Chapter 185 Surrounded and Besieged
The sky was already shrouded in darkness, and the atmosphere was filled with thick smoke that choked on dragons. The standing scorpions had stayed in the pyramid for quite a long time, and they still hadn't made any movement.
Are they all choked to death?
This is probably the question that every emerald dragon has been thinking about... Are they dead? No emerald dragon tried to go in and take a look, and Black Pepper didn't order the emerald dragon to go in and investigate.
Because they are used to sleeping at night, many emerald dragons have already begun to rest on the spot, only those at the entrance of the cave are still maintaining the movement of fanning smoke in.
"Okay, you can stop!" Suddenly Heijiao shouted to the bottom: "Stop fanning, come a few dragons to block the entrance of the cave!"
"Gah!" The emerald dragons stopped immediately, they ran to move some stones, and blocked the cave on the inclined wall of the pyramid, and they also specially made some mud to block the gap, as if they were afraid It looks like smoke will leak out.
"Get out of the way below!" With a loud noise, Black Pepper rode the Yalong and landed on the grass, but it didn't get off the Yalong's back, but stayed on the Yalong's back and shouted: "Now You can rest, but you need someone in charge of the night watch!"
Are you going to sleep here without making sure the enemy is dead or not? This idea is really strange... Lin saw that after Black Pepper ordered a few regular Jade Dragons to take turns as guards, it lay down on it to rest, and Yalong also lay down on the ground and began to sleep.
Their sleeping time is very accurate, which is also one of the characteristics of emerald dragons, but they don't have to sleep during the war.
Generally, sleep is to rejuvenate the brain. If you don't sleep for a long time, you may die. But it is not a problem to stay up for a long time without sleep for a long time.
Lin found out. The emerald dragons of the entire army are concentrated on this grass with the pyramid as the center. They don't seem to want to stay in the jungle. Emerald dragons are more afraid of the dark, but because there are too many of them, some of them stay in the jungle.
That being the case... let's wait for the daytime to talk about it. Although Lin also wants to see if the standing scorpions are dead or not, it should be more interesting to watch when the time comes...
While the emerald dragons were resting, Lin paid attention to the matter of catching ground bombs before.
The producer of ground bombworms - that stone with many holes, Lin still hasn't found anything to feed it so far. Because there is still a lot of energy stored in its body, but about a kilometer away, Lin found another piece of the same thing, which has very little energy left. If you continue to observe, you should be able to see it soon. Come to feed creature...
time,
It passed quickly.
When the sun illuminated the earth, it also illuminated the figures of the emerald dragons sleeping on the grass. Some of them had already woken up, but most of them were still lying on the ground and continued to sleep.
Lin felt that this war seemed to be too stressless. This may have something to do with their first war, but the previous few times they fought around Liscorpion. Many victories make them feel no sense of crisis. If they encounter a considerable number of opponents... then maybe they will be in trouble...
However, maybe Black Pepper has another idea. It wants to create as many opportunities for Liscorpion to attack as possible, so as to judge Liscorpion's combat style. There are only so few.
"Gah-!"
Just as Lin was thinking, there was a scream in the jungle, and all the emerald dragons who were still in a daze were awakened by this sound, including Black Pepper.
"What happened?" Black Pepper looked towards the direction of the jungle and shouted: "What's wrong there? Why is there no night watch report..."
"Gah!!!" Before it finished speaking, there was another tragic cry in the jungle, as if many emerald dragons were killed at this moment...
"Those in the jungle, respond quickly!" Black Pepper yelled, but after the previous screams, the jungle became quiet in an instant, and there was no sound to respond to Black Pepper...
There should be quite a lot of emerald dragons in the jungle, have they been killed? This should be impossible. No matter what kind of sneak attack, it is impossible to kill a large number of emerald dragons staying in the jungle, but why is there no response?
"Gah..." At this moment, Black Pepper saw some bloody emerald dragons coming out from the edge of the jungle, but they fell to the ground before taking a few steps...
The emerald dragons in the grass looked at this scene in horror, and they began to retreat continuously, trying to stay away from the jungle.
Black Pepper didn't have time to hesitate, it immediately shouted: "Prepare to defend! Move closer to the center!"
Under Black Pepper's command, the emerald dragons became less flustered, and all the emerald dragons immediately moved closer to the pyramid, and the emerald dragons at the edge of the jungle picked up their shields and spears and pointed at the jungle and retreated slowly.
At this moment, some black figures appeared in the bushes of the jungle...
No, this is more than 'some'. Between the trunks and above the trees, there are standing scorpions everywhere. Their number is so large that they completely surround the pyramid and the emerald dragons on the surrounding grass. Inside.
Could it be that they killed all the emerald dragons in the jungle? This seems unlikely, no matter how many of them there are, it would be difficult to kill them all in such a short period of time... Lin thought that something must have happened in the jungle.
Seeing such a large number of standing scorpions, the emerald dragons had completely lost their previous excitement. Their hands holding the weapons were trembling, and their legs were involuntarily retreating until they squeezed against their companions and could no longer retreat.
That's how it was. Seeing this scene now, Lin already understood that the small number of standing scorpions in this pyramid fought and fled before just to delay time and wait for the arrival of reinforcements? Now the army of standing scorpions in the jungle is what they are waiting for, but those standing scorpions in the pyramid may have died to see this batch of reinforcements.
"Don't panic! Hold on tight!" Seeing this scene, Black Pepper also had a lot of fear, but it still gave the order calmly: "Archer! Climb to the building! Other emerald dragons, hold on with all your strength!" Here! Stab hard with spears! Block hard with shields! Don't let them attack! The king will lead an army to rescue us!"
The emerald dragons who were terrified at first regained their morale when they heard 'the king's army'. Their hands and feet no longer trembled, and some emerald dragons even cheered.
Many emerald dragons with bows and arrows climbed to the pyramid, because none of the provisional army knew how to use bows and arrows. These emerald dragons with bows and arrows were all regular soldiers here, and their number was less than a hundred.
When the archers climbed up the pyramid, the standing scorpions in the jungle also began to move, and they made a sound of "呲呲" together. Under this sound, all the standing scorpions began to lower their bodies and made a gesture. Ready to attack...
"Bah!" Accompanied by a sudden scream, the standing scorpions rushed out of the jungle!
Seeing this, the emerald dragons on the outermost edge also raised their spears and shields, ready to defend with all their strength!
At this moment, the troops of the two sides collided together, and the sound of weapons colliding resounded throughout the sky, but although the two sides seemed to be in equal numbers, the outer layer of the emerald dragon's defense was like fragile rotten wood, and was instantly defeated by the standing scorpion. Beat the crash.
Countless standing scorpions waved their spears. They could easily smash their wooden shields and pierce the body of the emerald dragon. The moment they hit, they tore apart the outer layer of defense of the emerald dragon...
Seeing this scene, the emerald dragons behind couldn't help but retreat, but the crazy standing scorpions would not stop. They were like a barbed wall composed of armor, slowly squeezing the group of emerald dragons in the center of the pyramid.
"Shoot!" Under the command of Black Pepper, the emerald dragons on the pyramid began to draw their bows and shoot arrows. A large number of arrows shot at the standing scorpion rushing in all directions, and some arrows suddenly penetrated the standing scorpion's head armor. But some were bounced off by the standing scorpion's armor, and this small amount of bows and arrows could hardly cause any damage to the standing scorpion army. However, every second, a large number of emerald dragons died under the standing scorpion's spear.
In the case of equal numbers, the disadvantages of the emerald dragons' equipment are fully revealed. Some emerald dragons have already started to flee in panic, but this place is completely surrounded, where can it escape?
Black Pepper watched the Emerald Dragon's troops being constantly squeezed by the standing scorpion. It seemed that it had made up its mind. It slammed the sub-dragon under it, and the sub-dragon immediately spread its wings and flew into the sky.
Black pepper looked at the battlefield below in the air, then it pulled the sub-dragon's head and flew into the distance.
After seeing this scene, some emerald dragons below immediately shouted: "It abandoned us! It's over!"
Accompanied by Black Pepper's 'escape', all the emerald dragons became even more panicked. They no longer had the will to fight, and they all squeezed towards the pyramid, trying to climb to the top of the pyramid.
Even though they're smart enough to understand that it doesn't make any sense, they just want to live longer, even if it's just a few seconds.
However, the emerald dragons of the regular soldiers on the pyramid are still shooting hard. It seems that they are not affected by the current situation at all. Lin can feel the fear from their thoughts, but they can still maintain a stable mood.
Sure enough, those who have been trained are different.
Lin's spy is now on the pyramid, outside the previously blocked hole, at this time Lin took a stone from above and shouted to the surroundings: "Everyone hide in here!"
The surrounding emerald dragons seem to have reacted immediately, they rushed over frantically to dig out all the blocked stones, and then squeezed into the pyramid... (to be continued...)
