Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 154 Li Xia VS. Extinction Dragon!
The massive body of the Lava Dragon suddenly trembled violently to an unprecedented degree.

Then, it slowly leans forward until it stops moving, and its back becomes a natural platform.

The dark red magma flowing over its body lost the power of the ancient dragon and gradually dimmed and cooled down.

"Did they really defeat them all? All by themselves?"

The apostle stared blankly at the Lava Dragon that had fallen into a brief slumber before him, feeling a sense of unreality and illusion.

"Is this for real? Carbon-based organisms can withstand temperatures of 1,000 degrees Celsius?"

"I guess there are some high-temperature protection items or equipment. This is a hall, there are no useless equipment or attributes."

At that moment, a subtle feeling arose in the hearts of each apostle.

Not only the apostles, but even the hunters couldn't help but shudder and involuntarily look up.

A dark shadow shot through the clouds at incredible speed and flew toward the dormant Lava Dragon.

It was a small but extremely intense fear, a fear stemming from biological instinct, the fear of facing a top predator.

Nergigante—a terrifying ancient dragon that feeds on other ancient dragons!
A rare look of worry appeared on the Commander-in-Chief's face. He turned to the swordsmanship master and said:

"This should be the mysterious ancient dragon discovered by the investigation team—Master. We need more information!"

The sword master remained silent, simply nodding, gripping the massive longsword behind him, and walked forward.

The commander-in-chief turned his attention back to the Lavasioth, where the guild's hunters were.

"Bam—"

The dark shadow descended from the sky and slammed heavily onto the hard back of the Lava Dragon, the strong airflow blowing away the surrounding thick fog and dust.

Li Xia narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the monster that had appeared before him.

[Comparing the intelligence and mental attributes of both parties]

[Evaluation: A monster that hunts ancient dragons to maintain its super-fast regeneration ability, sacrificing its ability to manipulate nature in exchange for an incredibly powerful physique.]

"call--"

Li Xia closed the control panel and let out a breath. This Nergigante was somewhat similar to a technique from an Elder Dragon.

There are no fancy tricks, only an extremely powerful physique and super regenerative abilities.

Does he resemble me somewhat?

The bright yellow, vertically shaped pupils of the Extinction Dragon slowly moved forward, fixing their gaze on Li Xia in front of it.

It keenly sensed that this 'little bug' seemed to contain energy comparable to that of an ancient dragon.

The hunting instinct is awakened, and the thorns on its body rise and fall like living things, their color slowly turning black.

Li Xia stretched out his hand, and firefly-like lights converged from all directions, condensing into a jet-black spear in his hand.

"Ouch!"

A blue dragon flew in from the horizon, letting out a high-pitched roar, its light sweeping across the silent night. Black Charcoal, hiding behind it, raised its cat claws, and like a countdown, extended its sharp claws one by one.

321
A stirring flute melody suddenly rang out.

"boom--"

Two shallow footprints were imprinted on the hard ground, and the distance of several dozen meters was covered in an instant.

Li Xia had already appeared in front of the Extinction Dragon, and his three-pointed double-edged spear suddenly burst into red and white flames.

That's boiling true qi!
Thrust! Upward slash! Downward chop!

A flash of light appeared, and a dazzling white rainbow lingered along the trajectory of the spear tip.

"choke!"

A loud metallic clang rang out, and Li Xia's pupils contracted.

Nergigante actually used its membranous wings as a shield in front of it.

No, the metallic membrane wings are the best shield!

"roar-----"

The terrifying roar rang out again, the same roar that had been felt from the Rathalos before.

But the same trick didn't work on Li Xia. Just as the Nergigante raised its neck, he had already drawn his gun and crouched down.

The moment the roar rang out, his body suddenly emitted a blue and white light.

Accompanied by a crisp "ding—"

He slid two steps backward.

Advanced tactic – See through the dragon's roar and dodge its attack!

But even Rathalos knows that a roar is followed by a pounce, let alone Nergigante?

A cruel smile appeared in the bright yellow snake eyes of the Extinction Dragon.

The thorns on the membrane wing that blocked Li Xia's sudden thrust retracted slightly, as if they were alive.

Then it sprayed out like a torrential downpour!

Gu Long's power was so formidable that the thorns he fired using only his muscle strength were comparable to bullets.

The dense thorns pierced through Li Xia in an instant.

A human-like look of smugness appeared in the bright yellow eyes of the Extinction Dragon, but it quickly turned into confusion.

The pierced figure of 'Li Xia' swayed twice like a bubble before gradually fading and disappearing.

A white rainbow, even more dazzling than before, suddenly bloomed before their eyes, and the Extinction Dragon felt a sharp pain in its membrane wings.

In its shock and rage, the Nergigante instinctively flapped its massive membranous wings, blowing everything around it away.

Li Xia used his spear to block the immense force coming from the wings, taking a few steps back to dissipate the power.

Only then did he quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness I didn't know that after encountering Rathalos before, I would definitely have a follow-up attack after the dragon roar.

Otherwise, there would have been absolutely no time to dodge. In their very first encounter, Nergigante actually launched a deadly attack.

One wrong move and you'll be dead!
No wonder that Tier 2 team was routed.
He wielded the spear nimbly in his hand, and a flame seemed to be boiling inside his chest. Fighting such a monster seemed to make his blood boil as well.

He lightly kicked the end of the spear with his left foot, then stomped heavily on the ground.

"boom--"

Dust billowed up, and Li Xia's figure appeared and disappeared, but in the blink of an eye, the boiling true qi dispersed the dust.

The stillness of the night seemed to come alive, trembling twice.

Central-level spear!
Nergigante shook its body, revealing its true fighting stance for the first time.

In the first round, both sides discovered that the other was no ordinary opponent.

What follows is a life-or-death struggle!
