Xiaoshuai wanted to swing his head and use the tip of the huge horn to cause more damage to the tail blade.
But seeing that explosive minerals had accumulated at Zhanlongkou, he had no choice but to push back.
Oops! After the sharp horn is pulled out, a hole-shaped hole pierces the wound and appears in the middle of the tail blade.
After widening the distance, the two dragons looked at each other, their feet slowly moved sideways, and they entered into a confrontation again.
Not long after, Xiaoshuai raised his head and released his charging posture.
Upon seeing this, Zhanlong put the tail blade behind him and let it fall naturally into the sand.
"Both sides are not prepared to continue fighting. It's time for us to take action."
Li Fan lifted up the camouflage net full of withered yellow leaves, stood up and took out the signal flare of the Cat Rescue Team, ignited it and fired it into the sky.
Bang! The thick black smoke that exploded high in the sky quickly spread out into a black cat head shape.
Xiaoshuai glanced at the broken corners in the sand. Although he was reluctant, he still dug with his claws and wings on the ground.
A bulge appeared on the sand, and the smoke receded.
Hiss! The surface of Zhanlong cooled down rapidly, the dark red carapace on its back gradually hardened, the orange-yellow tail blade gradually turned blue, and the cold metallic texture reappeared.
Huh~huh~
Zhanlong lowered his head and panted vigorously in a slow rhythm. His saliva fell onto the sand along his fangs. He seemed very tired.
While the team was waiting for the rescue team, they were also waiting for Zhanlong to enter the cave.
In this way, the puff battle will not be restricted by the sand. After the synovial fluid is spread over a large area, it will be difficult for the Dragon Slayer in front of you to be your opponent.
However, things went against expectations. Zhanlong rested for a moment, turned around, and started on the sandy plain in the direction away from the cave entrance.
"They're probably looking for food. Let's keep an eye on them from high altitude first."
Li Fan didn't want to wait for Zhan Long to eat before joining the fight, but when the rescue team arrived and entered the cave, none of the favorable conditions were met, so he had to follow them first.
By observing the circular puncture wound on the tail blade, Li Fan found that the interior was an Oreo structure composed of metal melting material on both sides, wrapped in a fleshy carapace.
If the carapace and flesh are separated, it means that the tip of the giant horn has as many as five layers of protection against impact and penetration.
In the future, you should be more cautious when encountering explosive five-star monsters.
Intuitively feeling the terror of the ceratopsian, Li Fan felt that he had to be a little more steady, otherwise he would be in trouble if he was hit by such an attack, and even the cat rescue team would be unable to help.
Two hours passed, and after brutally hunting three armored dragons, Zhanlong continued to move forward.
"Is this because I feel the area is unsafe and I plan to change the nest?"
Li Fan speculated.
"If we go to new areas, our arrangements are not sufficient."
Eudora looked at the map and frowned slightly.
"Don't, isn't it just a fight? We won't have to move."
Li Fan looked at Zhan Long walking alone on the ground, feeling a little depressed for a moment.
Bang! The black cat head pattern exploded in the distance.
Li Fan thought for a moment, fired another bomb at the current location, and after giving the positioning mark, decided: "We can't delay it any longer, attack!"
The little fool swung his wings sideways and quickly lowered his altitude.
Ye Ye was released first, lurked under the little fool for a moment, and flew towards Zhan Long.
The sand was still as hot as ever, and after standing still every night, it made two cooing sounds.
Regardless of whether Zhan Long noticed it or not, the blue wings suddenly opened and his head kept swinging in a circular motion.
Zhanlong, who noticed something strange, turned his head and looked around, and immediately became alert.
Because it was this bird that fell into a coma last time, and was almost knocked down by a Diegrosaurus in mid-air.
It can be seen that at night, Zhanlong has been enveloped by the hypnotic sound waves. Since he is not clear about the relationship between evasion and prevention, Zhanlong, who has not even started the confrontation, only feels that his eyelids are getting heavier and heavier.
Not long after, his head hit the sand, and his whole body fell sideways.
Huh~huh~ Snot bubbles pop up one after another.
The little fool landed far away, Li Fan took back Yeye and released Shasha.
Lowering his voice, he slowly approached twenty meters away, and Shasha began to dig a hole in the sand with his crest and carapace.
However, unlike the hole to be drilled into, this sand pit is not dug very deep, only half a person's height, and it is dug into a long strip.
When the ditch-shaped sand pit was about to be dug, Li Fan released his absolute main force, Puff.
As soon as it appeared on the ground, the fluff and scales under Puff's body were covered with sand and dust.
Under high temperatures, the water on the body surface evaporates rapidly, which makes puffs particularly uncomfortable.
But seeing Zhan Long sleeping on the sand, Puff narrowed his eyes slightly and didn't question anything.
"Puff, spray some water to reinforce the sand pit ditch."
Li Fan guided.
Puff raised his neck, and a stream of water spurted into the sand pit.
This kind of reinforcement may not seem to be of much significance, but at least it can ensure that when the battle causes ground vibrations, the sand layer will not collapse and be filled back.
After the water injection and fixation was completed, the puff continued to secrete and release foaming synovial fluid. However, even though the surrounding sand was wet, it still could not slide the body quickly on it.
The lack of gliding mobility is undoubtedly extremely disadvantageous for Puff, who has a slender body without the protection of a thick carapace.
But Zhan Long had just eaten, and the longer it took him to fall asleep, the better his condition would recover.
Fortunately, this was already part of the team's plan.
"The main force in this battle is turning to us."
Li Fan informed.
"I've been looking forward to it for a long time."
Eudora, who was fastening her wrist armor, looked eager to try.
Di Lu heard that a small box was brought. After opening it, in addition to a red horn flute, it was also filled with bottles of potions and various spherical fruits.
Li Fan and Eudora looked at each other, and as if they were competing for speed, they opened the cap of the potion bottle and started drinking.
Ghost medicine, hardening medicine, forceful medicine
After Li Fan drank three bottles in a row, he picked up a strange seed and put it in his mouth and chewed it quickly.
Dilu opened a cotton bag, revealing shiny red ghost dust.
The two cat claws were raised upward with force, and the entire team was enveloped in dust.
Ha~hu~ha~hu
Seeing that both Li Fan and Di Lu were breathing hard, Eudora asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"
"The ghost dust acts on the respiratory tract, so you can inhale more, otherwise it would be a big loss."
Li Fan explained.
"Okay, then this blanket on the floor is meant to be recycled and reused next time, right?"
Eudora asked.
"How is it possible? The dust is so big. It has been contaminated during the falling process. Humans will get respiratory diseases if they inhale large amounts."
"Then this is"
"This is for Puff."
"For Puff?"
"Um."
When Li Fan saw that the dust had almost fallen, he picked up the blanket and ran to Puff to shake it off.
Puff's eyes were speechless, but after inhaling a little red dust, a surge of excitement surged from his body.
"It turns out that ghost dust is also effective on puffs."
Eudora said unexpectedly.
"More than that, after it is fully absorbed, there will probably be a vacuole containing ghost solvent in the bubbles released by the puff. This should be triggered by applying it to the surface of the skin. If I can't reach it later, it will burst.
I’ll leave the matter to you.”
"All right"
Eudora also didn't expect that there was such a way to enhance strength.
Di Lu hung the ghost flute around his neck and read the music score, while Li Fan and Eudora slowly approached the Zhanlong.
The pierced round hole was currently the weakest link of the tail blade. Li Fan gently inserted a Ye Ye feather on the sand outside to use it as a target for Puff.
Both men drew their weapons.
"If something unexpected happens to me, please ask someone to develop the investigation agency. I believe that with your ability, you will be able to fulfill the hunting contract one day."
Eudora asked.
"Don't be so heavy, okay? The cat rescue team should be in place. If the timing is good enough, the little fool will swoop down to help. The weaker party will be the one to kill the dragon."
Li Fan encouraged.
Eudora thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes!"
On Puff's side, after his four claws sank into the wet sand, he still couldn't fix his body.
The cutting ray with super strong recoil will definitely not be used, and the attack can only be carried out with water ray.
After everything was ready, Li Fan stood on Zhanlong's head, raised his Zanpakutō vertically on his right shoulder, and assumed a charging posture.
Eudora came to the tail blade and raised the sword from the side to charge up.
Di Lu stood in the middle, puffed up her chest, took a deep breath, and blew the ghost flute.
Toot~? Toot~? Toot~?
Uh, it sounds terrible, but when exposed to sound waves, the power seems to emerge again.
With several power increases, Li Fan felt that his body was stronger than ever before, as if he could split mountains and crack rocks with just one slash.
Phew! Phew!!!
The water ray directly hit the tail blade, and the sea-blue metal smelting material quickly shattered and peeled off. Zhanlong noticed something strange in his sleep, and subconsciously raised the tail blade.
However, in an instant, under the heavy blow of the shield crab's sword, it bounced back heavily into the sand.
Zhan Long woke up and immediately entered fighting mode. He exerted force on the outside of his thigh that was pressed against the ground. After standing up, he found a human holding a blade standing in front of him.
Huh! The tail blade slashed across the ground, scraping out a string of explosive sparks. Zhanlong thrust his head forward and let out a fierce roar!
"Oh! That hunter is going to be finished! Charge! Charge! Charge!"
Elle, the melon cat sitting on the tablet in the distance, seemed to have foreseen the scene of Li Fan being yelled at, covering his ears with a knife, and being hit hard, so he quickly directed the rescue team to rush forward.
The sound wave that swept through the sand and dust was completely offset by the impact behind the protective barrier of courage. Li Fan retracted his sword and quickly retreated.
"Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw!"
Eller quickly issued a rollback command.
Zhanlong didn't pay attention to Li Fan's state, because he had already noticed the puff in the distance.
Puff slapped its front paws on the ground and let out a very provocative growl.
Although this scene looks a bit chaotic, there is no doubt that Puff is the biggest threat at the moment.
The vibrations in the dragon's throat heat up the explosive minerals, causing the body surface to heat up rapidly, and traces of hot air to escape from the carapace.
After stepping forward for a certain distance, his body suddenly turned sideways, driving the tail blade to slash down vertically.
Puff used all four claws to slide awkwardly on the sand and moved sideways for a short distance, barely avoiding the falling tail blade.
Boom! A burnt brown dent appeared. Zhanlong retracted his tail, and when he wanted to attack again, he unexpectedly discovered that Puff was missing.
Only a bunch of huge bubbles and a human hunter running fast were left.
When! Feeling the heavy blow on his toes, Zhanlong raised his foot and kicked it sideways.
After Eudora rolled to avoid it, she did not stop attacking and continued to slash with her sword.
This chaotic scene made Zhanlong immediately anxious.
Seeing that the other party was about to yell again, Li Fan drew his sword and once again assumed a courageous posture.
Roar!!!
Courage was successfully injected, and he sheathed his sword again, turned around and retreated.
Recalling the light blue fluorescence lingering around the blade, Li Fan felt that the dragon-slaying roar had a good effect on charging the courage gauge, but it was still a bit too slow for actual combat.
And if he doesn't draw his sword, even if his courage gauge is fully charged, he won't have any Qi left to practice.
"Eudora! Take my place!"
Hearing the shout, Eudora immediately sheathed her sword and ran away.
"I'm here!"
Under Li Fan's vigorous shouting, Zhanlong turned his head and hit his eye with a flash bomb.
Whoosh! Golden light flashes!
Ouch! Zhanlong let out a low roar, stepped back slightly, and then shook his head frequently and turned his body around. Apparently, he lost his vision due to the explosion.
Bang! The Zanpakutō struck the red scales on the leg, causing a lavender electric flower to appear.
Although the scales cannot be completely cut, as long as the distance is mastered, the knife will not flick. In terms of sharpness, it is the highest among the tachis that Li Fan has ever used.
The disadvantage is that the blade is too thin, causing it to wear out too quickly.
Li Fan had only made three cuts, and he could already feel the frustration of the cuts.
Zhanlong, who kept twisting in place, quickly regained his sight and realized that the pain in his feet came from a hunter.
Using his two claws, he suddenly jumped into the air, twisted his body, and smashed his tail blade down.
Well, instructor Yin Tie is right, who can welcome this kind of thing!
Li Fan looked at the huge tail blade hanging high in the sky, rolled sideways, stood up, gripped the handle of the knife tightly, and began to gather strength.
boom!
Sand, flames, and explosive debris hit the barrier of courage.
Although there was no direct hit, the huge impact after the tail blade hit still caused the originally strong courage barrier to deform.
Thanks to the strong enough impact, the courage gauge was immediately filled up.
Zhanlong retracted his tail blade and found that the human hunter in front of him was unharmed, which was quite surprising.
Li Fan held the sword horizontally in front of him in a standard holding posture and slowly approached it.
The training energy and courage on the Zanpakutō blended together, giving off a bluish glow.
call!
Li Fan stopped and waved vertically out of thin air.
"come!!!"
Faced with the provocation from a tiny human, Zhanlong's eyelids twitched slightly, and he swung his body and was about to strike, when he suddenly realized that the explosive minerals accumulated in his throat had been heated to a liquid state, so he raised his tail blade and put it in his mouth to start burning.
Li Fan was not in a hurry to attack, so he took out a sharpening stone from his waist and polished the Zanpakutō.
One man and one dragon faced each other and began to sharpen their knives.
"Oh! This hunter is not an ordinary hunter. He not only dares to face the Dragon Slayer, but also fights with rare courage, meow!"
Eller exclaimed.
After being dipped and heated with liquid minerals, the color of the tail blade quickly turns orange.
After Li Fan tried his best to keep his mind calm, he began to think in his mind.
If the rigid air blade slash wants to bounce back to the tail blade instead of the impact of the tail blade, the distance cannot be too far.
Rolling definitely won't work. Firstly, it won't inspire insight. Secondly, by the time you get up, the tail blade will have already fallen down.
At this distance, the only way to avoid the cassock is to cut it first.
The cassock cut that Li Fan was thinking of, also known as the displacement cut, is a cut with the body swinging sideways when swinging the sword, accompanied by displacement. It is mostly used when retreating.
Zhan Long adjusted his pace slightly, stepped back a little, and turned around violently.
Phew~ The hot tail blade pierced the air and slashed forward.
Buzz! The scenery in the field of vision was distorted and deformed. Li Fan exerted force on his legs and jumped to the side, and at the same time, his Zanpakutō was swung horizontally in front of him.
The tail blade with holes fell from in front of him, and Li Fan's face was reflected orange.
The Zanpakutō was swung upwards diagonally, resisting the fall of the tail blade, and at the same time, the energy and courage dispersed blended together, turning into a ball of blue light and exploding into pieces.
The orange giant blade collided with the slender Zanpakutō, looking completely out of proportion.
Ding! A crisp sound.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The tail blade was lifted, and Zhan Long took several steps back before he could maintain his balance.
Li Fan looked at the blade and continued to move forward with a normal expression.
Zhan Long looked around suspiciously before confirming that there was no one else assisting him.
Ouch
"This move is called Rigid Air Blade Slash. Do you want to learn it? I'll teach you."
Faced with low roars, Li Fan seemed particularly calm.
Zhan Long opened his mouth violently, liquid minerals filled his mouth, black smoke swirled, and fire flickered.
"Well, I haven't practiced the reverse head attack. How about continuing to attack with the tail blade?"
Li Fan discussed with a embarrassed look on his face.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
What Li Fan responded to was three balls of liquid explosive minerals spitting out.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After the explosion, Li Fan's eyes were filled with black smoke.
Gah! Gah!
There was a teeth-searing sound of biting.
"You've gone too far! Iai Whirlwind is coming! Get out of the way!"
Li Fan said as he put it into the sheath and ran away while waving away the black smoke.
After seeing the ditch dug by Shasha, he ran over and swooped down with a shovel, and he fell into it.
"Dillu is really fast."
Li Fan was a little surprised.
"I haven't gone out since I finished playing the ghost flute."
Dilu said frankly.
"Okay where's Eudora?"
Whoosh! Bang! Eudora, who was wearing shield crab armor, also fell in.
"Dillu is really fast."
Eudora was a little surprised.
"I haven't gone out since I finished playing the ghost flute, meow."
Di Lu thought to herself that this question seemed to have been answered just now.
"Okay, where's Li Fan?"
"Meow below you."
"Uh, why did you get into the sand?"
Eudora and Di Lu helped Li Fan up together.
The team just bent down against the sand layer and listened quietly to the noise outside.
Zhanlong's Iai Whirlwind Slash has a huge range and no blind spots at all.
In terms of power, based on actual observations, the heated tail blade can even cut off the horns of a Ceratopsian.
When hitting a human, Li Fan felt that even the top armor was at risk of being cut in half.
And apart from the slightly longer charging time, this move has no obvious weaknesses.
But there is a prerequisite, that is, the attack target must be on the surface.
Theoretically, you can dodge by flying down on the ground, because even if you swing the tail blade at an extreme angle, it will not be able to stick to the ground to launch an attack.
But since there is Shasha there, just dig a hole casually, there is no need to take risks.
The sounds of gnashing and twisting and tightening of the body became increasingly sharp.
Click! A crisp sound mixed with it caught Li Fan's attention.
"We're about to reach our limit."
"What's the limit?"
Eudora didn't know why.
"The tail blade of Zhan Long has been deepening since it was pierced by Xiao Shuai's sharp horn. After being attacked by the water ray, in order to enhance the attack of the tail blade, it was once again red-heated, and now it is released.
Iai Whirlwind Slash probably won't last long."
After Li Fan finished explaining, he looked at the fighting ball with a cross-blade pattern on his shoulder strap.
"Well, I also slashed with my sword and charged it up."
Eudora couldn't help but remind her.
"Well, it's also very important."
Phew~ A shining orange light flashed overhead, causing a circle of sand and dust to fly.
"Attack!"
Li Fan shouted, and the two climbed out of the sand pit together.
The burned black slag is spread all over the ground, and a few flames are still beating and burning.
On the other side of the black smoke, Zhanlong turned his head, stared at Li Fan for a moment, then looked at the cracked tail blade, and continued to move forward.
Hey! The sound of the Zanpakutō being unsheathed seemed to be magical, causing it to stop leaving.
Zhan Long turned his head again.
At this time, Li Fan imitated the way Zhanlong dragged his tail blade, and put his Zanpakutō behind him and dragged it.
Ouch!!!!
Zhan Long gasped twice and let out a sharp roar.
The redness that dispersed under the skin condensed and reignited again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Looking at the rushing dragon slayer, Li Fan held the sword in front of him and sighed: "It would be great if I could learn how to slay the dragon. I would definitely make you convinced that you lost."
Phew! Zhan Long leaps up, twisting the hot tail blade and smashing it down.
Ding! Click!
The half tail blade flipped around in the air for several weeks before being inserted vertically into the sand.
Phew~
The light blue light that lingered around the Zanpakutō overflowed and disappeared.
Li Fan wanted to remember this feeling of rebound, so he maintained the swinging posture for a long time before sheathing the sword.
Zhanlong, who fell heavily backward, struggled twice at a very slow rate, stood up and stared at the broken half of the tail blade without taking any action. His soul seemed to have been separated from his body.
"The speed, strength, and direction are all the same every time. A slash like yours cannot hurt me."
Zhanlong heard someone's voice and looked around.
Behind a piece of sandstone, Li Fan exposed half of his head and shouted: "Why don't you worship me as your teacher? Except for the Iai Slash, I have basically mastered the rest, and my skill in using it is among the top among hunters."
He also wanted to hold his head high and approach with great momentum.
It's a pity that the courage gauge has been exhausted. If Zhan Long is still not convinced, it would be really worthless to give him a bite.
Zhan Long lowered his head in frustration. He couldn't understand his attitude, but his fighting spirit was obviously gone.
"It seems that the blow of breaking the tail blade is really big for Zhanlong."
Di Lu felt that the dragon-slaying state was actually okay, but her attitude was too lazy to fight.
"Anyway, let's try to capture it first. Maybe you can adjust your mentality and everything will be fine."
After Li Fan finished speaking, he threw the fighting ball vigorously and rolled down to Zhanlong's feet.
Tsk! Tsk tsk
After a tremor that was weaker than the last, the capture of Zhan Long was achieved.
