Chapter 857 The Queen Is Thinking
Although the mill could not be compared with the fortress wall, the miller hired someone to build it carefully with bricks, stones and wooden beams, so it was solid and sturdy.
But in front of the mysterious ancient dragon, with just one claw, the mill was shattered into ruins, and the windmill made of wood and canvas was also broken into several pieces.
Old Elu, who witnessed all this, drooped his ears, looked as if he was dead, and quietly left.
Pork Chop wanted to comfort the miller, but it was a pity that now was not the time.
The claw of the mysterious ancient dragon that crushed the mill reminded it of the incomplete scratch in the ruins of the East Doruma Arsenal.
Hayata's guess was right, and Gordon's analysis and judgment were even more correct. The attacker was indeed a super giant ancient dragon with a head and body length of more than 50 meters and could fly.
It was outrageous, but the reality of nature is so outrageous.
Shaking his head to get rid of distracting thoughts, Pig Chop whispered to the hunters who had hidden themselves in the bushes: "Eat it, meow! Start eating it, meow! It turns out that it really eats gunpowder, meow!"
After destroying the mill, the mysterious ancient dragon casually shoveled it twice, just like opening the cover of a dinner plate, and easily opened the underground warehouse.
The pungent smell of barrels of gunpowder and sulfur satisfied it.
It stuck its triangular sharp head into the underground warehouse, and its tongue covered with black and sticky grease stuck out, licking the barrels of gunpowder and sulfur into its mouth.
"Gu Hu——"
The mysterious ancient dragon made a dull nasal sound, like the satisfied sigh of people when they tasted delicious food.
Thanks to the activeness of the Dragon Knowledge Ship, the mysterious ancient dragon was led here, and the battle plan was back on track. It seems to be quite successful at the moment. The mysterious ancient dragon swallowed the gunpowder in big mouthfuls and did not seem to be suspicious.
Perhaps it is a terrifying creature that has transcended the so-called ecological chain, and has no concept of "being victimized"?
Pig Chop thought darkly: If I have eight or ten portions of dragon-killing carbon, and trick it into eating it, how can I be afraid that it won't explode to death?
Swallowing sounds were heard constantly, and President Zhe Luo lowered his voice and asked Pig Chop, "It eats very quickly, it will probably finish in a few minutes. How long will it take for it to explode? Can you think of a way to make it explode earlier?"
"What are you thinking about, meow? How can there be such a way?" Pig Chop muttered, and took out a sealed small glass bottle with a small burning incense stick in it.
"When this is burned, meow, the time will be almost right, meow."
"So that's it, I understand."
"Look! What is it doing?!" A hunter exclaimed in a low voice.
It was not only gunpowder and sulfur that were moved to the mill warehouse as bait and stored, but also some scrap weapons, metal objects such as workshop scraps.
The previous two attacks proved that the mysterious ancient dragon also loved these metal objects, perhaps they were also part of its diet?
But the scene that happened at the moment overturned their judgment.
After eating the gunpowder, the mysterious ancient dragon continued to roll up the iron objects with its tongue covered with sticky black oil, but did not eat them. Instead, it stuck them to its wings, claws and back.
The night was dark, and they stared for a long time with the moonlight that came out of the clouds. They could barely see clearly that the strange spikes all over the mysterious ancient dragon were not biological matter such as bone armor thorns.
Instead, they were countless metal weapons firmly attached to the body by semi-solidified black oil shells like asphalt.
It was a thick armor formed by a layer of black oil sticking to the iron objects, making this extremely terrifying super giant ancient dragon look even more hideous and weird.
"Look at the thorn on its back!" The upper hunting horn made Dorothy try to lower her voice, but she couldn't hide the astonishment in her tone, "I thought it was a bone thorn or something, but it's not! It's a dragon-striking spear! It should be the one that was lost in Dongdoruma!"
"***" Asa couldn't help but swear, "Really, it pierced from the side ribs, drilled out from the spine, and completely penetrated the chest. It's still alive? It can still move normally?
Such a thick iron spear head full of barbs pierced through the chest cavity. Does it have no sense of pain at all?"
The hunters were in doubt, but the mysterious ancient dragon had swallowed up the accumulated gunpowder and sulfur in just a few minutes, and all the metal parts were licked away by it and stuck to its body, leaving only an empty warehouse covered with disgusting black oil.
"Be quiet, hold on!" President Zhe Luo roared.
They hoped that the mysterious ancient dragon, who had eaten and drunk enough, would turn around and leave, but unfortunately, it didn't.
After rummaging through the empty underground warehouse for a few more times and confirming that there was no food left, the mysterious ancient dragon stood up and turned to look in the direction of the Metabetat wall.
There might be more food there.
It took a step.
"Damn it, I knew it wouldn't be that simple!" It was meaningless to hide now. President Zhe Luo took the lead and jumped out of the bushes where he was hiding, blocking the middle of the road leading to the city gate.
The rest of the elite hunters also rushed out. They did not gather together, but dispersed in various directions to surround the mysterious ancient dragon.
The mysterious ancient dragon seemed to have not seen them at all, and stepped forward with its six alien limbs covered with black oil.
When it came to the huge burning fire, its steps paused.
The extremely strong wing limbs exerted force suddenly, and the huge body weighing thousands of tons actually jumped dozens of meters, crossed the fire, and jumped out of the hunters' encirclement.
"Boom boom!"
The ground shook violently like an earthquake, making it unstable to stand.
"Attack! Stop it!" Zhe Luo raised the silver hammer and roared.
Asa and other swordsmen rushed forward with their weapons, and the archers also deployed their crossbows and fired at full force.
"The gunpowder in its stomach will explode in twenty minutes. We must not let it get close to the city wall before that!"
The distance between the mill and the city wall was not too far, only one or two kilometers.
The earth-shaking impact and the roar of the breath explosion could be heard clearly on the city wall.
Standing on the city wall, you can even see the elite hunters fighting with the terrifying ancient dragon.
Gordon clenched the hilt of the greatsword.
To be honest, he was pessimistic about whether President Zhe Luo and Mr. Asa could stop the mysterious ancient dragon.
It's not that he didn't trust their strength.
The experience of fighting against Laoshan Dragon and Lingshan Dragon made him understand that when fighting against such super-giant ancient dragons, the strength of individual hunters is no longer important.
Only specially established fortresses and fortifications can stop their advance.
The only thing that President Zhe Luo and his men can do now is to delay time. If they can delay until the gunpowder in the ancient dragon explodes, there will be a chance.
"Shua——"
The sound of a sharp object breaking the wind came, Gordon turned and slid, avoiding the knife arm that the mantis smashed, and then rushed to the mantis' chest, carrying the big sword and quickly charging.
The mantis tried to retract the knife arm to fight back, but was disrupted by Hayata's strong combo. Gordon took the opportunity to complete the charging and swung the big sword.
Strong charging and slashing!
"Jijia——"
The mantis screamed and retreated. At this time, its thoracic head section was full of scars from sword slashing. On the thick abdominal section, traces of water flow and electric shock, as well as bullet holes drilled into by crossbow bullets, can be seen everywhere.
As a creature with extremely high IQ and a considerable degree of intelligence, the mantis queen is thinking at this time.
The disadvantage of fighting away from home was too obvious. Not to mention building a ruined city with mechanical behemoths, even the only weapon that could be used was the dragon-slaying spear that he carried with him.
He could not exert half of his strength.
He had originally thought well, following the mysterious ancient dragon to take advantage, and when the latter collapsed the city wall, the materials for building the ruined city would be ready.
When he built the ruined city, he would not be afraid of anyone in a head-on confrontation, and he could also snatch more spoils from the ancient dragon's mouth.
As a result, he seemed to have shown up too early, and underestimated the strength of these two-legged creatures.
This could not go on.
The dark insect pupils turned left and right, and the mantis leaped back suddenly to open up a long distance, and the glands in the abdomen sprayed a large amount of sticky silk to slow down the hunters' approach.
At the same time, he swung the dragon-slaying spear and smashed it hard on the city wall.
"Boom!"
Under the bombardment of the steel dragon-slaying spear, several huge cracks appeared on the city wall.
The mantis moved its legs quickly, wandering around, trying to keep a distance from the two swordsmen chasing it, while swinging the dragon-striking spear again and smashing the city wall.
"Boom!"
The cracks on the city wall became more and more.
