Chapter 2 Prologue: The Poisonous Dragon of the Swamp
Chapter 2 Prologue: The Poisonous Dragon of the Swamp
Poison Dragon Swamp——
This land of death is filled with poisonous miasma, buzzing mosquitoes and swamp mushrooms that emit poisonous gas. Swamp crabs roam between the pools with their claws and fangs bared, looking for prey. There are also huge predatory worms that appear and disappear out of nowhere, dragging any creature that approaches into the mud and devouring it.
Not to mention the legendary terrifying poisonous dragon, Molin, lurking deep in the swamp.
This place is almost a restricted area for humans, and very few people dare to set foot here.
However, at this moment, a pioneering team of nearly a hundred people is moving towards the depths of the swamp.
The entire team has now dispersed into groups, forming a huge arc-shaped search area.
The leader of this team, Zhao Qingyun, stood in the center of the team, commanding his men around him.
"One group, move a little to the right, spread out a little, and expand the search area."
"Group three, you're too far forward."
"Team Four, deal with that mud crab over there quickly. Don't let it destroy our formation."
"Everyone, brace yourself. We are here to slay the dragon. When the battle begins, all of you must obey my orders. Anyone who dares to disobey orders, hehe - you all know the consequences."
Zhao Qingyun glanced around at the swamp filled with mist and still could not see any trace of the poisonous dragon. He couldn't help feeling a little anxious, but the dangerous terrain still made him extremely alert.
After activating the magic of speed, the muddy ground under his feet did not affect his speed. However, he couldn't help but frown when he saw his men around him staggering in the mud.
The swamp terrain will greatly reduce the player's movement speed, and positioning and running will be affected. This kind of horrible terrain is really not suitable for BOSS battles.
However, the Evil Swamp Poison Dragon is the only evil dragon that the Azure Dragon Society has tracked down so far. If they want to slay the dragon and establish a country, they have to start with it.
Now several guilds in the game are trying to establish a country, and Qinglong Guild cannot fall behind.
Finally arrived at the center of the swamp.
"Send out the bait." He said to his men beside him.
Several trumpeters on horseback were immediately sent out. They ran around in front of the team and made a lot of noise in the mud, while the others cheered up and prepared for battle.
Suddenly, there was a surge of mud and water in the distant quagmire, and some huge creature was approaching quickly under the water.
"Here they come!" shouted an alert hunter.
Everyone stared at the direction of the surge, and a horse-riding trumpet was quickly caught up -
Boom! A black dragon about thirty or forty meters long soared into the sky, bit the knight on the horse, and swallowed him and his horse alive.
In a flash, Zhao Qingyun had clearly seen the monster's name.
Poisonous Swamp Dragon: Level 62.
Zhao Qingyun frowned. It wasn't a poisonous dragon, but a poisonous dragon? What a weird thing...
Although there is only one letter difference, the strength of Jiao and Long is very different. The dragon head is a task item for the founding mission. In order to build a country, you must kill an evil dragon and take its head to prove the strength of the guild... and the poisonous Jiao is just an ordinary elite wild monster.
What is the intelligence team for? They can get something like this wrong?
Although the information was wrong, it was still an elite monster and could drop good things. Moreover, the poisonous dragon was a monster and would not let them go just because they had made a mistake.
"Let's fight!" Zhao Qingyun said, gritting his teeth.
A dense rain of arrows was immediately shot over. Considering the difficulty of moving in the swamp area, sixty or seventy of the nearly one hundred people this time carried bows and crossbows, all equipped with cold iron arrows that could penetrate even the scales of a dragon.
Dense rain of arrows hit the huge body of the black dragon, and instantly the black dragon was filled with arrow feathers. The black dragon roared in pain, and a breath of poisonous dragon gushed out. Green poisonous mist spread wantonly in the swamp, and players were poisoned wherever the poisonous gas covered.
"Taoists, please disperse!" Zhao Qingyun ordered immediately.
"Got it!" The voice of a teammate immediately sounded beside him.
Although they brought nearly a hundred people to open up the new land this time, the only ones who could be considered the core members of the Qinglong Society were the three or five magic professionals around Zhao Qingyun.
In the game "Old Land", magic professions are very rare. One can only change professions through certain adventures or by completing extremely difficult hidden tasks. Ordinary players cannot access them at all and can only play physical professions such as swordsman, swordsman, generals, and monks.
As the saying goes, those with blue bars are the bosses. Magic professions often possess powerful powers that ordinary professions simply do not have.
At this moment, facing the invasion of poisonous fog, it immediately showed its strength.
"Four Symbols, Five Elements, Six Directions and Strong Winds, Wind Master and Rain Lady, listen to my command, summon the strong wind - hurry and obey the order!" The Taoist priest performed the ritual.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew up from the flat ground, quickly dispersing the poisonous fog that was covering the team.
The poisonous dragon was intelligent, and it locked onto the Taoist priest casting the spell at a glance. It roared and pounced on him suddenly. Its huge body brought a terrifying sense of oppression, and players avoided it wherever it passed.
A general tried to stop it by force, but was knocked away. He was as vulnerable as a goat colliding with a truck. He fell into the mud and was dragged into the depths of the swamp by a huge worm that suddenly emerged from the side.
Zhao Qingyun was not panicked. To deal with monsters of this level, he naturally prepared professional tanks.
"God will catch the monster!" Zhao Qingyun ordered again.
A heavily armored general immediately stood in front of everyone. He was wearing golden Xuanguan armor and holding a偃月斩魔刀. He was obviously a high-end player.
Dharmakaya golden body! Tiangang fighting spirit!
God possessed!
In an instant, the triple BUFF was activated, and the general burst out with dazzling divine light. He was surrounded by storm-like air currents, and his body size suddenly increased several times, turning into a giant four or five meters tall.
The black dragon's attack was stopped abruptly.
Boom! The general took a few steps back and stabilized his body.
"Haha, die for me!" He swung the big knife in his hand, and with a move of 'Divine Weapon Binding Qi Slash', the divine power gathered into a half-moon-shaped energy force, which shattered the scales of the black dragon, splashing blood everywhere, and twisted its body to retreat.
There was a hint of pride on Zhao Qingyun's lips, and at the right moment a flattery came from the side.
"Tsk tsk tsk, awesome! No wonder Mr. Zhao thinks he can slay a dragon. He has trained a great general. He is so domineering!"
Zhao Qingyun knew without even looking that it was Liu Qiang. He had never liked this guy sent by the company. Even good words would change in taste when they came into his mouth. It was clearly praise, but it always sounded mean.
He ignored it and continued to give orders with a stern face.
"Ah meow, come on!"
"Got it!" A teammate wearing five-colored feather clothes suddenly let out an eagle's cry, and in an instant, feather wings grew all over his body, turning into a golden-winged roc with a wingspan of seven or eight meters.
Magic—Golden Peng transforms!
The golden roc soared into the sky, circled once and then swooped down towards the black dragon. The black dragon was so focused on fighting with the divine general that it was suddenly pounced on the face by the golden roc, which pecked its eyes blind and instantly lost half of its vision.
The general took the opportunity to use another big move, chopping the black dragon down into the mud and making it unable to get up for a long time.
"The kitchen knife team!"
Dozens of swordsmen, rangers, monks, and thieves who had been on high alert abandoned their bows and crossbows and rushed forward, each holding a weapon and rushing towards the black dragon, attacking it with swords, knives, fists, and feet.
The black dragon's damaged vision, coupled with the injuries on its body, made it completely unable to resist the fierce melee attacks. It could only twist its huge body in vain and spit out poisonous mist in all directions, but it was constantly dispersed by the Taoist priest.
The battle lasted for five minutes. After suffering a small number of casualties, the Black Dragon's blood volume was gradually exhausted.
Seeing that the BOSS battle was about to end successfully, Zhao Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay. Although he didn't get the dragon head, he still gained something.
Boom!
A thunder suddenly interrupted Zhao Qingyun's thoughts. He looked up and found that the sky had turned dark without him noticing. Thick dark clouds covered the sky, with a strange green color, and the air was filled with a suffocating atmosphere.
Zhao Qingyun felt goosebumps all over his body.
Something terrible is waking up.
The water level in the mud under my feet was rising rapidly and instantly reached above my knees.
The water waves flow, the next second!
Boom! A turbid wave swirled up into the sky, and above the wave, a huge black dragon about 70 to 80 meters long was circling and roaring angrily. Lightning flashed in the sky behind the black dragon, reflecting the dark dragon scales, which shone as if they had merged with the sky.
Mo Lin (Water Dragon): Level 96!
Shit! There really is a dragon! And it’s a divine dragon!
Zhao Qingyun was not happy but surprised. He did not expect the power of the real dragon to be so amazing. The terrifying aura that carried the power of heaven and earth made him completely lose the will to fight after just one opening. And it was as high as level 96.
"Boss, are you still going to fight?" the Taoist priest at the side asked in horror.
"What the hell, take us away now!"
Before he finished his words, poisonous rain began to fall all over the sky.
This time, there was no way to dispel it.
All of Zhao Qingyun's men were poisoned. Some took out detoxification pills and ate them frantically, while others replenished their blood while fleeing to the outskirts of the battlefield.
Others rushed towards the black dragon regardless of their lives, wanting to fight to the death.
At this time, the Taoist priest hurriedly chanted spells.
"Six Dings and Six Jias, listen to my command. The Heavenly Master can escape without a trace for thousands of miles. The Divine Traveling Formation - hurry up and obey the command!"
A huge white magic circle emerged under their feet, encircling Zhao Qingyun and several core members.
"Everyone retreat, quickly enter the magic circle!" Zhao Qingyun shouted, and the players who were nearby immediately rushed towards the magic circle, fearing that they would be a step late.
Liu Qiang stood beside Zhao Qingyun at the first moment. Players kept retreating into the formation, but the poisonous dragon soon noticed the existence of the formation.
With a dragon roar, huge waves under the body surged towards the magic circle like a tsunami.
"go!"
"But there are still many people who haven't come in yet!"
Zhao Qingyun snorted coldly, "Just cannon fodder, never mind!"
Whoosh, with a flash of white light, everyone in the magic circle disappeared instantly, leaving only those ordinary members who had not yet recovered, struggling and screaming in the poisonous rain, and being slaughtered by the poisonous dragon in the waves.
