After much consideration, Dean still had no choice. If he did not move forward, he could only retreat. He could only continue to go deeper into the ruins alone.
This time, he took the initiative to quietly explore the nearest place without the smell of the undead. He stopped three or four kilometers away and unloaded the gunpowder boxes. He took out one of the gunpowder boxes and fixed it in a concave pile of corpses. Then he drew a fuse with the black fire in the other gunpowder box and poured the excess gunpowder on top of the gunpowder box. Then he tidied up the surrounding terrain and arranged a hunting trap.
After doing this, Dean quietly touched the place where the smell came from.
As the distance got closer, he became more nervous. If this monster was good at speed and had a strong physique, he was worried that he would not have the chance to run to the trap. Although the probability was low, it was still life-threatening.
When he was close to a kilometer away, Dean still did not have any big reaction to the smell. He could only get closer again. When the distance was four or five hundred meters, he suddenly smelled the smell moving toward him at high speed.
Dean turned around and ran away.
While he was running, he smelled the scent, and the distance between him and himself was not shortened. Only then did he feel a little relieved. When he came to an area with sparse weeds, he looked back and saw a large reptile chasing him. It looked like a lizard, but also like an insect. He had seen this monster in the monster atlas. It was a level-12 horned lizard.
It was an omnivorous monster. It ate both grass and meat, but preferred grass.
Dean looked at its crocodile-like bloody mouth and immediately turned to stop. He quickly put an iron arrow and waited for it to enter the range of two hundred meters before shooting.
Puff! The iron arrow hit the top of its head, piercing the scales and penetrating a few inches.
The horned lizard felt pain and immediately stopped. It turned around and ran toward the place with more weeds.
Dean immediately caught up and shot an arrow at the same time.
However, when the prey was running, he was also running, so it was extremely difficult to shoot. The second arrow suddenly missed. He continued to put the third arrow and kept shooting while chasing.
After four or five hundred meters — —
Suddenly, the horned lizard that was fleeing in panic in front of him suddenly stopped and stood in front of a bush. It seemed to be thinking about where to go.
Dean saw it stop, immediately seized this excellent opportunity, quickly nocked an arrow and aimed! However, before he could shoot the arrow, a scene that suddenly appeared caused his expression to change greatly. He saw that in the grass in front of this horned lizard, a bloody mouth suddenly opened wide and bit down on the terrified horned lizard's upper body!
The lower half of the horned lizard hurriedly struggled and twisted, its tail incessantly swaying, but the bloody mouth slowly lifted up, letting the lizard's body slide into its throat. At the same time, it swayed left and right, and very quickly, the lizard's body completely fell into its mouth. Blood sputtered out from the corner of its mouth, dripping onto the grass half a meter tall below.
Dudian saw it clearly. It was a snake tail magic crocodile! A Level 19 Hunter!
Even a senior hunter would need to be careful in order to kill it!
Run?
Of course he had to run!
But before running, Dean only hesitated for a moment. He plucked up his courage and quickly pulled out a mercury arrow from the quiver. He aimed at its chewing mouth and shot it.
The arrow streaked across the sky and pierced into its mouth.
The snake tail magic crocodile roared in pain, and its bloody eyes stared at Dean in the distance. It was full of anger at the little guy who disturbed its meal. It swallowed the horned lizard that had been chewed into pieces and ran toward Dean.
Dean's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly turned and ran.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground shook violently, and heavy footsteps were approaching from behind. Dean's face was ugly, and he ran wildly. Soon he came to a pile of rocks and weeds. His figure nimbly jumped over the rocks and ran. He estimated the position of the trap in his mind. There were still about 1500 meters left, but the footsteps behind him had caught up with him to the point where he was hundreds of meters away.
Dean's whole body was covered in cold sweat. He roared and ran with all his strength. He only felt that his legs were flying, and the wind whistled in his ears like thunder.
"Not enough! Not fast enough!" Dean was frightened. He had already heard the vibration behind him. It was forty to fifty meters away from him, and it could completely catch up with him before the trap.
Faster!
Faster!!
Dean shouted in his heart. His whole body seemed to be burning, and he desperately ran.
Gradually, he heard heavy footsteps behind him, but he didn't dare to look back. When he finally reached the trap, his tense heart relaxed a little. The footsteps he heard were also hundreds of meters away. He quickly took out the matchstick in the inner layer of his armor and looked back. He saw the body of the Snake-Tailed Demon Crocodile more than four hundred meters away. It was still chasing, but it was running slower and slower.
Dean was slightly startled, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Was the mercury working?
He immediately put the match in his mouth, quickly pulled out a mercury arrow, and aimed. He stared at the snake tail magic crocodile swaying as it ran. At the same time, the snake tail behind it swayed from side to side, making it faster and more balanced on land.
Dean's eyes were sharp and cold, like a dark archer hiding in the shadows. When the snake tail magic crocodile stepped into the range of 200 meters, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and the arrow was gently released.
With a whistling sound, the arrow shot out.
When the snake tail magic crocodile was about 190 meters away, the arrow slammed into its eyeball!
"Roar!" The snake tail magic crocodile's body suddenly fell down, and it howled in pain. The crocodile itself had no vocal organs, but during the process of mutation, it had grown one. At this moment, it let out a low, hoarse roar like a tiger.
Dean's eyes were cold, and he mercilessly continued to put the third arrow. This time, it was a fine iron arrow. After all, the mercury arrow production was limited, and it couldn't be recovered after shooting.
During the period when it fell, Dean shot six arrows in a row, and all of them hit the target!
The snake tail magic crocodile was lying on the ground, screaming incessantly. After a moment, it gradually stopped moving. Blood seeped out from the wounds on its body, dying the grass within a few meters red. Especially on its head, there were six or seven arrows inserted, which made people's scalp tingle.
Dean waited for a moment, and seeing that it still didn't move, he cautiously approached it. After a distance of 40 to 50 meters, he grabbed a stone and threw it at the crocodile.
The snake tail magic crocodile, which originally seemed to be dead, was hit by the stone. It roared fiercely and opened its mouth to bite forward, but it bit empty air.
This bite seemed to have exhausted its strength. After biting empty air, its head heavily hit the ground, and it stopped moving again.
Dean's heart was both glad and relieved. Although this monster was cunning, after all, it was difficult to defeat a human. If it was replaced by another hunter, they would definitely have waited until he was close to them. Just like the bloody swordsman Linda, who could still endure the pain when her beautiful cheeks were burned by the flame, in order to give him a fatal blow. This kind of endurance, probably only a human could do!
