Chapter 2809 Situation Deterioration
With the help of the combination of the snake god's eyes, perception and sword intent, Fengyun could clearly and even see the locusts killing each other.
This was originally a good thing.
The locusts are killing each other, and there will inevitably be casualties, which will greatly reduce their numbers.
What he fears most about the locust army is their number, too many.
From this point of view, it can be said that they kill themselves is what he could only wish for.
If things go well, he doesn't even need to do anything, and the crisis facing the Golden Dragon Tribe can be resolved.
In the end, everyone was able to carry out a wave of finishing touches to kill all the remaining locusts once and for all.
However, I am afraid of having a but in everything. Once the word but appears, nothing good will happen.
This situation is deeply understood.
For example, when he was in school, whenever the teacher seemed to be praising him, as long as there was a but, the situation would take a turn for the worse, and then it would be the beginning of his suffering.
This time the storm encountered the same situation.
When he first saw the locusts killing each other, he was really very happy, thinking that no matter what the reason was, as long as they did so, it would be a good thing for him and even the entire Golden Dragon Tribe.
It's just that as time went by, he soon stopped thinking so, and the joy in his heart was replaced by worry.
He saw the locusts pounce on the locusts after the ones he had killed, eating with relish.
Judging from their performance alone, it is not difficult to know the reason why they cannibalize each other. They are too hungry.
This is not uncommon, being extremely hungry can do anything, not only animals, but even people cannot completely avoid it.
He had personally experienced the horror of hunger, and even now, he didn't want to think about it again.
In other words, it is entirely believable that the locusts are killing each other because of hunger, and there is no need to worry about them deceiving him in this way.
Of course, there is absolutely no need for this.
Fengyun didn't doubt this, after all, he had learned about the situation of the locust army before, and they were indeed extremely short of food, and they all became thin.
In fact, when he first discovered this, he had expected that they would kill each other one day, but he didn't expect it to appear so soon.
Maybe it's because the cannibalism between them came too early that something went wrong.
To put it in more detail, they may not be driven entirely by hunger, but for another purpose.
Fengyun's observation also confirmed this point.
With the combination of the snake god's eyes, perception and sword intent, he can see every move of the locusts clearly, and even a slight change in them cannot escape his eyes.
Because of this, he discovered a terrible secret.
That is, the locusts are also undergoing changes in the process of eating the corpses of their own kind, for example, their size is increasing, their carapaces are thickening, and spikes appear on their carapaces, etc.
Although these changes are not big, for ordinary people, even if they get close, they may not notice it, but they cannot escape his piercing eyes.
Of course, if that's all, he wouldn't be too worried.
The problem is that his perception is so keen that he can sense that these locusts that are devouring the corpses of their own kind are becoming stronger.
Maybe their physical changes can deceive people, but the aura they exude cannot deceive people, they have indeed become stronger.
This is not what Fengyun wants to see.
The strength of the locusts has become stronger, even if their number has decreased sharply, it does not mean that their threat to the Golden Dragon Tribe will decrease, on the contrary, their threat to them will become greater.
You must know that although the people of the Golden Dragon Tribe have greatly improved their strength with his help, they are limited by time and their qualifications.
The current strength is generally not very high. Although it is much stronger than the tribe he has seen before, it is still not enough to face the locusts whose strength has improved.
They were able to build a line of defense under the leadership of Wu and others before, blocking the army of locusts. A large reason was that the individual strength of the locusts was still strong enough.
It's like facing a wall without good tools. Naturally, it is unlikely to succeed if you use your hands to pick it up. Even if there is progress, the speed of advancement will be very slow, but once the person who picks up the wall has tools, That situation is very different.
In Fengyun's view, when the locusts become stronger, they have tools. Perhaps this analogy is not entirely accurate, but he firmly believes that the results it brings will not be much different.
In other words, if these locusts are left alone, when they devour enough corpses of the same kind, their strength will be greatly improved, and then they will attack the defense line built by the people of the Golden Dragon Tribe, then it will be a nightmare for them .
Not only will the line of defense they built be breached, but they themselves will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
The most important thing is that Xinlongcheng will lose its protection and will be completely destroyed by the army of locusts. Whether it can be preserved will be a big question mark.
At that time, even if he led the people to evacuate Xinlong City, he would still be chased and killed by the locusts, and in the end he didn't know how many people would survive.
In short, from the changes discovered by the locusts at this time, Fengyun vaguely saw the tragic fate of the entire Golden Dragon tribe.
"No!"
Fengyun couldn't help letting out a low growl.
Such a result was unacceptable to him anyway.
In order to make the Golden Dragon tribe stronger, he has paid too much, once they fail in the duel with the locust army, it means that all his efforts have assisted Dongliu.
Not to mention that the relationship between him and the Jinlong Tribe is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and it has reached the level of both prosperity and loss.
He felt a killing intent surging in his heart, like a hole in the bottom of a big ship.
There is a hole in the bottom of the boat, if it is not repaired, the boat will sink, and if the killing intent in his heart can't be resolved, he suspects that he will be driven crazy.
That is to kill the last time happily.
Unknowingly, his hand reached the handle of the knife.
His strongest trump card is sword intent. His conventional attack method is also the most lethal. If he wants to kill more locusts in the same time, drawing the sword is obviously the best choice.
But what he didn't expect was that when his fingers touched the handle of the knife and before he could pull out the knife, the locusts rushed towards him first.
Okay, okay, if you want to die, I will fulfill you. Fengyun sneered.
The next moment, the long knife was unsheathed.
It was like a flash of lightning suddenly struck in the sky. For a while, the world became a vast expanse of whiteness, and nothing could be seen.
However, the white light appears quickly and disappears quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it had disappeared without a trace.
The white light disappeared, and Fengyun's knife reappeared in the scabbard, as if it had never been pulled out, but this did not mean that he was just acting.
In fact, he had already inflicted considerable casualties on the locusts.
With him as the center, within a radius of at least ten miles, there was no longer a single living locust. As if it had been agreed, all the locust corpses disintegrated almost at the same time and turned into fine powder.
If there were outsiders present, after seeing this scene clearly, they would definitely respect and fear him, and admire his superb sword skills, which can cover a radius of ten miles and take care of every target.
But at the same time, he will be afraid of the lethality of his sword technique.
None of the locusts in such a large area could escape, and regardless of the distance, they all died almost at the same time. In other words, the distance could no longer hinder his attack.
Killing so many locusts with one shot, Fengyun felt that the killing intent in his heart had vented a lot, but he didn't want to stop, he pressed the handle of the knife and looked around, obviously preparing to choose the next shot orientation.
Killing all the locusts in a radius of ten miles with one shot was enjoyable, but he also understood that continuing to do so was not a good choice.
Although his saber technique has reached an extremely high level, such a 360-degree attack with no dead ends still poses a certain degree of difficulty to him.
The scope is small. Fortunately, if the scope is large, the difficulty will increase exponentially, and this will place a very heavy burden on him.
The most important thing is that it can't last long, and he won't be able to hold on for a long time.
This is not what he wants.
So he chose to change the attack method and limit the attack angle. To be more specific, he only killed the locusts he encountered while advancing.
After he shot once, he had already decided not to stay where he was. He was going to take a look at the secret place he discovered by himself first, and learn about the situation from True Spirit.
If everything is fine, he will rush back to Xinlong City as quickly as possible.
He has been out for a while, and he is worried about what will happen to Xinlongcheng.
In addition, he was also going to discuss with Wu and the others what to do next and how to do it would be the most beneficial to the Golden Dragon Tribe.
Fengyun didn't really rush to the secret he discovered, he was still a short distance away from it and then stopped.
It's not that he no longer cares about the situation in the secret realm, but that he already understands it.
After the distance between him and his true spirit has been shortened to a certain extent, they can communicate simply through mutual induction.
He knew from True Spirit that both he and the secret realm were fine.
Although there were locust attacks, they were all settled by the true spirit, and the destructive power he showed made the locusts afraid. After paying a certain amount of casualties, they never dared to approach again. far away.
Of course, this does not rule out that the locusts want to use this to paralyze his true spirit, secretly gather strength, and attack him more violently.
But Fengyun is not very worried about this, the true spirit and him are two in one, he understands him unparalleled, and knows how powerful he is.
Even if a large number of locusts were gathered to attack him, it would definitely not be easy to take him down.
Besides, the secret realm he is responsible for guarding has only one entrance and exit from the outside world. If he retreats in and guards the position at the entrance of the passage, he can form a state of guarding the gate, greatly reducing the number of locusts facing him, and reducing his pressure.
He doesn't have to worry about his safety at all.
After confirming the location, Fengyun galloped towards the direction of Xinlong City.
Along the way, when he saw locusts, he would attack them boldly. Whether they were actively attacking him or they were just on his way, he would not let them go.
The speed of his knife was so fast that the locusts had no time to react, so fast that they could not see,
Often, he had already left for a long distance before the locusts split open one after another, turning into two halves neatly, and the incisions were smooth and smooth.
This is not over yet, the corpses of the locusts will disintegrate in a very short period of time after they split open, and eventually turn into powder.
He left a trace of sword intent in the bodies of the locusts he killed, and was responsible for destroying their bodies.
He did this mainly to prevent the killed locusts from being eaten by the living locusts, and become the nourishment for them to become stronger and even evolve.
Even though the locusts he killed could not be completely destroyed by his saber intent, leaving nothing behind, he believed that with the destructive power of the saber intent, the corpses of locusts treated by them would no longer be difficult for living locusts. used.
In a way, he hoped that the living locusts would eat the locust carcasses that had been shattered by his knife intent.
As long as they eat it, they have to shed a layer of skin if they don't die.
As his saber skills became more and more advanced, his saber intent also became stronger.
Although the saber intent he left on the locusts he killed was very small, its lethality should not be underestimated. Even if the locusts' bodies were completely decomposed, they would still not be completely consumed.
The rest of them are hidden in the debris of corpses that have been turned into powder.
If the living locusts ate the corpses of their own kind, the saber intent contained in the latter would also enter their bodies, and then wreak havoc inside their bodies.
It can range from injury to serious death. After all, the internal ability of locusts to resist damage is far inferior to their outer shell.
Fengyun rushed towards Xinlong City, the speed became faster and faster.
It wasn't that he deliberately accelerated, but was attacking him, and even the number of locusts that appeared on his way forward was decreasing. Obviously, the locusts saw his fearfulness and chose to avoid his edge.
Fengyun didn't take the initiative to chase and kill the locusts anymore, the killing intent in his heart had been vented a lot, and the urge to kill was greatly reduced.
In addition, he also wanted to meet with Wu and the others as soon as possible to have a good discussion and confirm what the Golden Dragon Tribe should do next.
Thinking like this, Fengyun rushed back to Xinlongcheng, but he was still quite far away from Xinlongcheng, his face suddenly became gloomy.
The last thing he wanted to see happened. The defense line built by Wu and others was under attack and was crumbling.
