In the northern front line of Chang 'an City, the number of Dead Leaf Locusts in the distance had decreased significantly compared to a few days ago. However, their numbers were still terrifying.
Sand filled the sky like waves and torrential rain.
A large locust that was ten times larger than the other locusts rushed out from the Dead Leaf Locusts. It turned into a gray shadow and rushed towards the tank formation.
"Intercept it!" ordered a high-ranking military officer.
Previously, there had been large locusts that had flown out and rushed into the formation, causing many casualties.
However, this was just the beginning. Large locusts continued to fly out from the Dead Leaf Locusts. There were at least a thousand of them, and they were aggressive.
Behind them, there were even more smaller Dead Leaf Locusts, closely following behind the large locusts.
These large Dead Leaf Locusts were all elite monsters. Unless they were hit directly by artillery shells, they would not be affected by normal firearms and bullets.
The military was hesitant because missiles and artillery shells were still firing. They could not send out the military's familiars. Otherwise, they might accidentally injure their own side.
If they did not send out their familiars, it would be even more troublesome when these large Dead Leaf Locusts rushed into the formation.
However, if they stopped firing and sent out their familiars to deal with these large Dead Leaf Locusts, the smaller ones behind them would fly over. These large numbers of small Dead Leaf Locusts were the most terrifying enemy.
For a moment, the military officers commanding the battle at the front line were in a dilemma.
"White phosphorus bombs! Use white phosphorus incendiary bombs to attack! " An old general ordered decisively. "At the same time, tanks and rocket vehicles retreat. Pull back the front line. I don't believe that these locusts are infinite!"
This general had a high prestige in the Chang 'an military. He had even participated in the founding of the country. In terms of courage, he was far from an officer who grew up in peacetime. His orders were quickly carried out.
White phosphorus incendiary bombs flew into the sky. When they reached the target location, they exploded and turned into countless flames that fell from the sky.
The bright light was like a tree of fire. Sparks fell from the sky. The Dead Leaf Locusts along the way were ignited with the slightest touch. In an instant, the sky turned into a sea of fire.
As many Dead Leaf Locusts were still flying in the sky, they suddenly turned into red clouds. Half the sky was dyed red.
The white phosphorous incendiary bomb had a low ignition point. It could burn at 40 ° C, and the temperature could reach thousands of degrees. It was not something that the Dead Leaf Locusts could endure. Moreover, due to the density of the locusts, the intense pain caused the locusts to flee in all directions, further increasing the intensity of the fire.
A low, irritated cry came from the depths of the Dead Leaf Locusts. Then, the ignited locusts flew away from the main group.
"Hey, why don't these little bastards use the sandstorm?" A soldier's eyes widened.
Previously, when they had used the white phosphorous incendiary bombs, the Dead Leaf Locusts had driven the sandstorm to blow the incendiary bombs away. They had even blown away the objects attached to the incendiary bombs, which had almost blown them back. Therefore, they had not continued to use the incendiary bombs.
The large Dead Leaf Locusts were very fast. Many of them dodged the cannonballs and got closer. One could even see their sharp hooks.
Just as they were closing in,
Loud croaks of frogs rang out on the battlefield.
Red afterimages flew past, and giant red toads jumped out from behind the army formation.
"Gua!"
Over a hundred red-colored Red Fire Toads, with fist-sized translucent Red Fire Toads growing on their backs, were lying on the ground like the roots of old trees.
He opened his mouth wide, and balls of fire gathered in the depths of his throat. Then, cough —
Bah! Bah! Bah!
Fiery red liquid was spat out from their mouths. The strong muscles of their mouths allowed them to easily spit it out tens of meters away.
The thick red liquid adhered to the large Dead Leaf Locusts like white phosphorous incendiary bombs. It stuck to the surface of their bodies and burned at high temperatures.
Intense flames spewed everywhere. Some of the large Dead Leaf Locusts trembled and fell to the ground, howling.
After a few rounds of attacks, at least a hundred of them were killed.
Their crimson tongues rolled out and swallowed the large Dead Leaf Locusts into their mouths. They crushed them and swallowed them into their stomachs.
They had also inherited the greedy appetite of the Voracious Golden Toads. They devoured their prey in a frenzy and swallowed it into their stomachs. The entire process was tireless.
The military personnel stared at the scene with their mouths agape. Where did these large red toads come from?
They remembered that the army did not have such familiars!
.....
The next day, a soldier in military uniform delivered the commander tier Electric Monster Core Crystal to Gao Peng's door. After handing the big red brocade box to him, the soldier straightened his back, put his legs together, and saluted.
After the salute, he turned around and went downstairs. There was a military jeep parked downstairs.
The neighbors looked curiously at the jeep with a military license plate.
"Which family is this jeep going upstairs to look for?"
"I think it's going to Gao Peng's house on the sixth floor."
Usually, these aunties and uncles liked to sit in the yard and chat about family matters.
"There was once. I remember it was at night. I was walking my dog in the neighborhood. I saw that kid from the Gao family bring a ghost home," one of the aunties said nervously.
"There are no ghosts in this world. You must have seen wrongly." Another old man waved his hand.
"Why don't you believe me? I definitely didn't see wrongly! "the aunty said loudly. She was very emotional after being doubted. "It was a skeleton. Its head was still emitting blue flames."
"Gao Peng lives above me. I watched him grow up. He's always been honest. So what if it's a ghost? The world has become like this. So what if there are ghosts? " Granny Chen, who lived below Gao Peng, adjusted her reading glasses and moistened the wool between her fingers. Then, she tried to thread the wool through the eye of the needle with trembling hands. She tried a few times but failed. Her hands kept shaking, and the thread and the hole could not fit together.
Granny Chen shook her head and gently patted the head of the Striped Gray Plate Spider. The Striped Gray Plate Spider stood up and hooked the wool with its tail. It aimed at the eye of the needle and pierced the wool through with ease.
"The sun today is just right." Granny Chen was lying on a rocking chair, basking in the sun leisurely. The warm sunlight covered her body, and she was exceptionally relaxed.
"Ah, forget it. Let's bask in the sun." Hearing this, the few old people lost interest in gossip.
After closing the door, Gao Peng took out the other ingredients needed to match the crystal core from the fridge.
Of course, the commander tier Electric Monster Core Crystal was not to be eaten directly by Da Zi. Gao Peng had already bought the ingredients needed to match it and put them in the bottom of the fridge.
He added the ingredients one by one according to the steps. There were a few times when he almost failed. Fortunately, he had accumulated a lot of experience and finally succeeded.
Putting on rubber insulating gloves, Gao Peng carried the bowl of soup out of the kitchen with a smile.
"Da Zi, come, drink up this bowl of soup."
