The footsteps of the huge peak-shaped shadow grew heavier and heavier like a drumbeat, and finally appeared in the hunters' field of vision. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When the night that shrouded the monster was finally lifted by the firelight and explosions near the airship, the entire battlefield seemed to be frozen in an instant, and it stood still for a second.

"That thing...... Is it also a monster? The fat boy opened his fingers covering his eyes slightly, and said in an unnatural trembling tone.

"Of course it's a monster," Cheng Jing's Adam's apple moved up and down, "Sure enough, is this the true power of the fierce land......"

The "Dragons" are not a specific type of monster, but a collective term for a group of monsters with the strongest combat power under the ancient dragons.

Wang Li's paleontology scrivener team has investigated the monsters at the top of various ecological niches on the continent, and found that most of them have a more or less subtle connection with the bloodline of the existing ancient dragon species. Some scholars have put forward some extreme theories - the monsters in the world are all blood children of the ancient dragon race, and the monsters with stronger ancient dragon blood will correspondingly occupy a higher position in the ecological chain, and the law of rank comes from this. Whether this theory is correct or not, it is undeniable that most of the excellent genes on those monsters with powerful combat power are gifts from the ancient dragon race. Outrageously powerful physical strength, incredible combat ability, and mysterious methods that slightly change the surrounding environment...... None of this looks like something that a species can get by evolution alone.

Armored dragons are one of them.

"That guy has his own warship to deal with!" Zhong Dinghui was the first to get rid of the shock of facing the high-level monsters, and shouted loudly, "Give me the spirit to fight!" ”

Nie Xiaoyang and Xiong Fujiqiang retracted their gaze from the monster that exuded terrifying power in the distance, but their hearts beat faster than the other. When they were in the valley, the boys had faced rock dragons digging into the ground when the beast tide came, and they were deeply impressed by the monster's thick shell and devastating flame rays. Luo Pingyang once told the trainees that the rock dragon was only in the juvenile stage of this species, and it was the stage when it was the weakest in terms of aggression and strength, and that the combat power of the rock dragon when it grew up was several times higher, almost comparable to a miniature volcano.

At that time, they only thought that they had heard a strange story from the mainland, and they didn't think that after two months, they and others would really be able to see the demeanor of the adult rock dragon.

The monster in the distance was more than three times larger than the young rock dragon, nearly thirty meters long, and its body height was already more than eight meters.

Seeing that the two trainees were so frightened by the newly intruding monster that they were distracted, Cheng Jing and his companions had to replace them and take over the job of fighting the poisonous monster bird. The teenagers didn't have time to care, so they retreated to the side to press the formation for the one-star hunters, their eyes still looking directly at the armored dragon coming step by step, and the weapons in their hands were subconsciously clenched tightly.

Almost at the first moment when the armor dragon approached the range of the naval guns, with a series of explosions, all the naval guns that were still idle shot at the same moment. Seven or eight thick steel projectiles roared towards the armored dragon's body, trying to keep the monster out of the battlefield. The hundreds of monsters behind the armored dragon are all looking at it, and as long as it can stop its movements, the attack of the land species will be delayed, and the hunters will have more time to digest the opponent in front of them.

"Boom!" The first cannonball hit the monster's body in the blink of an eye, and the violent explosion actually made a sound of gold and iron on the armored dragon. The monster that had been hit at the base of its wings was caught off guard and staggered back two steps, grunting in pain.

"Naval guns are useless!" The smoke cleared, and the armored dragon's body was covered with a layer of explosive embers, but there was no blood at all, and the powerful blow that could have shattered the armor and skin was borne by the heavy rock armor, leaving only a hot projectile at its feet.

The next moment, the aching Armored Dragon shrank its body, its wings protected its side, its tail curled up, and it lay firmly on the spot, and the remaining cannonballs also flew over, but only sparks splashed on its back and wings, and none of them could break the armory dragon's defense.

"Good...... It's so strong! Xiong Fuji's Adam's apple moved up and down, "This guy ...... Can it really be defeated? ”

The round of artillery bombardment ended in an instant, and seven or eight huge iron balls were scattered around the armored dragon, but the monster itself was unscathed. It stood up with a shake of its wings, its head and neck back, and took a deep breath.

"Oh - hum ——!" The roar of a living creature resounded throughout the battlefield, and the cry of the moving fortress could be caught by human ears, but it was as irritating as an ant devouring a heart. The trainees clenched their ears and grinned, and the chilling roar lasted for five or six seconds before slowly dissipating.

"Be careful!" With the end of the monster's roar, Xiong Fuji's heart suddenly gave birth to a strong warning, and he unconsciously opened his mouth to scream, but even he didn't know where the crisis started.

Nie Xiaoyang reacted the second time, seeing that the red light in the mouth of the armored dragon was getting brighter and brighter, and then shouted loudly: "Get down!" ”

A dazzling pillar of red-orange light, as thick as a bucket, pierced the gloomy night sky like a bridge erected by the gods, and crossed the battlefield. The pillar of light swept from the tail end of the westernmost airship and headed east, creating a terrifying half-arc with the armored dragon's body as the axis.

The temperature of the battlefield soared several degrees at a speed that could be felt by the body, and the terrifying energy that suddenly burst out of the monster's body seemed to expose the thousands of square meters of battlefield to the scorching summer sun. The trainees were on all fours, their heads pressed against the slippery mud, feeling the scorching heat on their backs, perhaps for a brief moment, perhaps for a few seconds, and just when the teenagers could barely bear the pain of the flames, the pillar of fire finally plowed over the heads of the crowd and swept away with a heavy smell of sulfur.

The boys were speechless until the pillar of light completely dissipated into the sky, and then they stood up with earthy faces, their faces full of fear for the rest of their lives.

"How are you doing?" Xiao Yang's lips had been bitten by himself.

Xiong Fuji nodded, but Shentu Miaoling, who had messy hair in the distance, shook his head, and the three teenagers reported their safety without saying anything, and looked at the surrounding battlefield together.

One by one, the companions sat up from the ground, raising their hands to declare their safety, but most of the body of the poisonous monster bird that had just opened its teeth and claws had turned into a black lump that emitted a scorched odor. Cheng Jing stood up with his spear and looked farther away, and the fan-shaped area swept by the pillar of light was dead silence at the moment.

Whether it's a hunter or a monster, none of them will survive anything that comes into contact with that orange fire.
