At dawn, the grain transport team finally arrived at the Acropolis, closed the city gate tightly, and rested quietly in the city with the help of the fortifications of the city wall.
The principle of resting during the day is to not make any noise and not attract the attention of passing insects.
The walls of the Acropolis are far less tall and strong than those of the Star City. If an army of insects really appears and targets this place, it will be impossible to defend it with only these two thousand people! Therefore, the main function of the city wall is not actually defense, but to block sight and sound insulation, so that insects do not notice that there are people here and think that this is still an empty city from before!
People rested quietly in the Acropolis. After a night of rapid march, they were almost paralyzed by exhaustion and basically fell down. For a while, except for the snoring one after another, no sound could be heard in the city.
Dugu Lan slept until the afternoon. She took a deep breath, stretched out, and walked out of the house. She saw her brother Dugu Chen, shirtless, practicing his sword in the open space.
At this moment, the muscles all over his body were knotted, blue veins popped out, his skin was purple, his eyes and temples were bulging, like a man-eating monster!
"Brother, when did you wake up?" Dugulan walked up and said softly.
Seeing his sister coming, Dugu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his whole body. The muscles and joints on his body made a crackling sound and soon deflated, and his skin color returned to normal.
"About half an hour..." Dugu Chen said with a smile, and took a sweat towel to wipe his body: "Everyone is still awake, so I will move around by myself! I haven't encountered any bugs in the past few days, and I haven't wielded the knife much. I feel a little uncomfortable."
"I just saw your posture, has Beng Jin improved again?" Dugulan said with a smile: "I see your current ability, brother, with the sword in hand, you may not lose against the Purple Gold War Insect!"
"It's better not to take such a risk!" Dugu Chen shook his head: "I still know myself! Although my Dugu family's Bengjin Kung Fu can greatly increase strength by changing the body shape, the body's endurance is still limited. If I can’t kill the enemy quickly and it takes too long, I’m afraid I’ll collapse first!”
"Isn't Bengjin all like this?" Dugu Lan pouted and said: "That Feng Xi's Feng family's Kung Fu is not as powerful as ours, and it only lasts a while longer than our Dugu family's Kung Fu. The last time we competed, it was even more powerful." It’s not that she deliberately dragged me around and pushed my strength to the limit, the result may not be the same!"
Duguchen smiled and shook his head: "You may not be who you are now, but you were definitely no match for Feng Xi back then!"
"Why?!" Dugulan said dissatisfied.
"The Feng family's Kung Fu has the ultimate move of disintegration!" Dugu shook his head and said, "The Feng family's Kung Fu, except for its slightly stronger endurance, cannot compare to my Dugu family's Kung Fu in terms of strength and explosive power. Why are we called the same as us? Just relying on the final killing move, if they initiate disintegration, their physical fitness will be raised to an inhuman level. At the same time, their lives will be greatly overdrawn. Overuse may even make their bodies burn. For ashes!”
"Will it still be like this?" Dugulan asked in surprise.
"This is what my father told me!" Duguchen said with a smile: "Years ago, my father was just like you now. He was very brave and fierce. He was dissatisfied with the name of the Feng family. He once approached the then head of the Feng family, Feng Xi. My grandfather competed with me in martial arts. In the end, the old man really lost to my father and handed over the title of No. 1 in the world..."
"I've heard about this!" Dugulan said, "That's why I don't accept that Feng Xi! His General Feng is no match for my father!"
"But later, when the Zerg attacked, my father also went north to fight against the Zerg. I was fortunate to fight side by side with General Feng again. That time, in order to fight against the aliens and cover the people's retreat, General Feng activated the disintegration, held an iron gun, and killed on the spot. Killed several purple gold war insects! Finally, they burned out their lives and turned into ashes, scattered on the battlefield..."
"It was this scene that infected my father, and he fought tooth and nail against the Zerg on the battlefield in Jiangnan..." At this point, Duguchen's eyes revealed sadness.
"Is there such a thing?" Dugulan's expression showed fascination. She looked up at the sky, seeming to be remembering her father and the old General Feng...
But suddenly, her eyes changed from nostalgia to horror!
Because she saw six flying insects flying over the Acropolis!
"Brother..." Dugu Lan pulled Dugu Chen. Dugu Chen looked up and saw this scene. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. He just hoped that these insects would fly by silently and didn't notice the situation in the fortress!
From the looks of it, the bugs didn't seem to notice anything unusual, they were just passing by... Seeing these six bugs flying over the city, the brother and sister breathed a sigh of relief...
But then, these six bugs seemed to have dropped something, and circled back again, hovering over the Acropolis!
"Discovered!"
The brother and sister suddenly felt a rush of cold air from their heels to the top of their heads. Duguchen shouted: "Quick, Xiaolan, shoot them down!"
Dugulan's big bow is too long and cannot be held in her hand at all times. She usually carries a short bow with her. It has also been treated with special technology and has amazing pulling power and excellent elasticity! She immediately drew her bow, nocked an arrow, and shot it toward the sky! With a whoosh, he accurately hit an insect, directly piercing his skull and knocking it out!
The other insects immediately retreated upon seeing this, and Dugu Lan quickly shot. With the sound of the bow string collapsing, one flying insect fell down one after another, but in the end, one escaped from the shooting range!
"That damn bug must have gone back to report!" Duguchen gritted his teeth and said, "Quickly, tell everyone to get up and prepare to face the enemy!"
The brother and sister immediately woke up the sleeping soldiers. When everyone heard that the insects were coming, they all woke up instantly. They immediately put on their helmets, picked up their weapons, climbed up the city wall, and got ready for battle.
But as soon as they climbed to the top of the city, these soldiers showed desperate expressions!
I saw a dense army of insects coming from the west!
That scale was larger and stronger than any army that had attacked Star City before!
Ordinary mantis monsters can't be seen at a glance, spreading here like the rising tide of the sea. The swarm of insects is also mixed with purple gold war insects that are one size larger. They are round and self-exploding insects with stomachs full of acid. They can release sharp spikes far away. Poison arrow bugs that attack from a distance...
As for the huge, glittering golden beetles, there are dozens of them!
Apart from these, the most eye-catching thing is the giant centipede monster!
In the past few months, insect swarms have been attacking the city almost every day, but the Dugu brothers and sisters have seen centipede monsters appear so many times that they can count them on one hand, and there was only one at a time! Presumably, these huge insect monsters consume a lot of energy. They need a lot of food and rest to move out, and they can't be used easily.
But this time, there were five centipede monsters alone in the vast sea of insects! And one of them is one size larger than the others, with bigger fangs, longer claws, thicker carapace, and sharp spikes and blades on the top of its head, making it more than twice as big! It's obviously an advanced version of the Centipede Monster!
In the world of cold weapons, even one of these prehistoric behemoths can be called a natural disaster!
"When I was guarding the Sunset Fortress, I never saw this formation..."
A veteran who returned from Sunset Fortress swallowed his saliva and trembled all over. The appearance of this insect swarm brought back the most desperate memories in his heart!
