Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill
Chapter 413 - 210: Vile Beast, Face Your DeathChapter 413: Chapter 210: Vile Beast, Face Your Death
Prey like wild boars was far more delicious than Two-legged Beasts.
Walking to the edge of the pit, the Gray Wolf Demon looked at the wild boars within, then at the quiet stockade. It suddenly stopped, seeming to hesitate.
Everyone was tense to the breaking point.
If the Gray Wolf Demon didn’t take the bait, the hunt could not continue.
Their only option would be to shoot their arrows together and try to scare the Wolf Demon away.
If that happened, they would have to return to their days of living in constant fear, stuck on the defensive.
Fortunately, the Wolf Demon ultimately couldn’t resist the temptation of the wild boars, nor did it notice the sharp wooden stakes hidden under the branches in the pit.
It soon made its move, leaping into the pit. Its front claws were like hooks as it viciously swiped at a boar, opening its great maw to bite down on the pig’s neck.
Beneath that boar was a trigger mechanism. The moment the Wolf Demon seized the boar, they both plummeted downwards.
BOOM!
The Wolf Demon and the boar landed together on the sharp wooden stakes. The boar’s body was instantly impaled, and it let out a blood-curdling squeal.
The Wolf Demon, however, only sustained a few minor scratches.
It roared in anger, then curled up and rolled, knocking over the sharp wooden stakes and Iron Spears in the pit. It was about to leap out.
"Now!"
Chen Chong roared, pulling the rope in his hands.
CRASH!
As the mechanism activated, massive boulders suspended above the pit came crashing down into it.
The others either nocked arrows and fired at the Wolf Demon or brandished their Long Spears and hurled them with all their might.
Amidst the rumbling, boulders, arrows, and Long Spears rained down, striking the Wolf Demon.
In an instant, the Wolf Demon was buried in the pit.
"We did it!"
Chen Chong and Li Chunlei exchanged a look, both overjoyed.
"Don’t get careless! Keep throwing rocks!" Chen An yelled.
The men grabbed more of the prepared rocks and hurled them into the pit.
The villagers who had been waiting by the stockade wall all rushed up to help throw rocks into the pit.
The Wolf Demon was impervious to blades and spears, so the best way to kill it was to crush it to death with heavy objects in the pit.
Even if they couldn’t crush it, they had to bury it alive.
Once trapped in the pit, the Wolf Demon would die sooner or later!
The rocks rained down, filling the pit. The people didn’t stop for a moment, vowing to fill the entire pit before they would rest.
But everyone had overlooked one thing: the pit was too large.
To prevent the Wolf Demon from leaping out, they had dug a pit nearly sixty feet across and over thirty feet deep. Ironically, this gave the Wolf Demon plenty of room to move.
Amidst the rain of rocks, the Wolf Demon was dazed at first, but it quickly broke free and began leaping about inside the pit.
"This is bad! Stop!" Chen An shouted just in time.
He had already realized that trying to bury the Wolf Demon with rocks wouldn’t work. Instead, it would just create a way for the demon to climb out.
Everyone hastily stopped.
Chen An quickly took a torch from a villager and hurled it into the pit.
The bottom of the pit, besides the sharp wooden stakes, was also lined with a large amount of dry grass and firewood.
If burying the Wolf Demon failed, they would burn it to death. This was the backup plan they had all agreed upon.
WHOOSH!
The dry grass and firewood in the pit, doused in oil, instantly ignited and erupted into a raging inferno.
"AWOOOO..."
Though the Gray Wolf Demon was impervious to blades and spears, it was still a creature of flesh and blood. How could it withstand being burned by a raging fire?
Engulfed in flames, it let out a series of piercing, agonizing howls!
Its entire body was soon alight, and its pained cries gradually faded.
Slowly, all movement from the pit ceased. Only the roaring fire remained.
"We finally burned the beast to death!"
Chen An let out a huge sigh of relief.
All the villagers erupted in cheers!
The "Night Howling Lang" was finally dead.
Some began to sing and dance, striking up a familiar folk song:
"Night Howling Lang, stop your wail, hurry on back to your home trail!
Night Howling Lang, don’t be bold, or your dead body will grow cold!"
Soon, everyone was singing along loudly, their voices echoing throughout the entire stockade.
All their worries, the grief of losing loved ones, and their sorrow were all cathartically released in that moment.
"AWOOOO..."
Suddenly! A blood-curdling howl erupted from the village entrance.
Another Gray Wolf Demon had appeared at the entrance. It seemed utterly enraged. The moment it appeared, it charged toward the stockade, moving as fast as a shadow.
The singing stopped abruptly. Everyone was struck with absolute horror.
A "Night Howling Lang," a creature rarely seen even once in decades, and there were actually two of them!
"Fall back! Everyone, fire your arrows!"
Chen An was the first to react, roaring the command.
The women and children scrambled to retreat deeper into the stockade, while the men all nocked arrows and fired at the Gray Wolf Demon.
But the Gray Wolf Demon was unbelievably fast. Most of the arrows couldn’t even touch it.
The arrows fired by Chen Chong and the other few Divine Archers struck the Wolf Demon’s vital points, but they couldn’t penetrate its tough, armored hide.
With a series of metallic PINGS, the arrows simply bounced off.
This only enraged the Gray Wolf Demon further. It suddenly leaped onto the stockade wall, seized a villager with its sharp claws, and bit down with its massive jaws...
After gulping down the blood, the Gray Wolf Demon grew even more frenzied. It dropped the villager’s corpse and pounced on another.
Amidst a piercing scream, this villager was also killed in a single bite!
"Retreat! Get to the tower!"
Chen An made a split-second decision, leaping off the wall and sprinting toward the tower in the center of the stockade.
The Chen brothers and the three Li brothers followed close behind him.
The Wolf Demon was unstoppable. At a critical moment like this, they had to save their own skins first.
The rest of the villagers also scrambled for the tower.
But the women and children who had just emerged had not yet had time to get clear, and were now jamming the entrance to the tower.
