Chapter 788 Fighting alone and seeking help

As the male fire dragon shook its head, the swaying dragon flames spread forward in a fan shape.

If you are an inexperienced hunter and subconsciously roll to the back or side to dodge, you will easily be burned completely by the dragon flames that cover a wide range.

So Gordon chose to take the risk and swooped forward, getting right under the Fire Dragon.

The terrifying claws that almost caught the electric dragon to death were hanging dozens of centimeters above his head, and he could even see the purple-black venom dripping from the tips of the claws.

After standing up, Gordon directly shouldered the sword and began to charge up, and then immediately switched to a crouching position to strongly charge up.

Even though his eyesight has not yet recovered, the male fire dragon is still keenly aware that the dragon flames have not successfully hit the target.

From an ordinary male fire dragon, it survived countless battles and finally evolved to its current appearance. It almost immediately determined the hunter's location at this time.

The poisonous claws that were slightly bent during flight immediately swung downwards.

Gordon was surprised by the reaction speed and calmness of the male fire dragon. Even though it had lost its vision, it did not appear panicked at all. The Celestial Dragon on Sky Mountain could not do this.

The power accumulation of the strong charge slash has only reached the second stage, but at this time, he can't be greedy. Facing the incoming sharp claws, Gordon immediately kills the dragon energy jet mechanism of the [Red Wing] sword.

Amidst the roar of the engine, a powerfully charged slash met the claw strike, and the sharp blade and claw suddenly collided, causing a cloud of sparks to rub out.

The attack was thwarted, and the Fire Dragon reflexively swung out another dragon claw. Gordon also deflected the edge of the sword, swept forward with a strong sweep, and the claws and the blade met evenly again.

After the two sword strikes, Gordon ignored the scorching flames on the ground and rolled sideways with all his strength.

As if it was agreed upon, the moment he flew out, the male fire dragon fluttered its wings and did a backflip, sweeping the ground with its giant tail covered with sharp bone spines.

The rubble sputtered, and a conspicuous ravine several meters long and twenty to thirty centimeters deep suddenly appeared where Gordon stood a second ago.

After this somersault, the male fire dragon also fell back to the ground. Without any pause, it turned its body, spreading its wings and swinging its giant tail to sweep around.

Gordon, who had just finished his flying dive and had not had time to stand upright, rolled over again. While avoiding the tail of the dragon wing, he got close to the thigh of the male fire dragon, stood up and raised his sword.

Upward chop!

Theoretically, the sharp blade that could easily cut through the scales of a flying dragon fell on the scales of the male fire dragon's legs. It made a "squeaking" noise, but it only made an inconspicuous scratch.

This is of course due to the lack of power in striking when standing up, but also due to the thick carapace on the legs and feet of the male fire dragon, and the extremely poor meat quality.

But no matter what, the White Zhanwei's [Red Wing] sword actually failed to break through the opponent's defense, which is enough to prove that the toughness of this male fire dragon's scales is not at the same level as that of ordinary male fire dragons.

"Roar!"

The male fire dragon raised its foot to kick, and Gordon raised his sword in time to block, but was still kicked back a short distance.

A sword exchanged for a kick, but neither of them broke through their defenses, and they were still evenly matched.

Gordon glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye. During the time he was fighting the male fire dragon, Pig Chop had already taken Mr. Scholar and evacuated the dragon's nest.

The last bit of baggage in my heart was also let go.

Staring at the fire dragon whose eyesight was gradually returning to normal in front of him, Gordon grinned.

He recalled the scene when he was wearing a strange bird suit and holding a blasting knife to challenge the fire dragon.

The heartbeat is speeding up and the blood is burning.

Gordon licked the corner of his mouth, "It's been a long time since I hunted alone."

Pig Chop ran wildly in front of him on all fours. Whenever it got a certain distance away from the dragon scholar chasing behind him, it could only stop and wait anxiously for a while.

Issa was already very tired. His physical strength was considered very good among ordinary people, but he could not endure the five or six hours of running back and forth on the mountain roads. Now that his physical strength was on the verge of exhaustion, he could only rely on force-taking medicine to hold on.

Halfway through, he suggested that Pig Chop rush back to help, and he should be able to return to the camp safely if he was careful.

But the pork chop refused simply.

If something happened to Issa on the road, such as encountering a dog dragon wandering around looking for food, then the way to seek help would be cut off.

The message could not be sent back, and there were no reinforcements. Facing that extraordinary fire dragon would only be more dangerous.

Hurrying slowly, they finally returned to the campsite after more than two hours of driving at dawn.

Pork Chop was about to leave without saying a word and return to Gordon, but Isa, who was panting, held him back.

The dragon scholar first shouted loudly, asking the crew on the cargo airship to send down some key supplies, and then grabbed the pork chop and said quickly:

"Remember what I said before, that guy is not an ordinary male fire dragon, but a very famous two-name monster. We call it the 'Black Flame King'.

The number of outstanding hunters who have died under its poisonous claws and red lotus explosions can be counted on one hand. Just be careful and deal with it cautiously. Don't attack head-on. I will find a way to bring reinforcements back as soon as possible.

Another key point is that the Black Flame King has a spouse, which is also a terrifying two-name monster called 'Purple Poison Princess'.

In contrast to the explosive flames of the Black Flame King, the poison glands on the Purple Poison Queen's tail have evolved abnormally and are able to spray poisonous mist and release deadly poison in a short period of time.

If Mr. Gordon is besieged by this 'evil couple' before reinforcements arrive, even if Mr. Gordon is a famous seven-star hunter, it will be difficult for him to survive.

Therefore, even if you have this strength, you must never push the Black Flame King into a desperate situation, lest he summon the Purple Poison Lady and reverse the battle situation instantly."

At the same time that Mr. Issa said this, a crew member on the airboat also slid down the fixed rope carrying a package.

Issa took the package, opened it, took a look, took out the two wax-sealed blue pills, and stuffed them into the pig's paws, "The toxins of the Black Flame King and the Purple Poison Lady are extraordinary.

The ordinary antidotes you bring may not be able to completely remove the toxins. Here are two emergency Kampo medicines on board. Please keep them and use them at critical moments.

We will keep any other supplies and hunting props that you may need and put them in the storage boxes at the camp.

I won’t talk nonsense about anything else, just be careful.”

"Thank you, meow." Pig Chop carefully put away the Kampo medicine, nodded and said thank you, and then ran on all fours in the direction he came from.

"Mr. Issa, where is Mr. Gordon? Did any accident happen?" Looking at Issa with a solemn expression, the crew member asked carefully.

"Um."

Issa responded simply, and then shouted to the people on the airboat: "Loosen the anchor hook, seize the time to prepare to set sail, put down the rope ladder, and pull us up! We must go back to Bernard Village as soon as possible!"

After a period of hurried preparations, the heavy cargo airship "Porter" hovering over the hunter camp took off and set sail.

The dragon scholar standing on the side of the ship pulled out his telescope, looked at the mountain peak where the dragon's nest was, and pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned around and ran towards the steering wheel at the bow of the ship.

"Change direction, don't go back to Bernard Village, go directly to the underground volcano!"

"Ah?" The crew member responsible for piloting the airship didn't react. "Aren't you going back to Bernard Village to ask for help?"

"It's a waste of time to go back and forth. High-level hunters are not that easy to find, and ordinary hunters can't help.

Mr. Gordon said before that he had a high-ranking hunter companion who hunted the Dragon Slayer in the underground volcano, and another hunted the Tailed Hammer Dragon in the ancient forest.

The underground volcano is relatively close, go call that person first!"

Ps.

As for the two names, I have mentioned them before, but I will mention them again. They are obviously unique existences, such as the Demon and the Heavenly Eye. After all, they have special physical characteristics.

However, this is not necessarily the case for Hong Dou and Daxue Lord, so when I wrote about Hong Dou before, I also said that this kind of "two names" appeared several times in the guild records.

As for the Black Flame King and the Purple Poison Lady, I feel like it might be more towards the latter.

But it is definitely a very, very rare existence. Maybe it exists in some corner of the world, or there may be similar "overlord fire dragons" in other eras.

But now the one discovered by scholars and named "Black Flame King" refers specifically to this end.
