Chapter 197 A long and hard battle
Suffering severe damage to its vitals forced the one-horned dragon to stumble forward two steps.
With the heart pumping rapidly, blood rushed into every corner of its body. The blood vessels on the surface of its skull were also congested, dyeing its skull a scarlet color.
"Roar!!"
The one-horned dragon was furious.
There was a roar of wind, and before Gordon could even react, the one-horned dragon had already turned around, pointed its red horn towards him, and charged towards him.
It moves almost twice as fast! With such a big body and such a fast turning speed, is this guy's heart made of steel? !
Gordon was horrified and flew to one side, narrowly avoiding the blow that could pierce him.
Gordon, who fell to the ground on his stomach, did not get up in a hurry, but continued to roll a few times.
As it turns out, he was right to do so.
The roar of the tail hammer tearing the air came from above his head. If he had climbed up in a hurry, he might have been severely injured by the tail blow of the one-horned dragon.
Gordon stood up again and immediately put away his sword.
This kind of attack speed, this kind of turning speed, it is enough to change to a double-sword wielder, Taitoha. As a slow-moving swordsman with a sword, he should just keep his sword away to avoid its sharp edge.
Gordon, who temporarily gave up his offensive plan, kept dodging the attacks of the Dioceratops.
The reason why he didn't turn around and ran was because he knew very well that at his own speed, there was no possibility of outrunning Dioceratops on the relatively flat Gobi Desert.
At first, faced with the continuous collisions of the Dioceratops, Gordon acted very embarrassed.
But gradually, he also discovered the shortcomings of this monster—the one-horned dragon seemed to be particularly obsessed with the dragon chariot.
Wearing heavy armor and strong legs, any kind of flying dragon must avoid the sharp edge when it hits any kind of flying dragon.
This is the "killer weapon" that the Dioceratops tribe has carefully polished through repeated evolution from ancient times to the present.
This move is invincible against opponents of similar size.
However, facing a hunter who may not have as long a horn as his body, and whose steps are nimble and flexible, this move will inevitably feel like a cannon hitting a giant bee.
As for other moves, they are nothing more than biting, tail flicking and wing flicking commonly used by flying dragons. Tieshan relies on these, his wide wings are like a burden, and he has no ability to hover at all.
Had he not seen it flying and landing on the Gobi Desert before, Gordon would have doubted whether this guy could fly.
Maybe he was annoyed because his proud thrusts and corner collisions failed continuously, or maybe he heard Gordon's inner complaints.
The one-horned dragon suddenly stopped.
Then, under Gordon's eyes as if he had seen a ghost, he drilled into the ground at a speed that was not inferior to Elu.
no? Ellu cats are petite in size. To drill a hole, they only need to dig up a few liters of soil, so it's understandable that they need to be faster.
Isn’t it a little unreasonable for a hundred-ton-sized Monoceros to burrow into the soil so quickly? ! The wind pressure created while digging the ground almost blew people away!
Gordon was astonished, but he didn't dare to slow down. He took out the sonic bomb from the prop bag as quickly as possible, pulled the fuse and prepared to throw it out.
—This trick is always useful for monsters that like to burrow into the ground.
However, before he could pull the lead away, a violent tremor was already coming from under his feet.
The muscles reacted before the brain, and Gordon leaped forward with all his strength and jumped away.
The moment he left the place, a bright red giant horn broke out from the position where he had just stood, piercing the sky arbitrarily.
After landing, Gordon ran forward a few more steps, and then looked back with lingering fear at the huge flying dragon crawling out of the ground.
No wonder this guy is weak in flying. Looking at the wings with thick bones and huge claws, it is estimated that they have evolved completely for digging.
This is the first time I have encountered a monster that digs the ground so fast that it can’t even throw sonic bombs.
The Diceratops, which returned to the ground, was also out of its angry state, which somewhat relieved Gordon.
In this way, you can not only get close to the weak point of the one-horned dragon, but also avoid the powerful dragon chariot and horn collision.
The only disadvantage is that the efficiency is very low.
—Almost every time he made a sword move, the one-horned dragon turned around before he even had time to draw the sword, and he could only continue to circle.
The existence of its giant tail and wings makes it a very high threat to enemies on both sides and rear of its body. Gordon did not dare to be reckless and could only deal with it slowly.
After all, his extra sword is of no consequence to the one-horned dragon. If the one-horned dragon butts him head-on, he can only pray that there is a cat cart nearby.
The war was protracted and intense.
Gordon suddenly understood why the hero of Kokot fought with the one-horned dragon for seven days before finally killing it with difficulty.
When fighting against a monster of this level, a single mistake may cost you your life, so recklessness and impatience are absolutely unacceptable.
But, I’m so thirsty.
The solar energy at noon in the desert roasts people alive.
In the past, I had been relying on the effect of cold drinks to support me. Now the medicinal effects of cold drinks are gradually wearing off, and my body is sweating a lot in order to cool down. If this continues, I will soon become dehydrated.
Must find ways to find opportunities to drink cold drinks.
Just when Gordon had this idea, the sound of a horn and flute came from far away.
“Duwu~duwu~duwu~”
Is it an auditory hallucination caused by too much heat? Or is it?
Gordon and Dioceratops looked in the direction of the sound at the same time. A small figure was playing a horn flute on the hillside in the distance.
It’s pork chop!
Gordon's mood became excited. Has the trap finally been set?
Seeing that the attention of the one-horned dragon was attracted by the sound of the horn flute, it lowered its head and burrowed into the ground, and began to move in the direction of the pork chop.
Gordon also immediately put away his sword.
It’s time to advance the battle to the next stage!
He quickly drank the cold drink, and the cold potion slid into his stomach, making his thinking instantly clear.
He did not catch up immediately, but squatted down and started sharpening the knife.
The long battle has reduced the sharpness of the Fire Dragon Flame Sword. Although it is not to the point where it can flick the sword, it is likely that we will not find such a good opportunity to sharpen the sword in the future, so we cannot waste it.
It took less than half a minute to get everything ready before Gordon spread his legs and chased in the direction where Pork Chop and Dioceratops left.
He roughly knew the location where Pork Chop set the trap. It was a rocky beach scattered with large and small boulders and stone pillars.
Compared to the empty Gobi where he fought the Dioceratops before, the rocky beach was a more suitable fighting location—in Stonehenge, the Dioceratops's movements would be greatly restricted, but the hunter would not.
Even if the trap doesn't work, it can be considered a big success if the pork chop can lure the one-horned dragon there.
Diceratops burrowed very fast underground, faster than Gordon could run on the ground.
A few minutes later, the distance between the two had widened to two to three hundred meters.
“Boom!”
Looking at the giant unicorn that suddenly burst out of the ground in the distance, Gordon's heart skipped a beat.
His heart fell back into his stomach until the smoke and dust dissipated and his eyes again caught the small figure jumping nimbly among the gravel in front of the one-horned dragon.
As long as it’s okay, consider that the little guy is also an expert at digging holes, so he won’t be surprised so easily.
Elu, the chase between the one-horned dragon and the hunter is continuing. The gravel under their feet is getting thicker and thicker, and there are more and more large and small gravels.
The target rocky beach is almost there.
