Chapter 707: Rare Species
With a miss, the blue tail lifted from the ground, and the tail tip shook gently. The hunters' gaze stretched into the distance, and at the end of the thick tail, the location of the monster's body was empty. The long blue tail blends in with the background color of the hunting ground, as if it were born out of thin air in the night.
This strange scene did not last long, and with a low roar, a slight rattle like flowing water sounded from the tip of the giant beast's tail, and the tiny scales on the long tail swayed slightly, rippling farther away in a circle. The sparkling waves slowly outlined the outline of a huge monster, and the hunter who had been hidden for a long time finally appeared in front of the hunters.
The first to appear were a pair of strong hind legs and two broad wings that were obliquely born. The flanks of the giant beast's wings flickered, and each of them had a sharp bone blade. The monster's body rests on the ground, and a pair of unusually developed wing claws and hind feet support the weight of the body. Rao is like this, and the height of the Wyvern species has exceeded five meters. Including the tail, which occupies one-third of its body length, this sneak attacker with a dark blue body is twenty meters long, to say the least.
The monster had its back to the hunters, its tail wagging defiantly in front of the eyes of the little hunters. The long neck turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and a disproportionately small head was turned towards the young people behind him.
"Hiss......" The moment he saw the face of the dragon, Jia Xiao, who was not far away, gasped. This comical head, which bears some resemblance to both a bat and a cat, does not evoke the slightest sense of humor from a great sword hunter at the moment. Feeling the beast's gaze pass over him and his teammates one by one, the young man only felt like he had been doused with a basin of cold and sticky mud on his head, and even his breathing seemed to stop for a moment.
"A subspecies of Swiftlosaurus...... No...... Is it rare? The female head of the group secretly said in her heart, "Hell...... What kind of hunting ground can cultivate such a difficult guy? β
With the help of the old hunter Orson, the battle with the Red Electric Dragon ended before the waterhole. However, the good times did not last long, and before the exploration team could contact the airship on standby in the rear, the ancient dragon battlefield was centered on the tower and quickly dispersed in all directions of the hunting ground. Braving the thunder, the hunters, of course, could not continue their movement in the wilderness, and had to take refuge in a tall relic building near the waterhole.
However, the hunting ground has always been a disaster, and it was not easy to hide until the front line of the dragon ring swept overhead, and what the young people were waiting for was not temporary stability, but a herd of high-level flying species that broke through the blockade of the electric field and rushed to the depths of the battlefield.
In a few minutes, countless flying monsters that the small hunting group had never seen before covered the sky of the entire hunting ground. Hundreds of pairs of eye-catching eyes observed the hunting ground beneath the clouds without any dead ends, sealing the last chance of escape for the exploration team. The hunters were being targeted by this evil star, and it was also at that time.
Xiong Fuji was on the ground, and when he got up, he held the spear and heavy shield in his hand. Beside the spearman, where the monster's tail swept through, a long mark was cut in the topsoil, and the broken bluestone was exposed, and the force of the blow penetrated into the earth several feet deep. Big Bear cautiously made a defensive stance, his eyes slightly glancing at the messy ground, and he lost some confidence in the heavy shield in his hand for no apparent reason.
"Do you want to die?" Seeing that Xiong Fuji was still safe and sound, Ao Sen, who was further away, couldn't help but scold, "It's okay now!" Now none of us can escape! β
"Sorry! I thought it was getting impatient! The pikeman shouted apologetically, his eyes staring motionlessly at the beast's movements. The scale armor of the Wyvern finally stopped shaking, the ripples on his body slowly dissipated, and his tracks finally became clear.
The scales on the behemoth's body have a special structure that cancels out the howling of the wind when moving and flying. Each piece of scale armor is as smooth as a mirror, and it can also adjust the angle of the roll according to the monster's will, reflecting the light around it. It was by this hand that the rare species hid themselves under the battlefield of the ancient dragon, which was like a dark night, and silently approached the unsuspecting little hunting group.
The Swift Dragons are experts at both stealth and hunting, and their silent actions and stealth abilities comparable to those of the Dragons are a great strength for this natural assassin. Recalling the scene when he first met, Jia Xiao subconsciously shuddered. If it weren't for the fact that a dragon man in the team issued a warning at a critical moment and forcibly resisted the monster's sneak attack, this exploration team would not even be able to escape the first round of attacks from the other party, and I am afraid that before they saw the monster itself, they would all return to the hunter ancestors.
"This guy has a 'Xun' character in his family name, even if we break our legs, we can't escape its pursuit!" Orson said angrily. The one-star hunter seemed to feel that the safe distance was still not enough, and dragged the sword in his hand back a few meters, taking shelter behind a low wall.
"Now is not the time to quarrelβ" The rare species of the Swift Dragon Clan has not gone far, and the Little Hunter Group has lost its last meaning if it continues to flee. The regimental commander shook the silver hammer in his hand and stood side by side with his teammates, "We need to find a way to repel it." β
"What are you going to do? It can't be stupid to be beaten by the red electric dragon, right? Seeing that everyone in the small hunting group formed a semicircle in front of the flying dragon species, and they all made a posture of battle, the one-star hunter in the distance lost his voice and said, "This guy's native species have the strength of three and a half stars, what do you think you are?" Five-star hunter? β
"I can't manage so much, it's not a way to keep running. Sooner or later, we'll have to knock it awayβ" Jia Xiao's back sank, dragging the weapon to his side. The Great Sword Hunter kept looking at the beast's regular weaknesses as he shouted at Orson from afar, "Senior, do you have any information about it?" β
"I'm not a Bestiary!" Orson shook his head vigorously, "'Rare species' means that no one has seen it, I don't even know its name, and it would be hellish if I had information!" β
After chasing a few small reptiles for more than ten kilometers, and finally seeing that the other party had the courage to stop and fight head-on, a humane and sarcastic smile appeared on the face of the flying dragon species. The red glint in the monster's eyes flickered, and the tail was raised high behind its back, and the bones on the tail stood upright, like a mace pointed at the young hunters.
"It's coming!" The female leader reminded, and rolled to the side while leaning down. The rare tail whip threw a loud sonic boom in the air, and the bone thorns were easily thrown off the tail. More than ten bone needles were like more than a dozen sharp arrows coming out of the string, shooting towards the small hunting group.
The bear monster screamed, the hunter's injuries had not healed, and it was inconvenient to dodge, so he simply shrank his whole body behind the tower shield. The stout hunter stared at it, only to feel a huge force burst out in front of the shield, and a tooth-aching drilling sound sounded in his ears. The bone arrow and the tower shield held each other for less than a breath, and the sound of friction was replaced by a crisp sound of cracking.
The heavy and sturdy tower shield was violently torn open a slender crack, and cone-shaped bone spurs pierced through the shield and appeared in the bear's field of vision. Under the twisting of the composite shield, the bone arrow probed a few inches behind the iron wall, and finally lost its strength and stopped. The glowing blue bone arrow stopped less than an inch in front of the tip of Xiong Fuji's nose, and sweat slid down the forehead of the two-star hunter and rolled down onto the edge of the arrow.
The remaining three also dodged the direct hit of the bone spur at the moment when they could not be fired. Lu Xiu's red pupils were fully activated, and the slashing axe danced into a silver light in front of him, knocking a bone arrow that was shot close to him far away. The sharp bone thorns swirled out and landed not far from where Orsen was hiding. The arrow thrust into the ground with a snort, only to see a white foam on the dirt, and the blades of grass around it withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Be careful! These bone fragments are poisonous! Seeing this, the one-star hunter reminded loudly.
"Does it matter?" Xiong Fuji showed the heavy shield that had been pierced by a blow in his hand to Aosen Dao in the distance. The monster's random blow has such power, regardless of whether the attack is poisonous or not, the hunter who is hit head-on is a dead end, "You might as well say something more useful!" If you don't know this rare species, what about the native species? How much do you know about the native species of Swiftlosaurus? β
"At least so much that I won't provoke them!" Orson tucked his body behind a low wall, leaving only his helmet and two eyes exposed, "These guys can attack with all their bodies, and the tail and the pair of blades are even stronger. Without the assistance of airships, if you want to fight them, you have to be at least three stars, and you have to have a full team of hunters! β
After dodging, the hunters stabilized their bodies, but they lost the shadow of the rare species of Swift Dragons in front of them. The indiscriminate attack of the bone spur is nothing more than a smoke bomb released by a high-level monster to a hunter. Taking advantage of the brief chaos of the battlefield situation, a murmuring sound like water sounded in the clearing, and the monster once again hid in the night sky with the convenience of scale armor.
"Let's see where you can hide this time!" The trace of the prey that was suddenly lost, but Jia Xiao's face was happy, he twisted the red dust on his hand, waved his hand in the direction of the head of the regiment and said, "Cat, I'm sorry for you!" βγ
"Well done!" Qin Shui praised that the dyed bullet of the Great Sword Hunter was thrown at the right time, just at the last moment before the monster's figure disappeared. The young hunters were gathered back to back, four pairs of eyes on alert in four directions. Little Eru stood on her master's shoulder with her ears bent, her pupils open to the widest, and the tip of her nose kept sniffing.
"How?" After a moment of silence, the female head of the group asked softly.
"I can't do it." The cat's body softened, and she shook her head solemnly, "There are no traces of dyeing powder anywhere, and the smell is ...... Instead, it's all over the place. β
"It's still the weird ...... of the scale armor" The scale armor of the flying species was smooth, and the dyed powder had nowhere to rely on, but was evenly spread throughout the battlefield by the fast-moving monsters. The female hammerman's cheeks puffed out, and she didn't forget to soothe the entourage on her shoulder and said, "It's okay, you've done your best." β
The more silent the battlefield was, the more the tension lingered in everyone's hearts. The Great Sword Hunter raised his weapon alof, spat fiercely, and asked Orson irritably, "Doesn't the Swift Dragon Clan have any weaknesses?" β
"The bone blades on the wings of the swiftloons are too heavy, and they have never been able to sustain their flight for long periods of time." The one-star hunter replied, "And ...... Their heads are slightly softer than those of the average upper-level wyvern. β
"Isn't there anything we can take advantage of?" Xiong Fuji slowly swiped the head of the spear in mid-air at 90 degrees in front of him, "If we can easily touch its head, we don't need to ask you!" β
"Upper!" The conventional detection methods failed one by one, and the small hunting group was left with only Lu Xiu, who relied on the law of rank to judge the enemy. The dragonman's heartstrings tightened, and as soon as Fang sensed the killing intent of the stalker, he couldn't wait to shout.
The faint blue cold light flashed out of the hunters' heads like a beautiful crescent moon, and the monster's giant wings were like an extraordinarily huge sword, carrying the weight of the night hunter's body, and pressed down fiercely on the four members of the small hunting group. After suffering a blow from Fang Cai's bone arrow, Xiong Fuji no longer dared to hold on to the defense, and the strong hunter dragged his tired body and rolled diagonally and slowly, and actually rolled out several meters smoothly. The sword fell behind the spearman with its back against it, and with it the strong wind pressure from the wings of the dragon species, Xiong Fuji was blown around by the strong wind several times before he was stopped by a bluestone five meters away.
The monsters are evenly distributed throughout the battlefield. The female hammerman's cheeks puffed out, and she didn't forget to soothe the entourage on her shoulder and said, "It's okay, you've done your best." β
