The ancient dragon of Arknights

"Meow!? Aren't we sleeping in Londinium? Am I dreaming!?"

In addition to the steady voice of the follower cat, there were two panicked voices - the scholar cat and the craftsman cat.

"Oh? You two little guys were also brought in?"

"Meow? Neltharion, meow, what's going on?"

"Is this... the 'world in dreams' that Senior Meowth said?"

Compared to the panic of the craftsman cat, the scholar cat adapted very quickly. Combined with the mutual recognition of the previous follower cat and Nessario, he quickly thought of the current situation.

"What should I do? These two little guys are not combatants, are they? It will be very dangerous to take them with you."

Nessario really wanted to let scholar cats and craftsman cats explore around at will. The former could observe the ecological environment, summarize the experience of botany, and maybe promote the development of the botany research institute; the latter could create weapons and equipment. Maybe Artisan Meow can make a stronger set of equipment on the spot for Neltharion to use.

But allowing the two El cats who are not combatants to act as they please... I believe the monsters wouldn't mind trying the taste of cat meat.

Although it won't kill them, it will cause serious damage to the psyches of the two little guys.

"Looking for a place that can be used as a camp, where young scholars and craftsmen will be active."

"Okay meow!"

"We will work hard, meow!"

With the experienced hunting experience of Meow, one person and three cats quickly found a valley that could be used as a camp. The narrow entrance was not conducive to monsters entering, and the location was hidden and not easy to be targeted by ferocious predators.

"Then, you two, start your research around here and look forward to your results."

After placing the two non-combatants, Neltharion and his follower Meow began to move quickly.

"Follow meow, do you still remember what we thought before?"

"Of course—come with me."

According to what Meow said - this world is completely no different from the "real world" he is familiar with, then - does the original New World Investigation Team exist?

"Neltharion, you are not from this world. So you don't understand it."

"I don't know at all. I just hope other hunters don't kill me by then."

The follower Meow explained to Neltharion about hunters, the Hunters Guild, the New World Survey Group, ancient dragons, etc. while searching for a way.

"I heard you say that everyone in the investigation team is a noble person with dreams?"

"Yes, I can assure you. Once you integrate into the investigation team, you will never want to leave again."

"Haha... But after all, I am not from this world. Let's see then."

"..."

Meow, the follower, didn’t know what to say anymore. He used to be a member of the investigation team. He was originally assisting the hunters in hunting, but he encountered a strange fluctuation and traveled to the continent of Terra.

Now - it seems that he can't return to the investigation team.

'Maybe the scholars of the investigation team will come up with something.Moreover, everyone will definitely be interested in him. '

The follower, Meow, looked at Neltharion beside him. He knew very well the special characteristics of this young hunter, being able to evolve the same characteristics as a dragon; this was something that had never happened before in the entire history of hunters.

One person and one cat were walking through the forest quickly. According to the follower Meow, the base of the investigation team was set up not far from the coast. As long as you walked out of the forest, you could see the towering buildings of the investigation team.

"Follow meow...do you feel like it's too dark around you?"

"It's true... No matter how lush the branches are, the sunlight can't be so weak."

Neltharion quickly went back to back with his follower, Meow, one person and one cat watching out for each other.

Rustling——accompanied by the sound of the bushes moving, several figures rushed out from the bushes.

With their small bodies, lizard-like heads, and intertwined yellow and cyan scales—these little monsters don’t look threatening.

"It's a thief dragon...the most common guy in the forest. It's not a threat. But it's very courageous. They will take a look at any movement."

Follower Meow relaxed his vigilance, thinking that some dangerous monster was coming, but he didn't expect it was just a small thief dragon.

"No...look into their eyes."

Neltharion's beastly instincts were buzzing wildly, and he knew very well that this was not what the thief dragon could bring - there was something else around!

The eyes of the thief dragons are protruding and bloodshot, and the entire eyeball is filled with blood red. This is definitely not a normal phenomenon!

"careful!"

While one man and one cat were on guard, countless branches quickly sprang out from behind the trees. They intertwined and broke out of the soil, and finally headed towards Neltharion and his follower, Meow.

With a flick of the steel tail, most of the branches that were suddenly attacked were cut off, and the rest were unable to restrain the man and cat that were picked up.

"What is this!?"

"I don't know!"

When in doubt, a flash bomb was waiting for him - Nesario directly raised the projector on his left hand and fired towards the trees.

As the dazzling flash exploded, the trees that were originally covering the eyes were suddenly lit up - a tall and lanky terrifying shadow was discovered among them.

It has human-like limbs, but its proportions are completely out of proportion and appears extremely slender. The body is wrapped in rags. What is revealed from behind the torn cloth strips is not flesh and blood, but skin like wood bark.

What's even more frightening is its hands - a pair of sharp claws that look like bone and wood are still stained with blood; the head does not look like a human head, but a deer head like white bones, with a pair of huge skulls. White wide angle.

This appearance is definitely terrifying enough to make a child stop crying.

"Wendigo?"

Neltharion remembered the military knowledge he had learned - the section on the Ursus Empire focused on an army, a desperate army formed by Sarkaz.

The composition of that army is the Wendigo, a branch of Sakaz.

Neltharion has never seen a Wendigo, but from the endless "scary" and "nightmares" in the books, we can know that the Wendigo looks absolutely scary.

Just like this guy in front of me.

No.70 Sanlu Shoujing

"Meow! What kind of monster is that!"

"I don't know him. He's a monster I've never heard of."

'In other words, it's a brand new and unknown monster! ? '

Although the guy in front of him is almost exactly the same as the legendary Wendigo, this is not Terra, so it is only similar.

This guy's malice almost hit his face. The blood on his claws has not dried yet. This guy is an executioner!

The effect of the flash bomb wore off quickly, and Neltharion and his follower Meow quickly launched an attack.

Sharp steel claws stretched out from his fists, and the sharp blade tail thrust forward along with Neltharion; attacks from three directions all hit - unexpectedly, the terrifying guy in front of him didn't look very good. It is so agile that it barely dodges Neltharion's attacks.

"Successful!"

"Don't take it lightly!"

Follower Meow's hunting experience tells it that there are usually only two situations when a monster does not dodge attacks. The first is when it is too weak to dodge; the second is when it has absolute confidence in its own defense.

Crack - With the sound of the sharp blade piercing the trees, Neltharion did feel that his attack had hit, but the monster in front of him didn't seem to have any painful reaction.

"hiss--"

With a strange sound of inhaling, the monster raised its claws. Its movements were so slow that Neltharion could even predict its attack route.

Plop - Neltharion rolled away regardless of his image, and the monster's claws fell.

"..."

"What happened to you just now?"

"I feel something is wrong... There seems to be something strange around this guy."

"Specifically?"

"It's like there is source stone technology..."

Neltharion was not exaggerating. The fight he had just fought with the monster's forge didn't look dangerous at all, but the moment the opponent attacked, his consciousness fell into a trance. If it weren't for the strong willpower that refreshed him, he would have just been That move probably hit.

"Many ancient dragons also have powerful abilities. The guy in front of me may have some special abilities."

"I'll try again."

Neltharion regained his strength, believing that it wouldn't be long before he could decipher the secret of the monster before him.

"Roar--"

Just when one man and one cat were planning to attack again, the monster suddenly roared.

Following this roar, the surrounding tree shadows began to stir, and the originally peaceful forest seemed to come alive. The leaves began to shake and the shadows began to spread.

"quack--"

As the trees flashed, multiple thief dragons and a flock of black birds flew out from behind the trees. The birds began to surround the monster like a storm, and the thief dragons were eyeing Neltharion with ill intentions.

"Can you control other small monsters?"

"It's a tough enemy, nya."

"Leave the Thief Dragon to you, I'll deal with that guy."

"Don't worry, leave it to me, meow."

Neltharion did not look at the surrounding thief dragons at all, but charged towards the monster in the distance.

The "order" given to the thieving dragons was to kill Neltharion, so naturally they would not watch him leave. Their thin bodies began to burst out with strength, and they used themselves to knock him down.

"Your opponent is me!"

Meow, the follower, pulled out El Cat's special weapon from his waist. Its light weight gave it great maneuverability. He kept jumping around the thief dragon, and from time to time he saw the opportunity to pierce the enemy's body with the sword blade.

Neltharion, who had no worries, almost turned himself into a human cannon. He wanted to try to knock this monster to the ground. That was the time for him to attack fiercely.

"Death to me!"

The technique used to deal with the secret agents last time was very practical. This allowed Neltharion to master a move that only he could use, which was the volley and roundhouse slash - turning on the violent transformation, and then jumping forward and flipping while charging at high speed. The strong inertia and explosive growth of power will turn the tail into a vicious guillotine. If it hits a human body, I believe it can be directly split in half.

'Look how you hide with this slow body! '

clang--! !

The steel blade struck the stone with a ringing sound that was so clear that it made people's teeth hurt. The hard rocks on the ground that had been beaten by wind and rain were also split, but the original target disappeared.

"quack!"

The black birds began to bite and peck around Neltharion. He raised his hands to protect his eyes, and then waved his tail to drive them away.

Swish—accompanied by the sound of flapping birds' wings and the gathering of black breath, the ugly monster "condensed" again not far behind Neltharion.

"Damn energy conversion and short-distance movement again!?"

Neltharion thought of that damn agent. This monster had exactly the same abilities as him.

"Neltharion! Run away!"

"Ah!? Why?"

Meow, the follower, took some effort to finish off the thief dragon. He had just watched the whole process from the side. As a Terran, Neltharion was not surprised by this kind of "energy conversion, short-distance flash" and other abilities, because Originium craft can do the same thing.

But Hunter World does not have such ability!Even the ancient dragons, who are as powerful as natural disasters, have abilities that basically conform to physical logic.The terrifying monster in front of me shows a completely different horror from the ancient dragons!

"Our world doesn't have that kind of ability! This guy is not a normal thing! Run away!"

"*Colombian expletive*! What the hell am I fighting!"

Neltharion also knew that he had done a very bold thing due to lack of intelligence, so he simply escaped before the battle became intense. It was still too late to escape.

"Hoohoho-"

The deer-headed monster did not pursue it directly. It was too slow to do such a thing; so it used the magic it was best at.

I saw the humanoid monster leaning down and piercing the terrifying claws into the ground. Then - the soil layer was overturned, and tree roots surged up from the ground. They were arranged in tight rows, criss-crossed, like a cage. All the surrounding escape routes are blocked.

"Neltharion!"

"I'll cut it off!"

Neltharion still doesn't know what the opponent's full strength is, but the combination of the energy skills and the ability to manipulate nature will definitely make it very troublesome to kill him.

Neltharion is proficient in physical means. If his claws and tail cannot touch the opponent and cause effective damage, then he will be finished.

Before the intelligence is clear, let's make a tactical retreat from this battle.
