Chapter 766 Waiting for a long time

The sword once again clashed with the wing blade, and after deflecting the Yue Xunlong's attack away, Hayata felt a little confident.

As a rare species of Velociraptor, the advantages of Moon Velociraptor are mainly reflected in its elusive stealth ability and its fur carapace which is far tougher than the original species.

With the sharpness of her white sword, [Moon Shadow], she was unable to successfully break through the defense of Yue Xunlong's forelimbs, and the blade was bounced away.

In comparison, the power of Yue Xunlong can only be said to be quite satisfactory. It may be stronger than the original Velociraptor, but it is also limited.

This is very good news.

The tachi is a purely offensive weapon. It does not have a shield like a blunderbuss or a spear, nor can it block and defend like a broadsword.

Facing the monster's attack, there are only two options available: dodge and parry the deflection attack.

If the opponent's prey is too strong, it will not be easy to deflect the attack with the thin and light blade of the sword. If you can only dodge, you will have fewer tactical options.

Now, perhaps you can choose to try a head-on fight, which can create a better attack window for the two fellow shooters.

After swiping two swords quickly and leaving two different and not itchy wounds on Yue Xunlong's head, Hayata's attack slowed down a bit and he was not greedy for the knife.

Seeing the muscles of Yue Xunlong's forelimbs tightening, she immediately stepped forward and retreated three or four meters as if a spring was attached to her feet.

After Yi Jianqie avoided Yue Xunlong's grasp, she didn't pause at all and struck back with her blade.

The sword clashed with the sharp claws of Yue Xunlong that followed closely behind.

Lifting up is not an action suitable for exerting force. Although this sword is sudden and sharp, it cannot compete with the sharp claws coming at it. The force of Yue Xunlong's attack clearly has the upper hand.

The sword was swatted away by it, but it didn't matter.

This head-on battle quickly boosted Hayata's momentum.

Yue Xunlong, who had extremely keen senses, noticed this, and was shocked. This monster, which was naturally cunning and cautious to an exaggerated degree, did not choose to take advantage of the situation and pursue it, but instead jumped sideways.

The faint blue body was like salt thrown into the water, blending into the moonlight and mist and disappearing.

Hayata's fighting rhythm was interrupted when he lost his opponent just after his momentum increased, which was very uncomfortable.

She knew that the Moon Swift Dragon had not left yet, but was hiding in the mist, ready to launch a surprise attack at any time, so she sheathed her sword and gathered herself together, alerting her to the attack that might come at any time.

"seven o 'clock!"

Gale's reminder sounded suddenly, along with the roar of a series of crossbow shells.

Hayata turned around quickly, and an illusory figure invisible to the naked eye emerged from the mist and pounced towards her.

She did not dodge or avoid, but instead strode forward, turned around and swung her blade to meet the attack.

Iai!

The two passed each other, and as Hayata turned around and charged forward, the wing blade of Yue Xunlong fell into the air, and the sword wrapped with Ling Lie sword energy cut a large area of ​​​​thin flesh in the soft flesh of its waist.

Knife marks.

"Wow~!" Gale let out a strange scream that was probably in admiration, and at the same time quickly turned the muzzle.

Yue Xunlong, who had a waist injury and made a miss, staggered when he landed. This flaw was very short, but it was enough for an excellent shooter.

A series of penetrating bullets fell on Yue Xunlong's head like a torrential rain. The wounds caused by these crossbow bullets were not large, but very deep. The cone-shaped bullets were stuck deep in the muscles and even bones, making Yue Xunlong roar in pain.

Continuously.

At the same time, an arrow as thick as a short spear struck from the darkness.

With the help of gunpowder, the dragon's arrows roared sharply and penetrated deeply into the soft parts of the Moon Swift Dragon's flanks that were not covered by the carapace bristles.

The one-meter-long arrow body was almost completely submerged.

“Gah ah ah ah—!”

"Wow, you screamed so miserably." Feng Ying looked back, "So don't mess with women, especially female hunters."

Anhir glanced at her.

You say this as if you are not a woman or a hunter.

"Concentrate, we are approaching the ancient pagoda." Gordon, who was running at the front of the team, warned.

Feng Ying quickly withdrew her attention from the battlefield in the distance and became alert to her surroundings.

The so-called ancient pagoda ruins are not just a single tower, but a group of ruins covering an area of ​​several square kilometers.

The area where Hayata and others fought was outside the ruins group.

In addition to the ancient tower located in the central area, you can also see a large number of ancient architectural remnants similar to stone pillars, giant stone gates, and stone bridges in the ruins group.

It's hard to guess what kind of place this was during the ancient civilization.

The ancient tower was already in front of them, and it was only then that the hunters realized how huge this ruin was.

Not to mention the top of the tower, which is so deep into the clouds that you can't see beyond the horizon, even running around the bottom of the tower would probably take a lot of time.

Gordon suddenly raised a fist, and the three-man team stopped.

"Stay alert and take a short rest." Gordon looked up and looked at this ancient giant tower that could not be built with today's technology. The feeling of depression in his heart was indescribable.

What kind of existence lives here?

Although he felt depressed, the reason why Gordon stopped was not because of this.

He came to a broken stone pillar near the entrance of the ancient pagoda, on which there was a message left with charcoal by Pork Chop.

An Xil also noticed this, but did not rush over to it. Instead, he followed Feng Ying, who was full of curiosity, to watch the surroundings.

Soon, Gordon came back with a slightly strange look on his face.

"What's going on?" Anhir asked.

"Zhupa said he saw a unicorn on the ground floor, which means don't enter directly from the entrance on the ground floor, but take the stone steps outside to go around."

"Kirin?!"

An Xil looked stunned, "There is a unicorn on the first floor? What kind of ghosts are there on the top?"

"have no idea."

Gordon raised his head again and looked at the ancient tower.

The ancient pagoda is built on a very huge, layered foundation stone platform. There is an entrance at the bottom of the stone platform, which can be entered directly, or you can climb up the stone platform through steps and cross the bottom layer built inside the stone platform.

"Are you sure it's the message left by Pig Chop?" Due to everything that happened before, Anxier seemed a little suspicious.

"Well, I can still recognize its handwriting, and it also drew a simple cat face at the end, which is its usual signature."

"good."

Ancier watched the entrance to the dark hole at the bottom of the stone platform warily, fearing that a few thunderbolts would suddenly strike inside.

"Come on, let's climb the stairs and get to the stone platform. Stay alert."

Having made the decision, Gordon no longer hesitated and led his companions away from the entrance to the bottom of the stone platform, stepped on the stone steps that had become slippery with moss, and climbed up step by step.

The stone platform that serves as the base of the ancient pagoda occupies a large area, but its height is not too exaggerated, nor is it steep. After a few minutes, the hunters arrived at the top of the stone platform.

After learning that there was a unicorn nearby, the hunters were very nervous.

Gordon, who was the first to reach the top of the stone platform, looked around, hoping to find the entrance to the ancient pagoda as soon as possible and enter it to avoid a long night and many dreams.

Then his expression froze.

On the stone platform, a purple-black monster filled with freezing air was standing there quietly, staring at them with pure red eyes, as if it had been waiting for a long time.
