Release that Witch - Chapter 726

[Chapter 717 Hunting Competition]

It took longer than Roland expected to bury the black powder and the detonating device. The main reason was that it was very troublesome to transport the barrels of gunpowder to the preset location outside the city wall. The knee-deep snow made the carriage quite inconvenient. When encountering evil beasts, the transportation had to be interrupted. Even with Lian’s assistance in digging and filling the pit, it took nearly a week to arrange it properly.

In order to ensure the best detonation effect, all the gunpowder in the buried area is detonated by electric detonators – the principle of the latter is very simple, because it does not consider carrying and storage, it is basically composed of a small sealed copper tube and two wires, the copper tube Fire cotton is filled in the middle, and thin copper wires are placed between the wires to form a short circuit.

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

The lead wires all sank into the ground through the lotus, and the depth of nearly five meters ensured that even if the lines were not protected by casings, they would not be affected by ground artillery or evil beasts.

In the end, all the wires were merged into the console on the city wall. If you want to detonate the gunpowder in any area, you only need to shake the corresponding hand generator.

As a result, only the last preparation for the exercise was left – the live target.

“Ahem, in this hunt for evil beasts, friendship comes first, competition comes second, and safety protection is the top priority. Don’t leave Ye Zi’s surveillance area. Do you understand?”

Standing on the city wall, Roland looked towards the row of people

“Contestants”.

For the sake of fairness and to lighten Ye Zi’s burden, the participating witches consisted of three groups of six people, namely Ashes and Andrea from the Sleeping Island team, Lightning and Maisie from the Neverwinter team, and Taquila representatives. Phyllis and Agatha from the team.

Originally, he wanted Iffy and Annie to form a Wolfheart representative team, but the latter was unwilling to participate in the hunt, and the other Wolfheart witches had no fighting ability, so he had no choice but to give up.

“Understood!” Everyone replied in unison, especially Andrea Quinn, who seemed very motivated.

Ever since she tasted Chaos Drink, this noble witch from the head of Chenxi’s three major families has been completely obsessed with the unique taste of Fire Dragon Wine, and even hoped to exchange a month’s share of Chaos Drink for the remaining half can of Dragon Wine .

To this, Roland’s answer was that if he could win the first place, it’s not impossible.

“The rule is very simple. One day is the limit. 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, “In addition, if someone leaves In Ye Zi’s monitoring area, the team will immediately lose the qualification. Then, the hunting operation begins now!”

“Oh!”

As soon as the voice fell, Lightning and Maggie took the lead and flew to the Hidden Forest, while the remaining two teams only I can walk on my legs.

“Who do you think can win?” Tilly asked with a smile after all three teams had left the city wall.

In her smile, Roland always felt that there was a different meaning, “Well… I guess it should be Lightning and Maggie. Their abilities are indeed not the strongest, but they can only be counted if they put evil beasts in cages.” In terms

of points, the one with the quickest action will undoubtedly have an advantage.”

“Why don’t we make a bet, brother,” she said with the corner of her mouth raised, “I guess the Sleeping Island group is number one.”

Andrea and Ashes?

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

However, it is easy for them to annihilate the enemy, but it is much more difficult to capture them. If they want to transport them back smoothly, they must beat every evil beast to death. The energy spent is far greater than directly killing the target. The first is probably a little difficult.

It seemed like a surefire business.

“Okay, what’s the bet?”

“If I win, um… I hope to spend half of the proceeds from selling Chaos Drinks in the future to reward those witches who have made outstanding contributions to the city’s development.”

Evelyn herself is Sleeping Island people, and this approach will help 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’ll stay in Neverwinter from now on, how about it?”

Roland was slightly taken aback, turned his head to look at Tilly, but found that she didn’t seem to be joking, “Really?”

“Of course it’s true,” Tilly’s eyes showed a hint of cunning, “But you may not win, just watch if you don’t believe me.”

“I think so too,” Nightingale whispered in the mist, “I forgot to tell you just now… Andrea’s magic power has condensed.”

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

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

trunk shook, shaking off bunches of snow, and the friction sound of branches and holly leaves formed Ye Zi’s unique tone – in this way, Ye Zi can talk to everyone while monitoring the audience.

“Uh… How far is 125 meters?” Andrea was still not quite used to the new measurement unit promulgated by Roland, she frowned and thought, “One meter is two steps…then one hundred and two Fifteen meters is…”

“Never mind,” Ashes rolled his eyes, and took off the back cover, “I’ve already heard its footsteps.” A

moment later, a black figure appeared in the dense forest, It was a wild boar that had turned into an evil beast, about the size of an adult, with gray-brown fangs almost as thick as an arm.

“Don’t make a move, you have to catch something alive,” Andrea whistled towards the evil beast, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com “Come to me!

” Out of a cloud of white gas, staring at a pair of scarlet eyes, it rushed straight to the blonde witch who provoked it.

If an ordinary hunter encountered this kind of scene, he would definitely not have any thoughts of confronting him head-on. He would either climb up the nearest big tree or wait for an opportunity to avoid it. It’s another story.

But Andrea didn’t move at all. She didn’t even take off the beloved rifle behind her back. Instead, she stretched out her hands, opened her index finger and thumb, and fitted them into a diamond-shaped square circle.

Through the center of the pen, the wild boar was no more than ten paces away from her, and she could almost see his dripping saliva and tufts of shiny mane.

“Bang.” She said softly.

A powerful airflow suddenly shot out from her palm, and at the same time it made an explosion-like roar. The wild boar seemed to have hit an invisible wall, and its entire body was lifted up.

The snow under the feet was swept away by the air wave, stirring up a dense white mist. After tossing for two weeks, the huge body of the evil beast fell heavily on the ground without even making a scream. He twitched upside down.

This is Andrea’s new ability—by observing the difference between bows and firearms, and Her Highness Tilly’s forced learning, she realized the direction of her own evolution: since both of them endow energy to arrows or projectiles , why can’t the energy required for shooting be provided directly by magic power?

During the two-week voyage, she gradually mastered this brand-new fighting technique.

Even when there is no object as a projectile in the hand, the impact alone can kill the enemy.

And this kind of shooting is only related to her magic power, and its power is far beyond the previous snap-finger shooting, just like bows and arrows and muskets.

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