Volume 1: The Jade Festival Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Feast of the Morning and Night Insects
"Oh-woo!" An earth-shattering tiger roar penetrated through the branches and dense leaves in the barren forests of Maofeng Mountain, and echoed endlessly in the winding ravines of the valley.
"It's Blackie! Father! It's Xiao Hei who is here, and Xiao Hei is here to save us again! The eyepiece of the warrior mecha on the ground flickered dimly, and above the shattered light curtain, the key points jumped frequently. That was a very happy performance of Keyshan, the return of his friend again, and it was Yu Liang's father who stood up at the most critical moment, which made him extremely excited.
Shi Liang, who had lost his mind for a moment, had been pulled back to his eyes by Xiao Shan's shout, struggling to support his body. After brushing shoulders with death, the man's eyes were a little more calm and calm, as if something had made him complete the transformation all of a sudden, at least without the many indifferent insistences he had before.
"All the survivors, pull up the brothers next to you and run! Come on! The difficult and dry roar, along the turbulent waves of the valley, was transmitted to the ears of every conscious warrior, and the sound of almost exhaustion had used up all the strength of the man, although it was still not particularly bright, but it was particularly clear against the backdrop of the ruins of this valley.
The bleak soldiers scattered everywhere were mostly very surprised after hearing the order of the platoon leader, and some of the eager ones were already struggling to get up, and shouted with some unwilling emotions: "Boss! "They knew that Shi Liang was giving a rout order at the moment, which meant that they were very likely to be captured by the knife catcher afterwards.
Lu Jun, who was half unconscious, also opened his eyes with great difficulty, he blocked the key blow for Shi Liang in the previous battle, and he was already extremely seriously injured, but at this moment, he still exclaimed in disbelief: "Leader!" β
The man was extremely calm and did not respond to the cries of the brothers, except for some trembling as he picked up the weapons scattered on the ground. The long sword was embedded in the back box, and the giant axe was against the left shoulder, facing the golden light that was still fighting with the giant tiger, and muttered, "I will fight it until the last moment!" β
This is an order to die, the first general will die, and the remnants of the army remain. Only this order, regardless of the rout.
The boss is already determined to die, how can he be reluctant.
When even a warrior who was not afraid of death swallowed his dry throat and said: "I am willing to die and live with the leader!" β
Shi Liang didn't look back, but said coldly to the soldier: "Get out!" β
'If you don't run, how can Lao Tzu run.' This sentence, Shi Liang held in his heart, and it was impossible to say it. The man swept his cold eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Those who violate my orders, behead!" β
"Oldβ" The unwilling man's pale mouth opened and closed, and he just spoke. Before the words could be fully spoken, a long axe spun around and slashed, sticking to the man's body and smashing into the rock wall behind it.
No one dares to say anything more.
The goal has been achieved, Shi Liang drove the battle armor, some of them were not able to adapt to the stumbling of the mecha after the battle damage, step by step slowly moved past the soldier who was still standing in place, gently patted the man's mechanical arm, and without saying a word, continued to move to the rock wall.
Shi Liang pulled out the axe with difficulty, and once again carried it on his shoulder, and then whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "Xiaoshan, can you still fight?" β
Keyshan rolled over, and in the light curtain that already had a crack, he transformed into a little tired stuffed beast, and replied timidly, "It's okay, Dad, it's just-"
"It's okay." Shi Liang's voice was firm and steady, interrupting Xiao Shan's hesitation, and said, "Just hold on for a while, and when these brothers get out of the valley, we will escape, even if we are not this soldier, we can't die here in vain." β
Xiao Shan shook it, rolled into a small dot again, and whispered, "Okay, Dad." I'll be with you. The words fell, the leg drive was restarted, and the flame mecha was in the air again.
At that time, the slanting sun was already slightly crimson, and there was no scorching heat in the afternoon volley, which was somewhat more gratifying. The gentle mountain breeze in the valley also began to be a little wet and cold at this moment, and the shadows that jumped on the mottled water surface were stirred.
At this time, the golden armor man still emitted a colorful and scorching light, and he was entangled with the black markinged beast that sprang out from the mountains. The Black Tiger's previous sneak attack was very successful, killing one of the clones of the Morning and Night Worm, so that there are only six Strange Armor Light Belts left now.
Despite this, the combat power of the remnant armor is still very fierce, and the remnants of the five mecha that are still intact are now scattered and separated, and they are haunting the black tiger at the moment, and from time to time they can always launch treacherous attacks from some extremely tricky angles.
However, after all, the huge black-veined tiger is an experienced old beast with a lot of battles, and when he launched the key battle with Nie Gai before, he was known for his speed, because he was not like Shi Liang and other soldiers, and was trapped by the encirclement and suppression entanglement of this golden light remnant armor that seemed to be a big battle but actually had many loopholes, and he was always able to easily escape the charged attack of the golden armor with his extreme speed.
The power of the black tiger is too great, and the frequent reflexive counterattacks can always scatter the metal remnants of armor at once, and the bursting attacks are even more capable of shedding the remnants of the armor that have been tempered by the insects for thousands of years, or flattening or biting them away.
It didn't take long for the light and shadow monster insect hiding in the stump to let out a strange long roar. In an instant, a light that seemed to be better than day poured out from within the golden armor, instantly illuminating the phantom shadow under the dusk of the valley.
Between the flares and flashes, the already very broken mecha bodies began to scatter after several battles. The seven glowing fireflies that looked like a coil finally shed the remnants of the armor that were originally used to hide their bodies, and surrounded one that suddenly appeared from the void, and then swelled all at once, and finally surrounded the golden beetles that were like boulders, like stars circling the sun, repeating the cycle.
"Chirp! Haw! "The strange insects in the valley chirped one after another.
"Oh-woo!" The black tiger exploded its fur, looked up to the sky and roared, as if it was not to be outdone.
"Oooh!" In the flame mecha that had just cut into the battle, Keypoint Xiaoshan also looked like a stuffed beast child again at this moment, and instinctively screamed a roar that only Shi Liang could hear.
Between the insect and the key beast, it seems that there is a natural incompatibility.
The sunset over the valley became more and more bright red, as big as a cake dough, and the red halo had already touched the ridge of the ridge of the spear peak. Colorful glow covered the sparse sky and dotted a whole field of brilliant pink delicacy. Soft and warm light and shadow shine on the earth to hide the gloom of dusk.
The canyon is the only one in the whole world that is still as bright as day, but this illusory pale only lasts for a short period of nine moments. Then, the heavens and the earth darkened, the mountains and forests shook, and a terrible firefly the size of a mountain rose from the ground, with six slender and tall limbs, supporting itself in various parts of the valley, and the two front chelas were like hammers, and each time they landed, they were enough to smash a deep pit very easily.
Although the black tiger was strong, it was no more than one-twelfth of the giant insect at this time, and it could only run around to avoid the giant insect's non-stop crushing. As for Shi Liang on the other side, he resisted the heavy sword in his left hand and held a battle axe in his right hand, but at this moment, he did not dare to have the slightest delusion of victory, but could only help some of his brothers very passively, in exchange for a little time to escape from the valley as much as possible.
Until all the wounded soldiers fled, one man and one tiger had the opportunity to disappear between the mountains and forests and ancient trees, and cooperate with each other. The Black Tiger is extremely fast, and can occasionally attack while evading pursuit; Shi Liang's armor was broken, but he was still able to help the black tiger defend against one or two at a critical moment, barely interfering with the sight of some giant insects.
However, at this time, the sun had already set, and the shadow of death had begun to inspire the giant worm to finally go crazy.
The old man's murmur was like a prophecy, which always lingered in this valley and did not dissipate. "Chaowen said, can Xi die?" Who can wait to die, even if it's just a bug.
"Father's Words" The bug has not forgotten, for which it has devoured two cysts that have escaped the death of the night. It's a pity that even so, it still feels like something is missing.
The sun was half setting, and the original vitality of the morning and evening insects finally began to pass uncontrollably and rapidly. If it continues like this, it will inevitably be greeted with death.
"Hiss-" The insect chirped, as if to vent its dissatisfaction with the constant harassment of the person in front of it, but in fact, it was also to express the anger that life was about to end. The next moment, it finally burst out with all its power, and in an instant, it turned into countless clones, and thousands of light insects the size of a stone mill instantly crowded the valley, like locusts, and suddenly swarmed towards the tiger beasts and mecha that were still fleeing, attacking one after another, unable to hide, unable to escape, even if the black tiger was fast, it was still contaminated with fur by four or five light insects.
The mouthparts of the light insect are like pincers, and they tear out a piece of flesh from the black tiger in just one bite.
It was a stream of purple plasma filled with key energy, and the strange energy was quickly transmitted back to the worm's body from the doppelganger in an instant.
That's right, it's this power that the missing part of the worm's soul is obviously filled.
Inadequate! Inadequate! Inadequate!
A little more! A little more! A little more!
The energy in front of it is all the hope that it will complete its transformation, the last hope.
The survival instinct of the Morning Worm began to cause it to erupt into the most terrible madness, and it was desperate to devour the flesh and bone that it had discovered that contained the power of the Key.
It wants to devour this black tiger, it wants to devour this terrible mountain forest, it wants to devour everything, nothing left, to fill the emptiness and despair in the depths of that soul.
"Chirp-chirp-chirp!" The shrill and piercing chirp of the strange insect pierced through the darkness of dusk.
The insects that filled the valley began to gnaw and devour everything in front of them, and then, without stopping, splitting and splitting, becoming more and more, becoming smaller and smaller, dense, covering the heavens and the earth, the second, third, fourth, fifthγγγγγ Until the entire San'in is lit up.
Then, all of them flew and bit in the direction of the black-veined tiger, so crazy that they didn't care about the death of their own individual.
The fireflies all over the mountains turned into a sea of light, surging and surging, rolling up a huge wave that devoured everything, surging towards the tigers and people in the middle of the mountain, and in just an instant, the black tiger and Shi Liang were all swallowed into the center of the whirlpool of the sea of insects.
Under the dare to die, there were finally some insects that penetrated and squeezed into the energy core of Shi Liang's mecha. As soon as the mecha dimmed, a clone of a certain bug soon gnawed Shi Liang's flesh and blood.
In an instant, the insect waves of the fireflies became even more frenzied.
This is a feast for the morning and evening insects.
