Chapter 1384: Escape
A giant blue and green bird strolls through the woods.
As a bird dragon species with a low upper limit, the ecological niche of the Poison Bird can only be regarded as middle-level, and its strength is simply not comparable to that of large-scale tooth dragons, beast dragons, and flying dragons.
But they have no real natural enemies.
Few monsters would actively provoke them. These strange-looking creatures possess the most developed poison sacs among all known bird dragon monsters.
Even a flying dragon would find it difficult to bear a mouthful of purple venom.
Perhaps the strength of the toxin is not enough to kill them directly, but it will definitely make them suffer and weakened for quite a long time.
This is almost fatal in the extremely competitive wild, so it is naturally avoided.
At the same time, they are also hunters who bully the weak and fear the strong.
The presence of venom means that they almost never fail when facing small and medium-sized monsters.
All of this makes the poisonous bird live a very comfortable life in the wild, and its distribution is very wide. It can even be found in the distant land of fire.
"Gah——?"
Looking at the tiny bipedal creature that was only as tall as its thigh walking in front of it, the poisonous bird tilted its head.
"Ji Ga——!"
It chirped with joy as it spread its wings. Its emerald green feathers, like the camouflage of a dense forest, fluttered open, revealing the colorful keratin skin underneath, which was so gorgeous that it was eye-catching.
When encountering dangerous large monsters, they act cautiously, shrink their bodies, and try to blend into the forest. They are so low-key that they don't look like poisonous creatures at all.
However, when facing small creatures, they will become extremely arrogant, wishing to make themselves more colorful and conspicuous.
"What a smart guy." Gordon drew out his greatsword and held the sword in a charging position.
The long, sticky tongue covered with venom was moving in and out of the flat, wide beak. Just as it was about to attack, a flying claw took the lead and hooked onto the side of its face.
Hayata flew forward, inserted the sword into the gaps between the scales and feathers on the monster's head, and pulled it down hard.
In front of the ice blade that can cut through the scales of ancient dragons, the colorful gelatinous skin of the poisonous bird is as soft as a piece of paper.
In the extremely cold air, the scattered blood turned into dark red ice chips. The huge wound almost tore its head in half. The poisonous bird convulsed and raised its body, letting out bursts of miserable howls.
It had realized something was wrong and was about to flap its wings and escape into the air.
Gordon in front of it has completed charging.
Originally, he wanted to chop off the head of the poisonous bird, but it suddenly raised its head, so the sword could only hit its chest.
It doesn’t matter, it’s about the same.
Really powerful slash!
The huge golden blade tore through the flesh and shattered the sternum. The heavy force carried by the sword directly knocked the poisonous bird over, causing it to fall to the ground, howling and struggling.
Gordon was about to pick up the sword again to put an end to the battle.
Feng Ying ran over with a shield and a sword in hand, "I'll finish it, I'll finish it! Let me open a red shield first!"
Gordon shrugged, shook off the blood on the blade, and put away the sword.
"First one, next is the female fire dragon, right?"
"It is said that the Poison Bird will show its arrogant side when facing an opponent weaker than itself. Sure enough."
Alva muttered to himself, stood up from the bushes where he was hiding, and turned his eyes away from the bloody scene behind Gordon.
“Yeah, that’s right, you guys solved it a little too quickly, most of the time was wasted on the journey.
Perhaps we can try a different approach. The density of large monsters in the Demon Gathering Land is high, and food resources may be relatively scarce.
Let's wait here for a while. The smell of blood and the screams of the poisonous bird may attract the surrounding large monsters."
"it is good!"
In the past, after they finished hunting, they would skin the prey as quickly as possible to prevent the smell of blood from attracting other monsters and causing trouble.
Who would have thought that there would be a day when I would use these?
In order to save ammunition, Ansher came over without firing a single shot during the entire process.
"Maybe we can set a trap."
Anxier glanced at the poor dying poisonous bird and said, "This way, no matter whether it is a female fire dragon or something else, we can knock it down quickly and improve our hunting efficiency.
As long as it's not a monster of the level of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, there will be no chance of getting back on your feet."
Gordon stroked his unshaven chin, "We don't carry many traps with us, so we use them sparingly. If we set a trap but nothing is attracted, it will be a waste.
Pork chop, Pandan, and two insect stop cages."
"Good meow."
"Got it, meow~."
Gordon smiled and said to Anshil, “There are many glitter-winged insects in this forest, and they are a renewable resource.
As for the traps and mechanisms, they will have to be sent back from the Star Base after they are used up, so we should save as much as possible."
"Row."
By the time Feng Ying had opened the red shield and filled the bottles, the poisonous bird had finally died.
Under Gordon's instructions, they deliberately made several more cuts on the body of the poisonous bird and cut open its stomach.
The bloody smell in the forest suddenly became stronger.
Alva's method worked. Before long, the whistling sound of the air stirred up by the dragon's wings could be heard from the sky obscured by the treetops.
hidden.
Gordon signaled to his companions.
Alva retreated back into his bushes, and the others also found cover.
The whistling sound of the air flow became heavier, and a huge green shadow covered with thorns fell from the gap between the treetops, waving its broad wings rhythmically as it slowly descended.
That is the queen of the land - the female fire dragon.
The dark yellow dragon pupils stared at the corpse of the poisonous bird on the open space in the forest. The female fire dragon flying in the air seemed a little hesitant.
It follows sounds and smells.
If it happens to run into two large monsters fighting each other, it will be very happy because that means it can reap the benefits.
But it was very strange that only a body that had not been eaten was left at the scene, and the "murderer" was nowhere to be found.
It felt a little uneasy.
At this moment, a small silver-white figure emerged from the ground next to the corpse of the poisonous bird.
"You're the only one who meows and calls me the Queen?!"
Xianglan kicked the insect cage that was placed here, and the cage was activated, and the stimulated flash-winged insects burst out with strong light.
The female fire dragon who was looking at this place was instantly dizzy and fell from mid-air with a scream.
"Well done! Go, go, go!"
The hunters hiding in the grass behind the tree trunks rushed forward.
Feng Ying was the fastest. She pulled the insect silk and flew in front of the female fire dragon's head.
I have an ice-attribute shield axe with a red shield and full bottles, and here happens to be a huge, stunned, blinded, and defenseless female fire dragon's head.
How could there be such a coincidence in this world?
"Get the hell out of it!"
Following closely behind is the True Charge Slash and the Air Blade Cut.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the female fire dragon's head was covered in blood.
“Roar, ahh ...
The female fire dragon replaced the poisonous bird, and its screams echoed in the forest.
Alva, for whom the concept of protecting the ecology has become an inertial way of thinking, closed one eye reluctantly, and used the other eye to see how long the female fire dragon could last than the poisonous bird.
Ansel still didn't fire a single shot.
He lowered the gun barrel and warned loudly, "Take it easy! Don't kill it all at once. Let it howl for a while to attract the male fire dragon."
"Ooooh! That makes sense!"
"Okay, I'll go chop off the tail and save the bottle again!"
"Then I will also accumulate sword energy."
Alva closed his other eye reluctantly.
Hunters who have lifted the constraints of the principle of "protecting the ecology" have completely ceased to be human.
