Chapter 92: The Real Meat Sauce and Slide Tackle
Chapter 92: The Real Meat Sauce and Slide Tackle
As the bounty hunter's strike landed on the Mountain Borer's crotch, sparks flew, but unfortunately, it didn't break through the creature's defenses.
It was clear that this common weak point for humans didn't apply to the Mountain Borer.
However, most creatures dislike having their crotch attacked, and this seemed to be a universal truth.
In an instant, the bounty hunter's action enraged the Mountain Borer.
The creature raised its massive stone hammer and brought it down with full force towards the bounty hunter's crotch.
"Boom!"
Dust flew, and the shockwave caused everyone to tremble.
The bounty hunter had already darted behind the Mountain Borer and began hacking at its knee joints and back with an axe.
"Ding, ding, dang!"
What a ruckus!
The other two bounty hunters exchanged glances, seeing hope and joy in each other's eyes.
The Mountain Borer was indeed just a large, strong, and well-defended creature, but it lacked agility.
As long as they could exploit this weakness, they believed they could eventually wear the Mountain Borer down.
With this thought in mind, the two bounty hunters joined the first one, and the three of them attacked the Mountain Borer's legs, focusing on its knees.
Sparks flew, and debris fell continuously, revealing a light gray color beneath the surface that seemed different from the stone material.
This caught the trio's attention immediately.
The situation seemed promising!
However, the Mountain Borer became furious, and after a roar, its body seemed to grow slightly larger.
It raised its right leg high and paused in mid-air, seemingly gathering strength, before slamming it down onto the ground with lightning speed.
Rain had been observing this unfamiliar creature from the side.
But when he saw the Mountain Borer's powerful strike, he narrowed his eyes, guessing that the three bounty hunters were in trouble!
At that moment, Endre shouted from the side, "Watch out! It's 'Boulder Stomp'! Get away!"
"Boom!!"
A powerful force rippled outward from the point where the Mountain Borer's foot landed, spreading rapidly like waves on a calm lake.
The ground undulated like the surface of a lake.
Even Rain, who was over ten meters away, felt the intense tremors as if he were standing on a soft dough that was constantly rising and falling, shaking him off balance.
The three bounty hunters, who were even closer, experienced a worse fate.
Fighting against such a monster was like walking a tightrope, and being knocked down meant losing control of their bodies.
Indeed, a massive stone hammer came crashing down.
In an instant, one of the bounty hunters was turned into a bloody mess, with limbs, organs, and blood splattering everywhere.
A true meat sauce!
The other bounty hunter nearby was splattered with blood, terrified, and immediately tried to run towards the others.
"Bang!"
The person was slammed into the tunnel wall, becoming a bloody pulp.
The leader of the bounty hunters was also shocked, and he decided to try the same tactic, sliding through the Mountain Borer's crotch again to get behind it.
"Whoosh!"
The slide tackle was successful!
The Flash Gold Hunter's face lit up with joy as he sprinted towards the others.
"Be careful!" they shouted.
"What?"
"Why are they all shouting in surprise?"
"It shouldn't be! The Mountain Borer isn't agile enough to catch up."
The bounty hunter couldn't understand, and as he ran, he turned back, puzzled, only to see a huge shadow rushing towards his forehead.
"It's over!"
"Damn! It can even throw!"
"Slap!"
The scene resembled a fly being swatted with great force.
The Mountain Borer had just thrown its massive stone hammer, weighing hundreds of pounds, at the fleeing bounty hunter, crushing him into a bloody mess.
Within ten seconds, the bounty hunter brothers had all perished, from a promising start to a tragic end.
It was beyond everyone's expectations!
Rain sighed inwardly; the bounty hunters had underestimated the strength of the Mountain Borer.
Even a formal knight might fall before such a creature, let alone these bounty hunters with inferior strength.
The gruesome fate of the three bounty hunters chilled the hearts of most onlookers, and their fear was genuine.
Fortunately, Hamilton was gradually recovering at this moment.
The steel shield was almost twisted into a pretzel, and his left hand, which held the shield, was clearly more severely injured, with the metal gauntlet slightly deformed, a testament to the Mountain Borer's immense strength.
Hamilton scanned the surroundings and immediately realized that continuing this battle was not feasible.
The Mountain Borer's strength was astonishing; with just two blows, it had repelled Hamilton and killed three bounty hunters. At this moment, its ferocious and invincible aura had reached its peak.
It was necessary to dampen its momentum.
The narrowness of the mine tunnel was too restrictive, and the entire team formed a long line, blocked by the Mountain Borer at one end, unable to surround and utilize their numerical advantage.
Hamilton grabbed the collar of the pale-faced gold mine overseer, whose face was ashen, and roared, "Where's a more spacious spot in this mine?"
"Yes, yes!"
"The junction... The junction over there is a mine cart transfer area!" Facing Hamilton's fierce gaze, the pale-faced overseer quickly realized and pointed in the direction.
"Night Watch, archers, everyone retreat to the junction!" Hamilton shouted.
Due to its long history and abundant gold reserves, the Elm Mine had multiple tunnels intersecting at a junction, which served as a transfer area for mine carts.
Regarding Hamilton's swift decision, Rain nodded slightly, highly approving of his superior's choice.
Rain also remembered that junction when he entered the mine.
It seemed to be the intersection of two or three new and old tunnels. When Rain glanced at it earlier, with the help of his dark vision, he could almost clearly see the area of the junction, nearly a hundred square meters.
Obviously, fighting there would be much better than battling in this narrow tunnel.
With Hamilton's command, the Elite Night Watch, who had initially looked flustered, gradually calmed down. They put down their bows and began to coordinate, shooting and retreating simultaneously.
"Ding, ding, clang, clang!"
Although the Night Watch's archery skills were quite proficient, and their arrows were sharp, they couldn't do much against the Mountain Borer's 'insane-level' defense.
The concentrated arrows also couldn't inflict any substantial damage on the Mountain Borer.
The Night Watchmen then voluntarily aimed at the creature's eyes, forcing it to cover its eyes with its arms.
This move had a decent disruptive effect.
At the same time, it allowed the entire team to fight while retreating.
However, several observant Night Watchmen noticed that the Mountain Borer's body seemed to have subtly expanded further.
Additionally, its movement and attack speed had slightly increased compared to before.
This detail also puzzled Rain.
"It's really bizarre!"
"Indeed, they're all 'smart folks' from the county town. As soon as they sense the situation turning against them, they immediately plan to flee."
Rain shook his head slightly; blocking them wouldn't change the current situation.
At this moment, he had a plan in mind, but he wasn't entirely sure if it would work.
However, time was running out; he had to make his move!
First subscription exceeded the prediction line!
Thank you all for your great support! (`) Heart.
