Chapter 42: The Sour Tooth Crossbow

Gloriden stood calmly some distance behind the young man, the dagger in his hand had somehow been replaced by the light crossbow that he had been hanging upside down from his belt.

He had just finished shooting at the troll's arm in front of Urs, and was deftly loading the idle crossbow with a new arrow, and the light crossbow he was wielding was certainly not a tabula rasa.

The light crossbow in the hands of the old thief is called Sour Fang.

【Sour teeth】

- The mage-craftsman who made this magic crossbow once admitted that he was originally inspired by a spell-based 2-ring spell called Yoo Ma's Acid Arrow

The Acid Fang Crossbow has the same enchantment level as the Cursed Blade, which is "+3".

This enchanted ranged weapon was Groloiddon's favorite treasure when he was still in the Thorn Adventures, and in a sense symbolized his memories of the past, and he never thought of taking it to the auction house in the commercial district to sell it during his eight years of being lost and sunk.

Ranged weapons with the "Knockback Shot" stat have more thrust than regular ammo.

The troll attacking Urs immediately took two steps backwards with its arms raised and backwards after being shot in the arm by Gloriden's arrow, but its good balance stabilized its heel in time and did not fall.

After all, trolls' brains are not very good, but the standard six basic attributes of this monster have a staggering 23 strength/14 agility/23 constitution/6 intelligence/9 perception/6 charm, and the combination of the first three attributes of extreme excellence and the last three attributes that are "touching" at the same time is even more serious than our young people.

But after this momentary episode, Urs, who was holding the greatsword, adjusted his movements, and then slashed at the troll's body in the opposite direction.

The Advanced Berserk Specialty could only be activated 3 times a day, and he didn't intend to waste his limited number of Rage sessions fighting a single troll, and the priest's magic was also prepared in Thea's mouth in a soft prayer.

The magic that the girl chose for the young people this time was the brute force technique used in the oil painting maze dungeon against the golem.

A single target creature blessed by brute force will receive a +4 strength bonus for the next short time. Urs took a step forward, and the body of the Cursed Blade extended an additional range of attack along with his leaning forward, allowing the heavy blade to slash through the troll that had just been shot by Gloriden.

The troll's newly swung arm was immediately swept away by the water as the blood splattered from the greatsword swirled into the dark river of the sewer.

The severed-arm troll stumbled against the brick pavement against the wall, but its ugly face opened its big mouth with buckteeth and roared, and then as if not afraid of death, it raised the remaining arm on the other side of its body and attacked Urs again.

The cursed blade in your hand still drips with its blood from the wound.

Adventurers who don't know about trolls are often easily deterred by their lifeless fighting nature.

It's a pity that the old thief Gloleden is not a rookie who lacks practical experience. The brown-haired old man took advantage of the time just now to reload the arrows of the sour tooth crossbow, and the gray eyes saw the monster's movement and shot another arrow, and soon there was a smooth sound next to his ears, representing a hit.

The knockback shooting attribute attached to the Sour Tooth Crossbow made the troll with the broken arm in front of everyone miserable.

Once again, the monster's attack ended in failure.

And the scene that had been a few seconds ago was repeated almost at this very moment. With the brute force bonus of the magic buff that had not yet dissipated, Urs picked up the black greatsword and slashed at the opponent's neck, and the troll's head was then detached from the neck of his body under the subtle cooperation between him and the old thief.

With this sword, he cleanly decapitated the monster in front of him. The troll's "corpse" then fell to his feet, but its headless body struggled with its irregular kicking legs, and the severed sections of its arms and neck seemed to slowly grow new blood vessels and sinews at a visible rate.

Biological trait - Regeneration of severed limbs!

Ignoring the system's kill prompt, Urs didn't think the tenacious monster had been successfully killed, and then looked back and motioned for the old thief with a light crossbow to come and do him a small favor.

Gloledon read Urs's eyes.

So the brown-haired old man walked quickly to the headless troll who had fallen to the ground, carrying an enchanted light crossbow that also had a +3 level, waiting for Urs to add another sword to cut open the monster's chest, and then condescendingly used the sour tooth crossbow with the third arrow to the latter's heart and pulled the trigger.

The headless body stiffened for a moment.

You killed the troll.

[EXP +390 (Kill Bonus)]

Now, this tenacious monster finally ushered in its death.

As the young man first knew about the game and the reminder that Elven Swordsman Draco had been in the halls of the Adventurers' Guild during the day, the troll's regenerative abilities were restrained by fire and strong acid.

However, the degree to which the terms "flame" and "sewer" fit together is well known to most people. Unless you're going to risk being blown up and your enemies doomed to the same thing, lighting a fire in the sewers is never a sensible choice, and that's why the Sewer Troll bounty is rated 3 stars, and it's further divided into two mission phases.

Luckily, arrows fired from the Acid Fang Crossbow all have a strong acid damage of 1d6.

If it weren't for Glorydon's decision to join the gang just in the evening three days ago, Urs didn't actually have any intention of "visiting" the troll witch doctor named Govdor so early.

He confirmed the death of the enemy through the prompt sent by the system, looked down at the corpse of the troll that was no longer twitching, and said to the old man and the girl beside him as if thinking for a while, "Let's move on, Gloriden, Xia." ”

"Are you going to get the additional reward for the second stage of this mission in one go, my esteemed team leader?" After the battle, Grohledon shrugged his shoulders and exhaled from his mouth, turning his head to glance at the young man's scarred side face and casually guessing.

"Of course, but it will also be improvised." Urs did not deny it, and then looked sideways at the priest girl who was walking towards him with the emblem and the shield in hand.

Thea didn't say much, and the amber eyes in her eyes naturally cast a supportive look at the young man.

"In that case, let's move on." Seeing this, the old thief raised his free left hand, pinched his shoulder and twisted his neck, "But then again, it doesn't feel bad to be on an adventure with you...... And this feeling I haven't experienced in a long time. ”

At the end of the sentence, he finished the last half of the sentence in a low voice, as if he were talking to himself, a seemingly casual smile on the corner of his bearded mouth, and then returned to the front of the line and left the corpse of the troll at his feet with the young man and the girl......

PS: Considering the classicism of the spell name, I won't change the name of some of the spells related to the name of the person in the original dnd setting, as long as everyone knows that the story of this book takes place in another world other than Feren.

In addition, the troll information given in the 3R monster manual really has 23 strength, which is higher than the ogre's 21. You didn't read it wrong, and I didn't write it wrong (Forehead Support)
