Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1260 1232. Strange Fire
If Winder had not dodged to the side immediately after landing, but allowed himself to rush forward under inertia, he would undoubtedly have been enveloped by the blue-purple flame that instantly melted the rocks.

Although he estimated that he would not be unable to withstand even a regular breath of the Flame Queen Dragon after changing into the Mist Nest Lord suit, the feeling of being severely burned in the armor was enough that even he did not want to try it again.

The flames of the Flame Queen Dragon are very different from those of the Flame King Dragon.

This strange blue-purple flame has the properties of stickiness and smoldering.

The flames left a large residue on the ground. Even though the blue-purple flames had separated from the Flame Queen Dragon, they still stubbornly clung to the ground for a while, swaying on their own.

The flame that is not accumulated is only equivalent to one breath of the Flame Queen Dragon, so it does not last too long.

But as it flew in the sky, its dangerous eyes clearly showed it was planning its next attack.

"Garfield!"

Winder, whose side was almost brushed by the flames, shouted in an orderly manner.

"I got it, nya!"

His hunting partner, with whom he had worked for a long time, responded immediately.

"Look at my [Shiny Bug Cage], meow!"

The orange cat took out a small woven cage from his backpack, which contained bait that could attract the glow-winged insects.

As long as you master the bait formula, you can automatically obtain a reusable powerful flash bomb in the New World.

This is the technique Garfield learned from the Deter tribe in the Ancient Tree Forest.

Garfield threw the insect cage into the air, and a kitten throwing knife followed closely behind it.

The intensity of light released when a glow-winged insect dies is even stronger than the demon hunter's alchemical bomb.

The Flame Queen Dragon, who was concentrating on staring at Winder, suddenly had her eyes dazzled.

It has nothing to do with how powerful the ancient dragon is. Any creature that uses its eyes to observe will feel uncomfortable if it suddenly encounters a drastic change in light and dark environment.

The eyes of the Flame Dragon were completely white, and its flying balance was also affected by the visual failure.

He staggered and fell headfirst to the ground.

At this moment, Lan En and Flannel Ball, who had already pulled the trigger lever of the [Dragon-Slaying Spear] and took the initiative in the battle, had already jumped from the platform into the sunken terrain in the center of the arena.

With a "click", the hook made from the edges of Smaug's dragon scales was launched out.

And it directly hooked the head of the Flame Dragon as it floundered on the ground and hadn't yet stood up.

Smaug's dragon scales have excellent resistance to high temperatures, so the flames of the Flame Queen cannot damage them.

Lan En was in mid-air, and although he was wearing heavy armor, he inexplicably had a light texture.

His [Light Body Breathing Method] has become like an instinct.

The demon hunter was pulled directly onto the head of the Flame Dragon by the mechanical contraction of the hook.

The soles of the armored [Smaug]'s boots were stepping on the ears of the Flame Queen Dragon, and his dragon scale leather gloves were grabbing the huge pale blue crown horns.

The blue-purple flames were smoldering, and there was a "crackling" sound between the armor parts.

However, this set of armor with a dull bone-white color and a cold, hard metallic texture remained unharmed under the flames of the Flame Queen Dragon.

If it was the previous set of Grandmaster-level Bear School armor, Lan En would never have adopted the strategy of close combat when facing the Yangyan Dragon, a monster with super high temperatures all around it.

But now this set was made by the dwarves of Lonely Mountain, who plucked the dragon scales and skin of the evil dragon Smaug and carried out rough processing of the parts.

The armor was designed and assembled by the master blacksmith of the witcher in the magical medieval times and the leader of the second phase of the New World Investigation Team.

Its excellent protective performance has been fully demonstrated in the first actual combat.

The smoldering blue-purple flames licked the armor, but not even a trace of charring was left.

The dragon-skin skirt armor, which looked like old cloth, simply fluttered in the surge of hot air and had no reaction at all to the ultra-high temperature flames themselves.

To be honest, wearing this armor, Lan En felt that he could step on lava without any damage.

"Bang!!!"

The sound of the impact was long and deep, like the evening bells of a church.

The dark big sword was pulled out from the alchemical leather bag at Lan En's lower back, and then the light red flame of his fighting spirit flashed!
Standing on the side of the fallen Yan Feilong, the three-stage explosive flame of [Charged Slash] condensed.

Although there is no chance to upgrade to [Strong·Charged Slash], let alone the stage of [True·Charged Slash].

However, this sword strike still caused Yan Feilong's head, which was already lying on the ground, to be smashed back to the ground!
The rocks on the ground had already become somewhat molten due to contact with the Flame Queen Dragon, and this sudden smash almost caused the liquid, shiny lava to spread out in a diffuse splash!

Lan En's sword landed on the side of Yan Feilong's neck.

The power of [Turbid Flow·Destruction] was fully displayed when dealing with this normal creature with flesh and blood.

The outer surface of Hei Chenchen's sword was a cold bone-white blade, which was made of the same material as the thorns on the body of the Annihilator Dragon. It first smashed the scales of the Flame Queen Dragon where it landed.

The hot blood was almost squeezed out of the wound with a 'pop' sound!

Then, after "tasting" the high-quality flesh and blood of the Flame Queen Dragon, the sword almost couldn't wait to release a black mist with blood-red lightning.

【Dragon attribute energy】!
These corrosive energies penetrate into the smallest wounds, attempting to plunder more blood, flesh and nutrients.

"Ouch!!!"

The sword not only hurt the Flame Queen Dragon, but it also made it dizzy. Its limbs, claws and wings fluttered wildly on the ground.

As if trying to shake off its attacker with violent movements.

But it is not very good at getting rid of close enemies.

Because in the ecological habits of Yangyan Dragon, they rarely encounter creatures that dare to approach them.

With such abnormally high temperatures, it’s good enough that they don’t get close to others.

Lan En also jumped down immediately after this sword and distanced himself from Yan Feilong.

Yangyan Dragons are indeed not very good at dealing with enemies that cling to them, but that is when they are blind.

Just now, after Lan En swung his sword, he immediately noticed that the pupils of the Flame Queen Dragon were slowly dilating from the extremely contracted state after being stimulated.

This shows that its vision is gradually recovering from the influence of the [Flash Bug Cage].

Faced with a Flame Dragon that had regained its vision, Lan En decided to retreat immediately.

The demon hunter took the lead and made a hideous gash under the mane on the Flame Dragon's neck, then immediately jumped down from its side.

And in the next moment, with a loud "whoosh" sound, the pale blue wings fanned up waves on the already molten ground.

The sticky and heavy lava under the wings of the Flame Queen Dragon presented a texture like water waves.

Not only that, the wind from the wings seemed to spread the blue-purple flames that were originally only on the Flame Queen Dragon.

The flames spread out under the wind, forming a large circle of flames surrounding the Flame Queen Dragon.

The temperature in the air became hotter and hotter as the area of ​​the blue-purple flame grew larger.

As a last resort, the hunter and the cats drank another bottle of [Cold Drink].

Lan En glanced around and saw that the Flame Dragon's special flame had occupied a large area in this sunken terrain.

If we fight again, these flames will compress the space for movement very much, it will be like dancing on a tightrope.

And it was obvious that the Flame Queen Dragon really wanted to spread its flames over every inch of the arena!
Yan Feilong stood up from the ground, the corners of her mouth twitching uncontrollably because of her rage.

The shaking and friction between the fangs and canine teeth were creating sparks.

Its eyes stared fiercely at the hunters.

And on the side of its neck, there was a sudden indentation in the originally fluffy and dense pale blue mane.

That was exactly where Lan En had chopped him off, and bright red blood was still flowing down his pale blue mane.

But the blood was quickly covered by the blue-purple flames.

Lan En estimated that the wound on Yan Feilong's neck was almost twenty centimeters deep!

At least several of its blood vessels were cut off, and dragon energy also invaded it.

However, with the ancient dragon-level vitality, these injuries were not a big deal for the Flame Queen Dragon.

"It's really exaggerated." Lan En observed the wound he left behind with his pupils. "No matter how many times I see this kind of vitality, it seems exaggerated."

"It's normal." Winder said indifferently, dancing the two swords in his hands smoothly to keep the feel. "At least compared with the recovery ability of the Nergigante, isn't it much more normal?"

"That's true."

Lann responded wordlessly and hefted the greatsword onto his shoulder.

Compared to the Nergigante, which had more than half of its bones broken but stood up again within a minute and slapped you in the face with its claws, the performance of the Flame Queen Dragon can be described as "restrained".

However, as both are ancient dragons, Flame Dragon's physical abilities are not as good as Nergigante's because it has other strengths.

Yan Feilong lowered his body and looked at the two hunters in front of him with furious eyes.

At the same time, a threatening gurgling sound was coming from the injured throat.

The flames on it are growing stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, Yan Feilong lowered its body, pushed its front paws against the ground, and its upper body suddenly stood up.

And at this moment, its wings flapped forward vigorously.

The purple scales and the blue-purple flames on the ground were suddenly spread forward by the wind as it flapped its wings!
The stickiness of this strange flame caused the originally small-scale flame to burn out a wide passage!

Lan and Winder immediately dodged to their own sides.

Lan En used the [Acceleration Technique] and his entire body turned into smoke, while Winder was more plain and just flew over.

But at least he made room so that the blue-purple flames wouldn't spread and burn his body directly.

But after Lan En dodged, his eyes, which had already become deep, suddenly shrank after he looked at Yan Feilong!
And in the next moment.
The Flame Queen Dragon used wind pressure to fan out a path of fire, but did not let its upright upper body fall down again. Instead, it leaped up and flew into the air.

Its wings flapped only slightly, but it was abnormally enough to allow it to float.

That's because the sudden rise in heat pushes it upwards!

What is this guy going to do?!
