Chapter 390: Steel Needle Bee Beast
readx;
The crowd walked in the swamp with great difficulty for nearly an hour, and almost all of their energy was devoted to finding the road, and they had no time to pay attention to where Stropa was in seclusion!
Raising her head, looking at the pale green poisonous mist that seemed to be boundless in the distance, and looking back at the tiredness and helplessness on the faces of the soldiers, Liu Hongyu couldn't help but shake her head and let out a long sigh. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The Sword Lieutenant and the Axe Lieutenant came to Liu Hongyu's side, and seeing Liu Hongyu's embarrassed face, the Sword Lieutenant asked softly, "Miss, why did you suddenly stop?
Liu Hongyu waved her hand and said, "Before entering the Death Swamp, although I also thought about the difficulties I could encounter, I was really immersed in the scene, and I realized that I was still very inconsiderate...... Not only is the road difficult to find and walk in the swamp, but the poisonous fog is also gradually getting thicker, even after taking the Barrier Pill, I feel that I can't breathe well, my blood is not flowing, and those legendary ferocious swamp source beasts that have not yet appeared...... There are so many problems we have to face and solve......"
"And ...... do you mean?" asked the Sword Captain tentatively.
"That's all for today!" After thinking for a while, Liu Hongyu said firmly: "The purpose of our coming here is just to find someone, there is no need to put everyone's lives in danger!"
The axe captain frowned roughly, and said in a deep voice: "But Miss, our current position is only the outer edge of the swamp, if we return to the town now, it will not be of any substantial help to our future actions! Depending on the subordinates, let's hold on a little longer, see if we can continue to go deeper into the swamp, at least, we must also explore the road in the swamp clearly! In this way, when we come back tomorrow, the speed of travel will be much faster!"
In fact, in Captain Axe's view, the reason why Liu Hongyu suddenly put forward the idea of quitting the swamp was because Liu Hongyu, a young lady from a family, had been pampered since she was a child, and she couldn't bear the hardships in the swamp at all! This made Captain Axe, an iron-blooded soldier, very unaccustomed to it, and even added a trace of contempt and impatience to Liu Hongyu's tone of speech.
How could Captain Axe's attitude escape the eyes of the Sword Captain, who was very familiar with him? The Captain didn't think about it, and hurriedly came out to play a round and said, "Captain Axe, Miss said that we should withdraw from the swamp, but it wasn't for the sake of the safety of all of us! You must not be unreasonable to Miss because of this!"
"It's okay, Sword Captain. Liu Hongyu waved her hand and said, "What Captain Axe said still has some truth, but I always feel that something is wrong in my heart, and this feeling of inappropriateness is becoming more and more obvious...... My instinct tells me that we will only be safe if we exit the swamp now, if not......"
"What if not?" The axe captain glared at his pair of leopard eyes, and simply interrupted Liu Hongyu's words, and shouted in a low voice: "According to my meaning, the eldest lady of a rich and noble family like you should not come to this death swamp to suffer!
After saying that, the axe captain lifted the giant axe in his hand, waved his big hand, and led the soldiers to continue walking towards the swamp.
The sword lieutenant looked at the back of the axe captain and the others with some embarrassment, and then smiled at Liu Hongyu very embarrassedly, and said: "Miss, don't be surprised, the axe captain is a straight person, in fact, he has no malicious intentions, he just wants to complete the task assigned by the duke quickly......"
Liu Hongyu bit her lower lip and shook her head, but didn't say anything, just opened her legs without a sound, followed behind the soldiers, and walked forward together.
The sword lieutenant sighed to himself, and could only walk quickly to Liu Hongyu's side to protect her safety.
Due to the Captain Axe's disdain for Liu Hongyu's orders, the previous formation was completely changed, and the Captain Axe led the soldiers to open the way in front, while Liu Hongyu and the Sword Captain became broken......
In this way, everyone walked a long way into the swamp, not only the poisonous fog around is getting thicker and thicker, but even the places where you can settle are becoming fewer and fewer, and there are even several times when soldiers are almost trapped in the swamp, but fortunately, the people around reacted quickly, and they immediately fished it out, so now the team is at least full......
"Axe Captain! That's enough!" came the sword captain's shout from behind, "Now, the duration of the second shield pill is about to expire, we should be ready to return!"
Captain Axe knew that what the Sword Captain said was not wrong, but on the first day he entered the swamp he found nothing, and this result made Captain Axe have no way to accept it, which in Captain's opinion, was no different from mission failure, and his arrogant sense of military honor made him fall into a kind of unwillingness and remorse.
"He's meow!" Captain Axe slammed the branch he was using to explore the way to the ground, and scolded: "What the hell is this place! The visibility is so low, the road is not easy to walk, and there is such a poisonous fog ......" As he spoke, the Captain Axe leaned down and sank into the dantian, and then saw him raise his neck violently, and raised his head to the sky and shouted: "Stropa, can you be an old immortal in this swamp of death? If you hear Lao Tzu's shout, he will quickly roll in front of Lao Tzu!" Save Lao Tzu from running into this damn swamp twice in three days...... Old ghost Stroppa, do you hear me?"
"Nonsense!" the sword lieutenant suddenly shouted excitedly when he heard the axe captain, and the shouting was quite vulgar, which made the sword captain frown, and on tiptoe, he hurriedly leaped to the side of the axe captain, and without saying a word, he raised his hand and covered the axe captain's mouth, and at the same time attached to the axe captain's ear and shouted softly: "Are you crazy?!Do you know what the consequences will be if you really let Stropa hear these words? With his cultivation, he can wipe out all of us here in minutes! Don't you want to live anymore? ”
The Axe Lieutenant pulled away the Sword Captain's hand, turned around, and snorted angrily: "Sword Captain, what kind of errand did you say that the Lord sent us here? It's just extremely depressed! Not to mention the figure of Stroba in this swamp, he can't even see a source beast in his meow, it's really a nest of fire! In my opinion, that Stropa is estimated to have died a long time ago, turned into a pile of white bones, and sank to the bottom of the swamp!"
The sword lieutenant wanted to reprimand the axe lieutenant again, but saw Liu Hongyu come to the two of them in a few steps, made a silent gesture, and said with a stern expression: "Did you hear any sound?"
The sword lieutenant and the axe lieutenant were stunned when they heard this, and hurriedly kept silent, and listened attentively with Liu Hongyu. At first, they didn't hear any sound, but as time passed, a chirp of "buzz~buzz~" gradually became clear from far to near.
"It's ...... Bees?" Captain Axe looked at Liu Hongyu and Sword Captain in surprise, Liu Hongyu shook his head blankly, indicating that he didn't know, but Sword Captain said thoughtfully: "It shouldn't be a bee, how can a bee fly in the poisonous fog of this swamp?"
They didn't guess for too long, because this "buzz~buzz~" sound quickly came to their approach! After really seeing the creature that made this sound clearly, Liu Hongyu and the three of them were suddenly taken aback!
I saw that from the direction from which I came, a ball of strange bees the size of a palm flew over, and this kind of strange bees were roughly the same as ordinary bees, except that the posture in which they flew was not lying on their stomachs, but standing upright like people! The inch-long poisonous needles on their tails were even more radiant with a miserable green penetrating light! The tips of the poisonous needles also pointed directly at the positions of everyone as they flew upright, like a poisonous arrow full of bows, which made people tremble and chill all over their bodies!
"This ...... This is...... The Sword Captain's voice was already a little fluttering, but he still tried to keep his composure as much as possible, and ordered everyone: "Don't move, everyone! Hold your breath! Control the flow of source power! Don't let these bees see that we are living creatures! They usually only attack creatures that are hostile to them!"
After listening to the words of the Sword Captain, everyone immediately acted according to the Sword Captain's method, one by one, like wood carved clay sculptures, motionless, as if there had never been a living person here at all!
It can be said that the sword captain still knows a lot about this kind of creature called the steel needle bee beast that suddenly appeared, and in normal times, the sword captain likes to study all kinds of rare and exotic beasts on the continent, so he still has a lot of say in understanding the source beast, and at the same time, the sword captain acts steadily and knows the general situation, so Smith will finally send him to help Liu Hongyu!
However, the later development of the matter was obviously a great surprise to the sword captain, the steel needle bee beast, which did not attack the dead thing, after coming to the sky above everyone, actually slowly spread out to both sides, forming a semi-encirclement posture against everyone, and at the same time, these bee beasts also poked forward with the poisonous needle on their tail, making a posture ready to attack at any time.
This situation made the sword captain, the axe captain and those soldiers extremely nervous, and the sword captain also doubted the knowledge he had several times, for fear that he would remember it wrong, so that everyone fell into the siege of bees......
Unlike other people, Liu Hongyu, who was more careful, paid attention to the eyes of the steel needle bee beast at this time! Because Liu Hongyu always believed that no matter what kind of creature it was, the most able to reveal its original intention was the eyes!
Sure enough, at the moment after the steel needle bee beasts laid out the offensive formation, Liu Hongyu really felt a faint murderous aura from the eyes of most of the bee beasts! This made Liu Hongyu feel startled, and hurriedly shouted: "The situation is not good, everyone be careful! These bee beasts are about to attack us!"
