Chapter 1010: Resistance to Miasma 3
"Not right." Gordon noticed something strange.
He approached the huge claw mark on the head of the corpse, and took the peeling knife to enlarge the scalp tear near the claw.
The muscles and connective tissue between the cortex and the bones almost completely disappeared, and this process did not take too much effort.
He re-examined the cracks on the skull that spread from the claw marks, and then was surprised to find that there were signs of healing at the end of the skull cracks.
"That claw was not a fatal injury?"
Gordon frowned and muttered to himself, "Or, after being hit by such a heavy claw, the Flame King Dragon did not die immediately?"
Gordon quickly re-examined and confirmed that there were no other obvious fatal wounds on the corpse, and basically confirmed the correctness of the latter guess.
Thinking about it, this does not seem strange.
The vitality of the ancient dragon species is terrifying. Look at the giant halberd dragon, most of its internal organs were blown to pieces, but it can still move freely.
In addition, there are no obvious signs of fighting nearby.
The battle between ancient dragons must be earth-shattering, just like the giant ship on the top of the mountain in the Star Base. It is said that it was thrown to the top of the mountain by the huge waves when the steel dragon that the first group was tracking fought with an unknown ancient dragon.
For a creature of the level of the Flame King Dragon, it is impossible for any creature to kill it instantly. Even if it can be suppressed, its resistance will be so fierce that it can even change the terrain.
So, did it escape here after being seriously injured and then be eroded by the miasma?
Or did it know that its life was coming to an end and ran to the "cemetery" to wait for death?
It's hard to say.
Gordon looked at his pocket watch. There was still some time left. He was about to investigate carefully to see if he could find any new clues and evidence.
The earth suddenly trembled.
At this time, Gordon did not feel panic in his heart, but felt that he was finally here.
This is the deepest part of the miasma valley full of dangers, and it is also a mysterious place where ancient dragons frequently appear and are suspected to be the nest. If he really came in smoothly and went out safely.
He would find it strange.
Gordon put the stripping knife back into the sheath, took a last look at the shrunken but still impressive corpse, took a deep breath, and ran at full speed.
Whether the earthquake was caused by some kind of creature or a natural change of address, it is always right to run.
"Boom boom boom!"
Just as he was about to return along the original route through the narrow passage between the two huge corpse mountains, one of the violently shaking corpse mountains collapsed.
Countless corpses blocked the passage, Gordon hurriedly stopped and retreated at full speed, almost being buried by the endless corpses.
At the same time, a figure emerged from the sea of corpses. Gordon immediately lowered his body, took out the invisible cloak from his bag as quickly as possible, shook it open and put it on his body.
Worried that this was not safe, Gordon wrapped himself in the invisible cloak and rolled on the ground.
The dark green invisible cloak was immediately covered with black and red blood mud and rotten meat.
After this, I'm afraid this invisible suit won't be used anymore, and the protective gear will have to be cleaned thoroughly, but as long as we can get through this difficult time, none of this matters.
The hunter tightened the hood of the invisible suit, huddled behind a few corpses, and remained motionless, blending in with the environment as much as possible.
His eyes looked through the edge of the hood at the shadow that stood up from the sea of corpses.
Is that really a living thing?
This question flashed through Gordon's mind again.
Its body is not particularly large, and its four-legged double-wing structure is a sign of the ancient dragon species.
The severely rotten fascia and muscles are wrapped around the skinny body like a bandage.
Its head is similar to a snake, and there is no muscle connection between the upper and lower jaws. Only a few rotten tendons are hanging, which prevents the lower jaw from falling directly.
The wide wings are also covered with rotten meat-like tissue, which looks tattered.
Perhaps because it didn't have enough muscles to support the body, or perhaps because it had just woken up from a deep sleep, its movements seemed a little slow.
It slowly walked to the top of another stone mountain.
When it stopped, the endless corpses under its feet seemed to have become part of its body, like a throne, adding a bit of majesty to its terrifying and evil figure.
Gordon tried to calm his emotions and suppress his heartbeat.
He should not have been discovered yet, and hoped to find a chance to escape safely.
Just thinking about this, the corpse dragon suddenly moved.
It spread its wings and stretched its neck to make a long cry that was not like a living thing.
"giuyaaaaa——!"
With this roar, the miasma around it suddenly became active, especially the miasma wrapped around those "living things", as if summoned, rushing towards the strange ancient dragon on the corpse mountain.
The corpse dragon greedily devoured everything.
When all the miasma was swallowed by it, those half-dead "living things" finally lost their last vitality, fell to the ground, and turned into dried corpses.
Using miasma, decomposition, devour the nutrients in the corpses, and erode the vitality of those living things?
What an evil power.
Just as Gordon was thinking this in his heart, the corpse dragon sitting on the pile of corpses suddenly turned its head.
The dragon's pupils flashing with dark yellow light stared straight at him.
Discovered!
Gordon was shocked and jumped up from the ground without hesitation, climbing up the pile of corpses in front of him with his hands and feet.
The way out has been blocked, and only by climbing over these obstacles can he return to the cave entrance!
While climbing with all his strength, he quickly thought about why he was discovered.
Hearing? Smell? Or some other reason?
Gordon's eyes swept over the shrunken corpses that were still moving around a few minutes ago, and a flash of realization flashed in his eyes.
The Hazak dragon may have extremely sharp senses, especially for living creatures.
Before, there were zombies everywhere around, so he was ignored.
But with this gust of wind sucking in, the miasma that maintained the zombies' activities was sucked away by the Hazak dragon, and those half-dead creatures also completely lost their lives.
So, in addition to itself, there was another creature still alive within the Hazak dragon's perception range.
Who was that?
"Giuyaa!" Another strange scream sounded.
The Hazak dragon, which noticed the intruder, took a deep breath, and then a high-pressure gas column composed of high-concentration miasma swept towards the hunter.
Gordon, who had just climbed to the top of the corpse mountain, fell to the ground, and the miasma breath swept over his back. Although he was not hit directly, the aftermath of the miasma enveloped him.
The miasma that can deprive the parasite of life and turn it into a zombie invades the hunter's body.
But then, they lost their activity.
The stone guard hanging on Gordon's chest flickered, and at this moment, he suddenly had a bottom line in his heart.
Since the miasma erosion, which is the core ability of the corpse dragon, is ineffective against him, what is there to be afraid of? (Resistance to miasma 3 is really hard to beat.)
"Fuck, if I really can't escape, I'll turn around and kill you!"
After venting his anger, Gordon quickly stood up, jumped up, slid down the slope of the hill made of corpses, and then continued to run wildly in the direction of the passage.
"giuyaa!!!"
The corpse dragon screamed and raised its body.
The dragon's mouth, which was only connected by a small amount of fascia, opened at a completely dislocated angle, and a large amount of miasma gushed out and spread around at a very fast speed, covering the hunter in an instant.
After finishing this large-scale attack, the Hazak fell back to the ground. Wherever the miasma covered, all creatures would become its food.
Then, it watched the hunter run away from the miasma that symbolized death.
