211. Before the Sentry (continued)
Through the gaps in the green leaves between the trees, the blood gushing out of the piercing wounds of the small bowls and from the chests of the natives made the giant spiders of the hunt fierce, and every time they raised their tentacles high, they would throw the natives hanging from the sharp black spears onto a pile of corpses, which was like a wooden case for meat in a slaughterhouse, piled with dying and wailing in pain.
For the giant spiders, this swarm hunting the natives is like a killing feast, and each giant spider is excited, standing on the outskirts of the crowd and driving them towards the sentry post, like a swarm of tiger sharks eating the fish.
I found that these giant spiders are also very smart, they know how to use the difficult to climb stone wall on the mountain outpost, can help them completely enclose these aborigines, dozens of giant spiders in that jungle area, there is no way to completely surround this thousand indigenous people, if these aborigines want to break out from all sides, at least more than half of the aborigines can survive.
But the giant spiders used a kind of hunting method, always giving the natives a chance to run to the sentry post in the mountains.
Among the natives, there were also those who rose up to resist, and the strong men would always stand in the way of the outskirts of the group, their faces stained with sweat, and their hands tightly clutched with sticks and bony spears, but these most primitive tools could not break through the thick shells of the giant spiders.
A native who rushed out of the crowd raised the stick in his hand high above his head and smashed it on the spider's leg, not even the barbs that were as hard as steel broke, but bounced the stick in his hand high, almost shaking it out of his hand.
He continued to rush forward, muttering some words of prayer to the gods, and with great effort he stretched the stick forward in his hand, trying to stab it in the eye of the black spider as big as a coconut, and the giant spider, sensing the impending danger, threw another native on the tentacle onto the corpse, and poured the tentacles from top to bottom into the body of the native.
The aborigine's body was convulsing violently uncontrollably, and even before his death, he did not discard the wooden stick in his hand, he stabbed the giant spider in the eye with the stick, but the giant spider's tentacles were too long, and with a gentle stroke, his body was raised high, and the blood gushing out ran down the tentacles of the giant spider, and he wailed in pain, and his body flew out uncontrollably.
He fell on his back on the pile of corpses, coughing up blood in his mouth, his eyes full of despair, seeing the gray sky through the dense trees, seeing the sentry posts hidden in the dense foliage on the mountains, seeing the sharp spears on the sentry walls, and seeing the strong crossbows on the strong arms covered with thick fluff, he couldn't recognize the tribe from which they came, but at least they weren't damned Grimm Empire people.
Those strong warriors jumped down from the high wall of the sentry post without any equipment at all, carrying black spears on their backs, like the tentacles of giant spiders, holding the Grimm Empire's standard military crossbow in their hands, wearing format leather armor, like wolves, jumped out of the forest silently, half-squatted on the ground, aimed the crossbow arrows in their hands at those giant spiders, and shot the crossbow arrows cleanly.
......
Beyond the sentry stone wall.
Karantso jumped directly from the stone wall of the outpost with a raid team of twenty orc warriors, each with a powerful crossbow in his hand, and it seemed that the days of these orcs hunting goblins in the underground caves had allowed them to use these weapons very skillfully.
Each crossbow is loaded with five short-roded bolts, and although there is no way to fire them in bursts, they can quickly twist the bowstring and shoot all five arrows in one go.
"Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh"
Those crossbow arrows shot at the giant spider's insect armor, like a barb on the spider's leg, nailed to it, but there was no way to go any deeper.
Only the crossbow arrows shot at the head and abdomen of the giant spider can injure the giant spider, especially when these crossbow arrows are shot into the black eyeball, the giant spider's eye will burst open like a blister, and a stream of jet black ink will flow out of it, and then the eye will quickly dry up, and whenever the crossbow arrow hurts the eye of the giant spider, the giant spider will let out an extremely painful 'hissing' sound.
Originally, these giant spiders hid on the top of the canopy, waiting for the natives to be driven by the giant spiders below the mountain to the high wall of the sentry post, and then climbed out of the trees and killed them under the stone wall of the sentry post, but when their plan was just halfway through, suddenly a group of orc warriors jumped out of the sentry post and shot at them with strong crossbows.
They hide in the canopy of the trees like live targets, these giant spiders don't know where these orc warriors come from, driven by instinct, when they see these orc warriors shoot them with strong crossbows, they become ferocious, and they hang down the spider silk from the big trees.
They didn't realize that these orc warriors were no different from the warriors in the original outpost, and even the powerful crossbows in their hands were almost the same.
These giant spiders rushed forward with their hard insect armor, and in their subconscious, as long as they rushed to the side of these crossbow arrows and raised their sharp tentacles, these crossbow warriors would break away, and almost all the Imperial warriors in the previous sentry posts were like this.
So these giant spiders rushed very fiercely, and they were not afraid of crossbow arrows, and rushed down against the rain of arrows
As soon as several giant spiders hung down from the tall trees, they were shot in the head by the giant spiders, and the silk spinners at the tail of the body lost control, spitting out a large amount of spider silk, and the heavy bodies of the giant spiders fell from the sky, making a loud 'boom' sound, smashing a big pit in the glade, and they could no longer get up.
But more of the giant spiders landed smoothly, giving up their hunt for the natives of Hierro and frantically rushing towards the orc warriors who lined up in a volley of crossbow arrows, and these giant spiders were running very fast in the jungle, and in the blink of an eye, they were close to our orc warriors.
Qige stood on the wall of the sentry post, with a six-pointed star-shaped circle floating at her feet, and behind her, her own 'momentum' finally appeared, but I couldn't see what it was, like a few huge leaves, constantly swinging behind her.
Her hands held a flat wheal of wind, as if condensing countless wind blades together, and those wind blades swirled rapidly around the center of the air mass, and even made a 'whine' sound.
"Wind Vortex"!
Speaking of which, when the wind mage learns the 'wind blade technique', those wind blades are like fine blades flying in the air, and in front of the heavy armor, the damage of the wind blade technique is really not worth mentioning, so in the early stage of the wind mage, the wind blade technique is smart enough, the casting speed is fast, and the consumption of its own mana is not much, and it is extremely threatening to face killers or magicians, but when the wind blade technique is faced with those heavy cavalry, it is useless.
At this time, the thick insect armor on the body of these giant spiders is no different from the armor on the heavy armored cavalry, and the wind blade technique is like tickling them.
But as a wind magician, Qi Ge naturally will not only be good at wind blades, in fact, it turns out that her 'wind pillar' magic is not suitable for use at this time, the only suitable thing is this second-level high-level magic 'wind whirlpool', with the splitting effect of the wind system, and the entire wind whirlpool is formed by countless high-speed wind blades together.
Its most important feature is that these wind blades can easily cut through the armor of heavily armored knights while rotating at high speeds.
Seeing Kige standing gracefully on the stone wall with both hands holding the wind whirlpool the size of a silver plate, wearing a set of salamander leather armor, the last tone of the lengthy magic spell in her mouth was pressed to the lowest, and the moment the end of the voice was spit out, the wind whirlpool in her hand was pushed out by her.
The speed of the whole wind vortex flying in the air is not fast, and there is a kind of spiral trajectory, so that the giant spiders on the opposite side can not calculate the final landing point of the wind vortex, and when the wind vortex rotates at high speed, it makes a kind of 'whine' whistle, which directly tears the air apart.
A giant spider rushed up to see the wind whirlpool flying like a silver wheel, and instinctively raised its steel-solid tentacles and stabbed at the wind whirlpool.
The tentacles of the giant spider made a sharp and piercing sound of a chainsaw sawing wood, but the sound only rang for a moment and disappeared, and then the front end of the giant spider's tentacles was neatly broken, and the silver disk-like wind whirlpool was just a few pieces of wind blades, like a circular saw blade, splitting the giant spider that rushed to the front in two.
The wind whirlpool exploded directly in the belly of the giant spider, and countless wind blades cut the inner abdomen of the giant spider into a pile of minced meat, making the entire giant spider seem to be split from the inside out, and the milky white protein liquid flowed all over the ground.
The giant spiders in the back saw that the giant spider in front died tragically in an instant, where was there any courage to rush up, and stopped in place in fear, the huge body was pulled forward by inertia, stirring up countless gravel on the ground, splashing everywhere, and the giant spider behind didn't have time to stop, and directly hit the body of the giant spider in front, and the scene suddenly became a mess.
These giant spiders looked at Qige on the stone wall in horror, their eight spider legs supporting their heavy bodies, like giant tanks, and they turned around in panic and pounced directly at the orc warriors who were shooting with crossbow arrows on the side.
The twenty orc warriors, under the leadership of Karantso, kept shooting those giant spiders, and the crossbow arrows were too small after all, even if they shot into the body of the giant spider, they could not bring great damage to the giant spider, and could only remain in the giant spider's body like bone spurs.
Moreover, at least half of these bolts were nailed to the thick insect shells of the giant spiders, and even if they were pierced into hedgehogs, it would be useless.
That's why those giant spiders mistakenly think that these orc warriors are the weaklings on the battlefield, they don't have the courage to face Qige's wind whirlpool, but they are not afraid of these crossbow-wielding orcs, with dense crossbow arrows, raising their two tentacles high, revealing their hideous faces.
More than thirty giant spiders huddled together, and instead of the sound of the huge spider legs 'clattering', the dust in the glade was flying.
Karantso saw the giant spiders that had fallen from the trees crawling towards him, holding double-edged swords in both hands, standing at the front of the orc warrior ranks, and at this time, the minotaur Ruka was also holding two black iron axes and standing beside Karantso.
"Collect the crossbow and form a formation!"
Karantso's voice was clear and pleasant, even in the chaos of the battlefield, it was very penetrating, those well-trained orc warriors immediately put the crossbow behind him, and took out the big iron spear behind him, more than two dozen orcs back to back, forming a triangular array of arrows, Karantso and Ruka stood at the top of the arrows.
Those giant spiders were probably accustomed to killing on the Hiero plane, and in the face of the orc warriors, they were not afraid, but raised their two sharp forelimbs higher.
When those giant spiders were only a dozen meters away from Karantso, a ring of ice suddenly erupted under their feet.
Six "Frost Nova" magic scrolls detonated at the same time, and the six ice rings overlapped alternately, continuously impacting the bodies of the dozen or so giant spiders running in front, the power of the "Frost Nova" magic only imprisoned the eight spider legs of the giant spider in place, but their bodies could not stop, and the bulky body had a huge load on the eight spider legs.
The dozen or so giant spiders in front were forced to stop, and collided with the giant spiders behind me again, I stood on the stone wall, and I could even clearly hear the bone cracking with a succession, not only how many giant spiders' spider legs were broken by the spiders rushing behind under such a short-range charge and Huo Ran's rapid stop.
However, the few 'Frost Nova' magic scrolls spread out in the glade easily defused the cluster charge of the giant spiders.
"You are really willing to those orcs, all of a sudden, you actually used so many second-level magic scrolls, and this 'Frost Nova' scroll sells for at least five gold coins in the market. Just to block the first wave of these giant spiders, you are willing to use up the scroll worth thirty gold coins, it seems that what my uncle once said is really a wise saying!" Qige stood on top of the stone wall, watching the giant spider people huddle together on their backs, with an incomprehensible smile on their faces, and said to me lightly.
"Actually, it doesn't cost that much, I'm good at leather-making, and drawing magic scrolls is rarely a failure, speaking of which, when we were in the wasteland at the northern foot of the Pai Plateau, didn't we always do this?
"I didn't let you explain, what is the lack of heart!" Qige rolled his eyes at me, and once again a large wheal condensed in his hand, and countless wind blades converged into a high-speed whirlpool......
I stood aside and watched as the orc warriors and the giant spiders strangled together, and the well-trained orc warriors, under the leadership of Karantso, gathered together, and used the spears in their hands to find the vents of the lungs in the abdomen of the giant spiders, where the worm armor was the weakest, as long as the spear pierced, it was almost possible to say that the giant spider could be inserted.
Karantso rushed to the front, and with the cooperation of Ruka, it was like a spinning light wheel, holding a two-handed big sword to cut off all the tentacles like the spears of those giant spiders with teeth and claws, and the orc Valkyrie-like phantom behind her, stretched out her strong arms, and held Karantso in her arms.
At this time, I found that there was another faint shield of light on Karantso's body, and when those sharp forelimbs pierced Karantso, they would be blocked by that shield of light. I guess that Valkyrie's phantom is supposed to be Karantso's 'power', and it gives her a protective shield that resembles a protective body.
Ruka stood beside her, helping her fend off the giant spiders rushing from the left, his strong body standing beside Karantso, like a mainstay, the bulky giant spiders couldn't shake him, he seemed to swing his axe in a random manner, cutting off all the legs of the giant spiders that rushed up like a melon and chopping vegetables
The orc warriors standing behind Karantso and Ruka raised their spears one after another, stabbing the giant spiders who tried to resist to death.
The giant spider swarm and the orc warrior are like two warships, as soon as they come into contact, the seemingly huge and bulky spider swarm is smashed apart by the orc warrior, and the spear in the orc warrior's hand ruthlessly pierces the giant spider's body......
