Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Chapter 474 Blood Spider...Lord of Blood! (joint chapter)

According to Lu Meng’s original plan.

Even if you don't fight seven in and seven out, you still have to kill at least two rounds.

But because the other party's commander died.

As a result, the sand bandit army lost its backbone and morale collapsed prematurely.

Now the sand bandits suddenly exploded like blown balloons, and their figures are everywhere in the mountains and plains. Most of them are running towards the border, and some are fleeing in panic... because this is a borderland and swamp. At the intersection, there were even little clever ghosts rushing towards the swamp, just betting that Lu Meng would ignore him when he was chasing others.

From a battle perspective, this was undoubtedly a great victory.

But Lu Meng is far from satisfied.

So far, this battle has not achieved his goal.

"The Red King..." He lowered his sword and raised his hand in the air.

The swamps are rich in products, but the level of development is low. Just like the Amazon rainforest, there are very few places suitable for living in such a large rainforest. Except for Shark Village, the population in the swamp is actually extremely sparse. The same area combined is not even larger than a large town in the Kingdom of Shark, let alone the fertile green plains of Auckland in the Holy Kingdom.

At the same time, although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is also difficult to expand outward.

For example, if Lu Meng wanted to lead the coalition on an expedition this time, it would be nearly ten times more difficult for him than the bandits' quick assembly.

Even if the sand bandits were defeated this time.

When the other party recovers, even if they dare not attack in a large scale, they can still harass and plunder from time to time, and they will never have peace.

The same goes for other forces.

Just like the battlefield they are currently on, it actually has a swamp climate, but due to its vulnerability to invasion, no swamp group dares to settle and expand here.

This is a problem that no previous king of the swamp has been able to solve.

Lu Meng suddenly clenched his fist, as if catching the lingering bloody smell floating in the wind.

But there's nothing the Swamp King can't do.

He can do it!

This side of the sand bandits.

Seeing the killing god stationed in the center of the battlefield, he had no idea of ​​pursuing him.

As they fled, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how powerful the opponent is, after all, there is only one person and he is unable to do anything at all.

Generally, in the final stage of the battlefield, the victorious side will send highly mobile troops to pursue Zhubei. The gains in this process are even higher than those in a head-on fight.

But now, you are alone.

And as many bandits as there are, the troops can be divided into as many routes as possible.

Even if they went to chase them, they would only be able to behead a dozen more.

The others had already disappeared.

The previous panic and fear quickly dissipated in the hearts of these bandits.

Even, there was a sense of joy.

——Fortunately, I ran fast and didn't get stuck there.

the other side.

Those who had been kidnapped by the sand bandits gathered together, including farmers from the roaming areas, miners from the old mines, and more herdsmen from the Shan area.

The excitement of escaping slavery wore off.

They also calmed down at this time.

For farmers and miners, they are already homeless at this time - if they want to return to their roaming areas, they must cross the border land, not to mention whether they can do it if they have nothing, if they encounter sand bandits and black dragons on the way Ninjas will definitely be retaliated against.

For the Shandi herdsmen, they had offended the Beifeng clan, and the sand bandits had just dispersed and might come back in the future. Even if they returned to their respective camps, the future would be uncertain.

In the distance, among the chaotic bandits like a swirl of ants.

The only young man who stopped was so conspicuous.

Even if he is riding a giant beast and holding a heavy sword, he looks invincible - but human power will never save him.

This is the general trend.

The leader of the Farstrider clan supported and comforted the clan members, walked to Ethan, and sighed: "It's good to be safe... life has to pass."

"This time, I really have to thank you properly, but it's a pity..."

In any case, they are lucky to be able to survive freely.

And this was all thanks to Lu Beiyou.

As for the rest, don’t expect too much.

It's just a pity that this time the tribe's property, cattle and sheep have also suffered heavy losses. Even if they want to thank the other party for hosting them, the Far Traveler clan can't give anything, and others may not like it... the clan leader thought to himself.

Just like how he once entertained the merchants who settled down here.

Little did he know that in the eyes of the other party, it was all useless flattery, even annoying and annoying.

"Wait..." The keen old herdsman suddenly murmured.

He turned his head sharply and looked south.

That was the direction of the dense forest in the swamp. From a distance, it looked like a patch of green. Although it was still a little sparse, it was indeed considered lush.

And there was muddy sand under everyone's feet.

A slight tremor came from the soles of his feet.

There's something wrong with the greenery in the distance...it has a hint of red light.

The red gradually expands.

Until, like a red tide!

"This is..." Ethan's pupils dilated instantly, "Blood Spider!"

The same exclamation resounded among the bandits' rout.

"Blood Spider...how could this happen!"

Shrubs, treetops, mud beneath the sand.

Red carapace jumped out one after another, their teeth were sharp, and their steps were like knives.

When you move, you are as quick as the wind.

Living on the border of the swamp, they had naturally heard of this ferocious beast. They would occasionally attack passers-by, but in the past they were scattered and wandering individuals, and the threat was not great.

But now.

Densely packed blood spiders surged out of the woods, layer upon layer. Their carapace occasionally collided as they ran, and the sounds they made together were like thunder.

Insect tide!

Why is it this time?

"Ahhhhh!"

The sand bandits who ran toward the swamp bore the brunt of the attack and crashed directly into them.

In just an instant, he was overwhelmed.

The small blood spider first disembowelled the sand bandit, got in, and sucked it big.

The larger adults show their fangs and eat their limbs.

After a while, only clean white bone hair was left.

And this didn't even create a ripple in the red tide.

"Run!" The herdsmen were also frightened.

They quickly dragged their families and rushed towards the shelter - as long as they entered dry sand and were exposed to the scorching sun, it would be difficult for the blood spiders to survive, and they would follow their instincts and retreat in advance.

But I just don't know if I can outrun these fast-moving beasts.

"Mr. Lu!" Little Dibu, who was being led, suddenly remembered something and turned around to shout.

Lu Meng and Tieniu were still stationed in the center of the battlefield.

Perhaps attracted by the bloody smell of the corpses on the ground, the blood spiders surged towards the battlefield and did not pursue the escaped civilians.

Just, keep going like this.

The person who saved them would be instantly submerged by the red tide.

However, a scene that little Dib will never forget occurred.

Even if this young herdsman has grown old in the future and has forgotten many things - but when the starry sky shines, Dibu, as the leader of the clan, is wearing a big fur and sitting by the fire. Under the longing gaze of the child, he is still I have not forgotten to tell the younger generation of the Far Traveler clan this scene that is engraved in my memory:

The ferocious tide of blood spiders hit the young man just before they hit him.

Suddenly they separated to both sides.

It's like a rock standing on the waves, or like thunder splitting the dark clouds.

The red tide split into two, rushing past both sides of Lu Meng.

He didn't even look back.

The little black sheep Kony popped his head out of the bag again. There was no fear in his eyes. He turned his head and looked in all directions, looking at the swarm of insects rushing beside him, as if he was inspecting his own army.

Lu Meng pressed it back.

At the same time, a blood spider that was much larger than other members of its race broke away from the red tide and walked slowly to his side, keeping pace with Tieniu.

"Xiaohong."

Lu Meng rolled over.

I touched its head, which was not smooth and cute.

Blood Spider Mother.

Then, there was another one.

The second one, the third one...

A total of five giant blood spiders stood among Lu Meng, as if they were serving a monarch.

Each insect mother represents a fully developed blood spider army!

Xiaohong glanced at the changed Tieniu, recognized it, and immediately grinned.

It hasn't forgotten the days when it was tied to this stupid thing's back.

Tieniu just said something. The blood in its eyes had faded. The weakness after becoming mad made it a little lazy, and it ignored the demonic insect.

Lu Meng looked at the panel silently.

Under the influence of the B-level beast taming module, he can not only control the movements of insect mothers, but also issue some commands to subordinate nodes on their behalf - provided that these insect mothers have been tamed and their resistance is not high.

Otherwise, we can only forcefully control the insect mother herself.

After all, they are powerful enough and wild at the same time.

However, such an order is not precise enough. It is best to directly control the subordinate nodes of the insect mother, such as Xiaohong's first seven descendants. As the most mature group of blood spiders in the new insect group, they are equivalent to commanders and relays. Standing in the same role.

Lu Meng took over the control authority of several insect mothers one by one.

Xiaohong was the one he had tamed long ago, the other was the newborn insect mother he had captured, and the rest were all captured and trained with the help of the Skinner during a raid on the Burning Forest, and they also added a lot of offspring.

The blood spider probably never dreamed of it.

One day, humans will actually take the initiative and snatch themselves away as pets.

After this wave of losses, the wild insect tide outside Peipi Town will have to subside for at least four to five years.

It can be considered that Lu Meng fulfilled his promise to Da Gray.

The insect wave continues to sweep through.

The sand bandits let out an unprecedented howl of ghosts and wolves - with the blood spiders' speed of action, they were the best pursuit force.

At the same time, dying in their mouths would be worse than being hacked to death by Lu Meng.

Because it was almost eaten alive.

Some are even captured alive by their heirs and used as a breeding ground for feeding their brothers and sisters.

If the sand bandits were to form an organized military formation at this time.

With human wisdom, the crossbowman's arrow attack, and the assistance of his teammates... he can still resist one or two.

However, they retreated prematurely.

Now, the mountains and plains have turned into a hunting ground for blood spiders, and the scattered sand bandits are prey waiting to be caught!

Click!

The sharp knife-like steps cut into the bandit's chest one after another.

The sand bandit, whose leg was bitten by his teeth, fell to the ground. He was only a step too slow before he was overwhelmed by the adult blood spiders that rushed towards him.

A sand bandit counterattacked and shattered the blood spider's hard carapace.

However, they are endless, and they are truly an army that is not afraid of death.

Such resistance is of no use.

"This is not enough." Lu Meng closed his eyes.

He began to take over the large blood spider adults in the insect tide that were responsible for transmitting orders.

One, two...thirty!

Each large adult insect can lead a squad of blood spiders. They can accurately hunt down the fleeing sand bandits, instead of following their instincts and swarming up, only to be attracted by the corpses.

Lu Meng has tried it.

The upper limit that can be forcibly controlled using the animal taming module is thirty animals at the same time.

Creatures such as the Insect Mother and the Iron Ox will also occupy positions if controlled.

And 30 is exactly the upper limit of the number of teammates in the original version of "Swordsman".

However, hive-like biological groups such as blood spiders are undoubtedly stuck in a bug.

At this moment, Lu Meng has transformed into a micro-management master.

"But, it's not enough." He frowned slightly.

There are also many sand bandits who have escaped the pursuit of the Blood Spider Team.

Suddenly, after taking over thirty nodes, the number of large blood spiders controlled by Lu Meng continued to rise!

31, 32, 33...62!

On the panel, in addition to [Animal Recruitment (B Level)], the second module:

[More teammates · 256 people (B level)].

The cooperation between modules is unlocked to the maximum limit!

In the feelings of the bandits, the blood spiders all over the mountains and plains were instantly controlled by the same person and had a unified consciousness... Not only were they not afraid of death, but they also had strategies and tactics, and they were not like blind and ignorant wild animals at all. .

It looks like a well-trained army!

This is more terrifying than any wild insect swarm.

And their only mission.

Just kill all the sand bandits here!

The carrion birds hovered in the air, not daring to fall down at all. Even though their hunger instinct attracted them, another instinct called "fear" made them more rational.

In the overlooking view, red tide surged, and the ground was covered with blood.

"This... this..." The Sand Bandit, who was still lucky and thought that if his teammates could feed the blood spiders, he would be able to escape, fell into despair.

Many people took out sharp knives and stabbed them directly into their chests.

They would rather end their own lives,

Nor dare to face the pain and fear of insect bites.

Some people seemed to have lost all consciousness. Even if their bodies had been half bitten by the blood spider, they seemed not to know the pain and just stared blankly into the distance.

Looking at the figure surrounded by the terrifying insect mother and the stars.

The sight itself was more terrifying than all the fangs and claws.

Is he just a human...?

Before dying,

Many sand bandits turned around like lanterns, remembering the information mentioned by the commander before setting off——

There is a new leader in the swamp, and he is called the Red King by the local people.

But there is also a less credible tidbit.

Someone secretly called him:

"Lord of Blood."

It is said that it can tame the vicious beast called the blood spider.

Those who heard it just laughed it off.

Even if it is true, it seems that they only captured one or two half-dead adult insects, kept them in a cage for viewing, and passed them down from generation to generation, thus creating such a legend.

But now, the legend has become reality.

Moreover, it is even more terrifying.

The bloody insect tide brings bloody killings, like the master of the battlefield.

They have to pay the price for their insufficient imagination.

What's more, even the most cautious person.

Nor would he consider that the enemy he faced would be driven by a swarm of insects.

——This has been a long time in the past.

There was only one case in the entire continent.

Lu Meng let go of his hand and felt the bloody smell that filled the sky a hundred times a thousand times thicker. The screams and gnawing sounds echoed in the wind, noisy and sweet.

"The definition of swampland needs to change." He said softly.

Rotten Town is no longer the boundary of this dense forest.

Wherever the Blood Spider Legion can reach, there is the swamp.
