Impact!","bear-school-astartes-chapter-732",732,"\u003Cp>A leaping black dot first appeared in the narrow blue sky above the valley, then... the black dot swiftly expanded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn! It's this move again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three-man-one-cat team instinctively stopped their attack on the Molten Mountain Dragon the moment a roar erupted above, instead, they looked up with intense gazes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Wende, Aiden, and Lann dispersed in their respective directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wende also grabbed Gaffi with a grappling hook on the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant... \"Boom!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thunderous impact resounded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Extinct Dragon, whose body weight exceeded hundreds of tons!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plummeting from at least five hundred meters high! Using its resilient body and recovery powers without any deceleration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force of this collision surely surpassed thousands of tons!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such ferocious force, the shell of the Molten Mountain Dragon was almost immediately smashed, sending a lava waterfall shooting towards the sky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The self-sacrificial collision of the Extinct Dragon even altered the 'topography' of the Molten Mountain Dragon's back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wuaargh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the shell wasn't pierced, nor was the internal body harmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the immense pressure alone, just pressing down quietly on the back, already made the elderly Molten Mountain Dragon suffer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was all caused in one blow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for Lann and his group, closest to the point of impact...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Molten Mountain Dragon's hard shell seemed to have turned into a trampoline in that instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though all of them, three people and one cat, managed to evade the point of collision using their reflexes and skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The following shockwave still launched them high into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least six to seven meters high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then they plummeted back down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann's [Light Body Technique Breathing Method] instinctively activated the moment he was forced airborne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body's buoyancy in the air significantly increased under the technique's effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although, due to his armor and enhanced muscles and bones, he couldn't yet move like the Iwami Ninja, leaping and landing silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from six to seven meters high, as he was about to hit the ground, propping himself with one arm and stabilizing with a backflip was sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this movement, his elbows and wrists bore enormous pressure, yet the enhanced bone strength held up to Lann's technical prowess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the usually rough-fighting Hunters didn't fare as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden and Wende took the full brunt of the six to seven meters fall damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough, cough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the two were jolted upwards, they completely lost control over their posture, which led to a hard landing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was 'squeezed' out of their chests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the Hunters' robust physiques, they only needed a moment to catch their breath, then stood up again clutching their chests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wende was cursing under his breath, giving Lann the assurance that the kid was alright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when the three stood up once more, on the central platform of the Molten Mountain Dragon's back, a gigantic, sinister demon-like figure was bathed in the dark red glow of the lava.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Extinct Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ancient dragon's entire forelimbs seemed shattered from the previous plummeting impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Floppily bent at unnatural angles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the dull 'crack' sounds coming from beneath its flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smashed bones were resetting, the pulverized muscles were regrowing...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the Extinct Dragon, as long as the pressure from the collision didn't cause the internal shattered bones to pierce through its resilient skin and flesh, protruding outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact was worthwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the mass that wasn't lost from its body could almost be ignored in terms of its recovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So even though it fell from a height of five hundred meters, the Extinct Dragon's recovery time was similar to the start of their last encounter, where the fall distance was only two hundred meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than half a minute, the demon-like ancient dragon had already restored its powerful forelimbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its bulging claws dug deeply into the Molten Mountain Dragon's shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The molten lava, not yet solidified due to the collision, was once again clawed out by it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And those reptilian yellow slit pupils were fixedly staring at the three-man-one-cat team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems to have gotten smarter this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden took out his [Spiked Sharp Sword] which could secrete sleeping gas, speaking in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of tyrannical murderous aura, pressing straight over like a storm... was clearly no longer targeting an individual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Lann held his [Flame Assault Crossbow] in one hand, he reached into his back Alchemy Pouch with the other, pulling out the [Pulse Scimitar] and tossing it to Wende.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This guy's always been smart, it's just that now it's not as furious as when it first saw me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wende directly released the [Flower Launcher] he was holding, raised a hand to catch the tachi thrown over, and unhooked the empty ammo belt around his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaffi's little paws dragged the heavy crossbow to the side of the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Flying Thunder Dragon's electric needles amplified the static electricity on the blade handle caused by fur friction to the point of inflicting lightning damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wende drew out the bone tachi, eyes fixated on the nearby Extinct Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hostility between both sides exploded without restraint from the very start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hunters had long determined that the Extinct Dragon would most likely come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for the Extinct Dragon, neither the explosively conspicuous Molten Mountain Dragon nor Lann, already recognized as a mortal enemy, was to be spared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the line between hunter and prey blurred at this moment, only the strength of both sides could redefine each other's identities!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thunderous cry erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Extinct Dragon opened its mouth, the prelude of its roar causing the air at its mouth to ripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But immediately, 'bang bang bang' three shots fired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water cooling bullets shot out from the [Flame Assault Crossbow], precisely controlled to pierce into the Extinct Dragon's mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Extinct Dragon's head was not small, but its bulk was mainly supported by the pair of enormous horns, and its mouth wasn't particularly large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three water cooling bullets entered, the resulting spray gagged it directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roar was interrupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wende's eyes glinted, lowering his center of gravity as he lunged forward like a leopard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparks of blue current flickered on the bone blade as he swung it towards the Extinct Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ecological institute's judgment based on material was accurate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancient dragon indeed had little defense against lightning damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wende felt that although the [Pulse Scimitar] was much lighter in its axe form compared to the [Mud Flow Shield Axe], cutting through the bone spurs of the Extinct Dragon seemed slightly easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after two slices, Wende's sharp hunting instincts told him that this ancient dragon was preparing to lunge forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No reason not to trust his brain's instinctive judgment based on its muscle movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a 'ding,' the Extinct Dragon's menacing, protruding bone spur scraped past Wende, who shimmered with a pale red aura of Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet it failed to harm the Hunter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Predator's Sense] succeeded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wende didn't feel the excitement of upgrading to an Air Blade state... because the Extinct Dragon, after this lunge, directly ignored him and fled!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the [Predator's Sense] was successful, the prey had escaped the attack range necessary for the [Air Blade Grand Spin] to elevate his Qi Blade state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would've been enough to raise the blood pressure of any Tachi User holding it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, the Extinct Dragon's target was never Wende.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pervasive hostility and murderous intent were merely a facade, its true aim was still Lann!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps out of hatred, perhaps due to the Extinct Dragon's straightforward combat experience, 'enemies become vulnerable in close range when launching ranged attacks' gained throughout its life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, this ancient dragon, after skimming past Wende, directly charged at Lann in a pouncing stance!\u003C\u002Fp>",1292,"2026-06-06T10:40:26.341Z",1,"novelbin.me","85af23797b2490eee73c3c7a04f4a771a0c9f59ab3235441432299ef17825c12","bear-school-astartes-chapter-733","bear-school-astartes-chapter-731",1043,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbear-school-astartes-cover.jpg"]
