Gordon took a deep breath and felt a dull pain in his chest and abdomen, which was a sign of internal shock.
Taking advantage of General Sickle's attention being attracted by Ancil, he quickly took out a bottle of recovery potion and drank it, coughing up 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. Ansir 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 crab 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 necessary shotguns for crossbowmen in close combat, and the magazine of penetrating bullets is about to be exhausted.
After receiving Gordon's instructions, Pork Chops 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", General Sickle stopped his offensive against the heavy crossbow user and turned angrily to Gordon and Pig Chops.
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 claws, 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, large pieces of flesh and blood 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".
It is different from its close relative, the Daimyo Shield Crab, which is only good at horizontal movement and has clumsy steps.
General Kamakura moves very quickly.
When it rushed straight towards Gordon, the terrifying sense of oppression was almost as strong as that of a flying dragon.
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-angled 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 circled to the side of Gordon.
The long knife-like claws came out "swiftly" and slashed horizontally towards Gordon's waist.
"What speed is this?!"
Gordon exclaimed and had no time to adjust his posture. He hurriedly ducked and rolled to avoid it.
The sound of the claws whizzing past was mind-numbing.
If this blow hits, 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 one after another, 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, which would at least have some effect.
Fortunately, during this period of time, Ancier had already adjusted his shooting position, and the very precise support shooting began.
One after another, the penetrating bullets passed through the space and penetrated into the weak spots of the General's 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 his continuous attack on Gordon.
"Well done! Young Master!" Gordon laughed and prepared to regroup and launch a counterattack.
"What a beautiful ghost!"
Anhil in the distance changed from his usual elegant and calm look, and he shouted anxiously: "There is only one penetrating magazine, and the remaining lv1 normal bullets cannot break through its defense!
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.
The general'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 general's attack, the giant scissors felt a little strange.
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 I can last.
After a few more roars of the ballista, Ancier's side stopped firing - the penetrating bullets 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 party said is the truth.
Having exhausted his ammunition, if he insists on staying, he will 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 start to retreat, Gordon struck out with a vertical slash, trying to get General Sickle's attention back.
However, the giant scissors, which had lost their sharpness, were bounced back by the dragon skull carried on General Sickle's back, causing no pain or itch at all.
"What the hell!"
Gordon yelled and cursed, watching helplessly as General Sickle's legs bent, and then jumped high like a grasshopper and hung on the rock wall in the cave.
Milky white foam billows in its lobster-like mouthparts.
"Ancil, be careful! It's breath!" Gordon shouted and reminded.
After a short period of energy accumulation, a high-pressure stream of water mixed with foam shot out from the general's mouth like a sharp sword.
The power of the water flow is very terrifying, and the rocky ground is broken layer by layer under its bombardment, with stone fragments flying everywhere.
As General Sickle's body rotated slightly, the torrent swept in a fan pattern, and Anhil, who was about to enter the entrance of the tunnel, had nowhere to hide.
There's no way Ancil, who is pretending to be a shooter, can withstand this blow!
Realizing this, Gordon gritted his teeth and rushed forward again, raising his sword to defend himself, blocking the water jet between General Sickle and Ancil.
The high-pressure water flow swept through like a solid sharp blade.
Anhill 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 that had been seriously damaged were completely broken by 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, Shogun 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!" Ancil also roared and deployed the heavy crossbow, and loaded the last special magazine loaded with paralyzing bullets into the weapon.
Gordon desperately saved him twice. If he wanted him to abandon his companions and escape 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 the general Kamaki, and the trigger was pulled hard!
General Kamakura, 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 Ancier's slightly stunned gaze, General Sickle, who fell into a state of paralysis, fell off the rock wall and fell heavily to the ground.
