Chapter 1027: Red Heat
Charge rushed in front of the Explosive Scale Dragon, almost less than five meters away. Gale raised his hand and fired.
This is the distance at which shotguns are most powerful.
Before countless small shrapnel could fly away, they all landed in a small circle of no more than three or four square meters, which just happened to cover the head of the Explosive Scale Dragon.
Sparks flew everywhere, and the shrapnel that hit the scales was bounced away, while the shrapnel that landed in the gaps between the scales was submerged in it, spattering blood.
Facts have proved that the crossbow shells carefully made by the hunters are much more powerful than the crude cannonballs of the Strange Face Tribe. With this shot, the head of the Explosive Scale Dragon was slightly knocked to the side.
also drew its attention back.
“Roar!” It roared angrily, opened its mouth and lunged forward to bite.
Perhaps because the explosive glands in the chest and neck area are densely packed and appear to be extremely fat, the movements of the explosive scale dragon appear to be relatively slow.
Gail did not hesitate after firing the first shot, and immediately retreated, easily avoiding the blow.
First he was surrounded by strange-faced tribesmen and was interrupted from eating. He finally managed to break up the encirclement and was about to launch a pursuit when he was stopped by the hunter again.
The anger of the Explosive Scale Dragon grew even higher. It took a deep breath and roared at Gale in front of it, which was slightly similar to the roar of an elephant, but much thicker.
Although this roar is harsh, it is far from the level of Honglong that can deafen people if they don't cover their ears.
“Yell you*!”
Gail's muzzle was slightly raised, and two more cannons were fired back.
The completely furious Explosive Scale Dragon's body shone with a scorching red light like semi-molten metal.
The oval-shaped explosive scales hanging under him also emitted orange-red light, as if they would explode in the next second.
Gail ran as fast as he could, his vigilance raised to the highest level.
The investigation team has "dealt with" the Explosive Scale Dragon many times and has quite detailed information about this monster.
This state where the whole body is emitting high-heat red light is called "red heat", and the explosive scales in this state have been fully activated.
It is like a bomb with the safety pin removed. It will cause a violent explosion at the slightest touch.
The Explosive Scale Dragon in this state is the most difficult to deal with.
Indeed, its claws are not sharp enough and its slightly bloated body makes it not a strong threat in close combat. Experienced hunters can easily avoid its bite, pounce and other attacks.
However, in the red-heated state, the situation is completely different.
Those activated explosive scales will fall to the ground at any time, causing violent explosions. Its attacks such as squelching will also cause large-scale explosions.
At this time, it is like a walking gunpowder magazine. As long as you are around it, you will be under the threat of exploding scales almost all the time.
“Keep your distance!” Anhir shouted the Gaelic sentence.
He was afraid that this guy would get angry and get under the skin of the Explosive Scale Dragon Eye. With the defensive performance of her unicorn suit, if the elf's protection failed to be triggered, the aftermath of any explosion could seriously injure her.
Fortunately, although Gale is often as reckless as a strange-faced tribe, a shooter who only knows how to be reckless and has no brains will never be promoted to Seven Stars alive.
Of course she knew the danger of her scales exploding under the red heat, so she immediately closed the distance to about twenty meters.
At this distance, the power of shotguns is obviously attenuated, and the scatter of shrapnel will also be greatly spread, but she still keeps firing while moving flexibly.
After all, she is currently playing a "guest" role in the vanguard, shouldering the responsibility of containing monsters. She must maintain her attractiveness as much as possible while ensuring her own safety.
But this attraction dissipates quickly. After all, compared to the shotguns whose power is attenuated due to distance, the precise sniper fire from the heavy crossbowmen is a greater threat.
The Explosive Scale Dragon roared and turned to look at Ancier. Gale was about to rush closer and forcefully attract the former's attention.
Sandstone jumped out and blew the horn whistle to attract the monster's attention.
Gail's expression changed. The sandstone that made good use of the protective shield could withstand the attacks of many large monsters. However, facing the Exploding Scale Dragon that constantly caused violent explosions, there was no good way.
Gail quickly changed the magazine and approached in a roundabout way, ready to support Sandstone at any time, but found that Sandstone did not lose his cool as she feared. It didn't even take off the protective shield from behind. Instead, it put down a provocative puppet, turned around and ran away.
The leather dummy, which is about one person tall, quickly inflated and swayed, as if it was dancing a strange dance.
The Explosive Scale Dragon's attention immediately shifted to the dummy. It roared and raised its body, and the Explosive Scales hanging under its neck became increasingly red.
Using its wing claws to support its body, and after rushing forward a few steps, the Explosive Scale Dragon pounced down on the provocative dummy.
The provocative dummy, which was essentially a large scare box, was naturally unable to move and was pinned down by the Explosive Scale Dragon.
Violent explosions continued to occur beneath it, and even the surrounding ground shook violently.
By the time the Explosive Scale Dragon stood up again with support from its wing claws, the provocative dummy had turned into charred and broken pieces on the ground.
“My dummy meow!” Sandstone howled.
This thing is not easy to make. In order to cut off the back, I gave it to a dragon in a corpse suit. Not long after I made it, it was completely scrapped after the first use.
“I’ll help you later!”
Gail turned his head sideways and shouted: "Supernova!"
They are all experienced shooters, and their judgments on the battle situation are actually similar.
Before Gale issued a warning, Ancier had already loaded the supernova into the crossbow chamber. When the Explosive Scale Dragon raised its body, revealing a large area of undetonated Explosive Scales under its body, he pulled the trigger.
The thick crossbow bullet turned into a line of fire, and in a blink of an eye it came to the raised chest and neck of the Explosive Scale Dragon.
The next second, a huge golden-red fireball enveloped the body of the Explosive Scale Dragon. The blast wind knocked it backwards, and a tragic roar echoed in the cave.
However, the effect of this supernova goes far beyond that.
The impact and high temperature of the explosion stimulated those explosive scales that were already in a highly activated state.
Almost at the same time, the exploding scales were detonated together, knocking the exploding scale dragon to the ground.
The Explosive Scale Dragon, which was suddenly hit hard, kept struggling, and the red light on its body gradually dissipated, and it was actually directly blown out of the red-heated state.
Perhaps this can also be regarded as "exploding", or perhaps it is more appropriate to say "destroying one's body"?
“Nima’s is so exciting!” Gale cheered, “Can your supernova be modified so that we can use a light crossbow to enjoy the heavy firepower?!”
The corners of Anhil's mouth raised, "You have a beautiful idea!"
“Tsk, cheapskate!”
The Explosive Scale Dragon's body was bloated and its chest was exploded. It was difficult to get up for a while. This was the best opportunity to attack!
Gail and Ancier, who somehow developed a tacit understanding, loaded their crossbows with armor-piercing grenades and diffusion bombs respectively.
“Fire!”
Gale, who could change ammunition faster, continuously pulled the trigger, and the armor-piercing grenades were nailed to the Explosive Scale Dragon's forehead one after another.
Pork Chop, who was trying to get close to attack, screamed and retreated. There was no way he could stay in this place.
Amidst the unique whistling sound of the projectile crossbow shells, the astonishingly powerful lv3 diffusion bombs fell from the sky. The scattered fragments of the projectiles turned into countless red lotuses, once again shrouding the Explosive Scale Dragon.
Although this type of explosive attack will not be very effective against the Explosive Scale Dragon, it is only relatively speaking. The most important thing is that this guy is lying down, so how about a few rounds of armor-piercing grenades and diffusion bombs?
“Attack both wings!” The wilderness master’s reminder sounded in the distance.
Anhil and Gale, who instantly understood the truth, immediately changed the direction of the muzzle, and moved the crosshair from the head to the wings.
The torso covered with explosive glands is certainly resistant to such attacks, but the wings may not be.
There will be no exploding scales on the dragon wings!
(That’s it for today, go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination orz)
