Upon the old man's introduction, Raine gained a preliminary understanding of the Dragon-class sea area.
There were two main areas: the safe waters and the "other waters." The safe waters rarely suffered attacks from the Dragon God, while the other waters were practically the realm of the Dragon God.
The ratio of the areas of these two regions was roughly 3 to 7.
Of course, even within the safe waters, safety was not guaranteed, as intense competition raged among the major powers.
With limited territory for humans, those who were of no use in developing the islands would be driven out. Lacking the ability to traverse the Forbidden Land of Dragon, they could only search for habitable islands in the other waters.
To survive in the Dragon God's territory, sacrifices were indispensable.
In this world of survival of the fittest, the experiences of these people seemed to have little fundamental difference. What shocked Raine, however, was that the so-called Dragon God were actual dragons!
"Due to the sparse population, resources here are actually quite abundant. Some areas even have mines and pristine forests. There are quite a few mineral veins near the seabed around us. However..." Old Wong continued, "We simply don't have the capability to exploit these resources. Even those in the safe waters dare not venture out. How could we?"
"Mineral veins!" Raine couldn't remain calm, "You still have these things!"
He needed 500 billion for his next level up! This astronomical figure wasn't even the crux of the matter. The key issue was that Raine doubted there were enough materials to sell in the Dragon-level sea region.
However, if they could mine the mineral veins and collect materials from the pristine forests and stones, it would play a crucial role in his evolution to the next level!
After pondering for a long time, Raine asked, "How many Dragon Gods are there here?"
"Sir, there's only one. Huh? Didn't you know? Hasn't the Black Dragon God been following you all this time?"
Raine felt somewhat awkward. What followed him was not the Black Dragon God, but something that merely resembled it. These people had no radar equipment, so it was difficult for them to gauge Blacky's size with their naked eyes.
"That's my crew member," Raine decided to reveal the truth.
"What! That's not... not the Black Dragon God!" Old Wong was stunned, his eyes filled with terror, "Oh no! You've doomed us all! If the Black Dragon God discovers we haven't offered tribute, all seven thousand people on this island will die!"
Raine shook his head, "Don't worry, Old Wong. I'll help you kill the Black Dragon God."
Raine couldn't defeat a group of scaly dragons, but Dragon God seemed to be solitary creatures, with only one in each area. This was the most advantageous condition for Raine.
"What? Kill the Dragon God? Sir, am I hearing this right?"
Raine said, "Old Wong, I can try. As long as the Black Dragon God is killed, you won't have to sacrifice your children and grandchildren anymore. I believe that after all these years, you must all hate the Dragon Gods, don't you?"
"We do!" Old Wong's face was filled with grief and anger, but he dared not vent it at the moment.
He only sighed, "Among the eight girls this time, one is my granddaughter!"
"Sir, are you really sure you can defeat the Dragon God?"
"Actually, I can't guarantee it either, as I've never encountered one before, but I want to give it a try."
"What if we fail?"
"Even if we fail, it doesn't matter. I won't act in your name. If we lose, only our people will end up in the dragon's belly. It has nothing to do with you."
Inside the room, several women stopped in their tracks.
"Sir, if you can, please kill the Black Dragon God!" A woman in her forties said with red eyes, "My daughter was eaten by it last year! If it weren't for the fear of it retaliating against our island, I would have killed it myself!"
"Yes, kill the dragon king! It's the devil! It won't let us leave the island, and we have no chance to escape."
Only powerful mutants had a slim chance of escaping to the safe seas.
"My daughter too... Sir, if you have the power, please, kill the Black Dragon God!"
Sometimes, women can be more ruthless than men. Old Wong was still weighing the pros and cons, but their hearts were set on killing the Black Dragon God.
Old Wong knew that this was the voice of the people. On the island, who didn't have a family member taken as a sacrifice to the Black Dragon God? Who didn't hate and fear it?
Raine took a sip of tea and said indifferently, "I can promise you, but you have to promise me one condition."
Old Wong was silent for a long time before finally raising his head and saying, "What do you request, Sir Raine?"
"After killing the Black Dragon God, I want to develop the nearby mines. I can guarantee your safety, but you need to help me with the mining!" Raine said, "I can pay you the appropriate compensation."
The mines were too tempting for Raine! In the entire Dragon-class Sea Area, humans only occupied one-third of the territory, which was probably also dominated by several large fleets. Resources must be scarce.
By the time he got here, money couldn't even buy resources!
"Sir, if you can really kill the Black Dragon God, don't worry about compensation. We'll help you mine the resources for free!" Old Wong said excitedly.
Raine nodded and stood up. "The Black Dragon should appear soon."
"Yes, sir. It was originally three days later, but we returned early because we encountered your fleet."
"Alright, let's replenish some food and water, and then go."
The news of Raine's fleet going to kill the Black Dragon spread quickly across the island. Onebear and Twobear and the others hadn't even bought supplies when the islanders kept sending them food.
At first, Onebear wanted to refuse, but the islanders were too enthusiastic, so Raine eventually let them accept the food.
After a short rest, the Dad set off.
According to their plan, on the day of the battle, the Super Battleship would be anchored in the sacrificial area, while the other ships would be anchored 50,000 meters away from Raine.
All fighter jets and drones would be deployed, refueling and resupplying on the three battleships, on standby around the clock.
On the morning of the third day, the sea was unusually calm, with the sound of waves crashing against the hull.
Unconsciously, the crashing sound became louder and more frequent.
"Raine..." Fancy held Raine's arm, looking a bit nervous.
The ship's radar had already detected something approaching!
[Alert: B5-class sea monster Black Dragon detected at 199 degrees southwest.]
[Alert: B3-class sea monster Human-face Fish detected at 199 degrees southwest.]
[Alert: B1-class sea monster Water Dragon Lion detected at 199 degrees southwest.]
"Damn it! I'm starting to regret this..." Raine swallowed. Why on earth did he think it was a good idea to come and slay a dragon with just one ship?
Not to mention, the Naga clan took away the Dragon Slayer Sword... Now, he could only rely on the ship to slay the dragon!
