Chapter 113: Defensive Line
"We Hunters don't have enough wood to help fortify our defenses. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Although Andre still had a gentle and intimate expression, there was no doubt in his tone, "As for you, let's take a rest here, although I didn't suffer any injuries, but after all, I have passed through the entire beast tide, and fatigue is inevitable." I'll ask the idle crew to make you some broth, don't be disgusted, it's the best thing you can eat here. ”
"We just wanted to help, and we didn't mean anything else." Jia Xiao explained, "The faster we can solve this wave of beasts, the sooner we can contact our teammates who are still in danger." ”
"Staying here safely is the greatest help to me." Andre still intends to tell the truth, "If Lord Anfei breaks out of the beast tide and finds that you are injured under my command...... If he is depressed and unwilling to help us defend against the tide of beasts, this is the biggest loss for the hunters here. ”
Xiong Fuji secretly smiled, this style really seemed to be something that the old cat could make. But are they, the trainees, really so important in the hearts of the six-star hunters? The big man was unimpressed.
"If we can't intervene...... "Shentu Miaoling said, "can we observe from a distance?" After all, we are students, so there are not many opportunities to face the tide of beasts. ”
Andre groaned for a moment and nodded slightly. Although the students ran through the entire beast tide, the time they chose was the interlude period when the monsters charged, and the fierceness of the beasts was not so great. Being able to see this rare scenery in front of you is also very beneficial for the future hunter's path. Being able to make it easier for the Black Star Twins was exactly what he wanted.
"Stand at a distance and don't make a move in any situation." He admonished, "I'll arrange for you to be guarded." ”
"No need." Jia Xiao shook his head and said, "Since the union is short of manpower, don't allocate additional manpower to us." ”
"Okay." Andre didn't hesitate, "You eat something first, and I'll see you in a quarter of an hour, and I'll notify the hunters guarding the gate to let you go." ”
Only then did the teenagers realize that the day was already halfway over, and after hurriedly eating some dry food and glutinous minced meat soup, the three of them returned to the direction of the beast tide from the checkpoints where they had just entered the main body of the defense line.
There are fewer hunters guarding the level than when they came, and probably all the hunters with complete combat power have been transferred to the front line, and the rest are also waiting for battle. The teenagers saw Andre in full hunting clothes on the periphery of the first line, as the person with the highest hunter level in the team and the leader of the team, Andrei had to appear on the front line. The four-star hunter's imposing presence is even more majestic behind the custom armor, and the tall and thin hunter's equipment is covered in silver scales, which seem to be made of some kind of rare wyvern material.
"Great sword!" Jia Xiao's eyes lit up, heavy weapons were particularly effective on this kind of frontal battlefield. Andre's big sword is also special, the blade of the sword has only one side of the blade, not so much a big sword, but a huge kitchen knife, the back of the knife is also decorated with a craggy bone knot, the blade is a simple dark yellow, and there are fine skin lines unique to the monster when you look closely, which is probably also the material of some kind of high-level monster.
The girl shook her head secretly, she couldn't see the material of these two monsters, the armor covering her whole body seemed to have the same texture as the male fire dragon, but this bright silver color was more noble and extraordinary than the ordinary male fire dragon. The spine of the great sword seems to be the end of the vertebrae of a certain monster, but the bone material is notoriously difficult to match with gold and iron, and looking at the way the back of his sword and the blade fit together, I don't know what kind of monster's bones have such strange characteristics.
"Worthy of a four-star hunter." Xiong Fuji was a little envious, his own Ghost Hunting Spider suit had lost a bracer, and he was still using the apprentice's wrist armor to support the façade, but even his entire set of armor and weapons was probably not as powerful and valuable as a part of this armor.
Andrei saw the three trainees from afar, and nodded slightly. His attention was still on the sparse woods in the distance, the hunter in charge of the reconnaissance had already reported many times, and in a few minutes, a large black shadow of longing would appear there, followed by a new wave of charge.
There was no danger to rely on in the place guarded by the hunters, one reason was that the path at the mouth of the valley was not dangerous in the first place, and more importantly, for monsters accustomed to fighting in the woods, the dangerous terrain - whether it was an advantage or a disadvantage, was always far more beneficial than humans for the fierce beasts that roamed here all year round.
There were about fifty hunters involved in the guard, most of them two- and three-star, and this was already nearly two-thirds of the strength of the raiding party. The crowd stood on the side of the road, each hunting squad in its own formation, with melee weapons in front and ranged behind. Hunters fight in squads, and in order to cater to their familiar fighting style, each team will try to limit the battle to a small field, using a few hundred meters outside the woodland as the first line of defense to neutralize the beast tide, and if a monster breaks through the first line, it will have to face the second line of defense in the rear.
In other words, the barrier in front of him, which is purely composed of the hunter's body, has to resist the greatest pressure - the energetic, undamaged, and menacing monster, with an indomitable momentum, is about to impact after a period of accumulation.
Rumbling footsteps could be heard in the distance, interspersed with the clatter of tree trunks falling to the ground and branches snapping. Some of the low-level hunters have begun to change color, and most of the people who can still look like usual are veteran hunters who have been through a hundred battles. Under Andrei's command, the hunters seized the time and planted a row of paralysis traps within a hundred meters of the outer edge of the woodland as the only buffer. Everyone retreated to the 100 meters behind the trap, and they all packed up their moods, prepared their fighting postures and waited calmly.
"Here we are." Xiong Fuji said excitedly, his sixth sense, or battle instinct, could feel even the faintest monster hostility. That feeling is like a thorn in the back, thin but clear, and it is by this mysterious feeling that the big bear has predicted many monster attacks.
And now, in his senses, the hostility of the monsters is no longer a "sharp needle".
It's a vast ocean.
The aura between the monsters and the monsters was refined into one with each other, and although it was mixed and chaotic, it went straight in the direction of the defensive line. It was like the waves crashing against a high cliff, rolling in disorder, but being pushed and pulled by an invisible force against the hunters.
Feeling the wave of nothingness with monstrous anger, Xiong Fuji's face changed suddenly, and he instinctively wanted to take a step back, but the descendants of the free hunters did not allow themselves to show their cowardice in front of everyone, and as soon as his right leg was raised, he was forcibly suppressed back.
Although the other two teenagers did not have the same sensitive intuition as Big Bear, they really felt the changes in the qi in the woodland. The boys and girls looked at each other and smiled bitterly, the tide of beasts had not seen its shape, and if they did it again, they would never want to pass through it without Amphinis's tongue and lotus flower.
"Whew!"
At this moment, a beast's head protruded from the forest, breaking the gloomy atmosphere on the defensive line.
