The ancient dragon of Arknights

"The Seal of Igni."

Along with a low spell, a flame suddenly struck from the side.

The scorching flames burned the originally sealed road, and the tree roots that broke out of the soil seemed to be afraid of this strange flame.

Help is coming! ?

Chapter 74 The Witcher and the Hunter

"Deer-headed spirit? It seems that the changes in the forest were caused by you."

As the flames extinguished, a strangely dressed man slowly walked out of the ashes.

There are several scars all over his face, and his skin looks weathered, but his snow-white silver hair is extremely smooth and looks extremely divine; he wears medieval-style chainmail, gloves and boots commonly used by hunters, and he is The only weapons he carries are two swords - one steel sword and one silver sword.

"Um...are you the hunter here?"

According to the follower Meow, most of the equipment worn by hunters is made of monster materials or ore materials, so the dressing style is very wild; just like Neltharion at this time, but the dressing style of the uncle in front of him is not It's wild and can be considered retro at best.

"I am a witcher, but you...are you a hunter?"

The silver-haired uncle looked at Neltharion, and after seeing the armor on his body, he had a rough guess about his identity. The only thing that made him pause for a few seconds was Neltharion's unique tail, claws, and horns.

"Yes, my name is Neltharion. I am a hunter who has just arrived here."

With that said, Neltharion dodged the branches surrounding him. If he was tightly entangled by the branches, he would probably be twisted to death.

"My name is Geralt, the witcher. This guy in front of me is my job."

After saying that, Geralt waved his hand and released a fan-shaped flame. The hot flame seemed to have magic power. It wiped out most of the black birds in one fell swoop. The thief dragon that touched the flame also died quickly. What was even more eye-catching was It was the deer-headed spirit—this guy started struggling violently after being burned by the flames.

Whoa - as the silver sword was unsheathed, Geralt began his performance like a master of swordsmanship; compared to Neltharion's cool combat skills that were like flying tops, Geralt's moves were more " Stereotypic”.

Slashing, slashing, reverse slashing - his moves are all the most basic swordsmanship moves, but every attack accurately lands on the monster's most vulnerable position, coupled with the restraint effect of silver weapons, Geralt In just a few moves, the deer-headed spirit was damaged.

Quack—accompanied by the noisy cries of the birds, the deer-headed spirit dissipated again, turning into black breath and running towards the depths of the forest.

"Don't try to run."

After Geralt said that, he chased after him, but... his speed was really not commendable.

"Let me help too."

Neltharion looked at the vines falling from the trees, jumped up and grabbed the vines, then began to move as nimbly as Tarzan. There were many places that could be used in the forest. This was a move that hunters must learn.

"...Young people are full of energy."

Geralt sighed and continued on his way. The witcher's control over traces was as good as that of a hunter, and he would never lose sight of his target.

A monster, two people, and a cat chased each other in the forest for a long time, and finally stopped on a flat land.

"Instead of choosing the more advantageous forest terrain, you chose the flat land instead? You're looking for death!"

It’s not like Neltharion didn’t learn anything. Just now, Geralt used a fire spell that was similar to the Origin Stone technique—the effect was very objective.

Trees are afraid of fire, even the trees that have become spirits!

Hard edge grinding!

As the steel tail streaked across the ground at high speed, the tail blade glowed and heated due to the violent friction - a raging flame shot out from Neltharion's steel tail.

The raging flames began to burn, but had no effect on the deer-headed spirit. He created a wall of trees to block the attack.

The deer-headed spirit was quite angry at Neltharion's behavior of throwing fire. With a wave of his hand, the birds surrounding him quickly attacked Neltharion.

This offensive looks ordinary, but in fact it hides a murderous intention. The birds are scattered and the attack cannot completely intercept them; and their sensitive claws and beaks can peck the eyes and skin in an inadvertent moment.

Neltharion stretched out his claws, and the dragon danced wildly!

The eight claws created a wall with rapid slashes, and the flying birds were quickly dismembered and torn under the intensive slashes.

"Neltharion! Soles of your feet!"

"!"

The flock of birds is just smokescreen, the real attack is delivered by the deer-headed spirit himself.

He hid behind the tree wall and dug his claws into the soil again. While Neltharion was defending against the birds, a large number of tree roots suddenly grew around his feet.

Boom - Countless tree roots burst out of the ground, like a violent explosion, and the power they erupted directly lifted Neltharion away from them.

Neltharion grasped his balance the moment he landed, and he seemed to be fine.

'Zhan Long's leg muscles and balance ability are both outstanding, otherwise he would have been doomed by that blow just now. '

Neltharion's reaction was very quick. The moment the tree roots spread, he stepped on it and used his strength to push. The ferocious impact did not hit him, but pushed him high into the air. go out.

"The Seal of Igni."

Along with the familiar spell sound, the fan-shaped flames struck again, burning the deer-headed spirit together with its tree walls.

Compared with the physical phenomenon caused by Neltharion's friction and heat, Geralt's flame has a more significant effect, and there is an essential difference between the two.

"Young hunter, you and I will join hands and kill it together."

"Ok!"

The silver sword light and hot steel tail were ready to attack, just as the flames on the deer-headed spirit were about to extinguish.

The two men burst into flames in an instant, and the silver sword light and the steel blade whirled left and right to cut off the deer-headed spirit.

"Huh... thanks a lot, Uncle Geralt."

"Yes. Next, we have to report to the commander-in-chief of the investigation team that the entrusted task has been solved."

"Uh...this."

"Meow! It doesn't matter."

Nesario originally wanted to ask something about the investigation team.

But Meowth stopped him, and he shook his head at Neltharion, indicating that there was nothing to worry about.

Geralt fired the flare on his waist into the sky, and the bright flare illuminated the entire night sky - before he knew it, it was already night?

It seemed that the deer-headed spirit's spell affected Neltharion's judgment of the surrounding environment. He thought it was still noon.

"Neltharion, remember what I said? You can see it in the clearing."

"Could it be!?"

Nessario cast his gaze into the distance - and sure enough, where the tall trees gradually became scarcer, he could see a ship elevated by various buildings.

"Why put the ship so high!?"

Neltharion originally thought that the hunter's stronghold would have a more primitive and simple beauty, but this wonder-like building instantly shattered his fantasy.

Chapter 75 Blue Star

Not long after the flare was launched, an uncle with dark skin, white hair and scars rushed towards the body of the deer-headed spirit with a girl who looked very young and energetic.

They discovered Geralt and Neltharion as soon as they arrived at the scene. The calm uncle walked towards Geralt and exchanged information with him; while the energetic-looking girl was curiously surrounding the deer-headed spirit. An investigation was launched into the body.

It seems that for local hunters, such monsters are very rare.

"Thank you for your efforts. Thanks to you, we can solve the changes in the forest."

"This is the duty of a witcher, as long as the reward is in place."

"Of course, we're ready."

While Geralt was chatting with the uncle, Nessario learned from his attendant Meow that the uncle with stories written all over his body was the commander-in-chief of the investigation team; as for the young lady who had observed the corpse of the deer-headed spirit, She was currently taking out the reward from her pocket to give it to Geralt.

"No need, I can't use this world's currency... As a reward, give me part of this guy's materials."

"no problem."

The Commander-in-Chief is a very enlightened leader, and Nessario got to know him to a certain extent through his follower Meow. Not only did he do an outstanding job in managing the investigation team, but he even directed many large-scale hunts.

"Didn't you say you wanted to be a general before? The Commander-in-Chief is a good learning target, Nessario, come on."

The attendants Meow and Neltharion stood aside without speaking, waiting for Geralt and the Commander-in-Chief to finish explaining.

"Also, this young man, he is not a hunter in the stronghold; but he also adds a lot of help to my mission."

"you are?"

The Commander-in-Chief had also noticed this hunter before. He really did not remember that there was such a hunter in the camp. He thought he was a helper brought by Geralt.

"Commander-in-Chief, meow, long time no see."

"You are!? The missing follower, Meow! What's going on?"

Obviously, Meowth has indeed disappeared from this world, and Nessario can be sure that what he experienced was not a dream, but a real world.

'But why can I be here?Even if you are killed, nothing will happen... You can even conjure weapons out of thin air...'

This is all too fantastic, and these questions will probably puzzle Neltharion for a long time.

"Anyway, let's go back to the stronghold first."

Attendant Meow did not take off his swinging eel hood even in this extremely formal occasion, and the Commander-in-Chief had no objections to this. It seemed that... the investigation team was indeed an easy-going place.

......

Uncle Geralt left. He collected the materials, entrusted something to the receptionist, and left on his own. According to what he said - he was also a visitor to another world, and the magic circle built by the deer-headed spirit could travel back and forth freely. In two worlds, such unbelievable things become reasonable under the explanation of magic.

It's a pity that he himself is not good at this technology, otherwise, Neltharion would have wanted to ask him to try to open Terra's portal.It's time for that damn continent of Terra to see what the power of dragons is.

"In other words, did you encounter a magical power similar to 'magic' while hunting and went to other worlds?"

"Yes, besides me, there were two other El cats who died on the way to the New World, and they also appeared there."

"Well... several supply ships heading to the New World did crash due to the storm, and the rescue team started search and rescue work a long time ago."

It seems that the commander-in-chief has white hair for a reason. Other generals and presidents at most need to think about war, politics and other routine mental work; the commander-in-chief of the investigation team even needs to deal with visitors from another world. This is no longer an ordinary person. It’s something that can be easily decided!

This is a collision of diverse worlds!It can make scholars go completely crazy with their research!

"Then this one?"

"This is what I want to say. Commander-in-Chief, this little brother is a native of that world. But when he is sleeping, there is a chance that he will arrive in our world - Neltharion, yourself Let’s explain.”

Meowth patted Neltharion's tail with his flesh pad, signaling for him to explain himself.

"Hello, Commander-in-Chief. My name is Neltharion, and I am from Terra - this matter has to start from my childhood..."

Neltharion explained to the Commander-in-Chief his first arrival in this world as a child, his first successful hunt, the changes in his body, the weapons and equipment that appeared out of thin air, etc.

Neltharion never reveals his true identity easily, but this time, he believes in Meowth - of course, even if the investigation team is malicious towards him, he is not afraid; what is the immortal body afraid of?As for restraining him, that's useless. Many expeditions have already shown one thing, his "spawn point" has a high degree of randomness.

However, he still has not revealed the "Ten Thousand Dragons Palace", which will be his deepest hidden secret.

The commander-in-chief kept listening at first, but as Nesario's story progressed, he motioned to the receptionist to start recording.

"To be honest, we have never seen you in a situation like this. It's mysterious enough to switch between two worlds freely, let alone a human body growing dragon parts? Even the ancient dragon people didn't look like this."

"Is that so..."

The receptionist lady listened to the whole process. She curiously walked behind Nessario and looked at his unique steel tail that grew from the end of his spine.

"It's really Zhanlong's tail. It's almost the same except for the size."

Although the receptionist was not a professional ecologist, she had also learned a variety of knowledge about monsters and the environment. After confirming that what Nesario said was true, she was very surprised.

"I believe scholars will be interested in you."

The Commander-in-Chief smiled and said that he is really a kind and reliable uncle!

"Hey! Blue Star is back!"

A staff member from the base came over to greet everyone. Upon hearing this, the receptionist was the most excited.

"aibo!"

"Go and have a look. Blue Star is our most capable hunter. You should have something in common."

The commander-in-chief listened to his follower Meow. Nessario managed to defeat the Brutal Claw Dragon and the Dragon-Slaying Dragon without learning any hunter skills - this was an incredible talent.

Maybe there will be a topic between the genius hunter and the master hunter?
