Killing the US fear starts from the fatal bend

Chapter 179 "The Famine" and the Second Coming
Edge of Phoenix.

Compared with the number of locusts lost by the plane, they are not even a drop in the bucket.

The black locust cloud was not affected at all, and flew towards the city without stopping. After observing a large number of undefended prey, the locusts jumped down excitedly, and any living thing that could move on the ground could not escape the gnawing of the locust swarm.

The mouthparts of the evolved locusts are exceptionally sharp, and they can easily bite through human skin and eat the fresh flesh.

A large number of locusts cling to and bite humans and animals. The front ones will come down satisfied when they are full, mate and lay eggs with other locusts, and more hungry locusts will fill up the wounds that have been torn open. It is more convenient to eat.

The locusts eat the buffet at the flowing water mat very quickly, and an adult can finish eating in less than 10 minutes. Of course, they only eat flesh and blood, and they still can't eat bones.

For a time, the whole community fell into chaos and madness.

People fled to the building one after another, looking for shelters, and those who couldn't escape were even rolled up by a large number of locusts and flew into the sky, then fell in struggle and fell to the ground, unable to endure the gnawing of locusts.

But after a while, these locusts created at least a hundred smooth bones.

However, the official mentality of the Phoenix City is not comparable to that of New York in the comics. No matter how many big troubles have occurred, the police will not upgrade their equipment.

After experiencing several major turmoil, the entire Phoenix City, even the poorest Mijarco District, has changed its guns and prepared a lot of weapons and equipment to deal with all kinds of strange enemies.

The police station has also received funding that is several times higher than in previous years. A large number of new police officers have been recruited, the police force has been greatly strengthened, police benefits have been improved, and police officers are often trained to deal with various emergencies.

Of course, this only happens in Phoenix.

Who made it so difficult here.

People who were relatively safe indoors called the police and described the tragedy to the police.

Hearing that the enemy was a large number of locusts, the police immediately followed the plan for dealing with a large number of small enemies, put on airtight and tough clothing, picked up flamethrowers and other equipment, and began to drive out and kill the locusts.

Pieces of locusts were burned to death by the flames, and only a small amount fell on the police officers, but there was nothing they could do with the fully airtight protective clothing.

At the same time, the army stationed outside the restricted area of ​​​​Tvina district also began to move.

For safety reasons, in order to prevent these locusts from being the enemy's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, they kept all the superhumans, and only sent 1/3 of the mobile troops, wearing protective clothing, and setting off with flamethrowers.

Although these locusts have a large number, strong bite force, and abnormal reproductive ability, if they were in ancient times, it would not be a problem to directly destroy a country.

But this is fucking modern.

After experiencing the chaos at the beginning, except for the first batch of dead people, most of humanity has calmed down.

The people of Phoenix City, which has been plagued by disasters, have rich experience in encountering such sudden attacks. They are just bugs, and they can't even open a big iron door.

The airtight concrete buildings that can be seen everywhere make it impossible for locusts to enter. Even if a small number of insects get in through the vents, they will be slapped to death one by one by the people who are still in shock.

Without a huge advantage in numbers, these locusts are no different from ordinary bugs.

The position at the top of the human food chain is obtained by killing with a knife and a gun. As for how to kill efficiently, these locusts are not one-tenth as strong as the terrifying upright ape.

Before Luke arrived, the situation in the city was under control. Driven by the flamethrower, the locusts began to flee indiscriminately, trying to fly into the air to escape.

At this time, another piece of special equipment carried by the police also came in handy.

Dragon's breath bomb!
Dragon's breath bullets are extremely lethal at close range, but the magnesium particles they contain are too small, so the flying distance is extremely limited, the effective range is greatly reduced, and there is no practical tactical value.

In the design of the special plan, its great power, portability, especially the universal damage bonus of the flame to the dark creatures, hit the hearts of the leaders of the police station at once.

Under the alternating attacks of dragon breath bombs and flamethrowers, the number of locusts dropped rapidly, and soon, about one-fifth of the number of locusts were wiped out.

As if some mechanism was triggered, all the locusts began to shrink rapidly. Even the insects that were still gnawing on the flesh and blood quickly put down the delicious food in their mouths. Their wings flapped at a frequency that was hard to distinguish with the naked eye, and flew into the sky.

The police and the people stationed in the army looked up. At this time, if there is a single-shot powerful weapon such as firing individual rockets, it can achieve remarkable results. Unfortunately, the target is the locust swarm, so they don't carry it.

A few policemen immediately called the police station and asked for heavy fire support, while the rest were looking for a place to hide and constantly observing the changes of the swarm.

Soon, the locusts flew to a height of several hundred meters, gathered together, and turned into a huge sphere in a black mass.

A burst of black light emanated from the invisible core, and a large number of locusts in the periphery instantly lost their activity and fell from the sky. More locusts continued to compress inward, and it seemed that they were going to evolve from stragglers to a whole.

Not long after, a monster riding a pitch-black steed that looked like an ancient European knight stepped out from the locust swarm. All the remaining locusts seemed to have exhausted their vitality and turned into black and yellow dust, floating in the air.

Luke returned from outside the city and saw exactly this scene.

Is this just in time for the transformation in the second stage of the boss battle?

Luke murmured in his heart, before he flew over, the people below couldn't hold back anymore.

Previously, they had dealt with dense swarms of insects, and their superhuman abilities were not as good as a fire. The superhumans stationed in Phoenix City did not contribute much. Apart from rescuing people, they spent more time fishing. People with flame launchers were the main force of the attack.

But the black knight flying in the sky in front of him doesn't look like an ordinary police officer can deal with it with a flamethrower.

Most superhumans don't seem to have the ability to attack the enemy from a long distance. A few people with physical abilities casually removed railings, iron balls, etc. from their sides, and threw them at the knight as hidden weapons. Unfortunately, he was extremely agile and dodged those projectiles with a few swings.

There are also a few mages, who seem to be trained by the Flame School, and their casting speed is a bit slow. The two of them worked together for a long time before they came up with a "secondary fireball technique".

On the other hand, there was another person, who should be born with a stronger soul, and learned the "fireball technique". After half a minute of guidance, he finally condensed a basketball-sized fireball.

By the time one large, two small and three fireballs flew into the sky, the locusts had already condensed into knights.

The black knight dodged a few times, avoiding the impact of the fireballs, but soon the three fireballs continued to chase him under the guidance of the mage's spiritual power.

The spear in the knight's hand flashed, passing through two "secondary fireballs" and stabbing them, and another basketball-sized "fireball" flashed past the tip of the spear, directly hit the knight, and exploded instantly.

Before the sorcerer could be happy, a black circle of light exploded from the center of the explosion, like a black hole, absorbing all the high-temperature flames that exploded, revealing the unscathed knight inside.

Afterwards, the knight clamped his legs, and the black horse under his crotch leaped rapidly in the air, and charged the mage with four hooves.

The black horse was extremely fast, and it came to the mage's side in an instant.

The physical ability teammate on the other side of the mage came over in time and tried to help him block the knight's impact, but when he was halfway through the charge, his legs suddenly gave way and he staggered. He watched helplessly as the black knight pierced the mage with his spear and picked him up.

The mage was still struggling, the dark light flickered on the black knight, and a strange attraction was transmitted to the mage's body through the gun body.

The mage who was struggling was silent for a moment, and his body changed from full of flesh and blood to an old and withered corpse in a few seconds, slipping from the tip of the spear and falling to the ground.

Luke, who arrived belatedly, brought raindrops of magma from the sky, covering all the escape paths of the knight, and the attributes of the black knight were also detected by Luke during the dive.

【Apocalypse: Famine】/【Incarnation of Locust】

The mutated and out-of-control locust swarm attracted a ray of will to apocalypse famine, and condensed into an incarnation under external stimuli.

【Skill】

[Aura of Desolation]: Use the power of famine to absorb the energy of all life within a certain range centered on itself. The speed of absorption is related to the strength of the enemy and the state of the enemy.

[Mounting]: When riding a mount to launch an attack, the individual and the mount will be regarded as a whole, and the attributes will superimpose each other.

[Swarm Will]: Famine can summon a large number of extraordinary locusts and drive them to attack the enemy.

[Killing Evolution]: With the killing of life, Apocalypse Famine will project more will, continuously enhancing the ability of the avatar, which can increase by up to 5 times on the basis of the initial form.

In a blink of an eye, Luke was already approaching "Famine" with a thunder gun in his hand, and faster than him was the fire rain summoned in the sky together.

Under Luke's control, the drop-shaped magma smashed towards "Famine" with its thin tail. Before it got close, the energy in it was weakened by the [Aura of Desolation], and it lost its previous hot temperature.

Magma heat energy is also absorbed!
Luke saw that the separated magma rain had failed, and with a thought, he gathered the scattered lava to form a sphere and followed him closely.

Sure enough, the resistance to [Aura of Desolation] was greatly enhanced.

As he entered the range of the halo, Luke also felt that his own energy was quietly draining out. Although it was not much, he did feel uncomfortable all over, and the amplitude of Harpy's wing flapping also decreased.

But under the impact of inertia, he still locked on to the opponent at a very high speed and charged straight away.

The mount under the black knight "Famine" dodged past with an unimaginable dexterity, and when passing by, a few lenses on Luke's body spilled.

He kept the spear in his hand, continued to charge at high speed, and thrust the spear forward again.

The gun tip and half of the gun body were submerged in the front mirror of the body, pierced out from the lens that had just been spilled, and sank straight into the black horse's belly.

Luke exerted strength with his upper arm, and with a sudden push, pushed the Thunder Spear further in. Then with a thought, the spear submerged in the horse's belly instantly disintegrated and exploded, turning into a blue-white thunder again, raging inside the black horse.

The black horse's forelegs were raised high, almost standing up, while "Famine" was still sitting firmly on its back, showing no sign of being thrown off.

But no matter how good his riding skills are, he can't drive a dead horse.

There was already a football-sized wound on half of the horse's body, and the wound was even bigger deep in the soft abdomen. There was basically no good meat damaged.

A wave of offensive has just stopped, and the follow-up attack immediately hits.

A large cloud of magma rushed towards the black knight, ah, no, now it is the black warrior "famine".

After losing his mount, he froze for a moment, and his mobility was obviously impaired, and it was too late to dodge.

In a crisis, black light burst out of his body, and the [Aura of Desolation] was turned on to the maximum power, trying to reduce the temperature of the magma. At the same time, the spear in his hand was also covered with black black light, and stabbed straight at the center of the magma cluster.

The temperature of the surface layer of the magma dropped sharply under the action of energy absorption, and it lost its dazzling orange color and became dull. However, as the spear pierced the magma mass, a large amount of lava poured out inside. Some climbed along the spear to "Famine"'s hands, and some of them turned into violent waves of fire under Luke's control, instantly submerging him.

Luke drove Harpy to make a sharp turn in the sky, and turned around aggressively again. At this time, the weapon in his hand had turned into the most convenient beheading axe.

This ax doesn't work well against nimble players, but against large beasts or controlled enemies, it's not too cool.

On the ground, "Famine" resisted the invasion of magma with extraordinary energy, and at the same time used [Halo of Desolation] to continuously reduce the high temperature of the lava. In desperation, the halo was overloaded, and the magma around his body cooled instantly and then solidified, turning into a basalt prison, trapping him in it.

Before he could break free, Luke had already arrived on Harpier, swung the giant ax with force, and cut off the head of "Famine" neatly.

"Famine" was severely injured, but he only resembled a human being. Even though he lost his head, he still retained a certain ability to move, and he was not completely dead.

As the head fell, the power of [Desolate Halo] instantly dropped to the minimum.

Luke jumped down from the air, activating the inner magma, and a large amount of lava eroded inward along the wound.

The beheading ax in his hand also took the head directly, no, the black knight has no head.

Chop off directly on the neck.

The sharp blade of the ax and Luke's vigorous slashing with both hands directly split the black knight "Famine" into two halves.

Even for non-humans, this is a fatal injury.

"Famine" turned into ashes like his mount, and the ability tree absorbed experience.

Just as Luke was about to turn his head and leave, an inaudible voice came from the place where "Famine" dissipated.

"The second coming of Christ."
