In order to survive, the humans in the Black Forest tried every means. They built their homes amidst the misery of the blue wisp of the road, and opened up wilderness in hard work.
Even a shack with air leakage on all sides, a simple settlement in a swamp, is always better than the sky and the ground.
Also in order to survive, human beings use their wisdom to the extreme. Everyone in the Black Forest has a pair of skillful hands. Making and repairing weapons is an essential skill.
In the forest, it is difficult for humans to fight close to the monsters with sharp teeth. At this time, a lightweight crossbow can greatly enhance the safety of adventures. It blocks enemies and threats at a certain distance, allowing them to advance and attack, and retreat and defend.
The light crossbow that Zhou Qingfeng bought was worth the price. The crossbow arm used the best century-old catalpa wood in the forest. The cold weather made this wood very tough. The bowstring is not beef tendon or cane, but the parasitic spider silk that the "shadow" mentioned before.
Thousands of spider silks are twisted into thin bundles with excellent strength and elasticity. It is not afraid of water, dampness, or dryness. It is trustworthy almost at all times. If it is enchanted, it can also grant magical damage to the arrow.
Zhou Qingfeng used such a light crossbow to give a silt monster a critical blow. A crossbow shot accurately into the monster's open mouth, penetrated the back of the head, and revealed a sharp arrow.
But...
'Shadow' shouted: "Run, kid."
The life force of the silt monster is extremely tenacious, and it will not die if it is shot in the head. The silt monster hit by the crossbow bolt directly cracked and bite, and the half of the tail that was exposed was snapped off, and it continued to leap forward nonchalantly.
Damn it!
Zhou Qingfeng gave a strange cry, and quickly backed away. Although his strength is a little bit weak, his escape speed is quite fast, as if he was smearing his feet.
The three ordinary silt monsters looked unscathed, and rushed over again. They were covered in mud and water, their four flippers stomped on the ground cracklingly, twisting their bodies and moving forward quickly.
Zhou Qingfeng cursed in his heart as he ran, "'Shadow', what's going on? The monster can't be killed, the poison doesn't work, and the headshot is still alive and kicking."
"Shadow" said contemptuously: "This kind of reptile has a small brain and a tough skin. The crossbow that you shoot misses the point, so naturally it can't kill it. But the paralytic poison on the arrow has already worked, and it will take some time. ."
Zhou Qingfeng ran more than ten meters and then looked back. Among the three silt monsters, the one shot by the crossbow was indeed dragged behind. After a while after chasing, it became staggered, crooked, and obviously unable to keep up.
The remaining two silt monsters chased the slow-legged dwarf. Seeing that Old Borg was about to be killed by a monster, his hand glowed with magical light, and a scroll of'Greasy Technique' was activated, laying a large smear of greasy oil.
The two silt monsters rushed extremely fast and stepped directly into the oil stains. They immediately skidded and collided with each other, their speed was greatly reduced, and they stopped in front of the old dwarf.
But the greasy technique can only stop it for a while, and it won't take long for the two sludge monsters to get out of the oil stains. The old dwarf ran away again, yelling: "Shoot again! Victor, shoot again! The paralysis poison works quickly, so hurry up and shoot again."
Zhou Qingfeng turned around to look at Todd who was fighting.
The leader of the silt monster is much more powerful, regardless of strength, speed, and even cunning degree than the other three. Its skin is natural armor, smooth and tough.
Todd's axe hit his opponent several times, and he was already dismissed for a normal target. But there were only a few wounds left on the body of the silt monster leader, and there was no way to cause a fatal blow.
On the contrary, Todd was already in danger during the short battle. His axe was completely unable to deal with the flexible tongue of the sludge monster leader—the tongue was two or three meters long and the tongue was sharp, like a spear with armor-piercing ability.
Todd had been hit by this'tongue spear' several times, and it was completely resisted by the thick leather armor on his body. But the limbs that can't be protected by the cowhide armor are troublesome. For example, he got a punch on his thigh and was pierced on the spot, bloody.
The wounded orcs were even more frenzied, with their axes and blades dancing like windmills. The leader of the silt monster kept backing away cunningly, making it clear that he wanted to drag Todd to bleed to death.
In this case, Zhou Qingfeng quickly pulled the lever on the light crossbow, pulling the crossbow arm back tight. A crossbow bolt with paralytic poison is inserted into the groove of the receiver.
"Todd, step back!" Zhou Qingfeng shouted.
The orc was already a little out of breath, and the fierce fighting greatly consumed his physical strength. He screamed arrogantly, but his two thighs were already involuntarily stiff-something like a silt monster must have toxins on its tongue spear.
Although the toxin of the sludge monster is not as good as the'paralysis poison', it still brings huge trouble to the orcs.
Hearing Zhou Qingfeng's shout, Todd stopped and breathed a sigh of relief. He also didn't expect the leader of the sludge monster to be so difficult, powerful, fast, and defensive, completely suppressing him.
The leader of the silt monster was originally at a distance from Todra, but when Zhou Qingfeng came up, it immediately twisted the ugly eyeless head, cracked its big mouth and let out a demonstration-like neigh. Then...
This monster realized Zhou Qingfeng's danger, and even swiftly exerted its strength and rushed forward. It is extremely fast, its huge body rushes to Zhou Qingfeng surrounded by the sound of wind, with a big mouth, the'tongue spear' shoots out like a ballista, making a popping sound of vibrating air.
When the'tongue spear' was about to penetrate Zhou Qingfeng's chest, a blue barking current suddenly appeared between the two. The'lightning technique' scroll seized from the goblin warlock was activated, and an electric light with thick arms suddenly lit up...
The shore of the swamp turned into night in an instant, and there was only dazzling lightning in everyone's eyes, and thunder rang in their ears, shocking. Many people were running away in a panic, their eyes blackened by the thunder, and they fell to the ground. Some people even went blind under bright light and ran around.
Zhou Qingfeng didn't expect the scene of this'lightning technique' to be so big. After the arcane was triggered, his ears buzzed, his eyes turned white, and he stayed in place without moving. Suddenly, it feels like someone is picking up and dragging him back more than ten meters.
After a few seconds, Zhou Qingfeng regained some binocular vision and regained a clear view of the battlefield environment. It was Todd who dragged him away, and the orc dropped his axe to save him.
'Lightning' has a quick effect, and is extremely effective when used to immediately block the enemy.
After the leader of the silt monster was electrified, the'tongue spear' shrank, but the huge body slammed into it without stopping. If Todd hadn't moved fast, Zhou Qingfeng would be thrown down by the monster, and most of his head would be gnawed away.
In such a flash, Todd was at the end of the battle. His axe is gone, and one thigh is full of black blood, unable to move. This stubborn and brave orc can only say to Zhou Qingfeng: "Victor, it's up to you."
The leader of the silt monster on the opposite side was also scorched by the electric skin, and the originally slippery body surface was cracked everywhere, revealing the scarlet flesh and blood inside. Most of its forelegs and fins are vaporized by electricity, and its mobility is also greatly reduced.
But this monster is not dead, but even more crazy. It opened its mouth wide and let out a harsh neigh, and desperately rushed forward, trying to kill Zhou Qingfeng as the last threat.
"Why does this monster always like to open such a big mouth?" Zhou Qingfeng raised his crossbow, aimed at the horrible and ugly mouth, and shot it in.
Crossbow arrow headshot again...
