LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 184 Support
"Hurry up and hurry up, we're finally here." Looking at the majestic mountains so close at hand, Zhu Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but let out a long breath.
"With the strength of our team, if we weren't so unlucky, we would have killed everyone on the main peak long ago."
Fang Ming dropped his tactical backpack and sat down on the thick root of the tree exposed above the ground.
Zhu Feng looked at the exhausted team and felt sad for a moment.
Compared with a few days ago, the size of the team has expanded a lot, reaching nearly 500 people. Looking at the team of human extraordinary people in the entire ruins, such a large group is rare.
Regardless of the extraordinary people from the Yan Kingdom or the extraordinary people from the Bohai Kingdom, although they share the identity of the same country, most of the teams that can actually be gathered together are only a few dozen people in size.
After all, in the face of such a huge temptation as relics and treasures, there are always limited people that everyone can trust, and it is difficult for people who don't know everything to get together.
The consequences of rashly traveling with others are often the same as those of the group of extraordinary beings who were attacked and killed by the Huang family.
A team like theirs that could gather around five hundred soldiers was nothing short of a miracle.
It stands to reason that such a team could walk sideways in the ruins, but the fact is that they had really bad luck along the way. They were either attacked by a group of giant beasts, or they ran into an ambush of demon monks head-on. During this period, they were even jealous of them. The team of harvested human supers teamed up to attack.
Fortunately, they were strong and united. If they had changed to another team, even if they were not destroyed in the battle, they would have fallen apart earlier in the dangerous situation.
"Don't be paralyzed and take action quickly. Captain Qi, you lead people to set up security posts; Captain Xu, you lead people to fetch water; Captain He, you lead people to collect some dry wood to light a bonfire."
Zhu Feng took a breath and immediately assigned tasks non-stop.
He commanded the team in an orderly manner. Although the person whose name was called was tired, he acted quickly without any hesitation or complaint, and the work was carried out without any compromise.
Watching this scene quietly, Fang Ming didn't find it strange at all.
After getting along with each other for a few days, he has long been accustomed to the elite style of this team, and he also knows that the soldiers who join in one after another on the road are all their own.
It's not that there were other teams who saw their large number and wanted to join in and hug their thighs halfway, but they were all politely rejected by Zhu Feng. Obviously, Zhu Feng didn't want them at all if they were not his own.
Fang Ming was very curious about Zhu Feng's identity, but he resisted asking.
If you really ask, if you know the other person's secret, you may not be able to escape. This is completely unnecessary and is asking for trouble.
An hour later, the team settled down and several bonfires were lit. Most of the soldiers ate their rations and began to meditate and recuperate from the energy consumed by the long journey.
Just when Fang Ming was trying to break through the realm, he suddenly heard Zhu Feng's stern shout: "Everyone is here, the enemy is coming, prepare to fight immediately!"
Fang Ming opened his eyes, grabbed his firearm and stood up: "What's going on?"
Zhu Feng's face was grim: "The perimeter sentry has just reported that demon monks are approaching to smear the enemy. There are many of them, and they are encircling them in a roundabout way. We are afraid that we are in big trouble!"
Fang Ming was startled: "Surrounding us in a roundabout way? Are you trying to annihilate us?!"
Zhu Feng sighed: "We are really unlucky, we should have been shot out of the first place.
"Our team has a large number of people. If we are eaten by the demon clan, other teams will definitely be frightened and may move back on a large scale. This should be the opponent's purpose."
Fang Ming opened his mouth and was speechless. In the end, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
This luck is truly incredible.
Incredibly bad.
Zhu Feng had no time to say anything more to him. While commanding the team to fight, he sent people to contact the extraordinary teams on the left and right, requesting them to come closer for support and respond.
Fang Ming also did not hesitate and quickly rushed to his combat position.
Since the demon race has made up its mind to scare the monkeys, it must use its superior force to launch a thunderous attack, and send people to block the other extraordinary teams on the left and right, forcing the other side to be unable to effectively rescue them.
It is conceivable that the situation of the team is already extremely dangerous. If one person fails to respond well, not only the whole army will be annihilated, but at least they will be killed and retreat!
......
Hearing the faint sound of fierce fighting in the distance, Su An, who was sitting on the treetop practicing, immediately stood up and climbed to the top of the tree with Zheng Nanzhi to look there.
In the dazzling firelight of dozens and hundreds of grenades and grenades exploding one after another, dense tracer bullets shuttled back and forth among the woods, and the arrays of Force lights with gun barrels illuminated each other, outlining a vast and noisy battlefield there.
"Such a big movement must have been a fierce battle involving more than a thousand people." Zheng Nanzhi opened his red mouth in surprise.
One or two thousand soldiers of level six or above were fighting fiercely. This was a scene they had never seen before.
Even though Zheng Nanzhi has been a transcendent for many years and established a four-star sect, he has never encountered such a battle.
Even though they had encountered many monster monks and black tide warriors on their way through the Changling Mountains, apart from the fierce battle between the two air forces in the mid-air battlefield, the enemies they encountered on the ground were actually scattered, and each group had a large number of people. They are all limited, sometimes only one or two hundred.
"Should we go over and take a look?" Zheng Nanzhi asked.
In her opinion, it is best not to participate in such a large-scale battle. The only one of their own in this ruins is Zhu Feng's team, but the opponent is only more than 200 people. Looking at the scale of the battlefield in the distance, it is obvious that any The number of people on either side will not be less than five hundred.
Although he thought so, Zheng Nanzhi did not make a decision rashly. Instead, he took the initiative to ask Su An's opinion and waited for the other party to make up his mind.
This certainly does not mean that Sect Master Zheng lacks independent opinions. She has managed her sect for many years, and giving orders and making decisions has long been instinctive.
It's just that the person standing in front of her at this time is Su An. She knows that the other person's ability is better than hers, and she is willing to listen to the other party's arrangements.
"It doesn't hurt to take a look." Su An ran forward, jumping among the treetops with Zheng Nanzhi.
"We have been walking around here for a while. I have never seen the demon clan gather a team of more than a thousand people to take the initiative before. What happened today?" When Zheng Nanzhi said these words, he had many thoughts in his mind.
Su An pondered: "Assembling elite manpower to take the initiative to attack, in addition to weakening our combat power, should also slow down the pace of our attack.
"It seems that the Monster Clan's exploration of the main peak has not been completed yet, and it should not be completed within a day or two."
Zheng Nanzhi nodded repeatedly: "So, we still have a chance."
The two quickly arrived near the battlefield, and then climbed up to a high place again to take a look.
As they got closer, they found that the battlefield was clearly divided into three parts. The battles on the left and right sides were smaller in scale and less intense than the battlefield in the middle. The number of people fighting on both sides should be between one and two hundred.
The middle battlefield is obviously the main battlefield.
Observing the light of the force array on the gun body and the distribution of the explosion fire of grenades, it can be seen that a group of people are surrounded by troops several times their own.
The two sides were fighting inextricably, and the battle was extremely fierce. Generally speaking, the attacking side had the absolute upper hand. Their firepower suppressed the surrounded side to the point where it could not lift its head, and the encirclement was tightening step by step.
After watching for a while, Su An frowned.
Like him, there were many soldiers who came over to observe the situation. They were scattered on the crowns of various giant trees, but after seeing the general appearance of the battlefield, these people all shook their heads and retreated.
Obviously, the strength of the demon monks makes them troublesome, and there are blocking positions on both wings, which makes them unable to think of leading a team to rush to rescue.
This is normal. Most of the extraordinary teams only have a few dozen people. If these people get close to them, it will be as good as death.
It is obviously not an easy task to contact more than a dozen teams to fight together, and the result is likely to be thankless.
Coordination becomes troublesome when there are more teams. Without unified command, it is difficult to defeat such a powerful enemy, and the casualties will not be small.
The purpose of everyone entering the ruins is to hunt for treasures. If the combat power is lost in such a battle, there is no way to make up for the loss.
There are as many as 10,000 human extraordinary beings who have come near the main peak of the ruins. They are indeed powerful. However, these 10,000 people come from different countries and different forces. They lack a command system, and tracing the root cause is just a mess.
In comparison, although the number of demon monks who stick to the main peak is definitely much smaller, they are a whole, have unified command, and have extraordinary combat power under orders and prohibitions.
"In addition to blocking the extraordinary reinforcements on the left and right, there are more than a thousand monster monks on the battlefield in the middle. The surrounded team of warriors will probably not be able to escape the end of destruction."
Zheng Nanzhi keenly discovered that the movement on the battlefield on both wings had gradually decreased.
You don't need to think about it to know that it was the team of human extraordinary people who had supported the past. After seeing the strength of the demon clan, they realized that they could not play their due role and had begun to retreat one after another.
"Let's go and save them!" Su An suddenly made up his mind.
Zheng Nanzhi's eyes widened a bit: "Is it Zhu Feng and the others who are being surrounded?"
Other than that, she couldn't think of any reason for Su An's choice.
"If it hadn't been for them, they would have been besieged by the demon cultivators several times their size and would have been in disarray and running away. How could they still be as stable as Mount Tai, united together, and fight back firmly and forcefully against the demon cultivators?" Su An's voice was sonorous and powerful. .
"That's true." Zheng Nanzhi suddenly realized.
......
"Cease fire."
A tenth-level demon cultivator raised his hand and ordered his subordinates in the left and right positions to stop.
There were no human transcendents in sight. The group of guys who intended to support their tactical goals disappeared deep into the dark woods after leaving some corpses behind.
"Boss, do we want to go back and participate in the encirclement and annihilation battle? This gang of evil spirits has retreated, and there will definitely be no more people who want to die in the future. We have nothing to do here."
After a while, a ninth-level monk made a suggestion lazily.
The tenth-level demon cultivator thought for a moment and thought it was a good idea.
However, before he could make a decision, he suddenly noticed that the ground began to shake slightly. In the blink of an eye, the slight shaking turned into violent shaking, as if thousands of troops were charging towards him!
The demon cultivator narrowed his eyes, this was definitely not a movement that humans could create.
Sure enough, a moment later he saw a large group of giant beasts appearing in the woods, running toward the battlefield in the middle. Some of them passed in front of them, and some of them came directly towards them.
"Hey, for such a big battle, there must be hundreds of giant beasts, right? I think it must be more than five hundred."
The ninth-level monk said lazily, "I've never heard of so many giant beasts attacking from this direction before. It's strange."
As a demon monk, he is no stranger to the behemoths of the ruins. After all, there are two to three hundred behemoths on the central battlefield behind them, which they brought out from the main peak.
"Indeed I haven't heard of it."
The tenth-level demon cultivator touched his chin and felt very strange. It was impossible for him to not receive notification of such a large-scale mobilization of giant beasts in advance, "Could it be that the Holy Envoy felt that our progress was too slow and temporarily added reinforcements?
"But shouldn't it come from the main peak? How come it comes from the periphery?"
When they said this, they both felt puzzled and did not realize that the danger was coming.
When they noticed that the giant beast looked at them in a wrong way, the giant beast had already rushed forward.
puff!
Before the ninth-level demon cultivator could react, a cheetah had already pounced on him, and with a bloody bite, its long teeth pierced his body!
The tenth-level demon cultivator reacted quickly and immediately rushed to the high treetops. Watching the roaring group of giant beasts knocking down one of his own cultivators one after another, he was so shocked that his jaw dropped to the ground:
"What's going on? Are these beasts going crazy?"
Before he could figure out the answer, a giant ape rushed towards him. The tenth-level demon cultivator quickly activated the force and showed his demon bloodline: "Beast, see clearly who I am!"
Then, he clearly saw the giant ape curling his lips with disdain on his face, and then a huge slap came towards him. Even if he blocked it with a knife, he was slapped down from the treetop.
As a tenth-level monk, of course he would not die just like that. Although this slap was very powerful, it just made him feel depressed.
Compared to the physical suffocation, the giant ape's expression and behavior obviously gave him more mental suffocation.
Before he could stabilize his body, a goshawk swooped over and stamped him hard with its talons, causing him to fall straight to the ground. Only then did he feel despair and fear.
When he fell to the ground, he was immediately submerged by the torrent of giant beasts and could never get up again.
