Chapter 207: The Land is Desolate (13)
This is because they haven't seen the appearance of these insects clearly. When these multi-legged insects are getting closer and closer to them, almost everyone has goosebumps all over their body.
Normally, the longest insects like this are only about the length of a little finger, but these mutated insects are not only as long as an arm, but also covered with strange circular patterns on their bodies. When looking at these patterns, it seems as if an eye is looking back at them. Just imagine, an insect as long as an arm, with many legs and eyes all over its back. Goosebumps are all over the floor. Lan Jin felt even more creepy, and his legs immediately went weak.
Of course, after seeing the mutant insect clearly, the others were not much better than Lan Jin. Almost everyone subconsciously took several steps back after seeing it.
"What the hell is this?"
Lan Jin frantically pulled Ling Jiang's sleeve and asked her to raise the ice level under her feet. She wanted to step on it, but Ling Jiang couldn't just leave Lan Jin alone. She was afraid of this thing herself.
When the two girls stood on the ice, Lao Gao cursed speechlessly: "You two are really good, please take care of us, we are scared too."
Ling Jiang had no choice. After cooperating with Huang Jinghe, a higher ice wall was erected. This ice wall could be used for people to stand behind and prepare for battle, or for people to stand on it and isolate themselves from the bugs. In short, it was enough to stay away from these bugs.
Seeing that the bugs were moving slowly and were still some distance away from them, Lao Gao immediately stepped forward, took out Cang Yan, and shot a fire-type sub-bow at the bugs.
You can beat them, but it's no use beating them one at a time against this group of bugs.
Then Lao Gao put away the Cang Yan and used his fire ability to burn the insects.
However, to their surprise, these insects were not afraid of fire. Not only that, they could move freely in the fire.
Lao Gao was stunned and quickly stepped back, saying, "You guys try it out. This bug isn't afraid of fire and won't burn to death. Try using other abilities to see if they work."
Lan Jin said mournfully, "There's no such thing as an insect that can't be burned to death. It's obvious that you didn't use your full strength."
Lao Gao looked at Lan Jin's red eyes and couldn't say anything about the grievance. "I tried my best. I'll try again."
After trying again, Lao Gao's fire ability really couldn't hurt these insects, but the fire sub-bow used by Cang Yan could penetrate the bodies of these insects.
Brother Zhang suddenly realized something, and took out the wooden gun from his waist and hit the bugs. The bugs that were hit fell down one by one and stopped moving.
The soldiers nearby followed suit, took out their own wooden magazines, and immediately dealt with the bugs.
But there were too many insects. Even if some of them could not move, some of them were still crawling forward.
But the direction they were crawling in didn't seem to be towards them, but rather towards the giant creature.
Huang Jinghe boldly guessed, "Could it be that these bugs want to save the big cat?"
Since no one knew what species the giant creature was, they simply called it a big cat, given that it had four legs, a tail and whiskers.
At this time, the big cat's eyes were fixed on the direction of the insects. It felt as if these insects were really here to save it.
Lao Gao asked, "How are these bugs going to save this big cat? Are they going to use their bodies to melt the ice outside?"
However, it was true, because these insects wrapped around the ice layer on the big cat one by one, as if they really wanted to melt it with their bodies.
And after one of them was cleared out by them, another movable insect would immediately crawl up to fill the position. In short, they would never allow even the slightest crack to appear in the ice.
But how can this be possible?
Not to mention that the sheer number of these bugs is disgusting enough, but if the big cats are released, they will have nowhere to hide.
Seeing this, Lan Jin used his lightning ability to sweep at the insects on the ice, and the entire layer of insects was swept away by lightning.
Seeing that the insects that had just been wrapped up disappeared in an instant, Lan Jin seemed to see the big cat grinning at her with an angry look, but when she looked carefully again, it seemed as if she had seen it wrong.
On the other side, Lan Jin also used his ice ability to freeze all the insects that were still crawling on the ice towards the big cat into ice cubes, and then reinforced the ice cubes of the big cat with another layer of ice, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
The sky had already turned dark at this time, and the temperature dropped suddenly. Oh, in fact, even if it didn't drop suddenly, Huang Jinghe's water ability could be used as an ice ability, because after his water was sprayed on these insects, gradually, the water formed layers of frost and then solidified into blocks.
Only after all the insects were frozen into ice cubes did Lan Jin carefully observe the surroundings and make sure that no one was left behind before she dared to walk down from the ice wall.
As soon as she came down, her legs went weak and she fell onto the ice. Ling Jiang hurried down to help her, but her legs also went weak and they both fell onto the ice.
Brother Zhang was speechless and hurried over to check on the situation. Seeing that the two men were not injured at all, he said, "I really don't understand you two. Well, the reinforcements should be here soon. Let's spend the night together. The four of you should get a good night's sleep. We'll officially enter the mountains tomorrow."
Lan Jin suddenly asked, "Is there this bug on the mountain too?"
Brother Zhang choked and said, "He really doesn't know about this, but it's normal to have insects on the mountain."
Seeing that Brother Zhang didn't say anything, Lan Jin suddenly felt a surge of despair. "Why haven't all the insects in this world died out yet? It's the end of the world, and the temperature is 40 or 50 degrees below zero. Why are they still alive?"
"It's normal. Aren't you alive too? Why can't other things be alive?" Brother Zhang retorted immediately. Of course, he didn't mean anything else, but these words really left Lan Jin speechless.
Ling Jiang smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, if we can survive, then others can survive too."
…
Before it got completely dark, the support troops had already arrived. Seeing the devastated ground and the damaged cars nearby, everyone's heart tightened.
Just when the rescue team thought they had been wiped out, Brother Zhang and his group rushed over. Seeing that the rescue team that came to rescue them was intact, he was even happier than the group, "Great, you arrived safely."
The man was stunned for a moment, then pointed at the people on the ground... Uh, "I should be the one to say this. That's great. You... don't seem to have any casualties."
Brother Zhang said, "Luckily they were here this time, otherwise we would have been stopped on the road right from the start."
