Chapter 1242 Frost and Fire
Hayata, carrying a katana, charged at the Wind Drifting Dragon hovering in the air, while Gale opened fire first and launched an offensive.
"Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang!" Continuous explosions sounded.
A series of fire bombs continued to bombard the Wind Drifting Dragon in the distance.
The "Fire Dragon Destroying Cannon" in her hand was based on the original "Fire Dragon Cannon", and was strengthened with selected male fire dragon materials.
It can be said that this light crossbow exists to fire fire bombs.
The loading quantity and power when using other types of crossbows can only be said to be average, and may even be slightly below average.
But when firing rapid-fire fire bombs, this light crossbow can even burst out super firepower that heavy crossbows cannot match.
However, super fire suppression will inevitably bring two disadvantages.
One is that the ammunition consumption rate is too fast, and the fire bombs carried with you may not be able to fight for a few rounds.
The second is the huge recoil. If an ordinary crossbowman with insufficient experience and poor skills, he may not be able to suppress the muzzle, and the muzzle will be lifted up to the sky after a few shots.
Fortunately, these two shortcomings are not a problem for Gale.
In addition to the ammunition she carries with her, Liefeng also carries multiple ammunition boxes, and the number of flame bombs is enough to blow up her barrel.
As for recoil.
Gale's accustomed fighting style is completely different from Anshil's fixed-point sniping.
She is good at mobile warfare and sweeping. While firing, she is also running and adjusting her shooting position.
This will inevitably reduce the speed and accuracy of shooting, but it is extremely flexible.
He fired two bursts on the left side of Fengpiaolong. The explosive flames burned Fengpiaolong and howled continuously, but before it turned its head, Gale had already rushed behind it and continued to fire.
Hayata also rushed to Fengpiaolong at this moment.
She remembered clearly that Fengpiaolong's weaknesses were its head and wings.
Although the one in front of him looked a little bit wrong, and perhaps it could be considered a special individual, this weakness involving the body structure would not change.
The sword blade wrapped in flames slashed down vertically.
This is the most basic move in the sword technique of the sword, but even the sword master would never ignore its role. The daily training of the sword masters is to practice vertical slashing.
The sword light flashed and fell, cutting a charred sword mark at the tip of Feng Piao Long's nose.
The cut was too shallow.
Hayata frowned. She aimed at the top of Feng Piao Long's head and predicted the latter's movements.
But the evasive speed of the Feng Piao Long in front of her still exceeded her expectations.
Sure enough, it was not an ordinary individual.
Feng Piao Long was also startled by Hayata's sword. It thought it could easily avoid the attack, but the burning pain at the tip of its nose told it that the hunter in front of it was much more difficult than it thought.
"Jiya——!"
It screamed and flapped its wings, flying backwards, trying to keep a distance.
Of course, Hayata would not let it go so easily.
The Wind Drifting Dragon is good at flying and likes to keep a certain distance from the opponent, and then repeatedly harasses the hunter through frost, wing strikes, tail strikes and high-speed raids wrapped in ice wind.
For swordsmen with limited attack distance, it is quite a headache.
Once the Wind Drifting Dragon pulls away from him, he will fall into a passive position.
Hayata rushed forward again, and at the same time raised his hand to launch a flying claw.
The steel claw blade hit the head of the Wind Drifting Dragon accurately, hooking its swept-back sharp corners.
The spring of the projectile retracted at a high speed, dragging Hayata into the air and flying down to the side of its head.
The Wind Drifting Dragon obviously did not expect that the bipedal creature in front of it could "fly". It fluttered its wings and did a backflip at a large angle, trying to cling to Hayata on its head and fell down.
Hayata used both her hands and feet to hold on tightly. After enduring Feng Piao Long's stressful struggle, she drew out her sword and chopped it on Feng Piao Long's head, then pulled it down fiercely.
The raging flames on the dark red blade melted the armor-like frost, and a huge wound that bled profusely appeared on the side of Feng Piao Long's face.
"Jiya——!" Feng Piao Long howled in pain. This sword almost blinded one of its eyes.
Turning over and landing, Hayata adjusted her posture and was about to chase. Feng Piao Long, who was hovering in the air, suddenly swung one of its dragon wings at her.
Judging from Feng Piao Long's wingspan and the distance between them, this wing attack could not touch her, but she still decisively chose to see the cut, stepped back, and pulled a distance.
"Hu——"
A stream of extremely cold air whistled past her.
As the ultra-low temperature refrigerant sprayed by the air flow fell on the ground, it froze in the blink of an eye, and countless sharp ice edges like knives rose from the ground and stabbed at the hunter.
If you don't retreat in time, even with tough armor, you will inevitably get hurt.
In fact, getting hurt is secondary. Once you are touched by the freezing liquid, the extremely cold temperature will cause severe frostbite, freeze your limbs, affect your movements, and make you passive in subsequent battles.
This is also the most dangerous part of the wind dragon's freezing air.
However, the freezing air of ordinary wind dragons usually only forms a piece of frost on the ground. It's really the first time I've seen a sharp ice ridge condensed directly like this.
"Is it an individual who is particularly good at using frost abilities? That's great."
Hayata exhaled cold air and sheathed the knife.
What is the most likely action of a monster with abundant physical strength after the attack fails?
Of course, continue to attack.
The wind dragon spread its wings and let out a piercing scream.
Then, like dancing, it soared into the sky, and then swooped down with a whirlwind of freezing air.
Just as it was about to fall to the ground, Hayata stepped forward and drew his sword, swinging the sword forward.
The sword flashed, and the flaming blade accurately cut the side of the wind dragon's neck.
The power of this sword was not too strong, but it was enough to break the balance of the wind dragon in a full-strength dive, and the flying action was suddenly scattered. It was obviously too late to pull up urgently at this time.
The wind dragon fell to the ground, wailing and struggling.
"**!" Gale approached quickly with unbearable praise.
In the previous battle, while she continued to sweep, she was also observing that the frost on the chest of the wind dragon was particularly thick, which also meant that this was the place where the cryogenic glands were most concentrated.
So, using fire bombs to concentrate on bombarding this place, melting the frost and burning those glands at the same time, would it be possible to weaken the ability of the wind dragon to use frost?
It's worth a try!
She rushed directly to the chest of Feng Piao Long, who was struggling on the ground, less than ten meters away, and set up the crossbow to fire at full speed.
The blazing flames continued to explode, and one could even smell the scorched smell of burnt flesh.
Hayata rushed in from another direction, slid to the side of Feng Piao Long's head and stood firm. While bursting out high-speed air blades, he continued to accumulate sword energy and increase his momentum.
In just a few seconds, Feng Piao Long's chest and head were a bloody mess.
"Ji Gaga Gaga--!"
Finally regaining his balance, Feng Piao Long stood up again and flapped his wings violently, forcing the hunters to retreat.
Then, it raised its head and let out a series of sharp and loud hisses.
The hisses echoed in the cave and continued to spread to the outside.
Subconsciously, Hayata and Gale immediately stepped up their offensive, and Xianglan also threw a flash bomb at this time, stunning it and forcibly interrupting the disturbing cry.
But it seemed too late.
The whistling sound of dragon wings sweeping the air could be heard from afar, and another wind-drifting dragon passed through the passage and rushed into the cave where the battlefield was located.
