Chapter Nine
Neglecting the super giant locust that had just jumped over his head, Chu Zhengxiong and Xiao Jun fired at the same time again. The power of military shotguns should not be underestimated. The fan-shaped firepower net swept countless giant locusts that had jumped halfway down one after another.
The automatic rifle in Chu Zhengxiong's hand was not idle either. He sprayed a fierce tongue of flames at the muzzle, and the firing rate was increased to the extreme. Facing countless giant locusts that were swarming in, Chu Zhengxiong maintained an absolutely calm state of ice and snow, and still insisted on the principle of precision of one shot, without being controlled by his personal emotions at all.
The super giant locust that had jumped over the heads of the two people before hit the ground and happened to stop in front of Mu Qingshan. Mu Qingshan was opening the road with a hatchet in his hand. Suddenly he bumped into such a big guy. He was shocked and couldn't help but be stunned.
This calf-like locust was quite close to Mu Qingshan. Mu Qingshan even saw his shrinking figure from the guy's spherical compound's eyes. With this sudden stop, Ying Qiaoer behind him was unable to close and directly stuck to Mu Qingshan's back.
A warm and fragrant female body came up, Mu Qingshan was shocked, and the fear that had just emerged in his heart disappeared, and then aroused a passionate ambition to protect the people behind him.
Mu Qingshan shouted loudly, swung his hatchet and slashed his head at the giant locust.
The hatchet hit the head of the giant locust, and only penetrated one-third of it and could not enter. Mu Qingshan's arm was also echoed by the recoil force.
The top of the giant locust's head was extremely hard, and the part that was hit by Mu Qingshan had already become horny. Just like armor, even if Mu Qingshan's arm strength was far superior to that level, he could only cut into this level. If an ordinary person came like this, he would probably not be able to cut into it.
The giant locust was in great pain, and suddenly supported its hind legs, and its height suddenly exceeded Mu Qingshan. It stared at Mu Qingshan with a hatchet on its head.
Ying Qiaoer looked up at the monster worm and almost fainted. She felt sore and weak all over and had no strength left.
Mu Qingshan was sweating from the front of his chest to his back, but he didn't dare to give in because he knew that behind him was Ying Qiaoer and Old Man Bai. How could he put the old man and the girl in danger?
One second, two seconds, three seconds passed, and the giant locust just stared at Mu Qingshan in front of him. The two antenna-like tentacles were raised high and swung back and forth, but there was no attack as imagined. Could this giant locust be myopic?
Mu Qingshan just forced himself to suppress his thoughts of running away. Mr. Bai, behind him, finally reacted.
Mr. Bai shouted: "Xiao Jun, lend your knife to use it!"
Xiao Jun had no time to turn around in his busy schedule, but just reached out and pulled out the knife and threw it to the place behind him. The sharp machete made a brilliant sword flower in the air. He seemed to be not worried that Mr. Bai would not be able to catch the machete.
Sure enough, Mr. Bai didn't even look at it, and he grabbed the machete. While exerting force under his feet, the machete in his hand turned into a sharp sword light and headed straight for the giant locust sideways.
Mu Qingshan felt a flower in front of him, and a white shadow had already swept past him. A splash of sword lights passed by the giant locust blocking the road. Before Mu Qingshan could react, Mr. Bai had already rushed out ten steps away, his movements as beautiful as flowing water.
The giant locust that blocked the road suddenly tilted, lost its balance, and fell down toward its body.
At this time, Mu Qingshan discovered that just now Mr. Bai and the giant locust had just passed by, and had cut off all the joints on the left side of the giant locust with one knife. Although the knife could not see the force, the angle was extremely accurate. The light of the knife was soaked in the joints of each leg of the giant locust like flowing water, like a blister, and entered the gap with no thickness.
Mu Qingshan opened his mouth wide, feeling that it was extremely magical, but he couldn't tell a truth.
Mr. Bai stopped ten meters away. Seeing that the fool didn't follow him, he roared, "Come here quickly with Qiao'er on his back, I'll open the way!" After that, he waved his knife and slashed hard. The straw poles on both sides fell to both sides like bamboo. Mr. Bai was gone all the way. The old man's speed of opening the way was scary.
Mu Qingshan then came to his senses and realized that the sound of gunfire and insect wings behind him were endless. He quickly picked up Ying Qiaoer, who was already weak all over, and strode towards the grass path that Mr. Bai had opened.
Chu Zhengxiong and Xiao Jun were fighting and retreating behind him. Fortunately, although these insects were fierce, they rarely attacked from all directions, and most of them were concentrated directly behind them. Perhaps because of the habits of the insects, and the grass poles around them were too dense, it probably caused the insects to be unable to take off with the force, so the attacks were mostly concentrated behind the two.
With their excellent guns and bullets, they could barely correspond to their own good combat qualities. However, if this continues, these giant locusts will be wiped out and the ammunition will be consumed sooner or later. Now they have only walked one-third of the journey, and it is still hard to say what they will encounter next, so the situation is not optimistic at this time. Both of them have inexplicably felt a little heavy in their hearts, but the movements in their hands are not relaxed at all.
Xiao Jun had a frustrated face and his hand was loading ammunition very fast. Every time a military shotgun erupted, a large number of insect corpses would be raised. Chu Zhengxiong's automatic rifle specifically shot out those worms who had luckily passed through the shotgun attack range. Both of them subconsciously accelerated their retreat.
Suddenly, I heard a long roar from behind, and the roar was filled with joy and pride. Without looking back, Xiao Jun and Chu Zhengxiong knew that it must be Mr. Bai who found the exit of Caohu.
Xiao Jun and Chu Zhengxiong exchanged glances. Chu Zhengxiong put away his rifle, turned around and ran backwards. Xiao Jun pulled the trigger one after another, fired all the bullets in the gun chamber in one breath, then took out a black object from the back waist, sent it to his mouth, opened his mouth and bit off the safety bolt, and vigorously threw out the high-explosive incendiary bomb in his hand.
With a loud bang, a strong air wave rolled up above Caohu Lake. A fire suddenly ignited at the landing point of the high-explosive incendiary bomb, and the giant locust in the flames were burned to a crackle.
Xiao Jun had long thought of using fire to attack, but he had been reluctant to take action because the way out in Caohu Lake had not been found yet. If a fire ignited this strange place full of weeds, it would be no joke to trap his own people.
Looking back, sure enough, the passage behind him extended hundreds of meters away. At the end of the road, a clear river was clearly visible. Xiao Jun tightened his backpack and ran towards the river bank.
The five people met at the end of Caohu Lake one after another. The fire caused by the high-explosion incendiary bomb in Caohu Lake was getting bigger and bigger, almost becoming a prairie fire. Flashes of heat waves rushed towards us, and the people standing by the river looked at the majestic fire not far away, and their hearts were filled with thrilling.
Xiao Jun and Chu Zhengxiong pulled out the inflatable raft from their backpack and started inflating it on the side of the river. Mr. Bai took out the map and confirmed that everyone's current road was not deviated. The map showed this river. As long as you go down the river, you should be able to reach the next target point.
Ying Qiaoer couldn't bear to see the giant locusts in the fire that were burned to the point of burning. What was even more regretful was that this lush grass forest was destroyed.
Mu Qingshan secretly looked at Ying Qiaoer's pale face. He could understand what Ying Qiaoer was thinking now, but he just didn't know what to say to comfort her.
Chu Zhengxiong got the raft and walked slowly to Ying Qiaoer, sighing softly with regret on his face: "The grass on Liliyuan is withering and flourishing every year. Qiaoer, you don't have to be too sad. At this time next year, this grass forest will grow greener. Do you believe me?"
Ying Qiaoer nodded thoughtfully, looking like she was out of strength, leaning gently in Chu Zhengxiong's arms.
Mu Qingshan opened his mouth slightly, knowing that Chu Zhengxiong could not say these words no matter what. For a moment, he had to lower his head sadly.
The five people were divided into two groups, Mr. Bai and Xiao Jun, and got on one of the rafts. Chu Zhengxiong supported Ying Qiaoer and Mu Qingshan to board the other rafts.
The two rafts had just left the shore and saw countless giant locusts pounced into the river. Xiao Jun was shocked and picked up the shotgun. Just as he was about to fire, Mr. Bai reached out to stop him and said lightly: "Wait a minute, these insects don't seem to be coming for us."
Sure enough, the bodies of these giant locusts that jumped into the river were swarming towards the shore as soon as they touched the river water. Those who had been injured or smaller in size were swept away by the river water or sank to the bottom of the river. A few giant locusts that could climb to the shore rushed towards the position where the fire was spreading without hesitation.
At this time, the few people on the kayak realized that the target of these giant locusts was indeed not their own, but to use the river water to extinguish the fire, just because this grass forest is the place where they reproduce and live. No matter how evil these insects are, their crazy behavior is touching.
Countless giant locusts of all sizes flew into the river water, and only five or six could get ashore. In a short while, a considerable number of insect corpses floated on the clear river surface. There was only one kind of giant locusts who had finally climbed ashore, which was to throw themselves into the fire. After exhaustion, they could only lie quietly in the fire and bear the scorching of the tongue of fire.
