Chapter 240: Fierce Battle
Now we are already surrounded, twelve people form a circle, slowly moving outward, and each of them has two torches in their hands, those poisonous centipedes are stopped outside for a while, lingering, and seem to be very afraid of the torches in our hands-
I held the torch in one hand, the dagger in the other, my heart was pounding, even when I was in the Taishan Underground Palace, we didn't mix to the point of being surrounded, at that time, those bone-eating insects were powerful, but they have been left behind by us, but today in the desert, they are silently surrounded by these centipedes, and the ferocity of this centipede seems to be even more powerful than those bone-eating insects.
We slowly moved out dozens of steps, those centipedes always moved with the side, maintaining an encirclement formation, we did not dare to quickly impact outward, because as long as the formation was chaotic, those centipedes rushed up, even if we had torches, weapons would not help, because from the situation of Cheng Zi just now, these centipedes are clearly highly poisonous, once bitten, the body is paralyzed, then they can't run, they can only become centipedes' dinner, leaving a pile of bones in this vast Gobi.
Suddenly, a large centipede came out of the team and quickly swam up from its feet, and a member of the team next to me was quick and immediately swung his knife to cut the centipede that pounced on him in half. The corpse of the centipede twisted on the ground, but half of its body surged up violently, biting on the shin of the team member.
The team member let out a low cry, grabbed the half of the centipede and threw it away, and quickly shone it with a torch, but the centipede's mouthparts were still stuck in his calf, and he even couldn't stop writhing!
The face was so terrifying that the centipede's mouthparts seemed to be about to get into his legs, and when he saw a black line going up his calf, he let out a cry of terror, and stabbed his knife into his leg, and with one pick and a rip, he removed the centipede's mouthparts along with a piece of meat.
A stream of blood rushed out, the man was also a man, he couldn't stand down, someone next to him immediately tore off the bandage and bandaged him, Lao Pan looked back at this scene next to him, and shouted in a deep voice: "Anyone who falls down is not allowed to affect his partner, otherwise everyone will die here." ”
The man's face was covered with sweat, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Master Pan, even if you die, you will pull a few cushions, and you will never cause trouble!" ”
Zhang Ye also said: "Everyone, pay attention, this centipede is huge, no more than ordinary poisonous insects, even if they are cut off, they can still survive for a period of time. ”
Lu Haikong also said: "Yes, also, if any of you miss and break through the circle, the people next to you must make up for it immediately, otherwise the formation will be chaotic and the enemy will be attacked on the back of the abdomen, and we will explain here today." ”
Everyone responded, and the atmosphere immediately became more and more tense, and we changed and walked out for more than a dozen steps, and suddenly heard Lao Pan shouting: "Here!" ”
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly saw a huge centipede crawling over like lightning, and its sharp fangs flashed in the firelight.
Seeing this formation, how dare I slack off, I hurriedly danced the two torches impermeable, and together with the people next to me, I blocked all the menacing huge poisonous insects outside. This trick did work, those centipedes pounced forward several times, and were forced back by the torches several times, although a few of them were not afraid to die to get in, but under the daggers of the expedition members, they also died tragically with their heads cut off.
At this moment, we quickly moved out a distance, and those poisonous centipedes did not break through under our tight defense. But then I heard Zhang Ye exclaim in front, I turned my head to look, and saw that there was also a dense centipede in front of me, and a centipede lying in front suddenly stood up, in the surrounding firelight, we could see clearly, the centipede was blood-red, more than a meter long, standing up with countless big claws waving, and it looked terrifying!
And after the appearance of this blood-red centipede, the other centipedes instead lay on the ground, I faintly foresaw in my heart that something was not good, the huge blood centipede was clearly the leader of this, could we not escape this time
Tug was already trembling in the middle of the circle, and couldn't stop muttering about the blood dragon, the blood dragon, I looked at the blood-red giant centipede in front of me and then I understood, it seems that the name of the blood dragon should be the largest centipede.
At this moment, five or six ordinary centipedes jumped out from behind the huge centipede, crawled quickly along the ground, and attacked the legs of several people in front of them.
I saw that the cold sweat flowed, and I saw that Zhang Ye was the first to bear the brunt, it was the target of the attack of those centipedes, he leaned over in a half-squatting position, and his right hand was like lightning to cut off the heads of the three centipedes standing on each other. With his left hand, he swiped horizontally across the ground at a very fast speed, cutting off all the heads of the five centipedes in a row.
But these centipedes went one after another, and the row in front had just died, and several in the back had been made up, and the movements were swift and orderly. Each platoon has different attack patterns and directions, with ground attacks, upright attacks, and some flying sneak attacks.
Zhang Ye raised his knife and killed several centipedes one after another, and several people next to him also quickly stepped forward to help, only to see several knife lights flickering in the firelight, flying up and down, left and right, accurately cutting off those centipedes one by one, and soon laid down a layer of centipede corpses in front.
Looking at this terrifying scene, I couldn't help but be frightened, but I didn't dare to be distracted, because there were still many centipedes on our side, and they could rush up at any time.
But the strange thing is that those centipedes shook their heads and didn't come up, as if they didn't dare to compete with the blood centipede, but as a large number of centipedes in front of them were slashed and killed, the blood centipede finally let out a piercing scream, and its body began to swing from side to side.
This is the first time I have heard a centipede scream, and the sound is heartbreaking, and I saw that with the two days of whiskers on the top of the centipede's head, as if in command, the centipedes around us suddenly rushed up!
Seeing that the centipedes were like a tide, we kept waving the torches, but at this time the torches were far less powerful than just now, and countless centipedes rushed up, and we immediately waved our daggers and sabers, and flew up and down, and fought with the group of centipedes.
Of course, I have the Tiangang Sword in my backpack, but the sword is too heavy and difficult to wield, so it is not suitable for fighting this kind of small thing, and what I am holding now is a short knife from Zhang Ye, one and a half feet long, which is very handy. Although my knife skills and eyesight are much worse, but in this case, I can't take care of it, the torch in my left hand is constantly waving, trying to drive away the centipedes in front of me, and the knife in my right hand is sometimes out, but I also hacked several centipedes to death, and it was unharmed.
But there are hundreds of centipedes, and we slashed and killed for a while, and two more people were injured, and Lu Haikong also brandished a knife, slashing and killing centipedes, and shouted: "This can't be done, capture the thief and capture the king, kill the big guy first, it must be the centipede king!" ”
His words are on point, but it is almost impossible to do, because the centipede king is more than ten meters away from us, and there are dense centipedes along the way.
Zhang Ye slashed the centipede in front of him with a few knives and shouted, "I'm coming!" ”
He rushed out without hesitation, grabbed a short knife and bit it in his mouth, holding a long knife in each hand, constantly harvesting the centipede heads along the way, and rushed out four or five meters away in a blink of an eye, killing into the encirclement of the centipede circle.
Lao Pan exclaimed: "Be careful! "I was about to step forward to help, but a centipede weirdly rushed up from the side, almost biting his wrist, Lao Pan flashed fast, but it was a stumbling, I swung a knife next to me in time, and the centipede was decapitated, which solved Lao Pan's crisis.
At this moment, Zhang Ye advanced more than two meters, only to hear him shout, he threw out the short knife that was bitten in his mouth, and in the darkness, he saw a flash of knife light, and flew straight towards the head of the centipede king!
The centipede king was swinging his body, seeing that the knife was about to hit, but at this moment, the centipede king seemed to anticipate the danger, and with a sharp shake of his body, the flying knife flew against the centipede king's head and neck
The Forbidden Land of the Celestial Tomb is a lost city
