Chapter 25: Horror

"Don't look at this airship so small, but it's a real battleship, with six guns on each side of the two sides, and the power within five hundred meters is comparable to the breath of a wyvern. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe arrows of the main crossbow are made of the same material as the dragon shotgun. The young hunter Cheng Jing shook the bodies of the two teenagers, as if to comfort them, and as if to cheer himself up, "This Arclight has killed seventeen dragons and dragons, and has repelled countless others, don't worry, we are not in danger." ”

The two teenagers were still looking around nervously, and in the blue sky on all sides, it seemed that an unknown giant flying dragon could rush out at any moment. Feng Chen was mentally prepared to face dragons, but he didn't expect this kind of face to come so soon.

The non-combatants on the airship were ordered to come to the deck, and a few handymen who had been with the ship for many years wandered around the deck carelessly, chatting and laughing, probably having experienced too many such scenes. In Harder's words, once an airship is shot down, the deck is the fastest place to jump ship. This explanation did not have any comforting effect, and it was almost the same as intimidation, and the hands of the two children were shaking to varying degrees when they received the disposable skydiving backpacks.

"Are you sure it's not an ordinary giant bird or some other species?" Next to the observatory, Maureen asked the hunter beside him.

"Probably not, ordinary bird dragon species generally do not have the ability to fly above two thousand meters in the air, our current altitude is about three thousand five hundred meters, and the flight altitude of the monster is still above us." The observer affirmed.

"How far are we from us?" Morin's face sank like water.

…………

"There it is!" The sharp-eyed Seal finally found the trace of the wyvern, and the monster was far behind them, slightly higher than where they were, and it looked like a small crimson speck.

Following the position pointed by Feng Chen, everyone raised their eyes to see that Harder's complexion changed slightly: "It's a fire dragon, a male fire dragon." ”

It is not without reason that the dragon is called the king of the sky, with its wide wings, streamlined body, poisonous claws, keen eyesight, and powerful breath of flame, all of which evolved for the purpose of dangerous air combat. If he was on the ground, there might be a lot of dragons who could defeat him, but once he was in the sky, he could defeat monsters several times stronger than him with his home field advantage.

"If it's it, it's dangerous." Cheng Jing muttered.

"What's wrong? Is this fire dragon difficult to deal with? Seeing that the two professional hunters around him had changed color, Feng Chen also asked anxiously.

"This is the last monster a hunter wants to encounter in an air battle." Harder shook his head, his face a little ugly. His injuries weren't entirely healed, and maneuvering airships wasn't his forte, leaving him on deck to care for his two children and other non-combatants.

"What, isn't it small?" Feng Chen stared at the red dot in the distance carefully for a few seconds and said.

"Fire dragons are generally more than fifteen meters long, and the largest can be twenty-five meters." Cheng Jing explained, "It doesn't have to do anything, just fly a few hundred meters above us, and then dive down, and the skylight will open on the air compartment of this airship." ”

The length of the airship is less than a hundred meters, and the air chamber hangs overhead, although it is larger, but it is also very large, and such a volume, even if it is hit by a fifteen-meter-long stone, it will be irreparably damaged, let alone a fire dragon that is walking on the ground in the air.

Hard, however, was worried about something else, and he pointed to the merchant ship not far behind him: "If the fire dragon comes to attack us, there are weapons on the warship that can force the monster back, but if it attacks the merchant ship." The hunter frowned, "We can't shoot at merchant ships, can we?" ”

The merchant's civilian airship did not have much self-defense ability, and Harder had ridden on their ship, and knew that there were only two small-caliber guns on it, which were used to fire rounds to scare the birds, and it was undoubtedly a little stretched in the face of the male fire dragon.

"What if he's just passing by and doesn't want to attack us?" Lu Xiu asked with a fluke mentality.

"You're late, it's already flying!" Feng Chen exclaimed.

Without facing the approaching male fire dragon, it is hard to imagine how amazing his speed in the air is. Just a small red dot smaller than a fingernail a few seconds ago, it quickly magnified in the eyes of everyone after a few flaps of its wings.

The first thing that can be clearly seen is the huge open fleshy wings, the red wing bones are connected with a slightly whitish wing membrane, followed by the long tough tail that constantly swings and adjusts its direction. Closer, even the head wrapped in hideous scales and the blue eyes could be seen clearly.

The male dragon rushed diagonally to a position less than a hundred meters away from the airship with a whistling sound, where it suddenly stopped, its horizontally elongated body standing up lightly, its tail drooping, its claws tucked under its abdomen, and it was controlled by the rhythmic flapping of its wings without falling.

The monster that was chasing after him didn't take the lead in attacking the battleship, he was watching the two airships.

Dragons with higher ecological niches are generally very intelligent, and they can sense that there is something in the flying object that can threaten them. The Arclight's cannon bay had been opened, and the main crossbow had been calibrated, at a distance where the man-made craft could not surpass the Sky King in speed and dexterity, and the hunters had to seize the opportunity to force the dragon back with their weapons before it could attack.

The two boats and a dragon confronted each other so closely that there was a suffocating aura on the deck. Even the tried and tested old boatman held his breath at this time, not daring to make too much noise.

The dragon's massive body undulated outside the ship, as if the next flap of its wings would be the time for the monster to rush aboard the ship in desperation. Feng Chen felt that his heart was beating fast, and the powerful sense of oppression brought by the monster and the threat of death had suppressed him.

Harder silently grabbed the switch of the disposable umbrella bags on the two children's waists, and he planned to make sure that the two teenagers did not forget to open the parachute because they were stupid if the battleship was not secured.

The confrontation continued, and every second seemed to be dragged out tenfold. A small stream of flame had already brewed between the teeth of the male fire dragon, almost ready to erupt. But the monster still didn't choose to attack, he seemed to be thinking about something, as if he was afraid of something, just flapping his wings meaninglessly, hanging in place.

But the airship could not stand in the air, it kept moving slowly but surely. After a panicked shout, the merchant ships in the rear suddenly quieted down and silently followed the arc light.

"It's not going to hit us?" Feng Chen didn't dare to turn his head, and only turned his eyes to Lu Xiu at his side and asked.

"Shhhh The big man didn't dare to say anything.

The two airships silently sailed away in front of it as if they were being inspected by the King of the Sky, and the distance between them gradually widened from one hundred meters to two hundred meters and five hundred meters. The muzzles of the heavy guns and the main battle crossbow constantly adjusted their direction slightly, always pointing towards the male fire dragon hanging in place, and the monster's eyes were constantly fixed on the two slow-flying airships.

After about eight hundred meters away, the fire dragon slowly became smaller in his field of vision, he seemed to have lost interest in the airship, adjusted his posture in the air, and finally glanced at the people who were getting farther away, and flapped his wings in another direction.

…………

"Master Mo, it's gone."

"I see it." Morin nodded slightly, he wanted to stretch out his finger to tap something, but found that his palms were already soaked for some time.

"My lord, do you want to write an observation report to the union?" The observer cautiously asked, "It's a big deal that a high-ranking wyvern species appears on this route." ”

Morin waved his hand: "No, make an observation and entrust it to the union, and let the people in the observation department have a headache about this matter." ”

When the situation settled down, the chief deacon said a few more words, and then turned to his study. Where no one could see it, he reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead inside the helmet.
