Chapter Fifty-Nine: Bell the Giant Crossbow Hunter
Bell is a crossbow hunter. It's a ballista, not a ballista.
Acquaintances who were not familiar with him often thought that his crossbow was the kind of ballista that spewed flames and fired bullets.
At the beginning, he would try to explain it, but then there were many misunderstandings, and it was the same thing whether he could explain it or not.
The crossbow in his hand was to be wound. Depending on the charge level, the power will vary. With the different levels of the final charge, the crossbow string needs to be hung on different triggers, and then the appropriate type of crossbow arrow is placed on the crossbow arrow slot, and the trigger is pulled on the monster~ Then the sound of the giant crossbow arrow piercing the monster will enter your brain, how pleasant it is!
The Greatbow has a longer range and more lethality than the Ballista, and the worse thing is the slower winding speed, which moves at a turtle speed when the weapon is drawn.
Doesn't this look like a long-range greatsword? That's right, he is.
The various advantages and disadvantages of the giant crossbow are firmly in Bell's heart, and he knows how to use the giant crossbow.
However, this is an extremely rare weapon after all, and it often gets strange stares from others.
But Bell didn't care anymore.
Now he had taken on the task of guarding the caravan, and during the long desert journey, he and three other freelance hunters improvised this group with no tacit understanding. Jointly maintain this task.
Hanging from his back was a young man wearing luxurious armor, his armor seemed to be made of expensive and hard white star iron, in the hot sun, the reflected sunlight was as bright as the glittering jade that exploded in front of his eyes, and his greatsword looked like it was made of a large number of dragon stones, the surface color was extremely beautiful golden yellow, and like the armor, it could also shine a huge amount of sunlight. The fly in the ointment is that there are several grooves on the back of the big sword inlaid with gems that are empty, and it is also possible that the young man thought that the gems were too dazzling and secretly deducted the stones...... However, all this is just Bell's speculation, and after the mission, it has nothing to do with them, and at most they can discuss the distribution of operations in the event of a mission crisis.
A small hand, a hunter who looks a little small. Through the tattered leather armor, only his thin body could be seen. His face is constantly furrowed, and his alert eyes are constantly looking at his surroundings.
If this filmmaker hadn't missed his eyes, he should only be able to barely deal with the Huang Sulong group, and if he encountered any powerful monsters, he should be the first to escape.
The last one was a hunter with a hammer, his weapon looked very rudimentary, he was a huge piece of iron, and then tied to a thick piece of wood, and the leather armor on his body had been worn for many years, the whole leather armor was washed white, and the parts of the leather armor at the collar, cuffs, and joints were very worn. Although this wallet is very old, there are many patches on the damaged parts of it. And his face was full of the word "competent".
Bell could tell at a glance that Hammer was a capable, pure, well-hunted old hunter.
With the rich kid who sneaked out to play in front of him, and the filmmaker who was like a thief more than a hunter, this hammer hunter was much more reliable.
So Bell made a small decision, if he came across some powerful creatures, he would move closer to the hammer.
Wandering in the desert is a very depressing affair, the days are extremely hot, the evenings are extremely cold, and in the harsh weather, the best time of the day is three hours at dawn and three hours at night.
It's a pity that this time, the escorted caravan was transporting beautiful colored furs such as peach fur beasts wrapped in ten herbivorous dragons, and as long as such a convoy was transported, it could instantly fill the entire colored fur market in Kantas. However, the terrible news is that there is also a caravan transporting colored furs, and whoever enters Kantas first will be sold out in an instant, and the caravan that enters Kantas first will become rich overnight. Then enter the caravan of Kantas, and the colored furs transported will be worthless, completely unsold, and bankrupt in an instant. So the merchants who blocked all their wealth urged the herbivorous dragons to travel day and night, and the hunters had to escort them forward. Fortunately, the merchant also knew the darkness and harshness of the desert, so he provided the hunters with a limited supply of hot and cold drinks. It made the journey a little better.
However, this is the danger of being the main part of the desert. There are also some dangers of small heads, that is, all kinds of monsters that run rampant in the desert. Whether it's hordes of yellow dragons, or all kinds of powerful and terrifying wyvern species. Once you run into it, it's a big problem.
As the only shooter on the team, Bell, who has the best eyesight, sits safely on the back of the herbivorous dragon, alerting them to danger ahead and avoiding them in time.
Although you have to face the trouble of sun exposure, it is still very pleasant to wear a few more robes and endure the sun than walking 100 kilometers a day and stepping on the hot sand.
As the caravan kept moving forward, Bell soon spotted danger in the distance.
Bell narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze piercing a distance of three kilometers to where he wanted to look.
It was a black horned dragon and two ceratosaurs.
When the female ceratosaurus reached the breeding period, her whole body changed from yellow to black, which was an irresistible attraction to the male ceratosaurus, even if it was a warning to other creatures.
Whether it was the black horned dragon, which was more agile than usual, or the horned dragon, which was already extremely terrifying, it was not what Bell wanted to see.
The only good news was that although they had broken into the Ceratosaurus vigilance, the fierce gladiatorial battle between the two Ceratosaurus made it impossible for them to pay attention to the merchants.
Once again, the two ceratops collided with each other, fighting tirelessly for the right to mate with the black horned dragon.
"Everyone, stop!" Bell shouted. Everyone looked up at Bell, who was on guard, and soon they all stopped.
The merchant leader who was walking in front of him snorted and shook the fat off his body and ran towards the herbivore dragon where Bell was.
Coming to the side of the herbivorous dragon, he grabbed the grappling hook that was pressed on the herbivorous dragon to assist people to climb up, but the merchant leader was so nervous that he had just climbed up and almost stepped on the air, but fortunately Bell reached out and pulled him so that he would not lose face.
"Mr. Hunter, what did you find?" The merchant asked nervously.
"Look at that place." Bell pointed to the place where the three ceratosaurs gathered in the distance.
The merchant led the way with his chubby hand outstretched, and with trembling fat flesh, he grabbed the binoculars that hung around his neck. There were several times when he couldn't hold on to the bouncing telescope because he was nervous, so he took a deep breath, squeezed the telescope in his hand, and held it in front of his eyes.
"Ceratosaurus!" The merchant shouted!
At this time, Bell looked at his teammates who might be about to fight side by side, and took their expressions in his eyes: the hammer looked solemn, and his hand was directly holding the hammer hanging behind his back; The whole body of the little hand trembled with fear, and as he trembled, some of the decayed parts of the leather armor turned to ashes and fell into the air, and even more excessively, two or three flies flew out of the holes in the leather armor; And the rich kid trembled excitedly: "I think we should slaughter that horned dragon head-on!" ”
"What should we do, Mr. Hunter?" The merchant shuddered with the fat on his face.
He asked Bell, who had a three-star medal among the four hunters, the highest rank in the squad, and he was already thirty or forty years old, unlike the other three young hunters, Bell was at the peak of a hunter's life in both strength and experience.
Bell lowered his voice and gave the best advice from his own experience.
"For safety reasons, we have to make a detour of at least five kilometers to the left or right."
As soon as Bell finished speaking, the merchant shouted, "Absolutely not!! ”
It wasn't until he yelled that he realized Bell's displeasure. It seems that he is too excited.
"Mr. Hunter, please think of a way, my shipment must be delivered to Kantas as soon as possible..... Damn, if there's a good idea, I'll add another 500 gold to your pay! The merchant shouted hysterically.
Bell's eyes widened instantly, and the other two looked greedy, the only thing he didn't care about was the rich, luxuriously dressed kid, who was now full of thoughts on how to take down the horned dragon.
Bell slowly lowered his head, his brain hanging low and constantly thinking of a way, but there was no way, the only possibility was to take risks.
"Listen, man." Bell said to the merchant: "The battle for the right to mate is very long-lasting, maybe we can sneak over, but keeping a distance of one kilometer from the ceratosaurus is the bottom line!" ”
"Okay! Good! The merchant was pleased to see that the hunter had made a suggestion that was not a suggestion.
The only unhappiness was raised by the rich kid: "Wait! Maybe we should just kill the ceratosaurus? In this way, even the time of detouring is saved. ”
Bell laughed angrily: "There are three horned dragons over there, if you want to send them to death, I won't stop you, don't bother others!" ”
As he spoke, Bell yelled at the rich kid.
The rich kid blushed, and he stepped aside angrily, the shining armor on his body almost lighting up Bell's eyes.
"The kid is back!"
"What!" The greatsword clenched his fists.
Bell threw him a black cloak: "Put on this cloak, your armor is too bright!" Will attract the attention of the ceratosaurus. ”
He took the cloak and walked to the side angrily.
After calming down the discord of the makeshift squad, Bell clapped his palms and caught everyone's attention.
"Let's put a stop collar on the herbivorous dragon. Then cover everything that shines on your body and keep your mouth shut. Let's go! ”
The merchant and his assistants did as Bell said.
Soon, they met Bell's request.
