The goat looked at these seemingly useless things. After thinking for a while, he took out the wolf king's claws, teeth, bones and so on and asked if they needed them.
This group of centaurs was overjoyed when they saw it. It seemed that almost everything on the wolf king, Ghost Howl, was regarded as treasures, so they almost tried their best to trade with the goat.
So the goat collected a batch of valuable goods (the world's currency) here, as well as centaur specialties, some hunting mechanisms and so on. Of course, these things couldn't be brought out of this world, so they were cheap.
The goat always liked to collect local wealth in the adventure world, but this behavior had benefited the team many times. Fang Linyan and Vulture were also very supportive.
At this time, Jordan also heard the news that Fang Linyan and the others were returning, so he came to ask Fang Linyan and the others about the location of the camp, then he said that he wanted to go with them.
Because it happened to be about 30 kilometers away from Fang Linyan's camp, there was a rift valley with a salt pool, which could produce good rock salt. In addition to eating rock salt, salt water could also be used to wash wounds, disinfect and so on. It had a wide range of uses. It was not a problem to use it as a barter product.
Usually, the Maggram tribe set up a small camp there. The people inside were used to collect and guard rock salt. Otherwise, the salt pool would be ruined by wild beasts.
For the Maggram tribe, in addition to self-use, this rock salt was also used as a trade product to trade with other tribes.
This time, they happened to be transporting supplies to the tribe there, but it was usually others who went there. As a reserve shaman, Jordan also faintly felt that the visit of humans was an opportunity for the dispirited tribe to rise again, so he took the initiative to bring people over. This way, it would be more convenient to contact.
Of course, from the perspective of a black-bellied person, the purpose of this little mare was to see if there was any bargain because they felt that they had taken a big advantage of the previous transaction with the goat.
In this regard, Fang Linyan and the others had no objection. After thinking about it, they simply removed the top of the all-terrain vehicle, turning it into a large pickup truck with cargo boxes in an instant. Then, they let Jordan and others stand in the back of the truck …
Jordan and the other two looked very excited, but Fang Linyan always felt that this scene was a bit out of place. Suddenly, he patted his head and had a flash of inspiration. Isn't this the common scene of a cart pulling an animal in the countryside?
As the all-terrain vehicle slowly started moving, the three girls from Jordan started chatting. Initially, they thought that the vehicle was too slow. However, as the speed increased, they no longer felt that way.
The Centaur's explosive power was very strong. When it ran at full speed, it could run seventy to eighty kilometers per hour. However, it could not maintain this speed for an hour.
In Jordan's memory, the strongest warrior in the tribe, Blood Hoof, could only sprint at this speed for ten minutes at most.
Unlike when they came here, they had to search all the way to prevent deviating from the path. Fang Linyan and the others were familiar with the way back this time.
The goat had an idea at this time. During the break, he seized the opportunity to talk to Jordan. As a result, Jordan, the little mare, was very open-minded. She actually took the initiative to ask him sensitive questions such as when humans entered the breeding period, how long the estrus lasted every year, and so on. She also complained that because there were many close relatives in the tribe, it was difficult to reproduce. The physical fitness of the next generation was also very weak, and they lacked the injection of foreign good genes …
When the goat heard this, he immediately became serious and patiently answered. After a while, he and Jordan would talk and laugh. They were very congenial, and the somewhat boring journey suddenly became lively.
The following 800 words were omitted in order not to be blocked in this chapter.
***
With the help of the local guide, it only took about four hours to reach the vicinity of the salt mine in Jordan.
However, after putting them down, they saw a column of black smoke rising from the distant sky. It was coming from the direction of the campsite!
Fang Linyan and others were shocked. After hurriedly saying goodbye to Jordan and others, they immediately drove quickly toward the camp.
After driving for about 20 kilometers, they saw a group of Centaurs running ahead. They looked like a patrol team, but judging from their attire and the flag they were holding, they were completely different from the Magram Centaurs.
The goat hesitated at this time and said,
"Should I go over and communicate with them?"
Fang Linyan said in a deep voice,
"The other party may be from the Kyrgyz tribe. Is it necessary to take the risk to communicate with them?"
The goat said,
"Our enemy is the Hill Giants! They are not centaurs, and I think this race is still quite easy to communicate with. "
Fang Linyan hesitated for a while and said,
"Okay, then Vulture will accompany you."
The goat nodded, so Vulture took an explosion-proof shield in the car and walked forward slowly with him. After that, the goat shouted a bunch of unknown bird language at the group of centaurs from a distance.
The speed of these centaurs suddenly slowed down, then they slowly approached. They didn't seem to have any hostility.
Probably because the Magram tribe they dealt with before was very friendly, Fang Linyan began to think that the 2 of them were not dangerous at this time.
However, when the distance between the 2 was shortened to within 100 meters, this group of centaurs took the initiative to attack them. This attack was launched instantly, which was almost impossible to guard against.
A long horn sounded under the scorching hot sky. About five to six Centaur archers drew their bows and shot at the Mountain Goat duo. The slender arrowheads were raised 45 degrees and shot straight down from the sky.
Vulture reacted extremely quickly. He hurriedly raised the explosion-proof shield to block, and the goat hid behind him. The 2 of them began to stagger back.
The two of them didn't dare to show their faces. Arrows were shot at them continuously, hitting the shield that Vulture had set up. Clang! Clang! Clang! Some of the stone arrowheads even shattered.
The goat wanted to fight back, but obviously, it was not a wise choice to fight with an unfamiliar enemy in this unfamiliar place, and the opponent was a long-range attacker.
Especially since the opponent was a local creature, there was no forced 50% damage reduction, so after the goat's small body was hit by an arrow, the consequences would be very serious.
In this case, Fang Linyan didn't dare to neglect. He directly stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The all-terrain vehicle drove at full power on the sand, raising billowing sand and dust. It quickly drove to the 2 of them, opened the door as fast as possible, and then dragged them into the vehicle. This time, they were finally out of danger.
However, after seeing the 2 of them get into the all-terrain vehicle, the group of centaurs immediately turned and left. Obviously, they had suffered from similar steel monsters.
Fang Linyan and the 2 of them had no intention of entangling with them at this time. They started the engine and continued to drive toward the camp.
At full speed, it only took about 40 minutes to see the entire camp being besieged!
And the ones besieging the camp were centaurs, scavenger wolves, and bloody beak vultures.
There weren't many centaurs among them, only about twenty to thirty of them. The centaur in the lead didn't look very old, but he held a magic staff in his hand. The most eye-catching part of the magic staff was the scarlet leaves growing on it.
However, the number of scavenger wolves and bloody beak vultures was considerable; it was a large black mass.
At this time, it could be seen that a corner of the wall next to the camp had collapsed. Obviously, it was almost breached, but the rescue team relied on modern technological weapons to defend it very securely.
However, a raging flame had been burning next to the camp. The source of the black smoke came from here. When this group of centaurs charged, they liked to use rockets and throw torches to attack.
In the open space in front of the camp, there were already more than a dozen wolf corpses and 2 centaurs whose legs were broken and dying.
This was the bait that Rhett had purposely left behind. He wanted the remaining Centaurs to come to his rescue. It was also the fuse that ignited the battle. As long as the Centaurs did not attack, they would have to watch their comrades get shot continuously. Moreover, the targets of the shots were all non-fatal, such as the hands and feet.
It seemed that the centaurs really fell into the trap and came out in full force. At this time, in front of the camp, Kenny, who was wearing combat armor, was leading the Steel Knights to charge in front, causing huge damage to the opponent.
It could be seen that at least a dozen centaurs died tragically under the high-frequency axes of the Steel Knights. As for the wolves and bloody beak vultures, they also suffered a lot of casualties.
Obviously, the centaurs of the Kyrgyz tribe had never encountered such a strong opponent, and they were about to be defeated for a while.
But at this time, the centaur shaman holding a magic staff began to chant. He pointed at the Steel Knights, and at the same time, a blood-red leaf on the magic staff fell off.
Almost all the members of the Steel Knights began to be covered with a faint layer of bloody light. The frequency of their movements began to significantly slow down, and their hands and feet seemed to be bound by something. It was obvious that they were struggling.
In this situation, a member of the Steel Knights was accidentally pushed to the ground. Then, a centaur rushed up, raised the spear in his hand high, and stabbed down! It was aimed at the gap of the power armor.
Immediately, a scream was heard, and blood began to gush out from the power armor.
After hearing the scream, the muscles on Kenny's face suddenly trembled.
Every member of the Steel Knights was his lifeblood. Not only did they have strong physical fitness, but they also had to be loyal to Kenny. So even if one of them died here, Kenny was absolutely unwilling.
So, Kenny immediately ordered:
"Retreat! Wall and I will bring up the rear. "
At the same time, the forces in the camp began to come out to support.
After Kenny gave the order, the group immediately retreated while fighting, but they did not expect an even fiercer offensive to follow.
It turned out that the centaurs also had a trick up their sleeves. They actually dragged out two simple ballistas from behind the rocks next to them, then aimed at them and released them directly!
"Bang bang", the ballistas shot out two large arrowheads!
The key was that after the arrowhead ejected by the ballista flew out for dozens of meters, it split outwards in mid-air. The dense crisscrossing vines spread out like a fishing net, and finally covered Kenny and Wall who were at the back.
This thing was originally a sharp weapon used by the centaurs to deal with the hill giants, so the vine net was woven so thick and strong that it took a lot of effort to cut it.
The two were covered by two giant vine nets that came one after another. They were trapped in place and kept struggling, but they still could not move.
After seeing this scene, the centaurs were overjoyed. At this time, they also saw that Kenny was the leader of this group of people. If they could kill him here, then the enemy would most likely collapse.
As a result, when a large number of enemies rushed up and wanted to enjoy the credit of killing the enemy leader, a dazzling light suddenly flashed out, causing Fang Linyan and others in the distance to feel extremely stinging in their eyes. For a moment, their vision was white, and their vision was severely damaged.
Not only that, an indescribable feeling of disgust surged in their hearts. Their heads were buzzing, and they felt a little dizzy.
Fang Linyan and others were already like this from so far away, let alone the surrounding enemies?
As the leader of the team, how could Kenny not have some trump cards up his sleeves?
The move he used was the enhanced version of the flash bomb, called Super Rumbling Bomb. Not only would it emit 100,000 times the brightness of the sun in an instant, but it also released terrifying infrasonic waves to impact the enemy's brain.
Almost all the enemies who rushed near Kenny fell to the ground, covering their eyes and ears and wailing.
However, there was a price to pay for luring the enemy. Kenny's right chest was pierced by a spear.
This spear looked very primitive. The tip of the spear was made of stone, but it directly pierced through Kenny's alloy steel battle armor and even came out from his back!
Kenny gasped for breath. He didn't expect that such a primitive weapon could erupt with such amazing power in an instant. If his body was not highly mechanized, he would be in a state of near-death at this time.
However, in the process of exploring alien planets, some of these indigenous people could occasionally master powerful supernatural powers, so it was not surprising that some things that violated common sense would happen if they were unlucky. Kenny had heard a lot when he went to the bar to drink and chat, but he didn't expect it to happen to him.
Unlike the centaurs who were caught off guard, Kenny used the communicator to inform his allies before making a move.
As soon as he made a move, an all-terrain vehicle immediately drove out from the temporary base. It quickly drifted and blocked in front of Kenny and Wall.
After using the wide body of the vehicle to block the attack of the centaurs, a group of team members rushed down from the opened rear door.
Rhett personally led a few people to rescue Kenny and Wall, who were trapped in the rattan net. They wielded their shiny hunting knives and used the all-terrain vehicle as a cover. They began to cut the rattan net one by one. However, the toughness of the rattan net was beyond imagination, and the hunting knives had little effect on it.
Fortunately, at this time, Kenny said with difficulty in a hoarse voice:
"These rattan nets … they are enchanted with witchcraft. Burn them with fire …"
Under such a clear reminder, the rattan net was quickly burned down. After a short delay, the centaurs also began to organize a counterattack angrily. They began to shoot sparse arrows.
At this time, the driver suddenly panicked.
"Hey! Boss, I think you have to come and see. "
Rhett also found that he could not help much at this time. After listening to the driver, he hurriedly retreated to the cockpit, then looked into the distance. His eyes suddenly widened!
Hundreds of meters away, about ten centaurs were struggling to drag another large combat machine from the back of the hill next to them!
This machine was more than two times larger than an ordinary crossbow. An arrow as thick as a tree stump was mounted on a catapult driven by wooden wheels. The tip of the arrow was a diamond-shaped metal arrowhead about the thickness of an arm. The key was that the arrowhead was shining with a faint earthy yellow light. It was obviously blessed by supernatural forces.
At first, Rhett scoffed at the primitive weapons of the indigenous people here. However, after witnessing Kenny's mechanical armor, which cost almost as much as a skyscraper, being pierced by a spear, the contempt he had for the weapons was instantly wiped out.
Right now, he was almost certain, if the all-terrain vehicle was struck by this crude weapon, just relying on the composite armor of the all-terrain vehicle would not be able to withstand it. Even though the composite armor was able to withstand the strafing of 12.7mm steel core machine gun bullets.
"Is it done? Hurry up! We don't have much time to waste! "
Rhett shouted anxiously through the small loudspeaker on the roof of the vehicle.
However, although the flames were effective against the net of vines, it would still take time to burn them down one by one. The heavy crossbow had stopped moving and was slowly aiming at them.
"Damn it, damn it! Can't you think of something? "
Rhett roared loudly.
At this time, a soldier had bravely crawled out and came to the turret of the all-terrain vehicle. He immediately set up the heavy machine gun on the top and started firing.
The muzzle of the machine gun burst into flames about half a foot long. Then, in an instant, two centaurs who were busy beside the heavy crossbow immediately fell to the ground. The powerful lethality of the heavy machine gun caused them to be seriously injured on the spot. They rolled on the ground for a while before they were paralyzed.
However, this kind of counterattack only lasted for less than five seconds. Naturally, there were Archers patrolling the battlefield who had their eyes on him. Two arrows suddenly fell from the sky and shot into the Machine Gunner's body. His left shoulder and right eye were hit one after another!
All Rhett heard was a blood-curdling scream before he collapsed onto the seat of the archer. Then, he lost consciousness. Fortunately, Rhett managed to drag him out of the seat. Otherwise, he would have been shot more than twice.
While the all-terrain vehicles were in a mess, the enemy's heavy-duty ballistas continued to change directions. Then, a few Centaurs began to noisily reload their catapults and aimed.
After adjusting the catapult, a centaur next to them suddenly raised his axe and slashed at the tightly-stretched bowstring next to him.
After the axe fell, the tightly-stretched noose would spring up, giving the giant crossbow an amazing force. The giant crossbow would then shoot at the all-terrain vehicle.
