S. Here's today's update. By the way, I'll pull a ticket for the Qiqi 515 Fan Festival. Everyone has 8 tickets, and the voting will also send Qiqi coins. I beg everyone for your support and appreciation!
Roland rubbed his eyes, what is this? If the mutation of the evil beast is still within the scope of biology and can barely be understood, the monster in front of him is obviously as absurd as in a horror movie.
From a distance, it looked like a giant tortoise with two heads, but when I got closer, I realized that it was actually two wolf heads.
Is this a Frankenstein experiment? Roland thought that the giant evil beast was almost as high as the city wall, with a body length of about six meters and six legs. It was shaped like a rhinoceros leg and was short and thick. But a bare foot is about the size of an adult's torso. And the head... The two wolf heads are not like the common two-headed monsters in movies, either they take turns to roar, or they bite each other, showing the strength of not accepting the other. They just drooped low, their eyes were blank, and they moved slowly like walking corpses.
The most striking thing is probably the carapace behind the evil beast. The gray-brown surface is dull and covered with algae, and it looks extremely hard just by looking at it. Like a turtle shell, it covers from head to tail. If this monster can shrink into the shell like a turtle, it will be really difficult to kill.
But Roland wasn't worried. An evil beast that moved so slowly was destined to be a target. Even if the gun couldn't penetrate the carapace, it was always possible to blast the exposed wolf's head. If it's indented in the shell, just blast it upside down with dynamite.
"Your Highness, this is a mixed species," Iron Axe leaned over nervously, "I probably understand why there are different kinds of evil beasts moving in groups. They should have been driven by this mixed species."
Like the lion driving the sheep? Roland nodded, "This is very different from the one you met last time."
"It's the first time I've seen this type of hybrid. Although it looks awkward, don't be careless. As long as it's a hybrid, I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with."
"It's almost in range," Roland said. "Try it with a bow and arrow first."
At this time, there was light snow in the sky, and at the same time, the northwest wind was blowing, which was not suitable for archery. But the two hunters picked out by Iron Axe looked confident.
They boarded the watchtower, identified the instantaneous wind direction, and threw arrows into the air.
The two sharp arrows seemed to have grown eyes. After reaching the highest point, under the influence of wind and gravity, they landed on the target carapace at an almost vertical angle.
Just as expected, the arrow bounced directly, and Roland even sounded a ricochet sound in his mind.
The two of them were in no hurry, and continued to draw arrows and strings, and soon shot two waves in a row.
The last round of salvos was effective, and the impact range was all in front of the monster. One of the sharp arrows landed on the wolf's head accurately, and the other was inserted into the target's neck.
However, the opponent did not roar angrily or speed up the sprint, it just paused for a moment, then retracted its head and feet into the shell, and continued to advance slowly.
This change surprised everyone.
The demonic beast looked like a tank with a lowered site at the moment, with the lower edge of the carapace almost touching the ground, so even the best shooter couldn't shoot an arrow into its body.
"Fire the gun," Roland ordered.
Now the target is only fifty feet away from the city wall, and even an unrifled flintlock gun doesn't have to worry about missing a shot.
Carter, Iron Axe and others immediately approached the retaining wall, placed the barrel horizontally on the wall, aimed and shot.
A puff of white smoke drifted past, and Roland could clearly see the debris splashed by the bullet on the carapace, and a small piece of the shell cracked open. The hybrid was unaffected and maintained its original speed.
It seems that the strength of this layer of armor still belongs to the category of carbon-based creatures. He thought, unfortunately, the lead shot is too soft and easily deformed, so it is really not suitable for penetrating thick armor. It may not be realistic to rely on these four guns to break the carapace of the mixed species, only the explosive packs are used.
Iron Axe's judgment was the same as that of the prince. He immediately called out the deputy of the spear team and ordered him to carry the explosives. At this time, the evil beast was already on the city wall. After feeling that it could no longer move forward, its carapace trembled rapidly, hitting the wall repeatedly with extremely high frequency like an electric hammer, and suddenly the stone chips splashed, and several cracks quickly spread along the cement bond.
The rubble wall has strong compressive ability, but extremely poor tensile and shear resistance, that is to say, the resistance to vibration is almost zero. Everyone standing on the city wall felt a strong vibration, and soon, a harsh rubbing sound reached everyone's ears, and the mixed-species carapace had cut a gap in the wall.
The impact still didn't stop, and it started moving again, embedding the entire front end of its body into the city wall.
The militiamen fled the cracked wall, while Roland was picked up by the invisible Nightingale and jumped off the wall. If anyone was staring at the prince at this time, they would find his feet hanging in the air when he landed, like a ghost. .
When Fanner arrived carefully carrying a pack of explosives, he was surprised to find that a nearly nine-foot-wide opening had been knocked out in the middle of the city wall. The evil beast that had crossed the city wall stopped shaking and kept moving forward slowly at the previous speed. .
"Come on!" shouted the iron axe. "Light it up and put it at the feet of this beast!"
Although Vanner's hands were trembling, his mind was unexpectedly awake, and every detail of operating the explosive pack during the training came to mind one by one. Different from the test product, the official product has a reduced charge and is packaged by a wooden board, and the waste ore fragments are filled between the medicine bag and the wooden board. At the same time, the ignition design is optimized, and the pull-out ignition of flint and copper wire is adopted. If it fails, there is still a lead for normal ignition at the end of the cartridge. He hurriedly tore open the oil-impregnated cloth wrapped on the outermost side, buckled the exposed copper wire elbow, used all his strength, and pulled it violently. There was a rapid sizzling sound from the wooden box, and then smoke came out - That's a sign of a successful ignition.
This salt-soaked lead burns slowly and takes about ten breaths. Fanner saw bursts of white smoke coming out of the box, and the surrounding world seemed to be quiet. He has seen the power of this thing. If it explodes in his hand, he is afraid that he will not even have a corpse left.
Nine breaths.
Fanner just listened to his beating heartbeat, counted the countdown silently, walked to the evil beast step by step, and placed the explosive pack on its path.
Five breaths.
And then it just pressed on like that, and nothing could stop it going.
Three breaths.
Vanner turned and ran.
Second interest.
One breath—
Only a muffled sound was heard, and Fanner felt a shock under his feet, and the world became noisy again.
He turned his head to see white air rushing out from under the carapace—the snow that had been brought up by the explosion of the dynamite, and at first glance it looked like a cloud of scattered mist. The evil beast finally stopped moving forward, as if it could no longer bear the weight it was carrying, the huge armor slammed to the ground. Then black blood rushed out from the underside of the carapace, soaking the surrounding ground.
"Oh oh oh!"
There was a burst of cheers from the crowd.
Fanner sat on the ground with a butt, and only then did he realize that his cold sweat had soaked through his clothes.
it is finally over.
When everyone thought so, the high-pitched hum of the horn resounded across the border again.
Another wave of evil beasts emerged from the horizon and rushed towards this border town.
[515 is coming soon, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and by May 15th, the red envelope rain can give back to readers and publicity works. A piece is also love, it must be better!]
