Chapter 717 Hunting Competition

The time for burying black gunpowder and detonation devices was longer than Roland expected. It was mainly because it was very troublesome to transport a bucket of gunpowder to the preset location outside the city wall. The snow that was not over the knee made it quite inconvenient to move the carriage. Whenever it was invaded by evil beasts, transportation had to be interrupted. Even if Lotus assisted in digging a hole and filling it, it took nearly a week to arrange it.

In order to ensure the best detonation effect, the principle of detonating the gunpowder in all buried areas is very simple. Since carrying and storage are not considered, it is basically composed of a small piece of sealed copper tube and two wires. The copper tube is filled with fire cotton, and thin copper wires are attached between the wires, forming a short circuit.

When the current passes, the copper wire will burn red and fuse, and at the same time detonate the surrounding fire cotton.

All the lead wires sank into the ground through the lotus, and the depth of nearly five meters ensures that the line will not be affected by ground cannons or evil beasts even without casing protection.

Finally, all the wires are merged into the console on the city wall. If you want to detonate the gunpowder in which area, you just need to shake the corresponding hand-crank generator.

So, the exercise only had the last live target for preparation.

Ahem, this time of hunting evil beasts, friendship is the first, competition is the second, protection of safety is the first priority, and you cannot leave Ye Zi's surveillance area. Do you understand?

Standing on the wall, Roland looked at the contestants in a row in front of him.

To be fair and to reduce the burden on Leaf, the witches participated in the competition in total, namely Ashes and Andrea of ​​Sleeping Island Team, Lightning and Maisie of Winter City Team, and Phyllis and Agsha of Tachila Team.

Originally, he wanted Yifei and Anne to form a wolf heart team, but the latter was unwilling to participate in the hunting, and the other wolf heart witches had no ability to fight, so he had to give up.

clear!Everyone replied in unison, especially Andrea Quinn, who seemed full of energy.

Since tasting Chaos Drink, this noble witch from the head of the three major families of Dawn has been completely addicted to the unique taste of Fire Dragon Wine, and even hopes to exchange a month's share of Chaos Drink for the half-living Fire Dragon Wine.

In response, Roland's reply was that if he could win the first place, it would be impossible.

The rules are very simple, and a day is limited. Whoever can catch more evil beasts will be the first, but they must be locked in a cage to count.He pointed to the iron cage under the city wall, and if someone left Ye Zi's monitoring area, the team would be directly disqualified.Then, the hunting operation begins now!

oh!

As soon as the words were finished, Lightning and Maisie took the lead in getting into the air and flew towards the hidden forest, while the remaining two teams could only trek on their legs.

Who do you think can win?After all three teams of participating teams left the city wall, Tilly asked with a smile.

In her smile, Roland always felt that there was a different meaning, um... I guess it should be Lightning and Maisie.Their abilities are indeed not the strongest, but they must put evil beasts in a cage to calculate their scores. Those with quick movements are undoubtedly more advantageous.

Why don’t we make a bet, brother, she raised her lips and said, I guess it’s the number one in the Sleeping Island Group.

Andrea and Ashes?

Roland thought, one of these two people was a full-time long-range combat witch, and the other was an extraordinary person, and there was no doubt about their strength.

However, annihilation of the enemy is easy for them, but capture is much more difficult. If you want to transport it back smoothly, you must beat every evil beast half-death. The energy spent is much greater than killing the target directly. It may be difficult to get the first place.

This seems to be a business that can make a steady profit without losing money.

OK, what are you betting on?

If I win, well… the future income from selling Chaos drinks, I hope to spend half of the money to reward witches who have made outstanding contributions to urban development.

Evelyn herself is a sleeping island person, and this practice helps attract more witches, which is not a bad thing.In fact, even if she didn't mention it, Roland had similar plans.

No problem, what if you lose?

I will live in Wudong City in the future. How about it?

Roland was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at Tilly, but found that she didn't seem to be joking, really?

Of course it is true, Tilly's eyes showed a hint of cunning, but you may not be able to win, just watch if you don't believe it.

I feel the same way, the nightingale in the fog whispered in her ear, I forgot to tell you just now... Andrea's magic has condensed.

*******************

One hundred and twenty-five meters away from the front left, a wild boar breeding evil beast is approaching you.

The trunks shaking, shaking off a bunch of snow. The friction between the branches and the holly leaves formed the unique tone of the leaf. In this way, the leaf can talk to everyone while monitoring the whole scene.

Uh... How far is one hundred and twenty-five meters?Andrea was still not used to the new unit of measurement issued by Roland, and frowned and thought, one meter is two steps... Then one hundred and twenty-five meters are...

No need to forget it, Ashes rolled his eyes and took off the Ashes messenger behind him. I had heard its footsteps.

A moment later, a black figure appeared in the dense forest. It was a wild boar transformed from an evil beast. It was about the same size as an adult, and its gray-brown fangs were almost the size of an arm.

Don't take action, you have to catch the alive. Andrea whistled at the evil beast, come to me!

Hissing The wild boar breed spewed out white air, staring with scarlet eyes, rushed towards the blonde witch who was provoking it.

If an ordinary hunter encounters this kind of scene, he will never have any idea of ​​confronting him head-on. He either quickly climbs up the nearest tree or waits for an opportunity to hide. As for whether he can survive the fangs and trampling of the evil beast, that is another matter.

But Andrea didn't even take off the rifle behind her, but stretched out her hands, spread her index finger and thumb, and fitted into a diamond-shaped square circle.

Through the center of the circle, the wild boar was only ten steps away from her, and she could almost see the other person's dripping saliva and clusters of shiny manes.

Bang.She whispered.

A powerful airflow suddenly burst out from her palm, and at the same time it made an explosive roar. The wild boar species seemed to hit an invisible wall, and its entire body was lifted away.

The snow under his feet was swept away by the air waves, stirring up dense white mist. After two weeks of tumbling, the evil beast's huge body slammed heavily on the ground, without even screaming. The corners of his mouth were already spitting blood and his limbs twitched to the sky and the earth.

This is Andrea's new ability. By observing the difference between bows and muskets, and His Highness Tilly's forced learning, she realized her evolutionary direction: since both are giving energy to arrows or projectiles, why can't the magic power directly provide the energy needed to shoot?

During her more than two weeks of voyage, she gradually mastered this new combat skill.

Even if there is no object in your hand that is filled with projectiles, you can kill the enemy with the impact force alone.

Moreover, this shooting technique is only related to her magic power, and its power is far greater than the previous blinking finger shooting, just like a bow and arrow and musket.

When all the magic power is released at once, the projected object will even hurt herself.
