Chapter 55: Encirclement and Annihilation

The hologram that came to mind faded, and Xu Yue said in a deep voice:

"Tell the left and right wings to speed up their march and prepare to close and strangle."

"Yes!"

Xuan Jun on his side responded quickly, his forehead tentacles trembled slightly, and under its majestic spiritual power, an invisible ripple instantly spread to the entire army, and the array of the entire ant tide also changed, and the ant colonies on both sides immediately accelerated their marching speed.

It closes inward like a pair of outstretched wings, ready to encompass the alien hordes that are fleeing in the middle.

After perceiving the changes in the Ant Tide Legion through vibration perception, Xu Yue nodded with satisfaction, although the ability of psychic communication is not lethal, it can play a very strong role in any aspect.

Especially when used in the command of large-scale corps, it simply turns command into art, and the heart of the troop is transferred at will, which is like an arm in the true sense.

patted the gluttonous head under him, and under the absolute manipulation of the Jiuli Battle Banner, the other party's sanity, which was originally occupied by killing, quickly returned, and the speed of galloping under his feet began to slow down slightly.

With the wings about to close, there is no need for the Chinese army to press on step by step, he needs to give these turtles in the urn some moderate living space.

Once targeted by the charging ant tide, these prey are doomed to only this end.

[The hunter has been detected to be in command of the Black Xuan Legion, and the legion's blessing is in effect.] 】

[Hunter Strength +5, Constitution +5, Max HP and Mana increased by 20%, you receive the special blessings of 'Black Tide Surging Tide' and 'War Contempt'.] 】

Kuroshio Surging Tide: When the Ant Tide charges, it will accumulate momentum like a tidal wave, and as the charging distance continues, it will gain a high movement speed and impact power.

Tip: Once the charge is interrupted, the Kinetic Blessing needs to be re-accumulated.

War Contempt: When the Ant Tide remains charged, the Judgment Modifier for various special effects such as Crushing, Flying, Stunking, Trampling, and Armor Piercing will be +5, and the individual facing the Ant Tide will be inflicted with the Crowd Panic effect, and the physical strength will be accelerated by 20%.

……………

His gaze swept over the blessing brought by the [Ant Clan General Token], Xu Yue pursed the corners of his lips that were a little moist, and a familiar sweetness spread to the tip of his tongue, the halberd in his hand splashed the blood mist, and the gluttony under his body continued to jump forward, and the roaring thunder behind him was like a mountain and a tsunami.

These blessings are not unique to him, but the increase that each ant clan individual can obtain, among which the attribute improvement is needless to say, and the latter two special effects are the main reason why the ant tide can be so strong.

The Kuroshio surge allows the power of the ant tide to accumulate continuously, and the war contempt makes the ant tide unmatched when charging, and it is these two blessings that make him strong enough to make a big splash in the herd, and those powerful alien creatures are like helpless chicks under the halberd.

Although these blessings are not exhaustive for flying targets like a swarm of bees, on land, as long as the ant tide charges, it is a black scourge that can engulf all living beings in its path.

…………

At the edge of the woods, as time passed, the herd of beasts on the surface did not become sparse and calm, but became more and more chaotic and crowded.

The alienated creatures that had been expelled from all corners of the forest were now mixed together, and the only remaining sanity was being eaten away by the terrifying oppression brought by the ant tide behind them, and beneath their feet was a layer of sticky and deep flesh mixture, which was the many beasts and insects that had unfortunately fallen on the way to escape.

In this chaotic situation, the death penalty has basically been pronounced if they fall, they will not have a chance to get up again, and being trampled into a ground by countless beast hooves and insect limbs will be their final destination, without exception.

As creatures were crushed and crushed, the ground almost turned into a swamp of flesh and blood, and every time it landed and lifted up, it brought out wisps of sticky flesh, and the rich smell of blood was gradually spreading upward, and these smells that used to cause wild beasts to chase with excitement were now useless.

The panic-filled eyes of the beast could no longer hold anything, and they were staring at the faint light that was shining in from beyond the forest ahead, and at this time, escape from the forest shrouded in despair was their only thought.

Compared to the chaotic scene on the surface that was comparable to a flesh hell, the situation in the upper layers of the forest was much better, with large and small black shadows constantly leaping between the branches.

The dome's sunlight shines through the flocks of birds that have taken off in mid-air as their homes have been destroyed, and through the dense canopy of green leaves, and finally shines into the dense forest.

Through the mottled and fragmented light spots, you can see that among the intertwined branches, giant squirrels, long snakes, big cats, golden apes and other creatures are frantically fleeing, and in addition to these native alien beasts, there are also more than a dozen contractors mixed in.

Just as he was about to continue jumping, he suddenly stopped, and the contractor with a broad-bladed sword crouched firmly on the thick branch of the giant tree, and he looked up, and there were two alien creatures colliding in mid-air just in front of him.

With a muffled thud, the two hapless beasts entangled with each other and fell from the sky until they fell into the rushing tide of beasts on the surface.

It was soon completely swallowed up by the crowded and churning tide, and only had time to leave a few rapid and terrible screams, and then there was no movement, and the carpet of flesh and blood was successfully painted with a fresh and gorgeous scarlet again.

Retracting his gaze, the crouching contractor quickly got up, and at the same time, the broad-bladed broadsword behind his back slashed through the air in the right hand, splitting a squirrel that was rushing in a panic in two.

As the blood sprayed, the two corpses fell to the ground, and after shaking off the blood stains on the blade, the big sword choked back into its sheath.

Ignoring the uninvited guest behind him who was killed in an instant, this thing is extremely common in the upper layer of the dense forest, looking at the faint light in the distance, the big sword contractor frowned slightly, for some reason, it was clear that the exit of the forest was imminent, but the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

And just as he hesitated, a somewhat excited shout came from behind.

"Boss, the speed of the ant tide army in the rear seems to have slowed down a bit!"

Hearing this, he looked back sharply, his eyes swept over the team member who had just spoken, and saw that the billowing smoke and dust rising behind him had indeed slowed down a little compared to the first time he saw him.

Seeing this, the contractor's face sank, and a somewhat desperate guess suddenly came to mind.

"That's not right! Don't save any more skill items, everyone should leave the forest as fast as possible! ”

As soon as the words fell, the white light around him surged, and he quickly turned around and rushed forward, and all the branches that borrowed strength along the way were crushed by his violent force.

Looking at the boss who suddenly accelerated in front of him, the male contractor with an emerald longbow behind him was stunned, although he didn't know what was going on, but his unconditional trust in his boss made him react quickly, and after taking out two brown acorns from his arms, he crushed one of them directly.

As the acorn shattered, several green vine phantoms quickly emerged and wrapped around his body, and he turned into a beam of green shadows and flew out instantly, while another acorn was also thrown backwards by him.

"Lao Zhong, sprint with all your might!"

Behind him, there was only a stout man left in a single coat to take the acorn that was thrown away, and while crushing the acorn, blood-colored steam boiled around him, and suddenly a red and green figure shot out, and even quickly went hand in hand with the green figure in front of him.

In less than a minute, all the members of the team had crossed the distance of thousands of meters and arrived at the outermost edge of the dense forest, where one by one the figures stopped, but after seeing the scene outside the dense forest, there was no joy of finding life on their faces, only the deepest despair.

As far as the eye could see, in addition to the verdant green of the vast plain, there was also a particularly familiar black tide, and the endless black tide completely blocked the way ahead, and approached at great speed from the front.

In the roaring footsteps, the previous group of beasts that had escaped from the dense forest collided head-on with the Black Tide, without any accidents, but the moment of contact, a flood of blood-colored rivers appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and in the next second, even the flooded blood was swallowed up by the Black Tide.

This comprehensive crushing picture smashed into the hearts of all the contractors, and also completely crushed their only remaining luck, now the situation is very clear, the pursuit is coming, and the road ahead is extinct, retreat is a dead word, and the same is true of advance.

"MD, it's too late, encirclement tactics, these damn ants want to annihilate us all."

"Now it's really a turtle in an urn, there are flocks of birds in the sky, there are ant tides on the ground, and the paradise really doesn't leave us with a way to live."

"Boss, let's fight, it's all a death anyway, at least give this group of damn bugs a deep lesson."

…………

Words of desperation or madness erupted from the mouths of the contractors on the outer edge of the woods, and finally their eyes converged on the strong man with the great sword in the crowd.

The strong man frowned, but his expression was still calm, or even if he was desperate in his heart, as the team leader, he had to force himself to calm down.

His gaze swept over the approaching Kuroshio ahead, and he turned his head to look at the long-range archers in the group with emerald longbows.

"There is no way to survive by forcibly charging into battle, and it is not yet the time for complete despair, Pastor, did you say that there was a contractor who led the team to open the way in front of the ant tide?"

On the right side of the line, the archer, named Pastoral Spirit, heard the inquiry, recalling what he had seen from the Dryad Seed's vision, and nodded affirmatively:

"That's right, I deliberately sprinkled a few Dryad Seeds on the way to escape to observe the advancing speed of the ant tide, and there is indeed a contractor cavalry holding the Fang Tian Painting Halberd who led the way in front of the ants, and the strength of the other party is very strong."

In the memory, under the horizontal swing of the cavalryman's halberd, the scene of blood mist and flesh splashing appeared in his mind, and the pastoral gaze was extremely solemn.

On the other side, after receiving an affirmative answer, the team leader drew the broad-bladed sword behind him and turned to look at the large cloud of rising smoke and dust behind him.

"If it is really this ant tide launched by the other party, it is not surprising that the strength is strong, we have no choice, capturing him alive, or killing him, is the only chance to survive now."

"Pastoral spirit, can you judge the exact location of the other party?"

"Most of the trees where the Dryad Seed is lodged have died, but judging from the surmised trajectory, it should be on the left, about three hundred meters."

"Good!"

The big sword in the strong man's hand of the team leader glowed with white light, he licked the corners of his chapped lips, and said in a deep voice:

"On the bright side, danger is also an opportunity, if we can control this ant tide through the other party, then in this survival trial, we can crush everything."

As the words fell, a pair of scarlet eyes lit up on the somewhat dim branches, like the last madness of a dying beast.

………………

"General, the wings of the legion have been encircled, and now we are starting to join the Chinese army to ensure that no prey can escape from the encirclement range."

The sound of the horrifying report sounded in his mind, Xu Yue bowed slightly, the long halberd in his hand swept, and the hurricane swept away, and all obstacles within a few meters in front of him were swept away, whether it was a huge alienated creature or a thick tree trunk hugged by several people, as long as it was within the influence of the halberd, they were all shattered into slag.

With the accumulation of charging kinetic energy, his current strength attribute has reached the extreme value of 50 points in the first order, to a point where there is no way to rise, and the surging wild force in his body even made his already tall and majestic body rise again, faintly reaching an exaggerated volume of nearly two meters or so.

"Speed up the whole army, strangle it!"

"Yes!"

The scattered sawdust and flesh foam were torn apart by the hurricane, and a man and a beast rushed out first, followed by a frenzy of black ants.

The speed of the charge was rapidly increasing, and after a few breaths, the faint light of the sun shining through the trunks of the trees at the edge of the dense forest could be clearly seen in front of them.

"Whew!"

Suddenly, a slight arrow suddenly sounded in the roaring footsteps, and a fine stinging pain appeared in the center of his eyebrows, and Xu Yue, who was leading the army, looked up.

In mid-air, an emerald green light arrow was galloping down from the top of the dense forest, the tip of the arrow pointed directly at the center of his eyebrows, but just as the arrow was approaching, a Fang Tian painting halberd had already stabbed out from below, and it came later.

The arrow and the halberd tip collided accurately in mid-air, without the slightest stalemate, and the arrow was pierced straight into by the halberd, and the halberd tip shattered all the way from the arrow to the tail of the arrow, and the entire light arrow turned into a blooming emerald green point of light in the blink of an eye.

And in the shattering points of light, two silent black armor-piercing bullet holes opened up the air flow, and quietly descended at a speed far beyond that of arrows, one aimed at Xu Yue's neck, and the other was towards the center of the gluttonous eyebrows under him, and by the time he noticed it, they were all within reach.

"When!!"

Like a bronze bell, the sound of a thick metal crash resounded through the forest, and the armor-piercing bullet failed to break the target's neck as expected, and before it was about to hit, a strong forearm suddenly appeared from the side, blocking the fatal blow.

The conical metal warhead collided with the same metalized silver skin, large golden sparks bloomed, mixed with fine fragments of the warhead, and the muscular membrane on the forearm rolled like water waves, and a small crater appeared at the place of impact, but it was fleeting.

The bullet fired at Xu Yue was obviously not as hard as his metalization, and there was nothing to achieve except for the impact that came back to make his body stiffen slightly.

As for the one that shot at the glutton, the beast had only a big mouth, and the bullet disappeared like a mud cow into the sea.

He shook his arm that was a little numb, and when his body was slightly stiff, the top of his head changed again, and he saw a tall man in a single coat jumping down from directly above with a hard tree trunk several meters wide in his arms.

"Die!"

In the roar, the lord who had discarded the shield and was heavily armored was covered in blood, and smashed the giant pillar in his arms in a posture of pounding medicine.

Xu Yue's face remained unchanged, but he casually flicked the long halberd in his hand upward, and the translucent halberd shadow immediately flew out from the end of the halberd, and a dull roar came from the sky above, and the wooden trunk shattered straight in the explosion of the halberd shadow, and the main tan was also thrown away by the strong impact of the explosion, and the blood light around his body was shaky.

Three waves of ambushes were eliminated in succession, and a fourth wave soon followed.

A black shadow broke out from the ground in front of the left, and the short blade in his hand was green, stabbing directly at Xu Yue's lower body, and directly in front of him was a strong man who jumped out of the sky, and the broad-bladed sword in his hand slashed down heavily, which was amazingly intimidating.

Without looking at the slender assassin rushing to his side, Xu Yue stared at the big sword that fell in front of him, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, in these waves of raids, this strong man with a sword brought a bit of threat to himself.

The right hand holding the halberd tail tightened, and the golden-red scorching fire pattern instantly spread from the palm of the hand to the entire halberd body, and in the next moment, the halberd swung out a wave of fire and collided with the broad-bladed greatsword in the air.

"Boom!!"

A huge roar was accompanied by a blazing scatter of sparks, and in the eyes of the attacker, an unrivaled force rushed from the greatsword, and the arms creaked overwhelmingly, the blood vessels burst under the weight and burst blood, and the bones clicked like fried beans.

And the big sword in his hand quickly spread out a fine cobweb-like golden red crack from the place of collision, and then disintegrated into countless fragments on the spot and scattered, and the strong man in the rear was also directly pumped away by the halberd end that drove straight in.

Compared to the Lord Tan who was blown away by the halberd shadow not long ago, his fate was much more miserable, his right arm was directly smashed, and his body was full of fragments of the great sword that disintegrated at close range, and before he landed, his blood volume had slipped to a near-death state.

The extreme strength increased to 50 points + the violent special effect of Fang Tian's halberd + the metal special attack that pierces through the mountains + the blessing of the black tide surge, the effect of this blow under this kind of blessing is so brutal, this contractor leader was not directly shattered into a cloud of blood mist, it was already because of his strength.

After finishing the opponent in front of him, Xu Yue withdrew his halberd and looked sideways, only to see that the assassin who had just jumped up from the ground was now only a fragment of his mutilated lower body lying on the ground, and as for the rest of the parts, they were all in the abyssal giant mouth of the mount.

The leader-level creature possessed by the gluttonous soul, its strength is not weaker than Xu Yue itself, and it wants to sneak attack from the ground? It can only be said that one will die one by one, and it will die unusually simply.
