The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 28 Snake Man
  "puff!"

"Pfft!!"

"Be careful!!"

Just as they were about to leave the Tagan Desert, Allen and the others suddenly encountered an ambush. Dozens of javelins dropped from the sky and were inserted around Allen and the others, causing a commotion in the caravan, and several unlucky guys were shot by the javelins. , holding the wound and moaning and moaning.

If it weren't for Allen's quick eyesight and quick hands, when he sensed something was wrong, his two-handed swords danced together in front of his eyes, knocking away a heavy and powerful javelin, and he might not have been able to escape the consequences of injury. As for the ten bugbear warriors around him, except for one of them who suffered a shallow wound from a javelin, the others were not seriously injured. However, they also performed extremely poorly at this time, and their eyes were wandering in a piece of khaki desert. I scanned around, but couldn't find where the crisis came from.

On the other hand, Regis and his team of human mercenaries, the eight members who still maintained combat effectiveness at this time, formed a circular formation as soon as they discovered the ambush, surrounding the convoy of their employer Fili. And knocked away several javelins that were fired later. While the formation was being constructed, Jim, the scout in the human mercenary team, quickly discovered the enemy's hiding place with his excellent eyesight, and shouted loudly: "The enemy is behind the sand dunes 8 yards southeast."

When Allen heard the warning, he no longer hesitated and rushed out immediately. The performance gap between the two teams of fighters made Allen feel shameless and thought he could regain his position. The javelin fired by the opponent seemed to be quite powerful, but when Allen blocked the javelin, he had already calculated and realized that dealing with this group of enemies would not be a big problem.

"Attention, Allen, it's the Desert Snake Gang!"

Regis did not stop the charge of Allen and his tribe, but followed Jim's alarm and after detecting the enemy's figure, he gave Allen information support.

"The desert snake people are good at using poison, so be careful about the poison on their weapons."

However, Regis quickly realized that due to the harsh living environment and their powerful digestive systems, the goblins were extremely resistant to common toxins and were far less vulnerable than humans.

"I know, boys, kill these cold-blooded things for me!!"

Due to their cold-blooded relationship, snake people generally like to live in desert environments with huge temperature differences, but they have appeared in other places in the wilderness. Although it is not the first time for Allen and the others to see each other's true appearance, it can be regarded as the first time. Face to face with the opponent for the first time.

"Wow!!"

The bugbears let out weird screams, stepped on the soft sand with their feet, and raised up a long line of earth-yellow flying dust. The weapons in their hands were circled around their bodies, knocking away the javelins, or He simply twisted his body to easily dodge these swift javelins.

At least in terms of individual strength, the combat effectiveness shown by the bugbears has somewhat regained some ground, making Allen's face a little more glorious. The distance of 200 yards seemed long, but under Allen's and others' extremely fast charge without any regard for physical strength, in just two or three breaths, they came close to blending in with the khaki desert, making it difficult to detect. Among the snake gang.     “Hiss, hiss!!”

The snake man's slippery skin is full of luster, and his body is covered with fine scales. He opens his mouth with a slender and forked tongue, sensing changes in the surrounding environment. The graceful bodies twist from time to time, but they have an exotic feel. But if you look at their lower bodies, the thick and long snake tail will make people involuntarily get goosebumps.

Two seemingly slender arms held a slender stabbing sword in one hand. Several javelins that could not be fired were stuck diagonally in the sand beside them, and a snake man hissed in the mouth. Following the command, more than a dozen snakemen opened their big eyes and stared at the bugbear warriors with their narrow, vertical pupils. Their cold gazes caused the temperature of the surrounding environment to drop several degrees.

The bugbears don't care how scary the ghostly postures of these snake-men are. The so-called rushing is their best fighting style. If they fail to gain the upper hand in the first wave of attacks, the bugbears will start when they are slightly at a disadvantage. Back off. However, it is obvious that the strength of the snakemen on the opposite side is not too outstanding. When the eleven bugbears and 17-8 snakemen clashed for the first time, they were evenly matched. The warriors from both sides fought against each other as they came and went. Deadlocked.

The fighting style of bugbears is to strike straight and straight, but the snakemen rely on their agility and the twisting snake tail on the lower body to have an advantage on the soft sand. The two sides seem to be fighting fiercely, but in fact Usually, bugbears attack 5-6 times before colliding with the opponent's weapon. More often, the snake man relies on his agile body shape to turn the two stabbing swords in his hands into sword flowers, looking for them like a snake spitting messages. The bugbears' exploits.

It wasn't until Regis rushed up with three mercenaries and joined the battle group that the situation gradually changed, gradually tilting in the direction of the human caravan.

Allen slashed the leader of the snake men diagonally with his sword. The smooth snake scales almost removed half of the kinetic energy of Allen's sword. As the opponent's body twisted like a ghost, the sword went straight as if it was not exerting any force. He walked on the sand, splashing up balls of gravel. However, the opponent is not uninjured. Although it seems that most of the strength has been relieved, the two-handed weapons bring more impact. That is, the snake-man's own snake scale defense is not bad, but the internal structure is also flesh and blood, and it is shocked. It was uncomfortable to get down. The snake-man and snake-tail slid out of an S-shape on the sand and quickly retreated a few yards away, widening the distance from Allen.

Allen himself didn't feel well either. The opponent's stabbing movements were ghostly, like the poisonous needle at the tail of a wild bee, often piercing through the blind area of ​​Allen's sight. When Allen discovered it, it was probably too late, and it was difficult to dodge. It's embarrassment. In particular, the opponent's attacks were from left and right, and his movements were even more swift and agile, causing several minor injuries to Allen in a short period of time. Fortunately, Allen's skin was rough and his flesh was rough. Although he didn't have time to take care of the injury, he had already started to close his mouth to stop the bleeding. The toxin on the opponent's stabbing sword seemed to have no obvious effect. In addition to Allen feeling a little dry, his mouth was dry and his eyes were dim. , there is no feeling anymore, at least these reactions will not affect the battle.

The addition of Regis and the others gave a breakthrough to the originally stalemate. The human mercenaries, who had more combat experience than the bugbears, were able to face the attacks of the snake-men with ease. They often cooperated with the bugbears' attacks. The offensive attack left a series of shallow or deep wounds on the snake men's bodies. After a while, 2-3 snake men fell to the ground.

"Fizz!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, the leader of the snake men stopped entangled. After escaping Allen's attack again, he issued instructions in his mouth. Then the snake men on the sand raised their snake tails and slapped fiercely on the sand. Sweeping, countless sand grains raised a curtain of sand, covering the battlefield. By the time the battlefield regained its true appearance, more than a dozen snakemen had long since disappeared. Only traces of sand were left on the desert in the distance that quickly spread forward and quickly disappeared behind the dunes.

"Stop chasing!"

Regis stopped Allen and the others from their eager moves. The war always comes suddenly and ends quickly. Fortunately, most of the bugbears only have minor injuries, but there are no other serious problems. This is also thanks to the strong physique of the bugbears. , with their superior resistance to poison.
