Chapter 312: Night Attack Countermeasures
On the way back, Feng Ren was still sitting in the carriage of the previous mercenary group. In order to quickly escape, the carriage has been abandoned. But there was no need to hurry back now, and at the command of the Iron Commander, the strongest horses were once again dragged by the reins in several wagons.
Feeling the slight tremor of the carriage, Feng Ren still felt a little uneasy in his heart, not only because he was injured again, but also because he was worried about the enemy Abyss Worm not long ago. Since it is controlled by a certain force, there is no reason to let them leave with peace of mind. From Zhao Jianyang's mouth, he already knew that the carriage was slow, and if he wanted to return to the nearest town, he would have to do it tomorrow afternoon.
This night is destined to be spent in the sea of sand. If it's a sneak attack, the dark night is naturally the best time.
And Zhao Jianyang also expected this, and took the lead in sending a small team of people to rush back as quickly as possible to find someone to answer. This time, even if it is a rapid march, I am afraid that it will be late at night to successfully meet the division.
The possibility of danger has not been eliminated.
"Are you feeling better?"
Looking at Feng Ren's slightly thoughtful appearance and frowning slightly, Tie Tong, who was leaning on the side, couldn't help but ask. Don't look at his broken arm, his mental state is still very good, except that he is not used to the broken balance bar, there is almost no difference.
Feng Ren heard the voice and responded: "It's okay, but it's you, I broke an arm, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult in the future." The days of the mercenary group are full of dangers in themselves......"
Tie Tong sighed and said, "Yes, no matter what, the strength will definitely be reduced." In the past few years, I know that Jia Zuoding has been dissatisfied with me and wants to be the head of the regiment himself, and I have deliberately embarrassed him in many places, but in fact, it is to sharpen. When his brother kept me, he actually asked me to temporarily act as the head of the regiment for a few years, and then hand it over to Jia Zuoding when he was able to take on the big responsibility. Now he is still lacking, but there is nothing else to do. ”
"It seems that your previous head of the regiment believed in you. Under normal circumstances, people who are accustomed to holding positions of power are unlikely to give up that power. With all due respect, if it weren't for the injury to your arm this time, how long would it be before you would be willing to give way?" Feng Ren seemed to ask casually, but there was already a hint of special meaning in his expression.
Tie Tong was stunned, pondered for a while before speaking again: "It is estimated that it will take another five years." You're right, in fact, I'm still a little reluctant. Perhaps, this broken arm is actually God's punishment for me, blaming me for my selfishness that has swelled over the years......"
"Destiny? I never believed in that. If there were, I would have been blinded by most of the gods who were worshipped by the world. In this world, strength has always been respected, so how can there be such a thing as karma? Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, but when will it really come to an end?" Feng Ren did not say these words, but only meditated in his heart. Since you can't change it, you can only bear it silently, but this doesn't mean giving in.
At this time, Brother Wudao passed on a few words to Feng Ren: "In the sea of sand under your feet, there is an abyss worm following, but it is far from the ground. If you don't want to take the initiative, with the current strength of your team, no one will be able to hurt it. ”
Sure enough, I let them go without preparation, and finally followed. While Feng Ren was worried, he asked Brother Wudao again: "Is there only one?"
Brother Wudao replied: "Yes, there is only one at present. Moreover, I have a vague feeling that the combat effectiveness of these abyssal worms is very wrong. As far as I know, they shouldn't be so easy to deal with, and they were all wiped out by the combined efforts of two people of the first level of the realm. ”
Feng Ren snorted: "No matter what it is, it always comes and can't hide, so you can only prepare in advance." However, with such a team, can it really stop those giant beasts that shuttle through the sea of sand? If there are too many of them, there are very few people here who can protect themselves if they sneak out of the ground en masse. ”
In the midst of worry, time passed slowly, and soon it was late at night. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is enormous, and it is very hot and sweaty during the day, but it is likely to be shivering cold at night.
Since there was no fire nearby, the stars and moonlight in the night sky were also very dim, except for a few bonfires that could reflect a circle of area, almost everything outside was completely swallowed up by the pitch-black night, which was particularly terrifying to see. The sand dunes seem to be creeping fierce beasts that may pounce at any time.
Dinner is still nibbling on dry and hard cooking cakes, at this time, Feng Ren can't help but think of Yu Wenkun, if he is that foodie, he should be able to rub some food. There's never a shortage of good food in his storage rings.
The resources of the Eastern Continent can be regarded as the most barren, which is not only reflected in the concentration of spiritual energy that pervades heaven and earth, but also the lack of various equipment. In such a place, storage rings are almost priceless, and most of them are pitifully small, and people who travel through the desert basically use them to store water, not food.
Even Zhao Jianyang is no exception, his storage ring basically contains only water, and the food is the same as dry food and cooking cakes that are easy to carry for a long time, which occupies a small volume and can withstand hunger after eating. However, those royal guards were bitter, and they frowned and forcibly swallowed small mouthfuls of water, each with an ugly face than the other.
However, Zhao Jianyang had long been accustomed to this, and after he instructed Han Tan a few words, he walked to Feng Ren's side and sat down, handed him a small oil paper package, and asked at the same time: "Tonight, it is destined to be unpeaceful." ”
Feng Ren took the oil paper package and sniffed it gently, the faint smell of meat stimulated him, and he couldn't help but move his index finger, but in the end he held back and handed it over to Tie Tong, before he replied: "There is an abyssal worm that has been following us under the sand, but because it is buried deep this time, we can't deal with it." Presumably, there must be a plan for the monsters to communicate with each other from a distance, and sneak attacks in the middle of the night are inevitable. ”
Zhao Jianyang nodded and said, "What are your plans?" I'm afraid that only me and Han Tan are the only ones who can confront that giant beast head-on, and if there are too many of them, there will be no way to take care of the overall situation." ”
"Wrong. You want to fight head-on, but those abyssal worms won't. I have a way, just ...... like this" Feng Ren smiled mysteriously, and at the same time handed his hand to Zhao Jianyang, who hesitantly took out a jade bottle from the storage ring and gently placed it on the other party's hand.
"Remember to leave some for me, don't finish eating, this pill is of average grade, but the price is also expensive......
"Try your best. ”
......
The night is deep, the stars and moon are dim, and if you look down at the sea of sand from the sky, you can only see a few scattered red fires.
Under the seemingly calm yellow sand, more than a dozen bloated bodies were rapidly excavating, and when there were still a few hundred meters left from the horizontal distance of the camp, they spread out impressively, forming a huge encirclement in a circular motion. After completely encircling the camp, all of the Abyssal Worms rose up almost at the same time and began to burrow out towards the ground.
After a few moments, the behemoths were less than ten meters away from the surface of the yellow sand. And the camp is a quiet and comfortable, except for a few people on patrol, all the rest sleep in clothes, although the blade has not left the hand, but it can have some effect when it is really asleep and awakened.
Feng Ren, who was sitting cross-legged on the sand dunes, finally opened his closed eyes at this time, and the true qi in his body had recovered a lot under the supplement of the pill, which was not as good as fifty percent of his peak, but it was barely enough.
"The fish has been hooked, so I've told you to prepare. I'd love to see who's behind these reptiles. A very low voice came into Zhao Jianyang's ears, and he immediately pulled out a sharp arrow and put it on the bowstring, and at the same time glanced at Han Tan, who also looked nervous.
Seeing that the two of them were starting to prepare, Feng Ren asked Brother Wudao, "You say, what is the chance of success of this idea of mine?"
Brother Wudao immediately replied: "If the previous assumptions are true, then there should be at least a seventy percent chance of winning." I've already had two or three guesses about the mysterious creatures that live in your left arm, but let's take a look at what they are......"
Feng Ren nodded subconsciously, and all his sensory abilities were infused into the sea of sand with the assistance of Brother Wudao, and he quickly counted a total of thirteen abyssal worms ambushed below, almost twice the number during the day. It can be said that the other party is very unkind.
After a while, Feng Ren's expression changed, and the slight tremor under his feet had already told him that those giant beasts had begun to act, and with a wave of his right hand, Zhao Jianyang saw this and shot an arrow into the sky, and the whistling wind was very fierce, waking up all the remaining members of the Royal Guard and the mercenary group who were just in a coma.
These people were awakened by a violent tremor in the sea of sand, like an earthquake.
"It's time!" Feng Ren played, and the true qi that had already been condensed in his raised left arm frantically gathered the extreme light attribute in his body, and a golden sword blade transformed from the edge of his palm, and the light that burst out instantly tore through the darkness of the night, like a dazzling scorching sun rising from the sea level.
Almost at the same time, those abyssal worms came out of the sea of sand one after another, but instead of the previous practice of digging a gap and letting people fall directly into their mouths, it seemed to prevent Feng Ren from entering their bellies and wreaking havoc and then killing them.
However, these giant beasts were able to burrow out of the sea of sand, only their ordinary bodies were exposed outside the yellow sand, and before they could jump into the air, they stopped as if time frozen, and then all their upright bodies fell heavily on the sea of sand, forming an encirclement to encircle the camp, but it seemed that it could not pose any threat to everyone.
Holding his left arm, Feng Ren, who was holding back the severe pain, roared in a trembling voice: "What are you waiting for?
Zhao Jianyang, who suddenly realized, jumped into the air, the rain of arrows fell obliquely, and the red arrows crossed the night sky like a meteor fire rain, with infinite killing intent in the brilliant brilliance.
The abyssal worms that were hit by the rain of arrows writhed their bodies and let out a low roar, but they did not dodge, but silently endured the pain.
At this moment, Han Tan had already led the rest of the people to start a round of charges against those giant beasts whose shells had shattered under the baptism of fire, and he took the lead in swinging his spear and bursting out a large purple thunderbolt, leaving countless charred black scars on the bloated body of the abyss worm, cutting them into several pieces.
And those ordinary blades were also frantically slashing at the body of the Abyss Worm, and for the enemy, who was generally large but had no ability to fight back or resist, the Royal Guard fought happily, venting all the grievances accumulated in their hands on the blades in their hands, as if it was their enemy in front of them.
As for the mercenary group, they were cut even harder, they experienced the death of a large number of partners, and of course they were even more angry.
Looking at the unilateral overwhelming advantage, Feng Ren finally exhaled, feeling that the sharp pain in his left arm had not been endured in vain.
"Watch out, the sand dunes on the right, something is approaching quickly!"
Suddenly, Brother Wudao's voice sounded.
When Feng Ren reacted and turned his head to look, he had already seen a huge black shadow crash out of the sand dune and run wildly towards him!
