Chapter 14: Hunt for the Kill
In the desert, the chase and escape battle has been going on for an hour.
Tang Dou's fifteen sand scorpions were found by the sand wolf thieves, and they only had time to concentrate eight when they escaped, and the remaining two were caught as soon as they got out because they were too close to the sand wolf thieves.
For Tang Dou and the six of them, the eight-headed sand scorpion lacked the conditions to replace, so it was impossible for the sand scorpion to keep it at the fastest running speed, so they had to escape at a relatively stable speed, otherwise it would not be long before they would end up in an embarrassing situation without the sand scorpion to travel.
In such a situation, the sand wolf thief with enough sand scorpions to update should have quickly caught up with the six people, but in fact it was chased for an hour, and the distance between the two sides was not shortened much, with the current situation, if there is no change, then this distance may be maintained for more than three days, and it is possible to shorten to the point of contact between the two sides.
The reason is Tang Dou's sniping.
The distance between the two sides is more than 1,100 meters, and at this distance, except for archers with sniper ability, even Imorton, a platinum-level powerhouse, cannot launch an effective attack. And as the fleeing party, Tang Dou also has an advantage, that is, the arrows he shoots will increase the range relatively due to the pursuit of the other party. Therefore, the Sky Roaring Bow, which originally had a stable range of about 900 meters, could also attack the opponent.
As long as there is a sand wolf thief who comes out, Tang Dou will attack.
At first, the sand wolf thief didn't expect Tang Dou to have such an exaggerated range, most of the average snipers were only at a range of seven or eight hundred meters, and one thousand and one hundred meters was too exaggerated. It was because he didn't expect that Tang Dou killed five people in one go at the beginning, and the sand wolf thief reacted.
The sand wolf thieves also thought of a roundabout outflanking method, but Tang Dou's range was too long, and Edward and Donald were also human spirits, so they specially chose the route with fewer sand dunes to move forward, so that even if the sand wolf thieves wanted to use the sand dunes to cover and outflank, it was impossible to do it.
In an hour, the sand wolf thieves thought of seven or eight ways, but they still couldn't get close to Tang Dou and them.
"Look at this, we should be safe?" Sha Yunyue drove his sand scorpion closer to Tang Dou and asked.
"Safety? It's impossible, you look at the position of the other party's Chinese army, needless to say their big leader, I don't think the guys around him are not a good way, and don't forget, the other side has a large number of sand scorpions that can be replaced, and we don't, this sand scorpion can run for another two hours is already good. What will we do then? Tang Dou frowned.
Now he has no better way, the other side is outnumbered, if he kills them with iron heart, let alone siege, even the crossbow shot after a distance of two hundred meters can also make them all finished.
"Brother Tang, are you blaming me for letting you meddle in your affairs?" Sha Yunyue asked with the skill of transmitting the sound into the secret.
"Hehe, how can it?" Tang Dou will also do this, he learned from Sha Yunyue. This kind of kung fu is not difficult for people with understanding, and for those with bad understanding, they may not be able to learn it in their lifetime.
said so, but Tang Dou's face was full of expressions of "I'm just blaming you".
"Alas, Brother Tang, I know it's wrong for me to let you take care of this matter. But I really can't pretend I don't know anything about it. I just didn't expect to put everyone in such a situation. If the sand wolf thief really catches up, I have a secret method to temporarily block the big leader of the sand wolf thief for a while, and then Brother Tang can just take everyone and escape, don't worry about me! Sha Yunyue sighed lightly.
"I always think the meaning behind your words is, 'If I really do this, you will not let me go even if you are a ghost'?" Tang Dou rolled his eyes: "Can you speak well?" It's useless to think about these things with that effort, why don't you help me think about how to deal with the guys in the back! ”
Sha Yunyue glanced at Tang Dou helplessly, a little puzzled by this man who was always duplicitous. However, she still said: "If you talk about medical skills, I don't think I lose to anyone, but I am really inferior to Brother Tang in terms of strategy." I wonder what kind of trick Brother Tang has? ”
Tang Dou blinked and grinned: "I'll just treat you as a praise for me!" ”
"Brother Tang!" Sha Yunyue said angrily: "Didn't you say that you shouldn't think about anything else now, you should think more about how to fight the enemy?" ”
Tang Dou sighed: "I can't help it." So adjust the atmosphere! He shrugged helplessly: "Unless our sand scorpion has the ability to move permanently, I really don't know how to get rid of these guys, the first condition for flying a kite is to run faster than the enemy, and the current situation is that the other party can run faster than us!" ”
Sha Yunyue bit her lips lightly: "Then only I tried it using the secret method." I'm an elf, and the sand wolf thieves may have a few concerns and dare not kill me! ”
"Huh!" Tang Dou really wanted to knock Sha Yunyue up: "Are you telling the truth, or are you teasing me?" Even if you die here, who knows that you were killed by a sand wolf? Besides, it's not that you have any concerns with a bunch of outlaws. Also, I seriously doubt your secret method, don't treat the platinum powerhouse as a dish! ”
"Brother Tang, who can kill Xiaofeng, will also be afraid?" Sha Yunyue said angrily.
"Howling Wind is stupid, and even more arrogant. He's a pirate, an arrogant idiot. You look at the ones in the back, do you think they're arrogant idiots? Maybe the big leader of the sand wolf thieves looked down on us, but he just looked down on us, but he didn't underestimate the enemy. Look at the actions of these sand wolf thieves, they are slowly completing the encirclement, now it seems that we are easy, but as long as our sand scorpions can't run, we will be surrounded by these guys in a moment or three! ”
Tang Dou pointed to the sand wolf thieves in the distance and said, "Where are they sand thieves." It's just a group of soldiers, and the lineup is too neat and orderly. If the sand thieves had such a strong literacy, this sea and sand desert would have been unified a long time ago! ”
Sha Yunyue also knew that what Tang Dou said was reasonable, and there was no way in her heart, her secret method could indeed allow her to fight hard with the platinum powerhouse in a short period of time, but she also knew her own situation, she didn't have much actual combat experience, even her current strength couldn't be fully exerted, and after using the secret method, I was afraid that she would not be able to play a few percent. It's okay to deal with ordinary enemies, but it's hard to deal with these vicious sand thieves.
"Hah! Thought of it! Tang Dou patted his forehead and said, "Sure enough, talking nonsense is conducive to thinking!" ”
"Brother Tang has a way?" Sha Yunyue's eyes lit up.
"Can you get some poison smoke now? Preferably the kind that can poison sand scorpions! Tang Dou asked.
"Well, I do have some poisonous smoke for self-defense, although I've never tried it with a sand scorpion. But theoretically there shouldn't be a problem! Sha Yunyue took out two thumb-sized jade bottles from his arms: "Once these two things are mixed and then encounter the air, they will produce a large area of poisonous smoke. However, this kind of poisonous smoke is not fatal, it will only make people temporarily lose their strength, and the effect on soul cultivation is not very good! ”
"What happens if you add the poison of the Sand Devouring Scorpion?" Tang Dou turned over his hand and took out the medicine bottle containing the sand devouring scorpion venom.
"No problem, this poisonous smoke is very compatible. You can add anything! Sha Yunyue nodded.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you!" Tang Dou threw the medicine bottle to Sha Yunyue: "Whether it can be done or not depends on your craftsmanship, Sister Dongfang!" ”
Sha Yunyue didn't say much, and immediately matched poison on the back of the sand scorpion, that is, her strength, how could ordinary people be so calm on the back of the sand scorpion.
"Brother Di, do you have any solutions?" Donald saw Tang Dou and Sha Yunyue talking just now, and he didn't get close, he knew that Tang Dou and they had some secrets, so he deliberately didn't come to investigate. Now that the two of them have started to act, they immediately stepped forward to ask.
"There's a way that isn't the way to go." Tang Dou said his plan: "Now I miss Mr. Highberry a little bit when they were there, just say it, I promise to take out a bunch of poison, now, we only have one chance!" ”
"That's true!" Donald sighed: "I don't know what happened to them!" ”
"It can live, it can die. Their fate is in their hands, and we have no control over it! Tang Dou shrugged: "Actually, when you set off, you already had such preparations, didn't you?" ”
Donald was silent, and on this topic, he simply could not continue.
It didn't take much effort, Sha Yunyue had already mixed the poison, all of them in a fist-sized medicine bottle, and threw it back to Tang Dou.
Tang Dou tied the medicine bottle to the tungsten steel arrow: "Success or failure depends on this move, if you can poison the other party, then naturally everything will be fine, and at worst, I hope to poison part of their sand scorpion, so that we can be equal in speed." If it doesn't work, then we have to prepare to fight hard, we can't run away, it's better to save some strength to kill! ”
"Good!" Donald tightened his greatsword.
Tang Dou shook his head and muttered in a low voice: "It's really self-inflicted!" With that, he shot the arrow with the poison bottle into the air, and at the same time drew a tungsten steel arrow and shot an arrow at the falling medicine bottle.
The vial was shattered when it was still ten meters above the ground. The dark green liquid splashed everywhere, turning into pale yellow smoke as soon as it touched the air. The range of the smoke was extremely large, covering a radius of two or three hundred meters, and it just happened to cover the vanguard of the sand wolf thieves.
The poison was really powerful, and it immediately made the leading sand wolf fall to the ground, whether it was a human or a sand scorpion, as long as it was stained with the poisonous smoke, it would immediately fall to the ground, and he died without even struggling.
"It worked!" Donald clenched his fist and shouted.
But Tang Dou's brows furrowed even tighter, because he found that the sand wolf thieves behind him didn't stop for a moment at all, and continued to rush into the smoke.
Are they going to commit suicide en masse?
Of course not.
Just when Tang Dou was inexplicable, a mutation protruded.
"Oh my God, this, what is this?" Donald stared at the vision behind him, dumbfounded.
Tang Douliu rolled his eyes: "I'll strangle it, the mummy will be resurrected?" (To be continued.) )
