Chapter 66 Dragging him down and beating him
"Be careful, everyone, keep in formation!"
Karl stood at the front, holding a torch in one hand and a finely forged longsword in the other, cautiously surveying his surroundings.
Im and Anthony stood in a triangular formation with him, protecting Richard in the middle.
The six militiamen were divided into two teams, each accompanied by a guard, with crossbows drawn and arrows nocked, aiming downwards.
Seeing that everyone was in position, Karl slowly walked forward.
Last night, Richard had already told the guards everything about the mine.
Each level of the mine is not large, about thirty acres in size, and the number of monsters is also fixed.
Once they are all cleaned up, this layer will be completely safe.
Richard even drew a simple diagram of the monster's general appearance and explained its attack methods in detail, striving to ensure that they had a clear understanding of it.
and so.
Karl's current task is to lead this assault team to find and kill all the monsters so that others can safely come in and mine resources.
...
After walking about ten meters and rounding several gray-white boulders, a "gurgling" sound suddenly came from the darkness ahead.
Stop.
Karl gave a low shout, and everyone immediately stopped in their tracks.
In the darkness in the distance, a dark green figure suddenly swayed.
next second.
The figure suddenly leaped up!
It jumped a full five meters high and pounced on the crowd with the force of Mount Tai crashing down!
"It's a slime!"
The militiamen panicked instantly.
Although they had trained in advance on how to deal with monsters, they were still very nervous when faced with a real attack.
The dark and gloomy environment amplified the psychological fear.
The two militiamen behind Im jerked their hands, and the crossbows shot out with a "whoosh," but they went straight for the top of the cave, their aim wildly off.
Only Katherina was different; a hint of fanaticism flashed in her eyes as she aimed at the leaping slime and decisively pulled the trigger!
"call out!"
The crossbow bolt pierced the air, accurately striking the slime's body and embedding itself completely.
pity.
The slime's body was as soft as jelly, with only the arrow embedded in it, seemingly without any effect.
Just as the slime was about to pounce into the middle of the group, Karl moved.
He raised the finely forged longsword in his hand, infusing it with life energy, causing a faint glow to emanate from the blade.
"cut!"
Karl gave a low shout, and his long sword slashed upwards, bringing a sharp whistling sound as it struck the slime hard.
"Pfft!"
A large gash was split open at the bottom of the slime, and green slime splattered everywhere.
Im followed closely behind, his longsword also imbued with life energy, and he finished off the slime's wound.
The two worked together seamlessly, chopping the green slime into a pile of mud in just a few moves, as if they were cutting melons and vegetables.
Anthony remained on Richard's side throughout the entire battle, not even watching the fight, his gaze wandering around, constantly watching for any other monsters that might appear.
Looking at the guard's clean and efficient movements, and then comparing them to his own panicked performance just now.
The two militiamen who had missed their crossbow bolts looked ashamed, wishing they could disappear into the ground.
Carl turned around.
He glared at the two militiamen and said irritably:
"What's the panic? It's just a low-level slime. Remember, the more panicked you are in battle, the more likely you are to die!"
The two militiamen lowered their heads even further and responded repeatedly.
"Yes, Captain!"
Richard couldn't help but smile as he watched this scene.
The training model of the Wolf Army begins with cultivating courage.
The newly recruited reservists were made to stand on an open field, facing the onslaught of hundreds of Swiftwind Dire Wolves.
Not one of them managed to wet their pants, and quite a few even fainted on the spot.
However, the method is very effective. After several rounds, even those in reserve can calmly face the monster's attacks without panic.
Carl suggested last night that the Universiade should also be given a chance to train the militia, but Richard did not take his advice.
The main reason is that it often helps reinforce the walls and has become familiar with everyone, so its psychological deterrent effect is relatively low.
It's better to practice on the level 10 and gain practical experience directly; that would be more effective.
...
Taking advantage of the brief break, Richard reviewed the prompt he had just received in his mind.
[Hint: Carl killed a green slime. Through experience sharing, you gained 3 combat experience points.]
[Note: Im and Kelsarina participated in the kill; through experience sharing, you gain 2 combat experience points.]
well.
Before going down into the mine, he spent 28 gold coins to add nine guards and twenty militiamen to the online playlist.
In this way, as long as they kill monsters, he can gain experience sharing and improve his combat skill level.
...
After the slime was killed, its body dissolved into a puddle of rotten water, leaving only a semi-transparent gelatinous substance.
This is [slime].
It can be used to make the Oil Producer and other items.
Richard did not immediately go forward to pick it up, but instead had the militiamen stick two crossbow bolts into the ground as a simple marker.
We'll come back and collect them all after we've cleared out all the monsters on this floor.
...
"keep going!"
Karl waved his hand and walked forward, holding the torch.
The others quickly followed.
After the battle, the militiamen were noticeably more composed. They gripped their crossbows tightly, their eyes fixed on the darkness ahead, not daring to relax for a moment.
Richard noticed Catherine.
Although she was a female militia member, she performed very well. She was steady in her hands and mind, and her courage was commendable. She was much better than the two male militia members.
...
The procession continued forward, the firelight casting long and short shadows of everyone.
They hadn't gone far when a dense buzzing suddenly came from the darkness ahead—the sound of insects fluttering their wings.
The guards knew what kind of monster it was. The lord had said that the only flying creatures in the Peaceful Layer were the Hard-shelled Flying Insects.
"No shooting."
Karl ordered all the militiamen to put down their crossbows, and he himself sheathed his finely forged longsword and drew the heavy iron shield from his back to protect his chest.
soon.
A dark figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
The shadowy figure was the size of a calf, covered in a hard black carapace. Its six thick, long legs were tucked into its abdomen, and a pair of transparent wings flapped rapidly, stirring up gusts of foul wind.
The hard-shelled flying insect had clearly spotted the group below; it let out a sharp screech and swooped down towards them.
Carl did not dodge.
Instead, his legs were slightly bent.
His body sank slightly, preparing to meet the impact.
Just as the armored flying insect was about to pounce, Karl suddenly exerted his strength, raising his shield and ramming it into the insect!
"Bang!"
The immense impact caused the armored flying insect's wings to freeze instantly. It let out a painful screech, and its body, like a kite with a broken string, wobbled and flew backward.
"Now!" Karl roared.
Im, who was waiting nearby, suddenly leaped high into the air, grabbed one of the armored flying insect's hind legs, and dragged it to the ground!
The armored flying insect crashed to the ground, and before it could even struggle, Karl rushed up, raised his iron shield, and slapped it hard on the back several times!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A series of dull thuds echoed through the mine. The armored flying insects were powerless to fight back, only squeaking and struggling desperately.
He hit me ten times.
Carl then stopped.
The armored flying insect lay on the ground, its wings flapping weakly, its compound eyes filled with anger and a hint of fear.
At this time.
Richard slowly stepped forward, took out a palm-sized leaf from his package, and tossed it in front of the hard-shelled flying insect.
The leaves shimmer with a golden glow; they are the shredded leaves of golden star cabbage.
The compound eyes of the beetle were also drawn to the golden, scattered leaves, and its immense desire made it forget the humans nearby.
It struggled to its feet, ignoring its injuries, and swallowed the vegetable leaf in one gulp.
As soon as the vegetable leaf entered its stomach, a surge of pure life energy spread out instantly, and the previously listless appearance of the armored flying insect was restored to some extent.
But just as it was about to escape, Karl raised his iron shield again and continued to strike its back with it.
The armored flying insect let out a mournful hiss, its body curled up into a ball, its eyes filled with even greater fear.
Richard lost another piece of golden cabbage leaf.
The armored flying insect hesitated for a moment, but ultimately could not resist the temptation of life energy and swallowed the vegetable leaf again.
Next...
Beat them up, feed them!
Beat them again, then feed them again!
...
Yes.
Richard wants to forcibly subdue the armored flying insects and form a monster army!
