Chapter 149 Ryan: Do You Want to Live Opposite Me? (Subscribe)

The scattered sparks quickly gathered together to form a human-shaped body.

Ryan opened his eyes, and what he saw was the dancing bonfire and reddish-brown mountain rocks.

[Bonfire Point-Volcano Cave]

Without setting off in a hurry, Ryan first checked his equipment.

Weapons: [Great Sword·True Red Crown Horn], [Light Crossbow·Shattered Ice]

Protective gear: [Ceratopsian Armor]

Ring: [Ring of Thunder]

Holy relics: [Azure Medal (Awakening)], [Blood Embrace (Initial Awakening)]

After inspecting it, Ryan nodded with satisfaction.

The melee equipment is very complete. In terms of long-range, [Light Crossbow·Ice Crusher] is undoubtedly too backward, and it is impossible to cause any damage to "upper" and above monsters. The reason why it is still retained is because [Light Crossbow· [Broken Ice] The crossbow arrows shot are enchanted with ice attributes, which is good for luring monsters.

In terms of long-range attacks, it is mainly replaced by the "Blood Spear" of [Holy Relic·Blood Embrace].

"If conditions permit, we still need to get a better long-range weapon."

Ryan thought to himself.

Everything is ready, next is the first [Crown] crusade attempt!

Ryan's target is not the [Grand Rank] Sapphire Giant Beast, but the [Grand Rank] Sword Tail Giant Beast that he defeated in the past.

Just as there is a division of strength from one star to three stars between the [upper ranks], the same should be true between the [crown ranks].

Although I don’t know the specific star classification between the two, the [Grand Rank] Sapphire Giant Beast is obviously stronger than the [Grand Rank] Sword Tail Monster.

You must pick the soft persimmons first.

It is undoubtedly a better choice to use the weaker [Grand Rank] sword-tailed beast to test the waters and test whether the current self has the strength to challenge the "Grand Rank".

Leaving [Bonfire Point - Volcano Cave], hot air waves rushed towards me, but it had no effect on Ryan, who had the special skill [Heat Damage Invalidation].

Following the passage inside the volcano, Ryan arrived at the entrance of the large magma lake where he had previously encountered the [Crown] Sapphire Beast.

He stood cautiously by the entrance and quietly observed.

What you can see at the entrance is a huge red red magma lake, and there are no traces of monsters on the surrounding ground.

[Crown] The sapphire beast is not here?

Ryan's eyes were still solemn.

The last time he arrived at the large magma lake, the [Grand Rank] Sapphire Beast was also not here. It wasn't until he got close to the magma lake that the opponent suddenly jumped out of another passage in the distance.

"call……"

After exhaling softly, Ryan did not act rashly, but closed his eyes and felt silently.

During his last travel trip, he had not yet advanced, and his [Spirituality] was only a pitiful 8.8, and his ability to perceive large areas was quite poor. But now, with the blessing of [Tide of Pain], his [Spirituality] has reached an astonishing 33.5 .

Ten seconds later, Ryan opened his eyes and his brows relaxed slightly: "You're really not here?"

In his perception, this large magma lake was filled with a faint sense of depression, and a faint strange aura, as if a violent explosion might occur at any time.

Ryan, who had come into contact with the [Crown] Sapphire Beast, knew very well that this must be the aura left by the other party.

However, this aura is much lighter now. It seems that the [Grand Rank] Sapphire Blue Beast has gone out to look for food?

It’s normal to think about it.

With the size of the [Crown] Sapphire Beast, the amount of energy it needs to consume every day is terrifying, and it must be supported by sufficient food.

Although Ryan does not understand the ecological composition of this volcano, the fact that the [Grand Rank] Sapphire Giant Beast can live here means that there must be a place that can provide it with enough food.

Ryan stepped forward and stepped into the large magma lake.

The absence of the [Crown] Sapphire Beast is undoubtedly a good thing.

The direction Ryan went to was exactly the cave where he encountered the [higher-ranking] princess, the Blazing Spider, in the past.

A few minutes later, Ryan returned with a look of pain on his face.

Just as he expected, in just one day, the corpse of the [higher-ranking] Princess Blazing Spider disappeared without a trace, and even the corpses of the Guardian Spiders disappeared, as if there was some greedy and unsatisfied existence that took them away. Eat it dry and wipe it clean, not even the residue is left.

Although he didn't know who did it, Ryan instinctively felt that it couldn't be the [Grand Rank] Sapphire Behemoth.

It seems that another "Grand Rank" monster has broken into this area?

[Grand Rank] Is the departure of the sapphire beast also related to this?

After Ryan thought for a moment, he stopped thinking about it and headed towards the direction where the [Grand Rank] sword-tailed beast was beaten away in the past.

For him now, there is no point in thinking too much.

It's nothing more than soldiers coming to block it and water coming to cover it up.

"Gulu..."

On large magma lakes, magma bubbles bubble up, expand, and then burst from time to time.

After getting away from the large magma lake, Ryan's expression relaxed slightly.

In fact, the rapid attack of the [Grand Rank] sapphire beast last time brought a big shadow to him, and he was afraid that this guy would suddenly appear from some passage while he was moving forward.

There are multiple channels connected around the large magma lake. This area is much wider than Ryan originally imagined.

The volcanoes exposed on the surface are only a small part of it. There is a vast underground space below the ground.

Along the way, Ryan soon made a discovery.

Many terrifying cracks appeared on the reddish-brown cave walls. These cracks were not formed naturally, but more like traces left by some existence using a huge blade to chop or grind.

The moment Ryan saw these traces, he recalled the exaggerated and terrifying long tail of the [Crown] Sword Tail Behemoth, which was shaped like a big sword.

The surface of these traces was relatively new, and it was obviously formed in a short period of time.

"The [Crown] Sword Tail Behemoth is nearby, and it hasn't gone away yet?"

Ryan's eyes showed surprise.

He originally thought that it would take a long time to hunt the [Crown] Sword Tail Behemoth. After all, in the territory encounter, the [Crown] Sword Tail Behemoth was obviously not the opponent of the [Crown] Sapphire Behemoth.

But from the existing traces, after the failure of the last territory battle, the [Crown] Sword Tail Behemoth seemed to be unconvinced, wandering around the large magma lake, as if ready to challenge again.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Ryan, and the time to find the [Crown] Sword Tail Behemoth will be greatly shortened.

Not only that, the [Grand] Sword Tail Beast was wandering around but had not yet started a battle for territory again, which meant that the injury this guy suffered in the last battle was probably not fully recovered. If this was the case, his subsequent crusade would undoubtedly be easier.

Thinking of this, Ryan was excited and continued to go deeper into the cave.

As he went forward, the air became sharper unconsciously - a large number of sword marks appeared on the rock wall of the cave, which should be the product of the [Grand] Sword Tail Beast's "daily practice".

Unlike ordinary monsters that only hunt and rest, the [Grand] Sword Tail Beast seems to be a very diligent special species?

Is this the reason why it can be ranked among the "Grand"?

Ryan's eyes became more and more solemn.

Monsters that master combat skills are completely different from monsters that fight only by instinct.

Arriving at the end of the passage, what Ryan saw was a fairly spacious cave.

The ground here is extremely flat, so flat that it seems to have been deliberately polished by humans.

On the wall of the cave, the criss-crossing and terrifying sword marks silently tell everything that has happened here.

Ryan's face was solemn, he stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the greatsword behind him, and walked into the cave.

The sharp aura here has reached an extremely strong level - this is the temporary nest of the [Crown] Sword Tail Beast!

"Clang-clang-"

In another passage in the distance, there was a metal friction sound similar to the grinding of weapons. It seemed that something was sensed, and the friction sound suddenly intensified, and it became louder and louder, and closer and closer.

"It's coming!"

Ryan looked solemn, raised his hand, and the blood-colored spear was held in his palm.

Without hesitation, he directly activated the newly acquired professional skill [Brave Strike].

The spirituality like the waves surged and rushed in the body, accumulating layer by layer, and finally gathered on the blood spear in Ryan's hand, making the surface of the spear appear with a scorching light blue spiritual flame. These spiritual flames and blood flames mixed together, forming a strange color of light blue and blood.

Unlike the previous throwing of the blood spear, this time when holding the spear body, the knowledge from the professional skill [Throwing Specialization Enhancement] made Ryan understand what posture and angle to throw in order to maximize the power of the thrown object.

It was at the moment when Ryan completed the accumulation of power.

With a loud "bang", the passage on the opposite side suddenly exploded. In an instant, smoke and dust rolled, and a huge shadow rushed out from the smoke and dust. The sparks caused by the high-speed friction on the rock wall splashed and scattered in the air, which was extremely gorgeous.

"Swish!"

A sharp sound of breaking through the air sounded one step behind the explosion.

It shot out with blue and red streams of light, and the sonic boom sounded only when it reached the giant beast.

The spreading white air waves swept in all directions. With the blessing of the two skills [Brave Strike] and [Throwing Expertise Enhancement], the "Blood Spear", which was already extremely fast, broke through the speed of sound for the first time, and its power reached an unprecedented height.

"Dang——!"

The tail of the rising sword blade just touched the front of the Blood Spear, and the two collided, bursting out with violent flames and impact.

The Blood Spear broke into pieces from the tip of the spear, and the giant beast that hit the spear hard not only stopped its forward momentum, but also took two steps back.

Equal!

It was not until then that Ryan could see the appearance of the giant beast clearly.

It had a pair of horns and a huge mouth full of sharp teeth on its head, its whole body was covered with red shells, and its back had a blue heat dissipation shell that was curved and grew upward like a flame.

Short forelimbs, unusually strong and powerful thighs, the tail is almost as long as the body, and has evolved into a royal blue shell shaped like a giant blade.

The panel's prompt about the [Grand] Sword Tailed Beast finally appeared clearly at this distance.

——

[Sword Slashing Dragon: [Grand] Beast Dragon, in the hunter world, has the title of "Scorching Blade".

The Sword Slashing Dragon is a carnivorous special species with extremely strong aggression and hot temper. It will actively attack anyone and large monsters within its field of vision.

On weekdays, they will swallow coal and combustible minerals. There is an organ called "flame sac" in their throat, which can store magma refined from coal and combustible minerals, which can be used to spit or grind their tail blades to make them "red hot".

The tail of Stegosaurus often adheres to some impurities when exposed to high heat. It usually uses teeth, minerals and the ground to "sharpen" its tail to keep its tail blade sharp.

After the lava stored in its red flame sac is activated, it can be heated and flamed when grinding its tail, but at the same time, the meat of its tail will also become soft.

The Stegosaurus itself can also mix the impurities on its tail blade with the lava stored in the red flame sac, and eject explosive minerals directly from its mouth to carry out long-range attacks on the enemy. 】

[——[Grand Rank] Special species, an extremely powerful existence that is superior to countless special species. The one with the "Grand Rank" is the "Champion"! 】

——

Ryan withdrew his gaze from the introduction on the panel and looked directly at the giant beast that was more than twenty meters tall not far away.

The existence of the "Crown" level, I don't know if it is an exception, but its size far exceeds that of [upper] and [lower] monsters.

Or it can be said that those who are strong are not necessarily big, but those who are big are definitely not weak.

An unparalleled sense of oppression spread from the [Crown] Sword-Slaying Dragon, and in an instant, it enveloped the entire place.

This coercion is so strong that it can even be compared with the Libra Pope who mastered the remains of Li Shen before he was suppressed by the "artifact-Sacred Scale".

"[Title], is it equivalent to a professional's 'legend'..."

This thought flashed through Ryan's mind, but the next second, he was attracted by the action of [Grand Position] Slaying the Sword Dragon in front of him.

The tail blade that it landed on was deeply embedded in the ground. At the same time, the shell on the tail blade turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a large piece of metal calcined in a high-temperature furnace.

And the action of [Crown Position] slaying the sword dragon gives people a sense of sight that the sword is charging and about to be unsheathed.

As a frequent user of "accumulated flow", Ryan is very sensitive in this regard.

He could almost predict that the next moment, the red tail blade that had completed its "charging" would sweep towards him.

A strong sense of sharpness pierced his face, and even the thick and sturdy [Ceratopsian Armor] could not give Ryan the slightest sense of security.

[Ceratopsian Armor] is forged from the body materials of "high-ranking" monsters. It is difficult to say how much protection it can have against "crown-ranking" monsters.

At the critical moment, Ryan's eyes became calmer.

"Qiang——"

[Big Sword·True Red Crown Horn] was unsheathed and placed on his shoulder, and Ryan also launched a "charging posture".

Facing the "charged slash" of [Grand Rank] Sword-Slayer Dragon, he chose the same method to counterattack.

As a hunter, this behavior is undoubtedly irrational and can easily lead to sudden death, but as a swordsman, Ryan will never take even a step back from the enemy's "charged slash".

This is the dignity that belongs to the great swordsman and must not be blasphemed in the slightest!

"Want to live across from the middle gate?"

"Then I'll make it happen for you!"
