Chapter 12 Blocking
The horned dragon with two huge curved horns on its head stomped on its feet and charged straight down with an attitude of crushing everything.

"Help, meow!"

"I don't want to die yet, meow!"

"Everyone works hard, meow! You will definitely get out of trouble!"

Dozens of Merlu cats were speeding along the cart, their paws leaving afterimages on the ramp.

Soon, the horned dragon's attack route gradually deviated from the cat cart in front.

In other words, its target was never the cats of the Melu Cat Tribe from the beginning.

"It's really a ceratopsian, but this one is bigger than expected. Let's record the sighting report."

After Wood finished speaking, his steps suddenly accelerated.

Ah Ju quickly took out a notepad and quill, and while running upright with two paws, recorded the detailed status of the ceratopsian.

The sudden increase in speed caused Li Ming, who was following him, to feel the pressure.

However, Wood's attack direction was not far away from the ceratopsian.

He is an experienced two-star hunter. The choice he makes in this situation will definitely be more professional than mine.
Thinking of this, Li Ming felt slightly relieved.

Not long after, Lindsay Yuvasiu, who was fighting the Sand Dragon outside the swamp, appeared in the field of vision.

At this time, if you look at the path of the horned dragon, you can see that it is obviously heading towards the sand dragon.

"Well, it turns out we're not retreating."

Li Ming immediately discovered the problem.

"Stay hidden here, Li Ming. Although the horned dragon has very keen hearing, the nearby area is so noisy. As long as you don't make too much noise, it won't notice you."

Wood said, taking off the shield ax from his back and using a hunter's knife to cut the knots tied to the tarp.

"how about you?"

Li Ming asked puzzledly.

"It seems like the Earth Sand Dragon can't hold on any longer. I'm going to block the Horned Dragon and cover them. I hope I can finish the hunt first."

Wood informed.

Block the ceratopsian?

Li Ming grasped the key point and his eyes twitched.

"I haven't been this excited for a while."

Wood smiled and sighed, using the blade to pick apart the last knot.

The unfixed yellow tarp unfolded and slid to the sand.

A bone shield ax with symmetrical sharp corners on the shield surface and a wild and rough shape was revealed.

Different from the curved blade of the Skeleton Shield Axe, this shield has a circle of sharp dark yellow bone spurs embedded in the shield blade.

On the cylindrical energy-storing sword, there is no sharp blade that can be easily cut. It is more like a blunt instrument that causes damage by lifting and smashing.

"Is this a horned dragon shield axe?"

Li Ming asked unsurely.

"Yes, meow, the more accurate name is Ceratops Armed Forces."

Ah Ju informed.

"On my own, I'm not sure how long I can hold it off, but this is a rare opportunity Li Ming. If you look carefully, you may be able to learn a lot. Let's go, Ah Ju."

"Okay, meow! That's right! Please keep the sighting report for me. If anything unexpected happens, please submit the information about this ceratopsian to the field investigators or the guild branch."

The confused Li Ming took the record book, and before he could say anything else, one person and one cat were already running away at a fast pace.

Therefore, he joined the team to protect Lindsay and Wasiu.
Forget it, I'd better lie down and hide first.

Li Ming, who was standing, realized that his target was too big, so he quickly fell down on the sand.

A man and a cat, who kept going away, rushed in from the side and came to the path where the ceratopsian was about to attack.

The contrast brought about by the disparity in body size between the two sides is increasing as the ceratopsian approaches.

bang~ bang~
As the terrifying sound of heavy footsteps approached, Li Ming noticed that the gravel on the ground was shifting slightly with slight tremors.

The intimidating shock brought by the approaching horned dragon was far beyond his previous expectations.

Is this kind of monster really something humans can defeat?
Wood was armed with a Helicator, proving that he had successfully hunted at least one on one occasion.

Thinking of this, Li Ming's nervous mood relaxed slightly.

Taking off the shield and ax that fit together on the back, Wood assumed a defensive posture.

The horned dragon stared ahead for a moment, when its two feet suddenly pressed into the sand and began to stop and slow down suddenly.

Li Ming felt that it was not because he felt that he had to stop because he was being hindered, but because the horned dragon shield ax used by Wood attracted the horned dragon's attention.

After lowering its head with huge curved horns and looking forward, the ceratopsian's whole body trembled slightly, and its soles rubbed anxiously against the sand.

Seeing his head swinging upward, Wood raised his shield and lowered his head at the same time.

This is about to roar.
Li Ming judged the next action of the horned dragon based on his past game accumulation.

To be on the safe side, he stretched out his hands and covered his ears tightly.

Ow! ! !
Circles of gray sound waves spread out from the horned dragon's mouth.

The burst of sand and dust is centered on it and flies back toward the surroundings.

Wherever the sound wave touches, it seems like a blur filter has been added, and countless black burrs stand up on the edge lines of the object.Buzz~
The sound that Li Ming could hear in his ears was quickly replaced by a buzzing sound that did not dissipate until the roar ended.

At this time, Wood, who was using his shield to resist the sonic impact, had gray and silver hair floating on his head, and his shaken body moved backwards.

The horned dragon's body turns sideways, its feet stand alternately, and its body's center of gravity shifts to the side.

Wood immediately released his defensive posture and slid close to the ground close to the soles of his feet.

Bang!
The body wrapped in huge wings launched a violent side collision.

In addition to the obvious momentum-building movement in this side collision, the power and speed can be said to be impeccable. However, due to the height of the horned dragon itself, it was unable to touch Wood who was sliding close to the ground.

Wood's way of advancing made Li Ming admire the opponent's courage even more.

Because even if he knew that he could slide through from below, he would never dare to try it easily.

"Courage is indeed an indispensable condition."

Li Ming immediately had a deeper understanding of this sentence.

The horned dragon's armed energy-charged sword swung backwards, its arm muscles bulging slightly as it charged up.

The golden and red light flashed rapidly on the pillar-shaped sword, and the energy-charged sword was slashed horizontally, making two horizontal slashes on the soles of the feet.

when!when!
Sparks flew and a plume of smoke emerged from the energy-charged sword.

After taking advantage of the situation and connecting with a turning horizontal slash, a dark red light lit up at the core of the exposed cylindrical sword body.

For attacks on its soles, the ceratopsian chose to move backwards, creating an opportunity for its huge body to launch an attack.

Wood stepped back at the same time, turned sideways and raised the shield behind him. At the same time, he lifted the charging sword and inserted it into the charging slot for docking.

click~
As the charging sword is inserted, the horned dragon's armed shield expands outwards. Inside the shield, five charging bottles are pressed against the interface of the charging sword.

The golden arc-shaped energy collected due to the vibration of the chop is quickly injected into the charging bottle.

呲~
A small amount of steam flow erupted outward from the shield, and the dark red flashing at the core of the columnar sword immediately faded.

After turning around to finish filling the bottle, Wood decisively pulled out the charged sword and returned to the sword and shield state.

At this time, the horned dragon lowered its head, spread its wings, straightened its feet, and charged forward.

Can this really be stopped?
Li Ming didn't dare to look any further.

But he quickly noticed that this time Wood did not assume a defensive posture in advance. Instead, he picked up the charged sword and struck the shield twice.

tie!tie!
The dull sound was full of provocation.

Boom!Boom!
With the sound of heavy tapping, Wood bent his knees slightly.

Facing the twisted and sharp angle that was coming towards him, he raised his shield and actively pushed forward to hit it.

Bang!
Sparks flew and a heavy muffled sound was heard.

Wood flew backwards and panned, but his body's defensive posture was still maintained.

Bang!The huge horn on the front came up and struck again, and the impact force was slightly slowed down.

Wood's left knee, which was propped back on the ground, fell to the ground, but as the force of the impact dissipated, he quickly propped it up again while adjusting his retreat.

At this time, the two soles of the horned dragon entered a gliding state, and its speed began to slow down.

Bang!
"It's my turn."

Wood said in a low voice.

With the help of the powerful impact carried by the shield, he stepped back and turned sideways.

click~
Charged sword inserted into shield.

slap~
Golden electric light spreads outward along the expanding shield surface.

Wood raised his axe-shaped horned dragon weapon and spun around.

When! When!
The Ceratopsaurus, which had just stopped after gliding, suffered two heavy blows to its head. The beating golden arcs continued to explode on the surface of its head shell, and dark yellow cortical debris peeled off one after another.

Senior Wood didn't lie. The shield ax is really powerful but its operation is a bit cumbersome.

Li Ming admired in his heart.

At this time, the horned dragon weapon was once again waved behind Wood.

click~
The shield that expanded outward at the top of the ax form suddenly became loose, and slid down along the slide rail of the charged sword to the ax handle.

Golden electric light erupted, and the sword and shield began to tremble slightly as they began to gain momentum.

puff!

As four streams of strong steam were discharged from the shield, Wood stepped forward and slashed vertically.

At this time, the shield, which has been charged up, slides towards the tip of the sword again with the help of inertia.

Ka~Boom!
The shield blade was in position before the slash fell, and the huge arc of light accumulated exploded.

The horned dragon suffered a severe blow and retreated with a low roar.

On the shore of the swamp not far away, the Earth Sand Dragon's footsteps sank, and its body hit the ground heavily.

Lindsay and Wasiu, who were panting heavily, could not hide the excitement on their faces.

"Senior Wood! It's over over there! OK, uh, we're already evacuating."

Li Ming didn't expect that without even a glance, Wood had already put away his shield and ax and started running away.
