Chapter 753 Kill It
This large tribe named Zhi, which has been passed down for many years and has a long history, has encountered an unprecedented disaster.
The dragon fell to the ground, and the dragon's scales flashed with magnificent light with its wingspan of dozens of meters. Its claws reached down and easily crushed an entire house, and its wings were raised, and heavy stones flew up like cotton wool.
The dragon's mouth opened wide, and a stream of lightning spurted out of its mouth.
In an instant.
A whole row of houses exploded.
The people in the tribe who were very close to the dragon hid in the corners of the wall in fear, and they didn't even dare to escape. They could only hide in the house or under the shelter, for fear that the terrible monster would discover them.
And those who were unfortunately killed were scattered on the ground, unable to move. The moment the thunder and fire from the sky covered them, they also took their lives.
There were also warriors in the tribe who were not completely frightened by the appearance of the dragon. Seeing the scene of corpses everywhere, seeing their relatives and brothers and sisters die one by one under the dragon's mouth.
At this moment.
They did not think of retreating, but a surge of blood and courage in their hearts.
"Kill it."
"This monster, drive it out."
"Let it die, and avenge everyone."
Their eyes were bloodshot, holding knives, guns, stone tools, or even a wooden stick and shouting.
Even if they knew they were no match for the dragon, they still rushed forward foolishly, and they had to defend their homes and loved ones at all costs.
But most of them were blown away by the strong wind raised by the dragon's wings before they got close, and were smashed by the sharp claws. They didn't even touch the opponent, and fell to the ground and turned into a pool of rotten meat.
A few people took advantage of the gap to rush to the front of the dragon and slashed their weapons at the dragon.
But the steel-like scales rebounded their attacks and shook them back.
They couldn't even leave a scratch on the opponent's body, and were blown to pieces by a flash of lightning.
"Roar!"
The dragon roared and flew up again.
The dragon hovered low over the house, as if it was flying and patrolling freely in its own territory. Its figure flashed quickly, with a dexterity that was inconsistent with its huge body, and its eyes were fixed on everyone below.
"The dragon is coming."
"It saw us."
"Run, it's catching up."
Everyone was terrified. Some people shouted to run, but their bodies ran slower and slower, and finally collapsed to the ground.
They were motionless, becoming livestock that could be slaughtered by the monster.
But this time, the dragon used a different ability.
Between its claws, crackling lightning was released.
Between the flashes of lightning, it turned into a huge net, which stunned all the people who were fleeing below.
Occasionally, it would fall to the ground and swallow one of them into its stomach, just like picking and choosing at a meat stall.
But strangely, in addition to targeting people, it would also pick up some items in the tribe.
The people who escaped from the tribe also looked back and noticed the strangeness of the dragon.
"What is it doing?"
"I don't know, what exactly is it doing?"
"Is it eating black iron?"
Its target is not only people, but also those utensils made of metal called black iron.
"Crackle, crackle, crackle!"
It chewed those iron utensils, as if it was tasting and enjoying unprecedented delicacies.
There are obviously hundreds or thousands of people in the tribe, and the dense figures seem to surround the dragon from all directions, but it strolls leisurely in the tribe and hunts in the tribe without any care.
The whole tribe is like a huge dining table, it eats slowly and picks slowly.
Everyone is very angry and desperate when they see this scene, because they can't resist.
The moment the bearded merchant living on the edge of the tribe saw the dragon, he immediately ran back to the room. He picked up the child without saying anything, and then called the woman to run with him quickly.
"Go, run quickly."
The members of the caravan living nearby were also awakened, and the bearded merchant shouted at them at the door.
"Everyone go to the entrance, run into the Full Moon Forest, run to where there are many trees."
"Don't go to the open area, don't gather with large groups of people."
The members of the caravan immediately obeyed the order without any hesitation.
The bearded merchant turned around and saw the woman looking for something.
The woman said: "Mask, put on the mask."
The bearded man grabbed her and said: "Don't look for it, it's a dragon coming, it's useless to wear anything, wearing a mask may attract it."
The bearded man rode the earth dragon beast with the woman and the child to the entrance of the tribe, and then led everyone to run towards the Full Moon Forest.
The bearded man ran in the front and shouted behind him.
"Everyone keep up, don't fall behind."
Perhaps they also felt the crisis of death, and the dragon beasts also ran desperately one by one, rushing into the distance.
Dragon, dragon man, dragon beast, it seems that there is a dragon in the word, as if they are of the same lineage.
But the dragon man does not admit that he has any relationship with the dragon beast. The dragon beast is the food of the dragon man, and the dragon man is also the food of the dragon.
Perhaps in the eyes of those high above, they are all part of this world, but they themselves have divided themselves into different levels.
The caravan ran in one direction, and before they knew it, many people were following behind. Everyone wanted to run to the forest and sheltered places, as if that small layer of shelter could protect them.
After running for a long time, they passed through a large forest and arrived at a hillside.
When the local dragon beasts could no longer run, even the bearded merchant thought they were completely safe.
Suddenly, a sound came from behind.
"Boom!"
It was the familiar thunder again. The bearded merchant turned his head in disbelief, his eyes filled with fear.
Before he spoke, those who followed him shouted.
"It's chasing us."
"There's light."
"It's the dragon, look, it's behind us."
"It's coming."
"It flies so fast, we can't run away."
"How did it find us? We ran so far."
"There are too many people, too many people on our side."
Everyone looked at the figure on the horizon. Like the thunder and fire it spit out, its speed was like a flash of lightning.
They couldn't understand why they were so unlucky. Some people even complained that there were too many people fleeing here, so they attracted the dragon.
Many people stood up and pulled up the dragon beasts to continue running, but with the targeted dragon roar, these exhausted dragon beasts seemed to be frightened by something, and they lay limp on the ground, not daring to get up.
Everyone stopped urging the dragon beasts and ran away directly with their legs.
However, the bearded man saw clearly that the dragon had locked their breath. How could their two legs outrun a flying dragon?
They hadn't run a few hundred meters before the other party flapped its wings.
If there was nothing to delay the dragon for a while, most of them, or even everyone, would die here.
"What should we do?"
The bearded man looked at the frightened women and children, as well as the members of the caravan.
Here were his children, as well as his friends and subordinates who had followed him for many years, and tribes after tribes that had followed him through the full moon land.
Everyone was looking at him, waiting for him to make a decision.
He was also very anxious and flustered, because the dragon was flying over, and every moment he thought was getting closer.
Suddenly, the bearded man had an idea.
He remembered that when he was in the Golden Tribe before, the breath left by the two-phase demon insect attracted the two-phase demon insect to come, which was a disaster like a death calamity for the Golden Tribe.
In the end, it was the power of Helfas that saved that disaster.
Of course, Helfas was far away at the other end of the Full Moon Forest at this moment, and distant water could not save a nearby fire.
But the bearded man could use the same method to attract the dragon's attention.
"Dragon incense."
He suddenly reached into his arms and touched the dragon incense that had lost its effect before he had time to light it.
At this moment, it seemed that it was not completely useless.
This dragon incense certainly could not dispel the dragon, but it should be able to attract the dragon's attention!
Thinking of this, the bearded merchant immediately asked the woman to take the child and the caravan to continue running, and he ran in the opposite direction alone.
"Run quickly, don't look back."
When the bearded man shouted this, he had already run far away.
The woman held the child and looked at the bearded merchant at a loss.
"What about you?"
"What are you doing?"
The bearded merchant shouted while running.
"Don't worry about it, I have thought of a way to stop the dragon."
"Trust me, you can survive if you run forward."
The bearded merchant rushed all the way from the hillside to the foot of the mountain.
Halfway through the run, he lit the dragon incense in his hand.
The billowing smoke spread out, and the small piece of dragon incense released far more smoke than it should have for its size. The smoke was not choking, but it made people feel dizzy.
The bearded merchant resisted the feeling, held it with a cloth and continued to run forward.
The movement in the sky became louder and louder, and he seemed to hear the dragon's wings flapping. He ran out of breath and looked up at the sky.
Smoke was lingering, and he broke through the cover of the tree shadows and came to an open area, as if he was afraid that the dragon could not see him.
"Come on!"
"Come here, come here."
Through the smoke.
The bearded merchant watched the shadow of the dragon cut through the night sky, fell from the sky, and slid to his right not far away.
The dragon looked at the billowing smoke in the jungle, and its body couldn't help but want to get closer to where the bearded merchant was.
Even, the bearded man saw that the terrible shadow turned its head and body around.
But at this time.
The dragon suddenly controlled itself.
Then, he gave up his main direction of running towards the crowd.
The bearded man stood on the ground, looking at the dragon, his eyes full of astonishment.
He lit the dragon incense to attract the other party's attention, but for some reason, the dragon let him go in the end.
But at this moment, he didn't feel the slightest bit of happiness, but a chill ran through his mind.
"Hey!"
"What are you doing?"
He stepped forward at a loss, his voice full of disbelief.
His voice was very small at first, but it became hoarse in an instant.
"I'm here, I'm here."
"I smell dragons and your breath here!"
"What are you doing?"
"I'm here!"
The bearded merchant watched the dragon still chasing the direction of the crowd's escape, not at all as he imagined, and his plan was completely declared a failure.
His eyes were bloodshot and he roared at the dragon.
"Stop."
But the dragon didn't care about his shouting at all, and rushed straight to the main direction of the crowd's escape.
The bearded merchant threw down the burning dragon incense and chased the dragon.
The previous burst of running had already exhausted him, and at this moment he didn't know where the strength came from in his body.
When the bearded merchant supported the tree and ran over exhausted.
All he saw was corpses everywhere.
There were dead dragon beasts and dragon people everywhere.
He saw the dragon standing in a charred jungle, with its head raised high in the jungle and looking at him.
He met the dragon's eyes.
At that moment, he couldn't move.
Standing under the dragon's gaze, he thoroughly felt the horror of this top predator and extraordinary monster. It didn't need to use any power, even its gaze was enough to destroy a person's mind and will.
He was completely unable to control his body, and could only hear his heart beating violently.
He even suspected that his heart was about to burst.
He thought he was going to die.
Just like everyone here, and his companions in the caravan.
But what he didn't expect in the end was that the dragon just looked at him from a distance and turned away.
Spread its wings and flew into the sky.
Throw him to the ground.
The moment the dragon shook its head, he could vaguely see something in the dragon's eyes that was incredible and unbelievable.
He saw disgust and disdain in the strange eyes of the dragon.
The other party seemed to hate the smell on him.
It was dawn.
A bearded man walked in the jungle, looking for something among the corpses and pieces of flesh and blood.
He seemed to have lost his mind, or his will was completely crushed. He kept wandering in the jungle, muttering.
"No!"
"No!"
"Where... where?"
But no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find what he wanted.
——
Black Iron Tribe.
Helfas was meeting a group of people in the hall of his residence, looking very busy.
He was counting and checking the seals owned by the tribe, and at the same time checking the conditions of the controllers of these seals.
"Very good, the situation is not bad." Helfas put a wooden spinning wheel seal on the table, and a woman took the seal down, respectfully.
"Don't use the seal recently, stay in the tribe and don't go out, do something else!" Then Helfas called another person, and after checking the other person's seal, he immediately frowned and said.
"You have a strong will, and you are indeed an outstanding demon hunter." A strong demon hunter with tattoos on his face came up. Helfas glanced at him and gradually showed an admiring expression.
Because five years ago, some people went crazy while using the seal.
Their minds were devoured by the monsters, and the monsters broke free from the seal, causing a great disaster.
It was Helfas who personally found the monsters that broke free from the seal and took back the out-of-control seal.
From then on, Helfas not only began to choose the controllers of the seals more carefully, but also began to check the mental conditions of these controllers every once in a while, and immediately deal with them once they were discovered in advance.
And everyone also knows that controlling the seals means not only having extraordinary power, but also wrestling with the will of the sealed monsters at all times, which is full of danger.
In the past six years, Helfas has also sealed several seals of the same level as the Face of the Two-Phase Demon Worm and the Pot of the Black Swamp, two of which Helfas left behind.
The others were basically given to the members of the Demon Hunter team, but the main strength of these seals is not in combat. Some can be used for defense, some can trap monsters, or other functions.
There are more seals of the next level, such as the oil bread tree and the lamp of the coward.
All these seals have been distributed, and some with strong life-assisting abilities are in the hands of a few craftsmen and agricultural officials in the tribe.
Helfas was very serious and checked these seals one by one.
Before he finished checking, someone suddenly rushed in. It was a member of the Demon Hunter team.
The captain of the Demon Hunter immediately shouted at him: "What are you doing so impatiently?"
Helfas raised his hand to stop the Demon Hunter captain who was a little irritable, and looked at the young man who broke in: "What happened, tell me!"
The man was panting and shouting in fear.
"Lord Helfas, the Zhi...Zhi tribe...is all finished."
"A dragon appeared outside the Full Moon Forest."
Everyone was very sensitive to the word dragon, and they all showed different expressions. It was a very powerful monster.
"Dragon?"
The first thing Helfas thought of was what happened in the mine recently. It must have been done by a powerful monster. And the appearance of a dragon at this time, could there be any connection?
He stood up and immediately made arrangements.
"Immediately enter alert status, double the number of patrols, and everyone else should not leave the tribe unless necessary."
Then, he immediately pointed to several of the controllers of the seals.
"You, you, you... and you..."
"Take some people with me and go to the Zhi tribe."
"By the way, in addition to the people in the demon hunting team, we must also prepare some supplies for the rescuers."
When Helfas rode the Earth Dragon Beast to the Zhi tribe outside the Full Moon Forest, he saw only devastation. The once prosperous and powerful tribe had become a ruin overnight, and most of the tribesmen were unknown whether they were alive or dead.
Only a small number of people returned from afar, and now they were wandering in the tribe like zombies.
When Helfas saw this scene, even though he was familiar with and understood that this was a cruel and dangerous world, he couldn't help showing a sad expression.
He looked at the people behind him and immediately gave orders.
"Go and help."
"Rescue the wounded and maintain order."
"Arrange a few people to cook. Everyone can calm down if they have food."
Helfas still has feelings for the Weaving Tribe, including many people from the Black Iron Tribe. They not only often deal with people from this tribe, but also have acquaintances. Some of them are even from the Weaving Tribe.
The people of the Black Iron Tribe immediately rushed down and followed Helfas's orders.
Helfas also walked into the Weaving Tribe. He looked at the traces left by the dragon and checked the conditions of the victims.
In addition to those whose bodies were torn to pieces, there were also people whose bodies were charred and who did not seem to have particularly obvious external injuries, but still died.
The traces of some of the bodies were very similar to those of those who died in the mine.
However, this time was different from the situation in the mine before. Many witnesses survived, so Helfas could clearly know the specific situation.
Several people were brought to Helfas and described what happened that night.
"That dragon can spit out lightning, and the lightning turns into fire, which blows up the house in an instant, and there is fire everywhere."
"The dragon's wings can be folded, and its claws are made of metal..."
Helfas frowned immediately and said to the man.
"Describe the dragon's claws again."
Metal claws?
This reminded him of the claws that could easily tear the body of the two-phase demon worm.
Listening to the man's detailed description, Helfas recognized it.
The claws of the dragon seemed to be the claws that almost took his life, at least it was a dragon that scratched him.
"It turns out that the dragon's claws are made of metal."
He couldn't help but reach out to touch his shoulder, but his fingers only touched his collarbone and let go.
The people of the Black Iron Tribe not only rescued the wounded and began to clean up the mess, but also began to search for those tribesmen who escaped and lost their way.
Soon, Helfas learned about the bearded merchant.
"The merchant is here too?"
"Where is he?"
"Hurry up and find him."
Helfas immediately rode the Earth Dragon Beast to a place in the Full Moon Forest. He saw the tragic situation here and his heart tightened.
He got off the Earth Dragon Beast and walked forward. The group of people following him immediately dispersed.
He looked around and kept moving forward. Finally, he saw a familiar figure in the distance.
It was the merchant.
He stood under a burnt tree, looking up at the sky, and kept muttering something.
Helfas walked forward and finally heard what he said.
"That dragon...that dragon..."
"It has a problem."
"It has a problem."
"It should stop, it should stop."
"Why doesn't it stop?"
"Why does it..."
Helfas saw that the merchant had suffered a strong blow and was affected by the strange breath. He immediately used his ability and shouted at his heart and the depths of his mind.
"Merchant!"
"Merchant!"
"Come back to your senses, it's me."
The bearded man was shocked and finally woke up from the nightmare, staring at Helfas in a daze.
Helfas saw the merchant's eyes slowly become clear, and knew that he had come back to his senses.
The merchant looked at Helfas, and neither of them spoke.
Helfas heard the news from the people of the weaving tribe and knew that the merchant came with women and children, but when he looked around, he didn't see any living people.
He opened his mouth to say something, but he felt that anything he said at this time seemed weak.
The merchant looked at his friend for many years, and after a long time, he said in a hoarse voice.
"Helfas."
"Help me kill it, I beg you."
The monsters cannot be killed, and they will be reborn even if they die. This is the initial understanding of the dragon people in this world about the monsters.
Even Helfas didn't find the dead monsters, but only saw the monsters change from one form to another, such as the oil bread tree and the human-faced tree.
The merchant actually meant to ask Helfas to seal it, but it seems that the word "seal" cannot reflect the hatred and emotions in the merchant's heart at this moment.
In memory, Helfas basically never heard the merchant beg him, he was always afraid of bringing trouble to himself.
He was a little unconfident, always felt that the relationship between him and Helfas was unequal, the other party was a god who came from the sky, and he was just an ordinary person.
He always said verbally that it was his luck to know Helfas, and he was cautious for fear that his behavior would break this luck.
At this moment.
Helfas' words were brief, but there was no hesitation.
He said: "Okay."
