Chapter 64: The Queen
The fire dragon was the first large monster Feng Dust encountered after leaving Xuelin Village. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info's glimpse of the airship left him impressed with this powerful and arrogant monster.
However, Rao was sealed with dust, and he didn't expect that he would meet the king of this flying dragon species again so early.
Almost at the same time that the fleshy wings blocked the sunlight from the roof of the cave, the little hunter shouted the word "run", and the three of them retreated into the road without looking back.
With a "Peng" sound, the female fire dragon with several tons of body fell heavily to the ground. He tossed aside the venison in his mouth, stretched his head and neck out, and roared demonstratively at the crowd who were gone.
"Hey-huh!"
Breeding females can become extremely irritable, and any animal that comes close to a dragon's egg will be ruthlessly torn apart. The female dragon does not actively forage for food during this time, and its food source is usually provided by the male, but even if it is a mate, the Earth Queen will not let it easily get close to the cave.
The female dragon temporarily left the cave at the call of her husband and went to the distance to receive the dinner that the male dragon had hunted for herself. As a result, in the past ten minutes, three small reptiles have touched their old nests.
After the demonstration, looking at the three insects that had fled in the wilderness, the dragon still felt a little uncomfortable, and it moved its legs and rushed towards the crowd.
"It's coming after you!" Feng Dust turned around in a hurry, and saw that the long thorn on the monster's chin was facing his direction, swaying his body from side to side.
The three-man team lacked the heavy weapons to withstand the monster's onslaught head-on, with only two one-handed swords and a bow. This is not a threat to monsters with thick scales under any circumstances. What's more, the fire dragon family is a species that only high-level hunters dare to fight, and the trainee hunters are difficult to compete with it in terms of equipment and experience and technology, so everyone has no desire to fight against it at all, and chooses to flee without hesitation.
Although the tunnel was much smaller than the hall where the female dragon lived, it could accommodate seven or eight people walking side by side, and the height was more than three meters. Standing monsters can easily get in if they retract the meat wings on both sides.
The terrain was completely unable to restrict the monster's movements, and Dusty regretted that he hadn't laid some obstacle traps when he entered. But it's too late to say anything, and the best countermeasure right now is to run as hard as you can, maybe until the monster changes its mind.
The girl's lips opened slightly, struggling to inhale each breath of air. She keenly felt the temperature behind her seem to be gradually rising, and a sense of foreboding rose up her spine, and she turned to see that the monster in the sprint had stopped, and the flames in its mouth were about to be filled.
"Oops!" Shentu Miaoling secretly said that it was not good. With the monster's head facing her, and few parts of her ranged weaponry that could withstand the monster's attack head-on, she had no doubt that her thin armor would instantly turn to molten iron and ashes in front of the Earth Queen's iconic fireball.
A wave of heat hit her, and she instinctively crossed her arms over her chest.
"Death is death, don't let my brother know." Shentu Miaoling's beautiful eyes frowned slightly, but she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a strong force came from the left, knocking her away from the trajectory of the fireball. The girl slammed into the wall of the cave and slid down the wall.
"Xiaoyang!" Seal Dust, who was running on the other side, shouted loudly. Nie Xiaoyang changed the direction of his running when he couldn't make a move, and pushed the girl away with his arms, but he blocked the front of the fireball.
"Bang!" The blazing orange phosphorus fireball exploded on Nie Xiaoyang's reluctantly raised one-handed round shield, and the strong wave of qi and impact caused him to fly backwards.
Feng Chen wanted to catch him, but the sudden explosion of qi pushed him far away, and he was powerless at all. He could only watch the boy fly a few meters, lie sideways and fall to the ground, bounce up diagonally, repeat two or three times, and finally dissipate the collision momentum, and fell in front of him in a big character.
Despite the shield, the scattered sparks and heat waves are not something that ordinary physical armor can resist. The tall boy who fell to the ground, his entire front was already charred black, and he looked terrible.
A white jade hand hurriedly stretched out in front of the young man, ignoring the scorching temperature, brushing away the black ash on the surface of the armor. The girl brushed Nie Xiaoyang's cheeks, the young man's eyebrows and a lock of hair had been burned off, and the rest were curled in the heat, but fortunately, the skin on his face was not burned.
"Where's the injury?" Seeing that Nie Xiaoyang had not lost consciousness, she asked out loud. Although her tone was still cold, the anxiety and concern could not be concealed.
"Aha......" the young man's brow twisted into a knot, "the left arm is probably dislocated, thanks to this breastplate......"
Because the chest armor of the ghost hunting spider is armory, the thermal conductivity is not good, so that the entire front chest of Nie Xiaoyang can not be scorched when the high fire passes. However, when he hit the ground, the impact was too strong, and Nie Xiaoyang felt that his body was like a beaten rice cake, and there was no place where it didn't hurt.
The uninjured right hand silently took the girl's hand, and the boy gasped and stood up.
"Keep running, don't stop!" Seeing that Nie Xiaoyang was fine, Feng Chen temporarily put his mind at ease.
"Life isn't for this." Shentu Miaoling quickly withdrew her arm, dropped a word, and ran out of the cave without looking back.
The blow didn't kill any of the reptiles, and the female dragon looked even angrier, taking a deep breath and brewing a bigger flame than before.
This blow was released, and the living creatures in the tunnel in front of the monster would all be annihilated in the sea of fire, feeling the heat wave coming from behind him, looking at the water curtain close at hand, Feng Chen shouted loudly, "Jump!" ā
A thunderous sound exploded behind the trainee hunters' ears, and the fireball that the Earth Queen spewed out did not condense into a solid shape, but exploded in all directions at a rapid speed. The entire space seemed to be filled with flames, and the eyes were full of red.
The three of them took a big step and jumped violently at the water curtain, and were hit by the air wave of the explosion in midair. This wave of air carried the momentum of thunder, and actually blew the water curtain at the entrance of the cave to the outside.
"Plop" and "plop", several people escaped from the fire with the thrust of the explosion and fell into the waterhole outside the cave. Feng Chen's preparation was too late, Gu Dong choked on two mouthfuls of water, and stood up in embarrassment. Shentu Miaoling had already adjusted her posture, but she had been baptized by the sea of fire and the water curtain successively, and her hair was wet and sticking to her body, and she was also a little scorched. Nie Xiaoyang supported his body with one hand, barely stood up, and the three of them glanced at each other, waded through the water that was not above their knees, and fled towards the forest.
The fire in front of her dissipated, and the female fire dragon temporarily lost the figure of the three reptiles, and it hesitated to poke its head out of the waterfall of the hole**, and the cold water droplets wet the half-burning phosphorus powder overflowing from its mouth. It spat out unburned phosphorus in its mouth and looked left and right for signs of the hunter.
The dragon's gaze tracked to a water stain on the shore, its eyes grim, looking into the distance in the direction of the water stain, and gurgling in its throat, as if preparing for the next round of fireballs.
