Yang Xinyong led his small team, tightly wrapped in half-worn and patched but clean animal skin cloaks, and patrolled at the dark and rugged foot of the mountain.
After walking a few steps, Yang Xinyong tightened his cloak, looked up at the dim "Xuan Yang" diagonally above him, then looked at the faint barrier in the distance, felt the cold wind blowing down from the mountain, and sighed: "Everyone, work harder, and go back to keep warm after the patrol. This damn place, it seems there is no trace of the "evil beast" now."
"The captain is mighty. Those evil beasts dare not come out where the captain is!" A young captain offered a sweet flattery.
Yang Xinyong laughed out loud after hearing this: “Liu Ming, be careful with your words.”
Amid the joyful noises, another team leader said doubtfully, "Captain, look there... the barrier seems to be slightly fluctuating!"
"Hey, Tang Xiaodong, your eyes are blurry." Liu Ming said.
Tang Xiaodong was about to say something, but Yang Xinyong took a serious look and then said, "I didn't see it either. Let's go, the next group of patrols will arrive soon, let's go back quickly."
Tang Xiaodong understood, and the group prepared to speed through this side, return as soon as possible, and hand over the shift. But at this moment, a scream suddenly came from the back, and everyone turned around and saw that a soldier at the end of the team had fallen down, and a black insect about half a meter long and as thick as an arm was gnawing at the soldier's head.
The insect was pitch black, covered with a shell that looked like it was made of fine steel, and had six hideous limbs in front and back, all covered with barbs. Its two purple-red compound eyes flashed with cold and cruel light, and it was looking at everyone vigilantly.
"World Devourer!" Team leader Yang Xinyong was horrified and shouted, "Back off, Liu Ming, quickly take out the insect net!"
Liu Ming's face changed drastically: "Captain, isn't the insect net broken? Leave it to the logistics department to repair it!"
Yang Xinyong's expression changed, but he still said calmly: "Where's the medicine powder!"
"Here!" Tang Xiaodong took out the powder from his body, raised a ball of wind with both hands, and blew the powder towards the Devourer. The Devourer was very alert, and instantly jumped from the dead soldier, and jumped to the next soldier in a flash of light.
The soldier screamed and rolled over to throw the Devourer away, but his forehead was pierced and he almost died. The soldier who survived the disaster jumped to the side like a rabbit.
Behind him, the soldiers had surrounded the Devourer, and the swords and sabers fell, but only clanging sounds were heard, sparks flew, and the Devourer was almost unscathed. At this time, the Devourer was already enraged and let out a shrill cry.
"Oh no! It's calling for its companions! Hurry up and spread the powder. Don't worry about whether everyone will be poisoned. We can detoxify them when we get back!"
Tang Xiaodong yelled, "Everyone be careful, I'm going to sprinkle the powder! Hey!"
With a shout, a large amount of powder was scattered; the Devourer tried to dodge, but was trapped in the middle by the swords of the soldiers. The powder fell on the human body, and blood beans appeared on the soldiers' bodies and faces; and the powder fell on the Devourer, causing the Devourer's flawless shell to begin to show "rust spots". Especially in the place where it was chopped by the sword, the rust spread very quickly.
After a dozen breaths, Yang Xinyong shouted, "Change people!"
