Chapter 29 Bloodthirsty Tank Herd
It’s night.
Jiang Lan stood on the roof of an eighteen-story building and looked down quietly.
The once prosperous county town has become devastated with the passage of time and the trampling of monsters.
The faint smell of rust in the air seems to linger.
Only a few of the cars and bicycles parked on the roadside can be seen in their original appearance, and many more have been destroyed into a pile of parts by countless waves of monsters.
The desolate streets were deserted, with only a few faint roars of beasts ringing through the silent night.
"Dong——dong——"
In the originally quiet street, there were sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground.
Even Jiang Lan, who was standing on the top of the eighteenth floor, could feel a faint vibration under his feet.
Coming!
Jiang Lan clenched the golden feather halberd in his hand and stared at the empty street below with all his attention.
In his field of vision, a group of pig monsters slowly appeared from the other side of the street.
The number seems to be more than thirty.
The most conspicuous among them is a pig-like monster that is all red and as big as a tank in the middle of the herd.
Bloodthirsty tank!
Jiang Lan's eyes flickered. He had just discovered this bloodthirsty tank herd.
And according to the description in the official monster encyclopedia, the size and color of this bloodthirsty tank has probably reached the peak of the intermediate beast general level, and is only a short step away from breaking through to become a high level beast general.
The herd following it included more than thirty various pig monsters, among which there was a more conspicuous one with a single horn on its forehead, and it was also quite large.
This is also a beast general.
The junior beast general, the one-horned wild boar.
Jiang Lan's chest kept rising and falling.
He was hesitating whether to go up or not.
According to his estimation, his current speed has reached the threshold of a junior war god, while his strength is still at the stage of a senior warrior.
If there was only one bloodthirsty tank, Jiang Lan wouldn't have hesitated for so long and would have killed it long ago.
But the herd...
Monsters are not as powerful as warriors. Whether it is strength or speed, they are much stronger than warriors of the same level. Moreover, the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, so even with a weapon, one or two hits may not be able to kill it.
In comparison, the body of a warrior is much weaker.
Without the protection of a combat uniform, if you were to face a monster of the same level, even if you were lucky enough to survive, you would probably be seriously injured.
As for the herd led by this bloodthirsty tank, even experienced high-level generals have to stay away from the edge for the time being.
If you want to challenge the entire herd alone, only the strong God of War can give it a try.
That's it, and you still have to take the risk of getting hurt.
Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. Although the others are just beast soldiers, even Jiang Lan will not get much benefit if they are surrounded by these guys.
But even so, he still didn't want to give up.
Because this group of wild boars are obviously not local pigs.
Judging from the direction the herd is heading, it should be heading straight out of the city.
If he missed it this time, he might not be able to find the pigs again.
Jiang Lan held the halberd's hand a little tighter.
After a moment, he gritted his teeth sharply.
Done!
If a person dies, a bird will look up to the sky, and he will not die for tens of thousands of years.
There may not be a few herds of this size in the entire county-level city No. 0201.
If he missed it, he would regret it for a long time.
Moreover, Jiang Lan was at least 90% sure about dealing with this herd of beasts. Even if it didn't work, he would most likely be able to escape unscathed.
If you want to become stronger, it is definitely not possible without any cost.
He can indeed achieve planets and even stars by hunting weak monsters. But what about after that?
Can I still kill slimes in Novice Village?
If he doesn't even dare to take this risk, then even if his strength really improves in the future, he will only be able to bully the weak.
The strong must dare to show their sword to the stronger!
What's more, this group of pig heads is just that.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lan stepped on the ground with one foot, and his whole body suddenly shot up, like a cannonball, straight towards the wild boars on the street below.
The halberd in his hand drew an arc in mid-air and went straight to stab the bloodthirsty tank in the center of the herd.
In less than two seconds, Jiang Lan landed with a crash.
"Ouch——"
To Jiang Lan's expectation, his attack failed.
At the last moment, the bloodthirsty tank actually reacted and narrowly avoided Jiang Lan's halberd blade.
There was a commotion among the beasts, but with the roar of the bloodthirsty tank, they all turned their attention to Jiang Lan, their hooves pawing uneasily.
The bloodthirsty tank was covered in scales and rushed towards Jiang Lan, who was less than one meter away.
Jiying!
Jiang Lan jumped up several meters in an instant and retreated.
It is definitely not a good idea to remain surrounded by the beasts after failing to succeed in one attack.
Under siege, even he could only be slowly consumed to death.
As soon as he landed, before Jiang Lan could make another move, he caught a glimpse of a sharp horn out of the corner of his eye.
One-horned boar!
The one-horned wild boar was very fast and rushed straight towards Jianglan.
The distance between the two is less than three meters, which seems not close, but the sprint speed of the one-horned wild boar is about 100 meters per second.
Therefore, it can reach this distance of three meters in about 0.03 seconds.
And among these 0.03 seconds, the actual reaction time left for Jiang Lan was less than half.
Cold hairs all over his body stood up in an instant, and Jiang Lan hurriedly turned sideways to dodge.
"Bang!"
Although Jiang Lan reacted quickly, he was still hit firmly in the abdomen by the one-horned wild boar.
The only thing he was thankful for was that he avoided the sharp horn and was only hit by a small half of the one-horned boar's head.
But despite this, Jiang Lan was still knocked backwards by the huge impact for more than ten meters, then turned around in the air and landed on the ground with his feet.
"Damn you, just fight when you fight, how can you kill me?"
Jiang Lan's stomach was filled with turmoil.
If it weren't for the protection of the combat uniform, half of his life would have been at stake just now.
The bloodthirsty tank was in the center of the herd, blocked by other monsters, and did not come out for a while.
On the contrary, the one-horned wild boar that had just succeeded in the attack seemed to have tasted the sweetness. Bloodthirsty light flashed in its eyes, and with a roar, it suddenly lowered its head and charged towards Jiang Lan again.
Jiang Lan's eyes narrowed, and he instantly raised his halberd with his right hand and stabbed straight at the one-horned wild boar.
"laugh--"
The entire pig's head was pierced by the halberd. Under the action of inertia, the halberd even penetrated the entire head of the one-horned wild boar, and the tip of the halberd penetrated from the back of the one-horned wild boar's neck.
"Do you really think I'm useless?"
Jiang Lan twisted his wrist fiercely, and the halberd directly stirred inside the head of the one-horned wild boar.
The one-horned wild boar that was originally frozen in place suddenly twitched, and then fell to the ground.
But because his head was supported by Jiang Lan's halberd, he ended up in a slightly weird standing posture.
Drawing out the halberd, the one-horned wild boar fell to the ground.
Looking at the beasts again, Jiang Lan was full of fighting spirit.
He lifted his halberd and charged forward.
"die!"
