Parker pulled the trigger, the bowstring swept like the wind, and the recoil knocked him backwards. Fang Plover supported the little guy from behind and looked up to see that the arrow turned into a black dot in the distance and hit the rock shark's broad lower abdomen.
Everyone's eyes widened in curiosity, including Parker. A dazzling fire flashed, like an orange-red vulture circling, covered with black wings. After the flames rolled, a gray number burst out of the field of vision - seven hundred and seventy-one.
Tianlan suddenly opened her mouth into a cute O shape. The lion man turned around and glanced at Fang Plover with his pale silver pupils - although there was no system, the aborigines could also see the damage numbers.
Only Parker blinked his little eyes and looked down at his fingers, still not believing that the arrow was shot by himself. Fang Yu pushed him from behind and reminded: "Don't be in a daze, continue."
His words were strangely convincing at the moment. The Papalars reacted and hurried to pull the crossbow.
After several rounds of shooting, a hole opened in the hard layer of the rock shark's belly. However, the shooters collectively slowed down their firing rate. Their magic furnaces were no better than craftsmen. After two skills, the mana consumption was already over half.
At this time, the beast of burden had entered the metasequoia forest in front and was very close to the rock shark. Fang Plover turned back and said to Luo Yu and the others: "You guys go to the other side of the Anqiao."
"Ah, why?" Tianlan asked.
"Because it's not safe."
Tianlan still wants to hang around. It's so exciting here, and she hasn't had enough yet. But Aitila has already ordered: "Listen to Ed."
She had no choice but to follow Luo Yu and Jita unhappy.
The crowd kept chasing the rock shark forward, tall and straight trees on both sides flew past, and a group of wild horses in the distance were frightened and fled in all directions.
The destruction of the hard layer alerted the rock shark and also angered the behemoth. As the crowd got closer and closer, it suddenly stopped escaping, turned around with a swing of its long fins, and let out a long cry. The rock shark has no vocal cords - but it can resonate through its long horns. With this long cry, countless sharp rocks fly into the air and are suspended in the forest.
It waved its horn again, and pointed rocks shot towards everyone like raindrops. The first group of people to bear the brunt was a makeshift team that blindly wanted to grab contributions, so it relied on the Rock Shark closest. At this time, it was unlucky. The rain of rocks fell into the crowd, and everyone fell on their backs. At that time, seven or eight white lights representing death rose.
The team behind them stopped and set up a force field shield, but unfortunately what flew towards them was a hill-like proto-crystal. The hill of proto-crystal hit the hemispherical shield, causing thousands of points of damage. The shield was shattered, and the hill collapsed, falling into the crowd, and a cloud of smoke filled the air.
The flying sharp rocks also swept towards Aitila and his party, crackling on the carriage house and platform. Parker screamed and flew behind the wall, and Fang Plover lowered his head and hid on the other side. Only the lion man was holding a double-headed sword, standing proudly in the rain of flying rocks, blocking the left and right, and smashing any sharp rocks that hit the platform.
But there are still fish that slip through the net and crash into the carrying house and the negative hill beast. The Gray Ridge Negative Hill Beast was okay, with rough skin and thick flesh, and was protected by a platform. It only suffered a few scratches at most. But the pack house was in bad luck. A rock flew and crashed into Fang Plover's room. The shield nailed to the wall was of no help at all. It sunk in with the wall with a click.
Fang Yu's heart almost jumped out of his throat when he saw this. He was just about to open the door nervously when he heard Miss Tata's voice: "Don't worry, Mr. Knight, I'm fine. Thank you for caring about me."
Only then did Fang Plover let out a sigh of relief.
The stone rain passed over everyone's heads and finally passed. At this time, Tian Lan, who was hiding on the other side of the Negative Qiu Beast, realized how wise Fang Plover's previous words were, and couldn't help but whisper to Jita and Luo Yu: "Brother Ed is obviously a novice, how come he seems to know everything? "
Jita opened her mouth, wanting to remind her that there were many things he didn't know. For example, there were a lot of jokes during Traveller's Rest. However, Tian Lan kept chattering and didn't give her a chance to speak.
Luo Yu kept observing carefully and said, "Mr. Ed seems to know the habits of rock sharks very well."
The three of them looked at Fang Plover not far away.
But Fang Yu understood more than just the habits of rock sharks. He had longed for this day many years ago, and could experience such a battle personally like the selectors in the video guide.
With a strong interest in Aitaria, I have spent countless days and nights carefully researching in the virtual community, and accumulated bits and pieces.
All turned into the experience of this moment——
The Gray Ridge Negative Hill Beast has arrived below the rock shark, and a shadow covers everyone's heads. Everyone raised their heads and looked at the behemoth. Adela had no experience fighting against rock sharks, and subconsciously asked: "What should we do now, Ed?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Fang Yu, as if he was a commander.
"If we have a chain spear, we can pull it down. This is how the people from the Rain of Fire Guild completed their first kill. If that doesn't work, we have to find a way to get on its back. The rock shark's back belongs to it. weakness."
As Fang Yu answered, he also looked up at the giant shark in mid-air. There was no fear or nervousness at all, only full of curiosity - it was a rock shark, one of Kukai's strange creatures. It was the first time he had seen such a thing in person. creature.
In the forest, many adventurers had also caught up nearby. They clumsily climbed over the spreading roots and got within 20 meters of the rock shark. Then he raised the hook launcher in his hand and fired the hook with a bang, hitting the rock shark's back.
These people then turned on the switch of the hoist on the magic furnace together. The rope was stretched straight, and they also pulled the rope and flew towards the back of the rock shark in mid-air. But the rock shark was obviously alert. It swung its tail suddenly and threw many people away, hitting trees or rocks, and there were a few more white lights.
But more people climbed up. The adventurers hugged the protruding rock layer on the back of the rock shark with one hand and carefully climbed towards the dorsal fin of this giant creature - which is the part where the rock shark's defense is weakest.
Attila and Red looked at each other. The lion-man nodded, took two steps forward and shook his mane. He didn't have a hook launching device. He only saw a pair of golden wings of light stretching out from the armor behind it, and it flapped slightly.
Wings of Faith - This is the twelfth level skill of the sacred system.
Fang Yu couldn't help but was slightly startled when he saw this scene. Paladins in Aitalia generally refer to people who have attainments in faith ability, theological knowledge and combat skills at the same time, but usually focus on combat. Paladins are first and foremost a warrior. Next is a believer. Combat skills should account for two-thirds of the total experience value or even higher, followed by faith ability and theological knowledge third.
And Tianlan told him that Red was a devout paladin from Malan, and he was the strongest among them all. The paladin itself was a third-level job, and the lion man was almost in his early twenties. Just because he has to comply with the rules of trainees, he usually doesn't go with them when he goes out on missions, but stays to 'look after the house' - which is why he gets the reputation of being a big cat.
And if the total experience of level 20 has the ability of faith of level 12, the combat skills will not exceed level 13. The ratio is almost half and half. It is better to be called a combat priest than a paladin. No wonder Tianlan said he was pious.
On the other side, Etila's actions were simpler. She jumped forward and her body shrunk in mid-air, turning into a bird of paradise. She flapped her wings and turned back and chirped a few times to everyone, as if to tell them to be careful, and then she Fly towards the rock shark.
The abilities of Amaya's nature believers are really enviable and jealous. Nature druid is basically the first profession to gain the ability to fly. It's a pity that the goddess is a psychopath and only accepts true believers, so there are very few people who can win her favor.
Rhett also flapped his wings and flew up. He held a double-headed sword and flew into the air. His long fiery red mane was flying in the air. He was really majestic. Tianlan couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing it: "Mr. Big Cat is so handsome!"
After hearing this, Rhett almost fell to the ground.
The battle with the rock shark has reached a critical moment. The rock shark was obviously aware of the danger and began to struggle violently, trying to drive away the uninvited guest on its back.
But the adventurers were very experienced, and the shooters increased the intensity of their shooting, especially targeting the crack in the rock formation on its lower abdomen, forcing it to not concentrate on dealing with the melee profession on its back.
The rock sharks rampaged through the forest, scattering the crowds and fleeing in all directions, but they could not escape the encirclement. The magicians prepared the crystals and released another wave of wind spells, causing the turbulent airflow to suppress the rock shark to a lower airspace - almost only a few dozen feet above the ground.
Parker was also pulling the trigger one after another, but it didn't mean much. It just forced the rock shark to evade instinctively. Fang Plover put down his Walker Type II. This Walker was very different from the Sword Plover - first of all, it was much larger in size, half a person tall.
Secondly, it has no defensive spherical armor on the chassis. The gears, pipes and core crystals are all exposed, and a shelf is installed on it. On it is a three-eyed blunderbuss with its own ammunition supply chain, and a gun mantlet on both sides. .
This type of long-range walker has a nickname called 'Fortress'. It has 130 rounds of ammunition and a maximum rate of fire of 33 rounds per minute. The attack power of a single shot is about the same as that of a level 8 gunslinger. Plug-ins such as delayed injection devices can also be installed, allowing it to display corresponding shooter abilities - as long as the operator has the relevant knowledge.
Of course, Fang Plover has no knowledge about crossbowmen and gunners, so it can only use its basic attack. However, with full firepower, it is even more impressive than the Papalar crossbowman beside it. But it is amazing. Due to the limitation of the platform, the accuracy is very poor, and it can only play a suppressive role, shooting out a string of sparks on the hard layer of the rock shark.
The first one to arrive near the rock shark's dorsal fin was Atila, who set off before the others. As soon as her bird of paradise landed on the ground, she transformed into an elf girl. She held a spear and stabbed the root of the rock shark's dorsal fin with one spear.
A stream of bright red blood emerged from there.
This was the first time that the rock shark had been injured. The giant monster suddenly went crazy and hit the tall metasequoia trunks and branches around it, causing the trees to creak and fall. Many people were unlucky because of this and were thrown off their feet.
The rock shark began to accelerate, seeming to make a last-ditch effort to break out of the encirclement. However, the adventurers had already expected this, and the magicians began to drop a purple crystal.
anesthesia crystal——
When this kind of crystal is shattered, it will release a paralyzing mist aimed at the soul. However, the mist is very heavy and will only have an effect at low altitudes, so it is usually not used until the final stage.
A purple mist spread near the rock shark, but just when everyone thought the battle was certain, the rock shark suddenly let out a frightening resonance sound, which shook the entire forest.
It turned out that it was at this time that the lion-man Red slashed its dorsal fin with a sword. His attack power of nearly level 20 almost cut open half of the fin surface, causing scarlet blood to gush out like spring water.
Under the severe pain, the rock shark suddenly turned over and rushed forward, rushing out of the purple mist-filled range.
Everyone was stunned by this drastic change. Due to the sudden turning of the rock shark, almost all the adventurers on its back were thrown out. At the same time, it finally broke away from the turbulence zone, suddenly raised its body, and flew high into the sky.
"Don't let it fly high, otherwise we will all be doomed!" someone shouted in horror.
Everyone knows what it feels like to have a bomber chasing you overhead.
Rhett and Atila, who had transformed back into a bird of paradise, wanted to pursue them again, but it was too late. After the rock shark escaped from the turbulence area, it flew faster and faster, and soon flew out of the canopy, like a giant whale leaping from a green sea - it is a creature of the sky, naturally it is not the elf Drew It can be compared with the flying warriors like Yiyu and the Lion Paladin.
Everyone was helpless and could only watch it fly into the sky.
And when the behemoths come to their senses, it's time for them to suffer. Humans often hunt rock sharks, but rock sharks themselves are also one of the top hunters in Kukai.
In fact, some people have begun to back down——
It was at this time that Fang Plover on the negative hill beast platform reacted. He saw the Papalar crossbowman next to him who was in a daze. Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind and he said: "Parker, use your explosive crossbow." Give me the arrow."
"What?"
"Quick, explode the crossbow bolt."
"Wait a minute, but your walker can't shoot that far. The three-eyed musket on it is the same one I used. It was modified from the old Corin-Ithurian Type 13 musket."
"It doesn't matter," Fang Yu shook his head, took out a small object and threw it over, then said: "Stuff this thing as much as you can. By the way, set the delay fuse to the last setting."
Parker took a closer look and realized that it was a copper ball with a yellowish luster - a clockwork goblin. He opened his mouth wide, and suddenly understood Fang Plover's crazy idea: "You are crazy, the clockwork fairy is so expensive!"
"I don't have to worry about so much now," Fang Yu replied, "You don't want to die, right?"
Parker thought about the question carefully, then nodded.
"Then hurry up. No matter how far you are, I won't be able to catch up -"
The Papalar man took the clockwork goblin dumbfounded, and while carefully filling it with unstable crystals, he murmured to himself: "A clockwork goblin that can self-destruct, my God, I have never heard of it. Such a thing."
"No," Fang Yu shook his head, stared at the rock shark in mid-air, and replied confidently: "There are examples of such battles, but they are very few. The Guta people used this method to attack the Oshu Empire. Fleet—but what do they call that clockwork goblin?"
"correct."
"It's the efreet."
