The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Or, they defeated the dragon and are celebrating?"

"No, this flame is not right."

Zelin shook his head. He had seen the appearance of the furnace and the light of the fireball flying towards him. It was just a matter of speaking, and the flames of Gushan lighted up again. But this time, it was brighter than the past four times combined. The flame is approaching them.

"Go and light the lights in the town, hurry up!"

The demon hunter hurriedly said to the archers, "Remember to protect yourself when fighting, and save your life as the most important thing. You can wait for a while before shooting arrows, but if you die, you won't be able to attack again."

That is definitely not the light of casting gold.

The archers dispersed one after another, disappearing into the corners and rivers of Changhu Town in the blink of an eye. Zelin climbed the ladder to the roof of a nearby building, and looked at the direction of the lonely mountain intently.

The light was silent for a while, but it didn't take long for it to light up again, but this time, the light in the sky was as dazzling as the sun, and the lower part of the hill and the north side of the lake all became golden.

The legendary story describes that when the dragon flies from the north, the first thing people hear is like a tornado from the north. The pine trees on the mountain wailed in the strong wind, breaking like delicate branches. But this is not a legend. Only after seeing it with my own eyes will I realize that the description in the story is extremely true. First, a group of flames flew in from mid-air, and a violent hurricane rushed in. It almost made it difficult to stand firmly. Several bricks were blown away, flying over Zelin's head, who was lying on the eaves with his back to the lonely mountain. On the chimney on the roof behind, it was smashed in an instant. The wind blew the surface of the lake, and the entire lake water rippled, reflecting the dazzling firelight in the sky.

Clouds climbed up into the sky, blocking the moon behind them. The bright moonlight can only be seen through the clouds. Just in this darkness, the orange-red flame slid down from mid-air, like a meteorite about to hit the town of Long Lake, but when the flame pierced through When it passed through the clouds and fog, it grew a pair of wings, a stout tail and an ugly head on a slender neck.

Dragon Smaug!

The flames were gathering in the chest cavity of the evil dragon, and the hot fire light even penetrated the skin on the chest of the evil dragon, making its chest look like a huge lantern.

Apparently the dwarves alarmed the dragon, but failed to defeat it.

I don't know if Thorin and the others are still alive, but now they must consider how to deal with the dragon by themselves.

Thanks to the people in Changhu Town who have been evacuated, Zelin doesn't know how many people will survive in the town after the dragon's attack. When the dragon swooped down, the wind pressure became much smaller. Zelin stood up, facing the direction where Smaug rushed down, pulled the trigger, and shot all the arrows in the crossbow at the dragon.

Electric lights burst into the sky, but it's a pity that Zelin didn't see what effect his attack could cause. After shooting the arrow out, he jumped directly from the roof. He didn't look back, but when the dragon flame swept past, the burst of heat still pushed him violently, causing him to fall to the ground. It took several laps before it stopped.

The flame replaced the moonlight, and the bright moon paled in comparison with it.

It was as if a giant used a blazing blade to split a crack in Long Lake Town, and a line of fire directly divided Long Lake Town into two from the middle. Any house on the flames seems to have been splashed with tar, and it was completely engulfed by the flames in an instant. The house where Zelin was just now was no exception. When Zelin got up, the house behind him could no longer see its original shape, and only the outer shell was burned by the flames.

But Smaug didn't notice Bud when he attacked for the first time!

They still have a chance.

The dragon flew too fast, Bud did not choose to shoot, he was looking for opportunities. This is the last black arrow. If you can’t kill the dragon, you will be in trouble. Bud must be calm. This is the only chance. Compared with the dragon, Bud is still hiding in the dark. Shoot this arrow when the key is most sure. Maybe the ebony blade can also kill the dragon by attacking the place where it is not protected by scales, but the dragon is in the sky, and nothing but arrows can hit it.

The evil dragon flew over Long Lake Town and began to climb on the other side. Several arrows hit it at this time, and the electric light gleamed on the dragon's back, but it didn't seem to have any effect on Smaug. Smaug quickly climbed up facing the sky, disappearing into the thick clouds in the blink of an eye. It is preparing to launch the next round of attacks.

Its scales are too hard.

With a sip, Zelin began to look for a new attack position. He ran past the burning house, and at the same time drew out the handy arrows tied around his waist and reloaded them into the runner of the crossbow. Several pieces of burning wood fell from the house and fell into the river. A sultry steam came out of it. The temperature in some places is too high, and the demon hunters have to show the Kunen's seal to block the heat waves. The floating ice in the river melted quickly, but the flowing river water was still so cold that the flames of the dragon couldn't make it boil.

But even the Great Lakes could not stop the town of Changhu that was turned into a fire.

Chapter 733 The Battle of Smaug

"Look at Long Lake Town!"

People hiding in the ruins of River Valley City climbed up the city walls and abandoned towers, looking at the Long Lake on the other side of the Smaug Wasteland. In the dark night, the burning town of Changhu looks like a huge brazier, which is particularly eye-catching.

When the dragon flew over the river valley, Smaug did not notice the group of survivors hiding in the shadow of the ruins, people hiding in dusty and cobweb towers, or in the chambers that had long been occupied by vines and weeds. The whirlwind brought by the dragon wielding its wings roared through the wreckage of River Valley City, like the wailing of countless wraith spirits who had been killed here, and the evil accumulated in the lonely mountain, which was rushing out with the dragon and was about to be completely submerged. The whole wasteland.

There is no fire, and the moon is shrouded in clouds. People can only hide in the ruins and be company with the darkness, leaning against each other, praying that they can all survive the disaster safely.

It was not until the sound of the wind passed that someone slowly walked out of the hiding place and went to the city wall to check the situation in Changhu Town in the distance.

The flame almost completely engulfed the huge rock in the lake holding the town. The flame of the evil dragon was like a messy child holding a knife, slicing randomly on the cake, and the raging flames reflected the entire lake into a fiery red color. According to legend, when the dragon attacked for the first time, the elite warriors of River Valley and the heavily armed dwarven army of Lone Mountain rushed out of the gate, preparing to face the dragon, but no one could stop the dragon, and the flames turned the river into steam. , To burn the town to ruins, melt the glass, and make the stone sculptures incapable. Any warrior who stood in front of the dragon turned into a corpse, or was bitten by the dragon.

This is not a legend.

In other words, the legend once again appeared in front of people.

No armor or shield can block the dragon's claws and teeth, no hiding can withstand the flames of Smaug, and it also has an impenetrable scale, the most powerful warrior looks helpless in front of this scale. Now, the dragon is hovering over the town of Long Lake, tilting the flames into the town below.

Barn stood on the city wall, looking at the town of Long Lake where his father was, and couldn't help covering his mouth.

"Dad..."

The flame seemed to burn on the water of a big lake, and even the trees by the lake were not immune to the disaster. The trees by the lake turned into golden pillars of fire. The flames burned the trees and made a crackling sound. The falling leaves were caught in mid-air. It ignites, then turns into a ball of flames and falls to the ground, igniting more dead leaves.

The elves of the woodland and the people of River Valley also watched the dragon calamity close at hand. The flames alarmed the animals in the dense forest, and countless animals escaped from their nests to escape the hot dragon flames. The elves who were investigating nearby could not get close to the town, and the ignited forest by the Long Lake almost turned into an insurmountable wall of fire, keeping them out. Only the whistling sound of the dragon flying and the pressing heat wave can be transmitted. The elves can only try to block the flames that burn the dense forest and prevent the flames from spreading into the woodland.

The Elven King Thranduil sat on his throne and listened to reports from the patrol team. In the city in the mountains, there are full-armed elves running everywhere, every container is filled with water, every warrior grabs a weapon, and every arrow is ready. The dragon's flames have spread to the dense forest, and no one knows whether Smaug will rush towards the dense forest after destroying Long Lake Town. The kingdom of the elves does not have so many treasures, but killing is one of the ways for the dragon to vent its anger.

The townspeople who hid in the woodland kingdom looked at the elves who had begun their full preparations with fear. They could do nothing but pray.

Even from the orc legion of Gundabad Fortress, the wolf rider also observes the movement of the Lonely Mountain. The capture of Lone Mountain will be an opportunity to consolidate the orc territory and even rejuvenate the kingdom of Angmar.

But no matter who it is, no one can help the soldiers who are still fighting in Long Lake Town.

The high temperature makes the air seem to be distorted.

Fortunately, there are icy lakes, the temperature in the town is not too high, and the archers can continue to fight without worrying about their hair and clothes being suddenly ignited when they are running. The lake roared, beating on the huge rock and the dock that had not been burned.

Zelin jumped to the other side of the river bank in two steps. The dragon seemed very angry. It was enraged and wanted to go to Long Lake Town to kill the people here, but when he fell, the townspeople were already gone. It just It was breathing fire at a group of empty wooden houses, and some small bugs were constantly attacking it from various places. This made Smaug even more angry.

Several more arrows shot at it from different directions, but compared with the fire below, the flashing electric light on the dragon's body seemed not to be a cause for concern. Smaug rushed down again, but this time, instead of spewing out flames, it fell straight down, with its sharp claws pressed on the roof, and the house that was shaky by the flames collapsed when the dragon fell. The tongue of fire bursting out of the house licked the dragon's claws, but the flame was far from enough to injure it, although it was enough to burn a person to ashes quickly.

Smaug wanted chaos, but there were no wailing and crying, no panicked crowds in this town. There were only archers who had been prepared for a long time. The only sound was the crackling of the flames burning the wood. He didn't get anything he wanted. One of the archers didn't seem to have time to hide, and was spotted by Smaug. The dragon immediately began to destroy the surrounding houses, its tail swept a circle, and almost a fan-shaped group of houses was razed to the ground.

The dragon was looking for the hapless archer, and it happened to be facing Bud. Zelin could almost imagine Bard's anxiety. As the houses collapsed, it won't take long for Smaug to notice the Windbow Watch Tower where he was.

When the dragon fell, Zelin immediately aimed at its head, and several arrows shot at the dragon's amber-like eyes.

But the arrow shot failed to hit the dragon's eyes, the arrow hit the scales, bursting into a ball of electric light under Smaug's eyes. Although it didn't hurt it, it succeeded in attracting attention.

"You dare to challenge Smaug, bug!"

The evil dragon turned its head, facing the direction where Zelin was, and stared at the demon hunter with its slender eyes. "I can smell your scent, do you want to avoid? I can feel you, your scent , Your breath. The game of catching mice is over!"

Smaug could speak lingua franca, it turned around abruptly, threw away the archer it found, and crawled straight in the direction where Zelin was.

Chapter 734: Water and Fire

"Is your nose as powerful as yours?! It sounds good."

Zelin jumped onto the plank floating in the river, and before the plank sank, he jumped onto the other side of the river bank. He didn't look back, the sound of Smaug's claws stomping on the house was enough for him to judge how far the dragon was from him. There are flames everywhere, and the old wooden houses in Long Lake Town have no resistance in front of the dragon's flames. Looking around, they are full of burning house remains.

"You never know how powerful the great Smaug is!"

The dragon stomped on the roof, and the burning flames in the house popped out, but Smaug enjoyed the flames. He was located in the icy lake, and the dragon enjoyed the heat. It climbed a few steps on the roof, and when Zelin was considering whether he could figure out a way to jump up along the eaves to deal with it, Smaug flapped his wings and flew into the sky again.

A burning attic in front was crumbling, and when Smaug flew up, the wind carried it finally made it unbearable. The attic carried the flames, and collapsed in the direction of the road. Zelin didn't stop, he rushed straight ahead. The attic slammed on the road with a fierce bang, just hitting Zelin below. Just waiting for the next moment, the demon hunter covered with the Kunen’s seal smashed through the fire scattered on the road and rolled around on the ground. When he stood firm, Smaug in the sky was swooping down towards the demon hunter. .
