"Zhao Yu! You've let me down! "
Chen Qiang glared at Zhao Yu and shouted in a deep voice.
"Chief Instructor, I …"
Zhao Yu felt wronged.
When he met Chen Qiang just now, he was indeed embarrassed.
As the leading inheritor of Yangshan Ancient Martial Arts, he took over the task of guarding the Western Region. He had been cautious and conscientious, but at the last moment, he fled with less than a thousand people. He was on the verge of a mental breakdown!
Were he and his soldiers afraid of death?
Afraid!
Not at all!
As a soldier, it was understandable to die on the battlefield, but it had to be worth it!
If they died recklessly and silently, those invaders would still drive straight in, but the Divine Land would not receive the relevant information.
This was what Zhao Yu was most worried about.
Therefore, he could only withdraw with the soldiers. Even if only one of them survived in the end, he had to report the situation here!
Now that Chen Qiang had arrived, Zhao Yu could finally put down all the mental burdens and lead the soldiers to their deaths!
This was what Zhao Yu wanted to do now!
He did not think there was anything wrong with this, but he did not understand why Chen Qiang still blamed him.
Like Zhao Yu, the soldiers did not want to be stigmatized by Chen Qiang, and they did not want to be mistaken for cowards!
Therefore, they responded to Zhao Yu's call. They had already made up their minds to die, and they wanted to use their fearless deaths to prove that they were not cowards who were afraid of death!
However, Chen Qiang stopped them!
"Zhao Yu, you've let me down too much!" Chen Qiang reprimanded in disappointment.
"What are you doing? Ah?! Are you going to die? To prove that you're great heroes? You're soldiers, but not men of sacrifice! "
"But …" Zhao Yu held the long sword, the veins on his hand bulging. He was still very emotional!
Chen Qiang waved his hand fiercely, stopping Zhao Yu's explanation. At the same time, he turned around and looked into the distance.
Because of his conditioned reflexes, his mental strength had been spread out all the time. Although he didn't expand it to the maximum extent, he could still see the situation within a thousand meters like the back of his hand!
Seeing Chen Qiang's serious expression, Zhao Yu and the others also followed Chen Qiang's gaze. However, their spiritual power was not enough to discover anything.
Rustle —
A thousand meters away, the first thing Chen Qiang heard was a strange noise. Immediately after, on the ground that was nearly ten miles wide, a densely packed army of reddish-brown beetles was pushing towards them!
Zhao Yu and the others were right. It was as if these beetles had never appeared on Earth!
They looked too strange!
Their eight claws easily supported their tortoiseshell like bodies, and their speed was not slow at all. The shell on their backs completely covered their heads, revealing only a mouthpart that was as wide as their bodies. Inside the mouthpart, there were nearly a hundred sharp needle-like teeth, opening and closing from time to time.
In less than a minute, Zhao Yu and the other fighters also heard the rustling sound of beetles crawling towards them.
This sound was too familiar to them!
Although they were ready to die, when they heard this rustling sound, the fighters' faces changed and they tightened their grip on their weapons again.
At this moment, Big Front Teeth and the other two hundred people who were originally following Chen Qiang finally caught up.
"Chief Instructor!"
Big Front Teeth was the first to run over.
"Big Front Teeth — Good brother!"
Zhao Yu saw his good brother whom he hadn't seen for nearly half a year and hugged him with tears in his eyes.
"Brother Zhao Yu — You —" Seeing Zhao Yu's weathered face, Big Front Teeth's throat choked and he couldn't speak anymore.
Both of them were ancient martial arts inheritors of Mount Shouyang. They had a deep relationship with each other and were as close as brothers. As for Zhao Yu, as the first batch of disciples who came out, in just half a year, he had already experienced several life and death situations!
Chen Qiang solemnly turned around and ordered, "Big Front Teeth, let the people you brought give some energy crystals to Zhao Yu's people. Protect them well and rest here. Without my orders, don't move!"
"Yes, Chief Instructor!"
Even without Chen Qiang's explanation, Big Front Teeth could see the situation of Zhao Yu's group. Therefore, he immediately ordered the small teams to distribute the resources.
There were only thirty or so people left with superpowers led by Zhao Yu. The energy crystals had long been used up. As for the people that Big Front Teeth brought, each of them had hundreds of energy crystals in their storage bracelets. It was easy to supply these thirty or so people.
Some of the disciples even took out a few jugs of wine. If it was under normal circumstances, these fighters would definitely drink to their heart's content without hesitation.
But now, they weren't in the mood!
After resting for a while, the warriors once again looked forward nervously.
At this moment, the beetle team was only a mile away from them. The rustling sound was already very obvious.
After knowing the situation, Big Front Teeth took the initiative to ask for battle, "Chief Instructor, let me take my brothers!"
Chen Qiang shook his head.
He could understand how Big Front Teeth and the others felt.
They had just arrived at the Western Region, and it was a good opportunity for these young people to show their skills. Naturally, they were eager to fight.
But these beetles numbered in the millions. Even he wasn't confident in dealing with them, let alone the disciples that Big Front Teeth brought.
Previously, Zhao Yu and the others had already lost tens of thousands of border guards to the beetle army. If Big Front Teeth and the others rashly rushed forward, the result wouldn't change either.
Chen Qiang originally wanted to let Big Front Teeth and the others do their best and let them hone themselves on the battlefield.
But there was a limit to everything. If he forced them to rush forward despite knowing that they couldn't do it, wouldn't that be suicide?
"Zhao Yu, Big Front Teeth, take the others and retreat a hundred meters. Don't act rashly. I'll go take a look!"
After saying that, Chen Qiang jumped up and rushed toward the beetle army alone.
"Brother Zhao Yu, should we follow him and take a look?"
Seeing that Chen Qiang had already left, Big Front Teeth hesitated and asked.
Although he already knew what had happened from Zhao Yu and the others, he didn't see it with his own eyes. Without experiencing it himself, Big Front Teeth still didn't believe that small beetles could be so powerful.
What's more, the nearly two hundred people he brought had laser guns in their hands. They had enough energy, so there was no need to worry about wasting it.
"No!" Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "Big Front Teeth, listen to the Chief Instructor. Let's take the others and retreat a hundred meters to observe first."
Although Zhao Yu also wanted to go and take a look, Chen Qiang had given the order first. Besides the disciples of Shouyang Mountain, there were still eight hundred ordinary soldiers. He couldn't ignore the lives of those soldiers.
With a light leap, Chen Qiang appeared above the beetle army.
Millions of beetles, one next to another, moved like a giant brown brocade, and stretched for more than ten miles.
This was a moving meat grinder.
