0100 Dangerous swamps
The squad enters the preparatory phase.
According to the Monster Encyclopedia, the thunder and water resistance of the snake dragon are low.
Chu Ying chose a taut syringe capable of rapid-fire electric shock bombs as a hunting weapon.
Li Ming was a little entangled, the frog type ring head was restrained in attributes, but the sharpness was lacking, and the fireworks shield axe was just the opposite, and there was another characteristic that could conduct thunder attribute conduction eruptions.
Eventually, due to sufficient capacity, he decided to bring both shield axes with him.
Ni Shuang didn't have a replaceable weapon, so he didn't have anything to worry about.
On the cat rice selection, because the snake dragon is very good at paralyzing and biting, the team chose to stir-fry the leg meat of the yellow dragon king to improve the paralysis resistance.
After two days of preparation, the team began to make its way towards the swampy area.
Go out with three cat cars, a carriage of frozen raw meat, and you can also drink strong medicine.
The hunter team, which attaches so much importance to logistics, Ni Shuang is also the first time he has met.
After six days of travel, the team deposited the trucks at a freight transfer station in the outer area of the swamp.
Then go on the road with the cats and continue deeper.
Soon the mist descended and engulfed the surrounding wetlands.
Poor visibility, combined with the muddy road underfoot, slowed the team down considerably.
Whoop~whoa~
The roar of the speed dragon to attract the assembly soon resounded around him.
Ni Shuang listened for a moment and said, "It's the roar of the prey." ”
"It seems that the Red Speedy Dragon is trying to hunt us through the mist."
Li Ming speculated.
"Evacuation or fighting?"
Chu Ying asked.
"Fight."
After Li Ming finished speaking, the three of them each faced a direction and retreated and gathered.
As the roar intensified, a red dragon emerged from the fog.
This red tachysaurus was not large, with a bright red coat with a large number of black halves.
The swollen nose extends all the way to the forehead, and when you look at it from the front, you feel like your vision is blocked.
After a moment's observation, the red speed dragon let out an excited roar, as if to inform its companions that it had confirmed the location of its prey.
Ni took two steps forward in both directions, raising the horn of Yan Yu and waving it.
Beep ~ woo ~ With the swing, a bagpipe-shaped mechanism at the top pours into the airflow, creating a rhythmic melodious rumble.
Toot ~ woo!
Ni Shuang swung Yan Yu's horn horizontally vigorously, and the air flow poured in again, letting out a bang.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Yu's horn was lifted by the shoulder, and the bagpipes at the top vibrated at a high frequency, emitting a strong trembling sound.
A reddish sound wave spread out in all directions.
Li Ming, who was shrouded in sound waves, felt that when the reddish sound waves penetrated his body, every inch of muscle trembled slightly several times synchronously, as if he had been stimulated and activated.
Then I felt the strength of my body increase.
On the way, Li Ming Chuying felt the magical sound wave amplification of the hunting flute on the body.
At this time, there were not too many surprises, and as for the effective principle of the hunting flute, Ni Shuang also gave an explanation.
In fact, it is to excite the radiation of the monster material, amplify it with sound waves, and then spread it out in a large area.
Since the sound waves are injected deep through the body, the amplification duration is very considerable.
As for which kinds of excitation can be converted and transmitted, absorbed by humans, and have positive effects, they have all been summarized and integrated into the production of hunting flutes.
On the disadvantage, when playing the hunting flute, there are high requirements for the amount of air perfusion, and a certain swinging speed must be maintained.
In addition, the hunting flute used as a strike weapon needs to meet the needs of smashing and other needs, and the strength must be guaranteed, which causes the hunting flute to be extremely heavy.
The user's strength is a test, so it is usually used by large men or hunters with superior strength.
Ni Shuang finished playing and did not rush forward, but retreated to the two of them and continued to watch the surrounding movements.
“1,2,3”
Li Ming, who unfolded the fan-shaped collar, was using the sound of stomping on the mud to confirm the number of red speed dragons that had arrived.
"5 even 5 dare to come to the siege, attack!"
After Li Ming finished speaking, he rushed out with Ni Shuang.
The red speed dragon, which howled wantonly, vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
But when he thought that his companions had arrived in front of him, he did not retreat, and accumulated venom in his mouth.
Li Ming threw the spider's nest on his back forward.
Seeing something flying overhead, the red dragon couldn't help but look back.
After finding the spider nest after landing, three Chen spiders crawled out, not aware of the threat at all.
The scattered spiders turned around, and the spider silk they spat out flew around the Red Speed Dragon.
The red speed dragon turned its head again, and realized that the target of the spider silk was the hunter who was rushing away.
Li Ming, who was running, took off the sword and shield of the fireworks shield axe and directly assembled it into an axe.
Stopping and standing still, the axe blade swinged back, and at the same time as the slash was gaining momentum, the three spider bodies pressed down, the spider legs were embedded in the mud, and they pulled backwards together.
"Eat me sliding slash!"
Li Ming's figure slid forward and slashed with his axe.
The blade of the axe, which sliced through the air, cut a half-arc across the moor.
Poof!
Blood burst out of the Red Speeddragon's chest.
The heavy swing caused it to flip several times in mid-air before hitting the ground.
After struggling a few times, he was about to try to stand up sideways, when the bagpipe at the top of Yan Yu's horn slammed into his head.
Poof!
Woo~woo~
Yan Yu's horn slammed deep into the dirt.
Because it smashed the skull of the red velocosaurus, this time it played a twisted and slightly long tail.
Ni Shuang lifted Yan Yu's horn and carried it on his shoulder.
A red speed dragon emerges from the fog and is about to lock it down.
One man and one dragon looked at each other.
A two-meter body, a huge weapon that can make strange noises, and the corpse of a companion who died tragically.
Under a variety of deterrences, the red speed dragon immediately shook its head and relocked the target of the attack.
In the other direction, the relatively short humans, who were chasing their companions, soon became its new target.
"Slide Rush Slide Rush Don't Run!"
The one that Li Ming was chasing may have witnessed the strength of the shield axe.
Or you can feel the various monster breaths on the armor up close.
So since we met, I have been running non-stop.
As a result, the spider spit out insect silk several times and launched a sliding slash, all of which ended in the opponent escaping from the attack range.
"Li Ming! Behind! ”
Ni Shuang, who came at this time, gave a reminder.
As soon as Li Ming turned his head, he didn't expect that there was still a red speed dragon chasing after him.
Pull the spider silk tightly and grab the three spider brothers to their side, and then throw them vigorously.
"Glide Dash!"
A man and a dragon collided head-on, the blade of the axe slashing across the neck.
The blood-soaked red dragon staggered forward a few steps and fell to the ground on its side.
Li Ming's axe blade fell, and he understood it.
On the other side, Chu Ying also sniped a red speed dragon that appeared in the fog.
Hearing the continuous wailing of his partners, the sound of running and walking in the fog gradually faded away.
After confirming that it was safe, the team cleaned up the scene.
Cats and cats are already quite skilled in decomposition, and valuable materials such as animal meat and keel skins will be loaded into trucks quickly.
Li Ming also started the selection of a bunch of white fog balls.
[Venom Spawn], [Call - Red Speed Dragon], [Call - Red Speed Dragon], [Venom Bite], [Flank], [Danger Avoidance - Swamp].
There are a total of six non-repeating fog balls.
Li Ming chose among them [Venom Generation], [Calling-Red Speed Dragon King], and [Danger Area Avoidance-Swamp].
It's not that these fog balls are valuable, it's that there's really no choice.
Seeing that there was no need to do it himself, Ni Shuang took out a small notepad and drew a checkmark.
As we marched deeper into the evening, the fog gradually dissipated.
The team will use a small cave as a camp site.
During the night duty, Li Ming loaded [Danger Avoidance - Swamp] and felt the surrounding environment.
The snake dragon is obviously a dangerous existence for the red speed group.
Li Ming wanted to apply this ability in reverse, and he could roughly guess the current habitat area.
After a while, pink blurred figures appeared in the floating consciousness.
Although there is only a general outline, due to the different shapes of the monsters, the colors that represent the degree of danger are from light to dark, and Li Ming can still guess the type.
Strange dragons lurk in caves, poisonous birds in pond waters, and armored dragons in swamp areas.
Strange, this female fire dragon's pink color is so deep, could it be that in the eyes of the Red Speed Dragon group, the threat level is higher than that of the armored dragon?
[Danger Avoidance - Swamp] is a fog ball burst by the Red Speed Dragon, and if the female Fire Dragon has been targeting predation, it is more threatening in their eyes, and there is nothing incomprehensible.
But Li Ming soon had another guess.
This female fire dragon may be two monsters, Purple Poison Queen.
The reason for the inference is that no one will hunt the two monsters at present, so there is a high probability that the other party will always survive.
Secondly, there is no environment around the swamp that is suitable for the breeding of fire dragons like Senqiu.
In [Danger Avoidance - Swamp], there is not even a silhouette of a male fire dragon.
And the isolated and independent existence is the distinguishing characteristic of most of the two monsters.
After a while, a strange transparent silhouette emerged.
Since there was no color to show, Li Ming couldn't guess the level of threat in the eyes of the red dragon.
However, judging from the large area occupied by the other party in the depths of the swamp, it is definitely not an ordinary monster.
Could it be. Xia Long?
The swamp area is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Li Ming sighed in his heart.
Able to swallow fog and have its own stealth, it is extremely difficult to sight.
Even if the investigator is aware of it by chance, he or she will not be able to submit a sighting report without detailed evidence.
Coupled with the fact that in-depth exploration of the region has been terminated, the lack of relevant information is not to be expected.
After a while, the silhouette of the snake-like dragon finally appeared in consciousness.
Li Ming closed his eyes and concentrated, and after determining the perceived direction, he took out the map and marked it.
The next morning, it was still foggy.
The team followed Li Ming's guidance and marched towards the area where the snake dragon was located.
During this period, the marching strategy was changed under Li Ming's suggestion, and the main route was to travel in latent.
Try not to expose yourself and not fight monsters along the way.
By midday, the fog cleared slightly, and the team reached the calibration point.
The ground is dark and yellow, and the smell of decay wafts through the air.
"Li Ming, this is a little far from the last sighting area of the attack on the lost caravan."
Ni Shuang looked at the map and said with some doubts.
Due to the difficulty of observation, there has been a serious lack of information about monsters in the swamp area.
The last sighting area becomes the most valuable tracking clue.
However, the team under Li Ming's guidance did not go first, but came to an area that seemed unrelated.
"You have to believe Li Ming, he tracks the monster very well."
Midodo informed.
"That's right."
Hearing Mi Duoduo say this, Ni Shuang couldn't help but take out a small notebook again.
"Please be quiet."
After Li Ming finished speaking, he fell to the ground on his side, and the moment his ears were pressed to the ground, he suddenly reminded loudly: "The snake dragon is approaching!" ”
"Good hearing."
Ni Shuang said in surprise.
"It's not hearing, I see it!"
Li Ming pointed forward.
A bright yellow serpent figure was sliding against the grass, leaning towards the team's position.
"Li Ming! Chu Ying! I have a strong physique, and I won't have a big problem with a blow or two, so I don't need to rush out the cat car. ”
Ni Shuang shouted, and Yan Yu's horn waved.
The disparate reddish sound wave quickly enveloped and penetrated the three of them.
"Uh-huh, okay."
Chu Ying hesitated for a moment and responded.
In the distance, the snake dragon heard the sound of the hunting whistle and looked down.
Boom~
The flaky chirping armor on the tail of the snake dragon vibrated at high speed, and a dense trembling sounded.
In the irritating sound, the two kept rushing forward.
The snake dragon suddenly made a sudden stop, and with the support of the short claws on both sides of its tail, it jumped straight and jumped up.
The sharp beak tribe went into the mud, and the body swung rapidly, and drilled into it.
Feeling the underground tremor approaching, Li Ming shouted, "Separate! ”
Ni Shuang did it immediately, but he didn't expect that after Li Ming gave guidance, he ran forward.
After standing still, Li Ming directly pulled out the fireworks shield axe, and the shield surface was slightly oblique downward.
Rumble! While!
The soil layer burst open, and the snake dragon jumped out of the figure of the earth layer, and he stopped for a moment.
Then the head moved horizontally for a distance, and with the support of the four claws, it quickly completed the circle.
At this time, Li Ming, who was holding the shield, was in the central clearing surrounded by the snake's body.
The snake dragon looked down condescendingly, its sharp beak constantly opening and closing, and a large amount of paralyzing venom secreted dripping outward from its two fangs.
Li Mingdun tilted his face and stood still, except for his eyes staring at the head of the snake dragon, he was not afraid or wanted to escape.
It is the strangulation entanglement that the snake dragon is best at, although the human body is too small and not suitable for strangulation, but Li Ming is also difficult to get out of trouble.
Ni Shuang suddenly felt bad, picked up Yan Yu's horn, and smashed it into the entrenched outer body.
Poof! Poof!
Chu Ying's electric shock bombs fired rapidly, connected in a line, and also attacked from a distance.
Instead of lifting its entrenchment, the snake dragon, which felt the severe pain, was stimulated and pecked downward.
While!
There was a crashing sound, and the snake dragon's neck fell backwards.
After quickly shaking his head, his slightly narrowed vertical pupils carefully examined the human beings below.
"Humph!"
Li Ming, who raised the shield, snorted twice and continued to take half a step forward.
The snake peck again.
While!
This time, the body suppressed the swing in advance, and the head of the snake dragon leaned back not so severely.
But judging from the posture of rapid retreat, it still failed to break through Li Ming's defense.
Oh!
The angry snake dragon let out a roar, and the frequency of the tail chirping armor trembled again.
Li Ming had just resisted the impact of the sound wave, and when he approached another fierce peck, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.
