Chapter 11: The Looming Black Crisis
The sudden battle didn't require An Ran to show surprise and surprise, because he knew that this would definitely not be the last, and even if the Sakura Fire Dragon chased after him, he wouldn't feel the slightest surprise.
"I feel like it's not normal for a bastard three-pillar god not to do something, how can a hunter in this world meet a monster like me when he goes out, last time it was a rare species, this time it shouldn't be some kind of ultimate boss or something, right? Could it be a natural disaster?"
Spit and complain, An Ran still motioned to Sandy to change into equipment, and he went to delay some time first, no matter how he said it, he couldn't explore the mission before it started, and the camp was gone first, so he was still playing with wool.
After the communication, Sandy quietly slipped out from behind the tent to change his equipment, and An Ran observed the guys who were about to move from the gap, always feeling that there was something wrong with these red-eyed monsters, but he couldn't say it.
"Anyway, we can only do it first, Ellbert, they should be ready, right?"
The moment he rushed out of the tent, An Ran raised his hand to summon the Chixiao Sword, and an arc-shaped sword qi flew towards the most dense place of monsters, in fact, he felt that the AOE skill was more suitable for the current situation, but he didn't have that kind of skill, so he could only use the sword qi to imitate the effect of AOE.
The constant screams showed that even without skill bonuses, this arc-shaped sword qi had caused a lot of damage, and then three arrows broke through the air and hit a blue speed dragon that was about to sneak attack Enron.
"Lalala~Wendy is here~"
"Keep an eye on your back, boy. ā
After the reloading, Ellbert continued his usual steady style, resisting the attack of the four blue dragons from the front, and the equipment that looked heavy enough to crush the puppy dragon was paired with a small cannon-like weapon like a gun, almost like a humanoid self-propelled turret.
Wendy, dressed in leather armor, looks much lighter, at least she can walk around with a bow and arrow, and even jump and shoot back and forth in the surrounding trees, cooperating with Sandy who is swimming among the monsters with dual knives to harvest.
After holding the sword in his backhand and leaving a deep scar on the body of a blue speed dragon who wanted to bite his neck, he retreated behind Ellbert safely: "Something is not quite right with this group of monsters." ā
"It's rare for so many monsters to attack the hunter camp without the leader leading it, and we should be the only ones in this situation," After blasting away the last blue speed dragon in front of him with a gun, Ellbert looked at the dwindling monster group with some concern, "After we get rid of this place, we should go to other camps to have a look, how about it?"
"Sure, but are all hunters as helpful as you?" An Ran nodded that he still had some energy to spare, but he was more curious about whether the hunters in this world were like Ambert, and the honest man was almost extinct in his time.
"We are weak by nature for the monsters that occupy two-thirds of the continent, and we can only survive if we are united," Elbert tucked his gun behind his back and patted Enron on the shoulder, "but the real pressure comes from the monsters known as the Scourge, and it will be up to you to take on that responsibility." ā
"IāI'm not the kind of guy who would be a hero," Enron waved his hand, "Besides, doesn't the Hunter Guild still have a top team? ā
"No one is born a hero, heroes are just ordinary people who have taken a step forward in the face of danger, just like you when we met the Sakura Fire Dragon," Annbert looked at An Ran meaningfully, "If you encounter the same difficulties in the future, I believe you will make the same choice, and you have a heart to become a hero." ā
ā......ā
For Elbert, who firmly believes that he can become a hero, Enron is a little speechless, he is actually more inclined to position himself in the camp of chaos and goodness, with his own moral code and at the same time extremely hated to be bound by rules, and does not want to be a villain or a hero.
"According to the flow of the main quest, there is a high chance that I will eventually face a catastrophe-level monster, but there is still time for me to upgrade my swordsmanship skills, at least there will be no situation where I will not break the defense, and I will have time to go to the sword shrine again. ć
Led by Annbert, they arrived at the nearest camp, but unfortunately they found no valuable clues except for a few corpses of Huang Sulong, which had already cooled away.
"It's under attack here, too, but the hunters in this camp seem to be retreating," Sandy surveyed the environment, the extinguished campfires, the collapsed tents, and the stray footprints, until he saw the claw marks on the surrounding rock faces, "No, not retreating, they're hiding from a flying monster." ā
"Can fly?"
A large cloud of black dust fell from the cliff above the camp as Enron asked, enveloping the entire camp like smoke in an instant.
"Everyone stepped back behind me and watched the air. ā
Ellbert stood at the front of the line for the first time, while Enron watched with his sword in the back for possible dangers.
"The black powder looks like the scale that moths drop, but something seems wrong. Sandy said as she took out an empty bottle from her backpack and filled it with some black powder.
Soon, An Ran knew where something was wrong, the few yellow dragons behind them who should have been cold struggled to get up one by one after being contaminated with black powder, and their blood-red pupils made people shudder.
"Damn, zombie virus, this doesn't seem to be something that should appear in this world, if this is a forest full of such unbeatable things, then explore a yarn." ć
"Albert, it seems to be a little worse than we thought, look at the back. ā
An Ran was careful to shoot Ellbert at the same time, and the situation behind was really not optimistic.
"Prepare to retreat, Wendy is in the middle to assist, Sandy you and Enron open the way, and I will raise my shield in the back in case of accidents. ā
"Roger. ā
"Understood. ā
"If you can, try to cut off the heads of those Yellow Speed Dragons, and if you can't do that, you will weaken their ability to move. ā
After determining the goal of retreating, An Ran clenched the long sword in his hand, and suddenly launched a charge towards Huang Sulong, who was standing in front of him, the cold light of the Chixiao Sword flashed, and a dragon head sprayed blood and rolled to the side, now there is no time for him to complain about any waste of clothes, if he is dragged by the Huang Sulong group a little slowly, the monster that is very likely to be ambushed around will definitely be able to harvest a wave of three kills.
Enron himself didn't have many skills, if he really failed the mission and was randomly deducted three skills, then he could only see him on the rooftop, even if it wasn't a mission, he definitely didn't want to see this hunting team die in front of him.
After all, these are the three guys in this world who can be called friends.
