Chapter 415: Ancient Flying Dragon and Dejected Brother
"Mom, what is a dragon?"
"Dragons are the most powerful creatures in the world. They are strong, wise, and long-lived. Their starting point is the end point of many creatures."
"Wow, then the warrior nation with dragon knights must be the strongest country, right?"
"No, what those people tamed were just flying dragons of impure blood. They were short and violent, and even lacked wisdom. They were in no way comparable to giant dragons."
Mom, you lied to me.
Looking at the ancient flying dragon that appeared before her, Selene couldn't help but recall the stories her mother told her when she was a child.
At that time, the little girl naively thought that the so-called flying dragon was really as terrible as her mother described, just a large flying lizard.
However, now she saw something that overturned her previous impression of flying dragons.
【Ancient Flying Dragon】
The dragon's gray scales are layered like rock, its surface is covered with scorch marks like volcanic ash, and its erect spikes make it look hideous and dangerous.
The skull was as jagged as if it had been cut by a knife or an axe, the fangs were like sharp blades, and the whole body exuded terror.
Of course, the most important thing we cannot forget to mention is its size.
The huge size that blocked out the sky and the sun, like a giant mountain, suddenly increased the oppressive feeling of all the above characteristics by countless times!
Standing in front of the ancient flying dragon, Selene felt that she was only as tall as one of its sharp teeth, and the dragon could blow her away with just a breath.
Mom, is this the short flying dragon you mentioned?
“Ouch!”
The ancient flying dragon opened its ferocious mouth and roared, then rushed towards Selene like a moving mountain.
Well, mom is right about something. At least it’s true that Feilong is very irritable!
When something dangerous is rushing towards you, your brain will subconsciously control the body to run backwards. Obviously, running to the sides gives you a better chance of survival, but many people will ignore it in critical moments.
Now Selina was completely driven by the instinct of survival and was running straight behind her. Of course, her two legs were no match for the ancient flying dragon and she was caught up in the blink of an eye!
"ah!"
She didn't stand firmly and fell to the ground just when she was about to be bitten!
She could stand up when facing snake people, but it’s not shameful for her to be afraid of something like an ancient flying dragon!
But the fall saved her, allowing her to luckily avoid the first wave of attacks from the ancient flying dragon. The huge size of the ancient flying dragon meant that it could not stop freely after a collision. Even though the previous attack did not hit Selene, it still dived forward for a distance before barely stopping.
When I turned around, the princess had already gotten up from the ground and ran away.
"How come you turned around so quickly?"
Selene was running as fast as she could, and suddenly she realized that the battlefield was terrifyingly large. She ran to the edge but there was no fog blocking her way. Even the building next to it had no fog door. There was only a huge snake man holding a big axe guarding it.
She fixed her eyes, gritted her teeth and fought hard, rushing towards the axe that could have split her in half. She narrowly avoided the snake man's attack and successfully entered the building.
The building was not big and could not withstand the attack of the ancient flying dragon. Before she had time to catch her breath, she felt the ground shaking. The ancient flying dragon slammed into the building, causing the entire venue to tremble.
Selina had no intention of hiding here. If she were an adventurer, even if she knew she couldn't defeat the ancient dragon, she would still try her best to find a way to find even the slightest hope of victory.
There was another tremor, and the sharp claws of the ancient flying dragon tore through the top of the building. The dragon head came in and spewed flames, turning the entire building into a purgatory furnace!
There was a sound of commotion coming from another road connected to the building. It was Selina who was fighting with several snakemen who were blocking the road. She actually escaped from the building.
This was part of her plan, to use the building to attract the ancient dragon's attention and give her as much time as possible to explore the site.
This is the first time I have seen such a large venue in the Senn dungeon. Based on my intuition developed from reading so much paper information, such a large venue must hide some mystery. It cannot be just big.
However, what she did not expect was that she would encounter so many snake people here.
There were four snakemen blocking the narrow road. In the distance, there was a snake magician who was casting fireball magic. The ancient flying dragon behind him was flapping and struggling, and it could break free at any time.
This scene really looks like a picture of hell. You can't survive without fighting, and you can't pass through the path blocked by snake people.
At the end of the road, there are various buildings built against the towering peaks. These buildings are connected to each other by vertical stairs and look like they can be climbed.
Selene was very curious about what she would see after climbing up, so she had to pass these snake people!
"It's time to go! Drink!"
“Plop——”
In a few seconds, she was knocked to the ground by a fireball released by the snake magician.
"Why? The flying speed of fireballs also varies."
The snake people stretched their necks together and bit her limbs. Before she could enjoy the same treatment as Shang Yang, the ancient flying dragon broke free and a breath of scorching flames from top to bottom turned Selene and the snake people into ashes.
“Ugh!”
As soon as she was resurrected at the campfire, Selene let out a scream.
She fell to the ground, hugging her arms tightly, her body shaking continuously, as if she was still in a sea of fire and couldn't escape.
This is a normal nerve reaction. You can't expect a person who died in fire one second to recover the next second, right?
Anyone who thinks that dying and coming back to life in a dungeon can relieve them of all suffering has definitely never been into a dungeon. They take it for granted and trivialize the efforts of adventurers.
Even an adventurer like Leon, who is definitely considered a veteran, is not immune to this situation, and he will never die for no reason.
After struggling in pain for a long time, Selina gradually calmed down. Her whole body was covered with sweat and her face was pale. It was as if she had just obtained a short-term Flame Fist Experience Card.
The pain after death is something every adventurer has to experience.
“It turns out that adventure is such a torturous thing”
She sat on the ground and gasped for breath, and suddenly remembered that she had issued a commission, wanting adventurers to help her hunt golden lions and make coats with the golden lion's fur.
"Now that I think about it, I feel really sorry for the adventurers who accepted my commissions. I feel like I didn't pay them enough."
After resting for a while, she finally chose to stand up. It seemed that not much time had passed, and Fingri and the others had not come in yet, so she could only continue exploring by herself.
This little difficulty can't defeat her!
She used the same trick again, relying on the invisible terminology spy to grope her way to the fog gate where she was fighting the ancient flying dragon. This time she had learned her lesson and would never touch any light spots again. The large shield with the ancient dragon painting was still lying quietly not far away.
Hawkwood's summoning symbol appeared in front of the fog gate. Selene knew this man who was called "Discouraged Brother" by adventurers - because he always said discouraging words, so the adventurers gave him this nickname.
"I heard that he was once a member of the Farran Undead Team. I wonder how strong he is."
Since he's a member of the Undead Army, he must be very strong, right?
With this thought in mind, she chose to summon when the snake people around her left.
Soon, Hawkwood's spirit figure slowly appeared. Except for not wearing a pointed hat, his attire was no different from that of the Faran Undead Squad.
"Hello, hello." Selene suddenly felt a little nervous because Hawkwood exuded a cold temperament.
The other party looked a little different from the image in the painting world. He was always dejected in the painting world, but at the top of the ancient dragon, he exuded a resolute temperament, as if he had decided to do something and was moving forward courageously.
"Um."
Hawkwood nodded indifferently. The snake people next to him were attracted by the movement here and rushed over.
Selene immediately wanted to cast invisibility on both of them, but he refused.
He roughly counted the number of snakemen and found that there was not a single one missing, which meant that Selene had not killed any snakemen.
At this moment, Selina saw pity in the other person's eyes.
That's right, it wasn't disdain for her low strength, but outright pity, as if asking: "Why do you come to a place like this when you are so weak?"
She couldn't refute it and could only lower her head in shame.
Hawkwood used superb sword moves, and each one of them had the charm of the Undead Corps. Even if a snake man with a shield appeared in front of him, he could go around behind the opponent with a ghostly figure and chop him to death.
Brother Grayheart is so powerful that he can easily wrestle against a giant snake man holding a huge axe!
These snake people were no match for Hawkwood.
Selene's eyes sparkled, as if she had seen a god descend from heaven.
However, the Sen Dungeon has introduced a more reasonable reward distribution system, which is based on the performance of each adventurer during the adventure.
And Selene had not contributed at all in the current battle against the snake-men, and to some extent had even dragged down Hawkwood. In the end, she was able to get only a pitiful double-digit number of souls, and even the appearance rate of the light spots had dropped significantly.
If she continues like this during the battle with the ancient dragon, she probably won't get even one tenth of the original reward.
"Walk."
After dealing with the snake man, Hawkwood uttered a word coldly and walked into the fog gate without waiting for Selene to catch up.
Selene hurried after him.
The ancient dragon fell from the sky again, and the shock of falling to the ground made her body shake, but Hawkwood stood still like a mountain.
"Do we have to fight here? Should I stay away? How should we fight? Is there anything I can do to help?"
Hawkwood had a stern face at first, but this series of questions made the corners of his mouth twitch.
He stared closely at the movements of the ancient flying dragon, and the moment it fell from the sky, he moved.
He did not attack the monster, but instead turned around from under it and ran behind it.
When the ancient dragon sensed a stronger opponent, it turned and attacked Hawkwood.
Hawkwood was seen running up to the platform in the venue, but that was not enough. He stepped on the mountain wall and ran to a higher place. When the ancient flying dragon rushed towards him with its head lowered, he jumped towards it!
In just a blink of an eye, he jumped onto the head of the ancient flying dragon, and the Fran sword suddenly pierced into the dragon's head!
"roar--"
The ancient flying dragon screamed, and a roar resounded through the top of the ancient dragon. The snake people outside froze for a moment.
The weak spot of the head was attacked, causing its vitality to rapidly drain away. When Hawkwood jumped off its head, its vitality had already been reduced to zero.
No, it seems there is still half left?
Selene was about to cheer like a good cheerleader, to encourage Hawkwood and tell him to take advantage of the momentum and kill Feilong.
However, something happened that surprised her.
Hawkwood glanced at her, pulled out a black crystal, and used it without hesitation.
【Farewell Black Crystal】
[Gives the Undead Exiles a farewell certificate, which can allow the summoned spirit to return to the original world, or allow the spirit to return to the original world from another world.]
[But if you value the bond between people, you shouldn’t use this tool lightly. ]
Under Selene's blank gaze, the other party just left.
She and the ancient flying dragon were left staring at each other.
"Leave, leave?"
