Chapter 456: Chapter 304: Great Victory!_2
“Farewell, Dragon Flower Islands…” The Dragon Taming King squatted down and patted the Dragon Horn of the Black Thunder Dragon King.
Following that, the Black Thunder Dragon King spread its huge wings and flew back into the sky, heading towards the deeper islands of the Witch Sea.
With the sound of its wings beating, the Black Thunder Dragon King disappeared from everyone’s sight.
He’s gone… Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief and gradually regained his composure.
If they had continued to fight, the outcome would have inevitably been both sides suffering heavy losses.
However, the fact that they had actually managed to repel the Dragon Taming King was far beyond his expectations.
The dark flame on Chen Qi’s face dissipated, and the Dark Fire Hand behind him gradually retracted.
Then, Chen Qi glanced at the ‘Dragon Heart Limited Backpack Card’ in his hand, this backpack card.
The gains from this trip were greater than he had imagined.
However, unlike ordinary backpack cards, it had a larger capacity, came with a stealth effect, and a special password; if someone attempted to force it open, their location would be revealed.
Next, as the Shadow of Flame Demon faded, the intense pain within his body returned once again.
Fortunately, this time, with Fen’s ‘Life Injection’ spell, his body didn’t suffer as severe damage as the last time.
Having a healer’s care is indeed great… Chen Qi couldn’t help but muse, as he looked back at the distant navy.
We need to accelerate and leave… Chen Qi picked up Fen in his arms and hurried towards the Dragon Flower Islands, searching for Bree’s figure.
The navy could arrive at any moment, and they had to immediately start the ‘Space Jump’ engine to escape this place.
The unnamed island was now scorched earth, turned to ashes under the impact of lightning.
Contrary to Chen Qi’s expectations, Bree had barely been injured; he had hidden behind the Ice Witch’s statue and successfully withstood the Dragon Taming King’s Blade Release.
The statue of the Ice Witch, located in the center of the island, still stood tall amidst the wreckage, albeit with a few more scars.
The statue of the Ice Witch remained unyielding.
“Thank you, Ice Witch, for your protection! Thank you for your protection!!”
Bree and a bunch of small animals stood in front of the Ice Witch’s statue, hands clasped in prayer, devoutly praying.
At this moment, he seemed to understand why his captain, Palu, revered the Ice Witch so much.
What material is this statue made of? Chen Qi gently touched the Ice Witch’s statue.
He couldn’t help but admire the durability of the Ice Witch’s statue.
If he could dismantle this Ice Witch and use it to build a ship, would it not make for an impressive vessel, or perhaps use it to make a shield… A bold idea popped into Chen Qi’s head.
He was, after all, in need of a defensive weapon.
In the Witch Sea, there were no shortage of Ice Witch statues.
But now, with the situation urgent, there was no time to act.
Chen Qi calmly stated,
“Bree, the navy could arrive at any moment; we need to leave.”
“Yes.”
Bree replied tensely; he had almost witnessed the entire battle on this island.
Afterward, the two of them headed towards the Phantom.
The Phantom was docked on the other side of the island, behind a large rock; due to the impact of the Dragon Taming King’s Blade Release, it had sustained considerable damage.
But fortunately, they had Mechanic Bree, and they had prepared repair materials in advance.
With Bree’s expert operation, they successfully repaired the Phantom and activated its Space Engine.
Chen Qi chose a destination, a poor tourist island.
Before long, they emerged from a space rift, raised the ‘Dining Ship’ flag, and masqueraded as a ravaged little dining ship robbed at sea.
After this Space Jump, the entire Phantom was tattered, intermittently letting out the groans of the ship.
Chen Qi and Bree changed into regular clothes and, with a telescope in hand, scanned their surroundings.
This poor place, with only a D-grade “Lumberyard,” was now swarming with people.
Under the warfare in the Dragon Flower Islands, many Hunters seeking refuge and civilians afraid of war gathered here.
After several consecutive uses of the Space Engine, the Phantom was in such bad condition it couldn’t even activate the acceleration engine.
Chen Qi and Bree decided to navigate the ship in, planning to evade the search and collect materials to repair the vessel in this place.
Besides, they needed to gather some potions, and if that didn’t pan out, they might even have to kidnap a doctor… Chen Qi sat on the upper deck of the ship, resting his chin in his hands, and looked at Fen, who was unconscious on the sofa.
Fen’s injuries from this journey were much more severe than he had anticipated.
…
…
At dawn, the flames of the sun rekindled.
Upon an unnamed island, the Tiger Shark Force’s special operation team, the Tiger Shark Third Squad, arrived at the islet where the Ice Witch Statue stood.
There were a full two hundred of them, each one fully armed, but at this moment, all of them, as if by agreement, frowned at the sight of the scorched earth before them.
They had been searching on their own for a long while but, apart from a small red crab, found no useful clues.
In the end, they could only plant the Victory Flag of the Tiger Shark Force on this island.
The escape of the Dragon Taming King hadn’t been communicated to his subordinates; as the Legend fled, the Dragon Taming King’s Army collapsed instantly, and the supporting troops quickly fell into utter chaos.
The Tiger Shark Leader pursued their victory, annihilating the Black Whale Group’s supporting troops and even successfully hunting down a Black Sea Elephant, taking thousands of captives.
This war, which affected the strategic situation, was won by their navy, by their Tiger Shark Force!
The entire Dragon Flower Islands would now officially be taken over by the Tiger Shark Force, and this news would be sent back to Moonstone City. When the people of Moonstone City heard this, they would surely rejoice at the bravery of the Tiger Shark Force!
“Awesome!”
“Next time, I’m going to use the skulls of those pirates as piss pots!”
“Our Tiger Shark Force is unstoppable.”
The sailors couldn’t help but cheer for this great victory!
“Reporter Pelu, please take a photo of us beneath the Victory Flag! And if possible, let our heroic stature grace the front page of tomorrow’s paper!”
A Navy Admiral from the Mediterranean said with pride.
…
Pelu sat on a charred stump, concentrating on her writing, ignoring them.
Lilith, your news won’t be as big as mine… a faint smile curled at the corner of Pelu’s mouth.
“Take down the Victory Flag!”
Suddenly, a hearty voice pierced the island.
The Tiger Shark Leader roared, his robust figure on this island resembling a towering mountain.
“But, Tiger Shark Leader, this time, our Tiger Shark Force has won a great victory…”
The Mediterranean Navy Admiral said with a hint of grievance.
“This sort of victory, given to us by others, is not a true victory at all. Only by defeating the Legend head-on can we claim a real victory!”
The Tiger Shark Leader said angrily, a flicker of rage passing through his eyes.
He shook his head, believing that if it weren’t for the Black Hunter, their preparations would have resulted in far greater casualties than expected!
What they needed was reflection, whipping, not celebration!
…
The sailors of the Tiger Shark Force bowed their heads, silent for a long while. They were resentful in their hearts, but their Tiger Shark Leader was such a man, who, despite the win, still chastised them, leaving them no room for rebuttal.
That said, the Tiger Shark Leader, heavy steps and all, walked over to where Pelu and her party were, extending his huge hand, scarred and calloused:
“Miss Pelu, hello.”
“Hello, Tiger Shark Leader! I am busy right now. If you have anything, you can speak with my assistant An or Diya, who’s drinking in the distance!”
Pelu continued to write, too busy to deal with the Tiger Shark Leader.
Are all those from the White Dove Newspaper so impolite… A flash of anger crossed the Tiger Shark Leader’s eyes, but he didn’t chastise her further, instead turning to An beside Pelu.
“Hello, the new instructor from Maro Town.”
“Hello, Tiger Shark Leader.”
An performed a polite gesture.
Then, the Tiger Shark Leader asked curiously:
“Miss An, to be honest, apart from Diya and Hai Ge, I don’t know much about the seven supernovas of the Witch Sea.”
“??”
An cocked her head, puzzled.
Was the Tiger Shark Leader interested in the Black Hunter?
The Tiger Shark Leader asked:
“I want to know, what do you think about the strength of the Black Hunter, and can our Tiger Shark Force take him down?”
