Chapter 1280: Broken Tail

Taking advantage of the Ice Dragon's attention being attracted by the Wind, Hayatta quickly circled around the Ice Dragon's side and back.

Noticing her movements, Aiden, who was sniping in the distance, also cooperated with the change of position and came to a frontal position, minimizing the Ice Dragon's attention to the rear.

Hayata's goal was clear, and that was to cut off the tail of the Ice Dragon.

Inexperienced hunters often overlook the importance of tails and consider tail docking irrelevant.

Only when facing monsters with special organs in the tail, such as female fire dragons, will they attack the tail in a targeted manner.

In fact, the tail plays a vital role in maintaining balance and adjusting the center of gravity, especially for monsters with quick movements or heavy heads.

And the Ice Dragon in front of him belongs to both.

Its claws are not strong enough, its teeth are not sharp enough, and in melee combat, the ice spear-like blade tail is its sharpest weapon.

At the same time, the Ice Dragon is good at flying, with a slender tail that is almost longer than its entire body, which plays a crucial role in adjusting its flight attitude.

If it can be cut off, it will already be not lightly injured, and the ice dragon will be limited by the environment and unable to use the Extreme Cold Breath ability, which is best at it, and the threat level will be further reduced.

That could be the last straw that broke it.

Coming to the long tail of the Ice Dragon, Hayata's eyes flashed with blue light, and she turned on a state of courage, and then threw a strange power pill into her mouth.

Xianglan also flew over and sprinkled a handful of ghost dust on her.

Having completed a series of preparations, the Hayatana Sword was constantly improving, as the accumulated sword qi continued to pour into the sword blade in the sheath.

The preparations for the Divine Power Juhe were about to be completed, but the chilling sword aura that could not be hidden still attracted the attention of the Ice Dragon.

It turned its head sideways, its gaze sweeping behind it.

Seeing this, Feng Ying immediately took the risk of launching a strong attack, and the heavy giant axe slashed at the bloody chest of the Ice Dragon with all its might, trying to force it to fight back and cover Hayatta to complete the attack.

However, the Ice Dragon was not one of those ordinary brute beasts that could not take care of its tail if it took care of its head, and it flicked its long tail while waving its winged claws to fend off Feng Ying's attacks.

The spear-like tail of the ice blade swept across, slashing towards the gathering Hayata.

Hayatta looked as usual in the face of the wind-shattering blow, sliding backwards as the Ice Blade Tail was about to die, allowing the Ice Blade, which was sharper and tougher than steel, to sweep past her eyes.

But the Ice Dragon's attack wasn't over yet.

The slender tail is like a ferocious snake, and immediately after the sweep misses, it raises and stabs at the hunter from top to bottom.

This time, Hayatta didn't dodge again.

The Ice Dragon's long tail was flexible and powerful, and dodging vigorously would only cause her to miss the best time to condense her sword qi to the limit.

"Whew-"

Exhaling lightly, Hayatta raised her gaze, and the Wyvern Knife, which should not have been unsheathed at this time, popped out and held it in front of her.

Departing some of their attention, Aiden and Feng Ying, who were paying attention to this, couldn't help but feel pity.

It's like the moment when the charged slash of the big sword is about to be completed, the monster's attack hits, interrupting the charged slash, and turning to defense or dodging, although it is a pity, but in order to save your life, this is also a helpless move.

But what happened next left them stunned.

After slashing the precise defense with the Rigid Qi Blade and slashing through the deadly ice blade tail, the crimson sword qi wrapped around the blade of Hayatta did not dissipate.

Hayata's wrist flipped, and the sword was once again incorporated into its scabbard.

Under her extremely delicate control of the "qi", the fierce and slashing counterattack did not interrupt Shenwei Juhe's preparations.

Before the ice dragon could retract its long tail, she slid again, adjusting her position and angle.

The position where the ice blade and the long tail of the ice condensed by the indissolving ice are locked into the eye is also the most slender part of the ice dragon's long tail.

The Wyvern Knife [Black Yao] is unsheathed again.

The sword qi and the blazing fire light were intertwined, and in the flash of the sword light, the three swords in quick succession landed almost simultaneously at the same place in the gap of the carapace.

Break through the scales, cut the flesh, and cut the bones.

The tail of the nearly two-meter-long ice blade broke off and swirled to the ground, the tip of which sank nearly halfway to the ground.

"Boom ——!!!"

The coccyx is an extension of the spine that contains complex nerves.

The pain of the long tail being severed by a sword made the ice dragon tremble violently, and the muscles of his body twitched, and his body leaned back irrepressibly, and a piercing scream pierced the sky.

Opportunity!

Feng Ying's eyes lit up, relying on the flying insects to rush forward, and in the blink of an eye, she came to the vicinity of the hind legs of the Ice Dragon, turned around and swung a giant axe, slashing at the hind feet of the Ice Dragon.

Hayatta made the same judgment as her, and her figure flickered, and she swung her blade as she lunged forward.

Sakura slashes.

Kamui Juhe had exhausted her accumulated sword energy, and this sword failed to exert the power that Sakura Qi slash should have, but she didn't care, and many times the timing of the attack was more important than the power.

The giant axe and the sword landed on one of the ice dragon's ankles at the same time, and the ice dragon fell to the ground before it could regain its balance.

The hunters were in high spirits and launched a strong attack with all their might.

Feng Ying quickly rushed back to the relatively fragile head and neck position of the Ice Dragon, as if she was going to cut off the Ice Dragon's head directly, and all kinds of high-power attributes were liberated and slashed one after another.

The sword energy was exhausted, and Hayata, who had limited explosive power, did not go to fight with Feng Ying for the attack position, she came to the dragon's wings and slashed the wing membrane continuously, hoping to weaken the ice dragon's ability to fly.

Aiden also sprang to the Ice Dragon, less than ten meters away.

This is the best distance to fire spurs, but stray bullets tend to injure teammates, so this time, he used a special type of ammunition that Anhill rarely uses, but is popular with many of the Investigative Mission's heavy crossbows.

- Trap Dragon Bullet.

The extraordinarily large and heavy Trap Dragon flicked the drum and was pressed into the crossbow chamber by him.

The next thing that needs to be done is to point the muzzle at the enemy, and then pull the trigger.

"Sudden Sudden Sudden Sudden

As the muzzle flames continued to erupt, countless cone-shaped projectiles turned into a storm of steel, sweeping towards the belly of the Ice Dragon.

Scales, fragments of warheads, blood and sparks, scattered in all directions.

The ammunition loaded with the dragon bullet is actually the most ordinary ordinary bullet, and the destructive power of a single shot may be inconspicuous, and the accuracy and effective range are very average.

But at the cost of these things comes an eye-popping rate of fire.

The full load of a dragon bullet drum is 50 balls, and as long as the trigger is pulled, all 50 crossbow bullets can be fired in just 10 seconds.

It can almost be said that in one fell swoop, the evaluation of the lack of heavy crossbow explosions has been reversed.

Anhill doesn't need this, just because the harsh use conditions of the trap dragon bullet do not meet his habits, and when he needs to provide explosive firepower, there are more suitable "supernovas" to choose from.

But not every heavy crossbowman can carry a few life-threatening supernovas with them.

The large amount of the dragon bullet is the daily first choice of the heavy crossbow envoys of the vast majority of investigation groups.

Giant axes, knives, fast-firing crossbows, and even chains and catswords from hunting companions.

When the Ice Dragon struggled to get back to its feet, most of its scale armor had been shattered, and its head, chest, abdomen, and wings were even more scarred.

It gasped, and the frosty white air diffused.

It stands to reason that the Ice Dragon, which was seriously injured and exhausted, and had depleted the water stored in its body, was no longer a threat to the upper hunters.

But at this time, they invariably felt a certain sense of threat.

"Stand back!" Feng Ying roared.

The hunters immediately stopped attacking, gathered their weapons, and flew back into the distance.

"——!"

The Ice Dragon's wings spread wide, and it let out a long roar of rage.

The freezing air dispersed, and countless sharp ice chips and ice gravel flew like flying knives in all directions.

The gorgeously shaped ice armor once again resurfaced on its surface.
