Chapter 743: Pressure Increases
The huge roaring sound erupted almost a few meters in front of her. Feng Ying gritted her teeth and covered her ears tightly, but she was still dizzy.
Before her mind could fully recover, the dark beast lowered its head and rushed towards her.
At this time, she did not have many options to choose from. She was too late to run or dodge. She had to grit her teeth and smash the big shield on the ground, using the countless insect silks sprayed by the Kinsect to stabilize her defense and take the head-on attack.
"Bang!"
Under the head-on impact of the curved dragon horn, countless insect silks broke. For a moment, Feng Ying felt that her right arm holding the shield no longer belonged to her. The terrifying impact swept her whole body. She almost failed to defend herself in a hurry.
What kind of explosive power is this? !
There was no room for running at all. It launched a charge at a distance almost face to face. It was not even a dragon car. It was so powerful? !
The fully charged defense was completed reluctantly. Feng Ying, with her blood boiling, had no power to launch a counterattack. She endured the dull pain in her chest and turned to stare at the black horned dragon that rushed behind her.
Then she saw the thick tail with a huge tail hammer sweeping towards her.
She remembered what An Xier said not long ago, to use rolling and flying as little as possible, but now she couldn't care so much.
She suddenly flew forward and rolled, and the tail hammer that was bigger than her whole body swept across her back. After landing, Feng Ying didn't dare to get up immediately and continued to roll forward for a few circles.
——This is the experience she gained from hunting horned dragons alone.
The tail hammer of horned dragons is heavy, and it is easy to lose the center of gravity when swinging it on one side when standing, so their tail swings are usually swung left and right twice.
In addition to being more powerful and more irritable, the black horned dragon is essentially a horned dragon, and this habit is obviously the same.
The huge tail hammer swept back with a numbing whistle. If she had been in a hurry to get up just now, she would have been swung away at this time.
Although her combat experience was not as good as Gordon's, Feng Ying, who was definitely outstanding among the young hunters, knew very well that if she continued to passively defend and dodge, there would always be a time when she could not avoid it.
If there was no chance to open up a long enough distance, she had to find a way to counterattack and break the situation.
She rolled to close the distance, and while standing up, she swung her sword and slashed at the heel of the black-horned dragon. After slashing twice in a row, she immediately rolled on the ground to avoid the black-horned dragon's reflex kick.
Maka, who was supposed to harass the black-horned dragon from the side and rear, swung the insect stick and passed in front of the black-horned dragon. While quickly swinging the insect stick at the black-horned dragon's face, she kept her footsteps and jumped and moved around the horned dragon.
With the blessing of the monster essence extracted by the hunting insect, her speed was far beyond that of ordinary people. In the eyes of the black-horned dragon, she was like an annoying giant bee, whose attacks were not painful, but annoying.
"Roar--!" The black-horned dragon's attention was diverted.
Feng Ying, who was attacked continuously at the beginning, got a little respite as she looked a little embarrassed.
This is one of the duties of the shortstop. When the vanguard is in trouble for various reasons, they need to help distract the monsters with their speed and agility to help the vanguard regroup.
Feng Ying quickly drank a bottle of emergency medicine and a bottle of hardening medicine, and at the same time used the energy accumulated by the previous charging defense to open the red shield. Feng Ying, who was ready, rushed to the front of the black horned dragon again.
Maca exchanged glances with her and began to retreat.
Since the vanguard is ready, it's time to return to the original formation.
However, the black horned dragon was obviously not going to let go of the annoying fly in front of it so easily. It was about to turn its head, and Feng Ying, who was rushing close, had already inserted the sword into the shield. The sword and shield turned into a giant axe, and hit the black horned dragon's side face with a big blow.
"Roar, ow, ow, ow, ow——!"
The black horned dragon, who was already irritable and a little neurotic due to the influence of hormones, immediately responded with a horn.
Unlike many large monsters that just push forward with their horns, the horns of the horn dragon are amazing in terms of attack power and attack range.
The huge and heavy tail hammer now becomes a "counterweight". With its strong legs as a fulcrum, the black horn dragon suddenly raises its body, and its curved horns, which account for almost a quarter of its body length, sweep forward to pierce.
Feng Ying threw the Kinsect behind her without hesitation, pulling the insect silk and leaping up. Her body flipped in the air, and suddenly opened a distance of nearly ten meters, avoiding the first attack of the black horn dragon's horn.
After landing, she rolled again, dodging the second attack of the black horn dragon and beautifully resolved this wave of two consecutive horn attacks.
Maka, who was detouring behind the black horn dragon, saw this scene and was stunned for two seconds.
This was the first time she saw a "kinsect". After being shocked, she couldn't help but screamed: "What is that?! That's also a hunting insect? How can you, who uses a shield axe, fly better than me, who uses a bug gyroscope!?
It's unfair! Jiji! Why can't you spin silk? Why can't you take me flying! I want that kind of hunting insect too!"
"Jiji?" The hunting insect on Maka's arm cried out.
Her greatest strength, and the most core advantage, was inexplicably "stolen".
Those with large shields can fly with that kind of insect, so who can't fly? What is the meaning of the existence of the bug gyroscope?
The shock and self-doubt of the bug gyroscope user when facing the kinsect are difficult for other weapon users to understand, just like the double sword user found that everyone can turn into a ghost, and the great sword user found that everyone can charge and cut.
Gordon had similar self-doubts when he saw Hayata use Kamui Iai, but Kamui Iai is different from the charge slash of the great sword. Kamui Iai is based on the accumulation of "refining qi" and cannot be used frequently.
But Kinsects are different. In most cases, Kinsects are much more useful than the pole vault of the insect stick.
"Snap!"
"Ah, it hurts!"
A recovery bullet hit the back of Maca's head, hitting her and making her stagger. The green liquid made her shudder and come back to her senses.
Now is not the time to doubt life. Maca shook her head, ran again, and continued to fight guerrilla warfare.
I'll ask Feng Ying where I can get those cute little shiny insects later!
Feng Ying, who was fully engaged in dealing with the fierce attack of the black-horned dragon, had no time to care about Maca's entanglement. After the initial fluster, she got used to the attack rhythm of the black-horned dragon.
If you want to attack the gaps between attacks when fighting against a horned dragon, then when fighting against a black horned dragon, you can only find an opportunity to meet or counterattack while the opponent is attacking.
This is a skill that the upper vanguard must master.
An Xier in the distance calmly controlled the shooting rhythm, and constantly shifted his position, allowing the black horned dragon to focus more on Feng Ying in front.
Create a situation that is almost the same as "fighting alone".
He still likes Gordon's high-pressure growth theory of "try to run before you can walk".
But Gordon is always like this, strict with himself, but soft-hearted when it comes to Feng Ying. As long as he is on the scene, he will never let Feng Ying stand in the front and bear the heaviest pressure.
This won't work.
Looking at Feng Ying who was chased around by the black horned dragon, An Xier chuckled.
Why did he use Supernova at the beginning? It was to anger the black horned dragon and increase the pressure that Feng Ying needed to bear to the maximum at the first time.
Grow step by step? When will that little guy catch up with the three of them?
Ps. I have a friend who has been playing the bug stick since 4. When he saw the MHR promotional video of Kinsect, he was dumbfounded.
