Chapter 15: Hunting and Being Hunted
"It's dead?"
The four of them cautiously gathered around, cautiously watching the fallen Flame Queen.
Heavy rain fell on the Flame Queen's body, making her emerald green scales particularly chilling.
"How could it be so easy.. We've just just played each other..."Xiaohua wondered.
"Maybe it's about to die, and we just happened to run into it, and it was given a ride...", the second mastiff said lightly.
The second mastiff suddenly bent down and looked at the queen's head buried in the earth. Heavy rains wash over the dirt bags, and the rain mixes into the mud, making the mud thick and thick. The second mastiff suddenly plunged his hand into the mud and grabbed something.
"I think it's safer that we should put a stab in its neck." Rook was quite cautious.
The second mastiff was a little disgusted with the captain's caution: "What monster will make the hunter obediently grab its head?" If it had lived, it would have fooled me with a fireball. ”
Anyway, grab what you have in your hand and bring it up.
It is the head of a female fire dragon.
"Look..."The second mastiff ostentatiously displayed the trophy in his hand, but the moment he picked it up, the two vertical pupils on the dragon's head stared at the second mastiff.
"Hello." The second mastiff greeted the Flame Queen awkwardly.
The queen lifted her wings, which were still usable despite several holes. The huge and heavy body flew up, another mid-air tail flick. This time, it wasn't attacking the heavily guarded Rook, who had a huge shield. It's a defenseless mastiff.
Bang!
The heavy tail hit the second mastiff, and the second mastiff was sent flying ten meters away by the huge force. Under the light of lightning, the poisonous thorns on the tail of the Queen of Flames and the wounds on the body of the second mastiff glowed a dark purple color.
"Mastiff!" Rook roared angrily, he didn't have time to lift his shield, and the spear in his hand stabbed the queen flying in the air! The Flame Queen nimbly dodged the attack, but her good fortune came to an end. Xiaohua's ballista was aimed at the queen and pulled the trigger.
The Flame Queen fell to the ground.
The claws on its wings are broken.
But it doesn't matter, after all, the predecessor of the Flame Queen, the female fire dragon, has the title of the Queen of the Earth, which is enough to show that the Flame Queen is more powerful in land warfare than in air combat.
It scrambled to its feet, roared at Xiaohua, and then turned its head away, concentrating on the two people in front of it.
The second mastiff struggled to hold himself up, and although his whole body was in sharp pain all the time, he knew that if he didn't treat himself, the venom injected into his body by the Queen of Flames with her tail would take his life at any time!
He did his best to open his fanny pack, revealing its contents.
Fragments of the Regeneration Elixir, Antidote, Glitter Jade, and Dyeed Jade.
Under the severe blow, these consumables were all damaged. He had no choice but to grab his fanny pack and pour the contents mixed with the rain into his mouth.
Knock knock knock.
The recovery medicine is mixed with dyed jade, then mixed with some glitter jade, and finally put some antidote. This is the hope of saving the life of the sub-mastiff.
After drinking the mixed liquid, the severe pain invaded his whole body, and he lay down weakly.
The Flame Queen is a flick of her tail again.
Honkai unloaded his charge, and his tail brushed his body dangerously. And Rook, who was not afraid of the Flame Queen's attack at all, could only do it in a hurry, the spear in his hand was so heavy that the Flame Queen easily saw through this, so that she did not pester Rook and chased down the Honkai who had no lethal power but no means of defense.
"Xiaohua, stop it!" Rook shouted in a panic after Honkai dodged a dangerous blow again. Rook was also dazed and called a long-range shooter to stop the Flame Queen.
Xiaohua glanced at Luke, and then pulled the trigger again.
For each shot, only a few pieces of the hit scales can be bounced.
Although he was extremely anxious, Xiaohua remained calm. Silently doing what should be done most.
"Damn it!" Rook scolded. He put the spear back behind his back so he could run instead of being held back by the spear.
With his shield on his chest, he ran towards the Flame Queen, hoping to attract the monster's attention and save his teammates.
The queen who hunted down Honkai seemed to feel Rook's wrath.
It "inadvertently" turned back... The thick tail slapped on the body of Honkai, who had already exhausted his physical strength and barely escaped by relying on his willpower.
Honkai crashed into the trunk of a tree and completely lost its combat effectiveness.
"Honkai!" Rook roared. But in the face of the queen's direct gaze, he could not make the first counterattack. You can only stretch out a thick shield as a defensive stance. The spear is still hanging on his back!
I saw that when the Flame Queen was hit by the ballista's painless blow, there was a red light shining in her mouth.
Then spray it into the sky.
Heavenly?
Luke looked at the wyvern in front of him with hatred but puzzlement.
I saw the dragon sly smile. Look at it from the sky.
The fireball falls to the ground. Slammed into Luke's back.
The Flame Queen was such a cunning creature that it knew it would never be able to break Rook's frontal shield no matter what. But.... What if the attack comes from behind?
The fireball was spat into the air, slicing across a parabola, and smashing into Rook less than a meter behind him.
A violent explosion struck from behind Luke, sending the whole thing flying.
After landing on the ground, you can still see behind him, there is a flame burning that cannot be extinguished by heavy rain.
Three people fell.
The Flame Queen looked at the last of her combat power with a bloodthirsty gaze.
A stone smashes into the Flame Queen's head.
It may be that the power of the stone is too small, and under the raindrops of the same strength, the queen can't feel the attack of the stone for a while.
Keida, who threw the stone, frowned, and he picked up a larger stone from the ground.
Smashed.
With a bang, the queen glanced angrily at the visitor.
It's a little kid who hasn't grown any hair.
The queen turned her head away disdainfully.
But the moment he turned his head, flames spat out of his mouth and spewed towards Keida.
Soldiers don't get tired of cheating! This trick can be used for those who have just left the newcomer but are not that experienced. Because contemptuous ignorance can anger the hunter, and when the hunter is angry, all it takes is a surprise fireball to make him ascend to heaven. But this trick is not available for newcomers or experienced people. Newcomers will be very nervous and focused when facing new monsters. And the veteran has long seen its measurement, so he will not be fooled.
Unfortunately, Keda is a newcomer. So when he saw the red light coming from the queen's mouth, he immediately rolled to the side.
Fireballs exploded around Keda, splashes of muddy water all over him.
He scrambled to his feet, wiping the mud from his face and looking at the Flame Queen.
The Flame Queen looked at Keida very unhappily, and then glanced at Xiaohua, who she had just wanted to deal with.
A sword, a ballista.
It measures the size of the threat to two people. In the end, it chose Keida, who was holding the sword.
In the battle just now, the ballista did not do much damage to it, at most piercing the wing membrane and destroying the scales.
But melee is different.
The queen is well aware.
The Flame Queen spread her wings and sailed with the wind, charging at Keda.
Keida clenched the knife in his hand, and sweat began to ooze from his hands.
He quietly calculated the distance of the Flame Queen, and it was at the most appropriate moment. He swung his sword and slashed to the side. Carrying a huge centrifugal force to throw yourself out.
The Flame Queen's impact passed by, and not only that, but the sword in Keida's hand also slashed the queen's face. Left a white scratch.
The flexibility of the robe is reflected.
This encounter gave Keida a great deal of confidence, and he looked at the queen who was beginning to become angry, and courage filled his heart.
————————
You shit!
No! I'm not! Rook cried.
You're not? His mouth overflowed with infinite disdain.
You're not a waste, you're going to hunt a one-horned dragon! You don't need an adult horned dragon, even if it's just appeared.
Luke silently held back tears, huddled in the corner of the room, shivering.
——————
The stagnant mind began to jump.
Rook grabbed the shield in his hand, struggled to prop up his body with his hands, and struggled to get up.
Behind, the pain from the violent explosion remains. But he didn't care.
None of this is anything compared to childhood memories.
He stood up, his left hand wiping the mud from his face that was obstructing his vision.
In the hazy rain, he saw a man with a sword fighting the Flame Queen.
Kida?
Rook thought puzzled. But his chaotic brain didn't support him to do more of his thought process, and he subconsciously pulled out his spear.
Keida slashed at the Queen's green, orange spiny wings.
The Tai Knife, which had degenerated into an orange slash, slashed on its wings and slid down, and the orange slash had no way to leave even white marks.
The Flame Queen began to tease Keda when she realized that Kida's attacks could not hurt her at all.
With a flick of its tail, Kida had to roll over to dodge, but Kida's counterattack could not even leave a white mark.
The queen howled excitedly and began to store fire in her mouth.
Keda is another messy tumbling.
However, the Flame Queen was so happy that she didn't see the sneak attack from behind.
Rook slung a spear to his chest and charged the Flame Queen to death. Rush towards the Flame Queen with unparalleled impact.
The sharpest tip of the spear pierced the queen's hind leg mercilessly, and the spear snapped in response, leaving the tip of the spear inside the queen's body.
The Flame Queen screamed and fell to the ground.
It hurt its leg that allowed it to run on the ground!
A flash of lightning flashed, illuminating everyone's faces.
Rook's perseverance.
Kida's shock.
Xiaohua's delight.
The Queen's Resentment.
It's like a beautiful picture.
The Flame Queen propped herself up on her other leg, her long neck helping it grab its head, and the blazing flames in her mouth were aimed at Rook.
Rook went up to a shield strike. Splashed out a few blood flowers, directly knocking back the flames of the Flame Queen.
Anyone would know how to beat the Reservoir Dogs, and without Rook's reminder, they launched an attack on the Flame Queen, who was temporarily suppressed by Rook.
Keida learned to be obedient, and since the sword couldn't cut through the scales, he aimed the tip of the knife at the Flame Queen's wounds and wing membranes.
And Xiaohua was even more desperate, one by one the crossbow shells were thrown into the large wound with the tip of the gun.
The Flame Queen let out a series of screams.
