I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Sitting in the passenger seat, Exusiai looked at the shattered dragon lying on the ground after being blown up by the explosive arrow and smiled, saying this. Texas, driving the SUV, said somewhat helplessly:

"Alright, Exusiai, prepare to attack."

"Understood~"

Exusiai quickly grabbed her weapon to prepare for an attack, while Texas drove her SUV toward the planned route.

"Roar--!!"

Soon, the shattered dragon, which had been blown to the ground, stood up again and charged towards Yuhaka and the others' off-road vehicle with a roar.

After loading a new explosive arrow into the crossbow, Yuhaka, who was behind the off-road vehicle, aimed at the Brachydios chasing behind them and pulled the trigger.

With a whooshing sound, the second explosive arrow struck the Brachydios's head directly, causing it to roar in anger. It seems that Yhaka's attack has successfully enraged the Brachydios.

However, while enraging the Shattered Dragon, the Originium Crystal Armor on its body was also destroyed by the attack.

After the Originium Crystal Armor was destroyed, Exusiai raised her gun from the co-pilot's seat and fired a barrage of shots at the dragon's head. Of course, such an attack was still somewhat weak.

Furthermore, the Dragon Slayer will raise its forelimbs to block the attacks from Exusiai and Ehaka.

Seeing the Dragon's actions immediately deflated Exusiai, who said:

"Ah... I still can't break through. It's a pity I don't have a 'bigger' weapon."

However, compared to Exusiai, Ehaka's weapon is quite effective against Brachydios.

After loading his armor-piercing crossbow bolt, capable of penetrating thick armor, into the slot, Yuhaka aimed a powerful arrow at the Brachydios's undefended thigh.

The sharp, armor-piercing arrow struck the weak point of the Brachydios's leg joint, nearly knocking it to the ground. However, this also made the Brachydios realize that someone in its vehicle could penetrate its armor.

So the dragon turned and disappeared into a building, no longer chasing after Yuhaka and the others.

Texas saw the dragon disappear into a building from the off-road vehicle and immediately had Exusiai report the incident to Amiya and the others.

"I understand. Let's retreat first, Miss Texas."

【Received, we'll be leaving now. Call ended】

After receiving Texas and her team's report of withdrawal, Amiya sighed. According to Texas's report, the shattered dragon had gone into the building to avoid being attacked.

Amiya then spoke to Kal'tsit on Rhodes Island, who was some distance away, via communicator:

"Dr. Kal'tsit, the target has taken refuge inside the building. It seems that the wrathful dragon isn't very aggressive; on the contrary, it seems quite calm and intelligent."

Upon hearing Amiya's report, Kal'tsit gave her own response:

[Hmm, it seems that the migratory species has calmed that Shattered Dragon down a bit, which should allow it to calmly consider its next move.]

Kal'tsit then said to Amiya:

[Let's have the drones do some reconnaissance first, Amiya. Confined spaces aren't ideal for Rhodes Island operators fighting against the migratory Brachydios; it's too dangerous.]

Amiya nodded and said:

"I understand, Dr. Kal'tsit. I will send out reconnaissance drones for reconnaissance."

After saying that, Amiya turned to the Rhodes Island operator in command post who was operating the drones:

"Drones were sent into the building to conduct reconnaissance missions."

Upon hearing Amiya's words, the Rhodes Island operators also operated drones to search the building, and soon they discovered a large hole inside the building.

"Oh...this is not good..."

Amiya looked at the hole below the building and her expression turned grim. It seemed that the broken dragon had gone into the cave and was heading towards the lower city area, which was not good.

Amiya originally thought there was nowhere nearby where the Shattered Dragon could descend to the lower city, but to her surprise, there was a large hole or something under this building.

"It seems we need to reconsider our operational plan after recalling all the combat operators who are currently engaged in combat outside."

Chapter 164 [The Battle to Slay the Shattered Dragon (Part 2)]

After Amiya and her team finalized their battle plan, each of Texas's squads received a map of the lower town of Lawrence.

Texas frowned as she looked at the map in her hand. Although the lower-level roads in the abandoned town of Lawrence were relatively wide and not too narrow, these places were not suitable for fighting a monster with explosive punches. It would also make it difficult for Texas and her companions to take a detour and surround the Shattered Dragon.

Amiya's subsequent combat report instructed her operators to try to force the Brachydios out or to lure it to a more spacious area in the lower city for combat.

Amiya also told them the detailed battle plan. In addition to some gas grenades used to eliminate targets, they also carried Originium blocking agents.

After all, the lower level is located where the Originium furnace provides energy to the mobile city. Without protective clothing, it's best not to go near the Originium power furnace.

Furthermore, the Broken Dragon also carries Originium crystals, which puts operators at a disadvantage in close combat. They could easily contract Oripathy if they're not careful, and those infected might experience a worsening of their Oripathy condition.

Texas looked at Warfarin beside her and said:

"By the way, Dr. Warfarin, aren't you a medical operator?"

In response to Texas's question, Warfarin, with a smug expression, put her hands on her hips and said to Texas and the others:

"Don't underestimate me! Although I'm called a medic operator, my offensive Originium Arts skills are quite formidable!"

After hearing Warfarin's words, Texas looked at Warfarin for a while, then sighed and said:

"Alright, when we encounter the target, I'll hide behind the croissant. I'll leave the magic attacks and medical skills to you, Dr. Warfarin."

Warfarin waved her hand and said:

"Just leave it to me, uh..."

“OwO~”

Yuhaka, who was standing nearby, curiously climbed onto Warfarin and sniffed her scent, which made the originally somewhat smug Warfarin suddenly become as nervous as a white-faced owl that had made a mistake.

Texas glanced at the unusually quiet Warfarin with a puzzled expression. Texas had initially thought Warfarin would be excited to see Yhaka, but now…

It looks like a bat that has encountered a round-faced, chubby Scottish chicken.

..............................

Soon, Rhodes Island combat squads entered the lower city from various entrances.

Texas and her group used the lights they carried to survey their surroundings. They had to admit that fighting in such a pitch-black place was quite uncomfortable for them, as the lights had very limited range and brightness.

"Uh... this place is quite dark..."

Croissant, who was standing to the side holding a shield and a Magnetic Storm Hammer, looked around and said this, and Exusiai nodded and said:

"Yes, it's not good for me to attack in such a limited field of vision, and I don't have a night vision scope or anything like that."

"Really? I can see it quite clearly."

"Hmm OwO~"

Upon hearing Warfarin's words, the Penguin Logistics operators present instinctively looked in her direction. They were immediately startled to see Warfarin with her red eyes and Yuhaka with her orange eyes standing together.

Warfarin, as a Sarkaz blood demon, is a nocturnal race, while Yhwach, being a primitive Zerg, has eaten many creatures with good night vision, giving her excellent visibility at night.

And so... after Texas and her companions passed through a relatively spacious area, they discovered something emitting a green glow in a dark corner.

Texas looked at the green fluorescent object with a puzzled expression and said:

"Is this... the explosive slime from the Brachydios's body?"

Warfarin, standing nearby, nodded as she looked at the green, fluorescent slime on the ground and said:

"That's right, it's the explosive slime from the Broken Dragon's body."

Upon hearing Warfarin's words, the penguin logistics team members present quickly moved away from the exploding slime, as they had witnessed firsthand just how powerful the green slime could be when it exploded.

Warfarin, stroking her chin, analyzed the still-unexploded slime mold and said:

"The Shattered Dragon may have just left this place. Let's search the area."

Upon hearing Warfarin's words, Texas and the others expressed their understanding. Then, Warfarin seemed to remember something and took out a bottle containing some unknown liquid from her waist pouch, pouring it onto the exploding slime.

Soon, the green exploding slime mold seemed to be diluted, and within a few seconds, the green exploding slime mold on the ground disappeared.

Warfarin nodded, quite satisfied, and said:

"Hmm, it seems the powerful fungicide is working quite well~"

That's right, Warfarin just used the simple disinfectant they made. This idea was Kal'tsit's, since the Exploding Slime is also a kind of bacteria, and the disinfectant is quite effective.

Then Warfarin said to Texas and the others:

"Alright, if you accidentally get the explosive slime from the Broken Dragon on yourself, remember to spray the disinfectant you have on yourself onto the explosive slime."

Hearing Warfarin's words, Texas and the others nodded in understanding. Warfarin then looked at Exusiai standing nearby and said:

"Miss Exusiai, after Yuhaka uses the explosive arrow to break through the Originium crystal armor on the Brachydios, I would appreciate it if you could use a sticky grenade containing disinfectant to reduce the amount of explosive slime on the Brachydios."

Exusiai also made a V-sign and said:

"Leave it to me!"

For Warfarin, it would be great if she could get rid of all the explosive slime on the Broken Dragon's body.

..............................

Whoosh—Boom!

As the explosive bolt from Yuhaka struck the Brachydios, a loud explosion rang out instantly. Although the explosion was not very effective against the Brachydios, it was still affected by the momentum generated by the explosion.

"Apulupai!"

After Exusiai threw the sticky grenade on the Broken Dragon, the sticky grenade made a beeping sound and then sprayed out a large amount of disinfectant liquid with a "poof". The green slime on the Broken Dragon disappeared at a visible speed.

Upon noticing this, the Broken Dragon hurriedly licked its forelimbs, trying to revive the exploding slime mold. However, halfway through licking, a strong spicy taste suddenly spread through its mouth, causing the Broken Dragon to curse loudly:

"Holy crap! They added chili peppers!!"

Chapter 165 [That's right! You missed reading a chapter!]

"O_O?"

Yuhaka stood on the corpse of the Brachydios, holding the Endless Hammer, looking at the cold snow around him with a bewildered expression.

Just a few minutes ago they were fighting the Brachydios, but after Yuhaka hit its eye directly with the Endless Hammer, a series of explosions detonated inside the Brachydios's brain. Although the Brachydios had excellent blast resistance, it didn't have much defense inside its body.

Yuhaka jumped off the shattered dragon's corpse and stepped onto the snow. The soft touch of the snow underfoot piqued Yuhaka's interest. Yuhaka opened its small mouth and took a few bites of the snow. Instantly, a cool sensation spread through Yuhaka's mouth. However, since it had no taste, Yuhaka lost interest in the snow. After all, the snow quickly melted into water after being eaten.

After dragging the shattered dragon's corpse into her dimensional cave, Ehaka smelled the scent of some creature approaching her. Looking in that direction, Ehaka saw several white creatures with white fur approaching. One of them, much taller than the other white-fured creatures, roared in Ehaka's direction.

"Waaaaahh ...
