A second command came from the amplified array: "First team, squat! Second team, ready!"

The ten heavily armored warriors of the first team crouched steadily, like pikemen defending against cavalry charges, and poked their halberds, more than five meters long, above their heads, and the other end pressed against the ground.

It is said that Hassan was not only a warrior, but also an excellent alchemist, and these special halberds were improvised by him, and although they were long and large, they were difficult to move, but they were still sharp. Holding it, there is a sense of security.

The first jumping lizard saw that it was about to rush under the wooden wall, and with a kick of its hind legs, it drew a graceful parabola, easily crossed the first wooden wall, reached the highest point of the jump, and fell behind the second wooden wall.

At this moment, a soft "click" was heard.

It looked down in astonishment, and at some point a long cut in its abdomen, and under the action of gravity, the heart, liver, intestines, and lungs were rolling out and crackling.

The hopper has no scaly defenses from throat to abdomen, only a tough layer of skin. How can the skin resist the sharp halberd?

The first wave of thirty jumping lizards were defenseless and crashed headlong into the human halberd array, and eight of them were disemboweled, killing them instantly.

The remaining twenty-two lucky hoppers activated their "petrified skins" and landed steadily on the ground, followed by a terrible roar.

At least half of them, stepping into the water-soaked mortar!

The petrified back skin instantly increases its defenses and instantly increases its weight. The sheer weight crushed their bodies into the soft mortar, leaving only their heads exposed.

The unlucky guy had his leg broken due to an unstable center of gravity, and he could only watch as the mud and sand stirred by himself poured into his mouth and nose.

The short and weak forelimbs fluttered in vain, trying to find a way to escape, but the wet sand that was usually trampled under the claws was sticky and hard, like steel!

Gudamai was surprised: "They can't get out?"

"When the sand is not soaked with water, there are gaps between the sands, and once the sand is soaked with water, the gaps are filled by water, and at this time the buried guy is mainly subjected to two forces, one is the gravity of the sand directly above, and the other is the pressure of the air from above and down," Duck said. ”

Gudama was confused: "Sand and air?"

"The movement of one grain of sand will lead to another grain of sand, and this is the case with two grains of sand, and here there are thousands of grains of sand as well, and if the jumping lizard wants to stand up, it needs to face not only the pressure of the part of sand directly above it, but also the pressure generated by the large area of sand around it. Of course, the specific force analysis is much more complicated than that, and there will be time to explain it. Let me tell you this, if it is the two of us, we will land on our feet and it will be the same end. ”

"Oh, that means it's okay to keep your feet down?"

"Belly down, limbs spread out, like swimming, increase the contact area, and you'll be fine—except for a half-dead fall. However, if they dare to play like this, they will all die at the hands of the first team guarding the wooden wall. ”

Gudamaz said, "You are very knowledgeable!"

Duck smiled: "This is nothing more knowledgeable, just common sense, if you have time, you will understand everything with a trip to the southern jungle." Well, let the second team do it. ”

Gudama gestured to the guard.

The loud voice of the guards came from the amplified magic circle: "Second team, annihilate the enemy!"

More than a dozen warriors in light armor and swords in their hands burst out of the ground!

They lurked in place, covered in small checkered carpets of strange black and dark yellow—the work of the alchemist Hassan, who called it "camouflage." Surprisingly, even the jumping lizard, which is known for its keen vision, did not notice such a group of people lurking around them.

Led by Marduk, he grinned and swung a sharp-edged, psychic tower-reinforced steel shovel at the neck of a caught off guard lizard.

With a soft click, the neck that had no hard scale defense was split a terrifying gap by a steel shovel cut from the bottom up!

After years of digging holes and splitting stones, although the old guy is old, he has the arm strength and cunning vision that ordinary people can hardly reach, this ferocious blow cut off the neck of the jumping lizard together with the cervical vertebrae, leaving only a layer of scales connected, the whole head was pushed back, and the blood spurted out more than five meters away!

At the same time, the sound of sharp objects entering the flesh sounded around one after another, and everyone chose their own target, and almost all of them succeeded!

Almost.

There was a lucky jumping lizard, which landed right in the middle of two ravines, neither falling into the mortar nor spraining its leg.

The soldier who fought against it was an inexperienced young man, and when he saw that his opponent was intact, he froze for a moment, and the knife was slow, and it grabbed the knife and slammed it to the ground.

The young man suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and a huge mouth full of sharp teeth had bitten in front of him!

It was so fast that he didn't even have time to close his eyes.

The mouth didn't close, it stopped!

The lizard stopped biting his giant mouth, and it was puzzled. The familiar smell told it that the guy in front of it was one of the same kind.

Not human? This is outrageous!

But, but you can't go wrong with the smell, it's really a kind!

The young man's mouth was filled with saliva at once, and fear quickly left him, and he raised his scimitar sharply, stabbed it into the huge mouth that was close at hand, and slashed it fiercely.

The entire skull of the hopper was sliced off, and the lifeless body was replanted in the ravine.

Not far from the young man, a broken crockpot was emitting a pungent stench.

With a series of shattering sounds, more bottles and cans were ejected from behind the third line of defense, where Duck had deployed several improvised catapults.

The smell of fish permeated the air, but Marduk felt that the smell was comparable to the fragrance of ghee.

"I finally know why my lord has to ask for those stinky scales, it turns out that they are used to confuse these beasts!

Marduk laughed maniacally, swung his steel shovel, and pounced on the second wave of hapless eggs who had fallen into the ravine.

Due to the barrier of the wooden wall, the hoppers could not see the situation inside clearly, and the second and third waves jumped into the wooden wall one after another, and then they were trapped by the strong familiar smell, and began to spin in vain.

There are already the same kind?

Such a strong smell, is it the territory of a strange kind?

These people are so small, their hind legs are pitifully thin, but their front legs are very well developed, and they can still grasp them, they really look like human beings......

Thoughts came to an abrupt halt, and the sharp scimitars and halberds ended their lives.

The surroundings were quiet, except for the occasional sound of popping sharp weapons into flesh and the sound of blood splattering.

It was a one-sided massacre.

Gudama and the guards next to him looked at Duck with almost reverence.

One of the guards couldn't help it and asked, "Master Hassan, the villain has the audacity to ask, with such a dim light, and no fire, the jumping lizards are better than our eyes, why can't they see us clearly, but we can see them clearly?"

Duck replied, "Jumping lizards like to pee on their legs to cool down, and there is a lot of salt in the urine, which forms a thick layer of salt crust on their legs, and now the light is very dim, and the white salt crust has a faint reflection. And whether it is our camouflage, clothes or swords, they are all black, or have a matte finish. ”

Although the guard didn't understand what a matte finish was, he nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, the fourth wave of jumping lizards jumped over the wooden wall.

The iron dragonfly high in the clouds sent back an image, and there were no monitor lizards outside.

Duck said decisively: "Let the brothers guarding the wooden wall flank back and forth for a round, and then throw the guys to retreat to the core area, and the second team will cover." When they retreated into the core, the second team also withdrew. ”

Gudama did not hesitate and gave the order personally.

The plan was quickly executed, and more than twenty jumping lizards were harvested in an instant with the slashing of swords from the front and the stabbing of the halberd from the rear. The first team threw away their bulky halberds and ran towards the core.

They are heavily armoured and move slowly, even passing by jumping lizards. Fortunately, most of the jerkas were still confused by the smell and did not pursue them.

Seeing that the first team successfully retreated into the core area, Marduk gave a whistle, and the second team abandoned the trench one after another, turned around and ran towards the core area.

Just as the second team retreated in a scattered formation, suddenly, a gust of wind swept over the camp!

The fishy smell emitted by the bottles and cans was swept away, and the eyes of the jumping lizard were instantly bloodshot!

Food!

A jumping lizard poked its head out, aimed at the back of Marduk's neck, and bit it down!
