Chapter 813 Confusion and Guilt
Chapter 813 Confusion and Guilt
When the Zerg was under the control of the three witches, they still knew how to preserve their strength and try to avoid unnecessary sacrifices.
When Wen Rui hacked into the command system and gave orders, he had no more concerns. Following Jarvis's careful calculations, he chose the tactic that would inflict the greatest casualties without hesitation.
The magic mosquitoes are not afraid of sacrifice. As long as they are given clear pheromone instructions, they will execute them immediately and perfectly.
The Zerg's suicide attacks may seem reckless and crazy, but in fact they are carefully calculated. The dosage of magic blood to be applied to the shield is well calculated, and not even a drop is wasted each time. The blood will not evaporate until the evil spirit, resentment, karma and shield mana are offset and the blood will dry up.
With the least number of sacrifices, squeeze out the most magical power of Bodhisattva.
Under Wen Rui's command, the oversaturated suicide attacks of the magic insects caused countless magic insects to crash into the shield of Vajra, and the splashing mosquito blood flowed along the shield into a river. This was actually a great waste of magic blood. The magic blood's effect of weakening mana had not yet fully taken effect, and it merged into the blood river in vain, flowed onto the wasteland, and was then evaporated by the scorching sun and dried into blood scabs.
The demon blood of the upper layer was flowing, and the demon blood of the lower layer was depleting the shield. The speed at which the mana was consumed by the three Bodhisattvas did not increase much, but the number of demon insect deaths increased by who knows how many times.
The number of demon insects that died from the long-range scraping attacks of the Heavenly Court army was far less than those that died from crashing into the shields of Vajra.
Therefore, although it seemed that the attack of the demon insect army became more fierce, the three Bodhisattvas were still able to hold on.
However, the speed at which the demon blood eroded the shield did not change much, but the number of demon insects that collided with the shield was increasing.
The magic insect dived at full speed and when it hit the shield, its instantaneous speed exceeded Mach 30. The kinetic energy it carried was also not small, and it would also consume a certain amount of shield mana.
As the saying goes, if you defend for too long, you will lose. Even though the three Bodhisattvas had powerful magic, they could not withstand such crazy insect swarm tactics. Soon cracks appeared on the shield, and the cracks gradually spread, and soon gaps appeared.
The initial gap was not big, and the demon mosquitoes squeezed in like crazy. The demon mosquitoes behind also pushed hard until they crushed the body of the demon mosquito in front and squeezed the blood organs into the shield.
The smelly demon blood, organs and limbs of the demon mosquito poured into the interior of the formation, rotting and stinking visibly to the naked eye. Countless tiny maggots bred from the demon blood. The maggots grew very fast and soon pupated and emerged, forming a swarm of flies inside the shield, flying around.
This scene was observed by Wen Rui, and he immediately concluded that it must be a new type of biological weapon developed by Taoist Mosquito to target the Western religious formation shield.
Those hatched mosquitoes and flies are probably carrying countless kinds of vicious viruses and bacteria.
By implanting parasite eggs in the body of the demon mosquito in advance, it only takes a small crack to squeeze the demon blood into the shield, which can release the swarm of flies and cause a biochemical infection.
As Wen Rui expected, when the swarm of flies flew into the group of Western Christian believers, some of them immediately broke out in rashes or blisters all over their bodies, or began coughing and vomiting for no apparent reason.
Some people even showed symptoms of late-stage rabies within a dozen seconds, fell into a state of madness, and pounced on and bit the people around them.
More and more flesh and blood of the demon mosquitoes were squeezed into the shield, swarms of black flies spread rapidly, and the infection in the crowd gradually expanded.
At first, Western Christian believers knelt down and chanted scriptures in prayer, suppressing their fear due to their strong faith. However, as they saw large groups of people falling ill for unknown reasons, their fear overcame their piety and small-scale chaos began to break out among the crowd.
Bodhisattva Lingji sighed secretly, and had no choice but to recite the "Medicine King Liuli Mantra" to eliminate the dirt and diseases that had invaded the inside of the shield and heal the infected believers.
However, the strategy of robbing Peter to pay Paul did not work well. The Vajra Array, which was originally blessed by three Bodhisattvas, lost the power of one Bodhisattva and its strength was greatly reduced. The cracks in the shield became larger and larger, and finally expanded to the point where the demon mosquito could get in.
There were more and more similar holes, and the Vajra Formation became like a sieve with leaks everywhere, and it could no longer keep the swarm of insects out.
Last time at the Bunolinda Temple, the large-sized mosquitoes did not rush to charge and fight after entering the magic circle, but waited for the follow-up troops to arrive and gathered a certain number before launching a hunting operation. But this time, the mosquitoes obviously lost their minds, and even if there were only a few or dozens of them, they rushed towards the crowd like crazy.
It was obvious that the charge of these small groups of demon insects would not achieve any results. Before they could rush into the crowd, they were killed by the demon-subduing pestles shot by the monks who were ambushing beside the believers.
Seeing the shield shattered into pieces, Mahakala sighed and stopped chanting the Vajra Mantra. Just like in the Bunolinda Temple, he bestowed the power of Mahakala on the mortal bodies of millions of believers.
I thought that the Vajra Shield maintained by the three Bodhisattvas could last longer and could control the shield gap more accurately, but I never expected that the Zerg's attack this time would be so crazy and reckless. Although more magic insects were consumed, the support time was greatly shortened.
As the shield broke, it was like a siege in which the enemy had captured the city walls. The form of the battle immediately changed fundamentally and entered the second stage.
Both sides began to use the tactic of adding fuel to the fire, exchanging sacrifice for sacrifice.
But this time, Mahakala Bodhisattva, who had experienced the last battle, felt an obvious difference. Although there were more demon insects this time, they were much easier to kill than the last time.
The last time the Centipede Witch rushed into the shield and released paralyzing poison gas, the Demon Mosquitoes were more organized, the tactics were well executed, and the strategic goals were clear, just like a carefully planned hunting operation.
But this time, the demon insects were just rushing around randomly, just like a group of headless flies, attacking without any plan.
The Great Powerful Bodhisattva guessed that it was probably because Wen Xiaotianzun had re-created the three-headed witch who commanded the demon insects, leaving the insects leaderless and acting only on their biological instincts, which led to such chaos.
The mortal believers who were blessed with the power of Mahakala Vajra were as if assisted by gods. They surrounded and killed the lone demon insects as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. The more they fought, the more handy they became, and their casualty ratio was surprisingly low.
Only a few young people who were overly excited about obtaining superhuman powers and lacked practical experience rushed too far and died from the dying counterattack of the magic insects because of their recklessness.
Although the defensive formation was broken, the battle situation was unexpectedly good. If this situation could be maintained, it would be possible to defend the Jetavana Monastery.
Because the battle line was stable, the three Bodhisattvas did not participate in the battle and continued to preside over the overall situation on the altar. However, their eyes were all cast towards the auspicious cloud in the sky where the heavenly army was located and focused on Wen Rui.
Wen Rui also seemed to have sensed something. He lowered his head and looked down, gazing at the three Bodhisattvas from a distance.
"Without the help of the Heavenly Court, the situation would have been ten times worse. Could it be that we are too angry and foolish, and we are judging the Heavenly Venerable by our own petty minds?"
"Judging from his deeds rather than his heart, he did help a lot in this battle. What was his purpose?"
"It's unknown. I really can't see through him."
The three Bodhisattvas were muttering to themselves, looking confused.
……
"Why are you all looking at me? Have you figured out that I'm the one behind this?"
Wen Rui couldn't help feeling a little nervous when being stared at like that.
