Chapter 258 Double Kill
Chapter 258 Double Kill
The huge body of the Spinosaurus fell to the ground with a loud bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Its once intimidating giant shadow finally stopped at this moment, like a collapsed mountain.
This monster known as the "forbidden evil poison" did not choose to escape even at the last moment of its life, but faced death in an awe-inspiring manner.
There was still an unyielding fighting spirit in its eyes, and even if its breathing stopped, the sense of oppression still lingered in the air.
"Phew, it's finally solved."
Lieyan swung his sword to wipe off the blood on the blade, then slowly put the sword back into the sheath. He exhaled lightly and raised his hand to wipe the non-existent sweat from his forehead.
Compared to the various old dragons in the New World that have been strengthened by the energy of the earth veins, hunting monsters in the Old World is just a warm-up for him.
"Here, take a sip to replenish your energy."
Fiorina stood aside, wiping the remaining venom on the shield with a cloth, took out a bottle of recovery medicine G from her waist and handed it over.
She was also accustomed to this kind of high-intensity combat.
As the leader of the Kingdom's Knights, she often receives commissions from the public to hunt highly dangerous monsters in the Fortress Heights.
Occasionally, you'll come across some freakish individuals.
Twenty years ago, although the Dark Abyss Dragon died, it left behind a large pest - the gnawing insect.
This bug, like the Mad Dragon virus, will cause monsters to fall into a frenzy state called weirdness, so once discovered, they must be killed without mercy.
Under these conditions, although rodents have not been eradicated, they have rarely appeared in the public eye.
While the couple was chatting, Link stood in front of the Spinosaurus's corpse, thinking silently.
He was thinking about which part of this thing tasted good.
Link stroked his chin, his eyes sweeping over the Spinosaurus's powerful thighs and thick tail.
"The meat of the Spinosaurus leg should be very chewy. The tail is often swung, and it must taste good after being trained. Okay, it's decided."
Thinking of this, Link pulled out the skinning knife from his waist, squatted down immediately and started working.
Because the Spinosaurus had poisonous spines all over its body, he was extremely careful when taking the meat.
He held his breath, staring intently at the Spinosaurus's thigh covered with thick scales, and gently inserted the tip of the knife along the gaps in the scales, his technique as precise as a master cutting up a tuna.
"laugh!"
Unexpectedly, the knife seemed to have cut into a gland containing toxins.
Purple-black blood spurted out suddenly, so fast that people had no time to react. The smelly poisonous blood splattered all over Link's hands, and even a few drops splashed onto his visor.
"Oops!"
Link cursed inwardly and tried to retreat, but it was too late. The blood containing a strong nerve-paralyzing toxin quickly penetrated through the gauntlet and invaded his body. Link could even feel the toxin flowing through his blood.
There is no way. The strong feeling of numbness starts from the palm, extends upwards, gradually eroding the wrist, forearm, and elbow. It is hard not to feel it.
"careful!"
Hearing the noise, Lieyan and Fiolaina, who were chatting not far away, turned their heads suddenly and happened to see this scene.
The two men's faces suddenly changed and they rushed over without hesitation.
The flame was extremely fast and reached Link's side almost instantly, and Fiora followed closely behind, quickly taking out the antidote from the small bag on her waist.
"Quick, step back, don't touch the poisonous blood, and drink the medicine quickly."
Lieyan quickly pulled Link away from the range of the poisonous blood splatter, snatched the antidote from Fiolaina, and stuffed it into Link's mouth.
Almost knocked his teeth out.
"How are you? How are you feeling?"
Fiorina asked with concern as she watched Link gulp down the antidote. She took out another bottle, fearing that the antidote might not be strong enough.
"Well, fortunately, it worked."
Link spoke weakly. Even though his arm was still numb and unable to move, the poison had finally stopped spreading, only reaching the shoulder area.
He gently moved his other hand, which was still able to move, and felt that the toxins in his body had been contained, and the tension in his heart was slightly relieved.
"Phew, that's good. You gave me a scare."
Fiorina patted her chest with relief, and the tension on her face finally eased.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't dare to completely let her guard down. She kept her eyes fixed on Link, fearing that something might happen to him.
"..."
Lieyan, who was squatting nearby, looked at Link's weak appearance, opened his mouth, and wanted to scold him harshly.
He felt that Link was too reckless this time and did not consider the consequences at all when taking the meat.
However, when the words came to his lips, Lieyan swallowed them back.
Lieyan knew that if he started to blame Link at this time, Link might feel misunderstood, and it might even cause a rift between father and son.
After all, he is my child. I haven't seen him for so many years. It would be easy to make people annoyed if I pretend to be a strict father as soon as I get to him.
Moreover, comfort and education are more important than blaming.
So he changed his way of saying it, trying to keep his tone as calm as possible.
"The Spinosaurus eats poisonous plants all year round, and its body is full of poison glands. Those glands store highly toxic and poisonous blood, so the decomposition of this monster must be done by professionals. Don't touch it casually."
Considering that this was Link's first time hunting a Spinosaurus, Flame explained to him in a gentle tone.
"Ah, oh oh."
When Link heard this, his expression looked a little dazed, as if he had not yet fully recovered from the thrilling experience.
He nodded mechanically, turned his gaze to the huge Spinosaurus corpse on the ground that was as big as a hill, and couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.
"Fuck, this thing is so big, is it an oversized pufferfish? No, it looks more like a dangerous blue-ringed octopus than a pufferfish."
"Go and have a good rest first. Let me take care of the decomposition of the body."
Lieyan asked Fiolaina to help Link to rest under a tree nearby, and he took out the skinning knife and took on the task.
Even though he has the title of legendary hunter, he has done a lot of dissection work in the past. He has dissected everything from velociraptors to ancient dragons. He definitely deserves the title of master anatomy.
Thirty seconds later, there was one more person lying under the tree.
"Damn, I was careless. It's been a long time since I dissected a monster like Spinosaurus. My skills are a little rusty."
Lieyan held a bottle of antidote in his mouth and drank it in two gulps. He then began to explain while his son and wife were trying to hold back their laughter.
"Yeah, I understand. I understand."
Link nodded with a smile, leaning against the tree trunk and looking up at the sky.
He was afraid that the tears in his eyes would fall and he would be beaten by his father.
"Okay, take a good rest. I'll have the support team come and take the body back."
Fiorina said gently, she patted Lieyan and Link's shoulders lightly, gave them a reassuring smile, then stood up and walked towards the Spinosaurus corpse that was as big as a hill on the ground.
Fiorina walked to the body of the Spinosaurus, took out a flare and lit it, sending out a signal for help.
Before the support team arrived, she took out a few empty bottles from her arms, carefully approached the Spinosaurus corpse, and collected the thick and poisonous blood that slowly flowed out of the wound with a focused look.
This poison not only has a strong effect on humans, but is also a deadly weapon against monsters.
In addition to being used to create various equipment with toxic effects, this poisonous blood can also be blended into various attribute bottles used by archers in daily life, greatly enhancing their effects.
Compared with ordinary poison bottles and paralysis bottles sold in stores, more hunters, especially experienced archers, prefer special bottles that they mix themselves.
Not only are these bottles more powerful, they also last longer.
From low-level red speed dragons to more powerful ancient dragon-level monsters such as the Xialong, poison can be said to be one of the most common elements in this world.
In addition to the poisonous blood, Fiorina also took out the skinning knife she carried with her and began to carefully cut off the densely covered poisonous spines on the Spinosaurus' body one by one, and carefully put them into the prop bag.
These stingers are also rare materials, especially for the archer Link, they are simply tailor-made weapon materials.
These spikes can be used to make arrows. The sharp poisonous spines are definitely not weaker than the ordinary steel arrows sold in stores, and are even stronger in some aspects.
Not only does it have extremely strong penetrating power, it also comes with continuous poison damage. After being made into arrows, it can allow Link to play the role of output in the subsequent hunting process, rather than just being a supporting role.
