Chapter 90 87: Thunder God’s Sword

A high concentration of magic energy escapes from the cave, and purple crystal giant scorpions appear at the same time. All signs indicate that what is buried under this mountain is probably a vein of raw magic crystal ore.

Because this mineral vein is located within the territory of Linfeng City, Linfeng City is bound to get it both emotionally and rationally.

How to deal with the Xia Huilong guarding outside the cave has become the problem they have to face now.

To put it bluntly, even if there is no treasure in the cave, Xia Huilong must be expelled.

This place is too close to a human stronghold, and Linfeng City cannot rely on the safety of its resource points and guards to coexist peacefully with it.

Therefore, after obtaining information about the cave and Xia Huilong, Evelin immediately invited Ryan to discuss the battle plan.

"If you want to fight, you have to do it with the determination to conquer rather than expel." After hearing the cause and effect, Ryan said.

Xia Huilong likes places where magic power is abundant. It undoubtedly regards this cave as its new territory and will not give it up so easily.

Moreover, the intelligence of high-level monsters is already comparable to that of humans. They are all beasts that hold grudges.

Once you become enemies with them, if you let the tiger return to the mountains, you may have troubles in the future.

"A seventh-level sub-dragon species..." Nolen listened to their conversation and looked at Ryan, "The only one in the city who has the strength to compete with Xia Huilong head-on is probably you, the leader, right?"

Xia Huilong is also considered to be the top existence among the seventh-level monsters. The ordinary seventh-level knights are not its opponents. Only the eighth-level knight Ryan can definitely beat it.

"I can defeat it, but I'm not sure I can kill it."

Ryan shook his head, "Xia Huilong can fly because it has the blood of the dragon clan and has strong vitality.

“And we have never fought against it, and we don’t know its specific combat methods.

"If I can't make it lose its ability to resist immediately after joining the battle, it will most likely arouse its alertness. If it escapes early, the purpose of the crusade will not be achieved."

The office fell silent, and Nolen mused: "We should first send a team of comparable strength to fight it, so as not to alarm it and understand its specific strengths and weaknesses.

"After we are completely sure of defeating it, let Commander Ryan take action and give it the final blow at the critical moment."

"That's right." Evelin nodded, "Let the knights explore its details first."

There are 9 seventh-level knights and 8 sixth-level mages in the knights. Although none of them individually is a match for Xia Huilong, uniting together is enough to put a lot of pressure on it.

Ryan had no objection to this, and the battle plan was quickly drawn up. Before the sun set, he left Linfeng City with the remaining members of the Knights and ran towards the Linfeng Mountains.

"The new magic crystal ore vein..."

Evelin opened the window and looked at the sunset in the distance, "If you had known that we had a mineral vein, you wouldn't have had to deal with Flamel for so long in the past few days."

“But it’s not without gain.” Nolen smiled, “Looking on the bright side, at least we have reached a cooperative relationship with Flamel.

"In addition to magic crystals, they also provided us with technical support related to other magic devices, which is also a good thing for us."

In addition, another good thing is that once Linfeng City gets rid of its dependence on Flamel's magic crystal, Flamel will have a lot less chips.

If they had spared no effort to hide their core alchemy achievements before, and only used magic crystals and leftover alchemy technology to trade with Linfeng City.

If they still want to establish a cooperative relationship with Linfeng City in the future, they must give all their most precious alchemy achievements.

Such as extraordinary potions, human body refining technology, etc...

Well, if you don't kill them once, wouldn't it be a waste of God's wonderful blessing to Linfeng City?

……

Because it attached great importance to this mine, Linfeng City gathered most of its top combat forces in the Linfeng Mountains area.

It only took a day for the Knights and the Linfeng Legion to sweep away the invading groups of monsters. At the same time, according to the plan, an elite team composed of seventh-level knights and sixth-level mages began to move towards the cave.

Yuna drove the Valkyrie to follow the elite team's flank, serving as battle observation and fire support.

Ryan hid his aura and hung a hundred meters away from the team.

In principle, he will not take action in this battle, but is just here to act as an insurance policy.

"Xia Huilong, this is my first time seeing a dragon monster."

In the team, Julius was in high spirits, "Whoever can cut off its head today will be our dragon-slaying warrior!"

This elite team has gathered seven seventh-level knights and five sixth-level mages, all of whom are captains and elites of the knights. Except for the leader Ryan, they are the top combat power in Linfeng City.

"Don't take it lightly." Agathe said solemnly, "Even if it is a sub-dragon species, it cannot be matched by ordinary seventh-level monsters. Our mission this time is just a test, don't go too hard."

"Haha, it's just talk, don't be so serious."

Julius wondered, who could sit in the position of captain would be an arrogant fool.

While chatting casually, the team arrived at the designated coordinates. After passing through the forest, they saw the collapsed mountain and a winged flying dragon covered in dark green scales entrenched next to the mountain.

It is the seventh-level magical beast Xia Huilong that the intelligence said.

Seeing them intruding into his territory, Xia Huilong straightened up, spread his glazed wings and roared at them in warning.

Several seventh-level knights gathered together, and even it had to take it seriously.

"dispersion!"

An older seventh-level knight in the team took the lead in dismounting, picking up his bow and arrows and giving instructions at the same time.

He is Guderian, the deputy leader of the Knights and the captain of the second team. This battle was commanded by him on the spot.

The team members dismounted and scattered. For high-level knights, the mobility and impact of their physical bodies were even higher than with horses.

After the formation was opened, Guderian aimed at Xia Huilong's eyes and shot the first arrow, kicking off the battle.

His bow is a specially made knight's hard bow, which can only be pulled by the strength of a high-level knight supplemented by magic power. The arrows he shoots are also extremely fast, and they arrive in front of Xia Huilong in the blink of an eye with the sound of tearing through the air.

Xia Huilong seemed to have just woken up from a nap, and was overtaken by this swift arrow. Although he turned his head to dodge, he did not completely avoid it.

The sharp arrows grazed the dark green scales on its face, leaving an obvious scar from which little bits of blood could be faintly seen overflowing.

A good start?

Unexpectedly, Guderian's first arrow injured Xia Huilong. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their morale was boosted by this unexpected surprise.

Hehe, even the dragon monsters that were so impressive before the war would be injured if they hit them, right?

They were also at level seven and had a numerical advantage, so there was nothing to be afraid of. Taking advantage of the advantage of being first, Julius reached Xia Huilong's flank with a few moves and dodges. With a deep shout, he slashed at Xia Huilong's glazed wings with the knight's sword in his hand.

But at this moment, Guderian shouted: "Be careful——"

On this side, the injured Xia Huilong instantly entered a berserk state. It raised its wings and screamed sharply. With it as the center of the circle, a lightning field quickly spread out.

The sixth level thunder spell "Lightning Storm".

A large number of thunderbolts fell from the sky, and blue-purple arcs of lightning streaked across the ground, forcing back the knights who tried to get closer.

Julius retreated hastily. At this moment, in the flash of thunder and lightning, a huge dark green scythe divided his field of vision into two, and slashed towards him sharply!

At the critical moment, he raised the arm shield of his left hand to block his chest, and the dark green scythe made a heartbreaking sound of cutting on the arm shield. The power was so powerful that even a seventh-level knight could not withstand it and was knocked down by the impact. Fly a few meters away.

Xia Huilong jumped out of the lightning storm, and the dark green sickle was nothing but its original glazed wings.

At this time, its entire body was entangled with electricity, and the surface of its pair of glazed wings hardened into the same dark green color as its own scales, becoming a murder weapon that could easily split mountains and rubble.

It flapped its wings again towards Julius, who was flying upside down. Julius secretly screamed that he was about to suffer. At this moment, several magic barriers such as rock walls and ice crystals were erected in front of his eyes.

The high-level mage on the side took action to rescue him. Xia Huilong smashed the magic barrier with several wings. Julius took advantage of this gap to take a breath and retreated to the rear to regroup.

"Are you okay?" Agathe stood in front of him, "I told you not to be too desperate."

"Who told me that 'Xia Huilong is good at using spells'? I thought close combat would be beneficial to us!"

Julius covered his stuffy chest and said angrily, "This beast's physical strength is really unreasonable. Don't think of melee combat. We can't possibly defeat him!"

After being slashed from the front by Xia Huilong's wing, even his arm shield had a visible gap, showing its power.

"No, that's not the case." Agathe said solemnly, "I'm afraid... this is the reason why its status has changed."

If Xia Huilong's physical strength has always been so strong, then the first arrow shot by Guderian just now should not have broken its defense.

It should be that the electrified state of its whole body temporarily strengthened its body, which caused its power to surpass that of the seventh-level knight.

"Defend with all your strength, dodge!" Guderian shouted while retreating, "It can't last long in this state!"

Everyone present can feel that since the battle began, Xia Huilong has been releasing a large amount of magic power all the time to maintain the electrified and strengthened state of the whole body. Such a huge consumption of magic power will soon exhaust its magic power.

However, defense and dodge... are easy to say!

In the enhanced state, Xia Huilong's physical strength is comparable to that of an eighth-level monster. Every attack it launches with its body is accompanied by thunder and lightning, and the earth trembles. The seventh-level knights present are unable to even dodge, let alone resist it head-on. .

Fortunately, there were enough seventh-level knights present. They were all comrades in the knights, and there was a tacit understanding of cooperation.

They took turns stepping forward to attract Xia Huilong's attention. As soon as one person was knocked away or injured, several others would immediately rush forward to attract firepower and draw its hatred back again.

Coupled with the fact that the mages in the outer field alternately cast defensive spells, they really restrained Xia Huilong for dozens of seconds.

"It's almost out of strength!"

Soon, Julius keenly noticed the changes in Xia Huilong. Its attack was no longer as ferocious as before, and its dark green wings were quietly fading back to their original glazed color.

However, after the knights experienced Xia Huilong's wrath just now, their blood was boiling and their hands and feet were weak, making it difficult to organize a threatening counterattack.

"Mage team, attack!" Guderian immediately ordered.

"Yes!"

The mages at the back of the battlefield began to chant spells and used the remaining magic power to cast high-level spells.

In the sky, Yuna also raised the magic cannon and silently pointed the muzzle at Xia Huilong.

With the combined efforts of the five high-level mages, the color of the world changed, and a large number of elements began to gather around them.

In order to prevent being affected by high-level spells, the knights evacuated backwards.

Then, amid the sonorous chants of the mages, violent torrents of elements poured out towards Xia Huilong!

"Ice Prison!"

"Hurricane roars!"

"Meteorites falling from the sky!"

"Eye of the Storm!"

"The lifeline is withered!"

As soon as Xia Huilong covered its body with its wings, five sixth-level spells fell on it one after another, completely covering its huge body.

The ice bloomed, the wind raged, the rocks fell... The visions of heaven and earth caused by high-level spells were much more gorgeous than the simple physical attacks of the knights. Seeing that all the spells hit Xia Huilong, everyone present felt certain.

So many high-level spells are thrown down, even if you are immortal, you will have to shed your skin.

The chaotic flow of elements lasted for more than ten seconds before gradually stabilizing. The dormant body of Xia Huilong slowly emerged from the dust. A mage in the mage team suddenly frowned:

"wrong……"

In his perception, Xia Huilong's magical response has not dimmed due to the baptism of high-level spells. On the contrary -

Its magical response is actually constantly improving!

"Be careful!" Guderian also noticed the increasingly strong magic reaction and quickly warned.

"boom!"

The next moment, along with the roar of Xia Huilong, countless thunderbolts fell.

The lightning storm it released this time was larger and more violent than before, completely covering an area of ​​several miles.

"How is that possible? Where does it come from with so much magic power!"

Julius was horrified. He saw Xia Huilong fluttering its wings out of the lightning storm, and its glazed wings reflected a dazzling rainbow-like colorful light under the sunlight.

Those five sixth-level spells couldn't even hurt it at all!

Not only that, its momentum continues to grow.

I saw a dazzling blue light shining on the crown of Xiahui Dragon's head. Countless electric arcs danced on the surface of the blue light. The green light then condensed into a beam of light and shot straight into the sky.

Seventh level thunder spell: "Thunder God's Sword".

Under Julius' desperate gaze, Xia Huilong tossed his head, and the cyan thunder god sword cut through the sky and slashed towards him.
