“Phew, those sons of bi*ches are truly brutal!”
After the navy base was destroyed, Ruan Xiaoer fought vehemently and climbed to the back of the Black Tortoise. He stopped his bleeding left arm, which had been half severed from his elbow, with his saber and cursed the chasing mermaids.
The destruction of the navy meant more than a physical injury for him.
Because Zhou Yu had left for Guobei County, he was the only person left to command the navy forces of Dragon City.
However, all the navy forces were trounced and nearly wiped out in the mermaids’ assault.
Even Ruan Xiaoqi, who was the strongest general in the navy and had already entered the Transcendent level, went missing after the destruction of the base. Ruan Xiaoqi, had also disappeared along with the other Water Demons who patrolled with him earlier.
Both of his brothers could be dead. As a result, Ruan Xiaoer hated the mermaids’ guts!
“Brothers, follow me! Let’s avenge our deceased brothers!”
Therefore, after taking a brief rest on the Black Tortoise’s back and treating his severed arm, Ruan Xiaoer continued to move forward.
He grabbed a dark red saber that was full of cracks with his left hand, jumped to the snake head of the Black Tortoise, and slashed at the ferocious beasts that were rising from the seawater.
Although he failed to advance into the Transcendent level like some Perfect heroes did, Ruan Xiaoer, as one of the oldest members of Dragon City, was at the peak of Extraordinary Rank-9.
His Hundred-Scaled Saber was crafted with the scales of the Hundred Wings Bloody Blade Fish that the navy forces killed, which were sharp enough to cut apart iron warships, by Ji Ye who used the Treasure Refining talent that he acquired from the Yaksha Queen.
Boom!
After Ruan Xiaoer waved the saber, it emanated a dazzling redness.
Then, it fell apart into a hundred pieces of dark red blades, which transformed into a shoal of red fish that were small, thin, and sharp after entering the water. They confronted the shoal of fish like a mincer.
Pew! Pew! Pew!
In the blink of an eye, a dozen sea beasts were caught up by the shoal of red fish, which mauled them and turned the seawater red.
Boom!
However, there were simply too many sea beasts.
After this shoal of fish died, even more fish had come close and surrounded him under the stimulation of blood.
“Come on, however many of you may come, I’ll kill you all!”
While yelling, Ruan Xiaoer waved his saber again and annihilated half of the sea beasts that approached him.
However, when the red fish dashed and were about to swallow all the sea beasts…
“Come back!”
Ruan Xiaoer suddenly stopped attacking because several men were revealed after a great number of sea beasts were killed and cleared out.
One of them had the tattoo of a slim leopard on his chest. His arms were as thick as iron rods. One of the arms wore an unusual weapon that looked like a crocodile’s claw while the other had been bitten off. He was already in a coma due to the huge loss of blood.
He was none other than Ruan Xiaowu, the deputy commander of the Water Demons who lost touch with the command center at the beginning.
Around him, several other soldiers were fighting the sea demons.
It seemed that they were surrounded by sea beasts and were trying to break free. It was thanks to their protection that Ruan Xiaowu hadn’t been eaten up yet.
After all, every Water Demon was an Extraordinary Elite. The survivors here were even all above Extraordinary Rank-5.
“Don’t panic, brother. I’m here to help you.”
Ruan Xiaoer was quite delighted to find his brother alive.
He jumped into the seawater without caring about anything and waved the Hundred-Scaled Saber to clear a path. Several other soldiers of the Dragon Tooth Battalion jumped into the sea along with him.
Pew! Pew! Pew!
A dozen seconds later, the sea beasts that surrounded Ruan Xiaowu were all defeated and executed by Ruan Xiaoer and the soldiers.
“Hurry up! We’ll cover you!”
Then, Ruan Xiaoer made a gesture towards the Water Demons.
“Stick close to me!”
The mermaids had noticed the situation here and more sea beasts were coming close. Some of the mermaids were drawing near too.
Ruan Xiaoer didn’t dare to delay. He carried the unconscious Ruan Xiaoer on his back while he initiated the red fish to open a path for him.
“Gulu!”
However, exactly when he turned around and swam towards the Black Tortoise, the Water Demons suddenly looked at each other.
Then, a Water Demon who stood on Ruan Xiaoer’s side suddenly moved his wrist.
He stabbed Ruan Xiaoer’s abdomen with a dagger that was made of special materials and invisible in water.
“You…”
However, as the commander of the Dragon Tooth Battalion, Ruan Xiaoer had always been carrying a dragon tooth that Ji Ye had polished, which allowed him to perceive tiny changes in the water. So, he narrowly dodged the Water Demon’s attack.
However, hardly had Ruan Xiaoer roared at the Water Demon furiously…
Pew!
A bloodstained crocodile’s claw dug through Ruan Xiaoer’s heart with a beating heart in the middle of it.
“Old Five, you… Gu!”
Ruan Xiaoer was stunned.
Blood and bubbles rose from his throat as he tried to talk.
On his back, Ruan Xiaoer, who was originally unconscious, had opened his eyes and pressed his remaining arm on Ruan Xiaoer’s back.
Because Ruan Xiaoer was completely distracted by the Water Demons, and Ruan Xiaowu was also Extraordinary Rank-9 and his attack was fast, Ruan Xiaoer failed to react even though he had been through many battles.
“Brother!”
After a furious roar, the seawater exploded, and a human who was covered in blood dashed out of a swarm of sea beasts.
His body seemed to be made of iron, and his eyes were bulging out. He held a broken transparent harpoon in his hands. He was none other than Ruan Xiaoqi.
Although he wasn’t the earliest one to arrive, Ruan Xiaoqi was actually the only one among his siblings that had reached the Transcendent level.
It was because he was actually more famous than his elder brothers, and he had greater potential thanks to the rules on the Land of Inheritance.
However, because he was in the Transcendent level, the mermaids attacked him fiercely when the navy base was destroyed. He was cornered by two Transcendent sea beasts.
He only managed to break out by gathering the souls of the fallen soldiers around him with the talent that he acquired from the captain of the Ghostship.
However, the first scene he saw after was one of his brothers killing the other.
“Ah! Ah…”
Not just Ruan Xiaoer, the soldiers of the Dragon Tooth Battalion who followed Ruan Xiaoer were also attacked by the Water Demons. They exclaimed in pain and spouted out bloody bubbles.
“They’re the Water Demons!”
“Why are the Water Demons killing their allies?”
On the Black Tortoise, other people who were about to dive and reinforce them changed their expressions just as Ruan Xiaoqi did.
“There seem to be threads underneath their skin… It’s the sea monsters!”
Some of them who had keen eyes noticed what was going on.
Under the cover of the bloody seawater that had turned dark due to the broken flesh, a lot of threads extended from Ruan Xiaoer and the Water Demons and then gathered in the hands of a beautiful and charming mermaid not far away.
“I’ll stop her! You need to go right now!”
A soldier of the Dragon Tooth Battalion, whose intestines were leaking out due to the previous attack on his abdomen, shouted.
Then, he activated the dragon tooth in his hand and turned it into a streak of light, charging at the mermaid who was holding threads. He stabbed the dragon tooth at the cleavage between her bosoms that were covered by a pair of black shells.
Whoosh!
However, a layer of green light surfaced on the mermaid and blocked the dragon tooth’s attack.
After that, the mermaid began to sing a sorrowful song. There were even tears in her innocent eyes.
Upon hearing the song, the aggressive soldier of the Dragon Tooth Battalion lost control, and the dragon tooth in his hands dimmed.
Then, he trembled and held his neck, as if he were drowning.
It must be noted that every navy soldier of Dragon City was good at swimming and could submerge in water for hours. They could hardly get drowned unless their consciousness was affected and they couldn’t control their bodies any longer.
Whoosh!
When the soldier of the Dragon Tooth Battalion was almost dying from drowning, the mermaid surprisingly stopped singing.
She stuck out her tongue and picked a tear that had just rolled down from her eyes. Then, the tear quickly consolidated into a glimmering pearl on her tongue.
After that, the mermaid bit the pearl and delivered it into the Extraordinary Rank-8 soldier’s mouth.
At the same time, she canceled the protective layer around her and laid the colorful ribbon in her hands on the soldier’s nape as if it were a scarf.
They seemed to be a couple of love birds.
However, the people of Dragon City who were watching the scene through the projection of the SkyNet were all chilled.
Then, the mermaid lifted one of the threads on the glowing ribbon with her long, transparent fingernails and injected it into the artery on the soldier’s neck like a needle.
The shiny thread extended throughout the soldier’s blood vessels and nerves and occupied his body.
Whoosh!
When all the steps were done, the soldier opened his eyes and lunged at his partners that were surrounded by sea beasts.
“Is it possible that the mermaids can enslave and manipulate other creatures with such threads?”
The picture that the drones took from the sky and transmitted via the SkyNet made Su Nongying widen her eyes.
That might be the correct answer. It explained why the mermaids could gather such a huge troop when they only had one settlement!
This enslaving technique was even weirder than that of the Dense Fog race, which could replace the prey’s soul with their own. None of the races that passed the Ten-Species Competition were easy to deal with.
“Those guys look like Nami the Tidecaller from LoL, with the River Spirit skin!”
The players, who had established the 28 Mansions around the array flags, looked at the battle that the SkyNet projected to the sky and mumbled to ease their anxiety.
“They’re truly similar! What should you pick if your enemy picks Nami?”
“Blitzcrank the Great Steam Golem with Ignite. Easy win!”
“But where can we find a Steam Golem?”
Speaking of Steam Golems, Dragon City did have them.
“Deploy the Silver Dragon Guards!”
Thanks to the defense of the Black Tortoise, it was hard for the seawater that the mermaids controlled to enter from the north.
However, the water then flowed in other directions, and subsequently, the sea levels in the west and the east had been raised by almost three meters.
When the seawater reached the science center, which was only less important than the settlement core in Dragon City, Elder Jiao pressed a button heavily.
Pop! Crackle!
After absorbing the lightning strikes that the green Flood Dragon unleashed, the Silver Liquid pool, as the energy center of the settlement, started to swirl.
After Elder Jiao gave the order, several silver creatures that had the heads of Flood Dragons crawled out and released silver balls of light.
They passed the White Tiger high above and hit the tides that were approaching Dragon City.
Every glittering silver ball quickly spread out after it crashed into the water.
After that, centered at the area of the impact, the surging water was slowed down and transformed into what appeared to be ice but carried the color of metals.
[Silver Dragon Guards]
[Level: Transcendent Rank-1]
[Rarity: Elite]
[Description: A special creature that was born in Dragon City. It has the Transcendent ability to transform anything into metal!]
After Dragon City was upgraded to the Transcendent level, the Silver Liquid pool at the science center was upgraded into a Transcendent resource.
Not long ago, Ji Ye did a special experiment, which was to fuse the Silver Liquid pool with the SkyNet.
The result, which was the Silver Dragon Guards, was quite surprising. They had the characteristics of T-1000 and the Metal Men.
Apart from being able to directly communicate with the SkyNet and fight with high-tech weapons, they also had the ability to transform anything into metals. They were also the first Transcendent unit in Dragon City.
Not just Dragon City. If the intelligence department of the Dragon City Group, which had been established on Earth, was correct, although only about a hundred of the eight thousand remaining settlements from Earth on the Land of Inheritance had upgraded to the Transcendent level, Dragon City was the only one that had developed a Transcendent unit!
