Chapter 9 Tianjin's Woe
"The fork in the road ahead is to the left, and then we have to go in the direction of the Gordra area, and in three or four days we will reach the village of Pokei, so let's stop and rest." Ed stood on the iron caravan with the map in hand, and shouted to Wade in the first caravan.
After arranging a few people to be in charge of the sentry, the other team members were sitting on the side of the road and began to rest. Wade walked over from the front and said with a smile, "You don't need to be so careful, do you?" It's not the breeding season again, and the monsters won't leave their habitats, isn't it faster to go straight through the Tross Jungle? ”
Ed glanced at him angrily, the incident of Xialong a few days ago made him always feel uneasy, and after repeatedly emphasizing safety first several times, he went to rest in the caravan.
"Huh, what's the sound?" Xingchen, who was resting on the caravan with his eyes closed, suddenly showed a listening appearance and muttered quietly.
Wade, who was standing outside the caravan, was stunned for a moment, and said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, it's my stomach screaming, and the portions of portable food are too small to eat......"
Ed poked his head out to look around when he heard the voice, and saw that the herbivorous dragon resting on feed not far away was constantly making a low roar, and he looked a little uneasy. Sensing something was wrong, he gently placed his hand on the outer layer of the caravan, concentrating, and felt a slight vibration, but the amplitude was gradually increasing.
Ed's face became a little solemn, "Something is coming at us, it's still some distance. After saying that, he glanced at the stars beside him, her hearing was actually better than that of herself as a high-ranking hunter, what was going on? In the days since he returned from the primeval forest, the stars have made him feel like a white and flawless piece of paper, simple-hearted, and curious about everything, but whenever asked about her origins, the little girl will remain silent or change the subject.
The sound grew louder and clearer enough that even ordinary caravan members could hear it, and Ed flipped onto the roof of the caravan and looked in the direction from which the sound had come from, and to the southeast of them, a dark rain cloud mixed with lightning was rapidly approaching them, accompanied by a loud rumbling sound, the sound was full of oppressive force, and something could be vaguely seen rolling in the clouds.
Ed's pupils shrank, and he turned his head and shouted, "Fix the caravan!" Find hidden! ”
He had a bad premonition, gave a quick order, and then rushed into the caravan, turned out the cloak he often wore and threw it at the stars, yelling, "Put this cloak on and hide in the caravan and don't move!" ”
This cloak was given to him by an experienced old hunter when he left Mejepoltan, and it has an excellent concealment effect, even if he dances in front of monsters, he will not be detected in it.
Xingchen didn't make trouble, and very obediently put on his cloak and hid in the cargo pile. Outside the caravan, the experienced caravan members quickly secured the three caravans with thick ropes and wedges, and then hid underneath the caravan, while the six lower hunters in the caravan guarded the iron caravan with goods in the center of the caravan, while Ed and Wade stood at the front, staring at the approaching dark clouds with solemn faces.
Dark clouds enveloped them in an instant, and the earth trembled violently with lightning and thunder, but the harsh weather did not terrify the seven hunters, and what really made them stand on end was the monster that was coming at them in front of them.
A slender dragon floated in the storm, covered in pale green scales, most of its body covered with fin-like flying membranes that fluttered like white feathers, a pair of sacred and magnificent golden horns without a trace of scars on its head pointed proudly to the sky, its sharp forelimbs had an overwhelming sense of majesty, and the scales around its chest emitted a faint orange light, but in the storm it shone like a lighthouse.
"Lanlong, Tianjin is a disaster!" Ed's back was cold, he was a little panicked, if he had met the ancient dragon species alone in the hunting area, he would have escaped with the hidden cloak, but now there was a whole caravan of people around him, he couldn't leave them alone and run away, but he was not confident that these people could repel the dragon known as the "dragon of calamity", his brain was running fast, thinking about how to solve the dilemma in front of him.
In a tense mood, Ed set his sights on the stars hiding in the iron caravan and the entire leather bag of dragon crystals. He remembered that the scene in front of him seemed familiar, a few days ago in the primeval forest, they were also chased by the same ancient dragon species Xia Long, and finally it was Xingchen who threw out a handful of sealing dragon crystals to scare Xia Long back before he successfully escaped.
Ed rushed to the iron caravan for the first time, but before he could get closer, Lan Long suddenly spewed out a surging column of high-pressure water, which directly catapulted him out, which was the devastating impact of the ancient dragon species.
His body slammed into the first carriage at the front of the line, and Ed was wearing only a defenseless linen shirt and pants, unable to block Lan Long's attack at all, and the violent concussion made his eyes go black and he almost fainted.
And at the moment when Lan Long attacked him, the caravan members around him were also affected, Lan Long appeared too suddenly, they didn't have time to put on their equipment, and they were knocked away together under the force generated by the high-pressure water column hitting the ground, and hit the trees around the road, most of them fainted and lost consciousness.
Ed shook his head vigorously to quickly wake himself up, and when the pain gradually disappeared, he saw in the haze that the Lan Dragon in the air was shaking its huge body and turning rapidly, and the surrounding air currents were gathering towards it, and gradually there was a chilling sound of breaking wind, and his face suddenly turned pale and cold.
"Roaring ——!" A deafening roar accompanied by a huge tornado headed straight for Eddard, who was still unable to move.
The tornado hit Ed, causing him to fly upside down for more than ten meters before falling to the ground, spurting out a mouthful of blood and losing consciousness, and countless wounds were cut by the strong wind all over his body, surrounded by blood mist. The caravan behind him also shattered into pieces in an instant, flying in all directions.
After Arashi knocked Ed into the air, he quickly found his next target, lowered his altitude and stared at the iron caravan held by wedges, let out a low roar, the orange light emitted around his chest became more and more dazzling, and with a buzz, a powerful air blade flew straight towards the caravan.
Just as the air blade was about to hit the iron caravan, a bright orange light as sunlight erupted from the dense forest on the side of the road, and an orange dragon with crystal wings on its back flew out without warning to block the air blade.
Immediately after, the orange dragon that suddenly appeared rose into the air, flicked its long tough tail and slammed it at Lan Long's body, pumping Lan Long's huge body upside down.
"Roaring ——!" Lan Long roared and fanned the translucent flying membrane on his body to stabilize his body, floating in the air and looking at the mysterious dragon that landed next to the iron caravan, his eyes were full of excitement, and the pale green scales of his body kept trembling.
"Roaring ——!" The mysterious orange dragon on the ground roared in the sky, its golden eyes staring coldly at Lan Long, and let out a low roar, as if warning Lan Long to leave.
After the two giant dragons were in a stalemate for a while, Lan Long magically lowered his head in the air, his eyes actually showed sadness, and he let out a dull roar again.
The orange dragon ignored the dragon's low roar, lowered its head and looked around for the caravan members who had been scattered by the tornado, and gently scooped up the team members with their huge dragon claws and placed them smoothly under the iron caravan.
Floating in the air, the dragon kept watching what the orange dragon did, and there was an incredible light in his giant eyes.
When he realized that the dragon had not left, the orange dragon raised his head again and roared, which made the somewhat lost dragon leave in the direction of the Tros Jungle.
