However, the sucker-footed bat didn't seem to be killed. When it fell from the branch, it flapped its wings and tried to take off.
But immediately after, three more blood flowers burst out from its body.
Four bullets hit him, leaving no chance of survival.
As a second-level spirit beast, the Sucking Foot Bat didn't even know where the enemy was or who it was, so he just fell to the ground and twitched slightly.
"Okay, it's solved. Two hundred meters ahead, send someone to retrieve the body of the sucking bat." Duke put away the sand eagle and spoke calmly.
Zina and others were a little confused.
I didn't see any big moves from Duke. He didn't even cast any arcane spells, so why was the Foot-Sucking Bat killed?
However, out of recognition for the arcane mage, Zina still sent someone to pick up the body.
A minute later, two knights carried a sucking-footed bat the size of a big goose and ran back in surprise: "Sir, captain, it's this guy. It's this guy who hurt the brothers!"
Xina and the four knights looked at each other, and then looked at Duke with a hint of fanaticism.
"This is the arcane mage!"
The great knights shouted in their hearts.
It's not like they haven't seen arcane mages take action, especially the arcane mages on the airship. There is a burst of arcane bombing far away.
The visual effect looks amazing.
But walking with Duke, I almost didn't see clearly how Duke took action. The second-ringed spirit beast-sucking bat died. There was no shocking visual effect, but it still had a shocking psychological shock.
Regarding the reaction of the mercenaries, Duke turned his head slightly and had a panoramic view.
There is definitely a secret feeling in my heart.
Who doesn’t like to appear in front of others and enjoy worship.
But at the same time, a vague sense of superiority also emerged in his heart. He had even killed a few third-ring spirit beasts, so how could a mere second-ring spirit beast be considered.
Calmly adjusting his collar, Duke said calmly: "Let's go to the next spiritual beast territory and try to hunt a few more spiritual beasts before dark."
"Yes, sir!"
Zina and others responded excitedly.
Skillfully moving through the forest, I have been adventuring in Cuihai Valley for more than a year, and I can clearly see where the situation is.
Not long after, several more corpses of 2-ring spirit beasts appeared in the team.
Fortunately, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd level spirit beasts are similar to ordinary beasts, and their size is not exaggerated, so one knight can carry several spirit beast corpses.
Only after the 3rd ring evolves to the 4th ring and breaks certain boundaries, the size of the spirit beast will continue to exaggerate and become larger.
"Sir, there is a small lake ahead, and there is a 3-ring spirit beast - Swamp Crocodile. Many mercenary groups are trying to get it, but no one has succeeded yet. This guy has thick skin and thick flesh, and is resistant to arcane magic.
Very high."
Everyone walked to a small lake. Zina pointed to the flat land beside the lake and continued to introduce: "You can't go any further in front of it. It's all swamp mud and it's easy to sink in."
Duke looked at the calm lake and asked: "Is there any way to lure this swamp crocodile out?"
Zina patted the corpse of a 2-ring spirit beast that she had hunted before: "You can use the rhinoplasty mole beast. The blood of the rhinoplasty mole beast has a strong smell, and the crocodile can smell it underwater."
"Then let's bleed and seduce."
Several knights directly separated the blood vessels of the snub-nosed mole's neck and released large balls of smelly blood - the prey that Duke shot and killed. Because the bullet holes were not large, the amount of bleeding was very small, so the blood was preserved.
.
Wait for a moment.
The originally calm lake suddenly became rippled, and then a huge crocodile slowly climbed up from the lake to the swamp.
It is not much different from a normal crocodile, except that it is rich in spirituality and interferes more strongly with the respiratory resonance of surrounding plants.
This is a 3-ring spirit beast.
When the swamp crocodile got further and further away from the lake, Duke, who was already hiding in a big tree, shot the crocodile in the eye without hesitation.
Poof!
A bullet hit accurately.
The eyes of the Swamp Bay crocodile burst on the spot, and blood and tears were mixed together and splashed everywhere.
The swamp bay crocodile, which was in pain, rolled over on the spot and let out a dull cry of uh uh uh. It directly abandoned the carcass of the rhinoceros mole in front of it and fled towards the small lake.
Duke didn't hesitate at all, and kept pulling the trigger. The bullets seemed to be free of charge, and he dealt a heavy blow to the escaping swamp crocodile.
However, the Swamp Bay crocodile is wearing armor, and the effect of bullets hitting it does not seem to be very strong.
Every bullet did not penetrate into the armor, but the damage was very limited.
"It's really hard, harder than the shell of a burrowing army ant!" Duke fired off thirty rounds of bullets, quickly changed to a magazine, and continued output.
At the same time.
Seeing that the Swamp Bay Crocodile was trying to escape, Zina had already called out the mercenaries lying in ambush around it. They swarmed up and used various long-range fighting skills to attack the Swamp Bay Crocodile head-on.
"Ice pick, release the ice pick!" Zina shouted again.
Then he threw out a spirit card, which was activated and quickly shot out a blue frozen arrow, hitting the forelimbs of the Swamp Bay crocodile.
The ice exploded, and the forelimbs of the Swamp Bay crocodile were instantly frozen.
But in the next second, the forelimbs of the Swamp Bay crocodile broke through the ice and continued to escape towards the small lake ahead.
It is true that it is a powerful third-ring spirit beast, but when faced with a well-prepared ambush, it still decided to escape first.
However, among the mercenaries, several have already thrown out level 1 arcane cards - ice pick cards.
Countless ice pick-shaped arrows hit the Swamp Crocodile. Although they could not successfully freeze it, they could greatly restrict its movement.
Let it freeze in place.
Duke, who was on the tree, had no time to change his ammunition, and then thirty rounds of bullets poured down, some of which were accurately shot from the eye sockets.
There is no doubt that this has dealt a heavy blow to the Swamp Bay crocodile.
"Uh huh..." The Swamp Crocodile turned around, opened its mouth, and a huge water column spurted out, attacking the mercenaries outside.
The mercenary had already run away quickly when it opened its mouth. When the water column hit, he jumped directly to avoid it perfectly.
Boom!
The water column collided with countless big trees, and suddenly opened up an open space that looked like it had been hit by a train.
"3rd ring arcana - water column epee!"
Xiaoyi quickly gave the information about this arcana on the Dou Qi holographic screen.
Duke was fully focused on the Sand Eagle scope in his hand and was indifferent to this arcane technique. When the Swamp Bay Crocodile turned around to release the arcane technique, he fired three shots.
Three bullets, like the death-hunting god, were accurately shot into the eye socket.
Pfft!
Brains splashed out along the eye sockets.
The Swamp Bay Crocodile had no time to release the second arcane spell. Its high head fell heavily and it lay motionless on the ground.
Dead.
"Hoo!" After blowing on the non-existent smoke from the muzzle, Duke jumped up and jumped down from a tree dozens of meters high.
Fighting energy gathers in the legs, and the strength is perfectly released.
After landing firmly, he walked towards the Swamp Bay Crocodile, surrounded by mercenaries from the Broken Sword Mercenary Group, cheering for this successful hunt.
"3 rings!"
"The Swamp Bay Crocodile is dead!"
"Lord Duke is invincible!"
"Salute to Master Arcane!"
"Wonderful!"
Since the founding of Broken Sword, this is not the first time that we have hunted 3-ring spirit beasts. With the cooperation of the Cantharis Army, we have hunted 3-ring spirit beasts - Crypt Army Ants.
However, burrowing army ants are social spiritual beasts, and the strength of each individual is not much stronger than a 2-ring spiritual beast.
And this time.
This is the first time Broken Sword has hunted a complete third-ring spirit beast!
