Chapter 20: Unknown dangers are the most terrifying!
The clan leader actually took personal action to deal with the young drug hunters, a decision that surprised everyone.
Then he thought carefully and realized that among the people present, there was indeed no one more suitable than the patriarch.
Zhui Du and his gang were unaware of the undercurrents within this group of old guys. They just waited on the side until the crowd on the opposite side parted and the leader of the Wuya tribe stood out from the crowd. Only then did they instantly go on alert.
Mo Youli: "What are the rules of the fight?"
The Wuya tribe leader looked at Mo Youli with a smile, and spoke slowly, bit by bit:
"Young man, don't be impatient. We still have plenty of time. Since the Insect Sacrifice Tower will open in half an hour, why don't we just set our time limit at half an hour? As long as you can break the next move within half an hour, I will consider you a pass, and the Insect Sacrifice Tower will be open to Du Zhui. How do you do that?"
Mo Youli exchanged glances with the people around him, then looked at the leader of the Wuya tribe and nodded in agreement, "Okay."
——
The war is about to begin.
Everyone dispersed to give the two parties who were about to fight a wide space.
The leader of the Wuya tribe pushed his hands forward, with the tips of his thumbs touching each other, his two middle fingers bent downward, and the other six fingers raised upward.
Under everyone's astonished gaze, the insect clothes on his body, which were made of piles of insects, suddenly began to change.
Originally, the insect clothes were just moving slowly and regularly from left to right, but now the insects on the insect clothes changed direction one after another, moving towards the fingers of the leader of the Mist Bud tribe, and then popped out from the six raised fingers and fell to the ground to turn into a cup.
Seeing this situation, Mo Youli couldn't help but frown. He had a bad premonition.
After thinking about it, he immediately made a gesture to the people around him. Everyone understood and took two steps back.
In a short while, the cups on the ground almost filled up the entire ground, leaving only a small space for Zhui Du and his friends as well as the leader of the Wuya tribe to stand.
These cups are about ten centimeters high, with a circle with a radius of one centimeter as the bottom. The walls of each cup are painted with pictures of green mountains and green waters of different scenes, which are magnificent and elegant.
"rise!"
At a gentle shout from the leader of the Wuya tribe, all the cups flew up, scattered, and surrounded the heads of those who were chasing Du.
"bite----"
The leader of the Wuya tribe changed the position of his hands, closed his eyes tightly, and made a gesture of playing the guqin in the air. His ten fingers moved back and forth up and down and left and right in the air at will, as if he was completely immersed in his own musical art.
As his fingertips played, some of the cups began to shake left and right. The next second, the cups sprayed out a huge amount of white transparent mucus towards the position where they were chasing Du.
“Dong——”
The moment the piano music started, the cups floating in the sky exchanged positions with each other, and large pieces of silk poured out from the mouths of the cups and attacked towards Xu Ren'er and the others. Fortunately, everyone was quick-witted and dodged the silk in an instant.
These silk threads combine with the mucus originally spit out on the ground and are firmly embedded in the ground.
The pleasant ding-dong sound echoed repeatedly in my ears. The cup changed its position at will according to the thoughts of the leader of the Wuya tribe, and a large amount of silk and mucus fell down.
These silk and mucus are not harmful at all, and their destination is not Xu Ren'er and his group, but the trees and grass around them...
This strange phenomenon alarmed everyone, and seven words suddenly popped up in everyone's mind:
——The calm before the storm——
"Ding Dong——"
When the soft and slow piano music ended, the leader of the Wuya tribe withdrew his hands that were suspended in the air, stood with his hands behind his back, and retreated to the group of elderly people.
"Everyone, my formation has been set up. Now it's up to you to show yourselves. Show off your abilities to your heart's content.
I wish you success and that you can break my formation within half an hour."
——
The surrounding area is covered with dense silk threads, which are arranged in an orderly manner. The mucus almost covers every silk thread, and even has a little reflective effect under the light.
"Don't worry, let me test the water for you."
Tang Qiuyue put away one of the axes and swung the other one. The next second, she held the axe that had not been put away in both hands and spun it back and forth in the air.
In an instant, a small gust of wind blew up around her.
Unfortunately, although she moved a lot, the silk did not move at all, and the plants and trees stuck to the mucus did not move either.
Tang Qiuyue's eyes suddenly became sharp. She swung her axe and chopped at a certain spot, thinking that she could at least make a small hole, or the force of the attack would be rebounded.
Little did she know that as soon as her axe touched the silk, in less than a second, the axe instantly sank into the pile of silk.
She didn't receive a rebound from the attack, but she didn't break one of the holes either. Instead, she seemed to have lost one of her weapons.
Xu Ren'er quickly stepped forward and asked, "How is it?"
Tang Qiuyue frowned and wanted to retract the axe, but when she moved, she found that she couldn't pull it out.
"Wait a minute."
Tang Qiuyue increased her strength, but found that she could not pull it out. The silk seemed to be obsessed with her axe, holding on tightly to Tang Qiuyue's axe and unwilling to let go.
Tang Qiuyue had to continue to increase her strength. Finally, the silk around the embedded axe had a slight fluctuation. Tang Qiuyue continued to exert strength and finally pulled the axe out completely.
Due to the great force and Tang Qiuyue's lack of preparation, she staggered back several steps. Fortunately, Xu Ren'er and the others were always keeping an eye on her movements and supported her in time from behind.
Xu Ren'er: "Qiuyue, are you okay?"
Tang Qiuyue smiled, stood up and thanked him, then continued:
"I'm fine, it's just..."
Her eyes moved to the axe that had just been taken out of the silk, and everyone followed her gaze and looked at the axe together.
The originally smooth and bright axe body was now covered with white and sticky glue marks. A few drops of mucus dripped along the edge of the axe body to the ground. The originally scattered grass was instantly blended together because of the mucus.
"Is there any way to remove these sticky marks?"
Tang Qiuyue swung the axe and chopped lightly at one of the trees, only making a small hole.
Tang Qiuyue withdrew the axe, but as expected, she could not use the same force as before.
This time, she learned her lesson and didn't fall backwards without being caught off guard. However...
Tang Qiuyue silently looked at the tree roots that were connected to the axe and fell into deep thought.
The tree that was cut down seemed to have been uprooted by her...
“It’s too sticky.”
Tang Qiuyue shook her head and concluded.
She broke off the tree roots stuck to both sides of the axe and threw them on the ground. Only some bark residue remained on the axe body, which was too sticky to be removed.
Xu Ren'er lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said:
"Could it be because the weapon is too big?"
If the space occupied is smaller, would it be relatively easier to freely expand and replay?
"Then let me give it a try."
Liu Roulei stood up, and the silver needles on her cuffs appeared one after another. Liu Roulei used her internal force to connect the silver needles to form a silver thread, and then swung it towards one of the positions of the silk and inserted it into the inside.
After some operations, she looked at everyone and everyone nodded to her. She immediately understood and pulled back with force, trying to retrieve the silver thread.
Unfortunately, the silk was extremely sticky. When Liu Roulei pulled it, the silver thread didn't move at all and she couldn't retract it into her sleeve at all.
Fortunately, Liu Roulei had no shortage of silver needles. The situation that Tang Qiuyue had just experienced could not happen to her. She once again used her internal energy, and the silver thread broke off a small piece, leaving a useless silver needle, and the rest was all taken back.
Liu Roulei shook her head at everyone and said:
"It doesn't matter the size of the weapon. Even if the weapon is extremely small, it's extremely difficult to recover."
She had just used at least 70% of her strength, but still couldn't successfully remove the silver thread. So she simply didn't waste her energy. She had plenty of silver needles anyway, so one or two wouldn't make a difference.
but……
"Qiuyue, how much force did you use to retrieve the axe from the silk just now?"
"40%, what's wrong?"
A trace of surprise flashed across Liu Rou's eyes. She was shocked and said, "It turns out that Tang Qiuyue's power is so strong!"
On second thought, Liu Roulei felt that it was expected. She was used to using light weapons like silver needles, and Tang Qiuyue had been using those two huge and extremely heavy axes since she was a child, so her strength was naturally not that of an ordinary warrior.
"Everyone, we must get rid of these silks as soon as possible."
Everyone was still thinking about how to deal with the problem of silk stickiness when Nie Mufeng suddenly spoke, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Tang Beiju asked, "What do you mean?"
Nie Mufeng pointed at his eyes, then at the location of the surrounding silk, and explained:
"I can't see the silk in your mouths, but I can hear everything you're doing, and I have a rough idea of the current state of the surrounding environment.
So, I must remind you that those silk threads are full of insect eggs.
Furthermore, from what I've observed, these eggs are constantly growing larger. As time goes by, they're desperately trying to hatch and grow. If we don't act quickly, we'll soon be facing more than just a bunch of harmless sticky silk."
This news was like thunder, and everyone fell silent.
However, the next second, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their relaxed state puzzled Li Huozi, who was watching from the sidelines.
The difficulties are obviously getting higher and the predicament is getting deeper, so why do they feel at ease?
There are many people who have the same idea as Li Huozi, but unfortunately they don’t realize that the reason they feel relaxed in chasing drugs is because they know where the dilemma lies!
If they just simply deal with the problem of silk stickiness on the surface, it would be too easy. The subsequent problems must be more difficult and harder to solve than they imagined.
Unknown dangers are the most terrifying!
The chief of the Wuya tribe had been quietly watching the situation on Zhuidu's side. When he heard Nie Mufeng's words, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Everything suddenly became clear in his mind: Why were Zhui Du and the others able to break the formation in front?
I'm afraid that the young man in white who was speaking is the key to breaking the previous formation!
