Chapter 766: A long wait
The sword once again clashed with the wing blade, and after deflecting the Yue Xunlong's attack away, Hayata felt a little confident.
As a rare species of Velociraptor, the advantages of Moon Velociraptor are mainly reflected in its elusive stealth ability and its fur carapace which is far tougher than the original species.
With the sharpness of her white sword [Moon Shadow], she was unable to successfully break through the defense of Yue Xunlong's forelimbs, and the blade was bounced away.
In comparison, the power of Yue Xunlong can only be said to be quite satisfactory. It may be stronger than the original Velociraptor, but it is also limited.
This is very good news.
Tachi is a purely offensive weapon. It does not have a shield like a gun or spear, nor can it block and defend like a sword.
Facing the monster's attack, there are only two options available: dodge and parry the deflection attack.
If the opponent's prey is too strong, it will not be so easy to use the thin and slender blade of the tachi to deflect the attack. If you can only dodge, you will have far fewer tactical options.
Now, perhaps you can choose to try a head-on fight, which can create a better attack window for the two fellow shooters.
After swiping two swords quickly and leaving two different and not itchy wounds on Yue Xunlong's head, Hayata's attack slowed down a bit and was not greedy for the knife.
Seeing the muscles of Yue Xunlong's forelimbs tightening, she immediately stepped forward and retreated three or four meters as if a spring was attached to her feet.
After Yi Jianqie avoided the Yue Xunlong's grasp, she didn't even pause in her movements and fought back with her blade.
The sword and the sharp claws of Yuexunlong followed closely.
Going up is not an action suitable for exerting force. Although this sword is sudden and sharp, it cannot compete with the sharp claws coming at it. The force of Yue Xunlong's attack clearly has the upper hand.
The sword was swatted away by it, but it didn't bother him.
This head-on battle caused Hayata's momentum to rise rapidly.
The Yue Xunlong, with its extremely keen perception, noticed this, and was shocked. This monster, which was naturally cunning and cautious to an exaggerated degree, did not choose to take advantage of the situation and pursue it, but instead jumped sideways.
The blue body was like salt thrown into the water, melting into the moonlight and mist, and disappearing.
Hayata lost her opponent just as her momentum increased and her fighting rhythm was interrupted, which was very uncomfortable.
She knew that the Moon Swift Dragon had not left yet, but was hiding in the mist, ready to launch a surprise attack at any time, so she sheathed her sword and gathered herself together, alerting her to the attack that might come at any time.
"Seven o'clock!"
Gale's reminder sounded suddenly, along with the roar of a series of crossbow shells.
Hayata turned around quickly, and an illusory figure invisible to the naked eye emerged from the mist and pounced towards her.
She did not dodge or avoid, but instead strode forward, turned around and swung her blade to meet the attack.
Iai!
The two passed each other, and as Hayata turned around and charged forward, the wing blade of Yue Xunlong fell into the air, but the sword wrapped with the fierce sword energy was soft and soft on its waist. Cut a large fine mark everywhere.
"Wow~!" Gale let out a strange scream that may have been in admiration, and at the same time quickly turned the muzzle.
Yue Xunlong, who had an injury to his waist and made a miss, staggered when he landed. This flaw was very short, but it was enough for an excellent shooter.
A series of penetrating bullets fell on Yuexunlong's head like a torrential rain. The wounds caused by these crossbow bullets were not large, but very, very deep. The cone-shaped bullets were stuck deep in the muscles and even bones, causing pain. Deyue Xunlong roared again and again.
At the same time, an arrow as thick as a short spear struck from the darkness.
With the help of gunpowder, the Dragon Arrow roared sharply and penetrated deeply into the soft parts of the Moon Swift Dragon's flank that were not covered by the carapace bristles.
The one-meter-long arrow body was almost completely submerged.
“Gah ah ah ah—!”
“Wow, it’s so painful to scream.” Feng Ying looked back, “So don’t mess with women, especially female hunters. .”
Anhir glanced at her.
It sounds like you are not a woman or a hunter.
“Concentrate, we are approaching the ancient pagoda.” Gordon, who was running at the front of the team, warned.
Feng Ying quickly retracted her attention to the battlefield in the distance and became alert to her surroundings.
The so-called ancient pagoda ruins are not just a single tower, but a group of ruins covering an area of several square kilometers.
The area where Hayata and others fought was on the outskirts of the ruins group.
In addition to the ancient tower located in the central area, you can also see a large number of ancient architectural remnants similar to stone pillars, giant stone gates, and stone bridges in the ruins group.
It’s hard to guess what kind of place this was during ancient civilization.
The ancient tower was already in sight, and it was only then that the hunters realized how huge this ruin was.
Not to mention the top of the tower, which is deep into the clouds and cannot be seen when looking up, even running around the bottom of the tower will probably take a lot of time.
Gordon suddenly raised a fist, and the three-man team stopped.
"Stay alert and take a short rest." Gordon looked up and looked at this ancient giant tower that could not be built with today's technology. The feeling of depression in his heart was indescribable.
What kind of existence lives here?
Although he felt depressed, the reason why Gordon stopped was not because of this.
He came to a broken stone pillar near the entrance of the ancient pagoda. There was a message left by Pig Chop in charcoal on it.
An Xil also noticed this, but did not rush to get close. Instead, he followed Feng Ying, who was full of curiosity, to watch the surroundings.
Soon, Gordon came back with a slightly weird look.
"What's going on?" Anhir asked.
“Zhupa said he saw a unicorn on the ground floor, which means don’t enter directly from the entrance on the ground floor, but take the stone steps outside to go around.”
“Qilin?!”
< br>
Anhil looked stunned, "There is a unicorn on the first floor? What kind of ghosts are there on the top?"
"I don't know."
Gordon raised his head again and looked at Gu tower.
The ancient pagoda is built on a very huge, layered foundation stone platform. There is an entrance at the bottom of the stone platform. You can enter directly, or you can climb up the stone platform through the steps and cross the stone platform built inside. Ground floor.
"Are you sure it's the message left by Pig Chop?" Due to everything that happened before, Ancier seemed a little suspicious.
"Well, I can still recognize its handwriting, and it also drew a simple cat face at the end, which is its habitual signature."
"Okay."
Anhil said warily He stared at the entrance to the dark hole at the bottom of the stone platform, fearing that some thunder would suddenly strike from inside.
“Let’s go up the stairs and wait until we get to the stone platform. Stay alert.”
Having made the decision, Gordon no longer hesitated and led his companions away from the entrance at the bottom of the stone platform. Climb up the stone steps that have long been covered with moss and have become slippery.
The stone platform that serves as the base of the ancient pagoda occupies a large area, but its height is not too exaggerated, nor is it steep. After a few minutes, the hunters arrived at the top of the stone platform.
The hunters were very nervous after learning that there was a unicorn nearby.
Gordon, who was the first to reach the top of the stone platform, looked around, hoping to find the entrance to the ancient tower as soon as possible and enter it to avoid a long night and many dreams.
Then his expression froze.
On the stone platform, a purple-black monster filled with freezing air was standing there quietly, staring at them with pure red eyes, as if it had been waiting for a long time. (End of chapter)
