Gordon stuck his head into the entrance of the cave, and when he found General Sickle lying down unsteadily in the depths of the cave, preparing to sleep and recuperate, he immediately retracted his head.
"It's almost asleep. Wait a few minutes before going in." Gordon lowered his voice and told Ancil and the others.
Ancier nodded. All hunters knew how attractive Mian Zhan was to the Great Swordsman. It almost became a kind of belief.
After a while, Gordon quietly sneaked into the cave. Looking at the back of the former bending away, Ancier felt that this guy was like a scratching bird about to steal eggs. He looked so wretched.
General Sickle was already asleep, but Gordon still didn't dare to walk for fear of making any noise and waking it up. He just walked for two or three minutes for a distance of less than a hundred meters.
When he came to the sleeping general Kamakura, Gordon felt like his whole body was on fire.
The long-lost Mian Zhan!
After going around and choosing for a long time, Gordon finally decided not to follow Ancier's instructions and aim at the legs of the general sickle crab, but chose a sickle claw.
It was impossible to directly chop the sickle claw, which was harder than steel, so Gordon aimed at the joint at the base of the sickle claw.
There is also a thick carapace covering here, but in the previous battle, the joint carapace was damaged. If the charging force is enough, the claw-shaped blade of the Explosive Knife Kai should be able to break through.
Gordon pulled out his sword, took a deep breath, pressed the air into his belly, and began to accumulate strength.
The powerful and heavy three-stage charged slash accurately landed on the joint crack at the base of the general's sickle crab's sickle claw. The sharp steel blade tore open the carapace and embedded itself deeply into it.
The general, who had been hit hard in his sleep, hissed and moved his body to get up. However, due to his broken feet and limbs, he lost control of his balance and fell to the ground again.
Gordon changed his posture and began to accumulate strength for further powerful charge slashes.
I don’t know if it’s because the weapon was changed to the heavier Explosive Knife Kai, but the powerful charged slash that was originally a bit difficult to control turned out to be quite handy this time.
After three stages of charging, the steel blade, with a roar that tore through the air, once again landed on the joint wound that had been more than half split open.
"Crack, click."
With a crisp cracking sound, one side of the general's sickle crab was cut off directly.
"Gah!!!"
Looking at General Sickle, whose whole body was twitching violently, Gordon suddenly felt that the four-star monster wasn't that scary after all.
In his eyes, the Fire Dragon, which was almost impossible to defeat with human power, seems to be at this level of "very dangerous, but you can try"?
"Bang, bang."
There were two crisp sounds, and two crossbow shells hit the rocky ground not far from his feet, splashing some tiny sparks.
Gordon knew that this was a signal from Ancil that the trap was ready.
The severely injured General Scythe trembled slightly. It slowly got up, raised its only remaining claws, and let out a silent roar at Gordon.
Although it is very weak, even though one of its proud sickle claws has been cut off, it will never give up resistance and let others slaughter it.
Gordon suddenly felt a little despicable.
But looking at the sharp sickle claw on the ground that was longer than his entire body, he immediately put this ridiculous thought behind him.
Only fools talk about martial ethics with monsters.
Gordon, who laughed at himself, put away his sword, turned around and ran away. The weak general Kamakura could no longer launch the dragon carriage as rampantly as before. It was very safe to run in a straight line. He didn't even dare to run too fast. Lest the latter fail to keep up.
In the dark underground cave, the faint electric light emitted by the paralysis trap was also very conspicuous. Gordon slightly adjusted his direction and led General Sickle to run there.
Pork Chop may be worried that Gordon's eyesight is not good enough, so he is still jumping around the trap, fearing that he can't see the trap clearly.
Looking back, Gordon, who had confirmed the location and direction of the General Scythe Crab for the last time and confirmed that it would definitely step into a trap, suddenly accelerated his pace.
He swept past the trap like the wind, picked up the bouncing pork chop, quickened his pace again, and ran at full speed.
"Squeak!!" The shrill scream of the general sickle crab came from behind after stepping into the trap and being paralyzed by the electric current.
At the same time, the roaring sounds of heavy ballistae were heard one after another from the direction of the cave exit - Ancil opened fire.
Three consecutive giant crossbow shells, as thick as a forearm, soared into the sky and were accurately nailed to the root of a huge stalactite at the top of the cave.
Gordon wanted to look back and admire it, but for the sake of his own life and that of Pork Chop, he could only continue running. In just a few seconds, he arrived at Ancier, who was waiting at the entrance of the passage and waved vigorously at them. .
The two of them and the cat raised their heads at the same time, looking at the stalactites at the top of the cave.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The violent roar of three armor-piercing grenades detonated at the same time radiated around, and was reflected back by the rock wall, forming waves of echoes.
A large piece of the giant stalactite's root was blown to pieces, and countless cracks expanded from small to small, and finally broke completely.
The stalactite that lost its support accelerated and fell under the influence of gravity, like a giant sword falling from the sky, piercing the general Kamakura below who had just escaped from the control of the paralysis trap.
The unique piercing cry of the crustacean monster suddenly stopped, leaving only the sound of rocks cracking and rolling down, echoing endlessly.
When Ansiel returned to Naguli Village, he was scolded by the Tulong village chief.
Using the convenience of the exploration mission to secretly hunt monsters whose danger level was higher than his own hunter level seemed to hit a certain pain point in the old man's heart. The spittle splashed all over Ancier and his friends' faces.
Gordon never imagined that this enthusiastic and heroic village elder could be so scary when angry.
The bald brown forehead was red due to congestion, and coupled with the pair of exaggerated crescent beards that were constantly shaking, people couldn't help but think of the big wild boar king in a furious state.
Gordon was very worried that the old man would give them a headbutt if he got angry. Looking at Ancier's small body, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Although Ancier's character is arrogant, he is not the kind of fool who doesn't know what to do.
He knew that the Tulong Village Chief was worried about his safety, so even though it was disgusting to have his face covered in saliva, he still patiently accepted the old man's reprimand and education humbly.
The old man cursed and relieved himself, and was dragged away by Lily.
Seeing Ancier lying next to the basin, washing his face desperately, Gordon couldn't help but smile, "How about it, General Sickle, you have also hunted, have you felt a breakthrough?
Or do you want to come back a few more times and be slobbered on by the old man a few more times? "
Anhir's movements paused.
He folded the towel for wiping his face and hung it on the shelf, his expression seemed a little subtle.
Knowing what the other party was struggling with, Gordon leaned on the wall, crossed his arms and said, "I won't spare the circle. Let's form a team. You should know better than me what is limiting your growth.
The General Scythe Crab is very powerful. Neither you nor I are sure of hunting it alone at the moment, but as long as we join forces, it will be worth mentioning.
The end of the hunting road is so far away that you can't even see the edge, and the monsters you encounter in the future will only get stronger and stronger. Rather than going on an adventure alone, it's nice to have a trustworthy companion, isn't it? "
Hearing Gordon's invitation, Ancil also smiled.
"I was still thinking about how to propose a more face-saving proposal, but you ended up saying it first."
With that said, Anhil took the initiative to extend his hand, "I have no reason to refuse. Please give me more advice in the future."
