Chapter 380: The Dragon's Tragedy in the Illusion (Part II)
In this world, dragons have always been synonymous with power. At this time, under the arrangement and design of these weak soldiers, an adult dragon is about to fall and rest here, how can this not make the soldiers involved in the dragon slaying excited?
Under the command of Zhou Xuan, the crossbowmen scatter freely in one round. These arrows, polished with poison and reflecting a faint green light, had unknowingly taken away a few young dragons. In addition to the fact that most of the credit goes to the crossbowmen, it also depends on the cooperation of the priests.
With the support of their light magic, the young dragons were in a panic for a while, and they came out from behind the dragons, giving the arrows they shot a chance to hit.
The tragic roar of the young dragons made the dragons who had been trapped in the net for a long time even more irritable. Catalyzed by this frustration, the dragon trapped in the net kept waving its front paws. When it grabbed a blind, headless fly-like young dragon, it didn't think about grabbing it and throwing it down.
The hapless young dragon, with a terrified hiss, crashed into the crossbowman's position like a cannonball.
Because the young dragon fell too fast, the two crossbowmen did not have time to dodge, and one was killed and one was injured on the spot.
The soldiers, who had been overjoyed and excited by the dragon slaying, felt as if they had been poured a basin of ice water over their heads, and only then did they realize that even if it was a wounded dragon, its casualness and might have killed them.
This negative emotion did not spread to the entire team like a virus, but came and went quickly. This is not to say how good their psychological quality is, but Zhou Zhenshu's deliberate position allows them to see him for the first time. The courage of the soldiers, this sentence is not wrong at all. Zhou Zhan, who had planned and commanded properly, left a deep impression on this group of soldiers.
Seeing that Zhou's injuries were not affected, he still calmly asked the engineers to aim at the giant dragon and organized the crossbowmen to carry out the next round of fire. The soldiers, affected by the death of their companions, gradually calmed down and refocused their minds on fighting the dragons.
They didn't know that in addition to being affected by Zhou's death, they were also thanks to Sophie's magical healing and spiritual calming.
"Whoosh~"
This rapid sound of breaking through the air is the ejection sound made by the crossbow locomotive when it is launched. This time, the engineer did not choose to target the dragon's throat and heart, but chose the abdomen that was the easiest to hit.
The dragon was constantly breaking free from its net, its swaying head and swinging front paws were too easy for the crossbow bolt to miss. Only its abdomen is the easiest to hit, and there is no protective body tissue.
"Poof~"
The bolt ejected from the ballista managed to sink into the dragon's belly, and the poisoned bolt didn't make the dragon wail at all. On the contrary, because of the paralyzing effect of the toxin, the dragon did not feel much pain except for feeling a little awkward in the abdomen.
The contribution of this blow did not make Zhou Xuan very happy. On the contrary, the penetration of the crossbow arrow was too poor, which made Zhou Xuan a little dissatisfied. It doesn't inflict massive trauma, and it doesn't allow the arrows fired by the crossbowman to deal effective damage to the dragon.
Fortunately, the crossbow arrows equipped on the ballista were also quenched with great poison. After a while, Zhou Xuanshu believed that the dragon would die of poison.
The dragons felt no pain, but the creatures were sensitive to impending death. The dragon, who felt that his time was short, tried all his strength to send out a 'death message'.
The earth-shattering roar, which drained most of the dragon's strength, resounded not only through the valley. Moreover, under the influence of the sound waves, the cracks where it was injured and the mountain continued to shake, and the scattered rocks and dust drenched the soldiers hiding in it.
The crossbowmen listened and aimed at the remaining young dragons to shoot. Be sure to leave all of these young dragons behind! ”
From the moment the dragon sent out the 'death message', Zhou knew that in other places, the free and capable dragon was about to arrive. However, he did not inform the soldiers. Because as long as it is bad, there is no good in publication.
Moreover, Zhou Zhishu vaguely felt that as long as this poisoned dragon died, they could get rid of this illusion.
During this time, Zhou's thinking was very clear. He could even clearly know that no matter how much they tossed in this illusion, the first time they would definitely encounter a young dragon attack, and the second time it would definitely be a combination of a giant dragon, five flying dragons, and ten young dragons.
Because after his calculations, this team could barely pass the young dragon without their intervention. The second dragon attack, the historical squad is bound to be doomed.
After all, the entire illusion came from the memories of these resentful masters before their deaths, so the chance of other dragons coming to their aid was close to zero. Unless there is a sapient ghost in this group of soldiers who have long since turned to ashes, there will be no other dragons at all.
"Roar~Roar~Roar~"
As soon as Zhou Xuan's injury was decided, the roars of several giant dragons were heard in the distant sky. The slap in the face was too fast, and as soon as he made his judgment, he heard the dragon's roar. However, after a while, Zhou saw the strangeness at this time.
It stands to reason that the dragon's roar was very close, but he hadn't seen any of the dragons in the distance. This phenomenon all shows that his previous judgment was correct, and that there really is only a fixed number of dragons in this illusion. Everything else is background information, you know they exist, but they never appear in front of your eyes.
After Zhou Zhensheng thought of the essence of this 'Bing Ge Dao' illusion, he suddenly felt that the world was spinning in front of him, and the scene in front of him returned to the appearance of the Burial Dragon Valley.
"This is coming out? That dragon just died, right? Why is this coming out? ”
Alan was incredulous about the sudden appearance. Sophie, who was also very surprised and magical, just covered her mouth and didn't say anything.
"yes, that's it."
After a little sigh, Zhou told the two of them his guess.
"I see, what is not in their memory does not appear in a vacuum. How did you come up with this, my lord? ”
In response to Allen's question, Zhou shook his head with a smile. To be honest, he didn't know how he suddenly thought of this, it was just a flash of inspiration. It all came to his mind.
"I didn't even know about it, I just thought of it out of the blue. I don't think we're concerned about this now, but the undead who are getting closer and closer to the tunnel battlefield. ”
Zhou Zhenshu didn't dwell on the illusion he experienced, he clearly understood what they should do now.
