Chapter 775: The Mouth of the Abyss
"Is that a lightning bug?!" Gordon blurted out a question, but his tone was quite certain.
The thunder bullets spit out by Fuyue Dragon do not have a straight and fast trajectory like the energy breath, but float leisurely and seem to be alive.
The thunder bombs fired by the Thunder Wolf Dragon are very similar to this, but I always feel that the light clusters that are suspected of being spit out by the Thunder Wolf Dragon are particularly large.
Perhaps it is a special variety.
Facing the attack of Fuyue Dragon, Nanasi, who was already timid, dug into the ground frantically, and finally hid underground before the thunder bomb struck.
Those thunder bombs fell on the ground, bursting out with bursts of dazzling lightning. If they were hit head-on, it would probably be very uncomfortable.
——'
A dye bomb landed on Fuyue Long from a distance.
The person who opened fire was Gale. There was no need to open her scope to lock onto such a large target. After firing the crossbow shells, she immediately put away the light crossbow and continued running.
Hunting cats and shooters tried to use this method to repeatedly attract Fuyuelong's attention and create favorable conditions for the evacuation of all members.
There is nothing wrong with this strategy in itself, but they underestimated Fuyuelong's IQ.
It simply ignored the innocuous temptations, stretched out its octopus-like tentacles, and spun several times in the air more than a hundred meters high, as if choosing a target.
The hunting cats that burrowed into the ground, and Hilda, who had a very low sense of presence, were directly passed by it.
Gail, who was dressed in a mess of equipment, was not interested, but the faint aura of the ancient dragons exuding from Gordon, Hayata and Ancil made it a little greedy.
There is one on this side, two on that side, and a larger one.
Slowly turning his eyes, Fuyuelong completely focused his attention on Gordon and Hayata, or Gordon to be precise.
The huge but soft body contracted for a while, and a large stream of gas with a rotten smell was ejected. At the same time, its arms and legs swung, and it floated in the air like a soft-bodied creature swimming in the water, heading towards Gordon and the others. Speed up and fly away.
Noting that he was a target again, Gordon couldn't help but cursed and accelerated his pace as fast as he could.
After running at full strength for a long time, [He Yao] is activated, and dragon energy pours out from the gaps in the armor, especially the jets behind the shoulder armor, assisting him in running while reducing his physical consumption (continuous running).
However, what he didn't expect was that the high-energy dragon aura made him more conspicuous and attractive in Fuyuelong's eyes.
It flies faster.
Seeing the distance between Fu Yuelong and himself getting closer, he realized that he would definitely not be able to rush into the dense forest in time.
Gordon decided to try fighting. It was better than turning his back to the monster and being eaten while running.
At least decent.
Noticing Gordon's pace slowing down, Hayata, realizing what he was about to do, changed his route and moved closer to him.
Gordon saw Hayata's movement out of the corner of his eye and felt a little helpless, but at this time, she probably wouldn't listen to him shouting at her to leave.
Just like if Fu Yuelong was heading for her, he would definitely rush over to support her.
“Don’t slow down! Keep running! I have a way to stop it!”
Ansil's shouts came from the distance. Gordon and Hayata looked at each other as they approached. The two of them put down their palms on the hilts of their swords and quickened their pace again.
The body of the floating Yuelong in the air swelled again.
Anhil, who was rushing to a certain position with a heavy crossbow in his arms, slid to a stop. A supernova was loaded into the crossbow chamber. When Fuyuelong ejected gas again and propelled the flight, the crossbow projectile was ejected.
The crossbow shells turned into a line of fire and shot straight into the air.
This supernova did not follow Fuyuelong's body. Due to the timed fuse used, the range of the supernova was not enough to directly attack Fuyuelong nearly a hundred meters high.
Anhil aimed at the gases ejected by Fuyue Dragon.
Except for hot air balloons that use fuel to continuously heat up, most airships can take off because the light gas in the air bag provides lift, and these gases are often flammable and explosive.
Just now he noticed that while the Fuyuelong spewed out gas to boost its acceleration, its flight altitude dropped significantly, so the gas it spewed out should be some kind of gas that is lighter than air.
The bright flames and high temperatures of supernova explosions may ignite them.
Even if it doesn't work, it can still distract Fu Yuelong and buy Gordon and the others some time, right?
“Boom—!”
The supernova exploded a huge fireball with a diameter of more than ten meters in the sky, and then an even more violent explosion occurred.
In the muffled sound of "bang", the gas that had just been ejected by the Fuyue Dragon and whose concentration had just been diluted to a certain threshold range was ignited. The terrifying air waves swept around, and even the Fuyue Dragon high in the sky was overturned. Made two somersaults.
Anhil smiled upon seeing this, folded and put away the heavy crossbow, and quickly rushed towards the nearby dense forest.
“Okay! Big fireworks!” Gale cheered in the distance.
Hilda, who was looking in the other direction, had her eyes twitching a few times, and she could only look prayerfully at the ancient tower in the center of the ruins.
Don’t be woken up. Don’t be woken up. Don’t be woken up.
Ancier’s supernova has an unexpectedly good blocking effect.
After all, Fuyuelong has no wings and its flight mode is rather passive. The strong airflow has a great impact on it floating in the air. It took a lot of effort to finally adjust its flying posture.
Gordon and Hayata also took this opportunity to cross the boundary between the ruins and the forest. A sea of trees composed of densely planted trees was in front of them.
“Hooooooooo—”
A low and muffled roar echoed in the ancient ruins. Fuyue Long was furious, and his bloated body spun quickly.
It was like a huge flying disk, whirling and changing direction, crashing into the dense forest where Ancier retreated. Countless giant trees were shattered, and the tremors of the earth could be clearly felt from a long distance away.
Gordon suddenly stopped and looked back.
The Fuyue Dragon, which smashed into a large forest, shook its mountain-like body and rose into the air again. It opened its huge abyss-like mouth, and a terrifying suction force enveloped the forest that it had smashed into pieces.
Big trees, shrubs, turf, soil, and even tree roots buried deep underground.
Everything within tens of thousands of square meters was swept away by the suction force and poured into the huge open mouth of Fuyue Dragon.
Almost in the blink of an eye, at the junction of the ruins of the ancient pagoda and the sea of trees, there was a large piece of nothing, only disgusting patches of bare land.
Gordon's eyes widened as his mind was in confusion, and Hayata beside him couldn't help but cover his mouth with his palms.
It was hard for them to imagine how Anhir could survive such an attack.
The silence lasted for several seconds, and Gordon suddenly spoke, "I'm going to take a look. He must be still alive."
“I’ll go too.” Hayata tightened the strap of the sword and followed Gordon’s footsteps.
However, at this moment, another figure that seemed to emerge from the night blocked them in front of them.
is Hilda, "to retreat."
Gordon was very emotional. He was about to say something when he was coldly interrupted by Hilda: "It doesn't make any sense to go now.
If Anhir is hit or swallowed by the Fuyue Dragon, he will definitely die. You will only add two more dead.
If Anhil is still alive nearby, you will only attract unnecessary attention from Fuyue Long and harm him instead.
Withdraw into the sea of trees and immediately wait until Fuyuelong calms down or moves away, then come back to start search and rescue. "
Hilda's words helped Gordon and the others regain some of their sanity.
Under the gaze of the former, Gordon and Hayata forced themselves to calm down, gritted their teeth and slowly retreated into the sea of trees.
