The Dark King – Chapter 285

Dudian and the others were surprised to the twin-headed snake lizard to embrace the mutated crocodile. The other two mutated crocodile didn't take the opportunity to run away but blatantly went towards the predator. They tried to bite onto its body and forced it to let go of the crocodile. Even though twin-headed snake lizard was a level 27 monster but it wouldn't be well-off after being bitten by two mutated crocodiles.

It didn't mean that those two crocodiles would be able to kill it by biting but a good predator would always minimize the damages through the hunt. It had to ensure its survival as long as it could.

Twin-headed snake lizard overlooked the three mutated crocodiles as they were facing off each other. After a brief confrontation it attacked the previous mutated crocodile.

The crocodile opened its mouth to bite the oncoming twin-headed snake lizard.

However, the predator's heads were extremely flexible. One of the heads curved around and bit into its forelimb. The mouth of the snake’s head didn't have two fangs but instead row of dense and sharp fangs. It pulled back the mutated crocodile as its body twisted around it. It rolled around and swept over it.

Bang! The snake tail began to force and press crocodile's body.

Both heads made rapid offensive attacks as they bit and tore the crocodile's body while it winded it up. Crocodile's tail began to tremble more as its body was wrapped more tightly. It fluttered its claws to help itself out.

Afterwards both of the heads were lifted and stared at the other hostile crocodiles.

Both crocodiles seemed to realize that it would be difficult to save their companion so they gradually lost the fighting morale. They slowly moved back.

Dudian and the others were shocked as they witnessed the battle between high-level monsters.

Dudian awakened the moment he saw that twin-headed snake lizard had tangled the crocodile. He immediately turned the muzzle towards the body of twin-headed snake lizard. Without waiting for another moment he lit the lead. After a brief silence a loud noise echoed as the sh.e.l.l flew out.

Boom!

The sh.e.l.l hit the twin-headed snake lizard body and tore open its skin. The scales covering that part of the body dropped down.

Dudian frowned as he narrowed his eyes and concentrated on twin-headed snake lizard's body. The site where the sh.e.l.l had hit its body was b.l.o.o.d.y and a large area was injured. Its body was still tightly holding and wrapped around crocodile's body. The attack didn't cause a serious injury let alone repel it. But after being hit up by the sh.e.l.l the twin-headed snake lizard's body shrank more tight.

Dudian let go of the cannon and once again took the bow and arrows.

Gwyneth who was silent most of the time was shocked the moment she saw Dudian's actions. She gently whispered: "Don't attract its attention. Otherwise it will come after us."

Naturally, Dudian was aware of this so he didn't immediately shoot but waited.

Because of the sudden attack the other crocodiles which confronted the twin-headed snake lizard panicked. They recalled the pain they had felt as they heard the violent sound. Subconsciously they began to distance themselves away from the twin-headed snake lizard.

Twin-headed snake lizard looked around and found Dudian and the other three standing at the top of the hill. It's eyes detected the four small heat waves. However Dudian and the rest didn't attract its attention. Instead it's tight body suddenly loosened and it rushed out towards of the fleeing mutated crocodiles.

It was a sudden attack. The previous wrapped crocodile's body fell to the ground and raised large dust while its body was motionless.

Roar!

The crocodiles growled in horror but twin-headed snake lizard was rapidly approaching.

Dudian took the opportunity and made the shot.

Whoos.h.!.+

The silver arrow easily pierced through the place where twin-headed snake lizard's body was previously wounded.

Twin headed snake lizard cried out in anger but didn't stop its offensive attack. Soon it caught the struggling crocodile and wrapped around its body. The other crocodile was about to attack the lizard so it didn't have time to protect itself from Dudian and others.

Dudian seized the opportunity and swiftly attacked.

A silver arrow was shot. In about three seconds he made eight shots. Two of those arrows didn't hit the wounded part of twin-headed snake lizard and were easily blocked.

The twin-headed snake lizard howled in pain because of the six arrows which pierced into its body. However it still wrapped tightly around the crocodile's body. The crocodile's body armor was tough and could resist attacks. But it was very difficult to bear the squeezing force. The sound of shattering bones echoed as blood began to ooze out of its mouth and eyes.

The last crocodile saw that its companion was killed by the twin-headed snake lizard. It didn't attack but instead turned around and flee away.

The twin-headed snake lizard stared at the direction of its departure but didn't catch up with it.

Dudian looked at the battlefield. He knew that they were the next targets. He turned towards Scar and Jin: "Wait for my gestures. Get ready to attack!"

Jin and Scar's body were overflowing with cold sweat. Their armor were soaked in it. However their heart calmed after they heard Dudian's words. They took deep breathes and went towards the big rocks.

Dudian began to shoot the arrows. There were no more mutated crocodiles which could be used to fight against the twin-headed snake lizard. From now on he could only rely on pre-arranged traps and geographical advantage. He wasn't going to retreat!

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

Twin-headed snake lizard seemed to feel the oncoming danger. It's body twisted and the previously wounded parts were covered. The arrows. .h.i.t its head and body. The tinkling sounds echoed. However the arrows burst the moment they hit its body. The mercury sputtered and went into its body along the gaps in its scales.

Dudian stopped when there were only two mercury arrows left. He did not intend to use those two arrows for something else. But he stopped because of habit just for staying in guard for an unimaginable situation.

Twin-headed snake lizard roared and began to rush towards the hill the moment it saw that arrows stopped.

“Attack!” Dudian shouted.

Scar and Jin pushed the first boulder.

Rumble ~!

The rock rolled down the slopes.

Twin-headed snake lizard twisted up its body and avoided the boulder. At this time Jin and Scar pushed the second boulder. The twin-headed snake lizard wasn't injured but its movement was blocked.

Dudian frowned but he was aware that this slowly rolling boulders wouldn't be able to hurt the twin-headed snake lizard.

Gwyneth's face was pale as she looked at Dudian: “We should withdraw now! If we wait for it to climb up then we won't be able to get away. ”

Dudian replied: “We are not in a hurry.”

Gwyneth's face was ugly as she looked at the boy who was as tall as her: “Do you have a way out? It is not an existence that we can fight against."

Dudian didn't speak but he concentrated on twin-headed snake lizard which was below the hill.

Jin and Scar looked at twin-headed snake lizard after four boulders were pushed down. They rushed back and asked: "Now…What are going to do now?"

Dudian's finger clenched as he stared at the foot of the hill.

Twin-headed snake lizard saw that there were no more boulders coming down so it tried to climb up the hill.

Boom!

Whole hill shook as a loud voice echoed.

Jin almost fall down to ground.

A sharp and painful roar echoed. All of them looked at the footsteps of the hill. The twin-headed snake lizard's body had fallen to the side of the ground. At the initial place where it was standing there was a huge pit. Smoke billowed out of it.

Gwyneth and the other two were shocked as they looked at the giant pit. They remember that it was the exact place where they had buried the powder boxes yesterday.

Dudian frowned as he looked at the body of the twin-headed snake lizard. It was seriously injured but it was not a deadly wound.

“It would be much simpler to hunt if we had a catapult …” Dudian whispered. But at the moment there were no tools at hand. He pondered a little and said to Gwyneth: "Get ready to fight."

Gwyneth was mesmerized by the scene. However the moment she heard Dudian's words she remember the plan they used to lure of the monsters from the swamp. She understood what Dudian meant and turned away.

Sergei ran from behind the hills and caught up with them as Gwyneth left. He looked at Dudian with excitement: "It's incredible! I had lit the fire and such a destructive power was expelled."

Dudian smiled. They had used thin tubes to stretch out the fuse to other place. It was the original method used in early days to explode the landmines: "It's hurt now. We have to kill it before its wounds are healed."

Sergei nodded in confirmation: “Moreover the b.l.o.o.d.y smell it exudes now will lead other monsters to here. We must act quick, otherwise… ”

Dudian didn't even want to think about monsters which preyed on an existence such as twin-headed snake lizard. It was very hard to cope up with it let alone something which was a natural predator of the twin-headed snake lizard: “Gwyneth has already gone… We are going to use fire."

Sergei's eyes lit up: “Fire?! Good method!”

Dudian looked back at the twin-headed snake lizard. He didn't know whether the mercury arrows would be able to poison and kill the monster.
