Chapter Seventy-Two: A Bitter Battle
Zhang Tianqi frowned, looking worriedly at the demonic beasts that surrounded them. It's been more than an hour, and the demonic beasts are still gathering here, more and more, and the black pressure is overwhelming, and I can't see how many there are.
In the first half hour, the demonic beast just surrounded them and did not attack, and Zhang Tianqi and the others also took this opportunity to rest. Drink some water, eat dry food, help the wounded classmates bandage their wounds, and get ready for a battle that may occur at any time.
The attack of the monster was sudden, without a hint of warning. The first wave was hundreds of iron-backed golden-threaded ants, which pressed up in a neat line.
The level of the iron-backed golden-threaded ant is not high, it is only a first-level demonic beast, with a length of less than fifty centimeters and a height of about twenty centimeters. But there are enough of them, often tens of thousands of them gather together, and all the iron-backed golden-threaded ants only obey the queen's orders. The teeth of the iron-backed golden thread ant are its weapons, and its teeth can easily bite steel in two. Tens of thousands of iron-backed golden-threaded ants were dispatched together, and even a group of demonic beasts like the three-eyed demon wolf did not dare to be enemies with them.
However, the defense of the iron-backed golden-threaded ants can only be regarded as average, Zhang Tianqi took the twenty combat department and ten classmates from other departments in the first echelon to cut them all into two sections with a single charge, and each of them could kill at least ten iron-backed golden-threaded ants.
The first wave of attacks had just been defeated, and before Zhang Tianqi had time to catch his breath, the second wave of demonic beasts rushed up after him, and this time it was the second-level demonic beast emperor scorpion that came up.
The Emperor Scorpion is twice as large as the Ironback Golden-threaded Ant, with a pair of giant pincers in front and a venomous hook on its tail. More than 300 imperial scorpions were densely packed, without any formation to speak of, and crawled over in a scattered manner.
Zhang Tianqi was the first to rush forward, as the soul of more than 100 people, he had to rush to the front. He wants to build confidence in other people, so that they have the courage and confidence to fight.
The Emperor Scorpion relied on the pair of giant pincers and poison hooks, but their fragile defenses still greatly weakened their combat ability, and if it weren't for the venom on the tail hooks, they would not be as good as the iron-backed golden-threaded ants.
The attacks of the Emperor Scorpion were chaotic and did not cooperate with each other, and it was only a matter of time before they were eliminated. While Zhang Tianqi rushed forward, he loudly told the students to be careful and not to be stung by their tail hooks.
This is no joke, who knows how powerful this venom is? Maybe it won't be life-threatening if it is stung, maybe it will throw away your life. Zhang Tianqi didn't dare to use the lives of his classmates to test how strong the poisonous surname of the Emperor Scorpion Tail Hook was. If you accidentally get stung by them and have combat attrition due to poisoning, the loss will be great. Therefore, the battle with the Emperor Scorpion still took a lot of energy, just to avoid their tail hooks.
Immediately after that, several waves of demonic beasts rushed up. These are all some first- and second-level Warcraft, the level is not high, but the number is enough, there are hundreds of them in each wave. In a while, the front of the position was already full of corpses of demonic beasts, and the blood of beasts of various colors dyed the ground colorful.
The first echelon fought for half an hour, the personnel were rotated, and the classmates of the second echelon fought fiercely with the monster under the leadership of Zhang Tianqi. There are so many Warcraft that if you keep fighting them, few people can hold out for three hours. As a result, they can only rotate and always give some of them time to rest.
At this time, it showed how worthwhile the sacrifice of those reconnaissance students was, without the position they found, the defense would not be so easy. At least they don't have to be attacked on all sides now, and they can fight back from a high position.
The battle was fierce, and the monsters attacked almost non-stop. Zhang Tianqi is reluctant to use assault rifles and grenades now, although these weapons are easy to use, but there is too little ammunition, they are still reserved to deal with high-level monsters, and they are used to deal with these cannon fodder, which seems to be overkill.
Zhang Tianqi is always at the forefront of the battle, relying on his extraordinary skills and physical fitness to contain the impact of the monster and create opportunities for the classmates behind him.
The combat effectiveness of the second echelon is even worse, and it is composed of 16 students from the combat department, 10 from the command department, and 13 from the reconnaissance department. Although there are more people, the combat effectiveness is not much stronger than that of the first echelon. The third echelon was even worse, with only twelve combat students, and a total of twenty-seven in the other two departments.
These monsters are obviously controlled by some kind of force, although they are not as orderly as human warriors, and they will not kill each other. And after fighting for so long, I haven't seen a single demonic beast higher than the third level, and it seems that he intends to use these low-level demonic beasts to consume them and drag them down.
But Zhang Tianqi knew that the intention of the Demon Beast was like this, and there was no better way. There are too few people and too many Warcraft, so they can only rotate like this, trying to get everyone to have more time to rest.
Those slain monsters quickly became food for other monsters, and they were eaten up and eaten up. The monsters didn't waste anything, but the humans weren't comfortable. Warcraft doesn't pay attention to any etiquette when dining, and the scene is extremely bloody and creepy.
After the dead monster was disemboweled, its internal organs flowed to the ground, its body was torn open, and its head was pulled off. Those who devour it chew on bones or hard shells with a tooth-aching crunching sound.
Many people's faces were pale, their stomachs were churning, and some people couldn't help but vomit and poured out all the stock in their stomachs. When had they ever seen such a scene, and the fact that they could continue to fight showed that their nerves were strong enough.
Two hours later, the three echelons all rotated once, and thousands of demonic beasts were destroyed by them. However, the price they paid was not small, everyone was wounded, and more than a dozen people were damaged. Zhang Tianqi had to stop and rest for a while, and he fought continuously for an hour, even those who were beaten with iron couldn't stand it!
The demonic beasts that come up now are no longer cannon fodder of the first or second level, and have begun to appear as strong people of the fifth level, which is not easy to deal with.
"Woo ......" In the roar of a fifth-level blood tiger, twenty fourth-level red tigers, more than a hundred third-level fire jackals, and a group of second-level black spiders followed it and pounced on the human position.
"Prepare for battle!" Zhang Tianqi had just sat down for less than ten minutes, and had to stand up again, raising his heavy sword and rushing forward, "This blood tiger will be handed over to me." Wu Ming, you take four good kung fu to block the twenty red tigers, and the others attack the fire jackals and black spiders with all their might. ”
The fifth-level Blood Tiger is already close to the strength of the mid-level human warriors, and the fourth-level Red Tiger has also reached the intermediate level, although it is weaker than the human warriors of the same level holding weapons, but it will not be too different.
After issuing the order, Zhang Tianqi had already confronted the Blood Tiger. His skill has reached the level of an intermediate-level high-level peak warrior, and it is naturally not a problem to deal with a mid-level and mid-level Warcraft with strength. But the others don't have the strength of him, most of them are at the intermediate level, and only a few people can reach the strength of the intermediate level. Therefore, he must deal with the Blood Tiger as soon as possible, so that he can provide support to the others.
Zhang Tianqi ran the exercise to the limit, and the heavy sword in his hand quickly stabbed towards the forehead of the blood tiger. The tip of the sword slashed down the Blood Tiger's cheek. Wherever the blade went, the flesh and skin on its face rolled to both sides, dripping with blood, and Bai Sensen's skull was revealed.
The Blood Tiger let out a dull roar and retreated a few steps back, a pair of eyes flashing with a fierce gaze, staring at Zhang Tianqi resentfully. Its two front paws were digging the ground, its hind legs were half-crouching, and its tail like an iron whip swayed from side to side, plowing a deep furrow in the ground.
Zhang Tianqi made a successful move, took advantage of the situation to raise his heavy sword and chased after the blood tiger, striving to solve the battle within three moves.
The blood tiger leaped, its front paws poked out, and grabbed Zhang Tianqi in the chest. And opened its bloody jaw, biting down on the heavy sword that had just inflicted pain on it.
Zhang Tianqi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this, it seems that this blood tiger has not seen the power of the heavy sword, and he has suffered a loss and has not yet understood. But that's fine, let me teach you a good lesson!
Relying on the heavy chest armor protection on his chest, Zhang Tianqi grabbed the claws of the blood tiger, and the heavy sword in his right hand thrust hard, and turned around, stirring its throat to pieces. Pumping it back further, a stream of blood arrows flew out of the blood tiger's mouth.
Because his throat was poked, the blood tiger's mouth could no longer make a sound, and he could only stare at Zhang Tianqi with his eyes. The intense pain made it irritable, and its claws clawed hard at Zhang Tianqi's chest armor. It couldn't figure out what it was that hurt it, how it could be so powerful!
Zhang Tianqi can't control this now, the blood tiger has been hit hard, although he is still resisting, he doesn't have much strength. With every breath, red blood foam erupts from its mouth and nose, and seeing that the air intake is getting less and less, such a good opportunity must of course be seized.
The heavy sword in his hand slashed from top to bottom, slashed at the blood tiger's head, and split it in half with his head and body.
As soon as the fifth-level blood tiger died, the group of beasts couldn't help but scratch for a while, and they all became a little hesitant to attack.
On the human side, the morale was greatly boosted, and under the leadership of Zhang Tianqi, more than 100 people fought back with all their might, and the twenty red tigers were strangled in an instant. Seeing that the situation was not good, the fire jackal slipped away most of it. However, the black spiders were not so lucky, they were of a lower level, and their wisdom was not as good as that of the fire jackals, and they were still rushing up stupidly, naturally there was no one left, and they were killed.
Destroying this wave of demonic beasts, a deafening cheer erupted in the crowd. Being able to kill so many high-level magical beasts at one time made them feel a lot more confident, and they were also full of optimism about defending their positions.
Before they could rejoice for too long, the smile disappeared from their faces, replaced by fear and despair.
None of the demonic beasts that appeared this time were below level five, and the leading dark monster was even more powerful than level eight. The Blood Tiger, who was still showing off his might just now, can only follow behind. And fifty meters behind this group of demonic beasts, there was also a large group of low-level demonic beasts, and there was no end in sight to the black pressure.
More than four hundred demonic beasts above the fifth level pressed towards their position, and even Zhang Tianqi was already desperate, this was not something he could deal with. Why hasn't the eldest brother arrived yet? I'm afraid we should collect the corpse in a while!
No, we can't give up! Zhang Tianqi's heart is crossed, even if the demonic beast kills all of us in the end, we must persevere, and we can't just give up so easily. It was less than twenty minutes before the time agreed by the eldest brother, and as long as he could hold on to the last twenty minutes, he believed that there would be a miracle!
"Students, we have reached the moment of life and death!" Zhang Tianqi exclaimed, "Commander Liu's reinforcements are about to arrive, as long as we can hold on for another twenty minutes, he will definitely be able to rush to save us!"
Listening to Zhang Tianqi's words, everyone's faces became solemn. He's right, Warcraft doesn't have a good heart. Now you can't escape, instead of being eaten by them, it's better to fight with them, and maybe there is hope of survival. Everyone tightened their swords and stared intently at the approaching herd.
