Chapter 288: The Net (I)
Outside the city wall is the empty area, which is the same in any city, but at this point in time, the empty area in other cities has been dark, and everything is silent, but outside Xucheng, the open space is full of people, holding countless lanterns, lighting countless torches, and supporting countless braziers.

Although the brightness can't be compared to the light stone in the center of the city, it also illuminates the empty area.
Chen Cheng ran down the slope and glanced around, looking for the weakness of the encirclement.
The innermost layer is the ant-man holding a steel crossbow, they are loading, there are many people behind them, also holding a steel crossbow, but they are not used, judging from their demeanor and standing posture, those are not ant-men, they are ordinary soldiers, there are a lot of them.
There won't be so many soldiers in Xucheng, these soldiers who have not been ant are from somewhere else, most likely from Yancheng.
Behind them are human insects, of different shapes and sizes, it is difficult to count how many there are, and there are even more huge beings in the distance, but the fire is already difficult to shine.
In the rear, the big bugs didn't climb above the city wall, probably to prevent being shot by Ant-Man, but it is conceivable that there must have been countless big bugs guarding behind the city wall, in the open space between the city and the buildings.
Alone, Chen Zhen doesn't have to worry about anything, he can choose to break out of the encirclement, or he can choose to retreat to the city and take people and insects for a ride, or go underground to play hide and seek with these people.
But not now, he still needs to attract the attention of the other party, and give Yang Yan and Zhou Ding two teams time to get out of the city, just go in the direction of the city at will, and put those light stones to convey a message, so that they don't go this way, the defense on this side must be the tightest.
"Boom!"
The snapping of the crossbow strings reappeared, Chen Zhen immediately rolled sideways, and ran along the city wall to the side, until now he didn't feel any danger, because those Ant-people didn't have the slightest killing intent in their hearts when they pulled the trigger, they were just faithfully carrying out the order, just doing the action of shooting, and the shooting was not aimed at anyone.
"Dangdang......"
A dense crash sounded, and the crossbow arrows grazed the Chen array, one after the other, and shot at the city wall, the city wall has an inclined plane, unless it happens to shoot in the gap between the masonry, it will only be entangled, and the crossbow arrows fly into the sky and fly towards the city, and those who are unlucky are likely to be hit, then there is only one way to die.
At the end of the second round of volleys, he didn't shoot Chen Zhen, he didn't release the darkness, and continued to lure Ant-Man to shoot, there was no way to judge the danger through intuition, so he could only rely on watching and listening.
Ant-Man began to load the crossbow bolts again, and Chen Zhen waited patiently, if this was the kind of attack rhythm, he could spend a night with these people.
But this time, after loading, Ant-Man just raised the steel crossbow and aimed it at him, and did not make a shooting move.
Some people walked through the Ant-Man team and walked to the front, Chen Zhen saw Liu Yi, saw Ouyang, and a few people he didn't know, all of whom emitted purple light in their eyes.
Ouyang's appearance did not surprise Chen Zhen, electricity is a good thing, and it has many uses, it can be used to kill people or save people.
It was Ouyang who spoke first, smiling and saying to Chen Zhen: "We meet again, we are really fated." ”
He is still dressed in the same strange way, with a black straight knife around his waist, no shoes, and a wild and unrestrained smile, his appearance is no different from the last time he met in the ruins, he has not eaten fat, he has not been hungry or thin, and he has not become a human worm, which should be good news for Mr. You.
As for whether it is fate, Chen Zhen can't be sure, Ouyang appeared here, standing on the side of the Lin family, obviously to deal with him, people are conductors, and their conductivity is far less than that of metals, but because there is a lot of water in the body, it is not bad, even if the water in the bones is relatively small, it can also conduct electricity, so no matter what kind of state, Ouyang is a great threat to Chen Zhen.
Seeing that Chen Zhen didn't speak, Ouyang asked, "Is she okay?" ”
"Not bad." Chen Zhen answered Ouyang's question and asked his conjecture: "The Lin family and Bone Paradise cooperated?" How many enhancements did Ant-Man's research get in exchange? ”
"Not too little, not too much." Ouyang didn't deny it, and a happy smile appeared on his face: "Without your blood, Bone Paradise is too 'poor', I can't give much enhancement potion, and I haven't been able to exchange for anything useful, you've also seen it in Qingcheng, those things, poof......"
He burst out laughing.
"What you're doing today is to show off a better Ant-Man?" Chen Zhen asked again.
Ouyang smiled even more happily, laughed for a while, then raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, and said: "That's right, what happened in Xucheng will soon spread all over the world, let's see if the Bai family will be interested in the research of the Bone Paradise, without the support of the Bai family, what kind of climate can the Bone Paradise become?" It not only consumes their enhancement potions, but also makes them lose their use value, ha! It's a wonderful thing. ”
"You're thinking too simply." Chen Zhen reminded.
The cooperation between Bone Paradise and the Bai family began before the hundred years of deeds, and it was precisely because of the support of the Bone Paradise that the Bai family was able to win the four cities so smoothly, even if the Bone Paradise could not come up with new things, it was impossible for the Bai family to give up the Bone Paradise.
Especially now, if you want to fight against the Lin family's insect people, you have to rely on the research of Bone Paradise.
"It doesn't matter." Ouyang shrugged his shoulders and said, "The affairs of the Lin family and the Bai family are my business, my target is just the people of Bone Paradise, we just use each other, at least I am voluntary, no one forces me." ”
"So you have become the generator of the Lin family again." Chen Zhen could probably guess the true intention of the Lin family and Ouyang's cooperation, with electricity, it was very convenient to study anything, just in terms of lighting, electric lights were countless times better than candles.
"Part-time thug." Ouyang smiled and said, "But I didn't plan to kill you, lest she blame me in the future, I am only responsible for trapping you." ”
"Self-deception." Chen Zhen said lightly, if he is trapped, he will only have a dead end, and that is no different from being killed by Ouyang.
"I'll just have to get over my own level, okay, enough." Ouyang said, raising his hand to grasp the hilt of his sword.
His knife was hung on the right side of his body, and he was right-handed, and he used a backhand knife.
As soon as the action of holding the handle of the knife was made, there was a "knock knock" crossbow string flick, and Ant-Man pulled the trigger, and this time, in addition to them, the soldiers standing behind also raised their crossbows to shoot, but all the crossbow arrows were not shot at Chen Zhen, but shot around him, and there were crossbow arrows flying from above, left and right.
This crossbow bolt covers a large area, and if Chen Zhen dodges, he will be shot by the crossbow bolt instead.
He didn't move, and he understood the other party's plan.
Ant-Man shot out ordinary crossbow arrows, but those soldiers shot at a four-way folding flying tiger claw wrapped in rubber, which opened after shooting, and was connected by a steel wire behind it, and the other end of the steel wire was buried in the ground, pulled up by the flying tiger claw, and rolled towards Chen Jin.
Ant-Man's crossbow arrows shoot crookedly, in order to prevent him from escaping and dodging, the soldier's crossbow arrows cross in the air, and can be built into a huge net, the very loose kind, which can pull a large gap, but when it is turned on, it is a matter of death to pull the tightrope.
The flying tiger claw is to hook on the city wall, but if it is really hooked, Rainbow will pull the wire away when it turns around, Chen Zhen glanced back, and sure enough, he saw that Rainbow had stopped rotating.
There is also a steel wire attached to the back of Ouyang's knife shell, and the other end is really buried in the ground, that is to say, there is also metal buried in the ground, it is likely to be a metal network that is protected, wrapped in insulators, and the cable is fine, as long as it does not touch the soil, there is no need to worry about the loss of current.
At the same time, venom was also spewed out from behind the city wall to prevent Chen Zhen from retreating.
The net was quickly woven, one end reached into the ground, the other end was on the city wall, those people had even calculated the distance and the direction of shooting, someone was squatting down and adjusting something, the steel wire that flew into the city wall was tightened, and some of the large gaps left above that could be jumped out quickly narrowed, it should be the big insects behind the city wall making adjustments.
Ant-Man stood in front of the soldiers, some of whom were pulled down by the steel cables that had risen from the ground and hung on them, and as soon as the nets were adjusted, they convulsed violently, but soon stopped, and smoke rose from their bodies.
The smell of barbecue in the air is quickly blown away by the wind.
Chen Zhen took a few steps forward to avoid being sprayed with venom.
The people of the Lin family have moved a big battle, they must have rehearsed many times in advance, and they didn't know the direction they escaped from at the beginning, so these things were all temporarily arranged, or it could be that the battle was bigger than Chen Zhen thought, and the power grid was buried outside the city wall of Xucheng, as long as people moved.
"It's a pity that Tang Li is dead." Chen Zhen looked at Ouyang and said.
If there is water, combined with electricity, it is very terrifying, Tang Li only needs to control a small stream of water, connect him to a certain steel wire, or make the air reach a saturated state, he may be electrocuted.
Ouyang smiled and didn't say anything more.
Chen Zhen began to dig out the light stone again, he couldn't get out, others couldn't get in, no one could stop him from placing the light stone henge, although the light stone didn't help him get out of trouble, but it could make him "invisible".
If nothing else, it's time for those human bugs to appear, in order to trap him, the area where the net is not small, and he also has a certain space to move, he can dodge venom and corrosive fluid, provided that there are not many human worms that can use body fluids to attack.
The sound of wings flapping sounded, behind the city wall, near the dense forest, there were people and insects flying, the number of people and insects who can spray poison and corrosive liquid is actually very small, and they were crippled when fighting on the rainbow before, but the attack method does not have to be poison, liquid is fine, metal wire is also fine, as long as it can conduct electricity, no matter what weapon is effective.
