Chapter 227: White Orchid Rain Festival (Part 9)
The change came somewhat suddenly.
Without any prompts or any task being triggered, an NPC suddenly became murderous.
When the boss turned around and pretended to get something, he suddenly turned around and transformed. A green light flashed, and several claw marks appeared on the counter where Beixi and Nanhuan were originally standing.
"Everyone, step back..."
When Bei Xi and Nan Huan retreated to the door, he did not forget to greet others.
Presidents Pink, Alice, and Barbie all reacted very quickly, probably because they had worked very well with the eldest lady and the first president, and they knew that something must have happened.
However, the reaction of the Workers' Guild President was a little slow. When Bei Xi threw out the first air arrow, the figure behind the counter had disappeared, and instead, a giant green glowing thing was circling in the air. The opponent immediately captured the position of the Workers' Guild President and pounced on him.
This position was somewhat ambiguous. For the safety of the Workers' Guild President, she did not shoot the air arrow again. Instead, she drew out the black iron hammer and stabbed it into the opponent's smooth scales.
With a clang sound.
The iron hammer hit the hard scales, making a loud noise and attracting the monster's attention. At the same time, President Alice used the Rabbit Hole skill to rescue the Worker President from the monster's hands.
The attack seemed to have no effect on it, and Bei Xi was a little surprised by this situation. After all, her iron axe had never encountered such a wall before, except for the time when it lost its effect when it encountered those tentacle monsters attached by black air in the copy.
Nan Huan did observe from close range that although the opponent had blocked the attack, the moment Bei Xi made a move, the scales on his body, as if sensing something, quickly stood up, and then quickly fell down in the blink of an eye.
"Oh my god," President Alice couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise after she had just put the Worker President on the ground. She looked at the animal with fangs and claws in front of her that had no human nature at all, "Is this... is this a dragon?"
After all, no matter how rich a person is, he has never seen this thing alive, so no one could answer her.
However, whether it was the horns on its head, or the head and body that fit perfectly with the mythology, or its ability to fly in the air, they all seemed to be no different from the 'dragon' they knew.
"Why don't you just stand there and watch? Help me."
President Barbie's two pairs of arms have turned into the shape of Iron Man. Seeing that the president's attack weapons are not very effective against the opponent, she has grabbed Alice's clothes and asked the opponent to use her skills to attack the "dragon" unexpectedly.
President Hongfen's skills are not very suitable for combat, so she can't be of much help for the time being.
Alice also knew that now was not the time to watch the fun, so she picked up President Barbie, used the Rabbit Hole, and then appeared from behind the dragon. President Barbie threw a right hook directly at the opponent's head.
But this time, there was a louder sound, like the ringing of a bell.
President Barbie felt that her fists seemed to shake a few times, but the other party seemed not to be hurt at all.
President Barbie could feel that the opponent's scales were extremely tough. She and Alice cooperated well and did this several times. She found that such an attack was nothing.
Even the dragon's body was very flexible. It figured out their attack pattern, swung its tail, and its claws directly brushed against President Barbie's steel arm. Fortunately, President Alice reacted quickly, and a rabbit hole appeared, preventing the attack from taking place.
The players from their guild all heard the noise outside and were about to come in to help, but were temporarily stopped by the guild leader. If none of them could deal with this thing, the others would only get hurt.
Especially when they did nothing and the other party suddenly attacked, it was hard not to suspect that the other party's original target was them. Although the inside story is not clear yet, Bei Xi has actually been using air arrows and iron axes to control the other party's actions within the pharmacy.
After all, the space outside is relatively open and the opponent's movements are very flexible.
It was Nan Huan who had been observing the dragon closely because of Bei Xi's attack. Strictly speaking, she felt something was wrong from the first moment she saw the dragon.
I don’t know if it was because I was a little uncomfortable seeing such a big thing suddenly, or because this imaginary creature that I had only seen in books and TV shows suddenly appeared in front of me and gave me a sense of distortion. Nan Huan always felt that something was strange.
After observing from such a close distance, Nan Huan found that the opponent was really very flexible. If it weren't for the joint efforts of so many presidents, they might not be able to trap the opponent in this room.
Its scales are very hard, and neither Beixi's weapons nor President Barbie's fists have any effect on it. Its pair of sharp claws are its best weapon.
Soon the entire pharmacy looked like it had been attacked by a wild beast, with claw marks everywhere.
The President of the Red Pink Association and the President of the Working People Association also temporarily joined the fighting team, but the effect was minimal.
The Workers' Guild President squinted his eyes and observed for a while, then put the props in his hand back into the control panel with a heavy expression on his face, as if he had made up his mind.
But before she could take any action, the eldest lady seemed to have discovered something.
"President Barbie, President Alice, continue to attack in the southeast direction. You don't have to cause much damage, but the speed must be fast and continuous. Don't listen in the middle."
"President Hongfen, President Worker, you guys go northwest, do the same thing. You don't need to cause too much damage. It's best to attack continuously to keep its scales upright."
Nan Huan confirmed his guess during everyone's attack again.
"Scales standing up?"
Bei Xi narrowed his eyes and understood the key to breaking the deadlock from Nan Huan's few words.
Although the other presidents were not sure whether their attacks could make the dragon's scales stand up, and they were not sure how the eldest lady confirmed this, they had already reached a tacit understanding. Even the working-class president trusted the eldest lady very much, and everyone started to act together.
As expected, every time everyone attacked, the dragon would react as if in emergency, and all the scales on its body would stand up briefly. In order to prolong this process, the remaining four presidents cooperated very well, and everyone's attacks were continuous.
In this way, although it cannot cause any great attack to the opponent, it can ensure that the opponent's scales are in an upright state.
Bei Xi seized the opportunity and shot an air arrow that avoided the erected scales and hit the opponent.
This time, without the hard scales, the air arrow shot directly into the opponent's body.
When the explosion sounded, everyone retreated to the open space outside the pharmacy and watched the dragon explode and collapse along with the pharmacy.
But in just a few seconds, dust had already risen from the ground.
Nan Huan originally thought that the scales on the other party's body were the withered dragon scale paper in the mission. After all, this thing seemed to be the most consistent with the mission requirements.
Little did they know that the moment the explosion occurred, the dragon had been blown into pieces and turned directly into a pool of green liquid. Not to mention the dragon scales, even the dragon's shape could not be seen.
"The withered dragon scale paper we want, don't we have to collect this thing first?"
President Alice turned around three times and pursed her lips at the pool of green liquid on the ground.
Nan Huan shook his head, somewhat disappointed but also relieved, "It shouldn't be. The system notification sound didn't go off, and how can I tell?"
She had a conflicted expression on her face, which frightened the rest of the players. Could there be other problems?
"Don't you think this dragon is a little too weak?"
Nan Huan looked at the remaining presidents sincerely.
Forehead……
Everyone's understanding of strength and weakness may be somewhat biased. If the eldest lady hadn't discovered the other party's shortcomings, they would probably not be able to find the weakness even if they continued to fight.
But on the other hand, it is indeed as the eldest lady said.
After all, in this plot copy, the Dragon God is an omnipotent being and the belief of all the residents of this city, so the dragon clan is naturally a very powerful being, but the one just now seemed to be a bit out of place in terms of both his stance and behavior.
It was not known whether the system was deliberately working against Nan Huan. As soon as she finished speaking, a prompt sounded, but it was not the one they expected.
[Oh, congratulations on discovering a special existence in Bailan City. ]
[And you were smart enough to discover the opponent's weakness and saved many people. ]
"Hmm? Just these two sentences, that's all?"
President Barbie waited for a long time, but after the system said these two sentences without any emotion, it fell silent again.
"What does this mean? Is it to let us know that there are still dragons in this city?" Nineteen and the others were originally very worried on the periphery. Seeing that the eldest lady and the first president were fine, they gathered around them. "But aren't we here to pray for the arrival of the Dragon God? The one just now looked very similar. Even if it wasn't the Dragon God, it should be a dragon. Shouldn't it be in the same group with us? Why is it attacking us?"
This was the first time that the players had seen such a scene, and they had already started discussing it in groups of three or four.
Nan Huan had always been concerned about the words "special existence" mentioned by the system. While she was thinking about it, her eyes were attracted by the scars on the worker's arm.
"Are you hurt?"
It should have been the first time the dragon attacked. Although President Alice was very fast, there were still a few claw marks on the arm of the Worker President.
"Oh, never mind, it's not a big deal."
The worker's union president waved her hand nonchalantly. After all, this injury was a piece of cake for her.
The players from their guild had also gathered around, ready to heal their leader.
Nan Huan seemed to be very concerned about the scar for some reason and had glanced at it several times inadvertently. Finally, Bei Xi couldn't help it and reached out to turn Nan Huan's head around.
"Don't tell me you're worried about her minor wound?"
Bei Xi glanced at the president of the workers' union with some dissatisfaction and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Of course not, it's just that those claw marks are a little strange..."
Nan Huan finally realized that his behavior was inappropriate and quickly denied it.
"Miss, President, what should we do next?"
The entire team had been resting for a while. Nineteen, as the bridge between other guilds and Guild One, had been asked by several people in just a short while. She couldn't stand it anymore, so she bit the bullet and asked about the next plan. In addition, what happened just now was indeed unexpected, and she was confused for a moment.
Nan Huan was hit hard and couldn't finish her next words. She could only give Bei Xi a look that said there was no need to be jealous, and then turned to Nineteen and said, "Go ask the other vendors. You have seen the weakness of the monster just now. Remember to tell them. If you encounter that type of dragon again, attack it in a small area first to make the opponent's scales stand upright, and then attack the soft parts that are not covered by the scales. Let our people be alert and don't lose their composure."
After she explained all this, she was about to pack up with Bei Xi and look for the next vendor to ask for clues, but she saw Nineteen standing nearby and did not leave immediately.
"What's wrong? Any other questions?"
Nan Huan was a little confused.
"Yes," Nineteen nodded heavily, and in the face of Nan Huan's increasingly puzzled gaze, he moved away to block his view, "After the explosion just now, all the vendors on the whole street ran away like crazy, as if they were scared by me...you guys."
Nineteen lowered his head and reported seriously.
At first, people on the street were watching the fun and paying attention to the situation inside the pharmacy, but after Bei Xi's arrow hit the other party, those people ran away in panic.
"Except for that family," Nineteen felt that his statement was not quite accurate, so he added another sentence and pointed a finger at Nan Huan.
Nan Huan's attention had just been on the pool of green liquid on the ground, and he didn't notice that the originally bustling street had become extremely desolate in just a few seconds.
On the entire street, only a stall selling wood carvings at the southernmost end remained, and the owner did not seem to be affected by them.
It was just that everything was silent, and apart from them, there was only one person left, concentrating on carving the wood sculpture in his hand, which made it seem even more weird.
