Chapter 193: Chapter 41 The Roaring Steel Behemoth

Just when everyone thought the situation was set, a sudden twist occurred, a feathered arrow fell from the sky, striking directly into the chest of that Lizardman Warrior!

The latter grunted and immediately fell backward with his head thrown back.

The two daggers in his hands also slipped out, falling upon his own body.

He initially tried to get up from the ground, but as soon as he touched the blades of the daggers, his limbs instantly stiffened, and he fell straight back; white smoke rose from where he touched, accompanied by the smell of scorched skin.

In just a moment, he was breathless.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events.

Jude was the first to react, removing the hand crossbow from his waist, looking up in the direction from which the arrow came, and quickly spotted the archer.

And the attacker was floating in the air!

Unlike ordinary people, he had a pair of white wings on his back, which allowed him to fly like a bird.

Having wandered the Western Territory for so many years, Jude had seen all kinds of people, but he had never encountered such a strange individual; he wasn’t even sure if the guy was human or some other kind of monster.

However, he hesitated for less than half a second and then turned on the laser sight on his hand crossbow.

The next moment, a small red dot appeared on the chest of that Birdman.

Jude pressed the trigger without hesitation, firing the crossbow arrow.

But the aerial attacker, having succeeded in his sneak attack, did not linger in combat. After dodging Jude’s arrow with a flip, he flew higher.

However, the ugly-faced man’s arrow also roused everyone from their shock.

Subsequently, more and more people pulled out crossbows and began aiming and shooting.

In an instant, the Birdman’s body had been marked with over a dozen red dots. He had just witnessed the warriors of the Double Rest Sect and the Arias family battle the Black Dragon and knew the threat of these little red dots too well, especially since he didn’t have scale armor.

To dodge so many arrows at once, he risked by folding his wings, letting his body plummet downward.

After falling about twenty or so meters, he finally spread his wings again, but this time his flight path seemed erratic, barely covering a short distance before plunging straight down from the sky.

He crashed into the grass, rolled for more than ten steps, and then lay still, his face covered in blood; it was unclear whether he was dead or alive.

But at that moment, no one had the inclination to care about him anymore because they realized that the Black Dragon, which seemed to be on its last breath a moment ago, had its eyelids trembling again.

Fortunately, the third Sea King Spear had already been reloaded and adjusted in angle by then. Taking advantage of the Black Dragon’s lack of mobility, a thick iron crossbow arrow was fired again, speeding straight toward its target!

The Iron Crossbow Arrow finally hit the Black Dragon’s left shoulder!

The tremendous kinetic energy not only penetrated its scale armor but also tore through its muscles, shattered its shoulder blade, and plunged deeply into its body, burying over half the shaft of the arrow.

Yet, the Black Dragon did not perish. On the contrary, the intense pain awoke it from its stupor. It uttered a Screamer, opened its eyes, and propped up its body with its wings.

Having suffered continuous heavy blows, it had completely lost its sanity, and nothing but endless rage remained in its blue pupils.

The Black Dragon first breathed out flames, completely incinerating the Lizardman Warrior, who had attacked it earlier, along with the high-pressure pack and battery on his back. Then, despite the pain, it tried to yank its trapped wing out of the bear trap with brute force!

The chains stretched taut in the Black Dragon’s struggle against the earth!

Even with the improved bite force from the springs Li Yu brought from another world, the bear trap was clearly no match for a determined Black Dragon seeking to free itself.

The part where it was trapped soon became a bloody mess under the strain, but the Black Dragon was about to escape the trap set by the Double Rest Sect.

Watching the battle from the side, Miss Rabbit felt her heart leap into her throat!

Because this battle had clearly seeded a bitter enmity between the two sides. If the Dragon Slayer plan failed this time and the Black Dragon managed to break free, once it healed its wounds and flew back, it would surely turn this place into a sea of fire.

Even if everyone hid in cellars by then, the crops in the fields couldn’t hide with them.

Soon, this land would become barren.

Moreover, after going through this crisis, the Black Dragon would be on guard against Li Yu’s magical tactics, making it even harder to kill it next time.

The more Ireya thought about it, the more worried she became, and she couldn’t help but turn her head to look at someone at her side, wondering if the Prophet of the Double Rest Sect had any solutions for such a dire situation.

But she discovered that Li Yu was already gone.

The next moment, the roar of an engine reached the young girl’s ears!

It was the bellow of a steel beast!

Li Yu, riding a Qianjiang motorcycle, leaped past the Lady, who watched in astonishment as he sped toward the Black Dragon.

Li Yu had overestimated his opponent as much as possible, but to be honest, he hadn’t expected that despite all the arrangements and preparations, he would still fall short.

No wonder throughout history, every Dragon Slayer hero had stood upon the bones of countless failures.

Li Yu never intended to seek glory; his role had always been that of the intellectual kind, for after all, he was a Prophet, not a Berserker.

But he had no choice but to take action this time. If he let the Black Dragon flee, he didn’t know how many more would die in its wake, and the hard-earned progress of construction he had achieved might be reduced to ashes.

This forced Li Yu to gamble it all.

True to his usual way of doing things, he wouldn’t rely on just one piece of high-voltage equipment. Now his motorcycle was carrying another portable outdoor power supply and high-voltage package.

So, what Li Yu had to do was get the Black Dragon close to the high-voltage circuit again.

As a wise man once said, if once doesn’t work, try again!

Anyway, he had the "Reborn" to protect him; if he did die, he would just be reborn once more.

Li Yu decided to twist the throttle to the max, the Qianjiang motorbike accelerated, kicking up a trail of dust, and headed straight for the Black Dragon!

Since it was all rough terrain, Li Yu felt his backside was about to fall apart from the bumps.

Throughout the ride, every part of the motorcycle that should and shouldn’t make noise did so, making Li Yu worry whether this old, abandoned bike could withstand such rough handling.

Fortunately, it didn’t stall halfway, and it took Li Yu a little over two minutes to ride from his hiding spot right in front of the Black Dragon.

As he rode, he reached into his backpack and felt for two soda bottles, lighted their fuses with a lighter, and hurled them out with force.

These were the smoke bombs he had made himself. He had distributed some to Jude and others before, and they had worked well, so he’d made a few more afterward.

He didn’t expect they would come in handy so soon; the white smoke quickly enveloped the area again.

Both friend and foe present had their vision blurred, but Li Yu remained calm, taking out "gaming glasses" from his backpack and putting them on his head.
