Those who reincarnate must die.
Chapter 262 Heavy Losses
Seeing the hell centipede come back to life, the surrounding soldiers fled again. But after the giant centipede twisted a few times, a small bump suddenly appeared on its head, and then its carapace cracked open, from which emerged a... hand!
Indeed, a hand, stretched straight out like a long sword, burst through the armor, covered in slime, and seemingly gleaming with a dark golden metallic sheen in the sunlight…
As this scene unfolded, the centipede's head fell again, crashing onto the city wall...
Then, a tall human figure burst through the head of the hell centipede and sprang out!
"Hunter!!"
Although his body was covered in slime and seemed to have a golden sheen, Feng Xi recognized the figure at a glance—it was Zhang Lang, who had just crawled into the centipede's belly!
"He's not dead!" Feng Xi excitedly raised the large spear in her hand and let out an excited scream.
However, Zhang Lang didn't have time to continue enjoying the audience's admiration. Standing on top of the centipede's head, he spat out the slime in his mouth and turned to look. The other two were also starting to climb up the city wall!
With no time to waste, he repeated the process, picking up the bomb again and using the same method of detonating it inside the body and then destroying it from within with his divine weapon, thus killing both of them in succession!
A huge size is indeed a huge threat, but if you are only big, then you will probably be full of weaknesses when facing a small but strong opponent!
You can easily crush an insect, but you wouldn't dare step on a nail of similar size!
Being tough, sometimes, means being strong!
After dealing with the three centipedes, Zhang Lang returned to Feng Xi and drew his long sword to slaughter them. Feng Xi was so excited that she jumped off her horse and, ignoring the slime on him, gave him a firm hug!
This left Zhang Lang somewhat bewildered. Feng Xi seemed to realize she had overreacted and quickly released him, wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes: "You've been too reckless. I... I thought you were dead!"
Zhang Lang shouldered his broadsword: "A few centipedes? They're not worth my life! Besides... the battle isn't over yet!"
Feng Xi was startled. Turning her head, she saw that both hell centipedes lay dead below the city, while the first one had crashed onto the city wall, its massive head resting on the wall, its body still on the ground, like a giant ladder. Insects swarmed up the corpse! A fierce battle had broken out on the city wall!
"Soldiers, charge with me!" Upon seeing this, Feng Xi hurriedly mounted his warhorse and charged forward with his spear in hand!
Zhang Lang, meanwhile, charged at the centipede's corpse with his knife in hand!
This centipede is over a hundred meters long and probably weighs more than a thousand tons, but pushing its head off the city wall wouldn't be difficult for Zhang Lang in his current state. However, he wasn't in a hurry to do so!
As the saying goes, it's better to guide than to block. If we throw this only ladder down from the city wall, those insects will attack from all sides. But if we leave it, they will concentrate their attacks here, reducing the pressure on other areas!
After a few days, these insects had overcome their fear of Zhang Lang. Moreover, there were many new species among them, all brightly colored, rushing forward one after another! As for Zhang Lang, he stood on the centipede's head, wielding his killing blade, truly a one-man army that could hold off ten thousand!
This fierce battle lasted from noon until sunset. Zhang Lang's killing spree was almost non-stop. The number of insects that died at his hands was countless. They piled up into two small mountains next to the centipede monster's corpse. Later on, he didn't even need centipedes anymore. He could climb up the city wall by stepping on the pile of corpses!
Under such intense combat conditions, Zhang Lang was under the sun the whole time, and his physical strength was constantly being depleted. In order to effectively block some advanced insects, he even activated Dragon Heart and Bullet Time. Even though he was almost tireless, he began to weaken due to excessive energy consumption and only managed to hold on after eating a special-grade military ration pill!
As the sun set, the insects finally retreated. The moment they confirmed that they had once again held the fortress, the soldiers didn't even have the strength to raise their arms and shout. One by one, they collapsed to the ground and fell into a deep sleep amidst the pile of flesh and blood mixed with insect and human corpses...
As for the reincarnators, the four novices had retreated to the fortress long ago, and of the six veterans left on the city walls, only five remained...
During the battle, Shang Xue was ambushed by a mantis monster and thrown out of the city, where she was devoured by a swarm of insects.
Unfortunately, this clever girl who figured out the gunpowder formula ultimately died at the hands of the most savage insects!
As for the others, they were all badly injured, and even if they drank the healing potion, they probably wouldn't be able to participate in tomorrow's battle...
After the battle, those who still had the strength began cleaning up the battlefield and treating the wounded. Zhang Lang also returned to the castle, bringing back samples of several insect corpses.
He needed to figure out what this new thin-shell structure of the insect was for, and whether it was related to the reduced damage effect of gunpowder weapons.
Now, including him, there are only ten reincarnators left...
Besides the five veterans, only Luo Zhonghua, Lin Yiming, Su Mingda, and Wang Chufeng remain as newcomers.
After resting for an afternoon, Wang Chufeng calmed down, washed off the bloodstains, and changed into clean clothes. However, his broken glasses couldn't be repaired, and there was nothing in this world that could replace them. This guy could only endure high-powered nearsightedness, squinting all day long, and occasionally using the remaining lens to see things.
"Professor Yuan is gone..." Zhang Lang carried the corpse of a mantis monster into the castle, glaring at the new recruits: "Who else knows how to dissect an autopsy?"
The newcomers fell silent. Wang Chufeng pursed his lips, then suddenly stepped forward and said:
"I know you're angry right now. The deaths of Teacher Yuan and the others are indeed partly my fault; I was the one who started the idea of farming points on the city wall… But you guys are also at fault. You didn't explain anything to us, and as newcomers, it's normal for us to have some suspicions. But now that things have come to this, what we should do isn't to blame and ridicule each other, but to unite and work together…"
Wang Chufeng was halfway through his sentence when Zhang Lang waved his hand, "Why are you rambling on? I'm just asking, who can dissect it, who can figure out what's going on with this bug?"
Le Xinyi stepped forward: "When Professor Yuan was performing the dissection, Ye Peng and I assisted her..."
Lin Yiming, who was standing next to him, raised his hand: "I helped out too..."
"Then it's your turn!" Zhang Lang left the insect corpse behind, turning and leaving Wang Chufeng standing there awkwardly...
Zhang Lang returned to the training ground, picked up the tattered massacre sword, weighed it against the huge rock, and finally shook his head and threw it away...
There's no need to sharpen it anymore. After a day of fighting, it's basically been chopped into an iron bar. This knife, as expected, didn't last six days...
"What, need new weapons?" A familiar voice came from behind Zhang Lang...
