Chapter 221 Hunting, an easy crush!
Hundreds of ferocious beasts charged madly towards them, like a flood bursting its banks, trying to engulf everything.
Many of the Dragon City warriors had already started sweating.
After all... in terms of direct combat strength alone, they are completely no match for these ferocious beasts!
However, everyone maintained their formation and remained on high alert.
"The two sides are still 500 meters apart!"
"300 meters to go!"
"Two hundred and fifty meters! Everyone, prepare to nock your arrows and draw your bows!"
In the team, Chenlong was calculating the distance between the two sides bit by bit.
When the ferocious beast rushed into their 200-meter firing range.
Immediately order everyone to nock arrows and draw their bows...
then.
"Fire arrows!"
"Fire arrows!"
"Fire arrows!"
As the three orders were issued in succession, the three teams began to fire their arrows.
Suddenly...
Hundreds of arrows rained down like raindrops, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound as they were fired wildly.
These ferocious beasts, having inhaled too much black energy, are incredibly frenzied, yet still retain their innate animal instincts.
At this moment, seeing the rain of arrows coming from all directions, they instinctively wanted to take cover.
However, the crossbows in Dragon City are all Tier 3-4 quasi-divine weapons, which are impossible for them to dodge.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
In just a moment, nearly a third of the hundreds of powerful ferocious beasts were hit.
You have to understand... the battlefield is in complete chaos right now, and most people are firing blindly!
Moreover... the two sides are still more than 100 meters apart.
But... the soldiers only realized this after using the pangolin as a target.
These ferocious beasts are significantly slower than pangolins.
When the ferocious beasts continue to approach and reach a range of 100 meters, the hit rate becomes as high as 50%!
The ferocious beasts are physically strong, and even if they are hit by arrows, they are difficult to kill because of the healing black energy.
However... the little herbalist's poison took effect immediately.
Pfft!Pfft!Pfft!
A series of heavy thuds echoed as objects crashed to the ground.
Any ferocious beast that was hit by an arrow would collapse to the ground before it could run ten meters.
The remaining fourth and fifth tier ferocious beasts were in no better shape.
"Awooo!" At this moment, a sixth-tier ferocious beast from the rear of the pack roared and charged over.
Originally, the remaining dozens of ferocious beasts were somewhat afraid and wanted to escape.
But now, with a sixth-tier ferocious beast in charge, the remaining ferocious beasts charged forward again in a frenzy.
Upon seeing this, Chenlong and the others all changed their expressions.
This sixth-tier ferocious beast is a giant lizard that is thirty to forty meters long.
Its body was covered with sharp, jet-black scales, and its aura was extremely terrifying.
With such a size and such defense, even their quasi-divine weapons probably couldn't harm the opponent.
If this monster is allowed to charge into the crowd, they will surely suffer heavy losses.
"Let the three of us handle this sixth-tier giant lizard!" The three women, Sixi, June, and Seven Kill, had been watching the battlefield closely but didn't rush to make a move, after all, they were already novice archers.
Their target was that sixth-tier ferocious beast.
"Prepare!"
As the captain, Si Xi gave the order, and the three of them immediately took out arrows and nocked their bows.
Wait until the sixth-tier ferocious beast gets within two hundred meters.
"Fire arrows!"
As Sixi gave the order.
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Three sounds of breaking through the air were heard.
next second.
The sixth-tier giant lizard was instantly struck by arrows, two in the abdomen and one in the head, blood gushing out incessantly.
Its massive body, charging wildly, stumbled.
It was like a truck that had lost its steering wheel, starting to roll and spin wildly.
"Get out of the way!" Chenlong shouted.
The hundreds of warriors immediately retreated more than ten steps to avoid the giant lizard.
Until a few breaths later.
The monitor lizard stopped twitching a few times and then remained still.
"You're going to die now?"
The soldiers were still somewhat shaken by what they saw.
Such a terrifying sixth-order behemoth was easily shot down.
However, when everyone got closer to take a look...
It was soon discovered that the powerful kinetic energy generated by the divine arrow had pierced through the giant lizard's abdomen and head.
Three large, bowl-sized holes were left on his body.
Green smoke was still rising from the monitor lizard's wound.
Clearly, not only were the arrows incredibly powerful, but the poison was also terrifying.
After dealing with the sixth-tier ferocious beast, the remaining fourth and fifth-tier ferocious beasts were also completely wiped out.
"Well done!" Xiao Yu praised with a smile.
It wasn't just praising the archery skills of the four joys and three women, but also Xiaocao's poison.
When Xiaocao was studying poisons, she had already studied two kinds.
One type is for those below the sixth rank; this type can be mass-produced and supplied to Chenlong and others.
Another type is a super poison that can drive someone insane or even intoxicated.
This is extracted from the potent venom of seventh-tier ivy and sixth-tier lightning sable.
Extremely rare and precious!
Only those with four joys and three women are qualified to use it.
And what killed this giant lizard was this deadly poison!
After dealing with this wave of ferocious beasts, the group went on another hunt in the surrounding area.
The three beast-eared girls were always the ones leading the way, while Chenlong and the others were responsible for clearing out the miscellaneous enemies.
When they encounter fifth or sixth-tier ferocious beasts, Chu Ling Shuang, Hong Lian Xing Lan, and the three beast-eared girls will take action.
After trying out the Tier 5 crossbow, the three women found it incredibly satisfying.
Especially Chu Ling Shuang, whose awakened talent destined her to only be able to fight in close combat.
She was powerless against someone with ranged attack capabilities.
But now... armed with a Tier 5 crossbow, she has made up for her biggest weakness.
"Hahaha... This hunt was so much fun!" A warrior laughed excitedly after killing a second-tier ferocious beast with a single crossbow bolt.
“Yes! It’s just that we don’t have the chance to hone our combat skills up close.” The other person shook his head and laughed.
In the past, when the warriors hunted, they would kill dozens of ferocious beasts, and those were all low-level beasts.
But this time, they were facing an enemy force that was roughly the same size in number but far stronger...
But the result was... their side completely crushed the enemy, and not a single person was injured or killed!
Those ferocious beasts that others considered incredibly powerful were utterly helpless against their powerful crossbows!
"Lord City Lord, these are the energy stones we obtained from today's hunt!" A moment later, the hunt ended, and Chenlong excitedly handed a large pile of freshly cleaned energy stones to Xiao Yu.
"Hmm, that's more than double what it was before, not bad!"
Xiao Yu counted them briefly and felt a slight joy in his heart.
Because the Earth Dragon Turtle consumes tens of thousands of energy points every day, while other pets consume several thousand.
Therefore, Chenlong and the others were sent out hunting every day to earn energy stones, almost without fail, rain or shine.
In the past, however, earning tens of thousands each time was already considered quite good.
But this time, it was two or three times more than before, with an income exceeding 30,000 energy stones!
This shows that with the crossbow, the overall strength of the Dragon City Army increased two to three times!
"Once we get back to the City Lord's Mansion, I'll calculate the merit points for each of you! Those who perform well will receive a reward!" Xiao Yu nodded in satisfaction and encouraged you with a smile.
This was a good haul; we obtained quite a few top-quality forging materials.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord!"
