Chapter 274 Psychic Crossbow

The sudden vibration froze everyone's expression. If it was just a common shaking underground, it would not matter. The earthquake would pass soon.

But the facts did not go in the direction everyone expected. The frequency of the vibration was not only getting higher and higher, but also getting closer and closer.

It felt like some kind of behemoth was charging straight towards everyone's location.

They all pulled out their weapons that had just been taken back and stared at the direction of the sound.

Just four or five seconds later, Nimia suddenly shouted:

"Get down!"

Almost at the same time when everyone just bent down, the left wall of the captain's room was smashed, and a huge streamlined monster broke through the wall and smashed on the wall on the other side.

The sound of the chitin wall and the flesh of the conch shell ship being torn into the ears of everyone, but no one could see what it was. They only felt that a huge black shadow flew over their heads, and then everyone was buried by the falling debris.

"Did anyone see what it was?"

"No!"

"Pull me out!"

Derger lifted a piece of chitin ceiling that hit him, and reached out to pull the halfling priest out of the collapsed debris.

The only one who was not buried was Aldea, and the debris that fell on her was bounced off by the translucent shield.

She looked at the two large holes on the wall and thought:

"This trace looks like it was left by a shark lizard."

"That thing is not easy to deal with."

The dwarves' hometown is also underground, and Derger knows how terrible the shark lizard is.

This monster is simply a great white shark that can move on land. It is one of the top predators. They dig caves at high speed as easily as fish swimming in water. The huge head has an equally huge bloody mouth. When they launch a surprise attack from underground, it is enough to swallow a person in one bite.

And the shark lizard doesn't like the meat of elves and dwarves very much, probably because these two races have a long lifespan, and the shark lizard thinks their meat is too old.

In contrast, the meat of halflings is their favorite.

As it happens, there is a halfling in this team.

Perrin immediately jumped up and said:

"What are you waiting for! Run!"

"We can't outrun it. The shark lizard moves much faster than us."

Orde knocked on the floor with her staff, and a wave spread out with the sound.

"The shark lizard passed through the conch shell and went outside."

"So, it let us go?"

"No, it was just playing with us."

The shark lizard likes to chase and play with its prey, and when the prey is exhausted and can't run anymore, it will eat it in one bite.

It is unwise to fight face to face with the shark lizard. The shell of this thing can not only defend against many weapons, but even magic is not very effective against it.

The huge size and their strong limbs create the most powerful ability of the shark lizard, the death leap.

Simply put, it is like a mountain pressing down on the top of the head. It suddenly jumps out and presses down with several tons of weight. Who can withstand this?

And even if it can be injured, the shark lizard beast will burrow into the ground and run away when it sees that the situation is not right. It is difficult to kill it with one blow. In this way, there will be a top predator that can jump out from the ground at any time to follow it in the next journey.

In other words, it is necessary to kill the shark lizard beast with a one-shot method.

As I said, the wizard's brain is fast, and Alde immediately said:

"Let's go to the deck."

The captain's room where everyone is is connected to the bridge of the snail shell ship, and outside the bridge is the front deck of the snail shell ship.

Several people ran out quickly, and Delger smashed the glass of the French window of the bridge with an axe. Soon everyone stood on the empty front deck.

At this time, looking around, you can vaguely see a constantly moving bulge on the ground. It was left by the shark lizard beast moving underground. It looks very much like a shark swimming around its prey.

"Found it, over there."

"What is that?"

It is a nautilus-shaped thing, about one person tall, with a row of muscle tissue brackets underneath, neatly placed on the front deck.

"The psychic crossbow of the conch shell ship is enough to destroy the shark lizard with one shot."

Aurday ran over to check it out quickly. When her finger touched the pattern on the back of the conch shell, a square fist screen lit up. The screen showed the image of the crossbow's position, and even a crosshair.

This means that the crossbow still has energy, but I don't know how many shots it can fire.

Usually the psychic crossbow is controlled by the mind sucker on the conch shell ship, but sometimes the mind sucker may not be able to spare a hand, which requires the slave of the mind sucker to control the crossbow to participate in the battle.

In other words, this thing can be controlled by remote control or by hand.

The shark lizard has a very keen perception. If Aurday wants to use magic to solve it, she must use a strong spell.

And a strong spell takes a little time to prepare, and it will leak a huge magic reaction when it is cast.

The shark lizard is not stupid. If it realizes that it may not be able to withstand it, it will definitely run away.

But the psychic crossbow is different. This thing is silent before firing. After firing, even if the shark lizard notices it, it is too late.

After handing the psychic crossbow to Nimia, who had experience in using crossbows, Alde turned around and said:

"Now we need a bait to lure the shark lizard beast over."

Derger and Perrin looked at each other, and Perrin finally raised his hand helplessly.

"Okay, I'll go."

The shark lizard beast likes the meat of halflings the most, which is the perfect bait.

Derger patted his shoulder and said:

"Although the time is short, I will not forget you."

"I am not dead yet!"

He tied a rope to Perrin, then jumped off the deck and stood there stamping his feet.

The shark lizard beast is very sensitive to ground vibrations, especially the footsteps of halflings, which it likes the most.

Aurde, who was watching the surrounding movements and established a visual connection with the secret eye, immediately saw that the shark lizard beast that was originally circling the shell ship changed its direction and came towards Perrin.

"It's coming, get ready."

"I must get more money! Do you hear me! I want a raise!"

Perrin also felt the terrible vibration of the shark lizard beast approaching him quickly, and felt that his heart skipped two beats.

"Pull me up quickly!"

"Wait a minute, it's not time yet."

Aurde saw the shark lizard beast getting closer and closer through the secret eye, and he had to wait for it to come out of the soil.

Seeing that the raised soil layer was about to hit Perrin who was stamping his feet on the spot, a loud bang was heard at this time, and the shark lizard beast drilled out from the ground and opened its bloody mouth towards Perrin.

"Now!"

Derger immediately pulled up the rope with all his strength. He could see the shark lizard beast jumping up like a fish out of the water at Perrin's scream, and its teeth were almost hooked on Perrin's boots.

Nemia, who had already aimed, immediately pressed the button, and the psychic crossbow made a sharp buzzing sound, followed by a blue light wave breaking through the air and making a harsh noise.

The arrow-like psychic field hit the side of the shark lizard beast's head, and with the sound of broken bones, the shark lizard beast's head was completely pierced.

Accompanied by the roar of heavy objects falling to the ground, Perrin was pulled up. He was panting because of nervousness. Looking back, the shark lizard beast was almost torn into two sections and was completely dead.

"Haha! I'll let you bite me!"

But just when he was happy for a while, the snail-shell ship made a strange squeak, and the front deck under his feet also swayed back and forth, and from not far under his feet, there was a sound of earth and rocks collapsing.

"Let me go down! The snail-shell ship is going to fall!"

The snail-shell ship made an emergency landing on the edge of an underground abyss, and the shark lizard beast just circled around the snail-shell ship and dug a hole, just like an earthworm, loosening the originally hard rock.

Everyone immediately rolled and crawled under the snail-shell ship. When Delger, who was running at the back, jumped down, the broken snail-shell ship rolled down the slope into the bottomless abyss. It took a while before the loud noise of falling and the flash of explosion in the dark were heard.

"What a pity, there are still many things worth studying on it."

Aurora stood on the edge of the cliff and shook her head with regret.

But if she looked back at this time, she would see the aurora that had just disappeared reappear, guiding her in the direction of progress...
