Chapter 123 Under the Moonlight, Thunder and Lightning, Light and Sword Interweaving Into a Dance

One after another, the charged fireflies were flying and circling in the air, and the crackling arcs of electricity brought a faint smell of burning.

No, it is not accurate to call them fireflies. These insects just glow at night like fireflies, but compared with the fluorescence of fireflies, this strange insect emits electric light.

Rather than calling them fireflies, it is better to call them - lightning insects!

The accumulation of a large number of lightning insects made the originally weak electric current form a bright and explosive violent lightning.

And against the backdrop of the lightning, a nearly five-meter-tall graceful figure slowly walked out of the night.

On the tiny blue-green scales, the white hair fluttered in the night wind, like a shawl behind the king.

The two earth-yellow dragon horns like wolf ears became more noble under the jumping arcs.

Its forelimbs were particularly strong compared to its hind limbs, and its huge front claws were enough to easily smash the rocks.

Looking at the "unparalleled hunter" strolling over, a gray font appeared in front of Ryan.

——

【Thunder Dragon: [Upper] Tooth Dragon, the overlord of the Flower Stone Wasteland-Oasis, has extremely excellent jumping ability and likes to hunt prey at night.

The Thunder Dragon itself does not have a strong discharge ability, but through symbiosis with a large number of "lightning insects", it has a stronger discharge ability than ordinary electric attribute special species. When the Thunder Dragon discharges, these lightning insects attached to it can be charged and activated, and then become "super-electric lightning insects" that emit strong blue light, and the Thunder Dragon itself will also enter the "super-charged state", and the threat will increase sharply!

——You feel heavy pressure! 】

——

Under the moonlight, the "unparalleled hunter"-[Upper] Thunder Dragon strolled over, its eyes were indifferent and calm, and the eyes looking at Ryan were like looking at an insignificant "ant".

In front of a giant beast that is nearly five meters tall and more than twenty meters long, Ryan, who is less than two meters long, is indeed no different from an "ant", and is the type that can be crushed to death at any time.

This way of appearance, this sense of oppression, compared with the [Upper] Thunder Dragon, the [Upper] Unicorn and [Upper] Blood Claw Dragon are all weak...

In the [Upper] Thunder Dragon, Ryan felt a terrifying threat that surpassed the former two.

If the [Upper] Unicorn and [Upper] Blood Claw Dragon belong to the "Upper One Star", then the [Upper] Thunder Dragon in front of him has already stepped into the field of "Upper Two Stars", reaching a whole new level.

"Really..."

"Great!"

Ryan's mouth was slightly grinning, and the fingers of his right hand holding the big sword tightened one by one, and the burning fire of fighting spirit ignited in his pupils.

He was not afraid of the enemy's strength, but was afraid that the enemy could not bring him enough experience points.

In fact, after the great sword was updated, he had never used his full strength...

Ahem, here we exclude the situation of encountering an ancient dragon. After all, facing an ancient dragon, it doesn't matter whether he used his full strength or not.

[Upper] Thunder Dragon's eyes swept across the sickle blade roasted on the bonfire beside Ryan, and there was a slight fluctuation in his indifferent eyes.

The strength of the sickle blade general is the "lower peak". Although this strength is weak in the eyes of the [Upper] Thunder Dragon, the "ant" in front of him can defeat the sickle blade general, which shows that his strength is far from as simple as his appearance.

But, so what?

For the "unparalleled hunter", interesting prey is more interesting, isn't it?

[Upper] Thunder Dragon stopped moving forward, and the man and the dragon looked at each other from a distance of dozens of meters. Even the sound of the wind seemed to stop at this moment.

More and more lightning bugs fell on the [Upper] Thunder Dragon, making the arcs on its body more vivid, especially the two dragon horns on its head, which began to flash a light blue light.

Ryan's eyes narrowed slightly. From the introduction on the panel, he preliminarily deduced that the discharge ability and threat level of the [Upper] Thunder Dragon were closely related to these seemingly "weak" lightning bugs. Therefore, it was not a good thing to continue to let the [Upper] Thunder Dragon collect lightning bugs.

Thinking of this, he raised his left hand, and with the flashing light of the space ring, an ice-blue crossbow appeared in his hand. The next moment, the trigger was pulled, the crossbow string vibrated, and an ice-blue stream of light broke through the air and pointed directly at the eyes of the [Upper] Thunder Dragon.

"Sizzle..."

An exploding arc shot out from the horn of the [Upper] Thunder Dragon, smashing the incoming crossbow arrow.

However, this action also interrupted its discharge action.

"Boom!"

The ground beneath Ryan's feet shook violently, and cracks spread across several meters. He himself burst out under the effect of the recoil force, and in a very short time, he rushed to the front of the [Upper] Thunder Dragon, and slashed down with the greatsword, slashing at the dragon horn on its forehead that was emitting a faint arc of light.

As a power-type greatsword swordsman, Ryan's agility is not as good as that of the "agile" profession, but with the blessing of absolute violence, his straight-line sprint speed will never be weak, and even better.

The air whistled wherever the greatsword passed, and the extremely heavy sword body was indestructible under the blessing of the brutal force.

Such a mighty force, even the "unparalleled hunter" slightly looked sideways.

But, that's all.

The [Upper] Thunder Dragon raised its head, and the next moment, a deafening roar sounded.

The layers of sound waves blew away all the bushes on the ground within a dozen meters, and Ryan, who was close at hand, was instantly affected by the sound waves. His body was hit hard and flew backwards.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After landing, he took three steps back before Ryan managed to stop himself.

Although the roar of the [Superior] Thunder Dragon was not as good as that of the [Superior] Unicorn Dragon, it still made him dizzy and the scene in front of him had double images.

"boom!"

Perception, the ground suddenly shook, as if something huge was stamping its feet. At the same time, Ryan, whose vision was seriously disturbed, could barely see a huge figure hitting him from mid-air.

At the critical moment, although he was frightened, he rolled vigorously to the right.

"Boom--!"

Hundreds of tons of weight fell to the ground, bringing terrible destructive power. The earth cracked and dented, and strong shock waves swept across all directions.

Ryan, who was in the process of rolling, was carried by the shock wave and hit a palm tree before stopping.

After a few seconds of buffering, Ryan gradually got rid of the influence of "Dragon Roar" and his vision returned to normal.

His eyes fell on the position he had just been in.

I saw there, the [upper] Thunder Dragon's white hair stood up under the action of the electric arc, and its huge front paws were pressing on the position where Ryan had just stood. If he had not rolled over in time, I am afraid that he would have become A ball of minced meat.

In just the first encounter, Ryan suffered a moderate loss.

Is it worthy of being called an "unparalleled hunter"...

Ryan twisted his neck and "pulled out" his body embedded in the palm tree.

Looking at the [Superior] Thunder Dragon not far away who raised his front paws and walked "leisurely" again, the fire of fighting spirit in Ryan's eyes became stronger and stronger.

"This is interesting..."

The pace of the pacing [Superior] Thunder Dragon suddenly accelerated, and countless electric arcs scattered in the air as it ran. At this moment, it seemed to turn into a shadow of thunder and lightning in the dark night, attacking wildly.

Ryan did not dodge or dodge, he put the big sword on his shoulder, and his spiritual energy stirred crazily, causing the sword to be filled with intense flames.

His eyes were fixed on the [superior] Thunder Dragon. When the distance between the two sides was less than one meter, he kept charging his sword and slammed his body forward.

A faint blood light appeared on the surface of Ryan's body. The moment the blood color collided with the dark blue, a strong light exploded.

[Up] Thunder Dragon's forward momentum came to an abrupt halt, as if it had hit an indestructible rock.

On the other side, Ryan also grimaced in pain.

The "blood film" brought by [Special Sword Skill - Collision Attack] shattered after blocking the "Dragon Cart", and the remaining strength rushed into his body, causing some injuries.

Looking at the [superior] Thunder Dragon who was "confused" after hitting his head in front of him, Ryan shouted: "Kill!"

The "three-stage charge" that had been accumulated to the limit was slashed out heavily and landed on the horns on the head of the [upper] Thunder Dragon.

Ryan has been paying attention to this pair of dragon horns for a long time - not only can this thing discharge electricity, but when it attracts lightning bugs to possess it, it will also emit a hazy light, which is very conspicuous.

If he didn't cut it here, he would feel sorry for himself.

"Crack!"

[Great Sword·True Red Crown Horn] forged from the True Red Horn, while abandoning all kinds of fancy abilities, it also maximizes its two characteristics of heaviness and hardness.

The moment the black and yellow sword landed on the dragon's horn, Ryan's hands holding the sword went numb. Then both the sword and the person were knocked back. At the same time, under the charged attack of the sword, [upper] Lei Ming There was also an obvious shattering sound from the dragon's horns, and a clear crack appeared on the surface of one of the dragon horns. This crack was so deep that it cut more than half of the entire horn.

The severe pain forcefully awakened the "superior" Thunder Dragon from the "confusion". Feeling the severe pain from the dragon's horn on its head, it let out a fierce roar again.

This time, because of the distance and preparation in advance, Ryan, who quickly pulled away more than ten meters away, was not greatly affected by the "dragon roar".

However, looking at the [Superior] Thunder Dragon not far away with arcs flashing all over his body, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

A large number of surging electric arcs stimulated the brightness of the lightning bugs to become more and more dazzling, and the electric current released by countless "super electric lightning bugs" further stimulated the [upper] Thunder Dragon, causing its momentum to rise suddenly.

Amid the roar, arc rings visible to the naked eye spread, leaving a strong burning smell in the air.

Ryan's eyes became extremely serious.

"This should be what is mentioned on the panel, the [superior] Thunder Dragon's 'super-charged state', right?"

Before Ryan could think about it, his expression changed, because the [upper] Thunder Dragon's attack had arrived.

On the ground between Ryan and the [Superior] Thunder Dragon, several blue-purple flashing dots appeared. The next second, dazzling and violent electric current fell on these small blue-purple dots.

And there happened to be a small blue-purple dot under Ryan's feet.

The electric current fell so fast and urgently that Ryan, who did not notice the blue and purple dots under his feet for the first time, was immediately given an "electric bath".

The moment the electric current hit his body, he felt numb all over and lost control of his body. Then, there was a burning pain from the outside to the inside.

Ryan gritted his teeth. Even if he couldn't see it, he could still tell that the skin under his scales must be slightly dark.

But at this moment, he has no time to care about this, because the next wave of offensive from the [upper] Thunder Dragon has arrived.

The [Upper] Thunder Dragon swung its tail fiercely, and three dark blue electric balls taller than Ryan's body flew out and came towards him accurately.

The speed of the electric balls was quite fast, and they spread in a circular shape, making it difficult to predict their trajectory. At the critical moment, Ryan used his legs to jump high.

The electric charge that escaped from the electric balls that swept under him stimulated the hair under his helmet to stand up.

Ryan, who avoided this attack, did not show any joy on his face, but was full of solemnity, because the [Upper] Thunder Dragon's "attack combo" did not stop.

Seeing Ryan jumping high, the [Upper] Thunder Dragon used its limbs to exert force at the same time, causing terrifying cracks to appear on the ground under its feet. Then, its body, which was emitting electricity wildly, jumped high and fell towards Ryan.

A series of combos showed the superb hunting skills of the "Unparalleled Hunter". It can be said that the [Upper] Thunder Dragon that entered the "super charged state" is the real "Unparalleled Hunter", and the threat has increased by several levels!

Being in mid-air, with no place to borrow strength, Ryan couldn't dodge at all. He could only watch the huge charged body smashing down while falling.

With his fragile human flesh and blood body, if he was hit hard by this smash, there would be no other possibility except being crushed into minced meat.

With the life-and-death crisis coming, Ryan in mid-air took a deep breath and held the big sword in front of him to form a defensive posture.

The next second, the man and the dragon in mid-air collided violently.

The huge kinetic energy pressed Ryan directly into the ground, and a large amount of smoke and dust raged.

In the dust, the electric light exploding from the depths can still be seen.

In the deep pit, Ryan stood safely beside the [Upper] Thunder Dragon that smashed the ground with its back, and countless tiny blood-colored light spots were escaping around him.

At the last moment, Ryan activated [Special Sword Skill·Defense Collision] in time, not only blocking the fatal blow, but also completing "a period of power accumulation" in an instant.

The success of the defense also made the special skill [Turn Defense into Offense] take effect successfully.

——[Turn Defense into Offense lv.3 (max)]: After a successful defense parry with a weapon, the damage is +20% in the next 60 seconds.

The [Upper] Thunder Dragon that used "Thunder and Lightning Kill" was also shocked and couldn't get up for a while. Taking this opportunity, Ryan prepared to continue to accumulate power and give this monster a hard blow.

But the falling lightning that spread from the [Upper] Thunder Dragon disrupted Ryan's plan.

If he continued to accumulate power, he would certainly be hit by the lightning. Being electrocuted was not pleasant. Until now, Ryan's internal organs still had a burning pain. But if he retreated at this moment, the [Upper] Thunder Dragon, which had a buffer time, would also get up again, and he would lose a great opportunity to attack.

In a flash, Ryan made a quick decision - he would continue to accumulate power.

Of course, he was not going to take the lightning head-on.

As the light of the dark gold blood-patterned gloves on his hands emerged, a blood-red thorn ball appeared on his shoulder, unfolding a layer of blood barrier.

The lightning hit the blood barrier, and violent ripples spread on the surface of the blood barrier, and the light of the "blood core" suddenly dimmed by half.

With the protection of the blood barrier, Ryan, who was not affected by the lightning, took the time to accumulate power.

Before the [Upper] Thunder Dragon was about to get up, he finally completed the "three-stage accumulation" and, with a roar, slashed down with the sword.

This time, Ryan was still aiming at the dragon horn on the head of the [Upper] Thunder Dragon.

Ryan observed that the dragon horn on the head of the [Upper] Thunder Dragon, which had entered the "super-charged state", was dazzling blue, as if the violent and violent current on its body was maintained by the dragon horn.

The great sword collided with the dragon horn shining with electric light.

Fortunately, the [Great Sword·Red Crown Horn] was only mixed with a small part of metal materials. If it was a weapon forged with all metal, the electricity conducted would be enough to make Ryan drink a pot.

But even so, the slight current transmitted along the weapon also made Ryan's hands slightly numb.

However, everything was worth it.

With a crisp breaking sound, a huge dragon horn flew up. At the same time, the [Upper] Thunder Dragon let out a whine, and the arcs surging around it began to dissipate uncontrollably. Soon, it was forced to exit the "super-charged state".

It was indeed like this!

This scene made Ryan, who had verified his conjecture, feel refreshed.

The dragon horns on the head are extremely important organs for the [Upper] Thunder Dragon. After losing a dragon horn, it not only cannot maintain the "super-charged state", but also its state has dropped a lot. Even if it climbs up, it still stands there gasping for breath, with saliva dripping from the corners of its mouth.

Good opportunity!

Ryan seized the time to accumulate power, and before the [Upper] Thunder Dragon recovered, he slashed out with another "three-stage accumulation".

The [Upper] Thunder Dragon, whose head was hit hard again, wailed and rolled to the ground.

And three consecutive brain attacks, with the blessing of the two special skills [Sword Drawing Skill·Force] and [Stun Enhancement], made the [Upper] Thunder Dragon fall directly into a "fainting state".

And such a good opportunity, Ryan would naturally not miss it.

Consuming the "gluttony degree" to restore the physical strength consumed and relieve the injuries of the body, Ryan stepped forward and came to the side of the [upper] thunder dragon. After a few seconds of charging, the "three-stage power" heavy slash fell again.

With a crisp "crack", another dragon horn on the head of the [upper] thunder dragon broke.

The intense pain awakened the [Upper] Thunder Dragon. Its strong and powerful front claws slammed down on the ground, causing a miniature "earthquake". It supported its upper body with the recoil force of hitting the ground, and forcibly condensed the remaining arcs, and slapped Ryan, who was unstable and unbalanced due to the "earthquake".

"Boom..."

The color of the "blood core" was completely dim, and the blood barrier was broken, but before it broke, it also completed its mission and blocked the lightning strike of the [Upper] Thunder Dragon.

"Ha!"

Ryan shouted, stepped back a few steps to avoid the claws, and slashed with the sword in his hand after a short "one-stage charge".

Compared with the previous "three-stage charge" slashes, this "one-stage charge" slash can be called "weak", but such a "weak" blow became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

[Upper] Thunder Dragon wailed, its head lifted up under the huge force, and it stumbled back a few steps, almost falling down again.

At this moment, its state has been extremely depressed, its eyes are dim, and there is no trace of arc jumping on its body.

After five consecutive head slashes, even a life force as tenacious as "Upper" can't hold on.

Seeing Ryan chasing, [Upper] Thunder Dragon's eyes showed panic.

At this moment, it no longer had the leisure and calmness when it appeared, and quickly turned around and started running wildly towards the depths of the night.

The strong and powerful limbs gave [Upper] Thunder Dragon an extremely fast running speed. Even if it was in such a weak state, its escape speed was still faster than Ryan.

Seeing the distance between the two sides quickly widening, Ryan knew that he would never be able to catch up with this monster just by running.

His eyes were fierce, and the [Relic·Embrace of Blood] in his hand began to suck the blood in his body, rapidly restoring his "blood and qi". At the same time, he consumed his "gluttony" to restore the blood loss in his body.

Ryan was using "gluttony" to exchange for "blood and qi", and 1 point of blood restored by gluttony could be converted into 2 points of blood and qi.

With the replenishment of high-quality blood, "blood and qi" quickly recovered from 0 to 50.

Ryan did not continue to wait, he raised his right hand, and a blood-red spiral spear appeared, which he held tightly.

Stop, bend, accumulate power, and then, the "Blood Spear" burst out.

The dazzling blood-red stream of light came from behind and pierced through the chest of the weak [Upper] Thunder Dragon, causing its body to tilt and fall to the ground.

Ryan, who was behind, breathed a sigh of relief. He was still worried that the "Blood Spear" would not be able to penetrate the body of the [Upper] Thunder Dragon. If so, he would be unable to stop the [Upper] Thunder Dragon from escaping.

As it turned out, he was overthinking.

The [Upper] Thunder Dragon, which was forced to exit the "super-charged state", seemed to have its shell defense reduced a lot. In addition, due to its weak state, it was completely unable to resist the "Blood Spear".

Ryan rushed forward quickly, raised his sword, and prepared to finish off the [Upper] Thunder Dragon.

But at this moment, the sixth sense in the dark sent a strong warning, and at the same time, Ryan's eyes also saw that the [Upper] Thunder Dragon's body began to spread with red spots.

——It's "Red Flame Rage"!

Ryan's pupils shrank suddenly, but he had no time to stop it.

The speed of "Red Flame Rage" was very fast. In less than a second, the [Upper] Thunder Dragon, which was originally on the verge of death, was covered with large patches of red spots all over its body. The sluggish electric arc on its body was also strongly supplemented at this moment, exploding into bloody violent lightning.

"Damn it!"

Ryan stopped and bit his back teeth tightly.

He knew that he might only need to charge up and slash once more, or at most twice, to kill the [Upper] Thunder Dragon.

However, facing the Thunder Dragon that had entered the "Red Flame Rage", it was difficult for him to use the third special sword skill in a short period of time, and his "gluttony" was not enough to replenish his "blood" and could not deploy the blood barrier. He was likely to be blasted into pieces by the [Upper] Thunder Dragon before his attack hit the [Upper] Thunder Dragon.

The strong sense of threat was telling Ryan that the [Upper] Thunder Dragon in the red lightning state was more powerful and terrifying than the "super-charged state" just now.

Reason told Ryan that he had to retreat now to have a chance of survival.

But he was unwilling to give up.

At this point, he was about to win, but the appearance of "Red Flame Rage" reversed the situation.

Sometimes Ryan would think, if he could also enter a special state similar to "Red Flame Rage", how great it would be.

However, imagination is only imagination after all, the reality is that he does not have a similar special state at all.

After a brief inner struggle, Ryan finally decided to retreat first.

However, he wanted to run, but the [Upper] Thunder Dragon did not intend to let him go.

As an "unparalleled hunter", the [Upper] Thunder Dragon had not tasted the taste of being killed by the "prey" for a long time. It was precisely because of this unprecedented rage that it entered the "Red Flame Rage".

At this moment, its heart was completely filled with anger, and the source of its anger, this tiny "upright walking creature", naturally had no reason to let it go.

The [Upper] Thunder Dragon rushed towards Ryan, bursting with dazzling red lightning, leaving a terrifying black and red path on the ground along the way.

The speed and strength of the [Upper] Thunder Dragon, which entered the "Red Flame Rage", further increased.

When it was weak, Ryan couldn't catch up, let alone now.

Because, wanting to run in front of the [Upper] Thunder Dragon in this state is nothing but a fool's dream.

Since he can't run away, then he won't run!

Ryan turned around.

Even at a long distance, he could feel the horror of the red lightning.

He estimated that he would be electrocuted into charcoal by the red lightning with just a slight contact.

But even so...

"Only fight."

Ryan grinned, took out a small piece of "Blood Claw Dragon Steak" that had been roasted in advance and stuffed it into his mouth, and took the initiative to sprint towards the [Upper] Thunder Dragon.

Even if he died, he had to scrape another layer of meat off the [Upper] Thunder Dragon.

In the relative sprint state, the speed of the man and the dragon quickly closed.

A strong layer of bloody light was lingering on Ryan's body and the big sword in his hand.

——[Food War·Blood Claw Dragon's Sorrow]: Blood Shadow Wraps, Movement Speed ​​+20%, and any attack will cause additional bleeding and tearing damage.

The basic attribute blessing of the [Food War] skill activated by the upper monster as food has doubled, from 10% to 20%.

The surge in speed further increased the kinetic energy of the sword in Ryan's hand.

Looking at the "Red Movie" that was attacking him, Ryan, who knew he was going to die, laughed and said, "Eat my sword!"

The blood and black and yellow intertwined sword fell, and the red lightning exploded continuously. Just when the two were about to touch, a red energy column flew from not far away and hit the side of the [upper] Thunder Dragon fiercely.

The strong impact caused its forward momentum to stagnate and fall to one side.

"What is this?!"

The sudden support made Ryan happy, and the familiar red energy column attack also made him realize who was supporting him.

Besides Dayin, who else would support him in this place?

How could this guy appear here?

Ryan was happy but also confused, but he didn't have time to think about it at the moment.

The bombardment of the red energy column caused the [upper] Thunder Dragon to roll to the ground, and this was his only chance to defeat the [upper] Thunder Dragon!

"Kill!"

The spiritual sound waves spread out, but the sound waves did not have any effect on the [upper] Thunder Dragon, but Ryan didn't expect this. What he cared about was the "morale boost" brought by [High-spirited War Roar].

The further rising speed and strength made Ryan flash and come to the head of the [upper] Thunder Dragon.

"Dang-dang-dang!"

The three stages of power accumulation were completed in one go, and before the [upper] Thunder Dragon stood up, it was slashed down.

This sword was Ryan's strongest sword so far.

All the secrets, special skills, and all the power are all gathered on this sword!

Blood tore the air apart, and faintly, a white air wave spread out.

That was the "sound barrier" that exploded!

Under the moonlight, the crisp sound of "crackling" spread far away.

[Upper] The red lightning around the Thunder Dragon gradually dissipated, and the eyes staring at Ryan also dimmed completely.

Ryan half-knelt on the ground with his sword, and a wanton laugh appeared on his face.

——Upper two-star, Thunder Dragon, the crusade was successful!
