to blame

"Damn it, it's coming again!" Nan Jiang felt a flash of despair in an instant.

He knew all too well where they were at the moment, exhausted, out of ammunition and food.Even the communicator was destroyed in the previous battle.I don't know where the backup has rushed to, and I don't know how to respond to them.

Nanjiang couldn't confirm whether the positioning devices on them were still useful, and whether they could transmit their coordinates back to the headquarters in a timely manner.If not, it will be more difficult to connect with rescue.

"Get ready." Nanjiang ran back and counted the number of people who could continue to fight.Try to keep the wounded and normal human soldiers in the middle.

He has already made plans to evacuate the wounded, but he still needs to wait.He couldn't see in which direction the enemy had set up an encirclement circle, so he didn't dare to push people out just like that.

There are still four torches, and the ammunition can last for about a quarter of an hour, and then there is the military dagger that everyone is equipped with.

There's only so much they have in stock.

Nanjiang only kept one torch in his hand, and the ammunition had already been distributed to other people.He watched the thick smoke in the distance move towards the river bed as if it covered the sky, but he thought of the family members he hadn't contacted for several years, his parents, younger sister, and some relatives whose names he couldn't even remember. And... Ming Xia.

He was a little lucky that Ming Xia went to Qingqiu Mountain.

Qingqiu Mountain, thousands of miles away, must be full of singing birds and fragrant flowers at this moment, and the spring is beautiful, right?He heard people say that there is a spring scene all the year round, neither cold nor hot, and the climate is pleasant.He imagined that Ming Xia led Qingqiu to walk among the verdant fields, or the little fox turned into a fur ball and rolled on the grass...

Nan Jiang's chapped lips raised involuntarily, revealing a smile.

Maybe he shouldn't think so.But at this moment, he really felt that it was... great that they didn't come back.

In the thick smoke, pale bones appear and disappear.

The "Guoyin soldiers" may be tired of the endless tug-of-war, and are ready to completely swallow the small group of annoying humans occupying the Pomegranate Canyon.Therefore, they gathered the largest group of soldiers and surrounded this section of the riverbed in a mighty manner.

Li Youran scolded fiercely, "This fucking...evolved?! Why are you all armed?!"

The encirclement gradually narrowed, and they could see more clearly. Before, the skeleton soldiers had at most a bastard in their hands, but now many of them had knives and swords in their hands.

Nan Jiang suddenly wanted to laugh, "This is to see that the decisive battle is imminent, so I raised the equipment standard for the minions... okay."

Several people around laughed.

"Concentrate the torches towards the east, blast a path, and withdraw with the wounded."

These words were addressed to Zeng Haoran.

Zeng Haoran knew that in this situation, the pure humans must be the first to retreat, so he didn't talk nonsense, so he directly called a few people in his team to cooperate with the wounded, put on their backs, support them, and prepare for the retreat.

Although the name of the torch produced by Wenliang is random, it should actually be called a high-temperature torch.As soon as the cannon shot out, a large area of ​​the encirclement was immediately vacated. Although new skeleton soldiers soon filled up, the four fire cannons blasted a retreat path, and it was barely enough to send the wounded and Zeng Haoran's soldiers out.

After all, there are more prey left in the encirclement, and their vitality is more vigorous.In this regard, both the skeleton soldiers and the "passing Yin soldiers" are sensitive.Given the choice, they still prefer to choose foods full of vitality.

There was a clatter of gunshots, but the actions of the shot skeletons would not be greatly affected.Unless the cervical vertebrae are broken, they will still twist and twist and pounce on them.

Nan Jiang thought to himself, it was like playing the skeleton version of "Resident Evil".Human beings caught by zombies in the movie will also be infected with the virus, and here, being caught by the claws of the skeleton soldiers will also be infected with the virus.

The only thing that can be thankful is that the corpse poison will only infect and inflame the wounds, and will not turn them into zombies.

The ammunition ran out quickly, Nan Jiang grabbed the handle of the dagger, and rushed forward with a roar.

On the east side of the formation, on the Thorn Plain, the supply truck stopped again.

This is a simple road temporarily opened after the fall of the No. [-] peak. It is narrow, bumpy, and some sections of the road are piled with piles of thorns that have not been cleaned up in time. Only a few small animals choose to make their homes here: rats, rabbits, ferrets, and snakes.One of the venomous snakes, "Bite Green", is said to be as poisonous as the Corona snake.

Ming Xia and Qing Qiu got out of the car, and walked to the front of the convoy anxiously to see that the engineers were opening the way.

This is a team for transporting supplies, and its combat effectiveness is not strong. There are only a few soldiers doing guard work, and the rest are ordinary workers.

Ming Xia discussed with Qing Qiu, "Can you carry me away?"

Qingqiu knew that the situation was urgent, so he didn't flirt with him, he reached out and hugged Ming Xia, and then showed his original shape.Not a little fox like a furball, but a beautiful big fox like a pony.

Ming Xia checked the map with the captain of the motorcade, carried his things on his back, walked to Qingqiu, hugged his neck and sat on it.

The big fox flicked its tail and ran on the plain.He didn't seem to care about the thorns under his feet at all, he ran faster and faster, and then rose into the sky under the surprised eyes of others, and galloped towards the direction of the No. [-] peak.

Under their feet, the Plain of Thorns was like a flat dark green blanket, extending to the stone forest in the distance.From a distance, the area of ​​the stone forest is about [-] to [-] mu. The terrain is extremely complicated, and it will be very troublesome to walk through the ground.

Qingqiu's speed was extremely fast, so one person and one fox did not see a group of fugitives in the stone forest under their feet.They had no weapons other than daggers, and more than half of their companions were wounded.One of the wounded with a leg injury could not even walk and had to be carried forward by his teammates in turn.

Ming Xia had noticed the black smoke in the distance when Qingqiu was flying up, and she didn't know if it was a fire in the field or what happened.They decided to head towards the smoking area to see what was going on.

The wind speed was too high during the running, Qingqiu called Ming Xia directly in his consciousness, "Did you hear any strange sound?"

Ming Xia didn't hear any strange sounds, but he sensed some kind of fluctuation, like the feeling of many small flying insects buzzing around his ears. It was an uncomfortable frequency, like a buzzing sound It pierced through his eardrums and penetrated into his brain.

In addition, there was another kind of fluctuation, as if there were waves of clear water swaying in his consciousness, this feeling... It seemed familiar.

"It seems that there are bugs..."

Qingqiu said: "When I lived in Baimei's house, I followed them to the darts, and I met this kind of thing on the way...very nasty bugs. At that time, those dart guards were scared to death."

Ming Xia didn't understand why annoying bugs would frighten people into fools, so he couldn't care less about asking.

Qingqiu flew closer and closer, and gradually approached the plain at the southern end of No. [-] Peak.They saw the gap-like pomegranate canyon on the plain, the dry riverbed at the bottom of the canyon, and the chaotic encirclement in the middle of the riverbed wrapped in black smoke.

"Sure enough!" Qingqiu said angrily, "These nasty bugs are more annoying than corpse bugs, once they get entangled by them, death will be unsafe!"

Ming Xia didn't understand what he was talking about at first, but when Qingqiu lowered the height and he saw the tireless fighting skeleton soldiers wrapped in smoke, he understood everything.

"The worms are manipulating these skeletons?" Ming Xia asked him, "Do the worms have natural enemies?"

"Yes." Qingqiu said: "The natural enemies are not very clear. These insects are too small and they always come out in groups. Ordinary birds don't want to eat them."

"Insects... should be afraid of fire, right?"

"I am afraid of fire, but I am most afraid of water. If there is water in this river, insects will not be a concern. But wherever there are rivers and lakes, such annoying insects will not breed."

Ming Xia realized that his comrades were in the encirclement, but the white bones and human limbs appeared and disappeared in the thick smoke, and it was difficult to distinguish them, so he didn't know what to do.

"Look at me."

Qingqiu flicked his tail triumphantly, swooped down, and flew past the encirclement, his paws quickly grabbed a skeleton in the thick smoke, and flung it to the rock on the side.

The skeleton fell apart with a crash, and then glued together bit by bit with the help of the bugs.However, before it could be glued together, Qingqiu threw another skeleton over, and the two collided, and the skeleton that had been glued together was smashed again.

Then persevere and continue to stick together.

Qingqiu moved too fast, even with Ming Xia on his back, it took only a few seconds to go back and forth, and within a short time, a pile of broken bones piled up next to the reef.Qingqiu spouted fire, burning the messy pile of bones to ashes.

Nan Jiang glanced distractedly, and felt that the Little Fox brand lighter was much more powerful than Mr. Wen's torch.

With Qingqiu's air support, the pressure on Nan Jiang and the others eased.On the other side, they were dragged aside and burned by little foxes like eagles catching chickens. The attack of the skeleton soldiers was already in disarray, and some of them were weak in follow-up.

The "Guoyin soldiers" began to retreat in the direction of the No. [-] peak.

Nan Jiang was in a turbulent mood, and was about to rush forward to give Ming Xia a hug when he was reunited with Ming Xia, when he waved his hand at him, rode a fox and... left? !

Nan Jiang was at a loss. He saw this person and a fox walking in mid-air, stopping and turning a few times from time to time. He didn't know what he was looking for.

Nanjiang, "..."

"What's going on?" Li Youran put his arm on Nanjiang's shoulder half-deadly and asked him, "What's wrong with these two? Are you missing something?"

After a melee just now, she was dirty all over her body, and the sleeves of her training uniform were torn by the claws of the skeleton, and there was indeed a tattoo the size of a dragon eye on her upper arm near her shoulder.

Seems to be a person's name.

Nan Jiang took a glance and then quickly looked away, thinking to herself, no wonder she was so angry when Qing Qiu exposed her last time, there really was a secret.

But in the current scene, no one would have thought of this.

"It seems that I'm really looking for something..." A thought flashed in Nanjiang's mind. Before he could think about it, someone shouted behind him, "Here we come!"

"Guoyin soldiers" is here again.

But this time, they changed their strategy, instead of swarming up like a swarm, they gathered all the dead bones together to form a huge skeleton monster more than three meters high.

The skeleton monster was covered in smoke, walking towards the river bed step by step along the direction of the grassy slope.Every time it took a step, countless dead bones collided with each other, making a creepy clicking sound.

The skeleton monster opened its huge palm, and easily picked up a huge boulder on the river bank that was as tall as a person, and then...

"Back off!"

Nan Jiang's cry almost broke his voice, and he pushed Li Youran who was beside him to retreat hastily.There are many reefs on the south side of the river bed, which can barely resist.If you stay on the open river bed, you are really a living target.

Just as Li Youran ran into the back of a rock, a huge boulder half a person's height flew out, rubbing against her back, and smashed heavily into the rock pile, splashing a mess of rocks.

Li Youran's arms and cheeks were scratched by the flying gravel, but she didn't dare to move.When I looked up, I saw Nanjiang not far away looking up at the other side of the riverbed.She followed Nanjiang's line of sight and saw Qingqiu stopped steadily in mid-air, Mingxia was sitting on his back, a long bow of Subai in her hand was drawn to the full string.

Li Youran's eyes blurred for a moment.

She felt that her eyes could not catch up with Ming Xia's movements at all.But in the blink of an eye, the long arrow had left the string and passed through the skeleton giant's collarbone.

The airflow brought by the arrow body caused a small cyclone around the skeleton monster, making the black smoke around it seem to be shot through.

A moment later, the skeleton monster crashed to the ground, scattered as dry bones all over the place.

The black smoke rushed into the air angrily, spread out a pair of wings like patterns threateningly, and suddenly sank into the mess of dry bones, and started a new round of bonding work unwillingly.

There was a crackling sound of dead bones on the river beach, and countless skeletons stood up again.
