Chapter 33: Confronting the Dragon
The dark purple scales reflect a faint pink light, giving people a bewitching feeling, and the streamlined back is connected to a huge tail, coupled with the angular appearance, this dragon is very beautiful.
But now I couldn't care about it, my mind went blank, and what I saw was completely beyond my expectations.
We didn't go down the wrong path, the passage was the same as before, the two crystals should be at the end of the pathway, but to my surprise, the guardian dragon didn't leave the dragon's lair!
Careless! Didn't notice that there was no such thing in the dragons! And our arrival seems to wake it up.
Thinking back to the terrifying power of this guardian dragon that destroyed a third of the town in an instant, it was simply not something we could compete with, even a large army, combined with large weapons, it was no match for it.
While I was thinking about it, those huge eyes had already opened, and our figures naturally reflected in them, and the dragon, which was still a little lazy, opened its eyes angrily when it saw us, and when it looked up, there was an earth-shaking roar, and the entire underground space seemed to collapse, shaking constantly.
"Run!" Even forgetting that the connection had been disconnected, I slapped Bars, who was also in a mess, and turned around and went back the way I came.
Although this passage is spacious, there is no place to hide it, it is a large straight line through and through, and once the dragon breathes forward the dragon's breath, I am afraid that the two of us will not even be able to leave ashes. Under the scorching flames of ultra-high temperatures, with the technology of the world of Tisball, no item can resist anything.
It's too late to look at the situation behind him, let alone care about the state of the battery, the whole body does its best to exert its strength, the steam power furnace in the body accelerates, and the excessive force even tramples the ground out of a pit. Under the effect of this power, the entire body instantly burst out at a speed of more than three times the usual speed, and almost in the blink of an eye, it rushed out ten meters away.
I don't dare to have reservations at all, once I am touched by the dragon's breath a little bit, it will be a ruin. Legend has it that the dragon's flames can burn for seven days and seven nights, but no one dares to risk their lives to verify their authenticity, let alone at such a critical moment.
I don't know if Bars will follow, and if he dies here, he can only be blamed for his bad luck.
As I rushed forward, I soon saw the roots of the trees stretching down from the ground, and in front of me was the suspended lake. Turning his head to look behind him, a tongue of fire so bright that it seemed to burn his eyes rushed out of the passage, and in front of the flames, Bars ran towards me with all his might, and almost died in the flames.
I hurriedly beckoned to Bars, turned around and picked up speed again, slid against the bottom of the lake as soon as I was short, and then jumped three meters into the air, and grabbed the roots of the tree with my hand. Baars had learned my way, and he was already near, jumping up with his legs, trying to catch the tail of the root.
But it was obvious that its physical function was not enough, and although this jump was extremely close to the tail of the tree root, it was still a little close, and at this moment, the guardian dragon had already followed, spitting terrifying flames under it in an instant. Seeing that he was close to the distance, but he grabbed an empty space, and Bars's body was about to fall downward, and once he fell into the flames, his bones would definitely be gone.
Seeing this, I hurriedly reached out and grabbed him, I can't let this only teammate die here at this time, I must have a helper to deal with this dragon.
I grabbed Bars by the arm and pulled him hard against a branch next to me. We glanced at each other and quickly climbed up to the ground.
"It should be safe now, it doesn't seem to be keeping up." I glanced down through the hole next to the roots, the presence of the dragon had completely disrupted my rhythm, and it seemed that I needed to re-plan.
"That is the guardian dragon? I didn't hear of such a guy when I looked up the information before. Bars's voice sounded a little tired, and what had just happened had probably left a shadow on him.
I sighed and said, "I don't know, the main problem now is how we can get around the dragon and get those two crystals, I think we may not have much time left." ”
I looked at the monitor on my wrist, because of the strenuous exercise just now, I had a lot of power left, and now I have very little power left, and it can only support for about another hour.
"I can move for another hour here, but what about you?" I asked Bars.
"I'm pretty much the same, maybe there's less time left than you do."
The situation has gotten worse, and if we can't find a way to deal with the dragon in thirty minutes, then our best chance is that we will be completely wiped out here.
Unexpectedly, the problem that bothered me in the end was the time limit.
What am I going to do. I kept asking myself, and I had no idea how I was going to slip under the eyes of the giant dragon. There is only one way to get through, and there is no way to get around it from anywhere else, which was clear from the first time I came here. Moreover, the passage is a straight line, there is no place to dodge, and coupled with the heavy body of the robot, it is impossible to move forward in a roundabout way. And once it awakens the dragon, it attacks us with its breath, and this time it escapes with speed, but what if it does it again? The current power simply can't hold up, that is, we have no room for failure.
Ten minutes passed, and the answer I got was that there was no way. I looked at Bals, who hesitated for a long time, and finally could only shake his head helplessly.
After all, I'm just a weak human being, even if I change my skin, I'm just a human after all, how can such a monster be defeated by humans? That's just a fool's dream......
Cher...... I miss you so much...... You're so close to me, but I can't touch you...... I really miss you......
Despair, if you want to use one word to describe my current mood, I'm afraid the word "despair" couldn't be more appropriate, and when facing an opponent with a disparity in strength, I can only feel like this.
If there is really no way, go to death, it is better than running out of power here and enduring the pain of despair and longing all day long. In fact, there is even a glimmer of hope in my heart, maybe I can meet Cher in heaven after death.
Is this an escape...... Maybe...... But I'm really tired, I can't help it, I've really done my best in the face of such a dragon...... Cher, can you forgive me?
……
"You scoundrel, well, if you catch me, I'll give you a reward!"
……
"Come on, come after me! Hee-hee. ”
……
"Hmm...... Well, then I promise you one thing! ”
……
……
……
"Let's go." I said lightly.
"Do you have a solution?" Bars asked, standing up from the ground.
I shook my head slightly, "I can't say how to deal with it, but if you cooperate well, you may succeed." ”
“…… Then I believe that this time, it is not a way for you to be in a hurry here, and even if you don't go, you will end up running out of power. ”
I walked in front, and Bals followed. There's no way to deal with it or something, but there's no way to deal with that kind of monster that transcends common sense. But after calming down, I realized one thing, the whole passage is wide and large, and even if the dragon has filled it, there is still a lot of space to pass through, which means that we will not be stopped by its massive body. Moreover, the dragon was located in a very deep position, and almost past it turned the corner to the crystal, so that it could undoubtedly better fulfill its duty of protection. But at the same time, it also means that once someone crosses it, it is almost impossible to prevent the result of the crystal being taken away. The Guardian Dragon's massive body can be an obstacle in such a situation, as the space is too small for the tail to use. Therefore, it must turn around and attack the enemy with the dragon's breath, but it is undoubtedly a very difficult task.
In other words, if we can make it right below the guardian dragon, there will be little it can do to stop me from touching the crystal and from resurrecting Cher!
But having said that, how to get to the dragon's feet is the most important, according to the previous memory, if you want to rush to the dragon's side, you must pass through a barrier-free straight line of nearly fifty meters, the dragon's perception is very sensitive, it is impossible to rush through it without being detected, so you must find a way to deal with its breath.
When I was chased by the dragon just now, it wasn't actually a strong escape, I also observed the flames spewed out by the dragon, its breath is not continuous, it can continue to breathe for about three seconds each time, and then it will fall into a short adjustment, about ten seconds or so, if I count according to my own speed, as long as I can avoid the first breath, then I will almost definitely reach the dragon's body.
The cross-section of this breath is so large that it is impossible to dodge it, so it can only be resisted, and the method of resisting is ......
Following the roots of the tree back into the ground again, through the overhanging lake, I once again stood at the entrance of the passage.
"How sure are you?" Bars asked.
"It was probably only 30 percent before I came in, but now it should be 60 percent." I paused for a moment, then continued, "I stopped fifty meters away from the dragon, and it was from this position that woke it up just now, and the footsteps should be controlled to the same level as before. ”
With that, I took the somewhat worn token out of the storage space and handed it to Bars.
"Listen to me in a moment, you follow my right hand, throw this token into the dragon's eye, and then switch to me, I will hold you up and throw it directly, so that you should be able to rush under it, you attacked it before, its hatred point will definitely be on you, and its huge size will definitely not be able to turn around, I will take this opportunity to rush in, so that we have a good chance of passing through it to get the crystal."
