Chapter 1282 Cutting Off the Tail
While the Ice Curse Dragon's attention was attracted by Feng Ying, Hayata quickly circled to the side and rear of the Ice Curse Dragon.
Noticing her movements, Aiden, who was sniping from a distance, also changed his position and came to a position closer to the front to minimize the Ice Curse Dragon's attention to the rear.
Hayata's goal was clear, which was to cut off the Ice Curse Dragon's tail.
Hunters who were not experienced often ignored the importance of the tail and thought that cutting the tail was insignificant.
Only when facing monsters with special organs in the tail, such as female fire dragons, would they attack the tail in a targeted manner.
In fact, the tail plays a vital role in maintaining balance and adjusting the center of gravity, especially for monsters with agile movements or heavy heads.
The Ice Curse Dragon in front of him was a bit of both.
Its claws were not strong enough, and its teeth were not sharp enough. In close combat, the ice spear-like blade tail was its sharpest weapon.
At the same time, the Ice Curse Dragon was good at flying, and its slender tail, which was almost longer than its entire body, played a vital role in adjusting its flying posture.
If it can be cut off, the Ice Curse Dragon, which was already seriously injured and was restricted by the environment and could not use its best extreme cold breath ability, will be further reduced in threat.
That may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
When Hayata came to the Ice Curse Dragon's long tail, a blue light flashed in his eyes, and he turned on the courage state, and then threw a strange power pill into his mouth.
Xianglan also ran over and sprinkled a handful of ghost dust on her.
After completing a series of preparations, Hayata's sword Iai, as the accumulated sword energy continued to be injected into the blade in the sheath, her momentum was constantly increasing.
The preparations for the Divine Power Iai were about to be completed, but the sharp sword energy that could not be hidden eventually attracted the attention of the Ice Curse Dragon.
It turned its head sideways and glanced behind it.
Seeing this, Feng Ying immediately took the risk to launch a strong attack, and the heavy axe swung at the bloody chest of the Ice Curse Dragon with all her strength, trying to force it to fight back and cover Hayata to complete the attack.
However, the Ice Curse Dragon was not one of those ordinary beasts that only care about the head and not the tail. It waved its wings and claws to resist Feng Ying's attack while swinging its long tail.
The spear-like ice blade tail swept across and cut towards Hayata who was gathering strength.
Facing this attack that broke through the wind, Hayata's face remained normal. At the moment when the ice blade tail was about to hit her, she slid back and let the ice blade that was sharper and tougher than steel pass by her eyes.
But the Ice Curse Dragon's attack was not over yet.
The slender tail was like a ferocious snake. After the sweep missed, it immediately rose up and stabbed the hunter from top to bottom again.
This time, Hayata did not dodge again.
The Ice Curse Dragon's long tail was flexible and powerful. Dodging constantly would only make her miss the best time to condense the sword energy to the limit.
"Hu——"
With a light breath, Hayata raised her eyes, and the flying dragon sword that should not have been unsheathed at this time popped out and was blocked in front of her.
Aiden and Feng Ying, who had parted their attention and were paying attention to this place, could not help but feel pity.
This was like the moment when the great sword's power slash was about to be completed, and the monster's attack came. Although it was a pity to interrupt the power slash and turn to defense or dodge, it was also a helpless move to save their lives.
However, what happened next surprised them.
After accurately defending with the hard air blade slash and cutting off the deadly ice blade tail, the red sword energy wrapped around Hayata's blade did not dissipate.
Hayata turned her wrist and put the katana back into the scabbard.
Under her extremely delicate control of "qi", the counterattack of the hard air blade slash did not interrupt the preparation of the Kamui Iai.
While the Ice Curse Dragon had not yet retracted its long tail, she slid again and adjusted her position and angle.
Her eyes were fixed on the intersection of the ice blade formed by the insoluble ice and the long tail, which was also the thinnest part of the Ice Curse Dragon's long tail.
The Flying Dragon Sword [Black Yao] was unsheathed again.
The sword energy and the blazing flames intertwined, and as the sword light flashed, three consecutive swords landed on the same gap in the shell almost at the same time.
Breaking the scales, cutting the flesh, and cutting the bones.
The nearly two-meter-long ice blade tail broke off and fell to the ground, with the tip almost half immersed in the ground.
"Liga--!!!"
The coccyx is an extension of the spine, which contains complex nerves.
The pain of the long tail being cut off by a sword made the Ice Curse Dragon tremble all over. With muscles twitching all over, the body could not help but lean back and lift up, and a piercing scream cut through the sky.
Opportunity!
Feng Ying's eyes lit up, relying on the Kinsect to rush forward quickly, in the blink of an eye, she came to the Ice Curse Dragon's hind legs, turned around and swung the giant axe horizontally, and slashed at the Ice Curse Dragon's hind legs fiercely.
Hayata made the same judgment as her, and her figure flashed, and she rushed forward while spinning and swinging the blade.
Sakura Air Blade Slash.
The Divine Power Iai exhausted her accumulated sword energy, and this sword failed to exert the power of the Sakura Air Blade Slash, but she didn't care. Many times, the timing of the attack is more important than the power.
The giant axe and the sword fell on one ankle of the Ice Curse Dragon at the same time. The Ice Curse Dragon fell to the ground before it could regain its balance.
The hunters were very excited and launched a strong attack with all their strength.
Feng Ying rushed back to the relatively vulnerable head and neck of the Ice Curse Dragon, as if she wanted to chop off the head of the Ice Curse Dragon directly, and various high-powered attribute release slashes one after another.
Hayata, who had exhausted her sword energy and had limited explosive power, did not compete with Feng Ying for the attack position. She came to the dragon's wings and slashed the wing membrane continuously, hoping to weaken the Ice Curse Dragon's flying ability.
Aiden also ran to the side of the Ice Curse Dragon, less than ten meters away.
This is the most suitable distance for firing shotgun shells, but shotgun shells can easily injure teammates by mistake, so this time, he used another special ammunition that Ansel rarely used, but was welcomed by many heavy crossbow users of the survey group.
——Machine Dragon Bullet.
The extremely large and heavy Machine Dragon Bullet drum was pressed into the crossbow chamber by him.
All that needed to be done next was to point the muzzle at the enemy and then pull the trigger.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang"
As the muzzle flame continued to spurt, countless conical projectiles turned into a storm of steel, sweeping towards the belly of the Ice Curse Dragon.
Scales, fragments of bullets, blood and sparks, scattered everywhere.
The ammunition loaded with the Machine Dragon Bullet is actually the most common normal bullet. The destructive power of a single shot may not be impressive, and the accuracy and effective range are very average.
But the price paid is an astonishing rate of fire.
A full load of a Machine Dragon Bullet drum is fifty bullets. As long as the trigger is pulled, all fifty crossbow bullets can be fired in just ten seconds.
It can almost be said that it reversed the evaluation of the heavy crossbow's insufficient burst.
Ansir didn't use this because the harsh conditions of using the mechanical dragon bullets didn't suit his habits. When he needed to provide explosive firepower, there were more suitable "supernovas" to choose from.
But not every heavy crossbowman can carry a few supernovas that are so expensive that they are deadly.
The mechanical dragon bullets, which are large in quantity and powerful, are the daily first choice for most heavy crossbow users of the survey team.
Giant axes, swords, rapid-fire crossbow bullets, and even the chains and cat swords of hunting partners.
When the Ice Curse Dragon struggled to stand up again, most of its scales had been broken, and its head, chest, abdomen, and wings were even more scarred.
It panted, and the frost-white cold air spread.
Logically speaking, the Ice Curse Dragon, which was seriously injured, exhausted, and had exhausted its water storage, was no longer a threat to the upper hunters.
But at this time, they all felt a sense of threat.
"Back off!" Feng Ying yelled.
The hunters immediately stopped attacking, put away their weapons, and flew away.
"Cry!"
The Ice Curse Dragon spread its wings and let out a series of angry long cries.
The freezing air spread, and countless sharp ice flakes and ice gravels flew around like flying knives.
The gorgeously shaped ice armor once again appeared on its body.
