In the continent of Faerûn, the Green-footed Dragon Snake is a relatively rare super-large magical beast. The curved sharp horns on their heads look scary, but they are actually just scale decorations and have no practical use.
They may look rather ferocious, but in fact, green-footed dragon snakes are not always evil. When someone breaks into their lair, they usually launch an attack first.
If the intruder is seriously injured or killed during the attack, they will think that the weak intruder is not qualified to communicate with them, and will kill and devour them mercilessly.
They will only be willing to communicate with the intruder after the intruder can withstand their sneak attack at a small cost.
Adventurers can use their excellent eloquence and pay some treasures to bribe the green-footed dragon snakes. As long as they can make them feel respected and the treasures are of sufficient value, adventurers can usually avoid a difficult battle.
"You have angered me, humble human beings, and you will pay the price."
The giant monster howled in rage and agony before making threatening noises in Common.
In fact, although the green-footed dragon snakes look like dragonborn, they actually do not speak dragon language. They are often mistaken for descendants of blue dragons.
After all, the color of their scales and lightning breath have too much in common with blue dragons.
But most dragons don't think so, and despise their low intelligence, often openly mocking green-footed dragon snakes for this reason.
Therefore, green-footed dragon snakes usually retain hatred for dragon creatures and will actively kill or expel dragon creatures in their territory. If they cannot expel or kill them, they will leave on their own initiative.
"Your Excellency, we have no intention of offending you. We are willing to offer precious treasures as compensation for accidentally intruding into your territory."
John said, his eloquence is obviously not very good
He first glanced at Victor, who was adjusting his breath with his eyes closed, and then looked at the status of the team: a dragonborn warlock using light spells, an exhausted barbarian defender, and a half-elf whose hand was trembling slightly as he drew the bowstring.
Ranger
Only he and the halfling rogues retain a certain fighting capacity, and as a paladin, his magic has been exhausted.
Even if their team is at its peak, they dare not say that they can defeat an adult green-footed dragon snake in this environment.
John said and looked at Satara, who took out a gold kettle, a small bag of pearls, and three gems of various colors from her backpack.
John took the treasure handed over by Satara and placed it in front of the boulder platform.
"It's not enough. Mortal, you have to add her. I smell the dragon bastard on her."
The green-footed dragon snake stared at Shatara fiercely and said, while revealing more of its body, and the scales on its neck spread out, making it look even more ferocious.
"Ah~ Your Excellency, we are willing to pay double the treasure and leave your territory immediately. She is just a humble mortal who accidentally entered your territory. I hope you can ignore the offense of this tiny and despicable creature."
As he spoke, John looked at Shatara again, who in fear handed John the Silent Incense Burner and a bronze mirror glowing with green light.
Although she has a lot of adventure experience and believes in the ethics of the paladin, facing a behemoth at such a close distance still makes her hands tremble slightly.
John once again took the items handed over by Shatara and gave the latter a comforting look. At the same time, he placed his beloved fluorescent orb on the stone together with many other items.
"These are all our valuable treasures. I dedicate them to you in the hope that you will forgive us for our offense."
The green-footed dragon snake lowered its ferocious head 10 feet away from the boulder, and scanned the items on the ground. He looked at the adventurers in front of him one by one.
"Oh ho~~"
It roared at everyone and then said:
"Add him, he will have to pay the price for offending the great Maricles, Jie Jie Jie!"
Its eyes stopped on Victor and let out an evil laugh
"Leave the treasure with him, before I lose my patience, agree or die!"
The adventurers looked at each other with ugly expressions, and then looked at Victor and John together.
Victor opened his eyes with a strong sense of malice, frowned and looked at the monster in front of him
He was just trying to heal the injuries to his lungs and back, and he couldn't understand the conversation between John and the monster. He was quite curious about the fact that a "Neptune type" could talk.
Yes, in Victor's opinion, this is just a moray eel with long legs. With a body length of more than ten meters, it can only be called a sea king. As for jet lightning and the like, it can only be said that the sea is wide enough, what does it look like?
Strange sea beasts are likely to appear. This one with 12 legs can only be considered a little curious at best.
For sea beasts of this size, Victor would kill one or two almost every month when he was in the Nanhai Branch.
But the guy in front of me is obviously more imposing. Judging from his movements, he is more flexible and vigorous than ordinary sea beasts. He should be more difficult to deal with.
Victor said that his physical injuries were not optimistic. He had just forcibly punched with a razor-sharp armor, which had already worsened the lung injury that had recovered slightly, and the sword wound on his back was also on the verge of splitting.
"We must resolve quickly"
The adventurers fell into a brief silence. Victor had no idea what they had just communicated with the monster, but the growing malice forced him to act.
He took two difficult steps to come to John's side and put his left hand on John's shoulder. John stretched out his hand to support him and asked him something. Naturally, Victor couldn't understand. With his right hand, he asked the captain
The short knife on his waist pointed at
John was a little surprised, hesitated, and then took off the steel dagger and handed it to Wei.
Victor raised the knife and walked slowly in front of everyone
This is a mountain knife forged by a dwarf master. It is no more than two feet long, with a straight back and a straight edge. The edge has just been polished and maintained, and it is quite sharp.
It's a pity that Victor's old friend "Green Ghost", one of the 21 sharp swordsmen, is not around, so he can only use this short sword to make ends meet.
"I didn't expect that I would be reduced to the point where I could only rely on swordsmanship to make a comeback (Japanese)" Victor held the sword in his right hand and stroked the back of the sword with his left hand.
After looking for the center of gravity of the dagger, the hand holding the knife tightened. I saw a black film extending from the hand holding the dagger to the blade, until the dagger completely turned black.
[Armed color winding]
The green-footed dragon snake suddenly retracted its head to the top of the cave, its scales exploded, and its pupils shrank.
It has a feeling of being targeted by predators higher up the food chain. It has never encountered this kind of situation since it got out of its infancy.
The aura emitted by this mortal before him reminded him of some bad experiences.
The breath of death stimulated its instinct as a magical beast, and a blue light emitted from its lower jaw and throat as it prepared to breathe.
It's a pity that we don't have more time to let it spit lightning
A flying slash in the shape of a "one" came quickly. The green-footed dragon snake only had time to turn its head away, but its body was still too big, and the sword light hit the middle of its body.
[Half Moon: Cut with one word]
Like a hot knife cutting through butter, the slash cut the Green-footed Dragon Snake's body diagonally into two pieces.
Blood gushes out from the break like a fountain, and it falls from the top of the cave.
The severe pain caused two sections of the giant beast's body to roll and wail in the water. It banged its head against the rock wall crazily, and was about to break up the boulder where everyone was living.
The adventurers were still in shock and did not dare to speak out.
Another slash came from the short sword, hitting the head of the crazy green-footed dragon snake and cutting it in half.
[Half Moon: 1 word cut]
Both segments of its body lost strength at the same time, leaving only the twitching movement of muscles.
Victor could no longer maintain the posture of wielding the knife, and could only close his eyes and half kneel on the ground.
A large amount of blood gushed out from the mouth and nose again
These two slashes are actually the result of splitting his commonly used sword move [Half Moon: Cross Slash].
This was what he was inspired by when he saw Hawkeye's amazingly powerful slash that cut off an iceberg during the War on the Summit being dodged by Wang Lufei as soon as he raised his head.
[Cross Slash] is a quick vertical and horizontal flying slash. The horizontal slash is 180°, and the vertical slashes are continuous. Compared with a simple horizontal slash or vertical slash, it is more difficult to dodge.
Due to the injury on his body, Victor did not dare to release it quickly and continuously. The load on the body would increase several times. In his current state, he was unable to perform it, so he could only slightly stagger the two attacks.
Fortunately, this "sea beast" could not avoid it, otherwise Victor would have no strength to strike the third blow.
John quickly stepped forward and helped Victor to prevent him from falling. He had already fallen into hemorrhagic shock.
"Taimo La! So we picked up a legendary sword master in the Twisted Jungle? Was that [Qi Lifting Slash] just now?"
As Doso said, he jumped from the darkness onto the stone and put a bottle of black potion back into his waist bag.
It was a potent poison he made himself, specializing in the eyes and noses of large creatures. It could even temporarily blind an adult dragon and temporarily disable its sense of smell - Lime Powder·Fantasy Edition
Doso had been hiding in the darkness just now, looking like he was running away. In fact, if John and the Green-footed Dragon Snake broke down, he would be the first to take action.
He will use the first attack advantage of [Shadow Leap] to rush to the head of the Green-footed Dragon Snake, use poison to blind the monster, and buy time for the team members.
Unexpectedly, while waiting for the captain's signal, Victor slashed such a terrifying monster to death with two knives. He was so frightened that he immediately exited the disguise state.
