Hearing the words "insect swarm gathering", Du Shancheng, the deputy captain of the first battle group, jumped over several times in a row and said in a hurry:
"Cheng Han, when encountering insect swarms in the past, everyone would gather together to defend themselves.
"The Shenrong senses the gathering of virtual insects, and will activate its internal defense mechanism at the slightest moment, secreting a large amount of resin to block the insect swarm.
"As long as we maintain our defense for a while, the insect swarm will be afraid of being trapped in the resin and will soon disperse."
Cheng Han responded calmly: "There is no need to gather a crowd to defend."
Du Shancheng was anxious: "The insect swarm must have a war insect that is as powerful as a warrior. They can spray extremely toxic stingers, and a single team cannot fight against them.
"In the previous mission to clean up the Void Insects, most of the casualties were caused by the War Insects. The five battle groups had to gather together..."
Cheng Han interrupted: "According to my method, we can surround the insect swarm and eliminate at least 90% of them."
He felt in his heart that passive defense was really the last resort.
The swarm of insects gathered here on their own initiative, saving them the trouble of searching everywhere. Isn't this an achievement of being delivered to your doorstep?
Du Shancheng's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth: "Once the insect swarm appears, there will be at least a thousand or more, and there will be no less than fifty war insects.
"Sorry, I have to take responsibility for the soldiers of the First Chapter. I chose to withdraw from this operation. Our Chapter must focus on defense."
Cheng Han was startled for a moment, but didn't force it: "That's fine."
soon.
There is another bad news.
The deputy captain of the fourth battle group, Hu Liang, actually chose to quit.
Cheng Han was even more helpless.
Before leaving, Hu Liang even advised the Third Chapter and the Fifth Chapter to stay first and not risk their lives for the sake of merit.
Vice Captain Tiefeng said angrily: "Captain Fox, you just witnessed Cheng Han's methods with your own eyes. Even if you don't have confidence, why do you need to encourage other battle groups?"
Hu Liang said seriously: "I have seen with my own eyes how powerful the insect swarm is, and I don't think it is wise to confront them head-on."
Tiefeng said unceremoniously: "You don't have the ability to ride a horse, and you always think that others can't do it either."
Hu Liang's old face twitched and left.
Cheng Han didn't explain, but looked calm.
On the contrary, the leaders of the other two battle groups took the initiative to express their attitude.
The deputy captain of the third battle group, Gao Jiuqing, said very simply, but his attitude was very firm: "I believe in Cheng Han."
Qin Tingshu, the deputy captain of the fifth battle group, smiled and said: "I have also understood the Green Daphne Talisman, but I can't play Cheng Han's tricks. I'd better listen to Cheng Han."
Despite this, it is inevitable that people's hearts will become a little unstable.
Cheng Han sighed secretly and decided to go all out.
Based on the strong support of these people, he planned to let the two war groups earn a lot of battle points.
Cheng Han looked around at the faces, and his tone seemed to be always calm: "Everyone, I have just developed a way to communicate with the handles of the spiritual leaves, so that I can keep track of the movements of the insect swarms at any time."
He immediately gave proof.
"boom!"
Cheng Han stepped on the ground.
A wonderful change happened immediately.
Thin brown vines sprouted from the ground and soon formed a long passage of the Spirit Leaf Handle.
This is clearly a model.
There was a commotion in the crowd.
Because this model is so similar.
Tiefeng gave a thumbs up: "Awesome!"
The other two captains nodded together.
The passage is so complicated that it would be difficult for a casual warrior to understand the whole picture even if he walked through it.
And this talented young man used a few tricks to restore the entire passage. How could he not be admired?
"Snapped!"
Cheng Han snapped his fingers towards a luminous plant again.
A lot of fluorescent dust floated into the channel model and wandered in every corner.
He once again used a special method. The dust floated into the pipe and was invisible to the naked eye, but everyone could easily sense it.
Cheng Han explained: "Every bit of dust represents a void insect."
This scene once again surprised a group of people.
Even a fool can figure out the benefits of fully grasping the location of the insect swarm.
Cheng Han sighed with regret: "I originally planned to wipe out this group of virtual insects, but now that there are sixty soldiers missing, I'm afraid I can only kill half of them at most."
If he had just said that, most people present would not believe it.
But now with the model in front of them, everyone believed it 100%.
Tiefeng scolded him directly: "Du Shancheng and Hu Liang are two people who fail to succeed but fail!"
Cheng Han smiled and comforted: "It doesn't matter, the virtual insects are still in the handle of the spiritual leaf. As long as you spend a little more time, you can find them sooner or later."
Gao Jiuqing said directly: "Cheng Han, without further ado, let me give the orders."
Cheng Han was not polite: "Okay!"
He picked up his flower basket, blurted out orders one after another, and distributed batches of seeds.
In this battle, these seeds also play an important role.
*
At this moment.
In a cave hundreds of meters away.
The First Battle Group and the Fourth Battle Group united together and shrank here, intending to jointly resist the incoming swarm of insects.
The atmosphere in the cave seemed a bit solemn.
The two deputy captains, Du Shancheng and Hu Liang, were observing the movement outside and discussing in low voices.
"Such a large insect swarm numbering in the thousands is really not that easy to deal with. I hope that nothing happens to other war groups."
"A lone virtual insect is completely different from a swarm of insects. Cheng Han has little experience and doesn't know the power of it."
"Everyone regards him as a genius, which is a bit exaggerated."
The other soldiers listened to the discussion with different expressions.
Some were disapproving, some were expressionless, and some were in agreement.
At this time.
A senior team leader who understood the green coriander talisman stretched out his right palm and pressed it against the cave wall to sense movement in the distance and shouted: "The insect swarm is approaching!"
The cave fell silent for an instant.
Du Shancheng waved his right hand and shouted: "Block the cave!"
The two teams of warriors quickly rushed forward and lined up in two rows. Each held a large black shield and blocked the three-meter-wide hole tightly.
The other warriors raised their short spears without any instructions, ready to attack at any time.
A few seconds later.
"Squeak! Squeak!"
Several strange insect sounds came over.
The swarm is approaching!
A few more seconds passed.
The buzz of insects quickly expanded and turned into a tidal wave.
"Squeak! Squeak!"
"Squeak! Squeak!"
There were also strange and angry shouts mixed in among them.
"Kill all the Wanhao people!"
"Destroy the banyan tree and take back our home!"
soon.
A swarm of insects appeared below.
This cave was well chosen. It is located on a higher ground and has only two beams leading to the cave.
However, the beam was completely bare, with no cover at all.
If the insect swarm wants to get close, it will be attacked intensively by short spears and will inevitably suffer huge losses.
soon.
The swarm launched its first wave of probing attacks.
A group of extraordinarily large void insects, covered with spiked carapace, suddenly rushed out from the corner.
Their tails were raised like scorpions, and they sprayed a stream of light green gas at the hole.
"Woo~woo~"
A sharp whimper sounded.
A black shadow instantly passed dozens of meters away and hit a row of large shields.
"Dang! Dang!"
The sound sounded particularly dense.
It's the sting.
Du Shanguo shouted decisively: "Attack!"
The black-armored army immediately displayed a set of exquisite coordination.
The large shield blocking the door suddenly dispersed.
at the same time.
A group of soldiers seized the opportunity and waved their right arms together.
"Woo~woo~"
A row of short guns flew out of the air.
The next moment.
The shield wall closed again, just in time to block the second batch of stingers shot by the insect swarm.
"Dang! Dang!"
There was another rainstorm of knocks.
There were no casualties on our side.
On the opposite side of the battle, three heads were shot and the other three were injured.
The soldiers were not happy.
Because there are too many insects.
The senior captain in charge of "monitoring" reported the numbers with a serious face: "Captain Du, the number of insects surrounding us is probably no less than 1,300."
Du Shancheng was surprised: "So many?!"
Hu Liang's face didn't look good either: "There will only be more insect swarms attacking the other three groups. Doesn't that mean there are at least three thousand virtual insects?"
The senior team was reporting another piece of bad news: "The swarm of insects is crawling over from below, and it seems they intend to chew their way out of the cave wall."
The words just fell.
"Zi~Zi~"
There was a gnawing sound.
The sound was so dense that every warrior could feel the cave shaking slightly.
Du Shancheng tried to reassure people: "The cave wall is so thick that they won't be able to chew through it in a short time. The sacred banyan tree will secrete resin after a while, so don't worry."
The senior team member frowned.
This person has participated in several missions to eliminate void insects. When the banyan tree intends to secrete resin, the green coriander talisman will definitely sense it.
But he didn't feel anything at the moment.
how so?
Could it be that something happened inside the Spirit Leaf's Handle?
The senior team was sighing secretly and did not leak the news.
But he knew that the news would never be kept secret for long.
After the buzzing sound lasted for three minutes, someone finally noticed something was wrong.
"Why hasn't the banyan tree secreted resin yet?"
"Something's wrong! Such a large insect swarm would ooze resin in two minutes."
The atmosphere became uncontrollably panicked.
Du Shancheng's face suddenly became extremely ugly as he listened to the discussion.
He decided to lead the team and leave before, just to protect the soldiers of the first battle group.
But judging from the current situation, doing so has put the war group into a desperate situation.
*
the other side.
Inside another cave.
The operation presided over by Cheng Han was completely different.
He led ninety soldiers to fight a guerrilla war against the insect swarm.
Logically speaking, this is impossible.
Void insects can crawl quickly on walls. In the complex environment of the Spirit Leaf Handle, they are more flexible than the Black Armored Army soldiers.
But Cheng Han did it.
Because he has mastered the real unique skill.
"Snapped!"
Cheng Han patted the cave wall.
More than a hundred thick vines quickly descended and blocked a cave.
A group of void insects chased them from around the corner and were blocked by the vines.
The two teams of soldiers in charge of the rear waved their right arms in unison.
"Woo! Woo!"
The short spear flew out from the gap in the vines and accurately shot a small group of insects.
"boom!"
Cheng Han stepped on the ground again.
The cave actually squirmed like plasticine, and the cave wall next to it decomposed into vines, revealing a large hole.
A large group of people around, although it was not the first time they saw it, still looked surprised.
Several warriors who understood the green coriander talisman also felt ashamed.
The ability to control and change the cave is far beyond their level.
These people couldn't even imagine how this was done.
Cheng Han waved his hand: "Everyone, let's go!"
He took the lead and walked into it and began to move to the next place.
*
ten minutes later.
Cheng Han stopped and laughed: "The trap is set!"
See it from God’s perspective.
It can be clearly seen that a swarm of more than 1,400 large insects followed the black armored army in seven circles and was trapped in an area.
Cheng Han quietly moved many hands and feet, greatly changing the terrain of the area and turning it into a maze.
Tie Feng couldn't wait to ask: "Can we start?"
Cheng Han nodded: "Of course!"
He slapped his hands hard.
"Snapped!"
This sound contained strange power.
In the trap area, the wooden caves, walls, and spiral columns all began to secrete a translucent light green liquid.
The virtual insect's feet were stained with liquid, and it instantly lost the ability to cling to the wall. It began to slip from time to time when walking, and its flexibility was greatly reduced.
Controlling the secretion of oil from the stems of spiritual leaves is another key ability developed by Cheng Han.
Other warriors can only wait for the wood to secrete passively, but he can control it independently.
The ability to freely change the terrain and control oil secretion are his two trump cards that give him the confidence to defeat the insect swarm.
Cheng Han sensed it for a moment and shouted: "Start killing the insects!"
He paused and then added: "We only have ten minutes to kill as many as we can, and then we have to go to the rescue, otherwise not many of them will survive."
A group of people responded in unison.
"yes!"
"clear!"
Cheng Han walked dozens of meters and patted the wall.
"boom!"
This section of the wall actually collapsed.
A group of warriors were already prepared and threw out the seeds in their hands.
The seeds burst into large wisps of vines in the air and attacked the swarm of insects on the opposite side.
The void insects were caught off guard, and their mobility was greatly reduced, so most of them were entangled.
"Woo! Woo!"
A large piece of short spear flew out and penetrated the insect's body.
A one-sided massacre began.
Under normal circumstances, it would be completely impossible for ninety Black Armored Army soldiers to fight against such a large swarm of insects.
But Cheng Han's careful layout not only turned it into reality, but also gave the Black Armor Army an overwhelming advantage.
*
ten minutes later.
More than eight hundred virtual insects were killed.
The remaining bugs gnawed their way through and fled.
Cheng Han issued another instruction at the right time: "Attention, everyone, rescue the first battle group and the fourth battle group!"
Based on the results of his communication with the Spirit Leaf Handle, the situation over there is not too good.
The swarm of insects gnawed frantically for more than ten minutes and were about to gnaw through the cave.
Two other Black Armored Army soldiers were slightly injured.
Du Shancheng and Hu Liang were discussing whether to force a breakout.
The result of the discussion between these two idiots was that they tended to agree.
This will undoubtedly put more people at risk.
