Chapter 202 I’m Here!
He asked curiously: "Why are you following me?"
"There must be backup candidates." Liu Tong is a careful person. If Sun Jiayuan fails, someone must take over his task.
So more than a dozen people rushed to the river and rolled around in the mud for a few times. They were covered in three layers of mud on the inside and outside. When they stood up, they looked almost human, with only a pair of eyes exposed.
Even the wicker was like this, rolled all over in mud without a care.
He Lingchuan also filled the water bag with water.
The thin man spat out the fishy muddy water and said, "Bah, it stinks to death!"
He didn't dare think there was anything else in the mud.
Everyone returned to the original place, which was closest to the giant nest. Sun Jiayuan put his bow and arrow on his back and nodded to Liu Tong: "Ready."
A dozen clay figures ran at the same time, but they would stop when the spider got close.
A strange scene appeared: when they stopped, the cave spider passed directly by them and regarded them as nothing.
Yes, they have such a strong muddy smell that it covers their popularity.
Of course, burrowing spiders don't respond to the smell of earth that they deal with all the time.
"Go quickly!"
Without Liu Tong's urging, Sun Jiayuan sprinted to the edge of the nest with all his strength, rolled forward, hugged his face and shrank his legs and went down.
This brocade looks gorgeous, but in fact, like ordinary spider webs, there are sticky beads every half a palm's distance. The stickiness is particularly amazing. There is no way to escape except for peeling off a layer of skin of anything that rubs against it.
But Sun Jiayuan's body was wrapped in several layers of mud skin, which was still wet and wet. Every time he rolled over a layer of spider web, he would lose a little bit of mud, and he would fall down layer by layer by gravity.
Liu Tiao took advantage of the gap between him and the enemy to look back and shouted with joy: "This plan can work!"
In just a few breaths, Sun Jiayuan fell through seven or eight layers of spider webs. As long as he breaks through the last layer of defense, he can throw fire bombs into the lair.
The spider demons also sensed something was wrong and came from all directions. Everyone threw out the insect repellent bottles they had prepared long ago, fighting for every moment they could.
The repellent smoke is very symptomatic. Ordinary spiders kick their legs when they smell this smell and cannot take more than two steps. However, the spider demon guarding the nest obviously has a stronger tolerance. It shakes its head and rushes over with bated breath.
What they are best at is obviously spitting through the silk screen. At this time, the wet clay figurines like He Lingchuan and Liu took advantage, and the net could not drag them away.
Liu Tong couldn't help but urged loudly: "Sun Jiayuan, hurry up!"
The spider demon has thick skin, great strength, and many tricks, but its number is limited. One or two of the patrols are more than enough. But the insect repellent bottle won't burn for long, and by then the little spiders will swarm up and get in everywhere, even with the protective aura, they won't be able to withstand it.
It was a race against time, but Sun Jiayuan didn't reply.
"Sun Jiayuan!" Liu Tong called a few more times.
Luxurious brocade covers the entrance to the underground nest, so no one can see what's going on underneath.
Everyone was anxious when Sun Jiayuan's voice came from below, which sounded a bit far away: "The space down here is too big, and there are many floors! I have to go down..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly shouted "Ah——" in a shrill voice!
"There's an ambush, and there's an army of spiders as well, so hurry up!"
Then there was a loud explosion, and firelight came out from under the brocade.
The guards' hearts sank.
Sunjiayuan is probably gone.
Someone was standing next to the brocade, slashing hard with a knife. As expected, the spider web looked light and airy, but was actually more pliable than a century-old vine. A hundred-refined steel knife with Yuanli attached to it could only cut a few threads.
You know, there are still more than ten layers of wire mesh covering the nest.
What's going on underneath, we'll have to find someone else to find out.
Sun Jiayuan is likely to get off to a bad start, so will they continue?
If we retreat like this, what will happen to the large army?
Even if General Nan Ke can gather the remaining troops and escape, there are still Baling people waiting outside the Ghost Needle Stone Forest!
One step forward is fog, one step back is abyss, and they must make a decision immediately, now, immediately!
Several people said in unison: "I'm going!"
There was Liu Tong, the door panel, and two other patrollers.
Even before the mud is dry on their bodies, they can take over the unfinished tasks of Sun's homeland.
He Lingchuan was deeply impressed. In terms of elites, these patrols were indeed not as good as the Gale Army; but in terms of courage, the Blackwater City Army, the Supporting Army, and the Kite Kingdom officers and soldiers he had seen were not worthy of carrying boots for others!
The thin man hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "I-I'll go!"
The sparrowhawk flew over, still holding the bundle in its talons.
"No, I'll go!" As soon as it flew over He Lingchuan's head, the latter waved to it, "Give me the fire bombs!"
His advantages are unique and unmatched by anyone.
Sparrow Eagle dropped the baggage, He Lingchuan took it in his hand, grabbed a few command arrows from it, and ran towards the entrance of the spider nest, throwing the rest to Liu Tong: "If I fail, you guys will take your place!"
When passing by Liu Tiao, he also took away the kerosene hanging from her waist.
"What a man!" He Lingchuan had not been in the team for a long time. Liu Tong did not expect that he would fight so bravely and he was moved at the moment. "We will try our best if you leave your last wish!"
He Lingchuan's life and death are unknown, but everyone has a wish. According to the tradition of the Panlong City Army, the living should try their best to fulfill the wishes of the dead.
"No need!" He Lingchuan held up a water bag to pour water on his head to make the mud on his body a little more wet. He used the Swallow Turning Technique, easily dodged several intercepting spider monsters, rushed to the edge of the nest, and jumped down just like Sun Jiayuan did.
Others saw the brocade surging and swallowing He Lingchuan, and only his voice came from below: "Go back to Tianshuang Restaurant and treat me to a drink!"
Liu Tong shook his head: "This kid!" He was so sure that he would not die that he didn't even leave a last wish?
But He Lingchuan's optimism still infected the patrol guards on the scene, and everyone was refreshed, and even the atmosphere of anxiety and confusion was reduced.
Just a few breaths later, they heard He Lingchuan exclaim in surprise: "There is a different world below, it seems to be a forest!"
Menban and the thin man looked at each other in their busy schedule, and they could see each other's confusion.
Did He Lingchuan faint? What kind of forest can there be under the ground?
"I didn't see Sunjiayuan!" He Lingchuan's voice continued to come up, "I set a fire, and Zhu Erniang must have suffered heavy losses!"
The thin man rushed to the edge of the nest and looked down. Sure enough, he saw a red fire flashing under the brocade tent, as if a raging fire was burning, but with the brocade blocking him, he couldn't even feel a trace of heat.
The fireproof effect of this spider silk is really amazing. If He Lingchuan hadn't fallen down and set the fire directly, the sparrow hawk would probably have thrown an arsenal from the air and it would have been useless.
The nest was burned successfully, and the thin man was overjoyed: "He Lingchuan, come up quickly!"
"The spider army has crawled out!" He Lingchuan's voice was urgent and firm, "You guys retreat quickly, go!"
Go?
The thin man was startled, and a huge spider demon suddenly appeared in the rolling brocade and pounced on him in the air!
This thing is as big as a goat, and it can jump two feet with eight legs, almost crushing the thin man.
He has never seen a spider that is good at jumping, and its speed is unreasonable.
Fortunately, he is also very agile, and he rolled on the ground to avoid it, shouting: "The spider demons are climbing up, more than a hundred!"
Yes, there is another army of spider demons behind the jumping spiders. They are big and small, with different patterns and colors, but they rush to the nest entrance along the spider web, and they are angry at first glance!
The largest one was bigger than a brown bear, with colorful bodies, and it was obvious that it was not easy to mess with.
Everyone realized that the spider queen had placed all the elite guards in the nest to watch over the house, no wonder it could leave without worry.
The instructions these big babies received were probably to guard the cave and not go out, so they didn't rush out to fight the arsonist until He Lingchuan set a big fire.
More than a hundred big monsters that were gathering their strength and looking for trouble were too much for a dozen patrol guards to handle. In a blink of an eye, two of them were knocked down and dragged into the nest with screams.
After catching people, these spiders reproduced the classic hunting method, pressing the prey to the ground and rolling and kneading them, wrapping them with layer after layer of sticky spider webs, and turning them into two dumplings in a blink of an eye.
"Damn it!" The shouts of the teammates suddenly weakened, and Willow Branch was furious, and two arrows knocked down the spiders that were spinning silk. But the spider group surged up like a tide and was about to close.
What's worse is that the insect repellent bottle she threw out will soon burn out, and the little spiders are ready to move.
If they don't leave, they will be sent food to others. Liu Tong was sweating profusely, grabbing Willow's arm and shouting: "Retreat, retreat quickly!"
Willow shouted "He Lingchuan" to the cave for the last time.
The huge hole did not respond.
Menban pressed her shoulder and said in a deep voice: "It can't be found! If you don't want to die, leave quickly!" The cave is on fire, and the spider queen will probably rush back. This place can't stay.
He and Liu Tong each put up a willow branch and ran quickly to the back of the slope.
The horse is hidden there, and there is hope of escaping if you ride it early.
At this moment, fireworks ignited again in the sky.
Menban looked back in his busy schedule and was overjoyed: "Fireworks outside the stone forest! Maybe reinforcements are coming!"
The location of the fireworks is far away, although it is also in the northeast. Judging from the distance, they should explode outside the ghost needle stone forest.
The reinforcements that have been waiting for a night have finally arrived.
¥¥¥¥¥
The Gale Army attacked Weicheng.
Just as General Hong expected before the battle, the dozens of miles from Puxigou to Weicheng were very pleasant. There was no soldier in sight, only two eagles circling in the sky.
Captain Sun personally drew his bow and shot down one.
Except for the night owl, the night vision of birds of prey is relatively poor, and it has not improved much after becoming a demon. If it were daytime, it should not be a problem for it to avoid this fatal arrow.
The other one was so scared that it flapped its wings and pulled up, and never dared to fly low again.
Weicheng was quiet at night, and there were only four or five red lights on the city gate, as if the city defense was lax.
However, as soon as the Gale Army started to attack, a wave of arrows was shot down from the city gate, and then a horn was blown in the wilderness, and an army came from the rear of the Gale Army!
There was an ambush.
The Baling people had been lying in ambush in the wilderness for most of the night, and they were exposed to the wind and sand, and they dared not light a fire, so frost hung on their eyebrows and collars, and they attacked with a belly full of resentment.
The Dafeng Army took out their bows and fired two rounds of shots at the ambushers.
