Trouble Gets Bigger!!

Although the Little Fire Dragon's displayed power was indeed formidable, Fang Zheng did not let it follow him all the way through the fighting.

The reason was simple: the Little Fire Dragon's attacks were far too destructive. After clearing a path, Fang Zheng could not find a single usable part! All that fighting would be for nothing!

So Fang Zheng treated the Little Fire Dragon as his secret weapon and carried it on his back, while he and Iona handled crossfire. Incidentally, as a Ship Girl, Iona was also exceptionally skilled at shooting. However, Fang Zheng noticed that she did not seem to like rifles or Sniper Rifles. Instead, she often wandered around carrying grenade launchers and the like...

Perhaps it was an occupational habit?

In any case, with the coordination of the two humans and one dragon, the attacking Forerunner guards were all wiped out. Fang Zheng also discovered that these Forerunner guards seemed to come in several types.

One type looked humanoid and carried guns, firing wildly with pew-pew sounds.

Another looked like a dog, but it crawled all over walls like an alien creature. The first time Fang Zheng encountered one, it suddenly leaped down from the wall and gave the Little Fire Dragon quite a scare.

There was also a type with two huge electric fans, drifting around and being as annoying as flies. Those things had no direct offensive power, but they could repair other Forerunner guards' injuries and even generate shields. They were truly irritating. Whenever Fang Zheng encountered one... he simply treated it to the Little Fire Dragon's saliva.

But for Fang Zheng, the greatest gain along the way was not the Little Fire Dragon suddenly unlocking its hidden potential and mastering divine arts. It was the Forerunners' weaponry, equipment, and technology!
