Monster life starting from picking up materials

The airship began to turn, and the hunters who had moved their guns to the side began to focus their fire on the flashes falling from the clouds.

Ji Jie also saw the counterattack launched by the airship. The afterimages of the iron rods shot out by the rapid-fire crossbow were incredibly connected into a long strip, and one crossbow arrow after another was immersed in the flames of the evil star.

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, the evil star began to disintegrate under the heavy burden, and the pale flames dissipated in all directions. It could be clearly seen that there was some kind of stone in it, still falling under the capture of gravity.

But both the power and the threat have been greatly reduced.

"That's not some collection of energy, but a real meteorite..."

"It's amphibole. A sample was delivered to us from the village of Sinard, and scholars have long studied it. This ore is unlike any other ore found on this land, containing many unprecedented elements."

"Only Qianjian Mountain can unearth such ores. This may also be related to the existence of the Serpent King Dragon."

Scholars discussed it, and some of them found relevant information about amphibole.

But a series of ferocious roars rang out from the abyss below the mountain, interrupting everyone's discussion.

The ancient dragon observation ship shook slightly, and followed the main force to speed up the turning speed. The entire formation of airships was moving away from the range of the dark clouds.

Everyone also moved from the terrace to the deck to ensure that they could pay attention to the situation.

Ji Jie, who was sitting in the corner, could clearly see the sweat in their palms. Some of them even couldn't hold the pen firmly and dropped it on the wooden board.

Information about the King of Snakes has been summarized from past legends, but when scholars actually get a glimpse of its true form, they are still very excited.

There is no doubt that the super-giant monster is powerful. The meteorites falling from the dark clouds and the giant skeletons that build the ecology of the new world all add a veil of mystery to this power.

"Look there!"

Some sharp-eyed scholars have already seen a glimpse of the scales behind the several sword mountains. The burning red sword scales have cut through the mountain and wrapped around the main peak of Thousand Sword Mountain, winding upwards.

"He appeared, but his color and condition were different from most legendary Ophiuchus!"

"This might not be the legendary Snake King Dragon, known as the 'Eternal King,' but rather a dragon that appears in another legend—"

A scholar quickly flipped the corner of the book until he reached that page and uttered a trembling sound mixed with fear and excitement:

"The Snake Emperor Dragon, known as the 'Praised Immortal Emperor'!"

"He looks very angry. Did he sense that we've entered the main peak area?"

Airships are all made of monster materials, and their size will indeed be recognized by monsters as "dangerous monsters."

"There have been airships that strayed into Thousand Swords Mountain before, but we've never witnessed anything like this. Perhaps the invasion of another ancient dragon has made him more active and put him in an extremely stressful state."

"Another legend describes a red-bodied snake dragon writhing violently, causing severe earthquakes and landslides."

"From the description, it sounds like a snake shedding its skin? Also, snakes also become extremely sensitive and aggressive during the shedding period."

Biologists scratched their heads and put forward their own opinions.

"During this period, the villages surrounding Qianjian Mountain could clearly feel the tremors. Clearly, under the double pressure, the Snake Emperor Dragon has become more active and will actively eliminate any possible threats."

The scholar looked a little uneasy. He approached the main peak rashly because the main peak of Qianjian Mountain was so high that it was only accessible by airship for large-scale field surveys.

However, he did not expect that the Lord of Thousand Swords Mountain had been stressed to such an extent that he would be attacked just by getting close.

Ji Jie listened silently, already aware of the impact of his battle with the Snake Emperor Dragon.

However, he could handle the problems caused by him by himself. After all, the Snake Emperor Dragon had been beaten into hiding by him before.

Now that it appears again, we can just fight it off again, and we can also get the materials needed for transformation.

While the scholars were discussing fiercely, the body of the Snake Emperor Dragon had already left Jianshan Mountain and coiled up the main peak of Qianjian Mountain.

Chapter 534: Snake Emperor Dragon Encounter.

The Snake Emperor Dragon's long body wrapped around the main peak of Qianjian Mountain. With its head raised high and its eyes wide open, it stared at the group of airships that were leaving the dark clouds, its tongue slightly protruding.

Several evil stars followed the guidance and fell from the dark clouds above the fleet.

"Everyone, spread out! Prepare for impact, be prepared for a forced landing, and do everything possible to disperse those meteorites!!!"

Dark Night shouted loudly, and the flag operator beside him quickly waved flags to pass instructions to the other airships.

The airship formation slowly dispersed, trying hard to avoid the evil star falling from the sky. At the same time, it began to descend in altitude, preparing for an emergency landing if hit.

In addition to the crossbows on the gun positions pouring ammunition towards the evil stars, the crossbows of the gunner team also opened fire. With concentrated firepower, the two evil stars that were most likely to hit them directly in this round were shattered, but the flames from the explosion still inevitably hit them.

The materials used to make the armed airship are of high quality and it only shook slightly after the impact.

However, the escort supply boats were in extremely bad condition. In addition to enduring the explosion of the evil star, they also had to deal with the disturbance caused by the falling of other evil stars. Three more supply boats had to make emergency landings and fell downwards.

Compared to the supply boat still staying in the sky, the falling supply boat attracted the Snake Emperor Dragon's attention more. The Snake Emperor Dragon actually slowly descended from the main peak and swam towards the place where the supply boat fell.

"Damn it! We can't abandon them. Once we're out of the cloud range, we need to land in a safe place and enter a wartime state!"

Dark Night's sight swept across the many mountain peaks below. After breaking away from the dark clouds covering the main peak, the airship began to slowly descend in altitude and formed a wartime camp on a relatively safe mountain.

The three airship wreckages also emitted smoke that floated into the sky to mark their locations.

"Deploy artillery and defenses, applying our experience against giant monsters."

"Notify the scholars and compilers! We need to know his weaknesses. This will facilitate subsequent investigations and accumulate experience for possible future responses to the Snake Emperor Dragon!"

The reaction of the Snake Emperor Dragon is similar to that of the restless ancient dragons in recent years. The ancient dragons that crossed over from the New World have also arrived here, and the skeleton of the Snake King Dragon has appeared in the New World.

All these made him wonder whether the restlessness of the Snake Emperor Dragon meant that the other party was about to launch the Ancient Dragon Crossing!

It is still unclear how the Snake Emperor Dragon will carry out the Ancient Dragon Crossing, but if the other party migrates on the surface, his movement will be a series of continuous earthquakes!

The stressed Snake Emperor Dragon meant they couldn't proceed with the investigation smoothly as planned, so—

Rescuing the hunter who made an emergency landing in the airship, investigating the Snake Emperor Dragon, and gaining experience in fighting the Snake Emperor Dragon, this is the whole meaning of this encounter.

Cannons, crossbows, restraint crossbows, and various large weapons were deployed by the airships, and explosive barrels, gunpowder barrels, and ammunition were also carried out of the airships by the hunters.

Various forces organized this large-scale operation to investigate various matters, and also made contingency plans for the Yangyan Dragon couple's riot, the unknown ancient dragon and the Snake King Dragon's expansion of the battlefield.

The villages around Qianjian Mountain had already issued dangerous situation notifications, with hunters being notified to migrate or additional hunters being stationed.

Signal flares marking the location of the camp were fired from the air to instruct the hunters who had made an emergency landing to evacuate or enter a state of war.

The Snake Emperor Dragon's long body also broke away from the main peak, winding around one mountain after another, heading towards the first airship wreckage.

The hunters there had already recovered from the forced landing, and the wounded had been evacuated immediately, leaving only the weapons carried down from the supply boat.

The cannon roared continuously under the hunter's control, and heavy black bullets fell on the body of the Snake Emperor Dragon, exploding with flames.

But the artillery fire failed to shake the Snake Emperor's armor in the slightest, and the Snake Emperor Dragon's forward momentum was not hindered at all.

The mountain shook, debris fell, and the Snake Emperor Dragon was getting closer and closer to its deployment site.

The hunter operating the artillery was not discouraged. It was extremely difficult to cause damage to the shell of a super giant monster.

Adjusting the cannon control bolt, the electromagnetic component has been fully charged, and a cannonball flashing with electromagnetic light flew out.

Unlike the previously fired shells with curved trajectories, the trajectory of this shell was extremely straight, and it possessed a powerful impact force in itself.

"boom!"

The shell hit the giant fan-shaped blade on the back of the Snake Emperor Dragon, and was bounced out during the collision, hitting the mountain where the Snake Emperor Dragon was wrapped in a snake shape.

The already crumbling mountaintop was blown off and fell towards the body of the Snake Emperor Dragon, raising a cloud of dust.

But when the smoke and dust cleared, the huge fan blade showed no damage at all, and the Snake Emperor Dragon continued to move forward without noticing anything.

If the previous artillery bombardment gave the Snake Emperor Dragon a layer of dust, then the blown-down mountains added more dust to the Snake Emperor Dragon.

"What an exaggeration."

The hunter left the gun position with a sigh, gave up bombarding with artillery shells, and instead stacked the ammunition and gunpowder barrels together, then retreated to the rear without hesitation.

The roar of artillery fire paused briefly and then resumed, coming from hunters at other artillery deployment points.

The Snake Emperor Dragon ignored the attack launched by the small dot on the mountain, and did not notice that there was no one in the wreckage of the airship. He continued to advance forward.

When its snake head pounced on the wreckage of the airship, a shell also hit the ammunition piled up in the wreckage of the airship.

A large amount of gunpowder was detonated, and the exploding flames completely covered the giant snake's head.

The cheers were strangled in the throat before they could even burst out. The Snake Emperor Dragon poked his head out from the firelight, followed the direction of the incoming shell, and looked towards the wreckage of the second airship not far away.

The snake's pupils were wide open and its eyes were glaring. The hunters suddenly felt their whole bodies frozen and unable to move for a while.

This is pure fear of the giant. In front of the giant head of the Snake Emperor, they are so small.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The five-barreled artillery shells from the deployment point on the other side flew towards the head of the Snake Emperor Dragon, causing the hunters in the wreckage of the airship to react and reload their ammunition.

"There! There! Attack there, you might be able to cause damage!"

The young compiler called out, and the hunters fixed their gazes on the spot she pointed out.

The skin scales at that location were brighter, and there were scabs and residual blood, indicating a healing wound.

The gun mount was quickly pushed by the hunters, and the shooting angle was adjusted to aim at the area where the wound was located.

The Snake Emperor Dragon was not moving forward by spinning at this time, but was swimming with its long body wriggling in sections. Its speed was stable, and it was not difficult to measure and lock the wound in advance.

Shells fired one after another and exploded at the wound site.

"Roar!!"

The Snake Emperor Dragon seemed to feel the pain and quickened its pace. Soon, it surrounded the hill where the airship's remains were.

535

Chapter 535 Evacuation.

"This is not good."

The hunters followed the example of the hunters at the first airship wreckage and began piling up the unused ammunition before beginning their evacuation.

The mountain was quite steep, which greatly affected the hunters' retreat speed. They had just reached the mountainside when the Snake Emperor Dragon wrapped around the mountain and began to tighten its body.

The mountain shook, and the hunters looked at the snake body winding upwards below, looking at each other, and finally came up with only one answer.

"Jump."

Everyone jumped down and landed on the snake emperor dragon's winding body.

"Well done!"

Dark Night, who was watching this scene through a telescope, raised his arms, and the people around him also cheered for the hunters who climbed onto the body of the Snake Emperor Dragon.

Climbing onto the body of a giant monster is also a necessary part of facing a giant monster.

"Run, run, run, this guy's scales are so hot!"

The scales of the Snake Emperor Dragon radiate scorching heat, and its serpentine movements mean that hunters must run to avoid being entangled in the snake's body.

"Wait! There's a floating scale!"

Keeping his eyes on the ground while running, the compiler soon found a piece of material that might be obtained, pulled out a peeling knife and began to pry.

At this moment, the Snake Emperor Dragon's body trembled as the mountain shook, and the girl almost hit her head against the red-hot and sharp sword scales beside her.

"Hey! This is too dangerous!"

The uncle hunter beside her quickly held the girl's head, hesitated for a moment, pulled out his sword, stabbed it into the gap between the fallen scales and pried it hard!

"Hot, hot, hot, hot!"

A scale half the size of a person was pried off. The compiler tried to grab it, but the hot edge of the scale instantly burned through her leather gloves.

The hunter holding a sledgehammer beside him was also stunned. He glanced at the head of the snake emperor dragon, which didn't notice them at all. He raised his weapon and hit the sword scale on the side of him with a red blade!

one time! Twice! Three times!

The strong oppressive wind pressure blew across his companion's face, and with a "clang" sound, the protruding sword scales were broken into pieces at the very edge, and the hunter quickly caught the flying fragments and put them into the bag.

"Okay, let's run!"

The uncle hunter also put away his sword, grabbed the scales and held them in his arms, and ran despite the scorching heat of the scales, with the editor following closely behind him.

Several people followed the snake's body down, and finally jumped, they successfully escaped from the sword mountain that was being strangled by the Snake Emperor Dragon.
