Chapter 29: Strange Beast
"Roar..."
At that moment, the roars suddenly became louder, deafening, and swept across in a mighty manner.
At the end of the western street, about two hundred meters away, a red figure ran from the other side. Wherever it passed, snowflakes rolled, and the momentum was amazing...
Is this a strange beast?
Their appearance made Li Meng look over at the first time and saw them running in the snow.
They were all red, darker in color, running on four legs. Their bodies were similar to pit bulls, but they had no fur, as if they had been skinned. Occasionally, a piece of red scales could be seen on their red skin.
Compared to pit bulls, their heads were more ferocious, with red faces, fangs, and a pair of golden pupils.
Their bodies were even larger, more than two meters tall and no less than five meters long...
There were five of them, biting each other while running, as if they were fighting for the prey that was about to be caught.
They were very fast, and they crossed a distance of 100 meters in less than ten seconds. They were getting closer and closer to the soldiers lined up on the street, and had entered the range of 100 meters...
Seeing this, facing the beasts rushing over with great momentum, Li Meng shouted: "Archers, attack immediately and kill them..."
As Li Meng's words fell, the imperial archers who had already prepared for the attack released the bowstrings...
"Swish..."
Amid the sound of the bowstring rebounding, twenty sharp arrows broke through the air and turned into a sharp blade to attack the beasts.
The distance of less than 100 meters was reached in an instant, and twenty iron arrows fell into the group of beasts one after another...
"Chi Chi... Roar..."
Only a few dull roars were heard, and iron arrows nailed the beasts one by one, and the arrowheads penetrated into them.
The five beasts that were running wildly paused, rolled into the snow, and raised pieces of snowflakes.
"Roar..."
This is not the end. Amid the roar, the five huge red figures, who had fallen in the snow, got up again, rushed out of the snow curtain with iron arrows piercing their bodies, and continued to pounce on the enemy...
Close, close enough...
In those golden pupils, Li Meng saw anger and the desire for killing.
"Swish..."
The imperial archer put the bow on the arrow again and released the bowstring.
Another black sharp blade broke through the air and crashed into the group of strange beasts dozens of meters away.
"Swish..."
The head of a strange beast was hit by an iron arrow, piercing through the eye, and the entire iron arrow was almost one-third immersed.
It let out a wail, rolled to the ground, and slid more than ten meters in the snow before stopping and no longer moving.
Seeing this, Li Meng's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said: "Aim at their eyes, spearmen, prepare to defend against the enemy..."
The imperial archer drew his bow again, but it was too late...
The angry beast roared and crashed into the imperial spearmen's formation.
At the moment of contact, the beast opened its huge and ferocious mouth and bit the imperial spearmen. Its huge body even crashed into the imperial spearmen's formation with brute force.
At the moment of contact, the imperial spearmen's formation collapsed and was smashed to pieces.
"Scatter..."
Seeing a huge beast rushing towards him like a heavy tank, the imperial spearmen were knocked away wherever they passed. Li Meng only had time to roar and pounce to the side to avoid the beast's impact and fell into the snow.
For a moment, a melee broke out at the crossroads.
The beast used its huge body to charge through the crowd, biting its prey with its ferocious mouth. Once bitten by the beast, the seemingly solid armor of the imperial spearmen would be torn apart by the beast's teeth, and the body would be torn into pieces in the beast's mouth.
The imperial spearmen were not human beings. They did not know fear, let alone terror.
Although the beast broke up the formation of the imperial spearmen, they soon reacted.
Li Meng took off his helmet and spit out the cold snow in his mouth, and climbed up from the ground, looking at the chaotic battlefield around him.
The beast charged through the crowd, and the imperial spearmen rushed towards the beast with their spears in both hands. The sharp spearhead pierced into the body of the beast, trying to stop the beast, but it was useless. The beast's vitality was very tenacious, and there were scales outside the skin, so the spearhead could not penetrate deeply. Every time the beast opened its mouth, an imperial spearman would be bitten.
Once bitten by the beast, the sharp teeth of the beast would tear the body of the imperial spearman apart with just a few shakes of the head.
Although the beasts were ferocious and rampaged in the crowd, there were only five of them. Under the siege of the imperial spearmen, two of them died under the spears of the imperial spearmen in less than a minute. Their bodies were full of blood holes, and even their pupils were pierced, and golden liquid flowed out.
"Throw, throw attack..."
Seeing that the imperial spearmen and the imperial archers could not kill the remaining three beasts for a long time, Li Meng suddenly thought of the iron spears used by the hunting team...
Hearing this, the imperial spearmen who obeyed the order no longer used their bodies to block the rampaging beasts, and threw their spears at the beasts.
"Swish, swish..."
As one spear after another pierced the body of the alien beast, the beast that had been charging forward finally fell to the ground, wailing and struggling in the snow...
After a while, the three alien beasts fell one after another...
The imperial archer drew his bow and arrow, aimed at the huge golden pupil of the alien beast under his feet, and released the bowstring.
"Swish..."
A black sharp edge flashed by, and the iron arrow shot out pierced into the pupil of the alien beast, and the entire iron arrow was immersed in one third.
The rolling golden liquid flowed out of the eyes, and the huge body of the alien beast stopped struggling, and was quickly frozen and became stiff.
This was the last alien beast, and with its death, it announced that Li Meng's side had won the final victory.
The battle lasted for a short time, from their appearance to now, it would not exceed ten minutes.
But in these ten minutes, more than ten imperial spearmen were killed by them, their bodies were torn apart and thrown everywhere.
On the snow, there was not only golden liquid, but also red liquid...
"Hu..."
With his teeth slightly open, a white mist rolled out of Li Meng's mouth, and before it dissipated, it turned into a piece of ice crystals scattered.
Bending down to pick up the helmet on the ground, Li Meng put it on his head and looked around the battlefield at the crossroads.
"Gather all the bodies in one place..."
As soon as the words fell, Li Meng stepped forward and came to the body of a alien beast.
Looking at the corpse of the strange beast under his feet, Li Meng's eyes were filled with disbelief.
This thing is definitely not a natural product. If it is a natural product, in the world of ice and snow, it should not be red, but white.
A mutant caused by nuclear radiation?
This is impossible. No matter how much it mutates, it has only been sixty years. If the predecessors of these things were dogs, Li Meng could not imagine how they evolved into this appearance.
Unbelievable...
