Chapter 162 Giant Rhinoceros
A unique, deep, and powerful roar, like a mountain collapsing, resounded across the front lines.
This was the first time Zhong Ming had ever seen or heard a rhinoceros roar.
The Ironclad Rhinoceros is a first-grade silver-level demonic beast. It is broad-bodied and ten feet tall, resembling a land-based dump truck. Its hide is as hard as steel armor and extremely difficult to break through. It is an excellent raw material for making armor and low-level mecha armor. The rhinoceros horn also has many uses.
If it is an enemy of the same level, it will be a great headache for the cultivator, but if one has the ability to break through its tough skin, killing it will be as easy as taking candy from a baby.
As Zhong Ming's team stood up, the team behind them ruthlessly leaped over them and charged towards the armored rhinoceros.
"You beast, take this!"
The lightest of them all was a nearly naked cultivator from Huling County, who had removed all his armor in order to run faster and claim the first credit.
With a thrust of the spear, a clang was heard as the spear tip struck the rhinoceros's cheek, sending sparks flying.
The rhinoceros turned its head and rammed the bull, but the big man was not to be outdone. His muscles bulged, and they clashed head-on. The long spear bent at an alarming angle, and it looked like it was about to break.
"I'll go!" Another shout rang out, and the man's teammate arrived, wielding a pair of thunder ball hammers. He leaped into the air, stepped onto the curved shaft of the gun, and swung the hammer down on the armored rhinoceros's head.
With a single blow, it struck the rhinoceros squarely on the head, leaving it dizzy and disoriented. Against an armored enemy, the hammer was far more effective than a blade.
But this step completely shattered the balance. The naked giant could no longer hold on and was bounced back by his own spear, crashing into the large wooden door that was deeply embedded in the ground.
Zhong Ming pulled his comrade up, hid behind the wooden door to observe for a few moments, and then immediately attacked from both sides with Yue Kaishan, surrounding the rhinoceros.
"Get out of my way, this is my prey."
The man was so eager to kill the beast that he disregarded any techniques. He spread his arms and used two single-handed hammers to unleash a "Double Peak Piercing Ears" strike, but his target was not its ears, but its eyes.
This also meant that his chest was exposed, his body facing the rhinoceros. The armored giant rhinoceros had just awakened, and its giant horn, brimming with demonic power and seemingly glowing with emerald light, thrust forward, almost piercing through the man's right chest.
When the double hammers struck the rhinoceros's eyes, it had already lost its balance. One hammer missed and landed on its cheekbone. Although the other hammer hit, it only shattered the rhinoceros's eyelids, but the eyeballs were unharmed.
The giant rhinoceros suddenly went berserk, unable to see anything but the man's chest and the blood flowing down its horn. It then tossed the seriously injured man away, shaking its head left and right.
The moment the wounded man was out of its sight, it was replaced by Yue Kaishan's iron fist and Zhong Ming's spear.
"boom!"
Yue Kaishan felt as if he had punched a wall; if it weren't for his steel fist, he probably would have broken several bones in his hand by now.
The punch not only failed to achieve anything, but also knocked him back.
Zhong Ming's attack began with a simple and unadorned Great Cold, a spear strike that sent the barb straight into its eyeball. The armored rhinoceros tried to turn its head, but still couldn't completely dodge it. Although it avoided the direct attack of the hook-and-sickle spear, the bone-chilling cold still extended along the spot where it was hit, completely freezing that side of its eyeball.
All I could see was white frost.
"Xuanjing! Stick it on!"
After shouting, Zhong Ming lunged forward.
Xuan Jing was right behind him. After the bell rang, the rhinoceros was already slowed down by the cold, which was the perfect opportunity.
He took the explosive tag off his head and stuck it on the frozen eyeballs. Then he took a few steps forward and used his armored body to shield Zhong Ming from the explosion.
"fry!"
With a loud "boom," the frost turned into a fireball, and the giant rhinoceros howled and fell to the side, almost crushing Yue Kaishan beneath it.
"Xuanjing, you've really hit a real explosive tag!"
Zhong Ming was so frightened that he took another step back. He thought it was just some fake rune trying to scare him.
"Be careful, it's not dead yet."
Zhong Ming fell right at the rhinoceros's hind leg. The rhinoceros kicked out and struck him squarely in the chest. Fortunately, he was seriously injured and the distance was too great, so the kick landed on the rhinoceros's shell and did not cause serious injury.
"This is our team's prey!" came a furious shout from a distance behind.
A fireball came hurtling over indiscriminately, forcing the group to dodge with all their might and wasting the great opportunity for the giant beast to fall to the ground.
Xuan Jing also made a symbolic flash and came to Zhong Ming's side. At this time, their position was not necessarily bad. They were directly behind the giant rhinoceros. However, the monsters behind them also surged up, and the likes of snake spirits and earth rabbits were right in front of them.
"retreat."
Zhong Ming made a decision and led Xuan Jing back, "Three against three!"
Xuan Jing threw two explosive talismans toward the original city gate, let out a strange cry, and retreated with Zhong Ming.
"Let's go up the city wall."
Zhong Ming realized that although this armored rhinoceros had thick hide and flesh, it only had armor on its body and no means of fighting back. Running to the city wall and jumping onto its body might be a brilliant move.
When the giant rhinoceros recovered, one of its eyes was already destroyed, and the first thing it saw with its other injured eye was the naked giant who had been smashed against the wooden door.
"Mou~"
With a roar, he rushed towards the big man.
The man was filled with fear and tried to pick up his spear, but he couldn't hold it. The sharp pain in his hand told him that he had to abandon the spear and run for his life. He didn't care about appearances and rolled to the side with a lazy roll, barely avoiding the rhinoceros's charge.
The massive rhinoceros horn easily pierced the wooden door. At that moment, the man's two teammates arrived, one casting a spell while the other pulled the burly man away from the battlefield.
"I'll attack from above, you guys hold off the other squads, we have to take this prey!"
The person who had cast the spell earlier leaped up and jumped to the top of the wooden door, about to unleash a barrage of spells downwards.
But one person was already a step ahead. A dark figure leaped down from the city wall, holding a short knife. He plunged the knife into the rhinoceros's head along its wound, fiercely injecting spiritual energy into it, turning its brain into mush.
Zhong Ming and Xuan Jing slapped their thighs until they were bruised, damn it, someone beat them to it.
But they couldn't stay idle. A leopard leaped onto the city wall and landed right next to them, and the two immediately joined the fight again.
Yue Kaishan saw it clearly from the side. The man had a token at his waist, which indicated that he was an inspector who came to supervise the trial. However, he could not see the three people on the other side.
"You shameless bastard, how dare you steal our war merits?"
