Chapter 4 The army of "Heluo Niu".
The volume of the black shadow is getting bigger and bigger, and the sound of "buzzing" is getting stronger and stronger, and this kind of waiting for an unknown situation is the most likely to make people feel nervous, especially when this "buzzing" sound reaches the ears, which makes Li Yiheng's scalp explode. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Soon, these black shadows approached, and Li Yiheng could finally see clearly: this was a group of beetles the size of a book, with a black shell, a sharp mouth like pincers, and two slender tentacles covered with silver rings on the top of their heads, which were overwhelmingly surging towards the hull of the ship.
Li Yiheng exclaimed: "Isn't this the beetle 'and Luo Niu' mentioned in the book, how can it be so big, the theory of evolution has to be rewritten here." ”
Before the words fell, part of the insect swarm had already landed on the hull of the ship and began to gnaw on the wooden outer layer of the ship, Li Yiheng could clearly hear the sound of the insect swarm gnawing, dense and messy, and it was like thousands of ants crawling on the heart in Li Yiheng's ears.
The black swarm was devouring at such a fast speed that the back half of the hull had been gnawed to the steel skeleton inside, and the entire hull began to slowly fall downward.
Li Yiheng wanted to stop these beetles, and pulled out the umbrella blade and rushed to the swarm of insects attached to the hull of the ship, which was a mess, and the dense moves stabbed many insects, and after these unknown beetles were assassinated, dark green juice burst out of their bodies and splashed on Li Yiheng's body, which was more eye-catching than the bright watercolor paintings.
Then, some of the bugs turned to attack Li Yiheng, and soon surrounded Li Yiheng.
Li Yiheng sometimes turned the umbrella blade of his right arm into a shield to block the attack of the insect swarm, and sometimes unfolded the umbrella blade to cut the approaching black insects in two, and his movements were quite sharp. But these swarms are like a lingering haze, and they gather and disperse very quickly.
Moreover, the replacement of the insect swarm is also very fast, and there are constantly insects joining the team besieging Li Yiheng, these black beetles are not afraid of death, they pounce one after another, and bite many wounds on Li Yiheng's body.
Part of this beetle army attacked Li Yiheng, and part continued to gnaw at the hull of the ship, and Li Yiheng was forced to retreat to the bow of the ship step by step to fight the insect swarm.
"You brutes, return my boat!" Li Yiheng shouted angrily, and at the same time, the movement of his right arm attack became more rapid, and the insects that approached Li Yiheng were shot down one after another.
More insects attacked Li Yiheng, and soon, Li Yiheng was once again wrapped in the center of a dense swarm of insects, and his life and death were uncertain.
Seeing that Li Yiheng was trapped, Xiao Ji quickly expanded his body, rushed into the encirclement of insects at high speed, knocked out a gap in the encirclement, grabbed Li Yiheng, who was covered in blood, and fled to the plant bushes behind.
The large army of the insect army continued to gnaw on the hull of the fallen ship, and a small number followed the smell of Li Yiheng's blood to pursue the fleeing Li Yiheng, and a few insects had already caught up, grabbed Xiao Jing's wings, and opened his mouth to bite, but only bit a mouthful of down feathers, because the feathers on Xiao Jing's body after becoming bigger also hardened, as if wearing a pair of protective armor.
Xiao Ji carefully put Li Yiheng on the thorn strip, and the umbrella blade of Li Yiheng's right arm immediately stabbed to death a few beetles that were biting Xiao Yiheng's wings, and Xiao Ji quickly returned to normal and hid in Li Yiheng's pocket, because the bigger the target at this moment, the more vulnerable it is to the attack of the swarm.
Li Yiheng stood on these thorny plants, carefully avoiding the sharp thorns on them, and killing all the insects that caught up. Li Yiheng suddenly found a relatively spacious gap in the coiled plant net, so he used the umbrella blade to cut off all the thorns in the gap, drilled in, and opened the umbrella shield to block the entrance.
After eating the hull of the ship, the large army of insects rushed straight to the thorn nets, and a few insects were accidentally pierced by the spikes growing on these plants because they rushed too hard, and the corpses were nailed to them, struggling in pain, and most of them burrowed into the gaps between the thorns and disappeared.
There were a few beetles wandering around the gap where Li Yiheng was hiding, and Li Yiheng could even hear the screeching sound of insects biting the umbrella shield, but the umbrella shield could withstand any high-intensity physical attacks, and the teeth of the beetles would not pose any threat to the umbrella shield.
When Li Yiheng felt that the insects outside had evacuated, he drilled out of the gap, and saw that the boat that had been eaten by the insects had also fallen and disappeared, Li Yiheng's heart was about to break, and he shouted at the insects that had submerged in the thorns: "Return my boat, you brutes."
The insect swarm did not turn back because of Li Yiheng's shouting, Li Yiheng looked at the insect corpse nailed to the thorns and was still dripping some dark green body fluids, and Luo Niu's corpse was slowly shrinking and became a dry bone.
Li Yiheng grabbed the corpse of a worm and observed it carefully, and found that this was simply the original version of Heluo Niu, which was at least five times larger than the size described in the book, and the Heluo Niu described in the book only ate plants, but these seemed to be more interested in meat.
Li Yiheng looked at these plants again, the surface was covered with deep textures, like the cracks of a dry river channel, and those body fluids of Luo Niu spread in the texture, which were quickly absorbed by these plants.
"These plants look like thorns, but if they can go in, I'll follow them in and have a look. Li Yiheng shuttled through the labyrinthine web of plants, dodging protruding thorns everywhere, but his clothes were still torn by the thorns.
When shuttling in the thorn net, Li Yiheng found that in a thorn strip with sparse thorns, there was a fat white larva, only a head was exposed, and it was eating the plant flesh in the thorn strip, Li Yiheng wanted to reach out and catch it, but as soon as he touched its head, it quickly retracted.
"This could be the larvae of the Wagon cow. Li Yiheng thought about it and quickened his pace.
Finally, after Li Yiheng passed through the intertwined and complicated thorn nets, his eyes suddenly opened up, and he looked around, the light here was relatively dim, although it was not as bright as when he was on the surface of the sea, but he could still see the surrounding situation clearly: as far as the eye could see, there were endless trees, criss-crossed, some trees below were broken, as if they had just been eaten by some creature, and there were uneven marks on the trunks; looking at the heights, these thorn nets did not know where they extended, and only the black shadow of Sen Sen could be vaguely seen overwhelmingly covering the entire sky.
Li Yiheng jumped down layer by layer between the tree trunks, feeling that the ground under his feet was a little soft, and moss grew on the ground. Li Yiheng pulled out a parachute blade and slid to the ground, and through the split soil layer, he found that the ground was more composed of tree branches, and the soil merged into the cracks of the branches to form the surface.
Thinking about it, a miserable cry came from a distance, and Li Yiheng looked up to see that the group of He Luo Niu in front was gnawing on a branch not far away, and many wooden houses that were originally hanging on the branches fell one after another, hitting the trunk below and shattering.
The scream came from a man who had been bitten by several Heluo cows, who was rolling on the trunk of a tree at the moment, and he had transparent wings like dragonflies on his back, but in the blink of an eye, the wings disappeared, as if retracted into his body.
Looking at this group of hateful insects, Li Yiheng's anger at the loss of the ship just reignited, and he was agile in the branches
Climbing, with the help of the elastic jump of the tree trunk, he soon came to the side of the person who was attacked by the insects, unfolded the umbrella blade, and accurately cut off the heads of all the insects, and the person in front of him quieted down a little, and kept panting: "Thank you, I was almost eaten by them." ”
"It's not over yet, these insects are very dead and haven't fallen off yet, wait until I take them off. ”
Li Yiheng stretched out his hand to peel the corpse of the worm from the man's body, but the feet of the worms were as deeply embedded in the flesh as hooks, and with each foot pulled, the person in front of him let out a heart-rending cry.
Li Yiheng also reprimanded him: "Don't howl, it hurts to pull out a few flesh thorns like this, and it will attract other insects." ”
The reprimand had a noticeable effect, and the man in front of him clenched his teeth and only let out a dull moan.
Xiao Ji was woken up by the howl, and got out of Li Yiheng's pocket, because he held his breath for too long just now, his head was still a little dizzy, looking at the man with wings in front of him, and there was a "chirp" sound, and the frightened Li Yiheng pulled out the worm violently, and he took pity on the injured man, so he could only endure it.
Just as Li Yiheng was digging out the corpse of the last He Luo Niu, a group of warriors with the same dragonfly-like transparent wings held spears and wore green military uniforms like leaves, flew over Li Yiheng's head, attacking the insect swarm that was still gnawing at the branches in the distance, and the trembling wings also made a "buzzing" sound.
Li Yiheng asked the man in front of him: "Hey, who are you, how can you have wings?"
At this moment, the part of the man's body pierced by the insect foot was constantly oozing blood, lying on the trunk of the tree, and his breath was smoother: "We...... Be...... Qing people...... Please ...... Help ......", before the words were finished, the man fainted.
Xiao Ji flew into the air and saw that the Qing warriors in front of him were fighting with the insect swarm, and the Qing warriors were in groups of two, agile shuttling between the branches, using the trunk as a barrier, cooperating with each other, and the spears in their hands kept stabbing the approaching Heluo Niu, who was very experienced in combat;
With an overwhelming numerical advantage, the Heluo herd took turns attacking the small Qing clan, and the Qing warriors gradually lost their strength and fell behind.
Since the two sides were fighting in the air, Li Yiheng was powerful but had nowhere to play, standing on the trunk of the tree and watching the Qing warriors retreat, wishing that he would also grow wings.
"Wait a minute, wings?" Li Yiheng seemed to think of something, and beckoned Xiao Ji to come over: "Quick, you get bigger like you did just now, grab me and fly over." Li Yiheng was afraid that Xiao Ji would not understand, so he drew a movement in the air with both hands that swelled to both sides.
Xiao Ji flipped his wings and chirped to express his displeasure. Li Yiheng didn't see Xiao Ji swell and grow for a long time, and understood that Xiao Ji's physical strength had not yet recovered, so he ran in the direction of the battlefield alone, and Xiao Ji followed closely behind Li Yiheng.
The tide of the war has been reversed, and the Qing warriors scattered and fled under the repeated attacks of the huge Heluo herd, and the swarm pursued the fleeing Qing warriors, and many Qing soldiers were caught up and bitten by the swarm.
Li Yiheng panted and came to a fallen wooden house, rested against the fragments of the wooden house, and complained: "Don't talk about fighting if you run down, you will have to die of exhaustion first." Xiao Ji caught up and landed on top of Li Yiheng's head, Li Yi squinted horizontally, and said to it dissatisfiedly: "What kind of broken skill, you can only use it so many times, it's better to call you a little stupid chicken." ”
As the invasion of the insect swarm deepened, more and more civilian-looking Qing people fled from their houses, and invariably chose a certain direction below the insect swarm to escape, and Li Yiheng only knew the reason why these people chose that place afterwards.
The escape path of these people brought a perfect opportunity to the Heluo herd, only to see the insect swarm attacking the fleeing Qing civilians, surround them, and bite them frantically, and the wails suddenly resounded all around, making people shudder.
Li Yiheng, who had just finished counting the small chatters, heard the screams of the Qing civilians, took a deep breath, and quickly recovered a little physical strength, and continued to run in the direction of the screams. The branches as wide as the race track could not climb up, so they had to choose to jump between the thinner branches and the leaves the size of those pools, which greatly delayed Li Yiheng's rush to the rescue.
The Qing soldiers who had dispersed and fled earlier also heard the wails of their clansmen, tried their best to wrestle with the chasing swarm, and also flew in the direction of the besieged civilians, where there may be not only clan companions, but also their own relatives.
The Qing civilians leaned close to each other, surrounding the children in the middle, and the young, sturdy Qing people on the periphery held all kinds of tools at their disposal: daggers they carried with them, withered twigs, Even the shovels used for cooking, stabbing at the besieging insects, are all about to be doomed: the innermost children snuggle up tightly in their mothers' arms, watching their fathers bravely fight against the swarm, their bodies inevitably stained with blood splashed by the bites of the fathers, and when they hear the cries of the fathers in pain, they forget to cry, as if they want to keep all this firmly in their minds, but they don't know if they can escape this catastrophe.
Xiao Ji heard the screams, looked at the Qing civilians who were being slaughtered, and unconsciously became angry in his heart, inhaled again, and instantly swelled again, this time it was twice as big as just now, grabbed the surprised Li Yiheng, spread his wings, brought a gust of strong wind, and rushed towards the besieging insect swarm.
The Qing civilians were facing despair and were about to give up resisting, when they suddenly saw Li Yiheng descending in the sky like a god, and these civilians silently recited words such as "Mida reappears" and "Mida blesses", and instantly regained their confidence and stabbed the insects attacking around them again.
Xiao Ding's eyes were already red with anger, and he flapped his wings vigorously in the air at the insect swarm, stirring up a whirlwind that blew towards the insect swarm and blew the insect swarm into pieces. The besieged Qing civilians hugged each other so that they would not be blown apart.
Xiao Ji Fei was about to go down, Li Yiheng jumped in front of these people, unfolded an umbrella blade, and cut the immortal hearts and Luo Niu who surrounded him into two pieces, and completely killed them.
The remnants of the Qing warriors also rushed over at this time, each with wounds on their bodies, still holding spears to help Li Yiheng eliminate these scattered enemies.
At this time, the swarm turned around, gathered together again, and began to attack the behemoth, perhaps realizing that the small dragon was the real threat.
Xiao Ji saw that the black pressure of the insect swarm locked on to himself, and he let out a long roar, flapping his wings more and more vigorously, producing a more violent whirlwind, the whirlwind rolled up the insect swarm and crashed into the thorn net, many Heluo Niu were nailed by the thorns, struggling to die, and the remaining insect swarm crawled into the gap of the thorn net in a panic and fled.
Watching the swarm rout flee, everyone's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and they fell down to rest. The children hurried to their father's side, hoping to bring him some comfort. Li Yiheng looked at the scene in front of him, thinking of his parents, and his eyes couldn't help but be full of tears.
A Qing woman came to Li Yiheng and knelt down, and the rest of the Qing civilians also knelt in front of Li Yiheng one after another, repeating "Mida, Mida", and those Qing soldiers heard them shouting "Mida", and immediately got up, and also knelt in front of Li Yiheng, making Li Yiheng inexplicable, and hurriedly turned around and quietly wiped his eyes, and explained to them: "I am not a Mida, my name is Li Yiheng, and I just came here."
The crowd remained on their knees and refused to get up. Xiao Ji had returned to his original size at this moment, and stopped on Li Yi's horizontal shoulder, and everyone saw Xiao Ji hurriedly kneeling on the ground again.
At this time, the Qing people who Li Yiheng had saved before flew down in front of Li Yiheng with the support of two Qing soldiers, and said to Li Yiheng: "Thank you for saving me, my name is Qingping." ”
Li Yiheng looked at Qingping, who was covered with tourniquets all over his body, and pulled him over, but unconsciously put down his hand too heavy, and Qingping grinned in pain, Li Yiheng Qingping asked for help: "You came just in time, let them get up quickly." ”
Qing Ping said to everyone: "Get up, he is a foreigner, not Mida."
Everyone raised their heads and glared at Qingping, and continued to kneel on the ground, the expression was like facing the enemy, Qingping shook his head helplessly, and said to Li Yiheng: "You come with me, I'll explain to you later."
Qingping was supported by two soldiers, and two soldiers carried Li Yiheng and flew into the distance, and those Qing civilians still knelt in the direction of Li Yiheng's departure, without the slightest intention of getting up.
Qingping led the way in front and flew towards the depths of the branches, Li Yiheng saw from the air that many wooden houses were scattered on the branches, which had been destroyed, but there were still pieces of houses hanging from the branches, like a small city, "It seems that this is the residence of the Qing people", Li Yiheng guessed, "Although it has been looted by the swarm, it has only destroyed a small part, so as not to hurt the vitality." ”
Looking at the messy scene below and the Qing people who were cleaning up the wreckage of the building, Li Yiheng became more and more curious about this place.
