Warhammer 40 A New Hope

Several airships were flying over the sea, heading towards a volcanic island not far away.

[Attention everyone, we are about to reach the target island, increase altitude]

A voice came from the old communication equipment made by Zhang Yi, and the airships increased their altitude one after another.

Soon after, a group of people covered in lava appeared under the airship, and several tall figures jumped down first.

thump--!

Fully armed, the huge monitors and space marines landed steadily on the black ground and looked around vigilantly.

"Proceeds as planned."

Several [sonic boom bombs] that were much larger than normal ones were taken out by the monitors and space marines and thrown in all directions, and the sound of explosions rang out on the island.

And then, the earth began to shake violently.

Boom boom boom--!

Anyone who disturbs others' dreams will be killed. This sentence is very suitable for the big rock dragon. It was sleeping soundly and suddenly heard something explode in its ear, which woke it up suddenly.

And when it is awakened in this way, it will be very irritable!

The huge body appeared on the volcanic island again. The dozens of people who landed first were surrounded by the huge body. Then the huge dragon head with curved horns looked down at the small people on the ground.

roar--

boom! boom! boom! boom!

The roar of the Big Rock Dragon was interrupted by the bombardment from the sky. Among the small number of special shells in these bombardments, there was concentrated anesthetic liquid. The high temperature during the bombardment directly vaporized it and was inhaled by the Big Rock Dragon.

The sudden attack and the anesthetic gas made the Big Rock Dragon, which was about to get angry, a little confused again. At this moment, everyone on the ground began to attack it.

Click--crack!

The huge heavy crossbow was deployed and loaded with armor-piercing grenades. All the Space Marines shot at the same part of the Great Rock Dragon's body and the same position like precision machines.

The shell with the burning fuse was nailed into its shell, and the subsequent explosion caused its color to change slightly.

The unique living environment of the Great Rock Dragon gives it an almost indestructible shell, which makes these armor-penetrating grenades, which have a good effect on the shells of most creatures, ineffective.

But one thing is certain - the temperature of this part of the shell has changed.

After the third round of shooting, giant lizards armed with hammers or giant swords came forward, and a thin layer of frost appeared on their weapons.

boom!boom!boom!boom!

The shell of the rock dragon was extremely hard, and many lizardmen who did not control their strength well were blown away by their own power, but they succeeded in rapidly cooling down the originally scorching temperature of the shell.

The airship continued to attack the big rock dragon, attracting its attention and reducing its aggressiveness.

Cannons, mounted crossbows, dragon-breath cannons, these weapons have had good effects on some ancient dragons, but now few of them can penetrate the armor of the giant beast in front of them, and can only attract its attention.

But this was enough. The big rock dragon, attracted by the airships, didn't notice at all that in the blind spot of his vision, several teams of hunters arrived on the island in small boats, and huge mechanical devices were also lowered.

"Quick, quick, quick! Set up the big explosive barrel!"

"Don't rush to bring the Dragon-Strike Spear! That thing will attract too much attention!"

"Watch your feet!"

Several huge explosive barrels were placed next to the huge body of the big rock dragon, and then a small explosive barrel with a lit fuse was thrown over.

boom--!

A huge explosion accompanied by black smoke resounded throughout the island, and this also attracted the attention of the Big Rock Dragon.

And when he was about to see what happened, a shadow suddenly attacked him, and then it felt pain.

Archangel Sanguinius flapped his wings and faced the huge creature in front of him. The sword in his hand scratched the right eyelid of the rock dragon!

The pain that had not been felt for a long time awakened the spirit of the Big Rock Dragon, and anger swept over it, but at this moment a small insect with electric light suddenly appeared in front of his left eye and hit it hard.

Sizzle－－!

It was like a grain of sand entering the eyes - not fatal, but very uncomfortable. The Rock Dragon shook its huge head, trying to drive away the uncomfortable feeling.

"I need bigger bugs!" Jaghatai Khan shouted to Sanguinius, recalling his hunting bugs.

"Then you'll have to find it yourself, my brother!"

Holding a worm spear... The craftsmen doubted whether the weapon in Chagatai's hand could still be called a worm spear because it was too big.

Even the hunting insect was taken off a Thunder Wolf Dragon. The hunters said that they had never seen such a big [Super Thunder Bug] - even so, Chagatai still thought it was too small.

The attacks of the two primarchs succeeded in attracting the hatred of the Great Rock Dragon once again, and the two teams trying to break the Great Rock Dragon's shell have achieved results.

Under the constant alternation of hot and cold, the hard shell cracked, and after peeling off the cracked shell, what was underneath was... another layer of shell.

It is understandable that this creature has multiple layers of shells in order to cope with the hot lava. This is also within the expectations of Zhang Yi and others.

Also, it's highly likely that the inner shell isn't as strong as the outer shell - they have different functions.

Just as they expected, the inner shell showed strong heat resistance, which made the previous method of breaking the shell by alternating hot and cold difficult to work.

But Zhang Yi and his team were not without a solution. Bottles of corrosive chemicals were thrown into the hole in the shell, and wisps of white smoke floated out of it.

Boom boom boom--!

Just when everything was moving in the right direction, a violent tremor occurred again. The giant rock dragon's huge body began to twist, and the ground began to crack apart piece by piece.

Boom--!

Just twisting the body underneath triggered violent geological changes in an area on the island - the ground shattered, rock pillars rose from the ground, and lava erupted.

This had a huge impact on the actions of the hunter team. No one knew where the broken parts had flowed to, and the vibrating ground made it impossible for everyone on the island to stand normally. Some unlucky guys even fell directly into the cracked ground and fell into the bottomless abyss.

At the same time, a huge tail was raised high towards the giant lizards and space marines surrounded by it.

It may not be able to do anything to the airship in the sky or the agile Sanguinius, but it can easily crush these little guys on the ground!

call out--!

The huge tail smashed down like a mountain with unparalleled momentum, and the lizardmen on the ground were unavoidable!

DUANG!

A huge noise spread throughout the island, and the falling tail was blocked by something transparent in the air.

"I kind of regretted sneaking down here..."

239. Battle against the Great Rock Dragon (Part )

This is an unprecedented hunt in Monster Hunter World, with hundreds of hunters trying to hunt a creature as big as an island - the Rock Dragon.

Everyone who was invited and accepted was very excited and hoped to make a difference in this hunt - including Zhang Yi.

However, as an extremely important existence to the entire human empire, the accompanying imperial guards will not allow him to directly participate in this hunt, at least they will not allow him to be a ground attack force.

However, facing various huge creatures on the ground is undoubtedly the most exciting thing.

So Zhang Yi sneaked out. Although Zhang Yi had no idea why he could escape from under the noses of the imperial guards, he finally ran out and came to the surface of the island.

When the huge tail fell down, even though the target was not him, Zhang Yi was scared to death. He hurriedly extracted the energy of the nearby earth veins and built up a defense.

The extremely heavy and fatal blow was blocked by Zhang Yi, and others also saw him in the corner of the island.

"I knew he would escape," Chagatai said. "It would be a pity if I could not personally participate in the hunt."

"It's too much, he..."

"Don't worry, my brother," Chagatai said, interrupting Sanguinius. "He can take care of himself, just as we can take care of ourselves."

"...yes..."

The attack was blocked, making the Big Rock Dragon a little confused for a moment. In its memory, there was no existence that could catch his attack - so what was the situation now.

But his pause did not last too long, because Nakai, holding high a dragon-hitting spear that was much larger than his, jumped down from an airship. The huge dragon-hitting spear directly pierced through the thick shell of the rock dragon and stabbed into it.

roar--!

Although its thick shell prevented the dragon-strike spear from penetrating too deeply into its body, and at most it only pierced its skin, the pain was still something it had never experienced before - like a very thin wooden stick piercing its finger, the damage was not great, but it was maddening.

The huge roar echoed throughout the sea, and in response, Nakai tried to push the dragon-slaying spear that had already been inserted into the body of the big rock dragon deeper.

Whoosh—bang!

The huge dragon head directly hit Nakai who was on his body. With rich combat experience, he dodged the attack by instinct. The dragon-killing spear that was inserted into the body of the big rock dragon was broken, and a large part of the rear end flew directly into the sea in the distance.

But this also further enlarged the broken area of ​​its shell.

The big rock dragon was furious as it was attacked like this for the first time. It twisted its body violently again and its huge body drilled into the ground at an incredible speed.

The next moment, the volcano erupted!

A large amount of lava was ejected into the sky, and then fell to the ground due to the force of gravity, causing the earth to shake violently again.

Boom boom boom--!

All the people on the ground began to move away from the center of the island and hide towards the sea. The airships in the sky also increased their altitude to a safe distance again - in reality, there is no such thing as a one-shot return to the camp, or any indestructible safety zone.

In response to this situation, barrel after barrel filled with [Sonic Boom Bombs] were thrown from the air into the hole where the big rock dragon had drilled into.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Hearing is important for creatures living underground so they can determine the status and location of their targets on the surface - which makes them very sensitive to noise.

The noise produced by dozens of sonic boom bombs, coupled with the repeated reflections from the narrow underground tunnel, is so loud that it is terrifying - even more so for the giant rock dragon underground.

boom--!

Just as the angry rock dragon emerged from the ground and was about to let out a deafening roar, Sanguinius swooped down from the sky and scratched the corner of its mouth with the acceleration of gravity.

On the other side, Chagatai Khan also jumped from an airship and smashed it on the top of the head at high speed.

'Cracked mouth' + 'headache', this was the first time that the Great Rock Dragon felt this disgusting injury in such a long time.

It was very angry, really very angry, but... why couldn't it be angry?

"This shell is too thick, and my weapon has become blunt."

"Your great sword can be used as a hammer when it's blunt, but look at my katana, it just breaks, okay?"

"You're using a sword to break a shell? Aren't you just asking for trouble?"

"How could I know it was so hard? There's another layer underneath it. It's outrageous!"

"But fortunately, we succeeded..."

Tons of paralyzing sedatives were injected into the body of the Great Rock Dragon through the wound opened by the outer hunters, allowing it to "calm down".

The body, which had been flexible due to adrenaline, began to become sluggish again, and at the same time, the injected potions were also dissipating the anger of the rock dragon.

In response, the Big Rock Dragon suddenly stopped, and then fog from nowhere began to spread across the entire island.

call out--!

Then, a sudden strong wind blew away the fog before it became so thick that you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

Dayanlong was stunned again - where did the strong wind come from?

The huge dragon head looked towards the ground. Zhang Yi was touching the ground with one hand, mobilizing the energy of the earth veins here, blowing up the strong wind just now and dispersing the fog.

It was because it sensed some strange aura from that tiny creature that it ended its hibernation and rushed out of the ground. However, it was this creature, which was like an ant to it, that teased it again and again!

The big rock dragon looked at Zhang Yi on the ground, opened its mouth wide and was about to attack him, but at this moment, a tiny thing that was insignificant to the big rock dragon rushed directly into his mouth, and the next moment an explosion of flames appeared in its mouth.

Congratulations to Dayanlong for winning the oral ulcer

"Extracting the earth veins, transforming, adapting, controlling... I can't find my nose!" said Zhang Yi, who controlled himself and made great achievements on many occasions. "It shouldn't be. A nostril this big should be quite big. Why can't I find it?"

The square bricks hammered by the dwarves were rampaging in the mouth of the big rock dragon, which was like a football field, and exploded from time to time, making the big rock dragon extremely uncomfortable and shaking its head frantically.

Finally, with another earth-shattering sneeze, bricks filled with unknown liquid sprayed out of the big rock dragon's nose and fell into the sea.

"...I can't come back for a while..." Zhang Yi felt the position of his weapon awkwardly, then raised his head and looked at the furious Big Rock Dragon. "...Chagatai, you didn't get thrown off?"

"I can hear you." Holding the insect-control stick inserted into the shell of the giant rock dragon's head tightly, Chagatai responded to Zhang Yi on the ground. "Do you really want me to fall?!"

"I can't hear you~" (Zhang Yi)

"I can hear you~" Chagatai responded to Zhang Yi like a child.

Then, Chagatai suddenly pulled out the insect-catching stick that was stuck in the top of the big rock dragon's head, jumped down from its head, and when passing by its eyes, he stabbed the insect-catching stick in his hand fiercely.

Chagatai's first feeling was like being inserted into a large piece of hard but elastic rubber.
