Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

"I'll take care of the rest!!!"

Oleg hadn't said such bold words for a long time. At this moment, his blood was boiling!

Perhaps moved by Oleg's awareness, Banning took the initiative to lead everyone to evacuate. As long as the vanguard began to retreat, the rest of the people would naturally follow.

Moreover, it was not that everyone disobeyed Oleg's orders. On the contrary, they all stopped and wanted to live and die with him because they could not let go of the elderly branch chief.

Now seeing the reward hunters begin to withdraw, Oleg's fighting spirit became even stronger.

——(Now that things have come to this, let me see your true strength, Magical Secret Sword: Flame Horse!)

·

Oleg wielded the magic sword to kill the carrion rats. Even without using any skills, the power of this magic sword was quite amazing.

Behind Oleg, there were several mounted magicians and archers providing remote support.

Banning mobilized all the horses in the team to be used by the reward hunters with long-range combat capabilities. This would not only not slow down their retreat speed, but also greatly reduce Oleg's pressure.

By the time the giant red-scaled snake approached, the rat monsters had been basically wiped out, and the reward hunters had retreated far away.

What remains is a one-on-one duel between Oleg and Spland.

"Splinter, I never thought you would stoop to this level!"

Oleg saw that Spland's human face was embedded in the forehead of the giant red-scaled snake, which meant that Spland had merged with the snake demon.

"Hiss...degeneration? Please call this evolution. Can't you see my powerful body and magic power? Hahahahaha!!"

Spland's voice came out through the mouth of the red-scaled giant snake. It was not a sound produced by the vocal cords, but a synthetic sound transmitted by magic power.

"Haha, I don't see how you are so powerful. You don't even have hands anymore, so what do you need the 'Flame Horse' for?"

"Hiss... Ignorance is terrifying, Oleg. Let me tell you, this isn't the first time I've transformed into a giant red-scaled snake. Hiss... Do you understand what this means?"

Oleg was silent. During these decades of separation, Spland had indeed grown into an area unknown to him.

However, regardless of whether Spland can transform back into human form, Oleg's determination to kill him remains unchanged.

"So what if you're ignorant? Just die under the blade of the 'Flame Horse' you desire most!"

Oleg once again injected magic power into the magic sword, and then swung "Flame Horse" at the red-scaled giant snake!

As soon as the flaming steed touched the body of the red-scaled giant snake, it turned into a raging fire and spread throughout its body!

But after burning for a while, the flame went out on its own, and the body of the red-scaled giant snake was not damaged at all, it was just emitting hot steam.

——(Actually…?!)

——(Is there something strange about this red scale?)

Seeing this, Oleg immediately changed his fighting style and jumped onto the giant red-scaled snake. He wanted to cut a wound on the giant snake first, and then use fire to invade its body to cause damage.

However, the red-scaled giant snake did not give him this opportunity at all.

Under the crazy swings of the red-scaled giant snake, Oleg was quickly thrown down and could only barely hit it a few times with his sword during dynamic combat.

The high-temperature blade of the magic sword successfully cut through the hard red scales' defense, but Oleg was unable to exert enough force in the few strikes he made. The wounds were too shallow and too small to pose a threat to the red-scaled snake.

Just at this moment, the sound of a large number of rats squeaking was heard not far away. It was the "Corruption-Detoxifying Poison Blade Rat King" and its followers coming!

——(Damn it, it’s too late to retreat!)

Oleg glanced at the direction the rats were heading, but this also revealed a flaw.

Spland seized the opportunity and in the blink of an eye wrapped Oleg with his huge snake body!

"Hiss... I finally caught you, Oleg!"

The scales on the giant red snake suddenly lit up, and a large amount of fluid venom flowed out from the gaps between the scales, drowning Oleg in an instant!

4.43 - Snake Rain (Part )

"King Kong's body!!"

At the moment of being engulfed by the venom, Oleg used his skills to protect his body.

Even so, these highly corrosive venoms continue to make terrible "hissing" sounds.

As soon as Oleg's "Diamond Body" skill ends, he will die in the venom.

However, Oleg's rich combat experience allowed him to remain calm at this moment.

Every crisis contains opportunities.

"Splinter, you didn't catch me, I caught you!!"

Oleg used all his strength and thrust the magic sword into the body of the red-scaled giant snake with his backhand. This time, he successfully stabbed the entire blade in!

Suddenly, the red-scaled snake struggled in pain! It tried to throw Oleg out, but how could Oleg miss this golden opportunity?!

"Feel my wrath, Spland...!"

"Yan! Ju!"

Oleg slashed at the direction of the red-scaled giant snake's body with his sword without mercy. While tearing a narrow wound, the scorching flame horse burned directly into the body of the red-scaled giant snake!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

The searing pain made the giant red-scaled snake roll on the ground in agony. Oleg took the opportunity to escape and quickly wiped off the corrosive venom on his body, but he still suffered some corrosive burns.

——(Yes, this style of play can work!)

Oleg waited and watched from the sidelines for the time being, not in a hurry to attack again.

Now he needed to take a breath and recover some strength. Besides, the skill "Vajra Body" could not be used continuously in a short period of time.

But gradually, Oleg discovered that something was wrong with the giant red-scaled snake. As it twisted its body, the red scales and snake skin on its surface cracked. Then, a giant red-scaled snake that seemed to be "reborn" crawled out from the old skin!

—(Oh no…!)

Oleg hurried forward, but it was too late. New scales immediately grew out on the skin of the red-scaled giant snake, making the narrow wound left by Oleg disappear without a trace.

However, Oleg was not discouraged. He could see that the red-scaled giant snake had only recovered on the outside, and the severe damage it had just suffered inside its body must still be there!

"Hiss... Oleg... I really underestimated you..."

The giant red-scaled snake was panting heavily. It seemed that shedding its skin and growing new red scales had taken a lot of its energy.

“Hiss… Let me make it a little more difficult for you…hiss hehehehe!!”

As the words fell, the body of the red-scaled giant snake suddenly bulged into a ball. Then, it raised its head high and vomited violently! It actually vomited a strange ball into the air, and this ball flew towards the reward hunters!

The strange sphere did not last long in the air before it disintegrated. Only then did Oleg see clearly that the sphere was made up of countless poisonous snakes. Now that the sphere had dispersed, it meant that a "snake rain" was about to fall on the bounty hunters!

The "Snake Rain" itself has limited harm, but it will greatly slow down everyone's escape speed. In this way, the "Corruption-Detoxifying Poison Blade Rat King" will soon catch up with them!

Spland's sinister tactics angered the already exhausted Oleg again. He could not care about so much anymore. He had to kill Spland immediately and then rush back to support everyone!

"S-Plant--!"

Oleg rushed towards the red-scaled giant snake almost violently! This was exactly the reaction Spland wanted to see.

——(Keep using the "Flame Horse", Oleg... Before long, you will be engulfed by the flames of the "Flame Horse"!)

On the reward hunters' side, a sharp-eyed archer spotted a strange object flying in the night sky, and he immediately shouted for everyone to defend quickly!

Jiang Ran raised his head and saw the strips of objects that were falling in all directions. He used his identification ability to confirm that they were just poisonous snakes, not monsters.

(But... there are too many of them... probably hundreds of them... it would be troublesome if they slowed us down!)

At this time, Jiang Ran immediately thought of the magicians. Compared with the archers' point attacks, their area attacks could more efficiently kill poisonous snakes in the air.

However, the battle tonight had lasted too long, and the magicians' magic power was stretched to its limit, making it impossible for Jiang Ran to issue the order to fight back...

"First-level fire magic: Fire Ring!"

What Jiang Ran didn't expect was that the magicians actually stepped forward on their own initiative!

The first person to release magic was Emilia!

As Emilia finished speaking, a ring of fire rapidly rose in the air, immediately setting a lot of poisonous snakes on fire. Afterwards, other magicians also released their magic one after another!

"First-level fire magic: Multiple small fireballs!"

"First-level lightning magic: Forked lightning!"

"First-level water magic: Breath of Frost!"

"..."

Various quick-cast magic spells illuminated the night sky. Some magicians ran out of magic power due to the forced release of magic, but after they fell dizzy, their companions immediately supported their bodies and took them with them to continue evacuating.

Jiang Ran was deeply moved when he saw this scene.

These "elites" personally selected by Oleg can only be regarded as rookies in the second-level profession based on their level and experience, but their qualifications and combat skills are worthy of the name of elites, and what is more precious is their spirit of unity and friendship.

(Yes, we can escape!)

The snake rain crisis is temporarily resolved, and the bounty hunters help each other and start running again!

But not long after, in the darkness, the sound of "squeak, squeak!" suddenly surrounded everyone at an even faster speed!

At some point, a large number of scavenging black rat monsters of varying sizes had caught up! Among them was a giant figure comparable in size to an elephant...!

"Defensive formation! Everyone, switch to defensive formation immediately!!"

Jiang Ran shouted at the top of his lungs. The big guy that he couldn't see clearly was undoubtedly the 'Corruption-Detoxifying Poisonous Blade Rat King' that the branch chief mentioned!

If the reward hunters were to be surrounded by the rat monsters in their current loose formation, countless casualties would occur in an instant!

Just five minutes ago, Jiang Ran was still thinking that he could escape, but he didn't expect that his optimism would be shattered in less than five minutes!

(What should I do? If I just defend myself, I'm probably no match for the Rat King and the others...)

(If we force our way out, we won't have the speed advantage and will be surrounded again sooner or later...)

(Damn it, is there no other way out...?!)

Jiang Ran looked in the direction of the branch chief. There was flames illuminating the sky. It was obvious that Oleg was still fighting fiercely with the giant red-scaled snake.

It is now impossible to wait for the branch chief to come back for rescue, Jiang Ran can only rely on himself to find a solution!

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Jiang Ran's mind, including the idea of ​​"escaping alone and avenging everyone in the future."

However, Jiang Ran did not do so. He glanced at the word "Jiang" engraved on the palm of his hand, and then spurred his horse towards the direction of the "Corruption-Detoxifying Poison Blade Rat King"!

"Garbage-eating Rat King! Come and kill me first if you dare!" (Demon language)

Jiang Ran shot an arrow at the Corruption-Detoxifying Poison Blade Rat King head-on, and then lit up the magic stone in his hand, attracting the rats to chase him!

4.44 - Brave Heart (Part )

In the dark night, Jiang Ran lit up the magic stone and attracted the attention of all the rat monsters.

And his curses in the demon language ignited the rage of the "Corruption-Detoxifying Poison Blade Rat King".

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"

The rat monsters screamed angrily, and then under the command of the Corruption-Detoxifying Poison Blade Rat King, most of the rat monsters pounced on Jiang Ran from all directions!

“Go!!!”

Jiang Ran waved his gauntlet sword and iron round shield to fend off the rat monsters that were rushing towards him. His warhorse, Xiao Motorcycle, neighed and exerted all his strength, relying on the protection of the warhorse's soft armor to rush out of the rat group in one breath!

At this time, there were no enemies in front of Jiang Ran. He looked back and saw a large number of rat monsters chasing him like a tide. He would never forget this horrifying scene in his life...if he could survive this crisis.

With the help of the light from the glowing magic stone, Jiang Ran could clearly see the situation of the rat group behind him.

The most numerous are the weakest carrion rats, ranging in level from 10 to 20;

Next are the giant black rats that eat scavengers. There are about a dozen of them, most of them are around level 30.

Next up are the scavenging, violent black rats we saw for the first time. There are three of them, level 45, 46, and 48 respectively. The strongest of these three rats came with the Rat King.

The last one is the Corruption-Detoxifying Poison Blade Rat King, which has the body of an elephant but is surprisingly fast. Every time it runs, the earth will tremble!
