Chapter 182: Heavy losses
No matter from which point of view, what Ai Hui is doing now is not very reliable, but looking at his serious appearance, everyone still swallowed their saliva and did not squeak. Several battles in a row made them extremely deeply aware of how big the gap between them and Ai Hui was, which also made them dare not question Ai Hui at will.
Loulan took out all the remaining chili peppers.
Chili peppers are one of the most common ingredients, especially a favorite of fire repair.
In the era of cultivating truth, cultivators were often indifferent in temperament, and they also liked light and elegant things. Either it is Linggu, Lingcha, and those who are rich in wealth pursue the year, often in 10,000 years, in addition to the efficacy, it can also highlight the identity.
As for the newly-born Five Elements Heaven, it only has a short history of a thousand years, and the history of the Five Elements Heaven beginning to dominate the wilderness is even shorter. The diet of the Five Elements Heaven is practical, such as Yuan Food, for the vast majority of Yuan Cultivation, it is an important auxiliary means of cultivation, and how much to improve cultivation is the most critical point.
The popularity of Yuan food has greatly increased the cultivation and selection of ingredients by Mu Xiu, and chili pepper is one of the successful examples.
Chili pepper contains a rich and unique fire element power, which is not very powerful, but it can greatly enhance the activity of fire element power in the fire cultivation body.
The fire element force is the most active element force of the five elements, and the fire element force has an eternal demand for activity, and the higher the activity of the fire element force, the more hot the temperature of the converted flame. If it's a cold flame, the temperature will be lower.
Mu Xiu also spares no effort in the cultivation of chili peppers, and continues to introduce excellent varieties.
For example, [Lava], each chili pepper is only the size of a little finger, with a slight arc, the whole body is like a red crystal carving, without a trace of impurities, very clear, you can clearly see the neatly arranged chili pepper seeds inside. From time to time, flames erupt from a certain pepper seed, drawing a red flame bridge. It flows in a red, transparent cavity.
Of course, chili peppers like [Lava] are not eaten as soon as you want.
Although chili pepper has many benefits, its strong irritation is a huge test for those who eat it. The more excellent varieties of chili peppers, the stronger the vitality of chili peppers, and the greater the stimulation of the body. The chili pepper, which has been cultivated and optimized by Mu Xiu, has pushed the "spicy" characteristic to an unprecedented height, and it is no longer a taste experience.
You will feel your whole body burning, and every pore is erupting with flames. Feel like you've fallen into a river of lava, or go through a burning stake.
This has also gradually changed the chili pepper from a commonly used ingredient to a special ingredient for fire cultivation, and only fire cultivation can withstand such a terrible chili pepper yuan power. Now some of the best varieties of chili peppers, even Yuan Xiu does not dare to eat casually, in the plant cultivation of extremely persistent and perverted Mu Xiu's efforts, many ingredients have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Using chili peppers to fend off blood ants is not ridiculous at all.
In the wilderness, Ai Hui has done and seen more ridiculous things than this. For example, smearing the whole body with silt. To cover up their own breath, and to use all kinds of strange plant juices to drive away poisonous insects are commonplace.
What's so strange about using chili peppers?
Loulan squatted beside Ai Hui and asked curiously, "Does Ai Hui want to eat chili peppers?"
"I don't want to. Ai Hui didn't raise his head and explained: "I suspect that blood ants don't like the smell of chili peppers." ”
"Really?" Lou Lan was immediately intrigued.
"I don't know. You'll have to try it to find out. Ai Hui carefully examined the peppers, but soon he was in trouble, and the flowers in front of him were all peppers, red, green and black. Some are big and some are small, and some are oddly shaped.
Do blood ants dislike all chili peppers, or just a certain kind of chili pepper?
No matter. Try it first.
Ai Hui took out some of each pepper and crushed them separately, and the rich spicy flavor spread. After crushing the powder of a chili pepper like [Lava], you can see a faint red flame flowing slowly.
He sprinkled a circle of chili powder around the ashram, and in order to see which pepper was more effective, he marked the pepper variety in each place. Even the underground of the dojo allowed Loulan to sprinkle a lot of chili powder inside.
The battle of the Blood Ants is not very strong, but it is numerous, moves in groups, and likes to sneak up from underground.
After doing all this, Ai Hui's physical strength finally reached its limit.
Instead of sitting down, he kept his sword in his grip and began to run the week. Finally, he can settle down, he has done everything he can do, whether it has any effect or not, it's not up to him to have the final say.
The personnel are exhausted, and the destiny of heaven goes with him.
There was not a place in his body that was not sore, and the tiredness was as fast as the tide drowning him, and his eyelids were as heavy as lead. But now was not the time to sleep, and he forced himself to focus his attention on the Zhou Tian operation in his body.
Soreness, tiredness, wind, the sound of fierce battles in the distance, like the waters of the low tide, paddled across the sand. The world around him, a little bit away, his heart became quiet and peaceful, only the operation of the Yuan Force and the beating of the sword fetus.
Castle Lord's Mansion.
Wang Zhen's face sank like water, listening to the report of his subordinates.
“...... West Erjo Street had been stabilized, and by the time we arrived, more than 270 people had died, 120 were injured, and the missing persons were unknown. We organized the local residents to start encircling and suppressing the remaining blood ants, and so far, the West Erjo Street has been completely cleared. Because the seal stone was destroyed, it was difficult for us to rearrange the underground defenses, and our subordinates have asked them to set up an early warning agency, and all the wounded have been isolated and supervised. ”
"The situation on Tingtao Street is very serious, with more than four ant colonies attacking, and the total number of ants exceeds 500. By the time we resisted, the entire street was almost finished, and the number of deaths was unknown...... We only saved sixty-four. Among them, 24 wounded have been arranged to enter the quarantine area. We suffered heavy losses, nearly half of our casualties, and we were unable to continue our operations. The subordinates suggested that some students from Matsuma Temple could be mobilized to make an inventory of this area, so as not to slip through the net. ”
......
The air was almost frozen, everyone's mood was extremely depressed, a series of bloody numbers, from fear at the beginning, to numbness later. In the entire Matsuma City, in a short period of time, nearly a third of the area was out of control.
The dean's face was tired, he went around fighting fires, and he was too tired to do it. After so many years of pampering, where has he experienced such a high-density battle? But what can be done?
There is no way back, and everyone knows that they have no way back.
After nearly half of the losses, it has not collapsed, and it is possible to do it on the battlefield only if it is already elite.
It's not like these rabbles have become elite overnight. Everyone knows that if they don't want to be food in the belly of the blood beast, there is no other way but to fight.
The dean spoke slowly, his voice hoarse: "The situation in Matsuma Yuan is a little better, the casualties of the master are relatively large, and the death of the students is about more than a hundred people, we don't have time to count them in detail." The master of the entire academy lost more than 20%. ”
Wang Zhen, who had always remained calm, changed her face slightly, the importance of the master was much higher than that of the student. In his eyes, the combat effectiveness of the trainees is pitifully small, but the masters still have a considerable level, as long as they participate in a few battles, they can adapt to the battle and play a more important role.
"Why so many?" he couldn't help but ask, the casualty ratio of the cadets was much lower than that of the master.
"They are Masters. The dean explained in a hoarse voice, "No master would be indifferent to the devouring of his students. ”
An angry color flashed in Wang Zhen's eyes, and four words were squeezed out from between her teeth: "Woman's benevolence!"
"They are Masters. The dean did not avoid Wang Zhen's gaze, and his voice also carried a hint of anger: "Not a soldier. ”
Matsumain is not a famous hospital, and the mobility of the masters is very small, and many of them have worked with the dean for decades, and they are more like friends than colleagues.
The bad news he received that day, the death he witnessed, surpassed all the funerals he had attended, and the grief in his heart almost crushed him.
After teaching and educating people for so many years, some things have long been precipitated in the bones.
He was very realistic, and in his eyes, the other students were not as important as Shi Xueman Duanmu, so he focused on taking care of them. However, when he saw the students being attacked, when he saw them trembling in front of the blood ants, and when he saw their pale and frightened Lian, he would still not hesitate to act.
They're just a bunch of kids.
He knew that he was not rational at all, and his Yuan Li should be placed in a more important place, but ......
This is probably why he has always been the dean of a small branch, he smiled bitterly in his heart.
Wang Zhen was silent, he understood what he was wrong, although the behavior of the masters seemed stupid and childish to him, but it had to be said that it was respectable.
"Sorry, I was rude, the cadets will be proud of them. Wang Zhen suddenly bowed down, and her tone was sincere.
"It's nothing, you're stressed. The dean could understand Wang Zhen's anxiety: "What should I do now? ”
Wang Zhen regained her composure: "The topographic map of the whole city has been sent to the embroidery workshop, and Han Shi has brought back the news, and they are already studying it with all their might." ”
The dean nodded: "No one has ever done it before, and there is no place to learn from, that is, Master Han has such confidence and courage." ”
"So we can't put all our hopes on Han Shi. Wang Zhen said categorically: "We need to recapture the area occupied by the blood beast before Master Han is ready." So I'm ready to organize everyone and take part in this battle, including all the cadets. ”
"Why?" the dean's face changed slightly: "How many people will die in that?"
Wang Zhen calmly faced the dean's gaze: "Two reasons, one is that we have no manpower, everyone must be on it, and everyone is sent to death." In the other, there are already blood ants that have completed their metamorphosis. ”
"Metamorphosis?" the dean's face changed drastically.
"Our Yuan Force seems to be able to help them complete their transformation. We only met a blood ant that had completed its metamorphosis, and many people had died, so we killed it. We found three blood ants in metamorphosis, similar to hibernation, that we had killed. Until now, we don't know if the metamorphosis of these blood ants has anything to do with cannibalism. But since metamorphosis is not an isolated case, the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for us. When more blood ants complete their metamorphosis, our situation will be more dangerous. So I'm going to organize all the Yuan cultivators and students to attack in an all-out way, and in the shortest possible time, recapture all the lost areas, and kill all the ants that enter the city!"
Wang Zhen's face was hideous. (To be continued.) )
