Since Yang Xiaoqiang had already said that, Jiang Fan couldn't say anything more. He just secretly made a decision in his heart that he would definitely repay this favor in the future.
"Buzzing--"
The sudden increase in volume pulled Jiang Fan back to reality, and he turned to look in the direction from which the sound was coming from.
The Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito that had hesitated to approach were now gathering together, gradually forming an enlarged version of the Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito.
It looks at least three stories high!
Jiang Fan's pupils contracted slightly. His intuition told him that the combined effect of the Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito was not just about increased size; their energy also seemed to have been significantly enhanced.
" Jiang Fan, let's go!" Yang Xiaoqiang shouted to Jiang Fan, then charged forward with his knife.
Zhou Xiaoyan and the others were also quick, rushing forward after Yang Xiaoqiang.
Jiang Fan didn't go over; he continued as before, cooperating with Yang Xiaoqiang Yang Xiaoqiang his team, providing cover for them.
"Die!" Wang Jiangang, holding the knife in both hands, leaped up and slashed down.
Faced with this powerful slash, the shape formed by the Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito suddenly changed, transforming into a gaping maw resembling a net, enveloping the descending blade and greatly weakening its power.
This scene stunned Wang Jiangang. He had to admit that the giant Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito that had gathered together were far superior to the previous ones in both attack and defense.
Even Jiang Fan showed a slight surprise on his face.
"Let's go together!" After Yang Xiaoqiang said this to the group, they all scrambled apart in perfect unison, moving around the giant Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito.
After exchanging glances, they silently counted to three, two, one, and attacked simultaneously.
Jiang Fan concentrated his mental energy and multitasked, covering Yang Xiaoqiang and his group while continuously drawing his bow and shooting arrows. Each arrow he fired took away a string of Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito in neat formation.
"I'll help too." Lan Shengxue, wielding two swords, was about to join the hunt for the Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito.
Jiang Fan stopped him, saying, "The commotion here is too great. It's likely already attracted the attention of other demonic beasts in the vicinity. To prevent any sudden attacks, you should refrain from moving and take precautions."
Upon hearing this, Lan Shengxue nodded in agreement.
As time passed, the giant Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito that had gathered together continued to shrink in size.
Sudden!
The Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito underwent a change. Originally united and clustered together, they began to absorb each other's blood. In an instant, one corpse after another fell from the sky. The Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito that had been drained of blood were left with only their skins, while the Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito that had sucked the blood of their companions underwent tremendous changes in both strength and size.
This reminded Jiang Fan of a game he used to play, where the big fish eat the little fish.
With a piercing buzz, a Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito that had drunk its fill of its companion's blood suddenly advanced, from One Star to Two Star.
"Oh no!" Yang Xiaoqiang suddenly remembered something. "I've heard from my seniors before that the Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito can advance in rank by devouring its companions. We must stop it immediately to prevent it from continuing to advance."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan's expression also became serious. However, just as he was about to make a move, one demonic beast after another appeared.
Among these demonic beasts, some were familiar to Jiang Fan, while others were unfamiliar. Most were One Star, with only one or two Two Star.
With his current strength, killing One Star demon beast is as easy as cutting cabbage, but the problem is there are just too many cabbages. Even if he kills them one by one, it will still take a lot of effort.
"These beasts must have heard the commotion and come hunting as a group," Zhou Xiaoyan said through gritted teeth.
Yang Xiaoqiang's expression turned extremely serious. He said to Jiang Fan, "You, Lan Shengxue, and Old Wu stay here to protect everyone. I'll take Xiaoyan and the others and charge out."
Jiang Fan had no objection to this; given the current situation, Yang Xiaoqiang's arrangement was undoubtedly appropriate.
He stayed here to protect everyone and also to provide cover for Yang Xiaoqiang and his men from a distance.
But we can't ignore that Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito that's currently evolving.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at the Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito that were still sucking the blood of their companions, and nocked his arrow again.
" Miao Xi! Get out of the way! Watch out for the monster behind you!" Wang Jiangang shouted anxiously.
Upon hearing this shout, Jiang Fan no longer cared about the Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito and quickly turned the arrow to shoot at the monster that was grabbing at Miao Xi with one claw.
The monster, struck in the heart, let out a painful howl and collapsed to the ground.
Having narrowly escaped death, Miao Xi turned to look at Jiang Fan and said, "Thank you."
Jiang Fan nodded.
"Aaaaaah! Jiang Fan, quick, get some backup! There are too many, we can't handle this!"
Zhou Xiaoyan was covered in wounds from the attacks of the three demonic beasts. It was only because he was fast enough that he was spared; otherwise, he would have been torn apart by the three beasts long ago.
Jiang Fan dared not delay and fired three arrows simultaneously, hitting the monster that was attacking Zhou Xiaoyan at the same time.
"Awesome!" Zhou Xiaoyan gave a thumbs up.
Yang Xiaoqiang: "Can't you be of any use? Stop calling on Jiang Fan for help all the time. He not only has to deal with Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito, but also protect everyone else."
Just as Yang Xiaoqiang said, Jiang Fan is currently feeling a bit overwhelmed.
At that moment, Lan Shengxue's voice rang in his ears.
" Xu Dai and his team are assembling the equipment to restore communications; it should be up and running soon."
"How long will it take?" Jiang Fan asked.
Xu Dai answered Jiang Fan: "Three minutes at most."
At this moment, Xu Dai and Li Zhe also realized that Jiang Fan was Tang Fan, after all, they had only seen that miraculous archery skill from one other person.
"Three minutes..." Jiang Fan muttered to himself.
Even if communication equipment is restored, it will take a very long time before rescue arrives.
The scale of this beast tide should not be underestimated. The outer fortresses are unlikely to come to our aid, as doing so would be suicide. Therefore, we can only hope that the inner fortresses will send reinforcements.
Even from the nearest fortress in the fourth ring, it would take three hours to send someone over. In addition, relaying orders, mobilizing manpower, and preparing for departure would further delay things.
Looking at the current situation, these are the only people with combat capabilities. The Crazy Old Man is also completely drunk. I'm afraid that within three hours, Fortress No. 31 will be completely destroyed.
"Alright, communication has been restored!"
After assembling the equipment, Xu Dai immediately sent out a distress signal.
Suddenly!
"Buzz!" The deafening buzzing sound, accompanied by a terrifying pressure, instantly forced ordinary people and those with low strength to prostrate themselves on the ground.
Even Zhou Xiaoyan and Wang Jiangang felt immense pressure, their knees buckled, and they gradually crawled towards the ground.
Jiang Fan looked toward the center of the oppressive aura, and after clearly seeing the situation before him, he tightened his grip on the bow and arrow.
