"Protect Long Chen!"
When Feng You saw countless golden monkeys charging at Long Chen, Feng You shouted loudly. At the same time, countless wild beasts began to gather in the direction Long Chen was located.
Clearly, the wild beast clan was not very bright, but that group of golden monkeys had spotted Long Chen and immediately issued orders to eliminate him immediately.
"Rumble rumble... At
that moment, both the Wild Beast clan and the Fusion Beast clan began to gather around Long Chen, and the scene instantly descended into chaos.
"Tch, so what if we find it?" Long Chen curled his lips and raised his hand to shoot an arrow.
"Awooo...
Long Chen's arrow missed, hitting the butt of a Saint Wild Beast. It howled in pain, but it wasn't fatal.
"After all, they're not as skilled as Guo Ran. Otherwise, these guys would just cover their butts and wail for me!" Long Chen couldn't help but sigh to himself.
Although he had played with bows and crossbows before, Long Chen hadn't put much effort into them. His archery techniques were all relatively simple.
This place was full of experts, and he couldn't possibly lock onto it. Otherwise, before the arrow was even released, the enemy would sense it and make it even harder to shoot.
The reason Long Chen had been able to succeed repeatedly before wasn't because his marksmanship was exceptional, but because the "targets" were all very large and unexpected, resulting in nearly every hit of the target.
Now, this group had noticed him and started to guard against him. Long Chen was starting to feel overwhelmed, shooting several arrows in a row—either staying away from vital spots or dodging them, which greatly annoyed him.
"If a hidden arrow doesn't work, then use an open arrow."
Long Chen was furious. Suddenly, the golden crossbow several zhang long in his hand instantly swelled to several hundred zhang, like a small mountain.
This is the most primitive and strongest state of the Golden Crossbow. Usually, at the start of the battle, Guo Ran uses it for long-range targeted targeting, with precise precision, specifically to kill powerful opponents.
However, at its strongest, it was incredibly heavy. Even with Guo Ran wearing armor, he couldn't lift it, so he could only build a high platform to set it up for use.
However, this weight was nothing to Long Chen, though it required both hands to support it steadily.
With a loud explosion, a massive arrow, three times thicker than a person's waist, whistled through the air. The air swirled, and the sound of tearing through the air tore through eardrums. As soon as the arrow left the crossbow, it struck the mouth of a wild beast, producing a loud explosion.
The immense force directly shattered half the beast's mouth, leaving it a bloody mess. In pain, the beast was seized by the Saints of the Fusion Beast Clan and killed in one strike.
"Boom boom boom... Long
Chen fired arrows repeatedly. Each time he fired, his arms went numb from the impact. This thing was simply not suitable to hold. When Guo Ran fired it back then, he also needed a formation to absorb the force; otherwise, he couldn't handle it.
Although the recoil is astonishing, its lethality is equally impressive. Especially when the arrow leaves the crossbow, the piercing sonic boom erupts that stirs the blood and is extremely satisfying.
The wild beast was huge. Although Long Chen's archery skills were average, with such a big target, it was hard to miss. Even if he missed the vital spot, it was enough to give the opponent a serious blow.
Most importantly, he was accompanied by powerful members of the Beast Fusion Clan. Whenever his opponent was struck by an arrow, they seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, forcing them to retreat repeatedly.
If Long Chen happened to hit a vital spot, the Fusion Beast clan's strong warriors would attack desperately, seizing the opportunity until the opponent was killed.
For a moment, the entire battlefield began to be dominated by Long Chen. The strong warriors of the Wild Beast Clan were slaughtered one after another. As the tide shifted, the Fusion Beast Clan quickly gained the upper hand.
Long Chen also noticed that although the Fusion Beast Clan was formidable, in terms of individual strength, they were far inferior to the experts of the Tianxie Sect.
The reason the Beast Fusion Clan was at a disadvantage at first was partly because they were caught off guard by being killed, and partly because they had just fought a bloody battle with the Tianxie Sect and had not yet recovered.
Now, with a golden giant crossbow, Long Chen was turning the tide, allowing the Fusion Beast Clan to suppress the Wild Beast Clan. Although the Fusion Beast Clan were exhausted soldiers, their fighting spirit was overwhelming and they were incredibly brave. The ground was littered with the corpses of the Wild Beast Clan's strongest warriors.
"Watch out!"
At that moment, a powerful member of the Beast Fusion Clan who had previously cooperated with Long Chen cried out in alarm.
"Screech."
Long Chen was still enjoying his fiery shooting when suddenly a monkey's cry came from behind. A bone blade about a foot long tore through the air, stabbing straight at Long Chen's back.
It was a monkey about three feet tall, its fur golden and fur, eyes blood-red, and its canine teeth turned outward, exuding a fierce look. It wielded a bone knife about a foot long, stabbing fiercely. The strong warriors who had tried to intercept it were all knocked back by it.
Long Chen was startled. This seemingly inconspicuous monkey exuded an extremely terrifying aura. Aside from the two monkeys besieging Feng You, it was probably the strongest among the younger generation.
Seeing the monkey stab at him, runes swirling on the bone knife like venom flowing, radiating a terrifying pressure. Long Chen knew this bone knife was definitely extraordinary.
"Clang"
Facing the monkey's strike, Long Chen didn't block head-on. Instead, he dodged backward and blocked with his crossbow arm. The crossbow arm was huge, like a doorpost, easily blocking the strike.
With a crisp "crack
," Long Chen didn't expect that a piece of the crossbow arm would be shattered by the bone blade. The seemingly inconspicuous bone blade was actually a sacred artifact-level existence.
"Jiji ji... The
golden monkey missed its strike, suddenly twisted its body, nimbly dodged the giant crossbow, and slashed the bone blade straight at Long Chen's throat, moving with unparalleled speed and ruthless ruthlessness.
"Whoosh."
Long Chen dodged the first strike, ignoring the golden monkey's second move. With a flick of his left hand, red powder flew out, filling the golden monkey's vision.
"Jiwawa...
The golden monkey let out a fierce scream, covering its eyes with one hand and grabbing the bone knife with the other, wildly stabbing at it.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
The Fusion Beast Clan experts who had originally planned to rescue Long Chen caught a pungent smell in their noses, feeling intense pain in their nostrils and throat, as if thousands of ants were crawling—both painful and itchy, and they quickly retreated.
"Tch, I thought it would be so strong. One handful of spicy flower powder is done." Long Chen said disdainfully.
The powder Long Chen released was a sacred herb obtained from the Tianxie Sect. This herb was a potent medicine, with pollen and spiciness that would rot on contact with flesh and ignite on grass and wood. Most terrifyingly, it was not poisonous in itself, making it impossible for people to sense danger and thus unable to avoid it instinctively.
The monkey was too close to Long Chen, and the pollen was directly in its eyes. The intense pain nearly made it collapse on the spot—the feeling was worse than being cut to pieces.
"Get lost!"
Long Chen swept across the giant crossbow, and the golden monkey, now lost in vision and in disarray, was struck by a crossbowIt swept away.
"Puff puff puff...
As
it flew, it immediately fell into the crowd of Fusion Beast Clan experts, devouring countless weapons in an instant.
