Chapter 1384: Breaking Free
A giant blue-green bird strolls in the forest.
As a bird dragon species with a low upper limit, the ecological niche of the poisonous bird can only be regarded as the middle level, and its strength is not comparable to that of large tooth dragons, beast dragons, and flying dragons.
But they have no real natural enemies.
Few monsters will take the initiative to provoke them. These strange-looking creatures have the most developed poison sacs among all known bird dragon monsters.
Even flying dragons can't bear a mouthful of purple venom.
Perhaps the strength of the toxin is not enough to kill them directly, but it can definitely make them painful and weak for a long time.
This is almost fatal in the extremely competitive wild, so naturally they are avoided.
At the same time, they are also hunters who bully the weak and fear the strong.
The existence of venom makes them almost never miss when facing small and medium-sized monsters.
All this makes the poisonous bird live quite moist in the wild, and they are widely distributed, and they can even be found in the distant land of fire.
"Ga-?"
Looking at the tiny bipedal creature that was only as tall as his thigh, the poisonous bird tilted its head.
"Jiga-!"
It spread its wings with a chorus, and its emerald green feathers, like the camouflage of the dense forest, opened up, revealing the colorful keratin skin underneath, which was so gorgeous that it was dazzling.
When encountering dangerous large monsters, they are cautious and shrink their bodies, wishing to blend into the forest, and are so low-key that they don't look like poisonous creatures at all.
When facing small creatures, they will become extremely arrogant, wishing to make themselves more colorful and more conspicuous.
"What a good guy." Gordon drew out his greatsword and carried the sword into a charging posture.
The long and slimy tongue covered with venom was swallowing and spitting out in the flat and wide beak. Just as it was about to launch an attack, a flying claw took the lead and hooked its side face.
Hayata flew up, inserted the sword into the gap between the scales and feathers on the monster's head, and pulled it down fiercely.
In front of the ice blade that could cut through the scales of the ancient dragon, the colorful gelatinous skin of the poisonous bird was as soft as a piece of paper.
In the extremely cold air, the scattered blood turned into dark red ice chips. The huge wound almost tore its head in half. The poisonous bird convulsed and raised its body, emitting bursts of miserable howls.
It had realized that something was wrong and was about to flap its wings and fly away.
Gordon in front of it had completed the accumulation of power.
Originally, he wanted to chop the head of the poisonous bird directly, but it suddenly raised its head, and this sword could only chop the chest.
It doesn't matter, it's almost the same.
Really charged slash!
The golden giant blade tore through the flesh and chopped the sternum. The heavy force carried by the sword directly flipped the poisonous bird over, and it fell to the ground, howling and struggling.
Gordon was about to pick up the big sword again to put an end to this battle.
Feng Ying ran over with a shield and a sword, "I'll finish it, I'll finish it! Let me open a red shield first!"
Gordon shrugged, shook off the blood stains on the blade, and put away the sword.
"First one, the next one is the female fire dragon, right?"
"It is said that the poisonous bird will show its arrogant side when facing an opponent weaker than itself, and it is true."
Alva muttered to himself, standing up from the bushes where he was hiding, and he withdrew his eyes from the bloody scene behind Gordon.
"Well, that's right, you guys solved it a little too quickly, and most of the time was wasted on the road.
We may try another way. The density of large monsters in the gathering place is high, and food resources may be relatively scarce.
Let's wait here for a while and try. The smell of blood and the screams of the poisonous bird may attract large monsters around."
"Okay!"
In the past, after they finished hunting, they had to peel it as soon as possible to avoid the smell of blood attracting other monsters.
Who would have thought that there would be a day to use these?
In order to save ammunition, Anxiel came over without firing a single shot.
"Maybe, we can set a trap."
Anxiel glanced at the dying poor poisonous bird, "In this way, no matter whether it is a female fire dragon or something else, we can quickly knock it down and improve hunting efficiency.
As long as it is not a monster of the level of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, it should not have a chance to stand up again."
Gordon stroked his unshaven chin, "We don't have many traps with us, so we should use them sparingly. If we set a trap but nothing is attracted, it will be a waste.
Pork chop, Xianglan, get two stop insect cages."
"Okay meow."
"Got it meow~."
Gordon smiled and said to Anxiel, "There are many flash wing insects in this forest, which are renewable resources.
As for the traps and mechanisms, they have to be sent from the Star Base after they are used up, so we should save them as much as possible."
"Okay."
After Feng Ying opened the red shield and filled the bottles, the poisonous bird finally died.
Under Gordon's instructions, they deliberately cut several more holes in the body of the poisonous bird and cut open its belly.
The bloody smell in the forest suddenly became stronger.
Alva's method worked. Soon, the sky covered by the tree canopy was filled with the whistling of the airflow caused by the dragon's wings.
Hide.
Gordon gestured to his companions.
Alva went back to his bushes, and the others also found shelter.
The whistling sound of the airflow became heavier, and a huge green shadow covered with thorns fell from the gap between the tree canopies, with its wide wings waving rhythmically and slowly descending.
That was the queen of the land—the female fire dragon.
The dark yellow dragon eyes stared at the corpse of the poisonous bird on the clearing in the forest. The female fire dragon flying in the air seemed a little hesitant.
It followed the sound and smell.
If it happened to run into two large monsters fighting each other, it would be very happy, because that meant it could reap the benefits.
But there was only one corpse that had not been torn and eaten at the scene, and the "murderer" was nowhere to be found. This was very strange.
It felt a little uneasy.
At this moment, a small silver-white figure emerged from the ground next to the corpse of the poisonous bird.
"You are the one who meowed the queen meow?!"
Xianglan kicked the stop insect cage set here, and the insect cage was stimulated, and the stimulated flash wing insects burst into strong light.
The female fire dragon who was looking at this place was instantly dizzy and fell from the air with a miserable howl.
"Well done! Go up, go up!"
The hunters hiding in the grass behind the tree trunks rushed forward.
Feng Ying was the fastest. She pulled the silk and flew to the front of the female fire dragon's head.
I have an ice-attribute shield axe with a red shield and a full bottle, and here just happened to be a huge, dizzy, blinded, defenseless female fire dragon's head.
How could such a coincidence happen in the world?
"Unlock it!"
Followed by the real power slash and the air blade cut
Almost in the blink of an eye, the female fire dragon's head was already bloody.
"Roar, ah, ah, ah--!"
The female fire dragon replaced the poisonous bird, and the screams echoed in the forest.
Alva, who had developed an inertial thinking of protecting the ecology, closed one eye reluctantly, and wanted to see with the other eye whether the female fire dragon could last a few more minutes than the poisonous bird.
An Xier still didn't fire a shot.
He lowered the gun barrel and reminded loudly, "Take it easy! Don't kill it all at once, let it howl for a while, and attract the male fire dragon."
"Oh! That makes sense!"
"Okay, I'll go cut off its tail and save up the bottle again!"
"Then I'll also save up the sword energy."
Alva closed his other eye reluctantly.
The hunters who have lifted the restriction of the principle of "protecting the ecology" have completely become inhuman.
