The Blood Spider raised a hand toward the fleeing Double-Sailed Dragon, casting the Dragon Hunting Mark, sprinting at high speed in a short time, catching up with the Double-Sailed Dragon, and flipped onto its back by grabbing its tail.
Yuan Hall activated the transformation skill attached to his equipment, turning into a leopard, with wind beneath its four paws, quickly following along.
Itâs worth mentioning that the Double-Sailed Dragon did not strongly resist being ridden by Blood Spider, nor did it show opposition when Yuan Hall, exhausted from running, slipped onto its back.
What made Blood Spider and Yuan Hall even more puzzled was that the direction the Double-Sailed Dragon was running in wide strides was exactly the direction the Molten Rock Dragon flew off in! Blood Spider and Yuan Hall didnât even need to adjust their direction.
"I understand now, that Molten Rock Dragon must be carrying a Boundary Stone! The Boundary Stone has a strong attraction for monsters in the Boundary Land, thatâs why this Double-Sailed Dragon is following it," Yuan Hall expressed his conjecture.
"But all the other dinosaurs scattered in different directions, they arenât following the Molten Rock Dragon." Blood Spider said.
Yuan Hall waved his hand confidently, and said, "It must be because the template isnât enough, this Double-Sailed Dragon is a Leader Level template, it has the qualification to compete for the Boundary Stone, the other dinosaurs donât have this qualification..."
Blood Spider frowned, looking at the giant Thunder Dragon running in large strides not far away, which was clearly a creature above Leader Level, and its fleeing direction was completely different from the Double-Sailed Dragon.
Regarding Yuan Hallâs speculation, Blood Spider shook his head in disbelief.
...
Henggu Plain.
The Molten Rock Dragon glided and nosedived.
Bai Pu clung tightly to the base of the left wing on the back of the Molten Rock Dragon.
Haotian was in quite a predicament, constantly being suppressed by Bai Pu, he could only cling to the thick leg of the Molten Rock Dragon below it.
In the process, whenever there was an opportunity, Bai Pu would brandish a sword and slash at Haotian, who was miserably complaining. It was also because of the severe vibrations that Bai Pu found it hard to perform the Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts, otherwise, Haotian would have already been brought down.
Now, the Molten Rock Dragon began to glide downwards, relatively steady.
Amidst the howling strong winds, Bai Pu finally gathered the Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts.
Boom!
A sword enveloped with the phantom of collapsing mountains slashed out, cutting towards Haotianâs arm.
Haotian had no time to dodge, a dull crack sounded as his arm was severed, and even the sturdy leg of the Molten Rock Dragon sustained a deep gash, scales scattered.
Haotian screamed in pain, tumbling down along with his severed arm.
However, in mid-air, Haotianâs cloak quickly inflated like a small parachute, slowing his falling speed.
After landing, Haotian was driven by inertia, sloppily rolling on the ground a few times. His body covered with turf and leaves, disheveled, his severed arm a piercing pain.
Looking up at the sky, the Molten Rock Dragon had turned into a tiny red dot.
"Gangxinââ"
Haotian roared to the sky. He was still not reconciled, wanting to pursue the direction the Molten Rock Dragon flew.
"Eh, isnât this Haotian?"
Amidst heavy footsteps, Yuan Hall and Blood Spider appeared dramatically, riding the Double-Sailed Dragon.
Yuan Hall showed a friendly smile: "Haotian, with such a severe injury, you should rest well, where are you planning to go?"
Blood Spider didnât have so many twists and turns, raising the hand crossbow, firing the crossbow arrow with rapid succession.
Haotian: ...
Yuan Hall sighed: "I initially wanted to proceed with courtesy before force. Nothing more to say, letâs fight."
...
On the back of the Molten Rock Dragon.
The recent sword had injured the Molten Rock Dragonâs thigh; this massive creature clearly knew there was another enemy on its body, and commenced erratic flying, various aerial stops, and direction changes, attempting to shake Bai Pu off.
"You troublesome fellow was driven away. Now itâs your turn."
Bai Pu, with one hand gripping tightly to the root of the Molten Rock Dragonâs fleshy wing, raised the great sword with his right hand, aiming at the Dragonâs wing, slashing down.
Screechââ
The molting membrane of the Molten Rock Dragonâs wing was torn open, instantly losing flight balance, slanting forward and downward.
With a bang, the massive body of the Molten Rock Dragon crash-landed, leaving a long trench in the wasteland of the Henggu Plain.
Bai Pu was also flung out by the massive inertia, his hand still tightly clutching a slender wing bone of the Molten Rock Dragon.
This wasnât due to insufficient power determination causing him to be flung away, it was because the wing bone was forcibly dislocated and detached by Bai Pu.
Bai Pu rolled on the ground over ten times, shook his head, and got up swiftly.
By now, the Molten Rock Dragon had also risen, vibrating its single wing, attempting to take off.
Attempted takeoff failed.
Bai Pu picked up the great sword and strode largely towards the Molten Rock Dragon.
"Come on, I shall see, without the environment of the Magma Lake, without the ability to fly in the sky... how much strength you have left!"
The Molten Rock Dragonâs life force was incredibly vigorous.
Even losing the ability to fly, and without the environmental enhancement, its 20,000 plus Life Value, fixed 200 points of damage reduction, and its entire bodyâs scale armor resembling solidified molten rock... still granted it formidable survival capabilities.
However, Bai Pu possessed the Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts, the strongest shield-breaking and fortified assault capability Mystical Art!
With a resounding boom, amidst the phantom of collapsing mountains, the Lava Armor on the surface of the Molten Rock Dragon exploded as if loaded with high explosives.
The inner dark red layer of muscle became exposed. This part lost the protection of the Lava Armor, drastically reducing its armor value to just tens of points.
Liquid magma form blood gurgled.
The Claw Strike and Charge of the Molten Rock Dragon were powerful hunting skills; combined with its attribute of over two hundred power assessments, getting hit even once would send one flying far away into a long-lasting state of dizziness.
Simply put, the damage wasnât very high, but the accompanying abnormal status was extremely annoying, often getting hit once, you wouldnât escape getting hit a second, third time!
Bai Pu had suffered once before, and now resolutely refused to greedily output, using his combat specialization for precise vision, he would always wait for the after-action lag of the Molten Rock Dragonâs attack to give it a vicious hit, then swiftly retreat to evade.
Whenever Bai Pu decided to dodge, the Molten Rock Dragon found it very difficult to hit him. After all, Bai Puâs agility was 66 points, not much less than the Molten Rock Dragonâs 80 points of agility.
The massive size of the Molten Rock Dragon provided high force increases but greatly reduced its agility advantage; its 80 agility pointsâ attack speed was merely equivalent to three or four dozen agility points for humanoid creatures.
Bai Pu could easily dodge, even the innate skills like Flaming Breath and Hot Wind, Bai Pu could completely evade with Gang Step.
The battle was somewhat deadlocked, the high Blood Volume and damage reduction of the Molten Rock Dragon against Bai Puâs Blood River Fighting Qi.
It depended on which side would first become unsustainable.
To supplement his output, Bai Pu even activated the active effect of the Scorpion-tailed Lionâs Sting.
Regrettably, this bit of output was a drop in the bucket before the Molten Rock Dragonâs fixed damage reduction of 180 points. The Scorpion-tailed Lionâs Sting, a Gold Level accessory, was gradually becoming outdated.
