The total number of adult luminous mica in the mica hunting grounds is in the millions.
Only one in a thousand mica pieces reaches the highest level, totaling around one thousand pieces.
At this moment, half of the thousand Mica that have reached the next level are concentrated within a ten-kilometer radius of the hunting grounds.
They were chased by two airships and four ornithopters and steam-powered flying armor.
The fireflies that filled the sky were sometimes scattered by the airship, and sometimes they gathered and retaliated...
It looks like a blackboard drawing created by six chalks at the same time, quite a sight.
But the luminescent mica was only chased, not attacked.
As time went on, more and more luminescent mica joined the chase game.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight hundred advanced-level mica and over ten thousand ordinary mica gathered in a small area in the center of the hunting ground.
Like a galaxy of stars, painting the night sky.
The central sea of clouds was gradually filled with billowing steam stirred up by the airships and mica, with feed flying and excrement churning.
Roya piloted the fully loaded Blue Dragonfly, decorating it with entwined and extended iron wires to disguise the dragonflies as flying spaghetti.
Enveloped by Wendell's wind barrier, the Blue Dragonfly remained dark and silent, keeping away from the Sharkwing Hunters' ships and silently pursuing Mica in the murky sea of clouds.
On the other side, the Wide-Area Silence was like a fearless surfer, chasing the brightest cluster of fluorescent lights in the night sky at full speed.
However, Roya maintained the distance between the Blue Dragonfly and the Wide-Area Silence at a distance that could be reached within five minutes.
An hour later.
The center of the hunting grounds still resembles a Van Gogh painting, vibrant and colorful, and looks incredibly lively.
However, the main character, the Mica Dragon, never appeared.
Roya, who had been observing the trajectories of the Sharkwing Hunter Group's ships, concluded that:
"The two ornithopters seemed to be chasing the mica swarm, but their hunting patterns were too mechanical and perfunctory; the Sharkwing airship and the steam-powered flying armor remained around the Wide-Area Silent, periodically circling at a fixed distance... If the timeline hadn't been extended to an hour, I really wouldn't have noticed them!"
"As you said, they've been watching us for a while now."
Wendell picked up the ram's horn teapot and took a sip of black tea.
Roya's primary objective is to capture the Mica Dragon, and he does not want to clash with the Sharkwing Hunters.
"Yes, for the past hour or so, they've been in an attack position, probing us... If we had shown any weakness, they would have already made their move."
"I never imagined that the phenomenon of hunters hunting hunters would be so widespread. It's truly a sign of the world going to the dogs."
"If I'm not mistaken, they're probably in cahoots with the hunting grounds, specializing in dealing with customers who manage to break through the Corrupted Mica but aren't strong enough to capture the Mica Dragon."
"That's far too weak."
"You're too strong... The Sharkwing Hunters, when united, are enough to deal with a third-tier superhuman."
Of course, if the operation fails, I suspect they will become mica feed for the hunting grounds.
At least in the stories I heard a month ago, the team responsible for tracking powerful individuals at the Mica Hunting Grounds wasn't them.
Wendell's eyes were weary, and her tone was languid; she was tired of the aimless chase.
"When are you planning to make your move?"
"It's not up to me."
If breaking through the siege of the luminous mica and being devoured by the rotten mica is considered passing the first hurdle, then seeing the mica dragon is the reward for passing the first hurdle.
Generally speaking, once the Mica Dragon makes its appearance and is defeated, it will not reappear.
Unless you encounter a novice hunting group that has managed to break through by sheer luck, or someone with some skill but carrying a high bounty.
Thus, the Sharkwing Hunters emerged.
This is a hidden level.
There's no fixed strategy for hidden levels, so I can only prepare multiple plans and take it one step at a time.
I need you to wake up. Even though it's dark, it's not time to sleep yet.
……
the other side.
On the deck of the Sharkwing airship.
The young scout rushed to the captain's side, bringing new information:
"Boss, the mechanical pigeon sent a message. The Beastmaster is repeatedly urging us to take action, and he doesn't sound very happy about it."
A middle-aged man wearing an eagle-winged hat and a wide black robe leaned against the railing, his brows furrowed, seemingly puzzled.
As novices, these two were overly cautious.
If it's a seasoned veteran posing as a newbie, the Mica Hunting Grounds have been open for over a decade. Rather than believing you can catch a Mica Dragon, you'd be better off trusting the Arden Extraordinary Factory's Extraordinary Awakening Package.
"The target's actions are suspicious; we still need to observe."
"yes!"
Fifteen minutes later, the scouts arrived again.
"Boss, the Beastmaster just read in the newspaper that the target's Tier 1 ornithopter is none other than the Blue Dragonfly, with a combined bounty of 400 gold coins, and it can transform into armor!"
Can an ornithopter transform?
The man in the eagle hat thought he had misheard.
"Let the second son work on the steam sculpting of the target ornithopter, you go get the newspaper!"
"yes!"
Ten minutes later.
On one side are yesterday's bounty and the urgent bounty in the Merlin Hunting Daily.
On the other side is the sculpted diagram brought back by the steam-powered flying armor.
"Remove the outer barbed wire disguise... the machine's outline is exactly the same."
The man in the eagle hat compared the items repeatedly, his gaze slightly narrowed, forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart.
"A Tier 1 ornithopter, normally, would only have a bounty of fifty gold coins at most, but this kid has a bounty of four hundred? What kind of trouble did he commit?"
What's even stranger is that the beast tamer actually gave him the four hundred bounty for such a simple act of kindness...
He did not launch an attack immediately, but instead notified the messenger:
"Tell the Beastmaster that the target is suspected of hiding high-level strength. I can attack, but the Mica Dragon must attract the target's attention again. I will launch a surprise attack under the guise of the hunt."
……
After half an hour.
Blue Dragonfly flapping-wing aircraft.
Wendell turned the teapot over and poured out the ram's horn-shaped spout.
Not a single drop left...
After finishing the refreshing black tea, she was already feeling drowsy.
Roya had a bad feeling.
Three hours have passed since the Mica Dragon first appeared.
The Mica Dragon seemed to have opened a portal and left, leaving no trace behind.
Of course, it's highly unlikely that it will happen again.
Right now, not to mention Wendell, who was continuously using his wind-breathing divine sense to observe the mica swarm, even Roya was extremely exhausted and about to collapse.
What he had expected to be a thrilling and exciting dragon hunt turned into a war of attrition...
Luo Yaqiang roused himself and pretended to be mysterious, chatting about interesting topics to perk him up.
"You asked me before what kind of woman I was in your eyes? Now I'll answer you—"
North Wendell, you know nothing.
Wendell's eyes flickered slightly, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether he suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity with the familiar Roya, or whether he sensed fragments of the past in the unfamiliar Roya.
"You mean...we've met before?"
The words had barely left his mouth!
A streak of seven colors flashed across the center of the hunting grounds...
In the opposite direction to last time, it flew rapidly to the side and below the Blue Dragonfly.
Like a rainbow chalk, it quickly swiped from the upper right corner of the blackboard to the lower left corner.
"Mica Dragon!"
Thanks to Roya's invigorating trick, Wendell was able to clearly see the location and trajectory of the Mica Dragon this time.
Her silver eyebrows furrowed slightly, her tone tinged with surprise:
"The Mica Dragon did not appear out of thin air. Judging from its flight trajectory and air ripples, it evolved from mica of the same size."
It's not easy, you're almost asleep and you're still staring at the blood energy around you...
Roya had previously made several speculations about the movement patterns of the Mica Dragon.
As it turned out, his most unlikely prediction came true.
"It seems the Mica Dragon can disguise itself as Mica... A descendant of the dragon race, yet it can disguise itself as a lowly spirit like Mica!"
The Blue Dragonfly was launched like an arrow from a bowstring, instantly flying away.
However, the goal is not the rainbow of colors.
It's a wide-area silence!
The Wide-Area Silent is still chasing the luminescent mica cluster.
Roya's bizarre actions completely woke up the drowsy Wendell, with an energizing effect far exceeding that of black tea.
"Why...why don't you go after the Mica Dragon?"
Rojas had his reasons.
Or rather, Easterners have their own theories of war.
"It is said that it is easy for a man to pursue a woman, but easy for a woman to pursue a man, but difficult to achieve the same result as a woman pursuing a man."
The Mica Dragon reappeared to lure me into pursuit, so that the Beastmaster and the Sharkwing Hunters could then attack from both sides...
War is now inevitable.
But I want to choose my own battlefield.
Wendell stared at Roya's profile, feeling a bit out of sync with this boy who had only been a hunter for a few days.
Meanwhile, the Blue Dragonfly's unusual maneuvers also baffled the two flapping-wing aircraft that were secretly tracking it.
The two pilots had no time to consult the captain and had no choice but to strictly follow the previous orders, closely following the Blue Dragonfly.
It's tantamount to self-destruction...
Unexpectedly, the Blue Dragonfly made a turn halfway and quickly approached one of the Black Hawk Ornithopters, flying parallel to it.
Roya's feigned doubt came through the brass megaphone.
"My phlogiston is running low. I'm going back to the airship to get some. Why did you follow me, brother?"
Unable to launch a sideways attack, the young pilot on the shadowy ornithopter stammered:
"I...I'm here to inform Mr. Solo that the Mica Dragon has reappeared! Didn't you see it?!"
You're quite polite, aren't you...
Roya nodded slightly, but did not look at the Mica Dragon. Instead, he continued to stare at it with a smile.
"Really? My eyesight isn't very good... but yours is even worse than mine."
As we were talking!
A wire with a spike at one end, coated with insect sap and corrosive liquid, was conspicuously found on the bottom of the Black Hawk flapping-wing aircraft.
The wire suddenly shot upwards and instantly pierced through the driver's seat.
With a backward swipe, it sliced the person and cockpit in two.
With a loud bang!
The Black Hawk helicopter disintegrated in mid-air.
The explosion sent plumes of smoke and fire billowing, steam billowing out, and blood and flesh flying everywhere...
A kilometer away, another Black Hawk flapping-wing aircraft, its pilot's eyes glazed over, then instantly transformed into a raging inferno.
"Scola... my brother!"
He piloted his ornithopter and charged forward without hesitation!
They even disobeyed orders and fired fiercely at the blue dragonfly.
In an instant, the blue dragonfly's form and the flames of the explosion vanished together into the rolling black clouds...
The next moment, the blue dragonfly appeared above someone who was flying backwards and upside down, a position that was impossible.
Along with it flew a steam knife, upside down, emitting scalding steam, its blade glowing red...
And Roya's megaphone:
"You're a good man. To avenge your brother, you actually opened fire on the Four Hundred Golden Monks. My condolences!"
The steam blade instantly sliced into the nose of the Black Hawk helicopter.
A silky, vertical cut grazed the driver's arm and flashed past.
The Black Hawk helicopter split in two and exploded with a loud bang!
The driver was enveloped by the airbag and then caught in the blast wave, falling into the sea of clouds along with the deflated airbag...
The Blue Dragonfly departed gracefully.
Roya originally planned to ambush the first ornithopter, then pretend to fight the second ornithopter, creating the illusion that their strengths were evenly matched.
Unfortunately, our strength doesn't allow it.
It's also because the second ornithopter was so eager for revenge...
The blue dragonfly quietly followed behind the Wide-Area Silence.
Looking up, the sky was filled with colorful fireflies, like a tidal wave of beasts, surging towards the Blue Dragonfly and the Wide-Area Silence.
The Wide-Area Silent also charged towards the Mica Beast Tide.
Running in both directions.
Slightly more lucid, Wendell reminded Roya.
"Be careful, the Sharkwing airship and steam-powered flying armor are mixed in with the mica swarm and are approaching us from two directions."
"Where's the Mica Dragon?"
"The Mica Dragon is still circling around, observing."
Luo Ya sighed softly.
"It seems the enemy is even more cunning than I imagined."
This battle cannot be lost, nor can it be won... If we lose, we will return empty-handed; if we win, we will scare away the rare Mica Dragon.
We need to find a way to both engage the Sharkwing Hunters and close the distance to the Mica Dragon.
Two minutes later...
The Wide-Area Silent Ship was the first to charge into the luminous mica swarm!
However, the unmanned Wide-Area Silent did not fire.
Strangely, the mica swarm did not attack the airship.
It didn't even attack the Blue Dragonfly, which was flying behind the Wide Area Silence.
Both sides tacitly maintained the unusual phenomenon of fighting a group of people by arguing but not actually fighting.
In Roya's view, if these luminescent mica were to attack the Blue Dragonfly regardless of the cost, he would only be able to rely on Wendell for his life.
"It seems that the beast tamer hiding behind the scenes doesn't want to break ties with us and wants to leave himself a way out."
This is a good thing, as it means that the Beastmaster's control and scope of control are greatly limited.
Before I capture the Mica Dragon, I don't want to indiscriminately kill Mica and incur a bounty on the Mica Hunting Grounds afterwards.
As soon as he finished speaking, the second-in-command of the Sharkwing Hunters piloted a Tier 2 steam-powered mech and circled around to the other side of the Wide-Area Silence.
It was separated from the blue dragonfly by a floating capsule resembling a giant whale, in a blind spot, about two kilometers away.
The shark-winged airship approached the blue dragonfly from the front.
Blue Dragonfly did not shy away from its challenge.
In Roya's view, once the blue dragonfly dodges, it will enter the range of the steam-powered flying armor. Rather than being attacked from both sides, it is better to face the enemy head directly and try to find room to maneuver.
The luminescent mica around them dispersed and swarmed after the Wide Area Silence.
The Blue Dragonfly and the Sharkwing airship quietly passed each other.
They are only a hundred meters apart...
On the deck of the Sharkwing airship.
The middle-aged man, his hands hidden in a wide black robe, was secretly forming hand seals before the airship and the ornithopter passed each other.
Extraordinary abilities, activate!
In an instant, the middle-aged man was overcome with bloodlust.
The blood energy spread rapidly until it formed a spherical blood energy shield with a radius of about 300 meters.
The Blue Dragonfly was enclosed within it...
The attack range of extraordinary abilities varies from tens of meters to thousands of meters, depending on the level, type of ability, and individual physique.
Even Wendell couldn't have predicted that a second-tier superhuman's ability range would reach three hundred meters!
She quickly waved her iron hand, forcefully blowing the blue dragonfly out of the area shrouded in blood energy.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Beneath the wide black robe, the man plunged one hand into his left chest and forcefully crushed his heart!
He screamed in agony, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, veins bulging on his forehead!
at the same time--
Wendell's heart instantly suffered the same damage.
Luo Ya also felt a momentary pang of fear...
But the person is still alive and unharmed.
He quickly turned his head to look at the passenger seat.
Wendell was clutching his snow-white chest.
Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and the golden light in his eyes quickly dimmed.
In the blink of an eye, faint black patterns had appeared in his eyes...
Luo Ya sensed something was wrong and quickly shouted:
"Wendel, wake up!"
Wendell was pale and struggled to speak.
"He is a second-tier transcendent being with the assistance of third-tier beast blood. His transcendent ability is synchronous damage, but he can only target one person within a range of several hundred meters where his blood energy sweeps."
He crushed his own heart and chose me...
I need to rest now. Please wake me up in ten minutes!
Luo Ya frowned, his back drenched in cold sweat.
This is an extreme one-for-one trade... no, the enemy has several backup beast hearts inside his body!
If the enemy is blinded by their own wisdom and chooses to trade one for one with him, his hunter career is over.
Fortunately, the enemy was extremely astute enough to detect Wendell's danger, allowing him to escape unscathed.
This made Luo Ya realize that he should stay away from unfamiliar superhumans as much as possible, and at the same time, he should awaken as soon as possible and withstand the attack.
Right now, he's not worried about Wendell.
Once supernatural abilities are activated, they cannot be directly resisted; one can only avoid them in advance or withstand them with one's body and abilities.
Comparatively speaking, a second-tier extraordinary ability applied to a fifth-tier extraordinary individual will only cause one-eighth of the same damage.
Even with the blood energy boost from a Tier 3 Beast Heart, the damage is at most only a quarter of that from a Shattered Heart.
In his view, Wendell's need to rest was not to restore his heart, but to suppress another part of himself within him.
Wendell leaned back in the passenger seat, closed his eyes tightly, and his bloodless, frosty lips still managed to squeeze out a few words.
"I'm sorry, I'll have to put up with this alone again..."
Roya had anticipated this.
As long as Wendell doesn't lose control, it's already a pleasant surprise that he's saved his life; we can't expect too much.
He smiled gently and patted Wendell on the iron shoulder.
"Sleep peacefully. If you don't sleep, you'll scare the Mica Dragon."
"Perfect timing, the next scene is also unsuitable for a woman with obsessive-compulsive disorder to witness."
It's only ten minutes; Roya has a million ways to get through it.
The Blue Dragonfly and the Sharkwing airship quickly separated and immediately launched a signal flare toward the Wide Area Silence on the other side.
The signal flare exploded with a bang directly in front of the Wide Area Silence!
The differential engine's preset program then starts...
The exhaust pipe at the tail of the Wide-Area Silence instantly sprayed out a ribbon of color composed of fragments of mica flesh, digestive juices, excrement, and fluorescent liquid.
Dragging its colorful mica carcass along the way, it paraded through the city amidst the endless mica formations.
