Chapter 5 Hurricane vs Arrow Rain
Early the next morning, Luo Mo put on a suit of chain mail and rode the only maroon horse in the manor towards the eastern dense forest.
Barron watched Lomo leave with a worried look on his face.
He knew that with his master's ability, he didn't need mail armor at all to move around the dense forest, and he could even go shirtless. The current costume must be heading deep into the jungle.
Although he was worried, he knew that he could not dissuade him. He could only pray in his heart that his master could turn the danger into good and return safely.
Luo Mo rode into the forest and walked carefully in the forest for two or three days.
After discovering several huge footprints, he stepped back and finally chose to follow his heart.
The depths of the jungle have been inaccessible to humans for thousands of years, and there are countless extraordinary creatures living there. The beasts that occasionally come out of it are basically qualified to be called disasters.
I am still an entry-level magic rider, so it would be unwise to rush in hastily.
However, he couldn't just let it go.
So he returned to the manor, found the carpenter Junior and the mason Crane, and invited several farmers to start building simple sentry towers around the manor, especially on the east side.
It’s not time to plant winter wheat yet, it’s the slack season now. Everyone worked together and quickly built the sentry tower.
Although it is a temporary sentry tower, it is not very stable. However, Lomo's site selection is quite particular. In the future, when the strength becomes stronger, a complete defense system can be established based on these sentry towers.
After the tower was built, Luo Mo ordered people to take turns monitoring the tower day and night. Since the owl beast can come twice, it should come a third time.
Since there is no trace of it in the depths of the forest, it is better to just sit back and wait for it to come again.
At the same time, Luo Mo's training has not fallen behind, but unlike before, he will set aside part of his magic power every time he trains to prepare for emergencies.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was a crisp autumn day. Luo Mo was wearing plate armor, holding a big sword, and was doing weight-bearing exercises.
His plate armor was specially made and extremely heavy, and there were two iron plates tied to his legs. But when moving, it is also very flexible and there is no sluggishness at all.
Now that both strength and agility have been trained to 6 or above, the ordinary training intensity is far from enough. In the future, training with armor and weight will be normalized.
While he was sweating profusely, he saw George running out of breath, bowing to Lomo very quickly, and then immediately said: "Sir, I saw the woman from Tim's family looking for a man in the manor." Lomo stopped
. I was a little stunned, thinking, what does this matter have to do with me?
He said casually: "Just look for her. Her man was taken away by the owl beast, so he has to find someone to rely on. Isn't this human nature?" When George heard this, he was stunned
. Didn't my father say that you are interested in the women of Tim's family? Why does it feel like he doesn't care at all?
"You came here in such a hurry just to tell me this?" Luo Mo asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Sir, I..." George looked embarrassed and didn't know how to explain.
In the midst of embarrassment, a loud and urgent horn sound suddenly sounded from the distant sentry tower.
Then, the manor began to become noisy.
"The owl beast is coming!"
"The owl beast is coming!"
Someone kept shouting.
Luo Mo suddenly shuddered, thinking that it was finally here!
He picked up the blue frost sword on the shelf, and then shouted to George: "Lead the horse to the eastern sentry tower." "As you
command!" George replied loudly before he could think, and then ran quickly.
Luo Mo carried the Qingshuang sword behind his back, picked up the elf bow in his left hand, and the bow and arrow pot in his right hand, and ran directly to the eastern sentry tower.
Along the way, the farmers fled back to the village. They were just a group of farmers. They would naturally run home when they encountered wild animals.
While some people were escaping, they did not forget to say hello and salute to Lomo.
Lomo ignored them and ran out of the manor to the foot of the eastern watch tower.
At this time, three militiamen were surrounding the tower. Although they were shivering, they did not run away. Instead, they held shovels and leaned on each other, facing the direction of the wheat field.
"Your courage is commendable!"
Luo Mo silently noted the faces of these three people and ran up the stairs to the guard tower.
On the sentry tower, a militiaman was blowing the horn as hard as he could. When he saw Lomo coming forward, he immediately stopped talking, then pointed to the northeast and said, "Sir, the owl beast is right there." Lomo turned around and looked
. When I went there, I saw a big tree standing in the field in the distance, and a peasant woman wearing a green scarf was squatting in the middle of a tree branch. Her body huddled up and she hugged the tree trunk tightly with both hands.
Under the tree stood a bloated giant beast.
This giant beast seemed to be about two meters tall, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. It looked like a giant bear, but it was covered with brown feathers.
It tilted its head and just stood there blankly, looking at the peasant woman on the tree.
Looking from a distance, it has a very cute feeling.
But the sharp beak on its head and the sharp barbs on its wing tips both indicate that it is an extremely dangerous existence.
He's cute, and he doesn't show any mercy when he kills people.
Luo Mo took a deep breath, casually pulled out a long arrow, and then opened the elf bow.
The elf bow was made of very tough oak, and it was pulled into a sharp angle by him at this moment.
With a 'whoosh' sound, the long arrow flew out and shot directly towards the owl beast.
With this arrow, with the blessing of 6 points of strength, Luo Mo has been able to shoot the skull of the forest wolf into pieces and then nail him to the ground.
Seeing that the long arrow was about to reach the owl beast's face, the owl beast suddenly turned its head, and then swung its big wings outward.
In an instant, a strong wind rose, and the bow and arrow was blown crookedly. It fell from the air and stuck diagonally into the ground.
"Squeak~~~"
The owl beast turned its head and gave a piercing cry in the direction of Luo Mo. It flapped its wings as if to challenge him.
Then, its clumsy body suddenly leaned forward, raising a cloud of mud under its feet, and rushed directly towards the sentry tower.
The huge body was half gliding and half running, its wings beating like a hurricane. The strong wind carried the soil, making it look like a small sandstorm.
The big tree that the peasant woman hid was struck by the wind, and all the leaves were blown off at once. With a 'click', the tree trunk above broke into two parts, and the peasant woman fell heavily to the ground. She wiped her tears, ignored the pain on her body, and crawled away towards the manor.
In the manor, the bankers standing on the roof watching the battle let out a cry of surprise. He couldn't help but sweat for his lord.
On the sentry tower, Luo Mo missed an arrow and was prepared in his heart. This hurricane should be wind element magic, but its intensity is not too high.
He watched the owl beast approaching rapidly, and immediately bent his bow again to set an arrow, and shot it again with the same force.
Next, regardless of whether he hit or not, he kept repeating the action of bending the bow and setting the arrow, as if he had transformed into a ruthless archery machine that never tired.
In an instant, the long arrows shot towards the owl beast one after another like a barrage of cannons.
This unique skill stunned the sentries on the sentry tower and the farmers in the manor.
The Elf Bow is a large bow with extremely high hardness, but in Luo Mo's hands, it is like a rubber band. He can hold it casually without any effort.
I saw that the long arrows kept sinking into the hurricane. At first, Changjian was knocked upside down, but later on, the wind force of the hurricane dropped significantly.
Affected by the constant interference from the long arrows, the owl beast's speed finally slowed down.
I don’t know whether it was because I ran out of energy or was frightened. It no longer dared to use its wings to resist, and began to twist its clumsy body, dodging left and right.
When there were still thirty meters away from the sentry tower, the owl beast finally realized that something was wrong, twisted his body, and fled towards the east.
"Want to escape?"
Luo Mo shot two arrows again, then jumped directly from the tower to the ground.
"Sir, your war horse is here!"
George led the maroon horse and stood under the guard tower. His face was red and he was out of breath running. He was grateful that he could arrive in time.
While Luo Mo was busy, he suddenly remembered that there was an iron plate tied to his leg, so he immediately took it off and got on his horse.
The big horse let out a soft roar and chased after the owl beast in the distance, twisting its butt and running away.
"Lord, you have to be careful!"
Old Barron, who then rushed to the guard tower, shouted loudly. He had old arms and legs. He originally came to the watch tower with his son George, but all he could see was the dust raised by the big horses.
In the manor, the villagers standing on the roof watching the battle stared blankly as their lord rode away until he disappeared into the dense forest in the distance.
They understood that the Lord was fighting for the manor and the owl beast.
"Mom, I want to learn archery from the lord."
The boy from the Tim family stood on tiptoes on the roof, looking in the direction of the dense forest, and said to his mother.
His gaze was firm and intense.
