Do you believe me when I say I’m not a dragon?

"Get away! Where is the water? Wash away these strong acids quickly——"

A man held the railing on the side and shouted to the side in panic.

Mercer's eyes narrowed slightly, and he swooped down towards the spaceship. However, the cannonballs and crossbow arrows from the other two spaceships came one after another, exploding scars on Mercer's body, and blood flowed out uncontrollably.

Feeling the pain everywhere in his body, Mercer licked his tongue fiercely and ignored the two spaceships, but continued to fly towards his goal.

There are only two weapons on these spaceships, cannonballs and crossbows. Except that the explosion of the cannonballs will lift Mercer's scales, there is no need to be careful about the crossbows.

With his wings fluttering, Mercer swooped down regardless of the wounds on his body. When he flew to the spaceship, he suddenly turned sharply and came to the blind spot of the other two spaceships.

"Damn...what a cunning guy!"

The crew members of the two spaceships were extremely troubled by this, but they still had no choice but to do anything.

During this battle, a strong sense of frustration always lingered in their hearts - after all, they were all hunters, and they most often used the weapons in their hands, not this extremely expensive spaceship weapon.

Every damage to the ship, every cannonball and crossbow fired made their hearts bleed.

However, this kind of loss only caused them to launch an even more intense offensive.

After all, for them, as long as they can defeat the black dragon in front of them, all the losses in this battle can be compensated.

——The sharp claws pierced the hull of the ship, and Mercer slowly used his arms to tear off the wooden planks in front of him.

When the inner space was exposed, Mercer opened his mouth and spit blazing flames into it, igniting the internal structure—including the fuel of the hot air balloon and the stored cannonballs.

Mercer then spread his wings and broke away from the spacecraft, letting the spacecraft catch fire and fall to the ground.

"Attack! Don't stop attacking!"

People's voices came to his ears. He had heard a lot of similar words, and he probably understood the content. I'm afraid it was an offensive voice with a commanding tone.

He squeezed his throat and squeezed some kind of mucus out of his mouth.

Considering the strength of Mercer's stomach acid, even he himself would have difficulty guaranteeing that his stomach would be corroded if it existed for a long time. However, the mucus on the stomach wall could effectively protect Mercer's body from being digested by stomach acid.

Likewise, if you mix this mucus with stomach acid, the acid takes effect with a slight delay.

——And on this basis, if breath liquid is added...

"Roar--"

The black dragon spread its wings and spit out a fireball in the air, and when it hit a spaceship, it exploded!

boom!

The violent explosion directly shattered the wood on the spacecraft, and a large amount of thick smoke emerged from the spacecraft. The cannonballs, crossbows, and even people on the spacecraft were affected by the shock wave and fell from the spacecraft.

His flying body brushed against the hot-air balloon of the spaceship. The thorns on his wings made a huge opening in the hot-air balloon, and the spacecraft began to fall instantly.

"Ahhh-"

The expressions of the people on this spacecraft were instantly taken over by despair. They screamed heart-breakingly, but they could never escape the end of their fate.

——Now, there is only the last spaceship left at this moment.

Facing the black dragon's vertical pupils, everyone showed a look of fear, and pointed their weapons at the black dragon with trembling hands, but the next moment...

"Roar--"

The roar that stung the eardrums spread across the sky. As his size grew, the power of [the roar] became more terrifying.

Everyone's movements froze, and they covered their ears with a suppressed expression. However, taking this opportunity, the muscles in Mercer's throat contracted, and the dragon's breath spurted out without reservation.

The huge fan-shaped flames engulfed the spacecraft, and the flames burned violently, destroying and annihilating everything.

Eventually, the ship met the fate of the rest.

Chapter 100: “You have to pay more!”

......

"What's going on! Why can't these hunters kill even one black dragon!"

On the floating island, Kiryu gritted his teeth as he looked at the report in front of him.

"In the past month and a half, since the first spacecraft encountered the Black Dragon, seven spacecrafts have fallen into its hands... According to reports, the last time it even faced three spaceships with abundant firepower at the same time, In the end, the battle was still a great victory, and although there were injuries everywhere, it was not greatly affected in terms of action.”

Facing the reports from his subordinates, Kiryu clenched his fists unconsciously.

"...So, what happened to those forging people?"

"They... are still staying where they are. It is said that none of the current seven spaceships has approached the volcano, and they were all shot down midway..." said the subordinate. He looked at him cautiously.

"—Tsk!"

Immediately, the subordinate heard a very disdainful voice with obvious disgust.

Kiryu lowered his head and rubbed his forehead, veins swelled from it, and his clenched fists began to tremble slightly.

calm down......

Kiryu warned himself.The losses of the hunters had nothing to do with him, he could afford it.

...But in this case, after hearing the Black Dragon's record, they may not be so willing to conquer it, and must use other methods...

He gritted his teeth and thought for a while, then asked:

"Which hunting group is willing to conquer the black dragon now?"

"Well...many hunting groups chose to abandon this mission after hearing the news..." the subordinate said, but before he finished speaking, he saw Kiryu showing anger and quickly changed his words. Said: "——But before that, several hunting groups united to prepare to attack the black dragon, but there is no news yet."

"Which hunting groups are they specifically?"

The subordinate thought for a while and replied: "It seems to be the White Star Hunting Group, the Cangyun Hunting Group, the Blade Hunting Group, etc... and the Tianxuan Hunting Group that united them in the first place."

"Tianxuan Hunting Group..." Kiryu thought about it. He remembered that in this hunting group, everyone was an elite among the elites. The hunters in it were not only good at all kinds of weapons, but could also hunt effectively on the spaceship. ——This is very experienced for them.

Not only that, I heard that their spaceship has also been specially modified.

"Where are they now?" After thinking for a while, he asked.

"It's in this floating island No. [-]."

"Oh..." Kiryu paused and stood up, "Take me to see him."

"Eh? Yes."

......

"Captain, someone is looking for you."

On the spaceship, a crew member shouted to the man lying on the deck chair.

"Who is it?" The man turned around, put up his sunglasses, and looked at Kiryu with frivolous eyes.

"The publisher of the Black Dragon Mission, Kiryu, I have something to discuss with you." Kiryu said, staring at the man.

At the same time, his peripheral vision also swept across the surroundings. This huge and sturdy spacecraft - it was as if it was installed haphazardly by people who did not understand technology.

The stern of the ship is equipped with three propellers, and the huge spikes on the bow are shaped like spirals, which is visually aggressive.

What's even more dangerous is that the artillery has also been modified and can fire six shells at the same time... He simply doesn't know if these people are still alive.

"Kiryu? Oh - it's you." The man raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Nice to meet you, just call me 'Victory'."

The man who claimed to be victorious said this without any respect in his eyes.

Frowning slightly, Kiryu said: "I heard that you are having some trouble with the mission of conquering the black dragon, so I am here to help you."

"Provide help?" Shengli laughed scornfully and lay comfortably on the recliner: "Sorry, we no longer accept this job."

Looking at Kiryu's frown, he said calmly: "I'm afraid Mr. Kiryu doesn't know, right? According to the rumors from the Hunter Guild, they have joined forces with the Institute of Ecology to start a new round of discussions on the black dragon. Not long after, I'm afraid this mission will be cancelled. As for why, I guess it's because the Black Dragon has shown unexpected strength, making them feel that this mission is not worth the gain. After all, we hunters are also very scarce resources, let alone hunters with spaceships. ”

Looking at Kiryu, who was frowning more and more, Victory's tone was still frivolous: "By the way, let me tell you another news - my experience. In terms of the current situation, even if everyone wants the black dragon to die so much, It will take ten years to restart his mission commission, which also includes several years of equipment preparation and other work. If you are not in a hurry, just wait."

"......ten years."

Kiryu gritted his teeth and squeezed out this word. How could he wait so long? In order to reach a higher status and not lose to that Sean, he must speed up the progress.

"...No matter what, the news about the Hunter Guild still hasn't been released, right?"

After a long silence, he spoke.

"Ok?"

Victory frowned slightly and met Kiryu's eyes.

"Cannonballs, crossbows, gunpowder, as long as you are willing to accept this mission, you can have as many of these as you want. Likewise, I will also give you a spaceship to help."

"A spaceship?"

Even Victory was a little stunned. He looked at Kiryu with interest and said, "I wonder how this black dragon could offend such a big shot like you and be so willing to do so?"

"You don't need to know this." Kiryu said calmly. Hearing these words, Shengli burst out laughing:

"Mr. Kiryu, the look in your eyes just now was quite interesting, as if you were trying your best to catch something..."

"Are you willing to accept it or not?" Kiryu's eyes darkened as he looked at his nonsensical words.

Shengli stood up, crossed his arms, revealing his tall and strong figure, and came to Kiryu:

"Do you know why I named myself Victory?"

"Does this have anything to do with the mission?"

Hearing these words, Sheng Sheng grinned: "Because only victory can you get everything you want - in the battle between hunters and beasts, only victory can survive. The same for you, right? For your own purposes, you seem to want to be beautiful And the perfect victory continues. So everyone is the same. They will do whatever it takes to win, and they will keep moving forward for their own greed, regardless of whether the front is victory or failure - so, I gave myself this name. Come and encourage yourself, and always remind yourself that there are only victories and failures on the road to greed.”

"...So, what do you want to say?" Kiryu raised his head and stared at the other person coldly.

Shengli took off his glasses and revealed his greedy eyes, which were straightforward and unrestrained: "——More money is needed!"

Chapter 1: Gaps in the Rules

——After a long while, Kiryu left the port. Although his face was angry, there was also a trace of peace in his eyes.

On the same spot, Shengli crossed his arms and looked at their leaving figures, showing a wild smile.

"Captain, do we really want to cooperate with him?"

The man on the side frowned and asked.

"If we win, our family will be rich. If we lose, we will have no bones left. It's that simple."

Shengli turned around, waved his hand and said: "Go and summon the leaders of each hunting group, I want to discuss it with you."

"What if they don't want to participate, leader?"

Hearing this, the man asked.

Shengli bared two rows of teeth and said, "Based on my understanding of their character, I'm not afraid that they won't come, but I'm afraid that they don't have enough money."

Facing the confident look in Victory's eyes, the man understood that his captain must have squeezed a lot of benefits from the man named Kiryu. When he heard the plan, he also smiled:

"Good Le!"

......

Three days later, five spaceships set off from the floating island in a mighty manner. At the same time, the senior leaders of the Hunter Guild were still discussing the black dragon, and no formal announcement had yet been made.

The five spaceships formed a formation and were very close to each other, so that even if the black dragon appeared below them, they could react quickly and notify each other.

Among them, the Tianxuan Hunting Group was at the top of the list, and Shengli stood on the bow of the ship with his arms folded, staring into the distance.

"How long until we arrive?"

Looking back, Shengli asked the helmsman.

"It won't take long. It will take about a week to enter the desert area, and then we will reach the volcano in a few days."

The helmsman pondered for a while and then replied: "Of course, the premise is that the black dragon will not harass us in advance."

"——I'm not talking about our speed." Who knows, Shengli just glanced at him lightly and said.

"what?"

"Floating Island No. [-], at the speed of this thing, how long does it take to reach the volcano?"

"this......"

The helmsman frowned, thought for a while, and then replied:

"I'm afraid it will take about half a month, but it depends on the wind direction."
