The ancient dragon of Arknights

"You really can't feel any discomfort in your body?"

"No, I feel fine...what's wrong with me?"

Obviously, everyone was aware of the seriousness of the situation, and Canglanxing stood up directly. Everyone was waiting for the scholar's judgment, and the anxious ones went straight to the microscope.

"Your body has been completely integrated with Nergigante cells. Every sample just obtained contains Nergigante cells, and the proportion is very high."

Well, worst case scenario.

If we want to use an analogy that Terran people can understand, Nergigante's spines are the focus of ore disease. At that stage, the disease can still be suppressed through surgical removal and drug blockade. Neltharion is now the source of the stone spreading throughout his body.There is no hope, and the only way to eradicate it is to destroy the whole body and rebuild it.

"Of course, there are still many experiments that have not been done. For example, the Dragon Slayer Fruit is hated by many dragons and has a restraining effect. Maybe the Dragon Slayer Fruit can clear these cells."

Research still requires experiments, and most ideas are only in the conceptual stage.

Nesario cooperated and completed multiple samplings and observations before leaving the institute. After all, he had done everything he could.

"Oh...it's troublesome."

"Don't give up, scholars will find a way. Nature is amazing. It can adapt to stay in your body, and there will be a way to eradicate it."

"I hope so... By the way, don't you want to go on a mission today?"

"After the Nergigante was defeated, many ancient dragons became active. The investigation team currently needs to investigate the traces of the activities of the ancient dragons, so there are not many tasks."

It turns out that Nergigante has a suppressive power on the ancient dragon. When it disappeared for a short time, the other ancient dragons began to make trouble.

"This can be regarded as a kind of adjustment ability of nature."

If it weren't for the suppression of Nergigante, God knows what those ancient dragons would do to the ecological environment.

Chapter 118 Steel Dragon

"I found traces of the steel dragon!"

"Where did it appear?"

"In the land of dragon crystals!"

"..."

The "wounded" Neltharion and the Blue Star responsible for taking care of him did not go on a mission today, but obviously, God did not follow people's wishes.

The investigation team discovered traces of an ancient dragon - its name was Steel Dragon.

This monster is not a new face. As an investigation team that came from the Old Continent, they already have a very comprehensive understanding of the Steel Dragon. There is also a description of the Steel Dragon in the hunter's manual.

Steel Dragon - As its name suggests, it has a steel carapace all over its body. More research shows that its steel exoskeleton is caused by the oxidation of the Steel Dragon's scales and air. In addition to this absolute defense, the Steel Dragon also has the ability to control storms. The wings, which are several times larger than the body, can cause violent storms with just a little force.

It is precisely because of this that the investigation team wants to repel or conquer it - if the Steel Dragon moves freely and is too active, various places will begin to be ravaged by storms, which will be a big blow to the ecology.It is also not convenient for the investigation team to deploy in the future, so there will definitely be a fight with it today.

"Lord Xingchen, we need your help in the Steel Dragon crusade."

"I see, wait a moment."

Naturally, Blue Star would not say stupid things like refusing a mission in order to take care of Neltharion. Neltharion was not abnormal at the moment, but it was fundamentally dangerous; but it was not to the point where he needed someone to take care of him.

"Canglanxing, wait a minute, I'll go too."

"Neltharion, are you sure? Can you still fight in your current state?"

"I'm sure, and... even if I return to my world until the end of time, I can't do anything. In the New World, at least we can still try to investigate the traces of the Nergigante."

"......Follow me."

Blue Star's thinking is different from that of scholars. Although it is valuable to study the traces and remnants of prey, it is too limiting.

Only by fighting each monster personally can one truly understand it - this is the normal state of a hunter's thinking. Blue Star has been on the verge of danger several times, but has always lived towards death.

What Neltharion needs at this moment may not be a retreat ticket, but to try other methods to expel or conquer the power of the Nergigante!

The investigation team moved very quickly, and traces of Gu Long were rare. If they moved slowly, they might have allowed the other party to escape.

Dozens of hunters quickly dispatched, and for a moment - the sky above the investigation team was filled with the shadows of pterosaurs.

Each pterosaur leads a hunter towards the destination, which feels like an airborne assault.

Textbook content of the Royal Guards College - The most dangerous and threatening force is the airborne troops; they use jetpacks to quickly log into enemy positions from high-speed battleships or military strongholds, and then overturn the battle.

More than a dozen hunters—this kind of airborne troop could probably sweep across a medium-sized stronghold.

The pterosaur was very fast, and it didn't take long for everyone to be transported to the camp at the Dragon Crystal Land.

The members of the investigation team have been waiting here for a long time.

"Is Steel Dragon still under surveillance?"

"Yes, but it moves too fast, and we haven't been able to catch up so far. But we seem to have found its lair!"

"Thank you for your hard work, we will leave it to us."

The hunters quickly connected the guide insect with the guide insect in the hands of the members of the survey team - and suddenly, a road flashing with green fluorescence spread out.

"set off!"

Neltharion was also in the team, and their route this time did not go downwards, but upwards.

It seems that the lower half of the Dragon Crystal Land is indeed the territory of the Nergigante. Its residual power is still there, and the Steel Dragon doesn't really want to provoke it?

"Are you actually up here?"

At this moment, Neltharion was facing a towering cliff with no end in sight. He looked upwards - his sight was blocked by clouds and fog halfway.

"These vines can support our weight and move upward."

Blue Star tried to pull hard, but the huge vines clinging to the cliff did not waver at all. She immediately ordered the team to climb upward.

As a result, several heavily armed hunters began to climb the rock. At this time, the equipment on their bodies became a little troublesome.

"If I had known that I needed to climb up, I should have brought my skating clothes."

"It's okay, it will be there soon."

It is worth mentioning that the equipment Neltharion is currently wearing is still Dragon-Slaying equipment. He does not dare to use equipment derived from Nergigante. The armor made from that guy might have something to do with Neltharion. A wonderful reaction, it was so thrilling to suddenly come back to life in the middle of the battle.

After breaking through the layer of clouds and fog formed by air currents, temperature and other factors, they finally saw their destination - the highest point of the Dragon Crystal Land, the top of a mountain peak.

Canglanxing was the first to go to reconnoiter the information - but after climbing up from the cliff, she saw the mission target.

With its long and slender body curves, its entire body reflects metallic luster, and its blue eyes are slightly narrowed at the moment, it stands proudly here, announcing its existence to the storm.

"Wow, this guy is so handsome."

Neltharion saw the steel dragon for the first time. Compared to the Nergigante, which was full of fighting and killing characteristics, the first impression the steel dragon gave him was actually one of elegance.

No matter in terms of body shape or movement and demeanor, it is neither arrogant nor impetuous, and does not look like the incarnation of a storm at all.

"Don't relax, that's because it's not angry yet, and you won't remember what it looks like when you know it's angry."

"It will be very troublesome for the steel dragon to fly, so - the first thing we have to do is to control it on the ground."

Blue Star quickly arranged their respective tasks. Some people were responsible for attacking, some were responsible for giving abnormal status, and some were responsible for using traps.

After everything was arranged, and with the command "Hunting begins!", the hunters jumped out from behind the hiding stones.

Swish!

The flash bomb exploded quickly in front of the steel dragon's blue eyes. The steel dragon needed to fight at high speed in the air and even be able to see the direction of the storm clearly; so its eyesight was extremely good, and this time it was so bright that stars appeared in its eyes.

clang!Boom!

The big sword and the sledge hammer quickly bombarded the steel dragon, but obviously - it had no effect. The big sword left a groove belonging to it on the steel dragon's body, while the sledge hammer left a depression.

"Don't stop! Keep attacking!"

Blue Star still used Kirin-derived weapons, and the twin swords wrapped with lightning quickly slashed at the wings of the steel dragon.Its steel exoskeleton is the best conductor at this moment. Almost all the lightning energy erupted by the Blue Star is absorbed into it. I believe that the Steel Dragon will definitely not feel comfortable at this moment.

Neltharion also quickly attacked, his tail turned into a deadly sharp knife, and he stabbed down towards the steel dragon - poof!

effective!Although it is impossible to achieve 100% armor penetration, the traces caused by Neltharion are obviously more obvious.

'It seems that Terra's top D32 steel is slightly better. '

The steel dragon had already recovered from the effect of the flash bomb. It swung its body quickly, and the hunters who had anticipated it dodged the counterattack.

After the Steel Dragon drove them away, he quickly activated his abilities. The breeze that was originally blowing slightly became violent - as the Steel Dragon roared, a strong air pressure wrapped around its body.

Chapter 119 The Coffin of the Storm

The violent hurricane roared past, and the gravel and fragments on the ground flew towards the sky under the impact of the strong wind; these gravels knocked on the hunters' armor, making people's mood also follow. Get nervous.

"Be careful! Don't get close to the wind field! Find a way to shoot it down..."

The commander of Blue Star did not appear panicked by the storm. These hunters were all veterans, but they had only had one or two experiences hunting ancient dragons. Not everyone dared to fight against the ancient dragon alone.

Therefore, under the pressure of such a natural disaster, they all began to become nervous, the sounds of swallowing saliva came and went, and the fingers holding the weapons turned white with strength.

How is Neltharion doing?In fact, he was not panicking at the moment - although the steel dragon's momentum was as loud as Terra's natural disaster, it was too gentle compared to the pressure of the Nergigante.

Being able to escape from the Nergigante's mouth, even risking his life, Neltharion's fear threshold has been raised a lot. I believe there are not many dragons in the New World that can scare him.

"Light crossbow, bow and arrow - try to shoot it down! Aim carefully, otherwise it will be blown away by the wind field."

The steel dragon's whole body was wrapped in a powerful wind field at this moment, and its blue eyes full of anger were already looking at the hunters scattered on the ground - the storm was about to rage!

Rumble!

Several grenades and arrows hit the wings of the steel dragon at the same time. Most of the power of the explosion was blown away by the wind pressure, but it still caused an impact. The steel dragon's originally calm flying posture was bumpy.

'effective! '

This is good news. If the opponent remains in the sky, all melee hunters will be at a disadvantage. Since they hope to shoot it down, Blue Star's sensitive hunting mind quickly begins to plan.

"avoid!"

Swish!Swish!Swish!

The steel dragon's counterattack came soon. It raised its head, and its long neck was obviously gathering strength. With the spitting of the dragon's jaws, three hurricane strikes came quickly; Blue Star was multitasking, thinking about the hunting plan, While paying attention to Steel Dragon's movements.

The moment before it struck, Blue Star's warning rushed into everyone's ears.

Small weapons move quickly to avoid damage. The hunters' strong physical fitness is still extremely fast even in the storm field, and their movements are not blocked at all.Neltharion is one of them, and he is even the fastest among them.

The countermeasures of the heavy weapons are even tougher. These hunters know very well that their speed will not be very fast due to their weight, which is a burden; but it is a gift - because the big treasure in their hands is the strongest city wall!

The iron wall-like shield and sword blocked the exploding hurricane - in an instant, the invisible wind blade tore apart the fur and cloak parts of the hunters' equipment; the main body was not injured, and the cheeks under the helmet Not even scratched.

"Fire!"

After the defense was over, the hunters did not intend to give the Steel Dragon a chance to exert its power again. Bows, arrows, ballistae, and muskets fired all kinds of ammunition at the Steel Dragon in the sky. Its hard exoskeleton would not be broken easily. , but all living things know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and no one will accept the enemy's attack stupidly.

The wings whipped up strong winds, and the slender tail swirled gracefully in the air - the hit rate of this salvo was extremely low, and some of the attacks were deflected by the strong wind in the air; but most of them were dodged by the steel dragon.

"Let's attract its attention! See your opportunity."

Blue Star knew that this was not going to last, the surrounding wind field was gradually expanding, and they had to quickly contain the steel dragon; then they, who were responsible for close combat, could not remain silent, even if they were hit by strong winds, even if they were involved in hurricanes , they are also going to hold back the Steel Dragon!

The flying claws fired in a volley, and the sharp iron claws were like a huge catching net, launched towards the sky, trying to pull the master of the storm back to the earth.

"Roar!"

How can I let you get what you want!

The wings of the sky were fluttering again. This time the hurricane was not as concentrated as the surprise attack - but its coverage was very vast. The hunters who were originally scattered were actually overturned together. The power of the storm was so impressive. fear.

Click!Click!

The Steel Dragon is the most popular among the ancient dragons, but humans have never lacked geniuses!

Two steel claws flew out from the gap in the storm, and they landed on the wings of the steel dragon, one on the left and one on the right. The moment the claws grasped firmly - two figures broke out of the dust!

The rope of the hook quickly straightened, and the two figures broke through the storm and hurricane, and instantly clung to the body of the steel dragon.

"Got you!" x2

The two unicorn swords, one purple and one red, instantly burst out with thunderous power, and the hot steel blades were not to be outdone, rising into blazing flames.

"The ghost man is whirling and dancing in the air!"

"Cut steel and crack iron!"

Thunder burst out from the left wing, and the shining thunder tore the storm apart. The electric current that ran wantonly was conducted along the steel exoskeleton and was absorbed by the steel dragon; flames rose from the right wing, the raging flames ignited the dark clouds, and the extremely hot blade cut the weak The wing membrane is punctured and torn.
