Chapter 306: Bone Beetle

"That's not right!" Rong Ci on the magic tower and Liu Qingshan on the north tower shouted at the same time.

"Every year I have people go up to strengthen the soil, and no amount of rain can wash it down. Rong Ci is aware of the dangers of flash floods, and has always prevented similar situations from occurring in the high mountains on the east and west sides.

"Since I was stationed in Tianmen Town, the east and west sections of the city wall have never fallen mud and sand, how can there be such a coincidence that the beast tide comes, and the heavy rain can wash down the mud and sand. Liu Qingshan knows the details of his defense area well.

"Auxiliaries, hurry up and call the auxiliaries," Ding Kui snatched one of the defenders' shields, threw an acceleration spell at himself, and shouted as he shoveled away the mud and sand with the shield, "Quick, dig them out." ”

Lei Feixiang, who had been by Ding Kui's side, glanced at his round shield and threw it aside, learning from Ding Kui also grabbed a square card, and desperately shoveled the mud and sand that buried his comrades down the city wall.

The battlefield discipline of the regular army of Shaodian Country was extremely strict, and those who retreated before fighting without receiving an order would be dealt with by military law, so when the torrent rushed down, the more than 20 defenders close to the mountain wall were stunned and did not take half a step back.

The other defenders on the walls had to hold their posts, and as for the buried companions, they could only wait for the auxiliaries to come to their aid, and they could not leave the line until then.

The guards are not so disciplined, they can leave their defense zone in a state of imminent battle, go to the rescue of trapped soldiers, and in the end they will not be punished by military law. In particular, the magicians and their companions who had been at the bottom of the mountain wall worked as hard as Ding Kui to shovel the mud and sand, and the buried soldiers had stood side by side with them.

The leader of the seventh squadron anxiously watched Ding Kui and them shoveling mud, constantly looking at the surging flood in front of him, and hesitated whether to order his team members to participate in the rescue.

At this time, I saw Ding Kui stop his hand and push away Lei Feixiang, who was desperately shoveling mud, no one thought that he could have such strength and be able to push away such a fat person.

"Be careful, don't shovel people. Ding Kui squatted down, stretched out his ten fingers and dug up the mud and sand in front of him with his hands, "There is, there is." He gouged out a hand.

The man who saw it quickly stepped forward to help dig the mud with his bare hands, and dragged a soldier out of the mud with all his hands.

The newly rescued soldier's face was covered in mud and sand, his eyes and mouth were tightly closed, but there was no movement between his chest and abdomen, and he seemed to be out of breath.

Before the military doctor could catch up, Ding Kui couldn't care so much, first rinsed the face of the rescued soldier with water, cleaned his mouth and nose with his fingers, and then performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on him.

The people around had never seen this kind of rescue, but they all knew that Ding Kui was saving people, and they watched the situation here with eager eyes.

After a few minutes, the dug up soldier let out a violent cough and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the people watching around him couldn't help but let out a burst of cheers.

"Brothers, we all went to save our comrades-in-arms, and I will bear all the consequences. Zhang of the 7th Squadron couldn't help it, shouted, rushed to the side of the mountain wall with his men, and began to dig with his bare hands.

"For the time being, auxiliaries are not allowed to go to the city, let the second echelon of the eastern and western sectors assemble and stand by, and the magicians of the main defense line in the north are ready to support the eastern and western sides at any time. Liu Qingshan looked at the ancient boat beside him, and added an explanation, "There is a great danger for the auxiliary soldiers to go to the city now. ”

In the Xiying area of Tianmen Town, Huang Wan said to the magician who led the team: "Teacher, why did we come here so early? Didn't you say that at least we don't need to go until the afternoon?"

The young magicians from the capital were replaced in the middle of the night last night, and they had just woken up at this time, and their leading magician, who was also Huang Wan's master, Fang Chen, gathered a group of young magicians who had just gotten up, and rushed to the Xiying area to standby.

Fang Zhen said: "Now that it is raining heavily, the strength of fire and qi magicians has been greatly reduced, I am afraid that something will happen, so I will bring you over in advance, and I can support you in time when something happens." ”

Quan Ling, the foreign affairs manager of the Magician Association, and Fang Zhen are senior brothers and sisters, and the senior brother Fang Zhen is weaker, and he is the later tower magician, but he is also an earth magician, and he is not greatly affected in Tianmen Town in the rainstorm.

The rescue operation of the western section of the city wall continued, and with the help of a squadron of archers, the town guard team dug up three more soldiers. At this time, two military doctors ran up, allowing Ding Kui to save the effort of first aid and free up his hands to perform acceleration on the dredger.

"There's a situation! The town guards return to their defense area, don't let the things in the water rush up. Gu Zhuangdian sensed that there were energy fluctuations in the water.

He frowned tightly from the beginning of the rainstorm, and there was a flame shield on his body, which would evaporate when the rain approached him, in addition to paying attention to Ding Kui and them saving people, he also kept an eye on the flood under the city.

The magicians of the town guard team quickly retreated to their defensive place, and Ding Kui shouted as he ran: "Where are the auxiliaries? Why haven't the auxiliaries come up yet?"

"Okay, you don't care so much, guard your position, let the beast tide break through the defense line and more people will die. "Gu Zhuangdian cares more about the people in his Wizards' Guild.

All the soldiers on the city wall looked at Ding Kui differently, and the usually high-ranking magician master dug mud with his bare hands to rescue their comrades, but he was the last to save people, and there were big men who couldn't stand it.

The depth of the water under the city wall is estimated to be 10 meters, and there are continuous torrents in the Hengduan Mountains rushing towards the pass of Tianmen Town, and under this situation, the water depth can reach 20 meters in less than half an hour.

"'Bone beetles'! Everyone, release your shields and watch out for their water arrows. Gu Zhuangdian recognized a dark shadow under the water and reminded the town guards loudly.

"Bone beetles"? What kind of thing is that? How much damage can little bugs do to the walls.

Ding Kui stretched his neck to look down at the city, and at the same time leaned out his spiritual power.

There were indeed black spots moving in the turbid flood, and they were gathering more and more, probably sensing that Ding Kui was observing them, and hundreds of "bone beetles" came out of the water together.

Now Ding Kui finally saw the appearance of the "bone beetles", although they are insects, they are not small, about a meter tall, the body is conical, like a large ice cream cone, the huge head is like an enlarged version of the cricket, that is, the top of the head is missing two long whiskers, and there are five tentacles under the body, each of which is the thickness of an adult's arm.

These "bone beetles" were not very friendly to Ding Kui, and after surfacing, they opened their mouths to shoot water arrows, and hundreds of water arrows covered the western section of the city wall. Ding Kui was taken care of, and more than 20 water arrows were fired at him and Lei Feixiang.

"What's going on? Why didn't there move on the front? There was a fight on both sides. After Liu Qingshan received the report, the whole person almost jumped.

"This year's beast tide is a bit strange, this third wave even has the 'bone beetle' come out, and it also specializes in the east and west sides, is there a high-level demon beast commander?" Gu Zhou was also very confused, "Do you want to transfer the magicians of the front line of defense to support?"

"Well, wait a minute, if there really is a high-level demonic beast command, what if they suddenly storm the front if the defense force on the front is transferred? Liu Qingshan seeks stability.

Ding Kui was holding on, except for his wind blade and thunder flying sword and shield, ten of the more than twenty water arrows hit the atmospheric shield on his body, fortunately, his magic purity was high, and the ten water arrows did not break his magic shield.

However, the infantry on the city wall was not so optimistic, and those under the third-level combat power were all shot away by water arrows and shields, and those who could still stand by the city wall were all strong veterans.

"Bone Beetle" is a three-level water and land two-series magical beast, in the torrential rain, its water arrow power has been strengthened, even if the shield blocks the water arrow, but the impact can not be dissolved, and those who are not strong enough will be knocked away.

Archers began to suffer casualties, and both they and the "bone beetles" were within range of each other's attacks. The "bone beetle" has scale armor similar to bone chips, and its physical and magical defense is very high, and it is difficult to kill them without hitting the vital point with a demon-breaking arrow, while the archer only has leather armor, and if he is shot by a water arrow, he will be injured if he does not die.

Several archers were shot in the head by water arrows and died instantly, and more than a dozen archers fell to the ground with serious internal injuries.

The Captain of the Seventh Squadron kept running and jumping, not daring to stop in one place, and as soon as he stopped, several water arrows would shoot at him, leaving him free to kill the "bone beetle" or rescue others.

The most depressed person on this battlefield is none other than Feigu Zhuangdian, and this fire mage can not use too much magic in the rainstorm. It's not impossible to forcibly cast the "Wall of Fire" on the water, but it consumes too much and lasts more than half the time. The fireballs he shot were often intercepted by more than a dozen water arrows, and he couldn't kill a few "bone beetles" for a while.

The number of "bone beetles" is increasing, and these big insects that live in underground rivers, mountain streams, waterholes and other places like to live in groups, there are hundreds of them in a group, and I don't know how many there are in the southern foothills of the Hengduan Mountains.

They are not in a hurry to climb the city wall, which is not difficult for them, and all five tentacles can easily attach to the city wall, but they keep shooting water arrows at the head of the wall. Whoever threatens them the most is shot at them, and the mages and archers of the town guards are the focus of attention.

Gu Zhuangdian kept changing his magic, trying to find the best way to deal with the "bone beetle".

He casually threw a "blinding technique" at a "bone beetle", and found that the "bone beetle" panicked and sprayed water arrows indiscriminately in all directions, not only did not continue to attack the city wall, but also caused chaos in the worm pile.

"Fire mages use the 'blinding technique', don't choose nearby targets, and try to mess up the entire group of demonic beasts. ”

Blinding, a second-level fire magic spell that uses the fire element to burn the target's eye, causing them to lose their eyesight, and lasts for three minutes, the higher the proficiency, the longer the time.

Among the eighteen magicians in the town protection team, five magicians were fire-based, not including Ding Kui, who stopped using the chicken-ribbed fireball technique and switched to blinding.
