Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 124 Both sides suffer losses
A day later, the Black Pearl docked at the ruined coast. Jack left Nedro to guard the ship, and then took Heavy Fist, Luden and others with him, followed Issel ashore, and headed straight for Desolate Mountain.

After several days of trekking, the group finally arrived at the foot of the desolate mountain.

Iser introduced the basic situation of Desolate Mountain, "Desolate Mountain is a circular mountain, surrounded by tall bodies and a valley in the middle. If you can't fly in, you can only climb the steep mountain."

Everyone looked at the steep mountain and their faces turned grim.

But Jack took out a lot of parachutes and said, "Don't be afraid. Put on the parachutes. If you fall from above, the parachutes can save your life."

Then he took out a long rope and tied one end of the rope around his waist.

"I'll climb first. Once we get to the top, I'll tie the rope and you can use it to climb up."

Rock climbing is an extreme sport. Without training, ordinary people cannot do it. However, it is not difficult for the crew. It's just that they don't know how to climb. If they run out of energy, they will probably fall down and waste their precious parachutes.

Jack is different. With the blood of the red dragon, the blessing of the Tidestone and the Shield of Aggramar, he can climb up quickly. If there is no climbing point, he can also use Quel'nath to create a groove to gain leverage.

Issel originally wanted to climb first, but after seeing Jack take out Quellnas, she gave up the idea. Falling from a high altitude, she could turn into a black panther, greatly reducing the damage. Since Jack had a way to climb up, she didn't try to be brave.

Jack was very agile and kept jumping on the rocks. When he couldn't climb over the rocks, he used Quellnas and reached the top of the mountain in less than an hour.

After tying the rope to a large rock, Jack did not wait for others to come up, but went ahead to find a way.

Because they had to climb the mountain, they had to abandon their supplies. They brought very little dry food, and if they couldn't find the blue dragon's lair within five days, they could only hunt in the mountains to get food.

If that happens, there is a high probability that the blue dragon will discover it. Therefore, time must be saved.

Soon, he found a road leading down the mountain. Just as he was about to go back, he suddenly saw a huge stone sculpture in the valley ahead, which was a huge dragon with its wings spread high.

Jack was stunned, but he quickly realized that such a huge stone sculpture was obviously not something that a mortal could accomplish. It must have been created by the blue dragon using magic when he was bored.

It seems that the blue dragon's lair is really here.

Thinking of this, he immediately returned to the top of the mountain. At this time, almost everyone had come up, and Jack immediately led them down the mountain.

Seeing the giant dragon statue, everyone's morale was boosted. When going down the mountain, they almost jogged all the way and rushed straight to the giant dragon stone sculpture.

When they got closer, they found that the dragon stone sculpture was almost floating in the air. This further confirmed Jack's guess that it was impossible to complete the sculpture without magic.

"Everyone separate and search."

Everyone immediately dispersed and looked around to see if there was any large cave.

Soon, someone discovered a large cave in the nearby mountains. However, after entering, everyone was disappointed. There was no treasure at all except for traces of a giant dragon living inside.

"Did the goblins get there first?"

No one doubted the existence of the blue dragon treasure, and they all subconsciously thought that it had been taken away by the goblins.

Jack was speechless. Apart from the traces of the blue dragon, there were no other traces in the dragon's cave. The goblins had never been there.

These guys are obviously blinded by greed and must be withdrawn from the dragon's lair first.

"Let's go check somewhere else. Maybe the blue dragon has other nests."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they quickly walked out of the dragon cave and continued to search deep into the valley. Desolate Mountain was not a circular mountain, but two circular mountains. They were connected by a mountain path, forming a gourd-shaped valley.

The crater where they were located was relatively small, and the other crater was at least twice as large. As soon as they came out of the mountain path, they heard the sound of violent wind and the sound of muskets.

"hidden!"

Jack shouted and hid behind a huge rock. He stuck his head out and looked across the valley through the telescope.

In the valley, a blue dragon was floating in the air, constantly emitting dragon breath downwards. The enemies fighting the blue dragon on the ground were the goblins.

The leader was Larkin. After escaping last time, Larkin knew that Jack would come looking for him soon. So he specifically asked the company's top management to bring people to search for the Blue Dragon treasure. In order to complete the task, Larkin brought a lot of pistols.

These pistols were modified from dwarven pistols and mass-produced by goblin engineers. The main reason they were not mass-produced was that they had serious quality problems and always exploded. Only recently, a technological breakthrough was made, allowing them to be mass-produced.

Larkin formed a group of goblin musketeers in an attempt to defeat the blue dragon with his pistols.

However, the blue dragon was too powerful and the pistol could do no harm to it.

Fortunately, Larkin had another plan. He waved at the sawmill and said, "Throw the bomb."

The goblins immediately controlled the lumberjacks, grabbed the bombs with their claws, and threw them at the blue dragon.

The blue dragon was caught off guard and was immediately dizzy from the explosion.

Venture capital companies also have engineering masters who have mastered the formula for high-powered gunpowder. These engineering masters strictly keep the formula secret and after making bombs, they are purchased by venture capital companies at high prices.

The bombs just thrown were made of high-explosive gunpowder, yet they were unable to cause fatal damage to the blue dragon.

This made Larkin somewhat worried, but also made him more determined.

"Go ahead and blow it up!"

The goblin demolishers immediately rushed towards the blue dragon. The blue dragon shook its head and suddenly breathed out a breath of dragon at the goblin demolishers.

"Boom boom boom——"

Most of the goblin demolitionists were burned to death by the dragon's breath, and the bombs they carried were also detonated by the dragon's breath.

But there were still some that slipped through the net and approached the blue dragon. The goblins fearlessly threw themselves under the blue dragon and immediately detonated the bomb.

"Boom boom boom——"

The bomb exploded in the Blue Dragon's abdomen, where its defense was weakest, causing a lot of damage to it. Blood gushed out like a geyser. If the Blue Dragon hadn't reacted in time and stopped the bleeding as quickly as possible, it's likely that it would have died soon from blood loss.

The blue dragon roared angrily, looked at the goblins coldly, flapped its wings violently, and countless arcane missiles shot over.

Neither the goblins nor the timber cutters could withstand the attack of the arcane missiles. The arcane missiles easily penetrated the iron plates of the timber cutters and destroyed their internal structures. A large number of goblins were killed, and the goblins who survived by chance were filled with fear.

Both sides suffered heavy losses, and it can be said that both sides suffered losses.
