Probably because of the severity of his own injuries, the speed of the Ice Curse Dragon's flight was not too fast.

It was certainly impossible to catch up with the volley with the speed of the sour-wing dragon, but with the smell of dyed fruits diffusing in the air, it was not easy for the ice dragon to completely shake them off.

Taking a deep breath, Feng Ying felt a little nostalgic.

There is a custom of domesticating Fumu rabbits in the Land of Fire, and there is never a need to use dyed balls and dyed bullets.

This made her "run away from home" back then, and she had no training in this area at all.

During her time in Minagard, Master Gordon and the others wasted a lot of effort in training her to recognize the smell of dyed fruits.

Although I hadn't been exposed to it in years, the slightly pungent smell was still firmly engraved in my mind.

In this way, the hunters rode the pterosaur from the large lava lake in the core area of the Lava Mountain Canyon, and pursued all the way to the edge of the volcanic zone, where it met the ancient tree forest.

As we move away from the geothermal fissures and lava rivers that can be found everywhere in the lava canyons, the heat flow in the air disappears, the temperature around us decreases, and the humidity in the air increases.

The shade of the trees that come into view is pleasing to the eye, and the wind blowing on the face is particularly cool.

But the hunters were not happy.

For them, the extremely hot and dry environment of the volcanic zone is naturally a problem, but isn't that a restriction for the Ice Dragon?

In a hostile environment, fight against an ancient dragon whose abilities have been severely weakened, or in a relatively comfortable environment, fight against an ice dragon that freely wields its frost abilities?

They prefer the former.

"——!"

In the face of the hunters' relentless pursuit, the ice dragon flying high in the air let out a roar of rage, flipped its wings deftly, and swooped down towards the hunters.

"Spread out! Decline! Hayatta immediately shouted.

Amid the exclamations of the hunters, the sour pterosaur flew away in panic.

The only thing to be thankful for is that in order to deal with the emergency situation of this ice dragon suddenly turning around and attacking, they always maintain an altitude of tens of meters above the ground and fly at a low altitude.

It can land quickly, not hanging in the air, and withstand the attack without resistance.

"Feng Ying be careful! It's headed for you! Predicting the swooping path of the Ice Dragon, Hayatta shouted as a reminder.

Feng Ying tugged hard at the rope, trying to manipulate the sour-winged dragon to turn sharply.

However, the Ice Dragon's flight posture was frighteningly nimble, its body length was almost ten times that of the Sour Pterodactyl, and its turning movements were even more dexterous than the latter.

The claws that resembled a bird of prey spread wide, threatening to envelop Feng Ying and the sour pterosaur.

Just as the claws were about to close, Feng Ying decisively let go of the hook lock, broke off from the acid pterodactyl, and fell downward.

The sour pterosaur could only let out a scream before it turned into a bloodied corpse under the claws of the Ice Dragon.

These talons may be a little powerless against the armor of the Explosive Shattering Dragon, but they are a deadly threat to Pterodactyls or creatures of human size.

The Ice Dragon threw away the corpse of the sour pterosaur, flipped over, and continued to pursue Feng Ying in free fall.

It knew very well that it didn't matter if it lived or died, and that it was the flightless hunters who could really pose a threat to it.

In the face of the attacking Ice Dragon, Feng Ying was very calm.

She even felt glad that the Ice Dragon's chosen target was her, not Hayatta or Aiden.

Because she is the only one who has the certainty of getting out of the desperate situation in front of her.

Faced with the sharp claws that enveloped her again, Feng Ying flicked her hand at the last moment and released the flying insects, and under the traction of the insect silk, the volley changed direction and flew out of the air for a distance.

Once again, he narrowly avoided the attack of the Ice Dragon.

The Ice Dragon obviously didn't expect the flightless humans to be able to change direction in the air, and when they tried to adjust their attitude again to pursue, they found that it was too late.

At this point, the distance between it and the ground was less than ten meters, and with its weight and size, it was almost indistinguishable from being close to the ground.

If it can't change its dive attitude in time, it will fall to the ground in a second or two at most.

"Wow——!"

With a reluctant scream, the Ice Dragon flapped its wings and slowed down.

Feng Ying took advantage of this opportunity to continue to fall to the ground, and in the last few meters above the ground, she released the flying insect again to unload its force and landed steadily.

There was no room for relief, and after landing, Feng Ying pulled out her sword and shield axe as soon as she landed, and looked up at the air.

Her caution was correct, and the Ice Dragon, who had failed in two consecutive attacks, quickly adjusted her stance and struck at her again.

This time, instead of a claw strike, it's a more threatening tail spur.

Not long ago, Feng Ying had heard Hayatta and Ted describe the dangers of this move, and a frontal hard connection might be able to take it, but there was a risk that the shield would be pierced.

So she turned to her side, and at the same time inserted her sword into the shield, supporting the deformed shield with both hands, and met the incoming Ice Blade Tail.

The extremely sharp Ice Blade Tail grazed the shield surface, stirring up a series of sparks, and Feng Ying pursed her lips and deflected the shield to unload the force, causing the Ice Blade Tail to plunge into the ground on her side.

Feng Ying, who completes the precision defense, is unscathed.

Immediately after, she used the impact from the shield to quickly complete the switch of weapon form, and slashed at the ice dragon hanging in mid-air with a single blow of high-output attribute liberation slash.

The heavy blade of the axe landed on the claws of the Ice Dragon, and the glazed scales of the armor resisted some of the damage for it, but it still had a bloody wound open.

The dragon screamed in rage, pulled back its tail, whirled its body, and swung its winged claws at the hunter.

Feng Ying laughed, her steps staggered, and she spun in sync with the Ice Dragon.

Dismantling the giant axe with a turnaround slash and turning it back into a sword and shield, the shield moved forward, once again meeting the attack with precise defense.

Due to the fact that he had time to accumulate energy to open the red shield in the future, coupled with the power of the Ice Dragon's wing attack with the power of body rotation, the force was solid, and Feng Ying was shocked and jumped away.

But he still didn't suffer any damage.

Before the ice armor melted and had time to recover the ability to release the Extremely Cold Frost, the Ice Dragon could not even break through Feng Ying's defenses with its physical attacks alone.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

One after another, the flame bombs shot from a distance and landed on the body of the Ice Dragon, exploding countless flames and sparks.

Aiden, who landed smoothly, launched fire support.

At the junction of volcanoes and dense forests, the vegetation is relatively sparse, and the small number of large trees that exist can act as shelter without interfering too much with the shooting range, making it a good battlefield for shooters.

Hayatta also held the sword diagonally, rushed from the side, and while launching a strong attack with all his strength, he said loudly: "Xianglan! Set up the stopper cage to stop it from taking off again!

Don't give it a respite, just get rid of it right here! ”

"Meow!"

Seeing that her companions were all in place, Feng Ying, who was originally inclined to defend and maneuver, immediately changed her style, brandished her sword, and took the initiative to bully her.

Before he could slash a few times, the Ice Dragon diverted his attention from Hayata's continuous assault, turned and screamed at the latter, and launched a counterattack with claws and ice blade tails swinging in quick succession.

Hayatta did not mean to avoid the edge at all, and he was rigid and slashed, saw the cut, and used it in turn to attack it.

The corners of Feng Ying's eyes twitched, and she continued to swing her sword.

She knew that Hayatta was helping her share the pressure and create an opportunity for her to accumulate energy and open up the Red Shield and Red Sword.

But on the other hand, before completing all the preparations and giving the Ice Dragon a hard blow, she was afraid that she would not want to snatch back the former's attention.
