Chapter 5 Encounter

Snake people have extraordinary sense of smell and can smell the smell five kilometers away. Although Richard and others carried something that disturbed their own smell, they still revealed their tracks.

In less than half an hour, the four snake-like professionals had slowly approached and were not far away from them.

Walking in the primeval forest, Richard and others could not gallop, and their speed was relatively slow.

After their whereabouts were exposed, Soros made a decisive decision and decided to take the initiative to kill the snake-like people and solve this trouble.

At his command, everyone immediately became highly alert.

Richard was very calm when he encountered the enemy for the first time. At this moment, he did not feel afraid, but excited.

The iron-horned horses had not been tamed yet, and could not cooperate with Richard and others in the battle. Instead, they might escape in the chaos.

Soros led everyone to tie the four hooves of the iron-horned horses and tie the reins to a thick tree.

Then he rushed towards the snake-like people in a scattered formation without hesitation.

Six years after coming to this world, Richard was very careful every day, fearing that he would be exposed to abnormal behavior, suspected of being possessed by a demon, and put on the stake of the Inquisition.

On the third day after he crossed over, he saw a living person being burned in Black River Castle.

In a world where religion is rampant and supernatural powers exist, any abnormal behavior may lead to death. In order to avoid being put on the stake, Richard must be cautious, not reveal his identity, and not cause trouble.

Fortunately, when Richard crossed over, his mother was already seriously ill, Black River Castle was facing a war, and his father was busy with military affairs and could not take care of his family at all.

After being possessed by the demon, he experienced such a big change, and his behavior habits became more introverted, and his personality changed a little, which was reasonable.

Even so, Richard was taken to the church of the Dawn Church several times, and only after the high-level priest confirmed that there was no problem did he gain the trust of his father William.

A year after coming to this world, his mother died of illness, and a few months later, his father William married his third wife, Aura Marsal.

In the next few years, the Harland family welcomed three new members. William's fatherly love was transferred more to the little guy, and his stepmother, Mrs. Ola, was not very concerned about Richard and the others.

In this way, Richard quietly integrated into the other world, and in the next few years, he showed his talent, was trained by the Harland family, and entered the Knight Academy.

Living in a repressive environment for a long time changed Richard's character, making him optimistic and cheerful in his previous life a little cold-blooded. He became cautious and taciturn.

Among Richard's seven people, Soros and Roland are experienced mid-level professionals and also the vanguards of the scattered team.

Soros is good at using bows and arrows, and has a very good enchanted bow and arrow in his hand.

This bow and arrow is already a sixth-level enchanted weapon. The bowstring material comes from the dragon tendons of the high-level Warcraft Wyvern, and the bow body also smelts the fourth-level mineral Bauhinia Copper. The price is more than 5,000 gold coins. It is the favorite weapon of the first generation of Baron Dak.

After Soros advanced to the mid-level professional, the previous generation of Baron Dark passed this enchanted bow and arrow to him. It is said that because of the ownership of this enchanted bow and arrow, the Dark family had a big conflict.

The relationship between Soros and this generation of Baron Dark became worse.

Soros is not known for his strength among professionals, but his physical strength is more outstanding. Even so, according to Richard's estimation, Soros's strength is still more than fourteen points, and he can move a ton of cargo.

Soros exerted force with both arms, drew the bow and put the arrow, and the arrow burst out with a sound of breaking through the air, instantly piercing the snake-body man's scales, fiercely penetrating the snake-body man's abdomen, and nailing a third-level snake-body man to a thick tree trunk.

Soros was about to shoot the second arrow, but the snake-body man took the lead, opened his mouth, rolled his tongue, and shot out three missiles.

The snake-man was very smart. He did not attack the strongest Soros and Roland. Instead, the three missiles drew an arc and aimed at Richard, Hayden and Morgan.

The three had not yet become professionals, and they did not have sophisticated enchanted weapons to protect themselves.

Once hit by the venom missile, they would be poisoned at best, or even lose their lives at worst.

Seeing Richard and the other two in danger, Soros immediately stuck his bow and arrow into the ground, raised his arm shield, and his hands were shining. He transferred his fighting spirit to the shield and protected his second son Morgan without thinking.

Richard's reaction was also very fast. He drew his bow and arrow and was about to aim.

Seeing a venom missile shooting at him from a distance, he immediately turned around. He estimated the lead time and shot the arrow at the venom missile.

Richard's basic archery skills are already at the third level.

The third-level basic archery skills can easily hit the bull's eye from a hundred meters away.

In terms of archery accuracy alone, Richard is only slightly worse than Soros.

Even professionals like Roland and Powell were not as accurate as Richard.

After shooting the arrow, Richard turned around and hid behind a big tree without caring whether he hit the venom missile or not.

If he shot a fixed target, Richard would have been almost certain, but when shooting a fast-moving target, Richard's success rate was less than 30%.

The arrow flew past the venom missile, and seeing that the venom missile was about to hit the tree, Roland jumped forward and immediately crossed a distance of five or six meters. The big sword in his palm flashed red and hit the venom missile accurately.

Two venom missiles were blocked, and the last one hit Powell's shield hard. In order to protect his nephew Hayden, Powell stood in front and took a venom missile with his arm shield.

Powell was only a second-level professional, and his strength reaction was far inferior to Soros and Roland. In addition, he had retired for several years, so his physical condition was only slightly better than Richard.

According to Richard's estimate, his strength was no more than eight points.

He was instantly repelled by this force and hit Hayden, and the two rolled on the ground in a mess.

Seeing the venom splashing everywhere attacking the two, Kent threw out the leather tent in his backpack to block the splashing venom and protect the two.

The two sides fought for a very short time, and they started fighting in just a few seconds.

Soros didn't have time to use his bow and arrow, so he raised his spear and stabbed the snake man. Roland also stopped another snake man with a heavy sword.

Powell and Hayden got up in a panic and formed a small skirmish formation with Kent, Morgan, and Richard. Surrounded the last snake man.

The snake man has great strength and average speed. The four or five-meter-long tail gives them very good balance.

This species has good physical strength and scale armor defense, and is a natural heavy infantry.

In the orc army, snake professionals often serve as guards for commanders and are responsible for attacking when encountering fierce battles.

In close combat, the snake-man is able to compete with the mid-level professional.

If it was Soros who came today, relying on the enchanted bow in his hand, he would be much faster than the snake-man, and even a team of snake-man would not be his opponent.

Using the kite-flying tactic, Soros can kill all the enemies. This is not too difficult for him.

But there are also Richard, Morgan and others in the team. In the sudden encounter, they are equivalent to burdens and troubles, which drags Soros down and makes him fall into close combat, which he is not very good at.

Soros is already a fifth-level warrior. Although he is not good at attacking, he is still at ease against a snake-man, and there is still a good chance of winning.

Roland has superb swordsmanship and has learned several fighting skills of the Mad Lion Legion, so he obviously has a better chance of winning.

Although Richard's team has a large number of people, they lack the power to make a final decision, and they are a bit troublesome in the battle with the snake-man.
