Hunting Cards! Star Dragon

"Old lady, you are here again." Rina said in surprise.

Rina did not leave. As the guild's image girl, she insisted on standing guard until the last shift before leaving, and no one could stop her.

"Xing met him, practicing with his sword in the martial arts field."

What surprised Rina was that the old lady in front of her should be the grandmother of Yunlan Village Wu Ren?

The old lady who is rumored to hate Yunxue Village the most has been running to Yunxue Village every day recently, and she also sends many gifts to Xingjian.

Not only this old woman, but in recent days, the villagers of Yunxue Village and Yunlan Village have had closer interactions.

Not only the craftsmen's union that made dragon-striking cannons, but even ordinary villagers began to communicate peacefully.

"Grandma?" Just then, Xingjian walked out of the guild's training ground, dressed in a dashing suit of armor, which made Rina's cheeks flush.

"Are you okay? You're always running back and forth between the two villages." Xingjian remembered that Wu Ren's grandmother was seriously ill in bed a few days ago.

"Hahaha, I've never been in such good shape. Li Yi was once my best friend. Now that you're protecting the village and helping Li Yi realize her dream, how can I, an old woman, be content to just lie in bed?"

Unexpectedly, Li Yi's dream has a stronger healing effect than Yuexian Xuelian.

Of course, even after she recovered and was able to move freely, Wu Ren's grandmother did not choose to flee the village.

"Grandma, as long as you are happy." Xingjian took a bite of the meat pie.

Grandma Wu Ren’s cooking skills are pretty good, especially now that most restaurants are closed and there are only ingredients but no chefs. Jiu Yue even locks herself in the knife shop every day and doesn’t cook.

Xingjian could only get free food and drinks everywhere.

As night falls, He Yin is tasked with monitoring the movements of the dragon group every night. The three [Shadow Dragon] cards allow for seamless skill cooldowns.

Although I get a lot of overtime pay, this job is really not a job for humans!

Fortunately, except for the first time, He Yin never did anything socially deadly like getting his legs wet again.

But every time she saw hundreds of dragons marching at night like a gathering of undead, the girl couldn't help but tremble with fear.

"No, as a professional ninja, you must focus on completing your mission."

After suppressing the strong urge to urinate, He Yin opened the "Hunting Guide" that Liuli gave him.

In the illustrated manual, most of the dragon images are well depicted.

He Yin's main task in reconnaissance, in addition to monitoring and reporting the location of the dragon group every night, is to determine the level of danger of the dragon group.

Simply put, it is to compare the illustrations and identify the hunting levels of the dragons among the dragons, and whether there are any dangerous targets with particularly high hunting levels.

"Let me see! Um, this is... that... and this is... huh?"

The next day.

"what?"

Gathering at the home of village chief Goro during the day were not only the hunters who were about to face the battle, but also He Yin's master, the shrine chief, who came to know the level of the dragon group that He Yin observed last night.

But after returning from the investigation, He Yin gave the answer.

"I have no idea!"

"She said she didn't know, haha." Jiu Yue pointed at He Yin and sneered helplessly, "I brought the illustrated guide with me, but how come you didn't even spot a dragon?"

"Wait, our He Yin is not such a stupid child." Gong Si stepped forward to smooth things over: "There must be a special reason."

"This atlas isn't right." He Yin shirked responsibility, "It doesn't match at all. Not a single dragon from the Night Parade of a Hundred Dragons appears in this atlas."

"Huh?" Jiu Yue asked doubtfully, "Liuli said that the illustrated book has a very complete record. The vast majority of monsters currently known to mankind are in this illustrated book."

This can be seen from the records in the Phantom Ancient Dragon and the Star Destroyer Dragon. It is not difficult to see that this illustrated book covers all the details of the monsters.

"Maybe it's not the atlas that's wrong, it's the dragon group that's wrong." Xing Jian said.

"The dragon group is wrong?"

"A hundred dragons marching at night are not a normal group of dragons."

How could a normal group of dragons gather like ghosts in the middle of the night, suddenly appearing and then disappearing?

So from the very beginning, Xingjian didn't expect He Yin's investigation to be effective.

"No wonder," Instructor Xiye said, "No wonder every time the hunting group sends intel, they don't specify the level of the dragon group. It turns out they don't know either!"

"These aren't normal dragons." Jiu Yue shuddered. "Then how can we tell if we can defeat them? This is too weird!"

"No matter whether we can win or not, it's too late to escape now." Wu Lang was very optimistic: "Hahahaha, we can only fight with all our strength."

Since he freed Li Yi from her shackles, Village Chief Goro's personality has gradually become more relaxed, as if he had returned to the way he was forty years ago.

Part of the reason is that as someone who has witnessed the power of the Dragon-Slaying Cannon with his own eyes, Goro believes that the Dragon-Slaying Cannon left by Li can definitely create miracles.

"Of course, I'm not getting paid for nothing!" He Yin opened the illustrated guide. "I circled a few dragon species. They look similar, but their characteristics don't match at all."

Savage Blaster—Hunter Level 58, approximately 20 meters long, characterized by extremely muscular legs and weak forelimbs. It has wings on its back, but they aren't used for flight, but rather to store explosive energy.

"It looks similar, but it doesn't have the energy wings that characterize the Brutalis. Its head is also slightly different. Only the overall outline is similar. It's like the Brutalis has degenerated."

"That is..." Xingjian raised his silver-white eyebrows.

"Do you know?" September asked curiously.

"No, I do not know."

Xingjian lied.

he knows.

That was a Tyrannosaurus, a creature that had long been extinct.

Its existence time is probably even longer than Xingjian's life span.

Xingjian heard about it from the ancient dragon, the Earth Dragon, who lived longer than herself.

At that time, humans had just appeared on the continent and had not yet formed civilization, and the biosphere was not what it is today.

It was just that a disaster swept the planet, causing the extinction of most of the life forms.

The only ones who survived were ancient dragons and humans.

After that, new species appeared on the new earth.

That disaster was like a harbinger of planetary evolution, allowing extinct creatures to be reborn in a completely new form.

These are the monsters recorded in human history today.

"Prehistoric creatures have reappeared in the form of undead beings. They migrate in groups only at night and attack human villages."

Xing Jian, who was silently sorting out this information, felt more and more that the secret hidden behind the Night Parade of a Hundred Dragons was far more terrifying than a simple natural disaster.

Perhaps what we see on the surface is just the tip of the iceberg of its huge malicious intent.

Xingjian's bad premonition came again.

And this time, it came true very quickly.

When He Yin, who had been monitoring the movements of the dragons, returned to the village on the third night, everyone noticed the panic in the girl's expression.

"The dragons, the dragons are moving faster!"

The dragons accelerated without any warning. According to the new speed, the dragons would arrive at the village on the fifth night, which is tomorrow night.

The six-day plan was late.

Even if the craftsmen from Yunxue Village and Yunlan Village worked day and night to repair and manufacture the complete Dragon-Slaying Cannon, it would take at least five days. The front and rear barrels would not be assembled and tested until the sixth day.

If a group of dragons approach the two villages tomorrow night, there will be no time to test or even assemble the dragon-striking cannon.

"I made a mistake in judgment." Xingjian felt a little guilty.

After all, he was the one who first suggested that the dragons would arrive on the sixth night.

"No, who would have thought that the dragons would not play by the rules."

Instructor Xiye, carrying a rifle and holding a cigarette, seemed very calm.

"If the enemy comes, we will fight them with our generals; if the water comes, we will block it with earth. If the dragon-striking cannon can solve everything, what is the need for us hunters?"

"Master, what do you mean?" Wu Ren asked a little guiltily.

"You're such a coward! How shameful of you! Act like a man, Takehito! We'll hold off the dragons all night long!"

[There are still 36 hours until the dragons arrive.]

Chapter 68: 0 hours until the dragons arrive [2 in 1]

[There are still 36 hours until the dragons arrive.]

Due to the accelerated advancement of the dragon group, the progress of the dragon-killing cannon must be accelerated.

The craftsmen from the two villages were working desperately to catch up with the work, almost exhausting all their energy.

Even so, the earliest time to assemble the dragon-striking cannon would be tomorrow night. By then, the dragons would most likely have already begun attacking the village.

Even if we start assembling as soon as we know the dragons are coming, if we still can't catch up, it seems that the result is doomed.

Compared to Xingjian's self-blame for his misjudgment of time, the village chiefs on both sides felt more complicated.

Goro: "Rie left us forty years, and we only used the last five days."

Haruhiko: "We really are so stupid that it's laughable."

If I die like this, I will definitely be ridiculed by Li Yi in the other world.

Now that we have decided to fight, we must risk our lives without hesitation.

The task of the stationed hunters is to hold back the dragons, even if it means dying under their claws, until the dragon-killing cannon is assembled.

"Hahaha, we are both hunters too!"

Returning to the battle after forty years, the two oldest hunters in the village decided to bet their lives on this one night, just to make up for the forty years of delay in construction.

[There are still 20 hours until the dragons arrive.]

On the fourth night, He Yin was still diligently monitoring the movements of the dragon group.

He Yin didn't dare to touch any fish. He Yin felt that he had never worked more classes in his life than he had this week.

Fortunately, the dragon group did not accelerate further tonight. Although it was very close to the village, after sunrise, the dragon group should disappear about fifty miles away from the village.

At the same time, at night in the "October Sword Workshop", September's screams were heard.

“Ah! F-Failure!”

There are two swords placed in front of Jiu Yue. One is an ice sword made of ice claw dark dragon material, and the whole body is azure blue.

The other one was the Stardust Blade, which was made using the last materials of the Star Destroyer Dragon that Liuli had entrusted to him.

When forging the ice sword, Jiu Yue was very familiar with it and did it effortlessly, completing it with almost no difficulty.

When forging the Stardust Katana, Jiu Yue focused almost 120%. With every polish and every swing of the hammer, he was highly focused, striving for perfection.

However, perhaps it is precisely this overly tense state that prevents September from maintaining its normal craftsmanship.

Simply put, being too nervous during the exam results in not performing as well as expected.

Even Jiuyue felt that there was no mistake in every step of forging.

But in the end, just when the last hammer was struck to complete the work, an accident happened.

The beautiful blade that was almost perfect in the previous second, gleaming with starlight in the scorching heat, suddenly scattered and disappeared like a shooting star in the next second.

It is a disappearance in the true sense.

The blade is missing!

Now, only the hilt and the blade of the Stardust Sword in front of Jiu Yue remain.

Even in September, I have never encountered such a strange situation in all my years of forging swords.

This can only be attributed to the special nature of the Star Destroyer Dragon material.

But no matter what, it is undoubtedly a failure.

A katana without a blade is not even a "sword" at all, it just has the "Ta".
