In the midst of the sea of trees covered by giant trees, Hayatta ran fast.

Her wheezing was heavy, dark red blood dripping from between her nostrils, and her eyelids were red—a sign of poisoning.

As for the source of the toxin, it was the huge claw mark on her back.

The tough leather armor made of strange dragon leather could not resist the poisonous claws of the terrifying blue wyvern.

If the scratches were any deeper, her spine could have been severed.

Drill between two large adjacent trees.

Put your hopes in the lush umbrella-like canopy and intricate branches, hoping that their presence will temporarily stop the pursuit of the monster behind you.

Hayatta leaned against the trunk of the tree, gasping hard.

Her lungs are constantly trapping oxygen from the air, trying to send it into her bloodstream and transport it throughout her body.

However, the oxygen-carrying capacity of the toxin-infected blood decreased dramatically, and the lack of oxygen and blood loss made her eyes black for a while, and she didn't know how long she could last.

This brutal chase has been going on for almost a day and a night.

Yesterday at noon, when the target was not the male fire dragon, but the blue fire dragon that was much more dangerous than the former, Hayatta chose to retreat as soon as possible.

It's a pity that with her keen sense of smell and vision, the fire dragon discovered her existence as she walked through the trees.

The hunt began.

As a subspecies of male fire dragons, the fire dragon, which grew up in an extremely harsh environment, had an almost distorted hatred for territorial invaders.

- Never give up without killing the invaders.

And as long as the hunter has faced the fire dragon, they will have similar feelings - the "king of the sky" is the male fire dragon? No, if it weren't for the fact that the number of Fire Dragons was too scarce, this reputation should have been the latter!

The Fire Dragon has a flight ability that far exceeds that of ordinary male fire dragons, and this ability is not mainly reflected in the flight speed and altitude.

Rather, it is reflected in the more agile flying skills that can be used to toss and turn between the giant trees of the sea of trees, and the ability to stay in the air that can be called madness.

This guy can stay in the air all the time, almost without landing on the ground, and the volley claw attack called "Heavenly Remnant Foot" by hunters is even more unguardable.

At first, after discovering that she could not escape the pursuit of the dragon, Hayatta also tried to fight back.

The flashbang he carried with him successfully caused the dragon to fall to the ground.

Hayatta was excited at first, but when she rushed up and brandished the slashing knife and ate a "clanging" meal, she began to realize that it was impossible to fight back.

There is no way to break the defense.

The electricity attached to the attack of the slashing knife can cause a little damage to the fire dragon, but it is like stabbing someone with a dead branch.

Nothing other than making the dragon even angrier.

The following day, Hayatta tried to run past the camp, but was stopped by the Fire Dragon.

She tried to borrow the lush vegetation in the sea of trees to stop the fire dragon's pursuit, but the latter's light flying between the giant trees was much easier than hers.

Flashbangs have saved her a few times, but the number of flashbangs is limited.

After repeated use, the blinding effect became worse and worse, and the fire dragon, who was stunned and fell to the ground several times, became more and more angry.

When the flashbang is depleted, what awaits her is a hand-to-hand fight.

The famous "Heavenly Remnant Foot" made her tired of parrying and dodging, and she had no power to fight back at all, and a mistake caused her to suffer a heavy injury.

The toxins on the claws of the fire dragon are also more violent than those of the male fire dragon.

Even if all the antidote is drunk, it can only reduce the impact of the toxin to the point where it will not be fatal for a short time, but it will never be completely eradicated.

You can only keep dodging, keep running, and when you are caught up, you try to maneuver for a while, and then look for an opportunity to continue to escape.

I'm injured, I'm tired, and I don't have time to rest, so I can only use the recovery medicine to support myself, and now, the full base recovery medicine has also been used up.

Perhaps, this is really the end.

Hayatta closed her eyes and pursed her chapped lips.

This sense of powerlessness reminded her of the scene when she was attacked by the Blue Speed Dragon a few years ago, when she was not a hunter.

That's when I was saved by Gordon's seniors.

"Boom!"

The breath of a blazing fireball shattered a large tree.

The blue shadow in mid-air rolled up its wings and spun around, and then deftly slipped through the space exposed by the fallen trees to reach Hayata.

The smell of sulfur mixed with the fishy wind came to the face.

Hayatta slowly breathed steadily, and under her hooded helmet, she opened her emerald green eyes.

"I'm no longer the little girl in the lace dress I used to be."

She whispered to herself.

"I'm a hunter."

With a clear clang, the slender blade of the slashing knife slid out of the scabbard, and with a turn of the sword's light, the tip of the sword pointed straight at the Canghuo Dragon.

The fire dragon suspended in the air roared and swooped down, clawing at the hunter with venom claws.

Hayatta leaped and swung her robe slash, sliding backwards with the force of the dragon's claw.

Seeing the other claw of the Fire Dragon grabbing it, she immediately rolled forward, dodging the claw strike while getting up and stabbing it.

"Zila!"

The tip of the slashing knife was slid open by the scales, a gap that could not be bridged by will and courage alone.

But she still wouldn't give up.

The blade of the sword was raised, and it was bounced away again, and it rolled sideways to avoid the bite of the fire dragon, and after getting up, he continued to slash back, flicking the knife, slashing the robe, and continuing to flick the knife.

The flicking knife cracked her tiger's mouth again and again, but the kind of "sword momentum" that belonged to the Taidao envoy was constantly accumulating.

It's time.

Hayata's eyes froze, and the crimson blade of qi condensed at her blade, dragging illusory light and shadow as the sword swung.

Air Slash!

Several swords broke out in an instant at the claws of the fire dragon in mid-air.

The crimson blade attached to the blade sliced through its scales, leaving several shallow wounds more than half a meter long.

"Roar!" The Fire Dragon let out a roar of rage.

It hurts.

A satisfied smile tugged at the corner of Hayata's mouth, and that was all she could do.

As for what was to come, she had been aware of it since the day she decided to become a hunter.

The fire dragon glared angrily at the self-defeating guy in front of him, his venom-filled claws wide open, flapping his giant wings, and preparing to launch a new round of offensive.

However, at this moment, the piercing horn whistle sounded abruptly from the sea of trees.

"Doot~Doot~Doo~"

The fire dragon's attention was partially distracted by the sound of horn horns.

A tall figure rushed out of the shadow of the tree, stabbed obliquely in front of the fire dragon, turned around in a staggered step, and raised the great sword upward.

The crimson blade slashed at the fire dragon's jaw, swinging the giant skull apart and bringing out a bead of blood.

The sudden attack of enemies and attacks caused the dragon to panic slightly, and it quickly flapped its wings and pulled back some distance, staring warily at the comer.

Hayatta was a little unresponsive, and the familiar scene made her mouth open in a daze.

"Huh?"

Hearing this stupid sound, Gordon subconsciously wanted to teach two lessons.

"Hey, get out of the way! Pork chops! Feed her Kampo medicine, and then take her back to the camp first! ”

"Got it!"
