Chapter 300: Chapter 249, Gold and Silver Island_1
Three wide-winged flying dragons, with men clad in leather armor on their backs, holding the reins like knights.
If not for their pirate attire, they could almost pass for the legendary dragon knights.
The three flying dragons rapidly advanced.
Their wings flapped, swatting down a rain of incoming arrows.
Dodging the remaining arrows, they continued their swift flight.
“Anti-air Crossbows, fire!”
Bang bang bang~!
Anti-air crossbows, with their bowstrings emitting ear-shattering sounds, shot thick crossbow arrows into the sky.
The flying dragons swerved higher to avoid the incoming arrows.
They rapidly approached the top of the ship.
The pirates riding the dragons, standing on their backs, pulled out round hand grenades and threw them onto the deck.
“Scatter, everybody move,” the dwarf captain quickly ran out, shouting loudly, waving his hands to signal the crew to disperse.
Bang bang bang~!
Three hand grenades fell onto the deck.
The next second-
Whoosh~!
The grenades exploded with sudden ferocity, creating a two-to-three-meter diameter whirlwind of flame, sweeping across the deck.
The crew members who couldn’t escape in time were swallowed by the flames; several crossbows were also consumed by the fire.
“It’s the ‘Wind Fire Thunder’, continue the counterattack, you guys go put out the fire,” the dwarf continued to shout.
Thud thud thud~!
The crew members sprang into action quickly.
They wielded their crossbows, avoiding the area affected by the fire tornado and aimed at the flying dragons circling in the sky.
The flying dragons were massive, with wide wing spans, yet they were remarkably agile in flight.
After reaching a certain height, the arrows loses their power.
They didn’t cause any significant harm.
“Captain, there is a pirate ship approaching from behind,” a crew member shouted out loud.
Looking over his shoulder,
he saw three small pirate ships fully loaded with pirates rapidly closing in.
Their boats were fast.
Quickly approaching their location.
“Drop the barrels of explosives,” the dwarf continued yelling, cursing under his breath, “Damn it, why are there pirates here? How dare they come here.”
Obviously, today is not like any other day.
Pirates had appeared on a normal route, and the fact they had flying dragons meant these were not ordinary pirate bands.
A sailor rushed over, carrying heavy wooden barrels from the cabin.
He directly dropped them down the stern.
In the midst of the plunking sounds of the barrels hitting the water, all the barrels floated on the surface.
Blocking the route of the pursuing pirate ship.
Seeing this, the dragon in the sky.
Began to circle in the direction of the ship’s stern.
A crew member just lifted the barrel onto the railings.
Just when a ‘Wind Fire Thunder’ grenade fell from above.
A fire tornado enveloped both the crewman and the barrel.
Boom~!
The barrel exploded with a deafening noise, the railings shattered, a large hole was blown in the deck, and splinters flew everywhere, piercing the surrounding sailors.
A group of them collapsed, screaming in agony.
The dwarf captain hopped in frustration, hitting his leg, and cried out, “Throw the barrels of explosives overboard, don’t leave them on deck, throw them quickly.”
“My ship, oh, my ship~!”
But the crew around him remained on the ground, unable to get up.
Watching the scene, Wu Heng’s face also turned somewhat serious.
If all these explosive barrels were to explode, the ship might even sink.
“Skull Crusher, Blood Axe, throw the barrels overboard, Mini, Wei’er, return to the cabin,” Wu Heng commanded.
Bang bang bang~!
Pulling out a rifle, he aimed at the diving dragon and fired into the sky.
Thud thud thud~!
The flying dragon wore leather armor, but the bullets didn’t penetrate its body.
Nevertheless, the great force caused it pain and it veered away slightly to increase the distance.
Two skeletons ran quickly towards the stern of the ship.
They easily threw all the remaining barrels on the deck into the sea.
The dragon circled once in the sky and began to approach the deck again.
Wu Heng gazed at the chaotic deck around him and the flying dragon, which seemed almost invincible.
After pondering briefly, he said, “Glenda, see if you can take down the flying dragon?”
…
The flying dragon dived from the sky, the pirate on its back shouting with a furious excitement, lifting the ‘Wind Fire Thunder’ in his hand.
Just as he was about to throw it down-
Suddenly, the shouting expression on his face stuck, and his eyes filled with horror.
The next second, his arm holding the ‘Wind Fire Thunder’ uncontrollably pressed it against the dragon’s head.
The dragon looked back, its eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.
Whoosh~!
A fiery tornado appeared in mid-air, swallowing both the dragon and the pirate.
Under the stupefied gaze of both the sailors and pirates, the pirate was incinerated to ashes, and the dragon’s body, engulfed in flames, plunged directly from the sky into the sea.
In an instant…
The entire region seemed to fall silent.
The two remaining flying dragons distanced themselves far away, the crew members on deck, still holding their crossbows, ceased their activities, staring dumbfounded at the spot where the dragon fell into the water.
Splish splish splish~!
More barrels were tossed into the sea.
Underneath the waves, the barrels spread across a larger area.
The chasing ships veered off in opposite directions, avoiding the barrels scattered on the sea surface.
The dwarf, issuing orders to increase the ship’s speed, grabbed this opportunity to move away from where the pirates were located.
They quickly drew a considerable distance. The remaining two dragons clearly showed apprehension about what had just happened.
Not daring to continue their pursuit, they hovered a bit before flying in the direction of the pirate ship.
The pirate ship also gave up their chase, turned around, and left, waiting for the next prey.
…
“Thank you, sir, if not for your help, we would not have been able to get away,” the dwarf wiped the sweat from his forehead and came over to speak.
Although he didn’t know how Wu Heng had killed the dragon.
But he was sure it was his doing.
After all, before Wu Heng made a move, they were utterly helpless against the flying dragons, let alone killing them.
“If I’m on your ship, it’s natural for me to lend a hand.”
The dwarf bowed again, “Sir, I apologize again for my rudeness when you boarded.”
