Everyone's face changed as they heard Ian's words. They nervously glanced around as their hearts beat faster.
Before coming here, everyone had looked through the information. According to the records in the Magical Creature Atlas, the Wind Silencers were a type of regional magical creature. They liked to use their nests as their territory. There were some magical creatures following them, and there were also guardians with similar living habits. The Corpse Pecker in front of them was one of the guardians of the Wind Silencers!
Pecker was also a monster that was given a name. Moreover it was a rare monster like the silencer. Pecker and the silencer were at the same stage. The pecker was willing to be the guardian of the silencer mainly because of its living habits. The silencer would secrete a corrosive acid when it ate. It would make the prey rot quickly before eating.
The Corpse Pecker was also a magical creature that loved to eat rotten meat. It was the so-called "birds of a feather flock together". In addition to similar appetites, the silencer had a keen sense of hearing and the pecker had a strong hunting ability. They were almost one of the best partners among the monsters.
Martin licked his lips and whispered, "Ian, watch the surroundings. Don't let the Silencers launch a sneak attack. Rosemary, Eugene, both of you cooperate with me to kill it. Newbie Dean, you support us with arrows. Also look around. "
Eugene's body trembled as he heard his name.
Rosemary didn't hesitate to say 'yes'. She stepped out of the team and stood next to Martin. She held her sword and was ready to support Martin.
Dudian took out his bow and aimed at the pecker. He was ready to support it at any time.
Roar!
After the pecker was repelled by Ian, the sharp bone spur on the side of its arm was chipped. With an angry roar, the pecker swung its thick tail and pounced on Martin and Mary as fast as the wind.
Martin roared as his arms became a lot thicker. His skin turned red as he stamped his feet to meet the pecker.
The ability of his magic marks was to increase his strength and heal himself. So even though he had just become a high-level Frontiersman, in terms of pure strength, he was comparable to the limit of a high-level Frontiersman. Moreover, his self-healing ability was extremely strong, which made his fighting style inclined to the side of not caring about his life.
Martin's sword fiercely collided with the pecker's arm. The edge of the sword was caught by the bone spur on the pecker's arm.
The Corpse Pecker growled and raised his other arm to smash the Corpse Pecker's head.
Rosemary, who was coordinating from the side, immediately leaped up and stabbed at its armpit with a one-handed sword. She wanted to chop off its arm.
The Corpse Pecker had to turn its arm down to parry the rapier, while its other hand swung to shake off Martin, who was trying to entangle it.
Dean aimed the arrow at the Corpse Pecker's head. He wanted to find a weakness, but the Corpse Pecker's head was like an eagle's beak. It had a smooth black shell and no eyes or nose. The mouth was hidden under the black shell. It was almost impossible to shoot the arrow directly into its mouth unless he stood under its body and shot.
He did not fire his arrow, but waited.
According to the Monster Atlas, the size and height of the Corpse Pecker should only be in the mature stage, and its hunting level should be between 46 and 52.
"Eugene, what are you still standing there for?!" Ian, who was on high alert, couldn't help but roar when he saw Eugene standing there motionless.
Eugene replied in a timid tone: "I-I don't dare to go."
Ian's lungs almost exploded as he heard Eugene's words: "Bastard! What are you talking about! Do you think we can live if something happens to them?! Hurry up! "
If it weren't for the fact that he had to be wary of the Wind Listeners who might be lying in ambush in the surroundings, he would have already charged forward with his saber.
Eugene bitterly said: "The Corpse Pecker is around level 50. Even a senior limitless expert may not be able to deal with it. I'm just a junior limitless expert. Wouldn't it be suicide if I go up? Moreover it will hinder Martin. It's better to stay here. "
Ian's hands trembled in anger as he saw Eugene's face. Eugene's performance was good and he was very obedient. Ian didn't expect that Eugene would throw a tantrum in the face of a crisis.
He gritted his teeth and glared at him fiercely, then said to Ruby beside him, "You go help."
Ruby also angrily stared at Eugene. He held his axe and rushed forward.
Dean was standing at the back of the team. He frowned as he heard Eugene and Ian's words. He looked at Eugene and raised his eyebrows. Eugene's heartbeat was smooth. It showed that he was very calm. He wasn't as flustered and scared as he showed on the surface. It meant that he did it on purpose!
Dean narrowed his eyes as he thought of a possibility.
Eugene seemed to be aware of Dean's thoughts. He looked back at Dean with a faint smile on his lips. However there was a trace of coldness in his eyes.
Bang!
Ruby, who had just rushed forward, was hit in the chest by the Corpse Pecker's tail. He flew back and was caught by Luna.
Ruby's face flushed red. He roared, raised his battle axe, and rushed forward again.
Dean knew that Ruby's magic mark ability wasn't a combat type ability. It was a survival type ability. He could absorb leaves and other non-toxic plants as food to maintain his vitality. Moreover, he could store enough nutrients in his body in advance. He could consume a part of it every day. It was similar to how cold-blooded snakes went into hibernation. He could store food in advance for months in advance!
If it was a competition of endurance and energy consumption, he was the undisputed king of the team.
But he was slightly weaker in a head-on fight.
The Corpse Pecker's lower body twisted while its upper body swayed from side to side. It was hard to predict its movements. It waved its arms and rushed towards Martin. Through its body's sensitivity to heat, it realized that the one in front of it was the most threatening among the group of prey.
Martin clenched his teeth as he waved his sword to block the bone spikes on the Corpse Pecker's arm. If it was an ordinary steel sword it would have broken by now.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Rosemary, who was next to her, twisted her body and rushed over in an extremely strange posture. The rapier in her hand stabbed silently into one of the Corpse Pecker's arms.
The Corpse Pecker did not have any scales on its upper body, instead, it had greyish white skin similar to a human's. Rosemary's rapier pierced through the Corpse Pecker's body, and as she pulled out the arrow, blood spurted out.
Ian's eyes lit up as he saw Rosemary hit the Corpse Pecker: "Martin! Pin it down and wait for the green poison to attack!"
