Shadow Covenant

A violent wind blows from the other end of the corridor, making a tooth-piercing whistling sound on the ramps one after another.

Woody didn't even need to look back, the air was already filled with the unique smell of the black dragon that seemed to have fermented in the garbage dump for weeks, foul and unpleasant.

But it's normal. After all, black dragons are different from other giant dragons. Red dragons only need to eat them while they are still warm in their stomachs. Self-proclaimed gourmet black dragons prefer to soak their prey in the acid pool of their lair for a few minutes. For a week, wait for complete fermentation before tasting.

After many dragon slayers successfully knocked down the black dragon, in addition to searching for the treasure house of the lair, the acid pool is also a treasure location that must not be skimmed. After all, many items such as magical objects will naturally fall off due to the corrosion of clothes.

Well, it was also included in the dragon slaying essentials specially compiled by players, but then again, with his current level, if he faced the black dragon behind him head-on, he had a few percent chance of winning, plus the previous arrangement.

Low, no doubt, and the stakes are high.

Although this black dragon is not the most troublesome kind of law addict, judging from the behavior just now, it is definitely a part-time job similar to a wanderer, otherwise, even if it is completely dark, it wants to sneak out without his vision and perception Behind him, it's still hard to come by, and the stealth is estimated to have more than 200 points.

And his current highest sword skill is only 96 points, comparing the two, the gap is huge.

Not to mention that the personal level of the black dragon in front of him is definitely above 15, the challenge level may reach 13 or even 14, and his personal level is barely 6. If he is now at level [-] and advanced to Calamity Blade, maybe he can still You can try to defeat it head-on with skills, but even if he has a whole body of combat experience now, he can't hold back his own attack. If the black dragon stands still and asks him to strike three times, he may not be able to break through the defense.

Not to mention that the black dragon in front of him is completely different from ordinary black dragons.

Otherwise, it would not appear in this temple. Normal adult black dragons are generally preparing to build a nest, and the most basic environment for nesting is that there are a large number of servants who can be driven around, whether it is a lizardman or a marsh. Frogmen are intended guards and food collectors for the black dragon's lair.

And ordinary adult black dragons are definitely not so witty. It's not that Woody has never slaughtered dragons. Maybe he didn't kill enough dragons when he was a demon hunter. , to earn enough money for legendary weapons, the easiest thing is to slay dragons, but most of the dragons he has killed are not as difficult as the black dragon in front of him. For the first time in this world, the deformed monster of the corrupt mother tree is only huge in size, but has a single attack method and loses its mind.

Will it really be fooled?
call.

Woody let out a breath, suppressing the wavering in his heart forcibly, and now he has come to this point.

Now even if the blood of the dragon vein in his body is boiling in his body, he can clearly understand it.

Anyway, just give it a try.

While adapting to the huge improvement brought about by his body transformed into a dragon vein, Woody paid attention to the obstacles in front of him while running. This place was up and down at the beginning, and it was quite time-consuming for him to walk on foot. After all, from uphill to It may take less than a second for the flying dragon to go downhill, so it will be caught up sooner or later.

But Woody wanted it to catch up, but not here.

Fortunately, the location he chose was not far from the location where he and the black dragon met just now, so there was still a time difference. Before the black dragon caught up, he came to this cave with two walls. With the appearance of stalactite groups, the space suddenly changed. Be narrow.

The basement of the temple is said to be a basement, but it is actually a simple repaired underground cave. Except for the slight decoration at the beginning, the other locations are all original, just like here, showing the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.

Thousands of stalactites are like inverted mountains, majestic and majestic on the dome of the huge cave.

It's narrow here, but for dragons.

There is still room for a normal human body to pass here, but the giant dragon is a bit reluctant. The lowest position even requires the dragon to fly close to the ground less than two meters away. This seems not low, but it is enough for the black dragon just now. In terms of the Thomas maneuvering and 720-degree backflip terrain, this place is very cramped, and the roots of the stalactite group are vertical like sharp swords, and it is possible to hit them if you are not careful.

Running here, Woody deliberately slowed down. This is the first location he deliberately chose, simple and effective.

First limit the flying ability of the black dragon, otherwise, even if he has the levitation scroll given to him by Cecil, in terms of air combat, he is far from being an opponent of creatures like giant dragons. They are natural masters of air combat, The mastery of flying skills is like the magic power flowing in the blood, innate.

Sure enough, as soon as his speed slowed down, the sound of wind engulfed by the giant dragon resounded impressively among the heavy stone forests.

The black dragon is coming. It glides obliquely like a hunting eagle in an extremely ferocious posture. The weight of its body cooperates with the propulsion of its wings, and its speed far exceeds the constant 10 points of agility marked on the illustration book. After all, eruption and persistence cannot be generalized, not to mention that the giant dragon seldom flies for a day normally, and the speed of eruption is not much slower than that of ordinary falcons known for their speed.

And what came before the black dragon was its strong acid breath. The linear attack almost turned it into a moving faucet, and large streams of acidic liquid rushed towards his position like splashed ink. As long as you give it enough time to breathe, you can even breathe out seven or eight times a day without any trouble. After all, the breath itself is transformed into energy from the throat through the transformation of the magic power flowing in the body. It is a renewable resource. .

This level of breath is not difficult to dodge, but when Woody saw the cunning in the dragon's eyes, he knew that the time was not so simple. A transformation, heading directly towards the stalactite group above Woody's head.

The black dragon's strong acid breath can corrode a hole in a steel plate several feet thick, not to mention that this breath with full firepower can almost drain the last drop of acid energy in the body.

Under the strong acid dragon's breath, even though these stalactites are the product of millions of years of accumulation, they are not solid, and they have become crumbling under the corrosion of acid liquid.
Not to mention that the many stalactites in the stone forest were not only strongly acid, but also suffered the impact of breath in an instant, and the weak points had already begun to shake.

Soon, when a stone the size of a fist fell to the ground like the first raindrops on a cloudy day, the torrential rain came.

Carrying strong acid, countless corroded gravels fell to the ground like dense raindrops, and the sound echoed in the cave, like thunder.

Of course, the playful laughter of the black dragon Beast was indispensable. After watching Woody fall into the area of ​​gravel and strong acid, his face showed a touch of arrogance belonging to a dragon.

"If you want to force me to come down and fight with you here, then I will act first!"

"I have already seen through your actions, otherwise, I would have caught up with you long ago."

It is also very familiar with the terrain here. When it saw Woody deliberately stop at that position, it knew that he might have some ideas, such as using the falling stalactites to break his neck, just like the "Kinslayer" once. Just like the brass dragon killed his own mother, the boulder falling from the top of the canyon directly broke its neck. The body that the dragon is proud of seems so insignificant in front of the boulder heavier than its weight.

Speaking of Kinslayer, it had seen that guy once in the Evil Phosphorus Fortress. At that time, its eyes had no pity for the brass dragon brethren wailing on the city wall, but it was quite interested in the statue of the Dragon Queen.

At that time, the first impression it gave to Beast was that it was another male dragon who wanted to become a paternal servant and jumped to become the dragon above ten thousand dragons.

The only difference is that it is a metal dragon, but it is not uncommon for a metal dragon to become Tiamat's servant in these years. The Queen's attention, just like it was because of the scene of killing its mother that the Dragon Queen noticed it.

Otherwise, there is nothing to pay attention to such chatterboxes like brass dragons. Although they move in the same area as blue dragons, they basically won't conflict with blue dragons. Running as soon as they see them is a basic operation. Just like when their black dragon saw the green dragon who came to snatch the lair, most of the choices were to run away, and this kind of adult brass dragon who dared to challenge his mother for wealth and personally killed an adult brass dragon two grades higher than it was rare.

Thinking of this, it can't help but think of that guy, it seems to have come to this plane with it, under the guidance of the Dragon Queen, but the task is different, it is responsible for coming to this hidden temple to collect breath, and its task is although It didn't tell itself, but it guessed that it should be related to the metal dragon camp, and it didn't know what step it had made. After this operation was over, should we communicate with it first.

To be honest, Beast is still a little nervous now. He obviously didn’t go anywhere these days, and he specifically told Ke Suo, the priest of this temple, not to let anyone come to this basement. It has been safe and sound all the time, but I didn't expect that it would come out like this when it was about to end.

Watching the falling rocks continue to hit the area where the human was, Beast felt a little anxious, so when the effect of the strong acid finally evaporated, it couldn't wait to go forward to dig, and its supernatural perception could no longer detect it. That human's abominable aura, he should be dead, after all, dozens of tons of stones that weigh as much as rain, it may not feel good, let alone a human who has not fully transformed into a dragon vein in front of him.

The stalactites forcibly smashed out a stone wall across the center of the passage. The undulating gravel is a bit like a pyramid shape. After the black dragon fell, it went directly to the position before the human breath disappeared. The hard and heavy stones were as high as 25 points for it. In terms of strength, it is no more difficult than tearing down a city wall, let alone without anyone disturbing.

The huge stones with uneven strong acid corrosion marks on them were turned over, and the broken stones underneath were also cleaned up one by one by the dragon claws, but what Beast couldn't accept was that there was no trace of any corpse, not even a drop of blood. None left.

Damn!

Where did it go!
Beast carefully recalled the previous episode that stayed in his mind. The position of its spit was quite tricky, just stuck in the area where the rock wall of the cave overlapped with the slightly curved and protruding wall, so the human would be buried alive as long as he walked backwards. If you rush forward, it will be exposed under its wings. At that time, as long as it falls directly, it can basically stop this slippery mouse, and the situation at that time will completely enter its rhythm. You know This time, except for itself, it mobilized almost all the skeleton snakes it could use, including the big guy who had been lying in the lair as a collectible.

Unwillingly, it continued to pluck at the stones in other areas, and found that it didn't smell the bloody smell it should have. Even though it was the strong acid smell that made it quite comfortable, it still made it feel resentful.

"There must be something wrong!"

"He used spells to avoid my detection?"

"But if you're not mistaken, he's just a warrior. Could it be that he's a sword mage? But isn't that an elf?"

Just as the black dragon was trying to squeeze out the dragon's inheritance in its mind to explain how to describe the current situation, it was acutely aware of a slight uplift in a stone pile in the southeast, as if something was struggling.

Beast was overjoyed immediately. The location there was a dead angle between the walls. It is possible that the huge boulder just hit there when it collapsed, forming a natural shelter. It seems that the human being is quite smart, but it is already gone. Being a turtle in an urn, the black dragon sneered, it had already planned to howl slowly on the acid pool after it caught him.

It stepped forward quickly, and directly used its huge dragon claws to easily pull away the boulder on the top floor, and as it fiddled, the movement inside was also reflected on the boulder on the surface, which was a vibration.

And that familiar aura reappeared.

It's him!

That human!

Sure enough, he was still struggling.

There was a hint of surprise in Beast's eyes, the existence of a person means that it is still under its control.

However, when it peeled away the bottom layer of boulders, the originally jaundice-colored vertical pupils were locked suddenly, and the vertical pupils were like an earthquake, and instantly became like needlepoints.

The picture in front of me is not the imagined human body, but a giant metal snake wearing a human leather armor that does not fit its body. It is writhing constantly, trying to break free from the cage that traps it. .

It was the constructed creature that Verando gave Woody when they parted in Palermo earlier.

——"Steel King Snake."

At this moment, Woody, who turned into a human-shaped tyrannosaur and was tightly wrapped in scales, descended from the sky, holding the slender curved sword in one hand, and rushed towards the black dragon's thin neck like a flying kite.

——"Swordsmanship - beheading!"
