Chapter 22: Desperate Situation

"Woo!" A low whistle sounded from Xu Mo's side, and when he turned his head to look, Bridget on another griffin was blowing on a snail shell on the side of her mouth, excitedly pointing to the lower part of the painting.

Xu Mo hurriedly looked down at the ground, only to see a white dam made of boulders standing on the cliff below the griffin. Even when viewed from above, the boulder dam is still magnificent. The dam is carved with three giant dwarven heads, and their mouths are floodgates.

Xu Mo suppressed the excitement in his heart, this boulder dam was the boundary between Lokmodan and the northern wilderness wetlands. After passing through the dam, they entered the wilderness wetlands north of Kazmodan, which was the destination of their reconnaissance mission.

As the name suggests, the wilderness wetland knows the terrain here, which is basically wetlands and swamps. There are a large number of velociraptors, crocodiles, monitor lizards and other creatures living here, and of course, there are also orcs of dragonthroat clans.

In front of the Boulder Dam is the only half-moon mountain range in the Wilderness Wetlands, Green Batoar, at the summit of the mountain range is the former city of the Dwarven Hammer tribe, and to the east of Grimbaatar is another slightly smaller area, the Twilight Heights.

At this point, Xu Mo had basically fulfilled his promise to Luo Ning and escorted him into the wilderness wetland. In the narrow sense of the content of the mercenary, even if Xu Mo leaves immediately, he has not violated the mercenary principles of the Azeroth world.

Next, as long as Luo Ning discovers some enemy information that has not yet been discovered by the alliance, then the entire reconnaissance mission can come to an end, and Xu Mo will complete the first stage of the hidden plot mission.

Xu Mo had actually carefully inquired about Luo Ning's details about the reconnaissance mission last night. For example: reconnaissance of specific areas, specific targets, etc. But Luo Ning was very tight-lipped, and he was perfunctory, and only asked Xu Mo to send him to the wilderness wetland.

Since this is the case, Xu Mo didn't ask any more questions, he only planned to send Luo Ning here by the way, and he took a griffin to the Eastern Plague Lands, and he didn't think about accompanying him into Grimbaatar.

Maybe Wen Leisa and Britsette haven't discovered anything yet, but they are as smart as Xu Mo and have already understood that Luo Ning still has something to hide from this reconnaissance mission, and they haven't told the whole truth to others. Xu Mo asked Luo Ning about the details of the mission, but for the sake of everyone's companions, he wanted to help him come up with ideas.

Xu Mo sighed secretly, Luo Ning concealed the details of the mission, it should be out of kindness. This nerdy mage was obviously unwilling to bring a few of them to death again, and chose to face the next task alone, which made Xu Mo respectful.

Luo Ning is not a qualified comrade-in-arms, and if he fights as a team, he will even kill his own comrades. But in the face of death, he would rather go to the appointment alone than drag down a few other companions. This made Xu Mo also awe-inspired, this nerd mage was a respectable person.

Xu Mo was about to beckon Bridget to land on the ground, when suddenly the two griffins leaned back, each climbing high into the air, and a rapid and sharp chirp came out from the beak.

"Hey, what's wrong with them?" Xu Mo and several others hurriedly grabbed the reins, they were all a little surprised, this situation happened for the first time in a few days.

"They've spotted the enemy!" Amira, who was sitting behind Xu Mo, rubbed her nose and muttered to herself.

"Adversary?" Xu Mo was a little puzzled, if you want to talk about the hostile, when they flew at low altitude along the way, it was not that they had not encountered fierce beasts, but the griffins did not have such a fierce reaction!

Could it be said? Xu Mo looked up sharply ahead, put the detection system of the Iron Blood Mask to the limit distance, and finally saw two small red dots, flying rapidly from a distance.

Griffons have much better eyesight than creatures that live on the ground, and at this point, even the Elven Ranger can't compare to them, so they spot hostile flying objects first.

As the two red dots approached rapidly, Xu Mo also saw their appearance clearly.

It's a chilling, mighty creature with wavy red scales glowing in the morning sun of dawn, huge bat wings gliding smoothly through the air, and hideous lizards with cold-blooded vertical pupils on their heads, sharp teeth like steel knives, and two sharp horns on the back of their heads.

Dragon! Xu Mo let out a low wail. Tyran and Bridget once said in the inn that Necrus, the orc leader of the Dragonmaw Clan, used an artifact to control Alexstrasa, the Red Dragon Queen. Grimbaatar and the Wilderness Wetlands both have such dangerous aerial monsters, but Xu Mo doesn't think so.

Because of the scarcity of red dragons, they are used as a strategic deterrent weapon at most, and Xu Mo didn't think that the air in the wilderness and wetlands would be full of such monsters. But now they have just entered the wilderness wetland, and they have won the lottery directly.

A realization rose in Xu Mo's heart, this was probably a sign that the Dragonthroat Clan had completely controlled the Wilderness Wetlands and Grimbaatar. It was no coincidence that the two red dragons were here, they were supposed to be stationed near the boulder dam, and they took off to intercept them after seeing them cross the boulder dam.

The Red Dragon is stationed at the Boulder Dam, which means that the Dragonmaw Clan is ready to invade Roquemodan or Twilight Heights. At the hotel, even the Lord of Fireplace Valley, Tyran, did not mention this information, which means that the alliance is not aware of this situation.

This is definitely a big piece of information, as long as there is this information......

Xu Mo was thinking of this, and his soul mark sounded a prompt message at the right time:

"Samsara No. 228, you have harvested a major enemy in the wilderness wetland, and the space has completed the hidden story mission by default: Ronin's mercenary. Reward for the first stage of the mission: 6000 credits, 8 skill points. The second stage of the mission has not met the conditions and cannot be opened yet, please contact the legendary hero Mage Ronin quickly to start the second stage of the mission. ”

At this time, the others also discovered the existence of the red dragon, and everyone's faces turned a little pale. It's no wonder that the Wyvern is the absolute hegemon in the air, even if it is a powerful creature like the griffin, it is also no match for the Wyvern until there is no absolute superiority in numbers. As for Xu Mo and the others, they have no chance of winning.

The two griffons instinctively climbed upwards to avoid the red dragon, but they knew they had to land or they would die. So, they tightened the reins and forced the griffons to land on the ground.

The two red dragons flew closer and closer, and the scales on their bodies began to be clearly visible. Within half a mile of the griffin, the two red dragons swooped down on the griffin to the left and right.

At this point, Xu Mo resigned himself to resigned himself to loosening the reins and letting the griffin fly freely. Both the griffon and the red dragon are air supremacies, but the griffons are smaller and more agile, and the over-maneuvering of the rider limits the griffon's combat capabilities.

"Whew!" The griffin under Xu Mo's seat hovered sharply, dodging a pounce from the red dragon. The strong wind brought by the red dragon bat's wings cut Xu Mo's face like a sharp blade. When the two staggered, Xu Mo seemed to see the sarcasm and disdain revealed in the red dragon's cunning vertical pupils.

The four beasts in the air were entangled and flew up and down. "Whew!" Suddenly, the red dragon that attacked Winlessa and Bridget let out an angry dragon roar.

Looking intently, Xu Mo found that one of the eyes of the red dragon was actually closed tightly, and there was an emerald green long arrow inserted in the fiery red eyelid, and the dragon blood shining red kept dripping down the shaft of the arrow.

"Good!" Xu Mo couldn't help but let out a cheer, he was played by the red chinchilla for a long time, and it was time for the two big lizards to wake up.

"Whew!" As if enraged by what happened to his companion, the red dragon on Xu Mo's side roared angrily, flapping its wings and hovering in the air, opening its mouth wide, and a fiery red flame lit up in the depths of its throat.

"Does the red dragon breathe?" Xu Mo stared at the flame light, and the pea cannon on his shoulder also flickered with a bright light cluster at the same time.

"Boom!" The monster in front of Xu Mo burst out a thick cloud of black smoke in its throat, and its breath was detonated by a particle pulse cannonball in its throat before it could be breathed. The red dragon roared and tumbled down from the air, and the dragon's blood was sprinkled in midair.

Just when Xu Mo was overjoyed, thinking that he had killed a red dragon and could beat the other, the red dragon flapped its wings twice and rose into the air again.

The red dragon's mouth kept dripping dragon blood, and even a few steel-knife-like teeth were broken, and the scarlet dragon's eyes flashed with hatred, staring at Xu Mo on the back of the griffin.

The red dragon, who was injured by Xu Mo, flapped its wings and glided in a graceful arc in the air, sliding towards the back of the griffin. Xu Mo's heart sank, and he looked at Wen Leisa and Britte, who were also in danger, and he knew that the two red dragons who had been taught a lesson had finally begun to get serious.

They have lost their last chance......
