After seeing the distress signal, whether they were waiting in the camp outside the canyon or the hunters lurking in the canyon ahead to observe, they were all coming.
According to the plan prepared in advance, the shooters who rushed to the scene did not climb on their backs rashly.
Although the Laoshan Dragon's back is wide, the suitable attack positions are also limited. Climbing all the way up may interfere with the operations of the upper-level hunters.
They spread out on the ridge, set up ballistas to attack, and moved forward alternately as the Lava Dragon advanced.
Due to the long distance, most of the crossbow bullets had no effect on the Nergigante, and were directly deflected by the thorns and hard skin.
Except for special crossbow shells other than Supernova, only shells with huge single-shot power such as armor-piercing grenades can have some effect.
But it's almost like throwing small firecrackers at people, which will make the Nergigante feel irritated, but it will be difficult to actually hurt it.
Only a few five-star swordsmen with outstanding skills and equipment landed on the back of Laoshan Dragon on pterosaurs and joined the frontal battle.
The remaining three- and four-star swordsmen are responsible for covering the shooters on the ridge and driving away the troublesome acid pterosaurs.
A spear wielder and a shield ax wielder wearing heavy armor, as soon as they landed on the back of the molten mountain dragon, they immediately carried their large shields to the Nergigante dragon.
They had never faced Gu Long head-on, but they had no choice but to bite the bullet at this time.
The Nergigante, which was annoyed by the shooters' shooting, roared angrily, raised its claws, slapped it on the ground, and then jerked forward.
A large number of sharp thorns like steel cones flew forward in a fan shape along with the gravel.
The two hunters holding large shields immediately lowered their center of gravity and set up shields to defend themselves. However, the power and sharpness of the thorns were far beyond their imagination.
The shield-axe user's defensive posture was broken, and he staggered backwards and almost fell to the ground.
The spear user, who was tall and strong and equipped with heavy armor, was able to withstand it, but the large shield of his female fire dragon spear was nailed with six or seven bone spurs, one of which even penetrated the shield and pierced deeply into his arm.
Blood dripped down the edge of the large shield and fell on the red-hot ground, making a sizzling sound.
The faces of the hunters were very ugly.
The spear made from the material of the female fire dragon is absolutely excellent. For most hunters, it can even be called a top-level equipment.
But a casual blow from the monster in front of them could actually destroy the shield, which meant that it was impossible for their armor to withstand the opponent's attack.
"Guerrilla tactics! You can't handle it with force!" Jean reminded everyone loudly.
He was well aware of the strength of the Nergigante. Not to mention the equipment of the female fire dragon, even heavy armor made of Tyrannosaurus materials would be penetrated by bone spines.
Not to mention that this guy is obviously much stronger than before.
An insect stick user quietly approached from the side and behind, and before he could launch an attack, he was met with a turning claw strike from the Nergigante.
He quickly took off with a pole, and while he was adjusting his posture in the air, the Nergigante had already swung its tail and knocked him down far away, leaving him uncertain whether he was alive or dead.
In order to cover others in rescuing the wounded, Evelin took the risk to get close to Nergigante, swung her sword twice and then immediately flew back, avoiding Nergigante's counterattack.
Gene and Ferdy immediately took over and tried their best to entangle the Nergigante.
Evelin, who withdrew, glanced around and quickly assessed the situation.
Including their four top hunters, there were a total of nine hunters surrounding the Nergigante.
There seemed to be a lot of people, but they lacked the core combat power to fight Nergigante head-on. If they swarmed up, they would die. If this continued, it would be difficult to even protect themselves, and there was no way they could repel Nergigante.
But the more times this happens, the less likely you are to lose your cool.
She ordered loudly: "Everyone spread out, don't take the initiative to attack, just protect yourself with all your strength when the monsters charge! Other high-level hunters will soon support you!"
Most of the elite hunters who can join the fifth phase of the group are arrogant people, but there are no fools who overestimate their abilities. The continuous appearance of seriously injured people makes everyone sober-minded.
Immediately follow the instructions and spread out.
The Nergigante's dark yellow single eye glanced at a tall and thin swordsman and pounced on him.
The Dual Swordsman immediately turned on his ghost form and turned around to swing his sword. While spinning, he lowered his center of gravity and avoided the attack in a posture that was almost close to the ground.
Almost at the same time, the Nergigante passed over his head and swung its giant tail covered with spikes.
This continuous or even overlapping attack rhythm is completely different from that of ordinary monsters. The dual-sword user reacts very quickly, but it is too late to dodge in the next step.
He could only cross his swords in front of him and pray that he would not be killed in one blow.
At this moment, a figure jumped down from the pterosaur passing by at low altitude.
She put up a shield in front of the dual-sword user, and countless shimmering worm threads wrapped around her shield to solidify the defense.
"boom!"
The mace-like thorn tail collided with the big shield, and the tough worm threads were broken. The shield holder was also knocked to the ground half-kneeling, but he finally resisted the blow.
"This guy from Nima has lost so much weight and is still so strong?!" Feng Ying, who arrived in time, cursed but didn't dare to stop the movements of her hands.
He quickly stood up and inserted his sword into the large shield, preparing to use precise defense to meet the claws of the Nergigante.
She is not afraid of head-on confrontation after being given the power of destiny!
But someone moved a step faster than her.
Another supernova struck from a distance. The crossbow bullet accurately penetrated into the belly of the Nergigante, and the golden-red fireball that exploded almost missed the Nergigante.
At the top of the cliff, Ancier pulled the crossbow bolt and loaded the penetrating bullet for the fierce moment [Shigure].
He did not fire immediately, but unfolded the scope and locked it for several seconds before steadily pulling the trigger.
The penetrating bullet came out of the gun, covering a distance of nearly a hundred meters in the blink of an eye. At a tricky angle, it brushed past the head of Feng Ying, who jumped up to release the "empty solution", and shot towards the Nergigante's remaining single eye.
Unfortunately, the target's struggling movement caused the impact point of the crossbow to shift slightly, and eventually it hit the Nergigante's eye socket, shattering a small piece of scales.
Feng Ying's Kongjie also fell, and the ax blade wrapped with lightning opened a wound on the side of the Nergigante's head.
After landing, she immediately rolled. After avoiding the Nergigante's claws, Feng Ying quickly retreated for a distance, turned around and shouted angrily, "Hey! Do you want to kill me too?!"
Anhil ignored her, folded and put away the heavy crossbow, and summoned the pterosaur to fly to the top of another nearby mountain to get a better shooting range.
At this time, two more figures landed next to Nergigante.
Gale, who was wearing a cat helmet, raised the black feather crossbow, pulled the crossbow bolt hard, then squeezed the trigger, and fired consecutive bullets at an astonishing rate of fire.
Because the distance was close enough, the power of the penetrating bullet was unleashed, creating a shallow crater with blood splattering on the side of the Nergigante's body that was rarely covered by its carapace.
Hayata, who charged at full speed, almost turned into an afterimage. With the force of the charge, the dragon sword [Red Lotus] flashed out of its scabbard and slashed diagonally at the roaring Nergigante, forcing it back.
Seeing the top hunters arriving one after another, Evelin let out a long sigh of relief.
"There are too many people and it's too confusing. Free up the battlefield and retreat below six stars!" She commanded loudly, "Jean, Aiden, you two also retreat!"
"I am also a high-level hunter!"
"Let's go, let's go. Our weapons can't break through the defense, so don't make trouble. Come and help the wounded!" Aiden dragged the unconvinced Gene away.
"Where's your master?" Feidi waved his hunting flute, emitting an energizing sound wave, and turned his head to ask Feng Ying, who was opening the red shield.
"Uh, maybe we have to fly for a while?"
ps.
The heavy crossbow user who appeared at the end of the previous chapter, as well as the spear user and dual sword user who appeared in this chapter, are all roles given to readers to provide templates (book friend 20190224174521130, packing belt on the flat chain, lucky Luo someone)
This chapter is a relatively fast-paced interlude. Adding character descriptions will slow down the pace. These three people will appear again later.
There will be some modifications to the settings, and don’t worry about the problem of being deflated. It is normal for four or five-star hunters to be deflated when they encounter a tough battle, or even a Nergigante that is about to evolve into a world-destroying dragon.
