"I still can't believe that with these preparations, I can really kill the Fengshan Dragon?" Scythe said as he touched the trigger of the dragon rifle. The trigger of a weapon of war is similar to that of a large gong at the stern of a ship, and the part for human control is a round and heavy anvil that requires a powerful hunter to swing a heavy hammer and smash the chopping board to trigger. The switch of the dragon strike gun is at the very front of the deck of the dragon strike ship, and there is a special tower to protect it, and no items are allowed to be stacked within a few meters of the perimeter to prevent accidental touch.

This murder weapon consumes hundreds of gold coins once it is triggered, and the rest of the wear and tear are not counted, just four heat sinks need to be produced in a week's work in the largest workshop in Locklac, and the price of materials and the cost of formula development are astronomical.

It's just that in this crisis-ridden world, no amount of money stacked can bring more security to human beings.

"Scythe, where are you from?" Emmon stood at the bow of the ship, the two-star hunter's forehead slightly bulging, and the two masked boys made way for him as he was ordered.

"Scarlet Kingdom Army, No. ......" Although he didn't know why the commander said this, the blue-clothed hunter still replied subconsciously.

"No, I'm not talking about that, I'm asking about your place of origin, your place of birth." Wang Li Hunter suppressed his answer and asked again with a smile.

"Kayi Village, a small village east of Scarlet, near the Devil's Furious Volcano, the Governor is afraid he hasn't heard of it." Kala laughed embarrassedly, "I failed the hunter test twice, and in the end, I was lucky enough to be selected by the Kingdom Army. ”

"I know that area, it's close to Ryan Yeru, isn't it?" Emon leaned back on the firing pad of the dragon rifle, and although the weight of the man was far from enough to activate the trigger, the Commander's movements still made the blue-clad hunter feel a little frightened.

Wang Li Hunter was not conscious, and chatted with him leisurely: "The volcano is really a good place, I don't have the resources there - on the mountainside dozens of kilometers away from the crater, you can casually find open-air hot springs. He showed a yearning look and exclaimed, "Hot springs! Can you believe that? You take off your hunting armor and just stick one toe in, and in that moment, the scars on your body are as if they have been brushed by the feathers of the golden sleeping bird, and they are healed. ”

"I know Jieyun Village, sir." Although he was confused, Eamon was obviously very happy at the moment, and the three-star hunter could only follow his meaning, "It's probably less than a day's journey from my village." ”

The open-air hot springs in Yuun Village are known as the "Divine Baths" and are the most famous spots in the entire continent. The village and Kai are about 100 kilometers apart, and it would take a whole day to walk on the Marutori cart. It's just that Jieyun Village is built on the mountainside, and there is no place for airships to dock, so business travelers and civilians who are unwilling to suffer from the road will choose to spend their lives in the slightly inferior hot springs at the foot of the mountain.

"I've never been there, and it's said that the head of Jieyun Village is a female dragon, is that true?" Through the lookout of the tray, Aemon looked out toward the endless desert in the distance.

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes." Kamaka told the truth, "But our village chief has mentioned it a few times, saying that she is very beautiful, and that it is the second most beautiful scenery in Yukumo Village after the hot springs. ”

"Let me tell you a secret, do you know why most of the small human settlements, villages and small towns in the New World are dragons?" Aemon asked suddenly.

"An agreement between humans and dragonmen, right?" Whether it is a soldier or a hunter, this historical knowledge is not something that Kamakor should be concerned about. The three-star hunter pursed his lips and scolded when his chief had become a corrupt scribe.

"It's a pact between humans, dragons, and monsters." As if reading through the minds of his subordinates, Eamon explained, "I accompany His Highness to read, and occasionally consult some ancient books on my own—the royal library is the tallest building in the royal city of Scarlet, and no one who is in it does not want to go inside to see what is going on. ”

Legend has it that at the end of a human-dragon war, the decline of the human race was fully revealed, and the dragon human race intervened in the war. Whether it is voluntary or coercive, out of morality or interest, this powerful race with magical abilities in everyone has finally put down the mentality of standing by and appearing on the battlefield as a third party in the battle situation. Soon after, the War of the Humans and Dragons came to an abrupt end, leaving behind the devastated Old World and the first warriors who hurried to the New World to expand their territory.

"In ancient books, it is said that there are guys among the dragon people who can communicate with monsters," a hint of cunning flashed in Wang Li's eyes, "so some people speculate that they may have signed a non-aggression tripartite pact with monsters together with humans." And in order to fulfill that treaty, the dragons had to enter human society in a big way. ”

"What is this?" Kama's eyes narrowed into a slit, "Chikai?" "Not to mention whether there are human races in the world that can communicate with monsters, even if there are, those natural disasters that swallow clouds and fog will not understand what a "treaty" is, let alone not invade each other for such a long time.

"I grew up in a village in the south, and my village chief was a jerk. He was an alcoholic, and sometimes used his four-fingered hand to scare children. "Once he was drunk and told me that he had come to the human village to protect our weak race. In ten years, there have been fifteen hunters of different ranks in my village, and seven of them in the Kingdom Army. The old guy has a beer belly bigger than a woman with a baby - why do you think he said that? ”

"He's drunk?" Scythe said tentatively, but saw that Emon's eyes were playful, and he didn't react at all to hearing the correct answer. The three-star hunter was defeated and waved his hand repeatedly, "Okay sir, I don't know what you're talking about at all. ”

"Let's put it another way." Emon coughed, "If only the weapon of the ancient dragon material can kill the ancient dragon, then where did the first weapon of the ancient dragon material of the human race come from?" ”

"I've been thinking about this since I was a child, probably because humans happened to meet the ancient dragon species that lost both." The blue-clothed hunter laughed dryly, "You know, human beings have existed for at least tens of thousands of years, and there will always be one or two guys who have gone lucky. ”

"You're not on the right track." Aemon raised his hand and beckoned the sickle to come to him. Wang Li Hunter stood on tiptoe and whispered in the ears of his subordinates who were taller than him, "The dragon people are born to be a race capable of killing ancient dragons. ”

"What?" The three-star hunter looked like he had been struck by lightning.

"There are not many hunters who are active as dragonmen on the mainland, and there are countless half-blood dragonmen. In Scarlet, there are no less than five dragonmen who can afford the title of top hunter, and two of them are currently in Locklac. Wang Li Hunter smiled lightly, "But this dragon striking ship, which theoretically needs the top hunters in the mainland, does not have a place that belongs to the dragon man, do you want to know why?" ”

"In the past few decades, at more than a hundred harvest festivals, there has never been a single half-blood dragon in the dragon ship." "It's not a coincidence, it's the Hunters' Guild, or the world is trying to avoid a possibility—"

"How so?" The three-star hunter still couldn't believe it, "The unique toxins in the blood and bones of the ancient dragons are also incurable poisons to other ancient dragon species, except for that kind of weapon, human beings have no way to fight the vigorous vitality of the ancient dragon species......"

"That's what the Scribes told you." Emmon is not in a hurry, "What can kill the ancient dragon species is not the kind of attack or what kind of weapon, but what kind of 'fact'. ”

"As long as a lethal attack is carried out with the participation of the Elder Dragons, whether it is its will, its flesh and bones, or its blood, it can cause the death of the Elder Dragons - these creatures flying around in the sky and littering the Scourge like excrement are actually easier to kill than we think."

"The Dragonman ......"

"That's right." Seeing the sickle, he finally understood, "Who do you think came up with the name 'Dragon Family'?" In the bloodline of dragonmen, there are parts of the ancient dragon species that are born, and those who have knees back are the closest dragon families to humans. ”

"So," Ka's gaze glanced at the two masked boys standing behind him, "is that the reason......"

"Your Highness's painstaking research is not just to create some obedient puppets, the resources and money that Wang Li's hunting group has put in research and development are enough to hire twice as many loyal hunters as these." Eamon took out a purple vial from his waist, placed it in front of his eyes, and watched the liquid in the bottle spin in his hand, "Your Highness likes another function of it. With the bloodline of the dragon clan and the dragon strike rifle of the humans, no ancient dragon species can escape our pursuit. ”

"My dragons will be the first dragon-slaying beings after the human-dragon war, and you and I will be the witnesses of the fall of the first ancient dragon species in the new continent."

…………

"After the airship changed hands, Wang Li's hunting group issued an order through the mouths of several captains, and now it is the Blue Enchantress who is patrolling around the dragon ship." Ah Yuan squatted in the corner and explained.

Walking with the three captains of the combined team, although he had to go against all his colleagues in the entire hunting group, Ah Yuan felt a sense of security in his heart for no reason. Uncle Zhong and Maomao in front of them were cautiously looking towards the other side of the corner, calculating the location of the sentry post and the possible infiltration gap.

"This is what I ordered." Lan Mei'er pursed her lips. The woman didn't want her hands to touch the mysterious visitor on the sand boat, and she wanted to make a show on the periphery of the dragon ship, but she didn't expect her subordinates to carry out her orders so thoroughly. A low house has been erected near the sand boat, and teams of hunters patrol it meticulously. The infiltration team had been observing this corner for nearly ten minutes, and had not found a single gap.

"Ah Yuan, let me confirm again, do you really want to do this?" Captain He straightened his helmet and whispered to his former subordinates, "The situation on the dragon ship is unknown, and there must be a lot of battles waiting for us. If you're seen with us all the way, there's no turning back. ”

"There's a civilian in your ranks," the young man's gaze turned to Lu Xiu, who was probably only three or four years older than the little dragon man, "and a child who has just become an official hunter, and I have no reason to be compared to these little ghosts." ”

Lu Xiu nodded in response, and did not report his record of holding off the four masked boys between the two boats. Ao Sen felt the young man's eyes and bared his teeth at Ah Yuan, causing the latter to panic again.

"Don't move...... the boy pressed the orc's back, and Orson's upper body trembled, and he fell to the ground and didn't move, but his throat still whined, as if begging the dragonman for forgiveness.

"Nope." After holding his breath for a while, the little black charcoal seemed to fall from the sky and fell on the shoulders of Team Leader Zhong. The old hunter's shoulders sank, "Did you find anything?" ”

"This ship is much more guarded than an airship," Eru said, sorting through her information along the way, "The patrol routes of the Blue Enchantress's hunters have been deliberately optimized—I'm afraid they're targeting us." ”

"Then it's the same as Captain He's previous strategy, I show up, as long as I gain their trust, it won't be difficult to pass through the defense line." Lan Mei'er took the initiative to ask.

"That's where it's hard." Ai Lu showed a difficult expression, "The patrol routes of the Blue Enchantress's hunters are all a few hundred meters away from the dragon slayer, and the bow, stern, cargo compartment opening, and gangway are deliberately avoiding the hunters. The people who were part of the combined team don't seem to be able to gain the trust of the sandboats, and they may have a second, more tightly guarded line in important positions. ”

"It's just a sand boat, surrounded like a hunter's headquarters." Captain He snorted.

"Strange," Black Charcoal stretched out his pink tongue and licked his flesh, he jumped off his master's shoulder, raised his arms flat in front of him, and spun in all directions.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yingying asked nervously, the scar on the girl's arm stabbed for no reason, and a bead of blood flowed down the wound.

"Over here—" Ai Lu pointed in the direction of the bow of the sand boat, and the orc's face was facing the depths of the battlefield, and a slight coolness was shining on the palm of his flesh, "The wind is blowing." ”
