Chapter 55 Advance to the Highlands

"Report to the battalion commander! The ammunition consumption of each company and squad has exceeded one-third. Will you continue to shoot? Please instruct!" More than ten miles away from the site of the insect swarm, a messenger stood straight in front of the battalion commander next to the war weapon that kept firing. The loud roar penetrated the roar of the artillery fire.

"Stop shooting!" The battalion commander raised his hand. In less than half a minute, all the artillery was silent. Only the red barrel and the smoke filled the surroundings also told the fierce battle situation just now. He pinched off the cigarette and said, "Those who can be killed must be dead. Those who cannot be killed should have escaped, but we don't need to play with each other. Those monsters will deal with them. Now ask for instructions from their superiors and ask for the next instructions!"

"Abide by the order!"

...

The dawn team was already in a little chaos. Before Luo You was dragged into the ground by the insects, he had already thrown out Ling. The girl sat blankly on the yellow soil. After passing the initial daze, she ran over crying and screaming, digging desperately at the place where Luo You disappeared, digging with blood, as if she wanted to dig out Luo You.

"Damn it!" Ghost Hand swears. People who fought with the bugs knew what it meant to be dragged into the ground. There was darkness and light, lack of air, and humans had no ability to dig. It was completely the home field of the bugs. Once dragged in, it basically turned into food that was dismembered by the bugs. There was almost no possibility of survival. Ghost Hand looked at the countless gradually bulging bumps around him and shouted, "He is dead! Go away quickly! Those people's shells exploded all the bugs!"

"Don't leave! I won't leave! He won't die!" Ling cried miserably, his hands were already covered in blood, but he was still digging regardless of the pain. She didn't believe Luo You died just like that, absolutely didn't believe it!

Eric's eyes had already had some warm liquid. He gritted his teeth and picked up Ling, desperately following the ghost hand's footsteps. He let Ling cry in his arms, and let Ling bite him desperately without frowning. Luo You was dragged to the ground by the insects to kick him away. What Luo You cared about the most before was Ling's safety, so he must protect Ling for Luo You now, and tears and other things he would not be too late to wait for the war!

"Let's go! What's the point! I can't save it!" Lu Ren kicked Arnold's ass in a daze and roared, "If you don't leave, all the bugs will come out!"

"No... look at that..." Arnold pointed blankly at the ground where Luo You disappeared.

Lu Ren looked over and saw that the pit that Luo You was dragged into on the ground was expanding rapidly, and a large amount of soil and gravel leaked downwards, forming a vortex, and a ferocious roar could be heard vaguely.

"Boom!" Suddenly, a figure in a cloak broke out of the ground, bringing out yellow sand all over the sky. There were broken arthropods of insects inserted into his right leg, and blood was constantly flowing. It was Luo You! What was even more shocking was that Luo You was holding a bug in his hand, dragging this creature, which was called the king of underground, out of the ground.

This is a bug with a length of more than three meters and a height of one meter. It has a dark brown protective shell, a mouthpiece that makes people numb the scalp, four pairs of insect feet for walking, and one pair of extremely thick ones, which are obviously an arthropod used to dig holes.

This is the most common engineer insect in the insect swarm. It is usually responsible for digging tunnels and carrying mud and stones underground. Therefore, it is very powerful and also acts as a sentinel. The most common attack method is to suddenly break out of the ground, use the pair of thick arthropods to destroy the prey's movement ability, and then drag it into the ground to strangle it.

However, at this time, the underground killer was extremely miserable. The pair of arthropods inserted into Luo You's right leg had been broken. Half of the carapace on his back had been torn off, revealing the ragged thin membrane insect wings inside. Another compound eye had been blown up, his whole head was crooked, and a harsh scream came from his mouth.

Luo You dragged the insect out of the surface, and the penetration wound on his legs did not seem to affect his movements at all. The eyes under the cloak emitted a scarlet and fierce light. He smashed the engineer worm's mouth with one punch, making it unable to make any sound again. Then he held his right hand into a claw shape, and five fingers stabbed the engineer worm's head like a spear, tearing off the entire insect head directly.

The headless corpse of the engineer worm struggled on the ground for a while, and the disgusting body fluid flowed out from the fracture like pus. The four pairs of worm feet kept twitching, but soon they turned their stomachs and fell to the ground, and there was no movement.

After killing the engineer worm, Luo You pulled out the arthropod on his leg, and Ling, who was carried by Eric, struggled and jumped down, and cried into Luo You's arms.

Luo You rarely dislikes tears, which represents weakness, and said in a low voice: "I'm fine, keep going!"

"Oh my god, my hand tear the bug! You are such a monster!" Eric jumped up excitedly and hammered Luo You's shoulder, and smiled generously, "I owe you a life!"

"Find a chance to pay me back." Luo You said, picked up Ling and rushed towards the eastern highlands.

Ghost Hand squinted when he saw this scene. He believed that if he was accidentally dragged into the ground by the engineer worm, he would not die, but he would definitely not be able to break free so easily, let alone drag the huge engineer worm out with his bare hands and tear it out. Luo You is really a sniper?!

As the crowd was marching, more and more bugs had been awakened by the previous shelling, and emerged from the ground, roaring and attacking the invaders.

Without Luo You's reminder, Ling cleverly turned on the vibration perception, feeling the movements coming from around him, and at the same time, he identified the vibration from the underground from the infinite vibration sources. Once a vibration source approached everyone's feet, she would use telepathy to remind everyone as soon as possible. Such warning greatly weakened the threat from the underground and made everyone move forward in danger.

Moreover, in close combat, Ghost Hand had the advantage. He did not even activate the transformation ability in the blood of the Bereavement line. He only relied on his super physical strength to kill a bloody path in the insect swarm. The level of Dark Night Sword is not something that the carapace of such low-level insects can resist. Under the sword light and sword shadow, there must be flesh and blood flying everywhere, and he was able to kill himself. If Lu Ren had not reminded him in time, he might not even want to go up the eastern highlands and directly enter the entrance of the insect nest.

The eastern highland is a raised hill, with hard rocks all over the mountain. Few bugs can dig these rocks, so as long as you rush up to the spiral path of the highland, you can basically be protected from threats from the underground.
