Chapter 37 The First Round of Mutated Beasts
In the dark night, Wen Ning could hear every subtle movement clearly.
The oppressive feeling was getting closer and closer, but there was nothing in front of him. Wen Ning suppressed the panic in his heart.
Master once said that unknown enemies are not as scary as we imagine; what is scary is our own cowardly heart!
So Wen Ning waited patiently until a certain moment, a pair of red eyes lit up in the darkness.
Staring straight at Wen Ning's face.
My breathing stopped!
A chill rose up from my back and rushed straight to my head!
Then, one pair, two pairs!
Countless mutant beasts appeared in Wen Ning's field of vision, their blood-red pupils showing their allure!
The hair was still the same white color as the day before, but the surface of the body seemed to be covered with a layer of black fluid substance.
It looked sticky and disgusting, as if it had been splashed with black paint.
You can tell at a glance that this slime cannot be touched!
Leading the group were a group of mutant wolves, with strange light in their red eyes, and ferocious beasts such as bears, lions, and leopards gradually appeared behind them.
These mutant beasts, instead of their usual solitary nature, swarmed together.
His feet stepped on the snow in front of Wen Ning's door, anxiously waiting for the attack.
Wen Ning could no longer count how many mutant beasts there were within his field of vision.
The sky had gone completely dark, and with the help of the torch, Wen Ning could barely see behind the many mutant beasts.
In a faint circle of light, mutant beasts appeared one after another out of thin air.
As time went on, more and more mutant beasts appeared around the shelter.
A low growl gradually came, and the heavy breathing showed the mutant beast's impatience.
I don’t know why, these mutant beasts were digging the ground anxiously but just didn’t rush up.
Could it be that the torches in the shelter have a deterrent effect on these mutant beasts?
Wen Ning didn't dare to let his guard down, because at this moment, a system announcement sounded.
[System Announcement: According to your shelter score, this beast tide will consist of three rounds and the attack duration will be 4 hours. 】
[When the shelter's solidity value drops to zero or all mutant beasts are cleared, the beast tide will end early. 】
[This mutated beast tide will be included in the rankings, and survival supplies packages will be distributed uniformly after the system is updated]
[The first round of beast tide is about to begin, 3, 2, 1!] 】
You have quite a martial ethics! There is also a countdown.
roar! ! ! ! !
The leader's roar seemed to turn on some kind of switch!
In an instant, all the mutant beasts became agitated and rushed towards Wen Ning's shelter.
Dozens of huge mutant beasts rushed straight towards the wall of Wen Ning's shelter.
Wen Ning moved quickly. Although these mutant beasts were terrifying, their jumping ability was indeed quite poor.
He ran into Wen Ning's courtyard wall and jumped several times but failed to climb over the top.
I could only run around anxiously down there.
"snort!"
Wen Ning went directly to the outermost layer and took out a cross compound crossbow.
Hold the crossbow with both hands, no need for a scope at all,
Load, aim, and pull the trigger!
puff!
The sound of breaking through the air was extremely small and shot straight into the mutant beasts.
“Ouch!”
A miserable voice rang out, along with the piercing sound of a wolf howling, and Wen Ning felt relieved!
The wolf closest to Wen Ning was pierced directly by a crossbow arrow in its mouth. The crossbow arrow penetrated its head, then came out from the back of its neck and went straight into the body of the sheep behind it.
Suddenly, screams were heard everywhere.
The mutant wolf died instantly, its body flying backwards due to the huge impact.
Bring down a large number of mutant beasts.
This is the powerful power of the crossbow!
Wen Ning had a sullen face and was busy pulling out another crossbow arrow.
The unwilling mutant wolf turned into two balls of light before it even touched the corner of Wen Ning's clothes.
There was no time to take care of the spoils, as another mutant wolf had already stepped on the mutant sheep under its feet and climbed over the wall!
He rushed forward with the spear in his hand and stabbed to death the mutant wolf that was stepping on other mutant beasts and rushing to the top of the wall.
He took out a crossbow arrow and loaded it in two seconds!
The crossbow is worthy of being the king of cold weapons in individual combat, and it is very convenient to load.
Wen Ning almost completed the operation single-handedly.
There is no need to consider aiming. At such a close distance, just shoot directly at the place where the beast tide is densest and that's it!
Wen Ning's men exerted their strength to swing the crossbow up, and then relied on inertia to level the crossbow.
Choose the right moment and pull the trigger.
The next second, two or three screams were heard one after another!
One arrow, three hits!
This is the true power of the close combat crossbow. An inch shorter, an inch stronger!
Its penetrating power is inversely proportional to its range!
At such a close distance, there is no need to aim. Just shoot into the middle of the herd and you will definitely hit it!
On the other side, Wen Ning's spear did not stop.
With a swift move, he stabbed the target and pulled it back with sticky blood!
In the darkness, there were more injured mutant beasts than dead ones.
The sobbing never stopped.
There was even a faint, frightened voice.
Wen Ning frowned, looking at the mutant beast in front of him that was somewhat timid and did not dare to move forward, and speculations arose in his mind.
This mutant beast has thoughts?
This is bad!
Wen Ning looked at the frightened mutant deer and mutant sheep in front of him, and a strong sense of vigilance rose in his heart.
Although these mutant beasts are numerous.
But if you are still as thoughtless as yesterday and only have a single attack mode.
Wen Ning can also use traps to delay and dodge, so killing is not a difficult task.
But now the situation is much more complicated than we imagined!
Animals have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm, and they will be afraid.
But animals also have the wisdom to hunt together and work together as a group.
It was clear from seeing that there were only herbivores in front of them that the wolves that had suffered at the hands of Wen Ning just now had retreated to the second line.
Driving the mutant sheep and other animals in front consumed Wen Ning's physical strength and ammunition.
He adjusted the formation by howling wolves in the rear.
Watching closely, waiting for the right opportunity to strike!
"We can't drag it on like this!"
With a slight chill in his heart, Wen Ning raised the crossbow in his hand, but this time his target was not the sheep in front of him.
Instead, he passed the flock of sheep and aimed at the wolves watching the fight from behind.
There were about seven or eight wolves in the pack, as well as a leopard and several lions.
The blind bear was killed by Wen Ning's several spear strikes.
These waiting players were just waiting for the right moment to rush forward and tear Wen Ning into pieces.
Wen Ning's arrow came so fast and hard that the wolves that had gathered together had no time to dodge and were pierced by the crossbow arrow on the spot!
“Ouch!!”
[Trigger a critical hit!] 】
Wen Ning's face lit up with joy, and he immediately looked up. A mutant wolf was killed on the spot, and all the mutant beasts within five meters around it were seriously injured.
As he flew out, a lot of frost condensed around his body, making his movements much slower!
Wen Ning seized the opportunity, cocked the bow, aimed, and shot!
A lion fell to the ground!
The mutant beast affected by the critical hit recovered and immediately started moving quickly, growling to warn the surrounding mutant beasts to be careful of Wen Ning's crossbow arrows.
However, the injured mutant beast's movements were still much slower.
Wen Ning immediately changed tactics.
He focused his attention on dealing with the group of mutant beasts under his feet.
They huddled together, but since they couldn't climb up Wen Ning's wall, they could only keep ramming into each other.
The stone wall under Wen Ning's feet gradually showed signs of loosening.
This forced Wen Ning to speed up the process of dealing with the mutant beast under his feet.
In the intervals, he would seize the opportunity and shoot crossbow arrows into the wolves that were looking for opportunities outside.
As time went by, more and more mutant beasts died at Wen Ning's hands.
The wolves on the periphery gradually became restless.
They dispersed, even though Wen Ning's crossbow had a low hit rate.
But the critical hit rate is high, 30% critical hit, and if you are lucky, one critical hit will occur among three arrows!
Each critical hit will cause impact damage to mutant beasts within a 5-meter range.
Then Wen Ning always managed to seize the opportunity to shoot an arrow and kill a mutant beast.
After several attempts, most of the wolves were killed by Wen Ning, and the rest were injured.
The mutant leopard said: Don’t come again! You've shaken my brains all over!
