"Boom."
There was a huge explosion in the dark cave, and then a pillar of orange-red fire spewed out of the cave and shot straight into the sky.
"Roar……"
The shrill beast's roar echoed in the cave, and within a few seconds, the sound was lost in the pillar of fire rising into the sky.
Once the resin of the fire oil tree in the spiritual world is ignited by fire, it will never be extinguished unless it is burned out.
"Continue, don't let the fire go out." Seeing that the fire in the cave was gradually getting smaller, Wu Xinhua knew that the resin of the kerosene tree was about to burn out, so he immediately issued a third order.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The investigators threw all the remaining porcelain bottles containing kerosene resin into the cave that was burning with blazing flames.
The flames rose, turning the dark cave into a fiery purgatory, burning all organic creatures.
"With such a big fire, it should be impossible for those rat lizards to come out." An investigator looked at the rising flames and said to his companions.
"Xue Liqing can't come out either." Another investigator whispered.
"..." Everyone fell into silence.
"boom."
The sudden sound broke the silence of the investigators, and they immediately turned around and looked behind them at the location where the sound came from.
They saw the ground not far behind them cracking, and a long head that looked like a mouse on the Blue Star emerged from the cracked ground.
"Damn it, these rat lizards actually know how to dig tunnels to get out from other places..." one investigator exclaimed.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."
There are more and more cracks on the ground, and the investigators' faces are getting more and more ugly.
"Follow me, everyone, and kill as many as possible before they all come out." After saying that, Wu Xinhua, with a solemn expression, took the lead and rushed towards the rat lizards that were crawling out of the ground not far away.
"Kill..." More than 30 investigators followed closely behind Wu Xinhua.
"Roar……"
"Pfft."
A rat lizard was struggling in the ground. Its upper body had just emerged from the ground, and its brain was pierced by a long sword with a pale golden light.
Wu Xinhua, who killed the rat lizard with one fatal blow, immediately went to the next location.
"Puff, puff, puff..."
After the investigators killed forty or fifty rat lizards in a row, the rat lizards that burrowed into the ground also learned wisely.
When they see an enemy approaching them, they immediately shrink their bodies into the ground to avoid the attack, and when the enemy leaves, they continue to burrow out.
For a moment, a game scene similar to whack-a-mole in an arcade was staged on the scene.
Two, five, ten... more and more rat lizards emerged from the ground.
Although the strength of a rat lizard that has just emerged from its shell can only be compared to that of a high-level or peak-level first-level beast, when facing an investigator with at least mid-level second-level strength, the gap between the two sides is still quite large.
.
However, they were superior in numbers. Hundreds and thousands of them gathered together and launched a continuous offensive, making the investigators more and more incompetent as they fought.
In less than 20 minutes, more than 30 investigators were injured to some extent, and some of them were seriously injured. Without the support of their companions, they might collapse at any time.
Surrounded...
"Roar……"
The swarming rat lizards surrounding the investigators roared at the prey that was about to reach their mouths... They seemed to be discussing how to distribute the food.
"Wu Xinhua, we must have held them for at least 15 minutes!" One of the investigators, whose left arm was bitten off, said with a pale smile.
"Well, we have bought so much time, those people who stayed in the mine should have been successfully transferred." Wu Xinhua responded.
"Huh...huh..." An investigator with a large piece of flesh missing from his face said breathlessly, "These damn guys are surrounding us, why don't they continue to attack? They are not discussing how to divide
Eat us!"
"It's possible." Someone responded.
The investigators stood back to back, clenched their weapons, and looked sharply at the rat lizards surrounding them.
Time passes so slowly...
Although the rat lizard only besieged the investigators for less than three minutes, it felt like a whole day had passed.
"Roar……"
The horn for dinner was sounded, and along with this beast's roar, the rat lizards surrounding the investigators launched a general attack.
"Kill, fight them..." Wu Xinhua roared.
The final battle is about to break out.
At this moment, the investigators, who were injured and with little spiritual power and physical strength left, were preparing to fight to the death with the rat lizard.
Three figures fell from the sky and crashed into the group of rat lizards that were attacking Wu Xinhua and other investigators...
"Reinforcements? They are reinforcements!!! They are the people sent by the station to rescue us..." The investigators who were preparing for a decisive battle with the rat lizards were stunned at first when they saw the figures falling from the sky, and then their faces showed ecstasy.
After landing, the three people controlled their own strength immediately. After their bodies stabilized, they immediately showed their magical powers and launched devastating attacks against those who hurt their companions.
A person activates his superpower, and his body bursts out with ring-shaped lightning, circle after circle, covering his entire body with a thick layer of plasma, making his whole body look like a huge ball lightning.
He tossed and turned among the rat lizards, kicking and punching, and each blow cleanly took away at least one rat lizard.
Not far away, a small group of rat lizards circled around, trying to get past these powerful enemies falling from the sky and attack the injured prey behind them.
But the next second, an unknown wind suddenly hit them. This wind was still shining and carrying strong pressure, stirring them into spirals in the air.
It spins hundreds of times per second, turning into a blurry afterimage.
"Roar, roar, roar...!" The rat lizard screamed in pain, being carried by the nameless wind, but its voice was pulled into a strange audio frequency by an inexplicable force field.
In the nameless wind, the rat lizards who were trapped were enduring super pressure comparable to a storm.
The third-level peak investigator using supernatural powers stood still, with the heavy clouds in the sky pressing down, and countless air currents converging in one place.
The trapped rat lizards had their bones and muscles crushed by the terrifying air pressure, and were finally blown away by a hurricane and crashed into a hill in the distance.
"boom!"
The rocks broke into pieces, splashing out countless debris and dust, which were then swept up into the sky by a wave of wind!
These rat lizards, who were preparing to make a circuitous detour, were transformed into a ball of flesh without any life breath under this supernatural attack.
In another place, there was a huge explosion.
"boom!"
A body with golden light leaped into the sky, with a rough and unreasonable attitude, jumping tens of meters, and landed heavily on the ground. The earth trembled violently, and the shock wave of the explosion shook the rat lizards within a dozen meters.
Internal bleeding.
"boom."
With a stamp of his foot, the gravel on the ground flew up. The investigator with the third level of peak strength pressed his right hand, and his telekinesis enveloped the flying gravel.
He glanced at the rat lizards on both sides, and waved his big hand vigorously, and the scattered stones shrouded in telekinesis immediately shot out in all directions.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The heads of the rat lizards that rushed forward suddenly exploded, their forelimbs were snapped, and holes as big as fists appeared in their chests. Their death conditions were different.
At the peak of the third level, these three reinforcements dropped from the sky, and they were all powerful practitioners with the strength of the third level.
One third-level peak cultivator is enough to make this group of rat lizards uncomfortable, let alone three appearing at once.
Facing a powerful enemy of this level, even if there were more than a thousand rat lizards, they were still not enough to defeat the three of them...
The three reinforcements were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, killing all the rat lizards with their livers and gallbladders broken, and they fled in all directions.
Unfortunately, it was too late. In the woods around the battlefield, more than 200 humans who had been ambushed in advance jumped out of the woods and strangled the rat lizards who had no intention of fighting anymore.
Except for some people who came to rescue from the base, most of the people who were ambushing in the forest and initiating strangulation were people from the original mine site who were preparing to be transferred.
"Kill them all, don't let any of them escape..." researcher Wang Ziqian shouted to his companions, while swinging his sword to decapitate a rat lizard.
"Roar……"
The rat lizards who had just emerged from their shells would never have imagined that they were about to have a feast, but they would be in such a desperate situation in the blink of an eye.
While running for their lives in panic, they roared low, trying to use their screams to intimidate the enemies who were chasing them to stop chasing them.
Although the ideas are good, how can humans live up to their wishes?
Regarding this kind of enemy who almost killed their companions, everyone had the same idea, that is, to kill them all and eradicate them.
…………
"Roar……"
As the last rat lizard was killed, everything settled and everything became peaceful.
"Tap tap tap..."
Medical workers carrying medical kits on their shoulders quickly entered the scene and came to the injured investigators to treat them.
Captain Zhao He Zhao, who had led people back to the station on foot to ask for help, wiped the stains on his face and came to Wu Xinhua.
"Huh...huh...Zhao He, why did it take you so long to bring our rescuers?" Wu Xinhua, who was almost exhausted, asked breathlessly.
"Sorry~ We encountered some troubles on the way back to the station, so we were delayed for a day. If we could have returned to the station a day earlier, you wouldn't have been in this situation." Zhao He said very self-blame.
"This is not your fault. You don't have to blame yourself too much." Wu Xinhua saw Zhao He's self-blame look on his face and comforted him.
"Where's Xue Liqing? Why didn't I see him?" After gathering his thoughts, Zhao He suddenly asked Wu Xinhua.
"..." When Wu Xinhua heard this, the look on his face froze.
Then he raised his hand and pointed to the cave not far away that was blackened by the fire, and said in a heavy tone, "Xue Liqing is under the cave."
"ah?"
"He took people to explore the cave before, but something happened [country novel www.yanjuexiangcun.com]. In order to protect others, he chose to stay behind..."
"This..." Zhao He looked sad. Although Wu Xinhua did not explain whether Xue Liqing still had hope of survival, it was not difficult to see from the other party's heavy expression that Xue Liqing should have died.
"Hey...is there anyone up there? Come here and give me a hand..."
Just when Wu Xinhua and Zhao He were grieving for the sacrifice of Xue Liqing, human shouts came from the cave not far away that was charred by the fire, and the sound was so familiar.
"Tap tap tap..."
Wu Xinhua, Zhao He and some people near the cave quickly ran towards the cave.
After a while, a figure covered in blood crawled out of the cave with the help of everyone.
"Xue Liqing!!!" Looking at the man coming out of the cave, people who knew him shouted in unison.
"Huh..." Xue Liqing was lying on the ground, looking at everyone's concerned expressions, and he joked, "Let me take a breath of fresh air, and you guys should stop surrounding me."
Everyone took it seriously and immediately dispersed, leaving a spacious space for Xue Liqing.
"Huh...huh..." Xue Liqing first took a few deep breaths of fresh air, then looked at Wu Xinhua and others, telling them how he escaped death in the cave...
More than half an hour ago, Xue Liqing and his party were chased by a group of rat lizards that emerged from their shells.
Xue Liqing, who took the initiative to stay behind to cover Wang Ziqian's departure, first used a spiritual weapon that could create a strong light, causing the light-hating rat lizards to become chaotic.
Then he stepped forward and slashed, killing several rat lizards in a row. After successfully gaining aggro, he ran towards a branch in the underground passage.
Although Xue Liqing's individual strength far exceeded those of the rat lizards, he was outnumbered and soon he was exhausted and forced to a point of no return.
"Then what?" Everyone was a little anxious when they heard Xue Liqing briefly describe the most dangerous place and stopped.
Seeing everyone's eager faces, Xue Liqing smiled awkwardly and said, "Then... then I have no other choice but to make a last attempt..."
"What did you try?" Wu Xinhua asked curiously.
"I..." Xue Liqing hesitated for a moment, and then said, "My girlfriend is a researcher at the Psychic Research Institute. Before I came to the spirit world, she gave me something she had just developed for self-defense."
"You didn't use that thing on yourself, did you?" Wu Xinhua, as Xue Liqing's deputy, naturally knew what the thing Xue Liqing's girlfriend gave him for self-defense.
"You two, stop being so pretentious and tell us quickly what it is that allowed Xue Liqing to survive in that situation surrounded by beasts," Zhao He said.
"Extremely smelly spray." Xue Li said concisely and concisely to the curious crowd.
"What? What is that?" Everyone was stunned for a moment.
"That's the literal meaning. This should be easy to understand!" Xue Liqing said helplessly.
