If you don't include extraneous creatures like Lanlong into the discussion, the Emerald Water Dragon in front of you is definitely the largest monster Gordon has ever seen, bar none.
His height of nearly two meters is considered outstanding among humans, but he can't even reach the hind legs of the Emerald Water Dragon.
Once upon a time, scholars classified the green water dragon, which was rare in number and whose average size was much larger than that of ordinary water dragons, as a subspecies of water dragon.
It was not until recent years, with the deepening of research, that the scholars of the Scriveners Team came up with another concept, which was finally confirmed:
——The Emerald Water Dragon and the Water Dragon belong to the same species, and the former is just a "middle-aged" individual in the group.
Like many creatures that live in water and the sea, water dragons can continue to grow in size to very large sizes as they age.
When their life stage reaches middle-aged and old age, not only their size and strength will gradually increase, but their scales will also transform into a bright green color similar to algae, and they will become tougher, and their overall strength will completely reach the level of flying dragon monsters.
This is why ordinary water dragons are defined as three-star monsters, while green water dragons can reach five stars.
The bank of the river.
The battle between the two hunters and the Emerald Water Dragon has officially begun.
Taking advantage of Az, who made the first move, to attract the attention of the Emerald Water Dragon, Gordon quickly sprinted to its feet - for swordsmen, when encountering oversized monsters, getting under them to "get a pedicure" is a common practice. Right choice.
Stopping, the sword wielder swung the sword vertically and slashed with it.
The flame-wrapped blade of the Male Fire Dragon Flame Sword successfully broke through the scales on the Emerald Water Dragon's leg, leaving a scorched black scar.
The attacks continue.
He lifted the sword up and slashed upward, then twisted his waist and took a wrong step and slashed horizontally, completing a set of tentative combos.
From the few wounds that were not too deep, Gordon roughly judged the "meat quality" of the Emerald Water Dragon.
The scales are very hard and the skin is quite tough. The defense is generally a whole level stronger than that of a water dragon, but it is still within the range of the sharpness of the male fire dragon's flame sword blue Zanmi (Takumi).
After completing the exploratory attack, Gordon was ready to temporarily put away his knife and retreat.
Usually at this time, the monster that reacts will launch a counterattack, and the gain outweighs the gain.
However, this time, he was surprised to find that the Emerald Water Dragon's attention was still firmly attracted by Aziz and could not care about him at all.
Because of his love for "fishing", Aziz is very familiar with the habits of ichthyosaur and sea dragon monsters, and water dragons are naturally no exception.
Unlike the physiological structure of most terrestrial creatures, which have their eyes facing forward, the eyes of water dragons, like fish, grow on both sides of the head.
Such eyes have a wider field of vision, and can even include things behind them, but in contrast, their frontal visual sensitivity is much inferior.
In water, water dragons can make up for this shortcoming by swinging their bodies and heads during swimming.
But on shore, it's not so flexible.
Taking advantage of this small physical defect, Aziz stood directly in front of the Emerald Water Dragon, stabbing the latter's chin with the spear in his hand.
Whenever the Emerald Water Dragon twisted its neck and turned its head to see him clearly, he would slide away with a flexible side-sliding step, return to the blind spot of the Emerald Water Dragon's field of vision, and continue to attack, leaving the Water Dragon with no time to care about anything else.
In this way, Gordon only needs to pay attention to the feet of the Emerald Water Dragon that move from time to time, and be careful not to be stepped on, and then he can calmly prepare to charge up the attack.
What else is there to say?
Charge one stage, two stages, three stages, release!
The male fire dragon's flame sword slashed down hard, leaving a much deeper wound on the green water dragon's leg than before.
Change posture, continue to charge up, and slash with strong charge!
"Drink!" followed Gordon's low drink.
The scales, skin and muscles of the Emerald Water Dragon's calf were torn open by the flaming sword, causing a huge gash to bleed.
Such an attack finally caused the Cuishui Dragon to experience unbearable pain.
It turned its body violently, sweeping around with its two fins and giant tail roaring in the wind, trying to drive out the annoying guy underneath it.
Gordon, who was well prepared, turned slightly and dodged the legs of the Emerald Water Dragon. As for the tail flick that was much higher than his head, he didn't care at all.
There are disadvantages to being too big. Can your fish tail still touch me?
Gordon laughed secretly in his heart, and then was thrown away.
"."
"Hey, hey! Are you okay?" Aziz shouted nervously.
Gordon got up in disgrace and shook his head and responded: "Ahem, I'm fine!"
Fortunately, Feng Ying is not here, otherwise he, a cheap master, would be embarrassed.
I thought that the green water dragon's fish tail, which could only swing left and right, couldn't touch me, but the airflow driven by its tail fin alone blew me away.
What is this? Another dimension flick? (wtm can't think of a more reasonable explanation)
Gordon, who had a new understanding of the strength of the Emerald Water Dragon, decided to be more cautious.
But before he could get close to the Emerald Water Dragon again, the latter suddenly jumped up, lay down on the ground, and began to twist and slide forward like a fish swimming in the water.
Under the combined action of the mucus secreted from the abdomen and strong muscles, the Emerald Water Dragon burst out at a high speed that was inconsistent with its size - this is the unique gliding dragon car of the ichthyosaur species!
Gordon, who was in the path of impact, immediately started running wildly.
With the size of the Emerald Water Dragon, it is impossible to avoid the dragon cart in time by simply rolling or flying.
People who have not experienced it will never be able to imagine the tension of a giant beast that is more than 20 meters long and weighs hundreds of tons roaring past.
Gordon was relieved to have escaped with his life.
Fortunately, the main purpose of the Emerald Water Dragon does not seem to be to kill itself. Otherwise, as long as it slightly corrects its sliding route, its probability of escaping will be greatly reduced.
As Gordon guessed, the real target of the Emerald Water Dragon was indeed not him, but the big river not far away.
The severe injuries suffered to its legs made it realize that ground combat was not its strong point. Only when it returned to the water was its home field!
A distance of tens of meters can be reached in an instant for the Emerald Water Dragon gliding at high speed.
After the huge splash, it had entered the river and disappeared without a trace.
"Be careful! It hasn't left!" Aziz, who realized what the Emerald Water Dragon was going to do, reminded Gordon loudly.
At the same time, he quickly rushed to the river bank and set up a shield to be on guard.
Gordon, who had hunted monsters like water dragons in the past year, knew their temperament clearly, so he immediately ran behind Az, also raised his sword and entered a defensive posture.
It was just as they expected.
A few seconds after the green water dragon entered the river, it raised half of its body from the river amid a loud splash of water waves.
The huge triangular mouth opened wide, and a breath of water with a diameter of only ten centimeters, but extremely powerful, swept across the hunters on the shore.
"Zi la!"
The breath swept across Az's giant shield, making a sharp sound like metal scraping.
Aziz, who was fully defensive, was pushed back several meters and could barely maintain his defensive posture.
But thanks to his efforts, Gordon behind him was only slightly affected by the aftermath of his breath, and after being blocked by the big sword, he was unscathed.
After finishing its breath, the Emerald Water Dragon fell back into the water, waiting for the next opportunity to attack.
Seeing that Az's internal organs were impacted and needed to drink medicine to recover, Gordon immediately raised his sword in front of him, his eyes alert, watching the huge fin wandering on the river.
Just then, the voice of Pig Chop came from far away, "It's coming down, meow!"
Gordon said in surprise: "Pork Chop! Is there a sonic bomb? I'm going to blow that guy out of the water!"
"Meow? No sonic bomb prepared, meow!"
Aziz, who drank a bottle of recovery medicine and regained his strength, wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Ha! He is also better at water fighting! Wait here, and go and drive it out!"
