The Dark King – Chapter 286
Dudian stood on top of the hill as he watched the twin-headed snake lizard"s movements. Perhaps it"s wound was so bad that it couldn"t get up. Maybe it was paralyzed and was unable to twist its body. From twin-headed snake lizard"s acts it seemed that it was dying.
However, Dudian was aware about the cunning side of the monsters from the past experience. Dudian wasn"t going to be confused by its appearance whether it was true or false. (the lizard"s acting) He only would believe if he was aware that it really died.
The flames began to cl.u.s.ter the weeds circling the place. They quickly spread to the surrounding area at an amazing degree. The smoke billowed sheltering over the gra.s.sland. The hot waves of heat swept through the area.
The open s.p.a.ce in front of the hill was covered in an instant sea of fire.
The twin-headed snake lizard"s body shrank in fear.
Dudian was sure that the injury was not as serious as it was on the surface of the twin-headed snake lizard"s body. The peristaltic movement of its body was a proof of that. He pulled out iron arrows and began to fire at its body. Dudian"s aim was its eyes.
Whoosh …
There was a rain of arrows.
The heads of the twin-headed snake lizard swayed around as the arrows. .h.i.t it. However the skin was so hard that the arrows couldn"t penetrate through but just hit the corners of the stratum and fall down.
In a matter of seconds dozens of arrows were shot. However scales were easily able to resist them.
Dudian"s face was gloomy. He knew about the destructive power of his shots at 100 meters distance. They failed to pierce the snake lizard"s scales which showed how hard the biological structure of the scales was. Moreover it seemed that internal distribution of the particles of the scales had evolved into an unimaginable level.
“It"s no wonder that the bodies of these monsters are taken back. Some of them could be made into weapons and armors that human"s would never even be able to create.” Dudian put away the bow and went down the hill. He took the boulder and threw it over at twin-headed snake lizard.
Whoos.h.!.+
Boulder flew away and fell down.
Twin-headed snake lizard entrenched its body in surprise and rushed to move up. Its body twisted and swung. It was able to avoid the rock which swept over the sea of fire.
Dudian continued to raise rocks and throw them over. He was lacking the tools so he was going to fight with the things at hand. However tools and equipment were the epitome of human wisdom. It was a unique power which no other animals was able to acquire.
Whoos.h.!.+
Twin-headed snake lizard again twisted its body and avoided the second stone that was cast at it.
Gwyneth who had come back joined Sergei to help Dudian.
Even if this level 27 monster was seriously injured it was extremely risky to engage with it in close combat.
Gwyneth and Sergei followed after Dudian and began to throw the rocks. However they were secretly cursing at the cunning monster.
All three of them were raising and throwing boulders. The twin-headed snake lizard was frightened as it didn"t expect such a shameless enemy attack.
It was very difficult for it to twist its body. Although it still had a lot of energy but the wound at its abdomen was too large. It was very inconvenient for it to move and doge. One of the boulders. .h.i.t its tail. It roared in pain as it quickly retreated outside the hill.
However the bushes outside were still in flames. Although many of them were green weeds and burning slowly but the fire was strong. It couldn"t easily pa.s.s through them. So the twin-headed snake lizard shrank next to the flames and tried to stay away from Dudian and others.
“It"s trying to open the distance.” Sergei breathed deeply as he saw the position of the twin-headed snake lizard. He wanted to give up.
Dudian immediately said: “We will get it at all costs.”
Sergei smiled wryly.
Jin and Scar were responsible for bringing boulders while the other three were using their bodies as stone throwing machines.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
It was very difficult for twin-headed snake lizard to avoid three boulders at the same time. The boulders that hit its body would smash and crack its scales.
Twin-headed snake lizard was scared because of continues boulders. Moreover the ground was full of blood which was leaking out of its body. However the weeds at the outer part of the open s.p.a.ce had been burned to the ashes but the temperature was still hot. The twin-headed snake lizard moved towards those areas where the flame was extinguished. It"s body twisted up as the exposed flesh and blood was affected by the hot flames and waves.
Dudian saw that it was opening the distance farther. He looked at Sergei and Gwyneth: "Get ready. We are going to fight it in close combat."
Gwyneth and Sergei were shocked. Although the twin-headed snake lizard was heavily injured because of cannon, explosion and the boulders and its body seemed in a horrible condition but it still had a strong momentum. However the moment they saw the determination in Dudian"s eyes they knew that there was no room for discussion. Both of them nodded in confirmation.
Dudian took the lead as the other two followed after him.
Jin and Scar saw that three had gone to attack the twin-headed snake lizard. They were aware that they would be able to help them out so they just prayed for them on the hill.
Dudian caught up with the twin-headed snake lizard. He pulled the bow and arrows and began to shoot to attract its attention.
The arrows were shot at its wounded parts. Twin-headed snake lizard noticed Dudian because of the pain. Its body retreated as its two snake heads ferociously rushed over at Dudian.
Dudian didn"t think that it will burst out this way. He hastily went back while he shouted at Gwyneth and Sergei: "You attack it from sides while I attract its attention!"
Sergei and Gwyneth separated. Sergei pulled out his spear while Gwyneth used sword. One from right and the other from left began to attack the twin-headed snake lizard.
Twin-headed snake lizards tail was swung around a lot so they didn"t dare to get too close to it.
Dudian saw that both of them weren"t really attacking the beast but acting so because of his orders. There was anger and helplessness in his heart. He gave up on attacking, turned and ran back to the direction of the hill.
Twin-headed snake lizard wanted to catch up with Dudian but it changed the moment it saw Dudian heading over to the hills. It seems that it subconsciously was vigilant of the place because of boulder attacks.
Dudian stopped to see that Sergei and Gwyneth were not willing to attack. He quickly pondered about other ways to solve out the problem. He loudly shouted out: "Both of you hold on while I get some helpers."
Sergei and Gwyneth were confused and doubtful about his words. However before any of them could ask a question, Dudian had already left away.
Both of them thought that he had retreated as the reason given by the Dudian wasn"t logical.
a.s.sistance?
Where would he find helpers?
Sergei was speculating while he tried to cope up with twin-headed snake lizard.
Dudian sensed the smells and swiftly ran in one direction. After about seven or eight corners he finally saw the aimlessly wandering figure. It was the mutated variant skeleton which he had hunted the last time. It"s body was extremely large.
Dudian shot an arrow. He turned back and ran.
This mutated skeleton roared as it was attacked and ran after Dudian.
It didn"t take long for Dudian to return to the place where twin-headed snake lizard was. At the moment Gwyneth and Sergei were hara.s.sing the twin-headed snake lizard from time to time. If twin headed snake lizard was attacking Sergei then Gwyneth would try to grab its attention while hara.s.sing it form the other side.
Both of them were relieved to see Dudian come back. In addition they saw a huge and ferocious looking human body roar and run after Dudian. It"s arms had scythes.
“Hide!”
Dudian yelled: “Make sure that it stays within this place while I continue to find some more a.s.sistance!"
Gwyneth and Sergei were shocked. They found it funny but in a dumb way. Although it was a very simply method but it doesn’t mean that it didn"t have effect. At such a moment no one may think of such method. Even if they thought about it there would be no one with the courage to do it!
After all, they were dealing with a monster. Why would you lead other monsters too?
Dudian ran towards the twin-headed snake lizard. The gra.s.ses which were on fire had covered the twin-headed snake lizard in a shape which was looking similar to letter "c". The snake lizard was in the middle.
The variant skeleton was attracted by the strong smell of blood as it lost the figure of Dudian from its sight. It blatantly roared as it rushed at it.
I would like to thank Kyozo for the pic.
