Chapter Forty-Six: The Firehorned Rhinoceros
After some understanding, Huang Cong knew that the Blood Wolf and his mercenary group had taken on a special mission this time, which was to go to the Northern Wilderness Mountain Range to hunt for twenty six-armed snow apes, and the most precious thing about the six-armed snow ape was the bundle of white hair on its forehead, which was a valuable medicine guide for alchemists.
After some deliberation, the blood wolf insisted on Huang Cong as the deputy head of the regiment, because since the last battle, he deeply understood the explosive power hidden in the body of the not burly young man in front of him.
The other members of the group did not have too many objections, the order of the regiment commander was absolutely obedient, after all, they were all brothers who were born and died with the blood wolf, they still believed in the vision of the blood wolf, Huang Cong also explained his intention, did not hide his identity, the blood wolf smiled: "You Long is willing to dive, it's okay, when you leave, we will send each other off!"
The Northern Wilderness Mountain Range is located in the Jianzhou and Huozhou, the reason why it is called the Northern Wilderness is only because it is very desolate here, except for the dry and dry yellow land, there are almost few other species, and the six-armed snow ape is a noble species among all apes, and disdains other species to live together, so in addition to their figures can be seen in the Northern Wilderness, it is difficult to see their traces in other places, except for the bundle of hair on its forehead that can be used as a medicine guide, and a snow-white fur is also very rare.
Huang Cong was looking forward to it in his heart, and he wanted to see what the other part of this continent was like, and everyone rode a special fiery horse, shuttling quickly towards the destination.
Beautiful scenery, colorful journey, a few days later, everyone arrived at a prairie, Huang Cong gradually forgot his goal this time, and regarded this kind of travel life as a kind of enjoyment.
Along the way, although everyone slept in the open, but occasionally they would catch one or two large prey to have a full meal, and gradually Huang Cong integrated into everyone's life, riding a horse and galloping to drink and sing, which became a joy in his life, as if all the troubles disappeared with the wind.
And when the Infinite Sword Sect was still engaged in a tense competition, Huang Cong and the others had already crossed the grassland and came to a forest, and when they arrived here, everyone had to dismount and walk, because as the blood wolf of the regiment leader, he used his rich experience to feel that there was a powerful aura hidden in the forest, and it was best not to alarm the existence of this threat.
One of them said: "Commander, I'll go to the front to explore the way," at this time, Huang Cong took the initiative to go by himself, because he felt the abnormality here even more through his mental power, even if something really happened, he was confident that he would have the means to save his life.
The person before looked at the blood wolf's eyes, and the blood wolf said, "Let's let Brother Huang go, I believe he can handle it." ”
After speaking, Huang Cong smiled and nodded at the blood wolf and the person who volunteered to go, not because he was intentionally reckless, but because in the past few days, Tong Guò had already regarded these people as his brothers, and he didn't want them to take this risk.
Huang Cong's cat moved step by step, in front of him was a dense tree, the line of sight that could be seen was not very far, under the cover of some low shrubs, the further he went, he felt that there was a terrible existence, and none of those common small animals were seen at this time.
After reaching a distance again, a huge figure appeared not far away, and he clearly saw a rhinoceros, a rhinoceros with a horn on its forehead, its whole body was red, like a burning flame, and the five fiery horses it rode could match its size, and this terrifying and oppressive aura emanated from it.
Huang Cong took advantage of its inattention, quickly returned the same way, arrived in front of the blood wolf, and told what he had just seen, the blood wolf screamed badly, and said: "It seems that we have encountered a fire-horned rhinoceros, this kind of demonic beast is particularly short-tempered, and a single horn on the forehead can break steel and gravel, which is particularly hard and cannot be broken through." ”
Seeing this, everyone drew their weapons and waited for them.
Huang Cong said: "Can you take a detour?"
The blood wolf shook his head and said: "After this forest is the junction of the Northern Wilderness, there is no road, according to what you said, his fur is like a flame, it should belong to a mutant variety in the rhinoceros, the third-order demonic beast, which is equivalent to the level of a human general, the demonic beast is not easy to cultivate, and the real strength is probably not something that our people can deal with." ”
One of them sighed, "It looks like we'll have to wait for it to go out and forage for food, and then sneak over." ”
At this moment, a fiery horse next to him suddenly roared, perhaps feeling this frightened atmosphere, and ran uneasily.
Everyone lost their minds for a while, and the blood wolf shouted, "Knock all the horses unconscious, so as not to lure the demonic beasts over." ”
Everyone moved one after another, and slapped their hands on the horses' heads, and suddenly all the horses fell to the ground, but it was still too late, and the whole forest seemed to tremble, and a terrifying aura came to this side.
The blood wolf shouted: "Prepare for battle!"
Everyone set up a formation, and at this time, the first thing that appeared in front of everyone was a fiery red single horn, and then the entire huge body of the fiery horned rhinoceros appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone exclaimed, because the fire-horned rhinoceros had begun to attack, and everyone still had a certain amount of confidence, but when the fire-horned rhinoceros ran closer and closer, everyone finally felt its horror, if it was hit by the single horn on its forehead, it was estimated that the whole body would be pierced.
The blood wolf shouted: "Don't panic, everyone set up a formation and attack in a different position." ”
These people in the mercenary group are some veterans who have passed the test of life and death, and they instantly calmed down and looked for a favorable terrain.
As the fire-horned rhinoceros got closer and closer, the blood wolf directly held the big knife in his hand and slashed forward, while those who had not yet reached the level of a military general and could not release their vitality were exposed to shoot forward one after another with the magic darts in their hands.
Seeing this, the fire-horned rhinoceros did not dodge, but continued to run towards everyone, when the blood wolf's knife qi and everyone's magic darts reached the fire-horned rhinoceros, it just shook its head, and the single horn on its forehead not only shattered the knife qi, but those magic darts fell to the ground one after another.
"This firehorned rhinoceros has become a sperm, and it actually has its own consciousness, everyone be careful!"
At this moment, the fire-horned rhinoceros seemed to recognize the blood wolf as the strongest among the people, and directly hit him, the blood wolf knew that he did not dare to resist, and without the slightest hesitation, he rolled on the ground to avoid it, and a row of big trees behind him directly broke his waist, and sawdust flew all over the sky.
The firehorned rhinoceros has always been known for its short temper, and once again slammed into the blood wolf, and at this time, the other mercenaries kept firing their bows and arrows, giving their regimental commander a chance to breathe.
Countless bows and arrows fell on the fire-horned rhinoceros, and they didn't play a big role, but only slightly affected its movements, and for the iron-blooded mercenary group, there was not much financial resources to buy a lot of bows and arrows blessed with magic, and these were ordinary bows and arrows, so naturally there was no harm.
The continuous rain of arrows hitting the firehorned rhinoceros not only did not have any effect, but only angered him even more, and his fiery red skin looked more powerful in the sunlight, and his feet accelerated and rushed towards everyone.
At this moment, the closest member of the group seemed to be targeted by the fire-horned rhinoceros, obviously his skills were not very profound, and he was about to be hit by surprise, just when everyone was shouting to be careful, Huang Cong made a move, he had been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a chance for the fire-horned rhinoceros to be unguarded.
With the help of the 'one step away' exercise, he quickly arrived at the front, and without any hesitation, a punch wrapped in huge power hit the single horn of the fire horn rhinoceros, and in an instant, something unexpected happened, because the fire horn of the fire horn lost its balance, and the whole body rolled out at once.
At this time, the blood wolf's big knife had already attacked, and it accurately cut a huge hole in its back, and the blood flowed down the fiery red fur of the firehorned rhinoceros itself, and the firehorned rhinoceros looked a little painful, and rolled out on the ground again.
The sudden change made everyone exclaim, and the cooperation between the blood wolf and Huang Cong was also extremely tacit.
At this time, everyone's bows and arrows were shot towards the wound on the back of the fire-horned rhinoceros, obviously it was hit hard just now, and its movements were not very flexible, and it couldn't aim its hard parts at everyone's bows and arrows, and in a blink of an eye, it was dripping with blood.
Seeing this, the blood wolf laughed and said: "Save the bow and arrow, and then we can slowly consume its body, the single horn of this fire-horned rhinoceros is also a treasure, with it, we can chase a few six-armed snow apes less." ”
Everyone's bows and arrows have stopped, the fire-horned rhinoceros looked at everyone angrily, the wound on its back is still bleeding, although it is known for its short temper, but it has long been psychic, knowing that it will not be able to benefit next, and glanced at Huang Cong viciously, ready to turn around and flee.
Huang Cong shouted: "Attack its single horn, although his single horn is powerful, but it is also its weak point, attacking from the side." ”
Everyone has formed an encirclement, although the fire-horned rhinoceros is injured, but its strength is undeniable, everyone did not relax their vigilance, Huang Cong and the blood wolf looked at each other, the blood wolf raised a big knife and slashed towards the body of the fire-horned rhinoceros, the fire-horned rhinoceros turned its head to block the cold knife qi with its single horn, and at this time, Huang Cong's domineering punch also attacked from the side.
This time, he used the cold and ice qi in his body, and his entire fist was wrapped in a faint cold light, and a punch landed on the horn, and the firehorned rhinoceros lost its balance because of the horn, and flew out upside down again.
Huang Cong rubbed his fists and sighed: "This corner is really a treasure, my invincible ice qi can't be broken under a full blow." ”
At the moment when the firehorned rhinoceros fell to the ground, the other mercenaries all threw their weapons at its body, and suddenly many new wounds were added to its body.
At this moment, the fire-horned rhinoceros roared and stood up again, a large flame erupted from its mouth, and in a hurry, several mercenaries had their hair burned, and some of their skin was burned, screaming, under the flames, everyone hurriedly retreated.
The fire-horned rhinoceros roared again and spewed flames at the two strongest ones, the blood wolf rolled directly on the ground and a donkey rolled out of range, and Huang Cong shook with the help of the afterimage of 'one step away', and instantly reached five zhang away, and also broke away from the encirclement of this flame, and said with an astringent smile: "This fire-horned rhinoceros can really spit fire!"
At this time, some of the lightly injured members of the group once again stabilized their figures, and the blood wolf shouted: "Cast the net!"
A huge iron net covered the fire-horned rhinoceros, and its flames could not melt the barbed wire in a short time, and with the cooperation of everyone, it was wrapped like a rice dumpling after a while, but everyone did not dare to approach.
After struggling for a while, the firehorned rhinoceros stopped moving as if its body was exhausted, and the cheers of the crowd rang out.
Just when everyone relaxed their vigilance, a single horn on the forehead of the fire-horned rhinoceros instantly crossed the iron net, and a huge hole appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
