Chapter 1443: A sudden turn of events
While the shooters attacked with all their strength, the swordsmen were not idle either.
If it is an ordinary large monster, the swordsmen can only hide far away if they do not want to become cannon fodder when the heavy crossbow fire is spread.
But the red dragon is big enough.
Coupled with Gale's special order to lock the target's front body and focus the fire, this made the red dragon's back body, at least around the tail, relatively safe.
That big tail, which was probably twenty meters long, was dragging outside the pit. From a certain angle, it was quite tempting.
The larger the monster, the more critical its body balance is.
If this tail can be cut off, it will definitely have a huge impact on the Red Dragon's actions.
Of course, cutting off the entire tail from the root would definitely have the best effect, but Gordon considered himself a pragmatic person.
The diameter of the base of the red dragon's tail near the tail is nearly two meters, which is longer than the blade of a great sword.
If I can cut it off from here, why should I bother cutting off the tail? Why not just cut off the red dragon's head?
So, Gordon led the heavy weapon swordsmen to the middle and rear section of the tail, the thinner part.
It just so happens that there are a few wounds here, I don’t know which ancient dragon left them.
No one needs to direct, the heavy swordsmen each seize the time and prepare.
Ted was the first to take action.
He raised his gun, thrust it into the deepest wound, and pulled the trigger hard.
"Dragon Cannon!"
"Rumble——!"
The wound was obviously enlarged by the fierce cannon, but Ted's attack It's not over yet.
Ted, who was knocked back half a step by the recoil, raised his gun again and thrust the tip of the gun deeper into the blackened wound.
With a muffled "bang" sound, he drove a special spike into the deepest part of the wound.
This is the detonating Longhang bomb.
After completing the task, Ted grinned widely and stepped away.
Following this was Feng Ying’s full-throated “Get the hell out of me!”.
The power of a full bottle of super solution is extraordinary. Continuous bursts of ice energy raged in the wound on the red dragon's tail.
The detonating dragon bomb Ted had driven in was also detonated continuously. As the charge advanced, the stakes penetrated deeper into the wound.
The detonating Longhang bomb, which had exhausted its internal charge, finally completed its mission and fell off from the wound.
At this time, through the wound, the white coccyx deep inside could be seen.
“Dragon Climb!”
“True Charged Slash!”
Powerful slashes packed with extremely cold air and high-intensity dragon energy landed on the bones of the red dragon's tail.
Any of these attacks can easily cut off the tail bone of the flying dragon, but the red dragon's bones are unusually hard.
Several heavy-weapon swordsmen relayed on each other and attacked with all their strength, but they could only cut off less than half of the red dragon's tail.
If you really want to dock the tail, you have to do it at least two or three times at the same location.
But Chilong obviously will not give them such a chance.
The long tail swung, forcing the swordsmen back.
The attacks of the archers continued, but Chilong stood upright despite the onslaught of crossbow fire.
Seeing this, Anhir immediately folded and put away the heavy ballista with a hot barrel, and while running, he shouted: "The attack is coming! Avoid it!"
Everyone started to rush. Stop attacking and disperse.
The blazing beam of light was condescending and swept past the red dragon.
A series of explosions followed, forcing the hunters to flee in panic.
This attack reminded Gordon and the others of the energy torrent sweep of the Dark Lantern Dragon.
Different from the Dark Lantern Dragon, the Red Dragon's attack is obviously more controllable and solid, using less energy, but its power is two levels stronger.
After all, the breath of the Dark Lantern Dragon can burn the ground red, but it cannot detonate rocks like the Red Dragon.
What is even more unsettling.
The red dragon is completely using the remaining energy in its body to attack. This can be seen from the fact that the iconic bright light does not appear under its body when it absorbs the energy of the earth's veins.
The Dark Lantern Dragon cannot do this. It can only breathe out while absorbing the energy of the earth veins like a water pipe.
What the young Dark Lantern Dragon can do, can the adult Red Dragon not be able to do?
Of course it’s impossible.
The only reason it doesn't do this is that the energy of the nearby ley lines has been exhausted.
If the battlefield were at the convergence place where the energy of the New World's earth veins gathered, this battle would have been impossible to fight.
Gordon had just felt such joy in his heart when he saw the red dragon spreading its dragon wings.
What kind of wings are those? The wingspan on one side is more than thirty meters. It is not an exaggeration to say that it can cover the sky and the sun.
"It's getting out of here! Stop it!" the professor yelled.
The shooters risked their lives by deploying their weapons and firing with all their might.
Others also tried to use flash bombs, sonic boom bombs and other props to interfere.
But Chilong was not moved at all.
The air flow created when the Zhetian Dragon's wings flapped almost formed a storm. The hunters retreated uncontrollably, while the Red Dragon took the opportunity to take off and fly in a certain direction.
Gordon's face was gloomy, "There really is no way to trap it here. I'm afraid a protracted battle cannot be avoided.
The shooters took the time to return to the camp to replenish ammunition, and the swordsmen followed suit. I chase!”
Amidst the sound of whistles, the pterosaurs hovering high in the sky swooped down and took the hunters into the sky.
Gordon was mentally prepared to chase the red dragon all the way to the New World, but the flight path of the red dragon was completely different from what they imagined.
The red dragon did not rise into the sky at all, and did not even completely fly out of the Valley of Silence.
After climbing near the entrance of the rift valley, it turned over and landed towards an area further away in the canyon.
Such a move is a bit difficult for the hunters to understand.
Academics are more responsive.
The leader of the research team shouted: "There is probably more than one node of leyline energy in the canyon!
The energy in that area was exhausted just now, but there may be others in other locations. Energy node!
It’s like a warehouse for storing spare food! This is where it should go!”
The hunters’ expressions changed drastically after hearing this.
Gordon, who originally kept a distance from the red dragon for safety reasons, quickly urged the pterosaur to speed up, "Hurry up! Don't give it time to recover from its injuries!"
The hunters hurriedly chased after the red dragon. , came to a deeper and darker area.
This place is connected to the Valley of Youjing, but the terrain is similar to a sinkhole.
Surrounded by nearly vertical rock walls, you can only see a small patch of sky when you look up, like you are at the bottom of a well.
The red dragon folded its wings and landed heavily on the ground.
Following a low roar that shook the soul, a large area of dazzling silver light shone beneath it.
Everyone who witnessed this scene understood that the research class monitor had guessed correctly.
The energy in the area where we fought before is depleted, but an unknown amount of leyline energy is still stored here.
With the continuous injection of earth vein energy, the wounds on Chilong's body are healing rapidly.
No, not healing.
As the energy of the mercury-like earth veins surged into Red Dragon's wounds, even the most serious injuries were restored to their original state in a flash of light.
Even the broken horn on its head and the one eye that was blinded by the fire storm have been regenerated in the flow of light.
The embarrassed appearance a few minutes ago seemed to be just an illusion. At this time, it was still the majestic "King of Dragons".
At this moment, everyone inevitably felt a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.
Only Gordon burst into laughter.
"Didn't you notice?! It only healed the most serious wounds!"
He released the hook lock in advance, jumped on the red dragon's back, and stabbed hard with his big sword [without moving] He pulled hard on the wound that had not yet recovered.
The dragon attribute energy exploded, and the dragon blood from the wound splashed all over his armor. Stimulated by the severe pain, the red dragon couldn't help but howl and staggered two steps.
"If the 'reserve grain' here is really so abundant, will it be so economical?
After all, it is just a hungry ghost who can't even eat enough to eat. Use it up to death!" (End of this chapter) )
