Chapter 48: The Deception
"Can such a fire burn that white tiger to death?"
"I'm afraid that it can find a deep cave to hide in, with the strong body of the white tiger, it may not be difficult to survive, and if it is a bride in red, if it is determined to leave at the beginning of the fire, I am afraid it can easily leave. ”
Gu Juan glanced at Sima who was standing motionless on a high place from a distance, and his doubts were even more prevalent.
This is a question that even he can easily think of, Sima, as the old man of the Persona Division, can't think of it, but why did he have to choose such a time-consuming, laborious, and troublesome method of burning mountains in the end?
Or is there some other secret hidden in it that he doesn't know yet?
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and it was already spreading towards the camp below.
Fortunately, the requisitioned army Lauf had already carved out a firebreak around the camp, and as for other places, even if the fire burned into a large area of gravel wilderness, it would soon be extinguished, and it would not cause much damage.
"Is this the flame that kills your fwingers, these people, the change of their minds, and the abundance of means, are indeed not comparable to us now. A wisp of white smoke loomed in the flames, distorting slightly with the air under the heat.
The smoke that made up Bai Li's body was almost half as weak as it had been at the beginning, and his voice was weaker, unlike when he was in a deserted village at the foot of the mountain.
"How long will we have to endure it a little longer?" said the Lacewing, "This wildfire is getting bigger and bigger, and the damage to me is also increasing, and if we don't evacuate, my foundation will be severely damaged." ”
"The white tiger can't be hidden, there are similar kinds of people watching outside, you and I can't act rashly now. ”
The white smoke suddenly exploded, spreading rapidly in the raging fire and billowing smoke, enveloping the space in a hundred zhang square area.
The next moment, Bai Li's slightly surprised voice sounded again, "You, are you avoiding me?"
The sandfly's hoarse and difficult voice became smaller and smaller, as if blending into the depths of the whirring wind and crackling fire, "Don't expose your weak self to your kind, this is what Pu Lian let me know, about the danger of life and death." ”
"I didn't eat Pu Lian completely. ”
"However, Pu Lian has dissipated...... Bai Li, you once said that Pu Lian was too murderous, but, in my eyes, you are now the most murderous of the same kind. ”
"Lacewing, you are wrong, under such circumstances, I will never do anything to devour you. ”
"Without you, it would be difficult for me to fight against the White Tiger and the newcomer. ”
"Bai Li, you won't be so the best, now only if we really work together, can we retreat from the prying eyes of the newcomers. ”
"That's for sure, you and I have been friends since the beginning of our minds, and those people, who value this relationship so much, that they call it siblings...... In that case, we will retreat together for the time being, and when we recover, we will go in search of this new kind. ”
"Yes. The Lacewing was silent for a moment, and when she spoke again, her voice was much clearer than before.
"Found you. The white smoke suddenly changed from extremely static to extremely moving, rapidly expanding towards the surroundings, enveloping the area more and more, and suddenly, the white smoke in one place gathered violently, condescending to overlook several large trees that were burning quietly.
"Just merge with me, and let me use the combined force of the two of us to fight against the White Tiger and the new arrivals. ”
"Bai Li, you ......" The hoarse and difficult voice suddenly rose, full of anger, "You just said that you want to join forces with me and retreat!"
"You're here, you're lying to me!"
"Lacewing, I have learned from those people that the real is false, the false is real, and the promise is profitable, it is better to lure it into a dream, and deceive it than to deceive it. ”
"What's more, I didn't really deceive you, I devoured you, and I became one, and it is also our joint force, and it is the best joint force. ”
The white smoke quickly gathered and formed again in the area, enveloping the towering trees that had been standing in the flames.
"No!"
The big tree in the center trembled violently, and there were eyes on the tree, and countless dense eyes blinked at the same time, which definitely made people feel terrible and sad.
But the white mist didn't show any discomfort, on the contrary, it seemed to become excited, tentatively approaching those eyes a little bit.
Syllable!
Bang bang bang!
Without warning, more than a tenth of the tree's eyes exploded at the same time, and thousands of tiny black worms flew out of it, rushing into the white smoke.
"It's useless, lacewing, these sandflies you let out have no effect on me. ”
"Do you still want to escape, I understand that as long as some sandflies are gone, you can get out of my hands, and then hide and recover slowly...... However, your ideas and methods are still useless to me, and they will become my food and become my strength. ”
"What's more, even if I let a few sandflies leave, it will be too difficult for you to recover, and you have lost almost all of your strength, so what's the point of surviving like this?"
Bai Li remained calm, allowing the cloud-like black worms to enter the white smoke, and then devouring and digesting them one by one.
It was still waiting, and did not rush to attack the remaining eyes.
Because even the lacewing, which is weak to the extent it is now, is not so easy to be really killed, and it takes a lot of time and strength to grind it to death little by little, and time and a safe environment are what Bai Li lacks.
In this way, the layers of consumption and strangulation can devour the power of the lacewing.
If it weren't for the severe damage and the great threat of the newcomers, it wouldn't be willing to do this to the lacewing, after all, for it and the lacewing, it's easy to defeat, it's hard to kill, and as long as it's alive, there's the possibility of revenge.
Most of Bai Li's strength is used to hide its existence, although the current fire has also caused damage and distress to it, but the smoke formed by the mountain fire is its most perfect cover, and there is no need to worry about being discovered by the newcomers soon.
Boom!
Suddenly, countless eyes exploded on the tree, and dense tiny black insects flew out.
Only this time, the number of exploding eyes accounted for at least ninety percent of all the total.
"Lacewing, you're scared, but it's useless. ”
The white smoke quickly enveloped all the black worms, and the feeling of satisfaction after devouring it made it let out a long sigh, "Don't be afraid, soon, your body will merge with me, that is, a new birth that will make you feel happy." ”
Rumble!
Suddenly, all the black insects shrouded in white smoke exploded in unison, and the power that erupted in an instant caught Bai Li off guard.
The white smoke that enveloped the area shook violently, cracking several gaps.
In the next moment, the remaining power after the explosion of countless black insects leaked out of these gaps and spread outward.
In the depths of the white smoke, a face suddenly appeared.
It turned out to be a bright woman's face, just a pair of long, bright eyes, which were projecting a light called anger.
"I see, you're trying to expose our existence. ”
"Even if you are eaten by the new kind, you don't want to merge with me?"
The hesitation was only a brief moment, and the white smoke retreated, no longer enveloping the large area, but quickly became smaller and lighter, and disappeared into the distance.
The idea of devouring the lacewings had changed, and its only thought now was to stay away as fast as possible before the newcomer found it, so that no one could touch its tracks.
Bai Li had to give up.
even regretted his hesitation just now.
It understands very well that although the breath leakage caused by the lacewing is only for a short moment, and the power that leaks out is only a trace under its cover, but if the newcomer is also like it, and is extremely sensitive to the breath of the same kind, then just by virtue of this instantaneous leakage, the other party can accurately seize the opportunity.
The next moment, it may be a strange and unknown attack coming.
If you should go, you should go, and there must not be any fluke thoughts, this is the iron law decision formed by Bai Li after knowing himself and experiencing an unknown number of crises.
More than ten miles away, the woman in red, who was standing quietly in the fire, moved slightly, and immediately opened her eyes.
For a moment, it was as if the surrounding fires had lost their color.
"Has the battle begun, I can already feel their delicious scent, really sweet. ”
The next moment, with a light smile on her face, she took a slight step forward, and her slender body suddenly disappeared in place, and when she reappeared, it was already dozens of feet away.
The raging mountain fire automatically retreated to her feet, and only the light formed by the flames reflected her red haze more and more movingly.
Rumble!
The few remaining eyes moved rapidly around the tree, eventually converging into a vertical pupil with no whites and only pitch black.
Immediately after, the vertical pupils clicked out of the shackles of the big tree and flew towards the mountain like lightning.
..............................
Gu Juan stood in the middle of a group of soldiers, watching them ignite clumps of things with extreme skill, and then continuously threw large fireballs into the mountain through the assembled stone throwers, even if the mountain fire was out of control, there was no intention of stopping.
Tengyuan finally brought those things that were not easy to carry.
But it's easy to understand when you think about it, there are a lot of soldiers and recruits who came out this time, and these instruments can also be disassembled and assembled, even if it is difficult to carry, there is no need to be the deputy general of the Zhennan battalion to do it himself, he only needs to say a few words, and naturally there will be thousands of people to implement his will.
This is the most intuitive embodiment of the power of numbers.
The forest fire was still burning violently, and if there was no heavy rain, Gu Juan thought that it would take at least ten days and a half to gradually stop the expanding fire, and if it was really completely extinguished, he didn't know how long it would take.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Sima Qianhu from afar.
This guy really dares to do it.
