Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 90 The Second Group Under Attack
At the edge of the ancient tree forest, there is an outlet to the sea.

Three giant keel ships were moored at the shore, and on the distant coast, more than a dozen hunters cooperated with each other and tried their best to provide other personnel with time to evacuate.

Among the hunters was an unknown ancient dragon of gigantic size with four legs and wings.

This ancient dragon has thick limbs that grow horizontally on both sides of its torso, a pair of broad wings behind it, a pair of huge curved horns on its head, and deadly thorns all over its body, like a demon from hell.

Even though the hunters present were all selected elites, they were equipped with a new generation of protective gear that had been specially processed and improved by the second-phase leader and no longer distinguished between melee and ranged.

But in front of this ancient dragon, it is still as fragile as paper.

The wind pressure generated by the flapping of wings causes the melee hunter's attack to pause briefly.

With just one slap, a hunter was sent flying, his life or death unknown!

One hunter took advantage of a gap in the opponent's attack, accumulated strength and struck hard, with the tip of his sword breaking the thorns on the ancient dragon's arm. However, due to the number and hardness of the thorns, the blade slipped sideways and failed to cut into the flesh.

But this attack at least cleared out an area that was not protected by thorns. As long as I find the right opportunity, I will be able to cause damage to Him, right?

"how come!!"

The greatsword user dodged the ancient dragon's attack and was about to move forward when he discovered that the thorns he had just broken were actually growing out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this time, the long-range light crossbow users discovered that the thorns on the body of this unknown ancient dragon had turned from white to black.

The bullets they fired hit the black thorns, and most of them bounced off. The few that did not bounce off only barely embedded themselves in them.

The dual-sword user riding on the fang hound took advantage of the hound's jump to soar into the air, and spun down from the air with a ghost-like fighting spirit, and the sharp double blades swung at the unknown ancient dragon at a very high frequency.

As a result, as soon as he landed, he was fanned by the ancient dragon's wings and flew straight out, but the black thorns on the ancient dragon's body were still intact.

Seeing that their companions' attacks were ineffective, the three sword masters looked at each other, gathered together, found the attack interval of the unknown ancient dragon, aimed at his head and used the Air Blade Cutting Technique at the same time.

The three sword masters' long swords glowed dangerously red, and after a lightning-fast thrust, they jumped high!

The air blades gathered on the long sword, and with the force of a mountain pressing down on one's head, it adjusted its direction in the brief period of hovering in the air.

"Drink!"*3
With a cold shout, the long sword swung down as the body fell.

At this time, perhaps he was getting impatient with being harassed.

The unknown ancient dragon lowered its head and hit the ground with the huge horns on its head. With the help of the resistance of the ground, it suddenly raised its head and shot out the obsidian-like thorns on its head.

These thorns were like sharp arrows, flying out densely, not only piercing the light crossbows that had no time to dodge in the distance, but also turning them into hedgehogs.

It also happened to cover three sword users who had not yet landed and were in mid-air, unable to dodge.

Before they could even make a sound, the bodies of the three sword masters were carried away by the rain of thorns and fell far away.

In this short period of time, more than half of the hunters accompanying the second group were lost.

Even this is not the true combat power of this unknown ancient dragon.

To Him, these hunters were nothing more than ants that disturbed Him from hunting the Flame Dragon. As the Flame Dragon escaped, they became the targets of His venting of anger.

Anyway, it's not an opponent that requires much effort to defeat.

After a brief attack, the hunters realized that this was not an existence they could contend with, so they began to change their strategy from offense to defense, keeping their distance to delay time, silently hoping that the support of the first group would arrive soon.

As for escaping, that is not an option for the hunters.

From the moment I became a hunter, the belief of maintaining the natural ecology and protecting the human home has been deeply rooted.

Growing up in hunting and dying in hunting, this is the final destination of most hunters.

What's more, they are facing an unknown ancient dragon at this moment!
Being able to fight against the ancient dragon, even if it meant death, didn't seem so difficult to accept at this moment! Finally, when they lost two companions again, the Grand Commander descended from the sky.

The sound of the landing attracted the attention of the Nergigante.

The commander's heart tightened when he saw the corpses lying around at a glance.

"Take the wounded away! You retreat first, I'll cover you here!"

As the Grand Commander's voice fell, the other hunters found the right opportunity to evacuate.

Perhaps because it instinctively sensed that the newcomers posed a certain threat to itself, the Nergigante did not care about the departure of the ants, but looked at the commander with interest.

Similarly, the captain, looking at the unknown ancient dragon in front of him, trembled slightly.

There is excitement, and perhaps a hint of fear.

This ancient dragon, like a demon from hell, just stood there, and endless pressure continued to come like a tide.

Just from the appearance, it seems that He was born for destruction.

This kind of momentum is far beyond that of the Flame Queen Dragon that he had faced in the Old Continent.

"He's a tough guy, old friend, you better be careful!"

Standing with a shield in hand, the Grand Commander said intently.

Beside him, Sita remained silent, only tightening her grip on the hilt of the sword.

The battle with the ancient dragon~
No matter who it is, there is no guarantee that they can survive.

What's more, at this time, they had no support and only took a bottle of ghost medicine before the battle.

No need to say more, the battle begins!
When the hunters of the first group escorted the members of the second group back to the base, and then arrived late.

All I saw was a black dot flying towards the depths of the New World.

When we arrived at the place where the Grand Commander had fought, we found that the terrain had suffered great damage. Trees had fallen down, and there were rocks and unknown thorns on the ground, some black and some white. They were embedded in the stones and it took a lot of effort to pull them out.

When they first landed, they didn't see the leader, and the hunters from the first group became a little panicked and scattered to look for him.

Finally, the seriously injured commander was found behind a huge rock. His weapons were thrown somewhere unknown, and the only shield he had was tattered, with even a few thick thorns sticking out of it.

The protective gear on his body was damaged in many places, and the shoulder guard on his shoulder had been completely shattered, with a through wound that was still bleeding rapidly.

Next to him was Sita, whose armor was also in tatters. His breathing was already very weak, his right eye was seriously injured, and only half of the greatsword that he had always cherished was left.

They leaned against the boulder with their backs, leaning against each other.

When he heard the noise, the captain opened his eyes with great effort, and when he found out that it was a hunter from the first phase of the support group, he forced a smile.

"You guys are here? It seems that guy has left, hehe."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Grand Commander fell into a coma, and the relatively complete white thorn in his hand fell to the ground.

"Captain! Provide emergency treatment!"

After a hectic rescue effort, the vital signs of the Grand Commander and Sita were finally saved.

The cat cart that was summoned took them up, and while ensuring the speed, it carefully maintained the stability of the cat cart and brought them back to the Star Base.
