IJWTRQ Chapter 135

The moment Liang Xian woke up, he realized that he was enjoying the treatment of a lap pillow, so he turned his face and rubbed it against Tan Yan’s thigh, enjoying the warmth of the moment.

Since Tan Yan stopped going to the front line, they haven’t seen each other for a long time. Liang Xian told himself that this was to protect Tan Yan and let him have a good rest, but he still felt a little wronged, a little missing, a little sweet.

Seeing that he woke up, Tan Yan was not in a hurry to let Liang Xian go into battle again, Qiu Qizheng, the commander, did a good job, when encountering several dangers along the way, and he resolved them all smoothly.

After eliminating the giant mosquitoes that like to come out at night, they didn’t advance long before they encountered frogs living in the swamp.

This is no ordinary frog, it could even be called a red frog or a blood frog. Compared to the fist-sized mosquitoes, these blood frogs are pitifully small. Each one is only the size of a fingernail, but the jumping ability is very strong, their well-developed hind legs allow them to jump more than ten meters high, and they are quite flexible in their activities, it’s impossible for bullets to hit them.

They jumped onto the hovercraft and bit some ordinary people, the blood frogs are venomous and the person who was bitten by them is currently in a coma and has a high fever. Fortunately, the serum carried this time is effective for this kind of poison, the poisoned people’s fever subsided after being injected with the serum, and he is currently weak, lying on a hovercraft and falling asleep.

Qiu Qizheng quickly discovered when fighting blood frogs that they prefer to attack people who are injured and bleeding, judging that blood frogs are attracted to blood.

So a few metal-type supernatural beings drove a hovercraft alone, took off their shirts, and made a few cuts on their bodies to let the blood flow down, attracting blood frogs.

After most of the blood frogs were lured to the small hovercraft, the thick-skinned supernatural beings immediately covered the surface of their skin with metal and held their breath. The defensive supernatural being uses the protective wall to trap the hovercraft, Qiu Qizheng ordered people to throw fire bombs into the protective wall.

After burning the frogs, several metal-type supernatural beings were burnt black, and now they can only lie on the boat with the wounded, unable to continue fighting.

The fire is effective against most of the creatures in the swamp, but the fire bombs and flamethrower they carry have been exhausted, there are only nine fire-type supernatural beings, most of whom have lost their combat effectiveness, so the fire attack can no longer be used.

After hearing Tan Yan’s speech, Liang Xian knew that he can no longer remain idle. He jumped up immediately, and while everyone was not paying attention, he quickly kissed Tan Yan’s face.

“How far is it to the destination?” Liang Xian asked Qiu Qizheng with a serious face, as if he wasn’t the one who stole a kiss just now.

Tan Yan touched the place that was kissed and smiled.

“We have been moving slowly for 2 hours and we are still 30 kilometers away from our destination,” Qiu Qizheng looked tired, but his eyes are very bright, “The destination should be at the end of this swamp, soon.”

Liang Xian solemnly said: “Don’t take it lightly, I feel that the lord of this environment has not yet appeared, now we have run out of ammunition and food, and only 127 people with supernatural powers left to fight, may not be able to survive the last 30 kilometers. Don’t think about relying on Tan Yan and the little deer, this is our battle.”

“Yes!” Several squad leaders saluted Liang Xian in unison.

In this battle, Liang Xian fully demonstrated his excellent commanding ability, and has already established prestige in the supernatural team.

After the handover with Qiu Qizheng, Liang Xian took over the command again, he first looked at Tu Zishi, Yan Yongfeng had watched the whole night with his eyes open, and also transformed into a propeller to cut the water plants, after the bloody frog battle, he covered his eyes and lay on the big hovercraft, if he continue to fight, Yan Yongfeng’s eyes would be blind.

“Did you find anything?” Liang Xian asked Tu Zishi.

Tu Zishi pinches the center of his eyebrows: “For the time being, I didn’t find anything, but I felt a little uneasy. Do you think there will be some creatures that can block my predictive ability, why can’t I see the scene?”

“The Evil Consciousness can block it, it means that there will be other creatures that can block it. Nature is full of wonders, and the possibility of evolution is also infinite, we can even see the snake that’s about to transform into a dragon, what is impossible?” Liang Xian said.

“That’s true,” Tu Zishi nodded, “What kind of creature can stop my precognition?”

“Unclear,” Liang Xian shook his head, “But a few things are certain. Since it blocks your ability, it means we will encounter a surprise attack, the must be sent out where we can’t see it or it is difficult to find it, but now the sun is bright, the surrounding area is flat, and there is nothing obstructing the line of sight… In other words, either the attack came from the swamp, or something will affect our line of sight.”

Not long after Liang Xian finished speaking, fog began to form in the swamp. This mist came extremely fast, and within ten minutes, everyone was enveloped, and the visibility was less than ten meters.

The sudden appearance of heavy fog made the ordinary people on board panic, fortunately, after experiencing two consecutive environments, they were able to stay calm and looked nervously at Liang Xian and the supernatural soldiers.

“Is fog useful?” Liang Xian sneered, and called Qiu Qizheng.

There are still 5 people with wind ability to fight, Qiu Qizheng combined the strength of 5 people to blow a whirlwind with the hovercraft as the center, blowing away the fog.

With the current strength of the supernatural team, it is actually impossible for the wind-type supernatural being to cause such a big wind. However, the existence of Qiu Qizheng makes up for the shortcomings of the supernatural team, he can gather the power of many people, and turn the impossible into possible.

Liang Xian timed it just right, the moment the fog cleared, everyone saw a huge figure twenty meters ahead of the team gradually disappearing.

“What’s this? Why did it disappear?” Ah San asked with a frown.

“It should be some kind of creature with mimicry ability,” Liang Xian frowned, “It was planning to use the fog to approach us, but didn’t expect us to dispel the fog so quickly, and it was discovered before it had time to mimic. But it made up for this mistake in time and disappeared quickly, which means that its mimicry ability is very strong, if it can travel in the swamp and attack under the boat…”

He immediately said: “Drain the swamp below us!”

The earth-type supernatural being cooperates with the water-type supernatural being, one pumps out water and the other hardens, and the land under the hovercraft quickly changes from swampy land to solid land. Instead of being satisfied with their position, the supernatural team spread around according to Liang Xian’s orders.

Sure enough, when the hardening expanded to about ten meters, the mud splashed up in the direction of three o’clock on the right. It seems that some kind of creature is advancing under the ground, originally, it moved freely in the mud, but because the water is drained and the ground is hardened, it is difficult to move forward, and in a rage, it hit the ground and splashed clods.

“How many more shells, no need to aim, shoot there together!” Liang Xian pointed to the location where the clod flew up and ordered.

Yang Da Ma’s space has long since run out of inventory, and the soldiers are left with only the ammunition they carry. The 200 ordinary people who were protected were not to be outdone, most of them were special soldiers, and they also carried a lot of weapons. They don’t have as many attack methods as supernatural beings, but it’s still possible to use weapons to assist attacks.

For a while, the artillery fire was intense, and all of them hit the creature that couldn’t be seen clearly, but strangely, they only saw the bullet casings being bounced off, but they couldn’t hear the creature’s scream.

“Either there is no vocal system, or our attacks can’t hurt it at all. If such intense artillery fire cannot cause substantial damage to it, then…” Liang Xian couldn’t help but look back at Tan Yan.

Tan Yan sat quietly in the corner of the hovercraft, holding a sniper gun in his hand, and didn’t shoot with everyone. He still has a few rounds left, just in case.

Liang Xian couldn’t help but slap himself, at this time he thought of not how to solve the problem, but relying on Tan Yan, this is not good.

“Stop!” He made a few gestures, and the artillery fire stopped immediately, several people in close-fitting clothes with special metal protection on key parts leaned beside Liang Xian.

“Snipers assist according to the situation!” As Liang Xian said it, he rushed up with the soldiers.

These supernatural soldiers have never made a move in the previous battles, they have preserved their physical strength. Their abilities are not conventional water, fire, wind, earth, etc., nor can they release large-scale attack moves. They either can use the reflection of light to make themselves invisible to others, or their speed and reaction ability are far beyond ordinary people, or their jumping ability is amazing.

They are only useful for one thing, close-range assassination.

“Don’t zealously continue fighting, cooperate with the attack. The creature’s skin should be very thick, a knife may not be able to cause damage to it, but if we only attack a few fixed positions, it will definitely have an effect.” Liang Xian commanded in a low voice.

Twelve soldiers including him were divided into four groups, each carrying no less than ten short knives at their waists, and they rushed towards the invisible monster quickly, holding a knife in both hands, a group of three, like a few small flies, kept using the knife to draw shallow scars on the monster’s body.

The first cut was like cutting on a steel plate, Liang Xian’s arms were numb, but his expression remained calm, he turned around in the air and used the other hand to cut another wound in the same position and then jumped away. Then the second group stepped forward and attacked the other side of the monster.

Four groups attack around the monster in turn, the order is 1234, 1342, 1432, 4321, 4213, 4312… there are 24 attack sequences in the four groups, enough to confuse the monster.

The artillery attack just now was not ineffective, the dense artillery fire outlines the general shape of the monster. This is a monster thirty meters long and five meters wide, if the body under the mud is not considered, the height exposed above is about one meter, it seems to have no tentacles, only a long tail.

It’s a bit like a reptile, if it can’t attack from a distance like a supernatural being, then there are probably only two ways to attack, bite force and tail whipping, which are easy to avoid.

With a ‘crack’, the dagger in Liang Xian’s hand broke, he threw it away casually, and drew another knife from his waist.

Hopefully they’re able to deal a fatal blow to this monster before all the knives are broken.

It seems that the fog cannot be maintained during the battle, the fog gradually dissipates, the sun shines on the ground again, the monster becomes more and more difficult to maintain its mimicry, and finally reveals its figure in front of everyone.

This monster looks like a huge crocodile with extremely thick skin, the assault team can only leave a light white mark on it in one attack. It also looks like a gecko, in fact, the tail was injured during the initial artillery attack, but it is slowly recovering. It also has the ability of a chameleon, can imitate the color of the surrounding environment, and perfectly hide itself.

This monster contains almost all the characteristics of reptiles, only hoping that it’s not poisonous, otherwise, it will be almost invincible if it spits out a poisonous gas at close range.

When Liang Xian chose to attack at close range, he had already roughly determined that it didn’t have the means of long-range radioactive attack. If it had, it was already twenty meters away from the hovercraft when it was foggy just now, and it could directly attack everyone. But it didn’t, instead, it intends to sneak under the hovercraft from under the swamp, it should want to overturn the hovercraft. As long as the boat capsizes and everyone falls into the mud, even Tan Yan can’t save so many wounded and ordinary people at once.

When it used the fog to hide itself, seeing its skin was hard enough to withstand artillery fire, Liang Xian guessed that it was unable to carry out long-distance attacks.

‘Clang’! Another short knife was broken, but the other half of the knife was stuck on the reptilian monster and broke when it was pulled out, which means that their constant raids were effective!

Liang Xian immediately shouted: “Put more effort, pay attention to avoid the tail and teeth attack, the monster is particularly strong, no one can resist its whipping force, one hit is death!”

The assault team also understands this, they seem to be dancing with the god of death, almost jumping against the monster’s long tail, if they move even only 1cm less, they may be injured or bitten by the tail.

Once, twice… ten times, a hundred times, twelve soldiers continuously attacked the same position, and finally made the four vital points that Liang Xian had guessed in advance bleed.

“Sniper!” Liang Xian shouted.

The wound must be deepened as soon as possible, otherwise, with its recovery ability, within five minutes, the hard-won damage will heal again.

The snipers were ready a long time ago, four snipers locked the four wounds and pulled the triggers in succession.

If one shot doesn’t work, two shots, if two shots don’t work, four shots. Shoot all the remaining bullets, don’t believe that it can’t cause heavy damage to the monster!

Finally, the monster’s two-meter-high head tilted up, and let out a low and hoarse hiss, like a muffled thunderclap exploding in the vicinity, causing people to panic.

“Retreat!”

Under Liang Xian’s order, the twelve assault team members frantically retreated to escape as fast as possible, one soldier seemed to be out of strength, slipping in the mud and about to fall. At this time, the monster’s big tail had already swung over, and when it was about to smash that soldier into pieces, a sika deer with a flat plate on its antlers appeared in front of the soldier at some point, raised its front hooves, and blocked the monster’s tail.

It lowered its head, bit the soldier’s clothes, threw him on its back, and jumped onto the hovercraft carrying the soldier with a sprained foot.

The reptilian monster struggled in pain, the sniper didn’t mean to stop at all, it finally confirmed that it couldn’t hurt this group of people, after howling for a while, it turned around and blocked the bullet with its tail, and slowly swam away in the mud.

About ten minutes after it left, Tu Zishi nodded to Liang Xian, confirming that there was no more danger, and the people on the hovercraft let out a long sigh of relief.

Ah San sat on his butt on the boat: “Fortunately, its speed is not fast, fortunately, its movements are not flexible enough, fortunately, it cannot attack from a distance, otherwise we will all be finished, fortunately, fortunately…”

“Not a coincidence,” Liang Xian said calmly, “Thick skin, thick flesh, and a huge body will bring about the weakness of inconvenient movement, classical physics is still very practical in the macro world, just like playing a game, if you choose to be a tank, you’re bound to be slow, and if you choose long-range, you’re bound to have crispy skin, nothing is perfect¹十全十美 shí quán shí měi: complete and beautiful; to be perfect. in this world.”

“Then what about them?” Ah San pointed to the little deer and Tan Yan.

The little deer put down the injured soldier, because of throwing him on his back, the little deer’s lean body was covered with mud, which made him a little anxious, he wanted to rub Tan Yan to claim credit, but he disliked his dirty body.

At this time, a supernatural being who is still capable of fighting came over to wipe off the mud on the little deer’s body, with both gratitude and awe in his eyes.

If the little deer is not here, their operation will still be successful, but the soldier with the injured foot will probably remain in the swamp of this world forever.

After wiping his body clean, the little deer happily ‘clip-clop’ ran to Tan Yan’s side, and cried ‘Bell, bell’.

Liang Xian looked at them with a faint smile: “They are probably gods who came down to save the world.”

Beautiful, powerful, and gentle, in the warm sunshine, exuding a faint soft light.

Liang Xian thought, this is his family, he’s so happy.
