The thing that suddenly appeared was actually a black dragon over fifteen meters long, with its whole body covered in thick scales.
Black dragons of this size can only be regarded as small and medium-sized dragons, but in this environment, they possess destructive power that cannot be underestimated.
Behind the black dragon stood a Loucheng monk, carrying a special wooden basket filled with round ore balls, which was very heavy and heavy on the hand.
The Loucheng monk held the reins in one hand, picked up the black stone ball with the other three hands, and threw it at the rune airship.
One of the believers was unable to dodge and was hit in the shoulder, and was beaten to a bloody pulp.
The other two stone balls whizzed past, and everyone dodged them, but they were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat.
Don't underestimate the stone polished by this kind of ore. After being thrown out by the Loucheng monks, its power is not much worse than a cannonball.
Seeing this, Ellie next to her suddenly turned her gun and quickly pulled the trigger before the opponent's second wave of stone balls came.
The Loucheng monk reacted very quickly and jumped off the black dragon's back to avoid the oncoming bullet.
Then he rushed up again, holding three stone balls in his hand, and threw them again fiercely.
“Bang bang bang!”
Three holes were smashed into the surface of the rune airship. Fortunately, the crew inside were not harmed, but the rune airship was still damaged.
Because it has no armor, the rune airship cannot resist the attack of the stone balls.
As the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, the black dragon roared, and its huge claws suddenly grabbed the top cover of the rune airship, trying to tear it in half.
"Na Gu, you will pilot the rune airship!"
Tang Zhen roared and jumped out of the rune airship, hanging on the outside while holding on to the protrusions.
There is a high altitude below. Once you fall down, you will be eliminated directly.
Tang Zhen raised his arms and fired directly from the combined firearm he carried, with bullets constantly hitting the black dragon's abdomen.
Although the black dragon's scales were as hard as steel, they were still unable to withstand the attack of armor-piercing bullets. In an instant, the black dragon was beaten to a bloody pulp, causing the black dragon to roar loudly in pain.
"asshole!"
The Loucheng monk who controlled the black dragon roared angrily, quickly grabbed two ore balls, and threw them hard at Tang Zhen.
This black dragon is very difficult to obtain. If it is killed by Tang Zhen, it will undoubtedly be a huge loss.
Even if the rune airship is not destroyed, the safety of the black dragon must be ensured, otherwise their operation will not be worth the gain.
Seeing the opponent's attack coming, Tang Zhen turned his gun and a wave of bullets poured out.
The Loucheng monk repeated his old trick and dodged again, but Tang Zhen jumped up and jumped directly to the top of the rune airship.
Seeing this, the black dragon took out a claw and grabbed Tang Zhen, wanting to tear him into pieces.
"brute!"
Tang Zhen sneered, drew out his sword and swept it out, almost cutting the black dragon's claws in half.
The black dragon whined in pain and was about to let go of the rune airship with its other paw. It was obviously frightened by Tang Zhen.
"You want to run away, but you asked me if I agree!"
As soon as Tang Zhen finished speaking, he jumped into the air, reached out and grabbed the iron chain around the black dragon's neck, and jumped behind the black dragon.
Seeing Tang Zhen appear in front of him, the Loucheng monk was startled, but he quickly threw three stone balls with a grin.
Tang Zhen swung his long sword to knock away the incoming stone balls. At the same time, he took out a pistol from his storage equipment and pointed it at the enemy and fired directly.
The Loucheng monk reacted very quickly, quickly turned around to dodge, and then raised his hand to shoot a few stone balls.
After throwing the stone ball, regardless of whether it hit Tang Zhen, he stretched out his hand and jerked it at his waist.
A long, slender whip like a willow appeared directly in his hand, bringing with it touches of silver light.
This long whip weapon is soft and tough, circling around the opponent's body, and sometimes protruding out like a spiritual snake, making it difficult for people to guard against it.
It seems weak, but in fact it is very powerful. If an ordinary person is rubbed, it will be cut into two pieces.
This kind of weapon is very powerful when fighting in groups, and it is also tricky and difficult to defend when fighting alone.
Tang Zhen didn't dare to be careless. This kind of weapon was indeed rare. The main reason was that this Loucheng monk came from the Fourth War Zone!
Tang Zhen was able to confirm this because there were two badges on the opponent's armor, which clearly read the words "Fourth War Zone" and the force to which the opponent belonged.
"It turns out to be a monk from Loucheng in the fourth war zone. No wonder he is so arrogant and directly displays his affiliation!"
Tang Zhen said secretly in his heart, but after thinking about it, there is actually no harm in doing this.
The Fourth War Zone itself is a very powerful protective umbrella, enough to scare away a group of low-confidence Loucheng monks.
Everyone knows that the higher the battle zone ranking, the stronger the overall strength it has, and the combat effectiveness of the Loucheng monks is not weak either.
Although everyone is on the same starting line when competing, experience and awareness cannot level the playing field.
When encountering Loucheng monks in high-level war zones, most of the Loucheng monks in low-level war zones would choose to stay away.
At the same time, with this identity, you can also recruit some Loucheng monks from low-level war zones. Everyone can cooperate with each other and benefit each other.
In this competition, the Loucheng monks in each war zone do not have to fight to the death. They can also cooperate with each other and share the final fruits of victory.
Of course, when sharing benefits, one must distinguish priorities. Low-level war zones are just about drinking soup.
The Loucheng monks from the Fourth War Zone used their status to recruit a group of Loucheng monks who were willing to cooperate.
As for the last benefit, it is to facilitate the Loucheng monks in the same war zone to identify each other, thus avoiding unnecessary misunderstandings.
If you want to do this, you must have strong enough self-confidence, instead of being secretive like some monks in low-level war zones.
This was the first time that Tang Zhen met the Loucheng monks from the first four war zones, so he naturally had to compare them, but after the fight, he discovered that the opponent was not as powerful as he thought.
After thinking about it, this is actually normal.
The strength gap between the fourth and fifth theaters should not be very big. Being able to rank high actually depends more on luck.
There are high and low levels of monks in each war zone. Tang Zhen is the lord of the fifth war zone and belongs to the top class of monks.
The Loucheng monk he was fighting against was an ordinary member of the Fourth War Zone. There was a huge gap between the two.
The opponent was obviously aware of the gap between him and Tang Zhen. After only a few rounds of fighting, the two sides began to be unable to resist.
He was eager to get away. If he hesitated any longer, he would probably be eliminated by Tang Zhen.
While waving the long whip in his hand, he triggered the mechanism on the wooden box behind him, and then leaned down suddenly.
A bunch of stone balls shot out and hit Tang Zhen head and face. It was obvious that this was a trap that had been set up a long time ago.
When Tang Zhen was dodging, the Loucheng monk jumped up and jumped directly from the black dragon's back.
He couldn't care less about the black dragon now, it was more important to save his own life.
With his strength sealed, falling from a height of several hundred meters would definitely mean he would be eliminated.
The opponent obviously would not seek death on his own. While jumping off the back of the black dragon, the arms below held up a pair of wings, which acted as a gliding deceleration.
Obviously this is a backup plan to prevent accidents, similar to a parachute, but I don't want to use it for escaping.
The opponent's sliding speed was extremely fast, but in the blink of an eye, he had already flown hundreds of meters away.
Tang Zhen saw the other party fleeing and subconsciously wanted to shoot, but found that the combined firearm was out of bullets.
The only spare weapon was already used in the previous battle, and there was no time to reload it.
"You're lucky, kid."
When Tang Zhen spoke, he stretched out his hand to grab the reins of the black dragon. Since this guy fell into his hands, he had to maximize his value no matter what!
