To date, "cologne" is still not a strict category, just as "being able to cause natural disasters" is their characteristic, not the basis for classification. Despite generations of exploration and research, the hunter world still does not have a accepted definition of the ancient dragon species. In the early days of Locklac's life, the sage of the scribes braved his life to bring back a large number of precious manuscripts from the depths of the Thundering Sand Sea, but instead of advancing the development of ancient dragon research as he wished, he brought back more doubts to those who came after him.

Wyvern species all have wings on their backs and have hard scale claws, most of the beast species have strong hind legs and excessively short forelimbs, the ornithosaur species have beaks, the ichthyosaur species have fins, and ninety percent of the ivory beast species are viviparous and lactating monsters. But they are the only ones, each of them has very different appearances and habits, even if there are occasional similarities in appearance, but if you look closely, there is a world of difference between their respective ecology.

But in the hunter world, there are no monsters that are easier to distinguish than the ancient dragons. Even rookies who are new to the field do not need to identify these species standing at the top of the biological chain when they see them, and they will not hesitate to classify them into the category of "ancient dragon species".

Unlike the cowardice and obedience brought about by the law of hierarchy, the sense of fear and powerlessness that permeates the whole body is the product of the knowledge and experience that has been passed down from generation to generation of human beings. The illusion of "about to be torn apart" that arises in my heart just by standing on the hunting ground will never appear in the face of any monster other than the ancient dragon species.

As the dragon's body was dyed dark red by the thunderlight, the sky at the top of the valley became more and more gloomy. The clouds turned as deep blue as the night sky, as if ink was pouring down from the sky at any moment. There was a faint smell of blood on the battlefield, and from time to time there was the sound of thunderstorms in everyone's ears.

Afraid of the thunder snakes dancing on the cemetery, the hunters had to retreat a few dozen meters back. The whip-like tentacles of the ancient dragon species burst out of the ground in unison, rolling around their bodies like strange creatures that only appear in dreams. Shun swallowed with difficulty, and this terrifying scene was like a basin of ice water poured on his head, making most of the hunter's fighting intent extinguished in an instant: "Before being called the 'Corpse God', the Skeleton Dragon had another nickname...... It's called 'Naraku's Demon Star'. ”

"It's just us scaring ourselves," Morin's heart fluttered, and he was the first to wake up from his horror, "This guy has never said what his name is." Speaking of which, even the name of the 'Skeleton Dragon' was given by the union scribes, and its body and bones are not completely incompatible? ”

"The ancient dragon species that has been chasing for so long, it is rare to let a natural disaster move for us, I really hope that the captain can be here too......" Luo Pingyang sighed.

"What to do? Sent to death? The blue-armored hunter said nervously. The red arc of electricity spouting from the dragon's mouth was like a cage, enveloping the monster entirely, and in this state, it was already invincible just by standing quietly: "Look at those thunderbolts, if we don't find a way to break through the past, we won't even have a chance to hurt it." ”

"No, it's coming on its own......" Amphines stood on the hammerman's shoulder, his back jerked, "be careful! Get out of the way! ”

Despite missing the two tentacles around their mouths, the ancient dragon's movement speed increased instead of decreasing. Perhaps it was the red electric light that enhanced the monster's strength, or perhaps it was the skeleton dragon that only now showed its true ability, and the six steps flicked in the river of bones, dragging the heavy head of the giant beast forward, like a huge chariot entwined by lightning and lightning, crushing towards the four-star hunters.

"So fast!" Bai Shao's heart was filled with bitterness. The ancient dragon species swayed away the bones in front of him, and his running speed was even no less than that of the high-ranking beast dragon species's all-out dragon car, and the six tentacles under the monster were constantly fine-tuning the direction of travel, and it was difficult to move for half a minute. The skeleton dragon traveled all the way, its mouth pushing all the way to the bones on the ground. The pile of bones rolled up, and in an instant, a huge wave of bones nearly ten meters high appeared. The hunters hurriedly fled to both sides, but before they could retreat from the path of the skeleton dragon, the bone wave approached the four of them in an instant.

The wave carried the scum of the sky and pressed down fiercely with the heavy body of the ancient dragon species. It was as if Mount Tai was pouring into the sea, and the entire battlefield instantly fell into a bone-white fog. The rain of bones fell from mid-air, Luo Pingyang's hands dug out of the pile of bones, struggled to expose his head to the ground, and took a hard breath: "Everyone is okay, right?" Damn it...... I didn't see it do this last time. ”

"If I had to do it again, I probably wouldn't have been so lucky." Merlin spat out the bone meal that had been in his mouth, but fortunately, the heavy sword blocked most of the falling bones, which allowed the short hunter to get away with it, "Really...... Powerful without dead ends......"

The blue-armored hunter pulled his legs out of the pile of bones buried deep in the depths, and not far from Shun's side was the ancient dragon's lodging tentacles, and he was no more than a dash away from the strange red arc. A layer of cold sweat broke out on the back of the four-star hunter, and he exclaimed to himself: "Morin, do you still have any extra of the powerful exploding barrel before?" ”

"Thanks to you, we brought a total of two barrels to the dragon, and that was only dropped in the last battle, and it was already the last one." Bai Shao's breathing was heavy and difficult, and his face was also full of purple after lack of oxygen, and the dodging action in the extreme state seemed to be a heavy burden on the white-armored hunter who had not healed from his injuries. He looked at the crossbow in the distance, the dragon's attack did not spread in that direction, and the crossbow platform stood in place: "There are still a few ordinary crossbow shells on the side of the crossbow, but I doubt it will have much effect on the current situation." ”

"It seems that we don't have much choice" Merlin stood up, patted the bundle of herbs that was intact on his waist, and smiled helplessly, "Listen, everyone, although I want to continue fighting, it seems that there will be no progress if I continue to fight." Besides, the dragon fruit has been killed, and the captain is still waiting for us on the airship, so I think it's time to evacuate. ”

"What are you talking about?" Shun's eyes widened, and he said categorically, "No...... The village is right behind us! "If the skeleton dragon climbs up the cliff, at its speed, I'm afraid it will run to the vicinity of Pading Village in half an hour. In such a short period of time, the villagers may not be able to evacuate even half of them: "Abandon the civilians behind you and run away on your own, is this the 'strongest hunter team' created by Scarlet?" ”

"Hey! We didn't say we were going to run away. A gloomy color rose in Luo Pingyang's eyes, "You have civilians to protect, and we also have companions waiting for treatment, do you really want to compare your lives with each other now?" ”

Seeing that the monster gradually stood up from the state of being servant, the temporary captain made several gestures one after another, and commanded the team to run towards the edge of the cliff when he came: "Xiao Luo is right, besides, we have neither supplies nor backup, and the union at this time doesn't even know that someone has broken into the valley. Even if the dragon climbed the cliff, it would not necessarily go straight to the village of Pattin. It's not too late for us to get back to the ground and regroup...... Hey, what are you going to do? ”

The dragon's massive body finally staggered to its feet, and six reddish tentacles swept away the broken bones around it, carefully searching for the four hunters on the ground. The ancient dragon species had not yet completely locked the reptile under its feet, but felt that the top of his head sank, and the huge bony skull cracked a small gap with a click. The sharp crossbow bullet slashed through a parabola and stabbed into the graveyard master's skull, the tail of which rattled aggressively.

The monster followed the prestige, and vaguely felt that there was an extra operator on the crossbow platform on the other side of the battlefield. Shun clenched his teeth tightly, and wisps of blood oozed from his gums: "It's obvious, right?" I'm going to steer this guy in another direction! ”

"This is a ancient dragon! I can't take the slightest risk of getting close to the village! The sights of the crossbow had been damaged, and the blue-armored hunter could identify the trajectory of the crossbow with his naked eye, and his words were accompanied by a series of terrible screams, clearly the sound of the crossbow arrows breaking through the wind.

"The village of Pading may not be able to wait for the next battle, and so will I." There were only a few rounds of ballistas, but they were completely empty in a few seconds, but they were enough to make the Skeleton Dragon notice the four-star hunter. The Blue Armor Hunter pulled out his sword and said with a wry smile, "To be honest, I don't even know if I have the courage to come back and face this graveyard after escaping from this cemetery. If you have to fight it sooner or later, it is better to choose it now, and see how far you can go in front of the ancient dragon species at this moment......

"Woo ......" saw the ground in front of Shun surge, and a slightly shorter tentacle poked out in front of the hunter's eyes. Morin slammed his thigh and beckoned fiercely, "The dragonmare belongs, come over and help!" ”

Luo Pingyang had already seen the battle situation on the side, and the hammer hand had the heart to help, but there was also a tentacle in front of him. The ancient dragon species manipulated ten hands and feet, and it was obviously familiar with multitasking, and the beast arm hanging from the tip of the tentacle carried the green slime fungus, aiming at Luo Pingyang and pressing down violently. The hunter was afraid of the electric light wrapped around the tentacles, and only fought hard with his hammer and beast arm. When the hammer blade landed, a little fungus was sticked, but he couldn't shake it off no matter what, Luo Pingyang was shocked in his heart, but the tentacles in front of him had already smashed down again.

The moment the hammer and the beast arm intersected, the hunter's eyes narrowed. The hammerman was keenly aware that a small spark had flashed from the spot where the weapons had struck. Luo Pingyang didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly let go of the hands holding the war hammer.

"Boom!"

The hammer was no more than half a meter away from the hunter, and it burst into flames in the air. The slime molds burst apart, and the waves of air that rolled up were like substance, pushing the hunter backwards violently. Luo Pingyang stood unsteadily, fell into the pile of bones with one foot, the smoke dissipated, and the monster's forearm that had withstood the power of the explosion was shattered, and the true face of the tentacle was finally revealed.

Wisps of blood-red arcs of lightning were frantically surging towards the tips of the tentacles, and the lightning breaths were full of momentum, and they could no longer rest on the ancient dragon's body. The hunter exclaimed, and the columnar arc as thick as a bucket slashed head-on towards him, and Luo Pingyang fell to the ground, as if he had completely lost the possibility of dodging this blow.

"Get moving!" A sharp voice rang out from beside the hammerman. Although they are short in stature, they are no weaker than humans. In a hurry, Anfinis used twelve percent of his strength to fly Luo Pingyang with his weapons.

"Horn!"

Lightning struck the hunter's footing, and a cloud of green smoke rose from the pile of bones. Luo Pingyang rolled a few times to relieve his strength, and before he could stand up, he hurriedly called out to his entourage: "Anfei! ”

"I'm ...... Hit? Little Eru scrambled to her feet, the red light in her eyes and the sharp pain that had filled her body a few seconds ago seemed to have never happened. Amphinez looked down suspiciously, the hunting armor was still in good condition, and there were no obvious external injuries on his body, but a feeling of weakness came from the depths of his mind, which made Eru yawn involuntarily.
