The Game of Global Mining-Chapter 324 - 276: The Black Dragon God and the Mermaid Became Friends
Right now, Sariel is scrambling in an extremely embarrassing state, while the chat group laughs at his misfortune without any intention of helping, pondering why the Black Dragon would appear.
As one of the Ten Lords, Sariel is equipped with Divine Artifacts that are almost untouchable, but after all, being a player, his level isn’t high enough. He’s not yet at a stage to go head-to-head with a god, let alone a god among the Black Dragons.
Perhaps using Divine Descent might allow him to escape, but the cost is too great. Maybe he could hold out until reaching the Mermaid, hoping for rescue, but the Mermaid left the sea and the Black Dragon God is still Uriel’s mission. Meeting would definitely result in one party getting hurt, or even both suffering.
So, why not just give up and die? It’s not like dying is unbearable. At worst, he can resurrect back on the ship and catch up with the Mermaid’s team after resting.
Sariel tried to lead the Black Dragon far away until he couldn’t hold on any longer and died back on the ship.
It turned out the Black Dragon’s flame stuck to him like a white phosphorus bomb, still burning even after resurrection!
The crowd laughed again, leaving Sariel speechless.
Uriel laughed and said, "Looks like my Black Dragon God is really impressive! Don’t worry, Sariel, our Goblin Legion is already in ambush position, ready to avenge you."
Sariel retorted unhappily, "Are you sure it’s your Black Dragon God and not a Curry Person’s? Can anyone explain why I encountered it halfway?"
Michael frowned, "Indeed, there’s a major doubt. Sariel, although you revealed your True Angel True Body, it’s not at Divine-level yet, which shouldn’t trigger the Guardian God’s action, especially not over such a distance."
Uriel wondered, "Isn’t it possible that this Black Dragon God is, after all, just a century-old egg and is still in its juvenile stage? Although considered a god, it’s really just barely so, and thus doesn’t require a Divine-level target to be provoked. A slightly stronger being would trigger its action."
Gabriel commented, "Using a century as a measure for gods might be inaccurate. The Guardian Gods of the Five Major Cities were actually quite weak in their settings a century ago."
Uriel said, "Guardian Gods are Faith Gods, their strength is linked to the city’s believer population. The ceiling is extremely high, but the floor is just a weak Light Ball. The Black Dragon is different; its lower limit is determined and cannot be directly compared to Faith Gods..."
While they were debating, Sariel received a live broadcast from the front: "Sir, the Mermaid has started singing a battle song, suspected to have encountered a strong foe!"
Sariel was incredulous, "Could it be the Black Dragon God?!"
"Sir, what should we do?"
Sariel was anxious, "Of course, go all out to protect the Mermaid!"
"But our role—"
Sariel was furious, "The Mermaid is an intelligent NPC, she’ll be very angry if she finds out you’re not protecting her!"
"Understood!"
The next moment, the live broadcast was transmitted to the chat group.
They saw the Mermaid singing seriously while casting spells. A large mass of moisture gathered around her, forming a "Steam Ball" that was somewhere between gas and liquid!
Sariel knew that on land, the Mermaid could only rely on this limited mass of collected water to fight. But her advantage was the Silver City’s Guardian God...
Uriel was more anxious, "Can’t we stop them from fighting?"
Sariel was helpless, "Do you think that’s possible?"
Uriel was torn, "Why would the Black Dragon God come so far?"
Gabriel sighed, "Maybe it’s because the Mermaid is too powerful, scaring the Black Dragon from a distance?"
Michael was even more speechless, "If your guess is correct, it means our internal rules have been breached... which might be a good thing."
Just as they spoke, a black wave crashed down from the night sky!
Sariel’s heart was in his throat, "Black Fireball—"
The Mermaid’s outer "Soda Ball" suddenly made a steam-jetting sound and rolled unpredictably, bouncing off at an incredible speed, narrowly avoiding the fireball—Boom!!
Flames came rushing, and the live broadcast camera went dark!
Sariel was anxious, "Switch members to broadcast!"
But the chaos had already erupted; the entire screen was filled with flying flames, and then the screen went black again!
"Sir, we’ve lost more than half our team!"
This enraged Sariel, "Retreat, disperse and retreat..."
In battles of this scale, players were already of no use, but they couldn’t do without live broadcasters!
But it was too late; there was fire everywhere!
Sariel regretted not thinking twice before ordering the team to protect the Mermaid. Now even the broadcasters might be lost.
Finally, the last live broadcast camera went dark.
"Sir, our whole team has died and returned to the ship in a weakened state from burns!"
Sariel was infuriated, "Fak! Fak!!"
Gabriel consoled, "With the mobility shown by the Mermaid’s water spheres, even if she can’t contend with the Black Dragon’s flames, returning to the sea shouldn’t be a problem."
Uriel was conflicted, "Well, I’ve got prey on my side now..."
...
At this moment, Feng Xingcuo was racing toward Black Iron City, escorted by 500 players.
Finding out Brother Long had dispatched thousands of players from the city to respond made him a bit nervous; was he making too much of a fuss? Was delivering a letter really that serious?
The large-scale rapid deployment in the city had alarmed players worldwide, who thought some treasure had appeared in the wild...
Just then, an outer squad member exclaimed, "So many Goblin Leaders!"
Holy Shit, has an event been triggered!?
Feng Xingcuo decided immediately, "Draw them away!"
Soon, a message came from the reception team: "Encountered over a hundred Goblin Leaders and over a thousand Goblin Elites!"
Feng Xingcuo was stunned, truly not expecting this letter to trigger such a massive scene. Is this related to the Blasphemer?
But the more important it was, the more they couldn’t afford to make mistakes: "Do everything to lure the enemy and cover me..."
The exterior squad members of Feng Xingcuo kept leaving the team, soon leaving only a few dozen people around him.
Feng Xingcuo was going crazy, "Keep drawing them away!"
