Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1106 1088. Ice and Fire

Originally, the dragon didn’t care much about the figure walking towards him.

He just bared his teeth, with a burning red light coming out from the depths of his throat, ready to kill the fool who dared to appear in front of him.

But after Lan En said that lightly, Smaug’s teeth stopped baring, and the humanized playfulness on the dragon’s face disappeared.

Only it looked at the figure in its field of vision, and that look made people even more frightened!

But Lan En didn’t seem to notice anything.

He returned the bolt on the heavy crossbow to its position with a ‘click’.

“It seems that I was right, the great, brutal, and powerful king under the mountain, the dragon Smaug?”

The dragon once boasted to the Hobbits about his body and strength, as well as his brutality and irresistibility, on the golden mountains and silver seas of Lonely Mountain.

But now, these words came out of the mouth of a man who had just hit it three times with an unknown weapon, even making it fall to the ground with an unstable breath.

"Hiss~"

The corners of Smaug's mouth twitched faintly, and hot steam came out from it.

"The Lonely Mountain Kingdom is lit tonight, this is the first time since the kingdom was destroyed."

"If you were slaughtering dwarves, it would be fine, but now that you have come out, the fire in the Lonely Mountain has begun to shine steadily."

"This shows that there are not only people inside, but also people who are familiar with the equipment in the Lonely Mountain Kingdom and can use the famous melting pot!"

"It's a dwarf!"

Smaug didn't show any expression on the surface, but under his wing claws supporting the ground, the huge claws and the rocks in the lake had already made a "crackling" friction and crushing sound.

And the slender tail behind Smaug's huge body also changed from the original careless swaying to the swaying like a venomous snake that was tense and ready to attack.

Under the dragon's gaze, the little man in front of it still showed no fear.

Even his mouth was still fluent.

Lan En smiled in the red light of the flames. The flames made his silver hair have a wonderful color reaction, like red glass threads.

The demon hunter's eyes looked directly at the dragon's eyes.

Lan En said word by word in an unquestionable tone.

"You, not only failed to kill the dwarves who invaded your territory, but you were even driven out by them, right?"

"I'm really confused." After saying that, Lan En covered his forehead with a dumb smile.

"I thought you were as difficult to deal with as the legend said, but what happened? The dragon in front of me is old and fat! Dull and cowardly!"

Lan En shrugged in front of Smaug, looking very disappointed.

At the same time, on his retina, Mentos was reading data bars.

The progress bar combines Lan's emotional perception, experience in controlling emotions, and observation of Smaug's subtle movements and muscles.

And this [emotion reading bar] marked with the dragon head is only one bar away from turning red.

So Lan said the last sentence at the right time.

He pretended to be helpless and spread his hands towards the tall dragon head.

"I have prepared for you for so long, but your current performance makes me feel that this is a shame, Smaug."

"Just like you."

Suddenly, it seemed that the entire Long Lake Town fell into a heart-pounding silence.

The "puff" sound of the rising flames, the "crackling" sound of the burning wooden buildings, and the sound of collapse seemed to disappear in an instant.

The dragon flame was suppressed to an extremely weak level in an instant - because of the will of the evil dragon!

The flames disappeared, and the light of the entire Long Lake Town dimmed a lot in an instant!

High up, only Smaug's two huge pupils emitted a hot orange-red light!

And then, the dragon's body, the hot light penetrated through the skin and flesh to the outside world, and it became brighter and brighter in a very short time!

Lan En glanced at where Smaug was in an instant.

Smaug's limbs were supported on the huge rocks under the water, and around him, the floating ice on the lake surface almost instantly "hissed" and vaporized!

The cold lake water farther away was also boiled instantly!

Looking at the red progress bar on the retina, Lan En chuckled, and then an unknown small whirlwind rolled up on his legs.

His breathing frequency also suddenly changed.

[Acceleration Technique] combined with [Light Body Technique]!

The tall body flashed by like green smoke, and instantly drilled into the Long Lake Town building on the side.

Although wooden buildings are fragile in front of the dragon, as long as the function of blocking the line of sight is completely enough.

And the next moment Lann disappeared

"Roar!!!"

The extremely furious roar and dragon flames fell from top to bottom like a waterfall!

Lake Town, which had just seen a sharp drop in brightness, suddenly became brighter again!

Between darkness and light, Smaug looked like a dragon that destroyed everything!

But if being angry and furious was useful, this world would be too simple.

Lann was used to taking the initiative at the tactical level, but now that Smaug could fly, the difference in mobility led to him taking the initiative in tactics.

So Lann simply provoked the opponent's emotions and took the initiative emotionally.

If the enemy is not strong, just crush him. If the enemy is strong enough, then use perfect techniques to induce a flaw, and then crush him!

Although Smaug was rushed by the dwarves after melting a huge golden statue, he was almost crushed to death by the huge amount of liquid gold.

But it has been defiant for a long time.

Even though it was almost crushed to death by the dwarves, it actually ran out with fear, fear, horror, hysteria and all kinds of complicated emotions, wanting to massacre the citizens of Changhu Town.

But in Gushan, the dwarves are familiar with the terrain, and there are also engineering equipment, mechanical systems and secret passages that the Gushan Kingdom has accumulated for countless generations.

It is indeed dangerous, and if it runs away, it will run away.

But what is this place in Changhu Town? The sky is high and the clouds are vast, with no cover or obstruction, allowing it to flap its wings and fly high as it pleases.

Can Smaug swallow this breath?

So immediately, under Lan En's taunting, Smaug suddenly lost his mind and became furious.

"Who do you think you are facing! Bugs! Ouch!"

The evil dragon roared while spitting dragon flames.

But before it could finish speaking, a fierce arrow with a trail of airflow hit the corner of the dragon's mouth with a 'snap'!

The intense high temperature and dragon flame spray next to the dragon's mouth make the air flow very unstable.

But in the face of Thranduil's superb shooting skills, these influencing factors don't matter.

As usual, the arrow hit the corner of the dragon's mouth with a spark, and then broke into several pieces.

But the small ball hanging on the tail feather of the arrow suddenly exploded!

With a "pop" sound, a shimmering and reflective air-conditioning mist burst out from the alchemy bomb.

The corners of the evil dragon's originally wide-open mouth were immediately sealed by a piece of ice that suddenly appeared.

Although in an instant, the freezing air of [Higher North Wind] was completely dissipated by Smaug's dragon heat.

But being caught off guard, it finally screamed and tilted its head back slightly.

The frost that exploded on his face first made Smaug, who was already angry and suspicious, startled.

And after this kind of frost did not cause any harm to it, the anger became even stronger!

"that's all?!"

With a flick of its long and thorny tail, all the buildings in Changhu Town were lifted into the sky in an instant within the entire fan-shaped area it swept!

The debris of the building fell down like a heavy rain!

And this is not over yet, Smaug is a powerful creature after all, and it has already determined the approximate location of the shooter from the direction of the attack.

Amidst the thick smoke and burning smell, its senses are not accurate now, but what kind of accuracy does it need to pave the ground with dragon flames?

"Roar!!!"

The roar is accompanied by flames like waves!

"That's all you have! How dare you go against me, Smaug?! How dare you stand in front of me?!"

"My teeth are stronger than swords! My claws are far stronger than spears! My wings are like the storm! My scales are indestructible! Just because you want to kill me?"

"It's just you?!"

Seeing the dragon flames rolling in, Thranduil's face was solemn, but he was not panicked.

This is not just fire, Smaug's breath of fire also carries a powerful physical impact.

When it raided River Valley City, the dragon's flames were able to 'smash' solid stone towers just by passing by in the sky.

Even if the catapult's shells wanted to cause that kind of damage, they would have to hit two or three.

This is not a phenomenon that can be explained by 'the flame causes the air to expand, causing a shock wave'.

Thranduil was originally hidden on the edge of Lake Town, and Smaug's dragon flame breath swept all the way from the middle of the town where it landed!

All the houses and even the stone walls along the breath path were swept away!

Facing the dragon flame again, the Elf King looked solemn but calm.

He skillfully put away his bow and arrows, and moved away with a few elven archers around him in an extremely light and dexterous manner.

Hidden in the messy buildings of Changhu Town.

"There's nothing to worry about, everything is going according to plan so far."

The Elf King moved quickly while comforting the several Elf Archers he had with him.

At the same time, in other directions in the town, more shooters began to take the opportunity to continue shooting at Smaug.

I didn't mean to hurt it, just harass it.

"I made it raise its head just now." Thranduil quickly led the way on the messy terrain and turned to ask the elven archer behind him.

"Did you just see it? It's close to the chest and abdomen of the left wing, the legendary dragon scales that were shot off!"

The demeanor he had developed over a long period of time allowed Thranduil to speak without any haste or discomfort even while running around.

But the elite shooters behind him knew that Thranduil panicked when he faced the dragon flames that almost killed him again.

Otherwise, with his level of shooting skills and eyesight, how could he possibly ask such a question?

It should be a normal thing for Thranduil to shoot an arrow into the corner of the evil dragon's mouth and observe its condition at the same time.

Even if it was his son, Legolas should be able to do it if he performed normally.

However, after all, the elves have been with each other for thousands of years, so the shooters did not directly point out Thranduil's abnormal performance.

Instead, report directly.

"Not optimistic, Your Majesty."

A shooter lightly jumped over a burning beam that was smashed down, and followed behind Thranduil and said.

“I carefully observed the left chest and abdomen of the dragon, but I don’t know what the dragon did with the treasure of Lonely Mountain. There was a layer of messy and shapeless gold on it!”
