nThe fine yellow sand that blew past his face while hiding behind the sand dune had imbued Max with a sense of déjà vu.

n‘T-This…’

n‘This feels like an FPS game!’

nBack when he was still a human, Max played a lot of shooting games.

nThe ones that were developed properly would allow their players to shoot through walls.

n“Wall-penetrating bullets… Oh no, this is bad!”

nMax reacted hastily. Although the sand dune would obscure his opponent’s vision, it was incapable of blocking the ballista’s shot!

nHe was certain that the adventurer was already aiming at the sand dune, and they were raring to kill both of them in a single strike!

n“Duck!”

nMax slid down the sand dune and pressed Mia’s head down at the same time.

nWhoosh —

nA crossbow bolt flew over their heads and shattered the sand dune, sending fine sand flying.

n“That was close…”

nMax saw that half of the sand dune had been cut off. Had he reacted one second later, his head would have already disappeared.

nSuddenly, an idea came to Max’s mind.

nHe cleared his throat and deliberately let out two pained, but different cries.

n“Caw!”

n“Aaaoo!”

n…

nJust as Carvella was about to load the next bolt, she heard two screams from behind the sand dune.

n“Oh? I managed to hit both of them?”

nShe was well aware of her ballista’s power. Even if there were ten Dragon Hatchlings stacked together, her ballista was capable of turning all of them into a kebab.

nAs such, she was not surprised that she had managed to injure both dragons.

nCarvella was extremely happy. A single Dragon-vanquishing Bolt had only cost a dozen or so gold coins, but the corpses of two Dragon Hatchlings was enough to turn her life around!

nMoreover, the stronger of the two Dragon Hatchlings had also caught Carvella’s attention since early on.

nThis was the first time she had ever seen a dragon, much less a Dragon Hatchling, use such a tactic.

nAfter all, dragons were proud creatures. Finding cover was considered as a sin for them.

nAt this moment, there was only one thought in Carvella’s mind, which was to quickly inspect the two Dragon Hatchling’s bodies to determine whether there was any difference between them.

nWith a cavalry saber in hand, Carvella slowly approached the sand dune from the side.

n…

nAfter narrowly escaping death, Max secretly stuck out half of his head to observe the situation outside.

nSure enough, the adventurer was fooled and thought that they had been shot dead.

nThe adventurer was not on high alert at the moment, and she had left behind her ballista.

nEven when compared to Dragon Hatchlings, a human’s body was extremely frail. Even the most powerful warrior was useless against a Dragon Hatchling’s dragon breath.

nIn a sense, Max had created an opportunity for them.

nHowever, he had only one chance.

nAfter all, adventurers who dared to challenge dragons were most likely battle-hardened veterans.

nAlthough there were more humans than dragons, the reason behind their numbers was due to their strong reproductive ability. When humans fought against one another, it was no more gentler than when fighting dragons!

nEspecially in this dangerous fantasy world, the humans who overestimated themselves had long disappeared from this world. Those who were left behind were definitely capable individuals!

nThis was something that Max, who had been a human for 18 years, was certain about.

nShould he miss his strike, the cunning adventurer would definitely return to their ballista quickly and fire it continuously.

nHowever, if he could manage to land his dragon breath on the adventurer, they could then escape from danger.

nThere was a problem with this plan though, and it was his dragon breath. Unfortunately, he had poor aptitude for magic, and as a result, he doubted that his Lightning Breath was capable of killing the adventurer.

n‘What about Mia’s then?’

n‘In terms of strength, her dragon breath could annihilate a group of elephants in a single shot, much less a human.’

nHowever, upon recalling Mia’s terrible accuracy, he immediately gave up.

nMia did not know what had happened. She also imitated Max and sighed.

n“Sigh.”

n“Sigh.”

nBehind the sand dune, two Dragon Hatchlings sighed. One was struggling to survive, and the other thought that it was cool to imitate her brother.

n“Sister, don’t move. Close your eyes.”

nFortunately, Max had yet another bright idea. He asked Mia to close her eyes, and Mia obediently did as he said.

nThen, Max went behind MIA and stretched out his front claws to hold Mia’s little head.

nSince he was incapable of firing a useful dragon breath, and Mia had poor accuracy…

nHis idea was to help Mia target!

nHad the internet existed in this fantasy world, Max would definitely have started a thread upon returning home.

n“Discussion Using my sister as a rocket launcher!”

nBack to reality…

nAt this moment, Max calmed down his breathing while adjusting Mia’s head to locate an appropriate angle.

nMax planned to use Mia’s dragon breath to blow the adventurer into charred meat the moment she appeared in his field of vision!

n“Sister, get ready. When I say ‘fire’, unleash your Lightning Breath.”

n“O-Okay.”

nMia answered timidly.

nShe did not know what she was doing. As such, she felt slightly embarrassed.

nAfter all, even after going through all of her ancestors’ memories, Mia had not found any similar actions. None of her ancestors have ever carried out this action before.

nHowever, since it was her brother’s orders, she obeyed them.

nMia had never forgotten Max’s help in breaking her eggshell.

nSuch an act was considered taboo for dragons. It was only right and proper for the weak to suffocate to death within their eggs.

nMoreover, the moment Mia took her first breath of fresh air, she felt no other emotion than the joy of being alive.

nPerhaps her pride as a dragon was already shattered by her brother at that time.

n“Get ready…”

nMax held his breath and tried hard to steady his claws.

nAs an experienced FPS gamer, Max knew that if he were to fire his shot after the enemy appeared, it would be too late.

nHe needed to fire a few seconds before the enemy’s appearance to achieve the greatest results.

n“3…”

nMax remembered the adventurer’s walking speed. Unless she had abruptly changed her pacing, she would fall under his crosshairs within 3 seconds.

n“2…”

nUnless something unexpected were to occur, this would be Max’s first time killing a human throughout his two lives.

nEver since he discovered that he had wings and could speak the language of dragons, Max knew that this day would come sooner or later.

n“1…”

nHowever, he did not feel any reluctance in his heart. It did not matter if he was a human in his previous life! It did not matter if she was a fellow countryman! Right now, he only wanted to live! He wanted to bring his sister back home!
