hunt and eat

Chapter 458 Either break through the taboo or die!
Although due to the reckless behavior of the ancient tower, the first round of trials of [Trial of Natural Disasters] seemed to be like a galloping train, quickly away from the organizer's original intention, but due to certain considerations, it was not considered as a trial after all. Oliva in charge pauses.

Accompanied by rescue signals one after another, Guta is also like a hardworking bee, constantly going back and forth, reaping its own happiness.

Although the vast majority of monsters have highly degraded skills due to some unknown reasons, and in the end they can only plunder some basic attributes without land, but occasionally a batch can emerge, such as the crystal rock dragon encountered by the trio Like that, a powerful monster full of uniqueness and surprises.

Like a green velociraptor subspecies that is smaller than the original species but twice as fast, or a heavy beetle subspecies that has shrunk in size but has an iron-black carapace...

The appearance of these monsters made the hunting experience of the ancient tower trial more and more perfect.

And at the time of the trial of natural disasters, in an unknown place far from the center of the mainland

The huge monster dragging the black wind has officially arrived at the end of the trip——

A huge canyon that is full of tornadoes and hurricanes everywhere, and even the surrounding sandstone is sharp and strange, which can be called a place where life is extinct.

The long dragon's roar with a peculiar rhythm resounded quickly. Driven by some mysterious power, it covered the entire stormy land in an instant, and even suppressed the whistling wind sound of the seemingly endless tornado column around it.

Soon, accompanied by a dragon's roar with a somewhat similar tone, but more vigorous, a silver-gray monster of the same size flew out from the end of a certain tornado column with fluttering wings.

Those terrifying tornado pillars almost turned into a gentle and harmless breeze in front of it, allowing it to pass by.

【Kushao, it's not time for you to return yet】

【Um?How about your wings...]

The sight of the front of the body changed drastically, one side of the wings was completely lost, and replaced by a certain steel dragon Kushaou with elemental wings completely composed of black storms. The steel dragon that flew out of the storm was a little surprised for a while. .

【Daora is dead, under the hand of the unknown dream】

【Ou Luozan, I want to see the patriarch】

There was no wave in the ancient well in the eyes, the former rusty steel dragon Kushao, now [Black Winged Demon], growled towards his fellow clansmen in front of him.

As if affected by its emotions, the storm wings on the side of the Black Winged Demon were distorted and deformed in an instant, but returned to their original shape in the next instant, as if nothing had happened.

[You can wait until the next hundred years before the patriarch wakes up]

Shaking his head, the steel dragon Ou Luozan flapped his wings, controlled the airflow around his body, and slightly distanced himself from the fellow in front of him.

The thick black wind on the opponent's body, as well as the silver-black scale armor that he had never seen before, made him inexplicably frightened, so that he instinctively didn't want to get too close to the opponent.

Moreover, compared to 30 years ago, Kushao's aura was much stronger, and even once gave Ou Luozan the illusion of seeing the patriarch.

All kinds of strange things make the steel dragon Ou Luozan, who has lived for 500 years, a little inexplicably afraid.

[Does the old man think that this way he can escape the next solstice? 】

【Get out of the way, I will see it myself】

The Black Winged Demon was a little impatient, he bypassed his fellow clan in front of him and prepared to rush in.

【You can't enter...】

After a while of astonishment, Ou Luozan waved his wings to stop him, but in the next second, he was hit by the black wing of the storm, which was nearly five times larger in an instant, and hit his face directly. Among the rock walls.

The ominous black wind, in its horrified sight, is constantly drilling into the gaps in the scales around it, like some kind of strange living creature.

But these are not the most frightening.

What really made it almost stop breathing was that he was gradually losing control over the storm.

For every steel dragon who is born to control the storm, this is a crueler thing than death.

【Stop it, Kushaou, it is your younger brother after all】

【Ou Luozan, don't stop me】

The roar of an old dragon, like a dry bone in a tomb, floated out from the deepest part of the canyon in an invisible storm.

For a moment, both the Black Winged Demon and the steel dragon Ou Luozan stopped fighting.

During the silence, strands of the black storm were gradually withdrawn from the body. The Black Wing Demon ignored Ou Luozan's intentions, waved a pair of asymmetrical wings, and gradually fell towards the depths of the canyon.

As for the latter, while feeling the rapidly restored [authority] over the storm in his body, he looked at the silver-black figure going away with a complicated expression.

【Heh, do we ancient dragons really have this so-called kinship? 】

With a self-deprecating growl, the steel dragon Ou Luozan waved his silver-gray wings, and slowly landed on the high platform where he had been sleeping on his stomach all year round.

A fragment of memory from when I was just born hundreds of years ago flashed through my mind.

【My name is Kusao, according to those upright species, you can call me sister】

[From today, I will teach you how to control your abilities]

The roar of the dragon with inexplicable emotion came out from the steel dragon Oulozan's slightly opened and closed huge mouth, which seemed to be nostalgic for something, and also carried some inexplicable irony.

But in the end, it still fell into the silence that seemed to remain unchanged for thousands of years, and was finally silenced by the strong wind around it, erasing all traces of existence.

Certain things, for ancient dragon species, are a luxury.

……

As the black-winged demon fell all the way, the surrounding light became increasingly dimmer.

At the bottom of the valley nearly a thousand meters deep, with the glow of the glittering crystal ore around it, the black-winged demon also saw the "gray mountain" lying quietly in front of him, which was almost twice as big as himself.

Unlike other steel dragons, there was no trace of metallic luster on the body of the behemoth in front of him.

If I have to say it, the scales on its body surface are closer to the touch of rocks.

What's even more weird is that on the surface of the old dragon's head, half of the face of an old human being looming, flashes from time to time like a projection.

This is the patriarch of the steel dragon clan for nearly 5000 years, the ancient steel dragon Hared

The strength is extremely close to the ancient monsters in the forbidden field.

【Go out for a trip, you have grown a lot】

Looking at the black-winged demon whose appearance has changed drastically in front of him, Gu Ganglong Hared's cloudy eyes were full of relief.

This is the only one that is still "changing" among its few remaining siblings.

For ancient dragons whose lifespan is almost infinite, this is the most precious quality.

[Are you still trying to break through? 】

Looking at the ever-changing image of an old human being on the head of the ancient steel dragon Hared, the black-winged demon was silent for a while.

[This is the only way out for all our ancient dragon species]

【You will understand later】

The ancient steel dragon Hared shook his head, and there was a sound of cracking rocks.

Regarding Hared's statement, Kusao, or Kusao, growled somewhat ironically.

For Gu Long, all individual names are just simple syllables, and the shape of characters is just a language habit imposed by human beings.

[So, this is the reason why you gave your only relative as a sacrifice to the King of the End 50 years ago? 】

As if he didn't expect the other party to mention this matter, Gu Ganglong Hared closed his eyes in pain.

This matter has almost become a taboo of the steel dragon clan, and only this unruly fellow clan in front of him would have the courage to mention this matter in front of him.

After a long time, Gu Ganglong opened his gray eyes again.

【This is a necessary sacrifice】

[Then why don't you sacrifice yourself? 】

The black-winged demon taunted somewhat tit-for-tat.

In this regard, Gu Ganglong Hared did not hesitate at all, and gave his own answer: [Because I am closer to the taboo field, that's all]

This straightforward response made the Black Wing Demon, who had been a little emotional since seeing the ancient steel dragon Hared, become dumbfounded for a while.

After a long time, he finally remembered that he came here for other things, and he roared again:
【These things have nothing to do with me. I came here hoping to use the power of the whole family to avenge Daora.】

[No, it’s not just Daora. This is the third member of our family who died at its hands in the past 500 years. We must take action]

To be honest, according to his original character, the Black Winged Demon should go directly to seek revenge on [Unknown Dream] single-handedly.

But after going through the battle with 【火魔】, and after breaking free from death, the Black Winged Demon has completely put away his arrogance as an ancient dragon species.

Even if its strength has skyrocketed after breaking through, it will most likely not be an opponent to the [Unknown Dream] who can escape from the [King of Taboo].

But if you add the help of the ancient steel dragon Hared, who stepped into the forbidden area with half a foot in front of you, and the help of other tribesmen, the result should be completely different.

Moreover, according to an undisclosed rumor in the clan, the patriarch seems to have a good relationship with the mother of the Yanlong clan, and he might be able to pull them in if necessary...

Facing the request of the Black Wing Demon, Gu Ganglong Hared responded directly.

【This is impossible】

This time, the Black Winged Demon was in a hurry.

【Why, if I offended you before, then I can apologize, but you can't...】

[None of that, kid]

【It has nothing to do with that】

The roar of the dragon sounded like a sigh, interrupting the roar of the black winged demon in an instant.

The huge dragon head of the ancient steel dragon Hared looked down condescendingly in front of him. Because of the emotional agitation, even his left wind wing could no longer maintain its shape, and turned into a black-winged demon with twisted black lines, shaking his head slightly.

[50 years ago, the end of the Tianhuilong clan made all the old guys of the clan understand one thing]

[For those taboo kings aloft, there is no difference whether they are human beings or ancient dragons... they are just dispensable tools]

[Of course, I understand that this incident happened earlier. At this point, I would like to thank that vegetarian old man...]

Regardless of Hared's last sentence, the Black Winged Demon just stubbornly roared: 【What does this have to do with your reluctance to help? 】

[Still understand? 】

Gu Ganglong Hared shook his head in disappointment.

[After the last solstice, except for the group of cunning and wretched purple-skinned lizards that couldn't even find the king of taboo, the populations of almost all ancient dragon species have shrunk by nearly [-]%]

[Who can guarantee that next time, this amount will not completely return to zero?Especially on the premise that those taboo kings don't care about our life or death at all]

[So, for the continuation of the race, we must ensure that a new taboo king appears in the clan before the next solstice, otherwise we will become a tool for the taboo kings to fight again]

【The number of our remaining clansmen can no longer withstand a new round of paralysis】

The ancient steel dragon Hared roared sadly.

[Before this, we will not waste any time on those meaningless things]

[Either break through the taboo, or die! 】

The old but determined roar of the dragon made the Black Winged Demon lose his mind for a moment and froze on the spot.
