Chapter 540: Lost in the Desert(2/4)

The most important thing is that the brown dragon cannot fly like the blue dragon, so it is much easier to deal with.

If you are willing to believe us, please wait patiently for a while.

I swear that you will feel that the compensation you pay us is worth it.”

After hearing these words, Zuo Si nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, I'll leave it to you. Whether it's killing or expelling, just let the slave workers dig in that desert."

"Understood!"

The man who looked to be close to forty years old immediately called the combatants together for a simple combat meeting without saying a word.

After arranging the division of labor among the three parties, they put on light yellow cloaks for concealment and spread out in all directions towards the battlefield.

Since these people were among the best in the team that was hired into the desert to conduct surveys, they are well-versed in dealing with threats in the area.

They did not rush to launch an attack, but lay on the sand dunes with half of their heads exposed, staring at the battlefield.

After about ten seconds, the leading man asked the leader of another adventure team: "Who do you think will win this battle?"

"Hard to say.

If the brown dragon is replaced by a blue dragon with the ability to fly, I will definitely vote for the dragon.

After all, no matter how powerful the efreet is, it will be difficult to withstand the blue dragon's high-speed flight and lightning breath.

But the brown dragon's breath is strong acid, and it doesn't have real flying ability. At best, it's only a 50-50 match against these efreets.

Look at the damage caused by the machetes and fire magic on him. Although it is far from fatal, it is enough to illustrate the problem."

A man in his thirties dressed as a mage expressed his opinion.

Since they are all Mulhorandi in a strict sense, they also use Mulhorandi when talking to each other, rather than the common language that is the most widely spread in Faerûn.

As for the brown dragon, it is a type of dragon that typically only lives in desert areas, and its habitat range overlaps with that of the blue dragon and the brass dragon.

Therefore, when they meet each other, fierce fighting and fighting may break out.

But the biggest difference from the blue dragon and the brass dragon is that the brown dragon does not have the ability to fly, but is better at burying itself in the sand and suddenly emerging to attack passing caravans and passers-by.

Although they are also members of the true dragons, their wings have degenerated so much for some reason that they only have a very short section, which is not enough to support the weight of their huge bodies.

What's even more terrible is that the scales covering its body are not as tough as other types of dragons due to their relatively soft cuticle.

However, its wide mouth gives it the most powerful bite force among dragons.

One bite can often tear people and horses alive, and as long as the sneak attack is successful, it will not give the opponent any chance to counterattack.

In addition, brown dragons are also one of the very few true dragons that regard their own kind as food.

Their savagery and cruelty are almost comparable to those of white dragons.

Moreover, this kind of barbarism and cruelty is not caused by low intelligence like the latter, but is closer to an innate nature.

While the two were talking quietly, the brown dragon in the center of the battlefield suddenly used its innate spell-like ability to create a large whirlwind of violent sand blowing out of thin air.

Two fire djinn flying in mid-air ready to cast spells were instantly involved.

Those high-speed rotating and dancing gravels were like blades, quickly tearing apart the efreet's skin and muscles, dyeing the wind and gravel with a striking blood-red color.

What's even worse is that this tornado sandstorm makes the people trapped inside unable to see the surrounding situation clearly, and they can't easily get out. The pain caused by the gravel tearing the skin and muscles also makes it impossible to maintain concentration in casting.<

/p>

This means that unless the two efreets can survive until the magic effect ends, they will be chopped into pieces by the gravel like a thousand knives.

But if you think that’s the end of it, you’re totally wrong.

The brown dragon is a giant dragon with elements of wind and earth, so it has the ability to control sandstorms and summon wind elements.

Taking advantage of the enemy's spellcaster being unable to do anything under the intrusion of the sandstorm tornado, he quickly chanted dragon language magic and used a druid-like [Level 7 Natural Ally Summoning Technique] to summon an invisible Gust Wind out of thin air.

Come out.

Now, the two remaining warriors, the fire djinn, need to deal with the brown dragon and a super large wind elemental that can also fly at high speed.

The leader's face finally turned ugly when he saw this. Without even thinking, he grabbed his companions and turned around and ran away. On the way to escape, he did not forget to rush into the tornado and sandstorm and kill the other two seriously injured casters.

or pull it out.

Obviously, they lost miserably in this battle for territory.

Without the help of a spellcaster, it is obviously unrealistic to defeat an old brown dragon by hand-to-hand combat.

After all, although these evil creatures from the elemental plane of fire have the ability to grant wishes to mortals, the trick is that they cannot use it themselves, nor can they grant wishes to their kind.

Otherwise, the four efreets would make wishes three times a day, which would add up to twelve, and they would be able to push the old brown dragon in front of them to the ground and rub them.

Maybe you can control and enslave the other party.

"Want to run away? Dream on! You will all die here today!"

The brown dragon, with black burn marks all over its body, was obviously very angry. It jumped out of the yellow sand and followed closely behind to give chase.

Since its claws have long evolved webbed membranes to adapt to the desert environment, they can not only dig sand quickly, but also increase the contact area with the sand to reduce pressure and prevent their claws and legs from sinking into the yellow sand.

Therefore, brown dragons can run very fast in the desert, far exceeding camels and other giant dragons.

It didn't take him a while to catch up with the slowest efreet, and he opened his huge mouth, intending to bite the opponent to death and swallow him whole.

Although this elemental creature is far less delicious to brown dragons than horse meat or camel meat, it is certainly much better than living on sand.

Seeing the crisis approaching, the efreet immediately activated its natural ability to transform into gas form.

As a result, the former didn't bite anything when he bit into it, but instead ate a mouthful of sand.

The efreet that successfully escaped the disaster immediately relied on its natural flying ability to increase its height, giving the enemy no chance to launch a second attack.

Upon seeing this, several other efreets also left the ground, making it clear that bullying the brown dragon would not allow it to fly.

Similarly, in the battle just now, the brown dragon also gave full play to its advantage in digging holes, burrowing directly into the ground and disappearing from the enemy's sight to avoid being hit by those amazingly powerful fire magics.

Then, through digging, he suddenly jumped up from the feet of an efreet to launch a surprise attack.

It can be said that both sides have their own advantages, and whoever performs well will win the final victory.

Unfortunately, this time there was obviously a problem with the efreet's cooperation, and the brown dragon seized the opportunity and repelled it in a wave.

The two sides have fought similar battles in this desert area more than once, but neither side has been able to completely eliminate the other party.

In the end, the brown dragon could only yell at the sky and give up.

Because he knew that it was impossible for the large wind elements summoned by himself to defeat four fire giants.

Just when this giant creature with a dark brown color all over his body was about to return to his lair to rest and recuperate, the adventurers and mercenaries who had been lying around for a long time finally caught the moment when he relaxed his vigilance and took action.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The long-range archers first shot the enchanted penetrating arrows specially sponsored by Zuo Si from different angles.

This is a special arrow that looks extremely thin, but with the blessing of magic, it can penetrate the carapace of hard creatures such as turtle shells.

When dealing with giant dragons with hard scales, they can often break defenses in an instant.

Moreover, the arrows are quenched with extremely deadly toxins, which can greatly weaken the dragon's physical fitness and agility attributes.

In addition, the brown dragon had just fought a deadly enemy, and it was the most relaxed time at the moment. He didn't realize that there was already a group of human adventurers and mercenaries lurking around during the battle.

Otherwise, he can detect the movement of any creature stepping on the sand within a radius of 150 meters centered on himself, even if it is a small snake or scorpion, just by relying on the "tremor perception" in his innate ability.

No exception.

As expected, all six arrows hit the target without exception.

The poisonous arrows that pierced the scales and penetrated into the flesh immediately made the brown dragon feel the pain, and roared like crazy.

"You ignorant little bugs! I'm going to eat you for dinner!"

The words have not yet been spoken!

He jumped high into the sky, smashed directly into the nearest human adventurers, took a deep breath in mid-air and sprayed out blood-curdling acid.

"Run!"

The older team leader picked up the female archer who had not yet reacted, raised her head, drank a bottle of speed potion, and dragged the archer away.

Although the speed is definitely not as fast as when the feet are stuck in the sand, it still runs out of the coverage area before the strong acid hits the ground.

The other people are similar.

But they didn't have time to rejoice that they survived the disaster, as the brown dragon's huge body crashed down like a cannonball.

Boom!!!

After a loud noise, a wave of sand several meters high suddenly appeared, burying the two slow runners directly underneath.

The rest of the people also shook their heads in an attempt to shake off the large amount of sand on their heads and bodies, and from time to time they would spit out a mixture of saliva and sand.

"Little mouse! You are dead!"

After landing, the brown dragon didn't stop at all and pounced directly on the nearest unlucky guy.

In his opinion, his attack was foolproof, and there was absolutely no possibility of the other party escaping.

But at the moment when he was about to succeed, the dragon suddenly noticed that a strange smile appeared on the face of the prey for some reason, and then shouted at the top of his lungs: "Now! Do it!"
