Chapter 1432 Snowflake Sleeps
(Many readers wondered why there were so many deleted comments in the comment section yesterday. In fact, it was due to the maintenance of the comment section, so there were many empty comments.)
The three hunting groups of Silver Edge, Pen Tips and Alcohol were dispatched at the same time after a long absence.
In fact, the core of this operation is only the Silver Edge Hunting Group, to be precise, only Gordon and Feng Ying.
The others had only one task, which was to provide cover for the two and ensure the smooth operation.
The hunters rode on pterosaurs and made a low-altitude attack, bypassing the area where the ancient dragons frequently fought, and arrived at the ice and snow area in the northwest corner of the Demon Gathering Land.
Compared to the forest and coral areas that have long since turned into a mess and no longer look prosperous as before.
At first glance, the ice and snow area doesn't seem to have changed much.
But if you look closely, you can find that most of the originally thick snow has melted, leaving only a thin layer.
The glaciers are still standing there, but under the constant attacks of wind and rain, they are no longer as sharp and crystal clear as before.
The hunters landed on a snowy field.
Underfoot was wet snow that had turned into ice, and dark gray rocks were exposed.
Gordon looked around and made a gesture.
Julius and Ted nodded and dispersed with their respective teams, hiding nearby.
The four people from Silver Edge continued to move forward.
Not far ahead is the lair of the Ice Curse Dragon.
That’s right, they came to cause trouble for the Ice Curse Dragon, but causing trouble was not the “purpose” but the “means”.
The four of them came to a huge cave.
In this icy area where the snow is melting and the glaciers are retreating, only this cave still retains the icy air.
At the entrance of the cave, Gordon paused for a moment. "After so many days of fighting, that guy probably won't be in a good mood. Get ready for battle."
Ansel loaded the crossbow, and the others also pulled the weapon handles to the most convenient position for use.
After taking a deep breath of the cold air that was enough to numb his throat, Gordon, who was leading the way, lightened his steps and was the first to step into the cave.
The guide insects in the guide insect cage flew out and gathered into a fluorescent blue light path, extending into the depths of the cave.
In fact, even without the guidance of the guide insect, it is not difficult for hunters to find the location of the Ice Curse Dragon.
——Just go in the coldest direction.
Passing through a frost-covered tunnel, the figure that seemed to be carved out of ice and glass appeared in the hunters' sight.
It was curled up quietly in an icy open space.
Sleeping like a snowflake.
Compared to the majestic and gorgeous appearance before the melee broke out, the Ice Curse Dragon now looks a little disheveled.
The scales formed by the rapid freezing of lava were damaged in many places, with marks of claws and teeth, as well as traces of flames and electric current burning.
There was a bloody mess on his side, and judging from the marks left by a knife, it looked like he was hit directly by the steel dragon's wind bullet breath.
Even the extremely sharp ice blade tail was broken in half.
"It's a bit miserable." Feng Ying rubbed her hands like a fly, "Master Gordon, hurry up and do something cruel to it!"
She is very self-aware. When Gordon is around, it is usually not her turn to be the one to be killed.
Gordon also felt a little itchy.
There is a great head in front of me, and I happen to have a big sword. How can there be such a coincidence in the world?
However, even though he was itching to do so, Gordon still did not pull out the [Immovable] greatsword behind him.
The purpose of their trip was not to hunt the Ice Curse Dragon in front of them.
Every ancient dragon is an important fighting force that can cause trouble to the "Dragon King".
If it weren't for the fact that the ancient dragon was so difficult to communicate with in its enraged state, he would have even wanted to pour a few more bottles of recovery medicine on the Ice Curse Dragon's wounds, help them heal their wounds, and then let them go to the Quiet Valley to give the Red Dragon a surprise.
"Remember our purpose, self-preservation is our priority, let's get started."
After reminding his companions, or to be more precise, reminding Feng Ying.
Gordon came to the sleeping Ice Curse Dragon's head and pulled down his visor.
With a strong enemy right in front of him, [Crazy Mark] could no longer hold back, and the desire to attack madly repeatedly assaulted Gordon's spirit.
Gordon grinned, then lifted the restraint completely.
The next second, the violent aura of the World-Destroying Nergigante exploded like a ignited bomb.
The Ice Curse Dragon suddenly opened his eyes in his sleep. Even though his thoughts were still a little unclear, his body moved reflexively.
It jumped up using all four of its limbs, flapped its wings, and flew backwards dozens of meters.
"Very alert."
Gordon gripped the hilt of the sword, but had no intention of rushing forward immediately.
So does everyone else.
The real purpose of this action is to lure the Nergigante to appear.
After all, it is not like the other ancient dragons that have their own territory and relatively fixed nest, so it is not easy to find it.
Instead of flying around like a headless fly, it is better to use the aura of [Crazy Mark] to lure it here.
As for why we chose the Ice Curse Dragon as the "initiator", the reason is very simple.
The ice and snow zone is located in the northwest corner of the Demon Gathering Land, closest to the direction of the Quiet Valley.
When the Nergigante comes looking for us, we can directly lead it out to the sea without having to cross the territories of other ancient dragons in the Demon Gathering Land and cause unnecessary trouble.
Of course, Ice Curse Dragon would not understand these complicated considerations.
All it knew was that a few small creatures, which looked inconspicuous but had quite amazing aura, sneaked into its nest while it was sleeping.
Obviously he has some ulterior motive!
“Ah!”
Amidst the piercing screams, layers of ice spikes covered its body, forming a gorgeous ice armor.
The hazy white mist spread out, and the temperature in the cave suddenly dropped a lot.
Even after drinking hot drinks in advance, the hunters still felt their hands and feet becoming numb.
"This guy is indeed much more powerful than the previous Ice Curse Dragon." After making a casual comment, Gordon turned around and waved his hand, "Retreat!"
Since the purpose is just to delay time and wait for the Nergigante to appear, we naturally cannot fight with the Frost Dragon in such a small and closed cave.
As the frozen air spreads, the temperature in the cave drops further and the impact of the cold will become more and more serious.
Those huge ice spikes rising from the ground are also constantly encroaching on the already narrow space in the cave.
Perhaps it won't be long before they are completely trapped in this cave.
Once you go outside the cave, there is no need to worry about these things. The only disadvantage is that in an open-air environment, if the Ice Curse Dragon wants to leave, they cannot stop it, and the risk of other monsters breaking in will also increase.
Fortunately, this had no impact on their plans.
The Ice Curse Dragon angrily chased after the hateful hunters who woke it up and turned around and ran away.
Flying in the cave is not very convenient, but the Ice Curse Dragon's four-legged running posture is also flexible and swift. Coupled with the influence of ice and snow on the ground, the hunters are about to be caught up.
Hayata and Ansir suddenly stopped and turned to face the pursuing Frost Dragon.
Anshil deployed the King Fang Cannon [Thunder] and pulled the trigger continuously.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The shotgun shells were fired continuously, and countless tiny fragments were like an invisible wall, blocking the Ice Curse Dragon's pursuit.
The Ice Curse Dragon, whose relatively vulnerable head and chest area was hit by several consecutive shots, roared and shielded its dragon wings covered with ice armor in front of its body to block the attack of shotgun bullets.
Ice chips flew everywhere.
Ansel didn't care and emptied the magazine of shotgun shells in one breath.
While he was changing magazines and the fire stopped, Hayata circled around and approached the side of the Ice Curse Dragon and launched a fierce attack.
"Wow—!"
The roar of the Ice Curse Dragon was heard behind them. Gordon and Feng Ying didn't even look back and ran at full speed out of the cave.
Just as they were about to move forward to the open area where the snow had almost melted, a huge black shadow covered with thorns roared and fell in front of them.
"Hoooooooooo-!!"
Gordon grinned, grasped the hilt, and drew out the [Immovable] greatsword.
"Wow, you came so quickly this time."
