Chapter 65 Strange Dragon
Pour in hot drinks, forcefully remove the medicine, and warm up the fire.
Despite a series of anti-cold treatment measures, Lone Fox's condition still did not improve.

"what should I do now?"

Li Ming touched his chin with his hand, a sad look on his face.

"Ahem. I'm hungry."

At this time, Guhu's speech pointed out the direction for the team.

After eating two pieces of bone-in barbecue, Lone Fox's pale face quickly returned to color.

"When I saw the smoke, I thought it was an illusion, but I didn't expect that I was so lucky."

Beside the stove, Lone Fox said happily.

"You have to go out in such a heavy snowstorm. Are you avoiding monsters?"

Li Ming speculated.

"Yes, there is a scary strange dragon in the cave below the investigator's stronghold. In addition to being a little noisy when hunting, it was not a threat to the safety of the stronghold. But recently it has been coming out of the cave to search the surrounding area. After exploring the stronghold, I I never had a good night's sleep. My dreams were all about being swallowed into the belly by following the strange dragon's throat. After that, whenever I notice traces of it, I will take the Elu and others out to do ecological surveys. I was able to work and avoid danger, but I didn’t expect the wind and snow to be so heavy today, and then I got separated and lost.”

The lonely fox told about his unfortunate experience.

"Don't worry, everything will pass soon."

Li Ming said, taking out the contract of [Repelling the Faceless Monster].

"This is the contract I issued!"

Lone Fox exclaimed.

"That's right, you didn't pay the reward, right?"

Li Ming felt that it was too miserable to stay in a high-risk area to monitor the ecology and have to spend his own money to save his life.

"No, as long as the reason for the contract issued by the investigator is legitimate and reasonable, the remuneration will basically be paid by the guild."

"Then let's talk about the local ecological situation."

Although the latest version of the map has detailed markings on the Frozen Islands.

But if you want to get first-hand information, you still have to find local field investigators.

"About a month ago, the Ice-toothed Dragon and a Black-Erosion Dragon that was parasitized by rodents had a fierce battle in the surrounding area. In the end, the Ice-Tooth Dragon was defeated and injured and escaped. The Black-Erosion Dragon quickly left, and the surrounding ecosystem was used for half of its life. It took a month to return to normal. A week ago, I found the footprints of the Snow Ghost Beast near the iceberg. Fortunately, the opponent's range of activities has always been fixed. For now, the outer areas of the Frozen Islands are still very safe. "

Lone Fox said as he kept making marks on the map.

"Thank you. This information will be very useful to the team."

"Please be careful, that strange dragon is really scary."

Lone Hu said worriedly.

"We are well prepared this time. Are the separated Elu okay?"

Li Ming asked.

"The Ellu who accompanied me is from a semi-wild tribe and has strong survival ability in the wild. There is no need to worry."

Lone Fox is very confident about this.

In the early morning, the sun was shining brightly, and the cats who got up early used various tools to clear the snow around the tent.

Lone Fox said that he would meet up with the Elu tribe first and then return to the stronghold.

After breakfast, the team went on the road with the Cat Rescue Team.

Because the goal was very clear, we arrived at the surrounding area in less than two hours.

Beyond the rock formations, a large open shoal came into view.

Several strings of light spots of different colors swam rapidly in the shallows.

This creature that swims in swarms underwater is called the Shiranui squid.

When encountering a threat, it will spray ink to assist itself in escaping.

Little did they know that this kind of ink had a strong beneficial effect on humans.

Therefore, when hunters hunt in the wild, they often take the initiative to touch the Shiranui squid to obtain various benefits.

Over time, the common habitats of the Shiranui Squid were recorded on the guild's map.

In the preparation stage for hunting, it soon became the consensus among hunters to collect ink from the Shiranui squid to stimulate their own abilities.

Stepping into the icy cold shallows of the water, Li Ming couldn't help but tremble.

Chuying also felt that the cold was unbearable, but the spongy texture of the water beast's armor had been filled with water last night and was frozen to the bone.

Otherwise, if you store water now, you will be at risk of being frozen into a popsicle.

As his body gradually adapted to the icy cold water, Li Ming equipped himself with the aquatic beast skills [Diving] and [Underwater Perception].

My head dived underwater and I observed the swimming path of the Shiranui squid.

Whoosh!Puff!

The shield fell into the water, hitting the bottom and becoming embedded in the sand.

when!when!when!
The yellow Shiranui squids traveling in a row collided with each other one after another.

The yellow ink, which was the same as the apparent color, was released in large quantities, forming a pool of yellow water stains that expanded outwards.

The two of them swam close to each other, drinking and smearing ink. Everyone thought that they seemed to have more energy.

I wanted to soak up all the colors of ink before hunting.

However, the Shiranui squid seemed to be frightened by the hunters, and the ink also had the function of warning its fellow squids. At this moment, all other squids in the shoal had disappeared.

Climbing onto the ice on the other side, you will see a cave inhabited by a strange dragon.

Li Ming dug soil and mud on the spot, and the [Silt Armor] needed to be dried in the sand plains.

In the Frozen Islands, the water-rich sludge is frozen hard at low temperatures, and the molding speed is extremely fast.

Next, Li Ming led his team and the cat rescue team to pray to the cat statue.

Bubu was not a wild Elu, and he was a little curious about whether he could receive the blessing. Li Ming affirmed that it was effective.

After all, everyone has effects, and Elu will definitely not be disliked by the Meow God.

Although Chu Ying didn't quite understand the purpose of doing this, she would not waste too much time by trying it.

After successfully obtaining [Meow God's Elf Protection (Super Large)], Li Ming felt that all preparations had been made, and the next step was to fight.

After sliding down the winding slope to the bottom, the team entered the cave glowing with blue light.

da~da~
Hu~hu~
In a quiet and empty cave, stepping on the ground and breathing can cause echoes.

It was strange that dragons had the habit of hanging from the ceiling of caves to hunt, so Li Ming and Midoduo were responsible for looking after the surroundings, while Chu Yingbubu focused on the top.

呲~呲~
Two heavy sniffing sounds sounded, and the team immediately stopped.

Li Ming speculated that the strange dragon was nearby, so he quickly unloaded the fog ball [supersensory hearing] and closed the fan-shaped collar.

Otherwise, if the other party roars loudly, you risk being deafened.

"there."

Chuying found the target, above her finger.

Behind the tapered stone pillars hanging downward, a "soft tube" shining with moist pearl color gradually straightened upside down as it swung.

click!click!
Directly below, a small shield crab was clawing at the ice with its pincers, seemingly looking for something to eat.

Completely unaware of the approaching danger.

On the sphere wrapped at the end of the pearl-colored "soft tube", two plump red lips opened outwards.

From the large mouth covered with cone-shaped fangs, thick white juice with a hint of heat dripped down.

chi~ chi~
The thick saliva contacted the crab shell and the ice, causing bursts of corrosion sounds.

The little shield crab raised its claws and turned sideways on the spot, just as it was about to escape, when the strange dragon's neck suddenly stretched out, stretching to the point where it could touch the ground.

babble~
The strange dragon swallowed the small shield crab in one mouthful, and its extremely elastic neck immediately stretched and stretched to send it into its belly.

"With this kind of monster living under the residence, it's no wonder the lone fox is afraid."

Chuying said with lingering fear. "If you accidentally look up at night and see this thing lying on the roof, it will really scare you to death."

Li Ming agreed.

He found it strange that if dragons were used in horror movies, there would be no need for any special effects or plot rendering.

"Well, if any member of the team is swallowed, it must not be spread."

Chuying informed.

"Of course, but I actually want to try and attack from the inside."

Hunters hunting monsters, in addition to fighting for their lives, will also encounter some nightmare-like painful experiences.

For example, being seriously injured by a weak monster, the cat cart is sent back to the camp.

For targets that cannot move, there will be an error due to the distance, causing the charged attack to fail.

Among them, being swallowed by a strange dragon is considered to be the most painful one.

Since there is a consensus among hunters, even if similar things are witnessed, no one will mention it.

However, Li Ming learned about it based on the introduction on the Monster Encyclopedia.

The strange dragon will not chew human-sized creatures, but will swallow them directly into its stomach.

There is no place to stand in there, and a weapon that is too long cannot be used to cut through it, but it can be attacked with a knife.

This is a valuable experience provided anonymously by a hunter.

"I advise you not to do this unless you accidentally swallow it."

Thinking of that scene, Chuying felt heart palpitations.

"Well, there is something in the stomach that is being digested. The strange dragon's desire to devour should not be too strong, so let's start the battle as soon as possible now, Mido Dobubu, you guys remember to stay away."

After Li Ming finished making arrangements, he stared at the rock wall at the top of the cave and slowly approached.

呲味~
The sound of inhaling and sniffing came to mind again, and he bent his neck around the cone-shaped rock pillar to face the approaching team.

boom!boom!
Chuying raised the green bear tube at an angle, took aim and fired directly.

Soft elastic gel-like skin surface, igniting burning.

Hey~
The strange dragon screamed in pain and retracted its neck quickly.

The two formed a Butan collaboration and continued to explore one after the other.

The sniffing sound became more and more urgent, and the strange dragon crawled around on the roof of the cave for a moment, then turned over and landed.

puff~
The soft elastic claws were squeezed and deformed like gummy candies. When the impact was offset, the strange dragon stood up and retracted back to its original shape.

The two red lips parted and the neck shook.

Ouch!An explosive roar sounded, and a ring of sound waves spread out and struck.

Li Ming used his shield to resist and retreated slightly.

Behind her, Chuying covered her ears for a moment, then pushed through.

The strange dragon's neck bent forward, and Li Ming quickly changed its direction and turned to his side to support the shield.

when!Guji~
The spherical head hit the shield, and white saliva flew out from the mouth.

Good guy, it also comes with magic attacks.

The foul-smelling saliva clung to his face, making Li Ming feel very uncomfortable.

At this time, Midoduo jumped to his shoulder, took out his handkerchief and wiped it quickly.

The strange dragon stands with its neck retracted and its head tilted back, looking a little naive.

It seemed incredible that he couldn't shake the human being in front of him.

Chu Ying didn't care what the other party was thinking, she would seize the opportunity and attack with all her might.

The scattered burning spots on the pearly skin surface of the chest quickly became one.

The strange dragon retreated slightly in pain, then propped its two claws back on the ground, and used the force to fly forward.

Guji~Dang!
The shield surface first felt a soft bullet, and then came a strong impact.

This kind of flexible skin adheres to a large area and has a slightly delayed attack, which makes Li Ming somewhat uncomfortable.

The root of the problem is that the strange dragon's attacks look very clumsy and lack the sense of power that other monsters show.

The body is blocked and stopped, and the two nostrils under the concave and wrinkled skin of the head inhale and sniff fiercely.

It seems that he wants to use his sense of smell to quickly identify what his opponent is.

With the head in front of him, Li Ming had no reason not to chop it off, so he slashed it horizontally with the energy-charged sword.

squeak~slip~
The sword blade struck the soft, smooth and tough pearl skin, cutting a shallow pink mark.

Obviously this is very different from the monster with hard carapace and scales to defend itself.

However, Li Ming's slashing force was still there. After squeezing the skin highly, the charged sword still hit the hard skull.

The skull was knocked, and the strange dragon reacted violently. At the same time, it swung its head sideways, opened its mouth, and large amounts of thick saliva splashed out.

Li Ming held up his shield to resist and stepped forward.

The strange dragon retreated, its throat kept beating, and it performed a behavior that was difficult to understand.

Gulu gulu~poof!
The small shield crab that he had swallowed before was spit out from his mouth.

The viscous corrosive liquid has drawn strings on his body, and he looks like he is dying.

Bang bang!Bang bang!
The strange dragon jumped backwards with a heavy body, twice in a row, deliberately widening the distance.

"what's the situation?"

Li Ming just mastered the rhythm of the battle, but the opponent suddenly retreated.

"Be careful! It will empty its stomach and definitely wants to devour us!"

Chuying said warily.

Li Ming's response to this was to assemble the sword and shield.

The long-handled weapon in the form of an ax is as long as it is. As long as you hold it firmly, it is not easy to swallow it.

bang~ bang~ bang~
The strange dragon turned sideways and began to move in a circuitous manner.

"It doesn't seem like a devouring attack."

Li Ming was confused.

The monster turns sideways to face the enemy, except for activating the iron mountain support, basically expressing concessions and compromises.

But this behavior pattern is only revealed for monsters, and many monsters even don't do this.

After looking at the dying little shield crab and then at the shield crab armor he was wearing, Li Ming quickly came to an inference.

Could it be that my ability to withstand shocks is too strong, and the other party really thinks that I am a shield crab?
It's strange that dragons without vision could really make such outrageous mistakes.

Then spitting out the small shield crab means that I have released the crab. How about everyone taking a step back.

boom!boom!
The muzzle of the green bear tube has heated up to light pink.

Bu Bu delivers the fire bomb, and Chu Ying loads and shoots.

With one person and one cat working together seamlessly, the bombardment never stopped.

Weird Dragon, who was still waiting and watching, saw that he could not wait for an effective response and could only be beaten in vain, and gradually lost confidence.

"Okay, on behalf of Little Shield Crab, I forgive you."

As soon as Li Ming finished speaking, the Little Shield Crab tilted its body and three fog balls flew out.

However, the strange dragon couldn't understand it at all, and the fire bomb bombardment didn't stop.

A burning smell spread in the cave, and the strange dragon gradually lost its mind.

After letting out an explosive roar, pink muscle veins and skin appeared, entering a state of anger.
