Chapter 166: Siege
If you don't include the extraordinary-level creature like Lan Long into the discussion, the emerald water dragon in front of him is definitely the largest monster Gordon has ever seen, and there is no one.
His height of nearly two meters is already outstanding among humans, but he can't even match a pair of hind legs of the emerald water dragon.
In the past, scholars classified the emerald water dragon, which was scarce in number and far larger than the average water dragon, as a subspecies of water dragon.
It was only in recent years, with the gradual deepening of research, that scholars of the Scholar Corps put forward another idea, which was finally confirmed:
- The emerald water dragon and the water dragon belong to the same kind of creature, and the former is just a "middle-aged and elderly" individual in the group.
Like many creatures living in the water and in the sea, the water dragon continues to grow in size as it ages.
When they enter middle and old age in their life stage, not only will their size and strength gradually increase, but their scales will also transform into a bright green color similar to algae, and they will become more tenacious, and their comprehensive strength will completely reach the level of Wyvern monsters.
This is also the reason why ordinary water dragon individuals are defined as three-star monsters, while emerald water dragons can reach five-star.
On the banks of the Great River.
The battle between the two hunters and the emerald water dragon has officially begun.
Taking advantage of the fact that Azi was the first to draw the attention of the emerald water dragon, Gordon quickly dashed to its feet - for swordsmen, burrowing under oversized monsters to "pedicure" was the right thing to do.
The step stopped, and the great sword made a vertical swing and drew the sword to slash.
The flame-covered blade of the Male Fire Dragon Flame Sword successfully broke through the scales of the Emerald Water Dragon's leg, leaving a scorched black scar.
The attacks continue.
Lifting the knife up, picking up and chopping, and then twisting the waist and staggering another blow and horizontal slashing, completing a set of tentative combos.
From those few wounds that were not too deep, Gordon probably judged the "fleshiness" of the emerald water dragon.
The scales are very hard, the skin and flesh are also quite tough, and the defense is generally a whole level stronger than the water dragon, but it is also within the scope of the sharpness of the male fire dragon Yanjian Blue Slash (Craftsman).
Gordon, who had completed his tentative attack, was ready to temporarily withdraw his knife and retreat.
Usually at this time, the monsters that reacted will launch a counterattack, and the gains of greedy knives outweigh the losses.
However, this time, he was surprised to find that the emerald water dragon's attention was still firmly attracted to Azi, and he didn't care about him at all.
Due to his love of "fishing", Azi is very familiar with the habits of ichthyosaurus sea dragon monsters, and water dragons are no exception.
Unlike most terrestrial creatures, whose eyes face forward, the eyes of water dragons are like those of fish, growing on the sides of their heads.
Such eyes have a wider field of vision, and even things behind them can be included in the fundus, but on the other hand, they are much less sensitive to frontal vision.
In the water, the water dragon can compensate for this defect by swinging its body and head during swimming.
But on shore, it's not so flexible.
Taking advantage of this small physical defect, Aziz stood directly in front of the emerald water dragon, and the spear in his hand stabbed the latter's jaw one by one.
Every time the water dragon twisted his neck to the side to see him clearly, he slid away with a nimble side-slip step, returning to the blind spot of the water dragon's field of vision, and continued to attack, so that the water dragon had no time to care about anything else.
In this way, Gordon only needs to pay attention to the emerald dragon's feet that move from time to time, be careful not to be stepped on, and calmly prepare for the charge slash.
So what else is there to say?
Charge 1st, 2nd, 3rd, release!
The Male Fire Dragon Yan Sword slashed down, leaving a much deeper wound on the Emerald Water Dragon's leg than before.
Change your attitude, continue to charge your strength, and charge your strength strongly!
"Drink!" With a low snort from Gordon.
The scales and skin muscles of the emerald water dragon's calves were torn open by the flame sword, and the blood flowed incessantly.
Such an attack finally made the emerald water dragon feel unbearable pain.
It spun to its feet, its howling fins and tail sweeping around, trying to get the annoying creature out of it.
Gordon, who had been prepared, turned to the side a little, and flashed the legs of the emerald water dragon, and he didn't care about the tail flick that was much higher than the top of his head.
It's a disadvantage to being too big, can you still touch me with this fish tail?
Gordon chuckled and was swept away.
“.”
"Hey, hey! You okay! Azzy shouted nervously.
Gordon, who got up with a dirty face, shook his head and responded, "Ahem, I'm fine!" ”
Fortunately, Feng Ying is not here, otherwise her cheap master will lose her face a little bit.
I thought that the tail of the fish that could only swing from side to side of the green water dragon couldn't touch me, but the air flow driven by the tail fin alone lifted itself away.
What is this? Alternate dimension flicking? (WTM can't think of a more reasonable explanation)
Gordon, who had a new understanding of the strength of the Emerald Water Dragon, decided to be more cautious.
But before he could get close enough to the water dragon, the latter suddenly jumped to his feet, fell to the ground, and writhed like a fish swimming in water, and began to glide forward.
With the combined effect of mucus secreted from the abdomen and strong muscles, the emerald water dragon erupted at a high speed that did not match its size - this is a gliding dragon car unique to ichthyosaurs!
Gordon, who was in his path of impact, immediately ran wildly.
With the size of the emerald water dragon, a simple roll or flutter cannot avoid the range of the dragon car in time.
The tension of a giant beast more than 20 meters long and weighing hundreds of tons roaring past him is something that no one who has ever experienced it can never imagine.
Gordon, who had escaped with his life, breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily, the Emerald Water Dragon's main purpose doesn't seem to be to kill itself, otherwise it would have greatly reduced its chances of escaping if it had slightly modified its path.
As Gordon had guessed, the real target of the Emerald Water Dragon was indeed not him, but the great river not far away.
The blow to its legs made it realize that ground combat was not its forte, and that it was only when it returned to the water that it was its home turf!
The distance of tens of meters is a flash for the emerald water dragon in high-speed gliding.
After a huge splash, it has burrowed into the river and disappeared without a trace.
"Be careful! It didn't leave! Azi, who realized what the emerald dragon was going to do, reminded Gordon loudly.
At the same time, he hurried to the bank of the river and set up a shield to keep guard.
In the past year, Gordon, who had also hunted monsters such as water dragons, clearly understood their temperament, so he immediately ran behind Az, also set up his big sword, and entered a defensive stance.
As they expected.
A few seconds after the green water dragon entered the river, it poked up half of its body from the river in a loud splashing sound.
The triangular mouth was wide open, and a stream of water that was only a dozen centimeters in diameter but surging with extraordinary power swept towards the hunters on the shore.
"Zila!"
The breath swept across Az's giant shield, making a sharp metal crack.
Defending with all his might, Azi was knocked back several meters and was almost unable to maintain a defensive stance.
But thanks to his efforts, Gordon behind him was only affected by the aftermath of his breath, and then blocked by the greatsword, unscathed.
The emerald water dragon fell back into the water, waiting for its next chance to attack.
Seeing that Az's internal organs had been impacted and needed to drink medicine to recover, Gordon immediately raised his sword in front of him, his eyes vigilant, staring at the huge fin that was wandering and swimming on the surface of the river.
At this moment, the voice of pork chops came from afar, "Meow is coming down!" ”
Gordon was pleasantly surprised: "Pork chop! Is there a sonic boom? I'm going to blow that guy out of the water! ”
"Meow? No sonic boom meow prepared! ”
After pouring a bottle of recovery medicine, Azi, who had recovered his strength, wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Ha! Water battles are also better! Wait here, watch and get it out! ”
Ps. The remaining two chapters today are still in old time, paralyzed.
