In the second half of the night, it was Allen's turn to be on duty. He sat cross-legged on a moss-covered rock with Gojoseon between his knees. Allen closed his eyes, not the slightest bit like being on duty. But in reality, his aura enveloped the entire camp. In the eyes of some exotic beasts that could look directly at Origin Energy, they would see a faint layer of flames enveloping the camp. From time to time, sparks would appear and disappear from the flames.
At this moment, he used his perception to replace his eyes, monitoring every movement near the camp. Even Sigu used the intricate network of roots underground to spread out, pushing this perceptual network hundreds of meters into the depths of the forest. The edge of the network was blurry, and it gradually became clear from the outside to the inside. As for the surroundings of the camp, no wind or grass could escape Allen's perception.
In his perception, this area was very quiet, but just as the moon was high in the sky, a few blank spots suddenly appeared at the western edge. Those few blank spots came very abruptly, as if Allen's perceptual network had been bitten off by something and stripped away. Allen focused his attention to sense, but the blank areas seemed to be nothingness, and he couldn't sense anything.
This was abnormal. It was obvious that something was blocking Allen's perception. Then, these empty areas spread out, pushing in the direction of the camp, like a few undercurrents in the deep sea.
Allen opened his eyes and shouted, "Alert, enemy attack! The enemy is attacking from the west! "
Almost at the same time he gave a warning, a large buzzing sound came from the forest to the west. A soldier immediately threw a torch towards the woodland to the west. The torch landed on the ground and formed a pile of fire, illuminating a corner of the forest.
The soldiers quickly reorganized and built a defensive line in the camp. Allen stood on the stone and looked towards the forest to the west. Under the light of the fire, several strands of black smoke suddenly shot out from the forest. This black smoke was clearly some kind of substance that could block perception. It bypassed the ancient tree as if it had a mind of its own. When it was still a hundred meters away from the camp. Scarlet dots lit up in the black mist, and then bats flew out of the mist.
Hundreds and thousands of bats whizzed past, forming a dark cloud that shrouded the camp.
"Use the Fire Oil Grenades and scatter them!" Allen shouted.
Immediately, more than a dozen soldiers in the defensive line threw out fire grenades in different directions. The grenades exploded in mid-air, and the gunpowder splattered everywhere. When it came into contact with fire, it ignited again, immediately forming a cloud of fire. A flame appeared in Allen's eyes. The color of the fire cloud suddenly turned from light to dark, and the intensity of the fire rose sharply. In an instant, the oil was completely burned out, but the range and power of the fire jumped by a few levels. Immediately, a large number of bats fell down in flames. Before they even landed on the ground, they had already been burnt to a crisp.
The Nitre Flame Lightning wasn't that powerful, but Allen used the Flame Monarch's ability to increase the power of the flames, instantly burning most of the bats to death. At this moment, the roar of the Flame Fighting Rifle sounded from the defensive line. Lines of fire interweaved into an aerial firepower net, intercepting and strangling the remaining bats. But these nocturnal bats were just a prelude. Strange squeaking sounds came from the black fog, and then small but agile figures pounced out of the black fog.
Under the light of the fire, a figure flashed. The flames illuminated its dark green shell. These humanoid monsters were slender and less than 1.5 meters tall. There were scarlet insect compound eyes on his green head, and even his mouth was like the mouthpiece of some kind of insect. These bugmen moved quickly and surged over in groups. The warriors of the King Of Mountains in front of the defensive line roared angrily. Their shields were placed against each other, and they quickly interweaved into a shield wall.
When the bugman's front line collided with the shield wall, it was like a green wave hitting a reef. Immediately, a row of bugs flew backwards. The bug shells cracked and even shattered under the intense impact, and yellow-green juice splashed out from inside. The bugman retreated slightly and rushed forward again. At this moment, the shield wall split open, and an imperial standard Flame Dragon Rifle poked out, firing at the bugman in a round of attacks.
This batch of guns was purchased from Fat Peter in Satin City. In terms of quality, Fatty had also given him an additional batch of ammunition. Allen bought this batch of guns to make up for the lack of fire fighting rifles, but he didn't expect it to come in handy in the Howling Forest.
The bugman vanguard fell in a row, and the guns retracted after firing. The warriors of the King Of Mountains pushed forward with their shields and collided fiercely with the bugman. Allen narrowed his eyes and wasn't in a hurry to go on stage. He observed the bugmen. These "specialties" of the Howling Forest were undoubtedly agile, but their shells were very fragile. However, the mantis-like forelimbs of the bugman were exceptionally sharp and could not be ignored. The armor of the King Of Mountains warriors couldn't withstand a few cuts from them, and it would be torn open. It was not simple.
"Nairi!" Allen pointed in the direction of the bugman.
Nairi and the other Azure Dragon Knight immediately understood. The five of them dispersed and rushed past the King Of Mountains warriors into the bugman. They were all Level 17 or 18 experts, and this battle was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Especially Nairi. The Origin Energy flames on her body rose, and her aura was like a tide of jade, one wave higher than the other. The water energy in her hands condensed into swords, and the two-handed swords in Nairi's hands turned into two balls of jade light, immediately clearing out the bugs.
At this time, the Inch Fire Archer had already cleaned up the harassing bats in the air and began to concentrate fire on the invading bugman. The infantry soldiers who had attacked with guns earlier also threw away their guns after a few rounds of shooting and pulled out their swords to bury them in close combat. Although there were many bugmen, they didn't have any strategic awareness. They just surged forward and relied purely on their numbers to kill the enemy. On Allen's side, the division of labor was clear and they covered for each other. There were also Nairi's five Azure Dragon Knight s as support nodes. Although the number of bugmen seemed to be endless, the defensive line of the camp was also very tenacious. No matter how the bugmen attacked, they stood firm.
Suddenly, Allen raised his head and looked into the depths of the forest. He saw that ancient trees were constantly falling to the left and right. The earth trembled, and a giant beast was charging over. Allen took a breath and the flame marks on his body lit up. He unleashed the ability of the Fire Monarch with all his might, and the campfire in the camp burned brightly, illuminating the camp as if it were daytime. Allen raised his hand, and several pillars of fire rushed out of the bonfire with terrifying momentum.
The bugmen were thrown into chaos by the sudden appearance of the flames. Then, in the forest behind them, a few big trees spontaneously ignited. The fire was so fierce that it was as if several huge torches had been erected. The ancient trees were burned by the flames and collapsed, crushing many bugmen to death. The flames spread again, burning the bugmen's formation behind them into chaos. At this moment, two giant bugs suddenly crashed into the flames.
They were like giant rhinoceros beetles with dark black shells. Even if the flames burned their bodies, their shells wouldn't burn red. It could be seen how thick their shells were. There was a thick, T-shaped horn on the giant worm's flat head. A row of bug eyes below the giant horn flickered with green light. They rushed through the flames and sent the bugmen in front of them flying like tanks. It seemed that they were planning to break through the camp's defensive line in one go.
"Lola!" Allen pointed at the giant bug on the left, while he pounced on the one on the right.
Lola had already activated the wild call and was in the form of an orc. She rushed over with a huge sword in one hand, and her running posture was wild and full of tension. Lola didn't even look at the bugman. She directly crashed into the enemy formation. However, the inertia of the sprint and the explosive Origin Energy wrapped around her constantly sent the bugs in her way flying. In terms of momentum, it actually didn't lose to the giant bug on the other side.
The giant bug seemed to know that Lola was going to stop it and let out a sharp cry. The T-shaped horn lowered and shoveled down the ground, constantly ploughing up the soil and bugmen. When it was about to come into contact with Lola, the T-shaped horn suddenly arched upwards and was about to send Lola flying.
Lola's beast pupils shrank, and her Origin Energy rumbled in her body. She stomped on the ground, and a shallow pit silently sank into the forest ground. Lola jumped up and the giant sword bounced high. She pulled it with both hands and immediately pressed down with the momentum of a mountain piercing through the sky, heavily slashing down on the giant bug\'s strange horn.
A faint ripple exploded, and the bugmen around Lola and the giant bug fell like straw blown away by the wind. The giant bug\'s strange horn crackled, and then the bug liquid splashed everywhere, and the giant horn shattered. Lola snorted coldly, and her body spun twice before landing. The giant sword stabbed heavily into the giant bug\'s head, and then dragged it forcefully, cutting open the bug\'s body along the way. When Lola jumped down from behind the giant bug, the giant bug behind her cracked in half. Its left and right bodies collapsed, and bug blood sprayed all over the ground.
Only then did Lola exhale and look at Allen. The battle on Allen\'s side had long since ended. His giant bug was enveloped in flames, and only a rough outline could be seen. The sound of the shell cracking could be heard from the flames, and there was a line of fire between the giant bug and the camp. In that line of fire, countless bugmen died and were injured.
After the two giant bugs fell, the bugmen began to retreat. Allen didn\'t intend to chase after them, so he let them leave. When the last bugman disappeared into the depths of the forest, the battle ended.
Needless to say, those bats, bugmen, and giant bugs were definitely controlled by the Queen of Fear. Judging from tonight\'s situation, it was clear that the Queen of Fear did not welcome outsiders like them. However, Allen didn\'t need it to welcome him. It was just that Allen couldn\'t figure out why the Queen of Fear wanted to capture Regis and the others. I\'m afraid I have to ask that exotic beast personally for this answer.
The next day, the team continued to head west. The further west they went, the more they could feel that the entire forest was filled with malice. The creatures controlled by the Queen of Fear also repeatedly attacked the team, but they didn\'t form an army like last night, but there were a lot more types. There were snake-like monsters hiding in ancient trees but with insect shells; there were also some strange bugs that attacked suddenly from the ground. They were only the size of a basketball, but they had spikes like hedgehogs, and then they shot them to hurt the enemy.
And so on and so forth.
At first, Allen left it to the warriors to deal with them. Later, he saw that they were struggling to deal with these creatures. Coupled with the fact that these things liked to launch surprise attacks, it undoubtedly slowed down the team\'s advancement. Allen simply took the lead. Gojoseon pointed to the ground, and as he walked, he exuded terrifying heat. He constantly spewed fire from the trees or the ground, either burning or forcing the creatures hiding in the dark.
Just like that, it was noon. The forest gradually thinned out, and suddenly, his eyes lit up. A large lake appeared in Allen's eyes.
