About a second later, Zhou Chen also heard the strange sound the tall girl was talking about. The sound was low and powerful. It came from the sky outside the room. At first, it was faint and indiscernible, but gradually, it became clearer, and even caused a slight shaking in the room.
“It seems like a large ferocious beast is flying over…”
The refined young man’s smile was gone. He stood up from the seat and quickly walked to the window to observe.
Zhou Chen also stood up, but because he had the passive skill, Bloodthirst, he did not need to go to the window to know where the target was.
“It’s a wyvern… a wyvern is coming!”
The refined young man looked up at the sky from the window with a shocked expression.
Zhou Chen also walked to the window. Around him, the tall girl and a few refugees gathered and looked out of the window with surprised expressions.
In the gloomy sky with snowflakes floating outside the window, a two-winged lizard monster that looked like a classic Western dragon was flying over with its wings spread.
It did not look particularly large, but it was still the size of an ordinary truck. Combined with its ferocious appearance, it gave off an oppressive feeling.
‘I wonder what passive skill will drop if I can kill this monster…’
Zhou Chen thought as he observed the wyvern.
Suddenly, the wyvern swooped down and breathed a hot red beam of light from its mouth, burning the houses in Cedar Town.
Boom!
The sound of flames burning and the sound of buildings collapsing sounded. The originally white scene was stained with jumping red.
“Everyone, get out! It’s dangerous to stay here!”
Zhou Chen only observed the wyvern that was breathing fire outside the window for half a second before turning and charging towards the door.
He predicted that the wyvern that was breathing fire freely might attack this area. Even if it did not, it was easy to be trapped by the expanding fire outside while hiding in this house.
Soon, more than ten people ran to the streets and began to escape from the area where the wyvern was wreaking havoc.
Zhou Chen looked at the refined young man beside him as he ran.
“Can you knock that thing down from the sky?”
“No.”
The refined young man immediately replied.
“Ignoring the resistance it might have, just the height and speed of its flight are enough to make sure my skill cannot reach it.”
Zhou Chen was silent when he heard this. He thought about whether he should use the Windrun skill to try killing the wyvern.
“If I use all my strength, I might be able to touch it when it swoops down, but I might also attract its attention during this process, leading to a huge danger. I don’t feel like the crossbow would work too, and it’s definitely not powerful enough.”
After some thought, Zhou Chen gave up on the idea of attacking. The risk was too high and the possibility of a successful attack was very low.
Roar!
As a slanted fire pillar streaked across the building not far from them, Zhou Chen and the others felt a huge heat. They hid behind a pile of snow and looked at the wyvern breathing fire wildly. They felt helpless.
“I didn’t expect this world to have such a thing. It’s indeed very dangerous.”
The refined young man squatted behind the pile of snow and adjusted his glasses.
“It’s coming! Let’s split up!”
Suddenly, the monster breathed fire in the direction of Zhou Chen and the others, making the three of them immediately feel the pressure increase. The tall girl immediately suggested that everyone escape in different directions, to avoid attracting its attention by being in a group.
“This Cedar Town is really unlucky. Even though it’s hard for the fire to spread in this snowy land, the current losses are already very serious.”
Zhou Chen sighed inwardly as he ran along the path towards the town entrance.
“You damned beast!”
Suddenly, a shout came from in front of him. The sharp-eared young man raised the longbow in his hand and shot an arrow at the wyvern.
His archery was not bad. He hit the wyvern that was over a hundred meters away, but the power was clearly not enough. The arrow bounced off the wyvern’s body and landed on the ground.
“Oh no… this would not attract that thing, right?”
Although the sharp-eared young man’s arrow did not break the wyvern’s defense, Zhou Chen suspected that the arrow would attract the attention of the wyvern and implicate him as well.
He quickly turned around and crossed the street, charging into an alley between two houses.
Just as Zhou Chen approached the alley, he felt heat coming from behind. He turned around and saw that the wyvern’s attention was indeed attracted and was flying over, breathing fire at the sharp-eared young man dozens of meters away.
The sharp-eared young man looked to be quite strong. He ran towards the entrance of the town quickly with his long legs, never letting the flames behind him reach him, and luring the wyvern out of the town.
“This speed… he is not slower than me.”
Zhou Chen thought inwardly. He felt that this native’s strength was not simple.
While observing the direction outside the town, he saw a familiar figure running over from afar. He saw Dave charging over with his bow. As he rushed forward, he even drew the bow and shot at the wyvern.
“This person… doesn’t he know about kiting?”
Zhou Chen couldn’t help but shake his head slightly when he saw this. He felt that this blond burly man’s brain was not good. He actually took the initiative to charge in the direction of the wyvern.
However, he quickly realized that Dave was also not a simple person. His arrows were fast and accurate, and the force behind them was very strong. Every arrow pierced into the wyvern’s body.
Moreover, his movements were agile as well. The wyvern’s flames swept at him several times but could not hit him. He dodged the fire pillars while counterattacking.
“This Dave is indeed not ordinary. He’s stronger than that sharp-eared guy.”
Zhou Chen had already expected that Dave was extraordinary when he saw him wearing short clothes in such a cold environment. Now, he realized that the latter was indeed extraordinary.
While Zhou Chen was exclaiming in surprise from afar, the battle situation changed again.
Perhaps the wyvern was angered by the arrows that Dave shot at it, but it suddenly flapped its huge wings and dived to the ground, biting at Dave.
“He’s finished…”
Seeing this, Zhou Chen knew that Dave was doomed. Because the difference in size was too large, even if Dave was talented, it would be difficult for him to fight back.
However, the situation went contrary to what Zhou Chen imagined. Dave was not bitten by the wyvern. Instead, he jumped onto the wyvern’s head and began to beat it up with his clay pot-sized fist, knocking it down on the ground.
“Impressive! I’ll lend you a hand!”
Zhou Chen’s heart instantly ignited when he saw this.. He activated his Windrun skill and charged over.
