Chapter 157: "The Dragon Bounder"
Euron Greyjoy's flagship, the Tranquility, was silent at the moment, not because the crew was scared silly, but because they had their tongues pulled out by the insane and cruel captain, just because the captain longed for a little "tranquility".
Many people think that Euron has gone completely crazy when he was exiled, and others think that while exploring the ruins of Valyria, he encountered something terrible that cannot be described in words, and it was this hidden fear that drove him crazy.
However, Zhang Cheng felt that this guy was likely to be one of the very few people in the entire A Song of Ice and Fire story who realized the truth of the whole world.
In addition, he also wanted to see what kind of powerful magic the legendary "dragon binder" in Valyria could control dragons.
You must know that even the beast-like dragons of the world of A Song of Ice and Fire are also terrifying magical creatures, and the scales and blood filled with mystical energy alone are enough to develop enough resistance to supernatural forces.
Zhang Cheng once tested Kulo Kirba's magic resistance with spells including Ice Arrow, Arcane Missile, Fire Blast, Ice Pick, Arcane Explosion, etc., and the results were surprising.
Although dragon scales can't even resist the piercing of steel spears in terms of physical defense, they can reduce energy damage by about one-third to one-half, and wounds heal very quickly, usually scarring in one to two days, and new scales will grow with them.
This means that dragons have an unparalleled advantage in fighting supernatural forces, and it is impossible for ordinary magical items to control them.
Unless......
Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng handed the sword in his hand forward again, and immediately drew a red line on the other party's neck, and the dazzling blood beads slowly slid down the skin, and the white shirt was dyed red in the blink of an eye.
But there was no fear on Yolun's face at all, and he smiled and raised his head and asked, "You are the legendary Mason?"
"That's right! I've heard that you've found a huge horn in the ruins of Valyria, can you show it to me if you don't mind?"
"Hahahaha! Why? Just because you're pointing your sword at me now, you're wrong to think of me as one of those fools who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"
Judging from the madness revealed by his eyes, he was by no means pretending, but really did not take life and death to heart.
After seeing that the threat of force had no effect, Zhang Cheng quickly put away his long sword, stretched out his right index finger and shook it lightly twice.
Soon, a bright flame swirled between him, and when the dragon hovering in the sky found it, it rushed directly to the nearest ship, opening its bloody mouth and spitting out the scorching dragon flame.
Moment!
The ship was in flames!
The sailors above screamed and tried to jump into the sea to survive, but before most of them could run to the side of the deck, their bodies were engulfed in the raging flames, and the whole ship began to slowly disintegrate, eventually becoming a pile of garbage floating on the water.
Zhang Cheng took a deep breath of the burning smell in the air, turned to Yu Lun, who was half-kneeling in front of him, and said, "Do you know? In my opinion, everyone in the world has weaknesses.
Maybe some people are not afraid of death, but they always have something they care about.
For example, some people think that family and friendship are priceless and are willing to give everything for their family and friends.
There are also those who regard their wealth as their fate and would rather die than hand over their wealth.
As long as I can grasp these weaknesses, I can bring these seemingly unafraid of death to their knees.
As for you, I think that these battleships at sea are your weak point.
If you don't meet my demands, then I will destroy all the ships one by one in front of you, and then embark on the Iron Islands to carry out an unprecedented massacre, whether it is the elderly, women, or children, and I will make the Iron People disappear completely.
Don't think this is a bluff, I happened to study gray scaly disease not long ago, and by the way, I got a little blood from an infected person.
Imagine if I caught 500 iron people, followed them with gray scale, and then threw them into unsuspecting villages and towns, how quickly do you think they would spread when they started to go berserk?
When the number of infected people rises to 1,000 or 10,000, how many healthy people will survive in the Iron Islands?
Now, I'll repeat it again, hand over the Dragonbinder, or I'll show you all the images I've just described. ”
As the last word fell, Zhang Cheng raised his right index finger again and shook it twice.
Kulo Kelba lunged at his prey and set fire to the second enemy ship, and the remaining captains, realizing that they were no match for the dragon at all, turned around and fled in all directions.
Euron clenched his fists tightly, and a flame of hatred burst from his eyes, and it took a full minute for him to grit his teeth and roar, "That's enough! I can give you the Dragon's Horn! But you must swear to spare me and my fleet when you get it!"
"No problem! I had no intention of being your enemy. On the contrary, I would like to have some in-depth cooperation with you, such as the ransacking of the old town ......" Zhang Chengcheng gave a deep assurance.
"Hmph!" Yu Lun got up from the ground with a cold face, and took out a huge horn that was more than one meter eight long from the huge wooden box next to the mast.
The horn shimmers with a black sheen on the surface and is not as veinful as the reddish-gold Valyrian black steel, but the surface is as smooth as a mirror, and even the distorted reflection can be seen from above.
On top of that, the stripes of the horn were engraved with runes that Zhang Cheng had never seen before, but that exuded strange energy fluctuations.
Without any hesitation, he directly injected a trace of arcane energy into it, wanting to confirm the effect of the rune in this way.
But at the moment when the energy was just injected!
The runes of the horn suddenly lit up, first turning fiery red, then immediately emitting a dazzling white light, and then a huge sound echoed across the sea, as if thousands of souls were roaring!
"Ahh!!!!!!!!!!h
The horn-wielding oulun let out a terrible wail, and his whole body turned red as if it had been burned by fire, and in some places large blisters appeared.
When the cacophony stopped, a wisp of green smoke rose from the center of the horn, enveloping the dragon still hovering overhead.
"Whew!!!"
Kulo Kerba screamed and struggled desperately to break free from the smoke, but for some reason, the more he struggled, the tighter the smoke enveloped.
Finally, it was forced to slowly land on the deck of the "Serenity", and with intense anger and unwillingness, it knelt in front of the huge "Dragon Binder" and bowed its head in submission......
