Chapter 114 Precision Sniper
The shooting position selected by Ancier was only more than 20 meters away from Gordon and General Sickle. It was closer than when hunting alone in the past, and it was far from taking advantage of the effective range of more than 50 meters of the heavy crossbow.
He felt that since Gordon was willing to trust him unconditionally and leave his behind to him, he must not betray the trust of the other party.
Taking into account factors such as the flight time of the crossbow projectile and the wind direction, there is still a slight chance that the support shot above 30 meters will miss, but within 30 meters, he is 100% sure!
Ancil's shooting speed is not fast, but very rhythmic - he is attacking in accordance with the frequency of Gordon's sword swings.
Every time Gordon swung his sword and the momentum was exhausted, a crossbow shell would hit the target.
This way, you don’t have to worry about Gordon being accidentally injured due to changes in sword moves, and you can also cooperate with the big sword to form a continuous offensive.
Soon, General Sickle had several new wounds on his body.
The effect of the electric shock bomb was slightly worse than Ancier expected.
Thunder-type attacks are indeed effective against Shogun Kamaki, but they are far from being outstanding. After two magazines were released, there was no obvious change in Shogun Kamaku's movements.
But Ancil does not seem disappointed. As a shooter, he does not lack patience. As long as the damage continues to accumulate, there will always be a moment of qualitative change.
With the support and shooting of his companions, Gordon, who was facing the general's offensive attack, felt much more relaxed.
He clearly felt that the combos of General Sickle Crab's sickle claws were not as smooth as before. Even for the crustacean, it was painful. It was impossible to face the continuous attack of crossbow shells and remain completely indifferent.
Just when Gordon was about to attack more aggressively and began to attack the left leg of General Sickle, the latter finally became furious.
The General Scythe Crab, which lacks red blood cells in its blood, does not have obvious changes in appearance when angry like many large monsters, such as the skin color becomes red, the eyes are bloodshot, etc.
But it has been significantly improved in terms of action speed and agility.
His legs shrank to avoid Gordon's slash, and at the same time, he raised his long and sharp claws high.
General Sickle looked like he was demonstrating. Although he didn’t know what this guy wanted to do, out of caution, Gordon immediately put away his sword and began to retreat.
Anhil's shooting speed in the distance also suddenly accelerated, and the successive crossbow shells almost formed a line.
In the past, it took an average of three to four seconds to fire one shot, but now, within just a few seconds of the general Kamakura making a demonstrative movement, he emptied the entire magazine.
Gordon's choice to retreat early is undoubtedly a wise one.
I saw the General Sickle Crab spread its claws, and its legs moved at a dizzying speed. Its huge body turned into a whirlwind, turning around in less than a second, and its sharp sickle claws It even opened a perfect arc of light in the air.
Facing this 360-degree indiscriminate attack, Gordon couldn't help but swallow secretly.
Fortunately, he was not greedy and withdrew from the attack range first. Otherwise, facing an attack at this speed, rolling to dodge would be a gamble. If he moves a little earlier or later, he will be cut off in the middle.
The sweep failed, and General Sickle had no intention of letting Gordon go, and immediately chased after him.
It did not rush straight forward, but turned sideways and ran in an arc. Perhaps because of the special structure of its legs, the General Sickle Crab running in an arc was much faster than walking straight.
Almost in the blink of an eye, it went behind Gordon, between Gordon and Ancier.
If it were another kind of monster, Ancil would be overjoyed. This would simply put the best shooting range in front of the muzzle of his ballista, and he could just fire at will.
But this guy is a hermit crab, just like the closely related shield crab. The huge dragon skull on its back is its best shield. Most crossbow shells are not painful at all.
However, the General Scythe Crab also learned a lesson. It gave up the strong attack method of double-claw combos and began to move around Gordon constantly. From time to time, it would stab with a Yin Dao, which shocked the latter into a cold sweat.
Facing the general sickle crabs that kept circling, Ancier, who was in the outermost circle, could never find a suitable shooting position - no matter where he went, this guy would move his legs to adjust his position, and then face the dragon skull behind him Own.
The dragon's skull was shaking as if it was mocking something.
A blue vein popped up in Ancil's forehead when he was provoked. He sneered, replaced the magazine of the crossbow with a penetrating bullet, and said loudly: "Gordon! Just pay attention to self-protection, I will find a way! "
After receiving Ancil's reminder, Gordon no longer struggled with attacking General Sickle's legs. He slightly retracted his explosive knife and concentrated on defending against General Sickle's sudden attack, dealing with it patiently.
On the other side, Ancier lowered his body, set up his scope, and launched sniper mode.
Under the high-power scope, the lines on the General's sickle crab's carapace became clearly visible. He slowed down his breathing, suppressed his heartbeat, and everything around him seemed to become quiet and slow.
After aiming for more than ten seconds, Anhil finally grasped the opportunity.
The General Sickle Crab, wielding its sickle claws, inevitably turned its body slightly, exposing one leg outside the defense range of the dragon's skull carapace.
Flames erupted from the muzzle of the crystallized ore Nova, and penetrating projectiles shot out with extremely fast ballistic speeds. With astonishing accuracy, they penetrated the joints of the foot limbs that were still constantly moving.
Dirty green body fluids splashed everywhere, and the punctured leg drooped down. General Sickle's movements obviously stagnated, and his center of gravity began to shift to the left.
“Hey.” Ancier hummed with satisfaction.
He lost count of how long it had been since he started sniping mode in battle.
In the past, when hunting alone, only the first shot before being discovered by the monster could be slowly aimed and sniped, and after that, there was only endless, boring close-range shooting and dealing.
Hash the target into the crosshair again, and after another period of aiming, Ancier fired again, and once again successfully penetrated one of the legs of General Sickle.
At this point, more than half of the legs of the General Sickle Crab have been damaged, and its movements have become visibly slower.
At this time, even Gordon, who was in the midst of a fierce battle, couldn't help shouting and praising: "Ha! Well done, young master, give me a few more shots and see how this guy can still move around!"
The corners of Ancier’s mouth curled up.
Compared to the forced close combat, I really like the feeling of calm sniping.
Shogun Scythe, whose limbs were severely injured one after another, finally realized clearly who was the enemy that threatened it the most.
It crossed its claws in front of itself to block the sword in Gordon's hand. At the same time, it bent its legs and began to accumulate strength.
Upon seeing this, Gordon immediately shouted a warning, "Ancil! It's about to turn towards you, be careful to avoid it!"
Ancil put away the mineral crystal nova without hesitation. He stood up, ready to run or roll to dodge at any time.
The next second, General Sickle moved.
All legs, including sickle claws, even broken ones, exert force at the same time.
The huge body, weighing several tons, reached high speed in an instant. Using the horn of the dragon skull behind it as an impact angle, it rumbled into Ansil in the distance.
Gordon, who was left where he was, stared.
Shogun Sickle's "dragon chariot" turned out to be upside down?
