Chapter 257 Prepare to ascend the dragon!
The attack target of the sand ship group shifted from the belly of the Lingshan Dragon to behind the purple crystal cluster behind it.
Regardless of whether the combat goal of weakening its physical strength can be achieved, at least Lingshan Dragon has become much calmer.
The reason is actually very simple - it doesn’t hurt to hit it there.
Those vein-like purple crystal clusters seem to grow on the back of Lingshan Dragon, but they are not part of the biological tissue. At most, they are some secretions. The former will naturally not feel pain.
Thus, a long war of attrition began.
The ultimate goal of the Sand Ship Group is not to kill the Lingshan Dragon. In fact, this majestic creature with a body length of more than one hundred meters is almost impossible to be killed by external forces.
They only need to block the forward route of Lingshan Dragon and keep Lingshan Dragon away from Lockak.
However, this goal is not as easy to achieve as it sounds.
Lockakla seemed to have something attracting Fengshan Dragon and Lingshan Dragon.
The sand fleet could only force Lingshan Dragon to change its route by continuously attacking and then using restraint bombs to pull it.
No one knows when Lingshan Dragon will get tired, give up and leave.
Until then, they can only hold on.
Fortunately, those who work hard in this "banquet in the desert" will always be rewarded.
Whenever the bullets of the heavy bed crossbow hit the purple crystals on the back of the Lingshan dragon, crystal fragments would collapse.
The effect of the artillery is even more remarkable, each shell can blow up a large piece.
These crystals are scattered on the sand sea, reflecting attractive fluorescence under the moonlight.
When the battle is over, the Sand Ship Group will collect these crystals. No one will doubt the value of these crystals. Ordinary businessmen are not even qualified to buy them!
At that time, everyone will receive generous rewards.
So the captain of the ship does not need to worry about morale at all, he is worried about other things.
When the moon reached its zenith, what he worried about most finally happened.
——The crew member responsible for managing the arsenal came over and reported in a low voice that the remaining heavy crossbow shells on the dragon-attacking ship were less than 30% and the cannon shells were less than 20%.
This is also thanks to his temporary order to carry more ammunition before departure, otherwise the ammunition may have been exhausted by this time.
This can’t go on like this!
The effect of destroying the crystal on the back of Lingshan Dragon is still unknown. If the last ammunition is used up, then they will be too passive.
"Command all ships to stop attacking!" the captain of the ship ordered in a low voice.
While the trumpeter and flag bearer conveyed the order, the captain of the ship took out his telescope and carefully observed the movements of Lingshan Dragon.
The latter's state is quite calm. Although it is a bit risky, it can only do this for now.
"Teams 4, 56 and 456 are cruising on standby. Team 1, 2 and 3, together with Mineyama Maru, aim at the back and fire restraint bombs in preparation for climbing the dragon."
After the order was issued, Mineyama Maru and others participated in the climb. The dragon's sand boats fired restraint bombs in unison, connecting the hull to the Lingshan Dragon.
Since the impact points of the restraint bombs were on the thick part of the Lingshan Dragon's back carapace and did not penetrate deep into the skin, it just twisted its body and did not react too violently.
This made the captain of the ship heave a sigh of relief.
“Stick it up!”
The winch rotated rapidly, driving the dragon-fighting boat and the sand boat to get closer to the Lingshan Dragon.
Hunters and members of the fortress guerrillas came to the side of the ship one after another, checking the equipment, rubbing their hands and moving their limbs.
It's their turn to take the field.
Gordon Hayata and Pork Chop also retreated from the positions of heavy bed crossbows and artillery, and joined the team that climbed into the dragon.
This is their "job".
“Hey!”
With a muffled sound of “bang”, Maridan jumped directly from the high platform at the stern to the side of the ship.
If the deck hadn't been made of tough cloudwood, it would have been smashed through by this fierce woman armed with a sledgehammer.
She twisted her thick neck and made a heart-breaking "click" sound.
“It’s been a long time, and I’ve only swung a hammer once, and it was on the gong. My bones were itchy.”
Gordon put on his helmet, adjusted it, and smiled. He joked: "Senior Maridan, please calm down for a while and don't try to make a big spin and throw us all out."
"Hahaha!"
"Then our small body is really too much to bear!"
A few hunters and guerrillas nearby shouted together.
The forthright "Black Boom Dragon" didn't mind this kind of ridicule at all. She bared her white teeth and said: "Okay, I will work harder in a while so that you don't feel the pain."< br>
Everyone burst into laughter again, and some of the tension in their hearts dissipated.
The dragon-fighting boat also got close to Lingshan Dragon at this time.
"I'm going to charge first!" Maridan yelled without even looking at the rope.
The legs jumped up with force, turned a few somersaults in the air, and then landed on the stubby legs of Lingshan Dragon. Using the raised carapace on the rough skin of Lingshan Dragon, he quickly climbed up the dragon. back.
The combatants cheered. Some climbed up the rope, while others imitated Maridan and jumped onto the dragon's legs. Each showed their magical powers and quickly climbed onto the dragon.
Hayata's movements were swift and agile. During the climb, he didn't even use his hands. He touched the ridges on his carapace with his feet and leaped up.
Gordon, who was wearing heavy armor and carrying a big sword on his back, was more numb. He was very strong, but his flexibility was not as good as the former, so he had to climb up honestly, using his hands and feet.
The people who climbed onto the Lingshan Dragon's Back quickly dispersed.
There is no need to choose the attack position, and there is nothing to choose. There are large pieces of purple crystal clusters as far as the eye can see. Gordon randomly found a place that had been bombarded by artillery shells. It was full of cracks and looked relatively loose. Stand still.
Draw your sword and prepare to charge up your sword.
“Bang!”
The Fire Dragon Sword slashed down, and as flames burst out, large chunks of crystal collapsed.
Not resistant to high temperatures?
Gordon grinned when he saw this.
Strong charged stance, strong charged slash, followed closely by the most powerful true charged slash!
A set of charged combos ended, and the huge crystal cluster as tall as a person in front of Gordon had completely shattered into countless fragments.
“Aha! Well done, look at me!”
The muscles of Maridan's arms stood high, and the hammer [Daihu Maru] was like a continuous hammer to the crystal cluster, followed by a round upward swing (home run, or pressure), the same Easily smashing the crystal clusters in front of her,
In terms of damage capabilities alone, heavy weapons such as swords and sledgehammers have unparalleled advantages.
In comparison, Hayata, who uses the sword, is a little embarrassed.
Several consecutive strikes to build up the power of the sword, a red light of the air blade floated on the Fei Long Dao [Kui], Hayata let out a light drink, and launched the air blade to slash!
The sword flashed quickly.
However, a whole set of cuts only left a few long, narrow and deep knife marks on the purple crystal cluster in front of her.
Such an attack may be able to easily cut off the monster's muscles, but there is nothing you can do with "stones" like crystal clusters.
Not far from Hayata, Cessna, who had just climbed onto the back of the dragon, behaved in the same way.
She drew her swords and the blades clashed.
The ghosts dance wildly!
After a while of tinkling, the crystal cluster was no big deal, but it numbed her wrist.
An old member of the fortress guerrillas who climbed up behind her saw this and said angrily: "What are you doing, use a pickaxe!"
"Oh!" Sina blushed and put away her swords, then took off the pickaxe from her back.
Hayata suddenly understood and imitated the others. She sheathed the knife and prepared to pull out the pickaxe and strike the crystal cluster.
But at this moment, Pork Chop’s labored voice came from below.
"Help, help me, meow meow."
Hayata looked over and was surprised to find that the pork chop, which was only a little over one meter tall, was actually holding a super giant explosive barrel about two meters high, and struggled hard Climbed up. (End of this chapter)
