Chapter 282 Battle of God Slayer (27)
Not long after the two of Chi Yu left.
On the back mountain, the silkworm cocoon that was lightly knocked awake by the stones trembled twice, and the blue shell was forcibly broken and cracked by the force from the inside of the silkworm cocoon.
Two pairs of wings as thin as cicada wings, intertwined with black and blue stretched out and unfolded, and the transparent mucus dripped to the ground along the supporting bone spurs, corroding the blanket-like grass with a "chi chi" sound.
Immediately afterwards, the eight slender limbs covered with fluff "stepped" on the edge of the cocoon, and with a light force, the upper body was stretched out.
It was a giant butterfly-shaped insect with soft tentacles dancing around flexibly, as if a blind man was groping and exploring the surrounding environment.
Suddenly, its movements stopped, and a pair of faint blue compound eyes shone with a strange light.
After a while, the "butterfly" flapped its wings and flew towards the distant sky.
……
the other side.
Facing Qi Sheng's question, Toki Zero didn't care about his commanding attitude: "There is indeed a bunch of colorful cocoons on the mountain in the north. As for the location... it's probably three-quarters of the entire mountain."
"As for the quantity, we only glanced at it from a distance and didn't make detailed statistics... A rough estimate should be around four or five hundred."
Chi Yu looked past the crowd blocking the door, trying to look inside the ancestral hall,
It's a pity that she couldn't see the scene inside clearly because of the cover of someone's head and the courtyard door... She didn't even know if there were any people in it.
She retracted her gaze and listened intently to the conversation of several "leaders".
Qi Yue still had a clear and indifferent look: "Four to five hundred...the overall number is quite different from before."
Qi Sheng nodded: "It seems that our previous speculation was correct. The group of monsters on the back mountain are just the opponent's 'vanguard'."
As the representative of the players, Qu Yiyang pondered: "Are there any traces of 'Silkworm Cocoon' in other directions?"
If he remembers correctly, when Qin Zhen arrived with them, Qi Yue had already dispatched three teams to the east, south and west respectively, in order to grasp the movements of the cocoons in the first place .
Qi Yue's face was calm: "There is no news yet... According to our experience, this is a very normal phenomenon."
"Almost every month at the end of the month, a similar situation will happen." Her eyes were tinged with fatigue, "Whenever the sun is covered by dark clouds and the cold wind wraps the village... it means that Shenyou Village is about to face The threat of monsters."
Qi Sheng continued: "Generally speaking, the 'cocoon' will not appear until four or five o'clock in the afternoon. Within half an hour, the monsters will be hatched and they will attack the villages."
"Wait until the sun goes down and night falls...all will be quiet again."
Qi Sheng frowned, and his expression was a little complicated, "At that time, no matter whether it is the monsters that have been killed by us or the monsters that are still alive, they will disappear out of thin air... as if they were wiped from the canvas of reality. It's the same as going."
"Silkworm cocoons" and monsters that appeared inexplicably and disappeared out of thin air...
I always feel... there is a special symbolic meaning.
Chi Yu was silent, but his thoughts were running wildly.
"But..." Qi Yue pursed her lips, "Occasionally, like today, traces of those 'cocoons' are found in the early morning."
"And this often means...the monsters this time have chosen the tactic of dividing troops into multiple groups."
She raised her head and looked at the cloudy sky, "Although the timing of the attack will not change, the monsters will no longer be limited to attacking from the direction of their 'birth'."
"It is possible to choose the second or third of the four directions... or even fire from all sides."
"That is to say, the difficulty of defense is several orders of magnitude higher than usual..." Qu Yiyang understood the meaning of Qi Sheng's brothers and sisters without hindrance.
Fortunately, according to Qi Sheng, those monsters will emerge from their cocoons in the evening, and they will be wiped away by inexplicable forces at sunset, and it will take less than two hours to fully count...
Even if it's really that unlucky, monsters will attack from all directions... Qi Sheng, Qi Yue, the villagers with superficial magic skills, and seven players, Shi Ling, who can wrestle with the monsters on Mount Huan.
With such a strength configuration, if it is purely defensive... Unless those monsters are extremely strong in individual combat, there is almost no possibility of losing.
But then again, if those monsters were all strong, it would be impossible for Shenyou Village to survive until now relying on its current armed forces.
After roughly understanding the situation, the next thing to do is to arrange the defense line.
Seeing Qi Sheng and Qi Yue's orderly deployment of personnel, several players felt a little itchy for no reason.
Especially Fang Yu and Qin Zhen, who never like to use their brains and are used to solving problems with force, have been engaging in intellectual confrontation with their teammates and unknown "omissions" since they entered this instance...
To be honest, they have long been suffocated, and urgently need a hearty battle to vent their pent-up emotions.
It wasn't until Qi Yue finished the final instructions and mobilization, and dismissed all the villagers, that Qu Yiyang walked forward under the eager gaze of his partner.
He was just about to show his strength when he saw Qi Sheng wave his hand at them.
This is... let them follow him?
Qu Yiyang hesitated for a moment, and moved closer to Qi Sheng's side first.
Chi Yu and others followed closely behind.
On the small road heading east, Qi Sheng said as if chatting: "I know you are 'outsiders', and the reason why you came here is to help us completely eliminate the threat of monsters."
Hearing the phrase "basic setting", Chi Yu frowned, and looked up at Qu Yiyang and the others ahead.
These guys... rushed to the important NPC so much earlier than her, but they didn't even pass on such basic information, and they still had to ask for it?
If Qu Yiyang and the others could hear Chi Yu's heartfelt voice at this time, they would definitely cry out for themselves with great aggrievedness.
It's not that they are too inefficient... It's that Qi Sheng and Qi Yue in this world, unlike the previous illusion, had an initial liking for them, but a vague hostility towards them.
This can be seen from their almost unchanged serious expression and blunt tone when they introduced the basic situation of the "monster attack".
Chi Yu was also vaguely aware of the "abnormality" of Qi Sheng in front of her, so she rationally kept silent, just like her other six teammates.
Seeing that no players responded, Qi Sheng didn't care: "The batches of 'outsiders' who came here in the past have shown full combat power. There are now seven of you, plus me, there shouldn't be any problem in guarding one direction alone. .”
