Chapter 23 - Chapter 22 The hyena herd

Arthur's hand holding the bow trembled slightly, out of excitement rather than fear.

Judging from the reactions of Keynes and the mercenaries, the next battle will never be simple. It was his first mission to encounter such a battle, and the young man's heart was beating loudly.

Soon, Angus' figure appeared in Arthur's field of vision. Angus ran wildly and looked back from time to time.

In Arthur's opinion, Angus looked a little embarrassed when he was running, and he even couldn't help but want to laugh, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Cairns and the surrounding mercenaries all looked serious.

"Fight, fight, it's Bi Jiang!" Angus' almost tearing voice came over.

Only then did Arthur see clearly that Angus was running for his life. Behind Angus, waves of gray-white waves were chasing him crazily, as if they could engulf him at any time.

What kind of waves are there? They are clearly a herd of small gray-white beasts!

As they got closer, the ferocious looks of these little beasts called Bihyenas were clearly imprinted in Arthur's eyes.

Bihar is slightly smaller than the tame hounds of the human race, and its mouth is full of sharp canine teeth. The hair on the entire head is white, but the hair on the back of the neck turns gray. The most peculiar thing is that these little beasts have two fluffy long tails like fox tails. The two long tails swing rapidly, allowing Bi Hui to glide quickly against the ground in short distances while running. Even the speed of fifth-level War Lieutenant Angus is only slightly faster than the speed of these little beasts.

Bihar is a creature between a beast and a first-level monster. The reason why it cannot be defined as a first-level monster is because there is a dispute within the Magician's Guild.

Humanity's definition of Warcraft is that such creatures must have innate magic skills, but Bi Jiang does not have innate magic. But Bi Jiang has the ability of bloodthirsty. In the bloodthirsty state, Bi Jiang's vitality and attack power will be doubled, and he will not stop dying during the hunting process. The mainstream view in the magician union is that bloodthirsty does not belong to the category of magic. However, many magicians believe that bloodthirsty is a branch of dark magic. However, this view is not accepted by the mainstream because the inheritance of dark magic on the mainland has been cut off for many years. Thousands of years.

No matter how the Magicians Union characterizes Bi Jiang, old mercenaries like Keynes know deeply how terrifying these small beasts are. Because of their terrifying speed and ferocious habits, the small mercenary team was wiped out when they encountered the Bi Human group.

The hyenas were getting closer and closer, and there were hundreds of hyenas chasing behind Angus. Their low growls as they ran made people shudder.

"Little beasts, come on!" Tony cursed in a low voice and pulled the trigger. With a bang, a crossbow arrow wrapped in fighting spirit was shot out quickly.

The special steel crossbow of the human army has an effective range of 150 meters. The crossbow arrow flew past Angus, but was stuck diagonally on the ground in front of the Bi hyena group.

Tony took a long breath, and then shot the second arrow calmly.

A cluster of blood splashed in the group of Bi hyenas, and the Bi hyena running at the front fell to the ground.

Instead of stopping the beasts, the blood completely aroused Bi Human's ferocity. Their speed suddenly increased, and their low roars almost turned into roars.

A little blood puts the entire herd into a bloodthirsty state!

"Tony, you bastard, you want to kill me!" Angus yelled. His speed was only slightly faster than the herd, but the bloodthirsty Bi Human increased his speed and caught up with Angus in the blink of an eye. , biting towards his butt.

Tony rubbed his nose in embarrassment, then pulled the trigger again, and another cluster of blood splashed among the herd.

Tony laughed and threw the steel crossbow to the ground, "Brothers, shoot, otherwise Angus's ass will be saved."

After Tony fired three arrows, the herd had already rushed into the optimal shooting range within a hundred meters. Following Tony's greeting, crossbow arrows swished out with the sound of wind.

The mercenaries deliberately avoided Angus when shooting. Clusters of blood flowers bloomed one after another behind him, and the manes fell down one after another.

Behind the running man was a blossoming red blood, and a strange beauty appeared on the killing battlefield. This made Arthur feel a little dazed, and he forgot to shoot arrows for a moment.

"Arthur!" Keynes's growl brought Arthur back to reality.

Arthur's face turned red, and he hurriedly opened his bow and shot the first arrow, but the arrow was really wrong.

The mercenaries fired three rounds of crossbows as quickly as possible, then dropped the steel crossbows on the ground like Tony, and drew out shields, swords, axes and other melee weapons.

While crossbow arrows have the advantages of greater lethality and higher hit rate, they also have unavoidable disadvantages, which is that the winding time is long, and the best steel crossbow can only shoot three arrows in a row. With one crossbow arrow, the steel crossbow becomes a piece of scrap metal, and there is no time to re-string it on the battlefield.

The mercenaries did not have Tony's ability to kill with one arrow. Three rounds of crossbow volleys only killed dozens of Bi hyenas at the front. The herd had already rushed within fifty meters.

Arthur, who was standing next to Keynes, shot the second and third arrows one after another. This time, he didn't miss the mark again. One arrow shot directly into Bi Jiang's mouth, and the other arrow also nailed Bi Jiang to the ground.

Arthur never had the chance to shoot the fourth arrow. The forward of the beast wave had already collided hard with the first row of mercenaries.

The mercenaries did not rush out rashly, but stood still in formation, waving their weapons and killing Bi Jiang head after head.

Following the orc camp a few years ago, Arthur once again experienced the attack and killing of the Blue Fairy mercenaries at close range like an army.

Each of the mercenaries standing in a row only faced the attack of one Bi Lien. When Bi Lien rushed from the side, the mercenaries next to or behind him would take the initiative to stop them.

Angus and Tony, who had returned to the formation, quickly moved among the front row, making up one or two cuts at key positions from time to time.

A first-level Bi Human faced a third-level mercenary. Without a numerical advantage to form a siege, no matter how ferocious these beasts were, they could not escape the fate of being slaughtered. Soon, every mercenary in the first row was in front of them. Three or four bodies were piled up.

Most of the beasts were killed in a blink of an eye, but these Bi hyenas still rushed forward without fear of death. Even if their abdomen was penetrated by a sword, they still stretched their necks to bite the mercenaries' arms. They were extremely vicious. Many mercenaries, All decorated.

The herd also tried to bypass the mercenaries in the front and attack the team from both sides, but was also stopped by the well-prepared mercenaries.

When the herd was killed and only a few dozen animals were left, the remaining Bi hyenas finally became frightened and began to turn around and flee.

During the whole process, Keynes, Adeline and Ilya, who were hiding in the dark, did not take action, and Keynes also stopped the mercenaries from chasing the remaining herds.

This victory did not bring any joy to Keynes. Looking at the corpses on the ground, Keynes's brows were still frowning. "I encountered a group of monsters just after entering the mountain. It seems that this mission is destined to not go smoothly..." "
