Chapter 278: Defeat my followers first.
Generally speaking, dragons can be roughly divided into four types according to color: red dragon, green dragon, black dragon, and white dragon.
Among them, the red dragon's dragon flames have the highest temperature, enough to melt steel and rocks; it is also the largest, with an average body length of up to fifteen meters.
The red dragon in front of him, Kelturis, is the leader of his own race. Its size is about a quarter larger than the average red dragon, and its head can be as long as two dwarves. Densely packed bone spurs and horny hair extend from the center of its eyebrows toward the back of its head, like a crown.
This is a super monster that has been fighting with the dwarves of Mahakam for hundreds of years and was finally able to force the dwarves to sign a peace agreement. It is definitely the top predator on this continent.
"Everyone disperse, this is not a battle that you can participate in." Lann didn't look back, "You too, Kolgrim, please stay a little further away and help me take care of everyone." The
snake sect demon hunter opened his mouth , but ultimately couldn’t say anything.
If it was a planned dragon slaying, Kolgrim could come up with at least ten poisons that are effective on the dragon and more than twenty ways to poison the dragon. But when facing a giant dragon of this size head-on, it is really not something that a conventional Snake School demon hunter like him can deal with.
The claws of this red dragon can easily penetrate his [Quen's Seal] and his body under his leather armor, while the dragon's flames can easily cover everything ten meters around him when he dodges, let alone escape. ——How can two legs travel faster than two wings?
At this moment, there weren't so many fellow witchers watching over each other, so he couldn't help much, and he might even be dragging Lan down. With this thought, Kolgrim could only look at the direction of the red dragon unwillingly, and then pulled Milva away.
"Run away, trust Lann, don't let him be distracted!" The snake-sect demon hunter turned back and shouted at the Cintra and the dwarves.
"And you! If you can't help, don't cause trouble, just stay away!" This shout was directed at the dwarf Scoia'tael.
These guys who infiltrated Mahakam actually ran away as soon as the red dragon's attention was attracted by Lan, faster than the snow rabbit, which meant that Kolgrim didn't notice.
At this moment, they shot back at Kolgrim without showing any signs of weakness: "That's Kelturis, she will teach you humans how to respect Mahakam!" "
Also, leave your companions and face the monster alone. , Human beings are indeed human beings, even if they become demon hunters!"
...
In fact, not to mention Kolgrim, even Lann could clearly feel that he was at a disadvantage when he just faced the red dragon. . The freezing wind generated by his seal is still in the category of "natural wind", but the high temperature generated by the dragon flame has already surpassed all flames in the world.
If we really compare it, the dragon flame of this red dragon is equivalent to the level of Jielong's seal, which is a level that can burn rocks into magma.
The low temperature attached to [Biting] was not enough to withstand the heat of the dragon flames. Lann had just used his huge magic power to suppress it. But if the stalemate continues like this, the red dragon that uses fire breathing as its natural ability may really be able to defeat Lan in a tug-of-war.
Lann was even ready to let everyone escape and stalled for time. Fortunately, the explosion came in time.
This is a short-term evaluation of Lan En's strength. Although Lan En's strength is now rushing towards "outrageous", when facing this world's top creature, it is still limited to the level of a few moves head-on. If so, you still have to avoid the edge for the time being.
Fortunately, Lann's true strength is not limited to himself.
At this moment, he narrowed his eyes slightly while confronting the giant dragon, and on the other hand, he was focusing on two things. Make sure that a [teleportation] marker far away in Skellige has traveled thousands of miles to the mainland, and let your magic power be enough to summon the opponent here to fight.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
With a "hurrah", a fierce storm swept towards Lann, and the snow flew into the sky again. The red dragon flapped its two wings to declare its air supremacy, and roared condescendingly towards the lion-eyed demon hunter again.
Lann's body burst out with a bright amber light, and he disappeared from the red dragon's sight in an instant. When the giant dragon raised his head as if feeling something, he saw a flash of golden light above his head, and a knight with his body almost folded into a big bow appeared above his head.
The rune sword shone with light. Kelturis, who had lived for thousands of years and had experienced a lot, naturally knew the name of the Sword of the Lake Lady, and he understood that this sword had the ability to hurt itself.
But what really made his pupils tremble was not the shining light on the sword, but the huge, dazzling light spot that appeared behind the knight, like the sun.
...
It seemed like a small iceberg appeared out of thin air.
The bright emerald light turned into flowing lights and dissipated little by little, which was quite romantic; the muscles displayed under the flowing light were as hard and clear as marble, with the color of ice.
But if this muscle were as big as a human, it would be a bit scary.
All the internal and external injuries on the body of the ice giant were repaired by Lann's system. It seemed that the druids had also used magic to clean it. The body displayed at this moment was like a sculpture made by a master. The best of mechanics and aesthetics.
And combined with the posture he made in mid-air by arching his whole body into a bridge, the action of raising his fists above his head and stretching as hard as he could, and the thunderous roar coming from his mouth, it is enough to add "aesthetics" in front of it. The word "violence".
In this situation, if the great poet Dandelion was present, he would definitely want to sing a song live; if Alice did not hesitate to show up, she would immediately start sketching the canvas and leaving a painting.
The red dragon Kelturis only had time to let out a short scream.
"This is..."
"Oh my god!!"
"Boom-bang!!!"
The punch hit Kelturis firmly on the forehead.
Korgrim, who was far away from the battlefield, only heard a sound like a landslide behind him, and then there was a real movement like a landslide under his feet, and the rock wall around him really started to fall like a landslide, and gravel and ice began to fall down. .
He was all too familiar with the roar behind him.
"Run! Keep running!" Kolgrim hurriedly kicked him and turned back out of curiosity about the movement behind him. He stood there blankly and forgot about the running dwarf young man.
"This battle has nothing to do with us anymore. Run as fast as you can, run!"
...
In the ice dust, the ice giant slowly stood up. At the beginning of spring, Mahakam suddenly had another storm on the plains. The snow seemed to have found a home and surrounded the ice giant, following his movements.
"Bang bang bang" steps forward, every step is like an earthquake. The hammer that fell from the sky before was able to destroy even a castle, let alone the flesh and blood of the red dragon Kelturis.
At this moment, the overlord who had been ravaging the Mahakam Mountains for hundreds of years was embedded in the ice with embarrassment. His claws were twitching, his tail was crooked, and his neck was drooping. He passed out without any trace of the majesty of an apex predator. .
But this was not enough. The ice giant's violent nature was not satisfied with this small victory. He strode forward and directly pressed Kelturis' neck with one hand. The other hand clenched into a fist as big as a battering ram and raised it high above the head, and then -
"Boom"
"Boom"
"Boom"!
Every blow would cause a few more cracks to extend out of the ice centered on Kelturis; every blow would wake up Kelturis from the pain, and then pass out with the next punch.
The brick-red scales continued to crack, the horny bone spurs like a crown broke and pierced into the flesh, and precious dragon blood was splashed everywhere as if it was free.
"Oh my god!"
After a few punches, the ice giant became even more excited. There are dragons on Skellige, but there are no dragons that are this big and feel so good to beat.
The wild and untamed ice giant was also a little over the top at this moment. He pulled the red dragon out of the ice, held the upper jaw and chin of the red dragon with both hands and tore it hard on both sides, facing the bloody mouth. It roared as if celebrating.
"Oh my God!!!"
However, the next second, a fire suddenly illuminated the face of the ice giant. Rolling flames are brewing in the red dragon's throat, like a volcano that is about to erupt.
Kelturis is playing dead! The IQ of the red dragon is countless times higher than that of the ice giant. They can rule the world like a king, and they can also endure humiliation and wait for opportunities to launch sneak attacks.
After being hit hard on the head and losing the initiative, Kelturis had been waiting for an opportunity. The ice giant has a powerful body, but its defense is not as hard as the dragon's scales, especially when faced with attacks such as fire.
Fortunately, the ice giant did not fight alone.
With a flash of golden light, Lann appeared directly on the ice giant's shoulder, sealed it with his left hand, and stuffed almost his entire forearm into the red dragon's mouth.
Then, violent freezing wind burst out.
[Alder's Seal·Bearing·Magic Explosion]!
With a "boom", a huge explosion occurred again, and little sparks fell on the ice giant's beard and waistcoat, igniting them. Fortunately, the red dragon has been seriously injured, and the dragon flames are still brewing. Otherwise, Lann's seal would never be able to block the opponent's sneak attack so strongly, and the ice giant would definitely capsize in the gutter.
Using the seal to help the panicked Hanbing extinguish the flames on his body, Lann kicked the opponent's head hard in anger.
"Where is your Druid magic long stick? Bring out the momentum and tactics you used when you fought against us! Why did you become weaker after being contracted by me?!" "You have absorbed a natural magic
source. With mana and wisdom, you have to use your brain to fight, do you understand?"
The place where Lan was kicked didn't hurt at all. The ice giant wanted to scratch his head in embarrassment, but he was worried that the big move would knock Lan from his shoulder. Throwing it up, he could only stiffen his upper body in a dilemma, then straighten his left arm and point in one direction.
"Oh my god..."
The voice was quite aggrieved. Lann looked in the direction pointed by the other party, and saw that the red dragon actually flapped its wings and flew away, spraying blood all the way and swaying away.
"My God?"
Lan En estimated the distance between himself and the red dragon. After thinking about it, he sighed: "Forget it, let it go." The
red dragon is not a dragon lizard. After flying into the sky, Lan En has no confidence. Knock the opponent down, even if he is seriously injured.
"Besides, the red dragon is an intelligent creature. We may not be able to negotiate with the other party later. Killing them directly is not the best solution." Lann shook his head, "Let's go and see Kolgrim and the others." ...Whether it
's
Fei The young dwarves of the Lenz clan and the Scoia'tael dwarves all hid behind the rocks like quails after hearing the earthquake-like rumble.
While they kept praying in their hearts, they also screamed in confusion: When did a monster of this level appear in Mahakam again?
On the other hand, people on the Cintra side showed expressions of surprise after feeling the shock, and came out in surprise to welcome their Duke's triumphant return.
"Your Majesty the Duke!"
With a flash of golden light, Lan appeared in front of the attendants and cavalry, accepting the greetings from his subordinates. After nodding, Kolgrim and Lan turned their sights towards the ice giant. Looking at the tower-like figure of this ten-meter-tall monster standing in the cold wind, they couldn't help but sigh: "It feels like this monster has become a comrade
... That's great!"
"Come out." Looking at the trembling figures behind the rocks, Lan couldn't help but shook his head, "I am their leader, the Ferenzi clan who just arrived not long ago, this time I accept your parents. Requesting to take you home."
"They have been waiting for you at the edge of the 'Witch's Lair' for five days, and you are eager to see them every day. No matter what your next choice is, you have to go back and take a look at them, right? - I I thought that you who have experienced hardships in the outside society would cherish this truth."
After hearing this, the young people of the Ferenzi clan could no longer hide and carefully walked out of their hiding places. They tried their best to find an open space far away from the ice giant, and then bowed deeply towards Lann - it could be seen that it was a courtesy learned from human society.
"My lord, thank you for saving us from Kelturis!" A bolder dwarf young man shouted to Lann, "Let's go home immediately!"
Lann nodded with satisfaction.
Then he turned his gaze and looked at the Scoia'tael.
The young men of the Ferenc clan have come out, so naturally the Scoia'tael can no longer hide alone. Unlike the grateful Ferenc young man, they all stood awkwardly on the spot, neither running nor approaching to talk.
"As for you..." Lan thought for a moment and turned back to ask Kolgrim, "When you had a dispute before, did you use swords?" "No
, absolutely not!" The leader of the Scoia'tael could no longer remain silent. , hurriedly waved his hands, "We have never..."
Lann interrupted the other party lightly: "Did I ask you?"
The voice was not high, but it was like a cold wind that made the leader of the Scoia'tael freeze up and said no more. Speak up.
Kolgrim had completely relaxed. He leaned directly on the ice giant's calf and said with a chuckle: "We did not use swords. After all, even the Scoia'tael have a trial process in Mahakam. Killing them will It's very troublesome."
Especially when there are young people from the Ferenc clan as witnesses, we can't silence these young dwarves.
"As for them..." Kolgrim smiled playfully.
However, before he could speak under the nervous eyes of the Scoia'tael, the young man from the Ferenz clan suddenly pointed at a black spot in the sky and shouted.
"Is that Kelturis?"
The red dragon had already flown far away, but it was very high. Especially since it breathed a mouthful of fire in the sky for no apparent reason, it was very eye-catching even from a distance.
At this time, it had begun to descend slowly, and it seemed that it had reached its destination.
The young men of the Ferenc clan began to look horrified:
"That's not the red dragon's lair at all, that's our town! Kelturis is going to land in the 'Witch's Lair'!" After the words fell, the
figure of the giant dragon in the distance was covered by the mountain peak. The young Ferenzi dwarves began to cry anxiously.
