Chapter 582
"Adon, put the crossbow gun down." Kaede scolded, "It probably hasn't noticed us yet." ”
"Click-", a ballista was pressed into the chamber of the gun. The short-haired girl named Dong was visibly heavy in breathing, but she obediently folded the barrel of her gun and put the crossbow back on her back.
"Most of the lord-level monsters' night vision ability is more than six times that of humans," Feng Chen's side, under the suppression of the law of rank, the herbivorous dragon was already obviously trembling, "It should have been discovered a long time ago, do you want to fight?" ”
"It's going to attract patrol boats." Kaede forcibly led the herbivore dragon forward, only paying attention to the red eyes that flashed obliquely, "That monster is far away, it should not have decided on the intention of attacking." ”
"Or maybe it's just watching, waiting for the right moment." Feng Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "There are not many monsters in the Wyvern species who are good at stealth," the trees in the water forest are dense, and a little moonlight has long been blocked by the cascading canopy, and the silhouette of the other party can only be vaguely seen from the direction of Feng Chen, "I think of a nasty guy, it's the Swift Dragon ......"
"Don't!" The senior interrupted in a low voice, "Don't pronounce its name, it will be noticed." "Higher-level predators have a considerable degree of intelligence, and even if they don't understand human language, they may be able to recognize certain key information through syllables, and may even think that the Shadow Hunters are provoking.
Being trapped in the submerged forest is the result of poachers taking risks to shorten their journeys. Once you get into a fight, even if you can really end the battle quickly before the patrol boat arrives, the many chain reactions caused by the death of the lord-level monster will be detected by the observation station in less than an hour. The Shadow Hunters' supply network is far less complete than that of the Guild, and everyone is even more isolated in the Guild's territory, and the four of them will be caught in the embarrassing situation of being attacked by both the mad monster and the Guild Knight, and even the materials of the Swift Dragon will have to be surrendered to the Guild.
The group had no choice but to walk forward in silence, and the fluorescent red eyes in the distance looked at the hunter in front of him like a military parade. Although the monster's body was still two or three hundred meters away, the coercion of one of the lords was like substance, and it was heavily pressed on Feng Chen's shoulders. Feng Chen even felt the heat emitted by those eyes constantly burning his sideburns, and he bit the tip of his tongue heavily, forcing his gaze to pull back from the corner.
The giant beasts in the dark forest watched the group with great interest. The guys who have spent time in this realm in the past are either looking for an opportunity to escape when they see themselves, or they are ready for battle, but they don't have the kind of guys who don't see them like they are in front of them. It waited for a while, until the hunters had stepped a few dozen meters further, and then took a few anxious steps forward.
"It's keeping up!" Beads of sweat appeared on Feng Chen's forehead. Listening to the flying dragon species getting closer and closer, the depression in the air was a little unbearable even for him, let alone the pack beast beside him. The reins in the hunter's hand were stretched straight, and each step had to be dragged hard to get the herbivorous dragon to move to keep up.
"Don't look at ......" Kaede was already difficult to maintain his previous pace, the feeling of the thorn on his back was getting clearer and clearer, and the hunter's fighting instinct was like he was going to take over his entire body in the next second.
"Uh......h Woo...... "A herbivorous dragon led by Asha was the first to be crushed. Lu Xing has only undergone the training of carrying burdens, where has he ever seen such a battle on the line of life and death. The monster's mountain-like body crouched to the ground, its back shaking like chaff, and the girl refused to take a step forward no matter how hard she exerted it.
"Damn...... The herbivorous dragon didn't move. Feng Chen put down the reins in his hand and helped the girl pull together.
"You can't leave them behind." Kaede said. The herbivorous dragons carried most of the supplies for the trip, and they had to rely on their feet to pass through the Union Observatory, "otherwise we can't do without the water." ”
"That monster didn't even think about letting us go!" Dusty shouted. The strength of the human race could not pull the land species that insisted on not leaving, and the hunter threw down the reins in hatred and twisted it directly on the nose of the land species, and the monster snorted in pain, and his knees stood up again.
"Hula-" Seeing that the humans stopped, the wyvern species in the darkness did not wait any longer. The beast's wings flapped quietly, its body soared into the air like a floating leaf, its red eyes drew two zigzag lines of light in the air, the light streaks broke through the canopy, and disappeared among the leaves, and the sound of rustling got closer and closer, finally shattering the shade above the hunters' heads, and slamming down directly in front of the group.
Feng in the leading position subconsciously took a step back and touched the cloth bag on the back of the herbivore dragon with his hand. Wisps of moonlight descended from the torn canopy of the trees, revealing the silhouette of the behemoth in front of it.
The monster was at least twenty meters long, but its head was ridiculously small. Its head was shaped like a combination of a bat and a cat, and the ghostly red fluorescence came from the eyes of the yin owl. The wyvern's exaggerated tail loomed behind it, and the blade-like winged claws characteristic of the swiftloon glistened black in the moonlight. The monster's body color is not a night-like blue, but a dark green that is more suitable for forest movement, but the tip of the tail is brown-red, and the sound of gurgling water is made between the shakes.
"Green Swift Dragon...... The water is not in the forest subspecies. Kaede's heart was cold. Not only are there slight differences in coat color and habits from the native species, but subspecies monsters are generally stronger than the native species, which is an indisputable fact in the hunter world. With another time, this encounter is enough for poachers to laugh out loud in their dreams, because their materials are relatively rarer and more valuable, but now it means less chance of escape and greater losses for the team.
"Hey...... Sure enough, it's the worst unfolding. Kaede reached out to untie a cable on the side of the herbivorous dragon, and the wrapped oilcloth scattered around, revealing the heavy black sword inside. The hunter reached out and grabbed the hilt of his sword, placing it on the ground.
"Wait!" Seeing that his predecessor was about to take on a fighting stance, Feng Chen had to remind, "This guy doesn't seem to be here to fight...... Let's leave a herbivore dragon for it and see what happens. ”
"You want to negotiate with the monster?" Kaede didn't look back, his eyes glued to every movement of the monster.
"You said that its intelligence is not inferior to ours." "Besides, if we fight," admonished, "we will always lose one or two herbivorous dragons." ”
Kaede observed again, and the green swift dragon in front of him was just stubbornly blocking the way of the hunters, while releasing coercion to stop the herbivorous dragon's actions, and really had no intention of doing it.
"Asha, you tie the one in your hand to the trunk over there." Despite being robbed by the monster, Kaede followed the hunter's advice, "Don't touch the supplies on its back, don't make unnecessary moves." ”
The girl nodded, took the remaining herbivorous dragon in her hand, and walked slowly to the side. As the hunter moved, the little head of the Wyvern Species also turned little by little, and its eyes looked at the distant Land Species. 10
