Chapter 303: Despair
It looks a little weird.
The body is petite and slender. In terms of body shape, it is even similar to a snow deer. It does not have the sharp teeth and claws of ordinary monsters. Instead, it has hooves unique to herbivorous species.
With such an appearance and physique, it should be difficult to produce the so-called "sense of oppression".
But the sharp, crystal-clear horn on its head and its white fur, which was always shimmering with electric light, made the hunters aware.
The mysterious creature that looks like a herbivorous species in front of you is the terrifying existence that caused thunder and killed Honglong before.
—"phantom beast" Qilin.
There are very few sighting records of this mysterious creature, and except for researchers and a few elite hunters, few people know about it.
In terms of blood, it should not be closely related to the "dragon", but it possesses powerful strength that ordinary monsters cannot match, as well as the mysterious power of causing thunderstorms and natural disasters.
Scholars from the Scribes Team and the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau were unable to accurately classify it from an ecological and biological perspective, and finally classified it into an "ancient dragon species" that was also full of unknowns.
That is simply synonymous with "mystery" and "horror".
“Lower your head, don’t look directly at it, don’t show your back, and back away slowly.” Gordon reminded his companions in a low voice.
He really didn't want to face this mysterious monster that was obviously beyond their strength after a battle with Hong Long.
But I don’t know how to avoid irritating it.
I had no choice but to try to apply the method of dealing with bad-tempered herbivorous species such as male snow deer, but I don’t know if it will work.
However, what the hunters did not expect was.
The blood of Honglong that has been sprinkled all over the snowy tundra, as well as the strong smell of blood on their armor and weapons, will be the key to angering the mysterious monsters.
It looked up to the sky and hissed loudly, and electric light lit up on its horn and body.
As if responding to its call, the rumbling thunder in the thundercloud also became more rapid in an instant.
“Spread out!” Gordon yelled as a chilling numbness hit him.
He didn't care to lower his voice. The guy in front of him was obviously angry.
The hunters ran for a few steps and swooped out, while the two Ellu dug holes into the ground as fast as they could.
Several thunderbolts fell one after another, covering the place where they were standing before, and the thunder in their ears almost deafened them.
After the lightning strike, Gordon looked at the pitted ground.
My heart couldn't help but twitch.
Unless he is equipped with extremely specialized armor and protective stones with lightning resistance, such a terrifying lightning strike is enough to cause any hunter to be seriously injured or even killed in an instant.
You can't escape by retreating directly. No matter how fast you run, you can't be faster than a lightning strike.
If you want to escape unscathed, you must first create opportunities.
A slight vibration was heard, and the pork chop jumped out of the ground.
Years of cooperation made Gordon immediately realize what it was planning. He quickly ran forward a few steps just to attract the attention of the mysterious monster.
At the same time, Pork Chop used Gordon's cover to throw the flash bomb in his hand.
If the flash bomb can be effective, the probability of their smooth retreat will be greatly increased, and everyone's eyes will be focused on the falling flash bomb.
The strong light blooms.
The mysterious monster shook its head, as if nothing happened.
Pork Chop reluctantly threw another sonic bomb, but this time the mysterious monster didn't even move.
Gordon's face became darker.
He had somewhat expected that the flash bomb would be ineffective. The monster itself was shining brightly and could summon thunder. It was not surprising that it was not afraid of strong light.
But the sonic bombs were also completely ineffective, which meant that they had no choice but to fight hard and create opportunities for retreat.
“Find a way to fight in close combat, Hayata, cover me.”
Hayata nodded and rushed out. The two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, circled around and clamped down on their opponent.
Hayata was very fast. She arrived at the side of the mysterious monster first. The flying dragon knife slashed straight down and hit the head of the mysterious monster.
The mysterious monster raised its head slightly and easily avoided the blow.
Hayata, who was quite confident in her sword-swinging speed, was surprised. She reversed the blade of the sword and followed up with an upward strike, but was still avoided by the monster.
Although both attacks failed, her cover mission was completed.
Gordon had already rushed to the other side of the mysterious monster, and took advantage of the gap between the monster to dodge Hayata's attack and put the sword on his shoulder.
It took less than a second to accumulate power, and then quickly released the charged slash that had barely been accumulated to a certain stage.
What he was interested in was the short gap after the monster dodged Hayata's slashing attack. Facing such an extremely agile opponent, the timing of the attack was far more important than the power.
What's the use of even a powerful attack if it can't hit?
Even if it is just an ordinary charged slash, with the blessing of Gordon's strength and the heavy blade of the Epitaph sword, its power cannot be underestimated.
If it were a snow deer of similar size, it might have been cut in half.
Of course, Gordon also knew that the physical strength of the monster in front of him was not at the same level as the snow deer, a herbivorous species that could not even be called a monster.
However, it is common sense that a small and agile monster’s defense should not be too strong.
Then the reality in front of him slapped his "common sense" in the face.
The Epitaph sword slashed diagonally at the back of the mysterious monster. There was no thick carapace, only some scaly white skin showing amazing toughness in front of the sharp blade.
The feeling is like hitting a wooden stake with a blunt sword without an edge.
Although the blade was not deflected, it only made a shallow opening, and there was no feeling of going deep into it at all.
The dragon-type energy that Gordon had high hopes for exploded, but before it had time to take effect, it disintegrated and dissipated under the powerful current lingering on the monster's body.
This **** fleshiness! And the dragon attribute is also invalid? !
The mysterious monster feels offended.
It turned its head slowly, its pupils and irises indistinguishable, and its red eyes stared at Gordon.
Although he didn't have the ferocious and bloodthirsty feeling of Hong Long, Gordon felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped, his joints were stiff, and his body was almost unable to move.
The mysterious monster neighed, raised its front hooves, and a sharp horn that seemed to be solidified by lightning shined on his chest and stabbed him.
Gordon managed to lift the sword and hold it in front of his chest.
“锵!”
Luckily among the misfortunes, the power of the mysterious monster was not too exaggerated, and it could not directly break through Gordon's defensive posture.
The single horn flashing with electric light poked at the sword of the Epitaph Sword.
The crystallization of the forging technology of ancient civilizations showed its due strength. The horn, which could easily penetrate steel, was slid away by the smooth and hard sword surface and brushed against Gordon's shoulder.
“Zila!”
Gordon felt that his shoulders and most of his body were numb. He was half-kneeling on the ground, almost unable to hold the sword.
If the Epitaph Sword and the Blue Fire Dragon armor were not reliable enough, his chest or shoulders would have been penetrated by now.
Behind the monster, Hayata waved his sword continuously, trying to attract attention.
At this time, she finally felt the powerlessness that Gordon had just felt.
The blade of the Flying Dragon Sword is not strong enough to cause effective damage, and the toxins on the sword are decomposed by lightning.
Where is the hope of victory?
ˆPs.
There is no description of the inferior Gu Long in this book, so don’t think, “Why is this electric donkey so strong when you first meet him?”
By the way, I want to make a comment about the Qilin’s flesh. Except for the head and horns, this thing is simply a steel plate.
