Chapter 114: Hunting Flute
The dragon's head, covered with solid scale armor, had just appeared in front of everyone, and in a few blinks of an eye, it had crossed a position of nearly a hundred meters. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info It's just a normal land chocosaur species, but it's used to jumping high when running. The paralyzing traps set by the hunters were easily jumped over, and the monsters roared towards the defenses.
A small group of hunters, led by the captain-like spearman, stopped the monster's momentum, and the monster's huge head slammed into the shield with a "bell" sound.
This sound was like a clarion call for war, and behind this vanguard-like Lu Xinglong, more monsters of all sizes rumbled out, rolling up leaves and dust all over the ground.
The paralyzing trap still played a certain role in blocking, and the monsters' huge bodies stepped on the trap and stood still as if they had hit an invisible wall. The later monster couldn't hold back, and crashed into the companion in front of him, the size difference was too large, and after this collision, it flew upside down, and the strength was comparable, and it was controlled by the ensuing electric shock, and the speed of the entire herd was stagnant.
However, there were still too many monsters after all, and there were more than twenty monsters of different ranks roaring and rushing towards them, and the monsters in the rear collided head to tail, knocking their companions who stepped into the trap out of the electric shock area. The affected monster staggered to its feet, and then bared its fangs and ran wildly.
The monster that started again was not so fast anymore, giving the hunters time to react. There was a sound of whirling, and hunters with long-range weapons mounted their bows and arrows and loaded their crossbows. In an instant, the arrows and bullets escaped the hunter's grasp and flew towards the monster they were pointing at.
Shentu Miaoling's eyes narrowed slightly, and she saw among the archers who shot that most of the hunters were equipped with bow and arrow fillers on their bows that were the same as their weapons. However, instead of a red nitrified liquid, the bottles were filled with a pale blue color.
The girl was wondering, and the effect of the fresh, pale blue liquid was immediately apparent. The bow and arrow slashed through the air with a blue light visible to the naked eye, and shot the head of the monster in the lead. The arrow entered the flesh two or three inches, which could only be regarded as a flesh wound for a huge monster, but in the girl's eyes, the monster who was hit by the arrow immediately withered, and his eyes dimmed a lot.
"It's ...... Does it have an anesthetic effect? She said to herself.
"No, it's just to make the monster tired." Jia Xiao said.
The only archer in the team screamed a pity not far from the battlefield. If Shentu Miaoling had such a sharp weapon in the pursuit of the female fire dragon, it would not be impossible to get rid of the monster with the other two companions. At that point in time, being able to effectively contain monsters is much more useful than a Punch Bottle that can deal more damage.
This wave of attacks was agreed, and the monsters that had just started were blocked by long-range attacks, and their bodies froze slightly. Here you can see the difference in physical fitness between monsters of different ranks and species. The terrestrial bodies of the Terrestrial Dragons and Ornithosaurus are generally weak, and when they are hit by a small blue arrow with a fatigue effect, their bodies will stagger and become unstable. The thick-skinned crustaceans and the wyvern subspecies were stronger, and after a few swings, they regained their balance.
Several large reptiles, each of which was more than ten meters in size, had eaten three or five arrows or bullets raw, but they did not look painless, screaming and rushing forward.
"Did you find a monster here...... All of them are land-based breeds. Xiong Fuji wondered.
In the valley, the trainees had at least encountered a flying high-ranking dragon like the Swift Dragon, a great monster bird that barely had the ability to fly, and a special wyvern species like the Rock Dragon with the ability to burrow into the ground. But as far as the eye can see, all the more than twenty monsters can only run on the ground, and some of them have grown wings only as decorations that have not yet degenerated completely. It's as if there's an invisible sieve that sieves out all the monsters that are too "troublesome".
"There are three Guild warships patrolling the sky, and the high-ranking Wyverns are more desperate than these miscellaneous creatures." Jia Xiao explained, "Maybe it's because of the deterrence of the warship, so that the flying dragon species will not easily rise into the air." ”
Between the words, the monsters that rushed up later had already occupied this battlefield within a radius of several hundred meters. The union's hunters shouted "Hunter's Glory" and took the lead in fending off the furious monsters. Service hunters are the core combat force in the hands of the union, and compared with free hunters, they have better treatment - food, clothing, housing, transportation and daily expenses are reimbursed by the union, and if there are no special weapons and equipment requirements, the union can also provide standard equipment, and with the maintenance and renewal of equipment.
At the cost of this, the service hunter is to respond to all the commissions appointed by the union, and to actively rush to the front line, and the hunter who retreats or makes a mistake in battle has his own punishment of the union, and correspondingly, the hunter who performs well is also rewarded with a lot of money.
The Freelancers were much more disorderly, with only about a dozen hunters present who had accepted the Freedom Mandate to defend here. In battle, they show a clear tendency to attack monsters that are rare and valuable for materials, and have little interest in monsters that are dangerous but of little value.
The two sides formed two distinct pieces in this chaotic battlefield, and every three to four people entangled a monster, and the battlefield showed a brief stalemate.
"Look at that! What kind of weapon is that? Xiong Fuji asked, pointing to a strange-shaped weapon.
In the middle of the field, a medium-sized hunter in full-body armor wields a hammer-like weapon in his hand. It is said to be a hammer, but its handle is nearly twice as long as that of an ordinary standard hammer, almost catching up with the length of a large sword. On the head of its hammer, there were holes of different sizes, and these holes made strange noises as the weapon continued to swing and the air poured into it.
"It's a hunting flute!" Jia Xiao fixed his eyes, "The configuration of this team is really luxurious. ”
The Hunting Flute is also included in the Hunter's standard armament, as it has a long, heavy handle that can be used as a special form of a sledgehammer, and the effect of striking is even greater than that of a hammer with a short handle. However, this is not the characteristic of the flute - since it is a "flute", it can be played, and the hunting flute is fused with the essence of monsters, and it is said that the sound of the flute can temporarily enhance the abilities of teammates.
"Liar, huh? If I can become stronger by my voice, wouldn't I be invincible if I shouted a few more times on the battlefield? Xiong Fuji said disdainfully that Big Bear's father, like him, was a hunter who focused on frontal attacks. When he was young, his father taught him some frontal weapons such as spears and swords, but as for this kind of hunting flute with auxiliary functions, he didn't even mention it.
"I don't know why," the girl said, "but certain sound waves may have a special effect on humans, and I've heard that some races of Elu, with their knowledge of race, can play strange tunes with a simple horn flute, thereby increasing the hunter's destructive and defensive power, and even restoring physical strength and spirit." ”
"So, isn't the endurance of this squad endless?" The big man said incredulously.
"That's not the case." Jia Xiao explained, "The flute's physical strength is also limited, and as a melee weapon, it is not uncommon for him to be hurt by being difficult to blow out the score. ”
How to maintain your personal strength while still supporting your teammates, a good piper is no easier to learn than any other weapon.
"But you see, this squad is clearly dominated by this ranged crossbowman." The girl raised her slender hand and pointed at it, "The two melee hunters in front of you are attacking with the intention of restricting the monster's movements, so that he can shoot each bullet more accurately. Such tactics do not consume much physical strength, and it is no longer a luxury to deploy a flute. ”
"Although I can't understand this evil flute, this team is indeed terrifyingly rich." Kuma Fuji also looked at the crossbowman. The crossbowman who was paying attention to the three trainee hunters in the distance was unaware, and was intently aiming at the monster opposite, he was wearing many decorative iron rings on his body, and each movement would make them clange, "This guy has already fired three different bullets, a flame bullet that can burn violently, a penetrating bullet that enhances the penetration ability, and a piercing grenade that can explode in two stages, in just a few minutes, the bullets he fired are more expensive than the cost of the monster on the opposite side." ”
