Chapter 916 – Chapter 906: Dragon Hunting
Dudian thought for a moment and slowly turned away. He threw the broken bottle on the snow.
He went back to the forest by the lake. He could smell the faint smell of blood. If the temperature wasn’t low then the smell would be more obvious. Soon he saw the place where the hunters were ambushing. There were ice fragments and half of the head was frozen. There were broken arms, sternum and blood splattered on the white leaves, it was covered with pale ice like blood spots.
There were hundreds of hunters but there were only corpses on the ground. Dudian glanced at them. There weren’t many corpses. He estimated that there were at most a hundred of them. In other words, there were more than two hundred people left alive, but most of them had already left the place. The ice dragon had been chasing after him so he didn’t pay attention to them.
Dudian was silent as he looked at the arm that was frozen. From the armor on the arm it could be seen that it was Barker’s hand.
His body was frozen after Dudian kicked the ice dragon. He fell into the forest but Dudian only found his arm. He didn’t see any other limbs. He felt that Barker was probably not dead. Maybe he had left.
The Fierce Crusade eventually turned into a massacre and a farce. Dudian sighed. He was one of them. Sometimes he could see clearly but he might not be able to do it alone.
Looking at the frozen lake in the distance, Dudian estimated that the old dragon was probably recuperating in there. He was a bit unwilling. Originally he had given up on snatching the ice worm, but later when he cooperated with Aisha.., he found that the old dragon was not as powerful as he had imagined. Or rather, he had underestimated his own strength. From the previous performances of Holaney, Barker, and the others, he felt that he was stronger than the Abyss, he should be a bit stronger. In addition to Aisha’s flame, he could restrain the ice mist attack of the Polar Ice Dragon.
Although his chest was almost pierced through and he died on the spot, but the ice dragon also lost its tail. Both sides were injured.
“It would be good if this place is close to the giant wall. I can use the steel inside the giant wall to make several traps…”Dudian looked at the surrounding woods. His eyes flashed. He had some ideas about hunting the Arctic Frost Dragon.
It was the stupidest to rely on direct combat to hunt monsters. Previously, Holani, Barker and others were there. Moreover, the warriors of the hunting group were not Dudian’s subordinates. Dudian didn’t say anything, in fact he felt that with the cooperation of so many pioneers he could create a swamp trap. Even if the ice dragon was twice as strong it would be skinned alive.
At that time he was worried that the ice dragon wouldn’t be able to withstand a single blow from the combination of the four forces of the Abyss. If the ice dragon was killed soon.., it was their turn to fight for the polar ice insects. So he didn’t say much during the ambush. His goal was to consume the hunters under the command of Holaney. At the same time, he wanted to take the opportunity to see their true cards.
However, the situation was reversed at the beginning of the battle. The subsequent changes were too fast. It was too late to organize an effective ambush which led to a one-sided massacre.
Dudian felt that the extermination of the team had something to do with his selfishness. If he was in charge, with so many people present, he would be able to kill the old dragon even if his eyes were closed.
Dudian felt a bit regretful but he didn’t feel guilty or self-reproach. He believed that Barker and Monica also had the same idea, moreover, Holaney was aware of their thoughts. She was willing to cooperate with them to weaken the number of hunters. She didn’t plan to make traps for a long time.
It was a pity that the ice dragon had shown its strong power. It made their small thoughts and scheming look ridiculous and sad.
Dudian felt that he had the opportunity to kill the old dragon. It was just that it would take a long time for him to prepare the traps.
In the ancient times, there was a huge gap between the strength of humans and beasts. However, they had created a wooden spear and dared to fight with the bloodthirsty beasts. It was the will to survive and the spirit of a hunter, the gap between the strength of Dudian and the ice dragon was smaller than the gap between a normal human and a tiger. It wasn’t a one-sided slaughter. At least he could fight back.
So he felt that there was no reason for him to retreat.
Dudian had been thinking about this matter for the past few days. He hesitated but in the end he decided to return to this place. He looked at the situation. The lake was calm but he felt that it was necessary to try, after all, once he succeeded in obtaining the polar ice worm, his strength would increase by a lot. At his level, he couldn’t rely on the resources in the giant wall to increase his strength. He could only look for opportunities in the wilderness outside the giant wall.
The current adventure was also to prepare for his future arrival in the Kingdom of God. In the place where humans lived, he needed more strength. This kind of opportunity was hard to come by. He didn’t want to be weak in the Kingdom of God in the future, he was bullied and schemed but he couldn’t resist. That was another cruel world. The price of being weak was also bloody.
Dudian took Aisha and sat down at the edge of the forest. He looked at the surrounding environment and thought about the layout of the trap. Although the body of the ice dragon was hard and invulnerable, but it used trees as arrows and rattan as bows, if the pulling force was enough, it could still cause a lot of damage and impact to it. If one tree was not enough, then ten. With the size of three to five people hugging a giant tree in the forest, the force of the ejection would definitely not be good.
Moreover, the ice dragon was huge. Although its flying speed was very fast, but its turn was not flexible enough. These were its weaknesses.
In the blink of an eye, a few hours had passed. Dudian thought of several hunting plans. He was about to get up to cut trees and make traps. Suddenly he felt the ground tremble slightly. His heart skipped a beat as he looked at the lake.
The surface of the lake was as calm as a mirror. After two or three seconds it suddenly rose. The ice on the surface of the lake quickly broke. A huge figure jumped out of the lake. Water splashed all over its body. Its huge scissor-like wings spread out, it was the Arctic Ice Dragon!
Dudian’s pupils shrank as he held his breath.
The tail of the Arctic ice dragon had grown out but it was much shorter than the previous one. After it landed on the shore, it shook its body and walked towards the forest. Its claws were pressed on the ground, the sound was low.
Dudian was relieved. He almost thought that it had noticed him. If it wasn’t for the fact that the location of the old dragon was on the opposite side of the lake, he would have turned around and fled.
“The healing speed is quite fast. Could it be that it came ashore to search for food?”Dudian’s eyes flashed. The previous battle was more intense. For these large monsters, they needed to fill tons of food to replenish their energy, it was normal for them to come out to hunt.
Dudian didn’t leave. He was going to wait for it to return to the lake to cut wood.
After two or three hours, Dudian thought that the old dragon had abandoned its nest and moved to another place. The Arctic ice dragon flew back from the sky. It didn’t land on the shore but dove into the lake, a huge wave was set off. The water of the lake surged and hit the broken ice on the shore. It was like a fence made of sharp blades.
“Alive?”Dudian saw the thing in the mouth of the ice dragon. It was a three meter long blood lion yak. It wasn’t a monster from the ice forest, it was a monster from the plains outside the forest. Moreover, the blood lion yak was in groups. It was extremely violent. It was Level 42. It wasn’t scary to pull it out alone, however, a group of blood lion yaks was enough to make many monsters that were level 100 or higher shy away from them.
The blood lion yaks clearly belonged to the “Food”category in the depths of the magic pit.
Dudian was surprised because he didn’t expect that the food that the ice dragon was hunting wasn’t the ice monsters from the ice forest. What was even more strange was that it was carrying a live one, it could swallow it in one bite. It didn’t need to chew. There was no need to take it back to its nest to enjoy it?
The waves on the lake were still rolling. The Snow White Figure of the Arctic ice dragon gradually sank to the bottom of the lake. Dudian looked up. The lake was very deep. He could barely see the depth of the lake, however he could see the life source of the Blood Lion Yak.
The heat source of the blood lion yak suddenly disappeared without any warning.
Dudian was surprised. Was it swallowed by the Ice Dragon? Even if it was swallowed the body of the Blood Lion Yak wouldn’t lose its heat source but would slowly disappear.
He felt that it was a bit strange but he didn’t pay much attention to it. After the surface of the lake was completely calm he turned around and went to the forest. He cut down trees and piled them up. He also met some forest monsters when he was cutting down the trees, there were giant lizards that were as white as snow. There were also giant pythons that lurked under the snow. There were also strange insects that lived inside the giant trees.
Dudian casually killed these monsters. Some of the monsters used poison to attack him. He cut off their poison sacs or pulled out their fangs to use as trap materials.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
Dudian had cut down thousands of trees. He heard a faint dragon’s roar coming from the Ice Lake. He sensed for a while and found that the ice dragon had gone out to look for food.
He stopped making traps and went to the edge of the Ice Lake to wait. He found that the old dragon had a chubby monster in its mouth.
If the first time was a coincidence then the two times were the same. It was enough to determine the taste of the old dragon. Dudian was happy. He was worried about what to use as bait but now it was simple.
Dudian peeled the cut trees. The surface of the trees was shaved. After he peeled the bark, the inside of the trees was still rough. Fortunately, these giant trees lived in the cold temperature. The tree trunks were extremely hard. Ordinary swords might not be able to cut them.
Dudian lit the fire and refined the bark into tree oil. He smeared it on the tree trunks so that the surface of the tree trunks was smooth. Then he sharpened one end to make a giant bow. He found some vines and wove the bow rope.
There were few vines in the forest so Dudian could only spin the silk and then wove it. It took him three days to make two bows.
The bow was fixed by a few big trees. The rope was woven by himself so the tree arrows were the easiest to make.
Dudian picked a good position and waited for the Arctic ice dragon to go out to search for food. He quietly dug a hole by the lake and buried the bow. In addition to the tree arrows, he also prepared a giant net so that the giant net could be ejected from the ground, it was enough for the ice dragon to struggle out of the hole.
Time passed by unknowingly.
In the blink of an Eye Dudian stayed by the Ice Lake for three months. Traps were everywhere around the ice lake. Some traps were destroyed by other monsters. He had to dig deep trenches on the ground outside the traps, he made the beasts’feces around the traps to stop the monsters.
In the past three months, Dudian had figured out the ice dragon’s hunting patterns. It was almost once every three days. Each time it would bring back a monster. Moreover, once the monster entered the bottom of the lake.., it would suddenly lose its heat source reaction. This strange phenomenon would appear every time. Dudian was very curious. He even thought about diving into the lake to take a look when the ice dragon left. But in the end he held back, he was worried that his smell would stay in the lake and cause the old dragon to be vigilant.
The sky was blue.
Dudian quietly waited by the lakeside. At noon, the lake rippled and the figure of the ice dragon flew out.
Dudian’s eyes flashed as he stepped out from the edge of the forest.
The ice dragon that was about to leave suddenly stopped. It turned its head and growled at Dudian. It flapped its wings and flew over the lakeside towards Dudian.
Dudian saw that the ice dragon seemed to have forgotten who he was. He wasn’t in a hurry to use his magic body. He tightly held onto the splitter.
The ice dragon descended from the sky. The wind blew Dudian’s hair into a mess. It landed on the ground and opened its mouth to bite Dudian. It seemed that it didn’t take Dudian seriously.
The moment the ice dragon opened its mouth, its mouth and sharp fangs were still stained with blood and flesh. Dudian suddenly made a move. His body slid to the side and the splitter instantly passed through the corner of the ice dragon’s mouth, the sharp edge of the knife cut into the sand. Dudian held the knife tightly and drew three or four meters forward. He waited for the Ice Dragon to roar in pain before pulling out the knife and retreating.
The Ice Dragon roared to the sky. It raised its wings in pain. When it lowered its head again, it opened its mouth and spat out cold air.
Dudian was prepared. He quickly took off and flew back into the forest.
He deliberately flew higher so that the ice dragon would have to take off to attack him.
