638: Chapter 157, The 4th Dragon Knight of the Continent _1 638: Chapter 157, The 4th Dragon Knight of the Continent _1 Inside the cave, Maxim was tending to his wounds and cursing incessantly.
Being a dragon was truly a tough life, he had finally taken on a lucrative job, and just as he was counting his gold coins, disaster struck.
A human expert had come knocking on his door and immediately attacked him without a word.
Had it not been for their intentions of capturing him alive, he might already be a dragon carcass by now.
Using his speed advantage, Maxim escaped the human expert’s encirclement and started his escape journey.
Regrettably, no matter how fast he ran or how well he hid, after some time, he would always be found by the human expert.
“Earl Hudson, are you sure the Red Dragon is hiding in this small hill?”
Morrison asked with disbelief.
Every dragon was prideful.
Their standards for habitats were high.
This small hill clearly didn’t suit the status of a dragon.
Morrison, we’re at the Ula Mountains, where all the good hills are occupied by powerful magical beasts.
Under the pursuit of the alliance experts, the Red Dragon has sustained heavy injuries.
What he needs most is time to recover.
He has no time to compete with the local beasts.”
Hudson patiently explained.
As for the Sky Knight before him, Hudson didn’t know much about him.
He only knew that he was a powerful member of the Royal Family, with an oddly high standing.
From his evident signs of aging, it was clear that his lifespan was almost at its end.
“In that case, let’s split up and set up a magic formation nearby.
The Red Dragon escaped the pursuit of alliance experts, which indicates his power.
If he escapes once more, it will be difficult to catch him alive again!”
Morrison immediately ordered everyone.
Earl Hudson was not upset with this overreach; after all, they were working for him.
It was not worth it to quibble over these minor issues.
One after another, magic formations were set up.
The elemental fluctuations that emerged soon attracted the attention of the Red Dragon.
Having been hunted for so long, Maxim, who was already like a frightened bird, immediately peeked out of the cave.
“Despicable vermin, you all deserve to die!”
With a roar, a jet of magma sprayed out, startling the magicians into hasty evasions.
“Everyone, capture him together!”
The order was given, and Hudson immediately retreated.
This level of battle was not something he, a noncombatant, could participate in.
Even an injured dragon was still a dragon.
No matter how much its power was reduced, it was still a commendable strongman.
Outside of Hudson, the military strongmen who had come were at least Earth Knights and Sorcerers, even including two Sky Knights and a Great Sorcerer.
The effects of so many powerful people attacking together were obviously extraordinary.
The shockwaves caused by the energy collision looked like a tornado sweeping through the forest.
A specially made long spear flew out, directly hitting Maxim’s tail.
The friction between it and the scales produced tearing sounds.
“Cursed vermin, you dare to hide a Dragon Slayer Spear!
Wait and see, my Dragon Clan will never let this go!”
As he spoke, Maxim, who had suffered a lot, had already turned around and was trying to break through the encirclement.
Hudson hastily ordered.
The Dragon Slayer Spear was one of the special products created by the races of the continent in ancient times to fight against dragons.
Although Maxim had been hit by the spear and seemed to have only lost a scale, hence not seriously injured, it wasn’t less deadly because it hadn’t hit a vital spot.
The defensive capacity of different parts of a dragon’s body varies.
If a weak spot is hit, it’s possible to penetrate with one spear.
The Dragon Slayer Spear was not omnipotent either.
It’s extremely difficult to hit a dragon, not to mention accurately hitting the dragon’s weak spot.
After suffering from the Dragon Slayer Spear, the Dragon Clan forced the destruction of all Dragon Slayer equipment on the continent with their strong power.
The Dragon Slayer Spear then became a legend.
It’s clear that the implementation of the destruction was discounted.
At least the human race, who were the rulers of the continent, held numerous Dragon Slayer weapons.
These weapons might be accumulating dust in the warehouse during normal times; but they could play an important role during critical times.
This nearly divine Dragon Slayer Spear was specially requested from the kingdom by Hudson after the burning incident.
A dragon and a bear collided ferociously in the sky.
The greatly weakened Red Dragon suffered a significant blow.
“Darned Earth Bear, I’ll kill you!”
With his roar, the already furious Maxim became even more enraged.
While he was talking tough, his body involuntarily shifted its direction in an attempt to evade Belsden’s interception.
After the brief delay, a group of human strongmen had already attacked.
Faced with the siege of many experts, the Red Dragon suffered more and more injuries, and his resistance grew weaker and weaker.
“Use the Dragon Intoxication Incense!”
Following Morrison’s command, everyone drew a small bottle from their side and threw it towards the Red Dragon.
Dragon Intoxication Incense is another countermeasure against dragons.
Normally, to make a dragon drowsy would require a massive amount of Dragon Intoxication Incense; so much so that before the dragon faints, one would likely be overwhelmed.
But the current situation was special.
The Red Dragon had already been badly wounded and was on his last legs, offering reduced resistance.
After a few flutters and struggles, the Red Dragon ultimately could not withstand the drowsiness and fell asleep.
