Chapter 1444: Red Dragon’s Method
Gordon's words served as a reminder to everyone.
Just as he said, the Red Dragon's condition seemed to have fully recovered, but in fact it had only recovered about 80% to 90%.
Things like the dragon horn that was broken off by the Annihilator, the dragon pupil that was blinded by the fire storm, and the penetrating wound on the chest left by the Frost Dragon's dying counterattack, have indeed been restored to their original state.
But there are still many inconspicuous skin injuries on its body.
For example, the broken bone spines on its back have not fully regenerated.
The wound on the tail that was cut by the swordsmen together still existed, but it was obviously lighter.
Others ignored these injuries for a while.
It was like a seriously injured person, staggering, with a bleeding head and even one eye blind, looking miserable.
But in a flash, the seriously injured parts disappeared.
With such a radiant look, the few inconspicuous scratches on the skin were of course easy to be overlooked.
At this time, it is no exaggeration to say that the Red Dragon has recovered to its peak state.
Those inconspicuous wounds have almost no impact on the Red Dragon's movements.
So are these wounds completely meaningless?
From a purely combat perspective, this is true.
But these wounds proved that the earth energy stored in this area was not abundant.
Otherwise, the Red Dragon would not need to control the amount. For it, recovering from all injuries in one breath is as easy as breathing.
The hunters realized clearly when they witnessed the red dragon recovering from its injuries, especially when even its blind eye regenerated instantly and returned to its original state.
Whether you are full of energy or weak and dying.
These are only temporary for the Red Dragon, and the earth vein energy is the only key.
The essence of fighting a red dragon is to consume the energy of the earth veins.
Only when that energy is exhausted can the battle enter the "final stage".
The professor had predicted this situation a long time ago, but seeing it with his own eyes was a completely different feeling.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the ancient dragons have already consumed a huge amount of energy for them.
Otherwise, relying on just these few teams of hunters, it would be difficult to exhaust the energy of the earth veins in the Netherworld Valley even if they tried their best.
The current situation is not good, but it is not the worst either.
After a brief panic, the hunters regained their composure.
It's just a protracted war, and they are mentally prepared for it.
The red dragon swung its body violently, throwing Gordon, who was clinging to its back, off.
Gordon adjusted his posture and landed on the ground. Although his movements were a bit awkward, he was not injured.
He stood up quickly and was about to say something when he saw the red dragon waving a dragon claw and grabbing towards him.
Gordon quickly rolled sideways to avoid the attack, but the dragon claw missed and hit the open space several meters away from him.
Based on the experience of previous fights, this attack ends here.
But in this land where the energy of the earth veins resounded, the red dragon's attack changed.
The moment the dragon claw touched the ground, a silvery-white light shone from the point of contact, flowing and spreading between the cracks in the rocks.
Realizing that something was wrong, Gordon immediately raised the sword in front of him and took a defensive stance.
The silver-white energy that emerged on the ground exploded after a brief delay of one or two seconds.
The power of this explosion was not too strong, roughly equivalent to the power of a conventional barrel bomb.
Gordon, who raised his greatsword in time to defend himself, was pushed back several meters by the shock wave. However, under the protection of the sword and armor, the aftermath of the energy shock did not injure him.
But the red dragon's attack has not yet ended.
Seizing the opportunity when Gordon was hit, it opened its mouth and released a short burst of energy flame, shooting towards him.
Rolling to dodge is not a good option at this time because the distance between the two is too close.
The red dragon only needs to slightly tilt its head, and the energy flames will cover him as he rolls.
Gordon had no other choice but to continue holding the sword, ready to fight back.
At this moment, Feng Ying leaped over with the help of the Kinsect, came in front of him, put up a large shield, and blocked the energy flame for him.
Feng Ying's rescue was timely and beautiful, but Gordon was not happy about it.
His expression hidden under the visor was extremely ugly.
Are the physical attacks that can draw on the energy of the earth veins and the short energy flame jets powerful?
The power of the energy burst is not as strong as that of a barrel bomb, and Feng Ying can successfully block the energy flame jet with her shield.
Compared with the extremely condensed breath of light that can detonate rocks, it is simply not worth mentioning.
However, compared to the breath with incredible power, this kind of attack with ordinary destructive power but extremely fast connection is more of a headache for hunters.
After only a short fight with the hunters, the Red Dragon realized that powerful attacks like the Fiery Breath were absolutely powerful weapons against other ancient dragons.
But on the agile hunters, it seems a bit slow and its power is obviously excessive.
If a breath fails, a large amount of earth vein energy will be wasted.
In contrast, during a physical attack, the earth energy is slightly stimulated, causing a small-scale explosion.
There are also those short bursts of energy flames that can also pose a threat to hunters, and the energy consumed is less than one-tenth of the breath.
of course.
For well-equipped upper-level hunters, even if they are hit, they will not lose their combat capability instantly.
But how many times?
Moreover, what really made Gordon uneasy was not the attack itself, but the Red Dragon's brain.
Whether it's an attack method of using physical contact, detonating earth energy in a small area, or an energy flame that's like a sneeze to a red dragon, these are obviously not its usual moves.
Because it's not used.
Before them, no hunter had ever come into contact with a red dragon. As for other small creatures, it was impossible for them to come and harass the "Dragon King" that even the ancient dragons feared.
In other words, this so-called move was something Chilong thought up on the spur of the moment in order to deal with them.
It has realized that the hunters are going to fight a protracted war with it.
Use low-cost physical attacks, combined with small-scale energy explosions, to force the hunters to reveal their flaws, and then use attacks such as energy fire to pursue them.
This should be Chilong’s plan.
A protracted war may not necessarily be bad news for it.
If this continues, the Red Dragon will be the first to run out of energy and collapse.
It’s hard to say whether these hunters will be wiped out first under the red dragon’s high-frequency attacks.
Take a deep breath and let go of those negative thoughts.
"Spread out the attack, try to destroy the parts, pay attention to covering each other, and be careful of the energy bursts on the ground and those short attacks!"
After yelling the order, Gordon rushed straight towards the red dragon's head.
The head is in a relatively high position, so it is not a good place to hit the target, but this position can attract the red dragon's attention to itself to the greatest extent, reducing the possibility of sudden attacks on others.
Hayata saw through Gordon's thoughts.
She stopped Feng Ying who was about to attack and whispered, "You are the fastest supporter among the shield hunters. Go to the front paw and pay attention to the support."
Feng Ying nodded vigorously.
Hayata finally felt relieved. She looked up at the red dragon's back, where there were some wounds that had not yet healed. It might be a good place to attack.
Xianglan, who was following behind her, also raised her head, but she was looking at a higher place.
Tilting its head and thinking for a while, Xianglan ran away from Hayata and found the pork chop that was holding a bomb high and was about to throw it at the red dragon.
"Come with me meow, I have a good idea meow!"
