Chapter 51: Demon Lake Butterfly Shadow (03)

The so-called "demon butterfly" is actually an extremely rare insect. The ancients called it "Cicada blood". It is a species between a mosquito and a butterfly. Except for its wings, its body structure is more like a mosquito, but It is much bigger than a mosquito. It is recorded in "Strange Beasts of the Tang Dynasty": This thing is ominous, butterfly-shaped, with illusory colors, a mosquito body, and a mouth like a steel needle. It was born in a wild land, hiding in mountains and forests, above swamps , which is ferocious, bloodthirsty, lives in groups, lives for more than a month, likes to eat blood, and often harms humans and animals.

Of course, Si Xuanyi didn't know what it was at the time, and he accidentally discovered what it was when he was flipping through ancient books, but that was a long time later.

The "demon butterflies" flying all over the sky are like layers of blue-purple waves, circling and dancing around them non-stop. Many of them who are not afraid of smoke and bonfires directly rush over and either turn into ashes in the flames or lose their way in the thick smoke.

As the "monster butterflies" were burned to death, there was a weird stench in the air, a disgusting smell, as if it was the unpleasant smell of a rotting corpse being roasted.

In fact, practical fire was the method they used to deal with those "black mist". These "monster butterflies" should be more afraid of thick smoke, but they found that the effect was very inconspicuous. Although only a small part of these "monster butterflies" fluttered Towards the thick smoke and flames, but most of them are still lingering outside the smoke and have not dissipated. That is to say, once the bonfire burns out, they still have to face the attacks of these things. They have a lot of firewood, but There is always a moment when the burn is over, so they must find a way to get out of this predicament as soon as possible, otherwise there is only a dead end.

"What should I do?" Rhodes asked anxiously while patting the "Monster Butterfly" who had passed through the smoke and fell on him.

Others also fell a lot, and the heart-rending pain was like being stabbed with a steel needle continuously, but compared with those who kept flying in the sky, this was not enough to pose a fatal threat to them. But if this goes on, it may be a matter of time before they are sucked dry by the "monster butterfly".

"I don't know." Liang Rong told him directly that if there was a way, they wouldn't be trapped in this place. Seeing the jungle is only tens of meters away, they couldn't run through it. Although they don't know if entering the jungle can get rid of these weirdness things, but at least it's safer than being in an open field.

"Run! You will die if you wait, we can use grenades to blow up a path." Ma Zhong is much bolder than before. Pu's character so no one pays attention to him.

"Think of a way..." Li Siming kicked Agui who was shivering in place.

"No...no way..." Agui said without raising his head.

"Fuck..." Li Siming kicked him again, "Take the torches, and everyone gathers and walks into the woods."

"No... such a big fire can't stop them, how effective is a torch?" Si Xuanyi shook his head.

"Then what should we do? Waiting for death?" Li Siming pulled a Japanese-made Type [-] grenade out of the fuse, knocked it on the helmet and threw it out forcefully. Originally, he planned to deal with these things with the method of dealing with "black mist". But this kind of grenade is completely different from what they used before in terms of delay time, weight, and throwing method, so that after he threw it, it drew an arc in the air and fell directly on the ground to explode. They couldn't pose enough threat to those "demon butterflies" at all. Although some of them were killed, the small number was almost negligible.

"Broken stuff." Li Siming cursed violently. At this time, more than a dozen "monster butterflies" had fallen on him and were desperately sucking his blood. He jumped in pain.

"This shit can be used to commit suicide." Si Xuanyi dragged him back, "It would be great if there was a flamethrower."

"Nonsense." Li Siming looked at the demon butterflies flying all over the sky, "Can you say something useful?"

"Fire?" Ma Zhong was stunned for a moment, and immediately found a grenade on his body, "This...maybe it will be useful."

What he took out was a Type 1 white phosphorous arson grenade, which they had confiscated from the devil's bones when they passed through the open field. This was the Japanese Army's first standard grenade. The Taisho 10-year-style grenade is used. It uses an inertial fuze. It can be thrown or launched by a grenadier. It also uses an impacted inertial fuze, that is, it must be knocked out after the safety is pulled out to explode.

"Idiot, this thing is enough for suicide." Li Siming scolded, "Can you expect this thing to burn in the air? Go hold it..."

"There are dozens of meters left, we can fight and charge with a torch, otherwise..." Rhodes jumped up and down after being bitten by this "demon butterfly", "Otherwise...we will all...be sucked dry."

Liang Rong protected her head and dutifully translated. In order to prevent being attacked by those "demon butterflies", she even put on a raincoat. Almost everyone else did similar things, putting thick things on their bodies, but What frightened them was that these "demon butterflies" could pierce through their protection and continue to suck blood on them...

"How about...use this thing to open a way..." Si Xuanyi gritted his teeth, he was dead anyway, so he might as well fight.

"Hurry up what you want to do... I can't help it." Rhodes almost jumped up, his back was covered with dense monster butterflies, it looked like a layer of wriggling strange scales, unspeakably disgusting , no matter how much he slaps it, it doesn't work. If you slap one or two off, more will follow...

"Get ready...run." Seeing that Si Xuanyi agreed to use the white phosphorous grenade to open the way, Ma Zhong hurriedly pulled the grenade away and threw it...

"×You/Mom, you're an idiot..." Si Xuanyi cursed, and the others reacted and looked at him with murderous eyes.

Ma Zhong was stunned for a long time and finally figured out what mistake he had made. It turned out that he was in a hurry to escape and omitted the most important part of throwing a Japanese grenade... After the safety was removed, the impact was thrown before throwing, otherwise the grenade would not explode... …
