Chapter 1106 Fog and Miasma
"Amber! Take Ai Bo out of here!" Feng Ying shouted sharply, at the same time she put away her weapon and accelerated running, moving.
With two wings, four legs, a very standard skeleton of an ancient dragon species, and a broken body like a severely rotted corpse, the attacker is undoubtedly the target of their investigation - the Corpse Dragon.
Of course she has read the reports of Gordon and others' battle with the Corpse Dragon, and knows how dangerous the miasma released by the Corpse Dragon is.
Therefore, she did not plan to start a war immediately. After all, the other party was not coming for them.
At least until Kohaku took April to retreat to a safe location, she wanted to avoid a fight breaking out as much as possible.
"Be careful!" Ai Bo knew that she would only become a burden if she stayed. She quickly took out a few flint stones from the bag around her waist and threw them to Feng Ying, "These can dispel the miasma, maybe It'll come in handy."
After saying that, she jumped onto Amber's back. Amber growled and sped up, and the man and the dog went away in the blink of an eye, disappearing into the intricate underground cave.
While staying away from the charging path of the Corpse Dragon, Feng Ying carefully observed this mysterious ancient dragon that could be seen by humans on one hand.
The first time she saw it, the Poisonous Monster Dragon fell from the top of the "most disgusting monster rankings" in her mind to the second position.
As for the strange dragon thing, compared to this guy, it's just chubby and adorable.
But Feng Ying also had some doubts in her heart.
The appearance of this dragon seems to be somewhat different from what Master Gordon and the others described.
According to Master Gordon and the others, the Corpse Dragon is emaciated, covered in ulcers, and covered with stinky flesh and fascia. It looks like a highly corrupted living corpse.
These descriptions basically match.
But what's going on with those big clumps of white, white and green hyphae and sporangia?
It is impossible for Master Gordon and the others to miss such an obvious feature.
Then it can only be new growth. But it doesn’t make sense? Doesn’t it mean that the life form of the ancient dragon species is very stable and not prone to mutation?
Did you stay in the Valley of Miasma for several years without getting any sunlight, and it turned moldy?
While Feng Ying was thinking wildly, the poor Deter, who had been chased around by the corpse dragon, finally found a hidden rock crevice and got into it.
Possibly due to the influence of rot and the fact that the eyes are covered by sporangia, which interferes with vision, the response speed and flexibility of the cadaver dragon are relatively poor.
It couldn't stop and hit the rock wall where the crack was.
The Corpse Dragon, which is not known for its physical strength and muscle power, was not able to knock down the rock wall suit. It only knocked down some broken rocks and stalactites, which clattered onto its body.
Looking at the corpse dragon that knocked her out, Feng Ying’s serious expression became a little difficult to understand.
Why do you think this ancient dragon is a bit stupid?
She slowed down, stepped lightly, suppressed her breath, and quickly put on the invisibility clothes.
In the past few days, the clues and traces she and Aibo collected have clearly marked the movement trajectory of the corpse dragon.
The phenomenon that the life state of the cadaver dragon has changed and a large number of sporangia and hyphae have proliferated on its body is also very important information.
The investigation mission has been completed and she plans to retreat.
As for hunting ancient dragons, making plans for new equipment
Not to mention the importance of the Corpse Dragon to the Valley of Miasma, and even the ecological cycle of the entire New World, this appearance alone completely eliminated the idea of using Corpse Dragon materials as equipment.
Ugly, smelly, dirty, and disgusting!
Feng Ying quietly moved away, but at this moment, a gray-white spore mist mixed with miasma spread out along with the roar of the corpse dragon.
In the blink of an eye, it filled the entire cave, and naturally enveloped Feng Ying, who was secretly retreating.
Feng Ying realized that this was not just a miasma. The miasma-resistant protective stone could inactivate the microorganisms that constituted the miasma, but it was ineffective against the smoke-like spores.
She didn't want to get mushrooms in her lungs, so she quickly put on the filter mask and goggles that she had taken off before.
However, at the moment when the miasma and spore fog enveloped her, the shakily dragon, who was about to return to its lair to continue sleeping, suddenly turned its head.
It feels the breath of life.
Feng Ying also stopped at the same time. She knew that she had been discovered by the other party.
"giuyaa——!" The corpse dragon let out a weird scream.
More spore mist spurted out from the swollen spore sacs on its chest, raising a thick fog that blurred vision in the closed underground cave.
The spores landed on her armor, and the miasma-resistant protective stone emitted a hazy light as if it had been stimulated.
Feng Ying suddenly realized the role of those spores.
Unless the environmental conditions are particularly suitable, it is difficult for the microorganisms that make up the miasma to survive in the air for a long time.
So even in the Valley of Miasma, not all areas have miasma distributed.
These spores provide an excellent habitat for the microorganisms in the miasma, allowing them to survive longer in the air and spread farther.
No wonder that the Sarcosaur, which rarely leaves the core area of Miasma Valley, has been able to wander around in the outer areas. The existence of these spores provides it with the possibility of long-distance migration.
It is gradually adapting to the outside environment!
Feng Ying even suspected that the sporangia on the body of the cadaver dragon had completed symbiosis with the miasma microorganisms.
If these miasma-carrying spores are spread to a warm and moist area like the ancient tree forest, suitable for the growth of fungi.
As the spores grow into fungi, releasing more spores, the microbial miasma can quickly spread throughout the forest.
When I think of the lush and lush forest, due to the arrival of the cadaver dragon, it turned into a ghostland filled with spores and miasma, and the creatures in the forest turned into rotting but not dead living corpses.
She had the urge to deal with the corpse dragon here immediately to avoid future troubles, but her rationality told her that doing so would only cause greater ecological chaos.
What to do.
Feng Ying exhaled slowly, calming down the chaotic emotions.
It would be too idealistic to defeat the corpse dragon alone on the spot. Regardless of whether she can do this, it is hard to say whether she has the strength to do it.
Master Gordon has never hunted an ancient dragon alone
The most important thing now is to bring the news back so that the scholars and the commander-in-chief can understand the hidden dangers here.
"Jiiya——!" The Corpse Dragon screamed again, lowered its body, and was ready to attack.
It seems that it does not intend to go back to its respective homes and allow itself to retreat easily.
Feng Ying drew out her sword again and put up a large shield, "Then I'll hurt you first so that you don't dare to run around for a short time!"
After such a low shout, she rushed towards you first. The corpse-clothed dragon charged.
Sitting at the ecological apex of the Miasma Valley, the Corpse Dragon would naturally not show weakness. With its withered but still powerful limbs, it clawed at the ground and started a hedge against the hunter.
At the moment when the two were about to collide, Feng Ying suddenly threw the insect to the side. Pulled by the thread, she who was charging at high speed a second ago flew six flying insects to the side. seven meters.
Missed the head-on collision with the Dracula.
Before the Corpse Dragon had time to react, she twisted her steps and used force, going around to the side and behind the Corpse Dragon, and then launched a sudden slash.
The whole person almost turned into an afterimage, and in a flash he came to the heel of the corpse dragon, and the heavy sword swung down.
The Corpse Dragon's reaction speed was slightly slower, but she still did not greedy for the sword. After jumping sideways to adjust her position, she quickly slashed out two swords again, and then immediately inserted the sword into the shield to charge the shield.
The energy accumulated by these simple swords is only enough to open the red shield, but it is enough for her.
After these years of actual combat, she has long lost the bad habit of being a novice when she first came into contact with the shield axe. She must accumulate the energy in the sword before doing gymnastics like opening a red shield.
With a soft "chi" sound, the edge of the large shield became hot, and the red shield was turned on.
The Corpse Dragon has also turned around. It stretched out its neck like a snake, and bit her with its dark yellow fangs stained with corpse poison.
Feng Ying immediately turned around, split the sword and shield with a turning attack, and simultaneously raised the large shield.
The action of turning back and retreating relieved her of a large part of the monster's attack. The precise timing of defense allowed her to receive the blow steadily.
Her waist and legs were as tight as springs. The moment she completed the precise defense, she immediately inserted the sword into the shield and switched to the giant ax form. With the force of the rebound, she slashed the giant ax hard. Return it.
"Super! Solution!"
Ps. The super solution of an empty bottle is also a super solution! (End of this chapter)
