Chapter 1257 1229. The stronger Nergigante
The Nergigante directly smashed itself down from high altitude as a projectile weapon. This trick was already used when Lan En and Wind saw it for the first time. Learned the lesson.
But this time, I don’t know if the power of the Nergigante is even stronger.
The height it dropped from the sky increased greatly! Therefore, the power is completely different from before!
After being crushed, a huge cloud of smoke and dust was squeezed between the rock cracks and filled the entire arena almost instantly!
The fragmentation of the rock formations still did not completely eliminate the impact. The violent force vibrated back and forth in the formations, directly causing a small-scale earthquake!
Amidst the ‘rumbling’ sound of rocks breaking and moving, everything seemed to be shaking.
No one can even think of gaining a foothold here.
Luckily for Lan En, he squatted down as soon as he felt that the roar that came with pressure was familiar, and the dragon-scale leather gloves of [Smaug]'s armor directly He dug into a small crack in the ground and locked it.
Lan En's current strength, as well as the hardness of this armor, allowed him to easily expand the small rock cracks enough to accommodate his fingers.
The stable center of gravity and focus prevented Lan En from being knocked into the air like a velvet ball.
There was no movement.
But at the other end of the arena.
Wend's reaction was also very quick.
While the sound of the wind caused by the Nergigante's rapid descent was still above his head, he had already realized what would happen next due to his outstanding experience and insight.
But he had no chance to do the same thing as Lan En.
Because his hands had been holding tightly on the activation rod of the [Dragon Striker] just now.
If you use the activation rod as a focal point to stabilize yourself, then 80% of the time, the [Dragon Shooting Spear] will be shot out!
When the two ancient dragons are facing each other tit for tat, if the other creatures present do not take any action, it is possible to watch an ancient dragon-level turf war.
Not to mention, in fact, Yanwanglong has not noticed their presence until now.
But once the [Dragon Shooting Spear] is fired, it's hard to say whether the ancient dragons will fight among themselves first or kill the little things who want to hurt them first.
So Wende immediately overcame his subconscious instinctive reaction and let himself loosen his hand holding the stimulation rod in the violent shock.
And this also caused him to be knocked away immediately as the Nergigante hit the ground without a point of focus.
Until the huge movement of the Nergigante hitting the ground stopped, he barely managed to steady himself.
But in the process, the sound of his armor colliding with the rock was still heard.
After all, compared to the collision between rocks, this sound is very distinctive. Enough to be caught by the ancient dragon in the chaos.
“Hoo~”
A strong wind suddenly blew away the expanding smoke and dust.
The Yanwang Dragon flapped its wings and then slightly retracted it on its back. At this time, the laziness and relaxation when eating gunpowder were no longer in its blue eyes.
Like a majestic lion, his eyes swept over the Nergigante smashed into the pit in front of him, as well as the hunters whose presence was exposed on the surrounding high platforms.
It still regards the Nergigante as the highest alert target. Compared to just now, if Wende directly pulled the trigger lever of the [Dragon Strike], he would stab the [Dragon Strike] directly into the two ancient dragons.
This is already an ideal situation.
Now that his position has been exposed, Wende simply stood up, and at the same time, he no longer suppressed the aura of the [Mist Nest Master Suit] on his body.
Suddenly, a pressure that was so violent that it was almost crazy emanated from a human being.
“It has indeed become stronger.”
When Wind stepped forward to attract attention, Lan En glanced at the Nergigante crawling out of the pit he had created.
This hand-to-hand combat-mad ancient dragon looks just like when we met before.
It has spikes all over its body. The outer skin of the body is solid black, while the inner chest and abdomen are orange-yellow.
But it is different from before.
“Bang~”
Pulling his body out of the broken hole, the Nergigante Dragon's hazy yellow eyes stared into the Flame King Dragon's blue eyes.
The whole body of this ancient dragon is now completely black, with spikes that look like metal crystals.
None of the same white spikes remain on the body.
The changes in the external spines appear to reflect the growth of Nergigante's own power.
The last time it hit the Molten Dragon's back from a high altitude, a quarter of the bones in the Nergigante Dragon's body were broken.
Then they all recovered within a minute and started fighting with Lan En, Wind and Aiden at that time.
But now, it fell from a greater height difference, but within a short period of time before even the smoke and dust dispersed, it was able to move freely and pull itself out of the ground.
Whether it is the efficiency of self-recovery or its physical strength, it is not at the same level as before.
“Let’s act quickly, meow!”
This was the first time that Flannel Ball saw Gu Long fighting. At this time, he came close to Lan En and whispered.
Wende is using the aura of his [Mist Nest Master Suit] to attract attention, and he is carefully changing positions as if pacing.
Let yourself move away from the triggering lever of [Dragon Gun].
Although the ancient dragons have an IQ that exceeds the average human level, they have never seen the excitation rod, let alone the mechanical device linked below the excitation rod.
Of course they don’t think that this is a wooden pole as big as a human leg or that it is a threat to the ground, so naturally they won’t pay attention.
On the sunken terrain in the center of the arena, Yanwanglong moved cautiously.
At the same time, bursts of threatening and frightening growls came out of his mouth. Groups of sparks floated out from the corners of its mouth.
And its body, its fiery red mane, dark red scales and wing membranes, flames burst out from time to time and adhere to them.
The Flame King Dragon entered the fighting state, making the entire venue become even hotter.
But Nergigante apparently doesn't care.
Its ferocious and sharp claws rubbed the ground, and the thorns on them, which had all turned black, could easily make cracks on the rocky ground.
The thorns that grew in disorder were awkwardly stuck together due to the twisting movement of the Nergigante's own joints, making a sharp and harsh sound like metal being at odds with each other.
But Nergigante only has Flame King Dragon in his eyes.
It wants to eat it.
Appetite is really the most deep-rooted of biological desires.
If Nergigante was not an ancient dragon and had an energy coordinator like the Ancient Dragon Gem in its body, its appetite would probably torture it to the same mental state as the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
But it is an ancient dragon, and it is an ancient dragon killer who feeds on ancient dragons. Therefore, this kind of appetite is less crazy in it, but more majestic and violent.
The aura that Wind exudes through the armor on his body is not taken seriously by the Nergigante for the time being. Including his meat volume.
So it was only half a minute after falling straight from high altitude.
A low growl escaped from the corner of Nergigante's mouth, which he could no longer hold back.
Immediately afterwards, the claws were quickly raised from the ground and swung horizontally towards Yan Wanglong's face.
It's like using the claws and the spikes on the forearms to scratch the head of Yanwanglong!
But although Yan Wanglong has been lazily eating the gunpowder of the investigation team here for many days, the ancient dragon is the ancient dragon.
It tilted its neck back vigorously, and the Nergigante's claws just passed in front of its lush fiery red mane.
Only strands of red hair that were caught and glowing with fire were left in the air.
And Yan Wanglong tilted his neck back, and what was escaping from the corners of his mouth was no longer sparks, but actual flames!
The moment it fell back down after raising its head.
“Hoo!”
The surging flames swept towards the Nergigante that was already close to him like a wave.
The Flame King Dragon's flames do not have super physical impact like Smaug.
Its flame characteristics are mainly super high temperature. In terms of impact force alone, it is estimated that it is only a few hundred kilograms of force caused by the temperature expansion of air.
It is impossible for Nergigante to avoid the spreading flames at such a close distance.
Ignore the thorns that are so black that they already have the texture of metal and crystal, but the skin and flesh of the Nergigante are instantly scorched by the high-temperature flames!
Skin, flesh, and grease made a sound of hardening and crisping when being burned, and there was also the aroma of protein.
The mass of the Nergigante was quickly burned into black smoke by the flames and taken away.
But Nergigante didn't even think about hiding!
“Ouch!!!”
Putting a front paw against itself and spreading half of its wings, the Nergigante charged forward against the Flame King Dragon’s flames!
There was neither the pain of being burned nor the fear of flames in those dim yellow reptilian eyes.
The only thing you can do is kill the ancient dragon in front of you and then eat the violence in your stomach!
There was an explosion.
The collision between the flame and the wing membrane even erupted into a roar!
Because the distance was not far to begin with, the Nergigante took more than a step forward and already brought the Flame King Dragon into its attack range.
With a 'whisper', the Nergigante pushed forward with its claws holding half of its wings!
The wings, which had been basically scorched by the flames of the Flame King Dragon, immediately made a crackling sound of scorched skin.
Underneath the burnt skin, bloodshot muscles were exposed.
The wing itself had no strength, but under the push of the Nergigante's claws, it still slapped the Flame King Dragon's face!
"Roar!"
The flaming red lion's breath was forcibly interrupted, and he subconsciously let out an angry roar.
On the Nergigante's wings, the layer of skin that was burned into a carbonized layer grew back again in just a few breaths.
Just now, a wing flapped against Yanwanglong's face, and the thorns on the outside of the wings left deep claw marks on its face and neck.
After all, Nergigante is a special ancient dragon that hunts ancient dragons.
It has much stronger combat experience than the normal ancient dragon species, as well as much stronger physical fitness.
We gave up the ability to control natural energy and transform the natural environment in exchange for this fighting power.
Naturally, it is stronger than the Yanwang Dragon, which has slacked off during this period.
