Spirit of the Mountain

Chapter 226: Defensive Counterattack According to the time on the mechanical watch, this lunch break did not last long. Before the lunch ended, Zhang Cheng and the four of them also discussed the answer on what the team should do next, and called all the team members to vote. Facing the deathly unknown, instead of continuing to explore the fog and jungle, everyone supported going back when choosing the answer to find their lost "comrades". During this tiring adventure, all the team members felt that they had become real warriors. A soldier will never abandon any of his comrades no matter how difficult the environment is. They ran the wrong way, followed the wrong target, and after wasting a few days, they found nothing. At least Zhang Cheng and the others found a villager who seemed to be from a nearby village. After listening to what the villagers said and facing the five missing comrades, everyone unanimously chose to save their comrades first. It's not that the team members are all selfish and only care about themselves, but facing the "monster" in the mouth of the unconscious villagers and low morale, they rushed in without sufficient preparation. After analysis, Zhang Cheng and others felt that Apart from serving as food for the monsters, people like myself probably don't play much of a role. To deal with the "wasp monsters" flying in the sky, are they going to throw stones and attack them? As long as you hide the wasps at home and don't run around in the wilderness, there's nothing wrong with hiding them for a while. As long as they wait a few days, after Zhang Cheng and the others return to the village to report the situation, and then bring targeted equipment, they can quickly kill and rescue the village along the original road. As for everything this strange villager said, Zhang Cheng and the others believed part of it despite their suspicion. Although everyone was curious as to why an unknown person appeared nearby and claimed that he was a nearby villager, at least it was certain that this person was from Huaguo. Since we are all from the Flower Country, it is necessary to lend a helping hand when we are able. Therefore, after the villager said something vaguely and fell asleep, everyone combined the current situation and collectively discussed the next execution plan: first, the team returned along the original road, although the forest was a little denser. The fog was getting thicker, but the road that the large group of people had cut all the way was still clearly visible. Then, during the selfish return journey, they will try their best to find those lost comrades. If no trace is found, and it is impossible to find it, the team will return to the village first, and after reporting the situation, another team will be arranged to search. Finally, it’s what happens after returning to the village. Reporting the situation to the outside world is one thing. The most important and urgent thing is of course to find the missing team members and regroup the troops to rescue the "neighboring villages". Whether they can defeat the "Monster Wasp Swarm" or not is not a question for the time being. At the very least, it is necessary to rescue the trapped villagers. After making these decisions, the outgoing team from Tangxi Village began to return. Time waits for no one. Every minute wasted means one more minute of danger. Villagers from neighboring villages waiting for rescue and lost comrades also lose a point of life. In this case, the team left behind some redundant resources that cannot be used temporarily. Equipment, after hiding these things and marking them, they quickly set off towards the road they came from. As expected, there were ready-made roads, so there was no need to search for traces bit by bit. Also, after discarding a lot of baggage and traveling lightly, it was estimated that it would only take a day and a half to reach their first destination. A place to rest. But this weird forest and the "monsters" formed by the fog didn't seem to want them to leave easily. More than five hours after the team returned and set off, the situation arose. First, an increasingly strong sweet fragrance emanated from Zhang Cheng's backpack. Then, after this strange smell enveloped the entire team and floated far away, the unconscious villager suddenly woke up. After inexplicably shouting something like "The monster is coming, run away", he shouted again Xilixie fell into a coma. Sensing something was wrong, Zhang Cheng and the others immediately found the wasp tail that was the source of the strange smell, wrapped it in soil again, and sealed it in a metal can, but the sweet smell from before had already been tainted with it. on all the team members. Not knowing what dangers would arise, Zhang Cheng and the others had no choice but to passively speed up their march and took out their weapons and equipment to be on guard. But these limited defenses still failed to allow them to escape the coming danger. When the team marched to the front of a valley, there was a "buzz, buzz" sound in the mist-filled air. Then, black shadows were seen swooping down from the thick fog, attacking the panicked crowd below. Zhang Cheng cooperated with the two masters to resist the first wave of attacks with some extraordinary means. With the help of the "magical means" of the three of them, the morale of the entire team was quickly boosted. In the process of fighting and retreating, although they did not knock down many wasps from the sky, they still maintained the formation firmly. Didn't cause any trouble to Zhang Cheng and the other three. After fighting for a while, Zhang Cheng and the two masters felt that it was not possible to slow down their retreat and be slowly wasted here. After repelling a wave of raids, they made a decision after discussing with the militia captain. A wave of wasps broke out, killing the wasps that were not too many in front of them, and then retreated at full speed to avoid a long night and many plans. The location to destroy the enemy was chosen in the valley not far ahead. It was an excellent location for anti-aircraft defense. Two straight stone walls, similar to a line of sky, guarded both sides of the road. The narrow road between them gave the wasps less room to move around in their attacks. The lush trees and vines growing crookedly on the cliff can also play a certain role in blocking enemies. These vegetations are the best first line of defense. They can not only block the enemy's sight but also play a great buffering role. When these ferocious wasps swooping down from high altitudes and carrying strong winds are blocked by plants and lose most of their momentum, defense and counterattack will definitely be much easier. It was Zhang Cheng and the other three who took off, attracting the attacks of wasps in the air, and the large force quickly withdrew into the valley. After they established their formation and took precautions, Zhang Cheng and the two masters began to retreat in an orderly manner. After two rallies, Zhang Cheng and the three of them got a moment's rest with the help of the large formation they formed with their comrades, and then the counterattack began. A battle of annihilation before escape began.
