Instant Kill! The Power of the Electric Crossbow

The distance to the Shrub Forest from the Shelter's highlands wasn't far.

According to Su Mo's estimation of his own foot speed, it was at most the distance of a university running track, about 400 meters.

Of course, in the event of an engagement, this distance was actually lethal enough.

In the age of cold weapons, the distance a cavalry unit covered from completing the formation—quick walk—slow jog—accelerated run—to the final sprint was about the same.

Any further, and they would be intercepted by the enemy's bows and crossbows, suffering too many casualties; any closer, and they might not have fully built up momentum before reaching the enemy.

The four warrior Kobolds were still foolishly lying on the ground looking for something, but the two warlock Kobolds, with their keen senses, immediately spotted Oreo, who was running like a bolt of lightning.

"Woof hiss woof goo!"

"Goo woof!"

Immediately, the warlock Kobolds directed the warrior Kobolds to quickly form a line, warily watching Oreo as he ran.

"Good! Well done, just keep watching for a while, don't pay attention to me!"

Oreo perfectly fulfilled his task, running and barking.

The husky's ample stamina made him an extremely perfect bait for this kind of mission.

Bending his body, Su Mo jogged quickly across the yellow earth.

The distance continued to close.

Two hundred and fifty meters... two hundred meters... one hundred and fifty meters... until he estimated that he was about one hundred and twenty meters away from the rearmost Kobold, Su Mo instantly dropped to the ground, switching out the brand-new, unused Electric Crossbow from his storage space.

He turned on the power switch.

Waiting three seconds for the self-check to complete.

The moment the green light came on, Su Mo focused his vision through the scope, using it to look at the Kobolds who were still admiring Oreo's run.

The first arrow, without a doubt.

Warlock Kobold! He gently pressed the pre-tensioner button before pulling the trigger, which was also the "safety" on the Electric Crossbow.

A crackling sound of electricity passed through, and the 20 amp-hour lithium battery began to release energy, transferring it to the motor.

The motor worked, and the tensioner was pulled to full load in less than a second.

"Goodbye!"

Su Mo said softly, then pulled the trigger.

There was no point in talking to monsters; once you saw them, it was either you die or they die! The Electric Crossbow wasn't much different from a mechanical one in terms of power, except that it eliminated the cocking step through the motor and tensioner, achieving rapid-fire capability.

Even so, a black shadow flashed past, and in the scope, the warlock Kobold on the left was instantly headshot.

The enormous impact struck the warlock Kobold's forehead, sending his entire body flying backward about half a meter before he collapsed to the ground.

Before the remaining Kobolds could panic, another black shadow flashed past.

The crossbow bolt struck the chest of a warrior Kobold next to him.

This arrow was originally aimed at the head of another Kobold warlock, but it was blocked by the warrior Kobold's panicked turn.

With this buffer, the remaining Kobolds quickly screamed and huddled together, firmly surrounding the noble warlock Kobold in the middle.

"Heh, you think you can hide like that? Stealing a police car to run a taxi, you're asking for death!"

Under the scope, a smile tugged at the corner of Su Mo's mouth as he continued to pull the trigger.

The sound of the tensioner pulling back, accompanied by the whistling wind on the plain, was like a melody played by the Grim Reaper.

Every arrow took a monster's life.

Like a dimensional strike, all the Kobolds holding spears couldn't see where the attack was coming from, and the next second, a companion would fall.

In less than half a minute.

Oreo hadn't even run a second round trip to attract attention before the Kobold squad in the Shrub Forest was reduced to the last Kobold warlock.

"Woof woof oooo..."

Seeing the death of his companions, the Kobold warlock, who had been very tough, suddenly knelt on the ground, pressing his entire head close to the ground.

"Oh?"

Su Mo raised his eyebrows, looking at the Kobold's "performance" with slight surprise.

With such powerful magical strength, the Kobold Warlock would actually surrender?

At this moment, Su Mo even had the feeling that it was already falling, and he hadn't even used his strength yet.

It seems that magic can't beat my technological weapons.

Touching the Electric Crossbow in his hand, Su Mo grinned and continued to aim while lying on the ground.

Among this group of Kobolds, perhaps temporarily leaving this Warlock Kobold alive would be a good choice.

But before that, Su Mo pressed the cocking device, opened the magazine, and reloaded five ordinary crossbow bolts without Acid Rain.

Pfft! A black shadow flashed, and the Kobold, still crawling on the ground, was immediately sent flying backward by the crossbow bolt.

Stuck in his skinny arm was a jet-black crossbow bolt.

Purplish-red blood mixed with the Warlock Kobold's screams echoed across the wasteland, and besides the noisy wind comforting him, there was Pfft! Another crossbow bolt! Two crossbow bolts firmly pinned the Warlock Kobold to the ground. After the arrowheads pierced the ground, the fletching was still trembling.

Putting away the crossbow and replacing it with the Beech Spear, Su Mo stood up and walked towards the Warlock Kobold.

Oreo, who was still circling to the side, stopped his steps after realizing that the situation was set, and stayed about thirty meters away from the Warlock Kobold, starting to bark.

"Woof~~ Oooooooo~"

"Woof?"

Seeing that the Warlock Kobold didn't respond, Oreo's face showed excitement, and he quietly moved forward ten meters, barking again.

"Woof?"

This time, seeing that the Warlock Kobold really couldn't resist, Oreo immediately started his four-wheel-drive engine, and with unparalleled power, kicked the Warlock Kobold, who was pinned to the ground, head-on.

He also took the wooden stick used for casting spells from the ground with his mouth.

Oreo was quite satisfied with this wave of beating a dog in the water, and Su Mo, who was walking from a distance, didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This little guy doesn't say it, but he actually has so much resentment in his heart. No wonder, his fur was burned off by them.

With a smile, Su Mo walked very easily.

This came from a correct understanding of his own strength, and also the strong sense of security brought to him by the Electric Crossbow.

With such a weapon that could cause effective damage from a hundred meters away, what was the Kobold's Fireball? At best, it could be regarded as a Hand Grenade that couldn't be thrown far.

The Warlock Kobold, who had been pinned down by the crossbow bolts and hit in the head by Oreo, was now lying on the ground, a little delirious.

From afar, seeing Su Mo coming with a spear, he closed his dog eyes in despair.

"Woof."

A low whimper came from his mouth.

At this moment, Su Mo's image in his heart had been infinitely elevated.

This man, like a god of death, had the ability to destroy them in the shadows. How could the weak Kobolds be a match for this kind of demon?

The Warlock Kobold even remembered what his deceased Kobold father had said: "If one day, you can meet the legendary human powerhouse, remember, don't rush up immediately, they are very terrifying!"

A trace of memories flashed quickly through the Warlock Kobold's mind. The large-scale slaughter of the human village a few days ago would eventually have to be repaid?

He knew that this was the last memory before death.

However, a stream of clear spring water suddenly poured into his parched, blood-seeping throat.

Under the infusion of the clear spring, the wound on his arm that was gushing blood stopped bleeding, and the burning sensation in his chest gradually disappeared.

He curiously opened his eyes. What a Fireball-sized fist!

With this thought, he passed out "happily".
