A sense of crisis arose in his heart, and before he could react, he felt his body being restrained by something. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was a wire mesh, tying him tightly from behind.
This is not over yet!
The body rolled directly to the side, and at the same time the blood condensed into the shape of a dagger. He waved his arm to cut off the silk threads on his body. The rock behind him directly protruded as high as a person, hoping to block the subsequent attack.
He didn't even have time to curse, as silk screens were coming from all directions.
Liu Xiao rolled on the ground in embarrassment, constantly using rocks to block the flying wire mesh. He glanced in the direction of Tanya, and was horrified. He saw that Tanya had been wrapped into a silk net at some point.
She looks like a silkworm chrysalis, and a giant moth is dragging her upwards.
He glanced over and saw that there were eight giant moths attacking him repeatedly. One was dragging Tanya, two were in front of him, and the other five were flying behind him.
You can fly, but I can’t!!
Liu Xiao was also angry. The rocks under his feet suddenly bulged and kept climbing, directly taking him high into the sky. In an instant, he changed from looking up to looking down.
The rapid-fire stance is activated, and blood arrows instantly fall like raindrops.
The giant moths were also fooled by the sudden rise of this creature. The silk net on their tails could only target targets below them, and had no way to deal with targets higher than them. In a moment, they were shot into a sieve, one after another.
It just hit the ground.
When the one dragging Tanya was unable to fall, Liu Xiao shot a bloody arrow. The blood arrow turned into a hook in mid-air, and carefully hooked Tanya, who was like a rice dumpling, and slowly fell to the ground.
After cutting the threads on her body, Liu Xiao carefully checked whether Tanya had any injuries and confirmed that she was fine.
【Why didn't you call me when you were attacked?】
Liu Xiao also wondered why Tanya remained silent.
[It is very dangerous to be distracted during battle. If something happens to you, then we will have no hope at all.]
Tanya tore off the remaining sticky silk on her body, bit her lower lip and said, "Nothing will happen to you."
[Okay, what you said is right, but don’t ignore your own life at any time, even at the starting point. 】
He patiently picked off the sticky threads from Tanya's blond hair, looked into her eyes and spoke in a spiritual voice.
【I failed to protect you.】
Tanya smiled playfully and helped to remove the silk screen from Liu Xiao's back, "Then you promise me you won't eat this kind of moth."
This request directly made Liu Xiao roll his eyes.
[Where did these giant moths come from?] Tanya asked.
[I don’t know, this thing is very smart. It likes to pounce from behind the target. It seems to know that sound cannot be transmitted in this bamboo forest. If the airflow fanned by their wings was not relatively large, they would have succeeded. 】
[Do you think they are related to the maggots in the bamboo?]
[It seems really possible.] After Tanya's reminder, Liu Xiao suddenly thought of something. He cut off a silent bamboo tree next to him with a knife, and found that the hollow silent bamboo pole was empty, and no maggots were found.
, and then checked the top of the silent bamboo.
Sure enough, the top is open.
[It seems that the maggots are most likely the larvae of giant moths, and the adult maggots will fly out from the top of the silent bamboo.]
【Then in this forest...】
Liu Xiao knew what Tanya wanted to say. There was a giant moth in every silent bamboo, so how many were there? He couldn't think too much about this question, otherwise it would only make his scalp numb.
【Leave quickly!】
Liu Xiao took Tanya's hand and ran forward quickly.
Before, he was still wondering why there were so many bodies in Notolan, but now he finally knew, because the giant moths hidden in the bamboo forest might be much more numerous than them.
Darkness is the natural protective color of these giant moths. With the density and height of silent bamboo, it is probably dark even in the daytime in the bamboo forest. The inability to transmit sound in the bamboo forest makes them more at home, and the sound of flapping wings is also concealed.
In the dark night, the two of them were galloping through the bamboo forest. More and more corpses were hanging above their heads. The corpses of giant moths began to appear on the ground. The blood on the ground had not dried up, and the fallen torches had not yet burned. This also meant that...
They were not far away from the Nortolan team.
There were no more surprise attacks by giant moths along the way. It seemed that my inference was correct. Most of the giant moths were attracted by the Nortolan people. At this time, as long as they followed them and kept a certain distance, it was basically safe.
After walking for a while, a large number of flying giant moths began to appear high in the woods. These giant moths were constantly spraying silk nets downwards, and light finally appeared on the ground, revealing the Nortolan people under the light of each torch.
figure.
These stout humanoid creatures with dreadlock-like tentacles on their heads were running forward in embarrassment while using their tentacles and the weapons on their hands to resist the incoming wire mesh.
From time to time, Nortolan people wrapped in rice dumplings were hung upside down, slowly lifted into the air, and hung on the bamboo tips. They were soon pierced through the head by the long thorns of the giant moth, sucking out the brain and dying miserably.
After telling Tanya the situation ahead, the two began to slow down their pace. If they rushed forward, they would definitely be attacked by two groups of creatures. With such a large group of baits attracting firepower, Liu Xiao was naturally happy to follow behind.
The inability to hear sounds may be the biggest crisis for the Nortolan people. You must know that untransformed people cannot interact through spiritual sounds, cannot speak, and cannot communicate. Naturally, they cannot organize an effective counterattack. The Tonolan people's
There are barbs on the tips of the tentacles. Each tentacle can move independently. The shape is like a dreadlock, but when used, it looks more like the snake hair on the head of Medusa. If it is a close combat, it will have a great advantage, and they are physically strong.
He was able to use all kinds of short weapons proficiently, but it was a pity that in the face of the giant moth's constant aerial harassment and long-range silk screen offensive, he seemed clumsy and had no method to fight.
The giant moths in mid-air were so densely packed that Liu Xiao's heart palpitated when he saw them. He didn't have trypophobia, but it was better to see such scenes rarely. Fortunately, he didn't rush into it alone, otherwise he would most likely have to hide in the underground rock formations and shrink his head.
A turtle.
The Nortolan people were fighting and fleeing, basically exchanging their tribe's numbers for temporary safety.
Liu Xiao followed Tanya from a distance. He was sure that the giant moths could see at night, but he was not sure if they had other tracking methods, so he did not dare to sneak attack from the side, otherwise he would not mind in the dark.
Reduce the number of some giant moths.
After walking like this for more than an hour, the giant moths surrounding the Notolan people's heads not only did not decrease, but gathered more and more. As one went and the other increased, the deaths and injuries of the Notolan people became more and more tragic.
But the goddess of hope always smiles when she is in despair, and the same is true for the Nortolan people.
At the end of the field of vision, the boundary of the bamboo forest can be vaguely seen. This is a desperate situation for the Nottolan people who are at the end of their battle.
Many Notolan people escaped from the bamboo forest one after another, and the rest were also running desperately out of the forest. They had occasionally made some resistance before, but now they completely left their backs to luck.
【No! Leave quickly!】
Liu Xiao, who was originally following Notolan, suddenly increased his speed and had no time to tell Tanya the whole story. The blood and water around him solidified layers of barriers, and depending on the situation, he was ready to rush out bravely.
Yes, he had to do this, because he found that the giant moths all gathered at the edge of the bamboo forest and would never fly even half of their wings. This meant that if all the Notorans in the forest died or escaped,
The remaining thousands of giant moths will soon target them!
The Silent Bamboo grew too densely, and Yanlang could not be used in the bamboo forest. He could only shuttle between the Notolan people. These extraterrestrial creatures did not even look behind them. It was not until two creatures that were obviously not members of their own tribe passed by that they noticed that they were there.
Strange, but unable to make a sound, they could only watch helplessly as the two men flashed left and right in their own group.
Liu Xiao also did not attack the panicked Notolan people around him. These people were now his shields. If one of them died, one would be missing. He wished that these surviving Notolan people could dance around for a while longer.
The edge of the bamboo forest was right in front of him. Through the shadows of trees and people, Liu Xiao saw that at least a hundred Notorans had run out of the bamboo forest and were standing on the lawn two hundred meters away from the bamboo forest.
In addition to these, he also saw the scenery outside the bamboo forest, which was a circular lawn a thousand meters wide. In the center of the lawn, there was a building that resembled a football field.
The moment he rushed out of the bamboo forest with Tanya, his ears seemed to be unsealed, and various sounds vibrated in his eardrums at the same time. Before he had time to think, the rocks in the soil surged, and a rock wave formed in an instant.
, the two of them moved directly to the side, dodging the Nottolan crowd who showed their fierce looks when they saw them.
After making a huge arc, Liu Xiao went straight to the building in the central area.
