Chapter Twenty-Seven: Suffering from the Pond Fish

"Not really! That little dragon didn't even have a grasp of the ferocity! Looking at the two rangers who had fallen off their horses in front of him, Klaimatis pressed his finger to his lips with a little surprise. But at this moment, stones fell from the sky and tumbled towards the dense crowd. Causing players to scatter and dodge.

'Sonorous! 'After a soft grinding sound comparable to a fingernail scraping a blackboard. The durian-sized stone with a pitted surface was accompanied by a crescent-like cold light, which was picked by the broken peak in Barrett's hand. Then it landed in the middle of the wasteland not far away. Immediately afterwards, Barrett's horse under the crotch also lost its front hoof under the sudden weight of his back—he fell to the ground by pounceing directly forward.

Barrett, who was then thrown off his horse, rolled over, puffed his chest and abdomen to control his center of gravity, and stood firmly on the ground after rolling forward even in iron armor. Then there was a slightly shrill howl from the sky, the smug roar of the red dragon with its mouth wide open - it had deflated Barrett for the first time since the airstrike had been launched. Then, as usual, it flew farther and farther without stopping, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

He raised his hand to look at Barrett of the 'Broken Peak', and then turned to look at the man who shook his head and fell to the ground. Then he waved the weapon in his hand twice as if he was trying his hand, and then sighed: "It's still a little bit close!" It seems that the layer of film in front of 'just right' is not easy to pierce. ”

It stands to reason that with Barrett's riding skills, it would have been easy to dodge the rocks thrown by the red dragon. There is no need to make such a move to use a weapon to pick up an incoming projectile. But unlike in the past, there were two burdens in this attack. If Barrett hadn't stopped him just now, the ranger who had fallen off his horse would definitely have been smashed by the stones projected by the red dragon.

Although he is not a completely bad person, Barrett can't sit idly by and watch others die in front of him for his own reasons. That's why there was the scene of raising his hand to pick up the flying stone just now. However, the effect of force is relative, and the impact of stones falling from the sky is full. While Barrett has been very successful in pulling most of the shock away, some of it has worked on himself.

Of course, with Barrett's current physical strength, that level of impact is nothing more than a drizzle. What's more, under the condition of being down-to-earth, he can still transmit the only little impact force left to the ground under his feet. The only imperfection was that Barrett was now on horseback, and the lowliest horse could not withstand that level of impact, and the horse stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Are you all right?" After casually greeting the two almost frightened rangers, Barrett immediately approached the horses and began to inspect the expensive cargo. After helping the horse back to its feet, Barrett carefully examined its forelimbs and breathed a sigh of relief when he made sure there were no major problems.

"You, your dwelling, actually provoked a dragon?" The ranger, who had managed to get up with great difficulty, said tremblingly as he propped up his mount.

Sitting on horseback, Noodles swept over the two embarrassed rangers out of the corner of his eye and said, "Isn't it just a stupid dragon." As long as it dares to come down, it will turn into my dragon skin armor in a minute. Otherwise, how could it only dare to throw stones in mid-air, and not even dare to breathe fire. ”

The noodle statement fell into the ears of the two aborigines, and it was indeed very rampant. But from the perspective of actual combat, it can't be said that there is anything wrong - as long as the young red dragon really lands and fights the players, with the strength of the 'blood-stained gray flower', you can indeed complete the 'feat' of slaying the dragon. Of course, under the desperate counterattack of the dragon, players also need to pay a lot of price. If the tone is not good, I am afraid that there will be a consumption of resurrection stones.

The two rangers were stunned at what they heard, and their worldview was severely shocked—they had never thought that anyone would be able to say such a thing, and in their memory, the dragon was an absolute powerhouse, and it was not something that ordinary people could challenge.

If it had been in the past, the two would have misrepresented the halfling wanderer's words to the mutters of a madman. But all this in front of him seems to prove the words of the person in front of him. This gap overwhelmed the two Aboriginal adventurers who had been working at the bottom.

But the current environment will not allow those two to be messy in the wind. Such a large red dragon attacked from the sky, and naturally fell into the eyes of the caravan not far away. Although because of the distance, it will not be as shocking as the two in front of him, but it is inevitable that there will be a commotion in the team.

After the red dragon flew away, they spent a lot of effort to temporarily pacify the relenting members of the main team. Immediately after that, someone was sent to confirm the specific reason for the appearance of the red dragon - if the red dragon had designated the surrounding area as its own hunting ground, the caravan would have to find a way to make a long detour. After all, the big guy flying in the sky was definitely not something that an ordinary caravan of theirs could handle.

Naturally, the rider who came at a rapid pace woke his companion from his trance. Immediately after getting the information they knew from the two of them, this guy also looked incredulous. Then, under the repeated explanations of the ranger, he immediately cast an indescribably complicated gaze on the players.

Immediately afterwards, he turned his horse's head and hurried back to the caravan with his whip. It wasn't long before dust rose from the caravan. In the dust, a caravan sprang up and galloped in the direction of the players. When the large group of people stopped in front of the players, the middle-aged man wearing a deerskin hat who was surrounded in the middle spoke with a little restraint: "May I ask a few gentlemen and ladies, it is said that the red dragon is coming for you?" ”

"Didn't our captain cut off one of its horns! Isn't there no way to grow it back up, and you need to chase it like this? "Speaking of which, the noodles are so angry that they pout," besides, it was the damn red dragon who attacked first. If it hadn't slipped away with a strange object before, it would have been our trophy long ago. ”

Immediately afterwards, Rieli, who pretended to be cold, also said in that unsettled tone: "Don't just talk about Barrett, didn't that guy's jaw shoot through your little man?" You also have a share of the main responsibility for that guy's desperate pursuit. ”

In their words, these two men skillfully picked up the conflict between the 'bloodstained Grey Flower' and the 'Queen of the Dragon' churches, and at the same time did not deliberately lie or deceive—they were just selectively stating the facts.

However, looking at the two people in front of him who were talking indifferently, the team leader who had just asked immediately felt that there seemed to be a drill bit drilling in his socket, and even the muscles of his face became stiff. Although I don't have the ability to read minds, I can't know exactly what the other person is heading towards. But the players also understand that the guy has absolutely nothing to say about him.

"So the red dragon is here because of you?" This caravan leader, whose image is passable, is obviously seen in the world. He wouldn't be as startled as the two in particular, and even stammered.

Barrett, who was the supreme leader of the 'Bloodstained Gray Flower' mercenary group, nodded at this time: "That's right! If you look around, you can see that guy is also chasing us all the way to throw stones! It seemed that the previous battle had left too deep a shadow on it, so that it didn't dare to attack even closer. ”

The banter in Barrett's words is very obvious. Judging from his acting skills, eighty percent can make the people in front of him believe it.

After looking at the team in front of him except for a little dust, he couldn't even find any scars. The caravan leader in the buckskin hat seemed to be trying to say something, but finally swallowed the words that had reached behind his teeth. Then he waved his hand, and led the not-so-small caravan back to the caravan.

"It seems that our choice seems to have added a lot of trouble to others!" Thinking about the complicated expression of the team leader on the other side, Barrett touched his chin and said.

Hearing this, Rielly then turned her head: "You mean that the red dragon will attack that caravan?" ”

"What do you say? With the temper of a creature like the red dragon, after we have eaten deflated, will it not be angry with other creatures that appear in its low eyelids? Barrett turned his head and asked rhetorically, slightly teasingly.

After looking up and thinking about it, Rielly immediately nodded: "You're right! Eighty percent of the creatures that live in this neighborhood are going to be unlucky. ”

While the players were talking, the caravan, which had already walked not far from the players, immediately began to adjust its direction. It seemed like they wanted to avoid the area where the red dragon was wreaking havoc. Don't look at the red dragon as if it was pestering the players, but as long as that guy had a little spare time, the nearby caravans and other newcomers in the wilderness would face a catastrophe.

"It seems that if we go north this way, I'm afraid we will have to harm a lot of people!" Noodle sighed at the thought of his identity. Although it is not done on their own initiative, the objective facts caused by the players will still affect their own good and evil bias. The halfling wanderer, apparently worried about his own camp.

Rieli, who had been forcing herself not to think about it before, immediately turned her head to Noodle and said, "It's useless for you to think about it now, we can't catch up with that damn guy." ”

"The one just now also understands that he is implicated by us! Why didn't he ask us for something? Then our hearts will feel better. Claudia didn't know why she said that out of nowhere.

Barrett, who turned his head to look at her, smiled and said, "Claudia, you're really still a girl!" ”

"Wasn't there anything I was like before?" The real master who heard this immediately quit.

"Aren't you always a woman?" Even the dwarf on the side muttered at this time, "The girls in our team are more or less a bit of a female man. ”

"That's much better than the two little girls on the second team." Sitting behind the anvil is clearly a pragmatism.

Barrett, who found that the ridicule just now might get out of control, immediately cleared his throat: "Ahem! Well, even if it's the one who wants to put something on our terms. But he was even more afraid that he would anger us because of this. Like the red dragon flying in the sky, he can't afford to mess with it. But if we can beat away the red dragon, does he think he can afford to provoke him? Of course, he could have gambled on our style, but most people don't have the guts to do that. What's more, he still has so many people's lives and livelihoods on his shoulders, so he naturally can't afford to gamble. ”

Claymatis, who was holding his chin in his hand, immediately came to this conclusion: "I didn't expect that we can affect the lives of so many people now." It seems that if you act in the future, you should also think more about this aspect. ”

"In this way, we are more or less a character now." Anvil is clearly a little complacent about such a state. It is impossible for him to have such an attitude in reality, and he definitely intends to take advantage of the fact that he is more enjoyable in the game.

Seeing the dwarf's expression, Claudia was angry when she remembered what he had just commented: "Look at you like that, at most you are a little person." ”

"What about the little people, this is also a character." In the face of the ridicule of the real master, the dwarf was not angry at all. Obviously, he understands his identity very well, and his positioning is also very clear.

Looking at the caravan heading north, Rielly said with some embarrassment, "Shall we continue to move on now, or wait until they are far away?" ”

Even though it knew the player's destination, the caravan would never want to pass with the player. But with so many supplies, it was inconvenient for them to leave the trade route, and the nearest fork on the map seemed to be next to the small town of Stoll. This made the caravan scared from top to bottom.

"As it stands, we're probably going to have to get to them when we get to the small town of Stoll. Even if they feel in front of them, eighty percent will let them fall into the dragon's grasp. Barrett frowned, "That's a bit of a trick!" ”

"Or let's just follow it! As long as both sides are in the same sight, the dragon probably won't abandon us and trouble them. Claudia suggested unconvinced.

Noodles shook his head: "If the attack on us doesn't work, then they are the best target for anger not far away!" (To be continued.) )
