to blame

Ming Xia's scalp tingled for a while.

When he has one or a few clear goals in front of him, he can handle it completely, but what will he do if the goals become hundreds of thousands?

Let Qingqiu set fire again?

But Qingqiu's energy has a more important role, especially when Nanjiang and the others have almost no weapons at their disposal, this ability is even more important, and it must not be exhausted all at once.

Ming Xia gestured towards Nan Jiang: Hold on for a while!

Nan Jiang couldn't lift his arm, but he still responded with a simple gesture: No problem!

Ming Xia was burning with anxiety, but she could only focus on what she was about to do right now.He directed Qingqiu to move slowly upstream along the river bed, while sensing the fluctuations from the surface with his heart.

"You said bugs are afraid of water?" Ming Xia asked Qingqiu again, "Where's the river water?"

Qingqiu said: "No matter what kind, it will die when it touches water."

Ming Xia hesitated, "Why do I feel that there is water...under the river bed?"

Qingqiu was taken aback, "How do you know?"

"Feeling." Ming Xia said: "It's like the first time we went to No. [-] supply station, I had this feeling. There seemed to be waves in my mind. Do you remember the river behind the supply station? But Li Youran The water they brought in was poisonous, so it was very uncomfortable."

They all thought that Ming Xia's reaction at that time was aimed at the poison.Later, when they approached the Shenxing Lake under the pine cliff, Ming Xia also reacted.

Thinking back now, Ming Xia felt that she was more sensitive to water itself.

Qingqiu was suddenly excited, "Maybe it's because your ancestor is a crane. Cranes can't do without water all their lives, so they will naturally have a strong response to the fluctuations of water elements. Moreover, Jiuxiao's demon power is very powerful, and you are still inseparable because of him. parasitic, and was inspired to return to the ancestors. Brothers said that you can't be regarded as a human being, but a half-demon."

Ming Xia, "...what an honor."

Qingqiu couldn't help being excited, "Hurry up and see where it's easier to start? Remember to find the place with the strongest induction, which should be the closest to the ground. I'll try to see if I can blast the ground away. Quick! Quick! Quick Nanjiang and the others are about to lose their support!"

While praying for his comrades in arms to persevere for a while, Ming Xia tried his best to shift his attention away from the battle circle on the other side of the river bed, and to the river bed full of pebbles under his feet.

Perhaps because of his concentration, the feeling of rippling water in Ming Xia's mind became more obvious, but this feeling also changed, some areas were clearer, while others were much more blurred.Ming Xia felt that this was what Qingqiu said was caused by the difference in the straight-line distance from the ground.

He could clearly sense a raging force bound under the surface, rushing left and right in the limited space, trying to find a gap, and gushing out.

Nan Jiang picked up a pebble weighing about two catties, weighed it in his hand, aimed at the target, and threw it out like a shot put.

The cobblestone drew an arc in the air, and slammed on the head of the skeleton soldier in front.It was a human skeleton, the skull was hit, the whole body shook twice, and fell down.He was quickly stepped on by the skeleton soldiers who caught up behind him.

Others followed suit and picked up pebbles on the ground to fight back.

However, there are too few people, and there are too many skeleton soldiers, especially the skeletons of snow wolves inside. Although the running speed cannot be compared with that of live snow wolves, it is much faster than other forms of skeleton soldiers. .Moreover, they still retain many of their instincts in life and can dodge while running, so they are even less likely to be hit.

Seeing that several snow wolf skeletons were about to pounce in front of them, at the critical moment, Qingqiu shot back his carbine and shot out a mouthful of fire from mid-air.A group of skeleton soldiers who had approached Nan Jiang and others were all burned to ashes in an instant, and a large open space was immediately vacated on the river bed.

However, the "Guoyin Soldier" just retreated a few meters, hesitated a little, and surrounded him again.

Nanjiang was also aroused by this stone fight, his arm was about to break, but he still picked and picked on the river bed while the skeleton soldiers didn't get close, and piled up all the stones he had in his hand around.

By this time, no one had thought about why the reinforcements hadn't arrived yet.The most likely reason for not coming in time is that they encountered an unexpected situation and were trapped.

The most important thing is to try to save yourself.

Only by saving yourself can you have the opportunity to rescue other comrades in arms.

"Here... no, go a little further..." Ming Xia pays attention to the movement on the other side of the river bed, and at the same time distinguishes the fluctuations under his feet. The fluctuations here are the clearest. Perhaps if we go further, we will meet even clearer ones..."

But they have no more time.Just behind them, the open space that was burned out by Qingqiu was almost filled by skeleton soldiers again!

Qingqiu also knew that geological prospecting was a time-consuming and labor-intensive job, and it was impossible to produce detailed prospecting results in such a short period of time.

Furthermore, Xia was a half-demon who had not yet fully awakened, and his abilities were not particularly strong. It was already very difficult for him to find the most active area of ​​the water element only by instinct.

"Then here it is."

Ming Xia jumped off Qingqiu's back and roughly cleaned up the place he had chosen, moving away any stones that were too big or in the way. loss.

After doing this, he quickly dodged to the side.

The sound of stones hitting and the suppressed calls of humans came from the lower reaches of the riverbed, Ming Xia resisted not to look at it, but focused on Qingqiu.

Qingqiu signaled Ming Xia to stay farther away, then flew into the air and chose a suitable height, leaned over, got lucky, compressed his mobilizable energy into a ball, and suddenly threw it into the round pit marked by Ming Xia.

There was a violent vibration from the ground under his feet.

Ming Xia couldn't help but backed away again, he could sense the energy fluctuations erupting from Qingqiu, with scorching breath, spreading from the round pit to the surroundings.

After a moment of silence, there was a faint vibration under his feet.

Qingqiu in mid-air looked at Ming Xia in a daze, wondering if they succeeded?Failed?Or did something unexpected happen?

Ming Xia didn't know, the method he came up with was to use a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and he didn't have time to think about the possible consequences—since there was water, of course he had to release it for emergency treatment.

What else?

Are all the team members going to die together?

The vibration became more and more obvious.

On the lower reaches of the riverbed, Nanjiang and the others who had witnessed all this began to retreat towards a higher place on the south side of the riverbed.The skeleton soldiers on the river bed stopped attacking in a daze, while the "passing the shadow soldiers" around them became visibly agitated.

Ming Xia saw the group of smoke-like black bugs flying into the air with excitement, like a black dress hanging out of the air.After fanning for a while, he suddenly pounced down, making a gesture of compulsion, wrapping the skeleton soldier tightly.

But the skeleton soldiers didn't seem to understand what to do at all, or the black bugs themselves disagreed, so the skeleton soldiers bumped into each other and bumped into you on the river beach.

The vibration of the ground became more and more obvious, Qingqiu dived down from mid-air anxiously, throwing Ming Xia behind him.As soon as its four claws left the ground, there was a bang, and then a stream of clear water flowed past its feet.

A rush of water spewed out from the place where Qingqiu smashed a big hole before.

Ming Xia and Qing Qiu didn't expect that a random hole would have the effect as if a high-pressure water gun had been turned on.Especially when they are in mid-air, the visual impact is even more distinct.

In the blink of an eye, the surging water flowed over the dry river bed and rushed downstream.The two parties who were originally fighting dodged each other, and Bai Ying who was running at the end was knocked down by the tide, and rushed several meters crookedly, it was Nan Jiang who chased him all the way and carried him back.

The skeleton soldiers standing in the middle of the river beach were swept away by the raging tide before they could react. The "Guoyin soldiers" ignored the skeleton soldiers who were washed away, but slowly gathered above the river as if possessed by an evil spirit.

Ming Xia didn't have trypophobia, but when he looked at the big group of dense black spots in front of him, he also felt that he was about to fall ill.Moreover, the distance was too close, and there were too many small black bugs, the tiny vibrations they emitted were amplified, and the frequency of dense fluctuations made Ming Xia want to vomit.

"They come together like this..."

Before Ming Xia finished speaking, he saw a large group of thick cloud-like insects falling into the water with a crackling sound.

"Be...bewitched?" Ming Xia was dumbfounded, but soon realized that Qingqiu said that this kind of black bug "will die when it comes into contact with water".Could it be... is this the way to die?

"Every creature has its own nature," Qingqiu explained to him solemnly, "The nature of black bugs is to lay eggs in water and then hatch in a dry environment...contradictory? So usually, those who used to Where there is water and then it becomes dry, this bug will appear."

Ming Xia, "..."

This habit is too tricky.

"Where there is water, there are people, but when drought comes... Especially in ancient times, a large area of ​​drought usually killed a lot of people." Qingqiu's voice was tender, but what he said was the cruelest thing in the world, "People or The corpses of the animals work together with the black bugs to prey on humans. Everyone has always regarded this kind of bugs as evil spirits."

Ming Xia shuddered when he heard that.

Isn't this the bone spirit? !

Qingqiu sighed old-fashionedly, "So in ancient times, there were always rumors of all kinds of ghosts and ghosts after the catastrophe...Those evil monster races would indeed come out to stir up trouble when humans were in disaster."

Ming Xia, "..."

Ming Xia has a feeling that the historical knowledge he has mastered is actually a piece of torn clothes, and now Qingqiu has filled up a hole with a needle and thread.

A thick layer of insect corpses floated on the surface of the river, and the thick clouds in mid-air had thinned a lot.And those dead bones that were controlled by the black bugs were washed away by the first wave of tide.

Nan Jiang was extremely tired. He sat down on the rocky beach and couldn't move anymore. His whole body seemed to be falling apart.But his eyes were fixed on Ming Xia who was on the back of the fox not far away.

Looking at it, a look of helplessness and gratitude slowly appeared in his eyes.

When Ming Xia came back, even if he made a big fuss, he still felt... great!
