231. Salamander 2
The villagers carried some wooden arrows with them, but as long as the arrows of the wooden arrows were cut off, the front shafts were cut thinner, and the shafts were inserted into the mounting holes behind the steel arrow clusters, even if a feathered arrow was changed.
However, this feather arrow is still not a standard arrow in the army, the balance of the feather arrow itself is actually very important, this feather arrow inlaid with a cluster of stainless steel arrows, basically will be heavy head and tail, the range is extremely limited, once shot away, this feather arrow will form a parabola, there is an obvious sense of falling in the air.
Many times, longbow shooters in the army preferred this type of arrow. Some of these arrows are too heavy, making them a great challenge for less powerful hunting bows.
It was also unlikely that a wooden arrow could be used to pierce the thick skin of the salamander, so Surdak suggested that Charley and Luke replace the steel arrows with wooden arrows, which might hurt the salamander as well.
Salamander belongs to a kind of fire type of second-level magic beast, itself has a very high resistance to fire magic, salamander leather is soft, is one of the best materials for early swordsmen, assassins and archers to make light leather armor, the magicians of the Green Empire respect fire magic, if the warrior has salamander leather armor, it is a very headache for many fire magicians, therefore, salamander skin is very popular in the magic market.
With everything ready, Surdak took the five young men of the village back the way they came, to find the salamander.
Originally, there were six young people, but when the old village chief and the other villagers left one after another, one of them changed his mind and decided to return to Vol Village with the old village chief.
Surdak and the five young men returned to the bottom of the rock wall, and found that the salamander was no longer in place, and they went around to find that the light yellow rock here had been eaten by the salamander, and the salamander dragged its bulky body away, and there were only some light yellow gravel left on the rock, which was filled with a very pungent smell.
It's just that there aren't many yellow-colored stones left, and Surdak feels that these stones are not ordinary rocks, so he picks up these yellow-colored broken stones and puts them in his pocket, and the rock mass here is badly damaged by the salamander, and the ground is a mess.
As the salamander departed, its thick tail left a deep furrow in a thick layer of volcanic ash, and Surdak led five young men to follow the trail, and finally found the salamander burning all over the mountainside of the 'pus' mountain.
With volcanic ash falling from the sky and scorching rocks with black smoke everywhere, the salamander, which had been a little clumsy, was much more agile here.
Surdak poured water from the bladder on himself to make himself feel clearer, and covered his mouth and nose with a linen cloth to prevent his lungs from inhaling a large amount of volcanic ash, and the salamander was crawling slowly towards the top of the mountain, and the five young men hid behind a rock, pulled their hunting bows, and placed arrows with clusters of steel arrows on them.
A series of arrows shot out, the salamander seemed to sense the danger, it turned around suddenly, facing the arrows that shot like a toad 'coo', its body rumbled towards the five young people, those arrows fell on the salamander's body, and they were bounced off by the hard skin on the salamander's body, and the flames wrapped in the salamander's body ignited the wooden poles on those arrows, and the arrows that flew to the ground began to burn violently, and instantly turned into only a three-edged steel arrow cluster.
Seeing the salamander rushing up, Charley shouted to the other young men, "Stand back!" ”
Behind the rocks, the five young men retreated alternately down the mountain, but the hunting bow in their hands never stopped, and the arrows shot out continuously, but they landed on the salamander like an itch, and could not hurt the salamander in the slightest.
Charlie urgently shouted to Surdak: "This big guy's skin is too thick for an iron arrow to penetrate, so let's get out quickly!" ”
Then he looked at Luke beside him, and saw the determined gaze in his eyes, so he shouted eagerly: "Luke and I are covering everyone behind, and we should be able to escape......"
"Let Me ......"
With his eyes fixed on the salamander, Surdak jumped out of the boulder and rushed to the salamander with a blue iris shield.
The salamander was not polite at all, seeing someone rushing up, the fat body swelled in a big circle, and the body was like an inflated ball, and then the pair of blood-red eyes stared at Surdak's body, and the body suddenly stopped in front of Surdak, its big mouth opened, and a fiery tongue of fire erupted from the salamander's mouth.
It happened that Surdak had an iris shield in his hand, and immediately blocked the flames spewed out by the salamander, those flames had a strong burning effect, and a stream of heat was transmitted along the shield to Surdak's arm, Surdak rolled around on the spot, quickly avoided the flames spewing from the salamander's mouth, drew the Roman sword from his waist, and stabbed a sword in the side of the salamander.
The salamander seemed to sense it and raised its front paws and slashed at the Surdak Roman sword, each of which had a foot-long blade on its finger bones, and the salamander's head was flung in this direction, and the flames that spewed out formed a fan-shaped splash surface in the air.
The Roman sword with a pale golden light touched the salamander's claws, and there were three consecutive sounds of gold and iron, and the claws of the fire system were very hard, and the Roman sword sparked three sparks, with the power of holy light, it did not cut off the claws of the salamander, but a huge force was transmitted from the claws, and Surdak was sent away.
Surdak took a dozen steps backwards in succession, until his back hit an uneven boulder, and his body retreated before being stopped.
I just feel a little fire in my back. It hurt spicy, but this blow allowed Surdak to avoid the fan-shaped flames.
The salamander continued to rush towards Surdak, and was met with another round of arrows, but the salamander closed its eyelids and let the arrows hit its body.
Surdak saw that the salamander closed its eyes on the way over, took a deep breath, and a phantom of a two-faced four-armed god and demon appeared behind him, only to feel that his strength had increased sharply, and even the holy light on the Roman sword had skyrocketed, Surdak rushed forward in great strides, taking advantage of the moment when the salamander closed its eyes, he rushed to it in three or two steps, raised the Roman sword high, and stabbed it in the forehead of the salamander.
At this time, the salamander had already opened its cold eyes, it seemed to sense the danger, and at the moment of opening its eyes, it shook its head violently, and Surdak stabbed a sword between its shoulder and neck, and the long sword broke through the hard skin of the salamander, and the blade pierced into it for almost half a foot.
The salamander felt the pain, and its body flipped over violently, rolling in a circle.
Surdak was glad that he drew his sword in time, otherwise the Roman sword was snatched away by the salamander, and after the salamander rolled around, it spewed a flame at Surdak, this time Surdak had experience, and after taking two steps back, he held his shield to block some of the jet flames, and sensitively hid on the side of the salamander, avoiding the flames, and left a wound on the salamander's front paws while the salamander's claws were not raised......
