Chapter 173: Search and Exterminate (5)
More than a hundred gnolls, fleeing, dying.
They actually have no way to escape, but many of them have completely lost their heads and run towards their nests.
Is it easier to hold on to a nest, or is it decided that the nest underground is safer and humans won't attack rashly?
Either way, they are led to the dead.
This kind of escape greatly weakened the last resistance of the jackals, so Luo Ming's side annihilated the last bit of stubborn resistance with an overwhelming advantage, and those who escaped were not bad if they could extend their lives for an hour.
Luo Ming dedicated his men to clean up the battlefield, mend the gnolls who were not dead, and treat the wounded on his side.
At the same time, the moist firewood was also collected, lit on the fire, and then thrown towards the jackal's hole**.
Then, he and Grant came out of the crowd and slashed their swords at the top of the cave!
The full strength of the two swordsmen's blows stacked together, enough to pierce the boulder!
The two rays of fighting light merged almost unhindered, and then sank deep into the rock at the top of the cave.
There was a muffled sound, and in the next instant, several huge cracks appeared on the roof of the cave, and pieces of rock fell down, almost sealing the entrance to the cave.
Luo Ming did not hesitate to give a cold order, asking the idle people at hand to carry some small stones and dirt, plugging every gap as much as possible, and then pouring water on it, so that no fresh air could flow into the cave.
The gnolls who fled into the cave were not all fools, but they were only frightened for the time being. Now some gnolls have reacted, and Luo Ming is doing this to smoke them all to death in the hole!
From behind the pile of rocks, there were faint howls of anger or despair, and a gnolls could be faintly heard trying to dig up the dirt.
Although even if they dug up the earth and rocks and were not smoked to death, they would still be killed by the people guarding the entrance of the cave, but Luo Ming didn't even want to leave this opportunity to these gnolls.
Maybe it's a kind of anger - the strange dream that almost succeeded in trapping himself has something to do with the gnolls, and this alone has a good reason to make the gnolls die!
Luo Ming's own fighting energy was almost exhausted, so he took Granty's hand, quickly established the harmony of breathing, and borrowed some fighting energy from her as an energy supply for Cang Yan.
In the next moment, he grabbed a spear, and Cang Yan completely engulfed it in an instant.
The spear pierced into the pile of earth and stone almost without hindrance, and a large cloud of flame poured into the back of the pile of earth and stone along this passage, and at the same time, the spear also turned into ashes due to the excessive force it withheld, shattered and drifted away, and completed its mission.
No one could see what was happening behind the rocks, only a terrible scream.
The others may have shuddered a little, but Luo Ming had already turned his head and stopped caring about the earth and stone.
His own fighting spirit is almost exhausted, and now is not yet the time to be completely at ease, maybe he will meet the master of the jackals who have been going out before and have only rushed back at this moment.
Or maybe there are still gnolls alive and launching a suicide attack when they get into the cave later...... In short, the risk has not been reduced to zero, and the vindictiveness must be properly replenished.
"Chop off all the heads of the jackals, rip off the valuable things on their bodies, and pile the corpses together!"
When his subordinates did the same, Luo Ming threw out the flame of Cang Yan at the large pile of corpses - he had consumed a lot in the battle just now, and there was only a little fighting energy left to supply Cang Yan.
However, these gnolls are dead, and with corpses as fuel, Cangyan burns much faster than the body of a living person, and it grows stronger very quickly.
It didn't take long for a huge fire more than a man tall to appear.
People looked at this huge flame in awe, and because of the great lethality it had shown on the battlefield before, these people even subconsciously hid a little farther away.
In fact, the shape of the flame is only the outward manifestation of the supernatural power of Cangyan, which can flow like water, be viscous like oil, or sweep like the wind.
At this moment, under Luo Ming's constraints, it has reined in all its lethality, and can only burn dead things, even if it throws the living into it, at most it will be burned off clothes, hair and eyebrows.
Gradually, the corpse of the jackal turned to ashes, and Luo Ming put his hand into the fire as if to calm it down, and pretended to mutter, and then the flame really grew smaller, and finally died out completely.
In fact, only Luo Ming and Grant knew that more than eighty percent of these Cang Yan returned to Luo Ming's body, and then turned into fighting spirit and vitality.
It can be said that this time is a bumper harvest - his fighting spirit has returned to a state that is several percent more than before the war, and his physical fitness has also increased a little.
After all, a swordsman and a high-level swordsman are two different realms, just like a bucket has become a large water tank, and the amount of fighting energy that can be held is completely different.
The amount of water that could have spilled out of the bucket was put into the tank, but it was only filled with a base, and it could not even reach half the height of the tank.
When the new water tank is filled, it will be time to try to break through the sword master realm, but this is still a very ambitious goal for both Luo Ming and Granty.
According to Aya's estimates, even a genius like Grant would take two to three years to break through when the supply of resources is super abundant.
Although Luo Ming's talent is not bad, his Xuanhai Dou Qi capacity is five times that of ordinary people...... In other words, it takes five times as much fighting energy to fill his extra-large water tank, and there is a possibility of a breakthrough.
If he didn't rely on Cang Yan, he might have to spend half his life on this matter.
Therefore, he was actually very fond of such a thing as clearing the gnolls - the corpse was used as the fuel for Cang Yan, and it could give him a lot of power. Quickly complete the accumulation of raw capital in the midst of blood.
Of course, relying on this ability, he can also completely embark on the path of cultists, slaughtering village by village and town by town, and the more he kills, the stronger he becomes......
But Luo Ming still has his own bottom line, and he can't do such a thing as killing innocents in large numbers.
If Luo Ming was the kind of murderer who had no taboos, maybe he would use the bones of hundreds of thousands of innocent people to lift him all the way to the realm of legends and even demigods, but that was no longer a possibility.
