Pirate: My Piltover technology is far ahead!

Chapter 10 Who is the Hunter? Who is the Prey?

The energy core has now been modified, and the device will be able to operate stably once the outer framework is completed. This will only require a short wait.

Upon hearing the news, the people in the canyon quickened their pace even further. Having already spotted the finish line, they began their final sprint.

Ivankov and Ginny did not cancel their original plan. In order to prevent any accidents from happening in this last moment, they planned to try to steal the Devil Fruit that was being offered as a prize while the pirates rushed in.

But before that, they have to participate in a new hunt, but this time, the roles of hunter and prey have been reversed.

"Oran, why don't you go and rest? We can handle the rest."

Modifying the energy core wasn't physically demanding, but it was extremely energy-consuming. Kate was already fast asleep, having reached her limit as she was responsible for maintaining the stability of the electric field.

Although Oran seems perfectly fine now, Xiong and the others are a little worried.

"My physical condition is special; not sleeping for a few days won't affect me, but if I fall asleep now, I'm not sure when I'll wake up. Have you all arranged everything I asked you to do?"

"Yes, everything has been arranged."

Seeing that Oran's attitude was very firm, Xiong and the others did not say anything more. Their brief time together had already made them understand some of Oran's personality. Since it was no use to persuade him once, there was no point in persuading him again.

"Then there's no problem. Proceed as planned. But before that, there are a few things I need to say."

Oran walked to a platform protruding from the rock face, looked at the people still working hard, picked up a makeshift megaphone, and said:

"As you all probably already know, a Celestial Dragon has approached this place."

You are all very lucky; at least no one has discovered this place in the past few days. However, in the past, the Celestial Dragons wantonly destroyed your homes and slaughtered your relatives and friends on your land, all for their own amusement!

Your good luck today doesn't mean you'll be lucky in the future. I have a way to get you out of here today, but who can guarantee they won't encounter this again?

Is it so hard to resist?

You've already lost everything, and these guys are going to take away what little life you have left. In this situation, aren't you afraid to take a chance?

"They've got a knife to your throats, and you still want to reason with them?!"

It's not surprising that the people below temporarily stopped what they were doing, but no one responded.

If a few words could inspire people to rebel, the rule of the Heavenly Dragons wouldn't have lasted so long.

Even if you replaced it with Oden's Soul Weapon, the effect would be diminished.

As long as they still possess the aura of the Celestial Dragons, even if they are stranded on a deserted island, few people would dare to lay a hand on them.

"Of course, I'm not telling you to attack the Red Earth Continent; that would be suicide. But if you don't seize the opportunity when it's presented to you, that would be utter weakness. Right now, there's a killer right outside!"

"Is there anyone willing to seek revenge?!"

Silence remained the majority, but this time, a few people stood up. Most of them were of slave origin, and a few were locals whose relatives had died outside. Compared to the total number of people, they were few and far between, but this was the beginning.

As long as the myth of the Celestial Dragons is broken and their blood is used as nourishment, the seed will eventually take root and sprout.

"Reporting to Saint Eradin! Saint Gringu has ordered everyone to return to their base immediately; the game is temporarily suspended."

"That Greengrass, does he really think he's the boss? Does the Figarando family think they can order me around? If I ran for office, his position would be mine."

A man dressed in a black suit, looking like a secret agent, knelt before a masked man, holding a jewel-encrusted Den Den Mushi (snail phone), his tone full of respect.

There were several other people dressed similarly around, but no Marines were present. This was because it was a Celestial Dragon hunt, and they only needed to bring some scorekeepers and obedient hunting dogs to find their prey.

Even if the navy wanted to be their dog, they might not be able to get the job.

"Eladin Saint, the phone call said pirates are approaching this area, so..."

The agent did not respond to Erladin's words. It was nothing for the Celestial Dragons to say about their affairs; if he interrupted, he might be executed on the spot.

"A bunch of useless trash! Are those marines just there to eat? They can't even do this simple thing right, what use are they!"

"You're right, then let's do it now."

"I'll go back immediately after searching this area. I'm still a little short on points. Is Greengu doing this because he's afraid I'll surpass him?"

"You useless lot, get back to finding my prey! Remember, you're not allowed to touch my prey, or I'll execute you all!"

"yes!"

Although Erladin was unwilling to admit it, he still obeyed Gringu's arrangement and prepared to go back. There are different ranks among the Celestial Dragons, and Gringu is undoubtedly a leader now.

It's one thing to complain verbally, but if you ignore the other party, Erladin will also be punished by the Celestial Dragons.

Erladin hadn't encountered any high-scoring prey in the past few days, which put him in a bad mood. If his score was too low, he would be ridiculed by his family when he returned.

Just as he was thinking about this, Lady Luck seemed to smile upon him.

"Eladin! A major discovery! It's that SR-rank slave from the Bakania tribe!"

Kuma still willingly acted as bait, and the Celestial Dragons' definition of him made him the person most likely to attract their attention.

"Hurry and chase after him! If you lose him, you can use your head as a substitute!"

Ordinary people think that the Celestial Dragons are invincible, and similarly, the Celestial Dragons have a kind of confidence that no one dares to oppose them. Erladin never imagined that anyone would dare to set up a trap for the Celestial Dragons on the island.

In his eyes, the bear was nothing more than a rabbit worth 10,000 points.

Using their familiarity with the surrounding terrain, the bear quickly led them into a nearby canyon, with Erladin following closely behind, led by his loyal dog.

Looking at the bear standing motionless at the end, he felt that the bear had nowhere to escape.

"Kid, stop running. Let me kill you quickly and painlessly, so you can suffer less."

Because a one-hit kill would earn extra points, Erladin had no intention of torturing the bear. However, the bear ignored him and disappeared again after turning around.

This time, without Erladin giving any instructions, the agents beside him immediately gave chase. They were unaware that mechanical lotus flowers had quietly bloomed among the fallen leaves beneath their feet.

Click!

An agent stepped on a lotus flower. As the trigger was activated, the lotus flower, which had spread out, quickly closed up like a bear trap, firmly imprisoning the agent. At the base of the lotus flower, purple energy began to gather.
