Chapter 332: The Archer’s Solitary Fight
The Velociraptor is not the kind of monster that is good at defense.
Their evolutionary direction belongs to the extreme specialization of speed and latency. Not only are their bodies not covered with thick and strong carapace, but most of their scales are also turned into non-reflective black hair.
The head, which is the main weak point, has very short and thin hair and cannot withstand the close-range shooting of shotguns.
When a magazine of shotgun shells was fired, Ancier was ready to stop the suppressive fire and the monster to fight back.
Unexpectedly, the Velociraptor not only did not take the opportunity to attack, but instead took advantage of the opportunity to jump far back and actively distanced itself.
The smile on the corner of Ancier’s mouth became even more obvious.
Easy to replace the fire bomb magazine, continue to lock the Velociraptor's head, and shoot continuously.
The Velociraptor kept turning its head sideways, trying to avoid the sparks that annoyed it, but no matter how it dodged, the crossbow bullets would hit accurately.
It roared irritably, raised its forelimbs to block the vital parts of its head and chest, and at the same time raised its long tail high and swung it.
Although Ancil didn't know exactly what the Velociraptor was going to do, it was always right to be cautious at times like this. There happened to be a thick tree nearby, so he rolled sideways and hid behind the tree.
"Duo duo!"
A series of muffled sounds of sharp weapons being hammered into hard objects were heard, and even the big tree where Ancil was hiding shook slightly.
Anhil looked out.
Dozens of cone-shaped thorns covered the area where he just stood, and the one nailed to the tree did not penetrate nearly half of the trunk.
The kind of attack that kills a spirit deer?
Such an attack is enough to penetrate his sickle armor and cause serious damage to him. If it hits a vital point, he may be seriously injured or even die instantly.
However, this kind of attack requires preparation time. The movement of the velociraptor's tail swishing is supposed to be accumulating power.
In this case, it will be much easier to handle.
Anhil changed the magazine, took a deep breath, pulled the crossbow bolt and rushed out, running quickly and firing continuously.
It's impossible to hit the Velociraptor's head accurately every time like this, and Ancil doesn't care, as long as the fire bullets can land on the Velociraptor.
Facing the outcropping hunter, the Velociraptor began to swing its long tail again, and the sharp thorns shot out again. Anhir managed to hide behind another big tree before the thorns hit him.
Then he leaned out half his body again and continued shooting.
Xunlong was completely angered by Ancier's hide-and-seek fighting style.
It leapt to the big tree where Ancier was hiding, unfolded its blade wings and long tail, and spun around in place.
Anhil quickly fell to the ground.
There was a "creaking" noise, and several large and small trees, including the big tree next to him, were broken by their roots and smashed into pieces, with wood chips and fallen leaves flying everywhere.
The dense tree canopy that blocked the sunlight also had a large gap, and the sunlight shone down through the gap and fell on the Velociraptor.
The Velociraptor shook his body irritably and jumped back into the shadow of the trees.
Hate the sun so much? So flash bombs should also be effective?
Anhil has a new tactical plan in mind.
He folded and put away the heavy crossbow, and ran away from the velociraptor. At the same time, he kept looking back sideways, confirming the velociraptor's movements with his peripheral vision.
As expected, velociraptors, like many beasts that like to lurk and attack, like to pounce on their prey from behind.
As soon as he turned around, the Velociraptor immediately tensed its limbs, looking eager to try.
Just before the Velociraptor was about to pounce, Ancier suddenly turned around and threw out a sonic bomb that had already pulled the fuse.
The timing of the burst of high-frequency noise is just right.
The velociraptor's limbs twitched in mid-leap and fell to the ground again.
The dark hair on the head and face of this velociraptor is almost bald.
The harsh noise, the annoying firelight and heat, the severe pain, and the irritation of being teased made the Velociraptor get up from the ground into a state of rage again.
It howled wildly, clawed at the ground with its limbs, and launched one of the most primitive, direct, and threatening attacks that any monster can master.
—collision.
Or as hunters are more accustomed to say, "dragon chariot".
Ancier calmly took out the flash bomb and threw it at the charging velociraptor.
A burst of bright light.
In the angry state, the Velociraptor with dilated pupils was immediately blinded by the bright light and fell into a state of confusion.
Anhil took the opportunity to shoot continuously.
However, the Velociraptor in a chaotic state was more aggressive than he imagined.
Before he could finish half of the magazine, the Velociraptor roared wildly and rushed toward him. However, the angle of the attack was not very accurate, and Ancil easily avoided the attack. .
How does Xunlong position itself? Hearing? Or the pain of being attacked? Anhir didn't have time to think about it.
If you are in an open area, it would be very dangerous to continue firing at this time.
But this is deep in a dense forest where giant trees flourish.
Anhil quickly moved behind a particularly thick giant tree, and using the cover of the giant tree, he once again fired at the charging Velociraptor.
If everything goes well, it may be possible to lure the Velociraptor into crashing into a tree.
Unfortunately, Ancier still took it for granted.
This is the home ground where the velociraptor lives. Even if it loses its vision, it seems to still retain some special senses or intuition.
At the moment when it was about to hit the thick tree trunk, it suddenly changed its posture, stretched its limbs forward and pushed against the trunk, then jumped backwards and landed steadily, as dexterously as an Elu cat.
After landing, the Velociraptor shook his head, his vision gradually recovered, and he was finally freed from the influence of the flash bomb.
It was spitting white steam between its mouth and nose, and it was obviously extremely angry.
Just when Anhir planned to use these giant trees as obstacles to fight guerrillas with the Velociraptor in a circle.
The giant beast suddenly took off, but it did not go directly towards the hunter, but flew to the crown of a giant tree.
Ancil raised his head while holding the heavy ballista, trying to lock on the Velociraptor.
But the velociraptor moved at a frightening speed above the tree crown, turning into a dark shadow as it jumped, with two scarlet rays of light dragging out a drifting afterglow on the retina.
He tried to fire two shots, but they both fell into the air.
Anhil simply folded and put away the heavy crossbow, and the muscles in his legs were slightly tense, ready to deal with any attack at any time.
Suddenly, Xunlong launched an offensive.
It quickly jumped between several large trees, confusing Ansiel's judgment, and then quickly fell from the side and rear, its claws and blades swept across.
The attack range this time was very large, and Ancier had no other choice but to dodge by flying to one side.
The sharp sound of the blade tearing through the air roared behind his ears. After landing, Anhil didn't dare to get up at all and rolled around desperately.
Xunlong has prepared a surprise attack for so long, and it will definitely not be as simple as just one move!
As he expected, the Velociraptor immediately adjusted its movements after waving its blade wings and claws in the air. While jumping backwards, its long tail slashed down lengthwise.
On the originally smooth long tail, the spike-like scales spread out like a huge mace, almost turning Anhir into a tattered corpse.
Anhil turned over and stood up in fear.
However, he found that the spiny scales on the Velociraptor's long tail were embedded in the soil and stuck on the ground.
