Soon after Chi and Yu left.

On the back mountain, the cocoon that was gently knocked awake by a stone trembled twice, and the green shell was forcibly broken and cracked by the power from inside the cocoon.

Two pairs of wings as thin as cicada wings, intertwined with black and blue, stretched out and unfolded from it. Transparent mucus dripped to the ground along the supporting bone spurs, corroding the blanket-like grass with a "chichi" sound.

Immediately afterwards, eight slender limbs covered with down "stepped" on the edge of the cocoon, and with a slight exertion, the upper body was stretched out.

It was a giant insect that looked like a butterfly, with soft tentacles on its head dancing flexibly around, as if a blind man was groping and exploring the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, its movements stopped, and a pair of faint blue compound eyes flashed with a strange light.

After a while, the "butterfly" flapped its wings and flew towards the distant sky.

……

the other side.

Facing Qi Sheng's inquiry, Shi Ling didn't care about his commanding attitude: "There is indeed a pile of colorful cocoons on the mountain to the north. In terms of location... it's probably about three-quarters of the entire mountain."

"As for the quantity, we only glanced at it from a distance and did not have detailed statistics... A rough estimate should be around four to five hundred."

Chi Yu looked past the crowd blocking the door and tried to look inside the ancestral hall.

Unfortunately, she couldn't see the scene inside clearly due to the obstruction of human heads and courtyard doors... She didn't even know if there was anyone inside.

She withdrew her gaze and listened intently to the conversation of the "leaders".

Qi Yue still looked cold and cold: "Four to five hundred...the overall number is quite different from the past."

Qi Sheng nodded: "It seems that our previous speculation was correct. These monsters on the back mountain are just the opponent's 'vanguard'."

As a player representative, Qu Yiyang pondered: "Are there any traces of 'cocoons' in other directions?"

If he remembered correctly, when Qin Zhen arrived with them, Qi Yue had already sent three teams to the east, south, and west directions in order to grasp the movements of the cocoons as soon as possible. .

Qi Yue looked calm: "There is no news yet... According to our experience, this is a very normal phenomenon."

"Almost at the end of every month, a similar situation happens." Her eyes were filled with fatigue. "Whenever the sun is obscured by dark clouds and the cold wind wraps the village... it means that Shenyou Village is about to face a crisis. The threat of monsters.”

Qi Sheng continued: "Generally speaking, 'Cocoon' will only appear at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, hatch the monster within half an hour, and carry out a blanket attack on the village."

"When the sun goes down and night falls... everything will be peaceful again."

Qi Sheng's eyebrows wrinkled, his expression a little complicated, "At that time, both the monsters that have been killed by us and the monsters that are still alive will disappear out of thin air... as if someone has wiped them from the canvas of reality. It’s the same as going.”

"Cocoons" and monsters appear inexplicably and disappear out of thin air...

I always feel like...it has some kind of special symbolic meaning.

Chi Yu was silent, but his thoughts were running wildly.

"But..." Qi Yue pursed her lips, "Occasionally, like today, I find traces of those 'cocoons' in the early morning."

"And this often means...this time the monsters have chosen a strategy of dividing their forces into multiple directions."

She raised her head and looked at the cloudy sky, "Although the time of the attack will not change, the monsters will no longer be limited to launching attacks from the location of their 'birth'."

"It is possible to choose two or three of the four directions... or even start a fire from all four directions."

"That is to say, the difficulty of defense is several orders of magnitude higher than usual..." Qu Yiyang understood the meaning of Qi Sheng's brothers and sisters without any obstacles.

Fortunately, according to Qi Sheng, those monsters will only emerge from their cocoons in the evening, and will be wiped out by inexplicable power at sunset. It will only take less than two hours to fully attack...

Even if you are so unlucky, monsters will attack from all directions... Qi Sheng, Qi Yue, villagers who have mastered rudimentary spells, and seven players, Shi Ling, who can compete with the monsters on Huan Mountain.

With this kind of strength configuration, if you just defend...unless those monsters are extremely strong in individual combat, there is almost no possibility of losing.

But then again, if those monsters were all stronger, Shenyou Village would not be able to hold on until now with its current armed forces.

After having a general understanding of the situation, the next thing to do is to arrange the defense line.

Several players looked at Qi Sheng and Qi Yue's orderly deployment of personnel, and felt a little itchy for no reason.

Especially Fang Yu and Qin Zhen, who never like to use their brains and are accustomed to using force to solve problems, have been engaging in intellectual battles with teammates and unknown "omissions" since entering this dungeon...

To be honest, they had been frustrated for a long time and were in urgent need of a hearty battle to vent their depressed emotions.

It wasn't until Qi Yue finished the final instructions and mobilization and dismissed all the villagers that Qu Yiyang stepped forward under the eager gaze of his partner.

Just as he was about to show his side's strength, he saw Qi Sheng wave to them.

Is this... asking them to follow him?

Qu Yiyang hesitated for a moment and took the lead to move closer to Qi Sheng.

Chi Yu and others followed closely.

On the path heading east, Qi Sheng said casually: "I know you are 'outsiders', and the reason why you are here is to help us completely eliminate the threat of monsters."

Hearing the words "basic settings", Chi Yu frowned and looked up at Qu Yiyang and others in front of him.

These guys... rushed to the important NPC's side so early before her, but they didn't even pass on such basic information, and they still had to rely on others to take the initiative?

If Qu Yiyang and others could hear Chi Yu's voice at this time, they would definitely be very aggrieved and cry out for themselves.

It's not that their efficiency is too low...it's actually that Qi Sheng and Qi Yue in this world don't have an initial favorable impression of them like they did in the last illusion, but instead have a vague hostility towards them.

This can be seen from the almost unchanged serious expressions and stiff tone when they introduced the basic situation of the "monster attack incident".

Chi Yu was also vaguely aware of the "abnormality" of Qi Sheng in front of her, so she rationally remained silent, just like her other six teammates.

Seeing that no player responded, Qi Sheng didn't care: "The batches of 'outsiders' who have come in the past have shown full combat power. There are seven of you now, plus me. There should be no problem in holding one direction alone. .”
