Gluttonous Warlock

Chapter 21 Basilisk

Seeing Allen stop to pick flowers and plants from time to time, Mr. Hunter smiled helplessly.

I thought that the child lived in a town and had a rare opportunity to climb mountains and get close to nature, so he was very excited and regarded this dangerous hunting operation as an outing.

In fact, Allen is not lacking in wild survival experience.

The hunting knowledge he gained through atavistic meditation is even richer than that of Mr. Hunter.

In addition, his eyes have evolved dark vision, and he can see clearly the dark places in the bushes without deliberately looking around, so he looks very relaxed.

Walk to the creek shallows.

Suddenly I heard a dog barking.

The three stepped forward to investigate.

Two hounds were wagging their tails, and sometimes stretched out their paws to pull the dead fish on the river beach.

A palm-sized fish with a white belly, lying stiff on the river beach.

Allen squatted down to observe, secretly using the system to identify.

as predicted.

"These fish were all poisoned." Allen said softly.

Mr. Hunter nodded and took off his hunting bow.

"The lair of the basilisk is just upstream of the stream!"

"It drank water in the stream, and the toxin seeped into the water, and the nearby fish and shrimp also suffered."

The Hound was in front, followed by the three.

Walk along the stream.

When approaching the top of the mountain, there was a sudden hawk chirping in the sky!

Allen looked up.

The sky is blue, without a cloud.

The falcon was hovering at low altitude, eager to try and dive down.

Mr. Hunter bit his finger, and suddenly blew a sharp whistle.

Hearing the master's order, the falcon spread its wings again and gave up the dive.

"The falcon can't beat the basilisk!"

Mr Hunt explained to his son and Alan.

"Indulge it to jump down, and if it is sprayed with poisonous gas by the basilisk, it will definitely die!"

"Dad! Stop talking, let's go!" Robin's face flushed with excitement, "If you keep procrastinating, the basilisk will slip away!"

"Don't be silly!" Mr. Hunter glared at his son, "Be honest and follow me!"

At this time, from the bushes ahead, the roar of a hound came.

There are also rustling movements mixed in.

Allen ran over in a hurry, and saw more than a dozen hounds forming a circle from a distance.

In the middle is a purple-scaled boa constrictor, coiled into a snake formation, sticking out a forked tongue, confronting the hounds.

As Robin described, the monster really had a vague human face.

Compared with ordinary pythons, it looks more ferocious and terrifying!
Perhaps this is the so-called "uncanny valley effect".

Allen turned around and gestured.

Remind father and son to wear gas masks.

The three went around to the windward place and shot the basilisk with a bow and crossbow.

At the same time, the hounds also launched a siege on the basilisk.

The first arrow shot by Allen was a little off-point, and flew over the basilisk's head.

Robin was pretty accurate.

It's a pity that the short bow has limited energy storage, and the arrow was bounced off by the snake's scales before even piercing the basilisk's skin.

Whoosh!
Mr. Hunt fully draws the bowstring and shoots a sharp arrow!
The accuracy is impeccable, but it is a pity that the strength is still a little bit reluctant.

Shot on the basilisk, only half an inch into the flesh.

The basilisk hissed and roared in pain, flicked its tail violently, even entangled the arrow shaft, and pulled it out.

A trace of blood flowed out from the arrow wound, obviously it was just a flesh wound.

Mr. Hunter turned blue.

If the arrow had been deeper, the barb would have penetrated the flesh.

If the basilisk dared to forcibly pull out the arrow, it would surely tear off a large piece of flesh and blood.

But he has tried his best.

Unexpectedly, the scales of the basilisk are so hard!
A crossbow is hard to hurt a basilisk.

The hound biting was useless.

Bite it hard!

The canine teeth were immediately blocked by the smooth and hard snake scales, and they slid away involuntarily.

With a click, I bit my loneliness.

The basilisk took advantage of the situation to counterattack, the human face opened its mouth wide, and spewed out a stream of black poisonous gas.

The three hounds on the opposite side couldn't dodge in time and inhaled poisonous gas.

First, his eyes were injured by the toxin, and he burst into tears and wailed repeatedly.

Within ten seconds, the toxin spread to the central nervous system.

The three hounds fell one after another, twitching and foaming at the mouth.

It seemed that there was no way to save him.

Hunter shot a few more arrows, but still failed to cause serious damage to the basilisk.

More than a dozen hounds, half of them have been killed by the basilisk.

Follow this momentum.

It won't be long before the Hounds are all dead.

After that, the three had to face the basilisk head-on.

The situation is not good!

The seasoned Mr. Hunter made a decisive decision.

"Robin! Allen! You two retreat first, I will cover!"

"Dad..."

Robin's face was pale, his voice was trembling, and he had long since lost the vigor he had when he went up the mountain.

Allen's face was as calm as ever.

He doesn't want to give up halfway.

So he put aside his crossbow, walked past the father and son, and stepped forward alone.

It's time to show your real skills!
Since the battle, Allen has been secretly observing.

Different kinds of crossbows shoot from different distances.

And the bite of the hound.

By observing the killing effect of the above attack on the basilisk, he has calculated that the scales of the basilisk are roughly equivalent to a level 5 natural defense.

Hound's teeth, ordinary bow and arrow.

It is indeed difficult to penetrate the scales of the basilisk.

However, Allen has mastered the "penetrating strength".

Breaking the armor is not a problem for him.

The basilisk's most fearsome means of attack is poison.

Snake teeth gnaw and spit out poisonous gas, which are equivalent to level 3 poison attacks.

Ordinary people and animals, if bitten by it, or inhaled poisonous gas, will be paralyzed even if they don't die.

However, Allen is not afraid.

Before that, he deliberately took off his mask and inhaled a small amount of poisonous gas.

Put your toxin resistance to a stress test.

Level 2 poison resistance, cannot be completely immune to level 3 snake venom.

But at least it can offset [-]% of the toxin damage.

After inhaling the poisonous gas, Allen was only slightly dizzy and nauseated.

Persist for 2 minutes, and the discomfort will automatically disappear.

Under this premise.

Stand upwind as much as possible and wear a mask.

Basically, the poisonous gas from the basilisk can be ignored.

In the worst case, even if bitten by the basilisk's fangs, there is still time to take medicine to detoxify.

What's more, Allen came prepared today.

There is more than one hole card in the hand.

Now it's his turn to deal the cards.

First card!

Allen took out the lime bag he carried with him and smashed it hard at the basilisk.

puff!
The paper package hit the basilisk's head, and it exploded immediately, spraying out a large amount of cloudy smoke and dust.

Except lime.

Allen also thoughtfully mixed realgar powder, garlic powder, and various poisonous medicinal materials picked from the glass garden.

It's full of technology and hard work!

Then comes the second card!
Allen took out a copper bottle from his backpack.

Pull out the isolation plug of the bottle mouth and shake the liquid in the bottle evenly.

Throw it out violently!

In the process of studying pharmacy with Ms. Sola, Alan drew on his knowledge of chemical engineering in his previous life and collected many minerals with properties similar to gunpowder.

Both solutions in the bottle are stable when stored alone.

Once mixed together, it becomes flammable and explosive.

puff!
The copper bottle hit the basilisk, received a strong impact, and exploded!
All of a sudden, flames rose and black smoke billowed.
