Chapter 1284 Parasite

The flying claw is a very useful move, but at the same time, it is also a very risky move.

Especially at the moment of flying up, it is difficult for the hunter to adjust the posture and landing point. If you encounter some monsters with fast reaction speed, you may become meat in your mouth if you bite it sideways.

In order to reduce the risk, many hunters will choose to fly to the neck, shoulders and other parts first, and then find an opportunity to climb up.

But Maca doesn't have this opportunity now.

The critical state of the Exploding Dragon is covered with ancient slime molds activated by burning. It is not only hot and difficult to climb, but also has the risk of explosion at any time.

The contact time is naturally as short as possible.

Fortunately, the flash bomb thrown by Babaka temporarily sealed the vision of the Exploding Dragon, creating some flaws for her.

Maka flew to the side of the Exploding Dragon and waved the flying claws, grabbing the eye socket of the Exploding Dragon with force.

When the vitals were attacked, the Exploding Dragon, like all creatures, reacted violently, shook its head violently, and tried to throw Maca down.

Maka wanted to hold the gap in the shell to stabilize her body, but she found that the shell covered with slime was slippery, and as she flew up, the side of the head of the Explosive Dragon began to emit a dangerous red light.

This was a sign of an impending explosion.

Staying on the Explosive Dragon was no different from committing suicide. Without time to adjust the direction of the Explosive Dragon, Maka pressed the projector against the eye socket of the former and pulled the trigger hard.

Full bullets fired!

"Gah!!" The Explosive Dragon rushed out with a painful howl, and pounced on the non-existent enemy in front.

Maka took the opportunity to do a backflip, detached from the monster, and staggered to the ground.

Because there was not enough time to adjust the direction, the Explosive Dragon rushed forward at a very biased angle. Seeing that it could not hit the rock wall, everyone felt a little pity.

However, at this moment, luck favored them.

The slime mold spreading on the side of the Explosive Dragon's face exploded. Under the bombardment of this explosion, the Explosive Dragon's head suddenly tilted, and the direction of the rush also shifted.

Finally, it crashed head-on into the volcanic giant rock that was thirty or forty meters high.

"Boom boom!"

Large cracks spread out in all directions with the impact point as the center.

Even with the size and strength of the Explosive Dragon, it is impossible to smash such a huge rock, or rock mountain, with one head.

The impact of the collision was returned, making the head of the Explosive Dragon dizzy.

But it was not over yet.

On the giant rock, in the deep pit created by the horns of the Explosive Dragon, a large piece of slime mold was stuck.

Under such a violent impact, these slime molds, which were already in a critical state, were activated without surprise.

With a loud explosion, the cracks on the rock mountain further expanded, and large pieces of rock collapsed and fell on the Explosive Dragon.

The Explosive Dragon, which was already a little dizzy and unstable, was knocked to the ground.

Oshura seized the opportunity to stop and turn around, set up the crossbow, and continued to rapidly fire ice bullets to wear down the Explosive Dragon's physical strength.

Maka and Ted also approached quickly, ready to launch a strong attack.

Just as they came to the roaring and struggling Explosive Dragon half buried in the boulders, Ted suddenly remembered something.

He shouted: "Maka, retreat as far as you can! Oshura, change to armor-piercing grenades!"

Maka, who was waving the insect stick and preparing to perform the flying circle slash, stopped the attack immediately and flew back.

Although she was not sure of Ted's intention, it was always right to follow the captain's instructions in battle.

Oshura also subconsciously changed the magazine. After reacting for two seconds, she roughly guessed Ted's purpose.

In theory, ammunition such as flame bombs and armor-piercing grenades, which use high temperature and explosive impact as the main killing means, have a poor effect on Explosive Dragon.

But high temperature and explosion may further stimulate those critical slime molds!

Ted really thought so.

He came to the head of the Explosive Dragon, pointed his gun forward, and aimed the muzzle at the horns and arms where the slime mold was most concentrated on the Explosive Dragon.

"Dragon Cannon!"

"Boom boom!"

In the explosion and smoke, the hot can popped out, and the barrel of the gun became red hot.

The blasting shock released by the dragon cannon in a fan shape just landed on the head and chest of the Explosive Dragon.

The slime mold activity was about to exceed the critical point and began to expand and shine.

Ted could no longer care about anything else, put away his weapon, turned around and ran away.

At the same time, Oshura also fired the armor-piercing grenades that had just been loaded into the crossbow.

These armor-piercing grenades were almost just landed on the chest of the Explosive Dragon, and they were detonated by the high temperature released during the rapid activation of the ancient slime mold, exploding into several balls of fire.

The power of this explosion is incomparable to the ancient slime mold of the Explosive Dragon, but it is like a detonator in a bomb, lighting the last fire for the ancient slime mold approaching the critical point.

The Explosive Dragon that was knocked down by the falling rocks was like an erupting volcano. The continuous explosions and blazing flames once again echoed on the shore of the huge lava lake.

He had already run dozens of meters away, and there were still fragments of gravel and shell flying from time to time. Ted raised his shield to block a fist-sized piece of shell.

"Will it fall this time?"

The explosion covered his muttering. Before the explosion ended and the dust settled, no one could answer his question.

The hunters replaced their ammunition and polished their weapons.

Logically speaking, the Explosive Dragon, which was already seriously injured and had most of its shell shattered, had no reason to survive such a continuous explosion.

But they always felt that this Explosive Dragon, which had been wandering on the edge of life and death for so long, survived explosion after explosion, and continued to evolve to its current appearance, would not die so aggrievedly.

"Babaka, set a trap." Staring at the giant beast roaring in the endless explosion for a few seconds, Ted said in a deep voice: "Even if it is still alive, it is probably only one breath left. The tranquilizer bullet should be effective."

The Qimian tribe nodded, found a suitable position, and began to set the paralysis trap.

Osura also replaced the magazine of the capture tranquilizer bullet for the crossbow.

Ten more seconds passed, the explosion and roar gradually stopped, and the giant shadow in the smoke was motionless.

The hunters raised their weapons and carefully surrounded it.

Suddenly, the giant shadow lying on the ground moved.

Ted, who was walking in the front, immediately stopped and made a "pause" gesture.

"Roar"

The charred Explosive Dragon let out a series of indistinct roars. It supported its body with its head and slowly stood up.

The proud horns had been blown off, and a large part of its head shell had been blown off. Through the cracks in the shell, one could even see the skull with charred flesh and blood.

The entire spine of the thickest part of the shell was blown off and fell to the side, and one of its legs was also broken.

It was too weak to fight in this state, just standing up was already its limit.

The hunters looked at each other, still not daring to let down their guard.

The eyes and ear holes had been completely destroyed in the continuous explosions, and it couldn't even detect the approach of the hunters at this time.

It couldn't even tell where the enemy was, but it still had no intention of running away.

It stretched out its tongue, which was only half left and dripping with blood, and licked its arms.

Even though it was blown to its last breath, it was still doing its best to give birth to those terrifying slime molds.

At this moment, a strange thought flashed through Ted's mind.

Everyone thought that the extremely ferocious Explosive Dragon was the dominant party.

And those slime molds from the ancient strata were just some strange parasites, which were the "powerful weapons" that the Explosive Dragon obtained in the process of pursuing powerful strength.

But what if it was not the case? What if the ancient slime mold was the dominant party, and the Explosive Dragon was just a tool for the spread and reproduction of the ancient slime mold?

"Boom! Boom!"

Just as Ted was thinking wildly, the Explosive Dragon punched the ground twice in succession.

Its arms were already broken, and one of them had even been blown to pieces, with the white bone stumps exposed, which was extremely eye-catching.

But it still kept waving its arms and smashing the ground, faster and faster.

With its repeated bombardment, the cracked ground was broken layer by layer, and magma gushed out, burning its body.

But it still didn't care, and sent all the ancient slime molds that had just proliferated on its arms into the hot magma flow underground.

With the massive injection of ancient slime molds, the ground within a radius of nearly 100 meters with it as the center gradually glowed with a frightening red light.

The hunters woke up from the strange behavior of the Explosive Dragon.

"Run!!!"
