Chapter 562: Attack
Chen Bitong stared at Chen Chuan for a moment and nodded. He didn't say much, but his expression became serious and he gestured around him, "Captain Chen, did you see these?"

Chen Chuan looked down. He had felt it was very strange when he saw them from afar just now. Now he walked closer and took another look, and found that these things were not human beings, but some kind of modified creatures.

It looked to be about the size of an ape, with no hair on its body and covered in a thick layer of calloused skin that felt very resilient. It had small eyes, a protruding mouth, and a grinning snout with sharp teeth for biting.

Chen Bitong said: "This thing is called 'White Plague'. It is a biological weapon often used by the old imperial family. The old imperial family's army will carry these things wherever they go. When we are on the front line, we often deal with them. This thing is not a big threat to us, but there are some places that need special attention..."

After listening to his explanation, Chen Chuan realized that this type of modified creatures were developed by the old imperial family in order to cope with new war situations. They usually accompanied the army on the march. The old imperial army would often use these things to test firing points, to fill trenches, or to carry explosives to blow up armored vehicles.

The only thing that's disgusting is that this thing carries a kind of pathogen. Once it enters the rear, it is enough to cause a large-scale infectious disease, so not a single one can be let go.

Chen Bitong looked outside and said, "Captain Chen, they are coming up again."

Chen Chuan walked a few steps outside and looked through the crack. He saw these modified creatures rushing out from the fog and coming towards the top of the mountain from all directions. These things had agile and powerful limbs and were very flexible on the mountain path. The whole process was completely silent.

He took a quick glance and found that more than ten white plague creatures had bulging stomachs. There was an empty sac in their stomachs, which was usually used to stuff explosives.

These high explosives can be used to blow up armored vehicles. It is not fun to blow them up at close range, so they must be handled in advance and not allowed to get close. He immediately reached into his pocket and grabbed a few stones.

But before he could make a move, Chen Bitong suddenly threw the spear in his hand, which instantly crossed hundreds of meters and nailed one of the white plague to the ground. Then he threw several spears in succession, and all the white plague carrying explosives were blocked halfway without exception.

Chen Chuan immediately loosened his fingers, then walked to the edge of the crack with his knife in hand. At this time, several of them had already rushed in front of him, leaping in the air and rushing towards the inside. Seeing this, he turned around.

An arc of light flashed, and several white plague creatures were cut in half in the air. A large amount of blood containing a certain foul smell spilled down, leaving traces of corrosion on the ground.

However, these modified creatures never showed any fear and continued to rush forward in an endless stream.

The advantage of these things is that they are agile and quick, and there are many of them. If you are careless on the battlefield, you may be able to create a gap. However, for him, it is far from enough. With a flash of the sword, it can cover a large area. In just a few breaths, all these things that rushed up were killed.

But this thing itself is a consumable, and the opponent doesn't seem to be willing to use it sparingly, so after one wave, another wave comes up, and among them there are still a few that are hiding high explosives.

Don't worry about these, Chen Bitong will clear them out in advance by throwing.

Although using spiritual power to clear them is the most convenient and will not give these things any chance to rush up, using it on this thing is not worth the cost, because spiritual power recovers slowly after being consumed, and they need to save it to deal with subsequent attacks.

As for the loss of physical strength, it is secondary. With their resilience, they can easily endure several days and nights of high-intensity combat. The reproduction of the mother shrimp will not last that long. It won't take long before support will come from the rear and interception positions will be set up in front of the rift.

All they have to do is to block the opponent's attack during this period of time.

Ten minutes later, after killing more than ten waves of attacks in a row, these things finally stopped coming up.

At this moment, the mountain paths and cracks were filled with a pungent smell of blood and unpleasant taste. The swarms of insects and small creatures that were originally flying in this area were now invisible.

Chen Bitong's expression remained serious and alert. He reminded, "Captain Chen, they must be trying to figure out our strengths and weaknesses. There will definitely be good fighters following us later. Be prepared."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "That couldn't be better."

He is not afraid of fighting with others. In his opinion, all the enemies he faces now are nourishment for his spiritual progress.

In fact, the battle with Chen Bi just now has greatly pushed his spirit up to a higher level. The previous improvement was far from comparable to this time, so he is now looking forward to the strong players from the opposite side, hoping that these people can help him reach a higher level.

At this moment, in the military camp at the foot of the mountain, a general wearing exquisite armor and a helmet necklace on his head was riding on a horse. He and the deputy general beside him were looking up and communicating with each other from time to time.

Around them were more than a dozen dedicated warriors and hundreds of elite soldiers. In addition to these people, there were seven or eight military counselors, while the trusted flag-bearing officer rode proudly on the side, holding a large ceremonial flag that was fluttering in the wind.

They are now discussing how to retake the rift.

If the high ground ahead was not the most suitable place to open the rift, they would not have chosen this place, because that would only bring trouble to themselves. And now they have indeed encountered a situation.

However, since they knew that the passage behind it led to the central city, they would not give up.

Although they couldn't see the specific situation clearly due to the fog, from the previous attacks and Bai Yi's multiple attempts just now, they were able to confirm that there were only two people's military forces ahead who were worthy of attention.

The central city of Jibei Road is now in trouble, and news from the city is constantly reaching them, so they think that it is the limit for the central city to be able to dispatch two people who are close to the level of fighters to guard here, and there will be no more support in the short term.

In other words, as long as these two people are eliminated, the door to the central city can basically be opened.

In the previous attack, neither the vanguard nor the dedicated warriors were successful, which showed the strength of the enemy, so this time, the deputy general decided to lead the team himself to take over here.

After the discussion, the deputy general rode out on his horse and waved his hand. Three of his followers passed by him and rushed up the mountain first.

A few minutes later, Chen Chuan, who was standing at the front of the fissure, noticed something. He looked out and through the fog, he could vaguely see two people appearing on the mountain path.

The two men were not wearing armor, but ancient costumes from the old times, a black skirt underneath, and a short jacket with tight sleeves and a cross collar on top. One of them had a red silk ribbon tied around his neck, and the other had a jade-inlaid headband, and they both looked very neat.

On the left was a woman holding two long swords with tassels and a delicate face. On the right was a man in his thirties holding a silver-plated spear.

But I feel that there should be a third person here, just hiding in the dark and cannot be seen for the time being.

Chen Bitong walked up to take a look and said, "This is the attire of the general's personal guards. These people are usually the descendants of criminals. They have undergone strict and cruel training since childhood. Only by making meritorious deeds can their crimes be pardoned. If they make great merits, sometimes the entire clan will be pardoned. Therefore, their fighting spirit is very tenacious. The appearance of these people means that our opponent is at least an auxiliary general."

Although this is only the lowest rank among generals, those who can hold this position are fighters who can use their spirit to mobilize external forces. But be careful, if they take action, they will not be as cautious as I am. "

Chen Chuan suddenly thought of a question, and said: "Teacher Chen, I remember that most of the territory of the old imperial family is in the fusion land. If the 'pure essence' is blocked by the world ring, then where do their fighters come from?"

Chen Bitong said: "They are involved with the existence of the opposite side and believe in something that can not only obtain "purity", but also bypass this limitation through certain rituals and methods.

As far as I know, many companies are secretly supporting the old imperial family so as to get what they need. Some countries are even communicating with them privately so that they can train their own fighters, and they give some technology and resources in return.

The fact that the old imperial family has not been wiped out until now and that the overthrown old empires in countries around the world can still survive is inseparable from the support of these people, because some people need them to survive. "

Chen Chuan understood immediately. At this moment, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the fog below the mountain. From the sound, it seemed that the horses were walking on the mountain path as if they were walking on flat ground, as if the man and the horse were one. The speed was gradually increasing, with a faint sense of oppression. Although it came from the bottom of the mountain, it gave people a feeling that it was difficult to stop.

Chen Bitong said solemnly, "I am coming."

Before the man on the horse appeared, the two followers who had been standing there before had fierce looks on their faces and rushed into the crack one after another.

The one rushing in the front was the pretty woman. She drew her two swords with a clang. After entering the crevice, she saw Chen Bi Tong and Chen Chuan. She swung her swords and immediately cut down Chen Chuan, who was standing in front of her.

Chen Chuan looked at the two knives calmly, stretched out his hands to grasp the handles, but stood still. When the blades were about to fall on his body, he suddenly raised his eyes, and then a bright light flashed across, and the woman was separated from the knife.

Another gunman from behind also rushed out at this moment. He seemed to turn a blind eye to the death of his comrade, and while he was swinging his knife, he thrust his spear at him.

However, Chen Chuan took a step forward sideways, and at the same time, the long sword that was originally swung out was brought back. But at the moment when the blade reached his neck, a thin sword suddenly appeared from the darkness beside him and stabbed straight into his eyes.
