Shan Ming fired several shots at the Dragon Blood Man rushing towards him. The only one bullet hit was bounced back by his grey scales. Shan Ming’s scalp was numb. He turned around and ran back.

Shen Changze flew over, grabbed the Dragon Blood Man by the tail and swung him away violently.

Shan Ming took the opportunity to run behind the console and dumped all the contents of the bag on the ground. He began to assemble the Remington 700 sniper rifle. His hands were shaking a little during the assembly of the rifle. He snapped the sight base into the rail. He couldn’t unstuck the guide rail for a long time. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

Shan Ming slapped himself on his own face fiercely twice. He did this in order to calm himself down immediately and overcome his inner fear of a Dragon Blood Man.

He took a deep breath, allowing the air to circulate in his lungs and then exhaling them slowly. He suddenly felt the nervousness in his heart relieved.

He quickly loaded the gun and found the sniper position. He also found another place to fire his machine gun. He adjusted it and then searched for Shen Changze and the four dragon blood men through the lens.

Shen Changze roared and threatened. He used his sharp claws to push back the Dragon Blood people who pounced on him time and time again. But as Tang Jingzhi said, those Dragon Blood people looked too hungry. After inhaling the gas, their fear seemed to disappear from the body. The ‘Gas No. 3’ must have played a huge role in stimulating the nervous system. Shen Changze also looked crazy himself. But fortunately, he was still conscious of himself.

It’s just that he couldn’t stop the four Dragon Blood men at the same time. When one Dragon Blood Man found where Shan Ming was hiding, he gave up attacking Shen Changze and turned around to rush towards him. Although the Dragon Blood Man looked crazy, he obviously didn’t lose his IQ. In order to avoid the sniper guns, he moved forward in a zigzag shape.

Shan Ming held the gun tightly. The red eyes of the dragon blood man in the lens were getting closer and closer to him. He was looking like a demon.

In a glance, Shan Ming saw the tattoo on the Dragon Blood Man’s left arm – it was an eagle holding an iron anchor and a sharp arrow.

Apparently, this is the signature tattoo of the US Navy SEAL Team Six. This team’s members are experts and have experienced many special missions. The members prefer to add some letters that ordinary people can’t understand under this kind of tattoo. For example——the abbreviation of a name of a place where the owner of the tattoo once fought in. Or the abbreviation of the person’s name of which he had killed…

Although there are many of such members out there, being able to tattoo a long row of letters under the eagle emblem is enough to show that the Dragon Blood Man in front of him is a real opponent even when he is a human being. He just doesn’t know why a member of the SEAL team would appear here. He was probably held hostage like Pell. If not, Shan Ming really didn’t believe that anyone would willingly become such a monster.

In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Blood Man had entered the best distance for a snipe shot. But he still didn’t shoot.

The tragic battle fourteen years ago almost wiped out all members of ‘Peregrine Falcon’. But it did not leave him with a little experience. That is, when the Dragon Blood Man was moving at high speed, the success rate of long-range sniping was close to zero. Only when the distance is very close would there be a glimmer of hope. However, the sniper of the ‘Peregrine Falcon’ has never faced such an opponent. When a shot is missed, he will expose himself to the target and he will be killed by the Dragon Blood Man at close range.

Once he exposed himself, it is common sense for snipers to retreat immediately. The ‘Peregrine Falcon’’s snipers did the same thing even back then. Shan Ming later recalled that if he hadn’t retreated at that time and waited ruthlessly for the Dragon Blood Man to approach, he might have been able to shoot him.

It’s just that it’s one thing to think about it but when he really falls into the situation now, God knows how much courage and psychological preparation it takes to execute it.

When he saw a monster beyond human imagination rushing towards him, baring his teeth and grinning, he knew he had to remain motionless, calm, and wait for the right opportunity to kill him in one fell swoop. The sweat on his body flowed down wildly.

As long as one can hit a bullet to his head… His head is not protected by scales. So it can definitely be shot through!

Judging from the data from the lens, the Dragon Blood Man was no more than six to seven metres away from him. Shan Ming’s eyes flashed brightly and he shot the gun decisively.

The bullet hit the dragon blood man in the face, causing him to flip over and fall with a strong force to the ground.

Hit!

Shan Ming suppressed the joy in his heart and threw away the sniper rifle. He picked up his AK, intending to rush while loading the gun.

But before his excitement lasted for three seconds, he saw the Dragon Blood Man jump up from the ground. The bullet cut through a large piece of muscle on the left side of his face and even tore off his ear. The blood was flowing rapidly. But he did not lose his mobility. He instead became even angrier. He roared frantically and rushed towards Shan Ming.

Shan Ming threw away his AK resolutely. He knew that it was useless to be shooting at a Dragon Blood Man. He jumped over the console and ran towards the transparent laboratories.

Shen Changze was entangled by three other Dragon Blood men, one of which had already torn off his arm while the other, which had a large dragon scale off its chest, was writhing on the ground in pain. The scene was very bloody, Tang Jingzhi and his group of people were dumbfounded by the intensity of the battle.

Shan Ming was running at the fastest speed in his life. He relied on the terrain of the circular laboratories to shuttle back and forth between the laboratories. The Dragon Blood Man couldn’t catch him for a while so he roared angrily.

Shan Ming knew that going on like this was not an option. His physical strength was definitely not as good as this monster. If this monster kept chasing him, he would die of exhaustion even if he was not eaten by him.

But fighting head-on sounds like death as well. What is he to do… so that he can live…? What can be used to deal with him? What can be used to deal with him?!

Shan Ming suddenly remembered the high-voltage electric gun he looted from a bodyguard. That thing was going to be used to deal with Shen Changze so it must also be effective against this non-pure blooded Dragon Blood Man. But where is the gun? Where is the gun?

He remembered that he had left the high-voltage stun gun at the sniping position just now. It was at least two hundred metres away in a straight line. If he could get the gun before the Dragon Blood Man got to him, he might be able to fight him off.

He knew that he had no time to hesitate. He could either continue to go around in circles with him to consume his energy until he was too tired to walk or fight to the death!

Shan Ming made a decisive choice. He took a deep breath and started to circle in the direction where he came from. He then ran desperately towards the console.

He could even feel the wind from the force of the Dragon Blood Man approaching behind him. He was following him and Shan Ming then felt a pain in his waist. He knew that he had been scratched by the Dragon Blood Man’s claws.

Unable to control his body, he fell to the ground and rolled for four to five metres. Shan Ming quickly drew out his sabre as he thoughtlessly turned around and swing it. The opponent, however, did jump to avoid it.

Shan Ming was stunned for a moment. An enlightenment flashed in his mind. He found the weakness of this Dragon Blood Man. That is, he did not have the consciousness of a trained Dragon Blood Man! People with dragon blood like House or Shen Changze, after a long period of training and strengthening, are very clear about their own abilities. But this Dragon Blood person in front of him is probably experiencing his first time in a battle in his dragon blood form. He may not be used to his abilities yet. His body is already invulnerable to ordinary bullets and knives. But his human consciousness tells him to dodge when he encounters an attack. This may be Shan Ming’s only chance.

Sure enough, when he jumped up from the ground to attack, the Dragon Blood Man indeed dodged him. He began to use orthodox fighting techniques to deal with Shan Ming. But his speed and strength were too amazing. Shan Ming was only at an advantage in the beginning. Taking advantage of a little physical dexterity, he was quickly suppressed by this Dragon Blood Man.

Shan Ming stopped fighting with him. He turned back and rushed towards the console. As long as he could cross the console, he could get the high-voltage stun gun!

When he tried to jump over the console, the Dragon Blood Man also jumped up. Maybe out of instinct, the tail of the Dragon Blood Man suddenly flicked over. Shan Ming couldn’t guard himself against it and he was slammed by his calf. He only felt a sharp pain in his legs and he knelt down by the console with a plop.

The Dragon Blood Man was stunned. Perhaps he didn’t expect his tail to be useful like that.

Shan Ming writhed by the console in pain. He couldn’t even let out a groan.

The Dragon Blood Man grabbed Shan Ming’s neck. With a bloodthirsty smile on his face, he slowly tightened his claws.

Shan Ming began to pinch the dragon blood man’s arm with both of his hands but his strength as a normal human being failed to affect the threat of death from the Dragon Blood Man. He could no longer breathe. The air was cut off brutally and a terrible bruise appeared on his face.

He simply let go of his hand and his left hand hung under the console, trying to reach for the high-voltage stun gun. He could already see it from the corner of his eye. Just a little bit more… a little closer…a little bit…

Shan Ming began to feel dizzy and he began to lose his body’s strength. It would take several minutes for an ordinary person to strangle someone to death. But it only took a few seconds for this Dragon Blood Man to kill him. His eyes turned white. His life flashes before his eyes slowly.

Shan Ming was unwilling to die in this kind of monster’s hands.

His adoptive father and the comrades-in-arms of the ‘Peregrine Falcon’ who watched him grow up all died at the hands of this monster. At that time, if Lin Qiang hadn’t killed himself along with the monster, he would have died since back then.

Could this be his fate? It’s too ironic to give him fourteen more years of life to raise a Dragon Blood Man and finally die in the hands of such a creature as well. He really doesn’t want to die…

With the sound of a loud noise, Shan Ming felt his body tremble violently. The Dragon Blood Man let out a high-pitched scream and flew out with him in his hands. They both fell behind the console.

Some warm liquid spilled on Shan Ming’s body and legs and there was a burning smell from his clothes. The liquid made his skin blister immediately. He realised that it was the acidic dragon’s blood. But this blood acidity is not as scary as Shen Changze’s blood acidity. Or else, he would be covered in bloody holes by now.

The sound just now was that of a Barrett sniper rifle with a 12.7mm calibre bullet. That big guy was used to hit armoured vehicles and helicopters. Strangely, this Dragon Blood Man is still a body of flesh and blood after all. So it must absolutely be unbearable for him as well.

Shan Ming struggled to get up. He took off his clothes and quickly wiped off the dragon’s blood that had burned through his clothes and splashed on his skin. Fortunately, it wasn’t Shen Changze’s blood.

He jumped up from the ground, searching for the sniper. Finally, at the door more than 300 metres away, he saw a huge sniper rifle and Kali was already waving at him with a smile on his face.

Next to him, there was Falcon as his cover and Tiger Shark holding a Gatling machine gun. Jushi was also there, carrying a rocket launcher on his shoulders. He rushed towards Shen Changze and the three Dragon Blood men.

Shan Ming’s eyes became hot. He finally felt that he had come back to life.
