Chapter 474 Blood Spider Blood Lord! (Combined Chapter)
Chapter 474 Blood Spider... Lord of Blood! (Combined Chapter)
According to Lu Meng's original plan.
Even if they didn't fight seven times in and seven times out, they had to kill at least two times.
However, because the other commander was sent to his death.
The Sand Bandits lost their backbone and their morale collapsed ahead of time.
Now the Sand Bandits suddenly exploded like a balloon, and their figures were everywhere in the mountains and plains. Most of them ran to the border, and some fled to the flash land in panic...Because this place is at the junction of the border and the swamp, there are even some clever ghosts rushing to the swamp, just betting that when Lu Meng chases others, he will ignore himself.
From the perspective of a battle, this is undoubtedly a great victory.
But Lu Meng is far from satisfied.
So far, this battle has not achieved his goal.
"Red King..." He lowered his knife and raised his hand to the sky.
The swamp is rich in resources, but the degree of development is low, just like the Amazon rainforest, there are few places suitable for living in such a large rainforest. Except for Shark Village, the population of the swamp is actually very sparse. The same area is not even as large as a large town in the Shark Kingdom, let alone the fertile Oakland Green Plains in the Holy Kingdom.
At the same time, although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is also difficult to expand outward.
For example, if Lu Meng wants to lead the coalition forces on an expedition this time, it will be nearly ten times more difficult for him than the rapid assembly of the sand bandits.
Even if the sand bandits are defeated this time.
When the other party recovers, even if they dare not attack in a large scale, they can come to harass and plunder from time to time, and they will never have peace.
The same is true for other forces.
For example, the battlefield where they are now actually belongs to the swamp climate, but because it is vulnerable to invasion, no swamp group dares to settle and expand here.
This is a problem that all the kings of the swamp cannot solve.
Lu Meng suddenly clenched his fist, as if he had caught the lingering bloody smell floating in the wind.
However, what the king of the swamp cannot do.
He can do it!
On the side of the sand bandits.
Seeing that the God of Killing stayed in the center of the battlefield, he had no intention of chasing.
They who were fleeing also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
No matter how strong the opponent was, after all, there was only one person, and he could not split himself up.
Generally, at the end of the battlefield, the victorious side would send highly mobile troops to chase Zhubei, and the gains in this process would be even higher than those in a head-on fight.
But now, you are only one person.
And the number of sand bandits can be divided into as many routes as the number of people.
Even if you go forward to chase and kill, you can only behead a dozen more.
The others had already run away.
The previous panic and fear quickly dissipated in the hearts of these sand bandit soldiers.
Even, there was a sense of relief.
—— Fortunately, I ran fast and didn't fight to the death there.
On the other side.
Those who were abducted by the sand bandits gathered together, including farmers from the Wandering Land, miners from the Old Mine, and more herdsmen from the Flash Land.
The excitement of escaping slavery gradually dissipated.
They also calmed down at this time.
For farmers and miners, they were homeless at this time - to return to the Wandering Land, they had to cross the border land. Not to mention whether they could do it with nothing, if they encountered sand bandits and black dragon ninjas on the way, they would definitely be retaliated.
For the herdsmen in the Flash Land, they had offended the North Wind Clan. The sand bandits had just dispersed and might come back in the future. Even if they returned to their respective camps, the future was bleak.
In the distance, among the chaotic sand bandits like ants.
The only young man who stopped was so conspicuous.
Even if he rode a giant beast, held a heavy knife, and looked invincible - human power could not turn the tide.
This was the general trend.
The patriarch of the Far Traveler Clan helped and comforted his people, walked to Ethan, and sighed: "It's good to be safe... Life must go on."
"This time, I really have to thank you, but it's a pity..."
In any case, they were lucky to be able to survive freely.
And this was thanks to that Lu Beiyou.
As for the others, I didn't expect too much.
It was just a pity that the tribe's property, cattle and sheep also suffered heavy losses this time. Even if they wanted to thank the other party for the hospitality, the Traveler Clan could not give anything, and others might not appreciate it... The chief thought.
Just like he had treated the merchants who settled there so wholeheartedly.
Little did he know that in the eyes of the other party, it was all useless flattery, even troublesome and disgusting.
"Wait..." The perceptive old herdsman suddenly murmured.
He turned his head suddenly and looked south.
That was the direction of the dense forest in the swamp. From a distance, it was a green area. Although it was still a little sparse, it was indeed lush vegetation.
And under the feet of everyone, there was also muddy sand.
A slight tremor came from the soles of the feet.
The green in the distance had a wrong color... It was seeping with a touch of red light.
The red gradually expanded.
Until, like a red tide!
"This is..." Ethan's pupils dilated instantly, "Blood Spider!"
The same exclamation resounded among the fleeing sand bandits.
"Blood spiders... How could this happen!"
Bush, treetops, mud under the sand.
Red shells popped out one after another, their fangs were sharp, and their legs were as sharp as knives.
When they moved, they were as fast as the wind.
Living on the border of the swamp, they had naturally heard of this ferocious beast. They would occasionally attack passers-by, but in the past they were scattered and wandering individuals, and the threat was not great.
But now.
Densely packed blood spiders surged out of the woods, layer upon layer. Their carapace occasionally collided as they ran, and the sounds they made together were like thunder.
Insect tide!
Why is it this time?
"Ahhhhh!"
The sand bandits who ran toward the swamp bore the brunt of the attack and crashed directly into them.
In just an instant, he was overwhelmed.
The small blood spider first disembowelled the sand bandit, got in, and sucked it big.
The larger adults show their fangs and eat their limbs.
After a while, only clean white bone hair was left.
And this didn't even create a ripple in the red tide.
"Run!" The herdsmen were also frightened.
They quickly dragged their families and rushed towards the shelter - as long as they entered dry sand and were exposed to the scorching sun, it would be difficult for the blood spiders to survive, and they would follow their instincts and retreat in advance.
But I just don't know if I can outrun these fast-moving beasts.
"Mr. Lu!" Little Dibu, who was being led, suddenly remembered something and turned around to shout.
Lu Meng and Tieniu were still stationed in the center of the battlefield.
Perhaps attracted by the bloody smell of the corpses on the ground, the blood spiders surged towards the battlefield and did not pursue the escaped civilians.
Just, keep going like this.
The person who saved them would be instantly submerged by the red tide.
However, a scene that little Dib will never forget occurred.
Even if this young herdsman has grown old in the future and has forgotten many things - but when the starry sky shines, Dibu, as the leader of the clan, is wearing a big fur and sitting by the fire. Under the longing gaze of the child, he is still I have not forgotten to tell the younger generation of the Far Traveler clan this scene that is engraved in my memory:
The ferocious tide of blood spiders hit the young man just before they hit him.
Suddenly they separated to both sides.
It's like a rock standing on the waves, or like thunder splitting the dark clouds.
The red tide split into two, rushing past both sides of Lu Meng.
He didn't even look back.
The little black sheep Kony popped his head out of the bag again. There was no fear in his eyes. He turned his head and looked in all directions, looking at the swarm of insects rushing beside him, as if he was inspecting his own army.
Lu Meng pressed it back.
At the same time, a blood spider that was much larger than other members of its race broke away from the red tide and walked slowly to his side, keeping pace with Tieniu.
"Xiaohong."
Lu Meng rolled over.
I touched its head, which was not smooth and cute.
Blood Spider Mother.
Then, there was another one.
The second one, the third one...
A total of five giant blood spiders stood among Lu Meng, as if they were serving a monarch.
Each insect mother represents a fully developed blood spider army!
Xiaohong glanced at the changed Tieniu, recognized it, and immediately grinned.
It hasn't forgotten the days when it was tied to this stupid thing's back.
Tieniu just said something. The blood in its eyes had faded. The weakness after becoming mad made it a little lazy, and it ignored the demonic insect.
Lu Meng looked at the panel silently.
Under the influence of the B-level beast taming module, he can not only control the movements of insect mothers, but also issue some commands to subordinate nodes on their behalf - provided that these insect mothers have been tamed and their resistance is not high.
Otherwise, we can only forcefully control the insect mother herself.
After all, they are powerful enough and wild at the same time.
However, such an order is not precise enough. It is best to directly control the subordinate nodes of the insect mother, such as Xiaohong's first seven descendants. As the most mature group of blood spiders in the new insect group, they are equivalent to commanders and relays. Standing in the same role.
Lu Meng took over the control authority of several insect mothers one by one.
Xiaohong was the one he had tamed long ago, the other was the newborn insect mother he had captured, and the rest were all captured and trained with the help of the Skinner during a raid on the Burning Forest, and they also added a lot of offspring.
The blood spider probably never dreamed of it.
One day, humans will actually take the initiative and snatch themselves away as pets.
After this wave of losses, the wild insect tide outside Peipi Town will have to subside for at least four to five years.
It can be considered that Lu Meng fulfilled his promise to Da Gray.
The insect wave continues to sweep through.
The sand bandits let out an unprecedented howl of ghosts and wolves - with the blood spiders' speed of movement, they were the best pursuit force.
At the same time, dying in their mouths would be worse than being hacked to death by Lu Meng.
Because it was almost eaten alive.
Some are even captured alive by their heirs and used as a breeding ground for feeding their brothers and sisters.
If the sand bandits were to form an organized military formation at this time.
With human wisdom, the crossbowman's arrow attack, and the assistance of his teammates... he can still resist one or two.
However, they retreated prematurely.
Now, the mountains and plains have turned into a hunting ground for blood spiders, and the scattered sand bandits are prey waiting to be caught!
Click!
The sharp knife-like steps cut into the bandit's chest one after another.
The sand bandit, whose leg was bitten by his teeth, fell to the ground. He was only a step too slow before he was overwhelmed by the adult blood spiders that rushed towards him.
A sand bandit counterattacked and shattered the blood spider's hard carapace.
However, they are endless, and they are truly an army that is not afraid of death.
Such resistance is useless.
"This is not enough." Lu Meng closed his eyes.
He began to take over the large blood spider adults responsible for transmitting commands in the insect tide.
One, two... thirty!
Each large adult can lead a blood spider team, which can accurately chase and kill the fleeing sand bandits, instead of following their instincts and rushing forward and being attracted by the corpses.
Lu Meng has tried it.
The upper limit of the animal taming module that can be forcibly controlled is thirty animals at the same time.
If creatures such as the insect mother and the iron bull are to be controlled, they will also occupy positions.
And 30 is exactly the upper limit of the number of teammates in the original version of "Swordsman".
However, the honeycomb-like biological group such as the blood spider is undoubtedly stuck in a bug.
At this moment, Lu Meng has become a master of micro-manipulation.
"But it's not enough." He frowned slightly.
There are still many sand bandits who escaped the pursuit of the blood spider team.
Suddenly, after taking over thirty nodes, the number of large blood spiders controlled by Lu Meng continued to rise!
31, 32, 33...62!
On the panel, in addition to [Animal Recruitment (B-level)], the second module:
[More teammates·256 people (B-level)].
The cooperation between modules is unlocked to the maximum limit!
In the feelings of the sand bandits, the blood spiders all over the mountains were instantly controlled by the same person and had a unified consciousness... They were not only fearless but also had strategies and tactics, not like blind and ignorant wild animals at all.
They looked like a well-trained army!
This is more terrifying than any wild insect tide.
And their only mission.
Is to kill all the sand bandits here!
The scavenger birds hovered in the air and did not dare to land at all. Even if the instinct of hunger attracted them, another instinct called "fear" made them more rational.
In the bird's-eye view, the red tide was surging and the ground was full of blood.
"This... this..." The sand bandits who had originally been lucky and thought that if their teammates could feed the blood spiders, they could escape the disaster, they also fell into despair.
Many people took out sharp knives and threw them directly into their chests.
They would rather end their lives,
than face the pain and fear of being bitten by insects.
Some people seemed to have lost all consciousness. Even if their bodies were half bitten by blood spiders, they seemed to feel no pain and just stared blankly into the distance.
Looking at the figure surrounded by the terrifying insect mother.
This scene itself is more terrifying than all the sharp teeth and claws.
He is just a human... right?
Before dying,
many sand bandits recalled the intelligence mentioned by the commander before departure -
There is a new leader in the swamp, and he is called the Red King by the local people.
But there is also a less credible gossip.
Some people secretly called him:
"Lord of Blood."
It is said that he can tame the ferocious beast called blood spider.
Those who heard it just laughed it off.
Even if it is true, it is probably just catching one or two half-dead adults and keeping them in cages for fun. Under the spread of rumors, there is such a legend.
But now, the legend has become reality.
And it is even more terrifying.
The bloody insect tide brings bloody killings, like the master of the battlefield.
They have to pay the price for their lack of imagination.
Moreover, even the most cautious people.
They will not consider that the enemy they face will drive the insect tide.
——This has happened in the long past.
There was only one case in the entire continent.
Lu Meng let go of his hand, feeling the bloody smell that was a hundred times and a thousand times thicker in the air, and the screams and gnawing sounds gathered and echoed in the wind, noisy and pleasant.
"The definition of the swamp needs to be changed." He said softly.
Rotten Town is no longer the boundary of this dense forest.
Wherever the blood spider army can reach is the swamp.
