Dragon the Princess Snatcher Chapter 7

Three crossbow arrows were all aimed at the red dragon's eyes and throat.

At the critical moment, Ryan Li suddenly stopped charging and retracted his snake-like neck to avoid.

One crossbow arrow missed, one hit his horn, creating sparks, and another stabbed the side of his face.

The stinging pain on the side of his face made Ryan Li squint his eyes. This crossbow arrow actually pierced his hard dragon scales.

Fortunately, the size of the crossbow arrow to him was just like a pen to a human, so it did not penetrate deeply and could only be considered a superficial injury.

His quick reaction surprised the knights present, and Garrett began to suspect that this red dragon had experience fighting dragon hunters before.

Most dragons would have a certain degree of confidence in their dragon scales. After all, to describe a real dragon's scales as strong as a wall of iron and steel would be a derogatory term.

The hardness of dragon scales exceeds that of almost all ordinary metals, making them truly invulnerable to swords and guns. They are also resistant to magic to a considerable extent, and their strength increases as the dragon grows.

A young true dragon that encounters a dragon-hunting crossbow for the first time will often suffer a loss.

When faced with human long-range weapons, they often don't even try to dodge, and by the time they're hit by a volley of fire and discover that the weapon can penetrate dragon scales, they may have been hit somewhere vital.

But Ryan Li inherited the memory of Drake being killed by this group of knights, and of course he knew the danger of these crossbows.

What's more, the information provided by Fiona is still fresh in my mind---

"The crossbows they use are made of an alloy mixed with legendary metals, forged with the help of alchemists and dwarves' forging techniques. If you are close enough, you can penetrate the scales of a young dragon, but you can't hurt its bones. If you hit a normal part of its body, it will only cause flesh wounds, but you must protect the vital parts, such as the eyes and throat..." Fiona thought for a moment and added, "And the anus!"

Attack all the vital points that can be attacked---this is indeed a very pragmatic way of fighting. Ryan Li certainly does not want to be blinded, nor does he want to be anally R@p3d.

The first round of volleys did not work, so the ballista knights quickly started to fill in the next attack, and the paladins who cooperated with them moved forward with huge shields.

This was a perfect opportunity for Ryan Li to launch a counterattack. He locked onto the group of knights in front of him and prepared to launch a charge.

The Paladin's holy shield could barely block his breath, but it might not be able to withstand his powerful full-strength attack. As long as he pounced on one of them now, he could kill a Paladin on the spot.

"Look here, brainless lizard!!"

"Come on, are you afraid of humans?"

"I'll peel off your scales and make armor!"

The paladin holding the giant shield even taunted the red dragon fearlessly, trying to anger him and attract his attention.

This "excellent opportunity" was also a bait deliberately thrown out by the knights.

As early as when the red dragon was dodging the crossbow arrows, Garrett seized the opportunity when his eyes were away from him, rode the land dragon around to the blind spot of his vision, and now was quickly approaching his side!

Garrett inserted the gauntlet-covered fingers of his left hand into a small hole in the breastplate. The part of the gauntlet covering his fingers had irregular metal protrusions that corresponded exactly to the patterns in the small hole.

This is a key, the activation key for the steam armor!

He activated his steam armor, and the engine in the breastplate roared.

At the same time, Lu Xinglong took him and jumped up several meters high. The dragon's back was right in front of him!

Ryan Li noticed the sound of the steam armor's engine and turned around, but it was too late.

Garrett jumped off the land dragon's back again, raised his explosive battle axe high, and jumped and chopped at the red dragon's back.

The mechanical armor cooperated with his movements, and a large amount of steam came out of the gaps in the armor. At the same time, the propulsion device of the tomahawk made an explosive sound like a cannon fire. The powerful driving force instantly accelerated the tomahawk to a point that it was difficult for ordinary people to swing it.

it's over!

At this moment Garrett was sure of victory in the dragon-slaying battle. The red dragon's huge body had no time to dodge. The axe blade was made of mithril, and such a heavy blow was enough to penetrate the dragon's scales and touch the dragon's spine.

There is also a one-time explosion rune attached to the battle axe. The explosion that follows the axe blade cutting into the dragon will completely destroy the dragon's spine.

This blow was not fatal to the dragon, but it was enough to paralyze the back half of his body and make it impossible to drive his wings.

A giant dragon that can only crawl on its front paws will eventually become a living target for the dragon hunting crossbow!

However, at this moment, Garrett caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye that the red dragon's tail was raised, and a figure rose up with the tail.

He glanced over there in surprise, and this glance made him feel terrified in an instant.

He saw Princess Fiona, who should have died, rising up by grabbing the dragon's tail, still staring at him!

Her Royal Highness...has resurrected! ?

Fiona raised her sword and pointed it in Garrett's direction.

The shield forged by holy light suddenly appeared right below the explosive axe wielded by Garrett, protecting the vital point of the dragon that Garrett was aiming at!

"No!!" Garrett cried out in his heart the moment he saw the Holy Shield.

But the battle axe that was accelerated by mechanical force could not be forcibly retracted by him.

The battle axe hit the holy shield hard, breaking it easily, but its momentum was also weakened a little.

The explosive rune attached to it was activated by the strong impact and exploded prematurely.

Then the battle axe touched the dragon scales, cutting through the scales and injuring the dragon, but at this moment Garrett's blood ran cold.

He knew by the feel of his hands that because of the obstruction of the holy shield, the cut was too shallow and could not damage the dragon bone at all.

However, the explosive rune was consumed before it could cut through the dragon's scales and could not cause further damage. This was only a superficial wound for the red dragon.

Ryan Li felt the pain of the battle axe hitting his back. He roared and spun his body around, arching his back hard to push the battle axe out of the wound.

Garrett was also thrown down. At this time, the red dragon had stretched out its long neck and opened its mouth towards the falling Garrett like a poisonous snake launching an attack.

Ryan Li bit Garrett's leg, but found that the armor was thicker than he had imagined and he was unable to bite it apart.

Under the influence of stimulants, Garrett's mount, the Land Dragon, pounced on the red dragon and opened its mouth to bite the red dragon's neck, trying to rescue its master, but its teeth could not break the dragon scales of a real dragon.

Ryan Li swung his dragon claw in annoyance, directly knocking Lu Xinglong away. A thought suddenly appeared in his mind:

"You are worthy of being called a 'dragon'?"

This thought originated from the red dragon's instinctive reaction. Although these sub-dragon creatures may be biologically related to true dragons, the gap is no smaller than that between monkeys and humans. True dragons have an instinctive contempt for sub-dragon creatures.

"Drink it!!"

Garrett, whose leg was bitten, activated his armor and swung his battle axe to fight back, but he could only hit the red dragon's strong jaw. Without the support of the battle axe's propulsion device, he didn't even get a wound.

Ryan Li held Garrett in his mouth and raised his head, then threw him down with all his strength, and at the same time opened his mouth and threw Garrett to the ground.

With a loud bang, Garrett, wrapped in heavy armor, smashed the floor tiles of the tower and created a large hole.

The Red Dragon's full-strength smash brought an impact force no less than that of falling from a height of more than ten meters.

Then the red dragon slapped him down with one palm, pressing him deeper into the pit.

Even though the steam armor had a little buffer structure inside, Garrett still clearly felt the impact throughout his body and the severe pain of broken bones, which almost made him lose consciousness on the spot.
