Chapter 580 - 397: This broadsword is bigger than her by a whole circle
Perhaps because the edge of the pit was already filled with statues, these statues climbing out began to spread around.
And, just like in the giant pit of the Transmission Array, they surrounded the treehouse, forming a circle.
Xu Xin then discovered that the intermediate mutant creature statues appearing here seemed...
To be even more numerous than those around the giant pit in the Transmission Array!
They surrounded the area tightly, seemingly not wanting anyone to leave.
At the same time, the pterosaur statue leaped from the pit, its massive body soaring onto the ground.
The sound of its gigantic stone body striking the ground made the group that was arguing just now shiver.
"Shut up!" Xu Xin hissed at Zeng Tao, "Talking so loudly, are you trying to lure this big guy over here?"
"I..." Zeng Tao had no retort and could only turn to glare fiercely at Xu Xin.
At that moment, the pterosaur statue outside the treehouse began to move.
Its wings suddenly spread open violently!
The pair of enormous wings slashed through the space within a ten-meter radius like sharp blades, slicing through several trees around it, cutting them in half as if they were made of tofu!
Xu Xin initially thought that the pterosaur statue’s massive ten-meter wingspan would be unable to unfold in the forest, thus it should be somewhat constrained among the trees.
But the scene before him shattered his expectations!
So powerful!
"Boom!"
Not only were the trees cut, but also those touched by other parts of its wings were directly knocked down, all falling into the snow layer only tens of centimeters thick.
The ten-meter wingspan of the gigantic wings fully unfolded in the forest, creating an incredibly intense visual impact for the four people inside the treehouse!
At the same time, the pterosaur statue’s eyes emitted a fierce red glow, letting out a sharp and piercing scream toward the treehouse.
The scream was long and piercing, reaching straight into the sky!
"Heavens!" Zeng Tao, who had been by the window talking about going out, instinctively stepped back, "This... this is..."
Xu Xin’s heart sank.
Such sharp, such hard wings!
He had thought the pterosaur’s main attack method should be its mouth, but unexpectedly, these wings were also such strong weapons!
Fortunately, after screeching at the treehouse, the pterosaur did not personally advance to attack.
"I said it before, this pterosaur statue likely has the strength of a high-level mutant creature!" Lou Fei’Er spoke.
Her body was already trembling slightly, and her face had turned pale.
She instinctively wanted to grab Xu Xin’s arm to gain some sense of security but managed to restrain herself.
"Are you...?" Qin Fu noticed Lou Fei’Er’s unusual behavior and frowned.
"... suppressing effect from the mutant creature’s level. I... fear I lack combat capability in front of this pterosaur..." Lou Fei’Er said honestly, as both of them were aware of her mutation.
"This..." Zeng Tao was a bit dumbfounded, "Are mutant creatures really suppressed by levels like this?"
At this point, the statues surrounding the treehouse began making new moves!
They started adopting poses as if they were hunting beasts soon to attack, slowly closing in on the treehouse.
They were evidently preparing to probe with an attack!
Qin Fu immediately drew his bow at the window.
The bow was fully drawn, with arrows ready to be released.
"Should we attack?" Qin Fu kept changing the direction he aimed his bow.
He initially aimed at the pterosaur statue but hesitated for a moment before moving his aim away.
The statues had not yet entered the automatic attack range of the heavy crossbow, but Qin Fu’s purple-grade bow could reach them.
Lou Fei’Er instinctively glanced at Xu Xin.
Seeing Xu Xin slightly nodding, she immediately said, "Attack! They’ve already surrounded us! If we don’t attack now, it’ll be too late!"
Qin Fu immediately released the bowstring.
The arrow was swiftly shot out, piercing through a statue’s head accurately!
Qin Fu did not pause in his actions, pulling one arrow after another from the quiver, shooting rapidly toward the outside of the treehouse.
The speed of shooting was astonishingly fast!
His actions were so swift that they seemed almost supernatural!
This is the advantage of archery!
The crossbow reloads slowly and shoots in slow succession, it’s impossible to achieve this kind of speed.
For rapid firing, the solution could be to equip several crossbows.
But the power of crossbow bolts can’t be guaranteed, after all, it’s impractical to make several purple-grade crossbows, right?
The backup crossbows Ji Chaoyang had prepared were only green-grade.
However, because they have explosive bolts, this disadvantage is minimized.
In archery, this can be compensated by the archer’s skill and strength.
A highly skilled archer using a purple-grade bow can shoot rapidly without any issues.
This guy, no wonder he’s ranked second in the entire Region 188.
Although the bow in his hands is wooden, don’t underestimate wood bows.
Know that suitable high-quality wood is the most suitable material for making a bow, rather than metal.
The toughness and strength of wood are key to a good bow.
As for so-called iron-reinforced bows, they merely have iron embedded into a wooden body.
Furthermore, iron-reinforced bows aren’t mainstream; a powerful high-grade bow doesn’t need metal for its making.
Mixing in metal makes it harder to draw and lacks resilience.
This is why the purple-grade wooden bow in Qin Fu’s hand is such a powerful purple-grade bow!
Of course, though the bow itself doesn’t require metal, arrows do.
Iron arrows are surely stronger than wooden or stone arrows.
The arrows Qin Fu shot are blue-grade stone arrows.
The power should be equivalent to a green-level iron arrow.
No one in Zone 187 has opened a gold treasure chest, so no one can use iron ore.
Similarly, even those who can smelt iron blocks would be reluctant to use precious iron blocks to make iron arrows that are essentially consumables.
Except for those in Zone 188.
Because of Li Wenxi, they have more than enough green-level iron blocks, so using up some is no problem.
If Qin Fu could join Zone 188, there would naturally be plenty of iron arrows.
By the way, can he use a bow and arrow while wearing purple steel armor?
After all, the abilities of purple steel armor are somewhat like weapon mastery.
Shaking his head, Xu Xin refocused his thoughts on the actions of the Wyvern statue.
Under the assault of arrows, countless statues were hit, but the Wyvern statue remained motionless, only gazing silently at Xu Xin and the others inside the treehouse.
Just like it did when they were in the giant pit.
Will the Wyvern statue not attack?
That makes things much easier!
After firing dozens of arrows, Qin Fu stopped his actions.
He looked a bit helpless.
Each of the mutant stone creatures that had their heads pierced by swift arrows only paused slightly.
Then, as if nothing had happened, with an arrow through their heads, they continued to slowly approach the treehouse.
They had already tightened the encirclement from about a hundred meters to around eighty meters.
"These statues, getting shot in the head won’t kill them?" Qin Fu was frustrated, "This... I’m useless then."
An archer’s greatest role is to shoot weak points and kill with one hit, but since normal biological weak points don’t exist on these statues, his role is indeed nullified.
After all, without targeting weak points, the destructive power of arrows is pitifully small; at best, they just pass through.
His last few arrows tried different positions but achieved no effect.
Qin Fu put down his bow and helplessly shrugged, "I’ll have to rely on you guys."
Indeed, these intermediate mutant stone creatures are different from those low-level mutant stone creatures.
They have no weak points!
That’s quite troublesome.
"I’ll go down and have a look!" Zeng Tao glanced at the Wyvern outside and saw it wasn’t moving, bit her lip, and swung herself onto the windowsill.
"What are you doing?" Lou Fei’Er rushed forward to hold onto Zeng Tao, "You won’t really jump down, will you? Jumping directly from seven or eight meters high?"
"Relax." Zeng Tao easily pried Lou Fei’Er’s hand away, "I’m not like that coward behind you; I’m really strong."
With that, she jumped straight down.
"Hey!" Lou Fei’Er couldn’t stop her and could only watch her jump down.
Xu Xin looked a little speechless.
That little one couldn’t resist mocking him before jumping.
"Boom!"
The three stretched their necks to look and saw Zeng Tao land firmly on the ground, without any flip or buffer.
The pose was like a superhero landing.
A bit impressive.
But on a little girl, it seemed a bit out of place.
Zeng Tao stood up, twisted her neck, then reached for her backpack and pulled out a stone sword longer and wider than herself.
The whole sword emitted a blue glow.
It’s a blue-level stone sword.
This sword is so huge!
Even bigger than the sword Xu Xin made for Wang Lei!
How did she make it?
Where did she get the blueprint?
Could it be her ability?
Before Xu Xin could continue thinking, she looked up and said, "Hey, Mr. Yan, watch closely."
With that, she carried the large sword and charged into the stone statue group.
Xu Xin wanted to laugh.
That little one was clearly influenced by the affinity boost.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t want to display her strength in front of him so badly.
In general, towards those you truly dislike, you’d rather ignore them.
Zeng Tao had already charged to the front of the statue group, swung her large sword, and swept towards the surrounding statues.
The surrounding statues had already noticed her; as she swept over, they also leapt up to launch attacks on her.
"Ka ka ka—!"
Before the statue’s attack could reach her, the large sword had already swept across them.
Zeng Tao stood in the midst of statues that had been cut apart or even smashed, and with a loud "boom," slammed the large heavy-looking sword onto the ground.
Immediately, the ground cracked, and the surrounding snow layer was shattered.
The statues nearby that hadn’t been damaged all stepped back.
They all seemed to develop an emotion called fear towards Zeng Tao.
Even the Wyvern statue shifted its gaze to her.
"Hiss..." Xu Xin took a light breath.
Another Female War God.
And one entirely focused on physical prowess.
A loli Female War God wielding a sword bigger than herself!
