Doomsday: I Can Get a Hint

Chapter 457 - 277: Arrow Fired at the Cyan Dragon

In the unnamed village

A group of people gathered around a fire pit, roasting by the fire and warming themselves.

Hot water was boiling above the fire, bubbling with steam.

Xu Xiang and Chen Lingxue were with the scout team, marking the general area of the Fire-Swallowing Bird on the map, preparing to search.

Wang Hao leaned against the wall, eating roasted corn by himself.

This time, he did not bring Xiaoyueyue.

The weather was too cold, and they still needed to search in the mountains.

Bringing Xiaoyueyue wasn’t really necessary.

If needed, he could summon Xiaoyueyue with a signal arrow.

"Wang Hao!"

Chen Lingxue came over and handed him a cup of hot milk.

"Thank you!"

A faint smile appeared on Wang Hao’s face.

"You’re angry at me."

Chen Lingxue said softly.

Wang Hao remained silent, drinking the hot milk from his cup.

"You know, I’m also helpless, he’s my father after all, I can’t go against him too much.

I..."

Before Chen Lingxue could finish her sentence, Wang Hao stopped her with a gesture.

"There’s no need for too much explanation, I understand."

Wang Hao said indifferently.

His parents died early, and his only grandparent had also passed, so often he just needed to consider himself.

But Chen Lingxue was different; she had her own family.

In novels, the type of love that leads to breaking with family, even severing ties, is very rare in real life.

Often, couples in love for five or six years break up just because of a dowry dispute, becoming complete strangers.

Few would go so far as to oppose parents who raised them for twenty to thirty years for someone they’ve known for a few years.

Especially when Wang Hao and Chen Lingxue weren’t really together yet; their feelings for each other were quite subtle.

There was just a mutual affection.

"Let everything take its course."

Wang Hao patted Chen Lingxue on the shoulder with a friendly smile:

"No matter what, we’re old classmates, good friends."

Chen Lingxue’s gaze became complicated.

Wang Hao’s emotions were so steady, so carefree, she should have been happy.

But for some reason, she wasn’t happy at all.

Instead, she felt a great sense of loss.

Was she so insignificant in Wang Hao’s heart?

"Let’s get going."

Xu Xiang glanced at his watch and stood up:

"Brother Hao, Lingxue, we’ve marked the general area. To avoid delays, let’s set off now."

"Let’s go."

The three left the house.

The biting cold wind, however, did not affect the three much.

Xu Xiang had the Cyan Dragon superpower, a robust physique. Wang Hao, with Spiritual Power protecting him and his body strengthened multiple times, wasn’t impacted by the cold either.

And Chen Lingxue, with her Ice Phoenix superpower, found the cold as comfortable as spring warmth.

The three moved swiftly across the snow, charging ahead.

Xu Xiang didn’t mind; he just wanted to eat meat. The Fire-Swallowing Bird’s death meant more food for him without fighting.

However, Wang Hao and Chen Lingxue wanted it alive.

Wang Hao needed Spiritual Power, Chen Lingxue wanted organs.

As they ran, Xu Xiang suddenly transformed into a Cyan Dragon, soared into the sky to scout, and led the way for the two.

"Huh? A dragon?"

In the deep mountains, a group of people stopped and looked towards the Cyan Dragon in the sky.

"It should be that person with the Cyan Dragon superpower, named Xu Xiang."

A woman said softly.

"Judging by this, the small group discovered earlier should be from the Settlement Camp."

A man spoke in a deep voice.

"An injured spiritual beast is highly valuable; no one would want to miss out on it."

"What should we do?"

"After all, this is his territory, it’s best not to make the relations too tense, kill it."

The man said calmly.

The crowd: ???

The man removed the large bow from his back.

The bow was bright silver, about ten feet long, and its string was as thick as a thumb.

The bow was carved with divine beast patterns, the arrow shaft was equipped with a metal stand and a Dueling Bell.

He took an arrow from his quiver.

The arrow was dark gold, densely engraved with many patterns and runes.

"Boss, isn’t this a bit too much?"

The woman beside him furrowed her brow.

"I’ve laid this plan for so long, paid a huge price, and finally, taking advantage of the Fire-Swallowing Bird’s awakening, severely injured it, then used gargoyles to chase and deplete its power.

It’s been cornered with great difficulty, and I won’t allow others to take a share."

The man drew the bow like a full moon, with Spiritual Qi surging towards him:

"Killing Xu Xiang would be best, if severely injured, it will only be more troublesome later."

"Hmm?"

Wang Hao, running ahead, suddenly stopped.

He looked up towards the mountains.

"What’s wrong?"

Chen Lingxue also stopped, asking curiously.

Wang Hao didn’t answer, his brows tightly knitted.

He sensed powerful Spiritual Power fluctuations.

At this moment, the man was enveloped by terrifying Spiritual Power.

"Die!"

Fully charged, he released the arrow from his hand.

The bowstring exploded like the Milky Way, the arrow shone bright like moonlight, and the sound shook the skies.

The arrow, like a laser, flew toward the Cyan Dragon still in flight.

"Damn! Watch out."

Wang Hao tossed his dagger.

"Clang!"

The dagger clashed with the arrow, but Wang Hao threw it impulsively.

There was no time to gather strength.

As soon as it struck, it was deflected.

"Roar!"
