11. Beasts of the deep forest

The Ancient Tree Forest is called the Ancient Tree Forest not only because of its huge ancient trees that are taller than the highest mountains, but also because of the flourishing tropical forests that grow on the ancient trees.

Those wild tropical trees and shrubs filled the blank branches of ancient trees with the emerald green of life, and also provided shelter for countless animals and monsters.

In the depths of the inaccessible deep forest, there are not only many dangerous large monsters, but also many strange or extremely useful materials.

For example, the plant in front of me is only more than a meter tall, with short, wide leaves, sharp barbs on the branches, and more than a dozen milky white strip-shaped fruits hanging from them. Although this plant seems to be everywhere in the forest, the fruit of this plant is actually a rare item material!

Scholars in the New World named it the "Cleaved Fruit", which is an extremely powerful ammunition called the raw material of the "Cleaved Bullet", which only needs to be slightly processed so that it can be loaded into a ballista and fired to cause massive damage!

Inside the Split Fruit is an inflatable sac, which is made up entirely of sharp flaky flesh beneath its skin, as sharp as a steel blade, and the damage it deals when exploded can even cut through the scale armor of monsters, cutting off monsters' claws and tails!

Kuro carefully used his dagger to pick the slashed fruits one by one, and the happy smile on the big old man's face couldn't be stopped.

"Oh, hehehe, old man, Uncle Ben is developed this time, so many slashing fruits, it's no problem to get a new weapon for you!"

Kuro gave a thumbs up, and a bright light flashed on the big white teeth.

Fichte looked away, trying not to look at him, to prevent himself from being infected by Hanhan.

He crouched down two meters away from the sheared fruit tree and began to look for nearby traces.

Within two meters of the slashed fruit tree, there was almost no grass, and the rocky ground was covered with marks that looked like swords slashing, which were the marks left by the spontaneous explosion of the slashed fruit after it was overripe.

As Fichte gently brushed away the newborn lichen on the ground, a large footprint was revealed. There are traces of large monsters moving around here, and it seems that they have seen the shape somewhere.

"Saltin, give me a ...... of the guide bottle"

Fichte took the bamboo tube handed by Saldin, scraped some of the dirt from the footprints, and covered it with a lid, and the guide insects in the bamboo tube remembered the breath of the monster in the dirt, and when this breath reappeared, they would fly out with the breath.

Fichte followed the direction of the footprints.

The whole forest was silent, and even the sound of the wind disappeared without a trace after the wild laughter of Kulo had dissipated, except for the occasional faint mottled shadow in the shadowy depths of the dense forest.

It's a little scary.

A ray of sunlight fell through the gap in the top of the tree, providing the only light to the dense forest, and a golden sunflower grew proudly.

The large yellow and delicate petals, the fragrant flower bones and the plump fruit grains make it a rare and delicious ingredient at a glance!

"Sardin, you come to collect the traces, I'll go to the front and have a look."

Fichte threw his tools to a disgruntled Saldin, pulled out his dagger, and ran over to dig up the ingredients.

This delicious flower, with thick and fleshy petals and full of vitality, will be a rare feast for the taste buds when handed over to the chef!

On the other side, Kuro finally finished collecting the Cracked Fruit.

He patted the bulging ammunition pouch with satisfaction, turned his head to see that his companions were not a short distance away from him, and quickly dragged his limbs forward.

In this environment, they dared to distract themselves outside the protection range of their partners, and they were really too comfortable on the ship, and they had forgotten their vigilance.

"Hey! You two are really, you two are really, and you don't know how to remind Uncle Ben when you go forward......"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Fichte, who was squatting in the sun, swooping forward.

At the same time, a huge black shadow burst out of the dense forest like a cannonball!

"Ang β€”β€”!"

I saw that the black shadow stepped heavily towards Fichte's original position, and after landing with a "boom", the terrifying giant beast that was supposed to pounce forward suddenly froze!

The yellow lightning exploded from the ground and spread directly to the whole body of the giant beast.

It's a paralysis trap! What a cunning hunter, Fichte didn't know when he secretly planted a paralysis trap under his feet!

It was only then that Kuro saw the true appearance of the terrifying beast that suddenly attacked.

With a strong jaw covered with large thorns, extremely thick hind legs and a long tail, peach-pink scales, and purple-black fur from back to tail, it is toned and ferocious!

It turned out to be a brute-jawed dragon!

Kuro was terrified.

According to the information provided by the investigation team, the danger of this creature at the top of the food chain on the periphery of the New World is not only its large size, but also the special structure of its throat -

A "Flame Bag" that stores "Flame Dust"!

This large beast dragon species is the strongest predator in the ancient tree forest except for the fire dragon, and like the fire dragon, it can spew terrifying high-temperature flames!

He set up the heavy crossbow weighing hundreds of pounds on his back, and took out a wrist-thick pointed ammunition from his bag - a sniper dragon bullet that caused armor-piercing damage!

This is one of the few ammo in his ammo pouch that can deal enough damage to large dragons.

Raise your gun, aim!

With his tacit understanding with Fichte, he could immediately understand that the other party needed his cooperation to create opportunities.

Fichte had already been vigilant when he noticed the footprint.

Although the footprints had been there for more than a week, and even moss had grown due to the dampness of the place, as long as it existed, it proved that this was the living area of the monster.

It can emerge from anywhere at any time and deal a fatal blow to the prey that steps into it!

Hunters don't tell their prey in advance, "I'm coming to hunt you." ”

Now, the other party is the hunter, and Fichte, is the prey. However, this is temporary, as long as the monster shows its traces, then the offensive and defensive momentum may be reversed in an instant, and it is still unknown who is the hunter and who is the prey.

Therefore, he was always on the lookout for movement around him.

This is an ancient forest of trees! Danger is everywhere!

How could a hunter let his guard down in such a place?

Hunting is to use everything to expand one's advantages until it is completely crushed, rather than starting with a knife, and the material is all based on rigidity.

Fichte has already figured out the features of the surrounding terrain, and now is the time to put them to use!

Landing and rolling up, he touched a handful of jug balls growing by the water, and his eyes looked above his head.

Above it, there was originally a lush tropical rainforest and the huge branches of ancient trees, which shaded the sky and the sun.

But not far from the top of the brute-jawed dragon's head, a huge block of earth and stone was entwined by several vines, hanging from it, and the breeze and the shaking of the ground made it stagger.

Just give it a gentle thrust, and all it takes is the projectile fired from the catapult to hit it, and you can turn this dangling boulder into a weapon, which can become a big bargaining chip on the hunting scale!

All you need to do is get the Jawed Dragon's head to go that way......

Fichte, who stood still, gave a thumbs up to Kuro, who was holding a ballista not far away.

The other party grinned in return, and then pulled the trigger hard-

"Pong!"

The arm-thick sniper dragon bullet pierced through the scale armor and nailed deep into the jaw of the brute-jawed dragon.

At this moment, the effect of the paralyzing trap is gone!

"Roar!"

The humiliation of being teased by its prey and the sharp pain in its jaw made it extremely angry, and the brute-jawed dragon roared.

But its roar was immediately choked by an even more violent attack!

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The sniper dragon bullet exploded three times, directly pushing the shrapnel into the flesh and blood of the barbarian dragon's jaw, and the sturdy thorn was blasted open to the hideous wound, dripping with blood that could not stop flowing.

The head of the Brute Jaw Dragon was also deflected to one side by the impact of the explosion.

At the same time, a jug ball struck the boulder on top.

Just listen to the "boom", the gravel splashes!

The Jawed Dragon was completely buried in the smoke and dust.

Opportunity!

Fichte saw the fallen figure of the Jawed Dragon in the smoke.

He shot out like an arrow from a string, drew his sword, stepped forward, slashed!

The blade pointed directly at the huge eyes on the front side of the brute-jawed dragon's forehead!

As long as it can blind its eyes, this sudden hunting encounter is half the battle!

A thin but sharp piece of sword, wielding a thousand pounds in Fichte's hands! The blade sliced through the air, pulling out an eardrum-tearing pop, and the afterimage ignored the interference of the surrounding plant branches and leaves, and slashed through the air in a graceful arc, slashing at the dazed and painful eyes of the brute-jawed dragonβ€”

"Boom!"

Blades and scales clash, sparks fly!

Fichte's pupils shrank suddenly, and he retreated sharply without a knife, without a fight, and at the same time the round shield in his right hand was closed in front of him, and he jumped backwards in a defensive posture.

"Gaba!"

A bloody mouth suddenly appeared where Fichte had been standing, and the bite of the jaw even dug a deep pit into the ground.

Fichte was able to dodge a desperate counterattack from the Brute-Jawed Dragon!

He stood five meters away from the Barbarian Jaw Dragon, staring at the terrifying giant beast in front of him, his face extremely solemn.

This guy is so smart!

When he was knocked down by a boulder before, he pretended to expose his eyes, and when the blade approached, his eyelids closed, directly blocking the danger, and also determined the location of the "prey" by the way.

If Fichte hadn't reacted quickly and retreated with one blow, I'm afraid his entire body would have been bitten into two knots!

And taking advantage of Fichte's retreat, the brute-jawed dragon's thick tail propped up on the ground and rolled over steadily.

Angry, it spews sparks out of its nostrils!

"Ang-roar!!"

The huge roar of the brute-jawed dragon made Fichte, who was not wearing earplugs, have a splitting headache, and his hands involuntarily covered his head, and his legs were weak and difficult to move!

Damn, careless!

Is it too long since you hunted a large dragon? I forgot to guard against this roar that is like heaven!

The angry and furious brute-jawed dragon in front of it, a large nasal bone shaped like a crown bulged from the top of its nose, and sparks flew everywhere! The purple-black fur on its back spreads out on both sides of the two-meter-high sail-like wing membrane, making it look even bigger!

Fichte knew that the next moment the roar stopped, it would be the moment when the brute-jawed dragon unleashed a fatal blow at him.
