Chapter 1009: Nine Rivers City (3)
However, Zhao Tian's combat power was beyond my expectations, to put it bluntly, my impression of Zhao Tian's combat power only stayed at the scene where he shot his companion on that miniature island, and I never thought that this kid was still a good hand in mountain warfare.
His physique is very similar to those Burmese, at most it is slightly strengthened, but in actual combat he has obvious advantages, hovering in the mountains is very free, and the speed of killing the enemy is not much slower than mine.
The Burmese in front of us quickly broke up under our flanking attack, some of the Burmese took advantage of the chaos to burrow along the mountains on either side, while others were surrounded by fire and guns as they tried to retreat from the bottom of the canyon.
I even captured a Burmese alive, but he didn't speak Chinese, and I threw him off a cliff and fell to his death.
After a brief confrontation, we heard the shouts of the wanderers coming from within, telling us to retreat into Nine Rivers City, saying that they were going to seal off the canyon crossing.
The men then fled at full speed towards Nine Rivers City, looking like they had taken us for granted.
It's a pity that we couldn't catch up with them and ask for the specifics, but it doesn't matter anymore because we'll know the results soon.
In order to avoid accidents, we still fell back to the bottom of the canyon on the ground, and ran quickly along the winding canyon pass, and then we didn't encounter any enemies, but there were a large number of Tai Sui fragments and a lot of sticky marks everywhere on the ground, all of which were left by those Tai Sui crawling.
This shows that although a large number of Tai Sui were killed by earthen cannons on the road, there were still many Tai Sui who managed to break into the town.
As I was about to walk through the canyon and enter the real Nine Rivers City, I suddenly heard a strange howl from a short distance from where we were.
I've heard this sound before, and it's not a lot of times, but it's impressed.
It's the kind of monster with two heads!
So far, I have only seen this kind of monster in the depths of the back mountain of Nanlu Mountain and on the train chasing Chen Lie, and I always thought that it was something that the Blue Bird Company had researched itself, but now it seems that this is probably not the case.
At least......
The Burmese can also control them.
You must know that the strength of this two-headed monster is not trivial, at that time my physique was not weak, but at the same time it was difficult to even deal with a two-headed monster, even if my current physique has improved by leaps and bounds, but once I encounter a large number of two-headed monsters, I still can't parry.
And listening to the movement and number of these voices now, it will certainly not be one or two.
I hurriedly told the others about the situation, who knew that Mr. Qin actually knew about the existence of this kind of monster, he told me that they had also suffered the loss of this kind of monster when they were entangled with the Blue Bird Company in South China Province before, but at that time, the number of such two-headed monsters was extremely rare, and I didn't expect that the number had increased so many times now.
The reason for the creation of these monsters has always been a mystery to us, and it would be a bit scary to say that they were created by man, and it doesn't seem necessary, because I can't think of any other use for an extra head than being scary.
In other words, if the monster with two heads is super powerful, then even if one is cut off, it will not be weak.
Or is it ......
This extra head is purely for the sake of safety, so that if one head falls off, the other head can continue to control the body's movements?
I told everyone to be vigilant, and if they really encounter this kind of monster later, they must not go head-to-head, but fight in a roundabout way.
Now that even the two-headed monsters have joined the Burmese ranks, so I'm going to do more to help the wanderers in the city resist the Burmese.
This policy will continue until I find Liu Yong.
Soon after walking through the canyon pass, Mr. Qin and Zhao Tian also began to look at the city at the entrance.
Although the two of them knew Jiuhe City well, they were far from familiar, because they had not stayed in the new site of Jiuhe City for too long, so I asked them to observe carefully as much as possible to see if the situation was different from before.
Soon Mr. Qin told me that there should have been more than a dozen towering towers on both sides of the canyon mouth in Jiuhe City, but now all of them are gone.
Zhao Tian also nodded and said that these towers are all made of reinforced concrete, which is extremely strong, and it is impossible to knock them down even with earth cannons, but now there are no ones.
I hurriedly inquired about the exact location of the towers, and then I found a nearby vantage point and began to look at them, and then I noticed that there were many holes under them, as if something had been dug out of the ground.
......
I immediately thought of some animals that were born to burrow in the ground, and if these animals were controlled by the Burmese like the crows before them, it was not impossible to directly penetrate the ground and destroy the foundations of those towers.
I was thinking about it, and suddenly I noticed that there seemed to be a fight on the ground over there, and when I looked closely, I found that there were many black figures faintly flashing through those holes.
Black figure ......
This......
This is clearly what those little black things look like!
These little guys have fought me countless times on the island and on land, and I am all too familiar with their way of moving, and with their abilities, it is completely trivial to penetrate a hole in the ground, even if it is impossible to drill into the city in one go from outside the mountains of Nine Rivers City.
I don't dare to assert that I have 100% control over these little black things, but at least I can interfere with their actions to a large extent.
I quickly told Mr. Qin and Zhao Tian about this situation, and Mr. Qin said with a look of sudden realization: "No wonder Jiuhe City fell into chaos so quickly, the towers at these entrances are equipped with a large amount of heavy firepower, and these firepower are guarding the pass, originally there were no Gu things rushing in from the entrance, but now they have been drawn from the bottom of the kettle, so naturally they can't keep the line of defense."
Then Mr. Qin glanced at the city again and said, "Did you hear that? There are gunshots about five kilometers away, and that is the city hall where Liu Yong is, if we move faster, we may be able to find Liu Yong before he leaves or dies in battle!"
I said in my heart that Mr. Qin could cross out the possibility of dying in battle, because it was impossible for Liu Yong to sacrifice himself, and with his current ability and the vitality that Jiuhe City retained, it was not a problem for him to protect himself at all.
I quickly judged the situation in front of me, the tunnels dug by those little black things spread to the path we had to go through, and if we wanted to rush through, we had to walk through the area controlled by these little black things, so my first task was to find a way to interfere with or even control the little black things in this area, otherwise we would have to waste a lot of time just here.
I told the others to follow me slowly, and I myself took the lead, sending out the cold energy mixed with my body.
I don't know if it's because of the new cold air and the fact that Nie Bi transmitted his energy to me before, in short, the response I got this time was quite fast, and I could sense the subtle connection between those little black things and me almost instantly.
I can even feel the approximate number of little black things, and I feel that there are no less than a hundred little black things that have connected with me alone.
Immediately afterwards, we saw a large number of small black things began to emerge from the countless holes in the ground like rats, and then there were some other strange small Gu worms that appeared together, these Gu worms had different colors and different body sizes, mixed between the small black things and the holes and rocks on the ground, giving people the illusion of an extremely large number.
These Gu worms were not controlled by me like the little black things, on the contrary, after a short period of stagnation, they actually began to bite back on those little black things.
Could it be that these Gu worms sensed that the little black things were no longer loyal to the Burmese, so they began to fight in the nest?
But it wasn't my business, the fight between them was dog-eat-dog to me, and I took advantage of the chaos and the group to rush through the ground full of holes and the rubble of the towers, and then we were greeted by a large shanty town.
The shantytowns are identical to some of the simple houses on the edge of the city, and you can see that these shanties were used for small workshops, such as meat and vegetable processing, rice and flour grinding, and I even saw some pens for raising livestock.
I can see a lot of wasted food on the ground, and I feel very distressed to see it, if it weren't for the situation, I would definitely collect all the food scattered on the ground.
Even I was distressed, then Mr. Qin and Zhao Tian stomped their feet even more, I heard Zhao Tian say that it would be good if he could let him take all this food, it would be a tyrannical thing to put here.
The Burmese who attacked the area showed that they did not care about food, suggesting that their own supplies were not only sufficient, but also sustainably regenerating, and that they may already have their own fertile land and livestock systems.
The shantytowns are littered with corpses, and most of them are the corpses of wanderers, who here are all exaggerated, and most of them have their limbs torn alive.
Of all the Gu creatures I've encountered so far, only those black giants and two-headed monsters who have lost their minds can do it, and now it's obviously the latter.
I hurriedly told everyone to lower their bodies and watch out for the nearby two-headed monsters, and less than half a minute after my order was given, I heard a familiar howl suddenly come from a shack on the side, and when the second sound sounded again, a giant two-headed monster twice my size jumped out of the door with a "hula".
And with him, there were actually two Tai Sui who were not as small as they were, and they looked like they were protecting the Dharma left and right.
Because I had been mentally prepared, I didn't panic, and the psychological quality of the others was not covered, everyone took out Gu muskets one after another to block the way of the three monsters, and then a large cloud of Gu worms burst out from those Tai Sui's bodies.
Some of the Gu worms were blocked by the Gu Fire Wall, but there were still more Gu worms that rose into the air and launched a surprise attack from above us.
I immediately asked Chen Mengyu and Xia Ran to turn their fire to block the Gu insects in the air, and I myself aimed at one of the Tai Sui and hit a fierce shot of spiritual energy, this Tai Sui was instantly torn apart by my spiritual energy, and more Gu insects were scattered in its body, and it was burned by He Yunsong's precise Gu fire.
That Tai Sui and the Gu worms in his body quickly turned into ashes under the Gu fire.
At this time, the two-headed monster also broke through the siege of Gu Fire and approached us, I asked the others to lure the second Tai Sui away, and I myself picked up the mountain opening knife and ran in front of the two-headed monster, and after a volley jump, I aimed at his head and slashed down.
Last time I was singled out with a two-headed monster twice as small as him, I didn't take advantage of anything, I thought the situation would be worse this time, who knew that after I went down this knife, I actually split a big slit directly in the middle of the two-headed monster, and one of the guy's heads immediately drooped down, and I cut it off in an instant with another knife.
On the other side, Amy also rushed to help, she was using the Gu fire to burn into the wound in the center of the two-headed monster that was split by me, it seemed to be stimulated by the Gu fire, the strength of the two-headed monster instantly increased, I wanted to use the mountain knife to continue to slash, so that it could split the upper and lower bodies, but who knew that it threw me to the ground with this fierce flick.
Seeing that the big feet of this thing were about to step on my belly, Zhao Tian appeared behind the guy in time, and I saw Zhao Tian put a thick iron chain on the remaining head of the monster, and the monster wanted to get close to me, but was pulled by the chain.
Only then did I realize that the other end of the chain was connected to a convex ground, and I thought that this thing was originally used to tie some kind of large domestic animal, but now it was cleverly used by Zhao Tian.
I have to say that this guy really saved my life, and before the two-headed monster could react, a harrier rolled over and jumped up, cutting off its second head.
The two-headed monster turned into a headless monster and collapsed in a pool of blood and lost its vitality.
"Quick! Hide in the house!" Zhao Tian shouted.
Then I heard a large number of crows behind me, and when I looked back, a black crush of crows was rushing straight behind us, but the target was not us, but in the direction of the town hall five kilometers away.
But for the sake of safety, we temporarily hid in a shack, which was also full of all kinds of stumps and limbs, we covered our noses and rested for a while, and then Zhao Tian said: "It's too dangerous to walk on foot! If we can have a sturdy vehicle, maybe we can get twice the result with half the effort!"
For the sake of the way he had just saved my life, I didn't suspect him for the time being, but asked him where he had a sturdy vehicle.
