Chapter 862: Chapter 561, Soft Rough Leather (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.)
Huu huu huu!!
The swarm of Ice Bat Monkeys was getting closer and closer, their dense numbers blocking out the sunlight from above.
Fang Hao’s keen vision allowed him to see from a great distance, even the saliva dripping from the huge mouths of the Ice Bat Monkeys.
Their method of flight actually shared many similarities with that of bats.
Fang Hao was calculating the distance between the two sides.
When it seemed about right, he gave the command in a cold voice, “Lightning Strike.”
Electricity-flickering thunder spears appeared on the right white bone arms of the Skeleton Warriors in the front row.
“Fire!”
Huu huu huu!!
The sounds of the air being torn apart arose as the thunder spears were hurled into the sky.
For a moment, the sky was covered by silver snakes spreading far and wide.
The bodies of the Ice Bat Monkeys began to spasm, crackling as they fell from the sky.
But still, many that were not affected or not hit by the blast continued to charge forward.
“Lightning Strike, continue. Skeleton archers, shoot,” Fang Hao did not pause, loudly issuing commands.
“Shoot!”
“Shoot!”
One command after another rang out among the archer formation.
Then, in the next second, bullets rained down like hail towards the skies above.
The advancing Ice Bat Monkeys were directly turned into sieves.
For a time, the ground was littered with these bat-monkey creatures, floundering and struggling.
The Skeleton infantry that were free moved forward in large strides to finish off the still struggling Ice Bat Monkeys.
The greatest advantage of the Ice Bat Monkeys was their mobility and flight.
Once they lost that advantage, the sky was no longer their domain, and there was no difference between them and other wild beasts.
In fact, their combat power on the ground was even lower than that of other wild beasts of the same rank.
Tang Qi, hidden within the ranks, watched in astonishment.
Last time Fang Hao led his troops to take down Tasgo, his combat power was not this formidable.
Infantry releasing lightning into the sky, what the hell was going on?
Remote infantry?
The archers were still using bows and crossbows at that time.
One winter had passed and they had all switched to rifles.
Bolt-action rifles at that.
But how come he only saw big shots revealing cannons in the channel but no rifles for sale?
This level of combat power, it would be strange if it wasn’t the best in the world.
It seemed that no force could defeat Fang Hao’s army from the front anymore.
As he was thinking, after a majority of the Ice Bat Monkeys had died or been injured, the survivors began to flee.
Clearly, these creatures possessed some intelligence.
Knowing they couldn’t win, they ran.
“Skeleton Vulture, after killing them, bring the bodies back,” he ordered.
Hu la la!!
The ten thousand Skeleton Vultures that had been on standby in the back immediately took to the skies, chasing after the fleeing Ice Bat Monkeys
For a moment, the forest was filled with the sounds of battle.
Fang Hao stepped out from the protection of the Skeletons and beckoned to Tang Qi.
“Quick, butcher them all; exchange the meat immediately and give me the soft hides.”
Tang Qi immediately ran out, responding, “Got it, boss.”
The two began to butcher the creatures, one by one.
[Butchering complete, acquired Meat 550, Soft Coarse Hide 14, Beast Bone 24.]
[Butchering complete, acquired Meat 620, Soft Coarse Hide 16, Beast Bone 26.]
[Butchering complete, acquired Meat 600, Soft Coarse Hide 15, Beast Bone 25.]
[…]
The two worked swiftly to butcher their prey.@@novelbin@@
The meat, hides, and bones were piled up in three separate areas.
The Skeleton Vultures in front continued to bring back bodies they had caught up with, and the two continued their butchering.
After busying themselves for quite a while.
They had accumulated more than 6,000 Soft Coarse Hides in their hands.
Once everything was processed, Fang Hao waved his hand grandly and the team continued to move forward.
They advanced to the foot of the mountain.
The Undead army began their assault up the mountain.
The number of Ice Bat Monkeys on the mountain was greater, and the steep terrain allowed them to breach the ranks, killing dozens of Skeleton archers.
Fortunately, the Skeleton infantry quickly came to their aid.
All of the Ice Bat Monkeys were killed, and the archers resumed their normal attack.
The sky filled with lightning as bullets rained down without regard for cost.
All the Ice Bat Monkeys were shot down and then finished off.
Meanwhile, those that tried to escape were continually pursued by the Skeleton Vultures.
However, as wild creatures, when the Ice Bat Monkeys realized they were truly unable to win, many fled.
They flew off in all directions.
By the time they reached the mountain’s peak, it was already five in the afternoon.
At this time, the light of day had already dimmed.
Fang Hao and his companion began butchering again.
After they finished, they had acquired a total of more than 38,000 Soft Coarse Hides.
It was a considerable haul.
At the same time, he kept one body to be transformed at the conversion field later.
“Search around nearby, see if there’s anything good,” Fang Hao called out loudly.
Hu la la!!
The Skeletons dispersed, searching the vicinity.
However, regretfully.
These creatures obviously lacked higher intelligence; the area was scattered with nests, chunks of flesh, and bones.
There were no treasures to be found, not even a pretty gemstone.
“Boss!”
Just as Fang Hao was about to order a retreat, Tang Qi’s shout came from the side.
He looked up towards Tang Qi, who was approaching quickly.
“Boss, there’s a cave over there that has quite a few people locked inside.”
“People?”
As information flashed through Fang Hao’s mind, he considered the possibility of people being locked inside the cave.
Previously, Tang Qi had mentioned that the Ice Bat Monkeys would capture people from nearby villages to eat. Perhaps these were the captives they had taken for dinner.
“Where?” Fang Hao immediately asked.
Tang Qi pointed in the direction behind him and said, “Just over there, if you walk straight ahead you’ll see a cave.”
What do you think?
