Chapter Twenty-Six: Mature Swamp Dragon
There are a large number of medicinal fields scattered among the pure white woodlands.
On the way back, the medicine field that I passed by a little detour was a field with crops such as leeks and occult crops Yano, also known as hemostatic grass, which is a crop that can repel mosquitoes and attract self-healing magic factors after being ground into powder, and the shape is like leeks, but the whole body is blue.
Taste the words.
It's delicious!
There are probably more than sixty or seventy clockwork cats in the medicine field, and they are gnawing Hachino as sugar cane, gnawing and pulling out with their cat tails, looking like a 'vicious cat destroying people's fields'.
The clockwork cat is a magical group of creatures with intelligence and social cluster attributes, most of them are half a large person, almost 60% the size of a small plum, 75% the size of Georgia, with a very obvious ability to glide and float, it is a gourmet, and the more delicious places the more you can see them.
"Ahh Sonia screamed.
Occult crops, for clockwork cats, are just snacks.
Maybe in their opinion, as carnivorous creatures, eating this plant is already a very face-saving thing?
Fortunately, the medicine fields in this world are already very large, and they grow quickly, even if they are patronized by Mao Tuanzi, more than 50% of the area is safe.
That's what I think.
There was a slight barking like the low bark of a hound, and the air was suddenly filled with a musty smell, and a moist sensation appeared on the ground and in the air.
The clockwork cats let out a cry and drifted unhurriedly behind Melina, in the direction of Bright Falls.
On the front, a swamp dragon with dark yellow scales and dark red skin appeared.
It's much larger than the one Echo Squad is crusading against.
At least more than 8 meters! Maybe even up to 9 meters long?
The bulging muscles of the forelimbs combined with the deep yellow dragon scales made it look like a giant pineapple.
"Roar..."It didn't attack when it appeared, but just slowly paced into the medicine field, harvesting a large number of Yano with its sharp claws.
The swamp dragon can be regarded as a kind of 'sensible and well-behaved' dragon when it is not starving.
As long as herbs and ores are not collected in the presence of this dragon, then this black dragon species is almost completely harmless.
But it's a pity, don't you mess with it if it's harmless?
No, you can't!
As a member of nature, human beings must contribute their unique strength to the warm family of the jungle.
"How?" Melina opened the umbrella.
As a result, I saw that the seniors had left me and opened up a range of three or four meters away.
This behavior occurs, apparently for only one thing.
Make room for Melina's unfolding.
If the positioning of the two as shooters was not clear before, now the tactical position and shooter position have been completely decided.
In battle, the shooter seems to have a lot of space to fire casually, but in fact, this space is very narrow, because there is the concept of the best shooting angle, shooting boundary and safe shooting angle, some shooters have to transfer the position after two shots, that is, [non-excellent output position], and some shooters can enjoy the assistance of the team, peace of mind to explode the output with all their might, that is the [excellent output position].
Especially with multiple squads, the more people there are, the more valuable this position is.
In simple terms:
The best way for Maria and Sonia to fight at the moment is to go out and pull the gun line for the eldest brother, and by the way, shake the dog's tail, remember to shake the enthusiasm, otherwise Meimei will not be in the mood to play out.
That's status.
There is always a role player......
Melina's musket spun rapidly and cut into combat form.
The three of them had never hunted together, and even Maria and Sonia had hunted together very rarely, and the three of them had no tacit understanding at all.
Without hesitation, Sonia unleashed a wide range of scatters, pouring a large number of crossbow arrows on the swamp dragon's body.
At the same time, a magical aura flashed out.
Boom.
The sound was like a landslide, accompanied by a white pillar of light. It is the special magic armed with Maria's sword, [Sanction One Shot], which pours the magic factor into the ammunition all over the body, so that it completely collapses the moment it is discharged, and a large number of magic factors condense into an endless brilliance, which is so powerful that it can knock a small dragon away with one shot!
Then it was empty.
Maria is empty-shot.
It's not because you can't hit it accurately.
Rather, it was because Sonia's scattering was so terrifying that it startled the swamp dragon that was still digging for occult crops, and reflexively jumped to the side, with this creature with a body length of more than 8 meters, its jump may only be a small step, but for humans, it almost requires a 90-degree pull gun. So Maria bluntly emptied the shot.
If she had fired the first shot, maybe the result would have been different.
She knew, Melina knew, and Sonia even knew!
So Sonia did not hesitate to take the lead: "Old Ma, old Ma! It's deadly, this empty gun! β
"What are you yelling at dogs!"
Maria is hard to break through.
Bang! Bang bang bang!
Melina fired continuously, and the weakness of the musket was completely absent from her. The continuous shots all hit the jumping swamp dragon's left hind foot, and the accuracy was as if it were locked.
It's equivalent to someone else jumping up to investigate, but she was directly locked in the head with a gun and taken away with a headshot.
A hit for excellence.
Melina's blood was boiling, and she felt that her skills, her skills, were completely improving every minute and every second.
Time and space seem to stand still.
The body is unbelievably light.
Fighting is obviously a violent thing, and your nature may love violence deeply, is this moment of happiness what you want?
When Melina's mind was out of this realm of stillness, when the wind blowing, when the smell of gunpowder, and the smell of the earth after a lightning strike returned to this mortal body, she clearly sensed her own hit, and nine times out of tenβthe empty shot hit the gap in the scales of the swamp dragon's left claw.
The swamp dragon's reaction surpassed human mechanics, and in the pain of a massive number of gunfire in just half a second, it used its left claw to protect its left hind leg, which was almost broken in one fell swoop. At the same time, Melina sensed its reaction and threw the last shot into the scaly gap in the wrist of its left claw.
The swamp dragon that landed let out the roar of a wounded beast.
Its left hind leg was almost broken, and although [Flint Girl-Alpha] was a novice equipment, the high-level high-level [Shooting Firepower] and [Rifling] brought by the magic factor stacked with a single shot quality bonus!
Melina's body was lowered, she smiled silently, covered her face with a black parasol, and charged forward with acceleration against gravity and wind resistance. She stretched out her right hand to the side and squeezed it firmly.
Bang!
There was an explosion sound from the flesh and blood, and a huge amount of vapor composed of magical factors erupted from the brass-colored limb armor. Beneath her white jade-like skin, a gloomy black color appeared in her veins.
Magic [beastly unbearable].
The primary criterion is the insane, and the secondary criterion is union and desire.
Through these two criteria, the magic factor is transformed, and the power achieved is the magic that 'hurts oneself by harming one's enemies, and destroys one's enemies by harming oneself'.
Unable to become an explorer, Melina envisioned a scenario where she would have to face off against monsters.
Through this trick of destroying her enemies by destroying herself, she has become extremely proficient.
The guns weren't just her weapons, they were her eyes, and through those 'eyes' she latched onto the swamp dragon.
Fire.
Fire!
Melina felt the pain in her body, but her heart was joyful. If she was in pain, it meant that the swamp dragon was almost knocked down by the pain.
She's already suppressed the swamp dragon.
All you need to do is rush in front of this dragon, fire at close range, and then channel your pain to another magic [Infusion of Pain], and you can defeat the opponent with one blow!
Minor injuries...... Melina's golden eyes were eerily red.
"Avoid!" Behind him came the energetic voice of Sonia.
She turned her head in surprise, a flashing crossbow bolt flew out from behind her, and the momentum of her charge was interrupted by 'her own people', and she had no choice but to close her eyes to avoid the flash.
When the glitter passes.
All that remained of the swamp dragon was a puddle of blood left behind by the wounds, and the specks of blood behind the blood stains pointed to the thick jungle.
Ran away.
This monster that is stronger than the average adult swamp dragon, estimated to reach a challenge level of 3, and requires three skilled level 1 hunters to be able to hunt, ran.
Is this a cheat?
Melina stood up straight, silently turning her umbrella, staring at the fishy magic factor, the red in her eyes subsided a little.
"Ah, I escaped." Sonia's cheerful voice came.
This is followed by Maria:
"If you don't lose it, it won't escape."
"Haha."
Sonia smiled awkwardly.
Her expression was calm, even a little gentle. She looked at Melina as if curiosity had suddenly sprung up:
"You're very good at magic, [beastly nature], I didn't expect you to be good at mad magic among the seven secret arts... Are you rushing up to try to use magic to end it? β
Melina calmed down and said calmly:
"Yes, make up for it with a [Infusion of Pain] and you can kill it."
A little bit of a pity:
"It's a pity that our cooperation is not tacit enough..."
ββ¦β
She noticed that the senior sister looked at her, it was a kind of look that she couldn't tell what it was.
The senior sister suddenly laughed and shook her head slowly:
"You're about to break its leg, there's no need to kill it in such a hurry, right?"
Melina pursed her black lipstick lips.
Sonia put her hands on her shoulders very gently, smiling on her face, but there was no smile in her eyes:
"Don't use the magic of the madman's secret art in the future."
Her gaze lingered for a moment on the black veins on Melina's face that had not yet receded.
"Please grant me this little request."
Melina subconsciously deviated from the beginning.
Sonia slammed it back.
The outer part of the senior sister's hand armor is cold, but the fabric inside is soft and warm.
"Please." She smiled bitterly, but there was still no smile in her eyes.
ββ¦β
Melina nodded slightly, and the senior sister felt the weak strength of her head, so she let go of her hands, and with a whimper, she crossed her hands on her hips and turned her head to look at the medicine field:
"Old Ma, old Ma, why are you so careless, my medicine field has been damaged by you!"
Maria crossed her hands on her hips:
"What are you calling a dog?"
