Last Totem Novel - Chapter 313

Chapter 313 Tremble
After the battle, the convoy lined up and stopped at the roadside. The armored vehicle that was attacked by the giant lizard was badly damaged. Not only was its body caved in, even half of its hub and bearings were deformed. Everyone moved the wounded out of the car with all sorts of hands and feet. The temporary medical officer, Hillman, and two male field nurses were in charge of taking care of the wounded. Including the driver, there were a total of five injured and four scouts were all injured.

Fortunately, this place was not far from Dawn Stronghold. Shortly after Billy reported the situation, Regional Commander Bryan sent a team of Marines, a team of road engineers, as well as a large towing truck and two field ambulances.

About half an hour later, engineers repaired roads and fences on the edge of cliffs, and ambulances escorted the wounded away. Tie Zha rearranged the scouts and let Marcus lead four Marines and a pilot to scout ahead, while lightly injured matches remained in the team to rest. After the arrangements were made, the convoy set off once again in the direction of Highway 163.

After experiencing this incident, everyone had personally experienced the dangers of the bottomless abyss. The atmosphere of the entire team became solemn in vain. Even the cynical Hillman put away his smile, and his gaze towards the surroundings became more vigilant.

At this time, the speed of the convoy had dropped sharply. Its original speed of about 80 kilometers per hour had dropped to over 30 kilometers per hour. At the same time, it had also shortened the safe distance between the large army and the scouts. Just as an old saying in the Far East said, “Be careful and sail for ten thousand years.” If the car hadn’t been so fast just now, perhaps the result would have been much better. It was really depressing to lose five members in one go.

Just like that, the convoy continued to move forward, but in the following period of time, it went unexpectedly smoothly. There were no more dangers or emergencies.

However, more than 10 hours later, the convoy arrived at a fork and turned to Highway 163, causing the situation to deteriorate drastically.

First of all, Highway 163 is steep and the stones along the road are between the soft rock area and the earth-rock area. In order to avoid the collapse point, the road is winding and winding, and the difference between height and height is large. Secondly, the road was exceptionally narrow. Many places could only barely pass through a truck. There were even some corners where they had to follow the guardrail at the edge of the cliff. It was truly frightening. If one was careless, they would fall into the endless void and turn into ash. Thirdly, not only were there no street lamps here, even the ghostly stones that could be seen everywhere in the abyss were extremely rare, so they could only rely on the illumination of the headlights. The co-pilot must lean the upper body out of the window and use a flashlight to help illuminate and observe the terrain, providing real-time information to the driver. Looking at the deep darkness outside the car window, nervousness and fear were the most natural emotions.

Fortunately, after entering Highway 163, he had not encountered any traffic problems. Otherwise, it would only be worse. One can imagine the dangers of backing up on cliffs with rough terrain and narrow winding roads.

Here, the speed of the convoy had dropped to five kilometers per hour. It was almost like walking, and even walking might be faster. Before entering Highway 163, they rested for two hours at a transit station on Highway 29, but now it seemed that they were in a hurry. As the guide, Billy originally wanted to advise the commander to rest for one night before leaving. However, when his words reached his mouth, he was gently stabbed by Eudith. He noticed the commander’s hurried appearance and swallowed his words back.

Every time they arrived at a dangerous section of the road, Tie Zha would get off the car and personally go to the front to take a look. A few hours later, the convoy arrived at a narrow turning point. Tie Zha, like the previous times, came to the front and watched the truck slowly turn around. But at this moment, a chaotic and sharp hissing sound came from far to near. The dense sound was like a deep ocean tide, and in the blink of an eye, it formed an overwhelming momentum, piercing straight into the eardrums of people.

“Vampiric Bat! Prepare to fight!” Tie Zha immediately reacted. As he shouted, he patted the alloy helmet and activated his infrared vision. According to the school textbooks, the Abyss Vampiric Bat was a hot-blooded mammal. In adulthood, its wings were about 1.5 meters long, its body was about one meter long, and its weight was about 30 to 35 kilograms. It could be detected by infrared scanners.

The moment the lenses lit up, Tie Zha’s line of sight was completely red. In the void outside the cliff, thousands of red flying figures were pouncing over, like large patches of burning clouds. Seeing this scene, Tie Zha quickly jumped onto the roof of an armored vehicle behind him, pushed away the stunned Marines, turned the muzzle of the divine cannon, aimed at the giant bats pouncing in the sky, and pressed down the trigger without hesitation.

“Hiss hiss hiss hiss” With a sharp sound, the twelve barrels of the Fire God Cannon rotated at high speed.

In the next second, flames spewed out from the pitch-black cliff!

“Da da da da da da da da da da da …”

In an instant, high-explosive warheads shot out one after another, breaking through the high-density air. The friction was bright red, and it carried a high-speed spinning target. It sliced open flesh and blood, shattering brittle bones, and at the same time, the copper core inside the warhead exploded.

“Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji” Under the bombardment of the divine cannon, the vampire bats wanted to boil a pot of boiling water. The shrill screams echoed through the cliffs, echoing endlessly in their ears and traveling far away.

As Tie Zha opened fire, the Marines reacted, jumped out of the car, pulled on the safety bolt, and half-squatted and wildly shot towards the bat pack. In an instant, gunshots, roars, wails, and screams mixed together, resounding throughout the entire world.

However, just after one round of shooting, the group of bats rushed a hundred meters away. The next round of shooting, the group of bats had already rushed to the vicinity of the convoy, producing sharp sound waves that pounced forward one after another.

In an instant, a series of curses, miserable screams, and scuffles rang out on the mountain path. At the same time, at the top of the armored vehicle, a vampire bat was spreading its sharp claws and pouncing towards Tie Zha, who was in the middle of shooting. The angle of this bat was very tricky. The angle of its attack was precisely the blind spot of this human’s vision. In the next moment, its sharp claws would cut open its prey’s body, and its fangs would drink blood. However, in the eyes of its prey, it looked like a slow-moving sandbag as it pounced ferociously and swiftly.

The corner of Tie Zha’s eyes swept past the shadow that was about to reach his body. He immediately turned around and punched the head of the vampire bat. The latter was immediately like an unloaded cannonball, shooting directly behind him. After knocking over dozens of his companions, he spat out blood from his nose and mouth and fell into the abyss. Seeing that more and more bats were approaching, Tie Zha let the Marines take over the artillery, while he brandished his fists and punched the Ancient Martial Arts-Octagon Fist.

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”

With a series of muffled noises, the giant bats pouncing towards them flew backwards like sandbags and bowled like bowling balls, knocking over a large number of their companions behind them before falling into the abyss with them. However, although these vampire bats weren’t strong, they were extremely numerous. Moreover, they were ferocious and fearless. They pounced towards the convoy in the face of a rain of bullets.

Just as they fought, one of the Marines was caught unprepared and knocked to the ground by the vampire bats. Before he could struggle to get up, he was pushed back by the crowd of bats following closely behind him. In the blink of an eye, the protective suit on his body was riddled with holes and blood flowed all over his body. It seemed that he would not be able to survive. The other soldier was pinching the neck of a vampire bat as he rolled and scuffled on the ground, both of them falling off the cliff. Fortunately, Jerome, Porcupine, and the other power-armored warriors were extraordinary. They stopped most of the vampire bats on the front lines and kicked them into the abyss. Otherwise, the situation would only get worse.

In the middle of the battle, a vampire bat circled behind him. Taking advantage of Tie Zha’s left and right bow, it had just sent two companions flying. It opened its bright fangs and bit towards his neck.

“Kacha!” With a cracking sound, a bright spark flashed across the back of Tie Zha’s neck. The vampire bat bit the back of his neck as he wished, but did not taste the taste of blood. Instead, it broke four of its sharpest sharp teeth. The teeth of the Abyss Vampiric Bat were comparable to diamonds, and its biting strength was comparable to that of an alligator. Even a thick steel plate could draw out a few deep cuts. However, it bit the back of the human’s neck and did not move at all. Before it could even bite out a scratch, it broke its teeth.

Facing this uninvited guest, Tie Zha grabbed him, grabbed his wings with one hand, grabbed his hind legs with the other, and pulled him hard! The vampire bat coughed out a large ball of blood mist and was torn into two before it could let out a mournful cry. Immediately after, Tie Zha leaned backwards and threw the remnant of his body out like a ball.

“Pfff” Amidst several muffled sounds, another seven or eight large bats were smashed into the abyss and fell into the abyss. Taking advantage of a moment of breathing, Tie Zha glanced around the battlefield and discovered that more and more vampire bats were pouncing into the mountain path. The Marines and logisticians were struggling to hold on, and the battle situation was rapidly deteriorating. Although he was in a semi-invincible state, he was still unable to block the large number of vampire bats. Even if he was completely unharmed, he would not be able to save so many players.

“Roar!”

Just as he was worried, Suddenly, a sharp howl came from the dim abyss. The howl was from the bottom to the top. At first, it was like a power armor that swept across the sky. Then, it was like several mechs leaping into the air at the same time. Afterwards, it was like dozens of aircraft taking off at the same time. Hundreds of jet bags and fuel thrusters erupted at the same time.

Tie Zha, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, was deaf in an instant, as if the entire world had gone to the sound. At the same time that he lost his hearing, it was as if his brain had been pierced by thousands of steel needles. The pain caused his hair to stand up, and his blood pressure to soar. His eyes were bloodshot, and veins appeared on both sides of his temples.

Along with this earth-shattering roar, an incomparably powerful airflow suddenly sprayed out, like a steam blowout. Immediately, the group of bats in midair were broken bones and broken wings, scattered all over the place.

At the same time, an indescribable suffocation came from the deepest part of his soul. Even Tie Zha, who was accustomed to life and death, felt a bone-chilling fear at this moment. He gritted his teeth, tightened his body, and trembled endlessly, as if he had fallen into boundless despair. This was the instinctive reaction of creatures, the fear and suppression they felt in the face of an irresistible disaster, or in the face of a creature that was several times larger than them.
