Chapter 197: Illness 1: Dragon Madness
"boom!!!"
With a loud explosion, the armor-piercing grenade that hit the joint produced a strong shock wave, and the fragments of the explosion caused a lot of damage to the Shadow Spider's legs.
"Very good, I feel like two more times will be enough to blow off its legs."
Seeing that the attack was effective, Link continued shooting without stopping.
"Squeaky!!!"
The shadow spider, whose leg was injured, raised its pincers and roared, just like a crab raising its head in protest.
However, this guy is not a flying dragon, and he doesn't have a roar bag in his throat, so his roar has no deterrent effect at all. Zoro rushed in front of it and slashed it with his sword.
This guy, like Link, attacks the Shadow Spider's leg joints.
That is the weak spot of the horned species and the crustacean species.
Just by destroying their limbs, these guys will lose their ability to resist.
The sharp tip of the sword cut across the joint of the shadow spider's front legs, leaving a striking knife mark and a barely perceptible burn mark, which was then washed away by the falling rain.
Like the strange dragon, the shadow spider is also weak to fire. Unfortunately, it rained today, which suppressed the fire energy of the Wind Devourer, which was not strong to begin with.
"Zoro, change your swords. That guy is not only weak to fire, but also weak to electricity."
Seeing this, Link quickly reminded him.
Zoro doesn't carry three swords just for show. A four-star hunter has very strong physique, so even if he carries three swords, it doesn't seem cumbersome. At most, it's a little inconvenient to move. (You can carry multiple weapons in the wilderness, so it's reasonable for Zoro to carry three swords.)
【Chain Great Sword】
A sword that looks like it came from the Warhammer world.
Zoro didn't know why this thing, which clearly had the appearance of a greatsword and was called a greatsword, was classified as a katana.
However, this weapon is a rare lightning-attribute sword that can be made without relying on flying dragon materials.
Just like its name, this katana looks like an enlarged chainsaw. Although it looks huge, it is surprisingly light, so Zoro just uses it as a normal katana.
"Buzzing."
As Zoro turned on the switch on the handle, the teeth on the blade began to rotate rapidly, accompanied by a slight sound of electricity.
At this moment, Zoro, wielding the chainsaw, doesn't look like a hunter at all.
He looks more like a woodcutter chopping wood in the mountains.
See all
Zoro's feet swayed slightly, avoiding the shadow spider's slashing pincers, and then quickly swung his sword to counterattack.
"Kakakaka."
The moment the sharp chainsaw came into contact with the shadow spider's shell, a crisp clicking sound was heard, with an obvious sense of jamming.
The feel is completely different from a normal sword.
This is also one of the reasons why Zoro didn't use this sword at first.
It's not smooth at all, and the erection feels like constipation, with a strange feeling of being halfway out, a little bit refreshed, but not completely refreshed.
While Zoro was busy fighting, some black scale powder silently fell from the Shadow Spider and was absorbed into his body.
"Boom! Boom!"
There were two more loud explosions. Link took advantage of Zoro's dodging and retreating time to fire two more shots. These two shots were very accurate, hitting the limb joints again and blowing off one of the Shadow Spider's legs.
[Shadow Spider dropped Eight Spider Lance - Pin Xixi Edition]
If Link had a drop system, a prompt like this would probably be given.
"Squeak!!!"
For the multi-legged horned creature, breaking a limb was not a serious injury, but the loss of a leg still made the Shadow Spider angry. It opened its two sharp horns and tried to launch a sweeping attack.
but.....
Its right hind leg suddenly stepped on something round.
With a slight "click" sound, a violent electric spark suddenly transmitted to the shadow spider's whole body, causing its attacking movement to suddenly stop.
"Well done, Chuchu."
Seeing this scene, Zoro gave a thumbs up to Chu Chu not far away.
At the beginning of the battle, Chu Chu hid in the dark quietly, and while the Shadow Spider was busy fighting, she ran behind it and installed a paralysis trap at its feet.
As it stepped on the landmine-like trigger trap, the lightning bugs inside the trap were squeezed to death, instantly releasing strong electric sparks, causing the shadow spider to enter a state of brief paralysis.
Neither Zoro nor Link wasted the attack opportunities Chuchu created for them.
Bullets and swords flew towards the shadow spider one after another, all aiming at the joints, and soon all its leg joints were destroyed.
This guy is left alone.
Like an irregular ball of flesh, it fell to the ground helplessly.
"Phew, done."
Link put away his heavy crossbow and let out a sigh of relief.
The loss of limbs did not take the shadow spider's life, but it made it lose the ability to resist. When the paralysis was lifted, this guy began to spit out silk frantically with the spinner on its tail.
However, it was too late to spin the silk at this time. The silk threads fell into the damp woods, became stained with water, lost their stickiness, and did not play any significant role.
Only after the battle ended did the two men have time to take a closer look at the shadow spider.
"Um, Link, do you feel like something's wrong?"
After taking a look, Zoro immediately found something wrong. He had no time to observe during the battle just now, but now he discovered that there was a layer of faint black mist on the Shadow Spider.
The black fog was almost invisible due to the surrounding environment and the cover of the shadow spider's body color.
[Ding, you are infected with Dragon Madness, your strength increases by 10%, and your vitality decreases by 1 point per minute, which lasts for 30 minutes]
After a long time, the system popped up and gave Link a prompt.
It hasn't appeared for a long time, and Link almost forgot that he had such a golden finger.
"Hiss, dragon madness, I seem to have heard of this somewhere before."
Link frowned slightly as he felt the increased power in his body.
Although this disease brings the effect of enhancing strength, it will take away vitality over time. Link didn't know whether this situation was good or bad for him as a long-range hunter.
"Hey, I feel like I'm stronger. Is this an illusion?"
Beside Link, Zoro kicked the shadow spider that was lying on the ground, scratched his head, and also noticed something was wrong.
Just now during the fight, he noticed that, for some reason, he was stronger than usual and his movements with the sword were much smoother.
But I don't know where the commission came from.
"I don't know, but do you have any impression of this?"
Looking at a small black stone kicked away by Zoro, Link squatted down, observed the body of the Shadow Spider, and found obvious differences.
In addition to the shell spikes growing on this shadow spider, there are also black crystals growing in many places, and the mist is drifting out from the crystals.
Thinking of the dragon madness prompted by the system, Link guessed that the source of the virus was these inky black crystals.
