Chapter 766: Waiting for a Long Time

The sword once again collided with the wing blade. After deflecting and unloading the attack of the Moon Swift Dragon, Hayata felt a little relieved.

As a rare species of Swift Dragon, the advantage of the Moon Swift Dragon is mainly reflected in its elusive stealth ability and its fur and shell that are much tougher than the original species.

With the sharpness of her night sword [Moon Shadow] White Slash, it was actually unable to successfully break through the defense of the Moon Swift Dragon's forelimbs, and the blade was bounced off.

In comparison, the power of the Moon Swift Dragon can only be said to be mediocre. It may be stronger than the original Swift Dragon, but it is also limited.

This is very good news.

The sword is a purely offensive weapon. It does not have a shield like a gun lance, nor can it block and defend like a great sword.

Facing the attack of the monster, there are only two options: dodge and parry to unload the attack.

If the opponent's prey is too strong, it is not so easy to unload the attack with the thin and slender sword of the sword. If you can only dodge, there will be too few tactical options.

Now, maybe we can try a head-on fight, which will create a better attack window for the two archer companions.

After swinging the blade and slashing out two swords quickly, leaving two different wounds on the head of the Moon Swift Dragon, Hayata's attack slowed down a little and she was not greedy for the sword.

Seeing the muscles of the Moon Swift Dragon's forelimbs tense, she immediately stepped forward, and her feet flashed back three or four meters as if springs were installed.

After avoiding the Moon Swift Dragon's slap and grab, she did not pause at all and raised her blade to fight back.

The sword and the claws of the Moon Swift Dragon that followed closely collided with each other.

The upward thrust is not a suitable action for exerting force. Although this sword is abrupt and sharp, it cannot compete with the claws that are swung violently. The power of the Moon Swift Dragon's attack obviously has the upper hand.

The sword was slapped away by it, but it didn't matter.

This head-on battle made Hayata's momentum rise rapidly.

The extremely sensitive Moon Swift Dragon noticed this and was shocked. This monster, which was cunning and cautious to an exaggerated degree, did not choose to pursue, but leaped to the side.

The dark blue body was like salt sprinkled into the water, blending into the moonlight and mist and disappearing.

Hayata, whose momentum had just been raised and lost her opponent, had her fighting rhythm interrupted, and she felt very uncomfortable.

She knew that the Moon Swift Dragon had not left yet, but was hidden in the mist, ready to launch a surprise attack at any time, so she sheathed her sword and raised her full attention to be alert to the attack that might come at any time.

"Seven o'clock!"

Gail's reminder suddenly came, and there was also a roar of a series of crossbow bullets.

Hayata turned around quickly, and an illusory figure that was invisible to the naked eye appeared from the mist and rushed towards her.

She did not dodge, but strode forward, turned around and swung the blade to meet the attack.

Iai!

The two crossed each other, and as Hayata turned and rushed forward, the wing blade of the Moon Swift Dragon fell into the air, and the sword wrapped with sharp sword energy cut a large area of ​​fine knife marks on the soft flesh of its waist.

"Wow~!" Gale made a strange cry that might be in admiration, and quickly turned the muzzle.

The Moon Swift Dragon, who was injured in the waist and missed the target, staggered to the ground. This flaw was very short, but it was enough for an excellent archer.

A series of penetrating bullets fell on the head of the Moon Swift Dragon like heavy rain. The wounds caused by these crossbow bullets were not large, but very, very deep. The pointed cone-shaped bullets were stuck deep in the muscles and even on the bones, causing the Moon Swift Dragon to roar in pain.

At the same time, an arrow as thick as a short spear came from the dark.

With the help of gunpowder, the dragon arrow, with bursts of sharp whistles, deeply penetrated the soft part of the Moon Swift Dragon's flank that was not covered by the carapace bristles.

The more than one-meter-long arrow body was almost completely immersed.

"Gayaaaa——!"

"Wow, she screamed so miserably." Feng Ying looked back, "So don't mess with women, especially female hunters."

An Xier glanced at her.

She said this as if you were not a woman or a hunter.

"Focus, we are approaching the ancient tower." Gordon, who was running at the front of the team, reminded.

Feng Ying quickly withdrew her attention from the battlefield in the distance and became alert to the surroundings.

The so-called ancient tower ruins are not just a single tower, but a group of ruins covering several square kilometers.

The area where Hayata and others fought was outside the ruins.

In addition to the ancient tower in the central area, a large number of ancient architectural remains such as stone pillars, giant stone gates, and stone bridges can be seen in the ruins.

It is hard to guess what kind of place this was during the ancient civilization.

The ancient tower is already in front of us, and it was not until this time that the hunters realized how huge this ruins was.

Not to mention the tower top that was so deep in the clouds that you couldn't see the end when you looked up, even running around the bottom of the tower would probably take a lot of time.

Gordon suddenly raised a fist, and the team of three stopped.

"Stay alert and take a break." Gordon looked up at this ancient giant tower that could not be built with current technology, and the sense of depression in his heart was indescribable.

What kind of existence lives in it?

Although he was depressed, Gordon stopped not because of this.

He came to a broken stone pillar near the entrance of the ancient tower, on which there was a message left by Pig Chop with charcoal.

An Xier also noticed this, but did not rush over. Instead, he pressed the curious Feng Ying together and kept alert around.

Soon, Gordon, with a slightly weird look on his face, came back.

"What's the situation?" An Xier asked.

"Zhu Chop said he saw a Qilin on the bottom floor, which means you should not enter directly from the bottom floor entrance, but take the stone steps outside to go around."

"Qilin?!"

An Xier looked surprised, "There is a Qilin on the first floor? What kind of ghost things will be on it?"

"I don't know."

Gordon looked up again and looked at the ancient tower.

The ancient tower was built on a very large, layered foundation stone platform. There is an entrance at the bottom of the stone platform. You can enter directly or climb up the stone platform through the steps and cross the bottom floor built inside the stone platform.

"Are you sure it is the message left by Zhu Chop?" An Xier seemed a little suspicious because of what happened before.

"Well, I still recognize its handwriting. There is a simple cat face at the end. That is its usual signature."

"Okay."

An Xier looked at the dark entrance at the bottom of the stone platform vigilantly, fearing that a few thunders would suddenly strike from inside.

"Let's go, climb the stairs and talk about it after we get on the stone platform. Stay alert."

Having made up his mind, Gordon stopped dawdling and led his companions away from the bottom entrance of the stone platform. He stepped on the slippery stone steps that had long been covered with moss and climbed up step by step.

The stone platform as the base of the ancient tower covers a large area, but the height is not too exaggerated and not too steep. After a few minutes, the hunters came to the top of the stone platform.

Knowing that there were unicorns in the vicinity, the hunters were very nervous.

Gordon, who was the first to reach the top of the stone platform, looked around and wanted to find the entrance of the ancient tower as soon as possible and enter it to avoid more trouble.

Then his expression froze.

On the stone platform, a purple-black monster with a chilling cold air all over its body was standing there quietly, staring at them with pure red eyes, as if it had been waiting for a long time.
