Chapter 106 Tacit Understanding
Seeing the distance between the red-armored beast and Ancier quickly closing, Gordon let out a strange scream and hurriedly chased after him.
Archers with relatively light armor are very vulnerable when facing monsters at close range. It is the duty of fellow swordsmen to protect them and prevent monsters from approaching.
Gordon was really worried that Ancil would be injured under the attack of the red-armored beast. Thinking about it from his perspective, it was hard for him to imagine how a heavy crossbow user, who was carrying a heavy crossbow and had difficulty even walking, could avoid the high-speed rolling red-armored beast. The impact of the armored beast.
The distance between the two is less than thirty meters. At the speed of the red-armored beast, it is too late to fold and store the heavy crossbow and escape!
However, Ancil didn't look panicked at all. As a heavy crossbow user who hunts alone all year round, if he couldn't handle this small scene, he would have been killed by the monster long ago.
Using a technique that was so smooth that one could barely see the movements, he took out a larger magazine from the armed belt. After replacing the magazine and pulling the bolt to load the crossbow, the red-armored beast had already approached less than ten meters ahead. at.
Ancier decisively pulled the trigger. Smoke filled the muzzle of the ballista, and dozens of sparks exploded on the rolling red-armored beast. The speed of the red-armored beast dropped visibly to the naked eye.
He used lv3 shotguns, which are incredibly powerful at close range. Since the magazine was heavy and this exploration mission was not focused on combat, he only brought one magazine.
But this is enough.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Anhil pulled the trigger one after another, and large pieces of fine shrapnel shrouded the red-armored beast like a heavy rain. While it was constantly slowing down, Anhil was also slowly moving to one side.
When the red-armored beast came to him, the rolling speed had dropped to an acceptable level. Ancier easily avoided the rolling collision with a light side-sliding step.
Gordon, who was running wildly, also slowed down and breathed a sigh of relief.
He exchanged glances with Ancil, then pushed up again, blocking the red-armored beast that stopped rolling and spread its body back to a crawling posture, so that the former could adjust his position.
The attacks failed one after another, and the red-armored beast, which was wounded all over, shook its fat body and then lay down.
Having rushed to the red-armored beast, Gordon, who was about to draw his sword and kill him, immediately turned around and ran back.
No matter what kind of monster it is, whether it is familiar or unfamiliar, as long as you see it making some strange moves, you should immediately distance yourself - this is most likely the monster's preparation before carrying out some special attacks.
It turns out that this is indeed the case.
As the red-armored beast lay down, a large stream of earthy-colored stinky gas spurted out from the glands in its abdomen. Gordon, who had already moved several meters away, immediately held his breath and retreated further to avoid those diffused gas.
Even so, Gordon still felt a slight numbness in his limbs, which made him a little scared.
These yellow gases are obviously more than just a stench, they also contain paralyzing toxins!
The red-armored beast was obviously a little tired after spraying out the paralyzing odor, and thick saliva slowly dripped from the corners of its narrow mouth.
Since the paralyzing poisonous gas had not dissipated, Gordon did not dare to get close for the moment, but Ancil, who had already adjusted his shooting position, had no such concerns.
One crossbow bullet accurately and rhythmically penetrated the damaged part of the red-armored beast's carapace. The red-armored beast roared and tried to get close to the shooter to counterattack, but was always stopped by Gordon.
The giant scissors in Gordon's hand are also not simple. Deep slashing wounds appear one after another at the weak and broken parts of the red armored beast's carapace. The flowing blood takes away its physical strength every minute and second.
Ever since he discovered that Ancil's shooting was extremely accurate and missed bullets without accidentally injuring himself, Gordon no longer deliberately gave up the shooting position. Anyway, the former could always find a suitable shooting gap.
This kind of behavior in front of other shooters might cause them to curse, but Ancil raised the corner of his mouth.
The big sword used frontal suppression and pulled monsters, and the heavy crossbow used long-range shooting to severely damage the target. With the tacit cooperation between the two, which was not like their first cooperation, the red-armored beast became weaker and weaker.
The only thing that caused them any trouble was the red-armored beast's long tongue that was also covered in paralyzing toxin saliva.
This tongue was actually able to shoot out more than ten meters away, almost hitting Anhil who had no time to adjust his position.
Fortunately, Gordon reacted quickly enough. Before the long tongue could stick to Ancier's wrist armor, and before he could pull it back, he picked up his sword and cut off the red-armored beast's long tongue from the root, resolving this minor crisis. .
With a final feeble neigh, the red-armored beast fell in front of the two men.
Pork Chop scratched its ears in confusion. It felt like it hadn't even found a chance to take action. How could the battle be over?
"You do it or I do it? Let me tell you in advance, I am not very lucky." Gordon shook the knife to shake off the blood stained by the giant scissors and asked with a smile.
"You come, you come." Anhil's tone was obviously much more casual than before.
With a look of disgust on his face, he wiped the wrist armor stained with the red-armored beast's sticky saliva with a towel, while muttering in a low voice, "Whoever wants this guy's material will stink to death!"
Gordon shrugged. He didn't care about the smell of monster materials. Although he didn't plan to use the materials of the red-armored beasts to make equipment, it was always good to sell them for some money.
The carapace, claws, etc. of the red-armored beast can be sold for hundreds of gold.
After collecting the materials, Gordon walked towards Ancier and said with a smile: "Master, how much ammunition are left?"
Anhil didn’t pay attention to Gordon’s joking address. He threw the dirty handkerchief into the lava lake aside, glanced at the magazine on his armed belt, and said:
“All shotgun shells and armor-piercing grenades have been used up. There is also a magazine for penetrating shells and a magazine for paralyzing shells. There are usually a lot left after the shells have been knocked out, which is enough to fight another battle of the same intensity just now.”
“How can you bring all kinds of special ammunition, but only one magazine?” Gordon complained in confusion.
"For testing ballistics. In the high temperature environment of the volcano, the ballistics of various ammunition are somewhat different." Ancier did not deal with Gordon this time.
“Okay. Should we continue exploring and collecting, or should we just go back to the village?”
"It's up to you." Ancier put away the heavy ore crystallized nova, "Anyway, my main purpose is to get familiar with the terrain. If you feel that the ore is not mined enough, we can collect it for a while."
Gordon padded his luggage and felt that there was still a lot of space and weight to carry, so he said: "Then let's collect for a while longer. We've all come here to maximize the benefits."
“Okay.” Anhil said he had no objection.
If any hunter who has teamed up with Ancil sees this scene, he may be surprised - this guy is famous for his arrogance and awkwardness, and no one has ever seen this guy look so easy to talk to.
Gordon took out the water bag and drank two mouthfuls of water.
Even with the effect of the cold drink, the volcanic caves filled with lava lakes were still uncomfortably hot. He took out the map and took a look at it, then suggested:
“Going up the west corridor, you can reach the surface slopes of the southern foot of the volcano. It should be relatively cooler there. There are also several mineral spots marked on the map. We can go over there and have a look.”

Anhil pondered, "That guy seems to have a record of being around there. Okay, let's go there."
