Chapter 221 It’s not time yet
Julius used the terrain to perform this set of gyrations in the air, leaving Gordon dumbfounded.
He’s so cool with his foul language!
Is it possible for me to use such a handsome attack one day in the future?
The heavy sword behind him seemed to be responding to his expectations - you are dreaming.
After another rampage, the heavy beetle quickly realized that the beetle on its body was dead. In this case, the latter was no longer a boost, but just a useless load.
He stopped and used his full moon tail to pick up the corpse of the beetle from his body. With a strong tug, he pulled off the corpse of the beetle that was clinging to him until death, and threw it aside indifferently.
Then, it raised its body and emitted a burst of high-frequency neighing that was difficult for human ears to detect, while releasing a stream of foul-smelling pheromones.
Hunters let it go—it's summoning new beetle guards.
“Let’s take advantage of this opportunity to weaken the heavy beetle’s strength.”
Gordon suggested to Julius who came to him: "If you don't attack it at all, it will increase the difficulty of the subsequent hunting. It is unnecessary.
Anyway, as long as you don't actually kill it, with the monster's self-healing ability, it can fully recover in one to two days. "
Julius was stunned for a moment, then nodded and agreed to Gordon's proposal.
His reluctance to kill heavy beetles is to maintain ecological balance, rather than to protect it unconditionally. As Gordon said, it is not necessary.
At this time, the heavy beetle has completed the preparations to attract the through beetle, and returns its energy to the hunters.
The battle resumes.
“Nadia! Attack the heavy beetle!” Julius shouted.
The exchange between Gordon and him just now could not be heard from Miss Light Crossbow Envoy's position.
"knew!"
Nadia immediately understood what the two swordsmen meant. The heavy beetle's fierce charge had also startled her.
To be honest, even if Gordon didn't propose it, she would do it after a while.
After replacing the magazine of the penetrating bullet for the fire dragon cannon, Nadia started sniping.
The fire bombs should be reserved for attacking the piercing beetles for a while, but not too much should be wasted on the heavy beetles.
The heavy beetle is huge, has a thick trunk, and the extremely penetrating penetrating bullets also have a very good attack effect. After one magazine was fired, the heavy beetle turned its sights this way.
Julius and Gordon immediately accelerated their attack pace, trying to draw the heavy beetle's attention back.
The Dual Swordsman danced wildly in front of the heavy beetle, but the heavy beetle used its pair of small and somewhat disproportionate shield-like pincers to protect its face. Julius was unable to do anything with it for a moment.
Gordon swung his sword hard at the joints of the heavy beetle's thick legs. Unfortunately, the explosive knife Kai, which was not sharp enough, was unable to break through the defense of the latter's carapace after being worn out by the previous battle.
“Qiang! Qiang!” Flicking the knife is like striking iron.
Nadia also increased her vigilance. After replacing the new magazine, she did not rush to start shooting, but carefully observed the movements of the heavy beetle.
A stream of white steam spurted out from its body.
A large ball of water bubbles rolled in its mouthparts, and Julius and Gordon immediately moved away from the front of the heavy beetle.
This is obviously a precursor to breathing.
After a short preparation, several round water bombs shot out from the mouthparts of the heavy beetle at a speed that was difficult to see clearly, and bombarded Nadia's position.
Moments before the water bomb was launched, Nadia put away the light crossbow early and swooped to dodge.
The special effect of the new guard stone allowed her to save further and survive the crisis safely.
“Boom!”
An unexpected loud noise was heard, and the water bombs passed over the position where the light crossbow user was standing before, hitting the rock not far behind her, and causing debris to scatter in all directions.
Such power made Nadia slightly stunned.
The two swordsmen continued to attack, while Nadia ran and adjusted her shooting position.
It turns out that the heavy beetle has a terrifying enough long-range attack method, and she plans to find a relatively safe bunker first.
“Buzz—”
Nadia, who was moving, looked in the direction of the sound.
“The beetle is coming!” she warned loudly.
At the same time, she didn't care whether the penetrating bullets were suitable for dealing with the not-so-large piercing beetles. She pulled the trigger and fired continuously, just to delay the latter's pace of supporting the heavy beetles.
Gordon, who was dealing with the heavy beetle with Julius, heard this and immediately turned around with his sword in his hand and faced the heavy beetle.
This guy is his real target.
Seeing that the heavy beetle seemed to have the intention of chasing Gordon, Pig Chop, who was hiding aside, immediately took over and threw several micro-explosives one after another.
“Meow meow meow meow!”
“Crackling.” Sparks exploded along with the gunpowder smoke.
The heavy beetle shook its body impatiently and gave up the pursuit.
Gordon successfully engaged the beetle.
He could clearly feel that this beetle still had its own thinking like the previous one at the beginning. It was just attracted by the heavy beetle and had not yet fully controlled it.
It must be done to the heavy beetle as much damage as possible before it can actually control it and fuse with it. It is best to kill it directly.
Otherwise, the heavy beetle in combined state will be very troublesome.
Nadia had the same idea. After loading the flame bombs, she began to specifically aim at the wings of the beetle and fire.
When combined with a heavy beetle, the beetle's biggest help to the former is its two pairs of wings. If its flying ability can be destroyed early, its help to the heavy beetle will be relatively limited later.
The Thor Beetle, who was attacked from both sides, was a little panicked.
It flew backwards, raising its belly at the same time, and sprayed a large stream of viscous corrosive fluid towards Gordon in front of it.
Gordon quickly rolled to dodge, but this kind of attack that could splatter was the most difficult to completely avoid. Even if he was very careful, a small amount of corrosive liquid still splashed on his wrist armor.
The corrosive liquid on the surface of the wrist armor was bubbling, and Gordon quickly shook his hand to shake off the corrosive liquid.
But in just two or three seconds, traces of rust appeared on the surface of the armor.
This guy's corrosive liquid can destroy armor, so special attention must be paid.
Gordon took a big step and accelerated towards the Thor Beetle. Judging from the action of the latter spraying corrosive fluid, this attack requires a certain amount of preparation time.
Then don’t give it time!
Gordon shouted and launched a swift and aggressive attack.
Feeling the completely different fighting styles of Gordon and Julius, Nadia narrowed her eyes.
It would be a waste of time to move at this point.
crouching and setting up the gun, and cooperating with Gordon to speed up the shooting rhythm. Anyway, the beetle has no time to care about her, so it can be said that she is the best target.
This time I should bring a heavy crossbow!
On the other side, Julius is also more proactively launching an offensive against the heavy beetles.
He was a little bit into trouble before, always worried that he would kill the heavy beetle by using too much force.
It wasn't until Gordon reminded him that he realized again that the heavy beetle was a five-star dangerous monster. Even without the help of the full beetle, it was an existence that he had to deal with carefully.
Show mercy? It’s not time to do that yet!
Sliding forward and slashing, while avoiding the heavy beetle's legs and limbs, Julius rushed into the former's arms, with the relatively vulnerable head and abdomen right in front of him.
Transform into ghosts and dance wildly!
(I’ve been really busy these days, so I probably won’t have time tonight)
