Chapter 22: Operation Shadow!
"Hehe, who should I be, it's Lord Nightblade, what's the matter?, did you send a signal for help?" said with a smile when the two ships met.
"No, the flare gun went off, don't worry too much. Nightblade said with a blushing face.
"Okay, let's not talk about that. The Desert Warrior shook his head and jumped from the ship to the deck of the Kasumi Strike ship, its dazzling golden armor glistening in the sunlight.
"The wind here is too strong, the signal flare can't fly high at all, according to my observation, the direction of the Fengshan Dragon is now exactly the Longyuan Ancient City, it is estimated that it may be the idea of hitting the iron spear cactus, we can follow up and climb to the highest point of the ancient city to launch the signal flare smoothly." Yarrow muttered to himself as he paced the dragon boat, casually watching everything on board.
"Hey, what's the matter with that big hole? you've been attacked?" the warhawk on the big ship asked, looking at the big hole that had been carved out by the night fire.
"Uh...... It was just an accident. Nightblade thought about it for a long time and couldn't come up with a good reason, so he turned around and stared at Nightfire viciously after prevaricating.
"Miss, we meet again, and I can't describe my mood at this time in any words. Arlo ignored Nightblade and walked over to Satsuki to say hello.
"You can call me Night Moon, Your Excellency. Satsuki replied politely.
"As the name suggests, Miss Nightmoon, your beauty can only be matched by the moonlight in the night. "He behaved like an impeccable gentleman, with such tactfulness in every movement.
"Thank you for the compliment. ”
"Okay, okay, I don't think you're here to pick up girls, are you?" Nightfire gave goosebumps at these meaty words, and finally jumped out to interrupt them in a fit of patience.
"You speak and act like a butcher more than a hunter. Yaluo frowned and said, which caused Xiao Yue and Ye Yu to laugh coquettishly.
"I'm here to hunt, I'm not here to drink tea!" scolded, and drew his sword and smashed it on the ground.
But the latter had no intention of entangling with the Nightfire any longer, and shook his head lightly to look at Nightblade and asked, "How is it?"
"It's obviously impossible for two dragon slayer ships to defeat a single Fengshan Dragon, so I think you're right, we'll go to the ancient city. Nightblade nodded in agreement.
"Then it's decided, we'll be waiting for you in the ancient city, I hope you don't be too slow, after all, the performance of this ship is not very good. Yarrow leaned into Nightblade's ear and whispered.
"Dang!"
"What are you doing?" a crisp sound and the angry roar of a warhawk came from behind them.
"What's going on?" Yarrow, the god of war, turned around just in time to see Nightfire in a throwing position, and on the deck of the ship lay an iron pickaxe and a few fragments of delphinium, a small gap clearly visible in the layer of delphinium on the Sand Town Dragonslayer.
"Oops, sorry, the pickaxe is out of my hands. Nightfire stood there with a harmless expression.
"Nightfire!, why are you so careless?" Nightblade suddenly went up and scolded angrily, but the expression on his face was extremely exciting, and he almost wrote the words "well done".
"I've wanted to do this for a long time!" Nightblade's heart roared.
"Nonsense! You did it on purpose! I can see it clearly! I don't teach you a lesson!" Warhawk shouted angrily, raised his light crossbow and began to load the ballot.
"Enough!"
Yalo let out a loud shout to stop the warhawk's actions, and then looked at Nightblade coldly and said, "A real hunter won't retaliate with such a despicable method, don't let me look down on you." ”
"Actually, you already look down on me, don't you?" Nightblade spread his hands.
"Let's go. Yarrow gave Nightblade a cold look, and finally walked away, and Warhawk spat at the mouth and turned back to the cabin.
Looking at the speeding dragon ship, Nightblade walked up to Nightfire and patted him on the shoulder and said with relief: "Young man, you are doing well, you are very promising." ”
"It's all up to the eldest brother to cultivate. Nightfire immediately lowered his head and said excitedly.
"Yes, yes, humble, I'm ready to reuse you. With a teachable expression, Nightblade took out a golden iron pickaxe and handed it to him and said, "This is the strongest iron pickaxe in the village, you can use it, I hope you can do better next time." ”
"Yes, yes, I will definitely perform well and definitely live up to my big brother's hopes. ”
"Well, try hard, boy, you'll ......"
Seeing the two of them playing treasure with each word, Ye Yu was already on the verge of rage, and picked up a wooden stick in his hand and gritted his teeth and roared: "These two super invincible idiots!
"Sister Night Feather... Let off steam... Don't get excited..."
"Roar~~~!"
At this moment, the Fengshan Dragon opened its mouth and let out a loud and unique long roar, rushing forward with a large wave of sand, and the two dragon striking boats were chasing one after the other, and the city wall of the ancient city of Longyuan could already be faintly seen at this time, as long as it reached there, it could launch a signal flare, and all the dragon striking ships would gather here to block the Fengshan Dragon.
Longyuan Ancient City
"Woo-woo-woo~~~"
In a shadow, the shadow leaned against a severely weathered stone pillar and blew a flute, the sound of the flute was low and sad, revealing a helpless and sad taste, which spread leisurely into the distance.
"Shadow, it's really rare to hear you blow the flute, when was the last time?3 years?Or 4 years?"
Hong leaned under another stone pillar and played with the knife in his hand, the sharp blade flying around his fingertips without hurting his fingers in the slightest.
The sad sound of the flute stopped abruptly, and the shadow silently put Xiao away and said: "It's not easy, you and I grew up together since childhood, and outsiders don't even have a chance to listen." ”
"Hey, two!" Terry walked out of an arch not far away as the two spoke, grinning widely, "The prey is here!"
The two of them looked at each other and got up at the same time.
"Look at this spectacle! This is the Fengshan Dragon! one of the largest ancient dragons in legend!" Terry laughed wildly as he stood tall on the wall.
"How come there is still a ship?" said the shadow to himself vigilantly.
"Look at that flag, it's the town of sand, it looks like it's still the leader ship, it should have a good combat power, there are only three of us. Hong said silently.
"I'm going to slaughter all the hunters from Sand Town!" Terry roared arrogantly.
"Don't worry, there will be a place for you in a moment. The shadow pulled a telescope out of his bosom and stretched it out to take a closer look at the two ships in progress.
"How do you separate them?" Hong asked.
The shadow was still silent, and it was not until the two ships reached the bottom of the ancient city that he put away the binoculars and said, "There is a delicate girl on the boat behind it, it must be the night moon, grab her." ”
"I like it!" Terry said with a face.
"No, I'm coming. The shadow said coldly.
The other two looked back at the shadows, and then walked down the wall with a smile.
Not far from the ancient city of Longyuan, there is an iron spear cactus jungle that covers an area of nearly one kilometer, this cactus is 8 meters high, and the whole body is covered with hard spikes about 1 meter long, the skin is very thick, although there is enough water under the skin, it is extremely bitter and difficult to swallow, unless it is about to die of thirst, no one will drink its juice.
This cactus is probably the only bit of green in the Desert of Despair, but this also proves in disguise that there is indeed a dark river underneath the ancient city of Longyuan.
As expected, the Fengshan Dragon really went for the cactus, and the spikes that were as hard as iron were not even toothpicks for the Fengshan Dragon, and with just one bite, the huge cactus up to 8 meters high was directly swallowed.
The two dragon boats landed on the shore respectively, and the two stone statues standing at the gate of the city were quite strong, otherwise they could not even find the things that tied the boat, although it was not the ocean here, it was better than the ocean, and the dragon boat would "float" away with the sand regardless of it.
"Lord Nightblade, you didn't forget to bring the flares, did you?" asked Arlo as he walked over with "concern".
"Oh, I'm with me, thanks for the reminder. Nightblade smiled and shook the flare in his hand.
"Hmph, hopefully not a dud. He snorted lightly and led a group of his men into the ancient city, and did not forget to wave his hand to Xiao Yue as he left.
"This place...... I don't know why it feels weird, I can't put it into words. Nightfire suddenly felt a trance, but he quickly recovered, muttering quietly in his mouth.
"Okay, we're going to hurry, while the Fengshan Dragon is eating, we should quickly reach the highest point of the ancient city and launch a signal flare, the sooner we gather everyone, the better. Nightblade looked around, picked out a bell tower, and led the group over.
After thousands of years of baptism, most of the city of Longyuan Ancient City has been submerged in the sea of sand, and you can see buildings that are half buried in the sand or even only have one roof left, stepping on the soft sand is quite laborious, and it only takes a short time for Xiaoyue to be out of touch with everyone.
"Satsuki, you have to keep up with us, see that I have always been at the forefront. Nightfire howls while twisting her ass coquettishly at the front.
"It's noisy! It's like a big animal like you!" Night Feather rushed up without hesitation and knocked him down.
"Ah...... I can't do it anymore, I feel like I've finished all the road I've had to go for a year today. Satsuki insisted on walking a few more steps, and finally couldn't help it, and ran to a half-buried pavilion and sat down.
"Forget it, then you can stay here, and we'll be back in a moment. "Nightblade is not reluctant, he handed over a bag of water to Satsuki and took people away, and the bell tower is not far from here.
"Well, I'm not going to run around. Xiao Yue waved her hand and picked up the water bag and drank a few sips, then she looked left and right, and when she saw that there was no one around, she took off her little leather boots and gently kneaded her little feet, she was not used to the long journey just after coming out of the training center.
However, at this moment, a figure silently appeared under a pillar not far from her, his head wrapped in a thick black robe, leaving only a pair of eyes leaking out, and there was no other emotional color in those eyes except indifference.
"Well, it should be fine here. ”
Everyone stood at the top of the bell tower and looked around, the night wind tied the signal flare to an arrow, lit the fuse and pulled the bow into the sky, the signal flare flew nearly 20 meters with the help of the bow and arrow and its own power before exploding, falling like a meteor.
"Yes, it's high enough, it should be ...... in a while"
"Ah!!h
A scream suddenly rang out!
"Satsuki!"
Everyone turned around and ran away with a shout! That scream was definitely not faked! There must have been an accident!
Xiao Yue's location was not very far from everyone, and it only took more than ten seconds for everyone to run back, but under that pavilion, there was still Xiao Yue's shadow, and an overturned water bag was still bubbling out.
Nightblade stopped the anxious crowd and stepped forward silently alone, a boot lying on the sand in front of him, a boot embroidered with the Xialan logo!
