Chapter 258: Beast Tide (2)

This move moved the half-breed old hunter, who, according to his usual habits, inadvertently put everyone on the path of the beast tide, and the aristocratic boy not only did not blame him, but could think of pushing him up first, which was the first time in the more than sixty years of old Porter's life.

He also had a hunting knife in his hand, and slashed down a red-faced ape that had swooped down from a tree, and now the mountains were full of these primates more than a meter tall and covered with purple-red hair.

At this time, Philip sent one of the medical officers with him to the army, turned his head and gave the order: "Duke lead the men up, let go of all the mounts, Natalie, come to my side." ”

The sensitive unicorns had already snorted restlessly, and the beast dragons were even more provoked by the roar of their own kind and began to break free from the reins.

If you don't let go of them, I'm afraid there will be a riot.

As for those baggage, he couldn't take care of it at this time, but fortunately, he arrived at the camp of Murphy and the others, and even if he didn't find them in time, he could exchange with other camps, which was one of the reasons why he kept Old Potter in the first place.

Duke hesitated, but quickly reacted that they were a burden to Philip at this point, which made the boy feel a little guilty.

Except for a few mounts from Paul and the others, the remaining beast dragons and unicorns immediately followed the herd and disappeared.

When the young cadets had all reached the mountain, Philip shouted, "Paul bows and arrows to cover, and Chand begins to evacuate." ”

As soon as his words fell, he saw a cold light swish knock a cat out of the air, fell to the ground and kicked his legs a few times before he moved.

It was Duke, and in just a few minutes, he had already shot out of two quivers, and no less than 20 beasts had died under his arrows, which could be said to be a no-brainer, which amazed Paul and others.

But the good luck ended here, before Chande began to retreat, there was a deafening sound on the two boulders in front of him, and a huge gap was pushed open from the middle, and the surging beast tide suddenly pounced on Chande and the others from this gap.

The battle line of Qian De and the others was knocked back a full five meters, and the originally neat defense line was torn into three war groups of different sizes.

Not all of his men were Awakened, a warrior with a giant shield was knocked to the ground by the fierce horns of the beast dragon, and the heavy hooves of the beast stepped on his arm, causing him to let out a violent scream.

Philip rode on Natalie's body, avoiding the front of the beast dragon, slashing past it, and with a single lift of the broadsword, he removed a beast's leg.

Rare-level weapons were so sharp that even the hard bones left only a smooth section.

Before the beast dragon could feel the pain, it lost its balance and fell to the ground, not only did it not press the warrior, but also used its huge body to block the figure of the beast behind it.

Paul flew down, scooped up the wounded man, and climbed up again.

The armor of the arm is somewhat deformed, it should only be a compressive fracture, and timely treatment should still have the possibility of recovery.

At this time, up and down the mountain, the figures of humans and beasts have been mixed together, and the situation under the mountain is even worse in comparison.

Because the mountains are mostly agile animals such as black panthers, cats, and red-faced apes, they are more alert in themselves, and most of them will vigilantly avoid humans, and their minions are not too threatening for hard armor.

And under the mountain are more stupid and irascible honey dolphins and beast dragons, stubbornly entangled with Chander and others.

With a scream, another samurai was impaled through the lower abdomen by a hard horn, where the armor was much lighter, and this man was unlucky.

Philip shouted, and Natalie rushed over, straightening up, and the hooves of the horse subway smashed on the beast dragon's head with the sound of billowing wind.

The beast dragon's bulky body took a few steps back, and he fell to the ground with a twist.

Philip bent down to pick up the samurai's body and threw it upwards, only to be caught by Julian and the others above.

After experiencing the initial panic at this time, Qian De and the others had stabilized their positions and gradually gathered together.

"Chop the beast's legs and back away. Philip gave the order and tugged at the reins, directing Natalie to avoid a panicked dolphin.

Chand and the others faithfully carried out the order, although the armor on their bodies was stained with blood and dents, but the good quality of the military products still allowed them to keep themselves safe in this melee, only one samurai lost his badly deformed shield and stepped back to protect the flanks of his companions.

Philip's tactics worked, the two of them formed a small formation, one raised a shield to protect, and the other specifically slashed at the beast's legs, retreating backwards while chopping, and cooperated tacitly.

Along the way, dozens of beasts fell to the ground, and the huge body that was wounded but not dead blocked the route of the charge of the companions behind them in the struggle.

"You go up first, I'll cover you. Paul flew down again, stood beside Philip, and said to him.

Philip didn't ramble, just nodded and whispered a few words in Natalie's ear.

I saw that the white unicorn only took two steps back slightly, and then accelerated up the slope on the side of the mountain forest.

Philip clamped the horse's belly, lifted his hips and bowed, and flew into the air as the curve of Natalie's body changed.

The thick hooves of the beast stomped on a jutting rock, and with this force, they came to the top of the mountain in only two clicks.

"Chand, retreat. He commanded, taking the bow and arrow from one of the warriors and shooting into the darkness.

At this time, the entire camp was filled with a tide of beasts, and the fire had been completely extinguished, and only the light of the stars and moon could provide a small amount of light.

Fortunately, his madness can enhance the vision of both eyes, and even such a faint light can still make the sharp arrow in his hand the protagonist of the killing.

For a heavy beast like the Beast Earth Dragon, the injury of one or two arrows would not have a fatal effect at all, even if he was an Awakened One, otherwise he would not have been positioned by the Imperial Military Department as a heavy mount.

So he aimed at the legs and eyes of the beast, and the samurai who had temporarily controlled the situation on the mountain ridge also bent their bows and arrows to save their companions.

It wasn't until Chand, who was dragged at the end, was dragged by Paul onto the land of the small hill that he almost fell to the ground.

In just ten minutes, all the pressure was concentrated on him, and at this time, the shield in his hand was already pitted, and it was seriously deformed in several places, and it was only one step away from being scrapped.

At the foot of the mountain, the honey dolphin and the beast earth dragon lost their goal and could not climb the steep mountain, so they had to let out an unwilling roar and continue to run forward.

In the darkness in the distance, the dull sound of beast hooves has begun to become light, and it can be seen that the beast tide is about to end.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and finally got through it.

Philip secretly reviewed that the previous command was still a little immature, and it seemed that no matter how good the results in writing in the academy were, it was just on paper, and actual combat was the only way to test the level.

But at that moment, he felt Natalie's body begin to tremble, as if she was afraid of something, and she snorted uneasily as she snorted as she snorted in place.

With a low, deep howl, a huge figure swayed in front of them in the darkness.

What's even more terrifying is that the height of this figure's head alone is a few points higher than the hill they are on.

Bears!

Philip chuckled in his heart, he didn't expect that the beast tide would end up with this kind of thing, one of the real kings in this mountain.

"All the non-awakened retreated, retreating above the forest.

The Power Awakener raises its shield to meet the enemy, and the Speed Awakened and the Archer respond with their wings, aiming for its face.

Duke took care to protect the wounded. ”

His reaction was very fast, in front of this kind of invulnerable beast, not to mention the unawakened, even ordinary awakened people could not take advantage of anything.

In the faint light of the moon, the bear beast walked with heavy steps to the small hill, sniffing with fist-sized nostrils toward the place where they were hiding.

The fangs of the two bowls, which were nearly a meter thick, rolled out, and the saliva at the corners of their mouths brought bursts of strong fishy smell.

Not a single tree stood in the path behind the bear beast, crushed by its massive body and trampled into broken branches.

Philip, including Paul and Chand, all clenched their weapons and watched its every move, but no one fled.

If you think it's stupid and bulky because of its size, that's the biggest joke.

Apparently clunky only because of its size, the beast is actually much more agile than expected, and can make short sprints through the jungle at extremely high speeds, crushing everything in its path into powder.

And because of its penchant for rubbing and rolling on pine and gravel, the pine resin mixed with sand and gravel formed a carapace of excellent hardness and toughness on its fur, and ordinary swords could not do any harm at all.

Everyone hoped that the giant bear would be in a hurry to make a detour from the open area of the riverbank, but unfortunately, it spotted the uninvited guests in the mountains and quickly attacked.

I saw that the bear beast opened its bloody mouth and roared, and the terrifying sound wave made the trees on the small mountain ridge fall and sway, making Duke and the others above feel as if their hearts were grabbed by a big hand, and their chests were stuffy and breathless.

The huge body of the bear beast stood up, and its two front paws slammed towards the small hill.

The sheer strength and weight caused an earthquake to struck the place, the earth was rolled up, the trees were staggered, and more than a dozen deep cracks crisscrossed in the direction of the crowd, and the small mountain made of stones and dirt collapsed by nearly a quarter in an instant.

Among Philip's group were Paul, a third-level awakener, four second-level awakeners, including Chand, and ten first-level awakeners.

Chand raised his shield against the flying rocks and branches.

Long before the bear beast could attack, Philip and Paul crept around to the side of the hill, and when the bear beast let out its first roar, Philip quickly shot his bow and arrow, straight into its fragile eyes.

He was joined by three other men, three bows and arrows and a javelin sharpened from a twig that flew towards its face in the blink of an eye.

The bear beast only lowered its head slightly, and two bows and arrows were blocked, one was bounced off and the other hung on it, obviously not enough to penetrate the sandstone armor more than three inches thick.

The two-meter-long javelin was a little less accurate, but it had a huge momentum, and it struck the bear beast's head and flew a large piece of armor.

The real merit was the arrow that Philip had fired, the shaft of which swirled in the air and buzzed, grazing its nose into its eyes before it could bow its head.

The fragile eyes were not protected by armor, and the shaft of the arrow, which was more than a meter long, pierced into it for half a meter in length, and until it stopped, the tail of the arrow was still trembling slightly.

The bear beast suddenly let out an earth-shattering howl, as if it was scratching on the glass with its sharp claws, which made people feel very uncomfortable to hear.

The pain made the bear beast even more angry and irritable, and its front paws were just a sweep, and the three of them hugged the thick trees before they were snapped by the waist.

The warrior to Chand's right slowed down, the steel shield in his hand creaked unpleasantly and was folded into a V-shape, and he himself flew backwards until he was stopped by a large tree and smashed to the ground.

Fortunately, there was a strong wall in the awakened ability of this samurai, and he staggered and crawled up, but the armor on his chest was half torn open, and suddenly it hung on his chest, and blood gushed out.

"Skin trauma, can't die. The man only replied in a hoarse voice, and continued to return to the battlefield with his broadsword in hand.

The other samurai learned their lesson and became nimble, fighting around the bear beast.

Even if the amplitude is dozens of times, I am afraid that it is not enough to compete with such a giant beast, and it is impossible for a fool to compete with it to see who is more resistant to beating.

They are still in teams of two, one main attack, one defensive, and the tacit cooperation between the groups, whenever the bear beast pounces in one direction, the other direction will speed up the pace of the attack and attract its attention.

Typical of pulling monsters, but unfortunately there are no ranged mages here, and there are no powerful bed crossbows.

After paying the price of two more people being sent flying, he gradually stabilized the situation and became entangled with the bear beast.

Philip's last two arrows didn't work again, and the bear beast was very careful to protect the only remaining eye, and the steel arrows were only hanging on its armor, even if they pierced the flesh underneath, they would not cause much damage.

"I'm riding Natalie, fast enough to lure it there, and you take the opportunity to strike at her other eye. Philip pointed to a huge rock not far away and said to Paul.

When it comes to the speed of his hands, Paul is the number one in the group, and he is the only one who has the opportunity to get close to the bear beast and still get out of the way.

"Be careful, and focus on protecting yourself. Paul just gave him a word of advice, and then walked away.

"Chand, cut down a big tree, over there. Philip gave another word to Chand, patted Natalie on the neck, and ran towards the boulder.

It was a huge rock, washed away by the rain for I don't know how many years, the surface was smooth and looked hard, and he was satisfied.

The steel arrows were taken out of the quiver and tied tightly together in three of them, and in a matter of moments they were made into six thicker arrows, which were less penetrating, but they were enough to pull hatred.

Glancing in the direction of the bear beast again, the heavy night made it blurry over there, and only the roar of the giant beast and the huge body moving from side to side could be heard, and the small mountain they were originally on had collapsed in half.

Philip put the two standard bows of the third level together, turned the frenzy to the maximum amplitude, pulled the bowstring to the full moon, and let go of his fingers when he aimed at the beast's head, and the thick arrow flew with a sharp whistling and plunged headlong into its neck.

The bear beast felt terrible, as the king of this mountain forest, it had not been so embarrassed for many years.

Some of these dwarf reptiles are as agile as those panthers, and they can't catch them at all.

Some of them are like those stupid beast dragons, thick and powerful, but the armor on their bodies is very hard, and they usually attack with just a bump that will break their muscles and bones, and until now they have not really killed a single person.

The sandstone armor on its front legs and shoulders had fallen off a bit, revealing flesh in many places, and the pain of blindness made it even more irritated and angry, and it wanted to tear everything apart.

Suddenly, there was an explosion in its ears, and it felt like something was biting its neck.

The pain was so severe that it wanted to pull out the arrow, but its claws weren't as nimble as a human arm, and it couldn't reach there.

In a fit of rage, it took one of the samurai in that direction as the culprit, ignoring the harassment of the others, and lunged at the man in desperation.

This person was none other than Chand's deputy, Adams, who was also a second-level awakened warrior, and since Chand's temporary departure from the line, as the strongest melee strength, he was at the forefront.

However, due to the continuous attrition, he rushed too far forward, completely unaware that he had become the target of the bear beast's revenge, and he did not have time to dodge.

The steel shield only fended off the first wave of claw blows before it completely deformed, and after rolling on the ground a few times, before he could recover from his vertigo and tinnitus, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, which was grabbed by another giant claw and stuffed into his mouth.

Adams frantically waved his hands and feet, trying to get rid of it, but no matter how much he lifted his hard claws, he could not move, only let out a howl of terror and watched himself fly into the bloody mouth.

In addition to the fangs more than a meter long, there were countless feet of sharp teeth, and his head was less than half a meter away from the bloodshot sharp teeth when he was close, and the smell of the fish was so strong that he forgot to scream.

At this moment, he thought of the wife at home, the title that he had paid countless sweats for, the beautiful purple maple tree in the yard of his home, and the tragic situation of being torn and chewed by these sharp teeth like a tin can.

Just then, Philip shot a second arrow at the bear.

The sharp alloy arrows tore through the skin of the bear beast's nose and burrowed into it, and Adams felt a deafening scream in his ears, and he was doused with blood and fell to the ground.

He lay there stunned for three seconds, biting his tongue before finally confirming that he was not dead, and then was pulled up by his companion.

Thankful that he had survived, he took off his helmet, the hole in his mask already covered with sticky blood and snot, and only then did he see who had saved him.
