714. The Last Operational Window

The hunters are ready to go.

It was a group battle that brought together hundreds of hunters from the New World Survey Mission.

In the tradition of hunters in this world, there seems to be a saying that "a team of more than four people brings misfortune".

So in the usual mission, the hunters can form a team of four people at most.

But this is only a custom after all, and when faced with creatures like super-large ancient dragons, which are no different from natural disasters, people are eager to suppress all their combat power.

"Did you help me with the guys?"

Before hanging up the Ascending Pterodactyl, Winder asked Lanne.

He was now carrying a heavy crossbow called the Flower Launcher on his back, and a chain full of water-cooled bullets hung densely on his body.

But last night, he still ran to Lan En's side and handed the [Pulse Scimitar] to Lan En.

Hopefully the witchers will be able to pretend to be their 'hometown tricks'.

As the secret weapon of the Hunters' Guild and the top hunter, Winder also feels that there may be many surprises in this final offensive.

Lan En gave him a reassuring look and patted the alchemy leather bag on his waist.

"It's all pretended."

Then, both Wende and Aiden whistled at the same time and called the pterosaur over.

The team of three people and one cat flew towards the depths of the valley with a familiar attitude, following the black smoke emitted from the volcano.

'Boom'!

The geological structure of the valley plays a role in gathering sounds.

The carapace of the molten mountain dragon rubbed against the ground, heavy footsteps.

There is also the sound of cannons and crossbow arrows that have been erected on the surrounding mountain walls by the human side, and the sound of constantly smashing on the molten mountain dragon.

The shape of these cannons resembles that of the XVIII century on Earth.

But the effect and technology are much stronger than in the ordinary world.

I don't know what technology was used, but the cannon was able to load five shells at the same time, and then fire them in a row after one excitation.

The ammunition also uses many of the world's natural materials, and the combustion efficiency and explosion effect are beyond imagination.

But even then, after these cannons smashed into the molten dragon's body, a large crater appeared, and dark red viscous magma was sprinkled down from the pit.

But in a few moments, the lava solidified back into a black crust.

The attack that can be inflicted on the molten mountain dragon from outside the body is the most effective, and that's it.

"Behind us is the exit of the valley! Don't let the Molten Mountain Dragon get out of here! ”

The Commander-in-Chief stood in front of the Molten Mountain Dragon and yelled at everyone.

"Drive it back! Hunters go! ”

Lan En, the three of them and a cat, also boarded the back shell of the molten mountain dragon at this time.

The whistling shells brought a sharp sound of breaking wind.

The choking smell of gunsmoke, the explosion of lava, the crust of rock shattering.

It's not like a hunting ground for hunters, it's like a battlefield.

A battlefield between humans and ancient dragons!

Unconsciously, Lan En took a deep breath after climbing onto the back of the molten mountain dragon.

The smoke and heat seemed to activate some of the reactions that had been carved into his body in the [Memory Dive].

These symbols of the battlefield of thermal weapons turned out to be a little for a while. I feel nostalgic.

"Act as planned."

In the inexplicable nostalgia that rose in his heart, the witcher arranged the task in a calm and professional tone.

It's as if I've fully adapted to this battlefield.

After the rest of the hunters boarded the Molten Dragon's back shell, they each headed towards the upper and lower ends of the midline of the Molten Dragon's spine, leaving the most spacious and conspicuous middle section to Lane's three-man and one-cat team.

In this position, it is clear to all.

In addition to destroying the heat dissipation organs regenerated by the molten mountain dragon, they also serve as 'bait'.

Lure the Slayer Dragon that may appear at any time and make it go straight here, while providing a safe mission environment for other hunters who are not so advanced.

Because they had been running around on the back of the molten mountain dragon for the past three days, they basically knew where the heat dissipation organs of this ancient dragon would be distributed.

Without any nonsense, they immediately began to climb up and down on the back shell of the molten mountain dragon.

The back shell of the molten dragon, although formed by the solidification of flowing lava, is supposed to take on the flat posture of a semi-solid substance affected by gravity.

But it was a living creature after all, and as it moved, the lava walls were worn down to an exaggerated height difference.

For example, the joints that need to be moved will look like an abrupt ravine.

In the middle of the back, which is not usually moved, it is flat and broad.

Just climbed over a rock formation more than ten meters high, and the three of them and one cat found a target.

At this moment, on the tail of the molten mountain dragon and on the top of its head, two fireworks different from the artillery rose about the same size.

This is a sign that all hunters are in place.

Today, they are going to destroy all the heat dissipation organs on the molten mountain dragon at the same time.

Lane and Winder each removed their ballistas from their lower backs and 'clicked' the lever to load.

Then nodded at Aiden.

In the middle of the back, a firework finally flies into the sky.

And at the same time." Bang bang bang! ”

The roar of the ballista resounded in an instant!

The water-cooled bomb exploded like a firecracker on the molten dragon's heat dissipation organs.

The special warhead inside exploded into a special splash, a splash of water with super biopenetration, which had already infiltrated into the biological tissue of the molten mountain dragon even before it was evaporated by the high temperature.

The originally hot heat dissipation organ was cooled down in an instant, and under the effect of thermal expansion and cold contraction, the already not strong organ began to make a 'kala kala' cracking sound.

The pain caused to the molten dragon was like tearing it apart before the blood scab had fully healed.

"Whew!!"

The pain that came from the entire spine, as well as the heat that continued to accumulate in the body but could not be dissipated, caused the molten mountain dragon to let out a roar of pain that he had never seen before.

The terrifying lung capacity brings terrifying sound waves.

Even on the cliffs on both sides, the small rocks that were not very sturdy were scattered and fell down in this roar.

Compared to the insignificant body temperature lowered by the water-cooled bomb, the destructive effect caused by the sudden cooling of a hot object is what the hunters want to achieve.

The water-cooled bullet continued to shoot in.

Everyone knows that this is already the last operational window. So they're all ready to empty the bullet chains on their bodies.

The broken heat dissipation organ is the only place where humans can hope to reach the inside of the molten dragon's body.

But it seems to be the reason why the unprecedented howl of pain of the oversized ancient dragon has spread far and wide.

Above the sky, which is pressed into a line by the mountain walls on both sides, it seems to echo at this time.

There was also a very oppressive roar.

"Roar!!
