Although it is far from comparable to a regular adult dragon, it can mature elite-level Warcraft mounts through spells. The Dragonmaw Clan does have two skills in taming dragons.
"Whoosh!"
Vereesa took the lead and shot two consecutive arrows, trying to blind the red dragon's eyes.
But the red dragon simply closed its eyelids and blocked these two sharp arrows.
"It's a bit troublesome."
Vereesa frowned slightly: "This guy has inherited the physical fitness of the dragon clan to a certain extent, and is much harder to deal with than ordinary monsters."
Switching the ordinary arrows to the special armor-piercing arrows, Vereesa once again aimed at the red dragon that had crawled out of the swamp.
"Buy me some time, and I'll see if I can penetrate its dragon scales with a long-charged aimed shot."
"OK."
Sarlayan, whose blood began to boil, rushed out without saying a word with his sword on his shoulder. Valeera, who had just pulled Ronin out of the pit, didn't even have time to stop him.
"Hey~ this guy is still so reckless."
Valeela took a closer look at the red dragon, which was covered in solid scales, and bared her teeth helplessly.
"...How do I start with this?"
While preparing the spell, Luo Ning said to Valeela: "This kind of enemy with strong defense is not suitable for thieves. You should retreat to the outside and be on guard. If someone comes, remember to notify us as soon as possible."
When there is a certain gap between the target's strength and that of a thief, unless he is holding an artifact, the thief's small dagger will not be able to penetrate the red dragon's scales, and poisoning will naturally be out of the question.
"Okay, that's all."
After sneaking on the spot and disappearing, Valeera took out her telescope and observed the outside of the battle area. As a result, she discovered something.
A small group of heavily armed Dragonmaw soldiers were approaching from a distance. They must have noticed the movement of the red dragon as it fell to the ground.
Every red dragon is a valuable asset of the Dragonmaw Clan, and we should try our best to save them if possible.
Looking back at the three teammates who were fighting fiercely with the red dragon, Valeera did not disturb them for the time being.
She used local materials and the help of the environment to start making simple traps.
"drink!"
There is no point in taunting a degraded red dragon with low intelligence. Sarlayan did not do anything fancy, and honestly used the battle cry for the first time to increase the attack damage and morale of his teammates.
"clang!"
The demon-slayer's sword was struck head-on by the red dragon, who raised his left front paw to block it. The sword's edge collided with the red dragon's scales, making a sound of gold and iron clashing.
After all, the Demon Slayer Great Sword is one of the treasures collected by the Sunstrider royal family, and the royal enchanter has also made some enhancements to it.
Although it could not completely break through the red dragon's defense, the sharp blade still cut a trace of blood on its scales.
"Roar!"
Feeling the new pain, the furious red dragon subconsciously wanted to raise his right paw to give Sharlayan a hard blow.
But as soon as it raised its hand, it affected the internal injuries caused by the Storm Hammer. Its movement was half a beat slow, and Sharlayan seized the opportunity and stepped back to avoid it.
Facing an elite-level Warcraft for the first time, Sarlayan showed no signs of stage fright.
Since he only wore light leather armor and was not encumbered by heavy armor, Sarlayan's movements were quite flexible and he was able to shoulder the task of attracting firepower close to his body.
The battle bow in Vereesa's hand shimmered, and her charging and aiming had not yet been completed.
Luo Ning's spell was just ready.
Since the red dragon is inherently resistant to flames, he did not choose his best fire spell, but instead created a series of arcane missiles.
The continuously fired arcane missiles hit the red dragon's chest. Although it could not cause defense-breaking damage, it also slowed down its counterattack speed to a certain extent and distracted its attention.
Seizing the moment when the red dragon turned his attention to Ronin, Sharlayan activated the special effects of the Demon Slayer Greatsword.
"boom!"
The zero-range arcane impact slightly bounced away the red dragon's right claw used to block, revealing a very small defensive loophole.
Sharlayan seized this opportunity and used his charge to dodge into the red dragon's arms, bypassing its claws' defense range.
After releasing the weapon's special effects, the Demon Slayer Greatsword needs a period of self-charging before releasing arcane impact at once.
But this does not affect the capabilities of the weapon itself.
With the help of the impact, the sword thrust finally pierced the scales on the red dragon's chest, leaving a medium-deep puncture wound on its chest.
"Roar!"
Unable to defend itself with its claws, the painful red dragon chose to use its mouth directly.
"Suck~"
Seeing the red dragon puffing up its chest and inhaling, Sarlayan immediately understood its intention.
Luo Ning also shouted from behind: "Be careful of the fire-breathing!"
Inserting the Demon Slayer's sword into the ground, Sarlayan took out a tower shield from the space package that could protect most of his body.
"Boom!"
Slamming the lower edge of the tower shield into the ground, Sarlayan shrank his body as much as possible and hid behind the shield.
"hold head high!"
The next moment, blazing dragon's breath spurted out from the mouth of the red dragon. Sarlayan, who held up his shield, was like a rock in the flood. The scorching dragon's breath was pushed away by the big shield and spurted out from both sides of him to the rear.
"Bah!"
In just a few seconds, the tower shield made of fine steel was burned red by the high temperature, and Sarlayan's leather gloves emitted the unpleasant smell of being smoked by fire.
If the dragon wants to breathe fire, it needs to accumulate energy first, and it is impossible to maintain the state of breathing dragon breath for a long time.
The moment the flames disappeared, Sarlayan decisively threw away the somewhat deformed tower shield.
Taking advantage of the situation, he pulled out the Demon Slayer sword stuck at his side. Before the red dragon could close its mouth, Sarlayan boldly rushed into its mouth under Ronin's stunned gaze.
He used the strong sword as a support pillar to force open the red dragon's upper and lower jaws, making it temporarily unable to close its mouth.
"Vereesa! It's up to you!"
"coming!"
The surface of the fully charged armor-piercing arrow flashed with a faint arcane shimmer, and it flew past Sarlayan's body with precision, and penetrated directly into the red dragon's throat.
The external defenses of dragons' bodies are very strong, but their internal bodies are no different from ordinary creatures.
The armor-piercing arrows that drove straight through tore through a large number of mucous membranes and capillaries in the red dragon's body, and were eventually inserted into the outer wall of its esophagus, causing great pain to the red dragon.
"Woo!"
Unable to shut up after being stuck by the sword, the angry red dragon forcibly breathed out his dragon's breath again, and a ball of fiery red flames emerged from the depths of his throat.
Vereesa and Ronin noticed this scene at the same time.
"Salayan, retreat!"
The two people standing in the distance could see it, and it was impossible to ignore Sarlayan who was so close.
But seeing it is one thing, being able to react is another.
When Sarlayan was about to jump out, he realized that he was running out of time.
"Tsk! I can only take a gamble."
Cross your arms in front of your body to protect your head and chest.
A layer of fine pale golden scales appeared on the surface of Sarlayan's flesh and blood, covering his forehead and most of his face.
Vereesa and Luo Ning were far away and could not see the details of the scene, but the barrage suddenly began to riot.
"Holy shit! Am I dazzled?"
"Golden dragon scales?! There is no golden dragon among the five guardian dragons, right?"
"Of course not. This is not an invincible hero. The only one with a similar color is the bronze dragon."
"The tone of the bronze dragon's scales is darker, more like the color of yellow sand. Sarlayan is..."
"I originally thought that Inas was a red dragon, but now the truth has become confusing again."
Sarlayan had no time to look at the barrage at this moment, as the small stream of dragon's breath spurted from the red dragon's throat was already right in front of him.
"boom!"
Ronin and Vereesa watched helplessly as Sarlayan was hit head-on by the dragon's breath, and their heartbeats seemed to skip half a beat.
"Damn it!"
Vereesa, who was more experienced, did not waste any time in daze. When the red dragon opened its eyes and focused all its attention on its mouth, she immediately bent her bow and nocked an arrow, and shot two arrows at the same time.
This time, the red dragon, who was distracted, failed to react and close his eyes in time, and his two ferocious vertical pupils were hit by arrows almost at the same time.
"Ouch!"
Completely losing sight, the red dragon rolled on the ground in pain after breathing out its breath, and a large amount of scarlet blood shot out from its eyes.
"You called me a horse!"
A figure whose whole body was charred gradually emerged from the flames that had not completely dissipated.
Before Vereesa, who had activated the Eagle Eye Technique, could see the situation clearly, the red dragon's upper and lower jaws suddenly closed with its mouth wide open, and a series of chaotic tearing and explosion sounds came from its body.
