Chapter 49: Cracks

Little by little, time passed.

The soldiers who arrived at the door rotated twice, but there was still no movement in the depths of the cave behind him, Ye Xi anxiously looked back behind him from time to time, eager to go inside to see how the rock was excavated.

It's a pity that he himself is just an ordinary person, and there is a bunch of fighters digging in it, and one more reserve soldier can't help him at all......

Yong took turns to rest, he leaned against the wall, hammered his arm that was sore from excessive force, and said to Ye Xi: "The rock wall inside is not so quickly pried down, I know that the rock wall is extremely hard." ”

A clansman opened the water bladder plug and handed the water bladder to Yong, Yong took it and couldn't wait to drink a few big sips, seeing that the clansmen's expressions were a little restless, he comforted: "Our block of the door is not so brittle, it should be able to hold on for a while......

Click.

As soon as the words fell, a faint crisp cracking sound came from the boulder.

Ye Xi and Yong's bodies stiffened, and at the same time they turned their heads in disbelief.

A tiny, twisted crack appeared on the top of the boulder.

The clansmen present kept their eyes on the rocks, and when the crack appeared, they all took a breath of cold air.

There was a faint pause in the witch's chanting.

The chieftains, who were desperately trying to reach the door, did not notice, their necks were bulging, and all their mental strength was on resisting the huge force, while the witch was still chanting, and there was no way to stop.

Ye Xi immediately made a decision and shouted: "Hurry! The resting warriors immediately all went into the depths of the cave to help dig rocks, and the warriors here will hold on during this time!

The warriors who were resting on the ground woke up like a dream, and instantly bounced up from the ground, ignoring their aching bodies, and rushed to the depths of the cave.

Click!

There was a slight crunch, and another crack opened.

At this time, even the warriors who were desperately trying to reach the door noticed it, and looked up at the top of their heads in horror.

Ye Xi shouted: "Concentrate on holding on! Don't be distracted!"

Now there are no warriors at the entrance of the cave except for the eight who arrived at the door, and once their minds are shaken and their strength is relaxed, the insect tide will instantly break through the defense line and pour into the cave.

Click.

The crack spread from the top of the boulder to the center.

Ye Xi stared at the crack, holding the bow handle tightly, and his palms were already sweaty.

The women clung to their children, their faces sad and staring at the rift with frightened eyes.

The men gritted their back molars with weapons in their hands, determined to fight the insect to the death.

None of them had any intention of running deeper into the cave, because it was useless to run even to the innermost part, and the bugs would flood all corners of the cave.

All eyes on the cracks.

Ye Xi held his breath, he put the bow and arrow back on his back, untied the three-edged army hanging from his waist, and held it in his hand.

Maybe in the next moment, the whole rock will be torn apart, and the endless giant insects outside will pour into the cave like a tide, and the bow and arrow will definitely be useless.

There is no hope of surviving under this insect tide, and if you can kill one before you die, it will be a return to your roots.

The air froze, and there was no sound other than the incessant chanting of the witch.

Puff puff, puff, under the extreme silence, Ye Xi seemed to hear the sound of heartbeats one after another.

After ten breaths, the rock didn't move.

After twenty breaths, the rock didn't move.

Sixty breaths later, the rock still didn't move.

In this suffocatingly tense air, the terrifying sound of shattering did not sound again.

This made Ye Xi feel hope in his heart again.

Maybe it's still too late......

At this moment, there was a rush and chaos of footsteps from behind him!

Ye Xi's eyes lit up suddenly, and he looked back violently.

Click, click!!

The rock erupted in a series of crackling sounds.

Ye Xi turned his head in disbelief and saw that the huge rock had cracked like a spider's web at this moment!

The sound of rushing running behind you came!

"Hurry-" Ye Xi roared back frantically!

"Ahh

"Ahh

The sound echoed through the cave.

Click!!

The sound of cracks exploded again.

Pu Tai and a few other warriors blushed and carried a huge rock on their backs, staring at each other and rushing towards this side with their eyes in their eyes!

Bang!

There was a loud bang behind him.

Ye Xi looked back in despair.

A large hole was made in the middle of the boulder, and a hideous insect head was poking out of the middle!

At this moment, the cracks on the boulder can already be called cracks, seeing that the boulder is about to shatter in the next second, and the overwhelming insects outside will squeeze into the cave to step on the Tushan tribe, but the warriors carrying the boulder behind them are only a few dozen meters away!

Ye Xi's face is like dead ashes.

Unwilling, too unwilling! Why! It's just a little bit close!!

At this moment, Wu Zhong slammed his cane.

Bang!

The bone staff hit the ground, and the earth made a muffled sound.

The witch's eyes were fixed on the entrance of the cave, and the chanting suddenly became very loud, piercing and sharp.

The worm that writhed in the crack in the rock, and saw that it was about to burrow into the cave, froze and did not move.

The warriors who arrived at the door felt that the great force outside had suddenly disappeared.

"Get out of the way !!"

The warriors behind him ran wildly, only a dozen steps away from the entrance of the cave, carrying boulders and roaring in unison at the soldiers who arrived at the door.

The warriors who arrived at the door immediately retreated.

Bang!

The warriors worked together to block the new rock.

Wu stopped chanting, stood still and took a few short breaths, his face becoming a little gray.

When the chanting stopped, the insect tide slammed into the cave again, and the old rocks outside were instantly smashed into several pieces.

As soon as the old rock was broken, and the new rock had not yet embedded in the hole, the insects squeezed through the cracks.

The warriors worked together to push the new rock out with all their might.

Bang, the sound of rocks crashing against the mountain wall.

Finally blocked.

Ye Xi looked at the rock that firmly blocked the entrance of the cave for a moment, breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and then felt that his knees were a little weak, so he slowly sat down against the mountain wall.

For a moment now, he had given up hope, but he didn't expect that Wu Li would turn the tide and have the means to make the insects stop attacking.

Ye Xi turned his head to look at Wu.

Wu refused the food and water offered by his people, and was sitting on the ground resting with his eyes closed.

All the clansmen were looking at witches like him, and their eyes were full of reverence and dependence from the heart.

Wu opened his eyes after resting for a while: "This mountain rock can last for about a day, and the insect tide will recede at some point, and the warriors will rest for a while before going to dig the mountain rock in the depths of the cave." ”

"Yes, Wu!" said the warriors in unison.

All the clansmen looked at each other, and their eyes were full of excitement and joy for the rest of their lives.

......

The tide of insects, which made people desperate, did not subside until after three days and three nights, during which the insects attacked frantically, they did not look like people, they had to rest at night, and when night fell, they attacked even more fiercely.

Tu Shan's warriors were exhausted, and if it weren't for Wu chanting blessings for a moment to restore their strength, I believe they would not have been able to hold on.

During these three days, the other ordinary people were also uncomfortable, and the food stored by the tribe had been almost consumed during the previous evacuation.

The soldiers arrived at the door with great physical exertion, and it was impossible for the tribe to make the warriors hungry, so all the food was given to them, and the ordinary people only had water to drink except for a small amount of food for children and the elderly.

Ye Xi refused the special treatment, and did not eat any food for the three days and three nights like the rest of the clansmen.

You can't starve to death without food for three days, and if the warriors lose their strength, they all die.

During this period, Wu should be the hardest one.

Because the warriors can still rest in shifts, but the witch has never rested.

In the past three days, Ye Xi has been looking at Wu's face worriedly, for fear that he will fall. But Wu actually carried it stubbornly, and it was not until the insect tide receded that Wu had been standing straight before he staggered and sat down on the ground.
