It could only swing its tail angrily at the edge of the cliff, staring at Leon who jumped down and roared twice, then gave up and retreated from the cliff, its figure disappearing into the jungle.
The action of getting rid of the Tyrannosaurus was quite successful, but this action also caused Leon's altitude to change from the original low altitude to mid-air, which is exactly the airspace where the Tyrannosaurus is good at.
No longer worried about diving too far and crashing to the ground, the Explosive Dragon roared with joy. It first shot many of its teardrop-shaped scales at Leon in mid-air, then folded its wings and dived towards Leon from high above like a bomber!
Leon was fast, but the Explosive Scale Dragon that swooped down from high altitude with potential energy acceleration was even faster. When the scales covered Leon's surroundings, the Explosive Scale Dragon that dived down at high speed had already arrived at Leon's side at the same time as the scales were shot out. He flapped his wings and used the strong wind pressure to detonate these high-explosive scales that were all over Leon's side.
Li Ang wanted to escape faster, but he didn't find any chance. The 20m radius explosive dragon scale barrier suddenly exploded in the air with bright sparks, and the blazing flames directly engulfed Li Ang's figure at the center of the explosion!
The Explosive Scale Dragon flapped its wings and hovered in mid-air, seemingly admiring the art of the explosion it had created. But to its disappointment, Leon did not turn into a charred corpse and fall from the air.
It fanned away the smoke and dust left by the explosion, trying to find out what was going on, but the only response it got from the black smoke was a burst of hot plasma.
Li Ang was floating in the air unharmed, holding a plasma pistol in his hand!
Li Ang knew that it would be impossible for him to avoid the pursuit of the Explosive Dragon in the air, so he didn't think about escaping from the beginning. Instead, he activated the energy shield on his body that he had not used for a long time.
He used the Protoss technology from StarCraft that he had unearthed by digging up Eldar graves to withstand the explosion of the scales, and waited in the smoke of the explosion, waiting for the moment to fight back!
The Exploding Scale Dragon dodged quickly. Although its huge body prevented it from dodge, it at least avoided the part that Leon originally aimed at.
Leon, who had originally aimed at the scales on the Explosive Dragon's tail, thought to himself, "What a shame!" He had intended to use his plasma pistol to detonate the scales, causing them to explode and sever his own tail. However, the Explosive Dragon dodged in time, preventing him from achieving his goal.
However, the Explosive Dragon is a flying dragon species with poor defense. Although it avoided its vital points, the plasma hitting its abdomen still made it feel very uncomfortable.
Seeing Leon using his high-tech thermal weapon, the already aggressive Explosive Dragon became even more agitated. Enraged, it roared and stretched out its claws to grab Leon. Leon dodged the Explosive Dragon's grasp, but the close proximity between them left him no time to charge his plasma pistol. He sheathed his pistol and drew his battle axe, continuing his mid-air confrontation with the Explosive Dragon.
The nearly 20-meter-long Explosive Dragon was indeed tall and mighty, but it was a bit bulky for Leon, who was only two meters long. The Explosive Dragon circled back and forth and tried to grab him several times, but Leon dodged it easily.
The height of the battle dropped little by little in this process, and at this moment Leon was not far from the ground.
The Explosive Scale Dragon, who became gradually irritable during this confrontation, obviously understood that the sky was his real home ground. He raised his head and did not intend to let Leon descend. It was obvious that he was planning to use long-range attacks shamelessly.
But such an attack was also within Li Ang's calculations.
Rather, it is this moment that Li Ang has been waiting for!
When the Explosive Scale Dragon raised its head and finished accumulating power and wanted to lower its head to shoot a rapid beam of fire at Leon, what came towards it was not Leon's figure, but a burst of vast white light.
When the Exploding Scale Dragon raised its head, Li Ang threw a flash bomb made of light insects at the Exploding Scale Dragon. The flash bomb, which he had strictly controlled the timing, was detonated at the moment when the Exploding Scale Dragon lowered its head!
The intense white light filled the Explosive Dragon's field of vision, tearing its balance apart. It could only do its utmost to spread its wings to maintain its balance in mid-air, while constantly spewing flames from its mouth to prevent Leon from approaching.
But its attacking presence didn't frighten Leon. He knew the stun effect of a flashbang wouldn't last long, and that the Explosive Dragon wasn't incapable of close combat. Now that he had completely enraged it, if he didn't severely injure it right here, Leon feared it wouldn't let him go even if he escaped to the ground.
He simply retreated to advance, closing the distance and coming right up to the head of the Explosive Dragon. The Explosive Dragon, having temporarily lost its five senses, was unaware of Leon's approach and continued to spit flames in vain.
Leon knew the principle of the explosive dragon's ability to breathe fire - they did not have a special storage bag for storing fire-breathing fuel like the fire dragon. They simply held their not-yet-fully-grown explosive scales in their mouths and detonated them, using the power of the exploding scales to briefly breathe out flames.
Li Ang simply took out his weapon. Just as the Exploding Scale Dragon opened its mouth and sparks flew out, Li Ang, knowing that the other party was about to detonate his scales, pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The plasma directly detonated the explosive fluid in the mouth and throat that was used to form explosive scales. The damage caused by this unexpected internal explosion was obviously much greater than the external damage.
The Explosive Dragon, caught off guard, let out a hoarse wail. Having regained some of its five senses, it looked at Leon with its tiny eyes in surprise, seemingly puzzled as to how Leon could always find its weak points. Leon clearly had his own explanation for this:
"While nuclear weapons are obsolete, box weapons are not."
The chemical reaction caused by the plasma shot into its mouth continued, and the explosion that continued down its mouth also affected the explosive glands in the Explosive Dragon's body, which produced its scales. The rapid increase in internal pressure caused the Explosive Dragon's body to expand like a balloon. Although the dragon's body was not strong enough to cause the Explosive Dragon to explode like a balloon, the consequences of allowing it to continue like this would naturally be disastrous.
Driven by an intense desire to survive, the Exploding Scale Dragon, wanting to relieve the pressure, opened its mouth wide and spit out a series of explosions. The momentum of the explosion was so strong that it even blew the Exploding Scale Dragon's own skin and flesh to pieces.
Leon, who had anticipated this, had already deployed his energy shield at full power. However, the energy shield, which had already been partially depleted by the Exploding Scale Dragon's Exploding Scale barrier, was clearly unable to fully withstand the continuous explosions.
Leon had injected all the energy he could mobilize into the shield, and tried to distance himself from the self-destructing Explosive Dragon as much as possible before the shield was exhausted. However, when the energy shield was overloaded, he was still pushed hard by the blast behind him and fell uncontrollably towards the jungle on the ground.
The propulsion engine behind him did not respond at all, and the various potions originally placed on the iron spine to keep the brain awake had been used up in the previous battle against the Black Legion's boarding.
Li Ang knew without calculations that this kind of fall would not kill him as half of his body was made of metal, but due to the constraints of his human brain, the probability of him falling into a coma would not be less than 90%.
"This time it's not a safe fall..."
He could only hope that he would not be unconscious for too long. But where he did not notice, a group of cat-like creatures that could walk upright witnessed the whole process of his fight with the explosive dragon.
When Leon fell into the jungle and stirred up a cloud of smoke, these creatures curiously gathered in the direction where he fell, as if they wanted to find out what was going on.
PS: I guess I was typing in the middle of the night and my mind was not clear, so I changed the flying dragon type Explosive Scale Dragon into a bird dragon type in the last chapter. Thanks for your corrections, I have modified it.
I hope I won't be called out by the Explosive Dragon tonight 2
Chapter 21: Elu Cat?
Leon was awakened by a warm and wet feeling on his face. His brain was still groggy, but the built-in timer in his body clearly told him that he had been unconscious for three hours.
Considering that as long as he could wake up, it meant that the worst situation did not happen while he was in a coma, Li Ang didn't want to get up so quickly.
He wanted to enjoy this rare moment of haziness, but the increasingly wet feeling on his face forced him to open his eyes and return to this sober and painful reality.
The moment he opened his eyes, something seemed to be frightened and quickly ran away from Li Ang. When Li Ang opened his eyes, he saw the rock wall of the cave.
It was too ridiculous that he could faint in mid-air and then fall directly into a sheltered cave where he could lie safely. Leon was sure that he must have been brought here by some creature.
There were no obvious wounds or damage on his body, which meant that the other party's movements were quite gentle. It should not be a large predator, and it should have a certain degree of intelligence...
Li Ang touched his face and felt a handful of liquid. The system easily determined that this liquid was saliva. It must be the creature that had carried him into the cave licking his face with its tongue.
He looked up towards the light and found a creature that looked like a Siamese cat lying at the entrance of the cave, looking at him nervously.
Li Ang was slightly taken aback. Although it looked like a cat, the fact that it could walk upright already indicated that this animal was unusual. Furthermore, it could also make human-like movements, using its front paws to scratch at the cave entrance and peering into the cave to observe Li Ang. All signs pointed to this cat as someone Li Ang was very familiar with.
"Elu Cat?" Leon couldn't help but be surprised: "So... I'm a cat car?"
As hunters' most loyal allies and best animal companions, the Felycats are a species of beastmen capable of coexisting with humans. Their appearance is nearly identical to real-life cats, though their average length is reduced to around one meter. Most possess intelligence comparable to that of ordinary humans. They have evolved the ability to walk upright, their front paws capable of grasping objects like human hands, while still running on all fours like real cats.
In Monster Hunter, Felynx, who has integrated into human society, can do almost all the work required by humans and is also the true mascot of Monster Hunter.
After landing on this planet where Monster Hunters were everywhere, although Leon saw the monsters that were the true souls of Monster Hunters, he did not see these little cuties.
He originally thought that because human society no longer existed on this planet, the Felyne cats that had integrated into human society also ceased to exist. However, it now appeared that the Felyne cats still existed, and they had already given him a complete set of cat and car attacks right from the start.
Realizing that it was this group of living fathers pulling the cat cart that saved him, Leon's expression suddenly became kind. He also discovered that he was not the only one dragged into the cave, but also the Astartes who was knocked away by the thunder dragon.
The Felyne cats had obviously saved more than just Leon, but as they had not yet experienced human civilization, they obviously did not know how to take off the Astartes' power armor, so they simply placed the Astartes next to Leon and let him lie as flat as possible.
Leon checked the current condition of this Astartes and found that he had multiple internal bleedings all over his body. One of his two hearts and three lungs were shattered, and the remaining heart and lungs were also in poor condition.
Although the suspended animation meninges had tried their best to put the Astartes into a state of suspended animation and reduce the consumption of his body functions, the long-term lack of nutrition and blood supply still made his limbs turn a pale color that only dead people have.
If nothing was done, he would be on the verge of death. Leon could only temporarily put aside his concern for the Felyne and focus on the urgent treatment of Astartes.
Leon briefly considered how he would treat him. He first injected him with a nutrient shot, then planned to use the solar-powered battle axe to split open his chest.
However, the opponent's body was much stronger than that of an ordinary Astartes. Even though Leon used the finest items issued by the Bishop's Guard, it took him a lot of effort to dissect the opponent's body without activating the decomposition technique.
This level of toughness is somewhat similar to that of the humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex protagonist in Monster Hunter. Could it be that this is also a blessing given to them by their ability to absorb genes?
As Leon pondered, he picked out the tissue fragments from beneath the black shell piece by piece. After sorting out the many internal organs that had become a mess, Leon was finally able to apply forceful pressure and knot the internal bleeding.
Fortunately, the Second Legion's gene-seed, besides being sufficiently strong, also seemed to possess remarkable self-healing abilities. After absorbing nutrients from the nutrient needles, the genes, now fueled by power, moved vigorously with Leon's manual assistance, patching up the bleeding wounds and preventing further blood loss.
Simply stopping it does not mean replenishing it. With very little blood and only one heart, Astarte's body is no longer able to pump blood to the legs that are far away from the heart, and his life is still in danger.
Li Ang was not vague. He directly cut off the opponent's legs, which had become a burden. The fact that only a little blood flowed out of the legs confirmed Li Ang's idea.
But the fact that there wasn't much blood flowing out didn't mean the wound didn't need to be treated. It was just that the lack of medical supplies on hand made Leon a little confused.
He had originally used a plasma pistol at the lowest power to shoot a burst of plasma at the wound, in order to seal the wound left by the amputation through high-temperature carbonization. But when Leon touched his back, he found that the plasma pistol had disappeared without a trace.
Without the plasma gun, Leon had to think of other ways to seal the wound. At this moment, the Felyne cat that had been lying at the door looking around came to Leon's side again.
He called out to Leon, signaling him to turn around. Leon looked back and saw an elderly-looking cat lady, surrounded by many Felynx, approaching him.
She nodded solemnly to Li Ang, then handed him a small stone bowl. Li Ang took it and saw that it contained a paste made from various crushed herbs, which also exuded an attractive fragrance.
"Did you bring it specially for me?" Li Ang pointed at himself.
Granny Cat nodded. Although they couldn't communicate in the same language, she clearly understood Leon's meaning from his gestures. After nodding, she came to the side of the newly amputated Astarte and pointed her front paw at the wound.
Leon suddenly understood, realizing that this paste was probably the homemade herbs of the Felynx. He had originally intended to use his ion pistol to treat the wound, but instead he applied the herbs evenly to Astarte's wound.
Although he didn't know what these herbs were made of, they were surprisingly effective. Seeing the wounds quickly healing, and the Astarte's complexion beginning to brighten with the lessened burden on his limbs, Leon finally put down his busy hands and turned to look at the Felynes.
He found that the Felyne cats were not idle during this time. They helped clean up the bloodstains on the ground and the internal organs fragments thrown out by Leon, and made the cave tidy again.
After seeing Li Ang finish his work, they gathered behind Grandma Cat again and looked at Li Ang with curiosity and admiration.
Leon touched his head. He certainly knew that the Felynes were a friendly, gentle, and intelligent race, but he was still a little confused by their attitude.
Just as he was about to investigate, he discovered that Granny Cat had pulled out a plasma pistol from nowhere. Although there was a cat paw print on the trigger of the pistol, Leon immediately recognized it as his own plasma pistol.
Granny Cat handed Leon a plasma pistol and a scale of a Dynamax dragon. Leon stared at his pistol and the scale, and suddenly thought of an unusual possibility.
He stared with wide eyes at the Felyne cats who returned their weapons and handed over proof of their "trophies".
"You're not going to use my pistol... to kill the Explosive Dragon?"
Chapter 22: Elu Cat's Dinner Party
Because of the language barrier, Leon obviously couldn't get the answers to his questions directly from the Felyne cats. However, after handing Leon the plasma pistol and the Explosive Dragon Scales, the Felyne cats tugged at his trouser legs, seemingly inviting him to leave the cave and head outside.
Leon accepted the invitation of the Felynes and followed them out of the cave. Only then did he discover that a grand bonfire party was being held in the open space outside the cave.
A group of Felyns sat around a campfire. In front of the campfire, there were several Felyns wearing grass skirts and holding spears tied with stones. They were twisting their limbs and dancing an unknown dance wildly.
In a trance, Li Ang seemed to see a group of indigenous people from the Stone Age.
Although this group of Felynx were primitive, their organized and purposeful behavior clearly showed signs of civilization. They were currently holding a hunting celebration, and the target of their hunt was obvious—the small dragon head belonging to the Explosive Scales placed by the campfire confirmed Leon's previous suspicions.
On the bonfire behind the dancing Felyne was a piece of back meat peeled off from the Dynamax. Several Felyne, using stones to prop themselves up, were standing by the barbecue, turning the meat over tirelessly and roasting this hard-earned delicacy.
Leon felt a sense of absurdity, like a dragon prince telling Benboerba to kill Tang Sanzang and his disciples, and then the next day he actually showed up with a monkey's head. He couldn't imagine how much the Felyne's strength would cost them to kill the severely injured Explosive Dragon, even with a plasma gun.
But before Leon could think of anything, the cat lady who had brought Leon to the scene called out. After hearing her voice, all the cats in the room fell silent.
They turned their gaze towards Grandma Cat, and naturally saw Li Ang standing beside her.
Granny Cat slowly dragged Leon to a specially raised mound. Since Leon was too tall for Felynx, Felynx's follower, Felynx, took the initiative to act as a cat stand and lifted Granny Cat up.
Finally reaching Leon's level, Granny Cat grabbed Leon's hand with her front paws and raised it high, meowing as if announcing something to all the Felines. After Granny Cat's words, the previously quiet party scene suddenly erupted into a more lively atmosphere, and all the Felines began to raise their paws and cheer.
The cat in charge of the barbecue cut a large piece of meat from the back of the Explosive Dragon and placed it on a stone plate. The hunter cat, who was dancing under the campfire, held the plate with his paws and respectfully presented it to Leon. Leon was a little hesitant at first, but after seeing the expectant eyes of the cats around him, he grabbed the well-cooked tenderloin with his hands and put it into his mouth.
The long-lost delicacy made Li Ang's eyes widen. The human taste buds were now fully utilized. The perfect combination of the herbal aroma and the tender, crispy roasted meat was locked into the meat by the spices. Only when Li Ang took a bite did its delicious flavor burst forth from his lips and teeth.
This delicious taste made Leon, who had long been surviving on nutrient solution and energy, suddenly recall his enjoyment of delicious food as an ordinary human being - that was one of the greatest pleasures humans have in any normal enjoyment.
With that one bite, Leon, having tasted the joy that was meant for humans, even began to understand why Old Man Huang cared so much about the purity and identity of human flesh. The Felyne cats erupted in cheers as they watched Leon devour the first piece of meat.
The cats who served as chefs began to cut the roasted tenderloin into pieces and put them on plates, delivering them to all the cats who attended the party one by one. In addition to the barbecue, the cats also provided a lot of berries they picked and fruit wine mixed with Polygonum multiflorum.
Although he no longer relied on food to survive, Leon quickly joined in the revelry among the Feline cats. After eating and drinking their fill, when many Feline cats had already fallen asleep on the ground, Granny Cat once again approached Leon.
Granny Cat narrowed her eyes, clearly enjoying the revelry, but she remained sober throughout the entire banquet. After the party, Granny Cat once again approached Leon and led him to another cave. This seemed to be the warehouse of the Felynes. Leon looked inside and found some materials for the Explosive Dragon stacked up.
Granny Cat pointed at the piles of scales and dragon skins, indicating that they were Leon's spoils of war.
Unexpectedly, Leon felt a surge of joy, as if a bounty had been harvested. However, there was something more pressing than just the spoils of war. If it weren't for the spoils, why were these Felynx so determined to kill the Explosive Dragon?
He tried to communicate with Granny Cat, "While I understand that you consider me a hero for severely injuring the Explosion Dragon, I'm more curious about why you later took over and completed the hunt for the Explosion Dragon."
"Although the Explosion Dragon was severely damaged, it's not something you can easily capture. What makes you willing to make such a huge sacrifice to capture the Explosion Dragon?"
Thanks to the fact that the communication among the oil men is either binary swear words or full-scale violence with rich body language, Li Ang's ability of body expression is surprisingly good.
The cat lady's expression became a little sad when she understood what Li Ang meant. She turned around and took Li Ang to the other side of the cave, where there were many rough murals carved on the walls.
Leon carefully examined the murals and discovered that they were actually a brief record of the past of the Felyne tribe:
From the gradual formation of systematic tribes and the inheritance of experience long ago, to the beginning of the polishing of stone tools, and then because they could hunt some small ornithopods and other prey with stone tools, they were regarded as enemies competing for food by the overlords of each territory and were expelled...
The development of the Felynes was very similar to that of humans, the only difference being that humans on Earth were still top predators even after losing their external possessions, whereas the Felynes, having entered the Stone Age, were still ravaged by all sorts of terrifying dragon species on the planet.
As a result, the Felynes were caught in a vicious cycle where they could not fight against dragons unless they developed to a certain level, but if they could not fight against dragons, they would not have the space to develop to a certain level.
Many years passed, and their civilization remained stuck in the Stone Age. During this time, they encountered fire dragons, saw explosive hammer dragons, were attacked by boom dragons, and even had themselves toyed with and hunted by explosive scale dragons...
No matter who the opponent is, the Felyns can only run away, and the number of their tribe continues to shrink in the process. Almost every Felyn feels despair about their own future.
But at this moment, Leon appeared.
He fought with the flying Explosive Dragon in mid-air like a god descending from heaven, and used his weapon that could emit rage as hot as the sun to severely damage the evil Explosive Dragon. This was something that all the Felyne cats dared not even think about!
Compared to those huge monsters, Leon is more similar to the Felyne who can walk upright in terms of size and appearance. Since Leon can use his wisdom and means to severely damage the Blastoise, then the Felyne must also have the possibility to do so!
