Three hours later.
The land battle tank, covered in insect blood, dragged the truck back to the mountain behind Mine No. 7.
After stopping the car, Chen Wangping jumped off the tank, kicked away the insect legs stuck on the tank, and reached out to untie the towing hook.
Xiao Yuan also jumped out of the car and said with lingering fear: "My benefactor, if it weren't for your tank, we would definitely not be able to break through the encirclement today."
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Yes, these bugs are too crazy. They are willing to risk their lives to rush forward. Even iron tires can't stop them!"
Chen Wangping smiled and pointed at the tank tracks and said, "Now you know why I drive a tank. It's to release these bugs."
Xiao Yuan walked over and touched the tracks with envy, "This big thing is called a tank? How impressive."
Chen Wangping smiled and said, "Alright, you guys just clean up here. There's no rush to mine today. The giant guard robots are here, so you can rest up and catch up on some sleep. I cleared out the bugs nearby this morning, and I still have to go to Fire Bull City. You guys can wait for me to come back tonight to make arrangements."
Xiao Yuan nodded and said, "I will listen to you, benefactor. We will have a good rest and be ready for mining at any time."
Chen Wangping waved his hand. The water and electricity had already been taken over, so there was no need to prepare anything now.
He returned to the base and added the volcanic jet worm bones to the creation process of the two capsules.
Since this thing increases the effect of gas-type equipment, the deceleration capsule and the toxic capsule are also gas-type, so they should be effective.
After completing the arrangements, Chen Wangping put away the tank, called the Golden Eagle, and rushed towards Huoniu City.
Before he even got close to the Fire Bull City, he saw a massive swarm of insects gathering around it. The scale of this swarm was much more serious than those near the mines or the volcanic tribe. Hundreds of insects gathered in each place, densely packed, and madly drilled into the Fire Bull City.
Fortunately, the Fire Bull City had also activated the formation at this time. Layers of bright red light enveloped the area around the Fire Bull City, continuously resisting the insect tide. What was strange was that when the formation closed in, it would bring back some insect corpses. After swallowing them, some fire bull phantoms would appear from time to time on the formation, charging towards the insect tide and killing a group of insects. The effect was quite good.
Chen Wangping heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this. He shouted to the golden eagle to fly directly above the formation, took out the communicator and called Tang Xihe.
The communication was connected, and Tang Xihe's voice came first: "Is that you on the big formation? I think I saw a golden eagle."
Chen Wangping waved his hand and nodded, "It's me. I was worried about the situation in Huoniu City, so I came here to take a look. It seems to be doing well now."
Tang Xihe said helplessly: "Come down first, it's not bad at all, my uncle's wife has already taken it out and used it."
As he spoke, a hole opened above the Fire Bull City formation, just big enough for the golden eagle to enter.
Chen Wangping told the golden eagle to enter through the opening. When passing through, he could feel the extremely high temperature of the formation next to the opening, and he could feel the burning sensation before even touching it.
No wonder it can block so many insects. The temperature alone is enough to burn a lot of insects to death.
After entering, he found that the hole closed by itself, which was very interesting. He smiled and said, "It seems that uncle has a lot of good things in his hands."
Tang Xihe continued on the communicator: "My uncle and I are both in the inner city's City Lord's Mansion. You should come over and discuss it."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Wangping looked around and found that the residents in Huoniu City seemed to be in even greater panic. Every household had their doors tightly closed, and even those who were walking on the streets were in a hurry, looking as if they were preparing to return home and defend the city.
On the contrary, on the city wall, the guards, led by the team leader, were using the power of the formation to fight back against the insects. The results were pretty good, and each attack could take the lives of dozens of insects.
After arriving at the inner city, Chen Wangping walked to the City Lord's Mansion. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw a formation plate with a fire bull image printed on it floating in the air. Countless red silk threads were scattered on it. These threads were connected to the Fire Bull City Formation, continuously providing energy to the formation.
It looked good, but Tang Huoniu, who was standing beside the formation, had a very ugly expression on his face. He gritted his teeth and looked at the insects outside the city. Seeing Chen Wangping approaching, he said directly, "These people in the Spirit Hall are simply crazy. If I weren't strong enough, I wouldn't even be able to activate the Huoniu formation. Huoniu City would definitely have fallen by now."
Chen Wangping shook his head and said, "Except for Fire Bull City, the rest of the settlements are probably gone. The Spirit Hall has covered the entire area around Fire Bull City this time. Once the insects entangle it, even a group of relic hunters will be unable to escape. Uncle, do you have enough energy? This is the entire Fire Bull City."
Tang Huoniu sighed and said, "The energy in here is a valuable resource I've been saving for over twenty years. I originally wanted to save it for my breakthrough to level six, but now I have no choice but to use it first. Based on the scale this morning, it should have lasted a month or so, but now there are more and more bugs, and the impact is several times greater than before. If this continues, I might not be able to hold out for five days."
Chen Wangping said, "Then why not organize people to kill a batch? These bugs didn't grow overnight. It takes time to recover. Killing a batch will reduce a lot of pressure."
Tang Xihe raised her arms helplessly, and Chen Wangping saw that there was some blood on her arms and legs, obviously from a battle.
She explained, "No one. The other forces in the city have been almost wiped out by Fang Bie. There are few people left. And now Fang Bie is dead, there is no one to resist. Xiao Fang went with the guards to kill insects this morning. I also participated, but there were too many insects. I was exhausted from killing them all, and the number of insects kept increasing."
At this moment, a guard suddenly ran in and shouted, "Oh no, City Lord, there are many glittering insects in the North Outer City. They seem to be unafraid of the heat and are rushing towards the Fire Bull City despite the intense heat of the formation. Two of them have already rushed in, and we haven't dealt with them yet."
Tang Xihe immediately said, "I'll go over and take a look. We can't let the bugs get into the city. Once they start to get out of control, it will be even more difficult to control them. We don't know what kind of bugs they are, and they're not even afraid of high temperatures."
When Chen Wangping heard what the guard said, he felt a little anxious.
North Outer City?
My home in Huoniu City is in the North Outer City.
Although he no longer lives there, he is actually still worried in his heart.
What were the identities of the original owner's parents? How could the contracted mine produce two pieces of coal? And since they were able to find the beast claw key that Tang Huoniu and the Second Palace Master desperately needed, how could they have died inexplicably in the ruins?
With so many mysteries left to be solved, that home cannot be destroyed.
He walked over to Tang Xihe and said, "No matter what kind of bug it is, it's dead if you kill it."
