"Arrows, arrows!" was supposed to be a step-by-step hunting work, because of Offimio's sudden movements, and it was a mess. Due to the location of the interception net quite close to the mudflats, the heavy solid iron arrows used by the ballistas had been stored in the camp to avoid rusting and losing sharpness, so the mercenaries had to hurry over with a dozen or so thick arrows weighing one or two kilograms to make preparations.

"Throw stones, light the oil, help him!" the experienced Juan did not panic in this situation, and he decisively ordered his men to light the small clay bottle containing grease and wrapped in sackcloth and throw it out. This is not a hunting tool, but a creature invented by mercenaries over the years to terrorize the behemoths when escaping, but as we mentioned earlier, the Aya Basiosaurus is a fairly territorial dragon creature that overcomes its instinct for fire and bites down on Euphemio with several small pools of flame after being violated and disturbed in the process of laying eggs.

"Click!" It was an omnivore rather than a real carnivore, and the structure of its head meant that Aya Basiosaurus was not able to see with both eyes at the same time, and the result was that it did not have three-dimensional vision like predators, so the misjudgment of the direction caused the basiosaur not to bite down on the body of Ofimio who was sitting on the ground - but it was enough to scare him out of the tongue as literally.

The camp was chosen downwind, and the wind naturally blew from the lakeside on the west side, and with an embarrassing noise and foul smell, the crotch of the Ofimio khaki adventurer's cotton and linen trousers was dyed brown - but the situation was urgent, and there was no time to despise or ridicule him, and life was at stake, and Juan made a quick decision despite the same nervousness in their hearts.

"Martinez! Milan, go help those little ones!" The more experienced veteran hunter made a decisive decision when the squad leader Gironimo was still hesitating, and he transferred the orange mercenaries on the front line back to help the newcomers who couldn't even operate the ballista well because of their nervousness - the interceptor net, a device that required step-by-step cooperation, had failed, and the only thing that could stop the raging Aya snake dragon was a powerful weapon.

Gironimo and another hunting mercenary with a huge weapon were still hesitating, although the weight of the weapon in their hands was enough to stop a mad buffalo, but an Aya snake dragon had the weight and size of five or six buffaloes.

"Prepare for rescue!" The dozen or so people in front of them were busy, and the remaining few free mercenaries in the back were a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do, and they naturally had the idea of going up to help, but unlike dealing with humans, they didn't know how to deal with such crazy beasts at all, even if they went up, it would only be a disadvantage.

"Captain!" Juan shouted to Gironimo, and then pointed to Euphimio, who had managed to get up but was so weak that he could not even run away - the snake dragon approached him further, this time he could not avoid it, Gerónimo gritted his teeth and hesitated for a moment, and Euphimio's incompetence made him now begin to weigh whether to save the young man - and it was at this moment that the snake dragon once again shook its clumsy but huge body and rushed forward-

Fortunately, Juan's command was issued in a very timely manner, and it was at this moment that the old orange mercenaries who took over the operation of the ballista on the left quickly completed the winding action, took a rough aim, and fired an arrow in this direction.

"Bang !" the moment the crossbow machine released its torsional force, the bowstring slapped heavily on the frame, and the two-kilogram heavy iron arrow made a whistling sound, directly hitting the huge target only twenty meters away.

"Ahh The ballista that could not be adjusted because of the huge torque was released, and the arrow shot out was not able to hit the abdomen or other vital points, but hit the shoulder blade close to the spine, Aya Snake Dragon not only had tough skin, but also very strong bones, the iron long arrow was stuck in the muscle of its left shoulder, and the red and hot blood immediately flowed down the skin of the blue flower on a white background to the wrinkled left foot, Jerónimo and another orange mercenary seized the opportunity of the snake dragon to stop in pain, and rushed up to rescue Euphimio, But the appearance of two more big men made the snake dragon hold the pain stiffly, and the vertical pupil in the golden eyes shrank, and then the left hind limb obviously bent the part of the knee.

"It's not good, pounce quickly!" Juan deserved to be the most experienced hunting expert in the team, he judged the change of situation from just one action, Gironimo and another orange mercenary quickly rushed over, and one flew and took Ofimio and the three of them pounced face down in the mudflats in an embarrassed posture like dogs. Because of the huge inertia of the movement, the giant weapons of both men flew out and fell into the dirt in front of them, and they lost the only weapon they had to fight, but the decision was still the right one-

Because in the next moment, the Aya snake dragon, who was bent on his left foot and turned sideways, straightened his body and directly threw the long tail behind him as a thick whip. "Boom, boom!!" The small tree that Opiumio was leaning on was directly torn in half by it, and if the three of them hadn't fallen down, I was afraid that the flesh and bones had been separated by the smoke at this time, and the whole person would have been cut in two.

"Boom!--Aya hiss--" The distinctive cry was accompanied by a "hiss" trilling sound like a rattlesnake's wagging tail from its slender neck, and the ballista on the side near the lake was too far away, and the right side was stuck in the trees, and the perspective was now being struggling to adjust by several young mercenaries - the only thing that could be used was a ballista, and such cover was completely insufficient - Juan turned his head, he needed all the strength he could use at this moment.

"Torches, take torches!" He roared loudly at Henry and the other free mercenaries behind him, and the small clay bottle that burned briefly and was quickly extinguished by the wet dirt did not have much effect, and the Aya snake dragon in a frenzied state began to turn its long neck again after a flick of its tail to find a target, and in this case, Jerónimo and another orange mercenary could only abandon their weapons, and they supported Euphilio, who had weak feet and a pale face, and ran towards the snake dragon's vicinity decisively.

"Whoa!" The wound on the left shoulder was still bleeding, and the slender neck could not make a large turn, which at this moment caused the snake dragon's vision to be limited, and the three of them seized this blind spot to seek survival from the crisis, and quickly rushed out from its front, while at the same time, the ballista behind them also finished winding through the roller group and fired another thick arrow.

"Bang--Aya-hiss-!" The arrow that hit the left side of the rib pierced deeply, causing great damage that made the Aya snake dragon visibly wilt, the behemoth's skin was now stained with bits and pieces of dark red blood, and it began to look physically exhausted and shook its wolf-sized head, but it was at this time that the free mercenaries ran over with torches.

"Stand back now!" "All stand back!" The two words were shouted from the mouths of Henry and Juan, the hunting ground is the battlefield, and the battlefield is always changing, the torch used in the last moment can also be used as a tool to intimidate and build momentum, but at this moment, it has even more inspired the madness of the trapped beast in the heart of the Aya snake dragon.

The yellow-green pupils were bloodshot with a series of emotions of pain, fear, and anger, and the sage and several other free mercenaries decisively threw away the torches in their hands and threw them down on the spot, and then quickly scattered to the left and right, and in the next moment, the multi-ton Aya snake dragon took a non-vigorous step and rushed straight towards their group.

"Plop-thump-" Because of the haste of her movements, the gray-haired Luo'an girl's hair was covered with a lot of mud and scattered, but she didn't care at all at this moment, and as soon as she got up, she turned her head and ran towards the group of people towards the camp of the group with many deep footprints.

"Shh

"Hiss!" The horses and mules whose reins were tied to the trunk of the tree fell into a panic because of the sprint of the giant beast and wanted to escape, but they were pulled in place, unable to restrain the inertia, and the snake dragon directly stepped on the tent and wooden table and a lot of supplies before it could stop, and the mercenaries of more than 20 people had no way to take this multi-ton big guy, and finally carried Opimio to Geronimo near Juan, and just gasped for breath, he saw the snake dragon turn his head to look at this side again.

The bloodshot left pupil that looked at this side was filled with incomprehension, pain, fear, and outright hatred for the tiny creatures in front of him who had prevented him from completing his offspring and gave him pain, and who had jumped out of nowhere.

-- This is an intelligent creature who, like human beings, knows hatred, knows pain, knows how to love and be loved. Although the number of snake dragon hunts is not rare, Gironimo still couldn't control himself for a moment when he read the complex and human emotions in those eyes—but it was only for a moment, and the next second, the experience of being a hunting mercenary forced him to reflect, because the snake dragon that had turned around once again rushed towards this direction with the last of its madness.

"Run, run away, run into the water, run up the hillside, scatter and run away!" the heavily dropped forelimbs staggered from the pain in his left shoulder, and the warm blood swayed on the dirt surface of the forest with the running motion, Gironimo turned his head and roared loudly, and Henry decisively picked up Mira, who was a little overwhelmed by the sight because she did not understand Lamanite.

Euphiumio's legs were still limp and unable to stand upright, and Juan glared at him hatefully, then grabbed the young man by the collar and pulled him to the other side - but the snake dragon seemed to recognize him, and as he ran, he immediately turned around and ran towards the old hunter and the young mercenary. This is not incomprehensible, because of the excessive fright and incontinence, the smell of Eufemio is the strongest, and as the first human to come out to provoke, the snake dragon with good intelligence naturally has the highest hatred for it.

"Stay here. Although Juan is experienced and also an orange card, he is old and frail after all, and seeing that he and Euphimio are about to be overtaken, Henry, who was nearby, decisively put down Mira and quickly rushed over, and then picked up the young mercenary with weak feet, and then grabbed the old hunting expert to help him speed up.

"Withdraw! Withdraw!" The sage's physical strength can be said to be worthy of his appearance, but the so-called giant kicks ten steps of ordinary people, and the speed at which the snake dragon, which is far larger than humans, runs at full speed, and the phoenix wood canopy that was used as a camouflage before has now become an obstacle to aiming, and in order to be able to quickly support his teammates to operate the ballista, the two orange mercenaries commanded the two green newcomers to quickly take away the branches in front.

The situation is urgent, but what they ignore is the fact that as a weapon that has hurt them one after another, the snake dragon has no less hatred for the existence of the ballista than Opimio.

Henry's direction of running was just near the ballista, aiming at the target moving at high speed was very difficult, after evacuating the canopy in front of them, the mercenaries immediately shot an arrow that failed to hit the snake dragon but landed on the ground behind it, and this sound that was quickly familiar with the pain naturally attracted the attention of the snake dragon, but just as it tried to force it to turn in the middle of the run again, everyone present heard the snake dragon let out the most painful wail in a while。

"Hiss-" The iron arrow on its injured left shoulder seemed to be stuck in the joint of the shoulder blade in the process of running, making the snake dragon's left foot immediately weak and staggering out of control, and the four mercenaries who were still winding the ballista were shocked and wanted to run around, but it was too late, too late, the left foot was weak, and the whole body of the snake dragon fell forward, because of the huge sprint inertia, the multi-ton body rolled directly towards this side.

"Ahh

"Bang-boom-"

When the dust settled, the dying snake dragon lay scarred on the dirt mound, and a sad thing happened, and a puddle of blood with some debris quickly flowed from under its body, and Juan, who probably guessed what it was all about, stomped his foot in anger, while Henry rudely threw the pale Ophimio to the ground, and then walked towards the dying snake dragon.

"Aya—"

The snake dragon, which could not even fully open its eyes, still had wisdom in its eyes that was not lost to humans, and it seemed to be aware of certain situations, although it was not known whether the lacrimal glands of the snake dragon would have an effect on emotions like humans, but everyone present could really see that the snake dragon shed a huge teardrop.

"I'll help you finish. Henry whispered to it, his language not Lamanite but Neoarchaic, and that among the other races such as elves and dwarves there was a special class called druids, and they excelled in communicating with animals.

The Neo-Argues, originally created and used by the Druids, are a magical language that is said to be able to speak their minds and transmit their thoughts to other races and animals that do not possess the ability to speak, and it is for this reason that they are condemned as heretics by the White Church along with the wizards who use them extensively.

But no matter what, the dying snake dragon closed its eyes serenely as if he had understood Henry's words.

The Sage pulled Kramer out of it, decisively and precisely ending the creature's suffering due to human stupidity.

There was silence as people slowly walked out of their hiding place, if not for the silent mourning of the snake dragon, but four mercenaries had been killed in the disaster. The rest of the battlefield was still being cleaned up, and many of the items destroyed in the camp needed to be counted, and Juan Sr. walked over and held out his hand to Henry. The sage understood what he was going to do, that ordinary weapons simply could not cut through the skin of the snake dragon so cleanly, so he handed Kramer to the other party.

Some of the heavy and oversized broadswords, which looked out of place in the hands of a hunter of medium stature, took out a piece of leather from his leather bag and covered Kramer's blade, holding only thirty centimeters at the tip, and using it as a dagger.

"Ahh Mira watched quietly as the old hunting expert "whoa-" skillfully sliced the snake dragon's belly with Henry's broadsword.

He rolled up his sleeves and groped right there, ignoring the blood.

Mira looked at the old hunting expert silently, and he just sat on the ground like that, ignoring the slippery intestines and blood that had slid out of his leather pants and boots, and just rummaged through them with all his heart.

"Go and bring two barrels. Henry turned his head to the white-haired Loan girl, and Mira was stunned for a moment, she didn't know what her teacher was trying to do, but she nodded anyway and ran over.

Mira, who was trotting and quickly retrieving two barrels from the rubble, had just walked over when she saw the expression on Old Juan's face change, his pupils widened at first, and then he let out a long sigh as if he had aged much in an instant.

The blood-stained hand was pulled out of the snake dragon's abdomen, holding another piece of broken eggshell.

"Because of the rupture of the dragon egg in the body caused by the fall, and then caused by the massive bleeding of the birth canal, the vitality of the snake dragon is very tenacious, but giving birth is an extremely risky thing for females of any race. Henn explained to Mira in a calm tone, his gaze unwavering and his expression as serene as ever.

The girl clenched her little fists, and the hunting expert in front of him, Juan, suddenly sped up his movements, as if he had discovered something valuable.

He rummaged through the huge snake dragon body for a long time, and finally even the whole person went straight into it, if it weren't for the feet that kept kicking, the people outside would almost suspect that the white-bearded old mercenary was suffocated in it.

It took two minutes for old Juan to pull out of it with dirt all over his body, holding two complete dragon eggs in his hands, Henry immediately turned around and lifted the two wooden barrels and ran to the lake near the lake filled with wet soil, and the moment Old Juan put the two dragon eggs in, he couldn't stop crying.

"We're doing evil!" A nest of snake dragons that can lay more than twenty dragon eggs is only two, and if they are left in the wild without numerical advantage, they will only become a meal for carnivores, as if to atone for their sins, old Juan decided to put them in wooden barrels, and bring the only two dragon eggs that survived the catastrophe caused by humans back to the town.

There was silence in the woods, and no one could say anything at this time, and everyone just watched in silence until another cacophony of voices from the camp caught their attention.

"Whew—it's so much more refreshing now. Opiumio, who had changed into a pair of pants and seemed to have taken a shower in passing, walked up to the crowd and tried to hide the embarrassment with a pale smile, but everyone, including his companions, just glared at him.

"You're a fellow! In this case, you still have the heart to run to take a shower and change your pants?!" Another young mercenary who had been with him in teasing Mira, but had not succeeded because he was not fluent in West Coast, shouted at Opimio, angry at the heartless appearance of the owner who had made a mess.

"Hey, Federo, you're not right, I can't wear a pair of pants that smell of!"

"And you see, didn't we succeed in hunting-" "Stomble-" "Smack-"

A loud slap reverberated throughout the woodland.

The petite white-haired girl had angry eyes and no intention of giving in.

"You're the worst kind of guy!" (To be continued.) )
