Chapter 0024: Deathmatch
In order to survive, the humans of the Black Forest have tried everything they can. They built their homes in the blue wisps of the road and opened up the wilderness in the arduous struggle.
Even a shack with leaks on all sides, a village built in a swamp, is much better than a curtain.
Similarly, in order to survive, human beings use their wisdom to the extreme. Everyone in the Black Forest has a skillful hand, and crafting and repairing weapons is a necessary skill.
In the forest, where it is difficult for humans to fight monsters with sharp teeth in hand-to-hand combat, a lightweight bow can greatly increase the safety of going out on adventures. It can keep enemies and threats at a distance, attacking and defending.
The light crossbow that Zhou Qingfeng bought was worthy of the price, and the crossbow arm was made of the best century-old catalpa wood in the forest, which was very tough due to the cold weather. The bowstring is not a cow tendon or rattan, but the silk of a parasitic spider that Ciric said earlier.
Thousands of spider silks are twisted into a thin bundle, which has excellent strength and elasticity. It is not afraid of water, moisture, or dryness, and can be trusted almost at any time. If enchanted, it can also inflict magic damage on arrows.
Zhou Qingfeng used such a light crossbow to give a sludge monster a critical blow to the head. A crossbow bolt accurately pierced the monster's gaping jaw, piercing the back of the head and revealing a sharp arrow.
But......
Ciric shouted, "Run, silly boy. ”
The Sludge Monster's vitality is extremely tenacious, and it will not die if it is shot in the head. The sludge monster hit by the crossbow bolt snapped into the crack, and the exposed half of the arrow's tail was snapped off by a click, and it continued to pounce nonchalantly.
it!
Zhou Qingfeng screamed strangely, and hurriedly retreated to open the distance. He's a thief, and he's running away pretty fast, like oil under his feet.
The three ordinary sludge monsters looked unscathed and pounced again. They were covered in mud and water, and their four flippers crackled on the ground, twisting their bodies and moving forward quickly.
Zhou Qingfeng scolded in his heart as he ran, "Ciric, what's going on?" Monsters can't be killed, and they're still alive when they get headshots. ”
Ciric said disdainfully: "This reptile has a small brain and a tough skin, and the crossbow bolt you shoot misses the vital point, so naturally it can't kill it." But the paralyzing poison on the head of the arrow has worked. ”
Zhou Qingfeng ran more than ten meters and then turned back. I saw that among the three sludge monsters, the one that was shot by the crossbow bolt was indeed dragging behind, and after chasing for a while, it became staggering, crooked, and obviously unable to keep up.
The remaining two sludge monsters chase the slow, short-legged gnomes. Seeing that Old Borg was about to be bitten to death by the monster, a magical light lit up in his hand, and a 'greasy technique' scroll was activated, leaving a large slippery greasy oil stain.
The two sludge monsters rushed extremely fast, stepping directly into the oil trail. They immediately skidded on all fours, collided with each other, and their speed was greatly reduced, and they stopped in front of the old dwarf.
But the greasy spell can only block it for a while, and it won't be long before the two sludge monsters can get rid of the oil stains. The old dwarf ran away again, shouting, "Shoot again!" Victor, shoot again! The paralyzing poison works quickly, hurry up and shoot again. ”
Zhou Qingfeng turned his head to look at Todd, who was fighting.
The leader of the sludge monster was much more powerful, much stronger than the other three in terms of strength, speed, and cunning. Its skin is its natural armor, smooth and tough.
Todd's axe slashed his opponent several times, and the normal target would have been dismantled long ago. But the leader of the sludge monster was left with only a few fleshy wounds, and there was no way to deal a fatal blow.
Todd, on the other hand, was in danger after a brief battle, and his axe was completely unable to cope with the nimble tongue of the leader of the sludge monsters, which was two or three meters long, and the tongue was sharp, like a spearhead with armor-piercing abilities.
Todd had been hit several times by this 'tongue spear', and it was only with the cowhide armor on his body that he could resist. But the limbs that the cowhide armor could not protect were troublesome, for example, he was hit on the thigh, and he was pierced on the spot, and the blood flowed like an infusion.
The wounded barbarians went even further, their axes dancing like windmills.
But the leader of the sludge monster kept retreating cunningly, clearly wanting to drag Todd to death in blood.
In this case, Zhou Qingfeng quickly pulled the lever on the light crossbow and pulled the crossbow arm back to tighten. A bolt with a paralyzing agent is loaded into the groove of the receiver.
"Todd, back off!" Zhou Qingfeng shouted.
The barbarian was already a little out of breath, and the fierce fighting was a huge drain on his physical strength. He let out a brutal cry, but his thighs were already involuntarily stiffening—something like a sludge monster must have poison attached to its 'tongue spear'.
Although the poison of the Sludge Monster is not as good as the 'paralyzing poison' of the God of Murder, it still causes great trouble for the barbarians.
Hearing Zhou Qingfeng's shout, Todd stopped and breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect this sludge monster leader to be so difficult, and his strength completely suppressed him. Even his proudest strength is not comparable to the other party.
The leader of the sludge monster originally distanced himself from Todd, but when Zhou Qingfeng came up, it immediately twisted its ugly eyeless head, cracked its big mouth and hissed like a mighty roar. And then......
This monster realized Zhou Qingfeng's danger, and unexpectedly exerted its strength and pounced on it. It was extremely fast, and its huge size rushed in front of Zhou Qingfeng, with a big mouth, and the 'tongue spear' shot out like a ballista, making a popping sound that shook the air.
When the 'tongue spear' was about to pierce Zhou Qingfeng's chest, a blue electric current suddenly appeared between the two. The 'Lightning' scroll captured from the goblin warlock was activated, and an arm-thick flash of lightning suddenly lit up......
The swamp shore turned into darkness in an instant, and all that was left in everyone's eyes was dazzling lightning, and thunder sounded in their ears, shocking people's hearts. Many people were fleeing in a panic, and their eyes were blackened by the thunder, and they fell directly to the ground. Some people lost their sight in the bright light and fell to the ground.
Zhou Qingfeng himself didn't expect the scene of this 'lightning technique' to be so big. After the arcane was activated, his ears were buzzing with shock, his eyes were white, and he stayed where he was. Leng Buding felt that someone picked him up and dragged him back more than ten meters.
After a few seconds, Zhou Qingfeng regained some vision in his eyes and saw the battlefield environment clearly.
It was Todd who dragged Zhou Qingfeng away, and the barbarians even dropped the axe in order to save him.
The 'Lightning Technique' works quickly, and it is very effective when used to block enemies instantly.
However, after the leader of the sludge monster was electrocuted, the 'tongue spear' contracted, but the huge body did not stop colliding with him. If it weren't for Todd's quick movements, Zhou Qingfeng would have been pounced on by the monster, and most of his skull would have been gnawed off.
In such a flash of lightning, Todd was already at the end of his crossbow. His axe was gone, and one of his thighs was covered in black blood and he couldn't move. This stubborn and brave barbarian could only say to Zhou Qingfeng: "Victor, it's up to you." ”
The leader of the sludge monster on the opposite side was also scorched by the electricity, and the original slippery body surface cracked everywhere, revealing the scarlet flesh inside. Most of its forelimb flippers have been vaporized by electricity, and its mobility has been greatly reduced.
But instead of dying, the monster was even crazier. It opened its mouth and let out a piercing hiss, and pounced desperately, trying to bite Zhou Qingfeng, the last threat.
"Why does this monster always like to open its mouth so wide?" Zhou Qingfeng raised his crossbow, aimed it at the terrifying ugly mouth, and shot it in.
The bolt gets another headshot......
