In the quiet giant forest.
Ryan followed the trail of blue blood scattered on the ground.
To his surprise, the Static Thunder Dragon's endurance was unexpectedly good. Dragging its seriously injured body, it chased for hundreds of meters, but still no trace of it was found.
In fact, from the fact that there are fewer and fewer blood stains on the ground, it can be preliminarily judged that the injuries of the Quiet Thunder Dragon have become lighter and lighter during the period of its escape.
How should I put it? He is indeed a monster!
During the hunt, the Silent Thunder Dragon had not yet been found, but Ryan made an unexpected discovery first.
It was a strange place where several huge trees grew together. The central area surrounded by it could be said to be an excellent resting place.
Of course, if that's all, it's nothing. For a small human body like him, this giant forest can hide everywhere.
The key is the hint given by the gray font when Ryan sets foot here.
[You have discovered a place where spirituality gathers - the gap between the giant trees. 】
[You can set up a "bonfire" here to achieve rapid teleportation to the "starting point". 】
[When you are in the "Bonfire", you can use other functions except "Return". 】
[——Whether you are a navigator or a hunter, adequate rest is a very important thing. 】
[Bonfire-Gap between Giant Trees]
Seeing the prompt in front of him, Ryan was overjoyed and set up this place as a bonfire point without hesitation.
As the exploration of the isolated island deepens, if he sets off from the "raft" every time, a lot of time will be wasted on the road. But with the rapid transmission of the "bonfire", he will have more time to explore and fighting.
At the top of [Bonfire - Gap between Giant Trees], there are branches and rattans intertwined with each other. While blocking the rain, there is also plenty of light.
When Ryan set foot here, he unexpectedly discovered that there were traces of human beings here: a burned match pile in the center, a simple wooden frame and bed boards in the corner. Although they had not been used for a long time, the surfaces of these things were covered with crawlers. Moss, but traces of the past can still be seen.
After a quick search, Lane found a dusty diary.
From the material point of view, it is almost the same as the diary he found in the cave under the cliff in the past, but the thickness is much thinner. It should be used as a temporary record carrier.
This temporary diary is wrapped in a membrane similar to the intestinal wall of an animal. Because it is so well preserved, the words inside are still clearly visible.
[Xia July 11th: ...How long has it been since you came to the island? Five years? Seven years? I can't remember clearly... I originally thought that "Red Obsidian" only works on monsters, but I was wrong, very wrong. Even humans will be affected by the "red light" and become confused, often prone to irritability and madness. However, compared to monsters, it takes longer to take effect. This subtle change makes me feel fear. 】
[This is an astonishing discovery and must be returned to the hunting group headquarters. 】
[Latercomer, I wonder if you have seen the notebook I left in the cave on the seaside cliff in the outer area. Oh, by the way, the two alchemy stone statues guarding the door will not be attacked as long as they wear the "Hunter Medal", eh ...If you entered there despite the attack of the alchemy stone statue, it doesn't matter. After taking my legacy, if you have a chance, please help me pass the information back to the hunting group headquarters. This is related to the life and death of the human race! 】
[Consciousness will blur from time to time... Sometimes when I wake up, I will be covered in blood, and next to my fallen and injured partners... I have been exposed to "Red Yao" and conducted forbidden experiments. I am no longer qualified to wear that symbol of hope and hope. The medal of dawn... I know that our time is running out. 】
[To find and relieve the influence of "Red Glory", we must go deep into the isolated island. Even if the final outcome is death, if we can find the secret behind the arrival of the "ancient dragon", the migration of spirits and the "Red Sun", then we can It was a worthy death. 】
[Speaking of which, the monsters living on this mysterious island are really strong. The leaders of the forest area, the male and female fire dragons, are even much larger than their counterparts in the New World. It is hard to imagine that the inner area and even the central area are , what a terrifying existence would inhabit it. 】
[There was not much time, so I did not get too entangled with the male and female fire dragons that were attacking me. After repelling them, I set off on the road to the inner area. 】
[It's very dangerous here, please be careful if you come late. 】
[Seventh Scouting and Hunting Regiment, deputy commander, Loic Frum, stay. 】
After reading the contents of the notes translated in gray fonts in front of him, Ryan felt uneasy for a moment.
"Loic Froome", this man's name appeared in front of him again.
But unlike him when he first set out on the road, at this moment, the deputy leader of the reconnaissance and hunting group was affected by the "Red Yao" and felt confused in his heart.
What kind of secrets does this isolated island hide?
Also, are the leaders of the forest area a pair of male and female fire dragons?
Ryan frowned in thought.
I don't know whether the one I saw not long ago was a female or a male fire dragon. There were two such powerful monsters in the forest area. I really don't know whether I should call it lucky or unlucky.
Shaking his head and putting the temporary notebook into the space ring, Ryan continued on the path of hunting the Silent Thunder Dragon without resting.
…
The forest was lush, and after nearly ten minutes of walking, Ryan finally found the escaped Quiet Thunder Dragon.
Here is a cut-off ancient wooden pile, with vines falling down, and the Quiet Thunder Dragon is lying on the big tree pile on top of the large net made of vines, seeming to be sleeping.
Following the vine, Ryan climbed up carefully.
I have to say that this rough rattan is really easy to climb, just like a "natural ladder".
The radius of the big tree stump is more than ten meters. It is difficult to imagine what kind of towering ancient tree it was before it broke, and what kind of power it must be to be able to break such an ancient tree.
Standing on the edge of the big tree stump, Ryan pulled out the big sword behind him and walked step by step towards the location of the Quiet Thunder Dragon.
Perhaps it was because it was too seriously injured and fell into a deep sleep. Ryan's approach did not wake up the Silent Thunder Dragon.
What a great opportunity!
Ryan's heart moved.
He slowed down as much as possible and adjusted his position so that he was more than one meter in front of the static thunder dragon's head.
From this distance, he could clearly see the static thunder dragon's chest rising and falling slightly with its breathing, as well as the scars on its body.
A faint burnt smell entered his nostrils. Ryan held his breath and concentrated. He put the sword on his shoulders. His muscles all over his body were strong, his spirituality surged, and he began to "accumulate power."
The "charge" of [Storm Sword Skill - Breaking Wave] is divided into three stages. Each accumulated stage can greatly increase the power of the slash.
"Charging strength" not only requires physical strength, but is also a severe test for the spirituality in the body.
In terms of physical fitness, the Traveling Clone has exceeded the limit, but spiritually... it is relatively lacking, but it is still much stronger than the original body.
According to Ryan's own guess, "a period of charging" requires [Physique] and [Spirit] to reach 2.0 at the same time to meet the minimum requirements for use.
In the main body, Ryan's limit is "half a charge", but as for the traveling clone, when standing still, he should be able to barely use a complete "one charge".
The currently sleeping Quiet Thunder Dragon gives Ryan the opportunity to achieve "a period of energy accumulation" and then "sleep kill"!
His thoughts lasted only a moment. On the big tree stump, Ryan accumulated his energy for three full seconds. The tense muscles in his body and the spirituality surging to the extreme in his body made him feel like a boiler about to explode. If he didn't release it, He himself was about to explode first.
"kill!"
With a loud shout, [High-spirited War Cry] opened the way. Under the "Morale Boost", Ryan, whose strength and speed further increased, slashed at the neck of the Quiet Thunder Dragon with all his strength with the silver-blue sword in his hand.
This is the peak sword with the morale increase of [Storm Sword Skill - Breaking Wave] + [One-Handed Weapon Specialization] + [High-spirited Battle Cry]!
The moment the sword was slashed out, an unprecedented sense of exhilaration filled his heart, making Ryan intoxicated.
"Pfft!"
The flesh and blood were torn apart layer by layer, blue blood spattered, and the [Great Sword Fierce Ice Flower] broke through the scales on the Stinging Thunder Dragon's neck, and penetrated all the way until the cervical vertebrae, where it was blocked by solid bones.
But the huge cutting power and the sharp blade still caused the sword to embed itself into the cervical vertebrae, causing horrific damage.
"hiss--!"
The severe pain awakened the Silent Thunder Dragon from its deep sleep. In the crisis of life and death, it swung its tail violently and swept away Ryan and the big sword in his hand.
"Pfft..."
The sword was separated from the body, causing the Quiet Thunder Dragon to suffer secondary damage, and a large amount of blood gurgled out. What's more serious is that the injury to the spine caused half of its body to lose the ability to move, and it could only collapse on the vine net in a mournful manner. .
The sweep that defeated Ryan was just a flashback before death.
"Stab it..."
Ryan's sword stood still and retreated a full five or six meters, and then the power of the static thunder dragon's tail was removed.
He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. It had to be said that the monster's death blow was indeed powerful enough.
Standing up, Ryan did not continue to attack, but kept a safe distance, watching the static thunder dragon's heavy blood loss, waiting for its life to fade away.
The continuous battles had already weakened the Quiet Thunder Dragon to an extreme. The sword that cut off half of his neck was the last straw that broke the weight.
The wailing sound gradually died down, and a minute later, there was no more sound from the Quiet Thunder Dragon on Tengwang.
At this moment, a prompt on the panel popped up in front of Ryan's eyes.
——
[Level]: 6 (9%)
[Spiritual Value]: 4635→7635
[Spirituality]: 2.0
【Physique】:7.90→9.97
——
With power surging in his body, Ryan turned his attention to the body of the Silent Thunder Dragon, where a long needle-shaped object was emitting a dim light.
Ryan stepped forward and picked it up, and the gray font also gave a timely prompt.
[Get [trophy: Electric Needle]! 】
