Chapter 457: Battle with Monsters (2)
Lido instantly summoned Fumei and Liya, and asked them to stare at the back of the city wall together with the summoners and elves on night watch. She stared at the ground in front of the city wall alone, while shouting loudly to wake up the summoners who were still sleeping.
In fact, everyone was quite vigilant. Except for those who had suffered from the backlash of the contract before, most of the summoners woke up when the noise underground became louder and louder. Only a few were awakened by Lido's shouting.
The awakened summoners quickly summoned the elves to take their positions, ready to deal with the impending crisis, and watched the ratio of personnel on the ground in front and behind the city wall was three to seven.
At this time, the ground was shaking more and more violently. Suddenly, the ground cracked and huge dark holes appeared in front of everyone.
As soon as everyone started to guess what was in the cave, the answer appeared in front of everyone.
One by one, large monsters covered in black scales slowly crawled out of the cave. They radiated a cold light all over their bodies, and their eyes were filled with bloodthirsty ferocity. They stretched out their snake-like tongues, probed the air for a while, and then came towards the city wall.
They were not fast, so the summoners launched the attack first. All kinds of brilliant magic lights flashed intertwined, and a wave of attacks swept over the monsters like a flood.
This wave of attacks was just a test, but what no one expected was that this wave of attacks did not cause any substantial damage to these monsters. When the dust caused by the attacks dissipated, only black spheres spinning in place were left there.
The monsters gathered together into a ball with only their black scales left outside to defend against the attacks of the elves. It was obvious that the defense of the black scales was even better than that of the demon snake. After forming a ball, the weaknesses of their bodies were hidden, and when they rotated, they could even bounce away some attacks. The attacks of the elves did not cause them any injuries at all!
Unlike others, Lido has already figured out what this monster is. It is a monster that is a combination of a pangolin and a dinosaur, called a burrowing dragon. It has a wide body, a long tail, and a long neck, but short legs, so it can't crawl very fast. However, they are good at digging holes in the ground.
Yes, there are monsters flying in the sky and crawling on the ground, so it makes sense that there wouldn’t be some that dig holes underground, but they are relatively rare.
Lido has never seen a monster swimming in the water, but she believes that it must exist, it’s just that the environment in which it was born is more special.
There aren't many descriptions of the burrowing dragon in the mainland monster atlas. Apparently, not much information was known when it was compiled. Apart from the description of its appearance, it only mentions that it is good at digging holes and defense. These two points have been seen by everyone. It seems that other things, such as attack methods, need to be explored by everyone themselves.
The energy levels of these burrowing dragons are all good. At least the ones that appear in front of everyone now are intermediate monsters, which should be the most powerful ones in the tribe.
The attacks of the elves are completely useless. OK! It's time for the Wind Style Rasengan to appear again!
However, before Lido could take any action, the burrowing dragons curled up in a ball on the ground moved. They did not stretch their bodies, but instead kept their ball-like posture and rolled quickly towards the city wall.
Wow! Compared to the slow movement of crawling with short legs, rolling is indeed more than ten times faster, and there is no need to worry about the reduction of defense. It seems that the burrowing dragons also know how to use their advantages.
It is certainly not possible to move long distances by rolling, as it is easy to get lost. Maintaining a spherical rolling for a long time puts a lot of pressure on the body, especially the internal organs. The outstanding defensive ability of the scales of the burrowing dragon does not mean that the internal organs can also withstand outstanding pressure. Therefore, it is definitely not possible to travel long distances by rolling, but it is possible to attack short distances.
Each of the burrowing dragons weighs several tons. They are rolling towards the city wall at such high speed, just like a fully loaded dump truck crashing into the city wall at the maximum speed limit. The temporary city wall is in danger!
Soon, the Drilling Dragon Meat Bomb Chariots crashed into the temporary city wall one after another. The roars rang in everyone's ears, and the city wall shook continuously.
Fortunately, the temporary city wall was a magical creation with extraordinary hardness. The human bomb chariot was a blunt attack after all, and the damage caused by each collision was not as great as the damage caused to the city wall by the wolf king's ghost fireball before. After bearing this wave of impact, the city wall only had many craters.
Moreover, the burrowing dragons' human bomb chariots attacked both sides of the city wall almost simultaneously, and the impact forces on both sides offset most of each other, which allowed the temporary city wall to remain standing.
If only one side was hit, the temporary city wall would have been knocked down long ago, and everyone would be in trouble. Thank God!
Fortunately, the burrowing dragons were simple-minded and did not think of this, so they just focused on attacking the city wall.
However, it is obviously not a good idea to pin everyone's safety on the monsters being stupid.
The impact force on both sides of the city wall in this wave of attacks was not much different, and the damage was not serious, but this was just one attack!
What about next time? Will the time difference and force comparison of the two sides' attacks be so coincidental?
The damage from one attack was not serious, but what about after multiple attacks? Can the wall still hold up?
Moreover, burrowing dragons are good at digging holes. What if they destroy the foundation of the city wall from underground? We must be on guard!
For the United Legion, city walls are essential when facing monsters!
Therefore, the best way is to prevent the burrowing dragons from having the opportunity to attack the city walls!
However, the attacks of the burrowing dragons are not limited to this.
After hitting the city wall, the Human Bomb Chariot was bounced back, no longer able to maintain its spherical shape, and its body stretched out and lay on the ground.
This was indeed a godsend opportunity for attack. However, when the Drone Meat Bomb Chariot crashed into the city wall just now, the summoners on the wall were also thrown to the ground. Only a very few summoners adjusted in time to command the elves to launch the attack.
However, even if it does not form a ball, the defensive capabilities of the Drill Dragon cannot be underestimated. These sporadic attacks are completely useless!
The attacks of the elves had no effect on the Drills, but they recovered soon after lying on the ground. It seems that they have a strong ability to resist being stunned!
After the mole dragons recovered, a dark light appeared on their two front paws. Yes, although it is normal not to be able to see black in the dark, just like black people can only see teeth in the dark, but everyone saw the light on the mole dragons' claws, and their senses told themselves that it was black!
Apparently, that was the light of magic!
Could it be that the claws of the mole dragons were darker? The doubt flashed through everyone's mind, but soon everyone's attention was caught by the next action of the mole dragons!
