Chapter 1100: Admit Defeat

“Bang!”

[Red Wing] slashed at the top of the Steel Dragon again. Just by listening to the sound, one would think that the weapon that made this noise was definitely not a sharp weapon like a sword, but a huge hammer.

The huge recoil made Gordon's hands numb, and the Steel Dragon felt even worse.

After all, the Hunter's arms were numb, but its brain was numb.

The dragon horn used to manipulate the magnetic field was already shaky. Perhaps one or two more swords would be able to cut off the glittering dragon horn, or even break it.

The Steel Dragon naturally realized this.

It raised its head and neck to a height that the Hunter's sword could not reach, but this also exposed its chest.

No matter how you look at it, this is a huge flaw, but Gordon did not attack immediately.

Although the Steel Dragon, which temporarily lost the ability to control the wind, has become much weaker than before, he dare not underestimate an ancient dragon.

Too obvious flaws often mean traps.

He temporarily suspended his attack, put the big sword forward, and took a courageous stance, while carefully observing the dynamics and changes of the Steel Dragon's muscles and joints.

It supported itself on all fours, swept its wings forward, and pressed its body slightly backward.

"Not good!"

Gordon, realizing what the Steel Dragon was going to do, immediately started the dragon engine, used the thrust to slide sideways for several meters, and then immediately pounced and fell.

The Steel Dragon also pounced at the moment he dodged.

The Steel Dragon is slender and well-proportioned, but the steel armor covering its entire body makes its weight the same as that of "heavyweight" monsters such as the Explosive Hammer Dragon.

However, the flexibility of the two movements is definitely not on the same level.

Relying on the powerful limbs and the propulsion of the wide wings, the Steel Dragon achieved explosive acceleration in a very short time.

Such an attack cannot be blocked at all. Even a defender with heavy armor will be crushed into a meat paste by the weight of hundreds of tons. A seemingly simple pounce is much more dangerous than the dragon cars of many large monsters.

With this pounce, the Steel Dragon not only got rid of Gordon's frontal suppression, but also left Hayata, who was attacking from behind, far away, and won a short but precious breathing opportunity.

The hunters would not let it go so easily, and they chased it.

The Steel Dragon had already taken the lead, flapping its wings and soaring into the air.

Due to the ineffectiveness of its wind control ability caused by poisoning, it could not create an upward airflow, and the Steel Dragon could only rely on the vibration of its wings to gain lift.

This forced it to flap its wings at a faster frequency, and its movements were not so light, but it did successfully leave the ground and slowly rise.

The rapidly waving dragon wings raised a strong wind that made it unstable.

The hunters moved forward against the wind, and the ordinary wind pressure without the dragon attribute energy could not stop their pace. They soon came to the slowly rising Steel Dragon.

Pork Chop, who was chasing after the hunters, had taken out a flash bomb, but Gordon raised his hand to stop it.

After being hit twice in a row, whether the flash bomb tactics could still work was one thing.

The more important reason was that the Steel Dragon suspended in the air was staring at them quietly as it did when they first met, but the hostility in its eyes had disappeared.

It had no intention of continuing to fight.

The hunters' strength made it fearful, especially after being poisoned, it realized that it had fallen into a disadvantage.

Just like the battle for territory between large monsters rarely results in life and death, the loser often chooses to leave on his own initiative.

The steel dragon, which has an IQ and intelligence that is not inferior to that of humans, frankly admitted his defeat.

The choice is in the hands of the winner.

The hunters can of course choose to continue chasing, but at that time, what they need to face is no longer a steel dragon fighting for dignity and territory, but a ferocious beast struggling for survival and fighting back madly.

The power of the steel dragon's previous pounce was sobering.

Even if it temporarily lost the ability to control the wind, the ancient dragon is still an ancient dragon. If you want to hunt it, you must be prepared to fight to the death.

Judging from the current situation, there is no need to fight desperately.

Gordon, who had made a decision, made a gesture, and Hayata next to him looked at him and put away his weapon.

Gordon himself held the greatsword upside down with both hands, and inserted the [Red Wing] sword head down into the ground with force, then raised his head and continued to look at the steel dragon.

After a short silence, the steel dragon exhaled.

The invisible wind swirled up from under it, and it flapped its wings vigorously, riding the wind into the sky, and disappeared in the dark night in an instant.

Such a scene surprised the hunters.

Hayata said uncertainly: "Has it recovered the ability to control the wind?!"

"It should be partially recovered."

Gordon took off his helmet and wiped the sweat from the ends of his hair, "It was just stalling for time and hiding its weakness. If we choose to continue chasing, we may suffer a great loss."

"Sure enough, we can't underestimate the intelligence of the ancient dragon." Zhuchop muttered while putting away the flash bomb.

Xianglan looked at the [Red Wing] greatsword that Gordon had inserted into the ground with curiosity, "So why did you insert the sword into the ground?

The head of your sword is not sharp, it looks weird."

"Uh, don't you think this gives you a better feeling of 'leave, this is my territory'?" Gordon tried to explain his behavior.

Hayata, Pork Chop, Pandan, and Alva who just walked over looked at each other.

"Who understands this?"

"I can't see it, it's too abstract."

"I just think you're crazy!"

"In fact, from the perspective of the monster, the symbolic meaning of you releasing excrement on the spot may be more obvious."

"Are you itching for trouble?"

After this battle, the abnormal strong winds and rainstorms never appeared again.

Gordon and his team wandered in the ancient tree forest for a few days. After confirming that the steel dragon had left the forest, the investigation mission was successfully completed.

Since the ancient dragon was involved and a battle took place, the content of this mission report would be more complicated. Fortunately, the work of the mission report would be in charge of Alva, the compiler.

Gordon was relieved.

This is also one of the reasons why hunters welcome compiler partners. After all, hunters are warriors, and how many warriors like to write reports?

The girl who was playing with the mixed-blood kitten in the fish basket tribe’s residence was taken back by them.

They originally wanted to take her back to Xingchen, but she was in a hurry to take care of her wind-drifting dragon "baby", so they had to give up.

If there is a chance in the future, visit her tree house again.

On the fifth day after the mission began, the three men and two cats rode the pterosaur back to the Star Base.

The first priority was naturally to report the mission to the commander-in-chief. With the report prepared by Alva, the process became easy and enjoyable.

They only needed to wait for the commander-in-chief to finish reading the report and then answer a few questions.

Regarding the part about the steel dragon, all aspects of the situation were clearly written in the report. He was very satisfied with Gordon's final decision to cease fire peacefully, and there was nothing much to ask.

When he saw the part about "the light of life" in the appendix of the report, the commander-in-chief's expression became very serious.

The old man, with gray hair but still as tough as a reef, put down the report and crossed his arms, "The Alcohol Team picked up the hair of the Flame King Dragon in the Molten Canyon.

Az witnessed a huge shadow of unknown identity under the sea in the southeast.

A letter came from Yuanye saying that some abnormalities were found in the Miasma Valley and he went to investigate.

In addition to the steel dragon that appeared in the Ancient Tree Forest, everything proves that the ancient dragons are becoming active. We have been looking for the source of the unrest, the light of life."

The commander-in-chief fell into deep thought, and Gordon and others didn't interrupt him, so they waited quietly.

A few minutes passed like this, and the commander-in-chief finally came back to his senses, "Sorry, people like to think too much when they get old.

Thank you for your hard work this time. In addition to the basic compensation, I asked them to prepare some extra rewards. I hope you like it."
