Chapter 21 Pioneering
Sou!
A neat whistling sounded, and twelve arrows flew swiftly towards the python.
Yikes! Yikes!
The two refined arrows shot by the archery instructor were deeply inserted into the neck of the giant python, and the other arrows only slightly pierced the scale armor of the giant python, and two or three were even directly knocked away by the scale armor.
Hiss~!
The intense pain caused the python to let out a roar, and the huge snake pupils stared at the hunting party, flashing a glimmer of danger.
"Keep shooting!" The shooter instructor commanded.
Sou!
Twelve shooters fired another volley.
The python twisted its body and dodged four or five arrows, but the arrows of the two archery instructors were nailed into the python's body again.
Hiss~!
The python roared, twisting its body and winding down the trunk.
"Free Fire!" The shooter instructor gave the order again.
Sou! Sou! Sou......
Arrows continued to shoot at the python.
However, most of the arrows were fended off by the python through the trunk of the tree, and only a few arrows were able to hit the python.
Don't look at the huge size of the python, but its speed is not slow.
In less than ten breaths, the python had already reached the ground and rushed towards the hunting party.
In the face of the menacing python, the two swordsman instructors were undaunted and led ten swordsmen to form a shield wall and stop in front of the twelve archers.
Seeing that the giant python was fine against so many arrows, Meng Chen shouted, "Shoot its eyes!" ”
The shooters immediately obeyed Meng Chen's orders and concentrated their fire on the giant python's head.
However, the python was clearly wary of this move, and kept shaking its head as it crawled quickly, dodging most of the arrows.
Although a few arrows hit the python's head, none of them could hit the python's eyes.
Soon, the python rushed to the shield wall formed by the swordsmen.
Instead of slowing down, the python accelerated towards the shield wall in front of it.
Boom!
After a loud bang, as the backbone of the shield wall, the two swordsman instructors were knocked seven or eight meters away in an instant, and the broken shields and scale armor were scattered all over the ground.
"Damn! Pills! Meng Chen said in horror in his heart.
The rest of the swordsmen did not change their faces, holding their long swords and performing slashing skills on the giant python.
Phew! Phew! ......Shh
A series of sharp weapons broke the body, and slender wounds appeared on the surface of the giant python's body.
It's a pity that these slender wounds are a little insignificant to the giant python's huge body.
Hiss~!
The python roared, opened its jaw, and swallowed a swordsman into its stomach in one gulp.
After swallowing a swordsman, the python still felt that it was not enough, and broke through the swordsmen's barriers to the rear shooter position.
The shooters also kept their faces unchanged and continued to shoot at the python.
Except for the arrows of the two archery instructors, which can make the python hurt for a while, the arrows of ordinary archers, the python is not even bothered to dodge.
As the hours passed, two more archers and a swordsman were devoured by the python.
Losing 4 soldiers in a row, the anger in Meng Chen's heart overpowered the fear, and he scolded: "Damn! This is Lao Tzu's hard-earned family foundation, how can you swallow it all one by one? Lao Tzu fought with you! ”
Then, Meng Chen rushed towards the giant python and waved his hands together, and a square stone appeared silently.
Most of the stones fell on the python's side, and there happened to be a piece of stone pressing on the python's back.
Hiss~!
Being pressed by the three-ton stone, the giant python screamed miserably, twisted its body frantically, and then overturned the stone on its body.
The giant python quickly noticed Meng Chen's danger, so he twisted his body to aim at Meng Chen's location.
"Lord Protection!"
The surrounding swordsmen and archers frantically launched an attack on the giant python.
The giant python ignored it, resisted these injuries, and opened its huge mouth towards Meng Chen.
In the face of the attacking giant mouth, although Meng Chen trembled a little, he was not flustered.
Meng Chen stretched out his hand to the giant python and released a piece of metal cube with a side length of more than forty centimeters in the python's throat.
With this metal cube holding its throat, the python couldn't close its mouth even if it wanted to.
Moreover, this metal cube weighed 1 ton, and the giant python's head sank and was pressed to the ground by the metal cube.
Meng Chen took the opportunity to release stones at the giant python, and the giant python struggled wildly.
When the stone pressed on the python's body reached five directions, the python had no ability to struggle, and could only be pressed to the ground.
At this time, the ending of the giant python was already predictable, and it was crushed to death by the stone released by Meng Chen.
It didn't take long for a message to pop up in the light curtain in Meng Chen's mind, "Experience +50, soul power +4!" ”
"Ding-dong! Player Meng Chen's level has increased, and the current level is level 3! ”
After killing the giant python, Meng Chen wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and his body suddenly felt a feeling of collapse, and he sat on the ground weakly.
The archer instructor came to Meng Chen's side and asked with a worried expression, "Lord Lord, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine, just take it easy!" Meng Chen waved his hand.
Meng Chen was not injured but afraid, until this moment, his heart was still pounding and beating wildly!
After resting for a while, Meng Chen regained his strength and stood up again.
This time the hunting of the giant python can be said to be a heavy loss, four people were killed and five were seriously injured, and among the seriously injured people was a swordsman instructor.
"Looks like that's all we can do for today's hunt!"
After recovering the stones and metal blocks, Meng Chen led the group across the river and returned to the core of the city on the west bank.
Four of the dead were taken to the city cemetery, five seriously injured were taken to the hospital, and as for the python, it was taken to the slaughterhouse.
After the python was sent to the slaughterhouse, two butchers immediately divided it. Among them, the snakeskins were sent to the tanner's shop to make five sets of refined leather armor; The snake's fangs were sent to the blacksmith to be made into arrows and daggers; The snake meat is fed into the restaurant and made into 2,000 units of white quality grain.
In the following week, Meng Chen continued to lead the hunting team to clean up large and medium-sized beasts on the east side of the river.
Thankfully, I have never encountered such a fierce existence as a giant python since.
During this time, Meng Chen's hunting team killed a total of twenty-six medium-threat creatures, which, together with the harvest of the hunting team on the west side of the river, replenished the City of Hope with more than fifteen thousand units of grain and a large amount of beast materials.
So far, in the northeastern part of the basin, except for two populations of moderately threatened organisms, the rest of the scattered medium-threat organisms have been cleared by hunting teams one by one.
Of course, due to the danger of the jungle on the east side of the river, casualties still occurred from time to time, but Meng Chen's hunting team grew stronger and stronger.
The willingness to cause this phenomenon was naturally Meng Chen's crazy expansion of the number of swordsmen and archers.
Meng Chen trained the civilians summoned this week into 2 swordsman instructors, 2 marksman instructors, 33 swordsmen, and 33 marksmen.
At this time, Meng Chen's army had 122 people, including 4 swordsman instructors, 4 archer instructors, 56 swordsmen, and 58 marksmen.
