Chapter 18: A Bomb Worth 70 Points
Time passes slowly in a tug-of-war between the villagers and the snow monsters.
Lu Xiao raised his bow and shot the last water arrow, reinforcing the first rejection of the horse again.
Then, the blue bow and arrow in Lu Xiao's hand disappeared.
The arrows in Wang Gang and Zhuang Yu's hands had long since run out, and the arrows stored in the Snow Village had also been depleted.
Now that everyone has lost the means of long-range attack, they can only quietly watch the snow monsters slowly move away from the horses.
"Pear, do you have any other means?" Lu Xiao looked back at the pear behind him.
Pear nodded, her face calm. "We'll have to wait."
After a while, the snow monsters had broken through two rejections and began to rush towards the bottom of the cliff.
"Action!" At the pear's command, the guards pushed up a number of round rolling stones and thick, long rolling logs from behind.
Lu Xiao and the others stepped forward to remove the stones at the entrance of the cave, and the guards pushed the boulder down from behind.
The boulder falls from the cliff to the slope, throwing a handful of snow on the ground, and then rolling down, killing many snow monsters along the way.
The boulder rolled far away, carrying several crushed corpses of snow monsters.
Another boulder was pushed down, crushing many snow monsters.
But the snow monsters didn't seem to be afraid of this emotion, and kept rushing forward regardless of the dead and wounded.
The reserves of the boulders in the snow village were also limited and were quickly depleted.
The guards standing in the first row lifted the log in unison, crossed the stone platform and threw it down.
The rolling log rolled down the slope, sweeping down a large snow monster at once, and clearing the slope almost instantly.
An angry roar came from behind the snow monsters.
When all the snow monsters heard this sound, their eyes turned red and their speed increased.
Ignoring the deaths of countless of their kind ahead of them, they pounded the defenses of the Snow Village with their lives.
After they hit the gentle slope, another log flew down and swept them away.
"Why are they so desperate to attack Snow Village?" Lu Xiao looked at the snow monsters rushing madly under the entrance of the cave, and his expression was very solemn.
"It must have something to do with that incident twenty years ago." Pear stepped forward and shook Lu Xiao's hand.
Lu Xiao knew that Pear was also nervous, which could be seen from her palms that were slightly wet with sweat.
"What happened twenty years ago?"
"Twenty years ago, the snow monsters became more and more threatening to the snow village, and they continued to harass the snow village, so the previous priest walked out of the snow village and swept the snow fields around the snow village, killing all the snow monsters." The pear looked into the distance.
He is also said to have killed the Snow King's heir, but this has not been confirmed. Since then, the previous priest has not been seen again, and he must have died in the depths of the snowfield. ”
"What is the Snow King? Is that the one howling behind the snow monsters right now? Lu Xiao was a little puzzled.
"It's not." Pear shook her head.
"The Snow King doesn't howl, he doesn't have a mouth."
Lu Xiao frowned: "Then what is this Snow King, why hasn't it appeared yet?" ”
"I don't know, I've never seen the Snow King."
"But I've seen some relevant information from books, and the Snow King seems to look a little strange." As she spoke, Riko's expression became a little strange.
"What's wrong?" Lu Xiao asked with concern.
"It's fine." Pear waved his hand.
"By the way, what about your father? Why didn't he come? ”
"He was repairing the formation of the Snow Village today, and there was no way to get out, so these snow monsters took this opportunity to suddenly attack."
"We must hold on until he completes the formation of the Snow Village, he knows a lot of spells, and he will definitely be able to repel the snow monsters." Riko looked at the battlefield below, her eyes full of determination.
"What about you? Do you know how to spell? Don't you choose the next priest? Lu Xiao tightly wrapped Lizi's hand tightly with his big hand, which was a little rough because of training.
"I'll only use simple small spells such as the heating formation and the windproof formation, and it's okay to tinker with the various formations in the Snow Village, but it's useless to use it against the enemy."
"I can't even learn those big spells that my dad knows." Zi Luo lowered his head, as if he was sad that he was not good at learning.
"Even so, haven't you become the most powerful person in the village besides your father?" Lu Xiao smiled and comforted.
"Don't beat yourself, you've done enough." Lu Xiao reached out and rubbed the pear's black hair.
"With me with you, don't worry."
Pear looked up and regained her spirits, her eyes shining.
Lu Xiao returned his gaze to the battlefield.
Pressed by the rolling logs, the snow monsters were swept down every time they hit the gentle slopes.
Just as the next log flew down, a snow monster jumped over the top of the log.
His companions were swept down behind him, and only the snow monster was left on the gentle slope.
The snow monster rushed to the bottom of the cliff and began to climb upwards, and just as it was about to climb to the entrance of the cave, a spear stabbed down from above, piercing the snow monster directly.
Lu Xiao withdrew his spear and stood quietly on the stone platform, watching the body of the snow monster fall from the cliff, roll twice on the gentle slope, and wring off his head.
The snow monsters gathered again and rushed up the gentle slope.
The guards of the village in the snow still lifted the log and threw it out.
But this time, the rolling logs didn't have the desired effect.
The snow monsters jumped high when they encountered the rolling logs, dodging the sweep of the rolling logs.
Only a few stupid snow monsters failed to dodge.
Seeing that the rolling logs could no longer work on the snow monsters, the guards at the entrance of the cave became solemn.
Armed with spears in hand, they stood at the entrance of the cave with serious expressions, staring at the outside of the cave with full vigilance.
The snow monsters got closer and started to climb the cliffs.
Eventually, the flocks of snow monsters climbed to the top of the cliff and engaged the guards of the Snow Village in close combat.
The guards stood at the entrance of the cave and stabbed the snow monsters as they climbed upwards with their spears.
The side of the Snow Village has a terrain advantage, and the guards are condescending enough to poke the snow monster's head with their spears and throw the snow monster down.
But even so, the situation is not encouraging.
After all, the number of guards is limited, and the constant stabbing with a spear is also a great drain on physical strength.
On the other hand, the snow monsters have a huge advantage in numbers, and the entire surrounding snow field is full of snow monsters. And they were not afraid of death at all, and they stepped on the corpses of their companions in waves and charged forward.
Soon, the first attrition occurred on the Snow Village side.
A guard's spear got stuck in the snow monster's bones, and the whole person was taken out by the falling snow monster and drowned in the snow monster tide.
A gap had just appeared in the ranks of the guards at the entrance of the cave, and another guard immediately filled in the gap.
"What are we going to do? Once the snow monster's corpses have filled the bottom of the cliff, they can easily climb to the mouth of the cave. Zhuang Yu looked at the corpses of the snow monsters piled up under the cliff, and his expression was anxious.
"Looks like I'm just going to have to take that thing out and use it." A black ball suddenly appeared in Violet's hand.
She stroked the ball with her little hands, like a child of her own.
The thought of using up the prop at the bottom of the box later, Zi Luo felt a pain in his face.
"What is this?" Lu Xiao asked on the side.
"It's a bomb, a bomb worth 70 points! A bomb that can only be used once! I was very determined when I bought this bomb in Peace Town. Zi Luo was holding the black bomb, looking reluctant to let go.
"It's so expensive!" Lu Xiao was secretly speechless.
"Forget it, life matters!" Shiro pressed a button on the bomb and threw it out of the hole.
The bomb landed in the group of snow monsters below the slope and did not react.
The snow monsters still shouted and ran forward.
"What's going on?" Shiro's face was incredulous. "Won't this bomb work?!"
After waiting for a few more moments, the bomb still did not explode.
"70 o'clock! It's useless! Ziluo's voice trembled a little.
No way? Lu Xiao was a little speechless, could this Heping Town still sell fakes?
Everyone didn't react to the bomb for a long time, so they had to continue to guard the entrance of the cave, condescending to block the attack of the snow monster.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the distance!
The bomb exploded!
