Chapter 124 Solidified Lava
Water-cooling bullets are extremely effective against the lava dragon, but they will also greatly accelerate the cooling of the lava armor, making this guy's flesh harder.
After hesitating for a moment, Ancier temporarily pulled out the magazine of the water-cooled bullet and replaced it with a frozen bullet.
As the name suggests, this is a special ammunition that instantly freezes the hit location.
Now Ancil uses it to accurately snipe the mouth of the lava beast, which has a pretty good effect. It is obviously very uncomfortable to see it shaking its head in pain and spitting out the ice in its mouth.
Gordon would not miss such a good opportunity. When the lava dragon had no time to pay attention to him, he took two steps forward and began to prepare for a charged attack again.
This time, his timing was very good, and the three-stage charged slash with full power accurately struck the lava dragon's side chest, which was unprotected by the lava armor.
Based on the original wound, the steel claw blade easily tore through the skin and flesh, leaving a huge scar that was deep enough to show the bone.
As long as you go around the part covered by lava, this guy's meat seems to be quite soft?
“Gahwuwu!” The lava dragon, which was hit hard by ice bullets and suffered severe head pain, was furious.
Its movements began to speed up, and the red light between the gaps in the lava armor became brighter again.
Gordon also quickly sheathed his knife and took a few steps back. Faced with a monster whose danger increased sharply in an angry state, few hunters would choose to fight hard.
Sure enough, the lava dragon, which was moving faster, responded with a tail flick without warning. If he hadn't distanced himself in advance, he would probably have behaved awkwardly in front of this thick and flat fish tail.
Ancil's support shot followed closely, interrupting the lava dragon's pursuit in time.
This is the biggest benefit of team hunting. Hunters cover each other and safety is greatly increased.
However, perhaps because the charged slash was a bit painful, the lava dragon was really targeting Gordon this time. Even if its steps were temporarily blocked by the successive ice bullets, it did not give up. mean.
Just like when preparing to lean against the iron mountain before, the muscles of the lava dragon's whole body tensed up, and Gordon was immediately on full alert. The opponent was obviously planning some powerful attack.
Recalling the way the lava dragon slid quickly on the ground, Gordon guessed that this guy was preparing to charge up his strength and then slide and sprint to hurt himself, so he immediately stopped and bent his knees slightly, ready to roll and dodge at any time.
Unfortunately, he guessed wrong.
The lava dragon was indeed accumulating strength and preparing to attack, but instead of gliding and crashing as he thought, it jumped high like a fish leaping out of the water, and then crashed down.
The people of Gordon were almost dumbfounded.
It’s not surprising that flying dragons can take off with their wings. How can you, an ichthyosaur whose wings have degenerated into short fins, jump so high?
Complaints are complaints, Gordon immediately took steps and started running as hard as he could.
Faced with this kind of attack that uses body weight to press down on the opponent from the sky, there is no other way to deal with it except running out of range.
Being pressed under you by a large monster weighing several tons, no matter how good you are, you will still be crushed into a piece of cake.
Ancil in the distance shouted, telling Gordon to run quickly, but that was all he could do. He jumped into the lava dragon and fell freely in the air with the muscle power of his tail and legs, not just a few crossbows. A bullet can stop it.
Gordon, who was running wildly, didn't even have time to raise his head to confirm the position of the lava dragon. When the huge shadow completely enveloped him, he decisively flew out to the side.
Gordon's choice to dive to the side was undoubtedly the right one.
The lava dragon's body is roughly in the shape of a long strip. If it swoops forward, it will probably be crushed by the chin of this hot guy.
Seeing Gordon successfully dodge the Lava Dragon's jumping attack, Ancil couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, cursed and put a new magazine into the crystal rifle, and began to fire wildly in retaliation.
Gordon didn't dare to stay where he was. The lava dragon's big head was less than one meter away from him. If it hadn't been that the guy was also a little dazed after hitting the ground, he might have bitten it.
He stood up from the ground that was hot enough to boil an egg. After thanking the strange bird suit for its heat resistance once again, Gordon directly pulled out his sword and stood up before he could. The lava dragon had a knife on its head.
Now he no longer cares about the client's outrageous requirements for "the appearance of the ornamental fish." He hopes that this guy's self-healing ability is strong enough.
The angry lava dragon got up faster than usual. Gordon only had time to strike with a vertical blow before it jumped up from the ground, shook its head, opened its mouth and bit the hunter in front of it.
Gordon retracted the blasting knife and moved it horizontally in front of him, firmly blocking the lava dragon's bite.
Ancier took the opportunity to continuously fire water-cooled bullets and ice-condensed bullets, continuously accumulating damage.
As the water-cooled bombs and ice bombs fell on the lava dragon one after another, the thick lava armor was almost completely extinguished, and the originally deep red to golden red body gradually cooled to a dim dark gray.
Gordon has completely given up on using his sword and switched to passive defense.
The lava armor in the condensed state can no longer be called lava armor. It is more suitable to be called granite armor. The feel of cutting it with a knife is no different from cutting the ground.
However, the solidification of lava armor is by no means the only benefit to the lava dragon.
While its defense was greatly improved, its movements also became sluggish. Gordon even found that the lava dragon's body was trembling slightly, as if it was frozen.
The surrounding temperature of more than 50 degrees cannot be described as "cold" in the eyes of humans, but for the lava dragon, which is used to swimming in magma at thousands of degrees, it is indeed too cold to bear.
The lava armor is its thermal insulation coat. Now that it has cooled down, it is time for it to return to the lava lake to warm itself up.
Flagged his tail, and pushed back Gordon who was constantly harassing it. The lava dragon ignored Ancil who kept shooting at it, took heavy steps, and headed straight towards the lava lake.
Gordon and Ancil wanted to stop it, but they couldn't. They couldn't move, and they would be trampled over if they stood in front of it. They had no choice but to watch the lava dragon jump into the magma and roll around in circles.
Looking at it all makes me happy.
"Meow!"
Pork Chop, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly jumped out. It was about to throw a sonic bomb to force the lava dragon out of the magma, but Ancil shouted to stop it.
“Wait for the pork chop! Throw it out in half a minute!”
“Meow?” Pig Chop turned around in confusion, but still stopped moving his paws.
Gordon immediately understood Ancil's intention. Since the solidified lava armor couldn't be hit, it would be better to wait for it to "take a bath" and soften the lava armor before blasting it out.
The knife was sharpened, the ammunition was changed, and the bath was bathed. The scene seemed very harmonious for a time.
More than half a minute passed. Just when Gordon put away the whetstone and was about to tell Pig Chop that it was time to use sonic bombs, he did not expect that the latter would attack in advance.
A head that somewhat resembled an eel poked out of the magma, opened its mouth wide, and several magma **** the size of millstones spurted out, rolling toward Gordon and the others on the shore.
