I'm going to kill everyone who calls me Hill.

"It's okay, we still have guide insects."

This is when the guide insect comes in handy. The guide insect, which remembers the scent of the giant thief dragon, immediately marks out a path.

"Let's go! Let's catch up!"

(Revised) Chapter 14 Urd

Besides, the giant thief dragon was so hungry at this time that it didn't pay attention to the direction it was moving in. It just followed the place where it usually hunted. However, what it didn't notice was that the surrounding environment was changing rapidly. White fluff of some unknown substance was flying all over the sky, and the whole forest was covered with white snow.

A beautiful girl with a pure white veil sat quietly under the white fluff flying in the sky. There was a strange beauty in her just sitting there, a kind of lonely beauty, as if there was no life around her and it was lonely.

Gently picking up a flower covered with white fluff, the blooming flower withered and died in an instant, its life disappeared in a flash and turned into her nutrients, although this was not her intention.

"Hmm? Did you just barge in?"

When the giant thief dragon entered the white world, the girl had already noticed it, but she didn't care, because ordinary life could not get close to her, and the creatures that could get close to her were unwilling to approach her, because she was the existence that controlled death in this new continent.

"Roar!"

The big thief dragon, whose reason was overwhelmed by hunger and anger, didn't care who was in front of him. The only thought in his mind was eating, and he opened his bloody mouth towards the girl.

However, the girl was not panicked at all, and was even unusually calm. She was counting with great interest.

"Three, two, one."

As the countdown from the girl's mouth ended, the big thief dragon that had just opened its mouth wide and shown off its might collapsed to the ground.

If you look closely at its wounds, you will find that tiny hairs have grown in each wound. The hairs, like those in other parts of the body, are constantly growing with the help of the life energy of the giant thief dragon until they cover most of it.

"Well, let's go."

The girl raised her hand slightly, and the big thief dragon that had opened its mouth to bite her just now actually listened to her obediently, stood up like a tamed dog, and walked out of this silent area with stiff steps.

“Go find that existence. There is no need to come back, because you are already dead. Just turn that part of your life into nutrients to nourish the earth again.”

Following the girl's words, the big thief head walked back the way he came without looking back.

The girl was a little surprised and stopped where she was, whispering, "Is there someone similar to me? No... maybe she is purer than me, simply withering away, with life hidden in death. She is even more suitable for this job than me. When we find her, should we ask her if she wants to take over from me? That way, I can go out for more walks."

"Okay, break time is over, time to get back to work, I wonder what will fall today?"

The girl waved her hand casually, and a terrifying-looking dragon appeared in the air amid the flying white fluff. It was covered in a coat of flesh and blood, like a zombie.

"Speaking of which, has the Molten Mountain Dragon come to the New World? We need to give her a grand funeral. Its energy is enough to promote a new round of evolution for the entire continent."

"I just hope that this time, the little guy won't disturb me while I'm working."

——————————————————————————————————

On the other side, Xier and the other girl who were tracking the trail of the giant thief dragon followed the guidance of the guide insect and moved closer to the giant thief dragon step by step. However, they didn't know that their opponent had completely changed his appearance in just a short while.

"Xi'er, here!"

Since he couldn't get close to the guide insect, Shirahoshi had to follow behind Seele to help her find traces of the Megathias. After all, the guide insect only played an auxiliary role and could not help the hunter grasp the status of tracking the target.

"This is?"

Xier walked over and saw the clue that Bai Xing had found - a piece of knocked down tree with bloodstains on it.

"It looks like our prey has been seriously injured. If I'm not mistaken, its physical strength has reached its limit. We should be able to find it soon."

Bai Xing stretched his muscles and said, "I must show my power this time!"

Just as Xi'er and Shirahoshi were about to speak out, they noticed something unusual happening around them. Then a huge thief dragon covered in white fur appeared in front of Xi'er and Shirahoshi.

"This is?"

Xier was stunned for a moment, and then she realized from the wounds on the giant thief dragon that this was the one they were tracking.

However, the reaction of the guide insect next surprised Xier. The guide insect, which usually emitted green light, turned blue the moment the giant thief dragon appeared, and then quickly retracted into the insect cage.

"Blue? What's going on?"

There was no time to think about it. Xier's top priority at the moment was to face this injured big thief dragon again.

"I come!"

Bai Xing shouted loudly, then raised his two swords and slashed towards the big thief dragon's body. As soon as the two swords hit the big thief dragon, Bai Xing felt that the feel was wrong. The scales that originally required energy to cut through were now as crispy as potato chips. The two swords cut the scales into pieces the moment they came into contact, and the meat protected under the scales no longer had its usual feel, like tofu that had lost its vitality.

The gap between them was so huge that White Star immediately retreated and did not take this opportunity to continue attacking. Caution is always the first priority when hunting.

"White Star!"

Xier, who was standing aside without taking any action, also noticed something was wrong. She originally thought that the giant thief dragon was going to attack them by surprise, but when the giant thief dragon appeared and Bai Xing had already chopped it down, Xier's behavior made her alert.

The eyes of the big thief dragon had obviously lost their luster, and its chaotic eyes were like a dead fish on a chopping board, reflecting a strange light under the sunlight.

Something is wrong!

Xier's brain was working rapidly as she thought about the difference. They had been separated from the Great Thief Dragon for less than ten minutes. What exactly happened in these ten minutes?

Xier had long noticed the white substances on the body of the Great Thief Dragon. Those substances seemed to be parasitic on the Great Thief Dragon. This kind of parasitic relationship often appears on the body of the dragon to achieve a symbiotic relationship, just like the Broken Dragon.

At first, Xier also thought so, but Xier noticed that the parasites on the giant thief dragon seemed to grow only on the wounds, as if they were corroding the giant thief dragon.

What Xier is more concerned about is the abnormality of the guide insect. It's not that the guide insect will not change color. When encountering dangerous situations, the guide insect will turn red to warn the hunter, but blue... This is a change that the captain of the investigation team has not mentioned. Xingchen cannot hide this, so this change must be not recorded in Xingchen.

"Xi'er! It's wrong!"

At this time, Bai Xing also returned to Xier's side in a few jumps. She said solemnly: "The feeling of this big thief dragon is wrong. It's like chopping a lifeless corpse."

As soon as Shirahoshi chopped it down, she felt the familiar feel, and now she remembered that it was the same feel when she used a knife to dismember a long-dead dragon and extract materials from it.

"That's right, look at its eyes."

Xier nodded and pointed at the eyes of the big thief dragon. Bai Xing looked over and naturally noticed the strange divine light of the big thief dragon at this time.

"Ugh! That's disgusting."

Bai Xing did not hide her disgust at all. She quickly turned her gaze away and stopped looking at those strange eyes. She felt that if she continued looking, she would have a nightmare.

While the two were talking, the big thief dragon moved. Xier thought it was going to attack, so she quickly raised her weapon. However, what Xier didn't expect was that the big thief dragon didn't care about the two people in front of it at all. It was as if it didn't see them and continued to move forward.

"Ah this..."

Xier and Baixing stared blankly at the big thief dragon who continued to walk. Why were they being ignored?

"What on earth is going on?"

Xier was a little confused about the situation. Could it be that this big thief dragon was coming to find them?

Meanwhile, Bai Xing on the side seemed to have thought of something. She concentrated her attention on her perception and 'looked' at the Great Thief Dragon.

As mentioned before, White Star is a high-energy aggregate, a body controlled by a cocoon from the center of the deepest earth veins in the New World.

The creature in the cocoon is still immature. Even if it can remotely control Shirahoshi, this control is limited. The farther away, the weaker the control. In other words, Shirahoshi's dragon abilities will be revealed or suppressed depending on the distance, including perception. This is why Shirahoshi failed to discover the Molten Mountain Dragon in time. Activating this perception for a long time is a burden to her original body and her current body.

Now that she has come to the New World, some of Shirahoshi's original abilities have returned to her body. However, out of habit, Shirahoshi did not choose to open her perception when facing a giant thief dragon. That would be like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

But the strange phenomena happening now made her suspect that an ancient dragon was at work.

Sure enough, after Bai Xing opened her perception, she discovered that the big thief dragon in front of her had a very strong ancient dragon aura.

Of course, it is impossible for the Giant Thief Dragon to become an ancient dragon, so the source of these auras is the white hairs, and it is they that influence the actions of the Giant Thief Dragon.

"Xi'er! It's the ancient dragon! The Great Thief Dragon is now being controlled by the ancient dragon!"

Bai Xing closed his perception and said to Xier.

"Ancient Dragon?!"

Xier showed a hint of surprise at this expected yet somewhat bizarre answer. Yes, apart from ancient dragons, which other creatures have the ability to change other dragons?

This kind of ancient dragon that can control and change other dragons has appeared before. Just a few years ago, the mad dragon disease caused by an ancient dragon named Tianhuilong was a means of parasitizing other creatures and making them go crazy.

Xier had naturally heard of the horrific rumor. All creatures in the area where the incident occurred went berserk and died suddenly. If it weren't for the hunter who stepped forward and defeated the Tianhui Dragon, that area would probably have become a dead place.

Thinking of this, Xier couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. She couldn't help but compare the phenomenon before her with the mad dragon disease.

Although there is no phenomenon of frenzy or mutation, there is nothing wrong with controlling the dragon. No matter what the other party thinks, this dragon must not be allowed to leave here.

"Shirahoshi. We have to kill it right here and there!"

Xier turned to look at her partner, who naturally nodded in agreement.

"Whatever its purpose, I will never allow a similar danger to appear in the New World."

Xier was determined in her heart. She drew out her weapon and prepared for a fight to the death. She had never fought against a dragon with madness before and didn't know what methods a dragon with a similar state would have. Therefore, she could only kill it here as quickly as possible in the shortest time possible.

(Please lend me a helping hand!)

Xier said secretly in her heart, although she didn't know the meaning of this sentence, but every time she silently recited this sentence she could stimulate her abilities and make her attacks more powerful.

"Take the move!"

Xier gathered all her strength and swung her weapon.

Seele, the person involved, may not have felt it, but Shirahoshi, who was very close to Seele, suddenly felt an extremely powerful energy from her. In Shirahoshi's sight, Seele's hair and eyes turned scarlet, just like what he had seen before.

Xier, whose color changed, showed a completely different personality from before. She no longer used graceful and agile moves to attack the Great Thief Dragon, but instead launched an extremely violent attack, as if she was holding a greatsword instead of an insect-controlling stick. Fortunately, the weapon forged with the unknown material was strong enough, and Xier's violent use did not affect its sharpness. In fact, in Xier's rough attack, it became more handy, as if it was born for violent people.

"Die!"

Xier waved the insect-control stick, and the sharp blade cut the body of the giant thief dragon again and again.

Xier's attack seemed to have finally attracted the attention of the Great Thief Dragon, but the Great Thief Dragon did not attack. Instead, after noticing the energy erupting from Xier, its eyes were drawn to her.

Then the white fluff on its body began to float away with the wind, and soon all of it fell away from the body of the giant thief dragon.

"boom!"

After most of the fluff fell off the giant dinosaur, its huge body fell to the ground with a bang and stopped moving, as if it was really dead.

"Eh?"

Xier was prepared for a fight to the death, but after a series of attacks, not only was she not attacked, but the big thief dragon fell to the ground.

This unusual sense of gap made Xier stop attacking. She went around to the front of the big thief dragon and saw the current state of the big thief dragon.

"Ah... is he dead?"

Xier exclaimed in disbelief. She clearly didn't attack much, but the big thief dragon was already dead.

"Xi'er, the ancient dragon's energy has disappeared."

Bai Xing opened his perception again and told Xier the result.

"How is this going?"

Xier was a little confused. This sudden death completely messed up Xier's thinking.

"The ancient dragon's energy should come from the white fur on its body, but look."

Bai Xing pointed at the body of the Great Thief Dragon and said, "The fluff that was so abundant just now has disappeared, and only a small part is left."

"really."

Following what Bai Xing said, Xier observed the body of the giant thief dragon. Just as Bai Xing said, the fluff was now only a pile, and it was still floating away.

"I'll collect some first."

Xier collected some of the fluff into the wooden barrel she carried with her, and then said seriously, "Since this phenomenon is caused by the ancient dragon, we have to go back and report to the commander-in-chief."

"Well, let's go. This giant thief dragon is probably dead. Let the logistics team take it back. This special individual cannot be left here."

After that, Shirahoshi sent a flare into the sky, and then the two of them quickly moved towards the stars.

(Revised) Chapter 15: Secret Meeting with Ancient Dragons

The Miasma Valley is an important part of the ecology of the New World. The energy of all dead lives will pass through here and then enter the earth veins, becoming a source of energy to nourish new life. This is also a place that the New World Investigation Team has never reached.

The environment here is a dead end for any life. The strong miasma environment causes all creatures to be slowly eroded. Only a small number of creatures have evolved organs that can adapt to the miasma environment and can survive in the miasma.

However, there is an unknown place at the bottom of the Miasma Valley. Not only is there no miasma there, but the environment is also pleasant, as if part of the coral plateau above was transferred here.

"Hahaha, it's so comfortable. Sure enough, the hot spring here is the most suitable for me!"
