Bab 52: Chapter 51
Chen Ye's hearing had reached an almost supernatural level. His vision had also improved significantly.
From atop the city wall, he could clearly hear the captain's orders, even though they were spoken softly.
He did not call for help. With his current strength and strong will, there was no way he would seek help before even facing the enemy.
Chen Ye stood still. After a moment's thought, he took out the black sword, Shusui, from his personal space. For him, this sword was still quite useful.
Finally, the vibrations grew closer. From the city wall, the captain's command rang out: "There are seven taotie in total. Archers, aim for their eyes! Don't let them get close! Everyone else, defend the wall and hold out until the commander arrives!"
Chen Ye was slightly surprised to hear this. Taotie? Aren't they mythical creatures?
There was no time to think. The next moment, a monster crested the hill and appeared in Chen Ye's line of sight. It was a grotesque and eerie creature, with a huge head that had only nostrils and a large mouth full of sharp teeth, making it look extremely ferocious and terrifying.
The monster's eyes were not on its head but under its armpits. Its limbs were powerful, its body agile, and it was three times the size of a human. When it charged, it was as terrifying as a rhinoceros.
Seeing the monster, Chen Ye suddenly realized what kind of world he had entered.
"Shoot!" The captain's order echoed from the wall. In an instant, a rain of arrows fell from the sky. But the taotie were very alert and protected their armpit eyes when they saw the arrows. Their thick skin and tough flesh made the arrows ineffective.
Not a single monster was harmed by this wave of arrows. The captain on the wall turned pale and shouted through gritted teeth, "Archers fall back! Spearmen, step forward and prepare to engage!"
It was time for close combat. The taotie moved too quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they were at the base of the city wall. At this close range, archers were much less effective and could only assist from the sides.
A line of soldiers holding long spears moved to the edge of the wall. They were clearly frightened, some even trembling. They looked down at the young man below with sympathetic eyes.
Taotie only ate humans, and they showed no mercy. To them, all humans were delicious food. To the soldiers on the wall, the oddly dressed young man was surely doomed to a horrible death.
As the taotie charged, Chen Ye did not let his guard down. If these creatures were like the ones he had seen in a movie, they were quite formidable.
"Roar!!" A taotie approached Chen Ye, roaring and lunging at him. Many on the wall watched with wide eyes, unable to look away.
Chen Ye remained calm and fearless. With his current strength, these few taotie were not a threat to him.
"Roar!" The leading taotie leaped into the air, aiming to land directly on Chen Ye. Finally, Chen Ye moved. Instead of retreating, he charged towards the taotie. With a few quick steps, he dodged the taotie's claws and swung his sword in a swift arc.
With a splat, the taotie fell to the ground, motionless. Chen Ye didn't even bother to look at it, his eyes now fixed on the remaining six taotie, gleaming with anticipation.
He had just received a system notification: "You have killed a Taotie (Soldier Beast) and earned 100 points!"
A mere taotie soldier was worth 100 points?
At this moment, the terrifying taotie, seen by others as fearsome monsters, looked adorable to Chen Ye.
He strode towards the six taotie. After he had taken several steps, the taotie he had just fought finally moved. Its body suddenly split in two, spraying dark green blood everywhere before collapsing to the ground.
It had been cut in half by Chen Ye with a single strike!
Everyone on the city wall was stunned. Even the captain was left gaping, staring at Chen Ye in disbelief.
No one had ever managed to kill a taotie in single combat so easily before.
