Chapter Forty-Eight: Like a Dream

The clouds and mist dissipated, and the people looked in amazement at the countless cracks that suddenly protruded from the ancient well, and at the ground that seemed to have a wave rolling in it.

A little girl took her mother's hand and whispered.

She said, "This well is going to vomit." ”

So the well really vomited, and spit out the vicious monster with the head of a snake and a human body.

Monsters rushed towards them,

The little girl turned her head and looked at her mother beside her with a blank expression.

......

After the monster poured out, the last trace of vitality that had just been ignited in the ancient sycamore was also sucked away, as if it could no longer bear the pressure, and its branches began to disintegrate little by little in the sunlight.

With the last crisp sound, the ancient sycamore that once covered the sky and the sun finally turned into an inconspicuous black dust in the heavens and the earth.

After the dust was sprinkled, the rift was already visible, and although it was small, it still had the ancient well as its heart, and it was so determined that it meandered in two opposite directions.

......

"Chen Chong!" Li Jingyu ignored the sharp pain in his left chest, and swept away the assassination of a petite monster in front of him with a single shot, and Du Rui beside him drew a backhand knife to cut the monster's soft belly.

The city was filled with the sound of fierce swords, and the giant Chen Chong was fighting fiercely with two siege axes and a monster in front of him who looked like a leader.

"Press forward and support Changdu County!" Li Jingyu's voice was almost hidden in the sound of fighting in the sky.

The giant danced the double axe faster, and led a team of men and horses of the Xiuzi battalion behind him to ram away seven or eight monsters diagonally, trying to solve the siege of the Chinese army in Changdu County.

......

The petite monsters in the monster tide seemed to know which humans were the generals mixed in the military formation, and they either marched in groups of three or five, or crawled forward, in order to inadvertently assassinate the pillars and cores of the defense on the curved white walls.

Li Jingyu had just smashed a monster with his gun, relieving the siege of his own soldiers who had almost taken off the city wall, and the next moment, three flying spears hidden under the battlements of the city wall stabbed at his chest from three different angles at the same time.

Li Jingyu ignored the wounds on his body again, and raised his elemental power, he turned his left arm into a wooden branch to block his chest, and his right arm grabbed a spear, and used defense as an attack to provoke the three petite monsters that attacked him.

Poof, the red tassel spear stabbed three times at the same time in a very short time, breaking through the scale armor and burrowing into the throats of those monsters.

With a click, the three intersecting flying spears also pierced the dead wood branches that Li Jingyu was blocking in front of his chest, and they penetrated Li Jingyu's armor and entered a little more, stabbing into Li Jingyu's chest.

"General!" Du Rui heard a strange noise behind him, turned his head with his hair draped and bloodstained, and stumbled towards Li Jingyu.

Li Jingyu pulled out the three spears and used the power of the wood element to stop the wound.

He pushed the captain of the pro-soldier away with his arm, and stretched out a heroic aura.

laughed and said, "If you can't die, let's kill!"

......

After the fight just now, Li Jingyu found that not all monsters were as cunning and difficult as the one he met that night.

Although the lowly monster has a bit of brute strength, there is no discipline between advance and retreat, and the attack and defense are completely based on their own likes and dislikes, and often three or four soldiers can easily strangle them as long as they can surround them individually.

Slightly tricky are these petite and swift monsters, which are about the size of human women, and although they are ordinary, they are extremely agile in their runs, good at spears, and cold and cunning. Unless it is not a general or veteran who has many years of experience in fighting in battle formations, it is difficult to stop them.

The most terrifying monster is the tree boss level. Li Jingyu counted carefully, and there were exactly nine such powerful and cunning monsters in the nine phalanxes of the Red Flower General. The emotions in their eyes are almost exactly the same as those of humans, and it often takes twenty or thirty people to stop the monster a little bit between advancing and retreating.

There are now a total of six monsters in the city, Changdu County dragged two of them, Chen Chong fought for one, and the rest were surrounded and killed by several generals and soldiers.

As more and more monsters poured in, the pressure on Changdu County to resist was increasing. Even the White Wolf's Supervisory Battalion had to join the fight, this White Wolf was originally a close confidant of Changdu County in the army for many years, and his shots were all the most explosive killing methods in the Northwest Fire Army.

After the monster came up from the east gate, it had already formed an offensive front on the city wall, and although the defenders of the city defense battalion burst out with unimaginable bravery, the front was still pressed back several steps.

Since the explosion in Qubai City just now, the monsters' offensive has increased significantly, and the drumbeat of the Red Flower Lord is almost connected, and there is no stop between each blow.

It pressed all nine of its phalanxes, and the only thing left in the legion was a lone one and dozens of tall guards.

Although the human side suffered heavy casualties, the position was still there, and the embroidery-eyed birds that accompanied the thirty or forty reinforcements from the city squeezed towards the place where the monster had climbed the wall from the east, and the defenders were able to breathe a little.

Chen Chong held two siege axes to crush the leader monster back, and finally came to Changdu County's side.

Unlike his sturdy bull-like size, the giant's heart was actually very delicate, and before he fought the boss monster, he had actually deduced eight ways to deal with this fierce creature in his heart.

And when he fought the monster for a few rounds, he quickly eliminated seven of them, and finally chose to attack in the safest way, consuming the monster first.

In terms of pure physical strength, he has few opponents in the Northwest Army.

But his almost invincible two siege axes couldn't suppress the leader monster's Pu Dao, and even the reaction shook his own hands to a faint numbness.

Chen Chong figured out the monster brute force of this monster, relying on the killing of pure power, he couldn't take any advantage at all.

But after the fight just now, he also found out. Whether it was this boss monster or those inferior guys, as time passed, their eyes were clearly tired, and even the strength in their hands had shrunk.

Chen Chong suddenly felt that this monster was quite similar to the Northwest python in his hometown when he was a child. I still remember when I was eight years old, when I followed my father to hunt in the mountains, he once saw a stout northern python about ten feet tall and a pack of wild wolves fighting for life and death for a dead deer. At first, the python flaunted its might, and soon hanged two wild wolves with its strange power. But the wolves quickly figured out its routine, but after a stick of incense, it exhausted itself in the continuous temptation and harassment of the wolves, and finally showed a flaw and was bitten to death by the head wolf.

Chen Chong guessed that this was also the reason why, in the past two days, although these monsters had tried countless times, they had not really attacked the city once.

They're also gathering momentum, and the safflower lord is going to make sure he gets the shot. If you don't make a move, you will have to press all the troops, and the thunder will come.

Chen Chong's heart was very calm, what kind of monster is this, it's just some powerful animals.

As long as the Qu Bai defenders can hold on to the two pillars of incense one longer, these monsters may not be able to attack first.

......

Then the giant heard a small sound from the wall under his feet, and many people heard it, and even many monsters were so puzzled that they stopped their weapons and looked at the soles of their feet.

A steady curved mouth flowed out of Qubai City, winding towards the woods outside the official road.

The mouth is small, but deep, and there is no end in sight, and the ground around it crackles because of its extension.

The huge battlefield suddenly became quiet because of the appearance of this thin mouth.

The Red Flower Lord stopped beating the drum, put away the crown around his neck, and tidied it up again. It threw its hands up, knelt on its knees, and kowtowed solemnly to the crack,

As the drums faded, the lower monsters stopped roaring. They broke away from the battle formation and huddled together, staring at the rift in silence. Several of the leading monsters crashed away from the humans beside them, leaping off the walls and falling into a cloud of corpses. I don't care about the scars around me. Some of them flew by, some of them limped after the crack, bowing their heads and kissing the stubble of the wasteland as they ran.

Li Jingyu felt that everything around him was slowing down, and he raised his gun to shoot at the red flower master who was bowing his head and worshipping, but the red tassel spear refused to let go.

He turned his head, and Durry, who was beside him, was slowly shouting at him, and it took him a long time to say the word "will".

He looked back into the city in confusion, only to see that the crack had somehow arisen and was connected to the deepest part of the city behind him.

He looked out into the wilderness again, and the crack had slowly extended into the trees of the official road.

Not only that, Li Jingyu saw that cracks appeared in the Wei River, further south, and even in the direction of Longxi, gathering towards the woods.

"When, heart!" After shouting these two words, he felt that he had used it for a long time, and the seven or eight pro-soldiers beside him turned their heads little by little, looking at him strangely.

"Click, click!" Four cracks finally converged in the woods. They began to shake and kick up soot.

The speed of the flow of time seems to have finally recovered.

The people and scenery around him slowly became normal.

Chang Dujun grabbed his long knife and knocked down a group of soldiers behind him, and screamed a strange syllable in his throat.

The sky fell, and the small crack suddenly opened, pouring out a desolate and compassionate angry voice from the deepest part of the earth. Then the cracks in the four connected points suddenly expanded, carrying the cold wind that emanated from the ground, and rushed in all directions, all the way to the sky.

With a speed visible to the naked eye, they turned from cracks into abyssal chasms that split through the wilderness.

This abyssal chasm came from a good life, as if it was pulled apart by the mighty gods with a heavy axe on the earth, reckless, like a miracle. It makes people shudder and cry in confusion.

The sun also began to retreat slowly, as if in cowardice to make way for the night that was surging in all directions.

Li Jingyu looked down at his hands, and wondered why there was a little frost on them?

He lifted his hand and rubbed it on his cheek.

Suddenly, the section of the city wall where the army of Changdu County was in front of him collapsed in the smoke and dust, and fell into the abyss chasm.

Is this a dream?

After a while, the first band of light gushed out of the chasm, and with the humming roar of flight, countless fluorescent flying ants erupted from the mouth of the abyss, and in the dark sky, turned into streamers and poured into the wilderness.

Immediately after, flippered hands crept out of the cracks in the wilderness, followed by skulls and snake-like smiles.

Their queue runs from the head of Qubai City to the woods of the official road.

With another angry sound in the abyss, the monsters stuck out their tongues at the same time, and their faces were full of fanatical prey on the fluorescent flying ants in the sky.

All the monsters that were still alive at the head of Qubai City jumped down from the city wall, followed by the red flower general, sticking out their tongues in the wilderness to hunt the flying ants that had fled in terror.

The wilderness was full of snake-faced monsters, and thousands of flying ants the size of red dates had to rush towards Qubai City, which lacked predators.

They fly extremely fast, and when they hit a person's body, they can directly blow off a person's limbs.

Li Jingyu watched Wang Si's panicked baggage camp men behind him being hit by the rain of insects, and he dragged Deyang, who was stunned in place, at the last moment, and dragged him into the battlements of the city wall to hide.

......

Ant colonies in the wilderness are decreasing.

Some low-level monsters wanted to jump into the city to hunt flying ants, but they were torn in half by the boss monster. The Red Flower Master jumped off the siege engine, patted the head of the leader monster, and shook his neck with a playful smile.

It wants monsters all over the wilderness to surround Qubai City on all sides!

Li Jingyu hid under the battlements of the city wall, trembling his lips, and exhaled a few breaths in the ice wind.

"Wow...... What the is this...... Wow...... "He didn't know what to say."
