Chapter 245: [Super-Ring Spell Maximization]

Hum—

Accompanied by a huge shadow covering the sky, the red fleshy wings that blocked out the sky and sun were like a scarlet canopy hanging down from the top of the head, slowly retracting inward.

The air torn and compressed turned into a violent hurricane, and the invisible airflow rushed against the falling rain and scorching mist around, making the corners of everyone's clothes and broken hair on the field sway violently.

Feeling the ground trembling slightly like an earthquake under his feet.

Xia Nan lifted his head, pitch-black eyes reflecting the behemoth in front.

He had never had an intuitive concept of the size of this kind of creature; after all, when the other party flew in the sky, the overly distant distance made it only the size of a palm on a visual level.

Just now, when it descended to spit dragon breath, all his attention was attracted by those dangerous and explosive flames, and he had no mind to pay attention to anything else.

Right now, when this adult Hong Long flew down from the high sky and sat in front of him.

Xia Nan truly had a real sense of this powerful creature at the top of the food chain in another world.

He couldn't estimate the specific size of the Hong Long in front of him.

He could only say that even if the other party was still more than ten meters away from the team, he had to lift his head to barely see its complete figure clearly.

Just a single forelimb was as sturdy as some fortress tower, the chest was as wide as a burning furnace, and every slow and deep rise and fall could clearly feel the chaotic flow in the air, mixed with the scorching smell of sulfur.

At such a close distance, Xia Nan could even see the details on the fiery red scales on the Hong Long's body surface.

It wasn't the smooth and slippery surface he imagined; the scales themselves could even be called rough, and the surface was covered with traces of smoke and fire and dense scratches, but precisely because of this, like a warrior's medal, it added a sense of ferocity to its overall image.

The dragon wings covered with thick and tough skin were folded on both sides of the body, the tip of the slender and powerful dragon tail was slightly raised, swinging gently on the ground beside; the streamlined muscle contours under the scales rose and fell slightly with breathing, and on the sturdy neck, there were curved horns like a crown, the vertical pupils were bright like magma, and what flowed in the pupils was substantive rage and impatience.

The Hong Long completed its descent.

Not completely upright, but with a condescending overlooking posture unique to top predators, slightly leaning forward, with an oppressive and aggressive momentum, staring at the five tiny ants in front of it.

No one dared to move.

Or rather, no one could move.

At such a close distance, it was like being close to a huge furnace that was boiling and burning, and the profound Dragon Might made the air seem to have solidified at this moment.

It had already broken through the spiritual deterrence in the conventional sense, causing a chain reaction in the material world.

Xia Nan did not doubt at all that the terrifying Dragon Might he was bearing on his body right now was enough to make some people with weak psychological quality and poor health faint directly.

The air fell into a dead silence.

On one side was an escort team composed of a group of adventurers with professional levels of no more than five, and on the other side was an adult Hong Long with a challenge rating as high as "17."

To put it exaggeratedly, if you added up the professional levels of all five people on Xia Nan's side, it might not be as high as the other party's challenge rating.

If a battle really occurred, what the escort team would encounter would be the most suspense-free annihilation in history.

There was not the slightest possibility of turning defeat into victory.

Apparently, the Hong Long "Klaff" also clearly knew that the few humble little bugs in front of it couldn't even bite through its scales.

So after it landed, its attention was not on the other party at all.

With a proud and casual posture.

Pacing.

The dragon claw was lifted and dropped in front of everyone, and the next second, in that claw palm also covered with red scales, there was already an oval-shaped metal block.

"Where did you find it?"

What echoed in the air was a thick, low, and deep voice, containing a large amount of throat sounds, jaw sounds, and chest resonance, stacked with multiple syllables, with a rhythm similar to an aria.

Undoubtedly, this was Dragon Language.

Klaff certainly understood the common language popular on the continent, and could even be called proficient.

It was not active learning out of interest, but from the dragon race's inherited memory, an innate instinct.

But apparently, the few little bugs in front of him, who could be solved with one dragon breath, were not enough to make it lower its posture and communicate with the other party in common language.

No one answered.

As for the reason...

On one hand, everyone under the deterrence of Dragon Might found even their thinking ability becoming slow, making it difficult to manipulate their flesh; on the other hand, it was also because, except for Weirouer, no one in the team could really understand this "foreign language."

Xia Nan had keen perception and was most deeply affected by Dragon Might, but perhaps it was the resistance brought by the 【Look Directly into the Abyss】 feat, and the encounter in the Niumu Evil God Secret Realm made him somewhat adapted to this situation.

When the Hong Long in front of him spat out the last word from its hideous dragon mouth, he had already recovered from the suppression of Dragon Might.

His expression remained unchanged, but his brain was running rapidly.

First, there was absolutely no possibility of winning a head-on battle.

Combining all the equipment and combat techniques on his body, the only thing that could cause effective damage was the companion combat technique "Gravity Etching" of his 【Meteor Blade Hunter】 profession.

If his longsword could cut onto the other party, it should be able to rely on the force field damage that ignores defense brought by the combat technique to cause damage to the Hong Long.

Of course, considering the power that 【Gravity Etching】 could produce right now, and the restriction of "3" uses in a short period of time.

Even if they were all piled in the same position, compared to the giant dragon's huge body, it was equivalent to being bitten by a mosquito, barely breaking defense.

So, should he run away?

Even more impossible.

The mountain terrain was rugged and had little vegetation, and compared to the forest, there were not so many trees blocking the way, so 【Tooth Hunter】 could be released and used without scruples.

But the Hong Long possessed air superiority, no matter how fast he ran, the other party would catch up with a flap of its wings.

It didn't even need to land in person; if it spat a dragon breath down, he estimated he would be burned to ashes.

Winning a battle was difficult, and running away was even more impossible.

Xia Nan had already fallen into a dead end.

But he did not give up the hope of survival, but was thinking calmly and rapidly, looking for the hope of survival that might exist.

While he was pondering, his eyes, which had no emotional fluctuations due to high concentration, inadvertently met Weirouer's.

"Hmm?"

The girl's amber eyes were lively, without the slightest sluggishness that should have been under the deterrence of Dragon Might, clearly she had recovered her sanity just like him.

Sensing Xia Nan's gaze, Weirouer was also clearly stunned for a moment, as if she hadn't expected him to be able to recover so quickly.

She nodded lightly, imperceptibly.

And then, just like that, in front of everyone, she took a step forward.

Since joining the escort team, Weirouer, except for providing some assistance to team members according to specific situations in battle, rarely interfered with the decisions of team members at other times. ===== CHAPTER 246 =====
