Chapter 848: The Advancing Monster
Facing such a powerful enemy, no matter how much preparation time is given to him, Shi Lei would not think it was too much.
Not to mention that reality only gave him two days...
"WAAAGH!!!"
Accompanied by a strange war cry, the green-skinned creatures that appeared on the outskirts of Yuancheng began to advance.
After receiving the news, Shi Lei climbed up the wall as quickly as possible.
"All teams, get ready according to the plan! Quick!"
While shouting, Shi Lei looked outside the wall, and then directly activated the "Eye of Insight" to observe the greenskin troops in the distance.
The ferocity and sturdiness of those green-skinned creatures are basically visible to the naked eye. There are some red lines carved on their green skin, which are almost all over their bodies. They also wear some simple protective gear that only protects vital parts or joints such as the chest, shoulders, and wrists.
The weapons in their hands were not uniform, and could even be said to be varied. Some held a machete, some held an axe, and some held a spear. Basically, they used whatever they could.
Judging from their equipment, they were just like a ragtag army put together from here and there, but from the intelligence he had learned so far, the strength of this ragtag army was quite terrifying! Shi Lei's attention quickly fell on the green-skinned monster among them.
Compared with ordinary greenskins, the monster was four or five meters tall, and it was very conspicuous standing in the team.
At the same time, as mentioned in the intelligence, the monster was carrying a weapon that looked like a battering ram on its shoulder.
Under the observation of the "Eye of Insight", Shi Lei was almost certain that it was a battering ram, but it was removed from the car by the other party.
After the initial observation, Shi Lei temporarily lifted the blessing of the "Eye of Insight".
The distance is still too far now. If you want to check the opponent's attribute panel, you have to wait for him to get closer.
According to specific tests, if you want to use the 'Eye of Insight' to view the panel, the maximum distance between the target and the caster cannot exceed fifty meters, and we are not within that range yet.
As the greenskin troops continued to advance, the burly greenskin monster soon came to the front of the team.
This change was within Shi Lei's expectations.
Just like their Great Zhou's siege troops would first blow up the opposite city gate with a three-bow crossbow, and then the siege troops would begin to advance.
When a tactic is very useful and can bring them the most intuitive effect, why do you need to change it? Isn't that redundant?
These greenskins obviously know this too.
Occupying a high vantage point, Shi Lei's attention was almost entirely focused on the advancing green-skinned monster.
The green-skinned monster looks fat and strong, but it is actually not bulky. As an infantry unit, its movement efficiency is definitely not low.
This also made Shi Lei completely understand that under normal circumstances, the three-bow crossbow could not effectively snipe it.
As his thoughts raced, the green-skinned monster had already entered the fifty-meter area.
Without hesitation, Shi Lei activated the 'Eye of Insight' again to find out what was going on.
But the result surprised him. The expected attribute panel did not appear.
Regarding this situation, their Majesty had specifically mentioned it to him when he bestowed the 'Eye of Insight' on him.
Normally, there are only two situations where you cannot see the target's attribute panel using the 'Eye of Insight'.
One is that the target is not within the identification range of the "Eye of Insight". For example, the "Eye of Insight" cannot see extraordinary creatures like Qiansui.
There is another type, where the target's level is equal to or even higher than that of the caster.
Zhou Xu himself had encountered this situation before, and it was also the most complicated. This "level" was a comprehensive assessment.
According to Zhou Xu's current research, the target's spiritual level, life level, and even individual strength can all be classified into this "level" and will have an impact on this area.
There are too many influencing factors to have an accurate standard.
Shi Lei couldn't figure out the reason for the time being. After all, you said that the green-skinned monster was a supernatural creature, so it was not difficult for him to understand.
Shi Lei did not lose his composure because of the failure of the "Eye of Insight". He took a deep breath and kept his mind clear so that he could work at high speed at any time and respond to any emergency in a timely manner.
During this process, the green monster continued to advance.
The distance of fifty meters can be said to be passed in the blink of an eye. At this moment, the green-skinned monster is less than ten meters away from the city gate.
As the distance continued to narrow, the opponent had even grabbed the battering ram on his shoulder in advance, ready to smash the city gate in front of him.
As a result, at this moment, as the green monster took that step, the ground under his feet suddenly collapsed, causing his huge body to lose balance instantly.
Needless to say, to deal with this extraordinary monster, Shi Lei and his team adopted the simplest, crudest and most primitive method: digging pit traps!
With the labor of 2,500 soldiers, Shi Lei dug a huge pit outside the city gate in the shortest time. The pit was ten meters long and wide, and the depth was more than ten meters!
The existence of this pit directly blocked the city gate on this side of Yuancheng, making it impossible for those inside the city to leave from this side.
But Shi Lei doesn't care about this now!
As long as the difficult monster can be killed, what is this price? With the collapse of the ground, the steel gun hidden at the bottom of the pit was completely exposed to the air. At the bottom of the dim pit, there was still a chill! At this moment, the battering ram in his hand undoubtedly became a burden to the green-skinned monster. In an instant, the steel gun bleeds! The sharp steel gun head directly penetrated the flesh of the green-skinned monster! Then, a deafening roar broke out from the bottom of the pit.
"This is not dead?!"
Hearing that powerful roar, the faces of the soldiers on the wall changed.
Shi Lei was also surprised, but he had prepared himself for the danger in advance, so he controlled his emotions in time and issued the order as quickly as possible!
"Quick! Hot oil!!"
On top of the walls of Yuancheng, large pots of hot oil had already been boiling.
At this moment, regardless of the cost, all of them were poured into the hole under the wall.
At the same time, each archer leaned half of his body out of the wall and shot the lit arrows in his hand towards the pit!
Instantly, accompanied by shrill screams, flames shot up from the huge pit, startling the soldiers on the wall.
Even if kerosene was poured in the past, it would never be poured so crazily. This was the first time they had seen such an exaggerated scene.
I thought to myself, 'Is this the last time I'll die?'
But the screams that continued to come from the fire pit kept reminding them that the monster was still alive.
And at this moment, a huge burning hand suddenly stretched out from the flames that were rising into the sky, and then its fingers grabbed the ground outside the pit fiercely!
"WAAAGH!!!"
