Chapter 862: Insect Silk Entanglement

"You should retreat first, we can't help you in this state." Anhil glanced at the Metabet hunters who were fighting with the mysterious ancient dragon.

Of the dozen or so four-star or above elite hunters who blocked the mysterious ancient dragon, only five or six were still standing at this time.

These people said that all the injuries were minor. One of the dual-sword wielders broke an arm and did not quit the battle even though he was holding the sword in one hand. It is easy to imagine how much combat power he still had.

The burns were even more serious.

After the dragon flame breath mixed with black oil explodes, the flames splashed on the body will continue to burn and penetrate into the gaps in the armor.

Some hunters whose armor was not resistant to fire had to take off their armor and throw it away to avoid being burned alive.

Even the hair becomes fuel for the fire.

The high-ranking whistler named Dorothy had almost half of her long hair burnt bald, and her cheeks were covered with burn marks of blackened fluid, which would leave quite conspicuous burn scars even after they healed.

This was because she had used a knife to cut off her hair in time, otherwise the result might have been even worse.

"I'm the only one here who's in good condition." Asa, the sword wielder, pulled the hunters in front of him away.

The defensive performance and flame resistance of his black-horned dragon armor are outstanding, coupled with the skills and experience of the seven-star hunter, although he has been fighting on the front line, he is in the best condition.

"Dorothy, lead the president and others to retreat. Leave this to us."

Having said that, Asa began to quicken his pace and joined the battle group of Gordon Hayata and Ge Mantis.

President Zheluo was holding a sledgehammer that he could hardly lift. He glanced at the hunters around him who were almost unsteady and his shoulders slumped a little. "Let's retreat."

Dorothy gritted her teeth and waved her hunting flute. After playing the last piece of protective music, she and the other hunters helped each other and left.

Anhir secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The spirit of these local hunters to protect their hometown is admirable, but they have already reached their limit, and if they insist on staying, they will only become a burden.

Next, there was a battle between the few of them.

Asa fluttered to avoid the oncoming dragon-shooting spear, rolled continuously, and avoided the subsequent attacks. Asa stood up quickly with a dark expression on his face.

He finally understood the difficulty of the guy in front of him.

Not to mention the mechanical behemoth that can stand up to the mysterious ancient dragon head-on, even in its true form, Mantis Mantis, which simultaneously controls two dragon-striking guns and a large city gate shield, is extremely tricky.

Multitasking is its specialty. This guy's strength is completely proportional to the quantity and quality of the "weapons" around him.

When there was only one dragon gun, Gordon and Hayata could suppress it by working together. With the addition of a steel city gate as a shield, it would be difficult to suppress it.

With two dragon-shooting guns and shields, it was difficult for the three high-ranking swordsmen to even get close to Ge Mantis.

A breakthrough must be found.

Gordon thought the same thing.

Perhaps because his attack power was the strongest, Ge Mantis specially used the large shield made of the city gate to deal with him. It blocked him wherever he went, which was a headache.

"Try to switch positions frequently!" Gordon shouted.

Whether it is the dragon-shooting gun or the steel city gate, they are controlled by Mantis with multiple strands of silk threads. By repeatedly moving around and changing positions, these threads may be entangled together.

Hayata immediately understood what Gordon was thinking. Although Asa failed to figure out the reason for doing so at the first time, this did not prevent him from executing it.

He is not the kind of person who is very "addicted to his seniors" and feels that listening to his juniors is tantamount to losing face.

Gordon's current strength is not inferior to him, and Silverbian is the only team that has dealt with Ge Mantis. As a temporary combat force, it makes sense to follow the command.

The three of them maintained their offensive posture while frequently staggering and changing positions.

The results of this strategy are almost immediate.

Gordon and Hayata passed by each other, and the dragon gun and steel city gate chasing them suddenly lost control and fell to the ground.

The threads were entangled together, and even the mantis couldn't untie them immediately.

Upon seeing this, Gordon and Hayata immediately changed their direction of action and rushed towards the Mantis not far away.

The mantis tugged at its legs, trying to control the remaining dragon-shooting gun to defend itself.

Asa immediately rushed forward as if he was desperate, raised his sword to block the dragon-shooting spear, and even though the man and his sword were thrown away, he successfully created a loophole for the other two.

The [Divine Power] sword and the night sword [Moon Shadow] slashed at the vital parts of the Mantis's head and chest one after another. The pain caused the Mantis to let out ear-piercing screams, and it swung its sickle-shaped blade arm to fight back.

Hayata immediately raised the sword, flicked the arm of the sword at a subtle angle, slashed the sword vertically, and drove back the mantis.

The mantis hissed and swung his other blade arm towards her again, as if he wanted to cut her in half.

This time, Hayata did not use the strong air blade to parry, but stabbed the sword straight. The moment the sword tip hit the chest of Ge Mantis, he jumped up, avoided the horizontal slash of the sword arm, and slashed from mid-air. Down.

Air blade cutting!

"Jiiya——!"

The mantis screamed in pain, and a huge incision nearly two meters long was cut from its head to its thorax. The legs supporting its body couldn't help but soften, and it fell to the ground.

"pretty!"

While Hayata and Ge Mantis were fighting each other, Gordon chewed a strange power pill, swung his sword to stir up fighting spirit, and activated the beast soul possession. His whole body was filled with scarlet arrogance mixed with the armor's dragon aura, surging like a raging flame.

Then, he condensed and compressed his fighting energy and began to prepare for the true charged attack.

Asa, who was running back from a distance with potions in his hands, was shocked when he saw Gordon's appearance. "Young people nowadays, how much stuff do they have to pile on themselves."

"Drink!"

Gordon roared and brought down his strongest sword.

He was confident that if this sword hit the target, the claw blade of the Absolute Great Sword [Divine Power] would definitely be able to tear off the small mantis head!

Unfortunately, even though it was chopped down to the ground by Hayata, the mantis's reaction was still amazingly fast.

Without time to make more responses, it propped up its blade arm and moved back slightly.

The claw blade made of the claws of the Great Boom Dragon passed in front of it and finally landed on its thorax, tearing open a large piece of carapace, and almost broke the not-so-thick thorax with one blow, and the emerald green insect blood spurted out.

This was a nearly fatal blow.

However, the unique tenacious vitality of the beetle species allowed it to hold on.

Stimulated by the severe pain, the mantis almost bounced up from the ground, and countless silk threads sprayed out from the glands in its abdomen and tail, entangled everything around it.

The hunters were inevitably covered with some sticky silk threads. In order to avoid more and more silk threads and completely lose the ability to move, they had to retreat temporarily.

More silk threads fell on the ruins where the fire was not yet extinguished. Many were scorched by the flames, but some successfully entangled those heavy parts.

Feeling the threat to its life, it was ready to forcibly pull up the ruins!

Zhuchop rushed over and threw a few incendiary bombs to attract the monsters' attention at the hunters.

Fortunately, the flame resistance of the three people's armor was not bad. With the help of these incendiary bombs, they quickly broke free from the restraints of the silk threads.

"It's very weak!" Gordon shouted: "The speed of the mechanical behemoth is much slower than before! Stop it before the ruins are pulled up!"

"Boom!"

At this moment, a more than one-meter-high, streamlined bomb bay fell more than ten meters away from them.

Gordon's eyes twitched.

He recognized that this was a rocket for support and supply from the Dragon Knowledge Ship.

Why don't we ask you to deliver supplies now? !

"Hiss--"

Amid the sound of airflow, the rocket's thick bomb bay split into two halves and popped open. There were no supplies inside, only a red and black sword inserted vertically there.

It was Hayata's flying dragon sword [Black Jade].

"Ha!" Gordon couldn't help but laugh.

Those scholars' brains were really fast. The fire-attributed flying dragon sword [Black Jade] might be used to attack the body of the mantis, and the effect might be average, but if it was used to cut and destroy the silk, the effect would definitely be first-class.

"Hayata!"

"Understood!" Hayata ran to the supply warehouse, grabbed the flying dragon sword [Black Jade], and then rushed at full speed towards the slowly constructed ruins city.

Gordon and Asa charged at the mantis that was trying to pull and manipulate the silk.

Whether it was cutting off the silk or dealing with the main body, the mechanical beast must not be allowed to take shape again!
