Hunting Cards! Star Dragon

Sparks exploded from the blade and splashed to Xingjian's feet, making him feel an unprecedented burning sensation.

"..."

I hate men second, and dragons first.

Click me?

Chapter 8: September suffered three consecutive bouts of guilt

Late at night, Xingjian lay alone in the workshop, on the mattress that Jiuyue had temporarily laid out, thinking about his future.

It seems that not all humans have the same favorable impression of dragons as Erica does.

Rather, most humans hate dragons.

Throughout history, humans and dragons have been fighting each other and competing for territory without stopping for a moment.

Just as September said, countless humans have died at the hands of dragons.

It is natural to feel hatred.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, my identity as a dragon must not be exposed in the future and must be hidden with all my strength.

But even if you try hard to hide it, as long as you are together day and night, clues will definitely be revealed from the traces.

For example, as an ancient dragon with endless lifespan, Xingjian's appearance and body will not age over time like humans.

If you live in one place for too long, humans will discover it.

Five years, every five years you have to change the place and live with a different identity.

Xingjian set standards for himself.

I don’t know how long I can live in this house in September.

As for Yunxue Village, the food is delicious, but it is not what Xingjian is pursuing.

What Xingjian wants to know is the secret of human power today.

But Yunxue Village does not seem to be that powerful.

Even the card that serves as the store's treasure is only the lv18 Wind and Snow Wolf.

The difference between these cards and the ones Erica had used before the Star Meeting was as huge as heaven and earth.

You must look for it in larger towns with more people gathered.

Of course, even if he wanted to leave, Xingjian still had things he had to finish.

For example, he promised Liuli that he would let her use her dragon claws to make a card tomorrow.

Then I have to find a chance tonight to take off my nails, and in the form of a dragon.

After listening to the sounds from the next room and confirming that Jiu Yue's breathing was steady and she was sound asleep, Xing Jian quietly pushed the door open and left.

After deciding to hide my dragon identity with all my strength, I shouldn't have used this dragon claw as material.

But Xingjian couldn't help but be curious about what kind of skills his dragon claw would have if it was made into a card.

Satisfy curiosity that hasn't arisen in thousands of years, even if it means taking some risks.

After three months, when you restore your dragon form, you must ensure that you are sufficiently concealed.

It definitely can't be done in the village. Even if it leaves the village, with the size of the Star Destroyer after it fully recovers its dragon form, it will be easy for people to witness it outside the village.

"Go up the mountain!"

In the end, Xingjian made this decision.

Going up the mountain is not just an ordinary mountain, but a snow-capped mountain.

The temperature in the snow-capped mountains of the extremely cold region is unbearable for humans even during the day, let alone late at night when the sun has faded.

It's a good place to transform.

Xingjian lightly avoided the napping security guard and climbed the snow-capped mountain alone in the middle of the night.

Of course, there is no need to climb to the top of the mountain. After all, transforming at the top of the mountain will attract more attention.

After finding a spot halfway up the mountain, Xingjian took off all his clothes and untied the restraints.

Being naked in an extremely cold place is a suicidal act for humans, but for Xingjian, it has no effect.

Boiling dragon blood is like this.

After a long time, it regained its Star Destroyer form, and its beautiful star dragon wings, reflecting the ice and moonlight, gradually stretched out on the snow-capped mountains.

As the size increased, even the field of vision became much wider. In comparison, Xingjian once again felt the weakness of the human body.

Not only the vision, but also the hearing range of the dragon form has become extremely vast.

Especially at high altitudes like snow-capped mountains.

Xingjian heard an unusual commotion in the distance.

The dragon roared, flapped its wings, and scratched the ground with its claws.

"Dragons?"

The sound sources are too complex and dense, and their number is difficult to estimate.

It is rare to see so many dragons gathering together, especially at night.

Xingjian suddenly remembered what was mentioned in Erica's diary.

"This is the Night Parade of a Hundred Dragons?"

The collective migration behavior of a group of dragons after sensing some kind of huge threat.

Xingjian didn't sense the presence of the unknown threat that was powerful enough to drive away the dragons.

As for whether the migrating dragons from afar will attack Yunxue Village?

Although Xingjian heard the dragons making a commotion on the snowy mountains near Yunxue Village, the dragons were actually hundreds of miles away from Yunxue Village, and their route was unclear.

Whether Yunxue Village will be attacked or not is a matter that can only be left to fate.

But there is no doubt that if hundreds of dragons really trampled through Yunxue Village, humans would have no room to resist and the entire village would be destroyed.

Regardless, that is something that humans have to consider for themselves.

The most urgent thing is to take off your dragon claws first.

Only the tip of the claw needs to be used.

It sounds simple, but it is quite difficult to do in practice.

After all, Erica's full-strength slash in armed mode had barely broken the claw tip.

If you want to break apart again now, you have to be cruel to yourself.

The dragon's breath condenses and the star dragon roars.

A brilliant beam of light shot out from the vast snow-capped mountains towards the endless sky. The energy it contained was enough to burn up the entire Yunxue Village if it were fired at the ground.

The claw tip fell off smoothly, hiss, it still hurt a little.

This should be enough material for Liuli.

“Oh my god——!”

Xingjian heard the strange cry again.

This time the distance was not far, the source of the sound was near the snow-capped mountains.

Exposed?

It didn't matter. Xing Jian had gone up the snowy mountain precisely to prevent this kind of situation.

The late night environment, coupled with the heavy snow covering the view, made it impossible for humans to see the whole picture even if they could see themselves.

After transforming back into a human form and putting on clothes, Xingjian carefully put away the fresh fragments of his claw tips.

It took too long to remove the dragon claw. If we don’t go back now, it will be dawn.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down. Xingjian still didn't have time and had to rush back before dawn.

After waking up, September looked at the empty bed in the workshop with sleepy eyes, and her brain tried hard to recall some memories.

"Strange, I didn't seem to chase him away last night... Did he leave on his own?"

Thinking of this possibility, for some reason, Jiu Yue felt a little lost.

Maybe my attitude yesterday was really bad.

It seemed like it snowed heavily last night.

Nothing will happen to him, right?

The complex inner emotions gradually changed from guilt to worry. Jiu Yue quickly changed her clothes and prepared to go to the village to search immediately.

As a result, when I was halfway through changing my clothes, the door of the workshop was opened.

Outside the door, Xing Jian had snow falling on her head and frost on her shoulders. Even her long silver eyelashes were dotted with icicles, making her look extremely pitiful.

This appearance even made Jiu Yue ignore the fact that she was exposed at the moment.

"Where were you last night?"

Xingjian told the reason he had prepared in advance.

"I felt like you hated me, so I left."

Guilt strikes!

September HP-20

"Then why are you back?"

"It's really cold outside."

Guilt strikes!

September HP-30

"Didn't I tell you that you don't have to leave?"

"You said before that you would be responsible for me. But didn't you kick me out in the end?"

Guilt strikes!

September – KO!

"Stop, stop talking!" Jiu Yue covered her conscience.

She lit the fire, raised the temperature in the room, melted the ice and snow on Xingjian's body, and wiped his head dry with a towel. Jiuyue felt like she had suddenly become an older sister.

Coming back to his senses from the guilt, Jiu Yue realized that when Xing saw him, he had some kind of white-cutting-black attribute.

"I told you, if you have nowhere else to stay, you can stay here for now. But you have to accompany me on my hunting trip today."

“Is this also assisting work?”

"Yes, if we don't work, we won't have money to eat."

Jiuyue, who treated Xingjian like a girl and spent money lavishly yesterday, now has no money left in his pocket.

"You have to eat every day?"

"Of course, three meals a day."

“(?°?°?)Three meals!”

New content added to Hoshimi's Diary: "Human food is not only delicious, but also eaten three times a day!"

What a hard life I had lived before.

Chapter 9: Hunter Test

"Hahaha!"

A three-part, hearty laugh that is both bold and rhythmic.
