"Fire guns have little effect on insect shells; they are still able to move after repeated killings." "Gunpowder explosions and fierce fire burning are more effective." "Destroying carapace, sticks and hammers are better than swords and axes." "Insects are parasitic, Even if the limbs are severed and the torso is cut in half, the person will still survive; the head and spine need to be cut off.”
"Scale armor and willow leaf armor have insufficient protection against insect leg thorns;" "Plate armor and chest armor, although they are punctured, mostly only damage the skin and flesh." "The speed of the aliens is too fast, and the daggers affect the vision." "Shallow Scarlet Poison. Wherever the fog passes, the land is rotten and withered, and people and animals are parched and cracked, which can only be cured by fire."
As a trainee scribe with the army, Ning Yi also quickly recorded this process with charcoal on a wooden folder; in fact, he accepted this change in identity and mentality faster than he originally expected; and An Ran After the initial observation period, I got this position.
Therefore, as the military scribe, he is responsible for witnessing and recording the words, deeds and tactical performance of his team when they are in battle, the characteristics of aliens encountered and the corresponding methods and experiences and lessons learned; Compile a regular log.
Therefore, although he received some short-term physical and martial arts training, it was not for the need to directly participate in the war; it only provided some self-protection capabilities so as not to become a drag and burden on other people; even when encountering a major threat , able to escape first with the news.
According to the organization of laymen and horses belonging to Xijingli Xingyuan, under the five battalions are the combat units of regiment, brigade, team and fire. Also because he has received at least one round of bloodline stimulation/body strengthening, the individual soldier's strength is enough to compete with ordinary ghosts in the beast disaster without falling behind.
Usually, a fire (9+1) sergeant can rely on equipment and formation coordination to easily fight and suppress the mutant beasts in the wild, or larger ferocious beasts, exotic beasts, and the like. But when it comes to the team level (38+3), there is a clear differentiation, with emphasis on firearms and heavy armor and long soldiers.
They are divided into light and plain clothes scout fire, mobile fire with one man and two horses, all armored, equipped with muskets and grenades; support fire equipped with chariots and horses, heavy armored soldiers, wheel-mounted artillery carts, flying fire mines and other heavy equipment. There are also several exclusive cars and ships with doctors and craftsmen providing maintenance guarantees.
Coupled with the accompanying warriors and navy sergeants, an optimized combination of some lay sergeants and some expert team members; therefore, this also ensures that the capture fleet going south can make relatively flexible use of existing resources and more accurately respond to the needs of the places along the way. Various emergencies and abnormal situations.
On the other hand, it is because the imperial court has just approved and promulgated an internal version called "Illustration of Monsters and Monsters"; thus, the monsters and mutations that have been discovered will be summarized according to the degree of threat and many characteristics and details. They are classified into several categories: "beasts, ghosts, aliens, monsters, spirits, and demons".
Among them, beasts refer to domestic animals and wild beasts that have mutated or become deformed after changes in the celestial phenomena. They are also the most numerous and least threatening. Most of them rely on local government or local self-defense forces. It can be easily dealt with or expelled or hunted.
Ghosts mainly refer to ghost people, that is, those who actively accept blood pollution and changes in order to obtain extraordinary strength and ability, and become abnormal forms; compared with beasts that most of the time rely on instinctive activities, these people Ghost people who have retained considerable mental capacity are even more harmful.
Then there are the aliens, which generally refers to all the aliens that suddenly appeared in various places in the world after the change of the celestial sphere; their essence is that they belong to the species that have penetrated and invaded this world from outside. Therefore, there are equally good and bad among them, and the upper and lower limits are very different; but the common feature is that they are living creatures that can reproduce.
Among them, the earliest ones to be successfully captured, such as spiny-haired giant rats, small spider beasts, and scaly snakes, have been successfully bred in Xijingli Xingyuan, specifically to provide materials such as fur, sharp teeth, and spikes; spider silk and carapace. ; and special ingredients such as paralysis, coagulation, and digestive toxins.
Compared with aliens, they are still understandable life forms; monsters are a collection of various abnormal existences; such as walking corpses and skeletons wandering in the wild, large trees that wrap their roots around living creatures to suck blood; and even things like Cordyceps sinensis is generally an insect and fungus that parasitizes in living objects.
Elves and demons represent the very few existences that pose the greatest threat; just when their bodies appear in the world, they will instinctively continue to pollute the surrounding environment, or be accompanied by mutations in the surrounding areas; leading to the corresponding range of All kinds of deformities and mutations occur in the creatures of water and soil.
The only specific difference is that the fey themselves are relatively fixed and rooted in a certain place; they rely on the manipulation of other infected and alienated creatures to hunt. Demons, on the other hand, are more mobile and more harmful in reality; they will also drive some living creatures that are affected and controlled.
For example, the Linwu Cave on the Xishan Island in Taihu Lake was polluted and alienated by large-scale mycelium and miasma, which was a typical fey trouble. The giant maggot monster encountered on Maoshan Mountain this time, its epiphytic corpses, and the accompanying red mist are typical characteristics of monsters.
In addition, in this "Monster Catalog", there is actually a special category of "ghost/charm" listed; that is, there are very few supernatural beings that lack physical entities. For example, in the fog, ghost bodies will respond to the sound of human voices to lure them closer, and in caves, they will smoke and absorb the charm of warmth.
In this way, it is convenient for local officials to define the degree of harm and the scope of influence of specific incidents, so as to avoid more losses and harm caused by temporary carelessness and rashness; it is also convenient to concentrate resources to respond to real threats first, rather than in vain. Wasted in the turbulent running.
In fact, although the miasma from the Taihu Lake Basin to Tianmu Mountain is caused by hidden spirits and monsters, it is mostly caused by man-made disasters. Among local officials, there are some who specifically induce the surrounding people and people, and even deceive traveling businessmen into entering the miasma. And then seek to seize his property.
They even used the threat of the spread of the miasma as an excuse to drive the surrounding people away from their homes where they had lived for generations; even some wealthy families were not spared. Others began to try to create smoke that was suspected of being miasmatic, to intimidate and drive away local families, and to try to buy off their fields and houses at low prices.
He also participated in the investigation. Some local officials used the suspicion of monsters to extort money from local wealthy households and businessmen; Party, in order to falsely claim credit and political achievements;
There are also some wealthy families who secretly feed monsters, or collude with the remnants of the animal worship cult, and then drive them to attack and kill the wealthy families they like. With a good-hearted appearance, he takes the opportunity to invade the family property.
Therefore, whenever something like this happens, Shangxian, who is suspected to be an immortal, will personally take action and participate in the judgment with the authority of the censor patrolling the river. He will also use the excuse of troubled times to bypass the local officials who are likely to be lenient. All the officials and people involved in the case will be punished.
Although such things are only a few cases, the influence and shock caused in Jiangnan is much more intense than the suppression of a larger number of monsters and abnormal incidents. So much so that it became known to everyone in the south of the Yangtze River that demon-catching censors came from all the southeastern provinces and thought they hated evil as much as they hated it.
But for Ning Yi, who had just become a member of his subordinates, he couldn't help but feel proud; what's more, he had witnessed many legends with his own eyes, whether it was a stone man like an ancient giant spirit or a monster with long legs as huge as a palace. ; Or fighting against a mountain of corpses being delivered.
Even the miraculous means of being able to save people from the brink of death and reattach severed limbs as long as they still have one breath; compared with the merits of participating in saving people from fire and water, the personal intrigues and loves and hates that he has always been obsessed with before Love and hatred seem too superficial and thin now.
While Ning Yi was thinking about it, in the ruins of Huayang Palace, under the seal of the ice storage warehouse that had been pried open with great efforts, tentacles suddenly erupted one after another, an indescribable stench; it smoked most of the people present. Scattered away. As the stench dissipated slightly, several figures staggered out.
"Uncle Yin Ming, is that you? Uncle Yin Ming!" A young Taoist priest who originally belonged to Huayang Palace couldn't help but rush forward and shouted to the face of a survivor with unkempt face and messy beard and hair: "You are not the same as Did Senior Brother Xuanji, Master Taiyuan and the others escape down the mountain together?"
"Qi Xiu...you're here..." The other party also seemed to recognize this young disciple, and said in a hoarse and difficult voice like sandpaper: "Xuanji...Xuanji...that evil thief!" At this point, he said Suddenly he raised his head, which was covered by his disheveled beard and hair, and made a strange sound.
His skinny face was revealed, and it quickly swelled, turned red and tightened, and then exploded in an instant as his skin was torn apart. He was also so shocked that Xiaodao Qixiu, who was close at hand and wanted to support him, fell to the ground; but he also escaped the fatal attack from several fleshy tendrils that burst out from the headless neck cavity.
These blood-red and white tendrils were circling and waving like fans, instantly cutting off Taoist Qi Xiu's bun, along with a small piece of scalp; they were scattered all over the sky. The headless body and limbs of "Uncle Yinming Master" also quickly deformed into insect-like sickle legs.
As soon as he stood on the ground and ran away, he took advantage of the situation and repaired the inexplicable path. He fell on his back and screamed miserably. But the next moment, the insect-turned headless corpse, which was about to feast on a meal, was thrown by a three-pointed steel fork that was whizzing and thrown, rolling and nailing it to the ground in the middle; splashing out a dark red and green.
But it was one of the expert team members who was on site to take action. As a master who had been strengthened by blood for more than two rounds, he flew over almost flawlessly, holding a sawtooth sword made from the mouthparts of a spider beast; he cut the insect-turned corpse that was about to struggle out. , split vertically in the middle into two large slices of liver and brain.
At the same time, a dozen people who came out of the snow storage warehouse below were also struck on the legs, pinched, and thrown to the ground by the sergeants present; their limbs were imprisoned with steel rings nailed into the ground. Then he used the tip of a sharp dagger to cut open the muscles on his back and tore out a living mass.
It also immediately stopped the mutation process of others. However, several people still died after their heads were split open by foreign objects from the inside out; the rest who were lucky enough to survive were basically in a high paraplegic state with severely eroded and damaged spines, and they passed out from the pain on the spot.
At this time, Jiang Tian had already descended into the snow storage warehouse, which was full of messes and filth. He immediately saw a huge hole dug out on the innermost stone wall; as well as the walls and ceiling inside the hole, as if The fleshy tendrils squirming and wandering like snake-like shadows...
