Chapter 13: Black Dragon (Fourth Update, Rushing for Rankings and Votes!)

  (Today's fourth update, rushed to the top of the charts! Today, over 12,000 explosive updates were made. Thank you for your support!)

  The mercenary group "Wild Wolf" lost 37 men in this battle, with more than 20 wounded. Although the blow was not fatal to the Wild Wolf Mercenaries, it was not small either.

  Other big and small mercenary groups and adventure teams, they came to the Wolf Mercenary Group base at the first time upon the invitation of Harrysa, the leader of the Wolf Mercenary Group. Each of them had their own ideas in mind.

  Follow them into the desert to avenge the big guys? Are you kidding me? What for?

  The Ge Rui Weng giants are all over three meters tall, with incredible strength and skin as hard as rocks. A mid-level warrior can barely handle one of them, let alone the people from Feng Huo Town who would be lucky to survive a battle against them.

  In this battle, the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps lost a small half of its combat power. The others rushed over, thinking only that their mercenary corps would be able to rise in status in Fenghuo Town in the future and gain greater benefits.

  As expected, Harry's proposal that all the mercenary groups in Firewind Town form an alliance to go into the desert and take revenge on those big guys was met with ridicule.

  "Harris, you're not kidding, are you?"

  "I admit those brutal big guys have gone too far, I spiritually support you, Colonel Harry, in taking revenge, but our mercenary group has recently taken on a small task and can't spare the time."

  "Our mercenary group is no exception, although it's a small task, we must have professional ethics and consider the employer."

  "Harris, admit it, even a grown-up has the strength of an advanced warrior or more, let alone those who stand out."

  ……

  Some laughed, some advised, but no one agreed with Haris's proposal.

  Harry sat silently, his face as gloomy as the night outside.

  "If it were just a gold mine, do you think I'd let so many brothers go to their deaths?" Harry said in a low voice, his eyes flashing as he swept the crowd with a glance.

  "In the dwelling place of the giant Groteus, there is a black dragon, and one that has been severely injured and is about to lay eggs."

  Harry's words exploded like a fireball cast by a high-level magician, stunning everyone, and then they reacted and suddenly became noisy.

  "Black Dragon? Are you sure it's not a third-tier demonic beast, Black Wind Python Snake? Did I see it wrong?"

  "Is this news true?"

  "It's impossible, how could the black dragon be with those ugly and dirty big guys?"

  "If it's really an injured and soon-to-lay-eggs black dragon, we'll be rich."

  ……

  Everyone was arguing fiercely, their faces flushed red, and the scene suddenly became fiery and lively.

  "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, Nak confirmed that he wasn't mistaken." Haris said in a low voice: "They were originally going to look for gold mines, but when they approached the mountain range where the Gruyron giants lived, they suddenly heard strange roars. When they went to check, they found out that a black dragon had occupied the giant's nest and demanded that they offer it food. At that time, the giant didn't discover Nak and his team, but the black dragon did. Nak and his team hastily retreated, but were still heavily injured by the giants. After returning to tell me this news, Nak, who was severely wounded, died."

  As he spoke, Harris's gaze swept across the crowd like lightning and said: "You all know Nak's character, his words are truer than gold. Moreover, I asked other people who came back, they all saw that injured black dragon with their own eyes."

  The hall was in complete silence.

  "Harry, you organize this." The leader of the Firedrake Mercenary Band, Barnil, who was slightly inferior to the Wild Wolf Mercenary Band in terms of strength, broke the silence and said: "You are a great war master and also the strongest among us here. If that black dragon is really injured and about to lay eggs, it's not impossible for us to slay the dragon."

  When they heard the word "Dragon Slaying", everyone got even more excited. A sacred magical beast, the Black Dragon, was a treasure trove in itself, not to mention the possibility of obtaining a dragon egg.

  "Those in favor of Barnie's proposal, raise your hands." Harry Sae looked around and saw thirty-four people, all with their hands raised high.

  "That's good." Harry said, "This news will probably spread quickly in Fenghuo Town, after all, many people saw it at that time. Time is of the essence, everyone go back and make arrangements, be sure to bring the strongest elite from each team, if we succeed in killing the dragon, we'll distribute the rewards according to merit."

  They discussed the timing and details of the action for a while, and because of this, the brave warriors who were about to go into battle with hot blood boiling over continued discussing until deep in the night before dispersing.

  By the time Li Junshan received the news, it was already broad daylight. The secret that should have been kept confidential for less than half a day had spread throughout Fenghuo Town.

  No choice, the people in Fenghuo Town are too complicated, and the relationship between various mercenary groups is complex. Even Harisa and other mercenary leaders know this in their hearts. On the second day at noon, under the instigation and leadership of Harisa and more than a dozen mercenary leaders, a dragon-slaying team composed of seven large and small mercenary groups, twelve adventure teams, and some permanent residents of Fenghuo Town set off towards the northern desert with more than 300 people.

  "Xiao Shan, you're not allowed to go this time." Anna saw Li Junshan's eager face and advised: "That's the Black Dragon, if it weren't for being possessed by a vengeful spirit, who would go to their death?"

  "Do you think they have no chance of success?" Li Junshan stopped in his tracks.

  "It's not impossible." Fati said on the side, "If it's like they said, this black dragon is seriously injured and about to lay eggs, maybe they can really slay the dragon. Think about it, if a ninth-level black dragon can be injured, then at least it must be a sacred-level demon beast or a sacred-level strong person, in which case the black dragon's injuries will not be light."

  "A skinny camel is bigger than a fat horse." Anna said angrily: "You don't understand anything, as long as it hasn't closed its eyes, it's the Black Dragon. Even if it just sneezes, it will shake the earth."

  Fatima wisely shut her mouth; she didn't dare provoke Anna.

  Li Junshan was anxious on one side, that was a dragon, the most deadly thing was that it was about to lay eggs soon, he knew he absolutely had no way to summon that black dragon, but if it laid dragon eggs, it wasn't impossible for an alien creature to attach itself.

  Having a black dragon as a host, what kind of power would that be!

  Li Junshan's blood rushed to his head as he thought about it, and just as he was about to speak, two people came running over.

  "Aunt Anna." Sally ran ahead, her body faintly glowing with a blue aura, and rushed in with an anxious face, saying: "What to do, what to do?"

  "What's wrong?" Anna hurried over to greet her, and at this time Sally followed behind Xilu, panting.

  "My father and Siru's father followed them into the desert." Sally said anxiously, almost in tears: "Siru and I couldn't persuade them, Aunt Anna, what can we do?"

  "Two old rascals." Anna was furious, and hastily chased after them towards the north of the town. Li Junshan and others exchanged a glance, and also followed suit.

  The usually bustling Fenghuo Town was quiet at this time, except for a large group of beggars leaning against the wall corner lazily sunbathing, almost no other figures could be seen. When Anna and Li Junshan arrived at Beidajie, they couldn't see the Tulong Squad anymore, the north desert was shrouded in a massive sandstorm, nothing could be seen.

  "What can we do?" Sally cried: "That's a black dragon, and so many big ones."

  Li Junshan patted her shoulder lightly to comfort her, and an idea struck him.

  "Little hill." Anna frowned and said: "Can you catch up with them?"

  Li Junshan smiled slightly, looked around and saw no one, his mind moved, a strange creature appeared in front of everyone.

  "Hmm..."

  Apart from Fatu, the others took a cold breath, and Xilu, who was as strong as a tendon, raised his axe and charged forward.

  Li Junshan hastily stopped him, the alien under his mental command, like lightning, quickly ran out hundreds of meters away, and in the blink of an eye, it flashed back.

  "This is... your... summon beast?" Looking at the grotesque creature filled with violent aura, saliva occasionally dripping from its huge mouth, Anna's entire body of fat trembled together.

  "Mm." Li Junshan nodded affirmatively, reaching out to touch the alien. The latter lowered its head submissively, like a well-behaved dog, allowing Li Junshan to stroke it.

  "This should be a five... fifth-grade magical beast, right?" Sally's beautiful eyes were wide with wonder, her pink lips slightly parted, and her face was full of incredulity.

  "I don't know." Li Junshan shook his head and said, "But they may have already hunted many fifth-level magical beasts."

  "Ah!" Lisa's mouth opened even wider.

  "They?" Anna took a few deep breaths, subconsciously avoiding the alien's ferocious gaze, and asked in surprise: "How many summoning beasts do you have."

  Li Junshan simply summoned the remaining four, and the five deformed creatures lined up in a row. Except for the one that had taken the sixth-level Water Rhinoceros as its host, which was slightly different from the others, they were almost identical.

  Seeing the extremely shocked expressions of everyone, Li Junshan felt extremely pleased with himself and said: "Aunt Anna, I'll ride on them to chase after the Dragon Slaying Squad. I will definitely think of a way to bring Andre and Uncle Hack back."

  "I want to go too." Sally tugged at Li Junshan's sleeve and said with a pleading face, "Take me with you."

  Xiru didn't need to say anything, this kid was bold and fearless, carrying an axe and climbing onto the body of a nearby alien creature. Li Junshan hurriedly calmed down the alien, which had raised its tailbone, and it finally put it back down.

  "Where are you going?" Anna said with a straight face, "There's nothing good in the desert, and it's so dangerous."

  Anna is very popular in Fenghuo Town, and her husband has saved the town before, so many people respect her. Sally's mother passed away early, she almost regarded Anna as her own mother, Sally didn't dare to retort, her eyes were full of pleading, constantly tugging at Li Junshan's hem.

  Li Junshan had never seen her in this pose before, and for a moment he felt dizzy.

  "Aunt Anna, you've also seen the speed of this summoned beast, and they can maintain it for more than half a day. Even if we encounter danger, we can quickly escape, I guarantee to Chairman Mao that Sally will absolutely not be harmed."

  Although I don't know who Chairman Mao is, seeing Li Junshan's serious face, Anna thought for a moment and said: "Alright, you're just going to chase after Hack and the others. At this speed, you'll catch up soon. Don't go deep into the desert, and don't think about following them to slay dragons. Once you find them, come back to me immediately."

  Sally jumped up excitedly, her face full of joy. Li Junshan nodded repeatedly and gestured for the aliens to lower their bodies. After everyone got on separately, he reminded Sally and Xilu to hold tight. With a flicker of his mind, one alien led the way, while the other four quickly followed.

  "Come back early." Anna blinked, and Li Junshan and others disappeared.
