Chapter 608 He finally went crazy
A tall and thin figure emerged from the ruins.
He shook off the gravel and dust on his body. Only two brown eyes could be seen on his face wrapped tightly with black cloth, and the two triangular ears on top of his head stood up alertly.
Wolf Guard Beelzebub held his breath and concentrated.
In the dilapidated and collapsed city, the ground was covered with broken bricks and accumulated dust, mixed with scattered pottery shards, various broken wooden products, torn cotton and linen fabrics, and dark brown bloodstains everywhere.
After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Bezebub moved forward on all fours and arrived at the street corner ahead.
This is the area where wolf howls occur.
Broken bricks and stones were piled on the ground to form arrows pointing the way.
Beelzebub lowered his center of gravity and walked along the wall, entering a cellar in a collapsed house. The walls were covered with claw marks, and there were radiating bloodstains on the ground and walls.
In the innermost corner of the wall there was a pool of solidified blood, a broken bronze shoulder armor, and a deformed mace.
There were a few bits of hair left on the ground.
Bethel leaned over to the ground and sniffed.
It is the breath of Wolf Guard Yebu.
And the stench of those bugs.
Beelzebub transformed into a human form, took out a piece of linen, and skillfully gathered the remaining hair of his comrade. After wrapping it tightly, he used a wolf-hair brush dipped in red ink and wrote the name "Yebu" on it.
Then he lowered his head, left the cellar, and hurried towards the temporary camp.
…
After confirming that another member of the team had been killed, Wolf Guard Captain Huni simply said to Beelzebub: "Take this time to rest, we still have to hurry on our way."
Of the 112 elite Wolf Guards of the 4th Behind Enemy Lines Reconnaissance Regiment, only 7 are left.
In this world of [Wilso] that has entered its doomsday, they continue their mission while waiting for rescue and support from the rear.
In the caves in the mountains outside the city, everyone ate a limited amount of dry food.
Wolf Guard Chaji sniffed and said, "Captain, when will the main force arrive?"
The captain chewed the dried meat slowly and drank a sip of water from the leather bag: "Wait for the signal."
"But we haven't seen a signal in three months, Captain." Chaji looked at the leader: "We won't have backup, right?"
Captain Huni said, "Follow orders."
"I obey!"
Chaji pointed at his bandaged left paw and said, "In order to follow orders, I broke three of my paws, Captain. We know the rules. We must obey orders on the battlefield and move forward when told to. We must never retreat. But the situation is different now. We have been cut off from the rear."
"Wilso has been occupied by the Zerg, and even the locals have been eaten clean. There has been no large force sent from the rear for such a long time, so there is only one possibility."
He gritted his teeth and said: "We have been abandoned."
As soon as these words were spoken, the wolf guards who were still chewing their dry food all looked over.
Bethel just drank the water silently.
Everyone knew that Chaji was just telling the truth.
First, a swarm of insects descended from the sky without warning, and began hunting and devouring all living things on the ground.
Most of them are stronger than the Wolf Guards, and they are overwhelming and endless...
How long will it take for the world to be destroyed? As an eyewitness, Bethel knows.
One month is enough.
To make matters worse, ten days ago, there was another disaster involving a meteorite that hit the sky.
That day, the Wolf Guards dug out some edible tubers from the ground and were enjoying the rare food.
But suddenly, a huge creature fell from the sky.
The impact of the skydrop triggered an unprecedented earthquake. After the violent shaking of the ground slowed down a little, the whole world became weird.
Fire spurted out from underground into the air, and columns of fire shot up into the sky like fountains, while wisps of quicksand appeared in the air, as if they were a strange fluid oozing out of the World Clam.
The whole world suddenly began to flicker wildly, causing the Wolf Guards to temporarily lose their vision. Even the swarms of insects feeding on the ground were shaken and flew around to avoid the shock.
Then the black fog came.
It's hard to describe the fear that thing brings.
The swarm of insects was predictable. The Wolf Guards all knew that the cursed insects were a type of monster that would even attack and hunt gods, and there were ancient legends about them circulating in Wolf City.
They are the opposite of gods, the invaders that gods are most wary of, and the destroyers of civilization and myths.
However, in the black fog, the insects fell one after another, rolling and struggling in pain on the ground, their bodies swollen and bleeding... Faced with the strange black fog, they fled in panic.
Even the captain said: "This kind of ghost thing... is more ferocious than the cursed insect."
The black fog did not target the insect swarm, but treated everything in its presence the same. Wherever it went, everything withered, no grass grew, and all living things were tortured to death by it.
But this gave the Wolf Guards a chance to survive.
Because if there were only the Zerg, they would be discovered sooner or later, but after the black fog fell, the Zerg became a stray dog and dared not approach the black fog area.
Captain Huni led the team to move quickly, carefully wandering in the gap between the insect swarm and the black fog, looking for a glimmer of hope.
Most Wolf Guards died of starvation.
The violent black fog and the predatory insect swarms squeezed a large area of space, and the insects called giant valley elephants ate all the edible things they could see, first the local civilians, livestock and various extraordinary creatures, then the grains and vegetables in the fields, the fruits and tender leaves in the woods, and even the roots and seeds dug out from the ground...
The Wolf Guards could only hide in caves deep underground. With less and less food left, they were always hungry.
As long as wolves are hungry, their instincts will dominate their reason.
When performing missions, Wolf Guards often secretly eat unknown foods from the outside world.
Captain Hu Ni continued to do this despite repeated bans.
Almost all the remaining food in the outside world was contaminated by the black fog and then blown in by the storm. Otherwise, the giant valley elephants would have devoured it long ago.
The hungry even thought of cursing the insects.
They would find the bodies of cursed insects in the water or blown by the wind, then dig out the festering and bleeding parts on the outside, revealing fresh internal organs and meat.
The meat looks so delicious.
Hunger made the wolves eat desperately.
As a result, they themselves soon became covered in ulcers, blood oozing from their mouths and noses, and they wailed and screamed in unspeakable pain.
The captain ended their suffering with a knife.
…
However, the black fog is spreading further, rushing towards all directions of this world along the Land of Falling Sky, forming black traces on the surface, which will sooner or later submerge the entire world.
…
The captain's voice brought Bethel back to his senses.
"We must survive first, only by surviving can we have everything."
Captain Huni said in an unquestionable tone: "The fog area is getting bigger and bigger, and the insect swarms are dying. Time is very tight."
"We are getting closer and closer to the Temple of Taim. Since these insect swarms were summoned by the whistleblower, there must be a safe area over there."
A wolf guard asked, "Captain, we have searched eleven cities before. The temples have been destroyed. Will Taim's side really be of any use?"
"The city of Taim is the holy city of Wilso, and it is also the place where the oracle descended."
Captain Huni explained: "We have ruled out the largest city here, the oldest city, and the city listed by the gods... The Whistleblower has sacrificed all the gods. If He is not going to feed Himself to the swarm, then the temples and statues of Taim City must have a way to avoid the swarm."
"According to the information we have collected from the underground mysterious societies in various cities, the Whistleblower has been trying to control and summon the insect swarms through rituals and sacrifices, and to establish a connection with the Curse Master... He will not put himself in danger. The gods are always smart."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Rest complete, everyone, let's go."
The captain gave the order.
The Wolf Guards were tired and hungry, but they still supported their tired bodies.
I can't stop now, if I stop I will die.
…
In order to reduce consumption, everyone walked on all fours.
The captain took the lead.
Bezebub followed the captain and looked up at the moon above his head. The bright full moon had been stained by the black fog, and half of it was covered with strands of black lines, as if the moon had grown black hair to cover its face.
A total of four reconnaissance wings were sent to Wilso on this trip.
According to the orders from their superiors, they were a team sent by Wolf City to the Whistleblower's base camp behind enemy lines, cooperating with the Melancholy Goddess's death blockade to conduct local rebellion, sabotage, and create panic. The purpose was to put pressure on the Whistleblower, further divide him, and speed up the end of the war.
Bethel had two choices at the beginning: either go to the front battlefield of the [God-blessed Principality] or conduct guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines.
He chose the latter.
The survival rate for both missions is low, but the guerrilla mission is rated higher.
However, if he could save his life from the battlefield of death, Beelzebub would be able to retire as a brave officer, serve in the rear of Wolf City, and live a life without having to risk his life.
Now it seems that I can never go back to my hometown.
Live as long as you can.
Bethel walked in the moonlight, chewing a root in his mouth.
This is what soldiers do, fighting with their heads tied to their trouser pockets, and no one knows whether they will see the next moon.
So when you are watching something, it’s always a good idea to take a closer look.
Everyone rode non-stop, following the captain across bare fields and mountains, wading through muddy rivers where no fish could be seen, and finally arrived at the city of oracle.
Under the moonlight, there is a magnificent tower in the center of Taimu City. If you look closely, you can see that it is a temple, and the power of the fire of faith still lingers on it.
The surrounding city walls and the entire small city were created to protect the temple.
"The captain is right, there are no insect swarms in the temple of Taim City!"
“It’s intact indeed!”
Everyone was cheered up when they saw hope of survival.
"Stop and hide where you are."
The captain suddenly gave the order.
All the Wolf Guards immediately followed the order and lay down between the valley and the rocks.
Bethel looked around.
Behind the temple in the distance, a rock giant appeared at some point.
It has a cold face that looks like it was chiseled by a knife, and under the thick beard is a body of well-defined rock muscles.
The rock giant's fists flashed with golden light as he charged towards the temple.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Crash—
The tower-like temple quickly collapsed and shattered under its glowing fist, revealing the statue of the whistleblower inside - it looked like some evil statue left over from an old era, half human, with whistles inserted into its body, like a sinner suffering some kind of torture.
"What's going on? Where did the giant come from again..."
The Wolf Guards were shocked and frightened.
"I'll go take a look," said Captain Huni.
"I'll go." Bethel volunteered.
Others also spoke up: "Let's go together, Captain, we can't divide the manpower any more."
After hesitating for a moment, the captain agreed.
The group crawled forward and quickly reached the city wall.
Then everyone discovered that not only was there no insect swarm here, there were no guards either. It was empty and quiet, and the sound of falling gravel and whistling wind was particularly clear.
Bethel raised his head and looked through a collapsed low wall.
Then he saw a scene that he could not understand.
There is a rolling red mass in front of the Whistleblower statue. It looks like some kind of huge soft-bodied monster, or like constantly changing blood-red bubbles.
It was tightly held by a golden halo, and a long pointed spear pierced through the middle of its body, nailing it to the ground.
There were two large flat tops suspended above its head, and strong white light was projected from the two flying objects, which crossed and hit it, as if they were marking some kind of criminal.
The red shadow let out a panicked and desperate roar, causing Beelzebub's brain to buzz.
Captain Hu Ni murmured: "You can't look at it directly, you can't listen to it, it's so powerful that it can capture your heart... That's the divine body of the whistleblower!"
Beelzebub and the other Wolf Guards couldn't help but hold their breath.
Although they were behind enemy lines, they could infer from their own situation that the Whistleblower had used the swarm of insects to severely damage the Wolf God and the Goddess of Melancholy, and had turned defeat into victory.
Who was this god who suddenly appeared and nailed the whistleblower to the ground? Captain Huni's eyes were filled with excitement, and he punched the ground hard: "Flying boat, sky lantern... It's Yao God! He finally went crazy... No, he took action!"
"We are saved!"
