2022 The hunt for the Dragon-1

This journey was extremely difficult. Tang Zhen used all sorts of tools and finally reached the end of the road.

Tang Zhen gently heaved a sigh of relief. As for those despairing people behind him, they sat on the ground as though they had been relieved of a heavy burden.

They dared to swear to the heavens that the journey they had just experienced was definitely a nightmare.

If it wasn’t for Tang Zhen’s warning and his desire to live, they might not have been able to persist.

Fortunately, everything had passed. They had finally made it through. Now, they could only hope that a similar situation would not happen again.

Otherwise, if this continued, they would immediately go crazy and collapse.

However, in the city of despair, this kind of thought was enough to become a luxury. After all, there was still despair and disappointment here, and it was impossible to guard against.

Tang Zhen carefully looked at the road in front of him and discovered that there was indeed nothing unusual. His heart also felt much more relaxed.

He had already tried his best, but it was a good thing that his efforts had not been in vain. None of the despaired people who had followed him had suffered any casualties.

everyone, eat and rest. After that, we’ll continue moving forward. I believe the high-level area is not far ahead.

Everyone nodded silently and quickly ate to replenish their energy, on guard against any unexpected situations that could happen at any time.

Tang Zhen was also sitting cross-legged on the ground. He was munching on the ready-made food while concentrating on his thoughts.

After they finished eating, they continued on their way. Not long after, a wide street appeared in front of them.

The group found something different. Compared to the street they were on before, the road here seemed to be smoother and cleaner.

On both sides of the road, there were also flowers and plants that were unusually bright in color.

Although the flowers and plants looked like they were painted with oil paint and were very eye-catching, they were much more colorful than the original monotonous colors on the street.

After walking for some distance, there were sparse trees on the side of the road. The further they went, the more trees there were, and finally, it became a forest.

Further away, there were also looming mountain peaks that seemed to reach into the clouds.

Everyone was in a good mood when they saw this scene.

At least visually, the environment here was far better than the previous location. If there was really no food, perhaps he could search the forest.

Of course, the forest had to be safe enough. If there were monsters everywhere, no matter how much food there was, one had to be alive to enjoy it.

Tang Zhen quickly discovered that his worry was not without reason.

Because as they advanced, they could see strange figures appearing in the forest from time to time.

At the same time, there were also greedy eyes peeking through the gaps between the trees, secretly staring at them.

It seemed that these monsters could not get too close to the road. Otherwise, they would have already rushed to the road and attacked Tang Zhen and the others.

However, he would constantly throw stones and soil or make strange sounds to lure them, which was extremely annoying.

Their purpose was obviously to lure the despairing person into the forest and then take the opportunity to harm him.

“Damn it, is there an end to this?”

The dwarf’s eyes were filled with ferocity. When he saw the figures that were sticking their heads out, he subconsciously picked up the magically modified hand cannon.

“Your Excellency, do you want me to go and see what that thing is?”

Tang Zhen nodded his head. The dwarf immediately revealed an excited glint as he waved his hand at the few desperators beside him and directly rushed into the forest by the roadside.

The sound of gunfire, the angry roars of the dwarf and the others, and the sound of trees breaking were heard.

Tang Zhen seemed to have seen an enormous shadow swaying within the forest. He immediately charged out without the slightest hesitation. In the next instant, he had already appeared within the forest.

What appeared in front of him was a Dragon-shaped creature that was 16 to 17 meters long. It had a pair of wings on its back and was attacking the dwarfs and the despaired people.

To an ordinary despaired person, a monster of this size would definitely be considered huge. However, to a dwarf who was controlling a physical puppet, it might not be that big.

At this moment, the dwarf was waving his huge battle sword and slashing at the Dragon-shaped creature. As for the magically modified hand cannon he was using, it had already been thrown to the ground.

There were four to five bloody holes on the Dragon-shaped creature’s body. From the looks of the wounds, it was obvious that they had been caused by the modified hand cannon.

Just as the physical puppet approached, the Dragon-shaped creature opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of flames.

The dwarf couldn’t avoid it in time, so he could only raise his hand to cover his face to prevent himself from being injured.

However, in the blink of an eye, it had turned into a fireball, and its entire body was wrapped in flames.

However, the physical body puppet was not afraid of pain. It rushed up against the flames and slashed down with its saber.

The Dragon-shaped creature turned its head to Dodge and was cut in the neck, but it was not particularly fatal.

The Dragon-shaped creature seemed to be enraged by the attack. It opened its mouth wide and bit down on the dwarf’s head.

When the mouth opened, it was much bigger than a dwarf’s head and could be swallowed in one bite!

At this moment, the dwarf’s entire body was wrapped in flames and could not defend against the Dragon-shaped creature’s attack at all. Although the other desperators were desperately shooting, they could not effectively stop the attack.

Their weapons were handguns, not hand cannons, which were clearly not powerful enough.

At this critical moment, Tang Zhen directly made a move. A three-meter-long metal javelin appeared out of thin air and was thrown out by him.

The spear was fast and ruthless. It pierced through the Dragon-shaped creature’s mouth and penetrated its head.

The Dragon-shaped creature fell to the ground without even making a sound after suffering such a heavy blow.

After its huge body twitched a few times, there was no more movement. It was clearly dead.

Although Tang Zhen had killed the dragon-like creature with a single move, he did not relax. Instead, he condensed a long spear in his hand.

This was because he realized that there were still many strange figures in the surrounding forest who were peeking at them.

It seemed that fear had appeared in the hearts of those black figures after Tang Zhen had killed the dragon-like creature with a single strike. Therefore, they did not continue to approach, but they did not move away either.

Tang Zhen did not know the origin of these monsters. However, he knew that it was not wise to stay in this place for long. Otherwise, an unforeseen event would inevitably occur.

“Don’t linger in battle, retreat immediately!”

After hearing Tang Zhen’s order, those despairing people immediately formed a defensive formation and began to slowly withdraw from the forest.

“Wait a moment!”

The dwarf let go of his hand and rushed to the front of the Dragon-shaped creature in two or three steps. He directly hugged its head and then dragged it with all his might.

Due to the previous burning, the dwarf’s body exuded the smell of roasted meat. Many parts of his skin had been stretched and torn, and even oil was constantly dripping.

If it wasn’t for the armor that Tang Zhen had given him, perhaps the dwarf’s skin and flesh would have been completely roasted at this moment, turning him into a pile of roasted meat.

It was obvious that the dwarf was extremely dissatisfied with this. After all, this physical puppet was the one he was most satisfied with so far.

As for the purpose of dragging it, it was to bring it out of the forest, roast it, and eat it.

If he didn’t do this, he wouldn’t be able to vent the anger in his heart and his desire for food.

The forest wasn’t far from the roadside. Tang Zhen and the others quickly retreated. Fortunately, they didn’t encounter any attacks from other monsters during this period.
