Chapter 1282: The Parasite
Flying Claws is a great move, but at the same time, it's also a risky move.
Especially at the moment when the hunter flies up, it is difficult for the hunter to adjust his attitude and landing point, and if he encounters some monsters with fast reaction speed, he will bite from the side, and it is likely to become meat sent into his mouth.
In order to reduce the risk, many hunters choose to fly up the neck or shoulders first, and then look for opportunities to climb and jump on the head.
But at the moment, Maca doesn't have that chance.
The critical state of the Fierce Explosion Shattering Dragon is covered with scorching activated ancient slime molds, which are not only hot and difficult to climb, but also have the risk of exploding at any time.
Naturally, the shorter the contact time, the better.
Fortunately, the flashbang thrown by Babaka temporarily sealed the vision of the Explosive Dragon, creating some flaws for her.
Maca, who flew up to the side of the Exploding Dragon's face, swung her flying claws and grabbed at the Exploding Dragon's eye sockets.
When the crux was attacked, the Explosive Dragon, like all creatures, reacted violently, shaking its head violently in an attempt to knock Maca down.
Maca wanted to clasp the gap in the carapace and fix her body, but she found that the carapace covered with slime molds was slippery, and with the impact of her flying body, the side of the Explosive Shattering Dragon's head had begun to emit a dangerous red light.
This is a sign of an impending explosion.
Continuing to stay on the Explosive Crusher was no different from sending him to death, and before he had time to continue adjusting the direction of the Explosive Shattering Dragon, Maca pressed the projector against the former's eye socket and pulled the trigger hard.
Full launch!
"Quack!!" The Explosive Dragon screamed in pain and rushed out, pounced on the non-existent foe in front of him.
Maca took the opportunity to do a backflip, detached herself from the monster, and staggered to the ground.
Since there was not enough time to adjust the direction, the angle of the fierce explosion crusher was very off, and it was a pity that it could not hit the rock wall.
However, it was at this moment that luck favored them.
The slime fungus that spread on the side of the face of the Explosive Crusher detonated, and under the bombardment of this explosion, the head of the Explosive Shattering Dragon jerked away, and the direction of the forward rush also shifted.
In the end, he crashed headfirst into the volcanic boulder, which was thirty or forty meters high.
"Boom ——!"
Large cracks are centered at the point of impact and spread in all directions.
Even with the size and strength of a Fierce Explosion Dragon, it is impossible to smash a boulder of this size, or a rocky mountain, into pieces in one head.
The impact of the impact returned, and the smashing faucet was dizzy.
But that's not the end of it.
On the boulder, in the deep pit knocked out by the big horn of the exploding dragon, a large area of slime mold was sticked.
Under such a violent impact, these slime molds, which were already in a critical state, were activated without accident.
With a loud explosion, the cracks in the rocky mountain widened further, and large chunks of rock collapsed and fell on the Exploding Dragon.
The Explosive Shattering Dragon, who was already a little dizzy and unsteady on his feet, was smashed and fell to the ground.
Ozura seized the opportunity to stop and turn around, set up the ballista, and continued to fire ice bullets rapidly, draining the strength of the explosive dragon.
Maca and Ted also approached quickly, ready to attack.
Just as they came to the roaring and struggling Exploding Dragon, half-buried in a boulder pile, Ted suddenly remembered something.
He yelled, "Maka retreat, retreat as far as she can!" Oshura for a Thorough Grenade! ”
Commanding the insect hunter to release the insect powder, Maca, who was brandishing the insect stick and was about to perform the flying round slash, immediately stopped the attack and flew back.
While she's unsure of Ted's intentions, there's nothing wrong with following the captain's instructions during a fight.
Oshura also subconsciously changed the magazine, and after a little reaction for two seconds, she probably guessed Ted's purpose.
Theoretically, ammunition such as flame bombs and armor-piercing grenades, which use high temperature and explosive impact as the main means of destruction, have a very poor effect on explosive dragon crushers.
But the high temperature and explosion may be able to further stimulate those slime molds in a critical state!
That's exactly what Ted thinks.
He came to the front of the Fierce Explosion Crusher Dragon, pointed the gun forward, and aimed the muzzle of the Fierce Explosion Crusher at the big horns and arms where the slime molds on the Fierce Explosion Crusher were most concentrated.
"Dragon Striker!"
"Boom ——!"
In the flames and smoke, the hot canister popped out, and the gun body of the gun became red-hot.
The blasting impact released by the dragon blaster in a fan-shaped shape landed right on the head and chest of the fierce blasting dragon.
The activity of slime molds is about to cross the critical point and begin to swell and shine.
Ted couldn't care about anything else, put away his weapon, turned and ran.
At the same time, Ozura fired a piercing grenade that had just been filled into the crossbow.
Almost as soon as these grenades landed on the chest of the Explosive Shattering Dragon, they were detonated by the high temperature released during the rapid activation of the ancient slime mold, and exploded into several flames.
The power of this explosion is not comparable to that of the ancient slime mold that exploded the dragon, but it was like a detonator in a bomb, lighting the last fire for the ancient slime mold that was approaching the tipping point.
The Explosive Dragon that was knocked down by the falling rocks resembled an erupting volcano, and the continuous sound of explosions and blazing fire once again echoed on the shores of the huge lava lake.
Dozens of meters away, there were still fragments of rubble and carapace flying from time to time, and Ted raised his shield to block a fist-sized piece of carapace.
"Will it fall this time?"
The sound of the explosion drowned out his self-talk, and no one could answer his question until the explosion was over and the dust had settled.
Hunters take it upon themselves to change ammunition and polish their weapons.
It stands to reason that the Fierce Explosion Shattering Dragon, which was already seriously injured and had most of its carapace shattered, had no reason to survive such a continuous explosion.
But they always felt that this fierce explosion dragon that had been wandering on the edge of life and death for so long, survived explosions again and again, and continued to evolve to its current form, would not die so aggrieved.
"Babaka, set the trap." Staring at the giant beast roaring in the endless explosion for a few seconds, Ted said in a deep voice, "Even if he is still alive, it is estimated that there is only his last breath left, and the anesthetic bullet should be effective." ”
The Strange-Faced Clan nodded, found a suitable spot, and began to set up paralysis traps.
Oshura also replaced the ballista with a magazine for a tranquilizer for capture.
More than ten seconds passed, the flames and roars gradually stopped, and the huge shadow in the smoke of gunpowder was silent.
The hunters, armed with their weapons, cautiously gathered around.
Suddenly, the shadow lying on the ground moved.
Ted, who was walking in the front, immediately stopped and made a "pause" gesture.
"Roar"
The blackened Explosive Crusher let out a faint roar, its head propped itself up, and slowly stood up.
The proud horn had been blown off, and even the skull had been blown away, and through the cracks in the carapace, even the skull could be seen clinging to the charred flesh.
At the thickest back of the carapace, the entire ridge plate was lifted and shattered aside, and one of the legs was blown off.
This appearance is not to say that it is fighting, just maintaining a standing posture is already its limit.
The hunters glanced at each other, but still did not dare to let their guard down.
Both eyes and ear holes had been completely destroyed in the successive explosions, and at this point it could not even detect the approach of the hunter.
It couldn't even tell where the enemy was, but it still had no intention of fleeing.
Stretching out only a small half, bloody tongue, licking his arms.
Even after being blown to its last breath, it still did its best to give birth to those terrifying slime molds.
At this moment, a strange thought flashed through Ted's heart.
Everyone thinks that the fierce Explosive Dragon is the dominant party.
And those slime molds from ancient strata are just some kind of peculiar parasites, "powerful weapons" harvested in the process of fierce explosion crushing dragons in their pursuit of great power.
But what if that's not the case? What if the ancient slime molds were the dominant party, and the Explosive Dragon was just a tool for the ancient slime molds to spread and multiply?
"Boom! Rumble! ”
Just as Ted was thinking, the Explosive Dragon slammed into the ground with two punches in quick succession.
Its arms had long been broken, and one of them had even been blown in half, and Bai Sensen's stubble was exposed, which was extremely dazzling.
But it kept waving its arms and slamming into the ground, faster and faster.
As it bombarded repeatedly, the already cracked ground shattered layer by layer, and magma erupted, scorching its body.
But it still didn't care, and sent all the ancient slime molds that had just multiplied on its arms into the blazing magma flow underground.
With the injection of a large number of ancient slime molds, with it as the center of the circle, the ground within a radius of nearly 100 meters gradually glowed with a palpitating red light.
The hunters wake up from the strange behavior of the Explosive Dragon.
"Run!!
