Chapter 109 The Broken Giant Scissors
Gordon took a deep breath and felt a dull dull pain in his chest and abdomen, which was a sign of internal shock.
While General Sickle's attention was attracted by Ancil, he quickly took out a bottle of recovery potion and drank it. He coughed out a small piece of bruise, and his burning chest and back suddenly felt much better.
He wiped the corner of his mouth and said to Pig Chop who hurriedly came to him: "Pig Chop, play the horn and flute to draw the monster's attention. Ancil won't be able to hold on for long!"
As Gordon said, in less than half a minute, Ancil had already entered a state of embarrassment.
The general's sickle landed only a few meters away from him, and the two were almost fighting close to each other, which was very detrimental to the slow-moving heavy crossbow user.
What's more, this guy doesn't even have the shotguns needed for close combat by a crossbowman, and the magazine for penetrating bullets is about to run out.
After receiving Gordon's instructions, Pork Chop did not hesitate and immediately blew the horn whistle to attract the monster's attention.
Amidst the echoing sound of the horn flute's "doo, doo, woo", General Sickle stopped his offensive against the heavy crossbow envoy and turned to Gordon and Pig Chop angrily.
Gordon, who drank the recovery potion, barely regained his strength. Holding a big sword, he took the initiative to attack.
It was at this time that he had the opportunity to take a good look at this terrifying crustacean that almost split him into pieces as soon as he appeared.
The Shogun sickle crab is similar in size to the Daimyo shield crab, but its body structure is more compact. Unlike the latter, which looks like a big crab with its claws and fangs, the Shogun sickle crab is more like a combination of a mantis and a lobster.
The streamlined carapace is mainly blue, and the edges of the carapace are covered with jagged spines, which are as sharp as knives. If the hunter does not wear armor, even if it is only lightly scratched, a large piece of flesh will be torn off.
The most conspicuous thing is naturally the pair of sickle-like forelimbs, which are slender and fast, swinging like the wind, and the claws even give people a sharp beauty like a "sword dance".
Different from its close relative, the shield crab, which is only good at lateral movement and has awkward steps.
General Scythe moves very quickly.
When it rushed straight towards Gordon, the terrifying sense of oppression was almost no less than that of a flying dragon's dragon chariot.
Gordon estimated the distance accurately, stopped immediately and began to accumulate strength, intending to stop the general Sickle's offensive in a head-to-head manner, just like when dealing with the big strange bird.
However, General Kamakura's reaction once again exceeded his expectations.
Just when the charged slash was released and was about to hit the sharp horn-like head of General Sickle, the latter's pace suddenly changed.
I saw it switching from a straight charge to a sideways movement without any warning, turning into a blue shadow, easily avoiding the powerful charged slash, and at the same time, it went around Gordon's side.
The long knife-like claws came out "swiftly" and slashed horizontally towards Gordon's waist.
“What speed is this?!”
Gordon exclaimed, without any time to adjust his posture, he hurriedly ducked and rolled to avoid it.
The sound of the claws whizzing by in the wind is mind-numbing.
If this blow is hit, even if it is protected by the strange bird suit, it will not be cut in half, but it will still be severely injured.
And such a sharp attack is just the beginning.
Facing the claws swung out by General Sickle, Gordon kept blocking, rolling, and dodging, but he could only barely parry and deal with them, with almost no chance to fight back.
Pork Chop tried to attack from the side and rear to attract the General Sickle Crab's attention, but the Ore Cat Pickaxe was unable to break through the defense of the General Sickle Crab's carapace, and its attack was completely ignored.
This made Pig Chop very upset. Why didn't he bring two explosive barrels with him? That would at least have some effect.
Fortunately, during this time, Ancier had already adjusted his shooting position, and started the very accurate support shooting.
One penetrating bullet after another passed through the space, nailing into the weak spot of the general sickle crab's carapace from various tricky angles, splashing out dirty green blood flowers.
The sudden severe pain forced General Sickle to let out a sharp hiss and temporarily stopped the continuous attack on Gordon.
"Well done! Young Master!" Gordon laughed and prepared to regroup and launch a counterattack.
“What a beautiful ghost!”
There are only three paralysis bombs in one magazine, so it is almost impossible to be effective. Get ready to retreat! "
Gordon was startled when he heard this, but then he realized that this was the only option.
General Kamakura's strength exceeded his expectations. His movements were too fast. Without Ancier's shooting support, it was almost impossible for him to win in a single fight.
What's more, after blocking the attack of the general Kamakura, the feeling of the giant scissors was a bit wrong.
Looking at the two huge cracks on the sword, Gordon estimated that the sword may have suffered irreversible structural damage.
I don’t know how long it can last.
After a few more roars from the ballista, Ancier's side stopped firing—the penetrating shells had been exhausted.
Seeing that General Sickle's attention was attracted by the heavy ballista, Gordon yelled: "You retreat first! I'll entangle it. If you don't have ammunition, it's useless for you to stay!"
Anhil, who has a proud personality, is unwilling to abandon his companion, but he also knows that what the other person said is the truth.
Having run out of ammunition, he forced himself to stay, which would only add to the chaos.
"General Sickle's physical strength is not very good. If you find an opportunity, run away in a straight line! It can charge for tens of meters at most. If you run past this distance, it won't be able to catch up with you!" Anhil said loudly while putting away the heavy crossbow: "I Meet you at the other end of the corridor!"
"receive!"
Seeing Ancier begin to retreat, Gordon struck out with a vertical slash, trying to get General Sickle's attention back.
However, the giant scissors, which were sharply reduced, were bounced back by the dragon skull carried on General Sickle's back, without any pain or itch.
“Hell!”
Gordon cursed and watched helplessly as General Sickle's legs bent, then jumped high like a grasshopper and hung on the rock wall in the cave.
Milky foam billows in the monster skull on its back.
"Anhil, be careful! It's breath!" Gordon shouted and reminded.
After a short period of accumulation, a high-pressure stream of water mixed with foam shot out from the skull on the back of General Sickle Crab like a sharp sword.
The power of the water flow is so terrifying that the rocky ground is shattered layer by layer under its bombardment, with stone flakes flying everywhere.
As General Sickle's body turned slightly, the torrent swept out in a fan shape. Anhil, who was about to enter the entrance of the tunnel, had nowhere to hide.
Anthir in the shooter outfit can't possibly withstand this blow!
Gordon gritted his teeth after realizing this, and rushed forward again, raising his sword to defend himself, blocking the water flow between General Sickle and Ancier.
The high-pressure water flow swept through like a solid sharp blade.
Anhil heard Gordon’s reminder, and what he saw when he turned around was Gordon being blown away by the high-pressure water flow.
The giant scissors, which had been seriously damaged, completely broke apart under this blow, and the aftermath of the breath fell directly on him. When he was once again smashed against the rock wall near the corridor, General Kamakura's breath finally ended.
When Gordon fell to the ground, he was unresponsive. It was unknown whether he fell into a coma or something more terrifying.
“Meow!” Pig Chop screamed.
“Gordon!” Ancier also roared and deployed the heavy crossbow, heavily loading the weapon with the last special magazine loaded with paralysis bullets.
Gordon desperately saved him twice. If he wanted him to abandon his companions and run away alone now, it would be easier to just let him jump into the lava lake.
The sniper mode was launched, the crosshair was accurately locked on the face of General Sickle, and the trigger was pulled hard!
General Sickle, who had just finished breathing, was a little tired and did not move immediately. The three paralysis bombs accurately hit the target.
“Creak!!” A sharp insect-like hiss suddenly sounded.
Under Anhil's slightly stunned gaze, General Sickle, who fell into a state of paralysis, fell off the rock wall and fell heavily to the ground.
