"What does your brother mean when he says that the dragon king is still weak?"

At the meeting a few days ago, Ian asked Xiu this. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It just means that you haven't fully grown up yet. Xiu replied, "Every species has its growth period, even if it is as powerful as the Dragon King. The more powerful the species, the longer the growth period, such as humans, who take at least a decade from birth to maturity. The dragon king needs longer, and the current dragon king, although it can't be said that he is still a baby, is still in early childhood. ”

"So the Dragon King will be relatively much weaker?"

"It's just relative, that's right, the strength of the dragon king at this time and the fully mature dragon king is indeed far behind. ”

"In what ways can you see it?"

"Many, many things, for example, it may not be able to fly yet, and the dragon wings haven't grown enough to support its massive body. For example, its bite force is definitely not as good as that of the mature stage, and it is also Long Yan, and the Dragon King at this time should not have mastered Long Yan. Xiu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, I'm not sure how far Naga has grown. It stands to reason that it is not fully ripe yet, but it is likely that he is very close to maturity. ”

"If it masters Long Yan, do we still have a chance of winning?"

"I don't know much about this, after all, I haven't seen Long Yan. I only heard an old hunter introduce me a long time ago, a fully fledged five-star dragon clan who had unleashed dragon flames. It was hundreds of degrees of heat, and the impact was like a wild horse. If it is the dragon king Naga, as the king of fire, there must be a high temperature of thousands of degrees, and the impact power is not comparable to the five-star dragon clan. Xiu paused, and then looked at Ian seriously, "Having said so much, it means that if Naga really masters the Dragon Flame, you can run." After all, you and Nicole are just junior hunters, and even if the mission fails, it doesn't have much to do with you. ”

......

Running? Can you still run away? How can you still run when almost all the mid-level and high-level hunters have fallen? Whether it was ten years ago or just now, Ian didn't think that anyone could really resist the dragon flame, but now, Eric was carrying Erin's shield and walking towards Naga step by step against the dragon flame.

The brownish-green Erin shield, under the impact of the dragon flame, was slowly transforming into a dark red, just like the sword embryo forged in the fire, slowly melting in the scorching heat. And Eric, holding such a shield aloft aloft in the air, took another step forward.

His two arms were also blurred in the heat, and the skin on his arms was falling down little by little, revealing the red flesh and the white bones on the flesh.

But he's still moving on.

Nicole, who was hiding behind Eric, was already crying so much that she couldn't bear to look at it with her eyes closed. Dennis's face was also unusually pale, and apparently he didn't expect Eric to actually be able to advance in the dragon flame. He reached out and tried to help Eric share the impact of the dragon flame, but as soon as his palm touched Erin's shield, a few bubbles were burned by the scorching heat.

"And, twenty meters. Eric muttered, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth. He looked delirious, but he still remembered the rest of the distance.

Ian looked at Eric's back and felt that every step he took was on his heart.

Eventually, Eric carried it until Long Yan stopped, but he couldn't take a step forward anymore. Both Erin's shield and his hands were completely deformed, and then he collapsed in a pool of blood, only Erin's shield, which had been turned black by dragon flames, still standing.

"Eric!" Nicole ran to Eric, hugged his head, and said with a crying voice, "You can't die! ”

Eric opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't, and the moment he opened his mouth, blood poured down his throat.

"You're already the strongest hunter. Dennis took Eric's deformed hand and whispered, "You're the strongest hunter of all of us. ”

Eric smiled, struggling to smile, emitting a few muffled bytes, before struggling to his feet.

"Enough, enough. Dennis patted Eric on the cheek, "It's thirty meters enough." ”

Eric didn't struggle anymore, he grinned, his pupils slowly dilated. Dennis felt Eric's hot body slowly getting colder, and soon, his hands lost a little strength and hung to the ground.

"Let's go, Eric. Dennis gently closed Eric's eyes, and with the only hand he could move, he drew his sword again, and stood in front of Eric and Nicole, looking directly at the Dragon King.

Because of the two consecutive use of Dragon Flame, Naga's body was already very tired. The noble golden pupils had dimmed a lot because of this, but the anger in its heart had only increased, and it couldn't bear that after it had released the dragon flame twice, there was still a hunter standing in front of him, wielding a sword.

So it stared at Dennis with those golden eyes, the last of its weakest foes.

Ian felt as if he had been forgotten by the world, and the dragon king Naga no longer paid too much attention to him, perhaps because he felt that he was just a good-for-nothing person. Dennis became the last hunter standing in the Kingkiller Squad, standing under the nose of the Dragon King. And Ian, he didn't know what he was now, he hadn't done anything from the time he entered the volcano until now, he just watched one hunter after another fall, but he couldn't do anything about it.

It's a nasty feeling, just like it was ten years ago. Frightened by his fears, he wanted to do something but found that he couldn't. He looked at Eric's body not far away, and he was surprised to find that Eric had left with a smile on his face.

"Hunter, never back!"

Ian still seemed to hear Eric say it.

"I'm just going to show everybody that I'm better than everybody. ”

"A true hunter should be calm at all times. ”

"I'm the strongest hunter. ”

Ian silently took the mint leaf out of his mouth, and he felt the heat all over his body, as if it was about to burn. Hot, very hot, hot he took off his clothes, revealing a body that was not very strong.

"Can you be a hero by never backing down? Mom. ”

"Well, at least the heroes will never back down. ”

Ian whispered, "But I don't want to be a hero right now, I just want to do something." ”

Do something, then do it.

Ian looked down at the Dragon Flame Marker on his right arm and said, "How much strength does it take to defeat Naga?" Give it all to me, I'm willing to give everything for this." ”

In the next moment, the World Tree behind Ian began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye. It quickly spread to every corner of his back, and soon, the small green sapling grew into a large tree that was enough to reach the sky. The dragon flame mark on his right arm also wriggled as if it were burning, like the fiercest fire.

Ian looked up, his red eyes looking like he could squeeze out blood.
