Chapter 43: Defeat the Enemy

The starry night is still on, the bonfire in front of Qitukou Village is about to burn out, and even the firelight has become slightly dim, and the battle between Chen Xiao and the others and the bat swarm is still continuing, and the two sides have fallen into a stalemate, and at this time, nearly four hours have passed since the arrival of the bat swarm.

One side is fighting to defend its kind, the other side is frantically attacking for food, the white-hot battle has been going on so far, it has been a situation of endless death, after the bat swarm has lost a few and half of its kind, although they are also exhausted, but their wildness and greed are also completely stimulated, like a tide constantly hitting the humans in the field.

In order to survive and protect their kind, Chen Xiao and others had to continue to persevere, not daring to slack off, and everyone knew in their hearts that once these beasts were given a chance to take advantage of, they were destined to be broken by each one, and in the end, many people would be buried under the mouths of these bats.

In tonight's battle, the most high-spirited are Li Han and Little Fat Man, these two were protected by Chen Xiao before, and they have never had the opportunity to face the enemy head-on like today, and they also played a big role, which really made these two burst out with pride, both tired and happy.

However, what makes everyone complain is that after the great disaster, there are still so many surviving bats, but few humans have survived.

Is it really survival of the fittest? These beasts usually live in dark, damp caves, and perhaps because of this, the chances of survival are much better than those of humans!

Although everyone replenished the bat crystal nucleus after the extermination from time to time, for this protracted battle that took considerable effort, these weak energies were still beyond their means.

With such a large population of these bats, if the energy crystals that landed in their habitat were divided among these beasts, then the energy possessed by a single bat could be imagined.

At the beginning of these crystal nuclei, they could also restore some strength and energy to everyone, but after a long time, it became a drop in the bucket, and everyone was inevitably exhausted, and even the movements on their hands gradually slowed down, so that there were some more large and small wounds on everyone's body, which was naturally inevitable.

However, the bats were not comfortable, they flew and circled for most of the night, and they were also exhausted, and some of the bats had begun to drink blood from the corpses of their own kind, in order to recover the lost strength, and their population had also lost about a third of their population.

Chen Xiao's eyes had been paying attention to the house where the villagers and the Ma Jing sisters were, intentionally or unintentionally, until this time, he suddenly found that the black shadows around the house were gradually increasing, and in the outer part of the bats attacking himself and the others, there were also black shadows flying in the direction of the house.

It seems that some bats find it difficult to attack themselves and others, so they turn to attack the crowd inside the house, and these beasts are really extremely greedy and cunning.

Chen Xiao frowned at the same time, a trace of coldness faintly appeared in his eyes, he pondered for a while, he secretly made up his mind in his heart, and hurriedly shouted: "Five uncles and Xiao Guo, you are now back-to-back with the four of us, breaking through in the direction of the hut where the villagers are, they are in danger, we have to hurry over to support." ”

As soon as the others heard Chen Xiao's words, they hurriedly looked towards the hut, and immediately, their faces showed worried expressions, seeing that the villagers were really in danger, they immediately nodded and agreed to Chen Xiao's proposal without hesitation.

Out of the corner of his eye, he watched the six people behind him form a retreating formation, and after turning his body to continue fighting, Chen Xiao commanded with a calm face: "Everyone keep in formation, slowly retreat, look at the rest of your eyes, you must not mess up the formation, otherwise you will let these beasts take advantage of it!" Now everyone listen to my command and take steps together, one or two...... Be careful, don't stop moving! ”

Chen Xiao shouted slogans as he stepped forward, and at the same time, the torches and machetes in his hands kept waving, and from time to time, a black shadow was cut down by him.

When Guo Zirong was about to go to the hut, he ran to Chen Xiao's side and kept it on the same level as their group, so that the two groups before and after were five people, and the gap left by the action was relatively small.

The little fat man and the other four followed Chen Xiao's pace closely, and they were also wielding torches with all their strength in their hands, although everyone's torches had burned a lot, they still exerted their residual heat, helping everyone to repel the enemies again and again.

The five uncles behind him also meticulously retreated step by step according to Chen Xiao's command, and the torches in their hands were also trying their best to block the bat army attacking from behind the formation.

As soon as the black-pressed bats saw that they were far away from the fire that they were naturally afraid of, they suddenly became more excited and frenzied, and the numerous bats circled the crowd in circles, and launched a more frantic impact on the crowd with a ferocious look than before.

Although the location of the campfire was only sixty or seventy meters away from the huts where the other villagers were, the process of marching was difficult, and everyone walked for five or six minutes to reach the outside of the house.

At this time, nearly a hundred black shadows had gathered outside the house, and they were impacting the shields on the windows, and from time to time one or two black shadows would break through the blockade and rush into the house, causing a burst of exclamations from everyone in the house, but in the end, they were driven out by the Ma Jing sisters and other villagers, and sometimes they could kill a few lonely black shadows.

At this time, there were also some sporadic wounds on the arms and thighs of the Ma Jing sisters, but none of them hurt the vital point, it seems that their pressure has also become greater, otherwise they will not be easily injured, and judging from the dozen or so bat corpses scattered outside the window, they have also achieved good results.

After all, they are mainly defensive, and the number of bats that attacked the house before was not too much, judging from the probability of extermination, these two girls have done quite well.

After seeing that Chen Xiao and the others outside the house were not in danger of life, the Ma Jing sisters and the villagers couldn't help but feel excited and happy, but seeing the dense swarm of bats above everyone's heads was also uninvited, they couldn't help but feel frightened and uneasy.

After nodding and saying hello to the Ma Jing sisters and the villagers, Chen Xiao threw a look of appreciation and encouragement at the Ma Jing sisters, and affirmed everything they had done before.

"You two have worked hard, and you've been hurt a bit! However, you have done a very good job and have not harmed the villagers, and it seems that you will definitely become excellent fighters in the future, I believe in you! Chen Xiao praised with a look of relief.

"Where? It's just a small injury, it's nothing, Brother Xiao, we don't have to hide behind your back in the future! What do I need to be a part of? Ma Jing's arrogant voice rang out, and he didn't care about the wound.

"Brother Xiao, we have been trained by you, and we will definitely be able to do better in the future! In the future, we will train hard and strive to become your right-hand man! Hey! After Ma Ying finished speaking softly, she smiled mischievously at Chen Xiao, and looked at Chen Xiao with a tender face.

"Well, you can work hard, there will be more difficulties waiting for us in the future, but we must solve the current problem first, you continue to protect the villagers in the house, prevent the fish from slipping through the net into the house, and the others are still divided into two groups and take turns to fight the enemy." Chen Xiao avoided Ma Ying's fiery eyes with some fear, and after hurriedly encouraging the two sisters, he immediately commanded the people around him.

The five uncles behind him were on the periphery of the formation at this time, struggling to resist the attack of the bats, and nodded in agreement when they heard this.

The bearded uncle assured in a calm tone: "Young man, don't worry! Our five old bones have strength, and today we will be exhausted with these turtle grandchildren, as long as we don't die, they will definitely not be able to enter the house! ”

Chen Xiao nodded at the uncle with respect on his face, and after saying caution, he hurriedly said to the house: "Fellow villagers, you can find some thicker wooden sticks in the house and make us some torches!" We're running out of torches, and we're two or three hours away from dawn, so we'll have to add some more torches to keep going! ”

"Don't worry! Young man, even if we have dismantled the quilts and stripped naked, we have to get some torches for you, and you have to fight with your lives to protect us, so we have to prepare weapons for you! ”

"Folks, come and come, all move, look around for sticks and fabrics, and hurry up to prepare torches for the old and young masters! Hurry up......" The old village chief's trembling voice came from the room, a tone of excitement and anxiety.

"Grandpa, don't worry, do as much as you can, don't take off your clothes, in that case, I'll become a sinner, but I can't let the big guy have no clothes to wear!" Chen Xiao was moved by the old man's words, and quickly comforted him.

"Don't worry! Young man, most of the people in this room are women, how can they not be clothed? I have my own measure, and today you saved our whole village! Grandpa, I also hid two jars of old wine, and when I get rid of these beasts, I will treat you well! The old man's relieved voice sounded again, and he was excited.

"Thank you, grandpa, I haven't drunk for a long time, fatty, it's really my blessing to meet your old man! Hey! It's still an old wine! The little fat man's excited words sounded at the right time, which immediately provoked Chen Xiao and the others to roll their eyes.

After Chen Xiao smiled bitterly, he didn't continue to speak, but he secretly made up his mind in his heart, he must protect the villagers well tonight, as long as he persists for more than two hours, he can win a big victory......

So, when it was Chen Xiao and the others' turn to play, he seemed to be unstoppable, almost with all means, and the machete in his hand was wielding more and more quickly, with a faint dark green halo on the knife, as long as the blade touched the bat, it would be cut in two, almost knocking to death, next to death.

Chen Xiao finally used his killer move, and it was also the biggest trick he could use so far, which was to release his energy and bless it on the machete in his hand.

Although it consumed quite energy, the effect was quite obvious, the bats that flew around Chen Xiao had almost no enemies, and they were basically all broken to the ground by him, but in tens of seconds, a large thick bat body was piled up under his feet.

Chen Xiao became more and more courageous, and in the end, he rushed into the bat swarm alone, trying his best to kill the living force of the bat swarm, and the four little fat men behind him saw Chen Xiao's desperate appearance, and couldn't help but be infected by his bravery, and rushed heroically towards the bat swarm with torches and weapons, even if they were bitten by bats, they didn't care, they just killed the bats around them.

When the five uncles saw that these young people were so heroic, their old faces suddenly couldn't hold back, how could they let a few young people rush to the forefront of danger? Thinking of this, these five middle-aged men still cared about the strategy set by Chen Xiao before, and after taking the torches remade by the villagers in the house, they also rushed impatiently towards the bat swarm.

Seeing that everyone had always been passive defensive, the bats changed their previous actions and rushed towards their own clan, and they also caused large casualties to the clan, so they couldn't help but panic.

At this time, the bats were not only in chaos under the impact of everyone, but some of the bats slowly retreated with a little fear.

After Chen Xiao and the others fought bravely to kill the enemy just now, coupled with the bats that everyone had killed in front of the bonfire before, the original number of thousands of bat groups had been reduced by as much as half in total, and it was no wonder that these beasts were afraid of it.

Ma Jing and Ma Ying in the house saw that everyone outside was fighting very lively, and they couldn't help but see that the two of them were hot for a while, and after pressing for a long time, they finally couldn't help the restlessness in their hearts, and rushed out of the house with a torch, and joined the battle of everyone with a brave face, and several villagers who had been guarding the window with her two before saw this, and they also followed without hesitation, all with a surging battle intent.

As a result, the melee between more than a dozen humans and hundreds of bats began, and what was surprising was that the side that was passively defensive before had become the party that was actively attacking at this time, and the army of bats that were in a state of attack before had a faint intention to retreat, and hundreds of black shadows were fighting and retreating with vigilance.

At present, the victory or defeat of this battle has been decided, and the bats have retreated, but the exhausted human beings have burst out of nowhere with new courage and combat strength, and they have pounced on the huge bats that once made them fearful.

Maybe that's the power of unity! Or maybe it's because of a leader's strong appeal and appeal!

This also corresponds to the old saying, that is, "There will be a heart of death, and there will be no thought of stealing life!" ”

……

The battle continued until dawn, and after leaving nearly two hundred bats on the ground, the bats finally began to retreat towards the distant sky, and slowly lost sight.

And Chen Xiao and the others have been chasing them to the vicinity of the bonfire, the original bonfire has burned out, leaving only a large pile of black and white ashes in place, but the hope in everyone's hearts has not burned out, but rekindled, this was the starting point of everyone's resistance to the invaders, and it has also become the end of the battle......

Everyone was thrilled to see the bats disappear, but they didn't have the strength to cheer anymore, and they collapsed to the ground from exhaustion, leaving only the sound of heavy gasps echoing in the air......

And Chen Xiao not only exhausted his strength because of the continuous use of his special moves in the battle just now, but also had little energy left in the crystal nucleus, and his face was even more pale and terrifying, and his clothes and pants that were completely soaked with sweat were tightly attached to his sturdy body lying on the ground, as if he had just swam from the water to the shore......

It wasn't until a group of women, children, and old people in the house also discovered the defeat of the bat swarm and ran out excitedly that the cheers and screams broke the rare silence around everyone......
