Chapter 2: Night Attack

"Toot!toot!toot...!"

In the middle of the night there was the sound of a bull's horn. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Ping Lei immediately woke up, looked at Wei Yunxin, who also woke up, and said, "I'll go out first to see the situation, you stay here and don't come out!"

"Well, you have to be careful!"

"What's the situation?" Ping Lei shouted out of the tent to Feng You.

"There are alien insects, there seem to be quite a few of them, it is too dark to see clearly, at least dozens of them. Just now, one of our sentry brothers has been divided by the insects, but fortunately, today we arranged for 6 brothers to sentry and blew the horn in time. ”

"Are there so many insects? Are there any other species besides ants?"

"I don't know yet!"

"In the entire mercenary group, I am currently a high-level silver knight, you have just advanced to a beginner-level silver knight, and most of the other brothers are trainee knights, they will definitely not be able to withstand so many insects!

"Okay, I'll go!"

Ping Lei returned to the tent, holding Ping An with one hand and Wei Yunxin with the other, and walked out of the tent.

"Be careful!"

As soon as he got out of the tent, Pinglei didn't have time to shout out his words, only to see the forelimbs of a huge ant insect outside the tent attacking Wei Yunxin's chest.

The ants stand more than three meters high, their limbs are thick and powerful, and they are stuck to the ground in a zigzag shape, and the huge upper palate connects the body and the forelimbs, the forelimbs are as sharp as a praying mantis's broadsword, and the upper palate is like a huge eagle's beak. The black and yellow stripes on the whole body are intertwined, and it is difficult to find without careful observation at night, like a cold-blooded killer in the night.

There was no time to dodge, and the ant's sharp forelimbs pierced Wei Yunxin's shoulders directly.

Ping Lei was in a hurry, let go of the hand holding Xin'er, pulled out a wide heavy sword from his back, and slashed angrily at the antworm.

With a click, the antworm's forelimbs were split off, and dark green blood sprayed from the fracture.

The angry ant worm bit down on Pinglei's waist with a pair of huge palates.

Ping Lei quickly dodged one of the flanks, lifted his heavy sword and leaped high, slashing at the head behind the ant's palate from above. The sound of bones shattering sounded, and I saw the heavy sword smash the antworm's skull and insert it into it, and then slapped the hilt of the sword hard, and the antworm's head was shaken to pieces, and then fell to the ground.

"Xin'er, is Xin'er okay?" Pinglei said distressedly as he pulled out the forelimbs of the alien insect inserted into Wei Yunxin's shoulder.

"I... I'm fine, I can temporarily close the wound with a spell and it won't bleed too much, go and help them. Wei Yunxin's voice was weak.

"Okay, you must not have anything to do!" Ping Lei held Ping An in one hand and held Wei Yunxin in the other, and quickly rushed to the carriage.

"Luo Xue, Dong Yan, come and watch your sister-in-law and children, I'll take my brothers to kill insects!" After sending Wei Yunxin and the children to the carriage, Ping Lei commanded loudly.

"Commander, there are too many ants and insects in front, I took my brothers to kill 3 ants and insects and already killed 5 brothers, what should I do?" Feng You said anxiously.

"There were also ants and insects behind the tent in the camp just now, and your sister-in-law was injured by the sneak attack, and we are already surrounded by insect swarms. Xin'er had just given birth to a child and was injured and too weak to use spells, so now she had to fight hard. ”

"All the brothers obey the order! Those who have reached the strength of the apprentice knights all pick up their shields and move closer to the carriage! Those who have reached the bronze knight stand outside the apprentice knight brothers, tighten their defenses and support each other! I will support the deputy regiment back and forth! Ping Lei shouted, and then smashed into the swarm that gradually surrounded him.

......

As time passed, the number of ants and insects did not decrease, and it had completely surrounded the carriage.

Wei Yunxin watched in despair as Ping Lei fought back and forth between four or five ants and insects, and the brothers next to the carriage fell one by one, and it couldn't last long if it continued like this.

The corpses of eight ants had fallen beside Ping Lei, and many of his bodies were scratched by the sharp forelimbs of the ants.

Suddenly, an ant insect took advantage of Ping Lei's fighting and didn't have time to dodge, jumped up from behind him, and the giant jaw attacked Ping Lei's head.

"Brother Lei, be careful!" Wei Yunxin shouted excitedly when she saw Ping Lei in distress in the carriage with Ping An in her arms.

Hearing the sound, Ping Lei subconsciously leaned to the right, but he still didn't have time to completely avoid it, and the giant jaws of the ants and insects firmly bit Ping Lei's left arm like scissors.

The snapping sound of broken bones sounded, and Ping Lei's left arm had separated from his body, and blood spurted out a line of blood. Ping Lei roared angrily, raised his heavy sword with his right hand, and slammed it at the ant insect biting his left arm......

Tears flowed out of the corners of Wei Yunxin's eyes unconsciously, she knew that she had to find a way, otherwise everyone would have to die. Including the newborn child in his arms, but he is currently weak and can't release any attack spells.

"By the way, there is also a method of burning life, which is at the cost of the mage's life source, burning the life source makes the potential burst out in a short period of time and obtain powerful mana, the higher the level of the mage, the stronger the mana. This is a forbidden technique that burns life, and can be used by every mage as long as it ignites the source of life. But it can only be used once in a lifetime, and as long as it is used, the magic cultivation of the body will be scrapped, and the lifespan will be shortened. If you keep igniting the source of life and don't stop, you will eventually lose your soul and your life will disappear, and the consequences will be irreversible. "That's it, Wei Yunxin thought to herself.

In order to save her beloved man and child, Wei Yunxin did not hesitate at all, folded her hands and concentrated on reciting the forbidden technique silently, igniting the fire of the origin of life in her brain.

Suddenly, the mana elements around Wei Yunxin burst together.

"Fire Barrier!" Wei Yunxin silently recited the spell, and suddenly with herself as the center, a circle of light blue flames with a diameter of twenty zhang suddenly appeared on the ground, and the ants were ignited at the moment and retreated in pain.

This is a large-scale spell that must reach the level of high-level magicians to have enough mana to support, but it is suddenly manifested under the drive of igniting the source of life.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the wall of fire, he was in a hurry, knowing that it must be Wei Yunxin's heartache, and he waved his heavy sword with his right hand and slashed at the insect in front of him, and suddenly the sword qi was released.

The ant insect in front of him was split in half by the sword qi, and the sword qi had not yet dissipated and continued to slash towards the rear. It didn't dissipate until it passed through the torsos of the three ants directly behind one after another.

Ping Lei, who was forced to be in a hurry, also broke through to the junior golden knight at this critical moment, and he was able to release his fighting power.

"Ahh

As soon as Ping Lei broke through, he didn't have time to rejoice and roared angrily and pounced on the 8 ants who were still in the fire circle.

"Everyone, hold on, the ants and insects will be killed immediately!" Feng You shouted.

......

Soon after, all the ants and insects in the fire circle were killed, and only 9 people left in the wind and rain mercenary group, including Wei Yunxin. With the help of the fire, they can see that there are hundreds of ants and insects surrounding them outside the fire ring, waiting for the fire ring to be extinguished.

"Xin'er! stop, Xin'er...!" Ping Lei rushed to the carriage and shouted at Wei Yunxin, who was sitting in the carriage with his hands crossed, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly and silently recited the incantation.

Wei Yunxin opened her eyes and saw that the ants and insects outside the fire ring had not decreased, and then looked at Ping An who was lying between her legs wrapped and only showed her small face, and then looked at Ping Lei who had a broken arm outside the carriage with a sad face, the tears in her eyes flooded again, and she unconsciously flowed down her beautiful cheeks, and shook her head firmly under Ping Lei's pleading gaze.

It's been more than 9 months since the bone spur soul passed through the space passage. Through this period of study, I have basically learned the language of humans on this mysterious continent, and I have gradually understood that I have experienced a legendary rebirth and the memory of my past life still exists.

Just today, Bone Spur has his new name "Ping'an" after his rebirth, and he has parents who he has never had in his memory in his previous life.

Happiness comes too suddenly, and it goes too. Soon after Heian was born, he couldn't open his eyes and couldn't see, but he could hear the tragedy of the outside world.

Ping An wanted to be able to take a look at his parents in the next life now, but he couldn't open his eyelids with all his strength when he was just born, just squeezing a few crystal tears.

Time passed, the wall of fire was still not extinguished, and Ping Lei cried bitterly in front of the carriage with peace in his arms. Feng You and the remaining brothers of the Wind and Rain Mercenary Group stood silently around the carriage.

"Commander, look, the ants and insects are starting to withdraw. The sky should be about to dawn!" Feng You said in a low voice.

Ping Lei came back to his senses, looked at the retreating insect swarm, and immediately shouted: "Xin'er, stop!

There was no echo from inside the carriage, and the wall of fire continued to burn.

Ping Lei couldn't hold back any longer and ran into the carriage. Seeing that Wei Yunxin's face was no longer bloody, only a thin trace of magical elements was still wandering around her, and it looked like it was about to dissipate completely.

He knew it was too late, and the wall of fire that was still burning was the magic of Wei Yunxin's remaining will. When the surrounding magical elements disappear completely, the wall of fire will be extinguished.

Ping Lei walked out of the carriage like a zombie: "Feng You, take the remaining brothers who are still alive, our dead guys are loaded into the carriage, and you don't want anything else except for the goods." ”

"What about the corpse of the ant worm in the regiment leader, I counted twenty-three together, and I can only exchange it for a lot of money, don't you want it?" Feng You said.

"If you don't bring the refining scroll out, you can't refine it on the spot, then forget it, you can do without money, but the dead brothers must be brought back, and you can't let them die in the wilderness!"

"Okay, Captain, I'll arrange it. ”

As the night faded away, dawn came, and the wall of fire was extinguished as if it were a coincidence.

"Sister-in-law bless us in the spirit of heaven, brothers set off! Take the brothers who died in battle home together!" Feng You ordered.
