Chapter 947: The Inner Kingdom: Traveling To The Capital (2)

(Unedited)

…

"Captain, we are entering the draconian territory… We received some news that an airship has been attacked in this place three days ago. Luckily they were able to escape, but the damage on the ship is huge. Plus they got many wounded passengers at that time. Luckily no casualty was reported…" the captain's assistant standing on the captain's side reported.

"Maintain vigilance… Tell the crew to mount up the defensive turrets now! And I want…" the captain commanded.

With his command, the rest of the people around him immediately executed their actions and became vigilant.

At this time, Shin Jiao has already gone up to the deck of the ship and look through the horizon. From there he could see nothing. He then looks at the starboard side, and on the port side, and at the back, but still, he found nothing.

"Hmm… Why do I still get the feeling that an enemy is watching us…" he thought.

Suddenly, his expression changes… He runs to the edge of the ship's starboard side and then looks down below. From there he could see the endless forest. Then he spotted something…

Inside a deep ravine, a large group of monsters that has a long fleshy snake body and two pairs of large wings are hanging on the walls of the cliff using their two long limbs and sharp claws.

The creature looks like a grayish snake with two pairs of legs with sharp claws.

Then as if commanded by something, the creatures suddenly became agitated. They began to hiss at each other than look at the sky.

From deep within the abyss of the ravine, a long howl suddenly boomed.

This startled the two-legged fleshy flying snake and the large group immediately flew in the air towards the direction of the ship.

On the ship deck, a panic-stricken radar officer of the ship suddenly called out while watching the radar of the ship.

"Captain! We have a big problem! Multiple enemies inbound!" the officer shouted.

When the captain heard this, he frowns and then walks to the radar.

"These creatures are… these are Wrigglings!" the captain exclaimed while looking at the radar.

"Show me the lower camera!"

The screen immediately changes and then showed the hundreds of flying creatures that look like gray snakes.

"If they hit the ship's barrier we will be in trouble! Fire at will! Take them down!" shouted the captain.

The weapons on the ship immediately began firing. Fireballs, ice bolts, and rock spikes are sent flying towards the Wrigglings.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One explosion after another immediately alarmed the passengers.

The announcement has been dispatched beforehand to advise all of the passengers to stay inside their cabins and not come out. Although this was told, many still walked out of their cabin and stayed on the deck. Those people are mostly mages who began casting spells to also defend the ship.

And so the battle against the horde of Wrigglings began.

The barrier was able to withstand the Wrigglings attacks and was fairly safe for the passengers inside. With Shin Jiao's design and technology, one would not worry too much about the danger inside the flying vessel.

So everyone who is watching this heaves a sigh of relief as they heard the announcement on the PA system of the ship.

However, as soon as everyone relaxes, they suddenly heard a loud roaring sound.

This time Shin Jiao turns his gaze to the side of the ship.

"So that's the creature that I am feeling uncomfortable with…" he thought as he zoomed to the creature and saw that it is actually a 20-meters long green dragon.

"That… that is one of the dragons in this territory. But we should not have provoked it, right?" one of the crews muttered while watching the large thing on the horizon.

"No necessarily…" Shin Jiao who is standing on the side said.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"According to dragon's characteristics… these low-level ones would be provoked for 3 reasons only. The first one is if it is attacked directly. The second one is if the creature is about to lay an egg. And the third one is if the creature is being controlled… So if any of these conditions are correct, then this dragon would really attack any ship passing through this area."

After Shin Jiao said that, a voice was suddenly heard coming from behind them.

"Well, we have not attacked any creatures in these parts… and the Dragon did not look pregnant at all. The only reason would be that someone is controlling… it." a middle-man in a white suit said as he walks beside Shin Jiao and looks at the horizon.

"All hands on deck! Prepare for a hard battle!" he shouted.

The crew on the deck immediately scuttles to and fro and went to their positions.

"Young man, it is better for you to go inside the deck of the ship… We will handle this." the captain said with a slight smile on his serious face.

When Shin Jiao heard this, he felt a little bad. Although he has no relation with the crew or any of the passengers, he still feels a bit touched by the captain's gesture.

He nodded his head though and walked inside the cabins.

He would just wait and see what would happen next. His eyes landed on those things that he has already put on the surface of the deck. If the dragon attacks the front of the ship and not the back then there would be no problems as he has already set up an array on the deck.

"This is all I could do for now… It's all up to you guys…" Shin Jiao muttered as he returns to his cabin.

Once inside, the expression of the three inside the room feels a bit gloomy. They have already stopped watching the film from the computer of the guy and are now nervously feeling their surroundings.

"What… What is happening outside?" when Shin Jiao enters Ji Yaolin suddenly asked him with worry-filled eyes.

"What kinds of creatures are attacking the ship?" she added.

Shin Jiao just showed a faint smile.

"There are no worries, the crew would do everything they could to prevent any disaster from happening." He said.

"If the crew really needed, I am willing to help." the young man, Meda Tao suddenly said.

He then slowly takes out a mage wand shaped like a handgun from inside his luggage.

"This is a wand developed by the mage association in Mu city. It's like the ones that the Mystique shop is selling, but this one is handier…" he said with a proud smile on his face.

When the two young ladies heard his words, their eyes look at the exquisite-looking wand on the young man's hand.

"With this, I can help fight against any creatures that those people are fighting… Hehe…" he said proudly.

"You can actually see the creature from here…" Shin Jiao suddenly said while closing his eyes as if contemplating.

He then pointed at the window.

When the three turn their gazes outside the window into the horizon, each of them showed a horrified expression on their face.

This is because they can now see a huge dragon coming towards them.

Roar!!!

The roaring sound echoed throughout the ship shaking every passenger inside every cabin.

"What was that?"

"Look! Look outside! It's a dragon!"

"This is not good… Will we be able to survive this?"

"We should escape now…"

"Escape? Where? This is draconian territory… When caravans travel, they usually would not pass by this place but instead, go around it."

"This place is not called Demon Gorge for nothing…"

The passengers began to discuss as they waited for the inevitable. They knew that the ship would do their best to fight against that thing. Either that or escape this place.

…

Meanwhile, on the ship's bridge…

"Captain, the mana engines are already charging…"

"Once it hits 100% tell me immediately… I did not expect that we would be encountering such an enemy…" the captain muttered to himself.

He recalled the stories of the other captains in the lounge about the Demon's Gorge draconian territory. Although not all of them encounter the dragons, yet from the other captain's story, he could tell that these creatures are very intelligent.

Some are even saying that they are really being controlled by some people. That is why he told those words a while ago on the deck.

Plus he already noticed those things that the young man did on the deck and he knew that those are defensive arrays. He knew that he discovered an expert on this trip.

While thinking to this point, the first volley of attack erupted and it came from the dragon.

A long stream of blazing fire coming from the dragon bombarded the ship.

The ship began shaking, but the barrier was still able to hold.

"Captain… shield's energy is down by 10%... That dragon's breath is very strong…" one of the crew members reported.

Then they immediately heard series of bombardments coming from the turrets.
