Chapter 37: Ambush the Rock Dragon

A wounded beast is actually more aggressive than when it is not injured, so John has had good and bad times at this time. The good thing is that because he has just experienced a big battle, although he doesn't know the outcome of the battle, the rock dragon's physical strength and magic power will definitely have some consumption, plus there are injuries in the body, naturally it will not be as energetic and full of physical strength as the rock dragon that was originally intact and has just finished eating;

Thinking of this, John began to slow down as he approached the mountain. When they reached the foot of the mountain, they were even more careful. Looking up at the mountain, John nodded, flicked his wings slightly, and flew up. This time, John was going to enter the cave from the entrance of the rock dragon into the mountain, the big hole near the top of the mountain, which was the air outlet of the entire cave, and he didn't have to be afraid that his own smell would be smelled by the rock dragon in advance.

Standing at the mouth of the cave at the top of the mountain, John looked down at the ground beneath his feet. If I'm not mistaken, the place where I'm standing now should be the big hole I saw in the cave before, but now it's turned to stone. "Looks like the rock dragon did it. John crouched down and stroked the stone under his feet, thinking, "As a rock dragon, if you can name a rock, you must be very good at controlling rocks." John recalled the hunting scene he saw on the grassland, just some common magical beasts could control the dirt to build an earthen wall to block the predators, and they could also control the wind to attack, so as a more advanced magical beast, it was easy to control the rock to block the hole entrance.

However, John didn't think about this problem at first, and thought that he could enter the cave directly from here, but the entrance was blocked, which made John a little uncomfortable. But it was a rare opportunity, and John naturally couldn't give it up. After thinking for a while, John felt that it would be easy to break this thin layer of rock into it by himself, but the sound of breaking the rock would definitely alarm the already nervous rock dragon, which was not a scene John wanted to see. As I said before, why fight head-to-head if you can backstab?

But John didn't run out of ways. After thinking for a moment, John flapped his wings and flew to the entrance of the small hole he had entered earlier. Since the air outlet on this side has been closed, the flow of the wind will be slowed down, so that its own smell will not be carried by the wind to the nose of the rock dragon.

Walking along the road he had walked before, John quickly came to the fork in the road before, and then walked quietly in the direction where the rock dragon was. Although the rock dragon's sense of smell and hearing is also very good, the rock dragon's most outstanding sense is vision, whether it is hunting or patrolling the territory, excellent vision is essential. Now that John had reached the entrance to the cavern where the rock dragon was, he had discovered something he hadn't expected: the sealed cave not only kept out the enemies who tried to enter, but it also sealed the only entrance for light to enter here. The cave without a ray of light entering is dark, and the rock dragon naturally cannot see the surrounding environment. But John, who has the eye of true vision, can see clearly, whether it is the rock dragon recovering from sleep, or the dragon's den beside it.

John sighed in his heart, and his feet became lighter, lest the sound of his feet wake up the sleeping rock dragon. But there is a limit to this approach, and John, holding the obsidian greatsword in his hand, slowly approached the sleeping rock dragon while observing the rock dragon's movements. Sure enough, when John got closer to about ten meters, John found that the rock dragon's breathing was disordered, which was completely different from the previous breathing rhythm, and the obviously thickened breathing showed that the rock dragon had noticed something wrong, and began to slowly raise its head from under its wings.

John knew that there would be no chance if he didn't make a move, so he flailed his wings and leaped high, raising his obsidian greatsword in his hand and stabbing it into the long neck of the rock dragon. The obsidian greatsword was heavy, but it was held in John's hand as if it were just a light stabbing sword, and the sharp tip of the sword pierced the scales of the rock dragon's neck as if it were piercing a solid rock, making a loud crunch and sparkling. However, just one layer of dragon scales could not stop John's attack, and after shattering this layer of dragon scales, the great sword pierced deep into the neck of the rock dragon from the broken dragon scales.

John was not happy with the attack, though. Originally, it was thought that this attack could directly cause serious injuries to the rock dragon, but because the attack was blocked by the dragon scales, this attack seemed to hurt the rock dragon's neck, but this wound was not deep, just some flesh wounds, and did not hurt the muscles and bones in the neck.

The rock dragon's neck was suddenly attacked by this time, causing the rock dragon to have a trace of sleepiness disappear in an instant, and at the same time, the anger was ignited in an instant. The mission flicked his neck, and the rock dragon wanted to throw John off the neck, but John desperately pressed the big sword into the rock dragon's neck, while holding the obsidian big sword and not letting go. Therefore, the swing of the rock dragon not only did not throw John down, but made John stab his sword deeper and deeper.

The rock dragon also found that just shaking his neck was not only useless, but would also aggravate his injuries, so he bent his neck and slammed John's position against the rock wall of the cave, apparently trying to kill John, at least knocking him down.

However, the rock dragon didn't think about it carefully because of the relationship between pain and anger, and when he hit it, John did jump off the rock dragon's neck when his neck was about to hit the stone wall. However, John did jump off the neck of the rock dragon, but did not pull out the obsidian greatsword inserted in the neck, so he was hit by this powerful blow, and the part of the obsidian greatsword that was originally outside the neck was directly broken, but the part that was inserted in the neck was inserted deeper by this impact. Not only that, but the big sword, which originally only hurt the flesh, directly touched the neck bone, and even inserted a little tip into the junction between the two neck bones, which not only hurt it, but also hindered the movement of its neck, and it was completely unable to move its head flexibly.

What's even more uncomfortable for the rock dragon is that it doesn't know where the enemy has landed at all, and although he can hear the enemy's footsteps and roughly determine the enemy's location, he can't know the opponent's movements. The most important thing is that there are eggs around here, and you have to protect them.

John also knew about the rock dragon's protection of the eggs, and knew that as long as there were eggs, the rock dragon would not be able to fight with all his might, so he decided to take advantage of this.
