The Death List Novel - Chapter 404
Chapter 404 Encirclement And Slaughter
The Dou Qi wings behind Kelly flapped and turned in the air, stopping on the roof of a stone house in the plaza. As soon as she stopped, the female martial artist staggered. Her heroic face was covered in beads of sweat. The battle qi wings behind her were faintly visible, and there were traces of disintegration.
This battle with the Earth Tyrannosaurus had only lasted for a few minutes, but it had been extremely difficult for her. When she tried to persuade Stark to leave, she still hadn’t said a word. Behemoths with excellent speed and defense like this were not only MT’s nemesis, they also had great restraint towards any physical melee profession.
“Bang!” The huge silver light from the passageway sensed a sudden change in the surroundings and stopped at the center of the Dwarf Square.
Although this giant beast resided in the Iron Star Fort, the Earth Tyrannosaurus with the Azure Dragon bloodline also had the common characteristics of dragon-like creatures. They were lazy. Apart from the hall filled with treasures and the network of tunnels that usually went into and out of the mountains to search for food, they did not often go to other areas of Iron Star Fort.
Compared to the image of the giant beast coiling around the stone beam, the giant beast that came to the plaza gave everyone a horrifying look.
A giant Earth Triton that resembled a Chinese dragon, with three pairs of phoenix claws on both sides of its body. Its claws were like hooks, and there were mucous webbing between them. It stood on the ground with only two pairs of hind legs, its chest raised, its slender neck raised high, its slightly degraded forelimbs retracted in front of its chest, and its spiked tail swaying leisurely behind it.
Together with its beautiful silver scales and sharp teeth stained with dwarf blood, everyone had to admit that this majestic silver beast with a look of contempt displayed a cruel and elegant aesthetic of violence.
Compared to Kelly’s sorry state, this Earth Tyrannosaurus was no longer as calm as before. The silver scales all over his body had been sunken and damaged, and traces of green blood oozed out from beneath. The fists of high-grade martial artists weren’t that easy to endure. Although these minor injuries weren’t enough to cause serious injuries to them, they had at least given everyone a target to attack.
“Attack!” With Robin’s clear shout, everyone recovered from the shock brought by the giant beast and used the skills they had prepared to attack the Earth Tyrannosaurus.
At that moment, the Dwarf Square surged with wind and clouds. The apostles tore open the magic scrolls in their hands one after another. All sorts of colorful magic practically engulfed the area where the giant beast was located.
The apostles were powerful not only because of their inherent professional skills, but also because of their varied equipment. Amongst the two groups of apostles, even First Grade apostles had quite a few magic scrolls and items in their hands.
The apostles were experienced in battle and knew that this Earth Tyrant Beast was extremely fast. If the battle lasted for too long, it might cause casualties to the team. This was a result that no one wanted to see. The moment the Earth Tyrannosaurus exited the tunnel, before it could observe its surroundings, it would be the best opportunity to deal a serious injury to the Earth Tyrannosaurus.
“Ao!” Amidst the multicolored magical fluctuations, the furious roars of the Earth Tyrant Beast could be heard. Immediately after, a silver light flashed in the field, and the giant beast broke out of the encirclement with a strong wind, causing most of the magic to be emptied.
“Humph!” A few cold snorts came from the buildings around the plaza. A few slender black shadows shot towards the Earth Tyrant Beast from all directions like floating lights. Although it was only five arrows, it seemed to form a heavenly net that tightly surrounded the giant beast, and it had the posture of shooting it to death.
These arrows came from four elven rangers and Milleras. They might not have as much combat experience as many apostles, but when it came to hunting, these plot elves had a better chance than the apostles.
In this battle, the Earth Tyrant Beast felt its life threatened for the first time, and its entire body trembled with silver scales. It roared and its long tail hung down. It slapped the ground like lightning. The rubble magically moved in midair, avoiding the five magical arrows that shone with intense elemental fluctuations.
“Opportunity!” Standing on the roof of the stone house, Kelly’s eyes lit up. Her figure flashed and she disappeared from sight. When it reappeared, it had already flashed above the head of the Earth Tyrant Beast. The female martial artist took a deep breath. Her originally very full chest was now swollen to the point of trembling, as if she was about to jump out of the white martial uniform.
The fists she put away at her waist lit up with a milky white light of Dou Qi. In the next moment, they turned into fist shadows that filled the sky, raining down on the Earth Tyrant’s dragon head. The Dou Qi enlarged Kelly’s small fist countless times, making every fist shadow look like a meteor the size of a washbasin.
‘”Woo ~” The Earth Tyrannosaurus Behemoth only had time to tilt its head to the side of the dragon’s head before withdrawing all of its fist shadows from the sky. It let out a sobbing sound that was like sobbing as it fell to the ground from mid-air. All the scales on the neck of its dragon head’s lower jaw were shattered into powder, revealing a wound the size of a bucket. Blood gushed out of the wound like a spring, quickly dying its upper body.
Kelly gasped for breath and used her strength to soar into the air, far away from the Earth Tyrant Beast. Unlike the suppressed cheers of the crowd around the square, the female martial artist’s eyes revealed a trace of disappointment as she quietly clasped her fists behind her back, which were still trembling.
The wound looked frightening, but Kelly knew it wasn’t enough to seriously injure the beast. This Earth Tyrant’s body was too large, and the silver scales on its surface had a very strong defense. Her fist power could not penetrate into its body. The only result was that everyone could gather fire at the wound.
Kelly was a little annoyed. This giant beast was clearly not a wild beast without intelligence, as Milleras had said. It was too alert. If it was the dragon head that was heavily hit just now, then Kelly had a 100% chance of causing it to have a severe concussion. Once it fell into a state of dizziness, its time to die would come.
…
“We’ve reached the critical point!” On the other side of the plaza, Qin Lun closed his eyes and leaned against the wall of a stone house. The eyelids covered his eyes, however, flickered slightly. Countless black-and-white lines interweaved in his retina to form the battle mirror image of the plaza.
The legendary World Tree longbow in his hand was mounted with a black iron arrow. The arrow’s body was engraved with circles of silver runes. It was the magical silver arrow that Edeline had tailored for him.
“Now!” Qin Lun suddenly opened his eyes, took a step to the right, and flashed out of his hiding place, drawing his bow and arrows.
The wooden ring on his left thumb made of the World Tree’s Tree Heart pressed against his cheek. The three needles in his right eye swiftly rotated. In his eyes, the giant beast that Kelly had knocked off the ground instantly slowed down tens of times, as if it had suddenly stopped in midair.
“Detect the surrounding combat environment and establish a single shooting model …”
“The combat environment is indoor, and the wind force is negligible. Relevant parameters are included in the shooting model …”
[Activate combat skills’ Weakness Predictor ‘,’ Wind Type Guiding Arrow ‘,’ Penetrating Arrow ‘, shooting point for target pupils …]
[The shooting point is concealed by the target’s body. The three-dimensional distortion is 31. The wind-guided arrow and the penetrating arrow are repelled. The arrow might be weakened …]
[Adjust the shooting model, remove the ‘Wind-type Guided Arrow’, add the ‘Spiral Shooting Technique’, eliminate skill rejection, and increase shooting power to the maximum theoretical value …]
Qin Lun’s left wrist twisted 360 degrees like a machine. The ulna and radius of his forearm creaked and the veins on the back of his hand were exposed. The bow string formed from the long tendons of the magical beast circled around the end of the arrow.
“Bang!” With the sound of the bowstring, a black spiral flash shot out from Qin Lun’s hiding place. However, it strangely disappeared halfway through the flight. Only an arc-shaped whirlwind suddenly appeared where the arrow swept past, and the thick dust on the ground soared into the sky.
“Ao!” The giant beast that fell to the ground suddenly bounced up as if it had been electrocuted and let out a miserable howl. Kelly, who had already rushed back to the roof, was surprised to discover that a long black arrow had been inserted into the Earth Tyrant Behemoth’s left eye at some unknown time.
The long arrow almost pierced through the giant beast’s eyes covered in white mucous membrane, leaving behind only a trembling tail. It was unknown if it had harmed the brain of the Earth Tyrant Beast.
The heavily injured Earth Tyrannosaurus finally went crazy. Its enormous body turned into a ray of silver light, rampaging through the plaza, smashing the surrounding stone houses into powder almost every time. Along with the fierce collision, the giant beast itself was severely injured. It rolled and howled in the ruins, unable to even stand steadily.
“Good opportunity!” Both the apostles and the plot elves’ eyes lit up. Apart from a few unlucky people who were affected by the impact of the giant beast, everyone used their strongest attack methods. From time to time, the body of the Earth Tyrant Beast would explode with balls of flesh and blood, and it would soon fall into a life and death situation.
Even the dwarves, who had been devoured by the beasts, ran out of their hiding places. The two dwarves, one old and one young, were the strongest. The huge double-edged battle axes in their hands were connected to a thick chain. Every time the flying axes intertwined, they would cut a bloody wound on the giant beast’s body.
These dwarves weren’t bad at martial arts, but the previous hall was too unfavorable to them, which was why they were treated as dessert by the giant beasts. Now that he had seized the opportunity, he immediately became the hardest working group in the plaza, which could be considered to have slightly calmed down the resentment of his companions who had been killed.
After a period of berserk rage, the Earth Tyrant Beast finally calmed down and began to feel the intense danger of death.
“Woo ~ ~ ~” After a particularly wronged sob, the formerly mighty and domineering Behemoth clasped its tail and charged towards the original passageway without any manliness, actually wanting to escape before the battle.
“Don’t you think it’s too late to escape now?” Philip, who was closest to the entrance of the passageway, had a bright light flashing in his eyes. A hideous expression appeared on his face, and he bit the tip of his tongue fiercely. He coughed out a mouthful of blood essence, his hands carrying afterimages, forming several magical marks skillfully.
With the formation of the hand seal, the blood essence he spat out turned into a small mysterious magic array on the ground.
“Stone Thorn Dungeon!” Philip slapped his right palm at the center of the magic array and turned into a silver light as he flew towards the Earth Triton. The ground beneath him suddenly bulged, and countless enormous rock spikes rose like stalagmites, turning into a thorny dungeon in all directions.
After using this spell, Philip’s energy was completely emptied, and he fell back to the ground with a pale face. He took out a bottle of recovery liquid with trembling hands and poured it into his mouth.
This time, the heavily injured Earth Tyrannosaurus was no longer able to dodge and was sent flying into the air by countless stone thorns. Although the hard scales on his body blocked the fatal damage, his escape route was also completely blocked.
The apostles, elves, and dwarves, on the other hand, were no longer in a hurry and slowly surrounded them from all directions.
