Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: Hunting the Tigrex (II)

The charging Tigrex like a large dump truck seemed unstoppable, but after all, the distance was too far.

Leon, who had already escaped, did not get a chance to be caught by the charge. it ended up with only breaking a dozen trees.

Sergeant Arlo, who had been waiting for an opportunity, took advantage of the pause behind it to move forward and slashed at the tendon connecting the Tigrex body and membrane wings!

The power sword flashing with azure corona easily tore open the scales of the dragon and cut into its flesh. The dragon's muscles subconsciously tightened, trying to stop the blood from flowing out of the wound. But the residual energy of the power sword in the wound sizzled, charring the flesh and blood. It was obvious that there was no possibility of healing in a short time.

The electric current also relieved the strength of the originally tense muscles of it, causing the Tigrex, which was using its front paws to turn itself, to stagger suddenly.

The damage caused by the power sword made it tremble all over. It stared at Sergeant Arlo in disbelief, as if wondering why this little man who was being chased by it before had become a threat to it in the blink of an eye.

But as the overlord of the land, the reaction of the Tigrex was not vague. It tightened its waist and then suddenly exerted strength again. The rotation of its body made its claws and dragon tail become powerful weapons to force back anyone who got close.

Sergeant Arlo did not dare to take the attack head-on and could only dodge and retreat to avoid the range of the roaring dragon's rotation.

It pursued the enemy and after it finished circling, it stopped at the position where Sergeant Arlo was dodging. It opened its bloody mouth towards the Sergeant Arlo who had just rolled over to avoid it.

Sergeant Arlo adjusted his movements in time and narrowly avoided the first bite , but the it took a step forward and bit again, vowing to bite Sergeant Arlo in two!

He was not fighting alone. When the Tigrex was concentrating on biting Sergeant Alro, the other two fighting brothers had already come up from behind . They each slashed at the back with a sword.

The pained Tigrex was relieved of a lot of strength, and his fangs were still an inch away from Sergeant Arlo. However, Sergeant Arlo was not in a hurry after dodging, and he even had time to strike in the head with a sword before turning around and distanced himself.

After launching a round of attacks, the three people dispersed tacitly and observed the status of the Tigrex that had been hunted for a round.

"Sergeant Arlo, how does hunting feel?" Leon asked on the communication device: "Does the power sword work?"

"The monomolecular blade can break its scales, and the energy field on the power sword can also prevent the wound from healing and cause it to become slightly stiff. However, its counterattack is very fierce, and there is little time to inflict more damage to it."

Sergeant Arlo replied, his tone sounding confident: "But as long as I can cause damage, the rest is just a matter of time. I am confident that I can complete the hunt before the power armor runs out of energy."

"Then we will proceed according to the plan." Leon nodded. He was collecting data about the battle between the Tigrex and the Astartes from a distance, and at the same time making arrangements to prevent it from escaping: "Before the Tigrex gets angry, lead him to the battle site we have decided on earlier."

Sergeant Arlo confirmed Leon's order, and he commanded the other two combat brothers to retreat in unison. Although Honglong didn't know what these little guys were doing, it didn't know what it meant to lure the enemy in, nor did it know what it meant to protect itself.

The previous wound aroused its ferocity and now it could only stare and chase the group of Astartes. The Astartes mainly dodged and fought and retreated. The battle site was moved to the bottom of a cliff in the process of chasing and being chased.

Sergeant Arlo stood with his back to the cliff, ready to face the dragon. He waved his sword provocatively, then raised his middle finger.

It turns out that the attitude of contempt can be easily understood even across races. Although it may not understand what the middle finger means, he is obviously angered by the contemptuous aura of Sergeant Arlo.

The Tigrex, who always relied on his charge to get everything he wanted, once again took up his stance and roared as he began to charge at Sergeant Arlo. But Sergeant Arlo was no novice, he dodged with a graceful move, and even raised his sword along neck, cutting a thin line of blood on it.

Seeing that the first move failed, Honglong wanted to change direction and charge a second time, but now it was facing a cliff. How could Leon miss this opportunity?

Seeing that it had not yet completely stopped its charge, Leon decisively gave the order.

"Flash bomb, fire!" he shouted in the communication.

The CMC power armor team responsible for long-range fire support had been sitting still before. After receiving Leon's order, they took out flash bombs made from light insects from their leather hunting bags.

This firefly creature, which they had previously used as a natural lighting, was made into a rough-style flash bomb by him after he arrived. This was the first time it was used in actual combat, with a power no less than that of modern technological products, and the effect it achieved was unexpectedly good.

When the flash bomb was fired from the simple launcher into the path of the Dragon, the Dragon, who had no idea what a flash bomb was, did not dodge at all. When the flash bomb exploded and emitted a dazzling light, the Astartes all consciously turned their backs to dodge, but the Dragon was the only one who was hit hard.

Stimulated by the bright light and loud noise, the dragon suddenly lost its sense of direction. Without the control of its body, it could not even stop its pace towards the cliff, let alone turn.

It crashed into the cliff with a loud bang, and the huge impact force even made the entire cliff vibrate. The huge rocks that fell down hit the dragon, causing it to wail in pain.

Leon didn't need to remind them of such a good opportunity. Sergeant Arlo and his three men immediately stepped forward and slashed wildly at the dragon that hadn't yet pulled its head out of the cave it had created. At this moment, they didn't need any skills, they just needed to create as many wounds as possible on the dragon's tail and back.2

The CMC team, which had been hiding themselves, no longer hid themselves under the leadership of Lieutenant Dwayne. Taking advantage of the unexpected flash bomb, they held their C-14 Penetrator electromagnetic rifles and unscrupulously poured their firepower on the Tigrex.

Although all creatures on this planet are resistant to thermal weapons, Lieutenant Dwayne and his men were shooting at wounds that had been cut by the power sword and could not heal.

The dense solid bullets were shot at high speed into the already torn body , further aggravating its injuries.

Taking advantage of the gap when the dragon was stunned by the flash bomb, the hunting team had already caused considerable damage to the dragon. However, Leon, who knew that the dragon was thick-skinned and tough, knew that this level of attack would not bring a real end to the hunt.

Looking at it who had finally recovered from the shock of the flash bomb and pulled his head out of the rock wall, Leon narrowed his eyes after keenly observing that the Tigrex head and forelimbs began to turn blood red, knowing that the hunt had entered the final stage.

The final outcome between them and the Tigrex will be decided in the remaining few minutes!
