Chapter 855 What is this physiological structure?
“Accelerate! Keep accelerating!”
“The boiler is already running at full capacity!”
“Then overload! If you want to be Are you catching up?"
"Breathe!"
On the Dragon Sense Ship, there were endless shouts and screams, and a terrifying ancient dragon whose wings were spread out and was a full circle larger than the Dragon Sense Ship was chasing after it. It was impossible to say that he was not afraid.
"It is also accelerating slowly. If it continues like this, it will be overtaken!" the helmsman shouted.
The captain of the investigation team waved his hand, "It can't climb as fast as us! Distribute more power to the vertical engine, the air bag continues to heat, and rises at full speed!"
The boiler is screaming , the engine roared, and the hull and cables continued to make overwhelmed creaking sounds.
The original purpose of the Long Shi Ship's design was to be an "air research laboratory" that flies smoothly, rather than to be an air speedboat that turns and rises rapidly like it is now.
Fortunately, Ryūliyuan has invested a lot of resources into this dragon consciousness ship, including a keel made of giant beast bones, a directional sail sewn with fire dragon wing membranes, and a hull reinforced with various monster carapace
Even after it was completed and set sail, the strengthening project has not stopped. From time to time, the hunters of Ryuriyuan will receive the task of "strengthening the Dragon Sense Ship".
It is precisely thanks to these reinforcements that this giant aerial ship survived in the face of the entanglement and pursuit of the mysterious ancient dragon.
"Southwest! Smoke column!" the lookout lowered his telescope and reminded loudly.
The captain of the investigation team quickly ran to the side of the ship, "Get ready at the mill! Take the person behind to the direction of the smoke column! At the same time, continue to climb!"
To be honest, it is still unknown whether the smell of burning gunpowder and sulfur can really attract the mysterious ancient dragon behind, but at this time, I can't care so much.
Get answers from practice.
On the city wall, the Metabet hunters on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the dragon consciousness ship flying high in the sky with the ancient dragon in the direction of the mill.
The city was saved, at least temporarily.
President Zheluo grabbed a guild member, pointed at the dock area where the fire was still raging, and said loudly: "Let the vice president lead people to organize rescue and put out the fire!"
After saying this, he turned around and yelled at the hunters on the city wall: "Hunters with three stars and below continue to guard the city wall and look for opportunities to support the hunters on the silver side!
Four stars and above The hunter follows me to the mill and drives away the evil dragon there!"
Gordon, who was accumulating power and preparing to strike with real power, looked away for a moment. President Zheluo was looking at him. He took a dozen elite hunters and rushed to the mill where the gunpowder was buried.
The old guy has obviously experienced fighting against super giant ancient dragons, and he knows that Metabetat's city wall of less than ten meters and less than twenty meters is useless in front of a monster of that size.
It will collapse after a few hits. The only dragon gun on the wall may be of some use, but it definitely only has one chance to activate.
It is better to concentrate our elite forces to attack proactively, try to delay their pace and weaken their physical strength.
As for the result, leave it to fate.
Saying "take care" in his heart, Gordon withdrew his attention. The preparations for the real charged attack were completed, and he lowered his voice and swung down the sword.
Perhaps to facilitate movement, the cephalothorax of the Mantis does not have the protection of a large, thick carapace, which should be considered its weakness.
Even so, the hardness of the carapace, which seemed to be made of gold, was still astonishing. Gordon was deeply impressed by the experience of holding the Epitaph Sword and almost failing to break through the defense.
Fortunately, the ultimate sword [Shenwei] he is currently using will not cause such trouble.
The hook-shaped claw blade has a unique advantage in breaking through defenses.
The sword shaped like a dragon's jaw struck down, and the claw blade embedded deeply into the gap in the thoracic carapace of the mantis. As the sword continued to drag, the carapace was torn open, and the chest of the mantis was cut open. A huge wound over one meter long.
Emerald-green blood flew out, and the Mantis screamed and tried to stand up.
The slender, sharp and very powerful legs are swinging "clicking", trying to find a point of support to turn around.
One leg finally rested on the ground, and it was about to succeed.
Hayata, who was attacking the abdominal joint, suddenly interrupted the attack, rolled to the front of the leg, stood up and stabbed, and then a whole set of air blades burst out in an instant, followed by a large air blade. The spin was even more precise in cutting into the joints protected by the carapace.
"Ji Ya——"
The mantis screamed and fell back to the ground.
Gordon immediately stepped forward to adjust his position and came to the side of Ge Mantis's head, preparing for a new round of charged attacks. Ancil also entered a crouching shooting posture and fired continuously at an astonishing speed.
From the beginning of the battle, Pavilion Mantis has been suppressed.
As an ancient dragon-level creature recognized by the guild, even if it did not control the ruins city, it should not behave in such a mess.
But the supernova really blew it up a bit, and Gordon's subsequent rounds of charged slashes also seriously injured it.
This is the importance of seizing the opportunity. Except for those super giant ancient dragons with thick skin and exaggerated size, this strategy is suitable for almost any target.
By striking first, you can seize the initiative.
However, this is only temporary.
A flame-like red light ignited from the bright purple glands on the crown of the mantis' head that resembled eyes, and the sharp scream seemed to tear the human eardrum.
It twisted its abdominal segments and swung its dragon gun with silk thread, forcing the hunters around it to retreat. The inertia of dancing dragon gun also helped it turn over its body and stand up again.
"Ji Ya——!" There was another piercing scream.
Although it is not a language that humans can understand, anyone can feel the boundless anger from it.
The queen was furious.
“Be careful!” Gordon ducked to avoid the sharp legs swept by the Mantis, “It’s getting faster!”
Not just the swordsmen nearby, but Even Anhir, who was shooting from a safer position dozens of meters away, also received "care" from the Queen.
The dragon-killing gun with the golden worm threads dancing turned into an afterimage and hit the shooter.
Anhil quickly hugged the heavy crossbow and ran to avoid it. The dragon-shooting spear fell behind him, and the seven-eight-meter-long stainless steel spearhead sank nearly half of the way into the ground.
If such an attack falls on a human being, even if he is well-equipped with armor, he will be shattered into a bloody mist.
The mantis swung its body, and the golden worm thread pulling at the end of the dragon-killing gun tightened instantly. With a "boom" sound, the dragon-killing gun inserted into the ground was pulled out.
“Tsk.”
Such a scene made Ancier, who kept running and looking for a relatively safe shooting position, unable to help but be speechless.
The head of the dragon-shooting gun has many sharp barbs. The power of pulling out the dragon-shooting gun that was submerged in the ground is much more terrifying than the throwing dragon-shooting gun.
The same is true when manipulating the Iron Ruins City. It is really difficult to understand the body structure of this creature. The power displayed when using worm silk to manipulate objects is much stronger than when directly waving the blade arms and legs.
The other side , Ge Mantis pulled back the dragon-shooting spear and swept it around him, preparing to repel the hunters approaching again.
Its learning ability is very strong. If this trick has been successful before, it will be used frequently.
It even intentionally lowered the height when swinging the dragon lance, so that hunters could not avoid the attack by rolling.
Faced with such an attack, most swordsmen have no particularly good way to deal with it except to use their swords to force it, but Gordon is different.
He was glad that he had learned that move from the Bushido-style swordsmen of Ryukokuin.
Faced with the dragon gun that was sweeping towards him, Gordon accelerated his steps, jumped up at the moment when he was about to be smashed by the dragon gun, and turned on his back to avoid the dragon gun.
Turning in the air and landing, he strode forward and at the same time, he raised the big sword in his hand and slashed, causing the Mantis to shriek and retreat.
This kind of attack that seizes the opportunity between life and death seems to be particularly conducive to the accumulation of "courage".
Gordon took a breath and entered a state of courage.
At the same time, Hayata, who had avoided the attack with a slash, stared at Ge Mantis with his sword.
A flash of blue light also flashed in her eyes. (End of this chapter)
