Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 684 686. Instant counterattack

This monster suddenly rushed out from behind Wen De and slapped him on the head.

Lying on all fours, its body shape is similar to that of an iguana, but its size is enlarged more than ten times.

The body length is about ten meters, and the shoulder height is about two and a half meters.

The whole body is covered with yellow-based scales with green patterns.

The most recognizable feature is the mane on its head. Like yellow dreadlocks, the hair is spread out one by one, forming a look similar to a middle parting.

The fierce jackal dragon.

That is the target species of their hunting activity this time.

Although in the mission level established by the investigation team, this is only a two-star monster.

However, although this size is not as heavy as the dozens of tons of the Manjasaurus, it must be at least more than ten tons.

And when this big ferocious jackal attacked Wende, with a slap on the head, it almost lifted the front half of its body from the ground during the charging stage, and then smashed it down with the strength of its arms plus half of its body weight!

Judging from the output power alone, this slap is worth several tons of pressure at least!

If it were Lan En, he would probably instinctively adopt some more 'flexible' strategies to deal with such a sudden attack.

But Wende is different.

This guy said to Lan En in the forging area of ​​the Star Stronghold, ‘I know a little bit about everything’.

But based on his performance just now, Lan En doesn't think this is a level where he only knows a little bit!

Although Lan En did not know the inner structure and usage mechanism of the weapon named [Shield Ax] that Wind chose.

But in that moment of confrontation, he also relied on his own vision and experience to roughly understand the secret.

The shield ax is a weapon with an internal mechanical structure. During use, it should be accompanied by mechanisms such as deformation and activation of mechanisms to increase the lethality.

When these internal mechanical structures start up or shrink, the internal mechanical stress that interlocks with each other will be released in a very short time.

And Wen De's reaction just now.

By twisting the waist, the shield ax hanging on the back has initial inertia, and the hand holding the sword hilt is used to control the direction of inertia.

Immediately afterwards, his own strength, the inertia of the shield axe, and the mechanical stress released at the moment when the shield ax deformed, these forces were brought together by his keen experience and superb technology.

Everything happens in an instant!

Under the power gathered together, even if the ferocious jackal dragon pressed down half of its body and hit the ground in a surprise attack, Wende was able to block it back!

The very recognizable "scandium" sound was the sound of the mechanical stress inside the shield ax fighting against the external force after the monster hit the shield, and then returned to calmness.

It sounds like a single sound, but it is actually a mixed sound produced by many internal mechanical structures at the same time, which is why it seems strange.

Wen De's body took a small step back during this sudden confrontation.

But his body's center of gravity showed no signs of instability, and neither did his posture.

Rather than being pushed back in the confrontation, it is better to say that he withstood the attack, tightened his posture, and was knocked back by the attack in defense.

The posture has not collapsed, and the center of gravity remains stable, which means that the hunter can still counterattack the moment after being attacked!

There was a "click".

The shield ax finally showed another attitude in Wende's hands.

The structure of the shield began to change. The machete originally used as a one-handed sword was inserted into the shield and engaged with the mechanical structure inside.

Suddenly, what was originally a sword and a shield turned into a large ax with a machete as the handle and the shield as the blade!

Due to the expansion of the mechanical structure, the shield axe, which was originally quite large, now has an overall length of almost three meters!

Due to the increase in length, the moment arm during use is also lengthened. Wende has to increase the range of motion of his body and gain the power to swing the weapon through full twisting.

The unfolded shield ax was right in front of Wen De. He raised it up with amazing arm strength and fished it up to chop it!

The ferocious jackal dragon was shocked because of the failed attack just now, and its entire body was staggered by Wen De's defense.

Its front chest was completely exposed due to its uncontrolled tilting back.

The blade of the shield ax hit the big ferocious jackal dragon's chest from bottom to top.

The sound of scales colliding with steel was followed by a series of sounds of shattering scales and sounds of flesh being opened.

"Ouch!"

Instead, the raiders screamed after a moment of confrontation.

The hunter who swung an ax after being surprised seemed to have just reacted.

His eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and he shouted with his newly recovered voice: "I'm going!!!"

It was as if he had been beaten.

A strong gust of wind blew past Wind.

That was Lan En who had activated [Acceleration].

The dark [turbid current] sword was pulled out from his alchemy leather bag during the charge.

"Bang!"

A sound like the ringing of a church bell resounded through the woods.

[Acceleration] increased the basic speed, coupled with Lan En's precise control of the center of gravity, making this impetuous slash become swift and explosive.

[Wushin-ryu・Shuchichi]!

The not-so-sharp sword blade struck just right at the crook of the left forelimb of the big ferocious jackal dragon that had just landed.

After this monster was almost opened in the chest by Wen De using his shield axe, it immediately instinctively returned to the state of all fours on the ground, reducing the exposed area of ​​​​the chest.

But Lan En's sword got stuck at the moment when its forelimb landed on the ground again.

The balance of force on the ground was destroyed. Although the forelimbs were not cut off directly due to the generally tough flesh of monsters in this world, they were still tilted to the side.

He struggled hard on the ground, but couldn't get up for a while.

Wind's big ax retracted in a burst of mechanical movement, turning into a sword and shield combination in his hand.

Taking advantage of the short period of time when the ferocious jackal couldn't get up, Lan En and Wen De had a quick exchange.

"Is this our goal?"

Lan En asked while holding [Turbid Current] ready to chop at any time.

The mission of the investigation team is to hunt a specific big ferocious jackal dragon. If the target is not this one, then it is better to leave the battlefield quickly while this moment is available.

Although Lan En didn't think that killing one more big ferocious jackal dragon would have any big ecological impact on such a huge and prosperous ancient tree forest.

But out of respect for the people in the investigation team, Lan didn't want to violate their philosophy of protecting nature.

But turning his head towards Wen De, this experienced hunter also frowned slightly at this time, looking like he was having a hard time.

"I don't know. When a large monster nearby enters a fighting state, the guide insect will be frightened and shrink into the cage. I don't know if this is the target."

Under normal circumstances, when the monster does not find the hunter, the guide insect guides the hunter to the target, and then the battle begins, and the guide insect shrinks back into the cage.

But this time the process was obviously abnormal, and the hunter was the one who was attacked.

Lan En said nothing, just tilted his head and waited for Wende's decision.

Before arriving, a few people had set the tone for this hunt: Wen De, an experienced hunter, would be used to lead Lan En, an alien from an unfamiliar place.

After thinking for a second, Wende tugged Lan En's arm, and several people immediately evacuated the scene.

Because Lan En did not resist and was very cooperative. Therefore, the three people and the cat moved very quickly. When the big ferocious jackal staggered up, they disappeared in the lush jungle.
