Chapter 456 Sniper and Mobile Warfare
At Hilda's urging, the group set off again.
After walking along the underground river for dozens of minutes, they once again entered a narrow passage.
At this time, the hunters were extremely grateful for the detailed map left by their predecessors. Without a map, it would be more difficult to navigate the lava cave with intertwined caves and lack of reference objects than walking through a maze.
"It's going to get hot again ahead." Feng Ying looked back at the clear and gentle underground river reluctantly. The billowing heat waves and pungent smell of sulfur coming from the front of the corridor made people frown.
"This is a volcano." Anxier reminded Feng Ying.
A safari trip to a volcano without taking off a few kilograms of water is like missing out.
"However, it's no wonder there are so many large monsters gathering in the lava cave. Is it because of the river?"
Feng Ying, who gradually got used to the dark and hot environment of the lava cave, began to talk more, "I just saw fish in the river. It should be quite pleasant to live around the underground river."
Hilda, who was walking in front, looked back at Feng Ying and then at An Xil, as if asking, "How did you teach me?"
An Xil covered his face and decided to let Feng Ying memorize a few more books after the hunting was over.
"You're saying the opposite. For those volcanic monsters, the existence of underground rivers does not make survival difficult, but makes the environment worse.
Take the Explosive Hammer Dragon, Armored Dragon and Concubine Spider that you may encounter this time as examples. These three monsters are all weak to Water. What does this mean? They hate water.
The specially evolved body structure means that they do not need to drink water at all. Just like the armored dragon, they only rely on the trace amounts of water they absorb when eating microorganisms and flora, which is enough for them to survive. "
"Ah? A guy as big as Kailong actually eats microorganisms?" Feng Ying asked confused.
An Xil was silent for a long time and said, "Endorsement is not enough for you. Please write silently in the future."
"."
"Okay, that's enough chit-chat."
Hilda, who was walking in front, slowed down and her tone became serious, "The front is about to enter a dangerous zone. The Explosive Hammer Dragon should be not far from here, so be ready for battle."
Feng Ying grimaced and put aside the bad news of the upgraded learning difficulty for the time being. Anxil, who was at the end of the team, also inserted the L3 penetrating magazine into the Mithril rifle.
"You guys wait here for a moment while I go to the front to confirm the situation."
After Hilda finished speaking, she put down her black gauze mask and walked forward silently like a ghost.
An Xil, who was fine for the moment, checked the ammunition again, and Feng Ying also followed his example and confirmed the quantity of various items in the prop bag.
A few minutes later Hilda returned.
She whispered to the two of them: "After walking out of the tunnel, there is a giant lava cave. It is very hot, the terrain is open and flat, and there is a lack of shelter. This is not good news for us shooters.
The Explosive Hammer Dragon will be wandering there. After a while, Ancil will attack. You can think of yourself as hunting alone. Wind Ying will guerrilla and attack mainly on the tail. Be careful of flicking the tail. I will move freely to look for opportunities. You don’t have to worry about me. . "
"clear."
"OK!"
"Then let's get started."
The group of people quickly left the corridor and came to the huge cave space Hilda mentioned.
The 20-meter-plus fat body of the Boomerosaurus is very conspicuous. Even from a distance of two to three hundred meters, it is still clearly visible.
"Be careful."
Hilda gave a final reminder, and then, under Ancil's envious and admiring gaze, she jumped up the uneven rock wall.
The dark armor blended into the basalt mountain wall. She kept jumping and jumping, and soon disappeared from the sight of the two.
"Let's start too."
Anhil pulled the heavy crossbow bolt, "Just follow the formation when we first met the Thunder Wolf Dragon. I will be in front to contain it, and you will harass and attack from the rear."
"good!"
The two of them were approaching the Explosive Hammer Dragon. The current distance was still too far, and the power and accuracy of the crossbow projectiles were severely reduced.
An Xil led Feng Ying and approached gently.
The eyesight of the small-eyed Explosive Hammer Dragon is really not that good. The hunters used the few rocks in the cave as cover and slowly approached to a distance of about fifty meters, but they were still not discovered.
An Xil made a few gestures to Feng Ying, and Feng Ying nodded. After riding on Hu Hu's back, one person and one dog lay down.
Ancil opened the sniper scope, squatted down with the mithril rifle, and entered sniper mode.
"Low humidity, no wind, interference from the heat wave of the lava lake, interference from the heat rising from the ground," Ancier muttered to himself silently, constantly adjusting the position of the crosshair.
He was ready to snipe and nodded slightly.
After getting the signal, Feng Ying patted Amber's neck, and Amber immediately opened her mouth and let out a bright bark.
"Woof!"
Hearing the strange noise, the Boomer Dragon slowly turned around and looked towards the hunters.
"Bang!"
At the moment when the Explosive Hammer Dragon was facing the muzzle of the heavy crossbow, Ancil pulled the trigger, and a pointed cone-shaped penetrating projectile shot out.
He aimed at the blaster dragon's wide mouth.
The impact point of the crossbow bullet was very precise, but it was a pity that I was not very lucky. The penetrating bullet hit its wedge-shaped front teeth, causing a few sparks and ricocheting.
Level 3 penetrating bullets can be said to be the most penetrating type of crossbow bullets, but the incisors of the Explosive Hammer Dragon have been preserved after being polished by countless metal ores.
The hardness is so high that it cannot be penetrated.
Ancier did not waver at all, nor was he in a hurry to fire again. The muzzle of the gun was firmly locked on the target.
The sudden attack made the Explosive Hammer Dragon stunned for a moment. Although the crossbow bullet hitting its front teeth didn't hurt, it felt like someone tapped its front teeth with a small hammer, which was very uncomfortable.
It opened its huge mouth and let out a deterrent roar.
An Xier curled the corners of his mouth. He was waiting for this moment.
He pulled the trigger continuously, and the second penetrating bullet shot out and accurately shot into the wide-open mouth of the Explosive Hammer Dragon.
This time it hurt too much. The Explosive Hammer Dragon couldn't help but raise its neck and howl in pain. The subsequent penetrating bullets fell on its huge chin like a giant hammer, and sparks splashed.
As expected, it bounced again.
"Tsk." An Xier was shocked.
Penetrating the mouth is a common attack method used by light and heavy crossbowmen, and this trick is obviously effective against the Explosive Hammer Dragon.
But the attack conditions are too harsh-as long as this guy closes his mouth, it is difficult for the penetrating bullet to achieve the expected attack effect.
Moreover, without a reliable vanguard to hold the monster back, squatting in front of the Explosive Hammer Dragon and sniping one shot after another, what's the difference between this and committing suicide?
Seeing the Explosive Hammer Dragon taking heavy steps and rumbling towards him, Anxier immediately folded up his heavy crossbow and began to move.
Feng Ying rode Amber and rushed out, circling behind the Explosive Hammer Dragon.
Due to the countless alloy prisms on its back and its abnormally heavy body, the Explosive Hammer Dragon moved very slowly, but Anxier did not dare to distance himself from it too far.
He knew very well that once the Explosive Hammer Dragon felt that it could not catch up with you, it would immediately curl up like a tire and start rolling.
There would be no such thing as "slow movement" then.
Therefore, after pulling a little distance, Anxier immediately deployed the heavy crossbow at the fastest speed, replaced the water-cooled magazine, pulled the bolt to load, turned around and started shooting.
The cold water splashed at the head of the Explosive Hammer Dragon, and such an attack made it very uncomfortable.
It shook its head, roared, and continued to chase despite the attack. The distance between them was rapidly shortened.
Ansir emptied a magazine and put away the heavy crossbow again.
"No hurry, take your time."
