Chapter 72: Swift Dragon (3000)
If we want to know what's going on in the bootcamp, we'll have to move the timeline forward to a few hours in advance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The abrupt and strange dragon roar had not yet resounded throughout the valley, and Shentu Miaoling had not yet sensed the true intentions of the two teenagers.
In this training camp, everyone has their own unique and tragic story, but if there is anyone who is the most special, then Shentu Miaoling is undoubtedly in the first place.
This is special not just because she is the only girl in the group, but because she was only "temporarily" exiled here.
"Temporarily" would mean that she would be released early, given the status of a real hunter, or at least a civilian citizen. But this gift is not free, and she will use her strength in the camp to fight for this precious opportunity for release.
Therefore, it can be said that the whole team is a competitor and enemy of the girl, and Shentu Miaoling has a deeper defense against her teammates than others, which is why she believes in Little Orion's words without much entanglement.
The slight affection she had for Nie Xiaoyang during the short break at noon did not stop her from speculating about her companion with the greatest hostility. If she knew that her distrust saved her, I don't know what she would think.
Still, the girl dutifully fulfilled her task, zigzagging through the woods, sprinkling dyed jade powder with a strong smell and color along the way, and running towards the camp as the dust had been sealed.
Along the way, she crossed the territory of two small monster races, although the puppy dragon and the others were not strong, but the girl was also afraid of being surrounded by many monsters, and her arrows were limited, so she could not waste them on these miscellaneous fish. It was because she walked very carefully and tried to avoid any pointless fights.
"Strange, why didn't the female fire dragon catch up?" After quietly bringing down the two wandering dog dragons, the girl muttered to herself.
The dyed jade did not fail, and even the human nose could smell the strong pungent smell. Even if she was twenty minutes behind with the strength of the female fire dragon's feet, she should have caught up at this moment.
She continued to flee in the direction of the camp with her vigilance, thinking about how to get out of the monster after it.
Twenty minutes later, she heard the clear roar of the dragon, like everyone else in the valley.
Shentu Miaoling's keen sixth sense made her stop and paced back and forth in place a few times. The girl who calmed down figured out the joints with a little brain.
"Is it because both of them are so stupid?" She laughed self-deprecatingly, the teenagers should have already fought the fire dragon at this time, maybe the battlefield had been shifted, and it was useless for her to turn back at the moment, "It seems that I am not smart either." ”
She thought about it for a while, so she could only throw away the dyed jade in her hand, and reluctantly followed the meaning of the dust boy and ran all the way back to the camp.
…………
"Do we really need to do that?" Xiong Fuji whispered.
At this time, the costumes of the two looked extremely comical, they plucked out the soft branches of a tree, wrapped the branches tightly around their bodies, and even wore a rattan ring on their heads, looking like two full-fledged tree men from a distance, and like two vertical bark dragons standing on two feet.
Xiong Fuji was larger, and the branches didn't fit around his waist at all, and the leaves protruded from all parts of his body, making it difficult for him to lie in the grass in a fixed position.
"Of course." Jia Xiao said mysteriously, "That monster moves very quickly and attacks very sharply, we only have one chance to attack." ”
"What if the monster locks onto its prey by heat or smell?" Xiong Fuji asked, "Isn't it in vain for us to disguise like this?" ”
"Be prepared." The tomboy looked up at the sun, "It's going to get dark soon, and then it's time for danger." ”
As soon as the words fell, a rustling sound sounded in the grass in the distance.
Without thinking about it, Xiong Fuji had already relied on his superior arm strength to throw a flash jade into the direction of the grass.
Dealing with the attack is fake, and if you want to meet the monster quickly, tearing off these obstructive disguises on your body is what Big Bear wants to do most now.
A violent flash of light pierced the sky, and the two teenagers opened their eyes, only to find that a manly figure staggered over.
"What are you doing?" The iceberg beauty couldn't hide her anger.
…………
"The last signal from the exploration team is still far away," Xiong Fuji scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "I thought you would come back very late." ”
"We met the fire dragon, got separated from those two idiots, and came back first." Shentu Miaoling covered her eyes, and the flash jade that caught her off guard just now made her still dizzy.
"Where's the female fire dragon?"
"Is there anything wrong with them?"
The two teenagers' concerns were not in the same place, and the girl organized the language: "It was Feng Dust who asked me to come back, the tall stupid guy was a little injured when I left, but as long as I can come back before dark, it should be fine." She unconsciously remembered the scene in the cave where Nie Xiaoyang blocked the fireball for herself, and thought of the two of them teaming up to trick herself back to the camp, and the girl's heart couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Since it was their idea, I guess those two people must have at least a way to get back safely." Jia Xiao nodded and didn't comment further, "Have you found any traces of colored birds?" ”
The girl gave a brief report to the camp team on the results of the expedition today, and told them the approximate location of the trap.
"I see, just wait for the rest of the time." Xiong Fuji nodded approvingly, convinced by the assignment of the team members, if he participated in the exploration, he might simply find a high place, and at the same time observe the location of the nest of the colored birds, and usher in the pursuit of endless flying dragon species.
"So, why did you make yourself like this?" The feeling of vertigo passed, and the girl had the opportunity to take a closer look at the two strangely dressed companions.
"We ...... Powerful monsters were also encountered. Jia Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "If it weren't for you coming back, we would have planned to fight it hard." ”
"What kind of monster?" Shentu Miaoling was also vigilant, and her eyes observed around the camp.
The fragmented information from the two of them seemed to touch some kind of memory of Shentu Miaoling, she looked at the slender bone spur in her hand, and frowned slightly: "I recognize this thing, you are being targeted by Xunlong." ”
"It's a very strong monster." Xiong Fuji's eyes lit up.
"How so...... You're lucky to be alive now. The girl spread her hands and walked towards the camp, "Go and get ready, if the monster does come back, we will have a fierce battle in the evening." ”
…………
"I don't believe her." Xiong Fuji restrained his smile and looked at Shentu Miaoling, who was debugging the bow and arrow not far away.
"I thought that in the entire training camp, your least favorite was Nie Xiaoyang." Jia Xiao replied.
"That's different." Big Bear shook his head, "I'm just upset with that kid's stinky face." But she always gave me a feeling that I couldn't trust. ”
The three of them set off to explore together, and in the end, only one person returned, although her intelligence seemed to be impeccable, but when she saw the girl's cold appearance that had not changed for ten thousand years, Xiong Fuji felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he is a child of a family, and no matter how careless he is, he is more vigilant than ordinary people.
"In the absence of other information, we can only choose to believe her, right?" Tomboys aren't unsuspecting of girls either.
Shentu Miaoling in the distance didn't hear this brief conversation, she poured the filling liquid into the strange bottle on the arrow platform of the steel bow, took the arrow, and shot it into the distance.
As the arrow swept over the mouth of the bottle, the liquid in the bottle was evenly smeared on the body of the arrow. The liquid was soaked in the powder of nitrified mushrooms, and as the arrows rubbed against the air at high speed, the nitride was quickly ignited, and the entire arrow turned red.
The flaming arrow flew out at half a speed faster than usual, and plunged into the ground more than a hundred yards away. The front third of the arrow is below the ground.
"Uh...... At least she has what it takes to help us in battle. Jia Xiao, who has good eyesight, keenly felt the extraordinaryness of this arrow.
"Has the flight speed and penetration been enhanced?" The girl whispered that during the exploration, she had always wanted to test the power of the so-called "Strike Bottle" brought by the instructor, but she did not have a chance to open the bow when facing the female fire dragon, let alone carry out this series of tedious preparations.
The liquid made from the simple processing of nitrated mushrooms is stored in small bottles, which are manually pressed into the filling bottle of the bow during the battle, which takes six to eight seconds, and the filled liquid can only be coated with ten arrows. Such weapons can only be used as precision attacks, and cannot be consumed in protracted warfare.
"It's just the effect of that strange bow." Xiong Fuji scoffed, and he believed in using his own strength to fight.
"Weapons are also part of strength." Hearing the bear's words, the girl approached the two and said with some stubbornness, "That Ailu said so, is there anything wrong?" ”
No one answered her words, Jia Xiao asked instead, "You are the only one here who understands the habits of the Swift Dragon, you already have a plan to deal with it, right?" ”
"The color and habits of the Swift Dragon determine that it is suitable for nocturnal activities, and if it does come back, we will inevitably have to fight a night fight." The girl also quickly returned to a calm and professional posture.
Night combat is too much of a disadvantage for hunters, and a careless trio of them may be killed in seconds the moment they meet the monster. Placing torches in the camp is a foolish and dangerous act, as the light of the fire will not only anger the monsters, but will also cause the entire camp to be knocked down in battle.
"We're going to bring it to the camp." Jia Xiao said, "I've seen it move, the Swift Dragon has incomparable speed in the wild, and we can't restrain it at all on the outskirts of the camp, not to mention that guy has the ability to attack from a distance." ”
"We need someone who can limit its movement in a head-on confrontation." Shentu Miaoling's eyes looked at Xiong Fuji intentionally or unintentionally, "Then it's up to me to find its weakness and fight for a one-hit kill." ”
"I like this." Big Bear looked expectant.
