Chapter 216
Dudian thought over the matter. At the end he decided that there is no option but to go forward and single-handedly continue to delve into depth of ruins.
This ti he decided to stop about three or four kiloters away from the monster. He unloaded the gunpowder box and began to arrange traps. He would make pits and fill them with powder or circle an area with it.
Dudian quietly sensed the sll as he finished making the traps.
The closer he got to monster more nervous he beca. If the monster had a strong physique and was good at speed then he may not even have the opportunity to lead it to the trap. Although he had considered various combinations but nevertheless there was a low probability of such a situation which would put his life into very risky and dangerous situation.
Dudian saw that there was no reaction from the monster as he reached a thousand ter distance. However, the monster began to approach him at high speed as Dudian reached five hundred ters.
Dudian’s heart turned cold as changed his direction and ran.
He sensed the distance between the monster and himself. He sighed in relief as the monster was not the speedy type. He turned back to check the monster after he passed the region with sparse weeds. It was a large reptile which had similarities both to a lizard and insects. He had seen the monster in atlas. It was a horned lizard which was graded as a level 12 monster.
It was an omnivorous monster that fed on grass and at.
Dudian looked at the horned lizard whose appearance was similar to a crocodile. He took out iron arrows and began to shoot at the monster as it entered the 200 ter range.
Puff! Puff! Iron arrows hit its head and pierced the scales. However they stopped after they went in for several inches.
The horned lizard stopped as it felt the pain. Instead of continuing to follow after Dudian, it turned away and run toward the weeds.
Dudian began to ran and shot after it at the sa ti.
However it was very difficult to shot it as both of them were moving at high speed. Two arrows couldn’t hit it while the third one was successful. He continued to pull the string and shot arrows as he caught up with the horned lizard. Moreover, the lizard’s speed had increased as it ran for it’s life.
There was about three hundred ters distance between them when the horned lizard that was fleeing stopped in front of the grasses to consider where to go next.
Dudian imdiately seized this great opporunity as he quickly aid at it. However before he was able to shoot the arrow, the scene and situation suddenly changed. It seed the horned lizard got frightened as it stood frozen in place. The next mont a large mouth attacked it from the grass and bit it in one go. Horned lizard’s body twisted and its tail kept swinging but the monster opened its motuh once again and swallowed it. Blood sputtered from horned lizard and dripped from the other monster’s mouth.
Dudian was shocked to see that horned lizard was killed by a snake tailed crocodile! It was a level 19 monster!
Even the senior hunters had to be very careful if they t such an existence.
“Should I run away?”, Dudian thought for a mont.
“I must!”, he hesitated for mont. But in that mont he took out a silver arrow and aid at snake tailed crocodile’s mouth which was cheweing the horned lizard.
Puff! The arrow shot and pierced its mouth.
The monster roared in pain and its eyes focused on distant Dudian. Before Dudian’s shot the snake tailed crocodile was focused on eating the horned lizard. However after it felt the pain, it quickly swallowed the horned lizard and rushed after Dudian.
Dudian’s face slightly changed as he ran away.
boom! boom! boom!
The ground trembled as heavy footsteps of the snake tailed crocilde echoed out. Dudian’s face was ugly. He rushed past chaotic heaps of rubble. He was very flexible as he ran over the rocks. There was about 1500 ters for him to reach the traps. However, he could feel that the snake tailed crocodile was about 100 ters away from him.
Dudian’s body sweated a lot because of the stress. He roared and put all of his strength to run. His legs moved so that it seed he was flying. The sound that was made when he moved seed like a whistle.
“Not enough! Not fast enough!” Dudian panicked as he felt that there was about forty of fifty ters of distance. He was going to get caught before getting to traps.
Faster!
Faster!
Dudian’s cried in his heart. His blood was boiling as he desperately ran.
Gradually he heard the footsteps lagged behind. However he didn’t dare to go back to check. Finally he ca to the area where the traps were arranged. He was a bit assured as he heard the footsteps coming from few hundred ters away. He took out the match while he looked at the direction where snake tailed crocodile was expected to approach. He was that snake tailed crocodile was still approaching and was about four hundred ters away. However, it was just running a bit slower.
Dudian’s eyes lit up.: “Is rcury taking effect and playing its role?”
He put the match box in his mouth as he took out another silver arrow and tightly stared at the snake tailed crocodile which was running towards him. The crocodile was running while seven or eight ter long snake tail was swinging at the back. It was used to balance its body while it run at high speeds.
Dudian had a sharp and cold look in his eyes. The mont snake tailed crocodile reached the two hundred ters range, he gentle released the string of the bow.
Whoosh! Arrow left the bow.
The snake tailed crocodile had rushed past another ten ters of distance when the arrow hit its eye!
“Roar!” The monsters body soared up and fall down. The crocodile had no vocal organs but in the process of mutation and evolution it had evolved and could make tiger like low roars.
Dudian was rciless as he went for another arrow. This ti he used normal iron arrow. After all, the silver arrow were limited and couldn’t be re-used again. However, he could fetch back the iron arrows.
IN the period that snake tailed crocodile’s body fell, Dudian continously had shot six arrows! Six successful hits!
The snake tailed crocodile rolled on ground and scread for a mont. But it gradually stopped its movent. The blood oozed out from its wound and reddened the grass. There were six or seven arrows that had pierced its head. Its scalp was tingling.
Dudian waited for a mont to see the monster to co to complete halt. He carefully went forward. He grabbed a stone and hit it when he was around forty or fifty ters away from the monster.
The snake tailed crocile which seed to be dead roared the mont stones hit its head. Its mouth bit but there was no catch.
The last bite seed to be the result of its last strength that was squuezed out. Afterwards its head heavily knocked onto the ground and it once again stopped moving.
Dudian thought that he was fortunate as he tried the stone hitting thod. The monster was cunning. However it lacked the patience that human hunter’s had. For example bloody swordsman Linda was able to endure the pain until the last mont. The patience and tolerance seed to be charasterstic that belonged to humans!
