Chapter 267 Damn, you dare to touch my horse!
"That's a dragon lizard!" Geralt, who was behind Lan, shouted in a low voice, "among all dragon beasts, the creature that has been closest to a true dragon!"
Geralt, who knew the habits of various monsters by heart, summarized the situation in front of him very accurately. The dangers of ugly monsters - the closest thing to a dragon.
Dragon lizard, classified as [dragon beast], is commonly known as [gliding lizard]. This common name is unremarkable, but the more unpretentious the name, the more widely spread it is in the mouths of the people, making everyone wary of it.
But it is useless to just be wary of dragon lizards. Just as Geralt said, dragon lizards are superior to all dragon beasts, surpassing the terrifying predation of pterodactyls, fork-tailed dragons and other miscellaneous dragon beasts. By.
While other dragon beasts rely on their hard scales and powerful bodies to hunt, the dragon lizard has already gone one step further: not only does it have a larger body and stronger muscles than ordinary predators, it can also breathe fire, use sonic attacks, The spikes on its tail are venomous, and it can be said to be an all-in-one super killing machine.
If necessary, even beasts like griffins can feed on it.
Lann understood the power of the Glider Lizard far more intuitively than Geralt: the Serpent Sect declined in the future of the original timeline, Kolgrim died unjustly in the White Orchard, and Letho struggled with the remaining sect in the south for several years. Take Oaks and Seret, the only two remaining sect companions, to go north. Then he was beaten to the brink of death by a gliding lizard that suddenly encountered him.
Facing three snake sect demon hunters, he beat the leader of the sect, Lei Suo, to the point of death. The gliding lizard could be said to have almost destroyed the snake sect!
Although it was a sudden encounter, the demon hunter's combat effectiveness was greatly reduced without preparation in advance. After all, what witchers are good at is making fights. But this can also tell the composition of the gliding lizard from the side. It is well-deserved as the first dragon beast under the true dragon.
If Geralt hadn't happened to be passing by nearby at that time, and he cooperated with the remaining two people of the Snake Faction to kill the gliding lizard, maybe the Snake Faction would have really disappeared from the world in such frustration.
It is also because of this that Geralt gained the undying friendship of the Snake School.
Of course, now the fate of the Snake School has been rewritten, and the Venomous Snake has still become a trusted brother with the White Wolf under some circumstances, so there is no need to worry about the future of the Snake School.
What I have to worry about now is how to deal with the gliding lizard in front of me.
...
If Mahakam did not have the existence of the red dragon, this gliding lizard would definitely be the undisputed overlord of Mahakam, and no life could escape its poisonous hands.
Black Wind's charge and impact can be compared to that of a chariot, and it can be like entering a deserted land on the battlefield. But such an impact is not enough on an apex predator that is several times its size.
The dragon lizard was attacked by a sneak attack and was knocked off the ground. Its entire body flew backwards at an unreasonable speed. But in the process, it actually started to flap its wings and maintained balance by relying on its strong instinct and muscle memory.
At the same time, it twisted its body, and its long tail densely covered with poisonous stings turned into a black shadow and whipped towards the black wind with lightning speed.
With a "stab" sound, even after trying his best to dodge, Heifeng's hind leg was still torn open, blood flowed out, and soon turned black. Fortunately, the witcher's mutation gave Black Wind strong resistance to toxins. Although he immediately began to stagger, the horse did not fall down on the spot.
The body is still a bit weak just after the demon hunting mutation. Due to race problems, the [Follower] system rarely has tasks suitable for Black Wind's upgrade. The role that this horse can play in this level of battle is already very limited.
Unless it can truly learn the seal like a demon hunter, or undergo a real secondary mutation enhancement.
...
Heifeng was unable to leave the battlefield in time due to poisoning, and after the dragon lizard stabilized his body, he was attracted by the horse that attacked him.
In addition to its hatred, it also found that the meat of this horse seemed to be more delicious than those on the ground with disgusting shells. The huge mouth intertwined with sharp tusks opened, and there was a faint fire surging deep in the throat. This monster actually thought of roasting Black Wind until it was crispy and delicious for a delicious meal.
However, what the dragon lizard did not notice was that the lion-eyed demon hunter not far away had already turned gloomy.
【flash】!
Golden light flickered between the dragon lizard and the target, and Lann appeared from it and blocked Black Wind. Without hesitation, he took out the seal with one hand and struck directly at the dragon lizard.
[Alder's Seal·Bearing]!
"Bake——"
"Woo——"
The scorching flames and the biting cold wind collided unreasonably in mid-air. The intertwining of ice and fire instantly divided their small battlefield into distinct areas. Two parts!
Not far away, the dwarves who originally wanted to come forward screamed and ran around. Some of the people's armors were as hot as barbecue, and the skin of others was so cold that they were sticking to the armor.
The anger in Lann's heart was far greater than the dragon flames sprayed by the dragon lizard. He shouted and suddenly increased the magic output of his left hand. The cold wind instantly overwhelmed the flames and directly enveloped the dragon lizard's entire body.
But then he looked at the dwarves who had no time to escape with some scruples, knowing that if he continued to increase his magic output, several lifelike dwarf ice sculptures might appear on the scene.
[Bearing] is still too restrictive to use in melee.
After slowly cooking this monster, you can also perform in front of the dwarves for a while and show off your muscles.
Lann shouted again, and the ice element spurting out of his left hand suddenly suffocated and turned into a pure telekinesis shock wave.
Now there is no need to worry about the magic output. The scene suddenly seemed to be swept by a typhoon. The dragon lizard flew out on the spot faster than the black wind hit it just now. The dwarves who were walking on the edge of the short legs and had no time to escape from the battlefield also grumbled. The ground turned into a blanket of rolling gourds that scattered in all directions. Even the Sharma tribe not far away slowed down slightly while rolling to prevent them from being deflected by the impact.
At the end of the first round, Lann took a deep breath and retracted his left hand.
He immediately felt a big warm head leaning against his back. Black Wind's eyes were aggrieved, while Lan touched its torn and bloody hind leg with great distress.
"Don't worry, I will avenge you."
Lan turned his left hand and took out a bottle of [Higher Oriole] for detoxification and a bottle of [Higher Swallow] potion for recovery of injuries, while gently stroking Hei Feng Hold the side of your neck and let it drink slowly. "Geralt, take our people to resist the Salma; Gabo, explain the situation
to your compatriots, and go over to defend against the Salma group - leave this dragon lizard to me!" The members of the Zygrin clan, who had been beaten for countless times, stood up dizzy, and
subconsciously started to retort with a loud voice: "This is a battle of dwarves! There is no reason for humans to intervene. Who are you?"
The dwarf saved by Black Wind was finally helped up by his clan mates, and he yelled: "You threw your brain into the furnace, Zygrin! If it hadn't been for this knight who appeared, we wouldn't have survived just now, just listen to him!" "
Not far away, Gabor Zygrin also yelled: "You damn Fuchs, show some respect to Zyglin! And Bowser, we really need to stay away. Duke Lannister is the guest of the Great Elder, and he is the only one present. You can deal with that damn big lizard!"
The dwarf named Kuba was obviously the leader of the Zyglin clan team. He had a hot temper and yelled back: "Gabo! It's okay for you to stand with humans. , why are you still speaking for damn Fuchs, no one..."
Before Bowser Ziglin finished his words, he seemed to be attracted by his yelling, and the dragon lizard that flew out actually flapped its wings. The wind pressure accelerated the body and flew towards him.
The other dwarves who had just stood up along the way were knocked out again, and the dragon lizard made a sharp turn and turned sideways when it was still fifteen steps away from Bowser Zigrin, and its tail with a stinger came out. He threw it towards the dwarf.
Bowser Zigrin was so scared that he felt like he was dead!
However, the next second, golden light flashed in front of him again. The knight wearing the cape of the great griffon was wrapped in ice, snow and fury, holding the rune sword above his head with both hands.
The tail with "wuwu" wind pressure hit the knight mercilessly; at the same time, the long sword that was bright like a torch also accumulated enough power through this desperate accumulation of power, and pulled out a dazzling arc. Crack it on the tail that still has the blood of the war horse.
With a "bang", the golden light film on the knight suddenly exploded, and the reaction force brought by the [Explosive Shield] caused Lan to fly backwards involuntarily. Relying on his strong core strength, he landed smoothly in mid-air. Lann looked at the results of the battle in front of him coldly.
"Hiss--" The dragon lizard let out a fierce scream that made the eardrums hurt. The tail with a poisonous stinger detached from the body and crashed to the ground. Blood sprayed out like it was free, covering large areas of bright white snow. The land is dyed red.
The Lake Lady's Sword, which had been enchanted to extend the invisible blade, not only cut off the tail at the root, but also cut off half of the opponent's hind legs!
The dragon lizard seemed to finally realize that he had provoked the wrong person, and flapped its wings vigorously in an attempt to escape. Although it lost its tail and could not maintain its balance, it still staggered into the sky.
Lan didn't stop him, he just looked at the broken tail on the ground with cold eyes: "It's this thing that hurt Black Wind..."
Then he looked up: "And that throat, trying to spit fire at Black Wind." He
was almost killed by the dragon lizard. Kuba Zygrin, whose tail was whipped into a deflated can, swallowed in shock and hurriedly took two steps back away from Lann.
Then he turned around and hurriedly moved his short legs like a windmill, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Shrink the team, everyone go and stop Sharma, leave this dragon lizard to this human being... No, leave it to this human being..." The great elder's guest!"
...
The dragon lizard flew swaying in the air, its buttocks spilling a series of blood stains in the air. This was the most serious wound it had suffered since its birth.
It flapped its wings and thought it could escape with its ability to fly. After all, judging from its many years of hunting experience, these little men wrapped in iron armor are absolutely helpless against the overlord in the sky, and the wooden spikes they shoot can never pierce their own scales.
However, the next second, the dragon lizard felt a weight on its back, and with its extremely keen hearing, it received a familiar voice.
"...Where are you going?"
Without letting the dragon lizard move too far away, Lan directly activated [Flash] to make himself appear in mid-air. His body in the air fell hard after half a breath of free fall. On the back of the dragon lizard.
Even without relying on bows and arrows, Lan now has short-term air supremacy in low-altitude areas.
The dragon lizard let out a frightened scream like a harpy, and then rolled awkwardly in mid-air in an attempt to throw Lan down. Without its tail, its flying dexterity is greatly reduced, and its attack methods have also become poor. It can only twist its body and swing its claws in vain.
But Lann didn't give the opponent a chance, he activated the [Flash] skill again.
The golden light went out, and this time he appeared directly in front of the dragon lizard.
He opened his left hand and pinched out the seal, with flames brewing in it.
——[Igni Sign·Pyromaniac]!
The dragon lizard, which likes to spray flames to roast its prey, was enveloped in someone else's flames for the first time and let out a shrill scream. However, the normal temperature flame did not cause fatal damage to it, and the [Pyromaniac] with a 40% ignition probability was not able to turn the dragon lizard into a torch in time.
But for flying units, the dragon lizard can no longer maintain its body in the sky.
Lann's ability to stay in the air was not enough. After briefly spraying out a cone of flame, his body fell uncontrollably. But it doesn't matter, he flashed golden light again, once again maintained his body slightly above the dragon lizard's body, and pinched out the seal again.
...
Black Wind's injuries have mostly recovered under the influence of the potion, but Geralt, who knew how much Lann treasured this horse, still drove it to the edge of the battlefield. At this time, Black Wind watched with some boredom as Sintra and the dwarves joined forces to deal with Sharma.
Then it was attracted by the movement in the sky and snorted excitedly.
The scene was reflected in the amber vertical pupils, and a golden stream of light was seen wrapping around a falling dragon beast, flashing on its head, flanks, back, and chest like flowing water, wearing a large griffon cloak. From time to time, the figure emerged from the stream of light, each time accompanied by a blazing cone of flame.
The golden light and flames intertwined, along with the blood constantly splashing in the sky, made Heifeng feel wonderful for a moment.
Not only that, Heifeng also saw that his master was constantly adjusting the angle of his fall to match the impact of the flames, actually trying to make the dragon lizard that had not flown far fall back to the battlefield at this moment.
"Xilulu——" The horse stood up and let out a long and cheerful cry.
The next second, its four hooves stamped on the ground, turned into a violent wind and swept across half of the battlefield, and then - took off.
The dwarves who were fighting only felt that a black shadow briefly blocked the sunlight above their heads. When they looked up, they saw a horse that looked like it had wings leaping in the air. The height was definitely high enough to cross an ordinary city wall.
Then, in perfect harmony with the golden light in mid-air, it hit the dragon lizard that was about to land.
The dragon lizard's chest made a crisp sound of bones breaking, and its body in the air suddenly turned. At this time, its flesh and blood body became like fuel and emitted flames from the inside out, as if a missile was being accelerated again.
And where it landed was the Sharma tribe in front of the Sintra people and dwarves - Black Wind was still very smart.
With a "boom", the dragon lizard fell heavily to the ground. The violent impact, the reaction force of the landing, and the ever-present burning made it suffocate even its screams.
This is not over yet.
A rock ball rolled by a sharma rolled over its body, followed by a second and a third. These underground monsters originally charged towards the defense lines of Cintra and the dwarves.
The sound of "click, click, click" continued to sound, the bones continued to be crushed, and even the scales on the surface of the crawling beast's skin began to crack, turning into sharp knives embedded in the flesh.
This is not over yet.
Lan En's golden light flashed and he appeared at the front of the team.
The lion-eyed demon hunter took a deep breath and took out the seal with his left hand again. This time, with his comrades behind him and only monsters in front of him, he can unleash his power unscrupulously.
[Igni Sign·Pyromania·Magic Explosion]!
The dwarves' minds were in a trance. For a moment, they thought they were not on the surface of the snow-capped mountains, but had returned to the underground forge. And the huge furnace built on magma was right next to him, roasting his body and squeezing out every drop of water inside.
The flames covered everything in sight, one breath, five breaths, ten breaths. The dwarves felt as if they were about to suffocate. They opened their mouths and stuck out their tongues like hounds, hoping to suck in a little cold wind from the snow-capped mountains.
Fortunately, the blond knight in front of him finally felt that enough was enough, and he withdrew his left hand.
The area around the mine has been deliberately cleaned manually, and there is no vegetation or other things that can be ignited. But at this moment, not only Salma and the dragon lizard are spraying flames from all corners of their bodies from the inside out, but also stones and sediments. Fire retardants like snow were burning strangely and fiercely.
The monsters screamed and became weaker and weaker; the snow on the ground melted, revealing charred rocks.
The evaporated white water vapor floated up, and was soon infected by thick black smoke, covering this area.
The dwarves watched the human in front of them turn around amid flames and screams. His eyes were searching for something, as if he wanted to target the leader of the dwarf clan.
Black Wind happily ran over and rubbed Lan's cheek.
Lann chuckled to appease the horse, turned around and politely asked the dwarves kindly: "Excuse me..."
In the crowd, one dwarf from each of the two clans swallowed a gulp of saliva. Being in two hostile clans, they should have been incompatible with each other. At this moment, they all took a step back in perfect agreement.
