Chapter 123: Martial Arts Champions
After being attacked by two rounds of crossbows, the water monster was already struggling frantically, and the pain of the needle pricking also made it extremely painful. But no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't pull the nets free, especially those nets that were tied to it, pulling the bows and arrows as it struggled, causing more damage to the monster.
And these are just the beginning, after the bow and arrow, it is a dozen boulders flying and smashing on the body of the water monster with unmistakable accuracy. Since the trebuchets had already been oriented and positioned beforehand, the chances of a misprojection would not be high, and almost every boulder would be smashed inside that attack point. The water monster has been trapped on that attack point, and naturally it has been attacked by boulders.
The damage caused by the boulder falling down is very great, especially the water monster's body has already been covered with a lot of wounds, and at this time, the boulder will directly open its wounds. After the first boulder smashed into the monster's body, a large amount of blood immediately spurted out of its neck, and a terrible scream came from the monster's mouth.
After the first boulder was smashed, then more than a dozen other stones were smashed down together, and the damage caused to the water monster by that number was even greater, and in an instant, the river around the water monster was stained red with blood.
"Roar, roar, roar!" A more poignant, manic roar sounded, and the water monster struggled frantically, screaming endlessly after another boulder attack, but it could not break free from the nets.
The soldiers ignored the monster's roar and bombarded it indiscriminately, trying to hit every boulder. This also has to say how strong the vitality of the water monster is, and it still has the strength to struggle under the bombardment of such dense boulders.
While the boulders were bombarding, the other soldiers were constantly attacking it with bows and arrows, especially at the location of the monster's eyes and mouth. Because although the eyes of the water monster are not very high, they also play a certain role, and attacking the mouth is to try to damage its tongue and make it lose its positioning function.
When the ninth round of boulder bombardment fell, the monster's roar had gradually weakened from its previous intensity, but just when everyone thought it was weak, the monster suddenly struggled violently, then broke the fishing net, and then dragged its scarred body into the water.
The reason why the water monster was able to break the fishing net was because of its desperate struggle, and on the other hand, the fishing net on its body was bombarded by the boulders, and some of the ropes were broken as a result, so that the water monster was able to break free from the bondage!
The water monster suddenly broke free of the fishing net, and the huge pull also affected the crowd far away from the shore, but fortunately, the distance was relatively far, and they pulled the fishing net together, so this did not cause them any harm.
After breaking free of the net, the monster quickly burrowed back into the water, its scars staining the surrounding river red. Lin Yue motioned for the soldiers to stop attacking, and then jumped into the water with Wang Huaipeng to chase the water monster.
After several rounds of boulder blows, the water monster was obviously disabled to the extreme, and the reason why it was able to break free from the fishing net just now was a dying struggle to exert more powerful strength, but after that, it was like losing its vitality, even if it was swimming in the water, it was still swaying, and several times it seemed to be about to flip its belly and float on the water.
After Wang Huaipeng saw the water monster escape, he was the first to jump into the water and chase after him, and Lin Yue also drove the motor boat to follow.
The speed at which the water monster swam was already much slower, so even with Wang Huaipeng's swimming alone, he could catch up with the water monster at once. Then Wang Huaipeng grabbed the iron knife and stabbed a wound on the water monster's body.
The pain has become a little numb to the current water monster, and after being bombarded by boulders so many times, Wang Huaipeng's knife seems insignificant. So the water monster ignored nothing, dragging its crippled body to the surface of the water and kept diving.
Lin Yue, who was driving the motor boat, drove some distance in front of the water monster first, and then he stopped the boat and threw the dozen or so iron spears that had been loaded on the boat into the water, and the other end of the iron spear was tied to a rope and tied to the boat, so that the iron spear could sink directly under the ship and move with the movement of the ship.
After the water monster arrived at the place where the boat was about, Wang Huaipeng, who was in the water, swam to those iron spears, easily untied the knots on the iron spears, and then held the iron spears, swam to the water monster and stabbed them.
For this iron spear, the water monster can feel more intense pain, but it is so numb that it is on the verge of death, it can no longer care so much, just blindly move forward and sink blindly.
Lin Yue, who was on the water, drove the boat, moving with the movement of the water monster, providing Wang Huaipeng with enough iron spears, and Wang Huaipeng only needed to untie the iron spears one by one and stab them into the wounds of the water monsters.
In this way several times, when Wang Huaipeng couldn't hold his breath, he would also emerge from the water and be responsible for driving the boat, and Lin Yue would dive into the water and stab those iron spears into the water monsters.
One of the iron spears on the monster's body was stuck in the most fixed place, and at the other end of it was a long rope that was connected to the motor boat. The length of the rope is a full forty meters, and even if the water monster dives to the bottom of the river, Lin Yue and the others will not lose the position of the water monster.
After almost all the iron spears were inserted into the body of the water monster, Lin Yue and Wang Huaipeng both returned to the boat, and then slowed down the operation of the boat, allowing the water monster to move with them, only using a small amount of power to prevent the ship from swaying and swinging.
The spear tips of those iron spears inserted into the body of the water monster are smeared with a layer of venom, which will not dissolve in water or blood so easily, but once it remains in the animal's body, it will gradually exude toxicity and cause great damage to body tissues.
The venom from the tips of a dozen iron spears was enough to kill the water monster, especially in its weakened state. However, the water monster's vitality is also really tenacious, in this case it can still drag its body and swim continuously, although the speed is already very slow, but the movement proves that it is still alive.
Lin Yue and Wang Huaipeng took a small boat behind it, and after about ten minutes, Lin Yue could clearly feel that the movement of the boat was slowing down rapidly, and then stopped, which proved that the water monster under the surface of the water had stopped moving.
Since the monster has sunk to the bottom of the water, it is difficult to see the monster through the water, but at this time there is nothing to do, just be patient.
Sure enough, not long after, a dark shadow could be seen under the water through the surface of the river that was rapidly approaching, and then at a distance of about ten meters from the front of the boat, the huge body of the water monster floated up. This situation has almost determined that it is dead. There was no need to check anything, Lin Yue directly turned on the boat and dragged the body of the water monster back to a nearby dock.
After returning to the dock, Lin Yue first asked people to place the body of the water monster, and then asked the researchers who had notified them in advance to do a preliminary dissection of the water monster.
Due to the huge size of the water monster, Lin Yue also preliminarily determined that this should also be a super mutant all along, just like the giant bear that Yuancheng had hunted before. The chance of this super mutant appearing is very small, but it is extremely destructive, but if they can be solved, through the study of them, not only can researchers learn more about the species of the New World, but also by studying the mutant jelly nucleus in the super mutant, we can develop drugs that can enhance the strength of the human body.
Previously, the researchers in Yuan City had studied and done hundreds of experiments after getting the mutant jelly core of the giant bear, and with the addition of some of Lin Yue's views on the previous life, it was possible to develop preliminary drugs, but the side effects of these drugs were too great, so they were still in a state of development, and this time, if the special jelly core of the water monster could also be taken over for comparative study, the researchers of Yuan Guo believed that there would definitely be a greater breakthrough.
However, to be able to capture this water monster and avoid causing more damage, Wang Huaipeng made a lot of efforts, so Lin Yue also told him that he would divide a quarter of the water monster to him. However, Wang Huaipeng obviously didn't care much about these foods, he rejected Lin Yue's kindness, just let him give him a few jelly bodies of water monsters, and prepare dry food for him for a few days.
"Brother Wang is planning to leave?" Through these items that Wang Huaipeng wanted, Lin Yue obviously felt that Wang Huaipeng should want to leave this place.
"I didn't have a fixed place to live in the first place, and the reason why I stayed here was to solve this water monster, and now that the scourge of the water monster has been successfully solved, I should also leave."
Lin Yue smiled and said, "Brother Wang has always been like this alone? ”
Wang Huaipeng hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and said, "Sort of." ”
"Shouldn't it, as far as I know, Brother Wang should be a person who admires collectivity, right?" At this time, Shan Qingzi walked over from not far away and smiled at Wang Huaipeng: "It's an honor to introduce myself to you again, my name is Shan Qingzi, and I am a disciple of Qinglu Mountain Yangzi." ”
"Disciple of the predecessor of Shanyangzi!" Wang Huaipeng looked at Shan Qingzi with some surprise and asked, "The famous domestic martial arts master Doushan Yangzi?" ”
Nodding, Shan Qingzi smiled bitterly: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, although I worship under a famous teacher, I haven't received the true inheritance of my master, and I haven't achieved anything so far, it's really a shame!" ”
"That's a joke, although the predecessors of Shan Yangzi are domestic martial arts masters, they are notoriously incapable of teaching apprentices, but more often they will teach some medical skills, presumably at this point, you should be very successful."
