Shadow Covenant

Chapter 239 Chapter 238 "Facing"

At this time, outside the tunnel, Woody, who was walking around the outer wall of the tunnel normally, had already noticed the movement in the pit, and knew that the black dragon had moved, but he didn't rush to make everyone take a defensive posture, but just slightly Made a silent gesture.

Because Woody was standing at the front of the team, his gesture immediately informed everyone, including the bronze dragon Donnie who was scratching his head to inform Woody that the black dragon was coming, and according to the shape of the gesture, everyone already knew What should I do.

Without changing his face, he moved forward calmly.

Although it is not clear why Woody understands the nature of the dragon so well, but out of trust, Cecil and others did a good job, so that the rumbling sound was endless after they reached the back, and they did not look back at the pothole, as if the black dragon There is no general at all.

After the potholes, there are continuous ups and downs and winding hillsides. It’s hard to imagine the feeling of climbing a mountain underground. Fortunately, there are luminous spars and moss lichens on the top and bottom, illuminating the path of everyone’s progress, but this is even more daunting. Darkness, after all, no one knows where the black dragon is hiding and staring at them.

"Is he so sure it won't attack us?"

The Spirit of Nature looked at Woody who was walking calmly at the front, and didn't know for a moment whether he should be thankful or disappointed, but his whisper was just heard by Kafferman who was catching up. The old ranger, despite his old body, still acts naturally in the complex underground environment. He just came back as a scout to detect the rear, and he heard the words of the spirit of nature. Maybe he was also born in the Golden River Valley, and he is a local. The premise.

The ranger didn't mind telling him a fact, but it didn't prevent him from asking a question before telling him.

"Do you know what the greatest hunter in the woods is afraid of?"

Kafferman's sudden question made the spirit of nature a little unprepared. After all, Woody did not stipulate that he could not chat while walking, so he thought for a while and reported a forest creature that the local residents of the Golden River Valley were most afraid of.

"Wyvern?"

Although they are only a subspecies of dragons, their reproductive ability and destructive power far exceed those of some intelligent colored dragons. The former all act on the instinct of wild beasts, while the latter at least know how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and will not take all the recipes in a region at once. It was completely eaten, which is why in the reward offered by the Adventurer's Union, the appearance of the real evil dragon is a legend, and the following dragons are only related to dragon subspecies and those close relatives.

And this middle-level chronology does not mean that the color dragons have declined in Asenland, but their way of survival.

If the young dragon thought of enslaving humans and attacking the kingdom, it would be the same as walking to the temple of the Platinum Dragon God and committing suicide. The latter could still win the title of Fearless, while the former would only be stupid and unable to see clearly The arrogance of strength.

However, this kind of arrogance is gradually replaced by prudence and prudence in the change of bloodlines from generation to generation. After all, a giant dragon without these two qualities will not survive youth, and pass on the bloodline inherited from the previous generation to the new generation. dragon.

Hearing the name Wyvern, Kaverman just shook his head.

"what is that?"

After passing a gentle slope with a slight height, the spirit of nature calmed down his chaotic breath and asked.

"A seasoned hunter will not be afraid of anything, because he is mentally prepared for what ordinary people are afraid of before hunting."

Kafferman said slowly, but he didn't look at the spirit of nature, but looked into the distance, which was Woody's direction, and his words meant something.

The spirit of nature can naturally understand the implication of the old ranger in front of him. Simply put, it means that others know it well, so don't worry about it.

But if he really wanted to worry about it, if it wasn't for the fog, he wouldn't come back here anyway.

Of course, that's only part of the reason. If it wasn't for Cecil, he wouldn't be so eager to lift the fog. He has a natural favorability bonus for all girls with spellcaster attributes. After all, to some extent , he can see the shadow of the former master.

"It's here."

Passing through the undulating hills and going up and down dozens of times in a row, even though Woody was performing a slightly strenuous exercise under the tension of his nerves, his eyes revealed a little tiredness.

"Do you really want to stay alone?"

Cecil looked at Woody, and the worry in her eyes was naturally revealed. Although she had the guarantee of the potion and the planned arrangement on the way, she never believed that Woody could fight an adult black dragon alone. , that was the period when only legends dared to do it.

And as before, the adult black dragon did not eat and sleep like ordinary fellows, and was busy collecting treasures and counting treasures all day long, but with great ambitions, striving to enhance its own strength, and becoming an adult in adulthood. After completing the advancement of several professions, it may be a little difficult for ordinary legendary professions to meet them.

After all, the dragon's skin is rough and thick, and it is famous for its blood and high defense. Even if it is inserted into the heart, the powerful blood vessels in the dragon's body will temporarily replace the function of the heart, continuously consuming energy to breed Fresh blood won't die for a while, so if you want to really kill the dragon, it's quite difficult if you want to take advantage of it.

If you are unlucky and encounter the famous mentally ill dragon among the dragons, who has a penchant for magic, then I am afraid that a legendary team will challenge this dragon who is dedicated to learning and keen on collecting spells more than treasures.

"Of course, we wouldn't be able to go without that."

Woody answered honestly, without hiding anything, his voice was not loud, but enough to echo in the cave.

"It will follow us all the time, and then wait until it relaxes a little, then jump out suddenly, give us a breath or grab people and run, this is its tactic, and we have no way to deal with it, the only way All you can do is face it!"

What Woody said was impassioned, and the expression on his face was also a heroic sacrifice. If I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell will go to hell.

Cecil was stunned for a while, but as a mage, she instantly understood the purpose of Woody's words, that is, besides telling everyone, that is to say to the black dragon who likes to follow idiots .

Seeing Woody's desperation, she almost forgot how he told everyone in the corridor before how serious and cautious he was to lure the black dragon.

The acting is really good.

She suppressed a smile, with a slightly distorted look of sadness on her face, and deliberately stepped forward to hug Woody and patted his hard and straight back, as if the leader of the team comforted her subordinates The appearance after breaking up, the appearance of reluctantly saying goodbye after letting go, and just saying, don't worry, I will take care of your wife and children.

After the episode, Woody was really the only one left, watching their leaving backs, until they gradually disappeared at the end of the curve of the path, and then looked back at the small hills that shone brightly and dimly under the moss spar. asked with a calm face.

"Have you seen enough?"

The sound was powerful enough, and because of the cavity, the echo was melodious, and it could be heard clearly even hundreds of meters away. The echo kept echoing in the dark cave, but there was no response for a long time, but just after Woody turned around, At that moment, somewhere in the darkness tens of meters away behind him, jaundice-colored vertical pupils emitting a faint light suddenly lit up, and the vertical pupils were full of cruelty and hunger.

In the next moment, a particularly fierce gust of wind suddenly sounded, and the pitch-black dragon claws, which had always been skinny but could not hide their sharp claws, suddenly appeared.

Appearing with it is its owner, a huge black dragon about 50 feet from the tip of its nose to the tip of its tail. This size is not considered thin and small among adult dragons, and it even has a slight aftertaste. It is not the kind that has just grown up. Of course, From the mottled spots on the scales and the light emitting a matte color, it can also be analyzed that this giant dragon has obviously stayed at this stage of adulthood for no less than 30 years. After all, giant dragons change scales and teeth at every age stage According to the habit of the dragon, experienced dragon slayers can basically infer the approximate age of the giant dragon from the lines on the scales and claws.

Of course, some scheming green dragons will deliberately polish their scales, and then use the dragon shrinking technique on themselves to reduce their size, so that the dragon slayers think it is a juvenile dragon that just came out of the nest, so as to Come and bait those ridiculous dragon slayers.

And when those dragon slayers bring a dragon nose noose that is one size smaller, and dragon slaying wing clips carefully prepared for their body size, they will find that what is waiting for them in the forest cave is not a fledgling young green dragon, but a green dragon. When an adult green dragon has begun to move towards adulthood.

Then their results are naturally self-evident, so that in the end, the deception of the green dragon is no longer effective. Many dragon slayers have clearly stated that they will not accept orders from the green dragon, unless they do well, it may be the green dragon. Be prepared to set a trap.

Facing the flying black dragon who was thinking of rushing forward and grabbing its claws, Woody naturally couldn't stand and fight with it in a power contest between man and dragon. Although the strength of an adult black dragon is not as high as that of a red dragon, it is still enough to beat a This is a power up to 25 points, which meets the basic requirements of legendary strength. Although Woody now has a lot of strength added by Cecil, his strength can only reach 21 points, even if he drinks The dragon's blood secret medicine can only reach 23 points, not to mention that a body weighing tens of tons is enough to crush an opponent even with the same strength.

This is the horror of the dragon.

He just rolled around like a lazy donkey, dodging the claws of the giant dragon while dodging the tail attack of the giant dragon. Of course, this is not over. The next moment, he saw This skinny, pitch-black giant dragon whose ribs could be seen on its chest, raised its slender neck high, took a deep breath, and its abdomen bulged slightly. In less than two seconds, as its wings stretched, the black dragon suddenly stopped and turned its head, opening its mouth. , A linear breath with deadly strong acid, strong smell of rotting vegetation and sewage, directly spewed towards Woody's position at a speed of 50 meters per second.

This range has a splash effect. Even if you avoid it immediately, the subsequent damage will be extremely terrible. Woody has already paid attention to the position of the cover object during the rollover process, so he directly bends his legs slightly and pushes his whole body forward As soon as he leaned against the boulder, the strong acid breath that was supposed to hit him was avoided, but there were still a few drops of saliva-like liquid hanging on his body. Fortunately, he was already fully armed, and even his hands and face were covered. The white wolf mask and the iron gauntlet were tightly covered, so only shallow pits were burned.

"A very flexible human being."

"It seems that this is not the first time you have faced a dragon!"

"Now you are entitled to tell me your name, brave mortal! Your bones will be one of the cornerstones of my lair."

Seeing that Woody had escaped the black dragon Beast, who had killed three times in a row, he praised in a hoarse voice with a little briskness.

"Don't talk big, talk to my bones after you kill me."

Woody replied disdainfully, he knew that the black dragon was stalling for time to wait for the breath to recover, but he was the same, the digestion of the potion took time.

He has already taken the secret medicine of dragon blood. The pungent dragon blood is mixed with viscous liquid. It is scalding as if drinking hot water of [-] or [-] degrees. When it reaches the stomach, it is like eating an abnormally spicy soup. Normally, it would directly turn Woody's internal organs upside down, but he had already been mentally prepared. He had resisted the herbal medicine trial which was more difficult to accept than this for a day and two nights.

At this time, there was a sound of rustling in the darkness, and at the same time, there was a slightly arrogant posture of the giant dragon.

"How about that, first let you meet old friends who you will often see after you meet."

"Come on! My children!"

After the black dragon finished speaking, in the endless darkness, dozens of pairs of ghostly cold soul fires suddenly emanated. When they walked out of the darkness, the poignant luster reflected by the pale bones under the light proved that they Shape.

Undead creatures.

Skeleton Snakes.

Woody secretly thought that the reason for the skeleton snake group in the previous life was because of the black dragon in front of him, so why did it disappear at that time?
But time has not allowed Woody to think too much. His body has begun to change. He feels that half of his body under the leather armor is about to explode. In order to prevent the clothes from being damaged, Woody quickly replaced the shark lizard leather armor. And other equipment, put them in the dimension ring, and after bringing these, the position of the skeleton snake group has reached the position less than ten meters away from Woody, and at the same time, there was a strong wind from the sky.

The black dragon moved.

But at this time, Woody's golden eyes were shining brightly in the dark night, and the black lacquered eyes contracted strangely and then spread toward the upper and lower ends, becoming vertical pupils half as black as the black dragon, and his body already had bluish-yellow eyes. The scales are looming on the surface, and in the gaps between the scales, there is a faint hiss of thunder.
