Chapter Twenty-Three: Life Hangs by a Thread

A red dragon's breath swept under the griffin's body, startling Xu Mo into a cold sweat. After the two red dragons were injured just now, their flight trajectory began to change unpredictably. With the accuracy of the pea cannon and the archery skills of the elven ranger, although they can still be shot, they can no longer hurt the eyes and throat.

The two griffons each carried two people, and at the beginning of the battle, they could flexibly dodge the red dragon's pounce and breath, but Xu Mo could feel their movements gradually sluggish, which was a sign that the griffon's physical strength was beginning to run out.

Xu Mo regretted it a little, the first time he rode a griffin to fight, he had no experience. Knowing that this would happen, he would command the griffons to fly close to the ground, and as soon as he spotted other flying creatures, he would land directly. At least on the ground, he had countless ways to hide himself from falling into this mortal situation.

And now, Xu Mo smiled bitterly and looked down, at least a thousand meters from the ground, this height fell, even MT would be dead, not to mention him a thin-skinned stalker.

Just when Xu Mo and the others were at a loss, in the distance behind the battle area, a black dot was flying rapidly. The speed of the black dot was extremely fast, and in a few breaths, it was already close to the combat area.

"Whew!" The griffons under Xu Mo had just escaped a flying dragon's breath when a black shadow shrouded them in front of them. The other red dragon actually abandoned Bridget and them, and together with the red dragon here, they attacked Xu Mo's griffin.

"Whoosh!" An emerald green arrow slammed into the red dragon's neck, and a palm-sized red scale was swept away by the fighting spirit contained in the shaft of the arrow, "Bang! With a bang, a blood flower bloomed on the red dragon's neck.

Wen Lesa's arrow had basically surpassed her previous highest level, and if it was replaced by another creature, it would be either dead or maimed. But a dragon is a dragon, and the huge body and defense make the damage caused by this arrow basically limited to the muscles in the dragon's neck, and failed to severely damage the arteries and trachea.

The red dragon's ferocious vertical pupils reflected the figures of Xu Mo and Amira, and the steel knife-like teeth shone with a bright cold light. Looking at the red dragon in front of him up close, Xu Mo's mind calmed down, and he knew that this time the griffin could no longer dodge the red dragon's pounce.

Xu Mo stood up in the saddle, his expression calmly stretched out his arms, the tip of St. Cice's nightmare blade aimed at the red dragon, and his eyes had turned into two brilliant rubies, shining with a cruel blood-red light.

Farewell, friends! It looks like it's all coming to an end! That's it, come on, the most powerful monster, Lao K's life is here, take it, exchange your life for it!

Time seemed to have slowed down at this moment, and Brigitte and Winresa on the other side, their pupils slowly dilated, their anxious faces opened their mouths, and they each stretched out their arms, fantasizing about pulling their fallen companions.

Amira closed her eyes and hugged Xu Mo's waist tightly, showing a hint of serenity on her round face. The Stalker's eyes were nothing but the red dragon, and the glowing Nightmare of St. Cesse rose into black flames, conjuring the head of the Demon God, and roaring at the dragon.

……

"Bang!" A huge black claw appeared at the side of the red dragon out of thin air, and its sharp claws plunged into the red dragon's abdomen and neck like a steel knife, and grabbed the red dragon like an eagle catching a chicken, and carried it away from the griffin's side.

A monstrous black giant beast appeared in front of Xu Mo's eyes, a huge body like steel, the red light of flames shining under the black dragon scales, the huge wings were like burning sails, and there seemed to be a bottomless darkness in the depths of the ferocious dragon pupils, with a deep and dead madness.

This is a black dragon with a body twice the size of a red dragon, the black dragon's hideous dragon head flashed in front of Xu Mo's eyes, and the evil dragon's eyes seemed to glance curiously at the black flame on Xu Mo's wrist blade.

The strong wind pressure almost caused Xu Mo, who was standing on the saddle, to fall off the griffin, and the stalker who had escaped death grabbed the saddle in amazement, watching this incredible scene.

In the wind, the red dragon's dying wail was heard, and the other red dragon let out a mournful roar, and flew away without looking back, giving up on saving his companions, as if he understood that he could not fight against this black dragon.

The black dragon grabbed the red dragon with one claw in the air and quickly walked away, as if the move of helping Xu Mo and the others just now was just a casual move. The people who had relieved the crisis were relieved at the same time, but they no longer dared to let the griffin continue to hover in the air, and hurriedly found a small slope and landed on the ground.

Bridget was lying on her back on the ground, her limbs trembling slightly, and the thrilling scene still kept coming to her mind. The others weren't much better than her, and only Amira, a heartless little guy, could still find the tortillas in her arms and stuff them into her mouth.

"Haha, I didn't expect us to be saved by Deathwing!" Bridget held her lower abdomen and laughed, her towering twin peaks trembling up and down with the laughter, and she swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.

"That black dragon just now is Deathwing, the former guardian dragon of the earth?" Xu Mo's eyes flashed and he asked curiously.

"Hehe, it must be him, now there is only one black dragon left in the world. He had no offspring, no spouse, and the other black dragons were all dead during the first invasion of the Burning Legion! Bridget replied in the affirmative.

"Hey, where's Ronin?" Wen Leisha breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly asked suspiciously.

"Huh? Luo Ning ......" Xu Mo calmed down, got up from the ground, and looked at the griffin he was riding, Luo Ning was hanging under his mount just now.

"He's gone!" Xu Mo pinched the rope in his hand and said bitterly.

This hanging rope is connected to the hanging basket, and now the lower end of the hanging rope has been scorched by the flames, and it is estimated that the breath of the red dragon has burned the hanging rope hanging from the hanging basket.

Looking at the broken rope, everyone fell silent, falling from that height, Luo Ning's magic could not save himself. There may be magic that can float in the air, but this kind of large-scale magic requires chanting time, and Ronin doesn't have that time to save himself.

"No, Luo Ning is not dead!" Wen Leisha suddenly frowned, remembering something.

"How is it possible, no magic at that height can save him unless he ......" Bridget scoffed at her rival, but soon frowned, and the clever female knight thought of a possibility.

"Unless Deathwing saves him!" A strange light flashed in Xu Mo's eyes. Of the three people, he is the only one who is 100% sure that Luo Ning is not dead, and the reason is very simple, because the second phase of his mercenary mission has neither been started nor canceled, and he still has to find Luo Ning to collect it.

"Yes, Deathwing has been using one claw against the Red Dragon just now, and the other claw has not been used!" Winetha frowned and remembered a detail from the battle.

"Deathwing is an enemy of all Alliance races in Azeroth, why would he save a human mage!" Bridget said with a cold face, "Unless Ronin is a traitor to the Alliance." ”

"Ronin is not a traitor!" Wen Leisha blushed and retorted angrily.

"Hmph, then why did he hide his true purpose for coming to Grimbaatar, I don't believe it, that reconnaissance mission is his mission!" Bridget sank her face, "Cole, elf chick, didn't you two find out he's been hiding something from us?" ”

Wen Resa was silent, and now, of course, she also discovered that Ronin's mission was not as simple as he said, and the addition of Deathwing made the truth confusing.

"Cole, what are you going to do, your hiring task is complete. Now come back to the Plaguelands with me, do you still want to help that traitor mage? Bridget turned her head and said to Xu Mo.

"Cole, Ronin won't be a traitor! Let's go find him, maybe he needs help now, and when we find him, we'll get out of here! Wen Leisha looked at Xu Mo expectantly, hoping to get the support of the stalker.

"Let me think about it!" Xu Mo pondered for a while and sat down quietly.

Now the situation is already obvious, Luo Ning's hidden plot mission should be an extremely difficult and important historical plot. Under Xu Mo's meticulous analysis, he quickly remembered the space's evaluation of Luo Ning-the legendary hero of mankind.

Since he can be called a legendary hero of mankind by space, this nerd can never be a traitor. Judging from getting along these days, Xu Mo also believes that Luo Ning is not a traitor. And Xu Mo also thought of another key point, you must know that Luo Ning is not called a hero by the world now, on the contrary, he is called "the disaster of Dalaran".

From disasters to legendary heroes, why the world's concept has changed drastically, then it can only be that Luo Ning has made earth-shattering feats in the original history. Without the intervention of the reincarnators, this history would undoubtedly run according to the original trajectory, and Ronin is still his legendary hero.

But now Azeroth has a large number of reincarnators involved, if the orc leader of the Dragonthroat Clan, Necruz, also has reincarnators around him, with the current strength of the enemy and the enemy, Ronin's probability of success is zero.

To help, or not to help! Xu Mo was a little hesitant for the first time in his heart, if he succeeded, he would be able to harvest a legendary-level historical plot mission, but the danger of intervening in this kind of task was too great.

Ronin is the protagonist of this history, and he will inadvertently get help from other plot characters, as evidenced by Deathwing. But now that he is involved in the reincarnation, his protagonist template has become invalid, and Xu Mo, as a reincarnation of the weak side, is in danger of death all the time.

Rich but in danger, Xu Mo understands this truth, he is not afraid of death, but now the life and death of Serna and the others are also maintained on him alone, he can't ignore this factor.

Since you can't decide, let someone else help you decide! Xu Mo sighed and handed over one of the dreadclaw eggs in the storage space to the space, and got 8,000 credits, 5 honor points, and two soul gems as a bestiary reward.

Xu Mo and Cerna have now shortened the distance by half, and the viscount title requires 200 honor points, and after submitting the dreadclaw egg, he now has 206 honor points, and the extra honor points can almost support him to make a short team call.

"Serna? What's going on on your end...... Well, I see! In that case......"
