Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Hunting the Tigrex (III)

"The Tigrex has entered a violent state, pay attention to its roar and dodge!"

Leon reminded loudly in the communication. He had already told the Astartes how to deal with the violent dragon. However, theory cannot always solve all problems.

Seeing the angry dragon raising its neck and roaring, Sergeant Arlo and his three companions immediately locked the hearing system of their power armors, trying to block out the sound from the outside world.

The roar of the Tigrex is by no means a simple sound. This roar that can be transmitted for dozens of kilometers away has already created a wave of air that seems to be real. The huge energy hits the power armor along the sound waves, forcing the extraordinary warriors wearing power armor weighing nearly half a ton to retreat again and again.

The huge sound also traveled along the metal of the power armor as a solid medium to the ears that had already shut down their hearing systems. The Lyman's Ear, which could filter out certain noises, was unable to withstand this level of pressure.

The three Astartes nearby groaned, blood flowed from their ears, and even their sense of balance was temporarily lost.

The situation of the CMC team responsible for fire support at a distance was much better. Although they were also in pain, at least they had not lost their sense of balance and could continue shooting.

However, the furious Tigrex ignored this harmless attack and stepped forward, once again displaying its charge posture. Currently, it was Sergeant Arlo who was frightened by its roar and was unable to move!

Even though he had been mentally prepared beforehand, Leon had never imagined that the roar would be so shocking.

He frowned as he looked at the immobile Sergeant Arlo - the support system of the power armor would ensure that the Space Marine who lost his balance could still stand firmly on the ground, but could not move. However, if he could not move, Sergeant Arlo's fate would be decided now.

Leon had no choice but to take out his plasma pistol, and he hastily fired without even having time to charge. Fortunately, the dragon had a deep impression of this kind of plasma shooting.

The damage it had suffered last time was still fresh in its memory, so even in an angry state, it subconsciously turned its head to dodge the high-speed plasma. This behavior slightly deflected the direction of the charge and reduced the momentum of the dragon's sprint.

Finally coming to his senses, Sergeant Arlo dodged sideways and narrowly avoided the Tigrex. But before he could rejoice, he found that the cunning Tigrex used its weakened momentum and deflected direction to forcibly complete a drift turn in the process of the charge.

Now, its target was no longer Sergeant Arlo, but another Space Marine holding a power sword who had just come to his senses!

"No!"

Sergeant Arlo's eyes were glaring, but the dragon chariot's momentum could not be stopped! The high-speed crawling dragon crashed into the Astartes, knocking him directly into the air. The huge impact force caused him to draw a parabola in the air, and he eventually sank into the jungle.

Apart from the dust stirred up by the collision, there was no other movement.

Sergeant Arlo and the remaining Astartes wanted to stop the Tigrex when it stopped after sprinting, but they didn't expect that the Tigrex, which had just finished sprinting, suddenly turned around and threw a huge rock that had just fallen from the cliff due to the impact of the Tigrex at the Astartes who was rushing in the front!

The Astartes was unable to dodge and was hit directly by the boulder. Although he could still be heard panting, he had already fallen to the ground, obviously seriously injured. In just half a minute, only Sergeant Arlo was left of the three Astartes responsible for the close combat siege.

The Tigrex, who had mastered the rhythm of the attack, showed his overwhelming and terrifying strength. His continuous attack, like a tidal wave, put the entire hunting team in a precarious situation!

Seeing his companion fall, Sergeant Arlo's eyes turned red. He raised his power sword and wanted to fight the dragon in close combat, but his behavior was stopped by Leon in time.

"Keep calm, Sergeant Arlo!" Leon reminded, "This dragon is already at the end of its strength, and now it is just making a last-ditch effort! Your close combat is helping it conserve its energy and increase the distance, so that it can only approach you by sprinting!"

Although Sergeant Arlo was angry, he had not lost his mind. He decisively followed Leon's instructions and distanced himself from the Dragon.

Lieutenant Dwayne turned over from his shooting point and threw another flash bomb. This flash bomb did not scare the Dragon, who had a certain resistance to flash. However, while the Dragon closed his eyes and recovered his consciousness, Lieutenant Dwayne had already dragged the seriously injured Astartes away from the battlefield.

Now, only Sergeant Arlo was left on the scene, who had distanced himself from the dragon.

It was eager to fight, but Sergeant Arlo did not accept the challenge.

He circled the roaring dragon cautiously. Without the roar to intimidate, its charges were in vain. Its anger gradually subsided, replaced by gradually heavy breathing, and the survival instinct of the creature reoccupied its head after the anger subsided.

The shots that were ignored in the angry state did cause damage. After its violent state of ignoring pain disappeared, all the fatigue and pain that had accumulated previously burst out in its body in one breath.

It whimpered and stopped charging. After realizing that it couldn't quickly deal with the remaining opponents, it was seriously injured, and the only thing left in its mind was to escape.

It opened its mouth and roared intimidatingly, then gathered its limbs and fled away from the battlefield on all fours. It no longer paid attention to Sergeant Arlo's shouting and the bullets that continued to shoot into its body, and focused on escaping embarrassingly.

Lieutenant Dwayne threw another flash bomb to try to stop it, but it was swatted away by the prepared Dragon's claws. The exploding flash bomb prevented Sergeant Arlo from chasing.

Sergeant Arlo, who turned around to avoid the flash bomb, realized that they could no longer stop the escape, and he could only hope for the person who was prepared in the distance.

"Leon!" He took off his helmet, revealing his face that was already stained with blood: "Stop it!"

Leon did not reply; he just stood in the way of the Tigrex with his solar axe.

It had noticed Leon a long time ago, but now it was no longer able to take revenge on him. The damage Leon had caused made it afraid to lower its body and prepare to start the final charge.

It staked its life on this last charge, making its final struggle using its most common attack method.

But Leon will not show mercy; he will only crush the last hope of this beast!
