The Bizarre Adventures of the Oil Man, but Starting with Warhammer 32K

The weak attack of the electromagnetic rifle made Silver Rathalos ignore the threat from a distance. As he concentrated on dealing with the cans on the ground under the hail of bullets that could not break his defense, Leon gave the order:

"Archers, go ahead and clear the obstacles! Archers, release your arrows!"

Five crossbow carts hidden in the jungle were pushed out, and the dragon tendons that were full of bow force were released by Astarte who had pulled the bow to full force. The bows and arrows made of dragon bones were shot at the silver fire dragon in the low sky with lightning speed!

Each of the crossbow carts carefully arranged by Li Ang was aimed at a different part of the Silver Fire Dragon's body, namely the wings on both sides, the wing bones on both sides and the relatively soft abdomen.

The five crossbow carts arranged in different directions caught the Silver Fire Dragon off guard. It was originally lowering its head to gather strength, but when it noticed the flying crossbow arrows, it was too late to dodge!

The Silver Rathalos barely swerved to the side, using its claws to catch the crossbow bolt that was headed for his abdomen. Another bolt grazed his right wing bone due to his sideways movement and sank into his back. The remaining three bolts pierced their targets precisely, piercing the Silver Rathalos' left wing bone and the flesh membranes on both wings.

The Silver Rathalos raised its head in pain, and set its sights on the crossbows, spitting the incendiary bombs gathered in its mouth towards them. Although the Astartes operating the crossbows retreated in time, the explosion caused by the incendiary bombs still sucked both crossbows into it.

The scorching flames instantly reduced one ballista to ash, while the other was overturned by the blast. The enraged Silver Rathalos instantly flew over the overturned ballista, grabbed it with its claws, and smashed it to pieces.

Leon, who had lost two crossbow carts in the blink of an eye, narrowed his eyes. After witnessing the power of the incendiary bomb, he could only be thankful that this incendiary bomb at least did not explode among the Astartes group responsible for close combat.

The remaining three crossbow carts continued firing, but they were no longer a threat to the already prepared Silver Fire Dragon. He flapped his wings and flew higher into the air, using his height to dodge the arrows while fully utilizing the Fire Dragon's strengths—relentlessly spraying flames at the ground from mid-air.

A large number of trees were burned by the flames, and the ballistae that lost the jungle as cover were soon discovered by the Silver Rathalos. Although the Astartes tried to evacuate with the ballistae, two of them were caught up and burned to ashes by the Silver Rathalos.

Faced with this situation, Li Ang could only shake his head.

The ability to fly was truly extraordinary. Although theoretically a Fire Dragon and a Boom Dragon should be equally matched, the Fire Dragon's flying ability was a nightmare for most hunters who lacked long-range attack methods. This was especially true when facing the Silver Rathalos, a variant with even greater flying abilities than the Fire Dragon.

Although the crossbow cart was destroyed, Leon, who had previously arranged a surprise attack with the crossbow cart, had already achieved the desired effect. The pierced wings and damaged right wing bone forced the Silver Rathalos to expend more energy to maintain altitude and balance in mid-air, causing the Silver Rathalos, which was spewing flames wantonly in mid-air, to quickly show signs of fatigue.

The fire dragon had to lift its tail to lower its altitude, and Leon, who keenly observed this change, ruthlessly used his box weapon to expose the Silver Fire Dragon's underwear.

"He's about to swoop down and strike with his poisonous claws, Armidale, watch out for his claws!"

Amidel was fully focused. Leon had already reminded him that he dodged sideways the moment the Silver Rathalos swooped down with its wings together, causing the Silver Rathalos to miss the target.

The Silver Rathalos took advantage of the last bit of space before gliding to the ground to turn around in the air, and then landed facing Amidel who had dodged. Unable to attack, he roared again in shame and anger.

But this had no effect on Amidel, who was wearing a dragon suit and was as deaf as a child. He continued to move forward carrying the other's wife without hesitation, which made the already angry Silver Rathalos even more crazy.

He began to swing his tail to drive away the Astartes who were approaching him, but the repeated attempts of the thirteen Astartes almost turned the Silver Rathalos into a fully automatic gyroscope.

The back of the Silver Rathalos revealed as it spun around and swung its tail also created an opportunity for the Astartes' ranged attack team. Leon took advantage of the moment when the Silver Rathalos was restrained and gave another order:

"Aim at the wound on your back caused by the arrow and keep shooting!"

The firepower of the twenty-plus firing squad was several times greater than before. A torrential downpour of electromagnetic rifle bullets effortlessly slid through the already broken wounds, wantonly aggravating the enemy's injuries. Realizing the situation was dire, Silver Rathalos had no desire to continue the fight on the ground. Even though his current injuries were not serious, he didn't want to waste any more time on the ground.

The fire dragon gathered strength and planned to return to the sky, but at the moment he flapped his wings, the flash bomb thrown by Lieutenant Vigan exploded in front of him, blinding the Silver Fire Dragon's vision!

The Silver Rathalos, having lost the balance it needed to take off, stumbled and collapsed to the ground in a panic. Armidale seized the opportunity and led his men forward to attack it, but the Silver Rathalos's hard head and tightly closed eyelids prevented them from finding a direct attack.

They could only activate the power sword to create more wounds on the Silver Rathalos's abdomen and back, while cutting its wings, trying to further reduce its ability to fly.

The first round of flashbangs had a significant effect. Silver Rathalos struggled on the ground for a full twenty-five seconds before finally climbing to his feet. Covered in blood, he was too lazy to even roar. He could only stare at the White Wind Company soldiers with resentful eyes before leaping into the air, entering flight mode once again.

Leon knew that although the Silver Rathalos looked miserable, they were only suffering minor injuries. However, the hunting had been going so smoothly, with no Astartes withdrawing from the battle, which gave Leon confidence that simply stalling for time would allow these minor injuries to become the key to the Silver Rathalos' death due to exhaustion.

But it was precisely because things were going so smoothly that Li Ang now felt vaguely uneasy.

Would the World Soul just sit there and watch them continue to thrive? He could make an ordinary male Rathalos evolve into a Blue Rathalos while hunting down Astartes. He could also make a Blue Rathalos defy all laws and evolve into a Silver Rathalos, whose constitution was already determined by nature.

Now it looked like the Silver Rathalos was no match for these well-armed Astartes. Would the World Soul sit idly by and watch this situation?

Soon, the vague worry turned into reality. Two Felynx hurriedly pushed a cart to Leon's front. They tossed the cart in front of Leon, and an Astartes rolled off the cart and landed at Leon's feet.

"The dragon species previously named Devil Rex has appeared." The Astartes, who had participated in the previous hunt for the Tyrannosaurus, was spitting blood and looked very depressed, but he still managed to report the situation to Leon: "Instructor Arlo, who was assigned to guard the perimeter, is leading his men in a fight with it!"

Chapter 30: Fearless Battle

"I understand. Don't move."

The dent on the power armor made Leon realize that the Space Marine in front of him was probably hit hard by the Tyrannosaurus Rex's Iron Back.

Li Ang deftly removed the man's power armor and, without anesthesia, ripped him open. He then manually reset the dislocated organs. Although his life was no longer in danger after emergency treatment, the destructive power of the Iron Mountain Backbone still surprised Li Ang.

I didn’t expect that in the 500th year of 32K, Chinese martial arts are still unstoppable.

Leon asked Felyne to send the treated wounded to a place far away from the battlefield and refocus his attention on the battle with the Silver Rathalos.

The plan to hunt the Silver Fire Dragon was carefully planned by Li Ang. The possibility that the Soul of the World would directly pull people from outside the field to call the police as shamelessly as it did with the Dragon Blast was naturally within Li Ang's consideration as he had suffered a loss once.

Aside from the small group of about thirty people participating in the Silver Rathalos hunt, the remaining personnel were assigned to Sergeant Arlo to stand guard outside the area before the action began. Although they lacked any heavy equipment, Leon calculated that they could likely hold out until the Silver Rathalos fell, relying solely on their numbers.

In any case, the key to this battle lies in the Silver Rathalos, and the Silver Rathalos' duel must not be affected by external factors!

With this thought in mind, he continued to direct the team hunting the Silver Rathalos. With its wings partially damaged, the Silver Rathalos could only maintain a rhythm of circling in mid-air and then landing to resist. However, Armidale and his companions, gradually becoming proficient in the Silver Rathalos' attack methods, were now able to engage it with ease.

The warriors attacked the Silver Rathalos in wave after wave, maintaining a rhythm of taking flight and landing to harass. The Silver Rathalos was already showing signs of fatigue. As the wounds accumulated, its airborne time became shorter and shorter, and its flames were less intense than before. But Leon, surveying the open space where they were fighting, spotted a potential pitfall.

Every time the fire dragon spits out a fireball, the burn marks left on the ground are constantly compressing the Astartes' movement space. If they don't change the venue, the warriors who lack the space to dodge will sooner or later be caught by the silver fire dragon, and then fall one by one like dominoes.

Leon pinched his lower grip. He was thinking about luring the Silver Rathalos to a new battle area and setting a paralysis trap. But at this moment, the Felyne cats came over with a cart and brought an Astartes that Leon was not familiar with to him.

"Another monster has arrived."

The Astartes was barely breathing, his body bearing the unmistakable tire marks of a hit-and-run, and large, bloody holes pierced by sharp objects. Drag marks on either side showed the Felyne's had clearly gone to great lengths to dig him out of the ground. "He had scales protruding from his body that resembled bones, and he could curl himself up and roll around..."

"Didn't you use stink bombs to repel them?"

"I tried it, but the monster was very determined and didn't leave at all..."

Li Ang wanted to curse, but he held back.

He'd tolerated the intrusion of Tyrannosaurus and Explosive Dragon, the world's police, without their speakers, but now even the Bone Hammer Dragon from the volcanic zone had come to intrude. What was going on? Calling for reinforcements was even violating the laws of nature. What kind of person is this, World Soul?

"It's okay, just rest and recover."

Leon comforted him, he treated his wounds briefly, and then let the Felyne cats carry him away.

He looked back at the situation with the Silver Rathalos. Armidale was still engaged in a repetitive cycle of circling and landing. Leveraging his numerical advantage to maintain this rhythm of stealing attacks was undoubtedly a time-consuming but reliable approach, but external pressure had rendered this method infeasible.

First the Deviljho, then the Bone Hammer Dragon, what would appear next? Leon didn't know, but dragging it out wouldn't be a long-term solution.

Even if it might come at a price, Leon had to consider a quick victory.

Fortunately, the people fighting on the field are not all of Leon’s cards, and he is about to play his last card to resolve the current battle once and for all!

While the Silver Rathalos was still fighting on the ground, Leon and the Felynx quickly set up a hidden paralysis trap. Then he instructed Armidale:

"Armidel, retreat to me and bring the battle here!"

Armidale didn't hesitate, strapping his katana to his back and dashing towards Leon's position. Unaware of the situation, the Fire Dragon felt a deep fear of these canned creatures, who were not very powerful but were agile and well-coordinated.

Reason told him that he could withdraw from the battle while the other party gave up the fight, but when he saw the flying dragon sword Hongye behind Amidel, his eyes revealed the madness from the bottom of his heart.

That was his partner, his wife. He still remembered the warmth he felt when he found her, like finding his mother's arms...

How can I be a dragon if I don't take revenge?

A ferocious expression appeared on his face. He didn't even take off. Instead, with an attitude of "you killed my mother", he lowered his body and moved forward fearlessly to use the dragon chariot that he had never used before.

Although its sprinting speed is not as fast as that of the Boom Dragon, the sound of a twenty-meter-long behemoth charging at high speed is still breathtaking.

At Leon's reminder, the fleeing Armidel jumped over the trigger of the paralysis trap, and the Silver Fire Dragon, which was following Armidel in a dragon chariot, would fall into the trap if it sprinted forward a distance.

But he seemed to have discovered something from Amidel's abnormal jump, and stopped right before the trap was triggered, then stretched his head and bit Amidel with a big front bite!

Armidale, having just taken off, was still in mid-air, with no time to adjust his stance. He was about to be bitten by the Silver Rathalos, but a hunter who had been lying in ambush in the jungle fearlessly seized the opportunity and rushed out from the jungle!

"Alien!" he roared like thunder. "Face me!"

The fearless one, who was nearly five meters tall, charged with a force no less shocking than that of a dragon chariot. He swung his power fist and smashed it on the head of the Silver Rathalos that opened its mouth to bite. With just one blow, the Silver Rathalos was knocked crooked in the mouth and its eyes squinted!

The confused Silver Rathalos shook his head, trying to see what was going on. He roared threateningly and tilted his head, but what greeted him was the heavy double-linked grenade launcher in the other hand of the Fearless.

"I am the enemy of the aliens! I am the wrath of humanity!"

Heavy bombs whizzed into the Silver Rathalos' fragile throat. Although they were indeed unusually resistant to attacks from thermal weapons under the protection of the World Soul, this did not mean that they could remain unscathed after being madly shot at by a heavy bomb stuffed in their mouths.

The fearless uncle, who was not used to the Silver Rathalos's roaring protest, took advantage of the Silver Rathalos's opening its mouth to roar and stuffed the barrel of his gun into its mouth. The thick and long barrel gave the Silver Rathalos a deep throat, and the huge explosive bomb poured out of the barrel, violently penetrating into the most fragile flesh of the Silver Rathalos!

Chapter 31: Half-step Ancient Dragon

Bomb after bomb blasted into the Silver Rathalos' throat, causing it to let out a dull hiss. The bombs, piercing the dragon's flesh, exploded within, tearing the flesh around its neck into shreds. Some even exited the back of its neck before exploding.

Seeing this, Wu Wei pulled the trigger, determined to shoot the Silver Rathalos' neck off!

But the instinct for survival also made the Silver Rathalos struggle desperately. He tried hard to close his mouth and used his teeth to bite off the gun barrel that was stuffed into his mouth.

Seeing this, Fearless wanted to give him another big smack, but the Silver Rathalos raised its head and didn't give Fearless the chance.

But Silver Rathalos' nightmare did not end there. When he looked up to avoid Fearless, he found that Leon had already driven his engine to fly over him, and the plasma pistol in his hand, which was accumulating energy, was shining like a Death Star!

After Leon realized the existence of the World Soul, he has been avoiding directly using high-powered weapons such as the plasma pistol, so as not to directly tear his face with the World Soul.

He had guessed that the World Soul would not kill all of these Space Marines based on the fact that they had been able to survive on this planet for so long, unless the power of their thermal weapons was excessive. However, the World Soul, which was now looking for help from everyone, had shattered Leon's idea.

Since the other party no longer shows mercy, there is naturally no need for Li Ang to hide anything.

Although the external siege has made the overall situation precarious, now that Leon has played all his cards, as long as he can quickly capture the Silver Fire Dragon, all problems can naturally be solved!

What about the World Soul? What other plans does he have?

In a situation that changed suddenly in less than a minute, what else can a planet's self-awareness do?

Leon would think about this question, but he would never let his thoughts slow him down. He aimed at the part that had been severely damaged by the fearless weapon and released the trigger.

A blue light burst out from the muzzle, and the Death Star dyed blue by plasma was now shining above the Silver Raven Dragon!

The searing, charged plasma pierced the Silver Rathalos' fangs and shot into his already punctured throat. The Silver Rathalos roared in agony, but no sound came out. He could only raise his neck and spread his wings, performing a shamanic dance to ease the pain.

Leon put down the almost overloaded plasma gun in his hand and just looked at the Silver Rathalos coldly. He quietly waited for the end of this painful struggle.

He expected that the moment the Silver Rathalos fell powerlessly and triggered the paralysis trap on the ground would be the moment of its true death.

In the end, there seemed to be nothing special. The World Soul evolved the Azure Fire Dragon into the Silver Fire Dragon and brought in reinforcements from other places. However, Leon's team no longer had only eight people like the previous hunting of the Boom Dragon.

If this not-yet-fully-evolved Silver Rathalos's combat power was comparable to a small Titan, then Leon and his men, led by Armidale and fully armed, were the equivalent of a more agile anti-Titan vehicle, the Emperor's Bane Blade. With all their manpower and specialized weaponry, their victory was a given.

Thanks to the veteran hunter's fearlessness, he seized the opportunity when the Silver Rathalos opened its mouth and nearly shot it in the neck, making victory easier than expected...

Li Ang wanted to make an easier judgment, but the development of the situation was not exactly as he expected.

The Silver Rathalos's shaman dance had stopped, but it did not fall down.

Li Ang noticed something was wrong.

He observed carefully and found that the Silver Fire Dragon was no longer fighting. His neck, which had been shot through, was slowly healing, and a dazzling white light was shining in his chest.

This is clearly a sign of releasing breath!

but why?

No matter how strong the Silver Rathalos's healing ability is, the heavy bombs and plasma shot into its throat cannot be faked!

It must be the World Soul's doing! Damn World Soul!

Leon, who had poor aerial maneuverability, quickly landed on the ground, and the hunters Fearless and Armidale on the ground also realized that something was wrong.

"A last gasp?" asked Armidale.

"It's more like it's been strengthened. Let's retreat first!" Li Ang shouted without turning his head: "Hurry up, wind!"

The two men and their mechs fled the battlefield, and the other Space Marines who were approaching also retreated under instructions. However, this time, the Silver Rathalos was far more ferocious, more domineering, and more powerful than before.

When the rage in his chest accumulated to its limit, his head, which had been held high, suddenly dropped, and he spewed out a sea of ​​blue-white fire flashing with plasma arcs at the three people on the ground.

Waves of fire surged, chasing after them, greedily devouring all life on earth. Leon and Armidale struggled mightily to escape this fan-shaped forbidden zone of life. But the bulky Contemptor Dreadnought was not so lucky. His mobility was far inferior to that of ordinary power armor, and the scorching flames melted his running gear.

When the fire ended, Leon and Amidel walked on the scorched earth back to Fearless, only to find that Fearless's legs had been burned and solidified on the ground, locking Fearless firmly in place.

Although Fearless's upper body was not injured, in this situation, being unable to move was no different from death.

"Think of a way, Leon! We can't let the hunter die here!" Amidel shouted loudly. At this moment, the Silver Fire Dragon, which had recovered its combat power, was rushing towards them with great momentum, and they were almost helpless.

"The plasma I fired didn't harm Silver Rathalos. Instead, it caused him to spit out flames along with it. The plasma strengthened his breath and melted the Dreadnought's walking gear."

Leon quickly checked the Fearless's condition: "If I can't repair the walking function, I can unlock the Fearless's driving program and let the sarcophagus pop out alone, but we don't have much time..."

"Then leave me alone and do what you should do!" Fearless's voice was still as loud as a bell. "Remember, now you are the real hunter!"

A true hunter and what he should do...
