he has cut down more than 10,000 insects, the skin of the whole person has been wrapped in thick insect blood and insect flesh, and he is almost unable to see the original appearance, and his two arms are also trembling because of fatigue, but the crazy battle intent in his eyes is unabated.
However, the ghost hand does not belong to the kind of madman who is willing to die for the battle, as soon as he saw that the task had been completed, there was no point in fighting again, he directly took the lead in cutting a bloody path in the swarm and led everyone down the eastern highlands.
The process went very smoothly, the fratricidal insect swarm looked like paper paste under the strong breakthrough of the ghost hand, and in less than five minutes, the dawn team rushed out of the high ground under the leadership of the ghost hand, away from the insect swarm.
After retreating to a safe area, everyone unconsciously looked back at the eastern highlands where the insect tide was boiling, where every inch of land was occupied by insects, like a living insect-eating hell, and from time to time there were shells from the rebel artillery units falling on the mountain, beating the cliffs of the highlands to pieces, at this moment, everyone dared not imagine that they had held on for hours in such a bad situation!
The ghost hand withdrew from the berserker form, and there was a scorching steam all over his body, and the attached insects and minced meat were almost cooked, he glanced at the horizon that met the sky, the rebel artillery unit was more than ten kilometers away from them, and it should not take much time to rush over to eliminate it, but this force did not belong to the scope of the task, and there was no reward for eliminating it, plus the ghost hand and Lu Ren did not have a deep relationship, so he did not choose to do this thankless task.
After retreating, everyone approached the entrance of the wormhole in an orderly manner, preparing to find Luo Wei, but the tunnel of the wormhole was too complicated, and they might not be able to get out once they entered, so they only dared to wait outside.
"Is that young man alright?" Eric asked, a little worried.
Although Arnold is very confident in Luo Wei, killing the insect mother is an A-level difficult task, A-level! With this kind of difficulty, he doesn't even have room for imagination, and it is impossible to say that he is not worried about Luo Wei.
"The Lord is above... Peace be upon him—" Al clasped his hands to his chest and prayed softly for Luo Wei.
While everyone was restlessly waiting, with Ling's cheers, they suddenly saw a naked figure slowly walking out of the acupoint.
What a perfect body, white as snow skin in the sun exuding jade-like brilliance, graceful lines and beautiful collarbones all reveal amazing arcs, like a ghostly sculpture, without losing the cheetah-like sense of power, that soft to mesmerizing face, delicate facial features are haunting, a pair of red eyes deeper than the night sky are like treasures of the gods.
In this barren wilderness, the appearance of this figure is like a moon and stars lighting up the night sky, eclipsing everything around it.
When he walked towards the dawn team, everyone unconsciously held their breath, if it weren't for the more iconic red eyes, I'm afraid no one would be able to recognize this as Luo Wei, after all, this young man usually has bandages on his face and body, and he is also wearing a cloak, even Arnold, who knew Luo Wei at the earliest, has never seen his true face.
Arnold rubbed his eyes vigorously, and rubbed them several times, before he said in shock: "My good girl, I know why you always have to cover yourself with something." ”
Also amazed was Eric, El and the two of them, even the ghost hand who had always been cold couldn't help but take a few more looks, the most interesting thing was Ling, this girl even hid behind Arnold with a red face, only showing half of her little head and looking at Luo Wei shyly, like a little girl who met a prince, and her heart was full of deer.
