This method of attack is one of the few ways to kill the petrified bull.

Even its eyelids have extremely high defensive capabilities, and ordinary ammunition is difficult to penetrate.

In the past, only sharpshooters could kill them easily.

With a wave of his hand, the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid gathered in Carl's hand.

It began to transform rapidly and soon turned into a Gatling gun.

Looking ahead of him, Carl found that there were no humans except those monsters.

The magic patterns of the rapid-fire weapon began to rapidly appear on the gun body, and then the continuous sound of gunfire drowned out the sound of the petrified bull's hooves.

“Da da da…”

At the muzzle of the gun, blue magic flames continued, and bullets formed by magic poured out like raindrops.

Carl could clearly feel that his connection with the external magic power caused considerable pressure on his soul.

But fortunately, the effect of the intelligence headband helped offset some of the pressure.

The bullets hit the skin of the petrified monsters, making a tinkling sound.

In just a few breaths, several petrified bulls and petrified lizards that were charging forward died because they suffered too much damage.

A single bullet can't cause much damage to these monsters with extremely high natural armor, but the problem is that the Gatling gun's firepower is very strong! Even if a bullet only has a forced health loss of a little, a petrified bull can only last for three seconds at most.

"My efforts in the dream world have not been in vain, but the power of a single bullet needs to be improved. V!"

Enduring the dizziness, Carl stopped attacking and called on V to take him away from the battlefield.

The adventurers behind him were all stunned at this moment.

What kind of weapon was that just now? This is too brutal! All the petrified bulls were shot to death. Are you more powerful than a group of magic archers? Although this is what many adventurers think, it is actually far from being as good as they think.

It seemed that quite a few petrified bulls had fallen, but only the few in the front were actually dead. The rest were tripped by the corpses in front of them.

Carl is now temporarily out of service due to overusing his brain. The nearly half-minute bombardment almost burned out his CPU.

"So brave! Whose family is he from?"

On the city wall, the general who was commanding the battle's eyes lit up, and he asked his deputy beside him for information about Carl.

The deputy thought about it for a moment and then told Karl's identity information.

Just as Nia had guessed before, the information about Carl and other machinists had already been mastered by the City Lord's Mansion.

When the general heard that Carl was from the Tower of Wonders, a look of loss appeared on his face.

Few of Acarnicus's men joined the army, and even if they did, they were generally not assigned to work under him.

At this moment, there was a noise in the sky, and a series of fireballs fell from the sky and exploded in the team of petrified bulls.

The adventurers looked up and saw some mages riding floating brooms waving their battle wizard wands, preparing for the next round of bombing.

Arkanix's reinforcements have arrived.

"Sure enough, this kind of thing should be left to the people of the Shaping School to solve, and they can also make some extra money along the way."

Covering his forehead, Carl looked at the fireball exploding on the ground and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There are indeed too many petrified monsters attacking the city, and if things go wrong, there may be casualties in the city.

The adventurers were good at defending but not good at attacking. By the time they resolved the crisis outside the city, all the people left in the villages outside might have died.

Only mages can cause effective damage quickly.

'I'll have to prepare some fireball wands in my dimensional bag later.'

Reminding himself of this, Carl returned to the city with the help of V.

The several petrified bulls and petrified lizards he had killed before have been put into V's dimensional bag. Although this battle was short, it was still a fruitful one.

After returning to the store, Carl told Nia and Ying what had just happened, and then handed the dimensional bag containing the petrified bull to Nia.

"So, a portal leading to the underground city appeared in the west of the city? It appeared at this time, I'm afraid someone opened it on purpose."

After accepting the dimensional bag, Nia lowered her head and analyzed the information she got from Carl.

"Don't worry, the teachers in the academy will take care of it. When I came back, the seniors from the Shaping School had already arrived. Maybe they can launch a counterattack later.

You should hurry up and make some petrified lizard essential oil, maybe you can sell it for a good price."

After taking off his power armor, Carl sat down on the rocking chair.

Nia took out the corpses of the petrified lizard and the petrified bull and began to make petrified lizard essential oil.

Calmly feeling the growth of his own spirituality and the gradual calming of the exhaustion of his soul, Carl let out a long sigh, feeling a sense of relief as if he had recovered from excessive exercise.

Not long after, soldiers arrived at the door.

"Here are three petrified lizard corpses. You need to make six bottles of petrified lizard essential oil. Are you capable of doing it?"

Generally speaking, one petrified lizard corpse can produce about three bottles of essential oil, but considering the craftsmanship, two bottles is a bit of a limit for ordinary people.

However, Nia readily agreed and asked Ying and V to collect blood and gastric juice again.

She then started making essential oils herself.

Soon, the soldier who had just come to the door returned again, and Nia delivered the essential oil.

…

"Hoo~, big brother! Let's evacuate, there are too many monsters."

In the village west of the city, the trio was trying their best to deal with the petrified lizards and petrified bulls that had fled here.

A stupid big guy like the petrified bull is relatively easy to deal with, but a petrified lizard that can petrify people just by staring at them is a bit dangerous.

The halfling assassins were trained in blind-fighting and could fight basilisks with their eyes closed, but the remaining warforged and shifters were not so skilled.

Relying on their good luck, the two of them were immune to the petrification effect several times thanks to their physical fitness, but they knew that luck would not always be on their side, so they did not dare to stay here.

The original survivors in the village had almost all been killed by the monsters at this time. Stone statues with fearful expressions were scattered throughout the village, making the already desolate village even more eerie.

"Escape? Where to escape? Can we outrun the petrified bull? These two groups of monsters are now adapting to the new environment. If we want to get back alive, the best way is to wait for the people of Akanix City to come to rescue us!"

As the eldest halfling, he obviously had some knowledge. After quickly explaining the situation to his two sworn brothers and sisters, he nimbly led them to the roof, avoiding the sight of a petrified lizard.

But there were also many petrified lizards outside the house, and even more petrified lizards and petrified bulls ran out to the west.

"Could it be that the bastard who opened the Khyber portal actually opened up Orlask's territory? Why are there so many petrified monsters? What do they eat? Won't the food chain collapse?"

The halfling angrily cursed the person who opened the portal, but he didn't know that the culprit had turned into a stone statue and was being eaten by several petrified lizards.

His subordinates did not have a good end either. Some were trampled to death by petrified bulls, and some were turned into stone statues.

It can be said that their sacrifice was a complete disaster that harmed others and benefited themselves.

The only one who survived was the gnoll. As a follower of the traveler, he saved his life by using the magic of travel.

But at this moment, his life is like a candle in the wind.

"Tell me! Where did you know about this sacrificial ceremony?"

On a cliff somewhere, the team of Breland soldiers that Carl and his team had encountered before tied a werewolf to a rock and kept whipping him with a long whip.

The already sloppy-looking werewolf was now covered in bloody wounds. The blood had stuck his hair together, making him look like a stray dog ​​that was about to die.

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me! I really don't know. I bought this from another wanted criminal when I was in Black Abyss!"

Howling in pain, the werewolf's voice was very hoarse, obviously his throat was damaged due to long-term crying and shouting.

"You are still being stubborn! If you are not a member of the Yellow Springs Dragon Society, how could you obtain this ritual, and actually successfully open the portal! Come on, petrify him!"

As he finished speaking, two soldiers came forward with a can and poured the contents on the werewolf.

That was the breath of the petrified bull, collected in a special container.

"Captain! What should we do next? The prophecy we learned from the society ends here. We have no clues about the Huangquan Dragon Society."

After putting the petrified gnoll into a coffin-like box, the team's adjutant stepped forward and asked about the next plan.

The leading soldier glanced at his companions, and then took off his Breland armor.

"Let's go to Tonglu City! Although I am not a vassal of the family, I am still the holder of the Passing Dragon Mark. They should be able to provide us with some help. Moreover, we are here to deal with the Huangquan Dragon Society. There is no reason for the family to stand aside and watch!"

Seeing this, the adjutant beside him also took off his Breland military uniform.

"It's better to let the family tell Breland that even though we killed those soldiers and took their equipment, we also took emergency measures."

It is not difficult to hear from these words that they are not real soldiers of Breland, and the equipment they are wearing was also snatched from a group of Breland soldiers.

The captain didn't really care about this matter. It was just a few soldiers who died, and it was impossible for Breland to use the prophecy spell to find the murderer. If they explained, wouldn't they be walking into a trap?

"Let's not talk about this anymore. The most urgent thing is to find a safe place to rest. Look over there, there are so many petrified monsters. I wouldn't be surprised if Medusa or something like that appeared. We have to leave here as soon as possible."
