The confrontation on the battlefield continues.
However, with the arrival of Xu Hongzhuang, the soldiers' pressure was obviously much less, but they still looked solemn, because they knew that they would soon face a real battle.
Four magic crystal cannons were pushed out, and all the aiming points were concentrated on one point.
Based on multiple explorations, the whereabouts of the insects were determined. They were hiding ten meters underground. No other creature could dig such a huge hole underground except insects.
Borer.
It looks like a giant centipede, but its body is extremely huge. Among the insect swarms, if the giant earthworm is a lord-level drilling expert, then these insects have reached the elite level.
This kind of insect does not have any offensive power. In fact, since they mutated, they have been hiding underground and eating soil and stones for a living.
But this does not mean that they are harmless to humans. As one of the subordinates enslaved by the Insect King, these insects help other of the same kind build hiding places, and sometimes even build a big hole leading to human cities. Although they rarely devour humans, they are also one of the accomplices of the insects.
More importantly, these insects have extremely destructive power on the land. If the foundation is destroyed, even a small earthquake may cause landslides in the surrounding area.
Being able to dig such a huge cave, which conservatively estimates that there are more than ten burrowing worms inside, sounded a wake-up call for Chen Feng. If he wants to win this battle, he must act quickly. Once the burrowing worms react, it won't take long for them to dig a secret survival passage for the rest of the worms.
Chen Feng doesn't want to see this scene.
"Let's get started."
Chen Feng nodded to Xu Hongzhuang, and the other party raised his arm. The next second, four magic crystal cannons were ignited, drawing a trajectory and blasting towards the center point!
Suddenly!
The situation on the entire battlefield changed dramatically, followed by a deafening roar. Some people could not even stand and almost fell to the ground.
With the help of the power of gunpowder, these magic crystal cannons possess amazing destructive power. The land before them disappears at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Boom!
A terrible impact broke out in an instant!
When the four shells hit the ground, the entire land began to shake, and the surrounding trees were directly broken. A huge air wave mixed with dust flew up, reaching a height of more than ten meters, expanding like a mushroom cloud.
Cracks appeared all around, and a big hole was blown out of the hard ground. In the splashing air waves, in addition to the expected soil and stones, some red plasma also splashed everywhere.
Appeared!
Just when the insects thought they were safe hiding underground, several shells directly blasted their hiding place, leaving them with nowhere to hide.
"Deploy!"
Chen Feng waved his hand, and a group of little devils suddenly flew over the explosion point. In addition to some high-explosive grenades, they even had some corpse bombs hanging on the trees. At this time, they used all their strength to throw them down.
There were continuous explosions, and after three rounds of throwing, the little devils flew away excitedly.
Under attack!
No matter how stupid the bug was, it noticed some problems at this time.
Sizzle!
Along with sounds similar to those of insects, some gathering sounds were heard from the cave entrance not far away.
The individual consciousness of insects is very weak. In a swarm of thousands of insects like this, there is definitely a leader insect that gives orders. It commands these insects and, at times, it gives them orders through calls, like a general.
"Draw your weapons!"
Although the magic crystal cannon and high-explosive grenades have amazing lethality, they cannot truly kill all the bugs underground. In this case, 30% of the bugs dying in the explosion is already a rare surprise.
In fact, Chen Feng never pinned his hopes for victory on this level of attack. Bombing was only a step to disrupt the opponent's plan. What really led to victory was still the fight between flesh and blood.
Standing in the front row was a group of skeleton warriors. Following the command of the Necromancer, they took out their weapons, fearlessly took a step forward, and formed a defense.
In the back were the human warriors, holding weapons and guns. Although there was some tension on their faces, they were mostly resolute. They were real warriors, and they knew how to better calm themselves in this situation.
The dust cleared.
Suddenly, gusts of cool wind blew in, blowing up dust and paper scraps on the ground, making them fly all over the sky. Many pedestrians couldn't open their eyes because of the dust.
At the same time, it was as if a dimensional wall appeared in front of them. The ground that had been bombarded by artillery shells was even filled with layers of flickering light and smoke, emitting a deep and terrifying oppressive atmosphere.
There was a huge round pit, with some insects occasionally pouring out like waves of tides, at least two or three, and at most more than ten, as if they were frightened by something and rushed out madly.
Sure enough, this is obviously a garrison point for the bugs!
There are traditional sulfuric acid worms and red rock beetles, as well as giant grasshoppers evolved from grasshoppers, and even blade mantises, poisonous giant lice, and blood centipedes.
The sulfuric acid worms and red rock beetles were not so bad, they were just unevolved bugs, but the giant grasshoppers were as big as adults, with amazing jumping ability, and could even jump to a height of five stories with one leap. What's more, there were also some bronze-level blood centipedes, with countless insect legs swinging at will, and their dark hairs were like steel needles, glowing with a poisonous light, and their eyes were like the lava of hell, emitting an extremely strong hostility.
And inside, there are some mutated lice. What are the lice in the image? You need to carefully identify them with the naked eye to see the bugs, but at this time, after the energy mutation, these bugs have become washbasin-sized, hideous, and ugly behemoths.
The giant lice can even spray poison, which contains some fire poison. After infection, people's skin begins to fester and then their blood is contaminated. Within ten minutes, they will turn into a highly decayed corpse, which is extremely terrifying.
"Hiss..."
As soon as these insects rushed out, they immediately swept towards the crowd frantically. Although there were only hundreds of insects, their momentum was no less than that of thousands of troops!
Familiar scene.
Chen Feng was a little dazed now. At this moment, he seemed to be in the catastrophe of his previous life, with cries and begging for mercy everywhere.
The crowd suddenly became a mess, screaming, crying, and roaring as they ran for their lives. Some people even threw away the backpacks on their backs and the bags in their hands, and ran wildly with the howling of ghosts and wolves - they did not need to outrun the bugs, they only needed to run faster than their companions, because the bugs would be the first to eat the food in front of them.
In this environment, some people, in order to survive, would even throw their companions to the ground in order to increase their chances of escape.
Human nature is the most difficult emotion to test.
In the face of despair, the ugliest side of human nature will be exposed. A small number of people were not killed by insects, but actually died at the hands of their companions.
But now things have changed.
The insects are still the same insects as before, the blood centipedes waving their tentacles, the blade mantises flying in the sky, and the red rock beetles rushing around like tanks. They used to hide underground, but at this moment, after being disturbed, they are like a group of demons dancing wildly, which is frightening.
But now, the insects are no longer facing those ordinary people who were extremely panicked as before, but a group of well-equipped and strong-willed warriors.
The magic crystal cannon was pushed out.
"Start charging!"
“Aim and shoot!”
"emission!"
A dazzling ray of light shot out!
The magic crystal cannon, which contained soul power, flashed a dazzling light and directly turned several skeleton warriors on the route into dust, and then crushed them all the way, instantly hitting all the bugs in a straight line.
In just a moment, a five-meter-wide vacuum zone appeared at the center of the battlefield. No matter whether it was a low-level insect or a bronze-level insect, facing this peak attack, it had no chance to resist and was killed in an instant, turning into a pool of meat sauce and falling to the ground.
There was dead silence on the battlefield!
This shot directly killed nearly sixty insects, instantly decomposing the enemy's corpses, and even evaporated part of the hard insect armor!
The power of this shot was so great that even the fearless insects seemed to be in turmoil.
"shot!"
At this time, Xu Hongzhuang also began to issue orders.
The soldiers from Qiaodong District pressed the trigger hard, and then, like a meteor shower, countless bullets hit the insects.
The evolved insects could still hold out for a while under this intensive hail of bullets, but for those ordinary insects, it was a devastating blow.
Countless blood flowers exploded on the bodies of the insects. For example, the sulfuric acid worm was even completely decomposed. What was even more horrifying was that after it exploded, the sulfuric acid splashed everywhere, and the nearby companions were contaminated. The insect armor was corroded and they fell to the ground wailing.
Judging from the current situation, the bugs have fallen into a passive position.
"Boom..."
However, just when Chen Feng thought the outcome had been decided, a strange earthquake sound suddenly came from deep underground.
Even the air was filled with a dangerous atmosphere that made people shudder. Whenever a cold wind blew, people would feel a chill slowly crawling across their backs, as if a sticky water snake was climbing on their back against their skin.
Not only ordinary people, but even masters of Lu Wei and Wei Xun's level were the same. When they looked over and saw the huge hole full of insect corpses, their hearts almost stopped without exception, as if a huge rock was pressing heavily on their throats and chests. Not to mention being surprised, they couldn't even breathe.
Then, a huge insect that was shining with orange stripes all over its body broke through the ground and appeared in front of everyone with astonishing momentum.
"really."
Chen Feng's expression was a little surprised, but that was all. He had made a prediction about this place long before, and from the moment he saw the other party, he could finally be sure.
One of the five insect kings is the leader of this group of insects.
The Insect King, who was known as invincible in land warfare and even killed three silver-level warriors by just charging into them, appeared in front of everyone in this posture.
Dragon beetle.
Chen Feng stared at the insect with more interest than fear, and said calmly: "A rare sacrifice, what an unexpected gain..."
