At dawn, the grain transport team finally arrived at the Acropolis, closed the city gate tightly, and rested quietly in the city with the help of the fortifications of the city wall.
The principle of resting during the day is to not make any noise and not attract the attention of passing insects.
The walls of the Acropolis are not nearly as tall and strong as those of the Star City. If an army of insects really appeared and targeted this place, it would be impossible to defend it with only these two thousand people! Therefore, the main function of the city wall is not actually defense.
Instead, it blocks sight and sound insulation so that bugs don’t notice anyone here and think it is still the empty city it once was!
People rested quietly in the Acropolis. After a night of rapid march, they were almost paralyzed by exhaustion and basically fell down. For a while, except for the snoring one after another, no sound could be heard in the city.
Dugu Lan slept until the afternoon, took a deep breath, stretched out, and walked out of the house. She saw her brother Dugu Chen, shirtless, practicing his sword in the open space.
At this moment, the muscles all over his body were knotted, the veins were bulging, his skin was purple, and his eyes and temples were bulging, like a man-eating monster!
"Brother, when did you wake up?" Dugulan walked up and said softly.
Seeing his sister coming, Dugu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his whole body. The muscles and joints on his body made a crackling sound and soon deflated, and his skin color returned to normal.
"About half an hour..." Duguchen said with a smile, and took a sweat towel to wipe his body: "Everyone is still awake, so I will move around by myself! I haven't encountered any bugs in the past few days, and I haven't wielded my knife much.
I feel a little uncomfortable."
"I just saw your posture, has Beng Jin improved again?" Dugulan said with a smile: "I see your current ability, brother, with the sword in your hand, you may not lose against the Purple Gold War Insect!"
"It's better not to take such a risk!" Dugu Chen shook his head: "I still have self-awareness! Although my Dugu family's Bengjin Kung Fu can greatly increase strength by changing the body shape, the body's endurance is still limited.
If I can't kill the enemy quickly and delay for a long time, I'm afraid I will collapse first!"
"Isn't Bengjin all like this?" Dugu Lan pouted and said: "That Feng Xi's Feng family's Kung Fu is not as powerful as ours, and it only lasts a while longer than our Dugu family's Kung Fu. The last time we competed, it took
It’s not that she deliberately dragged me around and pushed me to the limit, the result might not be the same!"
Duguchen smiled and shook his head: "You may not be who you are now, but you were definitely no match for Feng Xi back then!"
"Why?!" Dugulan said dissatisfied.
"The Feng family's Kung Fu has the ultimate move of disintegration!" Dugu shook his head and said, "The Feng family's Kung Fu, except for its slightly stronger endurance, cannot compare to my Dugu family's Kung Fu in terms of strength and explosive power.
Why are they called the same as us? Just relying on the final killer move, if they initiate disintegration, their physical strength will be raised to an inhuman level. At the same time, their lives will be greatly overdrawn. Overuse may even make their bodies burn.
For ashes!”
"Will it still be like this?" Dugulan asked in surprise.
"This is what my father told me!" Dugu Chen said with a smile: "Years ago, my father was just like you now. He was very brave and fierce. He was dissatisfied with the name of the Feng family. He once approached the head of the Feng family at that time, that is, Feng Xi.
My grandpa competed in martial arts. In the end, the old man really lost to his father and handed over the title of No. 1 in the world..."
"I've heard about this!" Dugulan said, "That's why I don't accept that Feng Xi! Even his General Feng is no match for my father!"
"But later, when the Zerg attacked, my father also went north to fight against the Zerg. I was fortunate to fight side by side with General Feng again. That time, in order to fight against the aliens and cover the retreat of the people, General Feng activated the disintegration, armed with an iron gun, and killed on the spot.
Killed several purple gold war insects! Finally, they burned out their lives and turned into ashes, scattered on the battlefield..."
"It was this scene that infected my father, and he fought tooth and nail against the Zerg on the battlefield in the south of the Yangtze River..." At this point, Duguchen's eyes showed sadness.
"Is there such a thing?" Dugulan's expression showed fascination. She looked up at the sky, seeming to be remembering her father and the old General Feng...
But suddenly, her eyes changed from nostalgia to horror!
Because she saw six flying insects flying over the Acropolis!
"Brother..." Dugu Lan pulled Dugu Chen. Dugu Chen looked up and saw this scene. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. He just hoped that these insects would fly by silently and didn't notice the situation in the fortress!
From the looks of it, the bugs didn't seem to notice anything unusual, they were just passing by... Seeing these six bugs flying over the city, the brother and sister breathed a sigh of relief...
But then, these six bugs seemed to have dropped something and circled back again, hovering over the Acropolis!
"Discovered!"
The brother and sister suddenly felt a rush of cold air from their heels to the top of their heads. Duguchen shouted: "Quick, Xiaolan, shoot them down!"
Dugulan's big bow was too long and could not be held in her hand at all times. She also carried a short bow with her. It was also treated with special technology and had amazing pulling force and excellent elasticity! She immediately drew the bow and nocked an arrow, and fired it towards the sky.
Go! With a whoosh, he accurately hit an insect, directly piercing his skull and knocking it down!
The other insects immediately retreated upon seeing this, and Dugu Lan quickly shot. With the sound of the bowstring collapsing, one flying insect fell down one after another, but in the end, one escaped from the shooting range!
"That damn bug must have gone back to report!" Duguchen gritted his teeth and said, "Quickly, tell everyone to get up and prepare to face the enemy!"
The brother and sister immediately woke up the sleeping soldiers. When everyone heard that the insects were coming, they all woke up instantly. They immediately put on their helmets, picked up their weapons, climbed up the city wall, and got ready for battle.
But as soon as they climbed to the top of the city, these soldiers showed desperate expressions!
I saw a dense army of insects coming from the west!
That scale was larger and stronger than any army that had attacked Star City before!
Ordinary mantis monsters can't be seen at a glance, spreading here like a rising tide of the sea. The swarm of insects is also mixed with purple gold war insects that are one size larger. They are round and self-destructing insects with stomachs full of acid. They can release sharp spikes far away.
Poison arrow bugs that attack from a distance...
As for the huge, glittering golden beetles, there are dozens of them!
Apart from these, the most eye-catching thing is the giant centipede monster!
In the past few months, insect swarms have attacked the city almost every day, but the Dugu brothers and sisters have seen centipede monsters appear so many times that they can count them on one hand, and there is only one at a time! Presumably these huge insect monsters,
It also consumes a lot of energy. It requires a lot of food and rest to go out once, and it can't be used easily.
But this time, there were five centipede monsters alone in the vast sea of insects! And one of them was even larger than the others, with bigger fangs, longer claws, and a thicker carapace.
There are sharp spikes and blades on the top of the head, and the size is more than twice as big! It is obviously an advanced version of the centipede monster!
In the world of cold weapons, the appearance of even one of this level of prehistoric behemoths can be regarded as a natural disaster!
"When I was guarding the Sunset Fortress, I never saw this formation..."
A veteran who returned from Sunset Fortress swallowed his saliva and trembled all over. The appearance of this insect swarm brought back the most desperate memories in his heart!
