Chapter 318: Poor Lin Lin, being played around by Lan Long

“We have a plan!”

Ye Zi pointed to the barrel of explosives beside him, then turned and pointed to the mountain top above:
“We’re going to blow that mountain down!”

“And there’s a fully intact heavy crossbow over there, and there are also single-shot restraint rounds in the cabin, meow!”

After Ye Zi’s two brief sentences and Jujube’s supplement, the three experienced old hunters in front of them almost instantly understood their so-called plan.

She was not thinking about how to rescue people and escape, but wanted to directly attack, or at least severely injure and repel the other party!

This girl, should we say she’s a newborn calf who’s not afraid of a tiger? She’s really too brave…

So…what about feasibility?

The three of them exchanged glances and expressed their opinions. Rachel squinted her eyes and estimated the height of the rift.

“It’s quite difficult to operate. With only one heavy crossbow, the restraining bombs will easily break free. The height of this mountaintop will require two to three seconds to collapse. In other words, it’s best to detonate the explosive bombs while launching the restraining bombs to collapse the mountaintop.”

“It’s hard to say what effect it will have. Ancient dragons are completely different from ordinary monsters. Even with the Dragon Cannon and the Dragon Slaying Spear, most of the time they can only injure them. If their physical strength is not reduced enough…”

Rickles looked at the Storm Dragon in the clouds, its unsteady flying posture. Based on his experience of fighting against ancient dragons several times, it knew that it did not go all out when chasing the underage fire dragon. However, even so, this world was about to be shattered by the endless tornado.

If they fail to repel the enemy after setting the trap, this guy will be completely enraged and explode with all his strength. In that case, not only will they not be able to save the people, but they will also be killed.

“But given the current conditions, we don’t seem to have any better solution…”

After Kevin said this, Rachel and Rickres fell silent.

Yes, the current situation is not like that in the Battle Street and the Fort, where there are various city guard weapons to assist, and there is no need to worry about logistics. With only such a heavy crossbow, even the most elite hunter cannot come up with a better plan.

“Then let’s follow the plan!”

Kevin made the final decision, “Rhys, you’ve played with explosives a lot, so take Ye Zi and Ye Zao with you to set up the explosives. Make sure they collapse in the shortest possible time after detonation.”

“Leave it to me!”

Rickres patted his chest.

“Rachel, you’re the shooter. You’ll be the one to detonate the explosives and blow the mountain down!”

Rachel made a reassuring gesture, then set up her hidden sniper and made a few aiming movements in the direction of the crack.

Kevin nodded to himself. “Once the arrangements are complete, I’ll attract Lanlong’s attention and try to keep it within the range of the rockfall.”

Everything was arranged. Kevin took out a piece of food from his backpack, tore open the package, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

A fierce battle is about to begin, so I must replenish my strength first.

I always feel like I have forgotten something. What is it?

Kevin’s eyes swept over Ye Zi and Ye Zao who were holding the bomb in front of him, and an idea flashed in his mind.

Oh right! One person is missing!
He hurriedly called out to Ye Zi, “Wait, where is the swordsman who came with you and Shion? Why can’t I see him?”

“Brev?”

Ye Zi was slightly startled. “We split up before we went up the mountain. My original plan was that I would go up the mountain to help Brother Lin Lin share the pressure, while he would lure other large monsters to distract Lan Long so that we could take the opportunity to evacuate.”

It was just that the pressure of the battle with Lanlong was too great, and her nerves were too tense. In addition, it had only been less than an hour since she went up the mountain. During this time, she probably couldn’t run far from the range of Lingfeng. So she didn’t pay attention to Braif’s whereabouts for a while.

“Now that I think about it, it seems no monster would have the guts to enter the Lanlong’s habitat. Perhaps the plan failed from the start…”

“Aren’t you on the Spiritual Peak now?”

Kevin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. Fortunately, he didn’t have to think of any more ways to rescue another person. The current situation was complicated enough!

……

Lin Lin was extremely tired at this moment. The abundant energy that he had replenished by taking a secret medicine seemed to be rapidly drained in the process of escaping with Dakong, and transformed into an invisible and intangible force that blessed Dakong, allowing it to maintain a flying speed far exceeding that of an ordinary adult male fire dragon, and escape with difficulty under the siege of Lanlong.

He quickly glanced at the sky-blue gem in his hand. The gem was still shining faintly, but compared to the bright light when it was just created, the light of the bond stone now seemed quite dim, as if reflecting his current state, and also like the state of insufficient reserves after consuming a lot of energy.

——Who cares what the reason is! Lin Lin now has no energy to think about these insignificant issues. Just looking around, alert to the large number of strong winds coming from all directions, has occupied his entire mind.

After condensing the bond stone, his connection with Dakong became extremely close. Without any communication, Dakong could directly feel his thoughts, and the moment he discovered the source of danger, Dakong could react and avoid it at the same time – this was also an important reason why they could persist until now in the countless storms controlled by Lanlong.

However, after persisting until now, not only Lin Lin’s condition has deteriorated sharply, but Dakong’s condition is also not optimistic. With the power of the bond, it has been able to break through the original limit of flying speed, but corresponding to this is the rapid consumption of physical strength.

At this moment, facing the endless stream of waterspouts, its speed has shown a downward trend.

Seeing a waterspout from each side squeezing towards the middle, and the world in front of him shrinking rapidly, Dakong took a deep breath and flapped his wings with all his strength again, forcing the already declining speed to increase again, and rushed out from the narrow “skyline” before the two waterspouts completely surrounded him.

However, the result of this forced overdraft of physical strength was that Dakong’s speed dropped even more significantly after he flew out.

In the vast expanse of space ahead, several waterspouts suddenly appeared, as if they had never escaped from this prison of violent wind and rain. No, not as if, but literally!
Lin Lin glanced around, and then his eyes instantly focused on the strange peak that stood tall among the mountains to the side. His pupils shrank slightly. Is that… the Spiritual Peak?!

With Dakong’s current flying speed, they have been fleeing at full speed for such a long time, which should be enough for them to cross the mountains and reach the nearby sand plains. But at this moment, they haven’t even left the area around Lingfeng?

Lin Lin thought carefully for a moment, and his expression became visibly ugly.

Just now he was wondering why Lanlong, with his ability to easily control the storm, could always find a gap for him and Dakong to escape again and again despite being surrounded and blocked. However, his nerves were always tense and he didn’t have time to think about it.

Now he was finally sure that these gaps were left intentionally by Lanlong!
It deliberately left these gaps, like a person placing an ant on their hand! The ant thought it was constantly crawling forward, but in fact it was just wandering back and forth between the person’s two hands. The waterspout that covered the sky and the sun was the fingers that Lanlong used to tease the ant!
Lin Lin gritted his teeth and looked up. Lanlong was perched high in the sky, staring at him from afar with cold eyes. Lin Lin could clearly see a hint of ridicule in the other’s eyes.

If Dakong helped Lin Lin dodge its attacks several times at the beginning, which made it very angry, then after summoning countless tornadoes that filled the world, its mentality had undergone a subtle change.

Watching the other party spinning around in a mess under its nose, the feeling of regaining control of everything made it feel quite happy. The dignity of the ancient dragon that had been lost before was regained at this moment.

“Fly, keep flying! Aren’t you a very good flyer? Why don’t you continue flying? Don’t you like it?”

At this moment, Lin Lin truly felt what despair was. There was no way to go up to heaven, and no door to enter the earth. An opponent like Lan Long was simply too powerful. Even if he tried his best and the bond caused a miracle, it only delayed the arrival of death.

I don’t know how Ye Zi and the others are doing. I don’t know if they took advantage of the time when they were attracting Lan Long to evacuate… I hope they can escape!

Originally it was just his, but now Dakong has sacrificed himself to save him. Such a result is really unacceptable!
Really are……

unacceptable.

Lin Lin stared at Lan Long’s figure intently, his black pupils reflected the dark clouds in the sky, with a faint hint of bright red.

Lanlong suddenly shifted his gaze and looked around with some vigilance. He sensitively sensed that something seemed to be wrong.

“Swoosh—bang!”

On the hill below, bright red spots rose into the sky and then exploded into bright red fireworks, attracting the attention of Lin Lin and Lan Long at the same time.

That’s a flare?!
how come? !

Lin Lin was immediately anxious. He and Dakong had delayed for so long, why hadn’t Ye Zi and the others evacuated from Lingfeng yet?!
With the sudden fluctuation of his mood, the bright red in his eyes quietly faded away. He didn’t care about anything else and hurriedly urged the sky to dive downwards.

Lanlong took a look at the bright red fireworks, and then the vague feeling that something was wrong suddenly disappeared. It looked around again with some confusion, and even directly dispersed the tornado that was used to surround Lin Lin and Dakong, but still found nothing unusual.

So Lanlong no longer bothered about the fleeting strange feeling. He flicked his tail and dived down quickly, chasing after the red figure.

Dakong’s speed had slowed down a lot because of the great physical consumption. Therefore, this time when Lanlong dived down, the distance between them was quickly shortened. If Lanlong had not delayed a little time because of looking around, I am afraid that this dive would have directly hit Dakong.

Lin Lin glanced back, staring intently at Lanlong’s figure behind him. At the same time, he was multitasking, connecting with Dakong through the bond and paying attention to its perspective.

On that open flat ground, several figures were standing scattered around. With Dakong’s excellent eyesight, Lin Lin could even see the hunter wearing armored dragon armor below, holding a very familiar spherical object in his hand.

The distance between Dakong and the ground was rapidly closing. At the same time, Lanlong behind them was chasing them at an even faster speed. The distance between the two sides was rapidly shortening: one hundred meters, fifty meters, thirty meters, ten meters…

Seeing the ground right before his eyes, Lin Lin shouted in his heart, “Now!”

Dakong flapped his wings and instantly came out of the dive. While gliding forward, he also gained a little altitude.

The next moment, a strong light flashed. Because of Lin Lin’s reminder, Dakong closed his only remaining eye at the moment of the flash and was almost unaffected.

Lanlong, who was following closely behind Dakong, was caught off guard and once again lost his vision due to the flash. Although he had been flashed once not long ago, he had adapted to this strong light a little, but it was obviously not to the point where he could ignore it directly.

“Success!”

Kevin’s expression lit up with joy, but his happiness didn’t last long as he regretfully discovered that the scene he had hoped for did not occur.

After all, Lanlong is a powerful monster among the ancient dragons. It is completely different from those ordinary flying dragons. It will not lose its balance when it is dodged, and then it will not be unable to control the speed of diving and crash into the ground, hitting its head and making itself dizzy.

At the moment when it lost its vision due to the glare, it flicked its tail again, easily resolving the speed of the dive, and its figure stayed in the air about five or six meters, like a nimble fish.

It only takes a moment to go from extreme movement to extreme stillness.

“damn it!”

Kevin cursed inwardly, but before he could say anything more, he shouted:

“beat!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of crossbow bullets flew towards the Lanlong in the air like a machine gun. Those were penetrating bullets with special penetrating power, and were most suitable for dealing with these large monsters that had no hard shells and were particularly large in size.

However, the effect of the crossbow bullets hitting Lanlong was far beyond Rachel’s expectations. The flying membrane on his body looked soft and flowing, which should have been easily penetrated by the penetrating bullets, but the crossbow bullets only left a few inconspicuous wounds, and there was not even any bleeding!

Are those flying films so tough?!
No, that’s not right!

Rachel stared at Lanlong’s body intently, and fired the crossbow in her hand continuously, pouring crossbow bullets at various parts of Lanlong’s body.

So, she soon discovered that the body of Lanlong was wrapped in a gray cyclone. Although it was not as strong as the wind armor wrapped around the body of the steel dragon as recorded in the records, which would deflect all the crossbow bullets and arrows, it would obviously disrupt the flight direction of the crossbow bullets and reduce their kinetic energy!
This battle is not easy to fight…
