The troll's thoughts at this moment were very simple, he just wanted to take back the thing called "secret key".
Xu Xin's heart moved.
Perhaps, one can hear the function of this ancient bronze dagger from its inner voice!
This thought just flashed through his mind before he rejected it directly.
This big guy is now very hostile towards this side!
It even wants to destroy this place!
Therefore, he did not have the time to waste in listening to its voice. His main goal now was to drive it away or even kill it!
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!”
The explosions continued, mixed with the roars and howls of the trolls.
This wave of attack had an excellent effect. The troll was even forced to take a few steps back by the dozens of heavy crossbow shells!
Because it is now only more than 200 meters away from the tree house where Lou Feier and the others live. At this distance, the power of the heavy crossbow can be perfectly exerted!
"I'll go downstairs and find a few people to help load the heavy crossbow!" Li Wenxi turned around and ran downstairs.
The thick smoke cleared, revealing the troll's bloody arm. At the same time, the blood veins began to flow and flash like boiling blood!
"Roar!" It roared, completely furious!
It raised the mace in its hand, as if it was going to throw the entire giant mace directly over!
"Not good!" Xu Xin's face changed!
The mace is thrown at us, can the tree house withstand it
"Don't stop, keep firing!" he ordered immediately!
But there was no launch from Lou Feier's tree house.
"Loading! It'll be ready soon!" Lou Feier's voice also sounded a little anxious.
The direction the troll was looking at and wanted to attack was obviously Xu Xin's tree house!
If it was her tree house, she wouldn't be so panicked, but if it threw the mace at Xu Xin's tree house...!
However, the super-heavy crossbow can only be loaded with one round at a time and needs to be manually reloaded after firing.
"Where did Zeng Tao go? Didn't she reload from time to time?"
Xu Xin's hand was now hovering above the control panel, ready to launch the powerful weapon directly!
The Blood-Marked Troll's arms were already swinging, and the mace was about to fly out of his hand and hit his tree house!
Downstairs, there were countless people screaming!
"Hey, big idiot! Look down! Look down! Big idiot!"
Suddenly, from under the troll's feet came the sound of a girl's scolding!
Zeng Tao's voice?! Xu Xin's eyes jumped.
The troll seemed startled by the sudden sound. He stopped what he was doing and looked down.
I saw Zeng Tao holding a big knife, standing under it and looking up.
At this time, she looked disgusted: "I'm wearing only a leather apron, and it doesn't cover anything underneath. I'm going to get stye!"
The troll looked down at Zeng Tao, who was lying on the ground like a little ant. When he heard her words, he let out a strange sound. He was already a little impatient and immediately became furious!
It felt that it was provoked by a bug!
It immediately raised its foot and slammed down towards Zeng Tao's position!
"You're too slow, big fool!" Zeng Tao suddenly dodged to the side and easily avoided the kick. Then he swung the giant steel blade in his hand and slashed it hard at the troll's ankle!
In an instant, a deep scar was left on it, and then he quickly jumped away in two steps!
At this moment, two bright red blood lines had appeared on her face!
She's in explosive mode!
Zeng Tao's explosive state is speed enhancement, which allows her to have super strength while also having extremely agile speed, so she was able to dodge the giant's kick just now.
"She...how did she get there!" Li Wenxi exclaimed, covering her mouth.
She had just come up with Li Yajun, Le Youfang, Niu Fugui and other old acquaintances of Xu Xin when she saw this scene.
However, she was only surprised for a moment, and immediately ordered a few people: "You, go and load the super heavy crossbow!"
In the distance, the troll let out a cry of pain after being attacked, and then became even more angry!
In anger, it raised its feet and stepped on Zeng Tao repeatedly, but Zeng Tao dodged them one by one.
Zeng Tao even swung the giant blade every time, leaving deep wounds on its feet and ankles!
Of course, for her, the wound was indeed deep, but for the giant, it was just a flesh wound.
But for the troll, this is enough to make it go crazy!
The troll was like a person who was stepping on a fly. He couldn't step on it no matter what he did. He was scratched several times and even got furious!
"I can't cut through it!" Zeng Tao gritted his teeth while dodging the troll's trampling.
Even she was sweating profusely after such high-intensity exercise in such a hot environment.
The weapon in her hand was the purple-grade steel sword given to her by Xu Xin. It was extremely powerful!
But the behemoth's level is very high, and the defensive power of its skin and subcutaneous fat cannot be broken by ordinary attacks!
Of course, the trolls have a similar body structure to humans, which is basically equivalent to a magnified mutated human. Its green skin is not a defensive organ like shells and scales, so its defensive capabilities are still relatively weak.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been shot into it by the blue-level delayed explosive crossbow and blown all over.
If Zeng Tao were allowed to accumulate power and swing his sword in place, he could definitely cause even greater damage to the giant!
But at this moment, she had no chance to accumulate strength. She could only dodge while looking for opportunities to slash, so the power was really limited.
However, she attacked the same spot several times and finally cut into the troll's ankle, injuring his hamstring and causing it to stumble.
At this moment, her watch vibrated. It was Xu Xin calling. She raised her hand and answered it.
"roar!"
The troll could no longer bear it at this time. With a roar, it reached out and grabbed Zeng Tao!
Although my feet can't hit the target, my hands are much more flexible than my feet!
Zeng Tao was horrified and dodged with all her might, avoiding the first grab, but the second one followed immediately.
“Get out of the way!”
Xu Xin's voice came from the watch, and along with it came a dozen explosive heavy crossbows!
The troll also noticed the arrival of the heavy crossbow at the first moment, and immediately stopped paying attention to Zeng Tao. He roared and turned around to swing the giant mace!
But it's too late!
Its body had been directly hit by dozens of explosive heavy crossbows!
At the same time, Zeng Tao also rushed as far as possible!
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!”
Fire, blood, screams, and thick smoke!
"Keep running and stay away!" Xu Xin's hand was only a few millimeters away from the control panel!
That was actually a good opportunity to launch a powerful weapon!
However, this heavy crossbow, which consumed more than ten portions of purple-level resources, must be extremely powerful, and Zeng Tao, who was in that position, would definitely not be spared.
She has now entered the outbreak mode and has no second life!
So, he didn't launch it, but continued to wait for the opportunity!
Waiting for a better time!
Upon hearing this, Zeng Tao quickly moved aside!
However, she did not run towards the tree house, but ran to the side!
"Big guy, what you want is with me!" Zeng Tao ran while turning back and giving the troll a middle finger!
Although the troll couldn't see what this tiny girl was doing, just like a person wouldn't care about the posture of a bug's legs.
But the troll heard her shout.
The troll, who was now covered in wounds and in a rage, was stunned at first, and then, immediately let out a roar like a ghost and rushed towards Zeng Tao!
The heavy footsteps made the entire jungle tremble, and everyone in the tree house could feel it!
Zeng Tao was running frantically in the jungle, repeating to himself, "I can't catch up, I can't catch up, I can't catch up!"
The troll's speed was indeed much slower than hers.
Because the dense trees in the jungle blocked its movement!
Although these bare trees are only ten meters or even less in height, some of them are already higher than the troll's knees, greatly affecting its speed!
In addition, Zeng Tao had just injured the tendon of its hind ankle, and it had not had time to recover from its rage, so its movements were a little strange at this time. It could only watch itself getting farther and farther away from Zeng Tao's back.
It could no longer bear it, and once again let out a roar that shook the jungle. It swung its right arm and threw the mace in its hand directly towards Zeng Tao!
The giant mace was thrown out like an extended heavy truck, spinning in the air and smashing in the direction of Zeng Tao's escape!
"Now!"
Xu Xintong's heart shrank suddenly, and he immediately reached out to the control panel!
At the same time, the tree houses of Lou Feier, Jin Yue and Ma Hongwei all made machine sounds and shot out heavy crossbows!
And from the outer wall of Xu Xin's tree house, a very clear "click!" sound of a mechanism was heard!
Then, with the accompaniment of countless blue-level explosive heavy crossbows, the powerful weapon finally burst out from the heavy crossbow!
"Bang!"
Moreover, at the beginning of the launch, there was a short but extremely loud explosion!
Sonic boom!
Because supersonic speed directly produces a sonic boom!
The purple-level super-heavy crossbow actually increased the firing rate of this extremely heavy weapon to above the speed of sound!
Three hundred meters, in less than a second, he flew in front of the troll!
Although the troll who had lost his giant mace reacted, he had no means of resistance.
The powerful weapon hit the troll's chest directly, and the extremely strong thrust knocked it to the ground, where it slammed heavily!
then…
The flames exploded directly!
Even under the extremely strong sunlight in the afternoon, the explosion made everyone close their eyes at the first moment!
"boom!
!
!
”
The violent explosion not only made all the survivors present unable to open their eyes, but also caused them to temporarily lose their hearing.
When Xu Xin opened his eyes again, the light and shadow left by the extremely bright fire were still in his eyes.
At the same time, a small mushroom cloud was slowly rising in his eyes.
The explosion of a powerful weapon has a wide range.
The area within a radius of dozens of meters was razed to the ground, and all the trees were blown to pieces.
Trees further away were also knocked down by the violent wind waves caused by the explosion.
Fortunately, perhaps because the explosion was too violent, any signs of fire in the jungle were directly extinguished.
Suddenly, a huge shadow flew in the sky.
"Bang!
”
The shadow directly hit the side of the main tree house where Xu Xin was, causing the tree house to tremble violently, and also startling everyone in the tree house who were so shocked that they were stunned and speechless.
Then, the downstairs suddenly became extremely noisy and crazy.
"Fuck! Holy shit!"
“Is this true? Is this true? This, this, this… missiles can’t be that powerful, right?!”
"That big green monster was blown to death? It was blown to death!"
"Shit, the smoke is too thick to see clearly!"
"This is too strong! Brother Xin is too strong!"
"Hahaha, this is the heavy crossbow made by our Wei Ge! I also participated in the planning, hahahahaha!"
"You're not planning anything, it's better if you just serve tea and water!"
"What was that thing that just flew over here?"
"Oh my god! That's... That's..."
“It’s the arm of the troll just now!
!”
Xu Xin was not as excited as the people downstairs, but instead looked intently at the center of the explosion.
He also saw the black shadow just now, and it was indeed an arm of the troll.
In the center of the explosion in the distance, the smoke dissipated and on the ground lay the remains of the Blood-Marked Troll.
Then again, directly...
Pieces!
The explosion was too violent, and it occurred inside its body, so there was no way any of it could be left alive!
They succeeded!
Successfully killed a... giant beast!
A giant beast that they had never been able to fight against before!
"Success... Success!" Li Wenxi also cheered, hugged Xu Xin's arm, and jumped up, "You really killed a big guy! You really killed it!"
Xu Xin's frown slowly relaxed and the smile on the corners of his mouth widened.
And downstairs, there was also cheering!
"Dead, really dead!"
"If you didn't see it with your own eyes, who would believe it if you told others about it?"
"Too strong, too strong!"
"I couldn't even kill a mutant creature, but Brother Xin killed a troll that was dozens of meters tall!"
"Is this the strongest survivor?!"
"That little girl just now was so strong!"
"Who is that? He doesn't look like one of the elders of the Explorers!"
Before Xu Xin had time to breathe a sigh of relief, his eyes froze again.
"Zeng Tao!"
Zeng Tao's position was not too close to the troll, so she would not be affected by the explosion, but...
Before the explosion, the troll threw the giant mace over!
Did it hit her
He immediately made a voice request to Zeng Tao.
But, it never got through.
"Zeng Tao she..." Li Wenxi covered her mouth.
"Damn it!" Xu Xin immediately called Lou Feier, "Go see how Zeng Tao is doing!"
"I'm already outside!" Lou Fei'er was obviously running, her voice was also very urgent, "I'll be there soon!"
Lou Feier had already run to the giant mace, and Jin Yue also came with her to look for it.
Lou Feier stood beside the mace, but couldn't find anyone, and her expression changed again and again.
"No...press it down..."
She shook her head suddenly and started a voice call to Zeng Tao.
The call kept ringing, but no one answered.
But this did make her feel a little relieved.
At least the person is not dead, otherwise, the call would not be possible!
"Over here!" Jin Yue suddenly roared with the mace, and shouted from a few dozen meters away.
Lou Feier immediately bypassed the mace and ran over.
At this time, Zeng Tao's purple-grade steel armor was broken in half, and half of his body was covered in blood.
The exposed skin was flawless, without any wounds.
But there was an expression of pain on her little face, and her body was trembling slightly.
Jin Yue picked her up.
Very light.
As light as an ordinary little girl.
Jin Yue wiped the blood off her body, revealing the fair and flawless skin underneath, and she gently touched Zeng Tao's chest and stomach.
"The injury... is not light. But it is not fatal. She should have recovered a lot on her own. But her abilities should have been lost again like before. And... she entered a weak state prematurely." Jin Yue analyzed.
Lou Feier glanced behind her.
She must have barely avoided the frontal impact of the mace, but was still hit half of her body by the giant mace, flying more than ten meters horizontally, hitting a tree, and then she was seriously injured and unconscious.
There was no chance to even take the pill.
Fortunately, her ability allowed her to recover from the fatal injury. Although she did not recover completely, at least her life was saved.
The price is that the ability is lost again.
She once again became a weak little girl at the mercy of others.
"She is so reckless!" Lou Feier gave her a pill on the spot, and her injuries slowly recovered.
But he still didn't wake up.
Lou Feier immediately contacted Xu Xin and told him about Zeng Tao's current situation.
"At least you're not dead." Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
He had just finished a phone call with Ji Chaoyang. Because the other party's tree house was the closest to him, he could hear the loud explosions and bright flames from this side even from a distance of 20 kilometers.
He just told the other party that the matter had been resolved and there were some other things that he would explain to him later, and then hung up the call.
This time, it’s really all thanks to Zeng Tao.
Otherwise, the trolls would really throw maces at his tree house...
He felt that the tree house could not hold up.
This also reminded him that his current tree house had more offensive power than defensive power!
The electric fence around the tree house may be able to resist the herd of mutant creatures, but it is completely defenseless against the attacks of giant beasts, especially long-range attacks!
It seems that we need to work harder in this area.
"Okay, bring her to me. Oh, and one of you, go check out the troll corpse and bring back... um... all our loot."
Soon, Jin Yue carried Zeng Tao to Xu Xin's tree house.
And Lou Feier went to clean up the battlefield.
Xu Xin asked Ma Hongwei to deal with the battlefield as well, and he readily agreed.
Ma Hongwei also wanted to see what kind of materials this big guy could bring him!
"Don't decompose it on the spot." Xu Xin reminded the two, "I am increasing my luck today!"
Zeng Tao was placed on the sofa.
Lying on the soft sofa, she no longer looked painful, but showed an expression of comfort, and even hummed.
"Hmm..." Coco crawled to her side and was unconsciously held in her arms.
Coco didn't hide. He opened his bear mouth, yawned, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
This little guy doesn't seem excited at all about surviving a disaster.
"Today is really all thanks to Zeng Tao!" Li Wenxi squatted in front of the sofa and touched Zeng Tao's head. "If it weren't for her, something serious might have happened."
"Well, actually, she has always wanted a giant purple-grade steel blade of her special kind." Xu Xin stood aside and smiled with his arms crossed.
"Make it for her!" Li Wenxi stood up and said with great wealth, "It's just a few dozen purple-level materials! I... I can get it if I work hard!"
The more she spoke, the weaker her tone became.
It would be fine if she tried hard under normal circumstances, but with the current weather, it is basically impossible to mine saltpeter, let alone iron ore.
It will be so hot!
Moreover, the current stock of iron blocks cannot be consumed in such large quantities as it needs to be kept in reserve for emergencies.
For example, now that the explosive heavy crossbow and the big killer have been consumed, they must be replenished. This is a huge expense, both for saltpeter and metal.
"Then let's wait until after this hot summer and make it for her."
"Well, this is the only way." Li Wenxi said helplessly.
When will this horrible weather end
At this time, Lou Feier came back.
Xu Xin looked at the battlefield, which had basically been cleaned up.
"Well, it's time to see what our spoils are like this time!"
But, what a pity.
The troll was dead, but he didn't know the purpose of the "secret key".
What on earth is that thing used for
