Chapter 1599: Chapter 799: Unstoppable Momentum (Part 2)The moment those Usmer militias saw it, they boldly raised their long spears and thrust them fiercely at the Withered Vine Creatures.
The thrusting was largely ineffective. The layers of vines were stacked upon one another, seemingly endless, and highly resilient, like natural vine armor, providing effective defense. Most of the thrusts couldn’t penetrate deep into its body, hence unable to harm the essence of life hidden deep within.
Great force creates miracles.
Occasionally, some extraordinarily strong individuals, aided by a running start, managed to thrust their spears deep into the bodies of Withered Vine Creatures.
A thick substance sprayed out from its body instantly, black, foul, and sticky, sticking to anything it landed on.
Whoosh!
Some splashed into the surrounding bonfires, immediately causing a flare-up.
“This stuff is flammable! Quick! Use flame attacks!”
Some sharp-witted people quickly reacted, dipping their spears in the grease used for oiling fire arrows, wrapping a layer of cotton cloth, lighting it up, and converting them into temporary firearms for thrusting at the wounded Withered Vine Creatures.
Boom!
The substance flowing from the wounds of the Withered Vine Creatures, akin to blood, was indeed highly flammable, burning fiercely on the spot.
Soon the entire Vine Creature turned into a giant torch, struggling desperately as if attempting one last fight, but was immobilized by several crossed long spears.
“Watch out!”
“Get out of the way!”
The Great Valley Rangers shouted warnings loudly, but it was already a step too late.
Many immobilized Vine Creatures, whether ignited or dying, exploded with a bang, spewing countless foul liquid and vines, sweeping all around, covering an area of four to five meters in radius.
Those Usmer militias unable to dodge in time were sprayed directly. The unignited Vine Creatures mostly just caused unbearable stench and accompanied by itching.
The ignited Vine Creatures were troublesome, igniting anyone splashed, causing painful rolling and significant chaos.
The black substance inside the Vine Creatures was similar to grease, difficult to put out with water and very resistant to burning. If it stained clothes, one could remove the clothing to get rid of it, but once it clung to the skin, either the area would burn and rot, or the flesh would have to be cut away.
Among the Usmer militias were some ruthless enough to draw short knives carried on them, carving their flesh or severing arms, paying a heavy price, but better than burning to death.
“Don’t engage in prolonged battles with them! Push them off the city walls and use fire arrows to ignite them!”
The Usmer city garrison, having suffered greatly, quickly adjusted their tactics. The Usmer militias utilized the advantage of their long spears, directly sticking the Vine Creatures with them, either pushing or lifting, hurling them off the city walls one by one.
Fire arrows followed precisely, hitting the wounds covered in foul grease and igniting them.
The explosions of the Vine Creatures were evidently uncontrollable, especially once ignited, they would explode even among their comrades.
Many exploded mid-air, causing a rain of fire outside the city walls of Usmer, setting many Withering Branch Monsters aflame.
Once their traits were understood, these Vine Creatures weren’t too difficult to deal with. Although Vine Creatures occasionally crashed onto the city walls, the Usmer militias were enough to clear them off again.
“Prepare for a large-scale assault, the Withering Branch Monsters are charging up again.”
This activated plant army astonishingly coordinated with foot and artillery. As the Vine Creatures hurled onto the city walls stirred chaos, countless Withering Branch Monsters emerged from the darkness, densely packed like ants, rapidly approaching the city walls of Usmer and beginning to climb up.ration power can surpass heavy crossbows. They can embed several centimeters into brick walls, not to mention easily piercing cloth armor and beast-hide armor.
The most troublesome are the paralyzing toxins embedded within these wooden spikes, causing the hit area to lose sensation quickly.
If hit by three needles in succession, even without striking vitals, one would be paralyzed all over, lying on the ground unable to move for half the day.
