Chapter 093 Asian Dragon
"Ouch~~~"
"Ouch~~~"
Before approaching the mangrove, Gawain relied on [Magic Sense] and clearly felt several waves of magic power. After walking for a while, he heard strange screams in the distance. When he got closer, he saw a burning forest.
They were tall and straight red cedars, very rare underground.
"Do you want me to go check it out?"
"Be careful!"
Lilith was eager to give it a try. After seeing Gawain nod, she jumped off the horse and ran quickly towards the mangrove. She disappeared after running a few steps.
Disappeared in the thick gray fog.
Not long after, Lilith came back with a look of wonder:
"Mr. Gawain, guess what I saw? I actually saw a dragon, a flying dragon. It was burning the mangroves. It seemed very angry."
"Dragon?"
Gawain didn't believe it because he didn't feel too strong a fluctuation in magic power, at least not to the level of a formal wizard.
Otherwise, he would not have rushed over rashly.
"I'll go take a look."
Gawain took out a raven feather and transformed into a raven.
Crow Xiaobai spread his wings and flew up, humped Gaowen, and quickly flew towards the mangroves. In the blink of an eye, he came to the sky above the mangroves. Sure enough, he saw a huge dragon beast, flapping its flesh wings and flying in the smoke.
Occasionally spit out a series of fireballs.
This dragon beast is more than ten meters long, with a wingspan of nearly ten meters. It also has a long, pointed and thin tail with many spikes and protrusions on it. It looks really fierce.
But compared with the bronze dragon that Gawain had seen before, the gap was too big, like two species.
The most important thing is that there is no Longwei.
"It turns out to be a hybrid dragon, it should be [Fork-tailed Dragon]!"
"Some spellcasting ability."
"It should be three consecutive spells... No, it's probably a witchcraft-like [Continuous Fireball Technique]."
According to the monster illustration record in "Wizard World General Knowledge", Gawain could easily identify the roots of this dragon, and its spellcasting ability was equivalent to that of a high-level wizard apprentice.
But the method is relatively simple.
Melee combat is stronger.
The overall strength exceeds that of a high-level wizard apprentice, but it still does not reach the first-level level.
"Go back."
Gawain had no intention of conflict with the fork-tailed dragon. He quickly retreated on the crow Xiaobai. After turning into his true form, he sat on the back of the unicorn again and said with a smile:
"It's just a fork-tailed dragon, not a giant dragon."
"Fork-tailed dragon? I thought it was a giant dragon."
Lilith was relieved, but also a little disappointed, and asked: "What should we do next?"
"wait!"
Gawain uttered this word, a little worried that his crow would conflict with the fork-tailed dragon, so he whistled and specially summoned crow Xiao Shiba and three other crow messengers.
Avoid the edge.
"Quack~~~"
Just after waiting for half an hour, several red-eyed crows suddenly screamed.
"Come up quickly!"
Gawain stretched out his hand to pull Lilith onto the horse's back. When he looked up, he saw gray fog billowing, and a fork-tailed dragon with a wingspan of nearly ten meters slowly emerged in the air.
Scarlet eyes stared at the tiny group of people.
Gawain looked solemn and raised his head and said: "I am not your enemy. Don't vent your anger on me."
"Ouch~~~"
The fork-tailed dragon opened its bloody mouth, and its magic power quickly gathered. Fireballs hit its head, instantly covering Gawain and his party, and igniting a raging fire on the ground.
When the flames died down, Gawain was still sitting on his horse.
The body is covered with a [Water Barrier], and the [Offset Force Field] surrounds the body at its maximum range. Five ice arrows as thick as calves are arranged above the head, ready to go.
Gawain showed great restraint and said coldly:
"Last warning!"
"Ouch~~"
Seeing that the group of people was unharmed, the fork-tailed dragon was obviously stunned. Then it roared a few times as if it was irritated, and flapped its huge flesh wings to pounce down.
The forked tail behind him was raised high, ready for a fatal blow at any time.
"Shameless!"
Gawain waved the black wand, and five ice arrows shot out at the same time.
"Ouch~~"
The Fork-tailed Dragon swung its head and just avoided one of the arrows, when the other four ice arrows hit various parts of its body almost at the same time, breaking through its scales and embedding itself in its flesh, but compared to its huge size, they were far from fatal.
It endured the pain and pounced even more fiercely.
Gawain took the opportunity to draw the green feather bow, released his right hand, and shot out a wind element energy arrow, accurately hitting the left eye of the fork-tailed dragon.
One arrow shot out the eyeball.
"Ouch~~~"
The fork-tailed dragon screamed and stretched out its front paws to scratch Gawain's head.
"Herodus~~~"
The red-eyed crows on horseback flew away, and the unicorn suddenly jumped up and jumped out of the sea of fire. At this time, the forked-tailed dragon flew into the air and struck with anger, shaking its head and tail, and saw its long forked tail sweeping across the sea of fire in an instant.
Heading straight for Gawain's head.
"careful!"
As soon as Lilith exclaimed, the fork's tail moved upward a few inches.
It swept past Gawain's head.
Gawain felt his head was chilling. He turned around and saw the fork-tailed dragon flying again, flapping its flesh wings and escaping in the distance. He hurriedly opened his green feather bow and fired three arrows in succession.
The arrow hits.
But the fork-tailed dragon didn't look back and quickly escaped into the thick gray fog.
"Sure enough, the skin is rough and the flesh is thick!"
Gawain put down his green feather bow, gave up the idea of continuing to pursue the enemy, and looked at Lilith with admiration. He could clearly see just now that Lilith was ready to sacrifice her life for the savior.
But she reacted too slowly, sweeping her forked tail before jumping on him, looking very embarrassed.
"This is a competent follower."
Gawain thought silently in his heart and patted Lilith on the shoulder:
"You're great!"
Then he whistled to call back the red-eyed crows who wanted to chase the fork-tailed dragon. The fork-tailed dragon was not weak. Even if one eye was blind, a few crows could only deliver food.
Lilith's face was full of shame:
"I'm so useless."
Gawain didn't say any more, urging the unicorn to run towards the mangrove, stopping at the edge of the burning mangrove, temporarily canceling the [Magic Cover], and manipulating the [Water Barrier] around him to flicker.
then.
Waves of invisible magic power fluctuations spread out. Even wizard apprentices who have not learned [Magic Perception] can easily detect such frequent and dense magic power fluctuations.
"Gagagaga~~~"
At this time, a chirping sound suddenly came, and a large group of strange birds flew up from the forest. They cooperated with each other, flapped their wings and hovered over the mangroves, constantly spitting water down.
Douse the flames everywhere.
Their necks are thick and their stomachs are heavy, taking up almost half of their bodies. They look very weird, like big buckets.
"Can birds put out fires?"
Lilith's eyes flashed with strange light, and she was very surprised.
Gawain pondered: "It should be some kind of modified creature."
After waiting for a while, the fire in the mangrove was finally put out.
Strange birds landed one after another.
One of them flew over here and landed on a branch at the edge of the mangrove. Its stomach pouch shrank by more than half, making it look much more pleasing to the eye.
The strange bird looked at Gawain and his party with human eyes, stretched out its wings and performed an elegant breast caressing ceremony, and uttered human words:
"Good day, young wizard apprentice, please explain your purpose of coming."
"Good day!"
Gawain returned the greeting on horseback and said, "I would like to visit the owner of the 'Cottage in the Woods' and ask a few questions."
"So...why should I answer your question?"
The strange bird opened its mouth and pecked a crawling insect with a leisurely expression.
Gawain took out a test tube from his pocket: "How about a [secondary magic potion]?"
"Gagagaga~~~"
The strange bird shook its wings and laughed a few times, then nodded and said, "That's fair, but...it can't exceed three questions. I also reserve the right not to answer some tricky questions, such as, am I a male or a female?"
"Can!"
Gawain didn't bother and asked directly: "Is there a place for trading between wizards nearby?"
"Yes, on the low mountain outside the Turkmen city-state, we call it the 'Anling Bird Fair'. Unfortunately, even if you are included, there are only five wizard apprentices in total, and it was just held three days ago. , there is no idea of holding it again in the near future, and the next time will be at least three months away.”
