Last Totem Novel - Chapter 248
Chapter 248 Mi Zhan
A few minutes later, dozens of large red ants with long and slender joints, spiked shells, and two pairs of transparent membrane wings on their backs emerged one after another. They then quietly crawled on the semi-desertified red ground, motionless. Right now, the swarm of insects had yet to launch an attack, and the soldiers’ attention was very distracted. Many people stared blankly at the bottom of the city wall. In order to avoid being discovered and causing unnecessary panic, Tie Zha did not dare to rashly direct the scouting operations.
At this moment, the swarm of insects in the distance began to move on a large scale, as if they were adjusting their formation. Not long after, the thunderous beasts slowly walked out of the swarm and stood at the front. Then, a group of weeping flies followed closely behind them. At the same time, the Thorn Bug Square Formation behind him began to move.
“Roar … Roar … Roar … Roar … Roar … Roar … Roar … Roar … Roar …” In the next moment, the group of Thunder Beasts facing the stronghold suddenly raised their heads and stamped their feet, and let out a heaven-shaking roar in unison. In an instant, an incomparably dense sound wave surged through the sky and the earth, as if it had formed a monstrous wave that directly slammed into the city wall.
Immediately after, the Thunderous Beast Herd’s feet suddenly stopped, stirring up a huge amount of sand and dust. They took heavy steps and began charging forward. In an instant, the earth trembled, and the sky changed color, as if the entire world was trembling.
“Team 1, team 2, team 3, team 4, pay attention to the movements of the stinger insects. Prepare to fire at any time.” Looking at the incoming swarm of insects, Tie Zha picked up the walkie-talkie and gave the order calmly.
“Yes!” Mu Qianhe replied loudly. More than forty Thunder and Fire Styles were divided into four small teams, under her unified command.
“Magma Beast, attack freely.” Following Tie Zha’s command, a loud “dong” sound came from the top of the stronghold, and a giant cannonball was fired at the incoming swarm of insects.
Taking advantage of the soldiers’ attention being attracted by the shelling, Tie Zha thought to himself, and the army of soldiers at the foot of the city wall immediately spread its wings and flew in all directions.
“Boom!” A few seconds later, the swarm of insects flashed with flames. The disintegrated corpses of the insects soared into the sky like fountains, and then a loud explosion rushed towards them.
However, before the smoke dissipated, countless weeping flies surged out, filling the void. In less than five minutes, they rushed five hundred meters in front of the stronghold under the bombardment of the cannons.
“Rocket launchers, fire-gathering thunderous beasts.” Tie Zha ordered in a low voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers carried rocket launchers, aimed at the thunderous beasts and pulled the trigger.
“Aggressive …” “Aggressive …” “Aggressive …” “Aggressive …” “Aggressive …” “Aggressive …”
In an instant, flames rose up on the city wall, smoke shrouded the air, and rockets dragged swarms of sparks flying straight like fine sand.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” In the blink of an eye, explosions and hisses intertwined, accompanied by waves of heat surging towards the city wall.
In the strong wind, Tie Zha was still standing at the edge of the city wall, his upright posture immovable. At this moment, he was like a javelin stabbed into the city wall, bringing the last bit of confidence to the soldiers guarding the city.
Three or two minutes later, the four thunderous beasts rushed to the city gates, taking heavy steps and smashing into the solid city wall. In the blink of an eye, they were carrying heavy rain-like armor-piercing depleted uranium bullets as they smashed into the city walls with sparks all over their bodies.
“Kuang!” “Kuang!” “Kuang!” “Kuang!”
Four muffled sounds rang out in succession. The city wall shook violently. The two soldiers were caught unprepared and were directly knocked off the city wall by the huge impact. Hundreds of weeping flies immediately surrounded them and instantly tore them to pieces.
At the same time, several self-detonating weeping flies flew over from behind the four lightning beasts and collided head-on.
Tie Zha swiftly pulled out the Merrill Lynch revolver and blew up several self-detonating weeping flies in the air. However, only two self-detonating weeping flies were killed in the four depressions, while the other two were corroded by strong acids. The city wall was melting at a speed visible to the naked eye. There were two floors of the city wall. The first floor was made of steel with willow nails, and the second floor was made of reinforced concrete.
After completing the first collision, two of the Thunderous Beasts immediately retreated, preparing to launch a second round of collisions.
Tie Zha was about to command the soldiers to use rocket launchers to collect the Thunderous Beasts, but at this moment, a large number of Song Wings followed the two Thunderous Beasts’ enormous bodies and continuously climbed onto the city wall, pouncing towards the human soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, the city wall was in chaos. The Marines drew their daggers and fought with the weeping flies.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Tie Zha pulled out a single-edged straight sword and joined the battle group. While killing the Wailing Chrysopa, he rushed towards the climbing entrance of the city wall.
Inadvertently, a self-detonating songfly hid among ordinary songflies rushed up the city wall and quietly flew towards the place where the human soldiers were most concentrated.
At this moment, Tie Zha, who was several meters away, just happened to kick off a pouncing Cynomorph. Just as he turned around and saw this scene, his eyes were about to split apart as he watched the self-detonating Cynomorph explode amongst the five or six Marines. In an instant, the green fluorescent acid splashed onto the soldiers’ bodies. Incomparably fierce cries of sorrow immediately resounded across the horizon. The incomparably thick acid was like boiling oil, instantly corroding the tarpaulin uniform until it was riddled with holes. It penetrated through the clothes and stuck to the skin with a sizzling sound. In an instant, pungent white smoke rose up, corroding the flesh and blood of the soldiers.
Looking at the soldiers’ miserable state, Tie Zha closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. He pretended not to see them. Then, he brandished his sword and swept away the two weeping flies in front of him. He pulled off the two broken grenades on the soldiers’ bodies and rushed to the climbing mouth. He bit open the pull ring and kicked open the one that had just pounced on him. He smashed down with all his might!
“Boom!” “Boom!”
Amidst the intense explosions and rolling waves of air, the Thunder Beast below let out a loud wail. Tie Zha didn’t stop for a moment. He glanced around and picked up the iron-bladder rocket launcher on the ground. He jumped onto the low wall at the edge and aimed at the Thunderous Beast’s side with a height difference of less than ten meters. Then, he fired a cannon at the Thunderous Beast below!
In an instant, the rocket exploded, “Boom!” With a loud explosion, the Thunderous Beast tilted its body and fell to the ground. On the city wall, Tie Zha was also knocked over by the explosion. Because the shooting distance was too close, countless rocket fragments sprayed out, causing his entire body to be drenched in blood. Just a few more wounds appeared on his face.
However, Tie Zha, who had just landed, immediately got up and found the second rocket launcher. He jumped onto the low wall of the city wall and fired another shot at the Thunderous Beast that was struggling to climb up below!
“Boom!” After a loud explosion, the giant beast at the gate of the city was blasted to the ground. At the same time, the shrapnel flew out, causing the military uniform to scatter in all directions.
After losing the Thunderous Beast’s body as a bridge, the speed at which the Winged Chrysopa climbed up the city wall dropped drastically, and the pressure on the soldiers diminished. At this time, many soldiers were already red-eyed. They watched as Tie Zha traded injuries for injuries and followed suit. They searched everywhere for rockets scattered on the ground before firing desperately at the Thunderous Beast below!
When more than a dozen rockets landed on the Thunderous Beast’s back at close range, the thick iron shell finally shattered and a large amount of dark green slurry sprayed out.
Its limbs burst apart, and pieces of its shell fell off. Finally, it let out a heavy howl and finally fell to the ground, unable to stand up. Seeing this, Tie Zha wiped the blood off his face. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the starlight above his head suddenly darkened. He hurriedly pounced forward, rolled his body, and hid behind the low wall.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh
In the next second, countless pale spikes fell from the sky and landed on the city wall like a shower.
When Tie Zha raised his head again, he saw a soldier standing upright beside him, his hands twitching unconsciously. He stared fixedly and saw a sharp thorn piercing through his chest, nailing him to the city wall. At this moment, white smoke was constantly rising from his chest, and his expression was extremely ferocious, as if he was enduring an indescribable pain.
Tie Zha took a deep breath and stood up. A sword pierced into the soldier’s heart, reducing his pain.
“Artillery! Artillery!” Looking at the Thorn Bug Square in the distance, Tie Zha held the walkie-talkie and shouted loudly. At the same time, with a thought, he commanded the scouting ants to fly towards the swarm of thorns. Then, he raised his binoculars and quickly reported the location of the shelling.
“Brothers, please hold on for a while longer.” Mu Qianhe’s gentle voice came from the walkie-talkie.
Right at this moment, the distant Thorn Bug Square Formation erupted with a second round of simultaneous firing. In the blink of an eye, countless pale spikes plummeted along the parabola.
Before Tie Zha could stand upright, the two Thunderous Beasts that had returned launched a fierce collision against the city wall! With a loud “clang” sound, they collided head-on with the indentation, causing the entire city wall to shake violently.
“The wall is broken!” “They’re coming in!” “Quickly block it!” “Brothers, fight them!” Suddenly, the horrified shouts of the soldiers came from the walkie-talkie.
Tie Zha quickly climbed down the city wall, only to see a big hole in the wall below, and the swarm of weeping flies were rushing in. As for the soldiers, they frantically shot through the gap one after another, and one after another, shattered grenades smashed towards them.
“Giant Ah Mu, drive a truck over!” Tie Zha shouted at the walkie-talkie, then pulled out Merlin’s revolver to join the battle group, firing desperately at the gap.
Suddenly, a Thunderous Beast squeezed in through the gap and broke through the encirclement with its bullets, knocking the soldiers around the gap into pieces.
“Arnold!” Seeing that the city wall was about to fall, Tie Zha hurriedly summoned his psionic warrior squad.
“Wait! We’re still supporting us in the southeast!” Shouted Arnold.
Right at this moment, three dazzling blue lights shot straight at the Thunderous Beast’s back, causing its enormous body to tilt. Raising his eyes, he saw the porcupine, match, and Tuoba standing side by side on the city wall, holding a psionic martial artist rifle in his hand.
Under the tremendous impact, the Thunderous Beast suffered a momentary setback. Taking advantage of this gap, Tie Zha bullied his body and jumped up. He flipped over the Thunderous Beast’s back and stabbed towards the wound caused by the psionic armor piercing bullet!
“Roar!” Intense pain came from his back. The Thunderous Beast let out a roar that broke his eardrums. It shook its body like thunder, wanting to throw the little bug off its back.
However, at this moment, Tie Zha tightly grabbed onto the hilt of the sword and pulled out the large left wheel while violently shaking it. He shot it towards the Thunderous Beast’s head at close range!
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” Five consecutive explosive shells struck the Thunderous Beast’s head, instantly sending its flesh flying. After firing the bullet, Tie Zha immediately tossed away Merlin’s left wheel. With a wave of his hand holding the hilt of the sword, he turned around and pulled off a broken grenade hanging on his chest with his other hand. He bit open the pull ring and forcefully stuffed it into the wound on the Thunderous Beast’s back. Then, he let go of his hand, preparing to roll down from the Thunderous Beast’s back.
However, as soon as he let go, he was thrown away by the Thunderous Beast’s incomparably tyrannical power and rolled backwards without balance. As a result, in midair, he was kicked by the Thunderous Beast’s rear hoof and immediately flew backwards like a cannonball, smashing heavily into the city wall on the side.
At the same time, the shattered grenades stuffed into the Thunderous Beast’s body suddenly exploded, causing splashes of juice to fly out, causing large amounts of carapace and flesh to rise.
As soon as Tie Zha landed, he struggled to get up and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Facing the heavily injured Thunderous Beast, the soldiers surrounded it and killed it. However, before they could breathe, another Thunderous Beast squeezed in from outside. As for their leader, he was right next to the Thunder Beast and seemed to have yet to recover.
“Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!” At this critical moment, the horn of the truck, the roar of the engine, and the hurried shouts suddenly came from behind him. The soldiers all pounced to the left and right. In an instant, a large truck roared from behind and crashed into the Thunderous Beast that had just squeezed into the gap!
“Kuang!” With a muffled sound, the lightning beast and dozens of weeping flies were instantly knocked back by the heavy truck head.
After the fierce collision, Giant Ah Mu, whose head was covered in blood, rolled down the driver’s seat and limped towards Tie Zha. He helped him up and left the battlefield.
At the same time, the soldiers quickly surrounded him, using the obstruction of the truck to block the gap again, shooting crazily outwards.
Not long after, Tie Zha gradually recovered from his dizziness. Then, he struggled to get up and rejoin the battle …
