Chapter 359 Air Combat and Supercharging
Seeing Hayata attacking with a series of air blade slashes and forcing the Thunder Wolf Dragon back from the front, Maka couldn't help but sigh.
“Wow, young people today are so fierce!”
Feng Ying curled her lips when she heard this. You don't seem to be much older, right?
Maka waved the insect stick, and the whistle hole at the end of the stick made a soft sound. The hunting insect that had been attacking for a long time flew back to her arm with some exhaustion and began to rest.
Thunder Wolf Dragon is in full battle with the forwards. This is a good time for the shortstop to attack.
She drank a bottle of the forcible medicine given by Hayata and the others, took two steps back, and then accelerated her charge. She used the insect stick to fly onto the back of the Thunder Wolf Dragon again, and started an aerial battle.
This kind of airborne combo, commonly known as "air combat", is also one of the main attack methods of the insect stick user.
When dealing with monsters such as the Thunder Wolf Dragon with high weak points or some monsters that like to float at low altitudes, most melee weapons will feel somewhat helpless, and the Bug Stick is an exception.
Insect sticks can "fly".
A highly skilled insect stick user can even use repeated force to rise with the flying dragon taking off, and then forcefully poke the flying dragon down in mid-air.
This dazzlingly gorgeous and complex method of staying in the air is very difficult to learn, which also makes the insect stick the most difficult to learn among all weapons.
Hence, hunters using this weapon are relatively rare.
In addition to the advantage of high R&D points, choosing air combat also involves huge risks.
The only point of strength for the flying insect stick users is the long stick in their hands. Although most monsters lack the means to deal with attacks from their backs, once they encounter them, the risk will be great.
The reason why Maka is willing to take risks repeatedly is that his personal fighting style is more aggressive.
The more important reason is that during her first back-mounted air combat, she discovered that there were a large number of lightning bugs hidden in the carapace and hair on the back of the Thunder Wolf Dragon.
Had it not been for the flames of the fire dragon stick that scared these guys out, it would be difficult to detect their existence from the outside.
Hayata and Feng Ying had communicated information about the Thunder Wolf Dragon with her, and she naturally knew the importance of the existence of the Thunder Wolf Dragon to the Thunder Wolf Dragon.
If you can eliminate as many lightning bugs as possible now, it may be very beneficial for the subsequent hunting.
Every time Maka waved the bug stick, several thunder bugs would be scorched by the flames or frightened away. After the lightning burst symbolizing death, the bug corpses fell down with a crackle.
Thunder Wolf Dragon, who was fighting with Hayata, quickly noticed something unusual on its back.
It immediately became manic.
For the Thunder Wolf Dragon, protecting the lightning bugs can be said to be an instinct that goes deep into the bone marrow.
To this end, they have even specially evolved charged hair that can attract lightning bugs, and a hollow carapace that the lightning bugs can burrow into.
Just to make the lightning bugs more willing to live on them and provide them with electric energy as powerful as thunder.
In the information provided by Yanhuo Village, it is mentioned that the weak attributes of Thunder Wolf Dragon are ice, water and fire.
Actually, Thunder Wolf Dragon itself is not afraid of these. It is the thunder bugs that are afraid of them. In order to ensure the survival of the latter, Thunder Wolf Dragon habitually hates and repels water, fire and low temperature.
Maka's attack on the thunder bug completely angered the thunder wolf dragon.
His muscles all over his body were tense again, but his movements were completely different from when he was preparing to lean against the iron mountain.
Feng Ying remembered this action. The last time she encountered the Thunder Wolf Dragon, she was knocked unconscious by this attack.
“Get out of the way!”
Feng Ying screamed, picked up Xianglan who was still swinging her sword and retreated together.
Hayata immediately stopped attacking and retreated.
Maka on the back of the Thunder Wolf Dragon was not as greedy as before. When he was reminded, he used the insect stick to borrow strength and somersaulted back.
At the same time, Thunder Wolf Dragon used one of its front paws on the ground as an axis, whirling and leaping, like a blue whirlwind that knocked everything around it away.
She only had time to block the insect stick in front of her before it was whipped away by the Thunder Wolf Dragon's long tail.
Thunder Wolf Dragon was ready to pursue, but Hayata rushed up and intercepted it.
“Go and help!” Feng Ying threw the pandan in her hand towards where Maka fell.
"Meow meow meow?!"
Xianglan, who screamed and fell to the ground, wanted to protest loudly, but now was not the time to argue, so she had to quickly run to Maka to help the latter deal with the injury. Babaka also ran over in a hurry.
“I’m fine!”
Maka exerted force on her waist and abdomen, and jumped up from the ground. As a result, her feet gave way before she could stand, and she fell back down.
“Okay, I’m a little dizzy”
Pandan first sprinkled two handfuls of life dust out of habit.
Although there were no obvious external injuries on Maka's body, inhaling the life dust can also have a certain effect.
“Okay, okay, Sneeze, that’s enough!” Maka was not very used to life dust, so she sneezed, quickly poured a bottle of recovery potion into her mouth, and stood up with a bug stick.
“I’m fine!” She shouted again to reassure Hayata and the others.
Perhaps it was because Maka's aerial combat attack killed a large number of thunder bugs, or maybe it was because he failed to successfully suppress the latter in the battle with Hayata, but the thunder wolf dragon seemed very irritable.
It's top corner pushed back the Tachiji who was entangled with it in front. Its limbs exerted force suddenly, and its huge body jumped back forty or fifty meters as if it was equipped with a spring.
“Ouch—!”
Thunder Wolf Dragon looked up to the sky and roared. The lightning bugs hidden among the grass and leaves in the surrounding trees gathered around it. Blue-white lightning wrapped around its body and made a rumble and explosion.
"Interrupt it! It's charging!" Feng Ying shouted, while she put away her sword and shield as fast as possible and threw the flash bomb.
Hayata and Maka also rushed forward at full speed.
However, whether it was the flash bomb or the hunters who tried to charge and approach, it was still a step too late.
The flash bomb was engulfed by lightning before it could detonate.
The hair on the Thunder Wolf Dragon's body stood up like steel needles, and the overlapping golden carapace also opened layer by layer, and a rich electric light shone in it, which was countless lightning bugs.
The Thunder Wolf Dragon, which entered the super-charged state, walked slowly and looked down at the hunters from a high position.
Hayata and Maka stopped abruptly, their eyes carefully fixed on the thunder-wrapped giant beast in front of them.
“Be careful, it’s super fast in this state!” Feng Ying warned loudly in the distance.
As if to prove Feng Ying's evaluation, the Thunder Wolf Dragon, which was strolling leisurely a second ago, suddenly burst out at a shocking high speed.
In the afterimage left by the scorching lightning, the Thunder Wolf Dragon, which looked like a real thunder in its super-charged state, jumped to the side of the Tachi user and the insect stick user.
Hayata and Maka turned around quickly, trying to re-lock their opponents with their gazes.
However, the Thunder Wolf Dragon, which had not stopped at all after landing, had already rushed towards the two of them.
At times like this, the muscles are always faster than the brain.
Hayata and Maka didn't have time to think too much, and flew out to both sides at the same time, narrowly avoiding this shocking roundabout collision.
Thunder Wolf Dragon's attack did not end here.
Just as it scratched the ground with its sharp claws, stopped and turned around, and was about to charge again, another flash bomb flew towards it.
The one who threw the flash bomb was Babaka, a little strange-faced tribe who was chasing after his master.
Amidst the angry roar, the Thunder Wolf Dragon shook its head vigorously.
Its charge was interrupted.
