Chapter 123 Water-cooled sniper
Looking at the lava dragon coiled on the edge of the magma lake, with half of its body exposed, as if it was taking a bath, Anhir made a calm gesture.
He took out a dye bomb and pressed it into the barrel of the crystal rifle.
This kind of special ammunition has the same effect as dye balls. It can help hunters track monsters through strong smells and pigment traces. The advantage is that it can be fired from a long distance using a ballista to prevent the monster from being found after it escapes.
"Snapped!"
After a soft sound, large pieces of brightly colored paint exploded on the back of the lava dragon. The lava dragon immediately raised its body alertly and looked around.
Ancil methodically replaced the magazine of the crystal rifle with a water-cooled bullet, activated sniper mode on the spot, and began to attack.
The water-cooled bomb, which is mixed with flowing water grass as the main material, explodes into a cold water splash at the neck of the lava dragon. Then due to the high temperature, it turns into a stream of white steam and dissipates.
The lava near the impact point was instantly cooled and turned into black stone flakes, which fell off.
The lava dragon shuddered. It had long been accustomed to the volcanic environment and hated water, and it hated low temperatures even more. The attack just now made it very uncomfortable.
The effect of water-cooled bullets is outstanding!
Ancil continued to fire, and the water-cooled bullets hit various parts of the lava dragon's body accurately and rhythmically, giving it an extremely uncomfortable cold shower.
“Gahwuwuwu!” The lava dragon let out an unpleasant roar.
It finally locked the attacker's position, that is, Ancier's side.
Shaking away the evaporated water droplets on his body, the lava dragon angrily jumped out of the magma lake, twisted its body against the ground, and swam over.
The extremely hot lava carapace melted the ground a little, and the molten rock ground became the lubricant to assist its advancement. This guy's speed of sliding on the ground was actually not slow!
Gordon immediately stepped forward to greet him.
The reason why he didn't take action before was because he was waiting for the lava dragon to come ashore!
The path was blocked by Gordon. The lava dragon, which was still lying on the ground swimming and sliding, immediately jumped up. Only then did Gordon have the opportunity to see its full picture.
Its head and neck are streamlined, similar to those of fish, as is its long and flat tail, which facilitates its movement in fluids.
The structure of the body is somewhat similar to that of a flying dragon, except that the parts that should have wide wings are replaced by two short fins. Compared with the pair of legs with webbed claws, it has a sense of underdevelopment and incongruity. .
Slowly walking around Gordon who raised his sword for a few steps, the lava dragon raised its neck and let out a demonstrative roar.
Gordon, who was baptized by the roar at close range, couldn't help but cover his ears. Ancier, who set up a heavy ballista in the distance and sniped, was not bothered by this. The water-cooled bullets hit the lava dragon one after another.
The water-cooled bullets evaporated by the hot lava armor turned into steaming water vapor and spread out, hitting Gordon's face, stuffy and hot.
He felt as if he had been in front of the red-hot stones in a dry steam room and poured a large amount of water on him. His whole body was almost half-cooked.
But Gordon didn’t complain. It’s better to be half-cooked than burnt.
He even felt very lucky. Fortunately, he changed into the strange bird suit before coming to the volcano. If he was still equipped with the original refined ore suit with negative fire resistance, maybe everyone would be gone, right?
Putting aside the messy thoughts in his mind, Gordon quickly approached the lava dragon and drew out the big sword in his hand. He believed that the opponent's three-star dangerous "quality" would not make him disabled after just two sword blows. seriously injured.
There is no flick knife, which means that the defense of the lava dragon is not too difficult. However, the sluggish feeling along the handle is the first he has seen since using the sword.
Looking up, Gordon finally understood the source of this sluggish feeling.
Just like the mucus on a fish, the thick layer of lava armor wrapped around the lava dragon is its best defense layer.
Under the continuous attack of water-cooled bombs, the lava armor turned into a semi-solidified state and had a viscosity similar to maltose. The claw blade of the explosive knife was quickly stuck after being embedded, making it difficult to penetrate further and truly damage its body.
However, Gordon's powerful and heavy blow still caused the lava dragon to feel a little pain. It turned its head and glared at him viciously with its small, pearly white eyes.
Gordon not only didn't feel panic, he was even a little happy.
He is not the main attacker in this battle. As long as he can firmly grab the attention of the lava dragon and create a comfortable enough output environment for Ancil, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with this guy.
With this thought in mind, Gordon pulled out the explosive knife Kai with force and prepared to cut his leg with the next knife.
However, the lava dragon was not a target. Faced with Gordon's continuous attacks, it launched a counterattack.
The extremely flexible body was slightly bent, and the muscles all over his body were as tense as the pressure rod of a catapult. Gordon, who was halfway through the slash with his blade, immediately interrupted the attack at the risk of spraining his waist, and rolled backwards in a hurry.
"boom!"
The lava dragon hit the spot where Gordon had just stood and used a powerful iron mountain support. Even though Gordon rolled over in time, the former didn't hit anything, but it still made a dull roar.
Gordon was still frightened as he climbed up. A mid-air collision could make such a noise. Now if he was hit hard, he might be seriously injured in an instant.
Putting away the subtle pride in his heart due to his successful hunting of four-star monsters, Gordon's eyes became cautious again.
"Gordon! Don't attack the cooled parts of the lava armor! The meat will become hard!" Ancil's reminder came at the right time.
After a period of baptism by water-cooling bullets, the lava armor on many parts of the lava dragon's body has been nearly extinguished, turning into a dark red and dark gray color.
The magma that cooled to a solid state lost its glue-like viscosity and high temperature, but became harder. Gordon decided to follow Ancil's suggestion and try to avoid these parts.
He stepped closer and tentatively slashed at the lava dragon's chest with a light overhead slash, an area still emitting high-temperature red light.
The sharp and heavy blade of the Exploding Knife easily cut into the molten lava armor, and a large piece of golden-red magma flew away, revealing the rough dark gray skin underneath.
"Aha!"
Gordon laughed heroically, turned the sword and put it on his shoulder, and began to accumulate strength.
Seeing that the lava dragon moved its body and was about to leave the attack range of the blasting knife, he did not hesitate to release the charged slash that had only been accumulated to one stage.
Due to the movement of the lava dragon, the charged slash of this attack was not very accurate nor deep, but it still successfully tore apart a large piece of skin on the lava dragon's chest that was no longer protected by the lava armor.
As a being at the top of the food chain in the nearby area, the lava dragon, which had not felt this kind of pain for a long time, staggered two steps and let out an angry roar.
However, at this moment, an icy bullet exuding frosty white air was accurately shot into its mouth, ending its roar.
Anhil removed his eyes from the scope and snorted:
"shut up."
