The cave was filled with a high concentration of magic power, and at the same time, there was also a purple crystal giant scorpion infested, all of which indicated that what was buried under this mountain was probably a vein of magic crystal raw ore.

Because this vein is located within the territory of Linfeng City, Linfeng City is bound to obtain it.

And how to solve the Xiahui Dragon guarding outside the cave has become a problem they have to face now.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if there is no treasure in the cave, the Xiahui Dragon must be expelled.

It's too close to a human stronghold, and it's impossible for Peak City to place its resources and guards in peace with it.

So, after obtaining information about the cave and the glowing dragon, Evelyn immediately invited Ryan to discuss the battle plan.

"If you want to fight, you have to do it with the determination to crusade, not expel you." After listening to the cause and effect, Ryan said.

The Radiant Dragon likes places where its magic is abundant, and it undoubtedly regards this cave as its new territory, and it will not give it up so easily.

Moreover, the wisdom of high-level demonic beasts is already comparable to that of humans, and they are all vengeful beasts.

Once they have an enmity with them, if they let the tiger return to the mountain, I am afraid that there will be troubles in the future.

"Seventh-order wurm species...... Noren listened to their conversation and looked at Ryan, "The only one in the city who has the strength to contend with the Xiahui Dragon head-on is probably only you, the head of the regiment, right?" ”

Xia Hui Dragon is also considered to be the top existence among the seventh-order demonic beasts, and ordinary seventh-order knights are not its opponents, only eighth-order knight Ryan can win against it.

"I can defeat it, but I'm not sure I'll be able to kill it."

Ryan shook his head, "The Xiahui Dragon can fly, because it has the blood of the dragon clan, and its vitality is also very strong.

"And we've never fought against it, and we don't know exactly how it fights.

"If I join the fight and can't immediately incapacitate it, it's likely to alert it. If it escapes early, it will not be able to achieve the purpose of the crusade. ”

The office fell silent, and Nolan muttered, "We should send a team of comparable strength to fight it first, so that we can not alarm it, but also understand its specific strengths and weaknesses."

"When we have complete certainty of defeating it, let Captain Ryan make a move and give it the final blow at the critical moment."

"Not bad." Evelyn nodded, "Let's let the Knights get to the bottom of it." ”

The Knights have a total of 9 seventh-order knights and 8 sixth-order mages, although everyone who pulls out alone is not the opponent of Xia Hui Dragon, but the unity is enough to put a lot of pressure on it.

Ryan had no objection to this, and the battle plan was quickly drawn up, and before the sun set, he left Peak City with the remaining members of the Knights and ran in the direction of the Peak Mountains.

"New Magic Crystal Ore Vein, ......"

Evelyn opened the window and looked at the sunset in the distance, "If you had known that we had veins, you wouldn't have had to negotiate with Flamel for so long a few days ago. ”

"But it's not for nothing." Nolan smiled, "On the bright side, at least we have a partnership with Flamel.

"In addition to the magic crystals, they also provided us with other technical support related to the magic guide, which is also a good thing for us."

In addition, there is also a good thing that once Peak City is free from its dependence on Flamel's magic crystal, Flamel will have a lot less chips in his hand.

If it was said that they had the strength to hide their core alchemy achievements before, and only traded the alchemy technology of magic crystals and leftovers with Linfeng City.

In the future, if they still want to reach a cooperative relationship with Linfeng City, they will have to present all their most valuable alchemy results.

For example, transcendent elixirs, human refining techniques, and so on......

Well, if you don't slaughter them once, wouldn't you waste the wonderful favor that God had bestowed on Linfeng City?

……

Due to the great importance attached to this mine, Linfeng City has gathered most of its top combat power in the Linfeng Mountain Range area.

In just one day, the Knights and the Peak Legion swept away the invading group of demonic beasts in the vicinity, and at the same time, according to the plan, an elite team composed of all seventh-order knights and sixth-order mages began to advance towards the direction of the cave.

Yuna piloted Valkyrie and followed the flanks of the elite squad, serving as battle observation and fire support.

Ryan hid his breath and hung a hundred meters away from the team.

In principle, he will not shoot in this fight, but will just come over to play an insurance role.

"Xiahui Dragon, it's the first time I've seen a dragon demonic beast."

In the squad, Julius was in high spirits, "Whoever can cut off its head today will be our dragon slayer warrior!" ”

There are seven seventh-order knights and five sixth-order mages gathered in this elite squad, each of whom is a leader and an elite-level figure in the knight team, except for the regimental leader Ryan, they are the top combat power in Linfeng City.

"Don't take it lightly." Agaté said in a deep voice, "Even if it's a wurm species, it's not something that ordinary seventh-order demonic beasts can match, our mission this time is just a temptation, don't be too desperate." ”

"Haha, it's just talking, don't be so serious."

Julius slammed, who could sit in the position of captain be an arrogant fool.

After casual chat, the team reached the designated coordinates, and after passing through the forest, they saw the landslide collapsed mountain, and a winged wyvern in dark green scale armor entrenched next to the mountain.

It is the seventh-order demonic beast Xia Hui Dragon mentioned by intelligence.

Seeing them intrude into his territory, the Radiant Dragon straightened up and roared at them with its glass-colored wings.

Several seventh-order knights gathered, and even it had to be taken seriously.

"Disperse!"

An elderly seventh-order knight in the team took the lead in dismounting, and gave the order while wielding his bow and arrows.

He was the deputy head of the Order and the leader of the second squad, Guderian, and he commanded the battle on the spot.

The members of the squad dismounted and scattered, and for the high-ranking knights, the mobility and impact of their physical explosions were even higher than with the help of horses.

After the formation was opened, Guderian aimed at the eyes of the Radiant Dragon and fired the first arrow, kicking off the battle.

His bow was a special knight's hard bow, which could only be pulled by the strength of high-ranking knights supplemented by magic power, and the arrows shot were also extremely fast, and they arrived in front of the dragon in the blink of an eye with a tearing sound of breaking through the air.

Xia Huilong seemed to have just woken up from his nap, and was preempted by this swift arrow, although he dodged sideways, but did not completely dodge.

Sharp arrows grazed the dark green scales of its face, revealing a visible scar from which dots of blood could be faintly seen.

A good start?

Unexpectedly, Guderian's first arrow injured Xia Huilong, and everyone was slightly stunned, and then their morale was boosted by this unexpected joy.

Heh, even if it was a dragon beast that blew it before the war, it would be injured if it was hit by them?

They are also seventh-order, and they also have a numerical advantage, so there is nothing to be afraid of at all.

Taking advantage of the first move, Julius came to the flank of the Xiahui Dragon with a few moves, and with a deep sigh, the knight's sword in his hand slashed at the glass wings of the Xiahui Dragon.

At this moment, Guderian shouted, "Be careful—"

On this side, the injured Xiahui Dragon instantly entered a state of rage, it raised its wings and hissed sharply, with it as the center of the circle, a lightning field quickly unfolded.

Sixth-order lightning spell "Lightning Storm".

A large number of lightning fell from the sky, and blue-purple arcs of lightning scurried around the surface, forcing back the knights who tried to get close.

Julius hurriedly retreated, and at that moment, in the flash of lightning that fell, a huge dark green scythe split his vision in two, and slashed at him!

At the critical moment, he raised the arm shield of his left hand to block his chest, and the dark green scythe made a tooth-aching cutting sound on the arm shield, and the powerful force in it was so powerful that even the seventh-order knight could not resist it, and it was hit and flew upside down several meters away.

The Radiant Dragon leapt out of the lightning storm, its dark green scythe was nothing but its original glass-colored wings.

At this time, it was entangled in electricity, and the surface of its glass-colored wings hardened into the same dark green as its own scale armor, making it a killing weapon that could easily split mountains and rubble.

It flapped another wing towards Julius, who flew upside down, and Julius screamed that he was about to suffer, and at that moment, several magical barriers such as rock walls and ice crystals were erected in front of his eyes.

The high-ranking mage on the side stepped in to relieve him, and the wings of the Xiahui Dragon smashed the spell barrier, and Julius took advantage of this gap to catch his breath and retreat to the rear to regroup.

"Are you alright?" Agaté stood in front of him, "Don't try too hard. ”

"Who told me that 'Xia Hui Dragon is good at using spells', I thought melee combat was good for us!"

Julius covered his stuffy chest and said indignantly, "The physical strength of this beast is really unreasonable, don't fight the idea of close combat, we can't be tough enough to beat him!" ”

was slashed in the front of the wings of the Xiahui Dragon, and even his arm shield appeared with a visible gap, and its power can be seen.

"No, not really." Agaté said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid...... That's why it's changing. ”

If the physical strength of the Xia Hui Dragon had always been so strong, then the first arrow shot by Guderian should not have broken its defenses.

It should have been the electrified state of its whole body that temporarily strengthened its physical body, causing its strength to surpass that of the seventh-order knights.

"Defend and dodge with all your might!" Guderian retreated and exclaimed, "It won't last long!" ”

Everyone present could feel that since the beginning of the battle, Xia Hui Dragon has been releasing a large amount of magic power all the time to maintain the enhanced state of the whole body, and such a huge amount of magic power consumption will soon make its magic power run out.

However, defense, dodging...... Easy to say!

In the strengthened state, the strength of the Xiahui Dragon's physical body is comparable to that of an eighth-order demonic beast, and every attack it launches with its swing body is accompanied by thunder and lightning falling and trembling, and the seventh-order knights present are not even able to dodge head-on, let alone resist head-on.

Fortunately, there were enough seventh-order knights present, and they were all comrades-in-arms of the Knights, and they also had a tacit understanding of cooperation.

They took turns stepping forward to attract the attention of the Xia Hui Dragon, and as soon as one person was knocked away or injured, several people would immediately rush forward to attract firepower and pull its hatred back again.

Coupled with the mages in the outfield alternately casting defensive spells, it really restrained Xia Huilong for tens of seconds.

"It's running out of energy!"

Soon, Julius keenly noticed the change in the glow dragon, its attack was no longer as fierce as before, and its dark green wings were quietly disappearing back to their original glazed color.

It's just that after the knights experienced the ravages of Xia Hui Long, they were also full of blood and weakness, and it was difficult to organize a threatening counterattack for a while.

"Mage team, attack!" Guderian immediately ordered.

"Yes!"

The mages at the rear of the battlefield began to chant spells, casting high-level spells with the remaining mana.

In the sky, Yuna also raised the magic guide cannon and silently aimed the muzzle at the Xiahui Dragon.

With the combined efforts of the five high-level mages, the heavens and the earth changed color, and a large number of elements began to gather around them.

In order to avoid being affected by high-level spells, the knights retreated one after another.

Then, amid the sonorous chanting of the mages, a torrent of violent elementals poured out towards the Radiant Dragon!

"Ice Prison!"

"Hurricane roars!"

"Meteorite Falls!"

"Eye of the Storm!"

"The lifeblood withers!"

As soon as the Xia Hui Dragon covered its body with its wings, five sixth-order spells fell on its body one after another, completely enveloping its huge body.

Ice blooms, winds rage, rocks fall...... The vision of heaven and earth triggered by high-level spells is much more gorgeous than the knight's simple physical attack, and seeing that all the spells have hit the Xiahui Dragon, the hearts of those present are certain.

So many high-level spells smashed down, even if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin.

The chaotic elemental flow on the scene lasted for more than ten seconds before it began to gradually stabilize, and the dormant body of the Xiahui Dragon slowly emerged from the dust, and one of the mages in the mage team suddenly frowned:

"No...... right"

In his perception, Xia Hui Dragon's magical reaction was not dimmed by the baptism of high-level spells, on the contrary-

Its magical response is constantly improving!

"Be careful!" Guderian also sensed the increasingly strong magical reaction, and hurriedly reminded him.

"Boom!"

The next moment, with the roar of the Xia Hui Dragon, countless thunderbolts fell.

This time, the lightning storm it unleashed was even larger and more violent than before, completely enveloping it within a radius of several miles.

"How is it possible, where does it get so much magic!"

Julius was shocked to see the glowing dragon flutter its wings from the lightning storm, its glazed wings refracting a rainbow of dazzling light in the sunlight.

Those five sixth-order spells didn't even hurt it in the slightest!

Not only that, but its momentum continues unabated.

I saw a dazzling blue light on the crown of the head of the Xiahui Dragon, and countless electric arcs jumped on the surface of the blue light, and the blue light immediately condensed into a pillar of light, straight into the sky.

Seventh-order lightning spell: "Thor's Sword".

Under Julius' desperate gaze, the Radiant Dragon flicked his head, and the cyan Thor's sword slashed through the heavens and slashed at him.
