Chapter 862 Entangled with Worm Threads
“You should retreat first, we can’t help much in this state.” Anhil glanced at the Metabet hunters who were fighting with the mysterious ancient dragon.
Of the dozen or so four-star and above elite hunters who blocked the mysterious ancient dragon, only five or six were still standing at this time.
These people said that all the injuries were minor. One of the swordsmen had a broken arm. He did not quit the battle even though he was holding the sword in one hand. It is easy to imagine how much fighting power he still had.
Burns are even more serious.
After the dragon's flame breath mixed with black oil explodes, the flames splashed on the body will continue to burn and penetrate into the gaps in the armor.
Some hunters whose armor was not resistant to fire had to take off their armor and throw it away to avoid being burned alive.
Even the hair becomes fuel for the fire.
The high-ranking flute player named Dorothy, half of her long hair was almost burnt bald, and her cheeks were covered with burn marks of blackened fluid. Even if they healed later, they would leave quite conspicuous burn scars.
This is because she used a knife to cut off her hair in time, otherwise the result may be even worse.
"I'm the only one here who's in good condition." Asa used the big sword to pull away the hunters in front of him.
His black-horned dragon armor's defensive performance and fire resistance are both outstanding. Coupled with the skills and experience of the seven-star hunter, although he has been fighting on the front line, he is in the best condition.
“Dorothy, lead the president and others to retreat, leave this to us.”
After saying that, Asa began to quicken his pace and joined the battle group of Gordon Hayata and Ge Mantis.
President Zheluo was holding a sledgehammer that he could hardly lift. He glanced at the hunters around him who were almost unsteady and his shoulders slumped a little. "Let's retreat."
Dorothy gritted her teeth and waved her hunting flute. After playing the last piece of blessing music, she and other hunters helped each other and left.
Anhil secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The spirit of these local hunters to protect their hometown is admirable, but they have already reached their limit, and if they insist on staying, they will only become a burden.
Next, there is a battle between them.
Asa fluttered to avoid the oncoming dragon-shooting spear, and then rolled continuously to avoid the subsequent attacks. Asa stood up quickly with a dark expression on his face.
He finally understood the difficulty of the guy in front of him.
Not to mention the mechanical behemoth that can stand up to the mysterious ancient dragon, even in its original form, Mantis Mantis, which simultaneously controls two dragon-striking guns and a large city gate shield, is extremely difficult to deal with.
Multi-tasking is its specialty. This guy's strength is completely proportional to the quantity and quality of the "weapons" around him.
When there is only one dragon gun, Gordon and Hayata can suppress it by cooperating with each other. With the addition of a steel city gate as a shield, it will be difficult to suppress it.
With two dragon-shooting spears and shields, it was difficult for the three high-ranking swordsmen to even get close to Ge Mantis.
A breakthrough must be found.
Gordon had the same idea.
Perhaps because his attacks are the most powerful, Ge Mantis specially used the large shield made of the city gate to deal with him. It blocked him wherever he went, which was a headache.
“Try to switch positions frequently!” Gordon shouted.
Whether it is the dragon gun or the steel city gate, it is controlled by Mantis with multiple strands of silk threads. By repeatedly moving around and changing positions, these threads may be entangled together.
Hayata immediately understood what Gordon was thinking. Although Asa failed to figure out the reason for doing so at the first time, this did not prevent him from executing it.
He is not the kind of person who is very "addicted to his seniors" and feels that listening to his juniors is tantamount to losing face.
Gordon's current strength is not inferior to him. In addition, Silverborder is the only team that has dealt with Ge Mantis. As a temporary combat force, it makes sense to follow the command.
The three of them maintained their offensive posture while frequently staggering and changing positions.
The results of this strategy are almost immediate.
Gordon and Hayata passed by each other, and the dragon gun and steel city gate chasing them suddenly lost control and fell to the ground.
The silk threads are entangled together, and even the mantis cannot untie them immediately.
Upon seeing this, Gordon and Hayata immediately changed their direction of action and rushed towards the Mantis not far away.
The Mantis tugged at its legs, trying to control the remaining dragon-shooting gun to return to defense.
The Great Sword of [Divine Power] and the Night Knife [Moon Shadow] slashed at the vital parts of the Mantis's head and chest one after another. The pain caused the Mantis to let out ear-piercing screams, and it swung its sickle-shaped blade arm to fight back.
Hayata immediately raised his sword, flicked the arm of the sword at a subtle angle, slashed the sword vertically, and drove back the mantis.
The mantis hissed and swung its other blade arm towards her again, as if to cut her in half.
This time, Hayata did not use the strong air blade to parry, but stabbed the sword straight. The moment the sword tip hit the chest of Ge Mantis, he jumped up, avoided the horizontal slash of the sword arm, and slashed from mid-air. Down.
Air blade cutting!
——!
The mantis screamed in pain. A huge incision nearly two meters long was cut from the head to the thorax. The legs supporting the body softened and fell to the ground.
"pretty!"
While Hayata and Ge Mantis were fighting each other, Gordon chewed a strange power pill, swung his sword to stir up his fighting spirit, and activated the beast soul possession. His whole body was filled with scarlet arrogance mixed with the armor's dragon aura, surging like a raging flame.
Subsequently, he condensed and compressed his fighting energy and began to prepare for the true charged attack.
Asa, who ran back from a distance after drinking potion, saw Gordon's appearance and couldn't help but be speechless, "Young people today, how many things do they have to pile on their bodies?"
“Drink!”
Gordon roared, and the strongest sword fell.
He is confident that if this sword hits the target, the claw blade of the great sword [Shenwei] will be able to tear off the small mantis head!
It's a pity that even after being chopped down by Hayata, Ge Mantis' reaction was still surprisingly fast.
With no time to react, it stretched its blade arm and moved its body slightly backwards.
The claw blade made of the claws of the Big Boom Dragon passed in front of its eyes, and finally landed on its thorax, tearing open a large piece of carapace, and almost breaking the not-so-thick thorax with one blow. The emerald green The insect blood spurted out.
This is a nearly fatal blow.
However, the beetle species’ unique resilience allowed it to endure.
Stimulated by the severe pain, the mantis almost jumped up from the ground. Countless worm threads sprayed out from the glands in its abdomen and tail, wrapping around everything around it.
The hunters also inevitably got some sticky worm threads on their bodies. In order to prevent the worm threads from getting entangled and completely losing their ability to move, they had to retreat temporarily.
More worm threads fell on the ruins where the fire was still burning. Many were scorched by the flames, but some of them successfully wrapped around the heavy parts.
Feeling that its life is threatened, it is ready to forcibly pull up the city!
Pork Chop rushed over and threw a few incendiary bombs at the hunters to attract the attention of the monsters.
Fortunately, the three people's armors were very resistant to flames. With the help of these incendiary bombs, they quickly broke free from the shackles of the insect silk.
“It’s very weak!” Gordon yelled: “The construction speed of the mechanical behemoth is much slower than before! Stop it before the city is pulled up!”
“Boom!”
At this moment, a bomb cabin that was as tall as a person and had an overall streamlined shape crashed down ten meters away from them.
Gordon's eyes twitched.
He recognized it as a support supply rocket from the Dragon Sense Ship.
Aren't we asking you to send some supplies now? !
Amidst the sound of airflow, the rocket's thick capsule split into two halves and bounced open. There were no supplies inside, only a red and black tachi inserted vertically.
It is Hayata's flying dragon sword [Black Glory].
“Ha!” Gordon couldn’t help laughing.
Those scholars are really smart. The fire-attribute flying dragon knife [Black Glory] is used to attack the body of the Mantis. The effect may be average, but when used to cut and destroy the worm threads, the effect is absolutely first-class.
“Hayata!”
“Understood!” Hayata ran towards the supply warehouse, grabbed the Dragon Blade [Black Glory], and then rushed towards the slowly building market city at full speed.
Gordon and Asa charged towards Mantis, who was trying hard to pull the control worm thread.
Whether it is cutting off the worm threads or solving the main body, the mechanical behemoth must not be allowed to take shape again!
