Chapter 708 - Provoke It
"Isn't this guy angry now?" Xiong Fuji exclaimed in a trembling voice, "Then why did it chase us for so long?" β
"It's a natural hunter, and when it sees a prey weaker than itself, it just wants to play tricks on you, otherwise, we won't even have a chance to escape from the pond just now!" Orson blushed behind the low wall.
"Listen, we don't want to suspect your intentions at a time like this!" Jia Xiao's eyes widened, as if by doing so, he could dig out the figure of the flying dragon species from the night, "But let's do this, you have to have a reason!" β
"Of course I have!" The dwarf hunter in the distance asked rhetorically, "Do you know why the Swift Dragon Clan has the nickname 'Red Meteor'?" β
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"Hurry up and explain!" The four members of the small hunting group said in unison.
"Alright! All right! Damn it...... When angry, the dragon's eyes and ears will be bloodshot and red, and it doesn't have those strange scales on its eyes, and as long as it's still in a state of rage, you won't miss it. Orson explained wryly. This rare species still has a lot of the physical characteristics of the native species, and the moment the monster's eyes turned red just happened to be captured by a one-star hunter, it made him affirm his bold idea.
The young hunters looked at each other and nodded in disagreement. The little regiment leader carried the hammer diagonally behind his waist to gather enough strength, and said in a low voice: "It seems that this is the only way. This guy can't attack and hide at the same time, and he will definitely show up again next time. We'll wait until then......"
Before the huntress could finish her order, the hidden beast couldn't bear it. The rare species retreated into the air dozens of meters away, and from there, they spread their wings and swooped towards the vigilant hunters. As the monster approached rapidly, the swift dragon also let go of the control of the scale armor around its body, and the surface of its body rippled like a lake, revealing the dark blue scale armor all over its body.
"Get out of the way!" The little head of the swift dragon quickly enlarged in front of Jia Xiao, and the monster's gliding speed was amazingly fast, even if it was not hidden, the hunter's naked eye could only catch a vague trajectory with difficulty, like a meteor dragging a long tail.
When he found that he had become the target of the flying dragon species, the giant beast was already too close to Jia Xiao, and the big sword hunter had no time to dodge, so he had to hurriedly hold the sword spine in front of him. The young hunter's body leaned to one side, brushing past the rare species of swiftlox that was attacking fiercely. The spine of the heavy sword collided with the blade of the swift dragon, and the sharp bone blades exchanged a long series of sparks on the weapon. Jia Xiao's eyes were illuminated by the firelight, and he only felt that the monsters passing in front of him had become clearer than everβthe eyes of the yin owl, the fine scales covered by the wing claws, and even the fine pink fluff in his ears were faintly visible.
The concentration brought by the life-and-death situation was far greater than usual, but it only existed for a short moment. The slow-motion vision of the great sword hunter lasted for a moment, and was knocked back to its original form by a huge force from the weapon, Jia Xiao screamed in pain, and was shocked by the wyvern's slash and flew upside down, stumbling and rolling a few times, and his back hit a raised bluestone.
His own resistance did not reduce the speed of the monster by half a point, and the rare footsteps after landing did not stop, and the two thick hind legs bent and kicked, and jumped nearly twenty meters in one step. The giant beast changed direction slightly in the air, and withdrew its strength with the old wings to the side of its body, and the blade wings on the other side slashed towards the direction of the little group leader like the scythe of death, and the blade light instantly enveloped the area several meters in front of the hunter.
Qin Shuiyu straightened his body without hesitation and lay straight on his back. Even though she knew it was of little use, the huntress still held the hammer handle to the vital point in front of her. Sharp bone blades skimmed dangerously against the hunter's chest, wing claws and scales rubbing against the front of the suit. The back of the little leader's head smashed a round hole in the dirt with a "bang", and he was dizzy for a while.
"Captain!" Lu Xiu in the distance was shocked. The girl was originally trying to avoid the attack, but she gave up her whole body to the side of the Wyvern. Right now, the little head is buried under the flesh wings of the monster on one side, and he can't see the situation inside from the direction of the dragonman.
"Buzz ββ!"
A high-pitched humming sound exploded a few meters behind the monster's head at the right time, and the sonic boom sent countless ring-shaped waves of air through the air. Waves of sound swept over the disproportionately small head of the Swiftloon Rare. The monster's ears shook slightly, and its two winged claws suddenly lifted without warning, and the back of its head was like an invisible hammer blow, and its body staggered forward.
Taking advantage of the blue beast's brief stiffness, the female leader rolled out from under the monster's wing claws. Jia Xiao gasped in the distance, the young man's body was not strong, he had just undergone a round of attacks, and throwing hunting props was already a big load for him.
The wyvern species was filled with loud noises that filled their eardrums, as if they had temporarily lost their mobility. The monster's long neck drooped, its limbs clung to the ground as if it were afraid of falling, and its breath suddenly withered.
"Sonic boom?" Xiong Fuji asked incredulously. The Pikeman never imagined that the most ordinary hunting prop could face such a high-level monster and the effect would be so immediate.
"Try your luck, this guy is a good hunter after all, and his hearing is not too bad." Even on the small head of the Swiftloon, the ears occupy a considerable position, and it is impossible to use them just for decoration. The corners of the Great Sword Hunter's mouth raised slightly, but the next moment he exclaimed, "Wait! Luciu, don't go over! β
Jia Xiao's reminder was still a step late, and almost at the moment when the head of the regiment pulled away, the dragon man roared and attacked the dizzy monster. The brief pause caused by the sonic boom gave the Hunters their first chance to strike back since the battle began, and the Chosen Hunters certainly wouldn't turn a blind eye to this.
The transformer axe in the hunter's hand had long since turned into the form of a heavy sword, and streams of steam leaked out of the mechanical parts, and the blade of the sword turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, reflecting Lu Xiu's equally red eyes. The bloodline of the dragonmen is constantly boiling, and the gap between each step of the young hunter is getting bigger and bigger. The blade of the axe glowed with a crimson halo, and slashed horizontally at the unguarded back of the wyvern.
Just when the blade was only half a meter away from the scale armor of the Swift Dragon, the monster's body suddenly stopped shaking. Rarely, with the force of his upper body, one wing claw broke through the ground and embedded deep in the earth. The Wyvern's hind feet stepped to the side, and with the wing claw as an anchor point, the huge body turned into a chain hammer, and spun sideways on the ground with a roar.
"Oops!" Before the slash could fall, it was smashed away by the sparse and powerful body of the Swift Dragon. Without warning, the turning attack enveloped the monster in a range of more than twenty meters. Lu Xiu was in the violent wheel, and involuntarily flew backwards diagonally, but he only heard the sound of a tiger behind him, and the thick tail of the dragon was rolling backwards towards him.
Although he had been reminded by Orson that the tail of the Swift Dragons was one of the hardest parts of their bodies, the Dragonmen had little choice when they were caught in the attack of the beasts. The eyes of the chosen hunter almost turned purple, and he steadied his body in the middle of a moment, gritting his teeth, and the blade of his sword fought resignedly towards the blue-glowing Tough Tail.
"Poof!"
The heavy blow did not come as expected, and the moment it came into contact with the blade, the monster's outer tail armor dissolved on its own like lard under a hot knife. The red-hot sword sliced several inches deep before being stopped by a bony spine that had never grown out of its body. Like a frightened water snake, the long tail slid over the blade of the sword in a panic, and was guided to a higher place by the spine of the sword, without causing any damage to Lu Xiu after slashing the axe.
"Come over here!" Xiong Fuji waved his tower shield and covered the dragonman who was still in doubt, "Hell! The dizziness just now...... Is it all pretended? β
"At least half of it was to seduce us." The little head said with a solemn face. The toughest monsters in the hunter world aren't the ones who are physically fit or have strange talents, but the ones who are intellectually superior. At the moment, the wisdom of the rare species of Swiftloon is obviously beyond the average level, and it may be difficult to use the sonic boom bomb a second time.
"This guy's tail doesn't seem to be as hard as Orson said." The Chosen Hunter unconsciously weighed the steaming chopper axe in his hand, recalling the touch of the blow just now, and said, "Find a way to cut off its tail, and it might let us go." β
"Compared to this, I don't know if it's good news-" Jia Xiao suddenly raised his voice, "This guy seems to have finally been provoked by us!" β
"Whew!"
The battle had continued from the pond of the Red Dragon's hatred to the present, and for the first time, the blue-clad hunter let out a roar of battle. The monster's two winged claws rested diagonally on the ground, its slender neck tilted into the air, and the sand and gravel beneath its feet jumped abruptly with a roar. It was hard to imagine that the monster in front of him could use such a small throat to make a terrifying cry like a tiger and a leopard.
When he lowered his head again, the flying species' eyes had completely turned into two specks of fluorescent light, and the scales and bone thorns behind the monster's tail stood upright, and the place where Lu Xiu had cut was gurgling blood. There was a ripple of water on the body of the rare species, and the body was once again hidden in the dark night. However, the monster's hideous eyes are like fireflies in the night, faithfully indicating the direction of the lurker's current position.
"I told you you you was right!" Orson in the distance shouted, "Keep stimulating it, don't let this guy calm down!" β
Finally got the way to see the monster clearly, and the people of the Little Hunting Group realized how seriously they had underestimated its ability before. Fang Yi hid his body, and the flying species surrounded the small hunting group irregularly. The two red glows on the eyes of the giant beast were really like two meteors flying side by side, and the tail was dragged into two long afterimages in the eyes of the hunters, and everyone had to look at it intently so as not to miss the trajectory of the high-level beast.
"We want to too!" Xiong Fuji kept adjusting the angle of the tower shield in front of him, "This guy didn't give us any chance!" β
It stopped...... Be careful! Another cluster of bone arrows shot out of the void, but this time the people of the Little Hunting Group finally had a chance to react. The young men scattered and rolled in all directions, their arms-thick bone thorns sticking to the hunters' heels and sneering into the dirt, and the poison spilled outward, eroding the blades of grass around them until they turned yellow and withered.
"It's getting stronger in numbers and more powerful...... Sure enough, this is what Xunlong looks like after he is serious. The Chosen Hunter glanced at the arrow marks on the ground with his peripheral vision. The new round of ranged attacks was extremely heavy, most of the bone arrows were submerged in the dirt, and only a very small part was still exposed.
After a round of attacks, the Swiftloon Rare Species returned to a state of high-speed movement. The young people only felt dizzy, and it took a lot of energy just to keep up with their eyes, not to mention the bone thorns that shot out of the darkness from time to time. Jia Xiao pinched his temples vigorously and forced himself to cheer up: "No, can you stop its round of bone arrows?" β
"No! My tower shield isn't that strong! The stout hunter waved his hand repeatedly. The young hunter talks about his proud defenses, which are like papier-mΓ’chΓ© in front of monsters that are several orders higher. Before the Wyvern got angry, he was pierced through the shield by the same move, and after he got angry, he was afraid that he would be hit down, and even his own body would be pierced, "Anyway, why is he the only one who can hide from a distance this time?" β
