This long-range sniper rifle can be called the emperor of sniper rifles, but the executive department was still not satisfied with its performance and optimized the ammunition.

Mans loaded bullets, each gleaming with a cold blue light and adorned with ancient patterns on its tip, into the magazine. The primer of each bullet was painted red, a distinctive mark of high-risk weapons.

"I really like those crazy guys in the Executive Department who work on weapons optimization!" Mans slammed the magazine into the gun.

"The premise is that it won't explode randomly. The diving bell just self-destructed, so it didn't even hit anything... Wait, give me this gun."

Xia Mu took off his diving suit and reached out to grab the gun barrel.

Mans looked up: "Hmm?"

"Believe me."

Xia Mu snatched it and slipped out of the cabin.

“Eri, use your words to protect the Moniach,” he said to Erii.

Even as the Moniach zigzag wildly, Erii remained standing firmly, unaffected.

"Mumu, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xia Mu wrapped his arms around her slender waist, pressed his lips to her ear, and whispered, "Don't use your full strength, leave it to me, don't worry."

"it is good."

The girl leaned against his wet chest without the slightest disgust.

"Underwater bomb! Prepare to drop!"

The xenon headlights illuminated the foamy water behind the boat, making it sparkle brightly. The foam couldn't conceal the sharp waterline, as if an invisible knife was cutting through the surface of the water underwater.

Xia Mu leaned against the bulkhead, his feet on the railing, his whole body like a triangle ruler braced between the bulkhead and the railing, so that he could maintain his balance during the violent turbulence.

He spotted the subspecies underwater through the infrared scope; it was swimming at full speed, its body temperature far exceeding the water temperature, which completely exposed it.

"Airflow...water flow...wind..."

Xia Mu pointed his gun at the water, relying entirely on the wind to correct his aim.

The massive size was captured, target locked…

"boom!"

He fired the first shot; the dark blue bullet briefly lingered in the air, the enhanced alchemical bullet strong enough to penetrate shallow water.

hit!

The airflow clearly carried back the trajectory of the alchemical bullet, as well as the sound of it striking the dragon scales.

"boom!"

Xia Mu fired his second shot.

Hit again!

The underwater shadows churned angrily, swirling rapidly around the Moniach.

Xia Mu could sense that the dragon was not injured.

Such alchemical bullets would at most cause a little pain to the next generation of beings.

But that's enough. All he wants is perfect accuracy, and he's now certain he can do that.

"laugh."

A dark red golden light burned in my eyes, and a wisp of spiritual fire quietly emerged.

He kept firing, hitting the target accurately each time, the dark red bullets pointing in all directions.

That's a psycho-incendiary bomb!

No matter how Longshi swims, unless he actually dives into deep water, Xia Mu's bullets will always follow him.

"Roar--"

The angry roar was deafening.

Xia Mu grinned: "I know it's not a pleasant feeling to have your spirit burning out."

"Natsuki... what is he doing?" Shuto Aki asked weakly, leaning against the cabin.

“It’s probably something like a one-on-one duel between a man and a male dragon,” Mans shouted into the microphone, “Bomb release!”

The helm spun rapidly in the first mate's hands, and the Moniach splashed up nearly ten meters high, drawing a "Z" shape on the water's surface with a sharp zigzag.

At the same time, the second officer opened the underwater hatch, and ten underwater bombs were released in succession. Due to the "Z" shaped flight path, they were arranged in three rows: three in the front row, four in the middle, and three in the back row.

The miniature engines started, and the bombs hovered five to ten meters underwater. On the sonar monitor, they looked like a trap waiting for the thing.

"Beautiful!" the second mate exclaimed.

Mans pushed aside the second mate and lay down on the control panel. The bright dots on the sonar display screen and the huge, fish-shaped object were getting closer and closer.

"Extremely close, fifty meters!" the second mate shouted. "That thing is charging straight at us, without slowing down!"

"Alright! Blow him up!" Mans roared. "Xia Mu! Keep firing! Enrage it!"

Xia Mu calmly fired, and one dark red projectile after another entered the water, striking the dragon's head directly.

A dragon's roar echoed from underwater, and white mist filled the entire river surface. The dragon's head faintly rose from the water, its golden eyes gleaming fiercely, piercing through the white mist.

"boom."

Xia Mu threw down the sniper rifle. "Out of bullets."

"Will it just stop like this?"

Mans stared wide-eyed.

The other ship's cruising speed was close to that of the Moniach, also at fifty knots. The fifty-meter distance was covered in just two or three seconds, a mere instantaneous braking distance.

But who can stop a car in water at a distance of only fifty meters?

"It...it really stopped!" The second mate's face turned ashen.

They all strained their ears, waiting for the thunderous explosion, but the sonar showed that the behemoth had stopped right in front of the underwater bomb's blockade.

This doesn't resemble braking; there's no gliding. Instead, it comes to a complete stop with a "whoosh," its speed dropping to zero. Even dolphins can't achieve this level of agility.

"Detonate it directly?" The second mate looked up at Mans. "Would that be effective?"

"Whether it will work or not, you should all check the screen first..." Selma said cautiously.

Five of the original ten dots on the screen have disappeared, and the enormous creature is swimming around the remaining dots, like a small whale curiously playing with a small group of jellyfish.

The second mate was completely stunned. He looked up at another monitor screen, which showed that the signals of the five underwater bombs had disappeared.

The last point of light disappeared before the second mate could detonate the bomb.

Xia Mu looked up: "I guess... your bomb got eaten."

"ate...it?"

The second mate felt a tremendous sense of powerlessness.

Will it taste good?

He suddenly asked a nonsensical question.

Chapter 128 Slaying the Dragon?

"captain…"

Shudeya's voice trembled as he pointed to the stern of the boat.

Mans looked in the direction she was pointing, and what was chasing them was no longer a thin line of water, but a dark spine that had risen to the surface.

You can vaguely see that each of the spines is as jagged as a reef, and the long tail swings at high speed without making a splash.

A huge mouth was half-submerged in the water, with only the ferocious upper jaw visible above the surface, revealing two withered yellow hooked teeth.

“Indeed… it’s a vertebrate,” Mans said in a low voice.

“Not all reptiles are vertebrates.” Xia Mu was taken aback.

“Many theories about dragons are speculative; no one is certain that they are reptiles. Perhaps the so-called dragons are just a shadow in people's minds,” Mans explained.

"Captain! The bomb signal has been activated again!"

The second mate shouted with joy, like a grieving father who had suddenly found his missing children.

Mans paused, realizing something, and shouted, "Quick, detonate!"

"Strange, weren't they... eaten?" the second mate asked, bewildered.

“It’s not digested yet! That thing’s body can block electromagnetic waves, but now it’s floating to the surface with its mouth open! Your bombs are calling for their fathers in its stomach!” Mans pressed the detonation button.

A deafening explosion came from a kilometer behind, the sound shaking the entire Moniach.

At the moment ten underwater bombs exploded simultaneously, a pillar of fire rose straight into the water, like a sword made of flames hurled down from the clouds by a god.

A moment later, flames exploded, and sharp metal fragments mixed with explosives flew in all directions, some of them hitting the stern of the Moniah directly.

"Success!"

Selma shouted and waved her arms as she saw the dark spine twisted in the instant of the explosion.

As long as it is a living being, it has absolutely no chance of surviving.

The Moniach spun almost 90 degrees on the water and came to a difficult stop, with the overheated engines evaporating large amounts of water vapor from the hull.

People crawled out of the cabin and stood in the storm, watching the water boil instantly a kilometer away. Huge whirlpools swirled on the surface, sucking large amounts of foam into the depths.

Mans wiped the rain off his face, imagining the thick spine, not completely destroyed, slowly sinking to the bottom of the riverbed, and let out a long sigh.

"If only we could capture a live one," the Third Deputy sighed.

“A living body that’s fifteen meters long and weighs fifty tons, how do you plan to transport it back to Kassel College?” Mans asked, taking a puff of his cigar.

"Is that the Dragon King Norton?" Ye Sheng asked.

"It shouldn't be. The Dragon King's IQ wouldn't be so low as to eat a bomb."

Mans exhaled a smoke ring. "We can go over there in a bit and see if we can retrieve any fragments of the body to do some research when we get back."
