Chapter 367: The Situation After Survival from Despair (Two Chapters in One)
The majestic voice suddenly sounded over the battlefield, making everyone on the battlefield stunned for a moment, and everyone looked up. Look.
I saw a tall, middle-aged man wearing black clothes and a knife hanging from his waist, standing in mid-air.
"Roar..."
The giant centipede beast roared at the middle-aged man with a knife hanging on his waist, seeming to threaten the sudden appearance of the human practitioner. Get out of here and stop meddling in other people's business.
"Hmph, you don't know how to live or die." The middle-aged man with a knife hanging on his waist snorted coldly, and then dived down. He was so fast that he arrived in front of the giant centipede beast in the blink of an eye.
"Bang."
A flying kick hit the giant centipede beast's head, knocking it backwards and hitting the ground with a roar.
"That is a strange beast that is about to break through to the second level peak! It was kicked down?!!!" One of the guards shouted in surprise.
"Hahaha... we are saved." The bald robber Zhen suddenly laughed.
The guards and robbers who were already in despair were retreating after being killed by the alienated giant centipede.
When they saw this middle-aged man suddenly appearing with a knife hanging from his waist, kicking down the most terrifying and undefeatable beast, their dull eyes exploded in an instant. Intense brilliance.
"Roar..."
I was kicked by a middle-aged man with a knife hanging on his waist, and the giant centipede beast hit the ground hard, feeling that my head was about to be kicked. Exploded.
It let out a roar of pain, then quickly got up from the ground, commanding the big black centipedes that he had mutated using supernatural powers to attack the middle-aged man with a knife hanging from his waist.
The alienated giant centipede, which surrounded the caravan group and the bandit gang, immediately changed its direction after receiving the order and rushed towards the middle-aged man with a knife hanging on his waist.
Facing the alienated centipedes that came like an endless wave, the expression of the middle-aged man with a knife hanging from his waist did not change at all.
He reached out and pulled out the sword from his waist, and powerful spiritual energy fluctuations emanated from his body, shocking everyone present.
"Level 3...?!!!" The guard captain and the bandit leader exclaimed in surprise the moment they sensed the psychic energy fluctuations emanating from the middle-aged man with a knife hanging from his waist.
After hearing the exclamations of the guard captain and the bandit leader, the non-sentient personnel opened their eyes wide and looked at the middle-aged man holding a long knife in shock.
Although everyone speculated based on the situation that the middle-aged man with a sword hanging from his waist was standing in mid-air just now, and could knock down with one kick, and was about to break through to the second-level peak alien beast.
We knew that he was most likely a powerful practitioner with third-level cultivation, but when it was actually confirmed that he was a third-level practitioner, everyone was inevitably shocked.
After all, third-level practitioners are relatively rare. This is the first time for everyone present to see such a powerful practitioner.
At the same time, everyone had already felt that they would definitely die today. Now that such a powerful practitioner entered the scene, a feeling of surprise of being saved filled their hearts.
"Roar..."
When the giant centipede beast saw its younger brothers, it was frightened by the extremely powerful spiritual energy fluctuations emitted by the middle-aged man with a knife hanging on his waist. It immediately urged its younger brothers to continue the attack.
At the same time, this strange beast was filled with fear and slowly moved back, as if it was about to turn around and run away.
When you know that the enemy that suddenly appears in front of you is such a powerful practitioner and you know that you can't defeat the opponent, running away is definitely the first choice. This is not shameful.
"Haha..." The middle-aged man with a knife hanging on his waist looked at the giant centipede beast that kept retreating, looking for opportunities to escape, and he sneered.
Mobilize the spiritual energy in the Dantian and inject it into the spiritual weapon long knife in your hand. The pale golden spiritual light blooms on the sharp edge of the spiritual weapon long knife.
"Roar..." The giant centipede beast saw the middle-aged man with a knife hanging on his waist. The long sword held in his hand glowed with light golden light, and the alarm bell in his heart rang loudly, reminding it to run away quickly.
So it immediately roared and asked its younger brothers to quickly attack the middle-aged man with a knife hanging on his waist.
It wants to use its younger brother to launch an attack so that the other party has no time to take care of itself, so that it can take advantage of the chaos and escape.
As for the thoughts of the giant centipede beast, the middle-aged man with rich fighting experience and a knife hanging on his waist naturally knew very well. When the opponent roared crazily, he urged his younger brother to launch an attack. , he took the lead in launching the attack.
“Bang.”
When his feet hit the ground, pits appeared on the flat ground, and his figure disappeared instantly.
Everyone who stared closely at the middle-aged man with a knife hanging on his waist felt their eyes blurred when they saw him first disappear, and then instantly appear behind the giant centipede beast.
Immediately afterwards, everyone saw the middle-aged man with a sword hanging on his waist. The light of the spiritual weapon long sword blooming with light golden light in his hand dissipated, and he took back the long spiritual weapon sword. In the scabbard.
"Isn't the alien beast not dead yet? Why did he put away his weapon?"
Just when doubts arose in everyone's mind, they saw the ferocious and majestic giant centipede. The alien beast remained motionless, and then with a click, its body split from the middle and split into two.
"Bang."
The corpse of the giant centipede beast fell to the ground with a crash. You can see that the incision is very smooth, and the thick and smelly liquid is flowing everywhere.
"Zhizhizhi..."
When the alienated big black centipedes saw their boss being killed, they immediately let out a scream, and then their bodies began to change back to their original appearance.
It is normal for this situation to occur. After all, the giant centipede beasts that were transformed using supernatural powers are already dead, and the supernatural effects applied to them will naturally be ineffective.
"Die like that? That is a strange beast that is about to break through to the second level peak!!!" Everyone murmured to themselves in shock.
"Tap, step, step..."
Not a few seconds after the death of the giant centipede beast, a burst of dense footsteps came from a distance, and soon, three hundred Several heavily armed soldiers appeared in front of everyone.
Seeing that they are wearing uniform armor, it can be seen at a glance that these fully armed soldiers are from Dongwu City and are well-trained regular troops.
"Lord Commander, you are flying too fast, can't you wait for us?" The soldier captain who led the team came to his superior and said helplessly.
Not long ago, the soldiers received an order to follow Commander Liu to a valley around Bibo Lake to eliminate the centipede group.
After everyone left the city, they marched for more than ten kilometers. As the commander, Commander Liu felt that the soldiers were marching too slowly, so he took the lead to Bibo Lake, saying that he wanted to check out the situation first.
Seeing Liu Tong flying away one step ahead, what else could the soldier captain do? He could only call on his brothers to speed up the march and rush to the destination.
They were quite tired after riding fast and furiously all the way.
Facing his helpless subordinates, Liu Yuancheng just smiled. Then he looked back at the big black centipede that had lost its superpower effect and returned to its original appearance, and said to the soldier captain.
"I have killed the culprit, and I will leave the rest to you. I have other things to do, so I will go back first."
"Yes, Commander Liu, don't worry! The remaining guys , we will take care of it..." the soldier captain said. Then, everyone present saw Liu Yuancheng flying into the sky, flying towards the dark night in the distance, and disappeared after a while.
"Hey, why did he leave? There are so many big black centipedes here that have not been dealt with!" Some people shouted when they saw Liu Yuancheng leaving.
But soon, their worries disappeared, because the heavily armed soldiers who stayed at the scene immediately wiped out the centipede groups present after Liu Yuancheng left.
Through daily training, these soldiers, who were fully armed and had various abilities, cooperated with each other tacitly to clear out the centipede groups present. The efficiency was astonishing. Everywhere they passed, no big black centipede was killed.
Logically speaking, when these heavily armed soldiers from Dongwu City began to clear out the centipede groups at the scene.
The group of people who were surrounded by centipedes before and were almost in dire straits should cooperate with the soldiers to eliminate the centipedes, but at this moment, they stood motionless.
If you observe carefully, you will find that the two parties, who originally put aside their previous suspicions and jointly defended the enemy, are now staring at each other closely, looking completely on guard.
It makes sense to think that it would turn out like this. Previously, when faced with the threat of death, everyone could put aside their past grudges and fight against the enemy together. Now that the danger has been lifted, sharp conflicts are immediately in front of us.
"Brother, what should we do now?" the bald bandit asked the bandit leader beside him.
"What else can we do? We have to leave here before the soldiers in Dongwu City finish clearing out the centipede swarm, otherwise we will not be able to escape by the time they finish what they are doing." The robber The leader said in a serious tone.
The fight just now consumed more than half of his physical strength and spiritual energy. His younger brothers were in worse condition than him.
In its heyday, their gang of robbers was no match for the heavily armed soldiers of Dongwu City, let alone in their current bad state.
However, although they have to escape before the soldiers in Dongwu City clear out the centipede group, there is a prerequisite, that is, the caravan guards in front of them will not stop them.
"Captain, those bandits seem to be planning to escape while the soldiers in Dongwu City have no time to deal with them..." A guard with some injuries on his left arm said softly.
Hearing this, the guard captain nodded slightly, and then stared at the bandit leader intently.
"Hey, at least we were fighting side by side just now. When we leave later, please don't pester us, okay?" the bandit leader asked the silent guard captain.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes fell on the guard captain. As long as he nodded and agreed, the bandit gang could leave safely. Otherwise, there would be another fight.
Faced with the bandit leader's request, the guard captain was silent for a few seconds, and then shook his head.
Seeing the guard captain's reaction, the bandit leader and his younger brother's expressions darkened.
"If we hadn't helped you resist the attack of those centipedes just now, you would have been completely ruined." said the bandit leader.
"In that case, if you don't fight off those centipedes together, you will all die together, so why don't you help us?" the guard captain shot back.
"Made..." The bandit leader cursed when he saw that the guard captain was determined not to let them leave safely.
"Brother, we have to hurry up. Those soldiers are clearing out the centipede swarm so fast. If we go on for a while, we will really have no chance to escape."
The bald bandit said anxiously as he looked at the soldiers who were divided into groups in the distance and killed the centipede group.
The bandit leader also knew that it was not good to waste any more time at this time, and he did not care that he would be entangled by the guards when he retreated.
He immediately gave the order to retreat to the injured and tired younger brothers, "Brothers, let's go..."
"Don't let these bandits escape." The guard captain looked at When a gang of robbers wants to escape, they have to lead people to catch up with them and entangle them.
But at this moment, their employer spoke up and shouted to the guards who were about to chase and rob the gang.
"Captain Wang, forget it! There are centipedes scurrying around now. If you chase those robbers, our lives may be in danger."
A group of guards who were preparing to chase the escaping gang of robbers. , upon hearing the call from the caravan manager, they all stopped.
As a caravan escort, protecting the lives of the employer and his team is the top priority.
Just as the caravan owner said, if they chased the escaping bandit gang, the employer and his party might be in danger of their lives, so they immediately gave up the idea of chasing the bandit gang and stayed in place to guard.
Without the entanglement of the guards, the bandit gang escaped smoothly.
Although they successfully escaped, the robbery also suffered heavy losses, losing almost half of the members. They will need to rest and recuperate for a while.
It took some time, except for a few big black centipedes that escaped, most of them were killed by the soldiers of Dongwu City.
There was a thick and smelly liquid flowing on the ground at the scene. If the wind hadn't suddenly picked up and blown away the unpleasant smell, the humans still staying at the scene would not have been able to stay there for a moment.
After clearing out this huge group of centipedes, which numbered more than 10,000, the soldiers' mission was completed. Next, they had to return to Dongwu City.
At this time, the caravan manager and the guard captain came to the soldier captain who was about to return to Dongwu City.
"Are you a caravan preparing to go to Dongwu City?" the soldier captain asked.
"Yes, we encountered this disaster tonight. Fortunately, the adults arrived in time and we were able to survive.
This is a little thought of mine. I hope you will not refuse." The caravan manager presented a small linen bag with both hands.
After the soldier captain took it, he opened it and took a look. His eyes suddenly lit up because there was a wad of cash in the linen pouch.
"Shopkeeper Wu, you're welcome, this is what we should do..." The soldier captain accepted the small kindness and said with a smile.
The caravan manager saw the soldier captain accepting his benefits, and then he quickly made a small request.
"Sir, could it be convenient for us to return to Dongwu City with you?"
"Everyone, please drop in and go back together. Of course it's okay. You guys need to pack up quickly and we'll start. Return..." The soldier captain, who had received the benefit, naturally would not refuse this small request.
The caravan manager and the guard captain were very happy after receiving the permission, and then they immediately called on their companions to organize the caravan.
Moving in the wild at night is very dangerous for caravans if they are attacked by strange animals.
But at this time, it would be another matter to have a fully armed and combat-experienced military counterpart.
After waiting for a while, the caravan group was organized and then started to follow the returning Dongwucheng soldiers.
After everyone left the battlefield, the battlefield under the moonlight was completely silent, but this situation did not last long.
Because there are scavengers, they found this place by smell and started their gluttonous feast.
