Chapter 15 Ambush

"The simple defensive equipment and weapons show that their technology is not advanced enough. Judging from the ill - fitting weapons, they were probably purchased or seized. The ten - thousand - strong force is just the vanguard, here to test the waters. Their specific combat power remains to be determined and needs to be tested." After reaching this conclusion, Peter did not hesitate and immediately began to mobilize the insect swarm. Ten - thousand units of the insect swarm were mobilized in an instant, including 5,000 Piercing Tarantulas, 3,000 Machete Cockroaches, and 2,000 Stinger Dragonflies as combat units, moving towards the group of Jackal - Men who had already stepped into the two - meter - high grass. At the same time, all the insect - swarm units in the entire Divine Domain were gathering in this direction, quietly waiting at a distance of one kilometer from these invaders. As a demigod, Rukor could not float in the sky like a spirit and overlook the entire Divine Domain in someone else's Divine Domain. To observe this Divine Domain, he could only see through the eyes of his believers. At this moment, through divine possession, he was possessing the leader of these ten - thousand Jackal - Men, personally observing this Divine Domain. At the same time, he constructed a geographical model of this Divine Domain through the situations seen by other believers around. "A strange terrain where forest and grassland are combined. Where are the other side's believers? Why haven't they appeared yet? Could it be that the other demigod is just not here?" As several thoughts emerged in Rukor's mind, he immediately issued an oracle to the leader of this group of Jackal - Men. "Advance, search, plunder." Sensing the majestic voice in his heart, the leader did not hesitate and immediately gave the order to these ten - thousand Jackal - Man warriors. The Jackal - Men began to speed up their exploration. They moved forward in groups of ten people, heading deeper into the grass. One of the Jackal - Man teams was carefully exploring forward. The two - meter - high grass greatly hindered their vision, and the atmosphere was very solemn. "Captain Holly, ever since we started going deeper into the grass, I've always felt something is wrong. I always feel like there's something watching us." Old Holly took a couple of glances at Sully, who had spoken, and understood what he meant. "Yes, Old Holly, I have the same feeling." "Me too." As several Jackal - Men spoke up, with their beastly instincts, they all said the same thing. Although they hadn't discovered the enemy, the eerie feeling of being watched made them extremely uncomfortable, as if there were thorns on their bodies. "Be on alert!" Holly, who was leading the team, also had this feeling. As he spoke, he drew out a dagger wrapped in a piece of leather from the back of his waist. This was his loot from the last war. The goblin short - sword could only be used as a dagger in his hand. "Slash" With a wave of his arm, he forcefully slashed, and the grass in a circle around him fell to the ground, exposing a Piercing Tarantula behind the grass in front of them. The motionless Piercing Tarantula launched an attack the moment it was exposed. With a sharp chirping sound, it suddenly bounced up and shot towards Old Holly's face at an extremely fast speed. Old Holly, who had extremely rich combat experience, was startled but not flustered. He raised his hand and swung the dagger towards the path where the Piercing Tarantula was flying. The sharp dagger and his great strength easily split the Piercing Tarantula in two. The sharp chirping of this Piercing Tarantula before it died was like a signal. The grass, which had been extremely quiet just now, began to riot like a boiling oil pan. All the teams that had entered the grass for exploration were attacked. Old Holly suddenly turned around and saw a Machete Cockroach flying towards the back of Sully's head. While shouting "Fight", he slapped the bug flying towards the back of Sully's head away. The other team members were not as lucky as Sully. Two Jackal - Man team members had their heads pierced from behind by attacking Piercing Tarantulas and died on the spot. Two team members who pounced on the Piercing Tarantulas, one was splashed in the face with the corrosive acid sprayed by the Piercing Tarantula and fell to the ground, howling in pain. The other, after narrowly dodging the venom spray, slapped the Piercing Tarantula that couldn't dodge into the ground, flattening half of its body. Another team member near the rear of the team was also attacked by a Machete Cockroach. Seeing the Machete Cockroach that suddenly appeared from the grass and moved nimbly towards him. He pounced on the Machete Cockroach and successfully held down two of its legs. Ignoring the back sickle that the bug swung towards his wrist, he bit the Machete Cockroach in two with one bite. Two Jackal - Men who were attacked by Stinger Dragonflies were frantically waving their arms, trying to swat the Stinger Dragonflies down, but they were helpless against the flexible figures of the Stinger Dragonflies in the air. One of the Jackal - Men suddenly stopped waving his arms and fell to the ground, twitching, which startled his companion. Just now, one of his arms had been stabbed by a Stinger Dragonfly. This Jackal - Man thought it was just a small wound and didn't pay much attention to it. Now the venom had taken effect, and he had been poisoned without realizing it. Taking this opportunity, two Stinger Dragonflies launched an attack on the remaining Jackal - Man simultaneously, one from the front and one from the back. This Jackal - Man, who was waving his sharp claws, didn't notice the danger behind him. Finally, seizing the opportunity, he closed his claws on the Stinger Dragonfly in front of him, smashing this flexible bug into a pulp. At the same time, he heard the sound of something breaking through the air by his ear and immediately turned around. A dagger flew past his cheek, with another Stinger Dragonfly hanging on it, flying into the grass. That was Old Holly's precious weapon. Seeing this, he didn't have time to feel sorry for his weapon and shouted loudly, "Don't just stand there stupidly. Everyone, help." Except for the two Jackal - Men who were still howling and twitching on the ground, all the remaining team members finally came to their senses and quickly launched an attack on the last three Piercing Tarantulas. Facing the siege of six Jackal - Men, the three Piercing Tarantulas did not retreat at all and attacked one of the Jackal - Man team members in the front at the same time. This sudden battle also ended very quickly. The last three Piercing Tarantulas were easily killed with the cooperation of the six Jackal - Men. The price was that Sully, who was besieged by the three Piercing Tarantulas, had two holes opened in his palm and abdomen, and one of his calves was also stained with corrosive acid. The burning pain made him have to lean on his companion beside him to stand. The same situation played out in all the Jackal - Man teams that had entered the grass, but the results were different. Some Jackal - Man teams were completely wiped out, while some only suffered one or two casualties. "Take the wounded and we'll retreat." Seeing that half of the team had been casualties, Old Holly made a decisive decision to retreat. "Yes, Captain." The Jackal - Men in the team immediately replied. After the battle just now, everyone felt the gap and admired this captain who usually liked to brag. "Captain Holly, are we going back just like this?" Sully covered the bleeding hole in his abdomen with one hand and leaned on his companion beside him with the other. There was a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of unwillingness. "We haven't caught a five - meter - big rabbit yet."
