"The monster was penetrated by the thunder of the archpriest, and most of the remaining body was melted fragments, mixed with sticky and soil, and it was really impossible to fish out." A priest who looked very pitiful with red and black stains said: "But Mr. Feich's prediction is correct, and there is indeed a passage below. I took a look at it and found that the four walls of the passage were glued to some kind of glue, which looked very stable and accessible."
"I personally tend to wait for the dragon." Feiqi sat down, holding a "crab leg" in his hand and then knocked it on it. "I changed my mind. Going in through the hole is seeking death, so you better not go in either."
"Why do you say that?"
"This monster is mainly responsible for digging holes. Look at how long this leg is..." Feiqi broke the crab legs apart, and there was a delicious white and fragrant meat inside. He swallowed his saliva and threw the crab legs to McIntosh: "Although it is roasted, I can break the shell with my hands. How resistant can it be to the Paladin's sword? Have you ever seen sword marks on the corpse? I didn't find it from the shell that was thrown up. So, there is something else that is very likely to kill the Paladins."
"What kind of thing would it be? Why not go up the hole and kill us?"
"How can I guess this? Maybe that thing cannot see the sun, maybe it is afraid of another lightning strike, or maybe it has received a certain order to retreat." Feiqi shrugged: "When the dragon comes, let it dig out all the ground, won't it know?"
"Then what are we doing now? Just wait for the dragon?"
"In addition to paying attention to whether there are people in and out of the manor..." Feiqi made a meditative look and said after a while: "Yes, just wait for the dragon."
The aroma of the meat crab pot radiates around makes people feel hungry. It would be a torture if they don't eat something at this time. Feige found a flat stone protruding from the ground and sat down. Shani took out the bread and ham wrapped in the dining cloth, and Benni took out a pot of ale. Under the priests' stunned gaze, Feige used his mind to move the objects and pick some grapes from the field and put them on the dining cloth. "With the fruit embellishment, the quality of this meal has improved suddenly."
"If I were you, I wouldn't have eaten grapes for making wine. They are sour, especially sour."
"It's okay, I won't eat more." Feiqi picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, and just bit it and wrapped it gently, swallowing it quickly, and then stuffed a bit of bread into his mouth. "Sotheli can boost appetite, that's enough."
"Oh my God, you are the strangest person I have ever seen!" Archbishop McIntosh sighed, first letting his apprentice pastors continue to look for the alert, then sat down and ordered a piece of bread from Feich: "Tell me, what is the meaning of doing this?"
"No, it's purely nothing to do. I haven't seen dragons in my life, but I heard that they are very powerful, so now it's a feeling of watching the show. No matter what, the person on the other side has no way to deal with you for the time being, at least at this distance and at this position, they can only stand stalemate. Since dragons can definitely break the stalemate, why am I impatient to wait?" Feiqi glanced at the Archbishop in confusion: "Why, do I give you the feeling of a person full of conspiracy?"
"People who have seen you perform at the martial arts competition will feel this way. It's strange that the Hall family has not been like your style in history, especially during battles."
"What's that style?" Fitch tasted fresh bread and ham with the aroma of the wind, and swallowed it with ale. This is the best portable and adventure food in the wild. "I learned the kind of family management. Leading troops to fight is Andrew's education, so you have to tell me."
"It's all the orthodox playing style that sets up a formation, strikes steadily, breaks through suddenly, and quickly crushes it."
"Oh, I understand. I actually like this style too. If you have the conditions at home, I will definitely choose to do this first." Feiqi put down his bag, picked up a stone from the ground, waved his arm and threw it out, and sighed: "Oh, this is all because there is no conditions!"
The stone flew out far away, hit the pole that fixed the vines and bounced up, then fell into the green leaves, making a rustling sound.
Feich waited for a while before continuing, "Architect, I've always been curious about this question: How did you convince the Three Dragons to be partners and let them help defend the Three Castles?"
"In fact, it was not what I convinced, but what the goddess persuaded. I am just a medium for the transmission of her great voice." McIntosh thought for a while and added: "In addition to the sound, I did enter the dragon's den with my devotional faith and powerful magic, and then I had the opportunity to talk to the three dragons."
"What did you say to them?"
"I hope they don't destroy crops and don't take away the cattle and sheep from the village. The rest of the conversation is that the goddess takes over, and I don't remember the specific content. I've been trying to recall it for so many years. If I could remember, maybe I could convince a few more dragons to serve the church."
"Does there be many dragons?" Feiqi asked strangely: "How do you listen to your meaning? As long as you have this idea, you can find the dragon?"
"When the Sunset Mountains were heading west, the patrol once saw two red dragons flying in the mountains. They could not reach such a remote place with their legs. The rugged terrain and barren hillsides could kill people. However, riding a dragon, those distances were nothing."
"I was moved by what you said." Feiqi picked up the stone and threw it in the other direction, just like a child who wanted to lose his temper destroying the flowers and plants. The stone broke several vines, and the sour green fruits fell into paste on the ground.
"What are you doing? Stop smashing it, it's a pity."
"If you eat, you'll be fine." Feiqi swallowed the last piece of bread ham, then grabbed a handful of gravel and threw it forward. Suddenly, he pulled up the staff inserted on the ground, and a small fireball as big as a fist flew out.
"What's going on?" Archbishop McIntosh was stunned for a moment, and suddenly saw a crossbow arrow shot towards him from the grape field. The black arrow tip was dull, but it had a hideous and terrifying momentum. He found that he didn't know how to act, so he stared at the crossbow arrow but couldn't avoid it. Fortunately, the alert apprentice responded and used the holy emblem to release a small lightning and knocked off the crossbow arrow.
Feich's small fireball flew more than forty meters, drew a small parabola, rushed into the field, and then exploded a ball of fire. The flames were very powerful, but they just lit the dead leaves on the ground, and even the vines could not be destroyed. However, everyone could see clearly that the small fireball flew to a position, first disappeared, and then the flames expanded out of nowhere. "Illusion Barrier!" A priest raised the holy emblem, and the complex spell continued to drive the sacred power. Then, a ball of shiny dust appeared out of thin air where the fireball had just exploded, covering everything in the range. So, the things hidden by the Illusion showed out of contour.
It was a man in a cloak, aiming at him with a crossbow in his hand. "Article, be careful!" Several priests stood in front of Mackintosh, and only Fitch hooked his finger at the man.
"Come on, I'm waiting. But if you want to cum, you won't have time to run away."
The man threw the crossbow bow and suddenly became shorter and fell to the ground. The lightning summoned by the Archbishop slashed, but he only exploded the crossbow bow, but this time he failed to hit the enemy.
"What a pity, it's true." Feiqi patted the gray on his hand, and then said, "Why look at me with a strange look? What's going on? Can't you think about it yourself? Don't ask."
"I'm too lazy to think about it, hurry up!" McIntosh slapped: "There are other things to say together, don't always hide it. Such behavior is very uncomfortable!"
"It's very simple. The crab-shell monster first ambushed the Paladin outside the manor, and then dug all the way from the ground. How does it know where to dig? How to determine the direction and distance, and how to cooperate with the crow illusion in the sky? Obviously, there must be a commander. Dig up the tunnel, drill out somewhere, and secretly observe and command the battle - if I were the one who wanted to defend the manor, I would definitely choose this."
"The crow is an illusion, but it is not the only illusion, so I want to find out whether I can see through it. I have been talking and chatting with you, and it is also to arouse the interest of the person on the other side and make it close to eavesdropping. In this way..." Feiqi spread his hands: "In fact, it's just that, there is nothing profound. The only thing left is that after the dragon comes, don't let it land on the ground, and keep attacking in the air, at least breaking the manor into flat ground before talking."
McIntosh sighed, then turned around and said to his student: "Don't be standing there! I don't know if there is such an authenticity! What should I do just now, Fitch has already set an example, I don't need to say more, right?"
A group of priests responded in unison, and then they threw stones and scattered sand to see if there were any barriers created by illusions around. Two of them walked carefully to the field and came to the place where the man had just disappeared to check.
A dark tunnel opening was not sure where it would be connected. Before, don't drill a large hole, so the same is true for this small hole. The crossbow bow that the man threw looked very delicate, so he was picked up. Feiqi shook his head and showed his heavy monster hunter crossbow, saying that he didn't need it. So McIntosh waved his hand and asked the priest to use it - and took away several of Feiqi's crossbow arrows.
The priest of the Holy Word, even if he knew he was going to carry out a pursuit mission, was still far from the equipment he could carry. Feiqi always believed that being as prepared as possible was a necessary condition for victory. Shani and Benny often took risks outside, and there was no need to remind him of this, but the priests of the priest were completely different. Although the lightning magic is accurate, ruthless and fast, it is never a bad thing to have a mace, a shield, and a light self-defense crossbow in his hands.
However, there was no need for Feige to wake them up. After all, these people were not their apprentices, but Archbishop McIntosh. He sat quietly aside, seized the time to recover and prepare for the dragon that was about to arrive.
Finally, the dragon is here.
When the huge body swooped down from the clouds, the sun shone brightly on its blue scales; the fierce momentum was undoubtedly revealed through its teeth, claws and strong tail, and the eyes said "unstoppable". It was an adult pure-blooded blue dragon, and its body contained the power of thunder.
The blue dragon flapped its wings, and the strong wind swept over, and sand swelled until it landed in front of Macintosh. The blue dragon used this action to express the meaning of "I'm here, say what if you have something to do", and its hard neck and high head showed the unique dignity of the dragon clan.
Archbishop McIntosh wiped his face, then walked up to touch the blue dragon's belly. He would not look up at the dragon and talk. Anyway, the dragon has a very strong hearing, so he would not be unable to hear it even when he talked to the belly.
"There are enemies underground, and the people we are going to capture are in that manor. The situation is unclear now, and a whole team of Judgment Paladins of Sacred Heart have been killed and they have not even been able to enter the yard. Be careful, the enemy can do illusions and tame monsters."
"Monster? Are you talking about something fragrant in the pit?"
"Do you know what this is?" Feiqi asked.
"I don't know. I lived in the boring cave of Holy Trinity Castle for a long time. I have never seen such things, but they should be delicious." Lan Long leaned down, chewed it from the cave, and chewed it. It did not continue to evaluate or take a second bite, but flew directly to the sky.
"Just just attack in the sky, don't land!" Feiqi saw that McIntosh forgot to say, so he hurriedly shouted.
In fact, there is no need for Feiqi to command. The dragon is not a fool. It first glided away from McIntosh, then flapped its wings and suddenly accelerated, and rushed through the vineyard and manor in a low altitude. The dragon flapped its wings and rolled up vortex behind it, like two flat tornadoes. The grapes, vines, racks and straw bricks were all sucked up, stirred up, threw them up, and smashed down. The dragon swept past, and there was a mess behind it.
After flying over the manor, the dragon waved its wings down and rose vertically. It gathered its wings and spread it suddenly when its speed was about to drop to the lowest point, turning over and piercing it. It opened its huge mouth, and the already brewing thunder gushed out of its chest, hitting the tallest mansion in the manor.
It was a three-story wooden and stone mixed building with more than twenty rooms. Six chimneys (fireplace and kitchen) represented a comfort and secret luxury. In just a blink of an eye, the thunder shattered the roof and continued downwards, destroying tables, chairs, beds and floors along the way, then the next, and the next, and the underground. Feich widened his eyes and felt that he saw the effect of a ground-boring bomb, especially the wine stored in the cellar. The food was instantly evaporated and caused an explosion, which caused a shocking feeling when half of the house was lifted into the air.
The blue dragon did not change the direction of movement, but shrank his shoulders slightly, and then crashed into the broken pieces of the house that was blown away. There was a jingle sound, and the pieces hit the scales in vain and turned back to the ground. The blue dragon turned its head and an arc passed by, and the thunder cut the entire house from the middle.
"It's so scary. If it's a person in the thunder, he might have turned into ashes, right?"
"The lucky ones who turn to ashes are, and those who fail to die on the spot are painful." Mackintosh said: "The energy emitted by the dragon, whether it is flame, acid poison, ice or thunder, is not the kind we are in our daily life. It also contains the power of the dragon's magic curse - I have to say that that kind of power is very vicious and extremely difficult to remove. Generally speaking, only the bishop of the Holy Word or the archbishop of other sects have enough medical experience to deal with this kind of wound. But once the dragon attacks the town, there will be enough healers to deal with it? Even if I try my best, I can only deal with about ten wounded people. What should I do if I can only wail and wait for death."
"Then... I didn't find how to deal with dragons in Monster Hunter's book, what's going on?"
McIntosh waved his hand: "Troubleshooting dragons? Monster hunters act alone, how to deal with dragons? Only a well-trained army, in favorable terrain, can be dealt with by smart commanders and brave and fearless warriors, and with the protection and strengthening of magical techniques, can one fight against a dragon. Of course, it must also be the case when the dragon decides to die."
While they were talking, the blue dragon had already flew away and turned back, launching a second wave of attacks. This time, the inn, stable, barn or warehouse were in trouble, and they became some sort of collection of fragments that would not be larger than the millstone, or a ruin.
"Come out! I heard you! Do you think you can hide it?" The blue dragon flew around the ruins twice, lightning wandering among its scales, and then gathered to its throat. "Do you think I'm lying to you? Is fooling!"
It hovered in the air, shook its head downwards, and a flash of thunder thunder slammed down. The start and end of this attack were very fast, faster than a flash of time, making it difficult to confirm whether it had happened. However, just move the perspective a little and look at the sudden deep holes on the ground, you will know that what you just did not feel was an illusion.
"Did you use other methods to compress energy using speed?" Feiqi kept watching all the dragon's movements with his entire field of vision, and at the same time he did not forget to use the teasing cat stick to secretly take pictures. Although the teasing cat stick always had a "o((⊙﹏⊙))o.--Scared" expression, this did not affect his work.
"Remember, these are all future research materials." Feiqi was still thinking about the movement of the Blue Dragon just now, which seemed to be a very powerful way to use energy. "It must have been a skill. If that blow is on the dragon, it may explode a hole, and it is definitely not something that can be withstoled by the throat muscles and the endothelium."
He blinked, approached Archbishop McIntosh and said, "Sir, what do you like about this blue dragon that can make me stutter with it?"
"What do you want to do?"
"I want to ask how it can use Thunder so well..."
"It likes to sleep. If you think you have a solution, then you can do it yourself." McIntosh smiled and shook his head, persuading: "Feich, as long as you keep arrogance and impatient, slowly practice magic, with your intelligence, I believe that the power of your use of thunder will definitely exceed that of the Blue Dragon. So...oh! What the hell is that?"
Following the direction of the Archbishop's finger, a black cloud emerged from the ground. In an instant, the sky was filled with buzzing sounds, like thousands of bees roaring. Feich had the best vision among non-dragon creatures present, "the body looked like an ant, but had blue and yellow horizontal lines, and the mosquito-like mouth and mantis-like forelimbs."
"Abyss Killer Ant Cluster, the church discovered this monster ten years ago. It had been destroyed at that time, why...?" McIntosh frowned and stomped his feet hatefully: "Yes, Qitanna followed the Demon Retired Man at that time. She must have found a way to keep a part of it and then cultivate it. If this lunatic is released and flooded, it will cause a great disaster!"
"Abyss creatures, that's from other worlds, is it a kind of demon?" Feiqi pretended to know nothing about this knowledge and asked quickly: "Is this creature powerful? What are its weaknesses?"
"Swords have almost no effect on them, and their attacks are everywhere and difficult to defend against. The previous team must have been killed by this creature, and no matter how good the armor is, it cannot stop them from looking for the cracks and biting." McIntosh said, gritted his teeth: "It's just that this creature is afraid of the sun, and it will not find the target under the sun. Only seven or eight of them can mutate and gain the ability to resist the sun. Look, see how much this is! How much food has she fed in the past ten years?"
"If she had done this kind of thing ten years ago and had been feeding the demon flying ants, why could she still be in the church? Hasn't her magic taken away?"
"I don't know. Only by catching her can you understand!" McIntosh clenched his fists: "This kind of scum of the sect is shameful, shameful!"
The ant colony rushed towards the blue dragon, and the blue dragon let them surround themselves. Then, before the ants began to try to find the gaps in the dragon scales, the blue dragon came to lightning on itself. In an instant, all the demon flying ants turned into ashes. The blue dragon shook its body and flew out of the gray fog, with blue light shining and refreshing.
"I suddenly thought of a question. What if those ants pounce on us?" Feige looked at McIntosh and made a worried expression.
"Ten years ago, this creature caused great casualties, but at that time, it also found a way to deal with them." McIntosh's fingers turned around in the air and said, "First use the divine shield to protect himself, then change the state of the shield, and summon thunder to hit it. The goddess's thunder strengthens the goddess' shield, and at the same time eliminates ants. Most formal priests have this ability, at least they can deal with a certain number of enemies without being at a disadvantage. Look, the dragon has begun to fight back."
The blue dragon flew around the ant colony and repeated the work of washing the ground with lightning. After a while, a fire lit up underground, and the flames rose from the entrance of the cave that the thunder pierced, and a red beam of light went straight into the sky. Obviously, the devil's desperate attack of the ants still failed, and the underground - whether it was the ant colony or the ant nest - was completely destroyed.
The blue dragon is still circled over the house, closing its mouth quietly. It is listening, it is searching, it has patience, ability and wisdom...
