Chapter 442: Facing the Monster
When he came to the stable, the iron pier uncovered the felt on the back of the wind horse beast to keep warm, and quickly installed the saddle bridle and other horse harness. But they counted only three horses, one each for Qiuyang, Tiedun, and Mogen. The horses of Cold Fire and Purple Smoke were used as reserve food for the Blood Spider.
Qiuyang immediately made a decision, selected two of the most miraculous wind horse beasts from the stable, and ignored the shouts of the guys crying for their fathers and mothers, and snatched them and left.
Saving people is like fighting fire, and this is not the time to talk about rules.
The snow is deep, but thanks to its tall physique, it can run through the snow and ice. Ziyan took the lead and led everyone to Huangnigang.
The wind and snow are like knives, and the faces of the people who hit them are hot and painful. It is even more difficult for people to open their eyes, and if they are not familiar with the road, they will not be able to distinguish the direction at all.
An hour later, everyone finally arrived at Huangnigang.
This is the fertile plain, as far as the eye can see, a horse and a flat river, full of square farmland. The farmland is full of yellow grass and withered leaves, accompanied by white snow, and is depressed.
Huangnigang is a raised mound through which the road shuttles. The mound is overgrown with a variety of trees and shrubs, including chestnut, elm, locust and many more.
At this time, the trees withered and the branches were sparse. The snow gave the trees a white coat. Even if there is a strong wind, the snow cannot be completely blown off.
They jumped off their horses, tied their horses to the trees, and rushed into the woods, each with his sword in hand. Qiu Yang and Leng Huo raised their two-handed swords and took the lead. Murgan wielded a steel crossbow and followed closely. There is purple smoke cruising next to it with a dark green horn bow. The iron pier dragged at the end with a spear and axe.
The five of them are arranged in an inverted triangle intentionally or unintentionally, and they can react quickly no matter which direction the blood spider attacks from.
"Ziyan, you show the way. Let's first check out where the sea pillars have disappeared. ”
The snow kept falling, and although it was only a few hours apart, the traces of the previous battle had been covered in snow and disappeared without a trace.
Fortunately, the scars on the trees would not disappear, and after walking for more than ten meters, Ziyan pointed to a torn and messy elm tree, and said hatefully: "Captain, this is here." If it weren't for the sea pillar's desperate efforts to stop the beast, I wouldn't have been able to escape. ”
When Leng Huo came over, it seemed to have kicked something, and it was erect. He reached into the snow and picked it up, and it was a broken shield. It is a two-meter-tall shield made of hardwood, boxy, and wrapped in fine iron at the outermost. But at this time, there were six irregular round holes in the shield, apparently pierced by the blood spider's foot spear.
When Qiuyang and the others saw it, their faces changed, and their hearts were heavy. This blood spider is worthy of being a third-order monster, so strong that even a fine iron shield can penetrate it.
If a shield made of fine iron is sufficient, then it is not a problem to penetrate the musculoskeletal bones.
Only when you really see a third-order monster can you understand its strength, Qiu Yang swallowed his saliva, and said astringently: "Everyone be careful, search left and right for any clues." ”
At this moment, only a snap was heard, and the snow on the ground suddenly exploded. A spherical creature the size of a horse's head burst out and flew into the air.
The spherical creature burst apart in midair, six long, thin legs stretched out, and at the same time, its body swelled as if inflated, turning into an ugly giant spider. The black mist boiled, turning into frightened human faces, gathering and scattering, clinging tightly to the blood spider.
As soon as the spider landed, without waiting for everyone to react, it raised its long forelimbs and stabbed at Qiuyang fiercely, its attack was extremely fierce, several times more ferocious than the spear stabbed by the warrior with all his strength.
This is the Blood Spider's terrifying foot gun.
If it is on flat ground, Qiuyang can also jump and run vertically, dodging left and right. But at this time, the deep snow buried his knees, and there was no time to dodge.
At the moment of life and death, Qiuyang was calm as usual. Spotting the momentum, he swung his two-handed sword sharply and slashed at the side of the footgun. He was an elite warrior with great strength. But compared to this third-order monster Blood Spider, his strength was still slightly inferior. The horizontal slash let out a roar of gold and iron, and the blood spider's forelimbs only changed direction slightly, slashing through Qiu Yang's shoulders and plunging headlong into the snow.
The black robe shattered, blood splattered. The blood spider was just a blow, and Qiu Yang was already injured. However, his efforts were not useless, as the massive damage carried by the two-handed greatsword slashed through the spider's forelimbs, and black juice splattered out and fell on the snow, stinking fishy.
Qiuyang was in distress, and several other people reacted extremely quickly.
Leng Huo stepped on the snow, holding a broken giant shield in one hand and dragging a big sword in the other, and flew away, with an astonishing momentum. Tiedun flat raised his spear and axe, and ran hard in the snow, killing the spider.
However, the first to hurt the Blood Spider were the two ranged shooters.
Mogen woke up the moment Autumn Sun was attacked, and immediately crouched down to aim. The steel crossbow shot a short steel bolt with a sharp whistling sound that went straight into the blood spider's eye. However, the blood spider was not a brainless beast, and with a sly flick of its head, it got out of the way.
The heavy crossbow is a rare weapon, and this long-range weapon fires extremely slowly, slow enough to cause an acute shooter to vomit blood to death. However, the low rate of fire comes with a lot of lethality. At close range, the Heavy Crossbow's bolts are enough to pierce three layers of iron armor.
Therefore, although this blood spider was a third-order monster, the black mist on the surface of its body had a certain protective ability, but the short arrow instantly penetrated the black mist, and then penetrated the black hard shell. But with these two layers of blocking, the short arrow made of steel only caused a small amount of damage, and did not seriously damage the blood spider.
Ziyan also responded quickly, firing his bow and arrows. As the race with the highest talent for bows and arrows on the continent, the purple smoke of the Lingyin clan shot three arrows in a row, and each arrow hit the target. The damage was even more slighter, shattering the carapace slightly, and the arrow fell straight to the ground.
Ziyan can have this kind of performance, or because her strong bow and long arrows are all military products of the Lingyin clan, otherwise, I am afraid that even this result will not be completed.
That's where the ranged class comes in.
Basically, the defense of monsters above the third order is extremely strong, and it is by no means something that ordinary bows and arrows can kill. Of course, once the ranged troops advance to the Dou Qi and become Sword Sect-level masters, then the spring of the ranged troops will come. They can then attach their fighting energy to the arrows and shoot them with chilling lethality.
However, just as everything in the world has its own balance. The breakthrough of the shooter is far more difficult than that of the swordsman, at least Ziyan did not break through.
