Chapter 8: Pirate Attack

While Ansair was sleeping, a pirate ship quietly approached Dragons Island.

A giant iron ship was sailing on the sea with several turrets with intricate magic lines mounted on the ship's strings.

On the pirate ship, a muscular middle-aged man in heavy armor with a broad sword was holding binoculars, looking at Dragons Island from a distance.

He put down the binoculars and looked at the map in his hand. There was no sign of Dragons Island on the map.

The man rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, and then ordered to his subordinates: "Stop the boat!"

Although the pirate ship is equipped with a powerful magic turret, he still decides to be careful when facing an unknown place.

For pirates sailing at sea, an island that is not on the map either has amazing wealth or amazing danger.

"Captain, let me take the lead to explore the way."

Beside the brawny man, a young man in his twenties with clean clothes offered to volunteer. He looked at Dragons Island with a flash of fire in his eyes.

The captain glanced at the man, he is a bronze-ranked swordsman he had recruited on the seashore before.

At a young age, he has the strength of a bronze level, but instead of seeking to work under the nobles, he followed them as a pirate.

It's nothing more than trying to find some opportunities at the sea.

Young people are always arrogant and do not know how to be down-to-earth. They are always superstitious about seeking wealth and opportunities but they do not know how many pirates die on deserted islands every year.

Anyway, as a captain, this kid is strong enough, so it's better to put him on a deserted island to suppress him.

Having made up his mind, the captain ordered two nimble sailors to let the young swordsman take the lead in opening up the way.

The pirate ship stopped a kilometer or two away from Dragons Island, and a small wooden boat left the pirate ship as it headed toward Dragons Island at high speed.

The strength of the young swordsman is extraordinary, and the two sailors are veterans who had experienced many battles. Except for huge ferocious species and wild beasts living in groups, there is no beast in the forest that can pose a threat to them.

In a few days, their footprints almost covered the entire Dragons Island.

Although no treasure was found, fortunately, no great danger was encountered.

After Ansair hunted them for many years, the small ethnic group on Dragons Island has not had much of an influence.

But many powerful and aggressive giant beasts were taken by him as a meal, and the rest of the ferocious species became extra cautious, for fear that if they accidentally provoke Ansair, they would lose their lives.

Therefore, even though many dire species could smell the breath of the three of them, they were too lazy to chase after such a fast-running creature that couldn't even get between their teeth.

The two sailors were originally wage earners, and even if they had treasures, they were collected anyways. If there were no danger, everything would be fine.

Although the young swordsman saw some powerful beasts, he didn't feel threatened on the deserted island, so he couldn't help feeling proud.

On the other hand, he was really disappointed that no treasure was found.

Finally, they found the gate of the dragon's nest.

Because the breath of a Golden Dragon is coercive to other species, there are no animals around the lair, which instinctively makes the three of them feel intimidated.

The sailor suggested: "My lord, let's go back to the ship and tell the captain what we found, and wait for the captain to open the gate. I'm worried about the danger we'll encounter."

Another sailor quickly nodded and agreed: "Yes, my lord, there are no wild animals around here. I am afraid there is something dangerous inside, maybe there is a real dragon."

Speaking of the dragon, there was a look of fear in his eyes.

In the legends of pirates, there are often giant dragons who build nests and lay eggs on small overseas islands.

Unless it was a legendary pirate group, once ordinary pirates encountered a powerful dragon, they would be wiped out instantly.

However, if you can escape by chance, you can get a sky-high reward for selling the information as dragons are one of the most valuable species in the world.

The young swordsman ignored the two sailors.

"It's all here, why don't we go in and have a look."

Wealth is always been sought!

The young swordsman reached for the long sword in his waist as he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

The sword was shone, and the thick stone gate was sliced like cutting tofu, and a small hole was revealed in front of them.

The young swordsman took out a white silk scarf from his arms and lovingly wiped the long sword in his hand. There were two flashing purple runes on it.

If there was a magician present, he or she can recognize "sharp" and "cutting" inscriptions, this weapon is obviously a second-class weapon.

"Go." The young swordsman walked into the hall first.

Fearing that they would be cut in half by him, the two sailors gave a wry smile, held the scimitar in their hands, and could only bite their lips as they follow behind.

Walking through the hallway cautiously, without breaking any items, the three of them saw mountains of gold, silver, and jewels.

"There is really a treasure, I'm rich!" The young swordsman looked at the treasure in front of him with a greedy look in his eyes.

His hand reached for the long sword at his waist, thinking about the possibility of killing the two people with him to silence them and monopolize the treasure.

"Aww!"

At this moment, the two Dragon Beasts, which were dozing behind the pile of treasures smelled the intruders, they rushed in front of the three menacingly and screamed.

The three of them were really frightened when they saw the two creatures similar to Golden Dragons who were rushing towards them.

Although the two Dragon Beasts are not fully developed, they are now three meters long.

The young swordsman took a closer look, laughed, and said, "It's just two Dragon Beasts."

He drew out his long sword and waved it lightly, and easily pierced the two Dragon Beasts.

The two Dragon Beasts let out a cry of pain as they fell into a pool of blood.

Those were dragon's blood, he couldn't afford to waste it.

The young swordsman withdrew his sword as he lied on the Dragon Beast's wound and sucked its blood.

The dragon's blood boiled in his body, he felt that his talent seemed to have improved, and his strength, which had not improved for a long time, had the possibility of improvement.

He was overjoyed.

He was originally a down-and-out nobleman, and following these pirates was to find opportunities and improve his talent.

Only by becoming a silver-level swordsman can he have the opportunity to honor his ancestors and obtain a title.

The two sailors swallowed when they saw the dragon's blood, but at the same time, alarm bells were already ringing in their hearts.

"My lord, there is still a Dragon Beast here. It must be the lair of a giant dragon. If it finds out, we will die. Let's run away."

The young swordsman also felt that what they were saying is reasonable, knowing that the treasure here could not be monopolized, he let go of his thought of ​​killing the two of them.

The three of them grabbed a handful of jewels one after another, wanting to leave the dragon's nest first.

At this moment, Elena, who had fallen into a deep sleep, shook off the treasures on her body and stood up from the pile of treasures.

As soon as she woke up, she smelled a strange smell of blood.

Seeing another Dragon Beast coming, the young swordsman was overjoyed. It seemed that a breakthrough was possible, so he rushed up alone.

The two sailors looked at each other, left the young swordsman behind, and ran away.

That is not a Dragon Beast that is a real dragon!

The baby dragon is here so the mother dragon is not far behind!
