Chapter 306: Buckhouse's Pursuit

Gao Fei's berserker was napping in the cabin. Hearing the alarm, he hurried to the deck and looked up at the sky in the direction of Al's finger.

The summer afternoon was sunny and the sky was blue and clear without a trace of clouds.

However, under the clear sky, a white shadow was flying at high speed, following the fishing boat and approaching.

Along with the white shadow, there was also a creepy cold airflow, which seemed particularly strange in this sunny season!

Eve, Mu Ning and Wu Shi also came to the stern, looking up at the white shadow in the sky that was getting closer and closer, and their eyes could not hide their uneasiness.

Gao Fei recalled the content of the conversation between Gelmir and the old white dragon August before he left the Resting Island yesterday, and he had guessed about 70% of the identity of the white shadow in the sky.

In order to verify his judgment, he opened the star disk and explored the details of the white shadow in the sky.

The results of the investigation soon showed that it was an adult white dragon named "Buckhouse", the eldest son of the old white dragon August.

This dragon, who was ordered to hunt down Gao Fei and his party, has a challenge level of 10, 225 health points, strength of 28, agility of 12, constitution of 20, intelligence of 10, perception of 14, and charm of 16.

What impressed Gao Fei the most was Buckhouse's defense.

In addition to the 17-level natural defense and +1 agility modification of an adult white dragon, Buckhouse also has a magic shield, which provides +4 shield defense, minus 1 point of large size penalty, and a comprehensive defense level of 31.

The spellcasting ability of an adult white dragon is equivalent to that of a 2nd to 4th level warlock. Under normal circumstances, the highest level of magic that can be comprehended is 1st level magic.

Buckhouse's super high defense shows that this guy is good at 1st level "shield magic".

Gao Fei was glad that Buckhouse did not comprehend "mage armor", otherwise it would be even more difficult to break the defense.

Similar to red dragons, white dragons are also good at dragon power, dragon breath, keen vision, 10/magic damage reduction armor, spell resistance, multi-attack, swooping crush, and immunity to sleep and paralysis.

However, in contrast to red dragons, white dragons belong to the cold subspecies, are naturally immune to cold damage, but will be doubled by fire attacks.

It seems that red dragons and white dragons with opposite attributes should become a pair of enemies.

However, in reality, red dragons do not take white dragons of the same age seriously, and their strength is overwhelmingly superior to the latter.

Take the dragon's most important attack method "dragon breath" for example. The dragon breath of a young red dragon is as powerful as that of an adult white dragon. Both cause 10d6 damage, and the attack range is also 60 feet linear or 30 feet cone, but the former is flame and the latter is cold current.

As an adult white dragon, Backhouse can walk freely on the smooth ice without falling. In addition, he has mastered the specialties of "strong", "survival expert", "heart and body" and "powerful attack".

Gao Fei briefly evaluated Backhouse's strength and felt that it would be difficult for him to fight this ferocious adult white dragon in human form, but if he turned into a red dragon and fought him, it would be a sure win, if not a 50-50 chance.

At this time, the white dragon Backhouse had already flown above the fishing boat, and its huge body was less than a hundred feet away from the deck. The fierce aura radiated from its body, making Eve and others on the boat feel fear involuntarily and panic.

Gao Fei carried Olaf's holy axe, raised his head and glared at the white dragon hovering in the air, and issued a "bloody war cry" to dispel the fear of his companions, but unfortunately he failed to scare Backhouse away.

Eve, Al and Ush came to their senses and quickly attacked the white dragon above their heads with "acid erosion rays" and javelins.

Two javelins hit Buckhouse and bounced off immediately, failing to penetrate the hard dragon scales.

The magic ray shot by Eve was not blocked by the dragon scales, corroding a fist-sized hole in his chest, causing 12 points of acid damage

Although this level of trauma was nothing to a strong adult white dragon, Buckhouse was still surprised and hurriedly flapped his wings to fly away from the attack range of the "acid ray", and then chanted the spell, and a large cloud of thick fog emerged from his body.

Under the cover of the "Hidden Mist", Buckhouse could dive down to the deck with confidence.

While descending at a high speed, the fog that covered the sky also followed around him and pressed down towards the deck, blocking the vision of Gao Fei and others, and all the subsequent long-range attacks were in vain.

In a blink of an eye, the white dragon had approached within 30 feet above the deck, opened its mouth under the cover of the thick fog, and sprayed out a cone of cold current.

White cold air gushed out from the thick fog, pushing from the stern to the bow, condensing a thick layer of frost on the deck.

Gao Fei, Eve, Mu Ning, Al and Wu Shi, who were standing on the deck, were all sprayed by the dragon's breath.

Eve, Al and Mu Ning were all frozen pale.

Mu Ning was lucky to avoid damage with the "flash".

The holy axe in Gao Fei's hand has an immunity advantage against cold attacks, protecting him from "reflex immunity".

Under normal circumstances, he should receive half of the dragon's breath damage, but Gao Fei also has a trick of "wild intuition", as long as he passes the reflex immunity, he can be completely immune.

Standing on the bow covered with frost, Gao Fei looked up at the sky.

Seeing Buckhouse hovering in the sky, he knew that this guy was waiting for the dragon's breath to cool down.

White dragons have always been recognized as the stupidest and most barbaric type of dragon. Backhouse did not land directly for hand-to-hand combat, but instead used his flying advantage to continuously spit out dragon breath. This shows that he is one of the more clever ones among the white dragons.

Of course, it is more likely that he received guidance from the Ice Tower Warlock Gelmir before coming here, and knew that the prey he was tracking was definitely not a soft persimmon, so he was particularly cautious.

"Eve, take the others and hide in the cabin immediately! I will deal with the white dragon in the sky!"

After hurriedly explaining two sentences, Gao Fei activated "Rage", transformed into a red dragon, and spread his wings to fly off the deck.

This time, Gao Fei chose the "Runaway" mode, which increased his agility attribute to 25. In addition to gaining a huge advantage in mobility, it can also provide +7 agility correction for defense, and the comprehensive defense level reaches 33, which is 2 levels higher than Buckhouse.

Choosing the "Runaway" mode, the strength attribute becomes a shortcoming.

Fortunately, after Gao Fei turned into a dragon, he still held the Holy Axe tightly.

Counting the 4 points of strength provided by the Holy Axe, his strength attribute is now 26, only 2 points lower than Buckhouse, basically at the same level.

In addition to increasing strength, the Holy Axe also provides Gao Fei with 5/Adamantium damage reduction armor and an advantage in attack rolls against evil creatures.

Dragon's natural weapons come with enchanted special effects.

So when two dragons clash, each other's damage reduction armor (10/magic) is just a decoration and has no damage reduction effect at all.
