Chapter 21: The Dragons Appear
This time the road was particularly long, and Renault felt like he had walked all day, but when he moved his eyes to the inconspicuous timetable in the lower right corner of the menu, he realized that the actual time had just passed two hours and five minutes. If it's outside, it should be time for dinner. At the thought of dinner, Reynolds' stomach growled uncontrollably, as if to complain of its displeasure.
Renault didn't expect the easy and simple job transfer mission to turn into a marathon battle of life and death, so he didn't bring anything to eat. The hunger pang is not so easy to endure, Renault still can't resist it, and instinctively clicks on the inventory, hoping for a miracle. But there were three pieces of death flesh from the defeat of the Green Carrion, and nothing was found. For the unexpected discovery, Renault forcibly suppressed the urge to swallow. The smell of Death Meat is not as bad as its name, but rather has a special aroma that may be an excellent delicacy for the individual looking for a unique taste.
"Oh my God! It's crazy that I want to use rotten meat as an ingredient. Renault smiled wryly.
The game's designers have thoughtfully kept the "food" material, and the original intention is to allow players to experience Shijie's various delicacies after a fierce battle. In reality, Shijie wants to taste the flavors of border countries, but it is not possible to have money. This is also a condiment that blindly regulates the nervousness of players.
But for Renault, there is nothing more dangerous than a hunger-filled battle.
Although his physical strength and HP are at full capacity, the hunger in his stomach has been lingering, which greatly affects his fighting mood. Even if you try to restrain yourself, you won't gain much. Now how much I wish I could get some edible ingredients in the battle with monsters, otherwise he doesn't know when he will lose his mind due to extreme hunger, swallow the three pieces of rotten flesh in his inventory, and even turn into zombies and lose a lot of HP.
Renault suddenly stopped, listened carefully, and a voice that could not be described by words came slowly, but it was still inaudible, and it could only be faintly heard if he was careful to distinguish it.
A new enemy is coming, and now there is still some distance, and it won't be long before we meet him.
Renault quickly summoned the greatsword, which had been hidden in the inventory in order to conserve stamina. Renault, who has the title of "Master of Equipment", can summon weapons in zero seconds at any time. If you weren't worried about the enemy's hidden arrows, you might even have the armor on your body in your inventory.
The sound grew louder and louder, and even more pronounced than that was the vibration coming from under his feet. A crack crawled towards Renault like a winding mountain serpent. Seeing that the situation was not good, Renault kicked his feet and jumped backwards lightly and quickly. The ground where he had been standing had cracked, and a terrifying roar came from the black cracks.
Renault was shocked, judging from the momentum alone, the person who came must be a big guy, and the rock bricks that could withstand Renault's full strength were torn apart, and they suddenly turned into cracks. The stench gushed from the crack, and Renault, who had fought with the undead monster no less than a hundred times, couldn't stand the choking smell and raised his hand to cover his nose.
The crack continued to expand, and a large number of rock bricks broke and fell from the surrounding area, which accelerated the expansion process. Finally, a huge black shadow burst out, and Renault couldn't help but be startled, and when he saw that the black shadow turned out to be a huge dragon, he was already sweating through his clothes.
Legendary dragons! What level of existence is that?
In the game, there are many types of dragons, and what they all have in common is that they are extremely powerful, and they are creatures at the top of the game's food chain (if the game has a food chain). Adult dragons of any race are not something that a player can defend against, and a well-equipped team has the potential to be wiped out.
Renault had seen all sorts of pictures of dragons, but none of them resembled the strange dragon in front of him. The long neck was covered with a layer of gray and white bone armor, and from the place where it was not covered by the bone armor was a disgusting black carrion, the disorganized outer skin was either cracked or rotten, and the exposed flesh was condensed with gagging gelatin, the dragon's head had no horns, and the huge dragon jaws still had the characteristics of a dragon, and from the black teeth that peeked out of the half-open and half-closed mouth, endless saliva dripped from time to time.
The neck alone is eight meters long, but the narrow tunnel at a height of five meters does not allow it to be used casually, and the slightest movement of the dragon's head hits the hard ceiling. Each impact brought about a small earthquake. And its true body is still under the crack in the ground, not fully revealed. I really don't know how big a fully formed dragon will be, just imagining it can be terrifying.
Perhaps it was the relationship between the bright corridor that suddenly appeared from the dark underground, and the eyes of this long-necked monster dragon were still closed. How could Renault, who was observant, let go of this opportunity, and without hesitation, he put his two-handed sword behind him, rushed at full speed, and stepped firmly on the edge of the widening rift with both feet, and jumped up, his two-handed sword drew an arc, and slashed heavily at the thick dragon's neck.
This blow seemed reckless, but in fact it skillfully avoided the gray and white bone armor, and all beckoned to the exposed carrion. Renault's all-out blow was no joke, Renault believed that in the case of a small difference in rank, the monster hit by this blow was either dead or injured, like a dragon's soft neck without armor protection, most of the flesh was blurred, and the flesh was scattered.
But the huge shock from the arm made the confident Renault scold, and the blade of the sword seemed to be slashed on a solid iron block, which made the arm numb, and the two-handed sword almost fell off.
The evil dragon felt uncomfortable, and his thick neck instinctively stiffened, just hitting Renault, and the huge force ejected Renault straight more than ten meters away, if he wasn't playing a game, I'm afraid Renault would have suffered serious internal injuries. Luckily, in the game, as long as you pay some HP, you will get out. Of course, paying even a little bit of HP is an irreparable loss for Renault, especially when his logistics are not good.
From this blow alone, Renault felt unprecedented pressure. In the past, powerful enemies were difficult to deal with, but now this evil dragon is not a difficult problem to deal with. Even if there is level suppression, the dragon is a dragon after all, even if it is a low-rank dragon, as long as it has dragon blood flowing on its body, it has combat power that cannot be ignored.
The temptation to gain more than it loses ends in defeat, but the battle has just begun, it is a battle without compromise and without yield, and the losing side will celebrate the victor with blood. And this is another unfair battle, defeat is the end for Renault, and for the dragon it is nothing more than data initialization.
Fairness, since entering purgatory mode, how can there be fairness at all, unless you regard the suppression level as the only fairness, it can only show that you are too naïve.
The temptation was not for nothing, at least some of the data of the evil dragon was obtained: the corpse king dragon, the lower dragon clan, the body is said to be the remains of a dead high-level dragon, with a mutilated dragon soul, feeding on undead creatures and carrion corpses, and is most interested in creatures with a stronger breath of death.
Seeing the words "feeding on undead creatures and carrion corpses", Renault's heart moved, and he was full of luck hoping that the corpse king dragon had no interest in living creatures.
Accustomed to the light of the tunnel, the corpse king dragon finally opened its pair of ostrich egg-sized eyes, and the crescent-shaped yellow pupils of reptiles stared directly at the embarrassed Renault, opening its huge upper and lower jaws, and the scarlet and broken dragon's tongue licked the black giant teeth, and the black saliva sprinkled from the mouth like a column of water, falling into the huge black crack. Smelling Renault's breath, he couldn't help but snort, and a few points of ambergris sprayed on the rock bricks not far from Renault, Renault only heard the sound of the slightest rot piercing the gold stone, peeked there, and couldn't help but snort abruptly-the solid stone rotted into fine black sand under the corrosion of ambergris. Ambergris is an unknown corrosive solution, even if it has armor on his body, Renault does not want to test whether the armor on his body can resist these dangerous corrosive fluids.
The worst thing happened, the corpse king dragon seemed to be very interested in Renault, and the yellow pupils followed him, wherever he went.
What a "monster file", it's all nonsense! The Corpse King Dragon has the same interest in non-undead spirits. Renault cursed.
It's just that this time Renault blamed the game system, and the situation of the corpse king dragon is exactly the same as what is recorded in the archives, but because Renault has killed too many undead monsters, he unconsciously has a breath of death on his body, and the living can't smell it. For the corpse dragon that feeds on the undead, it is a symbol of deliciousness.
On the ground, the huge dragon head of the corpse king dragon slammed into Renault like a hammer, and its huge mouth was eager to swallow him alive. Renault reacted in time, leaping to the side, the harder steel dragon scales on the left cheek of the corpse dragon grazed his metal armguard, and the violent friction produced sparks that can only be found in hand-to-hand combat.
The left arm is almost dislocated! Renault held back the pain, and his backhand was a heavy slash, and the two-handed sword was like a small wooden sword played by a child compared to the huge dragon head, and the corpse king dragon didn't even blink an eye.
Renault saw that the HP of the corpse king dragon had only disappeared by a small block, and the dragon's defense was perverted beyond imagination. It's just that it stands still, slashing with its two-handed sword, not knowing if it can drop its HP to the red alert position in ten minutes.
Of course, the corpse king dragon will not be stupid to let people cut like a target, and the little dragon wisdom that is retained should not be underestimated, feeling the attack on the left, the corpse king dragon unleashed its wild instinct, and shook its head exaggeratedly, and the impact force alone can cut off the player's HP.
Renault was taken aback, he didn't expect this monster to have such a reflex, and it was too late to dodge, and the huge dragon head didn't give him room to dodge at all.
With a loud bang, Renault's entire body shot like a spring on the wall of light, and the huge momentum shook the four walls. Fortunately, Renault's blocking exclusive skill has been perfected, and he narrowly blocked the dragon's head attack. Even so, the super momentum knocked the whole person away, and it was not until his back hit the top of the tunnel wall that he stopped castration.
What a terrible liliang! Is this the true strength of the legendary dragons?
Renault was also the first to be knocked back with the ability to block the grid.
