Chapter 194: There are wolves in front and tigers in the back
"No, no, this is impossible...how could it be...how could it be...how could it be..."
Xiri, with gray hair and a pretty face, her emerald green pupils suddenly contracted. She stared blankly at the frost dragon in the sky, feeling like she was falling into an ice cellar, and her whole body was chilling.
How could it be...how could it be?
How is that possible? At this time of time, has the evil lich already created such a top undead unit?
It was really not right! Looking at the hellish scene in front of her, not only was her mind full of chaos, but she even felt a deep sense of despair and powerlessness in her heart.
It was faintly vague that she probably guessed a terrible possibility.
"……Do not move."
Geralt subconsciously stretched out his arm to protect his daughter behind him. His body was involuntarily tensed, and the deep words could hardly be heard clearly, as if they were a few faint syllables squeezed out from the gaps of his teeth.
He stared at the giant dragon in the sky, which was emitting cold power and exuded an extremely cold aura—
The surface of this head was covered with white frost, as if it was a lifeless corpse. It was like a huge creature that had been dead for a long time but could move. It was suspended in the sky, thrusting its huge wings one after another, rolling up the cold wind, snow and cold currents.
The huge and fierce eyes blooming with blue light were already locked on the two small and pitiful humans below.
Even a powerful witch hunter who has lived for more than a hundred years and has experienced countless battles with different monsters and non-human races, he inevitably feels his mind is blank at this moment, he can hardly think, and he feels like a disaster is coming.
The only thing he could do was hope that the dragon's target was not actually them, so he could only make himself and Xili try not to have any intense movements or behaviors, otherwise, it would only stimulate such top predators to issue fatal attacks faster.
It's not a joke. When facing a dragon, the best strategy is to pray to all gods. It's best for atheists to escape first, so that they may be able to live a few more heartbeats.
No matter which decision a layman makes, he will be dead... Even Geralt has never hunted a real giant dragon in his more than 100-year-old career as a demon hunter, only sub-dragon species such as dragon lizards, tail-cut dragons and bird dragons.
Moreover, this giant dragon is obviously not the type of green dragon that is said to be the smallest, and is only similar to a cow and horse. This giant dragon is a real giant dragon with a terrifying length of almost twenty meters!
——How can you beat this?!
Not to mention that he is just a witch hunter here, even if a whole well-trained army faces this giant, he will be unilaterally massacred!
Wait, Wild Hunting is behind...
The demon hunter suddenly had a look of his eyes. With the help of the keen hearing brought by the demon hunting sense, at this critical moment, he heard the sound of noise from the depths of the swamp woods behind him. With a flash of inspiration, he grabbed the key.
A thought of breaking the deadlock came into his mind.
"Be careful! Get down!"
The next moment, Cili's scream came in the howling wind, and Geralt, who had not yet reacted, was knocked to the ground by her.
A deafening roar made him look back, but he saw the dragon roaring and stretching out its giant claws and swooping towards the ground!
The cold cold current could almost freeze the human body directly. The breath of death made them almost smell a stinking of darkness, making them feel that they seemed to pass by a shadow like a black robe, amorphous god of death.
The posture is not elegant, and the movements cannot be particular. Both Geralt and Cialis are like this. The two of them rolled in a very embarrassed manner all over the swamp and the rotten grassroots leaves, all over their bodies and heads, but they don't care about these problems at all.
They were just conditioned reflexes, and they burst out their adrenaline in an almost instinctive reaction, and escaped from their position just now with the maximum speed and explosive power.
Rumble—!!
Both of them heard the sound of trees breaking and falling behind them, as well as a torrent of rapids, a cold wind, and the creepy roar of the behemoth.
It seems like a missed blow, it is venting its frustration and adding more anger value.
But neither of them chose to look back and observe. Everyone knew that this giant would definitely not give up his prey because he failed to hit an attack. He would definitely continue to launch a series of fatal attacks like storms.
It is a blessing to be able to avoid the first time. If you delay it a little later, it may be the end of death.
Perhaps it is just the skill of looking back and running forward without turning back. These two actions are enough to distinguish whether they are alive or dead... After all, you must know that dragons are very aggressive creatures. In addition to sharp teeth and claws, they can also spit out the iconic dragon flames.
——Of course, not all dragons spit fire, and some will spit out corrosive acids or high-temperature steam. And the absolutely abnormal dragon now should spit out cold, low-temperature frozen gas and so on.
Anyway, it must be a fatal attack method. I just got close to the dragon, and the cold aura made people almost freeze. If I faced the air conditioner that it vomited out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Run! Run back!"
The white-haired witch hunter grabbed Xili's arm, turned around and rushed back. He did not consider the possibility of escaping the road to meet Kaila on the outside of the island, but chose the direction where Xili escaped and ran towards the center of the island.
Because there is only one way, in the lush forest, you can still rely on the environment and trees to stop the crazy dragon's ability to move - as small humans, they can flexibly avoid it by just drilling into the forest.
Even if the giant dragon with a body length of nearly twenty meters rushes around in the dense forest, it will break countless trees, and its speed and agility are invisibly limited.
If they left the forest and ran to the outer area of the spacious and empty island without any cover, they would basically not be able to escape. The giant behemoth swept and breathed, and they would be cool.
...The literal meaning is "cold".
"Wait, wait! There is wild hunting ahead..."
Xili shouted anxiously. Faced with this bad situation where there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, she almost instinctively wanted to activate her abilities and escape from danger through time and space jumps.
But fortunately, she woke up in time and realized that this was not the past, and she could no longer come and go freely in this way.
Not only was she afraid of the "Navigator" that the wild hunter was nearby, but she was also because as the heir of "Ancient Blood", although she had the ability to travel through time and space, she could not control it accurately. Being able to return to this time period was already done with the abilities of people in the future.
If she had activated her abilities without authorization, she would not know what world she would go to, when, and whether she would have a chance to return to this time and space again.
"I know! I just want the wild hunter ahead!"
Geralt replied decisively, without hesitation at all, nor slowing down his pace.
However, Xili also understood that under such circumstances, it seems that only in this way can one die and live. This is an isolated island, surrounded by lakes, and they cannot fly.
Whether facing the frost dragon or the wild hunting, neither of them has the chance to win. The former will surely die, while the latter will die for a lifetime... But if they find a way to make the frost dragon face the wild hunting, then they will have the chance to survive in the cracks.
As soon as he thought of this, Xiri felt that a ray of inspiration in his mind split the fog like lightning.
Listening to the deafening roars coming from behind, as well as the sound of the entire forest being knocked open to a huge crack, countless trees breaking and collapsed, I felt the cold air like an avalanche and rumbling sound catching up from behind.
Xiri said decisively: "—Then I will be the bait!"
"Stop kidding! You..."
"Don't talk! You know, Wild Hunter needs me! Once I'm in danger before their eyes, they need to go up and fight the dragon behind them no matter what!"
Xili was very firm at this moment. She knew that this was the only way. She found that her logic was so clear and perfect.
After all, she is the only complete inheritor of the known "Ancient Blood" and is the last hope of the wild hunter - because their planet will be completely destroyed by Baishuang, and they will do whatever it takes to regain the "Ancient Blood"!
Although it seems that the Wild Hunter has been chasing her and threatening her personal safety, in fact, if she is about to be torn apart by the frost dragon behind her, the Wild Hunter must also come forward crazily to stop this from happening!
This is the biggest advantage she can take advantage of at the moment!
It is also the only chance that she and Geralt can survive in such a bad situation!
...
...
"Dragon...how can there be a dragon? Is the special thing on this island that there is a giant dragon?"
On a shallow on the outskirts of the island, Keira, who maintained the magic barrier to hide herself, was anxiously waiting for Geralt's return.
Knowing that Wild Hunter had already landed on the island, she almost wanted to use teleportation to leave this dangerous place immediately. However, not only did she not wait for Geralt's return, she even heard terrifying roars from afar.
If Keira was an inexperienced sorcerer, she would definitely be confused, but her level of occult mastery was enough to make her a court sorcerer and a king's consultant, so she could tell almost the first time what creature this roar belonged to.
——Dragon genus!
——This is definitely a high-level dragon! It is even likely to be an extremely rare and mysterious real dragon!
However, this judgment made her extremely shocked and unable to believe it. Why did even the dragon come to join in the fun after the wild hunting appeared? What was wrong with this world? Have you been involved in some super troublesome vortex?
Kaila had a pretty bad premonition and her scalp began to numb.
Wild hunting alone made her want to escape desperately, not to mention that there is an extra giant dragon now.
