Chapter 1432 Snowflakes Sleep
(Many readers asked why there were so many deleted floors in the comment area yesterday. In fact, it was due to maintenance in the comment area, so there were many empty floors)
For the first time in a long time, the three hunting groups of Silver Edge, Pen Point, and Alcohol were dispatched at the same time.
In fact, the core of this step of the operation is only the Silver Border Hunting Group, to be precise, only Gordon and Feng Ying.
The others have only one mission, to provide cover for the two of them and ensure the smooth operation.
The hunters rushed in at a low altitude on pterosaurs, bypassing the area where the ancient dragons frequently fought, and arrived at the ice and snow area in the northwest corner of the Guiding Land.
The forest area and land coral area that had long since turned into a mess no longer looked like their original prosperity.
At first glance, the ice and snow zone does not seem to have changed much.
But if you look closely, you can see that most of the originally thick snow has melted away, leaving only the last thin layer.
Those glaciers are still standing there, but under the constant attack of violent storms, they are no longer as sharp-edged and crystal clear as before.
The hunters landed on a patch of snow.
Underfoot was damp snow that had turned into ice, and dark gray rocks were exposed.
Gordon looked at the surrounding environment and made a gesture.
Julius and Ted nodded, dispersed with their respective teams, and hid nearby.
The four people on the silver side continued to move forward.
Not too far ahead is the lair of the ice dragon.
Yes, they were here to cause trouble for the ice dragon, but making trouble was not a "purpose" but a "means".
The four of them came to a huge cave.
In the ice and snow area where the snow has melted and the glaciers have melted, this cave is the only one that still remains filled with freezing air.
At the entrance of the cave, Gordon paused, "After so many days of melee, the guy is probably not in a good mood. Be prepared for a fight."
Ancier loaded the crossbow shells, and several others also pulled the weapon handles to the most convenient position for activation.
Taking a deep breath of the cold air that numbed his throat, Gordon took the lead and walked lightly into the cave.
The guide insects in the guide insect cage flew out and converged into a fluorescent blue light path, extending deep into the cave.
In fact, even without the guidance of a guide insect, it is not difficult for hunters to find the location of the ice dragon.
——Just go in the coldest direction.
Passing through a frost-covered tunnel, a figure that seemed to be carved out of ice and glass appeared in the sight of the hunters.
It was nesting quietly in a frozen clearing.
Sleeping like snowflakes.
Compared with the majestic and gorgeous appearance before the melee broke out, the Ice Dragon now looks a little embarrassed.
The scales formed by the frozen lava were damaged in many places, including claw and tooth marks, as well as traces of flames and electric current.
The side of his body was a mess of blood and flesh. Judging from the marks that looked like the reamer had been cut, it looked like he had been hit by the steel dragon's wind bullet breath.
Even the extremely sharp ice blade tail was broken into half.
"It's a bit miserable." Feng Ying rubbed her hands like a fly, "Master Gordon, give it a hard blow!"
She is very self-aware, and when Gordon is around, it is usually not her turn to sleep.
Gordon also felt itchy.
There is a big head in front of me, and I happen to have a big sword. How could there be such a coincidence in this world?
However, his hands were itchy, so Gordon still didn't pull out the [immovable] sword behind him.
The purpose of their trip was not to hunt the ice dragon in front of them.
Every ancient dragon is an important combat force that can bring trouble to the "Dragon King".
If it weren't for the fact that it was difficult for the ancient dragon to communicate in an angry state, he would have even wanted to pour a few more bottles of recovery medicine on the Ice Dragon's wounds to help them heal, and then let them go to the Valley of Silence to surprise the Red Dragon. .
"Remember our purpose, self-preservation is the main priority, and get ready to start."
After reminding his companions, to be precise, he reminded Feng Ying.
Gordon came to the sleeping ice dragon head and pulled down his visor.
A powerful enemy is right in front of him, and [Crazy Pattern] can no longer hold it any longer, and his desire to attack madly impacts Gordon's spirit repeatedly.
Gordon grinned, then lifted the restraints completely.
The next second, the violent aura belonging to the World-Destroying Nergigante exploded like a ignited bomb.
The sleeping Ice Dragon suddenly opened his eyes. Even though his thinking was still unclear, his body started to move reflexively.
It jumped up with all its limbs, waving its wings, and leaped back tens of meters.
"Very alert."
Gordon held the hilt of the sword, but had no intention of rushing forward immediately.
So does everyone else.
The real purpose of this operation is to attract the Nergigante to appear.
After all, it doesn't have its own territory and relatively fixed lair like the other ancient dragons, so it's not easy to find it.
Instead of wandering around like a headless fly, it is better to use the aura that stimulates [Crazy Pattern] to attract it.
As for why the Ice Dragon was chosen as the "introducer", the reason was also very simple.
The Ice and Snow Zone is located in the northwest corner of Guiding Land, closest to the direction of Silent Valley.
After the Nergigante finds it, you can directly lead it out to sea without having to cross the territory of other ancient dragons in the Guiding Lands and cause unnecessary trouble.
Of course, Ice Dragon would not understand these twists and turns.
All it knew was that a few small things that looked inconspicuous but had quite astonishing auras sneaked into its lair while it was sleeping.
It's obviously up to no good!
"Hey——!"
Amid the piercing scream, the layers of ice ridges covered its body, forming a gorgeous ice armor.
The hazy white mist spread, and the temperature in the cave suddenly dropped a lot.
Even though they drank hot drinks in advance, the hunters still felt their hands and feet become numb.
"This guy is indeed much more powerful than the previous Ice Curse Dragon." After a casual comment, Gordon turned around and waved his hand, "Retreat!"
Since the purpose is just to delay time and wait for the Exterminating Dragon to appear, then naturally they can't entangle with the Ice Curse Dragon in such a small and closed cave.
As the freezing air spreads, the temperature in the cave drops further, and the impact of the cold will become more and more serious.
Those huge ice ridges rising from the ground are also constantly occupying the already narrow space in the cave.
Perhaps it won't be long before they will be completely trapped in this cave.
Once outside the cave, there was no need to worry about these things. The only disadvantage was that in an open-air environment, if the Ice Curse Dragon wanted to leave, they could not stop it, and the risk of other monsters intruding would also increase.
Fortunately, this had no effect on their plan.
The Ice Curse Dragon angrily chased the hateful hunters who woke it up and turned around and ran away.
Flying in the cave was not very convenient, but the Ice Curse Dragon's four-legged running posture was also flexible and swift. Coupled with the influence of ice and snow on the ground, the hunters were about to be caught up.
Hayata and Ansir suddenly stopped and turned to face the chasing Ice Curse Dragon.
Ansir deployed the King Fang Cannon [Thunder] and pulled the trigger continuously.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The shotgun was fired continuously, and countless fragments of shrapnel were like an invisible wall, blocking the Ice Curse Dragon's pursuit.
The relatively vulnerable head and chest area was hit by several shots in succession. The Ice Curse Dragon roared, and covered its wings covered with ice armor in front of its body to block the shotgun attack.
Ice chips flew everywhere.
Ansir didn't care, and emptied the shotgun in the magazine in one breath.
While he was changing the magazine and the firepower stopped, Hayata approached the side of the Ice Curse Dragon and launched a strong attack.
"Li--!"
The roar of the Ice Curse Dragon came from behind, and Gordon and Feng Ying ran out of the cave at full speed without looking back.
Just as they were about to move forward to the open area where the snow had almost melted, a dark giant shadow covered with thorns fell in front of them with a roar.
"Roar, ah-ah--!!"
Gordon smiled and held the hilt of the sword, pulling out the [Immovable] greatsword.
"Wow, it came so quickly this time."
