Volume 2 The Beginning of the Legend Chapter 65 Hidden Tricks
Even though everything around it was lit up by the flames, it still couldn't do lethal damage to the monster.
Everyone could clearly see that the surface of this monster was constantly oozing black liquid under the scorching flames.
Whether this black liquid is the sweat or blood of the monster is unknown, but it also means that the monster is only photophobic, and in a desperate situation, it can still barely move in the firelight.
When the monster saw the crowd rushing to the top of the bell tower, it felt like it wanted to flee from the place as before, but when it looked back, it was already on the edge of the top of the tower.
Seeing that he had no way out, the monster gave up the idea of retreating, and then turned to face the people, making a piercing sound from his mouth, in a vain attempt to deter the humans in front of him, so that the group of people would retreat.
Russell didn't think about killing this monster with just a torch at first, and sure enough, as he expected, the monster was just afraid of the light, but now it seems that the monster has suffered a little bit of impact, so it can increase his own victory rate a little.
Russell looked at Buna beside him and suggested, "Now that the monster has been cornered by us, hurry up, it's our turn to attack!"
Buna nodded at Russell, then beckoned to the Guardian Knights and ordered, "The whole team is ready to fire flame arrows at this damn monster!"
After receiving the order from the chief of the Buna knights, the cathar knights in the rear immediately walked to the front of the line, lined up in a neat line, placed the arrows that lit the flames on their bows and arrows, and aimed at the monsters in front of them.
"Launch!"
At this moment, the bowstrings that had been taut before were released by the knights, and the "buzzing" sounds of countless bowstrings vibrating sounded one after another, and Russell, who was near the knights, could not hear other sounds at this moment, as if he had lost his sense of hearing, which showed the tremendous power of the arrows fired by these special bows and arrows.
The distance of more than ten meters is a position that can be reached almost instantly for an arrow flying at high speed, and Russell's eyes did not see the flame trail of the arrow in the air, and the arrow hit the monster in front of him.
Suddenly, the flames burst into the sky, and the light of the flames made everyone present instinctively close their eyes.
"Did we kill it?"
Buna muttered to himself a little nervously.
Only when the light of the fire gradually faded could everyone slowly see the situation in front of them.
When everyone saw the scene in front of them, almost no one dared to believe what they were seeing.
Seeing that this monster was surrounded by flames, at least a dozen arrows were deeply inserted into its tentacles, Russell's face instantly sank, although the monster's tentacles were also very troublesome, but they were not the key position of the monster.
In that case, the previously planned shot did not cause the damage they expected.
Because the Knights of the Cathar had poured oil on the arrows beforehand, the arrows would continue to burn after hitting the monsters.
However, the monster's body was not ignited by the scorching flames, but a black liquid continued to flow from its body, and under the cover of the black liquid, the raging flames were quickly extinguished at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Truth be told, almost all of the arrows fired by the cathar knights hit the monster's body, but the monster was very cunning, using its tentacles as a temporary shield to successfully defend against the rain of arrows that could have been deadly.
Seeing that this was not good, Buna hurriedly yelled, "Hurry up and reload your arrows and strike a fatal blow at this monster!"
The well-trained cathar knights showed the fruits of their usual training, and although many were still shocked by the monster's survival, all of them immediately took out their special arrows from their quivers after receiving the order, and wanted to launch the next round of attacks against the monsters.
But the monster didn't sit still like a normal beast after it had escaped the catastrophe, and its tentacles shook violently, and the arrow inserted into its body was thrown aside.
The monster let out a shrill cry, like the sound of two pieces of steel being forcibly squeezed together by a foreign object and rubbing together, which made the unsuspecting people faintly gause.
Some people with poor willpower even hugged their ears and fell to the ground in pain.
By the time everyone present had gradually eased up, the monster in front of them had disappeared!
Russell couldn't resist the shrill screams of the monsters, and like the others, when his hearing gradually returned to normal, he was surprised to find that the monster that was still in front of him had disappeared without a trace.
In the same way, the sky was full of fire, as if it had completely disappeared.
Something was wrong, not because the monster had disappeared, but because he suddenly couldn't see what was in front of him!
It was a very strange situation, Russell was not blind or delusional, but he could see his hands and body, and he could hear the frightened cries of the people around him.
Suddenly, from Russell's side came Bouna's shout,
"Russell, are you not seeing clearly with your eyes, and where is this disgusting monster?"
Russell looked back, but he didn't see Buna's figure, so he could only reply loudly: "Me too, quickly remind the knights to pay attention to the situation around them, and don't let this monster get close to us!"
"Okay, I'll notify my subordinates right away!"
As soon as the words fell, Russell heard Sarah's voice, although his tone revealed a hint of panic, he still forced his composure, and shouted to the panicked people beside him: "Don't be nervous, everyone, this is all a trick of the monster, pick up the weapons in your hands, and prepare to fight the monster!"
Buna also immediately informed the cathar knights beside him to pay attention to the surroundings, now that everyone has temporarily lost their ability to observe, they can only rely on their fighting instincts and normal hearing to probe the location of the monster, once this monster approaches the team, then the consequences will be unimaginable.
Sara complained, "I know what the clues my men are trying to leave us on the paper, this monster can deprive us of our sight by screaming, no wonder my men didn't finish what they wanted to report, it turns out they can't read the words on the paper!"
Russell replied loudly: "Now is not the time to draw conclusions, as long as you can go back alive, we can seriously discuss this matter, the most important thing now is to defend against the attack of monsters, and kill this monster here as much as possible!"
Then, Russell pulled out the heroic relics from his waist and listened vigilantly to the sounds around him, in this situation, no place is absolutely safe, everyone will face a life and death situation, only step by step, can deal with any possible approaching danger!
