Chapter 143 Dragon of Thorns
The crater caused by the aerial bombing collapsed in just a few seconds.
The land that was supposed to be thick was now like a fragile sugar cake, breaking at the touch of a touch.
Could bombing have caused this level of destruction?
Yu Ke, who was in danger, had no flying ability and could not cross a distance of 100 meters out of thin air. However, with his strength, he would not just close his eyes and wait for death. He stepped on the falling soil to slow down his fall, and then took out the black thorn bow and arrow.
The arrows specially made by the Logistics Department of the Forestry Defense Bureau are not all attack types, but also have some auxiliary functions.
Hook lock arrow, loaded.
The arrow was nailed to the tree trunk hundreds of meters away, and the tip was dug into the bark. Yu Ke held the long bow and stopped his falling. He flew forward like a swing, leaning against the ground that had not yet collapsed. .
It was also at this time that Yu Ke had time to observe the changes in the overall environment.
Recalling the giant three-toed scale claws that poked out of the ground earlier, there must be a reason for the large-scale collapse of the forest.
He lowered his eyes and looked at his feet, his pupils suddenly contracted.
The expected solid ground simply does not exist!
What appeared in the field of vision was a sinkhole with a diameter of several hundred meters. It was about twenty meters above the surface. Countless roots and vines intertwined into a huge net bag. Through the gaps between the net bags, Yu Ke A glimpse into the dark abyss below
At this time, Yu Ke finally understood why the ground collapsed so easily.
It's not because of the bombers' ground-penetrating bombs, but because the ground in the core area of the Giant Vine Forest has been hollowed out from the beginning. Both the land and the vine roots are just a disguise built on this net bag.
Continuous explosions tore apart the camouflage, and the existence hidden in the depths was forced to appear and destroy those enemies who dared to invade its territory!
Grabbing the long bow, he pressed it against the wall of the pit where debris and mud were still falling. He tilted his body and stepped on the protruding rocks. Yu Ke's eyes wandered between the net pockets. He wanted to know where the monster that caused the land collapse was hiding. where.
The three-toed scaly claw that broke through the ground not long ago was something Yu Ke saw with his own eyes. A monster of that size should be very conspicuous, but when he looked back now, he saw nothing.
His eyes finally landed on the center of the net bag.
There is an area where dark green vines and many roots gather together, with the thickest layer. The surface is covered with a thin layer of snow, and inside is a tangle of roots and vines, making it difficult to see what is hidden inside.
The state of the giant vine hunting emerged in his mind. Yu Ke half-squinted his eyes and realized a certain possibility. He turned around and grabbed the hook to climb up. He stepped on several bulges on the rock wall and tried to return to the ground.
However, at the same time that he was launching a self-rescue operation, the noise caused by his continuous footsteps attracted the attention of the vines.
In an instant, in the center of the net bag, the overlapping vine roots suddenly spread out everywhere, revealing two dark green vertical pupils, followed by a large number of macrophage vines as if they had been given some kind of activity.
The black and red flesh and blood energy accumulated from last night's hunting gathered from all directions, like blood meridians, spreading around the vertical pupil.
A ferocious lizard-like beast's head bulged.
It's not hidden under the net bag, it's these giant vines and tree roots themselves!
Dark green vines and dark gray roots are entangled and woven into the head, neck and even the bloated torso of this ferocious beast. These originally unrelated plants now seem to come from the same origin and merge into this beast in a very fitting manner. Special monsters that have never been seen before.
'Sure enough, I should have thought of it a long time ago.'
Yu Ke didn't feel surprised when he saw this scene. In fact, he had already made some assumptions just now.
Whether it is the macrophage vine or the two previously captured specimens, they all appear to be plants and animals, so the guys hiding under the vine forest are naturally of the same type.
It may be that the flesh and blood energy obtained from hunting has not yet met its needs for complete formation. At this time, what appeared in front of Yu Ke's eyes was only half of the monster, and its size was close to that of a heavy truck.
Its appearance is quite similar to a giant dragon in Western fantasy stories, but it is completely made of plants. The gradually formed skin surface is covered with thorns and some wriggling vines, and eventually turns into dark green scales. .
With two sharp claws on the net bag, this veritable vine, or dragon of thorns, stared at Yu Ke who was climbing towards the surface, and suddenly opened its mouth and roared, and dozens of thick and long giant vines rushed from behind it He came out and attacked Yu Ke, who was about to escape from danger, trying to drag him back into the pit.
The previous explosion woke it up from its slumber, and the macrophage vine forest that had spent a lot of effort to breed was destroyed in the blink of an eye.
The anger needs to be vented, but what appears in front of it is just a small human being.
Turning over in the air and landing on the ground, Yu Ke turned around and faced the many giant vines that were already approaching. He started with the Leviathan Ax, checked for omissions and added computational analysis. Two characteristics that improved his perception were activated at this moment.
The transformed body was used in actual combat for the first time, and the violent power was released through the Leviathan Ax.
Standing at the edge of the pit, Yu Ke didn't take a step back. He waved his battle ax and blew up a storm in front of him. Any vines that came close were immediately crushed and couldn't get close to him.
After clearing away the incoming mammoth vines, Yu Ke looked down at the Dragon of Thorns in the pit and raised the Leviathan Ax to point at it from a distance. No need for any extra words, the provocation was obvious.
At the same time, Yu Ke contacted the Forest Defense Bureau and asked them to check the situation here through satellite, and dispatched fighter planes as quickly as possible to help him surround and kill the monster.
The vine offensive was defeated, and the Dragon of Thorns became furious and roared as it pushed forward.
Its body was only half condensed, but this did not mean that it could only be a fort fixed in place. Seeing Yu Ke standing on a high place and taunting him, a large number of vines suddenly grew on his back as he roared, and then began to grow in a short time. Transformed into a vine wing in just a few dozen seconds.
When the black and red flesh and blood energy flooded over, the seemingly rough vine wings seemed to be given life. They suddenly flapped their wings, dragging the upper body into a monster, and the lower body like an octopus, full of vine roots. Rising from the sky.
Is this fucking okay?
Yu Ke watched as the strange-looking Dragon of Thorns rushed out of the abyss, circled twice in mid-air and then rushed towards his position, with the vines on its back half swaying in the wind.
Continuous bombings from aerial bombs flattened this area to the ground. Not even the giant trees for hiding were visible, not even the low shrubs could be seen.
Yu Ke raised his hand to unbutton his bearskin coat and threw it aside, revealing the lightweight combat uniform underneath.
Since there is no way to avoid it, let’s face the attack head-on!
Although the Dragon of Thorns is much larger than Yu Ke, the outcome of the battle is not simply a matter of size.
He jumped sideways to avoid the impact of the Dragon of Thorns when it landed, and immediately used the Leviathan Ax to get close and slash at the oncoming dragon's claws.
The light cyan wind attribute energy spread over the ax blade, and soon received the blessing of the characteristics obtained by recasting the Leviathan Ax. It burst out with a fierce whirlwind, and combined with Yu Ke's power to slash it down, easily cutting off the claws.
This is the power of extraordinary weapons. If it were replaced by the previous battle ax, I might only see a series of sparks now.
Yu Ke took advantage of the situation and rushed forward, coming to the side of the Dragon of Thorns. His battle ax cut open the scales on his shoulder with a cold light.
It's just that for ordinary ferocious beasts, this injury is enough to be considered a serious injury, but the effect is greatly reduced when applied to the Dragon of Thorns. In a furious state, it seems not to care about Yu Ke's offensive, but just attacks frantically on its own.
After the claws were cut off, he opened his mouth to bite. When the scales were broken, vines came out from inside and rushed to Yu Ke's limbs, trying to bind his body. There were many giant gnawing vines in the back half of the body that had not yet transformed into a body. It even enveloped Yu Ke.
Relying on the agility bonus of golden quality, coupled with the perceptual prediction of computational analysis, Yu Ke's attacks were often successful, but even so, the balance of victory never tilted in his favor.
Roaring sounds filled his ears, and his field of vision was filled with swaying vines.
No matter how many obstructing vine roots he chopped, new ones would come up the next second.
Not only that, Yu Ke noticed that the injuries he caused to the Dragon of Thorns would soon be healed, and even the previously severed claws would unknowingly return to their original shape.
Obviously, it is unrealistic to kill this ferocious beast by pure physical means. Some special means must be used!
Realizing this, Yu Ke leaned close to him again, and the battle ax cut off the sharp claws again.
Just as the Dragon of Thorns was about to turn around and fight back, its figure suddenly froze, and a mysterious mark appeared on the wound.
Seal of hunting!
