Comet Dragon, breaking into the gravity field

After he accepted the gift, the atmosphere between the two returned to peace.

"Lights...want to go somewhere else?"

Inexplicably, Naruse Ritsu felt that Takamatsu Touma didn't seem to want to go back to rest. And when he saw Touma's expression brighten slightly after he made the suggestion, he was sure he was right.

Heading slightly southwest, the two soon arrived at a natural viewing platform formed by corals.

The weather tonight is exceptionally clear. The bright moonlight, unobstructed by clouds, shines on the plateau, casting a hazy glow on those bright natural creations.

Thanks to his excellent eyesight, Ritsu Narose easily spotted a large group of wriggling eels appearing on the ground in the distance.

Taking out the telescope that had been kept behind him, Takamatsu Deng quickly followed the direction pointed by Ritsu Narose and saw those strange creatures dancing slightly left and right in the moonlight.

"And orange..."

"That's the Wiggler Eel Queen," Naruse Ritsu took the initiative to introduce its characteristics after hearing Takamatsu Touma's curious words. "It only has a certain chance of appearing on full moon nights."

Watching Gao Songdeng looking at the world curiously like a newborn animal, a different kind of satisfaction gradually filled his heart.

Without staying here for too long, Takamatsu Deng and Naruse Ritsu came to a rock wall full of strange rocks.

Whenever Gao Songdeng saw these walls made of shells and corals, she would have the illusion of walking on the seabed.

"These are ancient fossils."

Ritsu Narose did not give too much introduction, because the traces left by the years on it were the most perfect annotation.

Looking away from the barnacle fossils and snail shell-shaped fossils, there are oval rocks on the other side that may make people with trypophobia feel uncomfortable. The holes in the rock surface contain ingredients called "pot clams".

"Depending on their quality, they are further divided into three categories: vine-colored abalone, carefully selected abalone, and specialty abalone."

"Next time there's a chance, let's all taste it together."

Noticing that the girl beside him seemed a little sleepy, the two of them set out on the road back to the camp.

When they passed the viewing platform again on the way, an unexpected figure in the distance suddenly attracted their attention.

Taking out the telescope, Gao Songdeng saw a furry creature flying in the air, which looked a bit like a bat but was much cuter than a bat.

"That's the [Floating Dragon]."

Seeing that Takamatsu Deng was a little curious about this, Ryu Narose simply sat down and slowly explained its habits.

As its name suggests, its greatest characteristic is its ability to rapidly absorb large quantities of air, transforming itself into a balloon-like form. As a flying dragon species that inhabits the Coral Plateau, the Air Dragon's primary diet is the eggs excreted by Coral Corals.

As if responding to what Mingse Ritsu said, the floating dragon, which was constantly harassed by the Fangyi Dragon in the distance, finally became angry and turned into a fluffy "balloon" floating in the air, ready to drive away these troublesome guys who disturbed its midnight snack.

As it continued to use air pressure to attack, the group of pterosaurs, knowing they were no match for it, flew away from the pink coral forest.

The farce in the distance finally came to an end. Just as Ritsu Narose was about to get up, he suddenly felt something warm leaning on his shoulder.

"lamp?"

"Um……"

Unable to resist the sleepiness, the girl could only manage a few responses before being enveloped by a tide of sleepiness and falling asleep.

68. Nuannuan Hunters, step out!

Closing the wooden door, the firelight and the voices of the girls in the camp were blocked out.

Walking out of the camp and into the night of the coral plateau, Nagasaki Suyo saw Narose Ritsu sitting cross-legged on a giant shell fossil.

The scabbard that was originally on his back was stuck in the soft ground. He was concentrating on looking at the plateau in the distance, with the cold moonlight still shining on his body.

"Su Shi, aren't you going to rest yet?"

Without looking back, Narose Rikumi determined the identity of the person based on the noise coming from behind him.

"What about Ritsu? Isn't he going back to camp?"

"you sure?"

Hearing this, Ritsu Narose's eyes looked extremely strange.

"Su Shi, are you sure you want me to sleep with you?"

"I--"

Hearing these blunt words, the girl's fair face instantly flushed red. But she didn't know how to defend herself, so she could only mutter about what had just happened.

"It's so close to the lamp..."

Pretending not to hear, Naruse Ritsu turned to talk about his plan: "The airship will appear at the nearby landing point early tomorrow morning. To prevent any monster harassment, I plan to check the surrounding environment in advance."

"Are you really not going to Miss Mello's place?"

"Why would Sushi think so?"

"..."

She didn't say anything. In fact, Nagasaki Suyo didn't understand why she suddenly mentioned the woman she saw today.

Although he looks out of place, his confident attitude and his indifference to other people's eyes are really enviable.

Moreover, the familiarity she showed towards Ritsu Narose in her words and deeds made a girl who claimed to be the first one to know him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Speaking of which...what is your relationship with Miss Mello?"

After a brief thought, Naruse Ritsu gave a tentative answer: "Non-blood siblings who grew up together?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the expression on Nagasaki Suyo's face was particularly wonderful.

Thinking that Nagasaki Sushi was Lin Bawu0久傂sulfur? Puzzled by her family background, Naruse Ritsu continued to explain, "It's rare for ancient dragons of different races to come together like us, so Sushi doesn't need to be too concerned."

The reasons for this situation are a bit complicated, but when you look into it... it just feels a bit outrageous.

First up are Hui-Hwai Dragon and Ming-Hai Dragon.

Many years ago, a Xuanhuilong that came out to bathe in the sea forgot to restrain its own power, and as a result, a young Mingbolong that was napping in the nearby sea was accidentally boiled unconscious by the high temperature sea water caused by her.

Because this Xuanhuilong was a special individual with high moral standards, she felt bad and simply took Mingbolong back for proper treatment.

Not long after, still in this sea full of stories, a dragon that was playing with electric fishing saw a comet falling from the sky and crashing into a nearby cliff.

At that time, Mingbolong's moral standards had not yet fallen to this level, so she took the initiative to capture the young Tianhuilong embedded in the rock wall and brought him back like she did with Xuanhuilong.

Finally, three ancient dragons with completely different properties but unexpectedly covering the three aspects of sea, land and air came together.

"I can't understand..." For this dramatic story, Nagasaki Suyo could only use these four words to describe her current mood.

"If you don't understand, just go to sleep."

Standing up, Naruse Ritsu pulled out the large sword stuck in the white sand. Holding it in his left hand, he prepared to change his position and continue observing the surroundings.

"We have to leave early tomorrow morning, so it would be better for Su Shi to go back and rest early."

After saying this, Naruse Ritsu waved goodbye to Nagasaki Suyo. When Nagasaki Suyo saw him again, it was already the next morning.

"Is this the equipment you were talking about?"

Looking at the pile of light blue equipment in the box, even the serious-looking Shiina Riki couldn't help but show an expression of surprise and curiosity.

"Yes."

After taking out the equipment from the box and laying them out, Ritsu Narushe looked at everyone present and said, "These equipments have been improved. You can tell how to put them on just by looking at them."

After saying that, Ritsu Narose walked outside the camp and waited - after all, he had no interest in staying and watching people change clothes.

After more than ten minutes, when Ritsu Naruse saw the dazzling birds on the distant plateau throwing flash bombs everywhere and disturbing people, the wooden door of the camp behind him was opened from the inside.

"How is it? How is it? Doesn't it look good?"

Chihaya Aine jumped out from behind the door lightly and struck several poses in succession as if imitating a model in a magazine.

After clapping perfunctorily, Ritsu Narose entered the camp to explain the effects of the Wind Dragon suit to everyone.

Equipment made with Wind Dragon as the material often has advantages in [Elf Protection], [Avoidance Performance], and [Ice Attribute].

The Elf Blessing will have the effect of reducing damage when the wearer is attacked; the improvement of avoidance performance will make the wearer's movements more agile, making it easier to dodge attacks; the enhancement of ice attributes and corresponding ice resistance will help regulate body temperature in high and low temperature environments.

"'Probability of reducing damage'... sounds like something from a game."

While turning back and forth to carefully observe this exquisite and beautiful equipment, Chihaya Aine expressed her thoughts.

"It's not heavy at all, and it feels cool and refreshing when I wear it!"

The cape on the back, made from wing membrane, still retains the original cross star pattern, which reminds people of butterflies flying in the wind when it flutters in the wind.

"Games?"

Recalling the gossip he'd heard from hunters in the past, Naruse Ritsu slowly said, "If you think about it this way, there's indeed a rumor that 'hunters wearing the Wind Dragon suit will have better luck.'"

"There's such an effect!?"

"But so-called 'better luck' is probably just that you'll collect more materials during missions than usual."

After saying this, Ritsu Narose led everyone who had changed into their equipment to leave the camp.

As the saying goes: Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse.

After everyone put on this set of equipment, the team's atmosphere instantly evolved from the previous "New World Tour Group" to a "Sightseeing and Check-in Newbie Intern Tour Group".

When they walked out of the camp, they saw an airship with a strong fantasy color floating quietly in the sky not far away.

After Ritsu Narose's introduction, everyone knew that this was the means of transportation they would take today.

"Um...how are we going to get up there?"

"Fly up."

"Eh?"

Not only Chihaya Aine, but everyone else's attention was attracted by Naruse Ritsu's answer.

"There's an area of ​​strong winds on the high platform to the northeast. Just put on the gliding suits I gave you earlier and you can take advantage of the updrafts there."

"……so?"

“So we flew straight up.”

"No, no, no! This is too fast anyway, right? Shouldn't we prepare first, like... uh, practice a little?"

“Practice makes the best practice.”

After estimating the altitude of the airship again, Chihaya Aine felt that the Wind Dragon Suit's effect in regulating body temperature was not as good as she had imagined.

She was a little sweaty.

69. Let’s get on board, meow!

Ritsu Narose was not talking nonsense. He was always fully prepared and it was impossible for him to just let the girls ascend to heaven with him on the spot.

When everyone reached the platform that Ritsu Narose mentioned, they saw that the airship that was originally floating high in the sky had descended to a position that was visible and reachable.

Since there was a Felyne in charge of controlling the airship, Ritsu Narose did not use her wings, but instead changed into a flying suit like the girls.

Without saying much, he chose to teach through practical actions.

Run up, sprint, and then spread your arms like a flying squirrel gliding among the branches of the woods, allowing the wind dragon wing membrane connecting your arms and body to be driven by the airflow.

Slightly adjusting the arc of his arm, he remained in this updraft in a fairly stable posture.

Making a gesture to the girls over there, Ritsu Narose waved to them to come over as soon as possible.

Seeing Ritsu Narose floating there so easily, everyone's originally tense mood was relieved a little.

However, what no one expected was that the first person to rush forward after Naruse Ritsu was not the most active Chihaya Aine, nor the seemingly brave Shiina Riki.

But it's a silent cat.

It is obviously a cat, but at this moment it is imitating a flying squirrel in nature.

Although Kaname's movements were not very standard, she still managed to take off after jumping out in the posture of a Filipino diver, and floated shakily below Ritsu Naruse.

Then he grabbed his armored calf and began to climb up.

"Eh...Eh?"

Before Chihaya Aine could be surprised for too long, Nagasaki Motoyo next to her also started to act.

Although her face was obscured by the hood of her dress, making it impossible to see her expression, the determination emanating from Nagasaki Suyo was almost tangible.
