Chapter 42: Pumpkin Missile
Temosis raised his forelimbs, and with a "poof" thud, his claws as sharp as iron hooks popped, grinned, revealing two rows of glittering fangs, and silently fell to the ground, turning behind a pumpkin monster who was fighting the townspeople, and suddenly pounced on his hands and feet and tore them with the ground, cutting the son of the vine into pieces in two blows.
The farmer, holding the pitchfork, was just about to thank the person who had helped, but when he found that it was the fox who should have been hanged, he immediately swallowed back the words of thanks that came to his lips. Witnessing the changes in the melon fields, he knew that Temothys was innocent, but the lost pumpkins and chickens were also valuable possessions. In famine years, pumpkins can even be used as a staple food, so after greeting with his forehead, he turned his head angrily to help other acquaintances.
Kronis was not idle, seeing the fox unleashed, not to be outdone, flew to a high place, and then dived and attacked, like a sharp arrow thrown by a longbowman, instantly piercing a pumpkin monster and inflicting heavy damage on it to the point of death.
The strange scarlet reappeared, and the crow quickly flapped its wings and was about to fly away, but it was too late. The feathers were stained with the gloomy juice of the Son of the Vine, and it was wet and slimy that could not be shaken off, and he could only barely fly to a half-human height under his exhaustion.
Seeing that the child of the vine was about to turn into a pumpkin bomb, and that the unclean and blasphemous power of the splash would bury it with it, Kronis regretted that she had been too aggressive.
At this moment, a familiar figure jumped in from a distance, landed on one leg, pulled the other foot behind him, and then violently volleyed, directly kicking away the pumpkin monster that the scarlet flame couldn't stop dissipating, and landed at the gathering place of the three vine children in the neighboring field.
"Bang...... Smack!"
Even if the pumpkin monster with low intelligence ignites his life into an amazingly powerful explosive bomb, it will only be used as a weapon, and the green phosphorus flame sea will appear one after another dark area without light.
"The system prompts, Oak Town Field Plague (Mission), destroy 9 pumpkin monsters. Progress 17/30 so far. ”
A sigh sounded all around, as if some kind of order had been given, and the children of the vines were no longer gathered together, but scattered in all directions. As the battle progresses, they wound the farmer and armed themselves with pitchforks and rakes from the townspeople, while the remaining unarmed pumpkin monsters use the dead vines that make up their bodies to conjure whips for ranged attacks.
Instead of taking advantage of the victory, Orlov, the mayor of Oak Town, the worshipper of the Reindeer King, gathered his men and counted the gains and losses of his manpower.
"Five acres of fields, more than a hundred sons of vines, now most of them have been swept away, and only forty pumpkin monsters remain. However, they have all completed their metamorphosis, and they are difficult to deal with, and those dead vines that pop up at any time are very tricky. ”
Aldrich Triss, a knight, swept his eyes and grasped the general situation of the whole situation.
"Twenty-six townspeople, almost all of them were wounded because of their lack of experience, many of them were still seriously wounded, and they could no longer continue, and more than half of the fighting was lost, and most of them were bare-handed because the pitchforks and nail rakes were taken away. ”
"Ring the bell! We need a new force. ”
"No, the less people know about the changes that are happening in the fields, the better. Oak Town has been bathed in the glow of the Reindeer King for a hundred years, and the hand of the King of All Souls' Day is here, and I fear that panic will spread like a plague to the town. At that point, something terrible will happen, and I have a clear premonition. ”
'A century!' This coincides perfectly with the time period when the gods were disqualified, isn't it...... I'm vaguely grasping the secrets of the secret realm in the lake. ’
The knight immediately changed his mind: "My body and head are protected by armor, which does not worry me, but only my hands and feet, and if I can be blessed with holy water, I believe that the king of the reindeer will save me from the unclean blasphemous flames." ”
The old man suddenly realized, "Your Excellency, you have reminded me that pitchforks and nail rakes can be blessed with holy water, giving them a sharp edge against the children of vines. ”
"So what are we waiting for, let's do it. Aldrich was overjoyed and welcomed Mayor Orlov's proposal.
Just as the pumpkin monsters staggered and charged, before they crossed the ridge in the middle, the farmers led by Tris were blessed with holy water, and once again ignited their courage to fight.
In particular, a few townspeople who were not lightly injured, after drinking the miraculous holy water, quickly recovered their health, although their faces were a little abnormal, and the old man kindly mentioned that this was a sign that overdraft consumed life force, and would shorten their lifespan, but no one had any objections.
Even a few farmers who were seriously injured were taken away by the pumpkin monster with pitchforks and nail rakes, and the wounds pierced by the counterattack were quickly healed after pouring holy water directly.
All this has greatly boosted the morale of the originally mediocre townspeople, who have seen blood, tasted pain, and are not afraid of death, and have become fearless warriors.
The fox Temosis was a little remorseful, the venom of the minions when dealing with the zombies was purified by holy water, and it temporarily lost this sharp weapon that could threaten Aldrich Tris, and it couldn't help but feel a little panicked. However, the crow Kronis felt well, and after its wet body was washed by the holy water, its feathers returned to its shiny luster, and it flew in the air with palpitations, and no longer dared to dive and attack at will.
Orloff saw that Aldrich, whose hands and feet were glowing with a faint white light, was at his peak, and immediately ordered all the townspeople to form an arrow formation led by the Knight of Tris, and handed him a straw fork blessed with holy water to increase the means of attack.
"Aldrich Triss
Health is 12, maximum health is 15
Defense level 5, defense 25
Base attack 6-9 with a hit rate of 75
Holy Water (Blessing) adds 1-2 special damage
Equip Weapon: Farmer's Pitchfork with base damage of 1-3 and max damage of 2-5. ”
"Rush with me!" the knight roared, and ran forward first, alternating with broken steps, quickly adjusting to his position and finding his rhythm. The townspeople on both sides also ran with their legs, crossed the ridges, and stepped on the potholed melon fields with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The pumpkin monsters also formed a similar formation, with thin wings and the thickest in the middle, with more than eight children of vines facing Tris, decreasing to the margins of both sides.
Aldrich, who was holding a pitchfork, had a terrifying attack power of 8 points of minimum damage and 14 points of maximum damage, and when he saw the formation of the pumpkin monster's needle tip against Maimang, his heart moved, and then with the help of momentum, he threw the weapon blessed by holy water forward, and a javelin-like pitchfork flew through the air, emitting a piercing scream along the way, like the laughter of the incarnation of death who raised his scythe high.
"Woo!" the farmer's weapon pierced through the four children of vines at once, pinning the fifth pumpkin monster to the ground.
The unforgiving knight rushed into the recess split by the opponent's formation, lifted the pitchfork with the son of the vine, swept through the thousands of troops in one move, and attacked in a 180-degree fan attack, smashing four pumpkin monsters around him on the spot.
Strangely enough, most of the severely wounded and endangered Son of the Vine's head was broken, but it did not ignite the remaining vitality and turned into a bomb, which was pulled to death by the enemy with unclean blasphemous fire that splattered in all directions.
Maybe it's the same kind of people all around, or maybe it's the holy water of the king of the reindeer, and I guess the latter is the most likely. ’
Encouraged by the knights, who had lost the pumpkin monster by almost a single glance, the peasants quickened their pace, and most of the bare-handed townsfolk dealt with a son of vines, and although the whip crackled and fell on the shoulders and legs, almost breaking the flesh of the wound, they gritted their teeth and persevered after seeing the miraculous healing of the holy water.
‘27,28,29...... 30。 Silently counting the progress of the mission, when Aldrich smashed a pumpkin monster with both hands in a fist, the system's prompt came immediately.
"The system prompts, Oak Town Field Plague (Mission), destroy 22 pumpkin monsters, and the current progress is 30/30. Mission completion, reward a first-level spell card, pumpkin missile!"
A hidden interface then appeared, with a metal border, with three rows of nine spaces, and this spell card automatically fell to the top of the first row, and the relevant information was immediately revealed.
"Pumpkin Missile, plastic energy spell, attack distance 15-30 feet, attack power 1*4 + (1) points, material pumpkin skin, form two missiles that are bound to hit, causing blunt sagittal delay explosion field damage. ”
Pumpkin skin, all over the ground, pick up a piece casually, Triss broke it with a slight force, and two fist-sized small pumpkins appeared out of thin air, orange-red condensed with the breath of flames.
"Attack!"
The stubborn Son of the Vine was divided into three pieces by the farmer, and the four pumpkin monsters fended off the attacks of the pitchforks and nail rakes back to back, and the whips crackled, but the townspeople were not afraid, and they could not leave the front line with minor injuries, and the seriously injured retreated to Orloff to get holy water, and returned to the battlefield immediately after a simple bandaging and treatment.
When the pumpkin missile appeared, killing the two Vine Sons on the spot, the remaining pumpkin monsters could no longer hold on, and they launched a frenzied tumbling attack, knocking through the unprepared farmers, breaking through their legs and feet, and rushing towards the mayor who was alone in front of the keeper's hut.
"Not good!" Aldrich watched as the boccia-like son of the vine knocked down a wooden bottle of townsfolk and rushed towards the reindeer king's worshippers, grabbing a straw fork and rushing forward as fast as he could.
'Oh my God, I can't forgive myself if Orloff gets hurt by the pumpkin. ’
Thankfully, the ridges that appeared one after another hindered the Vines' advance, and the Knight of Tris was able to catch up, wielding a pitchfork and destroying six more of them, leaving only four pumpkins behind.
"Drink!" Throwing the pitchfork as a javelin, nailing the Son of the Vine at the front, Aldrich leaped forward, clenched his hands into fists, and smashed a pumpkin monster with all his might.
The remnants of the two field plagues, just as they approached Orlov, the old man wielded the wooden hammer given by the blacksmith Zatan, silently recited the prayer, and the hammer suddenly glowed with a faint fluorescence, and then the mayor waved the magic hammer of the judgment fox, and blasted a son of vine away, and the withered vine body exploded countless sparks in mid-air, burning up in an instant, as for the key pumpkin head, it was not broken, and the green phosphorescence turned into a white wick flame, fluttering in the air and slowly descending in the night wind.
The last pumpkin monster, with its hideous ugly face cracking its smug mouth, and its hands withered vines entangled into thorny whips, believed that if this blow fell, the old man would lose half his life if he didn't die.
At this moment, the fox Temosis appeared from the shadow of the corner of the keeper's hut, like a light lightning swooped down on the unsuspecting son of the vine, and the crow Cronis, who was soaring in mid-air, also saw the benefit, and once again turned into a sharp arrow, and fell sharply from the other direction.
The tacit cooperation of the two natural creatures, the wanderers of the wilderness, directly twisted the pumpkin monster into pieces, and the thorny whip that originally fell on Orlov's chest suddenly lost its accuracy and fell short, and he didn't know where to go.
The old man, who had escaped the fate of not dying, but who had been seriously wounded, quickly regained his composure nodded to Temothys and Kronis, and the fox cocked his tail triumphantly and swept around the ground, while the crow pecked away the pumpkin silk sticking to its wings with its beak.
"It's okay, you're okay. Aldrich rushed over and kicked the pumpkin fragments off the ground, making sure there were no safety hazards near Mayor Orloff's location.
"My personal safety is just a small matter, and the most important thing is that everyone is lucky to be alive. This field disaster is finally over, and we in Oak Town have survived safely, thanks to the favor of the King of Reindeer. ”
Tris was a little unappreciative, after all, the farmers fought bravely and did their best, but when he remembered those magical holy waters, which combined healing potions and blessings, so that the weapons could gain the power to destroy evil and the extra edge, he couldn't say anything against it.
"That's right, we won. ”
Immediately there was a cheer in the field, and the injured townspeople held each other up, not erasing the smiles from their faces, even though the wounds on their bodies were still painful.
