Chapter 2538 Heavy Casualties
Lu Li quietly retreated. The people outside formed a defensive formation. There were many injured people surrounded in the middle, all of whom were recovering from their injuries. Lu Li retreated from the circle, sat cross-legged on the ground, activated the traces of the avenue, and sensed the situation around him.
"Everyone, be careful underground!" After a moment, Lu Li's heart moved, and he shouted: "There are savages coming out of the underground!"
Just as Lu Li's loud shout rang out, the ground around everyone exploded, and then countless savages flew out, and small white bone arrows flew across the sky, like a rain of arrows.
Despite Lu Li's warning, countless people were still hit immediately. Thousands of savages rushed out, all shooting small white arrows at the same time. They had no way to escape and could only resist.
If divine power could be used here, Lu Li believed that there would be no pressure to suppress this group of savages, and everyone could easily eliminate them. The chaos of divine power has caused everyone's speed, attack power, and defense to be greatly reduced. Not everyone has valuable treasures.
Lu Li punched out his fist continuously, knocking away more than a dozen small white arrows. He glanced at it and his heart sank. Of the tens of thousands gathered here, two to three thousand died in just one attack. In addition to the people who died in the forest just now, the number of dead now has reached six to seven thousand. It is estimated that there were casualties. The number of people will increase.
"Everyone rush over and attack them at close range!"
Someone shouted deeply, and some of the Five Tribulations strong men shot away. Since the savages released long-range attacks, it would be better for them to get close.
"kill!"
Countless people roared and rushed towards the savages, otherwise they would be targets here and would be killed by the endless stream of small white arrows. Under the threat of death, everyone became violent and rushed madly.
This impact caused the savages' formation to become chaotic, and the two sides began to engage in hand-to-hand combat. Some of the savages put away their white bone bows and took out white bone sticks. Some savages rushed into the ground, emerged from the ground in the distance, and continued shooting from a distance.
The close attacks of the savages were indeed much weaker. Many savages were killed, but more warriors were shot dead. Some savages shot small arrows continuously in the distance.
The battle lasted for half a stick of incense and ended after Layman Hanshan led his men to fight out. The savages should have good intelligence. After seeing Hanshan layman and others rushing out, a taller savage let out a sharp roar, and then all the savages rushed into the ground and disappeared.
Hanshan layman did not lead anyone to pursue him. His spiritual thoughts cannot be explored here, and it would be even more dangerous if he went underground. Hanshan layman just ordered everyone to squat in place to heal their wounds and bury those who died.
This time there were heavy casualties. There were more than 16,000 people here, but now there are less than 7,000 people left, and nearly 10,000 people died. This was only the first confrontation with the savages, and the savages dispatched less than 10,000 people. This time it was considered a huge defeat.
The main reason for the defeat was that the divine power here could not be used too much, and the combat effectiveness of everyone was severely reduced. Even the Hanshan layman himself said that his combat effectiveness could only be used at 30 to 40%.
The Savage's attack method is simple, but very effective. There are too many Four Tribulations warriors here, the warriors are too dense, and the penetrating power of the small white bone arrows is also strong. Someone will be hit by just shooting.
Seeing those who died, the remaining people felt miserable in their hearts, as if they had seen their future. Everyone need not think too much that the remaining groups must have been attacked by savages. Of the two to three hundred thousand people who came in this time, it is estimated that most of them will die soon and stay in this strange world forever.
The dead have died, and the living will continue. After everyone healed their wounds for several hours, Master Hanshan gave the order for everyone to move forward. If you stay here all the time, it will be even more troublesome if you are ambushed by savages.
Lu Li has always kept a low profile. Even when he attacked the savages just now, he was not too harsh. A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist. If he gets too aggressive and is targeted by a powerful savage, he will die miserably.
He also kept moving forward in the middle of the army, always activating the Dao Mark sensor to avoid being attacked by savages. He felt very heavy in his heart. He originally thought that there were so many strong people who could easily survive all the crises here.
But I didn't expect that so many people would die at once.
He didn't have much confidence that everyone could get out alive. If everyone could use their divine power, they could easily sweep the entire small world with the power of the lord, but now it's obviously impossible.
Lu Li has entered many dangerous places and experienced many dangerous situations, but he has not given up. These savages have not made him despair yet, so he will wait and see.
The large army continued to move forward. After walking for a long time, they encountered several forests. Now no one dared to enter the forest. Although there is a magic medicine in the forest, is the magic medicine or life more important?
Those savages in the forest are like fish in water. Once they burrow into the leaves, it is too difficult to catch them. It would be much safer if we were in the wilderness, as long as we sense the ground.
In the next half day, no one encountered any danger, and there were no more savages to attack. Most of the people's injuries were getting better, and everyone felt a little calmer.
After walking for a long time, a lake appeared in front of him. Hanshan layman thought about it and wanted a group of people to camp here to rest for a while and discuss how to take the road ahead.
Everyone sat cross-legged nearby. Many people went to the lake to clean their wounds, and some jumped directly into the lake to vent their inner frustration and anger.
"Ah~"
However, many people who touched the water soon screamed. The hundreds of people who jumped into the lake all rolled and screamed in the lake. Then many people's bodies began to rot...
"There is poison in the lake!"
Everyone was shocked, and many people were secretly glad that they did not go into the water. Master Hanshan's face became particularly ugly, because he ordered to camp by the lake.
"This damn place..."
Lu Li also had a look of surprise on his face. It seemed like he had to be more careful in this place, otherwise he would not know how he would die. Those who entered the water eventually turned into white bones. Those who washed with water were better and cut off their skin and flesh in time, so as not to let the poison corrode the whole body.
"Someone is coming!"
Everyone sat cross-legged nearby for a while, and heard footsteps in the distance. After checking for a moment and confirming that it was the warrior who came in together, everyone felt relieved.
"Uh...it's the Crazy Devils and the others. They also killed many people."
Soon the people over there appeared in sight, and someone recognized one of them as the lord-level old demon Crazy Mozi. There used to be more than 20,000 people on his side, but now there are less than 10,000 left. Many people were injured, with broken arms and legs, and some had bloody holes in their bodies.
"We're in big trouble!"
Lu Li murmured, and the savages and natives attacked several times, but the first few attacks caused heavy casualties to those who came in. After waiting for a long time, how many of the two to three hundred thousand people who came in will be left in the end? Will they all make it out in the end?
Is there an exit from this place to the outside? If there is no exit, they will eventually either be killed by the savages or natives, or they will be trapped inside for the rest of their lives.
