Chapter 92: The Real Meat Sauce and Slide Tackle
Chapter 92: The Real Meat Sauce and Slide Tackle
As the Mountain Borer's crotch was struck, sparks flew, but unfortunately, it did not break through its defense.
Apparently, this common weak spot for humans did not apply to the Mountain Borer.
However, most creatures dislike having their crotches attacked, and in this regard, it seemed to be a universal truth.
In an instant, the bounty hunter's action enraged the Mountain Borer.
The giant held up the massive stone mallet in its hand and brought it down with full force on the bounty hunter's crotch.
"Boom!"
Dust flew everywhere, and the shockwave caused everyone to tremble.
The bounty hunter had already leaped behind the Mountain Borer and began chopping at its knee joints and back with an axe.
At this point, all three bounty hunter brothers had perished! It wasn't that the others stood by and watched as the three died, but rather, from a situation that seemed completely under control to their eventual demise, it had taken less than ten seconds.

The Mountain Borer lifted its right leg high, pausing briefly in mid-air as if gathering strength, and then swiftly stomped on the ground with tremendous force!
"This Mountain Borer's strength is incredible, and it seems to be getting stronger with each battle."
The Mountain Borer's strength was astonishing, and it had repelled him with just two strikes and killed three bounty hunters. At this moment, its ferocious and invincible aura had reached its peak.
It was as if a stone had been thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples across the entire surface.
"It's over!"
The slide tackle was successful!
"Ding ding dang!"
To be honest, apart from its eyes, which were an obvious weak point, the Mountain Borer's entire body was covered with thick and solid rock layers, revealing no apparent vulnerabilities.
"Be careful!" the crowd shouted.
Indeed, the Mountain Borer was only tall, strong, and well-defended, but its movements were not agile.
But when they saw the Mountain Borer gathering strength, they narrowed their eyes and guessed that the three bounty hunters were in grave danger!
A massive shadow rushed towards his forehead.
"Steward Schmidt, stay close to me and retreat quickly!"
The person was flung against the tunnel wall, turning into a bloody mess.
So, the Night Watchmen voluntarily shot at the Mountain Borer's eyes, forcing it to cover its eyes with its arms.
It seemed to be the junction of two or three old and new tunnels, and when Rain passed by earlier, with the help of his dark vision, he could almost clearly see the size of the area, which was nearly a hundred square meters.
This also allowed the entire team to fight while retreating, reaching the minecart transfer hub located at the fork.
This immediately caught the attention of the three.
But it was too late! The next second, he was swept by the giant stone mallet, which struck his waist directly.
"Ouch!"
Needless to say, the three bounty hunters who were closer also suffered the same fate! Although they had started to flee, the shockwave was faster and wider, causing them to fall to the ground.
Indeed, a giant stone mallet came crashing down from above.
Rain recalled the fork he had entered earlier.
The Shiny Gold hunter's face lit up with joy, and he immediately sprinted towards the crowd.
Hamilton grabbed the pale-faced gold mine supervisor by the collar and roared, "Where's a more spacious area in the mine shaft?"
Sparks flew, and debris kept falling, revealing a light gray color that seemed different from the surface rock.
The situation seemed to be in their favor! However, this enraged the Mountain Borer, and with a roar, its body seemed to grow slightly larger.
"This Mountain Borer seems to have awakened the Fury Talent, and even if we all attack together, we may not be able to withstand it."
The steel shield was almost twisted into a pretzel, and his left hand, which held the shield, was clearly more severely injured. The plate gauntlets were also deformed, indicating the Mountain Borer's immense strength.
But unfortunately, they had underestimated the Mountain Borer's strength. Now it seemed that even a formal knight might perish on the spot if they were not careful enough when facing the Mountain Borer, let alone these three bounty hunters whose strength was far inferior.
Although the Night Watchmen were skilled in archery, and their arrows were sharp, they could do little against the Mountain Borer's 'abnormal rank' defense.
Fighting such a monster was like dancing on a tightrope; one could imagine the consequences of falling to the ground and losing control of their body.
"Boom!"
"Ding ding dang!"
Clearly, fighting in that spacious area was much better than battling in this narrow tunnel.
The relatively open space allowed the seven or eight remaining Night Watchmen with fighting strength to surround the Mountain Borer and, under Hamilton's command, harass it from all sides.
Hamilton, who was usually in charge of the Viscount's internal affairs, rarely encountered such dangerous situations and was momentarily at a loss for what to do.
Immediately, three or four rope nets were thrown onto the stone monster.
With Hamilton's leadership, the Night Watchmen's initial panic gradually faded, and they began to retrieve their bows and arrows, shooting and retreating in coordination.
"Slap!"
Meanwhile, Rain continued to observe the monster's weaknesses.
"These are all 'smart people' from the city capital, and as soon as they see the situation turning unfavorable, they immediately plan to flee."
At this moment, Endry shouted from the side, "Watch out! It's 'Boulder Stomp'! Get out of the way!"
The three bounty hunters were startled and horrified.
The other two bounty hunters exchanged glances, seeing hope and excitement in each other's eyes.
Fortunately, Hamilton had somewhat recovered by now.
"Bang!"
"Throw the net!" Hamilton commanded as he continued to attract the attention of the Mountain Borer at the front, luring it towards him.
On the side, the bard Endry whispered to the pale-faced steward Schmidt, "As soon as we get a chance, let's get out of here immediately."
Rain found this decision perplexing as well.
He noticed Schmidt's ruthless expression as he prepared to repeat his previous tactic, sliding under the Mountain Borer's crotch to escape to the other side of the Stone Beast.
"What?"
"Why do they all look so shocked?"
Rain shook his head slightly, knowing that this wouldn't change the current situation.
Even Rain, standing over a dozen meters away, felt the ground violently shaking beneath him. It was as if he were standing on a soft dough, constantly undulating and quivering, making it difficult to maintain his balance.
Endry and Schmidt, on the other hand, had stealthily circled around to the exit of the minecart transfer hub, seemingly ready to flee at any moment.
Due to its long history and abundant gold reserves, the Elym Mine had multiple old tunnels where gold had once been mined. These tunnels intersected at the minecart transfer hub.
This distraction proved to be quite effective.
If they succeeded, according to custom, they would be entitled to a significant share of the value of the 'Stone Beast Heart', an extraordinary ingredient.
Rain nodded in agreement with Hamilton's decisive action, appreciating his boss's quick thinking.
Additionally, the current tunnel was extremely narrow, and their entire team was stretched out in a long line, blocked by the Mountain Borer at one end, making it impossible to surround and utilize their numerical advantage.
Rain couldn't help but notice this.
As the Mountain Borer was slowly lured to the widest section of the tunnel, the minecart transfer hub, the battle situation began to turn in their favor.
"Yes, yes!"
With this thought in mind, the three bounty hunters joined the first one who had charged in, surrounding the Mountain Borer's legs and relentlessly attacking its knees.

"Sizzle!"
A powerful force emanated from the center point of the ground where the Mountain Borer had stomped, spreading out in waves at an incredible speed.
However, the power disparity was too great, and even with the combined efforts of several Night Watchmen pulling on the rope net with all their might, they were still easily grabbed and pulled aside by the Stone Beast.
Schmidt, who had been intimidated by the Mountain Borer, heard Endry's words and felt like a drowning man grasping a lifesaving straw. He quickly agreed.
At this moment, the ground beneath them seemed like the surface of a lake.
The Mountain Borer had just hurled its massive stone mallet, weighing several hundred pounds, with tremendous force towards the bounty hunter, crushing him into a meat pie.
As long as they could exploit this weakness, they would eventually wear down the Mountain Borer.
Rain had been observing this unfamiliar monster from the sidelines.
What a commotion!
Block its path?
In an instant, one of the bounty hunters was smashed into a meat sauce, his limbs, organs, and blood splattering everywhere.
Seeing this, the lead bounty hunter's face turned ashen with shock.
"This shouldn't be! The Mountain Borer isn't that agile to catch up with us."
"Soon, Hamilton and these Night Watchmen will suffer heavy losses."
"Damn! It can even throw things!"
Hamilton quickly assessed the situation and realized that this strategy wouldn't work.
"The junction! The junction over there leads to a minecart transfer hub!" The gold mine supervisor, with a pale face, immediately pointed in the direction of the junction, responding to Hamilton's devouring gaze.
This turn of events was completely unexpected! Rain sighed inwardly. These three bounty hunters were clearly blinded by greed.
The dense barrage of arrows also failed to inflict any substantial damage on the Mountain Borer.
A scene reminiscent of a fly being smashed by a powerful force played out before everyone's eyes.
The bounty hunter couldn't understand what was happening and turned back with a puzzled expression while running at full speed.
However, several sharp-eyed Night Watchmen noticed that the Mountain Borer's body seemed to have swollen even more since the beginning of the battle.
They had to crush the monster's fighting spirit!
Additionally, its movement and attack speed had slightly increased compared to before.
"Night Watchmen, fire your arrows! Everyone, retreat towards the junction!" Hamilton shouted.
"This is insane!"
The tragic fate of the three bounty hunters chilled the hearts of most of those present, and their fear was palpable.
Real meat sauce! The nearby bounty hunter was splattered with blood, his face turning ashen, and he immediately tried to crawl away, terrified.
At this moment, Rain had a vague idea forming in his mind, but he wasn't entirely sure if it would work.
However, time was of the essence, and he knew he had to act now!
