The Red Spider Knight chuckled.
Levi was relaxed and was ready to shoot at any moment.
After the poison was applied, the two quietly hid beside the Armor-Breaking
Crossbow. The bushes next to them covered their figures. Levi could hear the
Red Spider Knight’s heartbeat. She seemed a little nervous and not as indifferent as she looked.
At the same time, a roar that sounded like a tyrannosaurus echoed throughout the valley.
Levi and the Red Spider Knight immediately became alert.
In the dense forest in the distance, the trees were quivering. Countless birds were frightened, and all kinds of wild beasts, whether docile herbivores or fierce carnivores, fled wildly after this roar.
As the booming voice resounded, all the living beings on the earth began to tremble in fear.
Even Levi, who was an official knight, felt a little uneasy.
This was the might of an Earthly Dragon Beast!
The king of all beasts on this continent!
Graff and his teammates were running for their lives in the dense forest. Behind them, an angry giant beast charged forward, knocking away the trees and boulders.
It was a giant-scaled beast that was comparable to a tyrannosaurus. It had a height of over three meters and a length of over ten meters.
Its entire body was covered with scales similar to a crocodile’s. Every muscle movement caused the scales on its body to emit a metallic sound.
Its four limbs were thick and powerful, just like the Sumerian rhinoceros. It was covered in layers of wrinkled skin, just like a knight’s heavy armor.
The Green Falcon Knight had already given up on his horse because he realized that even though the Earthly Dragon Beast did not run fast, its short-term explosive speed was not something his inferior horse could compare to.
Fortunately, he cultivated the Azure Falcon shallow breathing technique.
The Green Falcon was a legendary divine bird that soared in the sky. With a
flap of its wings, it could travel hundreds of miles!
The Green Falcon Knight was now like a diving gyrfalcon. He swept his arms backward in a running posture similar to Naruto. The Earthly Dragon Beast’s short-distance explosive speed was not as fast as his.
The furious Earthly Dragon Beast noticed this and charged at Graff, who was running slower.
Graff roared, “Black Rhino Knight, go!”
The Black Rhino Knight, sprinting away, turned his head. He gulped and looked at the hill-like Earthly Dragon Beast.
Even though he cultivated the Giant Rhinoceros Breathing Technique, which was powerful, and had plate armor and a giant shield, when he stood before this enormous beast, he instinctively began to fear.
Only then did he realize that the legends of the bards were too conservative in describing the power of the Earthly Dragon Beasts.
By the Heavenly Father, even a grand knight would find it hard to fight this thing head-on, right?
With every increase in weight, its strength increased exponentially.
“Black Rhino! Quick, lure this d*mned guy away! The effective range of the
Armor-Breaking Crossbow was only 400 meters. The closer, the better!”
Graff quickly climbed up a tree as thick as a bucket, trying to dodge the Earthly
Dragon Beast’s attack. The next moment, the Earthly Dragon Beast crashed
into the tree, and the tree fell. Graff jumped onto another tree as he fell.
The Black Rhino Knight gritted his teeth and charged forward like a bull, stabbing his greatsword straight into the Earthly Dragon Beast’s butt.
Bang!
The sound of metal clashing!
The Black Rhino Knight’s greatsword seemed to have pierced through plate armor. It was impossible to break through its defense.
“Don’t waste your effort. Besides the specially made Armor-Breaking Crossbow, only a grand knight with a black gas weapon can break through the Earthly Dragon Beast’s defense!” said Graff.
Black Gas Entwined was a technique that only grand knights could master.
The next moment, the Earthly Dragon Beast turned around. A hideous wound was on its side like a spear had pierced it. The damage was profound, reaching straight into the bone marrow. However, it seemed to have begun to heal, and dense flesh had grown all over the wound.
The Black Rhino Knight roared, “Green Falcon Knight, come and help me!” Boom! The Earthly Dragon Beast leaped and chased after him.
The Green Falcon Knight turned around and saw the Earthly Dragon Beast chasing after the Black Rhino Knight.
it!”
His entire body was like a flash of green light. He threw a spear at the Earthly Dragon Beast ruthlessly.
The spear naturally did not break through the defense and fell to the ground.
The Earthly Dragon Beast was also confused by the three knights.
Although these three knights were weak, they stung non-stop like flies.
In addition, it had fought with a human powerhouse some time ago. Although the human powerhouse had been severely injured by it and escaped, the beast had also suffered considerable injuries.
It still managed to catch up to the slowest Black Rhino Knight. Then, it opened its mouth and bit at him.
The Black Rhino Knight used his long shield to block to attack, but the shield was also the victim of the attack.
Along with the sound of metal being squeezed, the shield deformed. The Earthly Dragon Beast’s bite force was apparent.
The Black Rhino Knight even brandished his greatsword, wanting to escape, but it was futile. His shield fell to the ground amid the battle.
At this moment, his face was filled with despair.
With a cracking sound, he was cut in half at the waist. The plate armor did not have much of an effect. The joint of the plate armor directly popped open. The Black Rhino Knight’s flesh and blood were dismembered. In the end, his legs fell to the ground. He howled in pain until he was bitten into fragments by the Earthly Dragon Beast and thrown away.
Humans were not tasty, so the beast vomited the remains.
Seeing his powerful teammate killed in a split second, Graffs heart sank.
The Earthly Dragon Beast continued to charge at the Green Falcon Knight, who was scared out of his wits. He used all his strength, almost exhausting his Life Seed, to inject black gas into his legs. His entire body was like a steam locomotive as he ran toward Levi.
Levi looked calm on the surface but was a little panicked.
“Your Excellency White Wolf, it’s up to you!”
The Red Spider Knight did not dare to stay any longer. She felt an imminent sense of danger and believed something terrible would happen! Her figure flashed and left the high ground.
Levi glanced at Red Spider, who was running away, and his eyes flickered with killing intent.
“A bunch of pigs. How unreliable.”
Three thousand meters.
One kilometer.
Four hundred meters.
Although they were within range, Levi did not shoot to prevent insufficient damage.
The Green Falcon Knight shouted, “Hurry and shoot! I can’t do it anymore!”
Three hundred meters.
Two hundred meters.
Like a deflated balloon, the Green Falcon Knight’s speed instantly slowed. He had run too much and could no longer hold on.
At this moment, the Earthly Dragon Beast had already caught up.
Just as its huge abyssal mouth was about to bite the Green Falcon Knight…
Whoosh!
A sharp air-piercing sound was heard.
Following the sound was a specially made, two meters long crossbow bolt!
Bang!
The crossbow bolt pierced through the scales on the Earthly Dragon Beast’s head, aiming for its vital parts.
One end of the arrow pierced through the Earthly Dragon Beast.
It roared in pain. It did not notice that there were still people behind the bushes on the high ground!
It flew into a rage and used its last breath to stomp on the frightened Green Falcon Knight. Then, it charged toward Levi on the high ground.
“It’s still not dead?”
