Chapter Twenty-Seven: Strange and Suspicious

The forward troops were also attacked by the demon beasts, a huge demon spider that hid its body landed out of thin air, no one knows how it came to the top of the team, its huge tail spit out a large strand of silk thread, and several soldiers behind it were wrapped in, and then the silk thread recovery directly pulled those soldiers to the front, the demon spider stretched out its thick tentacles and grabbed the soldiers tightly, and slashed at the tentacles of the demon spider with the sword in his hand, but the sharp sword slashed to the tentacles and made a sound of gold and iron, The carapace on the demon spider's body was as hard as steel!

The soldiers struggled as hard as they could, but the more the cobwebs struggled, the tighter they were wrapped, as the demon spiders stretched out their sharp mouthparts and pierced their bodies, under the action of neurotoxins and tissue lysotoxins, these soldiers quickly stopped struggling, under the action of the toxins, they were completely paralyzed, and the internal bones of the body and internal organs were dissolved into a puddle of liquid, like a bottle of carbonated drink waiting to be opened, the demon spider greedily sucked the soldiers clean, Stretching out its thick tentacles, it casually threw the soldier's shriveled skin out, and it licked its sharp mouthparts as if it was still a little unsatisfied.

Seeing this scene happening, General Yang Shen was stunned, these are the most capable soldiers under him, and it has actually become a delicious meal in the stomach of the demon beast, and the other soldiers gathered to besiege the demon spider, but General Yang Shen has realized the gap, with the carapace of the demon spider, which is as solid as steel, it is useless for other soldiers to rush up, and it will only add a lot of casualties.

"Everyone, back up, support the guards, and I'll deal with it alone!"

General Yang Shen drank back from the people who wanted to help, and then clenched the horse slashing knife in his hand, and rushed towards the demon spider, the huge body of the demon spider also moved under the swing of the eight steps, it stretched out the front two thick steps, like two sickles towards Yang Shen General, wanting to cut off this small human being.

Yang Shen dodged to avoid the swing of the foot, and then stepped on the thick foot, jumped high with the help of the force, and slashed at the head of the demon spider with the saber in his hand!

The demon spider stretched out two stout steps to block the blade, but the special feature of the horse chopping knife is that the blade is heavy, and under the full swing of General Yang, it is not so much like a war knife, but more like a war hammer, the two steps of the demon spider were directly smashed by a powerful force, it felt the pain, let out a tragic roar, and dragged the two broken steps towards General Yang Shen and pounced.

General Yang lowered his body, trying to dodge the attack, but he suddenly found that at some point, a huge spider web had opened under his feet, and the extremely sticky spider web stuck to the military boots on his feet, trapping him in place and unable to move, and at this time, the sharp mouthparts of the demon spider were already close in front of him.

"Fall! Day! Chop! ”

General Yang's face showed a determined expression, his body condensed a red glow like blood, and the horse chopping knife in his hand was also stained with a red glow, he raised his knife over the top and slashed out a dazzling blood-colored knife light towards the pounced demon spider.

The momentum of the demon spider's attack came to an abrupt halt, and after receiving this blow, the three steps on its right half that were still intact were directly cut off, and the remaining three steps could not even maintain balance, let alone support its huge body, it fell to the ground dying, and white liquid flowed from its hideous mouth, which was the blood of the demon spider.

Yang Shenjun, who wielded a huge sword light, was also a little tired, as a monk with the goal of forging the body, his mana was highly integrated with the body, and if he used too much at once, he would feel a burst of weakness, which was different from those monks who drove the magic weapon and used the magic power, the goal of the forging monk was to make himself a humanoid magic weapon, so the absorbed heaven and earth aura would be integrated into the bones and flesh and blood, and the cultivation exercises were mostly violent and arbitrary.

Yang Shen General walked towards the demon spider in front of him with a horse chopping knife, it lowered its head, its huge body was motionless, as if it had died, but when Yang Shen General was about to approach it, it suddenly raised its head and sprayed a stream of emerald green venom from its sharp mouthparts, but Yang Shen General had already seen the trick of this beast, he raised his horse chopping knife, lightly blocked the venom that attacked, and then leaned over to get close to the demon spider, and the horse chopping knife stabbed its head, and the entire sword body was submerged in the skull of the demon spider, Yang Shen clenched the handle of the knife with both hands and used more force, directly cutting off the huge head of the demon spider.

General Yang Shen stuck his horse chopping knife on the ground and let out a sigh, he called a soldier passing by, "All parts gather personnel, clear out the demon beasts that have not yet died, extinguish the flames as soon as possible, count the casualties and report to me." ”

"Yes!" The soldier saluted him and hurried to the rest of the camp.

About the dawn of the day, the rain of the day stopped, the fire burning in the camp was basically extinguished, only the scattered ashes were not completely extinguished, Yang Shen General sat on the ground, beside him stood his heavy chopping knife, his armor was covered with smoke and dust, the whole person looked discouraged, looking very embarrassed, in front of him, the commander and the commander of the forward and the guard were all present, reporting the casualties of his men.

"The guards lost thirteen people, two were missing, five were slightly injured and four were seriously injured."

"The strikers lost eleven people, two were missing, five were slightly injured and four were seriously wounded."

"The doctor's tent was also attacked, and fewer than 10 people survived."

"A wagon was destroyed, about a quarter of the bread was burned, about a fifth of the cured meat was lost, and the damaged tents are still counted."

Listening to the reports of the Wu Commander and the chiefs, General Yang's face gradually became solemn, although the sentinels issued an early warning in time, and the guards also made certain preparations, but the number of attacking demon beasts was too large, which still led to a lot of sacrifices, and the injured people were also difficult to deal with, the previous attack of the spiced bird had caused many people to be injured, and now more injured people have been added, the number of doctors is not enough to take care of so many people, and now more than half of the doctors have been lost, if they are not dealt with in time, In a complex environment like Netherland, minor injuries can eventually turn into serious injuries, and serious injuries can lead to death, not to mention the fact that carrying so many wounded people can slow down the entire team.

The loss of personnel is still within the acceptable range, after all, the vast majority of people still maintain their combat effectiveness, and they are not far from their destination, now the most troublesome thing is the loss of food, tent burning, carriage damage There are still solutions, but the problem of food loss is difficult to solve, the next task is smooth and good, but if the next task is hindered and cannot be completed on time, they will inevitably face the problem of food shortage on the way back, On this journey, there is no fortress like Pure Spirit City for them to supply, and relying on hunting is even more nonsense, Yan Zheng can't eat enough to hunt alone, if these nearly two hundred people rely on hunting for a living, I'm afraid that the entire secluded realm will have no grass.

"Don't mention the damage to the food to the soldiers for the time being, otherwise it will shake the morale of the army, I will truthfully report the situation to the commander, and he will decide." General Yang said, "Commander Wu has lost more than half of his personnel, merge with other teams to ensure a collective combat effectiveness, and try to bring weapons and equipment, and the next battle will definitely need to be treated, and the lightly injured personnel will be treated as much as possible, and strive to make them recover in a short time, and the seriously injured personnel will mainly maintain their lives, which is also a matter of no way, I hope you can understand, we are about to reach the destination, we can go back if we insist on it, and we can go back after completing the task." ”

"I have a suggestion to ration food from now on, so that we can save enough food to go back to eat." A chief said.

General Yang shook his head and said: "I also thought of the suggestions you made, but before leaving, they all told me that those monks carried some food for emergency relief in the magic weapons on their bodies, but I don't know how much they carried, so I want to ask Du Tong's opinion and ask him to decide, the food is still distributed according to normal standards, and the brothers have indeed suffered a lot this time, and they can't be chilled anymore." ”

"Thank you for your understanding!" The Wu Commander and the Shi Commanders saluted together with General Yang, but he only felt tired, and waved his hand to signal everyone to carry out the order first.

Seeing that everyone dispersed, General Yang Shen leaned next to the horse chopping knife and sighed, he had a faint premonition that this mission would not end so easily.

A flash of light flashed in the sky, and Shen Dutong flew to his side, followed by a group of monks, Yang Shenjun hurriedly got up, but Shen Dutong leaned over and held him down, and sat next to him.

The right half of Shen Dutong's clothes were stained red by heavy blood, and a scrape on his cheek was still oozing blood, it looked like he had experienced a tragic battle, he called back several flying blades that were still suspended in the air with his sword and fingers, and incorporated them into the sea of qi, and the other monks also looked quite embarrassed, most of them were painted on their bodies, and some familiar figures did not appear among these people. Not only did his resentment disappear, but there was also a wave of doubts in his heart, what had happened to them, and what would make this group of monks so embarrassed.

Shen Dutong saw the doubts in General Yang's heart, and said: "I checked it just now, you did a good job, the loss of the camp has been reduced to a minimum, this attack is strange, we encountered a demon beast close to the Qingxu realm on the periphery, and this demon beast was obviously not attracted by the battle here." ”

"So why is that? The subordinates couldn't figure it out. After listening to Shen Dutong's words, General Yang frowned unconsciously.

Shen Dutong cursed: "Damn, there must be ghosts in our team!" ”
