Chapter 1040: Insect Army

c_t; In the middle of the night, it was Allen's turn to be on duty. (Advertisement) He sat cross-legged on a moss-covered stone, with the Red King crossed between his knees. Allen closed his eyes, and he didn't look like he was on duty at all. But in fact, his breath enveloped the entire camp. In the eyes of some alien beasts who can look directly at the source force, they will see a faint light of fire covering the camp, and sparks will suddenly appear and disappear in the fire light from time to time.

At this moment, he replaced his eyes with perception, monitoring every move around the camp. Even Sigu spread through the intricate network of tree roots underground, pushing this perceived network several hundred meters deep into the forest. The perception of the edge of the network is fuzzy, and gradually becomes clearer from the outside to the inside. As for the surroundings of the camp, any disturbance could not escape Allen's perception.

In perception, this area is very quiet, but when the moon is in the middle of the sky, a few blanks suddenly appear on the western edge. Those blanks came very abruptly, as if Alan's sensory network was bitten by something and peeled off. Allen concentrated on sensing, but those blank areas seemed to be nothingness, and nothing could be sensed.

This is not normal on the contrary, it is obvious that something blocked Allen's perception. Then, these blank areas spread, and they pushed towards the camp, like a few undercurrents in the deep sea.

Allen opened his eyes and shouted: "Be alert, enemy attack! The enemy is attacking from the west!"

Almost at the same time as he sounded the warning, a large buzz came from the forest to the west. Some soldiers immediately threw torches towards the forest to the west, and when the torches landed, they formed fire piles, illuminating a corner of the forest.

Soldiers quickly reorganized in the camp to build a line of defense. Allen stood on the stone and looked towards the forest to the west. Under the light of the fire, several black smoke suddenly shot out from among the trees. The black smoke is obviously some kind of substance that can block perception. They bypass the ancient trees as if they were spiritual, and they were still a hundred meters away from the camp. Spots of scarlet glowed in the black mist, and then bats emerged from the mist one by one.

Hundreds of bats roared and flew, like a dark cloud covering the camp.

"Use gunpowder and fire mines, spread out and throw!" Allen shouted.

Immediately, more than a dozen soldiers in the line of defense threw fire mines in different directions. The nitrous oil fire mine exploded in mid-air, during which the nitrous oil splashed, and then ignited again, forming a cloud of fire immediately. A flaming light appeared in Alan's eyes, and the color of the 7style_; fire cloud suddenly changed from light to dark, and the fire surged, instantly urging the nitrous oil completely, but the range and power jumped a few levels. [ ] Immediately, a large number of bats caught fire and fell, before landing, they were already charred.

The nitrate fire thunder is not so powerful, but Alan used the ability of the king of fire to increase the power of the flame, and burned most of the bats instantly. At this time, the roar of fiery rifles sounded from the defense line, and the lines of fire were intertwined into an aerial firepower net.

Intercept and strangle the remaining bats. But these nocturnal bats were just a prelude, and there was another strange creaking sound in the black mist, and then short but nimble figures jumped out of the black mist.

Under the firelight, a figure flashed past. The firelight illuminates its dark green shell. These little humanoid monsters are slender and less than 1.5 meters tall. There are scarlet insect compound eyes on the green head, and even the mouth looks like some kind of insect's mouthparts. These insects moved quickly and rushed in groups. The Mountain King warriors in front of the line of defense roared furiously, their shields piled up two by two, and soon a wall of shields was intertwined.

The front line of the bugman hit the shield wall, like a green wave hitting the reef, and immediately a row of bugs flew upside down, the shells of the bugs cracked or even shattered under the violent impact, and yellow-green splashes splashed out from inside. The juice is coming. The bugman stepped back a little, and then rushed forward again. At this moment, the shield wall split open, and a stick of imperial-style Yanlong rifle protruded out, aiming at the Zerg with a round of fire.

These muskets were purchased from Fat Peter in Sardinia, and the quality is guaranteed. The fat man also gave an additional batch of ammunition as a gift. Allen bought this batch of muskets to make up for the disadvantage of the insufficient number of fire rifles, but he did not expect that they would come in handy in the Howling Forest.

The Bug vanguard fell in a row, and retreated after musket fire. The Mountain King warrior pushed forward with a shield, and collided with the bugman fiercely. Allen squinted, not in a hurry to play. He observed the bugmen, these "specialties" of the Howling Forest were undoubtedly agile, but their shells were very fragile. But the mantis-like forelimbs of the insect man are extremely sharp and cannot be ignored. The armor on the Mountain King warriors couldn't withstand several cuts by them, and a hole would be torn open, which was not easy.

"Nellie!" Allen pointed in the direction of the bugman.

Nari and the other mosasaurus knights understood immediately, and the five of them dispersed, passing the mountain king warriors and rushing into the bug people. They are all strong men of the seventeenth or eighteenth rank, and this battle is like a tiger joining a herd of sheep. Especially Nai Li, the flames of her body were rising, and her aura was like the tide of the blue sea, and the wave was higher than the wave. The water in both hands condensed the sword, and the two-handed sword turned into two balls of green light in Nari's hands, immediately clearing a blank space among the bugs.

At this time, the inch fire shooter had already cleaned up the harassing bats in the air, and began to focus on attacking the invading insects. The infantry soldiers who attacked with muskets also threw away their muskets after a few rounds of shooting, and drew out their swords to bury them at close quarters. Although there are a lot of worms, they don't have any strategic awareness, they just swarm up and kill the enemy purely by virtue of their numbers. On Alan's side, there is a clear division of labor between the arms, covering each other, and there are five Mosasaurus knights from Nari as support nodes. Although the number of insects seems to be endless, the defense line of the camp is also very tough, no matter how the insects attack, they will not fall down.

Suddenly, Allen looked up into the depths of the forest. He saw two directions on the left and right, and the old trees kept falling to and fro. The earth trembled, and giant beasts were rushing towards them. Allen took a breath, and the flame marks on his body lit up. He gave full play to the ability of the king of fire, and the bonfire in the camp was so bright that it illuminated the camp like daytime. Allen raised his hand, and several pillars of fire rushed directly from the fire, and the momentum was terrifying.

The insect people were confused by the sudden fire, and then in the woods behind, several big trees spontaneously ignited without fire. The fire was so fierce that it seemed like a few huge torches were erected in an instant. The ancient tree fell down with a groan from the flames, crushing many bugmen to death, and the flames spread again, causing chaos in the rear of the bugmen. At this moment, two giant worms suddenly crashed into the flames.

They are like giant unicorns, with dark, dark shells. Even if the flames are added to the body, the shells will not be burned red, which shows how thick the shells are. A thick, T-shaped horn grew from the flat head of the giant worm. A row of worm eyes under the giant horn was shining with green light. They rushed through the flames and shoveled away the worms standing in front of them like tanks. It seemed that they were going to break through the camp's defense line in one go.

"Lola!" Allen pointed at the giant worm on the left, while he pounced on the one on the right.

Lola has activated the Call of the Wild, taking on an orc stance. Hearing the sound, she rushed forward, holding the giant sword behind her in one hand, her running posture was wild and full of tension. Laura didn't even look at the bugman, she ran straight into the enemy formation, but the inertia of sprinting and the explosive power wrapped around her kept blowing away the bugs blocking the way. In terms of momentum, it is not inferior to the giant worm on the opposite side.

The giant worm seemed to know that Laura wanted to stop him, and let out a sharp cry from its mouth. The T-shaped monster lowered its horns, shoveled down the ground, and kept plowing up the dirt and insects. When it was about to come into contact with Laura, the t-shaped horn suddenly arched upwards, trying to throw Laura away.

The animal pupils in Laura's eyes shrank sharply, and the source force roared in her body. She stepped on the ground, and the forest floor sank into a shallow pit soundlessly. Laura jumped up, and the huge sword bounced high. She pulled it with both hands, and immediately pressed down with the momentum of the mountain piercing through the air, and slashed heavily on the monster's horn.

A circle of faint ripples exploded, and the worms around Lola and the giant worm kept falling around like straw blown by the wind. There was a crackling sound from the strange horn of the giant worm, and then the insect liquid splashed everywhere, and the giant horn shattered. Laura snorted coldly, her body rotated for two weeks and fell down. The giant sword plunged heavily into the giant worm's head, and dragged along with force, the sword's edge cut through the worm's body all the way. When Lola jumped off the ground from behind the giant worm, the giant worm behind her split in two with a crack, and the left and right sides of her body fell, and the blood of the worm sprayed all over the ground.

Only then did Laura exhale, and then looked towards Allen. The battle on Allen's side was over long ago, his giant worm was shrouded in flames, and only a rough outline could be seen. There was the sound of the shell bursting in the flames, and there was a line of fire between the giant worm and the camp. In that line of fire, countless worms were killed or injured.

After the two giant worms fell, the worms began to retreat. Allen didn't intend to chase them down, so he just let them go. When the last worm figure disappeared in the depths of the forest, the great battle came to an end.

Needless to say, those bats, worms, and giant worms must be beings at the mercy of the Queen of Dread. And judging from tonight's situation, it is clear that the Queen of Fear does not welcome outsiders like them. But Allen doesn't need it to welcome, but Allen can't figure out why the Queen of Fear wanted to take Regis and the two of them away. For this answer, I'm afraid I have to ask the strange beast in person.

On the second day, the team continued to head westward. The further westward they went, the more malicious they could feel the entire forest. The creatures controlled by the Queen of Fear also repeatedly attacked the team, but they did not form an army-like scale like last night, but there were many more types. Like some snake-like monsters hiding in ancient trees, but with insect shells; or some monsters that attack suddenly from the ground, only the size of a blue ball, but emerge from spikes like hedgehogs, and then spray to injure the enemy of monsters.

And so on, and so on.

At the beginning, Allen handed it over to the soldiers to deal with, but later saw that they were struggling to deal with these creatures. In addition, these things like to engage in surprise attacks, which undoubtedly slowed down the team's advancement. Allen simply took the lead, and the Scarlet King pointed at the ground, exuding terrible heat all the way, constantly spraying fire from the trees or the ground, and either burning the creatures hiding in the dark, or forcing them out.

And so, by noon. The trees were getting thinner, and suddenly the eyes suddenly opened up, and a large swamp lake appeared in Alan's eyes.

The Queen of Dread's lair has arrived!
