Chapter 12: Natural Disasters in the World
After breaking out of the camp, Albert decided to go back to Balbarre to report the situation to the Hunters' Guild, but they had to walk through an open area to reach the area where the cat cart was parked, which was the biggest problem they faced at the moment.
"If we follow this route, the four of us are no different from moving targets in the eyes of that monster with the ability to fly, and the danger of not having cover is too high. ”
"At the moment, we only know that this monster has the ability to fly, and when it appears, it will have black scales around it, and the strength of its attack and the hardness of its flesh are completely unknown, so the situation is not very optimistic for us. ”
Listening to Sandy's analysis of the current information with a sad face, Ellbert, who has always been steady, also looked worried with a frown, but Wendy was very open, maybe not open.
"Poor Wendy, her life will come to an end on the third expedition of her hunter career, and I am going to carve my name on this tree, proof that I have been in this world. ”
Ignoring Wendy's self-talk, An Ran took a deep breath and put forward his opinion: "If someone can hold back that monster, you can retreat safely, right?"
"No, absolutely not," Ellbert directly repudiated Enron's plan, "What we need to do now is for everyone to retreat together, and in the face of unknown dangers, we must first ensure our own safety." ”
"Yes, don't worry, Enron, we will definitely be able to evacuate safely. ”
Wendy's comfort did not make An Ran relax, but instead tightened his tense nerves again.
"Before you say that, maybe we would have had a chance to evacuate safely, but now, planting flags indiscriminately will kill people...... It's okay for others to say, Wendy, you probably are hanging. 」
"If I can't handle that monster, I'll join you as soon as possible," An Ran used his Chixiao sword to push away the bushes in front of him and jumped out, "Also, I'm not a hero, I'm just doing what I have to do." ”
An Ran, who was running with all his might, disappeared from the sight of the three of Ellbert in an instant, to be honest, he didn't really want to be a hero, because the kind of hope that condensed the hopes of others was really heavy.
"I'm not a hero, I just don't want to fail, that's all. 」
Enron used this reason to convince himself to step into the danger zone, and according to Sandy's speculation, the main reason why the monster did not attack them in the camp was because the dense forest area was too small.
And now, he took the initiative to stand in the center of an open area where there were no obstacles within a radius of two or three hundred meters, clenching the long sword in his hand and waiting for him.
After a long roar, the black scale powder spread over the entire clearing like a fog, and when the black mist overflowed An Ran's calves, a black and purple dragon-shaped monster fell from mid-air and slowly walked in front of An Ran.
In front of the horizontal sword, An Ran carefully looked at this monster, the black scales covering its whole body made it look as hard as steel, and at the same time made its activities in the black scale powder more difficult to catch, and the huge wings dragged behind him like a cloak, and the natural coercion proved that this was a monster king who had the ability to climb the food chain.
But the most strange thing for Enron is that this monster actually has no eyes, he can't see anything that can be called a pupil at all, and the ghost knows how this guy "sees" him.
"Although it is said that 'squinting eyes are monsters', but you don't even have a crack, right?
Obviously, the monster's purpose in finding Enron was not to make him cranky, and the sharp front claws slammed into Enron, who instinctively dodged the blow, but what he didn't expect was that a black bomb exploded just in the spot where he was dodging.
"I...... Prejudged by a monster?"
Although the sword curtain was propped up in time, An Ran could feel that his every move was in the opponent's prediction, swinging the sword, sword qi, dodging, every attack would be dodged by the other party just right, and every time he dodged, a black explosive bomb exploded just right, but it would not cause him too much damage.
The monster was playing with its prey like a cat that had caught a mouse, and Enron was in the position of being toyed with was simply terrible.
"Is it really the eye of the heart? it doesn't feel like it, that's the problem with these black fogs, if it's relying on these black fogs to sense my direction of movement, then as long as it doesn't touch, it can make it blind, it's a bit difficult, I can't fly, right?"
Obviously, Enron does not have the ability to fly, and the full attribute bonus brought by Chixiao can make him jump high, but it is obviously impossible for him to float in the air for a long time, and the speed he has always relied on is a joke in front of this all-round perception.
The long sword in his hand fell into the air again, and An Ran was about to distance himself when a sharp arrow broke through the air, rubbing a little spark on the monster's scales.
"Enron, you really don't have any sense of teamwork, we're teammates, teammates! teammates!teammates, do you know!" Shooting arrows while chattering to vent her resentment on Enron, Wendy quickly attracted the attention of the monster.
And Elbert raised his shield and rushed in front of the monster, blocking a black bomb for Wendy that was enough to blow her up: "Wendy, you too, honestly contain the back, Sandy pulled An Ran to the back, looking for an opportunity for us to retreat together." ”
"Roger. Sandy, who was in combat mode, pulled Anran aside, he was probably the only member of the entire team who could listen to Elbert's command.
"This monster uses those black fogs to perceive the surroundings, and it will also spit out black explosives, the hardness is unknown, at least my sword didn't touch it," the arrival of the three of them made An Ran have to muster up his spirit to observe the monster's movements, "The current situation is very unfavorable for us, Ellbert, I'll contain it, you cover Wendy and they retreat first." ”
"Our team didn't abandon the hunters of our teammates during the hunt, and if we wanted to retreat, it would be me, the captain, who was the one who broke off. ”
Annbert blocked Enron behind him in an unquestionable tone, which made Enron a little moved and couldn't help but feel a headache at the same time, and in desperation, he could only retreat under the cover of Annbert.
Aside from the black bombs that kept bombarding Ombert's shield, the monster didn't seem to want to come forward for hand-to-hand combat.
"I feel like that guy hasn't been serious, if it's been like this, it seems to be fairly easy to evacuate safely, okay, don't talk nonsense. 」
When Enron and the others were close to safety, the monster suddenly spat out a large amount of black fog that obscured the sky, which suddenly plunged the already dim environment into pitch black.
And in this darkness, a pair of purple tentacles are like beacons to signal the arrival of danger.
Seeing this change, Ellbert was suddenly shocked, and even shouted words that made everyone nervous.
"This ...... This is the power of natural disasters!"
