Chapter 329: The aroma of snake meat fills the air

Marcus's arrows were not ordinary arrows.

They were improved hawk-feather arrows and hawk-tail arrows, with ironwood thorns as the shafts, dragon bones as the arrowheads, and the feathers of the magical wind falcon as balancers.

The best arrows in Flower Town.

He drew two arrows wrapped in Soul Disruption Potions, aiming at one of Dulumichita's immature snake heads—the mature heads had strong mental resilience and high resistance; the immature heads were the best targets for interference. A single Soul Disruption Potion would drive it into madness.

The writhing head was difficult to hit, but fortunately, he had eight sharp arrows to try.

Pfft!

Finding an opportunity, he released the bowstring, and the arrow, guided by mana, shot straight at the immature snake head.

Unfortunately, the two arrows only grazed the snake head and missed. However, he remained calm, as if facing not an intermediate sea monster but an ordinary beast. At least for the time being, Dulumichita posed little danger to him.

Because Hiddleston had already pounced.

This gradually maturing intermediate magical beast, the blizzard beast, had been trained by Marcus for a long time. Its intelligence was far superior to ordinary magical beasts. It understood the essence of guerrilla tactics—retreating when the enemy advances, dodging like a snake, and seizing opportunities to launch rock spikes.

It not only trapped Dulumichita in a dilemma but also continuously attracted its intermittent magical firepower.

Water Arrow Barrage shot at the hill, sending dirt flying everywhere.

The water blade struck, but hit only Hiddleston's afterimage.

For a moment, the snake and the dog were stalemated, and it seemed that Hiddleston had the upper hand. Whenever Dulumichita showed any sign of retreat, Hiddleston would rush up and unleash a barrage of rock spikes to block its path; whenever Dulumichita released a magical counterattack, Hiddleston would jump wildly and flee.

It was like an enhanced version of rural fun—a dog fighting a water snake.

When attacked, a snake would first coil up to defend itself rather than turn to escape, and Dulumichita was no different. But coiled up, it became an easy target for Hiddleston's rock spikes. The interference from the fishing net, threads, and arrows also prevented it from successfully casting its water wave shield.

The water wave shield was a defensive spell that summoned a massive water shield, forming on its surface like waves, capable of neutralizing a large number of attacks.

Without the water wave shield, the immature six-headed sea snake's strength was greatly diminished.

Pfft!

Just as its attention was drawn to Hiddleston, two more arrows shot straight at it, accurately hitting one of the immature snake heads, right in the eye.

The Soul Disruption Potion instantly completed its injection, and the snake head went mad, whipping around, lashing out like a whip, and even biting hard onto another nearby head.

Seizing the opportunity, Marcus shot another pair of arrows, successfully striking another immature snake head of Dulumichita.

He had two arrows left, so he decided to shoot again, this time aiming at a mature snake head.

Unfortunately, amidst the chaotic writhing of the heads, he missed the target and the arrows flew empty.

Two heads were successfully thrown into confusion, crazily biting the mature heads, causing panic among the four mature heads of Dulumichita, which immediately uncoiled its body and prepared to leave. But how could Marcus let it escape? He commanded Hiddleston to pounce again, fiercely entangling it.

On the other side.

The squires responsible for burning the dragon beast bones had already lit a roaring flame, making the bones of the dragon beast crackle as they burned. In an instant, a massive dragon aura rose from the flames, radiating outward.

This overwhelming dragon presence scared the frantically fleeing Dulumichita, causing it to collapse in fear, paralyzed.

But unexpectedly, Hiddleston was also trembling all over, too frightened to attack, wasting a great opportunity. The knights were well-prepared, continuing to throw sand and fill in dirt, striving to accelerate the solidification of this shallow river section, immobilizing Dulumichita.

The scent of boiling bloodfruit wafted over from a distance.

The smell seemed to drive the two immature snake heads into a frenzy, making them bite the mature heads so fiercely that they couldn't cast any spells.

"Get up, Dudley! Take it down!" Liszt kicked the trembling Dudley, this useless mongrel, "Dudley, Rock Spikes Barrage!"

Dudley woke up from the kick, still shaking, but managed to release a barrage of rock spikes, hitting Dudley Mitchta and pinning it in place.

The mud mixed with rubber began to solidify, and the entangled fishing net and threads tightened further.

Liszt knew the opportunity had arrived and shouted immediately: "Marcus, get ready!"

With that, he threw a Fire Dragon canister.

Marcus's regular arrow instantly hit the Fire Dragon canister mid-air, shattering it with one shot; Liszt continued throwing Fire Dragon canisters, while Marcus kept shooting, and within the brief burst of dragon aura, twelve Fire Dragon canisters exploded in the air, shattering Brad's meticulously crafted volcanic glass into pieces.

Without hesitation, Liszt cast the Magic Eye.

Liszt saw the fire dragon's magic power merge, forming a giant powerful fire dragon that dove towards the already recovering Dudley Mitchta.

Boom!

The powerful fire dragon surged through it, inflicting devastating wounds. The wounded Dudley Mitchta let out a sharp hiss, its body jerking like a rubber band, splattering blood as it leaped out of the mud and fled into the rock forest.

"Everyone, back off, forty meters away!" Only Liszt could see the powerful fire dragon, so the responsibility of stopping Dudley Mitchta fell on him and Dudley.

He pointed in the direction of Dudley Mitchta's escape: "Dudley, Rock Spikes Barrage!"

The dragon aura came quickly and left quickly. Dudley had regained his composure and, at Liszt's command, released the Rock Spikes Barrage again, hitting Dudley Mitchta and preventing its escape. This delay allowed the powerful fire dragon to dive once more, severely burning Dudley Mitchta.

The two insane heads, attracted perhaps by the smell of the bloodfruit, continued to disrupt its thoughts.

This caused Dudley Mitchta's body to twitch, making it unable to even escape.

Pfft!

The Rock Spikes Barrage was released again.

Boom!

The powerful fire dragon dove once more, and the forty-meter range had become a distance of despair for Dudley Mitchta. The disruption from the Soul Disruption Potion, the constant bleeding wounds, and the rock spikes embedded in its body, perhaps along with the wasp venom-laced arrows, were all taking their toll on its life.

When the powerful fire dragon dove for the fourth time, the four tightly stretched heads of Dudley Mitchta finally went limp, its breath rapidly fading, and the magic power within its body slowly dissipating.

A faint scent of snake meat began to spread.

Seeing this through the Magic Eye, Liszt made a swift decision and commanded Dudley to charge: "Dudley, quick, bite its tail and drag it away!"

Dudley, already accustomed to Liszt's complex commands, immediately pounced, biting Dudley Mitchta's tail and dragging it away.

"Parris, come on, help me drag it!"

Seizing the opportunity while the powerful fire dragon flew away, they successfully dragged the dying Dudley Mitchta more than forty meters away.

"Sir! The six-headed king sea snake isn't dead yet, be careful!" Marcus ran over in a circle, seeing Liszt dragging Dudley Mitchta himself, and couldn't help but shout.

"It's not going to survive, Marcus. You all head over and grab the bloodfruit saplings I prepared."

The blood of the intermediate sea monster could indeed be sold for money, but combined with the hints from the smoke mission rewards, he still thought using the snake's blood to nurture the spirit bug was more worthwhile.

Because the reward was an "unknown quantity of spirit bugs," perhaps more than one bloodfruit spirit bug would be nurtured!

The spirit bug was the greatest harvest of this battle!
