Chapter 62: The information is incorrect!
Whoosh!
The arrow was fired and hit the molten iron beast that pounced on Shi Lan from behind.
Seeing that he was struggling to get up, Shen Mo could only nock an arrow and charge up the Demon Fang Arrow again.
A moment later, he released the bowstring, and the arrow struck the iron-melting beast's eye precisely, penetrating deep into its eye.
The Iron-Melting Beast stiffened, then completely fell silent.
[You have hunted a total of 265 monsters. Reward: 1 point of Battle Skill Enhancement!]
......
Upon receiving the kill notification from "The Demon Hunter's Handbook," Shen Mo simply opened it.
My gaze quickly swept over [Piercing Arrow 0/1 (Beginner)] and [Crescent Slash 0/1 (Beginner)]...
Touching the hunting bow in his hand, Shen Mo pondered for a moment, and finally used the 6 points of combat skill enhancement he had just earned on the combat skill Crescent Slash.
Half-moon slash 0/4 (proficient)
Afterwards, Shen Mo spent another 8 skill points to upgrade his swordsmanship.
[Swordsmanship LV18 (Expert)]
......
Shen Mo chose to enhance his Crescent Slash and swordsmanship.
One reason is that the hunting bow he had was too ordinary.
No matter how strong one's combat skills or how high one's archery skills are, the power that can be exerted is still limited.
And Shen Mo's best equipment right now.
Aside from the leather armor he was wearing, all he had was this longsword in his hand, which was enchanted with G-grade sharpness and toughness.
On the other hand, Shen Mo's movement technique has reached LV20.
Only by combining his skills with close-combat techniques such as swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat can his full potential be realized...
He put down the bow and quiver, and silently drew his long sword.
Amidst the surprised expressions of the six guards, they rushed towards the battlefield where Shi Lan was single-handedly holding on.
Sprint!
Suddenly, Shen Mo rushed to the front of a molten iron beast.
The magic, both strange and familiar, flowed and enhanced the longsword in Shen Mo's hand.
Half-moon slash!
The next moment—*sizzle!*
On the dimly lit battlefield, a crescent moon suddenly appeared, sweeping across the neck of the Iron-Melting Beast.
The armor of the Iron-Melting Beast, which bullets couldn't penetrate, was sliced open like paper by Shen Mo's blade.
His entire head was severed, and dark green blood gushed out!
A sense of comfort welled up in Shen Mo's heart, and his steps became lighter.
His figure rushed towards the remaining four molten iron beasts like a ghost, his long sword either whistling through the air or leaving a sliver of crescent moon in its wake.
In just a few breaths, under the dumbfounded gazes of the guards, the remaining four molten iron beasts were killed one by one!
[You have hunted 5 Iron-Melting Beasts, rewarding you with 1 skill enhancement point!]
[You have hunted a total of 270 monsters. Reward: 1 point of Battle Skill Enhancement!]
......
Shen Mo swiftly and decisively dealt with the Iron-Melting Beast.
Shi Lan, now that she had a free hand, erupted instantly.
"drink!"
He let out a roar, as if venting his frustration at being surrounded.
Shi Lan swung his battle axe, sending the steel-corroding beast flying while severing its forelimbs and carving a gruesome wound into its abdomen.
hiss--
The steel-corroding beast fell to the ground, letting out a sharp and mournful long screech.
Shi Lan stepped forward, about to kill the Corroded Steel Beast, when she heard Shen Mo's urgent voice:
"let me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Lan paused, then felt a gust of wind pass by.
Then, Shen Mo rushed to the Corrosive Steel Beast, slashing his longsword at its neck, leaving a fleeting crescent moon mark.
puff-
The head of the Steel-Eroding Beast hit the ground, and blood gushed out.
The Tier 2 monster "Steel-Eating Beast" has been added to the Iron-Melting Beast page, and rewards players with 2 points of Constitution attribute enhancement!
......
Seeing the joy on Shen Mo's face after sheathing his sword, Shi Lan said in surprise:
"You learned the Crescent Slash so quickly?"
"Um!"
Shen Mo nodded, then lied through his teeth, saying, "When I tried using it yesterday, it was still a bit of a struggle."
Just now, it was like an epiphany; I suddenly understood the essence of the Crescent Slash...
A sudden realization?
Is that even a claim?
Shi Lan looked bewildered, wanting to ask more questions, when Shen Mo suddenly said in a serious tone:
"Monsters are coming, and there are a lot of them! Let's go to the corridor!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Lan didn't bother to ask any more questions and quickly retreated back into the corridor with Shen Mo.
At this moment, she also heard the continuous hooting sounds and quickly said to the guards:
"Replace the flares!"
Hearing Shi Lan's urgent tone, the guards dared not delay and quickly added two more flares to the hall.
Bang bang!
A strong white light spread out, illuminating the hall as if it were daytime.
In the next instant, one after another, iron-melting beasts emerged from several passages.
There are a great many of them, at least seventy or eighty!
In addition, there are eight Steel-Eroding Beasts!
"Holy crap, how come there are so many!"
Upon seeing this, Shi Lan swore and her face turned ugly.
The six guards also looked nervous and at a loss.
Shen Mo gripped the long sword, his expression filled with doubt and uncertainty.
He really enjoys doing Warcraft clan quests.
However, this is on the premise that the difficulty of the task is within one's own capabilities.
But the current situation has exceeded all of their expectations.
The number of Iron-Melting Beasts is not too bad.
What truly unsettled Shen Mo and Shi Lan was that, normally, only the Gold-Eating Beasts could lead a swarm of Iron-Melting Beasts of this size!
"The intelligence is wrong. We should withdraw from the outpost first..." Shi Lan said sternly.
But before they could finish speaking, a steel-corroding beast in the hall let out a hiss in their direction.
The next moment, all the molten iron beasts rushed over in a swarm.
The eight steel-corroding beasts also puffed out their mouthparts, spraying the highly corrosive viscous liquid at the crowd in turn.
"Damn it! Get out of the way!"
Shi Lan cursed angrily, reminding everyone.
She and Shen Mo had amazing physical abilities, and the long-range firing speed of the corrosive slime was relatively average, so they easily dodged it.
But the garrison soldiers were not as agile as them.
The narrow corridor offered them little room to maneuver, so they could only hurriedly run backward.
One unlucky guy was hit by a blob of slime while running away with his back turned.
It immediately let out a piercing scream and rolled on the ground in pain.
Soon, the flesh, bones, and internal organs on his back melted away; the corpse continued to decompose even after death...
The other five guards, seeing their comrade's horrific state, turned pale and their legs trembled with fear.
Shen Mo and Shi Lan, on the other hand, had already engaged in combat with the Iron-Melting Beast.
The limited space of the long corridor actually restricted the numerical advantage of the Iron-Melting Beasts.
The two of them could face a maximum of five molten iron beasts at the same time in the corridor without becoming overwhelmed.
Most ordinary iron-melting beasts could be killed with a single strike by Shen Mo and Shi Lan in their current state.
In just a short while, Shen Mo had killed seven Iron-Melting Beasts, while Shi Lan had killed even more...
However, because they had to be distracted by the corrosive slime of the Steel-Eating Beast, the two were somewhat hesitant and could not act freely.
The existence of that gold-devouring beast, whether real or not, hung like a sword over their heads, preventing either of them from relaxing their guard in the slightest...
As for the remaining five guards, they were of no help whatsoever.
Shi Lan simply sent them out of the outpost first, so that those outside could prepare to face the Gold-Eating Beast...
She originally wanted Shen Mo to leave as well, while she stayed behind to cover their retreat, but Shen Mo refused.
It wasn't that he was showing off; Shen Mo's movement skills were even better than Shi Lan's, so leaving wouldn't be difficult for him.
He simply felt that, without the Gold-Eating Beasts, this corridor was an excellent place to hunt demons, not to be missed...
