Dark Blood Age

Just when the witch was about to say something, the man on the watchtower shouted, “Insects! Insects! We are being surrounded!”

All the dark warriors immediately rushed to the top of the wall to see how bad the situation was. It was too dark. They couldn’t see it very clearly, until one fire elemental warrior “shot” a fire torch outside the wall.

The fire torch was burned by the fire energy, it was unusually bright while flying outside the wall.

Insects… Insects… More insects… The further the fire torch went, the more insects they discovered!

Until the torch dropped on the ground. The swarm suddenly stopped for a second, and then all of sudden, all the insects roared frantically at the same time!

‘It is a trap!’

This was the first thought that came to Chu Yunsheng’s mind. He had always suspected that the insects had some kind of intelligence. This kind of intelligence was not the same as what we used to describe humans. It was more like a predator’s “instinct” or other things that he didn’t know how to describe.

Since the first time he encountered the insects, they had already shown their incredible intelligence. They were able to perform the split attack, one from outside the building and the other one from the corridor inside the building.

Later on, he experienced more and more bizarre monsters. Tentacle monsters, which were able to control human bodies; flaming birds, which were able to see through his “play dead” trick; green fluorescent monsters, which were even able to perform a formation attack… every single one of those incidents clearly showed that they had intelligence.

Chu Yunsheng suspected that the insects had already discovered the grain depot, and while two large groups were busy discussing the shares, they had already sent out a signal to call for a large swarm to surround the grain depot.

Luckily, the insects did not seem to be as smart as humans. Otherwise, if they could wait until all the groups started to transport the food back to Jin Ling city, and then attacked them while they were on the road, it would be much more effective than surrounding the grian depot.

Of course, they had to thank Lu Guolong as well. He had been staying in this depot for quite some time. With his strange earth elemental energy’s help, he had built a wall around the depot. There was even a watchtower as well.

The wall was very strong, Chu Yunsheng had tried it before. It was very hard to use an insect’s leg to penetrate the wall. So as long as there weren’t any green-shelled insects or golden-shelled insects, they should be able to defend for a short period of time.

Red-shelled insects were slowly gathered outside the wall. They still had not initiated the attack yet. No one knew why they were still waiting.

Since they were already exposed, many people started to light up torches and stick them into the wall. The place was immediately lit up, and they were finally able to see how crowded the insects outside the wall were.

Two big group’s leaders quickly gathered all the small team leaders again to discuss the defence plan.

Based on the experiences in the past, the first wave of the insects’ attack usually would not be a probing attack, it often would be their strongest push.

Chu Yunsheng was sitting on the wall and roughly estimated the situation: 5 small teams, roughly 60 people, two big groups had roughly 50 people, plus some people originally from the depot. So in total, they had almost 120 people.

The situation right now reminded Chu Yunsheng what happened in the fog city. It seemed like there were more people at that time than now.

But at that time, they were dealing with flaming birds, so no matter how many people they had, all they could do was run.

Chu Yunsheng also got some bullets from Lu Guolong. When he took those bullets from Lu Guolong, he also saw a few familiar figures next to a woman. However, because everyone was walking very fast, and he was concerned about the insects outside, the intense pressure made him believe that it was just a hallucination.

The witch’s team was assigned to guard the south wall. Apart from them, there was another team and a few people originally from Lu Guolong’s group. So in total, they had around 30 dark warriors.

Chu Yunsheng heard from the witch that the west wall’s defence was led by one of the big group’s leaders called Shen Shaoze. The North wall’s defence was led by a woman. The rest of the people were defending the East wall.

The wall was not thick. It had two layers, the outer layer was higher and the inner layer was lower. Chu Yunsheng was sitting on the outer layer and quietly waiting for the insects to attack. He suspected that if the first wave would be very strong, then the people inside the depot would probably prepare for the breakout.

“Hum? It’s you? ”

Chu Yunsheng raised his head. The voice came from a man who he had once met outside the evaluation room. If he remembered it correctly, the man’s name was Xie Yuan and the girl behind him was called Zhou Yena. They were both with Hong Kun, who received a Rank-three evaluation that day. However, he did not see that Rank-three dark warrior Hong Kun here.

“You joined them?” Xie Yuan pointed at the witch. He seemed to feel pity for Chu Yunsheng.

Chu Yunsheng smiled, but he did not answer her. Instead, he asked her, “what about you?”

“Did not expect you to be this relaxed. We joined the first gang of the Southern district, because of Hong Kun. Now we are working for brother Shen.” Xie Yuan pointed at the West wall and said, “I am assigned to pass the information between the walls, everyone needs to work together, in case of monsters breaking in.”

“Insects are coming!” suddenly a man shouted.

All the dark warriors on the wall instantly started to move. The pressure was getting more and more intense, and even the ground started to shake because of the insects’ movement!

Finally, the insects started to rush.

The insects’ screech did not stop at a single second. Clouds of dust were kicked up as the insects rushed towards the wall.

The people who had never joined such a large fight before were so scared that their faces quickly turned pale, and their legs couldn’t stop shaking. There were people even turning around and running back to the basement!

Insects were getting closer and closer. Under the torchlights, they could see the fire patterns on the insects’ backs and the sticky substances in their mouth.

“Ready… Attack!… Attack!… Attack!…”

Instantly many fire blasts, icicles, and bullets were all shot towards the swarm of insects.

Chu Yunsheng did not aim his gun. There were so many insects outside the wall, he did not need to aim. He was assigned to a team that was specialized in the long-range attack. They were the first team engaged with the insects. Once the insects got to the wall, they immediately pulled back and helped the second team, which was specialized in close-range combat during the fight.

Thanks to Lu Guolong’s hard work, the wall was almost 8 meters high. Otherwise, the insects could easily jump in and attack from inside.

Luckily, the depot was not big, and the wall was not thick, otherwise, even though Lu Guolong had an earth elemental ability, he still could not complete the wall.

The insects in the first wave died almost half before they could even get to the wall.

Everyone was happy to see the result, and their confidence was doubled.

But soon, the second wave of push arrived. Those monsters were not scared of dying, they crawled on top of their dead partners and tried to reach the top of the wall. The situation was getting worse.

As Chu Yunsheng expected, the first wave of attack was the strongest. The insects did not stop the attack, even though they suffered from heavy losses. Piles and piles of insects’ bodies almost reached the top of the wall.

There were already some insects crawling on top of the wall!

Chu Yunsheng already pulled back. The close-range combat team has taken over the defence position and started to engage in the melee combat. A few insects that escaped from the close-range combat were killed instantly by the long range-attack team.

The witch’s healing ability became very useful in the fight. When the dark warriors on the other walls screamed in pain until they died, the place where Chu Yunsheng was guarding, only had one person severely injured.

Of course, Chu Yunsheng’s high-speed shooting also played an important role in this defence.

Zhou Yenan, who was staying on the side gasped in surprise. She knew that the fire dark warriors that used guns could perform high-speed attacks, but she had never seen someone that was as fast as Chu Yunsheng, Not only his speed, but he also just needed to use two bullets to kill one red-shelled insect, not a single bullet more!

Suddenly, the ground started to shake again. Chu Yunsheng was already familiar with this kind of shake, “Fuck, golden-shelled insect!” he cursed.

No wonder the red-shelled insects did not move earlier, they were probably waiting for golden-shelled insects.

The golden-shelled insect was giving Shen Shaoze a lot of headaches. Three Rank-three dark warriors had already jumped off the wall and started to fight it outside the wall. He could not afford to have a golden-shell reaching the wall. Once the wall was broken, the consequence would be unthinkable.

Now he finally understood why Zhu Lingdie would dare to ask for four shares, it was not because of the Type I dark energy gun. It was because of the wind and fire masters.

Although one of them was only given an evaluation of Rank-two dark warrior, the person’s actual combat skill lived up to his name!

With just two people fighting together with another Rank-three dark warrior; her force had already restrained the other golden-shelled insect’s movement. The wind and fire masters were mainly focusing on attacking the golden-shelled insect, and the other Rank-three dark warrior was just guarding their backs to prevent other insects from attacking them.

But looking at the situation on his side, he had to send out two Rank-two dark warriors to assist. So in total, he had to deploy five dark warriors to just barely restrain the golden-shelled insect’s movement.

With the help from this powerful group, no wonder Zhu Lingdie was so confident!

But he did not know that, at the moment, Zhu Lingdie’s envy for the 13th master had almost reached the peak!

The side that Chu Yunsheng was guarding did not have any golden-shelled insects, but there was one thing he felt very strange. Those monsters could dig all the way into the depot, but they didn’t do it. Why did they just dig out outside the wall?

Maybe they just wanted to break the wall, so it would be easier for the red-shelled insects to attack. Chu Yunsheng suspected. Only

Slowly, the group on the south wall started to have casualties: Two dead and several heavily injured.

Chu Yunsheng decided to move to other sides and help other groups to kill the golden-shelled insect. If they let that thing get inside the depot, its fire attack would definitely burn the granary down.

The reason why they came here was because of the food. If they could not protect the food, why the hell they were here for.

Chu Yunsheng had all kinds of talismans. He had not even activated his tier-two combat armour yet. His body still had a decent amount of Yuan Qi. So assisting them to kill two golden-shelled insects was not a big problem

However, before he moved, he suddenly heard the groups that were guarding the north wall burst into cheers, “Fire master! Wind master! Fire master! Wind master!!!”

Then he saw Xie Yuan was running from the west wall, “Fuck! The golden-shelled insect on the east side was finally killed! It was too fucking powerful! Can you spare some people to support the West wall? There was still one more golden-shelled insect over there!” he was out of breath.

Chu Yunsheng was not very concerned right now. If it was just one left, they could ask those fire and wind masters to deal with it. It was better for him to stay on this side of the wall. If there was one suddenly appearing from here, he would be able to kill it on time.

In the end, It made Xie Yuan very baffled when Zhou Yena was trying to ask Chu Yunsheng to help. But Chu Yunsheng did not move at all. Because he had already made up his mind.
