My brother is so cunning

Chapter 718 Use magic to defeat magic

While Huang Tianlu was worrying, a hexagonal space gate opened above the city gate and a Demon Alliance transport ship leaped in.

Huang Tianlu just looked up and then looked away. After so many years, he had already become accustomed to the shuttle of transport ships.

The fact that Wen Rui secretly opened up a smuggling channel between the mortal world and the underworld was no longer a secret to the Taishan defenders.

Unlike in the past, this transport ship did not fly to the defense position in front of the pass to unload the equipment as usual, but instead hovered above the Ghost Gate Tower and opened the hatch.

Wen Rui and Kong Xuan took over and floated down the transport ship, flew straight to Huang Tianlu, and stood on the top of the city wall.

When Huang Tianlu saw Wen Rui, he immediately bowed and asked anxiously, "Brother Wen, is there any news from above? Has His Majesty the Jade Emperor sent reinforcements? Can you be the commander in charge of defending the Blood Sea Demon Clan this time?"

Wen Rui spread his hands and said, "Don't count on reinforcements. At the most recent military meeting before the Emperor, the Jade Emperor has once again appointed Li Jing as the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Army. The control of the 90,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Generals who withdrew with me was handed over to Li Jing, who was transferred to guard the four gates of the Heavenly Palace, just to protect the gates of the Heavenly Palace."

Huang Tianlu was stunned and said: "What about the Ghost Gate..."

"It's up to you. If it's hard, don't do it."

Wen Rui spread his hands again and looked at him with some sympathy: "The higher-ups think that Ghost Gate cannot be defended no matter what. Sending troops here is just adding fuel to the fire. It is meaningless."

Huang Tianlu's body swayed, obviously he had suffered a great blow, and he punched the battlement with his fist in hatred.

"My Huang family has become a discarded child. How could this be possible? Aren't they afraid that the demon mosquitoes will enter the mortal world and eat up hundreds of millions of innocent people?"

The young general said angrily, gritting his teeth.

"In fact, the general direction of this decision is correct. I also think that sooner or later, we will lose, so it is better to cut losses and give up as soon as possible."

Wen Rui said coldly: "General Huang, you will die in vain if you stay here. It is better to gather the Taishan garrison and withdraw from the earthly realm, and fight the demon mosquitoes in the mortal world."

"No!" Huang Tianlu said resolutely: "We are the last barrier for all living beings in the mortal world. If we all abandon the gates of hell, the devil mosquitoes will rush straight into the mortal world to feast on us. My Huang family has been loyal for generations, and we cannot watch innocent mortals suffer!"

Wen Rui nodded slightly, and stopped trying to persuade him. He asked, "Can you send out scouts to investigate the enemy's movements? Where has the Mowen's canal been dug?"

"Two thousand miles to the northwest, a new type of burrowing insect has appeared in the demon mosquito swarm. Its digging speed is incredibly fast. It has only been delayed until now because Brother Wen has been harassing us with the Heavenly Fire Pillar. Otherwise, the enemy would have already attracted blood and gathered it into a blood lake to launch an attack on Ghost Gate."

Huang Tianlu calmed himself down, pointed to the southwest, and reported respectfully like a subordinate.

Unlike Huang Tianhua, Huang Tianlu never had the desire to compete with Wen Rui like his brother did. As a bystander, he looked up at Wen Rui's "great achievements" and had long been convinced. He knew very well how powerful Wen Rui was.

This time, 90,000 out of the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals were able to escape, and his father and brother were able to save half their lives, all thanks to Wen Rui's efforts. Huang Tianlu could see it clearly from the gate tower of Ghost Gate.

In addition, the Heavenly Court seemed to have given up on the Ghost Gate and had not sent any reinforcements. Only Wen Rui often returned to the defensive position in front of the Ghost Gate, commanding millions of metal puppets to strengthen the defense line.

In Huang Tianlu's mind, Wen Rui was the truly trustworthy front-line commander, and he subconsciously regarded him as his superior even though he no longer had any military power.

The "Heavenly Fire Pillar" that Huang Tianlu mentioned is actually a warp nuclear missile. In order to delay the enemy and buy time, the artillery positions in front of Ghost Gate have been carrying out non-stop long-range bombing since the Mosquitoes began to dig the canal. "Brother Wen, how many of your Heavenly Fire Pillars are left? I have checked the material of the magic weapon and it seems that it is not precious or rare. If there are enough of them, and the bombing density is increased, so that their canal will never be dug, maybe Ghost Gate can be defended."

Wen Rui was about to take Kong Xuan to fly to the northwest when Huang Tianlu grabbed his sleeve as if he was grabbing the last straw, hoping to find the tunnel.

"Alas..." Wen Rui sighed, "Brother Huang, you underestimate the evolutionary ability of biochemical civilization. Radar bugs and anti-aircraft bugs have evolved among the insect swarm. Radar bugs can sense spatial fluctuations and predict the location of jumps, and anti-aircraft bugs can spray plasma jets to burn missiles. The hit rate of long-range missile bombing has now dropped to less than 3%, otherwise the Blood Water Canal would not have been dug two thousand miles away."

Originally, Wen Rui's jump nuclear missile was a powerful weapon to destroy the supply lines of the Blood Sea Demon Clan. The explosion of a hydrogen bomb could destroy a large section of the river that had already been excavated.

However, the speed of the Zerg's iterative evolution exceeded Wen Rui's expectations. Mosquito Taoist quickly developed a Zerg species that could resist missile bombing and established air defense positions along the supply line.

Natural evolution should be very time-consuming, and it will take countless generations for valuable traits to emerge after the survival of the fittest.

Once the Pandora's box of gene modulation technology is opened and the technology of artificially controlled evolution is mastered, a demon king like Mosquito Taoist, who has the attributes of a swarm lord, will be even more powerful.

The bombing that slowed down the Blood Sea Demons' advance actually added two powerful new types of soldiers to the Demon Mosquito Legion.

Radar bugs and anti-aircraft bugs can detect and attack missiles, and naturally can also attack any flying targets. If gods and Buddhas were to stop the magic mosquitoes in the mortal world, they would definitely experience the power of these two new types of soldiers.

Although it was not his original intention, but in disguise, it was equivalent to Wen Rui quietly strengthening another wave of Blood Sea Demons.

Even if someone came out and said that Wen Rui was an undercover agent of the demon clan and secretly colluding with Taoist Mosquito, Wen Rui would be too embarrassed to deny it.

After listening to Wen Rui's explanation, Huang Tianlu's face turned pale, the last glimmer of hope was shattered, he let go of the hand that was holding Wen Rui's sleeve, and leaned dejectedly on the beam of the tower.

Wen Rui shook his head, winked at Kong Xuan, and flew with him towards the place where the demon mosquitoes were stationed.

The distance of two thousand miles seemed very close to them, and they soon arrived above the artificial lake that was being excavated.

In this area, countless demonic mosquitoes were flying densely in the air, and the deafening "buzzing" sound of their wings could be heard from a long distance away.

The ground was also crawling with all kinds of weird-looking monster insects. This scene could scare anyone with trypophobia or insect phobia to death on the spot.

Wen Rui has used the great power of Hunyuan invisibility to conceal his whereabouts, hiding in a high place and observing the insect swarm from a distance.

"I asked you to come here to help me collect samples of the insect swarm."

Wen Rui sent a message through his spiritual consciousness, communicating with Kong Xuan in his sea of ​​consciousness: "I need to get some living organisms to slice and study, so as to develop targeted insecticide technology. As the saying goes, only magic can defeat magic, and the biochemical crisis can only be solved with biochemical technology."

"I have tried to capture the demon mosquitoes, but the guys who created these monsters have already taken precautions. The demon mosquitoes' genes contain self-destruct fragments. Once they realize that their movements are restricted and they cannot fight, they will activate the self-destruct code, and all of their cells will die almost simultaneously, and their genes will dissolve and become undetectable."

"Your five-color divine light ability can help me capture living samples."
