The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　Hearing Elkamea say that, Giger wanted to kick her too, but he was worried that she would bury him there if he did, so he had to suppress his impulse and continue to follow the three of them.

　After traversing rolling hills, the four quickly arrived at a meadow next to a river. Gathering information on the ground is an essential skill for hunters. As Giger searched for traces of the Great Bird, a few drops of viscous liquid suddenly fell on his head. Just as Giger was about to curse the birds for defecating indiscriminately, more drops fell, and a few landed on his hand. Giger looked down suspiciously and, seeing the blood-red color, suddenly realized that this was not bird excrement.

　Before Giger could react, Kanon rammed into him, his powerful body sending Giger flying. "Cough cough, if you don't want to bring people, just say so. Killing them is fine." Before Giger could finish speaking, a male fire dragon suddenly landed where Giger had just been standing. Its massive body crashed to the ground, creating a cloud of smoke, which immediately made Giger's eyes widen.

　Before Elkameya and the others could figure out what was happening, just as Giger thought he had won the lottery, a huge black figure landed beside them.

　After the Black Eclipse Dragon landed, Giger clearly felt a tremor in the ground through his legs. Before the four of them could react, a thick black mist had already spread around them. Elkameya had never seen such a creature before. Before she could react, the group of them felt something was wrong; their limbs were weak and their heads were throbbing.

　Kanon struggled to lift the Diablos Spear, intending to attack the Black Eclipse Dragon, while Gigg gritted his teeth, trying to ignite the large explosive bomb in his backpack. Before anyone could take action, a thick cloud of fog flew over, and with a "bang," Gigg and Kanon were blasted high into the air, then crashed to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

　Elkameya quickly lunged to the edge of the dense fog, avoiding the explosion, but was then swatted away by the Black Devouring Dragon. Sakordi was furthest from the fog and was constantly closing the distance between himself and the monster. Before Sakordi could get far away, another cloud of fog flew towards him from a curve. Sakordi held up his Steel Impact Crossbow in front of him to try to block the explosion, but the fog did not explode; it simply dispersed immediately after touching Sakordi.

　Before Sakhodi could figure out what was happening, his consciousness began to blur due to the large amount of dense fog he had inhaled. Before his consciousness completely disappeared, Sakhodi gritted his teeth, poured himself a bottle of antidote, and ate a fruit that could dispel poison.

　After landing, the Black Eclipse Dragon instinctively sprayed two sprays of scale powder at the upright creatures, then ignored the hunters and turned to enjoy the fire dragon.

　In the last four-person team, Sakhodi was the first to wake up, followed by Elkameya. After waking up, the two immediately went to check on Kanon and Giger's injuries. Fortunately, their external injuries were only fractures, and after being given nutritional supplements and sleeping, they were fine.

　That's how powerful the hunter is.

　PS: First update! First update!

　I recommend a book: "In Mygo, I Just Want an Easy Romance".

　[mygo] + [Simulator]

　Zhuang Che, who unexpectedly obtained a dating simulator, was transported to a charming music anime.

　He had hoped to encounter a light and romantic relationship, but unexpectedly, the girls he met all had their own secrets and stories.

　They may be hypocritical, harboring ambitions for restoration; or they may come from fallen families, their hearts as fragile as a powder keg; or they may be insecure yet charming, turning into a gravity black hole; or they may be outspoken, exerting equal pressure on all beings.

　There's also Chihaya Aine, who returned home in a sorry state after failing her tribulation, and Wakaba Mutsumi, the Grandmaster Swordswoman who could break four defenses with a single sword strike.

　Zhuang Che was like a pure white seagull, who accidentally fell into a dark and deep swamp.

　But because he has a simulator, he is very confident that he can unravel the complex interpersonal relationships, overcome them one by one, and achieve a perfect ending.

　Until the girls' behavior became increasingly outrageous.

　Zhuang Checai began to have doubts, but eventually realized the truth.

　"..."

　"Wow, why didn't you tell me beforehand that this was an online game?!"

　Volume 1: 145 - The Salon King

　After Elkameya and the others returned to town, they immediately went to...

　The dragon-man elders at the Hunter's Guild reported on the situation. This invincible squad had hunted down Poison Birds, Fire Dragons, and even several Diablos, but this time they were defeated by an unknown black monster. News of this unknown black monster quickly spread throughout the Hunter's Guild.

　After being given the nutrient solution, Kanon and Giger's injuries no longer hindered their actions. The four of them sat in the bar drinking beer. In front of Elkameya was a plate of herbivorous dragon meat steak. After drinking the beer in her glass in one gulp, Elkameya licked the foam from her lips, cut the meat steak on the plate with a knife, and said, "It seems that the matter of the giant bird is closely related to this black monster."

　"That black monster should also be some kind of dragon species, the kind with a pretty high ecological niche. It hunts fire dragons, or rather, it feeds on fire dragons. As far as I can remember, there don't seem to be any dragon species here that would eat fire dragons."

　Herbivorous dragon steaks are marinated in salt, then roasted with spices and honey. Elkameya particularly loves this melt-in-your-mouth texture. The meat taken from wild herbivorous dragons has coarser fibers and is tougher, while these farmed dragons are captured, bred, and then fed with nutritious and refined feed. Herbivorous dragons raised in this way have more tender meat, but they are more expensive.

　Moreover, the first bite of this herbivorous dragon meat steak was incredibly delicious, but the second bite was greasy, and the third bite felt a bit off. The hunters all said that the meat was strange in a way that was hard to describe. After being defeated by the black monster this time, Elkameya inexplicably wanted to eat it again. In order to neutralize the greasiness, she chose potatoes and carrots as side dishes, and Elkameya stuffed them into her mouth as well.

　"The lads are all here. Looks like I've arrived just in time."

　The wind chimes at the door rang out crisply. "It's the Dragon Clan Elder from the Gathering Hall." Although Elkameya wanted to see Gigg make a fool of himself, she decided to give Gigg some face in front of the Dragon Clan Elder.

　"Has the elder found any information? Should we issue an emergency notice?"

　The dragon-human elder ordered a cup of elven deer milk with honey and told Elkameya's team about the Black Devouring Dragon. "Elder, according to your description, the Black Devouring Dragon isn't a large monster, right? It sounds like it should be about the size of a horned dragon."

　"In fact, according to the information Elder Dongdorma gave me, the size of the Black Erosion Dragon should be similar to that of the Fire Dragon. Of course, its size may increase after it transforms into the Heavenly Return Dragon."

　Elkameya thought about it carefully and said, "But the Black Eclipse Dragon we encountered was very large. Although we only saw it once, it hunted a Fire Dragon. If we compare its size to the Fire Dragon's, the Black Eclipse Dragon was almost twice the size of the Fire Dragon, right, Kanon?"

　"Yes, Miss."

　Soon, a new quest was posted in the Hunter's Guild Hall: an investigation of the Black Eclipse Dragon. Due to the Black Eclipse Dragon's special nature, the Hunter's Guild Hall's attitude towards it was to hunt it down, rather than to repel it like they would Lao-Shan Lung.

　On the other hand, the Black Eclipse Dragon was unaware that she had been added to the hunters' kill list. However, unless a hunter with the physique of Azure Star or an elite hunter formed a large-scale group to hunt her down, it would be difficult for ordinary hunters to cause her any harm.

　The little girl lay leisurely on the sandy platform, basking in the sun, while the horned dragon below was enjoying the cactus. Don't be fooled by the fact that the horned dragon is a herbivore and therefore has a gentle temperament. In fact, the horned dragon has the most violent temper of all monsters except for Elder Dragons, and it will kill any creature that enters its territory.

　In the sea of ​​sand, the Sand Dragon King emerged to breathe. This ichthyosaur species, which lives in desert areas, has a skeleton similar to that of flying wyverns. Although it can move freely in the fine sand, it cannot fly. It has a flat head and a dorsal fin with paralyzing toxins. As a creature like the Blue Velociraptor King, the Sand Dragon King also has its own minions, the Sand Dragons. Usually, it will silently approach small creatures in the desert with its minions and then launch a surprise attack.

　In terms of size, the Sand King is not inferior to the Rathalos, but in terms of attack methods, the Sand King is far inferior to the Rathalos. Therefore, this group attack method makes up for the Sand King's shortcomings in hunting.

　The young girl was suddenly drawn to the noisy sounds in the desert. The Sand King's eyesight is highly degenerate, but its hearing is extremely developed. Even if the Sand King is buried in the sand, it can still determine the direction of its prey. There are many eyewitness reports that the Sand King is extremely afraid of loud noises, so when the Diablos roars in the desert, the Sand Kings and Sand Dragons around it will leap out of the ground.

　However, due to its relatively weak strength, the Sand King would usually choose to run away when it sees a large monster like a Diablos. But this Sand King was twenty meters long, which was no less than that of the Diablos. So the Sand King decided to take a daring gamble.

　The Sand King's attack method is usually to lurk in the sand, circling its prey, and then leaping up to attack. But this time, before the Sand King could attack, the little girl had already transformed back into a Black Eclipse Dragon and quickly pounced on the Diablos. Her sword-like claws directly tore through the Diablos's carapace, and the Diablos took the opportunity to burrow underground. This is another major killing move of the Diablos besides its charge attack, but the Diablos cannot stay underground for too long; it needs to breathe.

　The Black Eclipse Dragon's attack speed made the sand...

　Before the Dragon King could react, the Sand Dragon King decisively changed his target to the Black Eclipse Dragon. The Sand Dragon King and his minions were quietly swimming around the Black Eclipse Dragon. Then, he leaped up from the sand sea and attacked the Black Eclipse Dragon in a dragon chariot. At this moment, the Horned Dragon also seized the opportunity and suddenly emerged from under the Black Eclipse Dragon's feet, trying to knock the Black Eclipse Dragon away.

　However, the two dragons attacked skillfully. The Black Devourer quickly jumped back to dodge the Horned Dragon's burrowing attack, then extended its wing claws to grab the jumping Sand King. The sharp wing claws firmly gripped the Sand King's body, and then it threw the Sand King towards the Horned Dragon. The two nearly twenty-meter-long dragons collided, instantly causing tons of damage to each other.

　After that, things became simple. The heart and thigh meat of the Diablos were the favorite food of the Black Eclipse. After biting open the Diablos's abdomen, the Black Eclipse would stick its head in and tear into the Diablos's still warm heart. This nutritious and delicious food was also very popular with hunters. However, usually the heart of the prey would be blown up or riddled with holes by the hunter in the fierce battle, so a complete Diablos heart was very rare.

　The result of the Black Dragon lifting the Sand King and slamming it onto the Diablos was that the Diablos's giant horn pierced straight through the Sand King's body. The Sand King's appearance was somewhat strange, but its meat tasted surprisingly good. Moreover, the Sand King's large liver also became a favorite of young girls. In addition, there was a dish called Sand King Shirako sashimi on the Sand King's body, which was a unique and delicious ingredient from the Sand King. It had a sweet taste and an unforgettable aftertaste.

　The little girl looked at the bones scattered on the ground and seemed to remember something.

　PS: Second update! (Finding information was such a hassle)

　PS2: You can probably guess what that alabaster is; it's actually the seminal vesicle of a male alabaster!

　Volume 1: 146 - How to Eat the Daimyo Shield Crab

　On the surface of the Xilong Ocean, the little girl drifted leisurely on the water due to the sea breeze. Her slender black tail occasionally brushed the surface of the water. Although the little girl did not know how to fish, it did not stop her from eating fish. If a fish came close, the little girl would use her tail to stun it, then grab it and stuff it into her mouth to eat.

　However, this body of water is actually the territory of aquatic beasts. Aquatic beasts and aquatic animals usually form a group of ten to twenty aquatic beasts and live together in a body of water. Generally, there will be an aquatic beast that serves as the male leader of the group and has the right to mate with all the females in the group until another aquatic beast defeats the current leader and takes its place as the new leader. This social structure is very similar to that of some felines on land.

　Although the Water Beast and the Aquatic Beast are both sea dragon species, the Water Beast looks more like a giant lizard. Its diet is very diverse, including small monsters such as shelled creatures, aquatic creatures, and herbivorous dragons near the shore. When food is scarce, it will also feed on algae. Naturally, a young girl floating on the sea surface becomes the Water Beast's target. Moreover, in deep water, the Water Beast can demonstrate powerful swimming ability and hunt with greater speed.

　Using its physical advantages, the water beast swam towards the young girl. Just as it was about to bite, its dark claws instantly embedded themselves in its body. The water beast cried out in pain, desperately rolling around in the water, trying to escape. However, the Black Devouring Dragon had already lunged forward and bit down. Its fine, sharp fangs immediately pierced through the water beast's spongy skin. The slippery sensation made the Black Devouring Dragon hesitate for a moment. The water beast seized the opportunity to twist its body and escape. However, the water beast's spongy skin was not very hard, and a large piece was torn off. The Black Devouring Dragon spread its wings and flew into the air. The water beast's spongy skin tasted similar to slime, but as for the taste, the Black Devouring Dragon chewed it a couple of times and then spat it out; it tasted like rubber.

　The sea creature, no longer paying attention to the massive black creature in the sky, was about to turn and flee when the sea dragon, which preys on sea creatures, swam over. Sea dragons are among the top predators in the ocean; the movement of seawater and the scent of blood are their means of tracking prey. Moreover, in the water, sea dragons swim faster than sea creatures and possess extremely powerful explosive force. Before the sea creature could find a suitable route to escape, the sea dragon had already bitten its tail. Then, the electric shell on its back opened, and the accumulated current, combined with the conductivity of water, paralyzed the sea creature, rendering it unable to even turn around and bite back.

　Take advantage of its illness and kill it.

　Taking advantage of the opportunity, the sea dragon coiled around the water beast, its sixteen sharp, tooth-like protrusions on its two jaws immediately clamping down firmly on the beast's body. Its one-meter-long forepaws then plunged into the beast's throat, causing thick blood to gush out and stain the seawater red. Severely injured, the water beast thrashed about twice before becoming still. The remaining aquatic beasts immediately scattered and fled. Seeing this, the sea dragon released all the current from the electric shell on its back, creating a powerful, wide-range discharge. The aquatic beasts didn't even have time to run far before being struck by the current and floating belly-up to the surface.

　After releasing an excessive amount of electricity, the sea dragon felt a bit tired, and its lungs were running low on air. It had no choice but to sway its body to surface and gasp for air.

　As the sea dragon took a deep breath and surfaced, the Black Eclipse Dragon swooped down from the sky. Using its weight, the Black Eclipse Dragon slammed the sea dragon back into the sea, and its sharp claws immediately grabbed the sea dragon's body. The sea dragon twisted its body, trying to entangle the Black Eclipse Dragon, but this sea dragon was only twenty-five meters long, and was not at an advantage in terms of size and length.

　To escape the Black Dragon, the Sea Dragon released its last bit of electricity, but this electricity did not cause any harm to the Black Dragon. However, the Sea Dragon was gradually losing its vitality due to fatigue and lack of oxygen. The Black Dragon lowered its head, bit the Sea Dragon's neck, and dragged it towards the shore.

　After reaching the shore, with a "crack," the Black Dragon crushed the Sea Dragon's spine. The Sea Dragon's short, sturdy limbs and strong tail served as powerful tools for swimming, and the meat from these parts was tender and chewy, especially the meat from the tail, which was very popular among hunters.

　The young girl disliked the intestines and stomach of the sea dragon, as they smelled poisonous. However, these internal organs attracted the Shield Crab. Shield Crabs are omnivorous, generally feeding on insects, plants, and carrion. Moreover, according to the Hunter's Guild, Shield Crabs even prey on humans, so they are listed as one of the dangerous monsters by the guild.

　The shield crab used its powerful claws to tear apart the remaining sea dragon entrails that the Black Devourer had eaten, and then stuffed them into its mouth. The Black Devourer bit down on the rather large shield crab, its fine dragon teeth locking the crab's shell shut. Although the shield crab's four lower limbs were slender, they still had considerable leg strength, but they were no match for the Black Devourer's wing claws.

　The Black Eclipse Dragon grabbed the Shield Crab's claws and lower limbs, forcefully slamming it onto the rocks on the ground, sending the Shield Crab away. The Black Eclipse Dragon bit open the Shield Crab's shell, took out the crab meat and a large clump of crab roe, stuffed them into its mouth, and showed a satisfied look. Compared to those small crabs, this kind of crab was much more comfortable for the Black Eclipse Dragon to eat.

　At this moment, the Black Eclipse Dragon remembered something she had forgotten: she had a chef, and one of the upright creatures was an excellent cook. Realizing this, "thud!" another shield crab fell onto the reef. The Black Eclipse Dragon happily began an extermination massacre of the shield crabs in this area, killing and eating as it went, and finally even caught a famous shield crab.

　Inside Wanmintang, Xiangling was preparing today's dishes when her young daughter ran in excitedly.

　"Hey, Xiao Guang, what brings you here? Did your sister Ke Qing and mother Gan Yu bring you back from Sumeru?"

　"Crab, let's eat!"

　"Crabs, do you want to eat crabs? I'll go buy some for you. But it's not the season when crabs are at their fattest yet. If you want to eat them, you can come in October. Crab roe noodles and butter crab are both delicious."

　While wiping the water off her hands, Xiangling packed her things to take the little girl to buy some crabs. But before Xiangling could get ready, the little girl had already thrown the famous shield crab and several shield crabs in front of Xiangling. The huge shield crabs startled Xiangling so much that she quickly covered her chest, since the shield crabs were almost as tall as Xiangling.

　Xiangling swallowed hard. She could tell that the crabs were very fresh, and judging by their size, one crab claw would be enough to fill her up. Moreover, there were several more here. In addition, the ingredients that the young girl always brought were... well, Xiangling found them all very rare, since she had never seen these ingredients before.

　"Is anyone in the shop? Xiangling, I want to eat boiled fish with shrimp dumplings. Oh my, Xiaoguang is here too. Look, this is such a big crab. Xiangling, where did you buy it?"

　"These are the ingredients that Xiaoguang brought. I'm wondering what to cook them with."

　PS: First update!

　PS2: Thank you all for your support, love you all, dear readers~

　Speaking of which, I really want to eat the famous shield crab. With its huge claws and roe, I could definitely eat my fill!

　Volume 1: 147 - Mad Dragon Disease

　When the young girl brought the shield crabs, she had already removed their shells. Speaking of which, the Daimyo shield crab that the young girl caught was twelve meters long, and the skull of a Monoblos on its back accounted for half of it. The largest Daimyo shield crab observed by the Hunter's Guild was fourteen meters long, which means that the Monoblos skull was seven meters long. This size has already exceeded the size of the largest Monoblos observed so far.

　Scholars speculate that the reason might be that the Daimyo Shield Crab secretes a special fluid that causes the Monoblos skull to continuously enlarge to adapt to the Daimyo Shield Crab's body size. However, the reason has not been found in the end. It is unclear whether the Monoblos skull carried by the Daimyo Shield Crab was an abnormally large individual in life, or it is a matter of bodily fluids.

　Having learned from her previous experience dealing with Anjanath and Rathalos, Xiangling expertly disassembled the Daimyo's Shield Crab, removing the crab roe, innards, gills, claws, and lower limbs. After cleaning the shell, she steamed it in a specially made large pot. She also mixed some crab meat with the roe, placed it inside the crab shell, and roasted it over an open flame. The beautiful crimson crab leg meat and the savory, fragrant crab roe blended together perfectly.

　The delicate texture and rich aroma even make one curious about the taste of the crab shell.

　The shield crab is cleaned and cut into small pieces. Some are coated with flour, deep-fried until golden brown, and then stir-fried with seasonings. The crab meat is fragrant after cooking, and a bite reveals a rich aroma. Other pieces are stir-fried with minced garlic. The right heat keeps the crab meat moist and plump, and the aroma of the stir-fried garlic is enough to make your mouth water.

　The roe and leg meat of the Daimyo Crab are considered top-quality ingredients. However, when Xiangling and Hutao picked up the heavy crab claws with their hands, they couldn't help but look at each other and burst out laughing.

　"Hahaha, Xiang, Xiangling, what are you laughing at?"

　"I... I don't know either, I just couldn't help but laugh when I saw such big crab claws."

　The little girl was squinting as she spooned crab meat into her mouth. Sure enough, cooked crab meat tasted better than raw. Xiangling even used some of the crab roe to make crab roe tofu for the little girl. The tender tofu swayed around the edge of the bowl, and the rich crab roe was stir-fried to release its oil. Finally, broth was added for seasoning. Although the little girl didn't particularly like bean products, she quite liked this dish, since there was more crab roe than tofu.

　On the other side, the Hunter's Guild also formulated a new plan to hunt down the Black Eclipse Dragon. The first step of the plan was to request the support of high-ranking hunters. Yes, the first step of the plan was to request support. After all, in such a small place, Elkameya's team, which could hunt fire dragons and even several horned dragons, was definitely worthy of being called a hero team. However, the previous time was their first time meeting an "elder dragon". After all, the Black Eclipse Dragon is different from fire dragons and horned dragons. The Black Eclipse Dragon in its berserk state truly possesses the danger level of an elder dragon.

　“So, Elder, what we should do now is…” Elkameya finished her beer; she had been waiting for the mission to defeat the Black Devourer.

　"If you can avoid it, then avoid it. If you really can't avoid it, then you can only pray for good luck." The dragon-human elder didn't have any suitable solutions either. The strongest hunters here had only ever hunted horned dragons, and they had hardly ever seen any ancient dragons, let alone hunted them.

　"What if it attacks the stronghold? Are we just going to sit here and wait to die?"

　"The dragon-slaying cannon on the city wall is still usable. That's the cannon we used to defeat Lao-Shan Lung."

　"Would it work on the Black Eclipse Dragon?"

　"I think it's probably useless, but it can serve as a deterrent." The dragon-human elder and Elkameya didn't have much hope for it, especially Elkameya, who knew the strength of that black erosion dragon. She didn't think the dragon-slaying cannon would still be useful, especially since it was an ancient thing from who-knows-how-many years ago.

　But that's all they have at the moment. It was the same when they defeated Lao-Shan Lung a few years ago. Dozens of fire dragons were circling in the air, and Lao-Shan Lung intended to destroy the town, but in the end, with the help of the hunters, they changed the direction of Lao-Shan Lung and saved the town.

　Elkameya volunteered to investigate the Black Corruption Dragon's whereabouts, but was stopped by the Dragon Clan elders. They were sent back by the Black Corruption Dragon in a single encounter. Fortunately, only two of them suffered minor injuries in that incident, and there were no serious injuries or deaths. However, no one can guarantee that no one will be injured next time.

　"But even if we don't fight the Black Devouring Dragon head-on, the Mad Dragon Virus will still infect other creatures. If we don't deal with it soon, the ecosystem here will be destroyed sooner or later."

　So far, only Elkameya's team has seen the Black Eclipse Dragon. Elkameya is now focused on defeating the Black Eclipse Dragon. What is certain now is that the fundamental reason for the decline in the number of Great Birds is the Black Eclipse Dragon. The Black Eclipse Dragons hunted near the stronghold are like a time bomb. Once it explodes, the impact on the ecosystem, that is, the power of the explosion, will be immeasurable.

　In the woods outside the stronghold, the giant bird was sleeping on the ground. Suddenly, a black mist came out of the sleeping giant bird's mouth. The giant bird then struggled to stand up, its eyes immediately turned red, and it cried out loudly a few times before charging towards the other giant birds in its territory.

　The other giant birds were foraging when they suddenly saw one of their kind running over. Thinking it wanted to join them, the berserk dragon-transformed giant bird pecked at its brethren's ears, tearing them to shreds. The surrounding giant birds cried out in confusion. The giant birds of the same kind had a good relationship and they had no idea what this giant bird was up to. However, the berserk dragon-transformed giant bird already possessed the strength of a black wolf bird, and then it bit all of its brethren to death.

　At the boundary between the forest and the ocean, the group of red Velociraptors also developed the same symptoms as the Great Bird. After waking up, three red Velociraptors were covered in black and had bloodshot eyes. Upon waking, the three red Velociraptors attacked the red Velociraptor king and the other red Velociraptors.

　Although the Red Velociraptor King was much larger than the Red Velociraptors and tried its best to shake off the three berserk Red Velociraptors, the fearless Red Velociraptors still managed to kill the Red Velociraptor King and its kin. After that, the three berserk Red Velociraptors ran towards the herbivorous dragons on the grassland.

　Inside the Hunter's Guild Hall, new quests were quickly posted on the notice board: to eliminate the Berserker-Transformed Great Jaggi and the Berserker-Transformed Red Velociraptor.

　Upon hearing this, Elkameya immediately accepted the commission to eliminate the berserk giant bird. During this time, she had been studying the ecology of the Black Devouring Dragon. Kanon, Sakhodi, and Gig also offered many opinions and suggestions, and they all agreed that this was a good opportunity.

　PS: Second update!

　Volume 1: Chapter 148 - Moving on to the Next Stop

　[Intelligence Update] The New Continent Investigation Team has always believed that Wang Ming, the Black Eclipse Dragon, will definitely molt into a Heavenly Returning Dragon. After all, with her physical qualities and abilities, even if a Black Eclipse Dragon molts into a Heavenly Returning Dragon before her, Bai Feng and the others believe that Wang Ming will definitely bite the Heavenly Returning Dragon to death and then molt into a new Heavenly Returning Dragon herself. However, for them, they can only hope that Wang Ming's molting period comes as late as possible.

　The giant bird, its beak wide open, charged towards Gig. Gig raised his greatsword to block it. The giant bird cried out and slammed its beak heavily into Gig's greatsword, sending Gig flying. Kanon immediately stepped between the giant bird and Gig to prevent the bird from charging at Gig. After landing, Gig rolled several times before stopping. He quickly gulped down a nutrient solution and then ate a Delight Fruit.

　Sakhodi fired several ice bullets that hit the giant bird. Seeing that the giant bird's attention was diverted, Elkameya immediately slid to the side of the giant bird, raised her hammer and smashed it down hard. To Elkameya's surprise, the giant bird swung its body and launched a tail whip attack, blocking Elkameya's attack.

　After accepting the quest to defeat the monstrous bird transformed into a mad dragon, Elkameya's team immediately packed their equipment and set off. They were lucky and soon found the monstrous bird that was running wildly through the forest.

　Giger sniffed hard. The giant bird's attack had almost made him vomit his breakfast. He didn't really want to drink the bitter and sweet nutrient solution, but there was no room for complacency during the hunt, so he had no choice but to pinch his nose and swallow the nutrient solution and the elixir.

　"Gig, flashbang." Upon hearing Elkameya's voice, Gig immediately pulled a sphere from his pouch, activated the mechanism, and threw it at the giant bird. The other three noticed Gig throwing the flashbang and immediately crouched down and closed their eyes tightly.

　A bright light exploded, and several Velociraptors nearby screamed in pain. However, to Elkameya's surprise, she didn't hear the Great Jaggi's voice. Elkameya quickly peered through her helmet to observe the Great Jaggi, only to see that it had already buried its head in the sand. She stuck out her tongue and licked her dry lips. She hadn't expected the Great Jaggi to have a way to deal with the flashbang, and thought that this would definitely be a long battle.

　The giant bird pulled its head out of the ground and charged towards Kanon, spewing fire liquid to both sides as it ran. Although the fire liquid's range wasn't very far, it was enough to burn through the hunter's armor. Sakhodi, standing nearby, threw a sonic bomb at the giant bird. To their surprise, the giant bird in its berserk state was completely unaffected by the sonic bomb, its beak slamming into Kanon's shield.

　The bird's beak slammed into Kanon's shield four times in succession. Kanon felt as if he had been hit by a horned dragon's charge. Blood immediately seeped from his tiger's mouth, and his arm went numb from the impact. For a moment, he couldn't even feel the shield in his hand. Fortunately, the shield had a locking mechanism, so Kanon's arm was not broken.

　Just as Kanon was about to raise his spear to retaliate, a large pool of molten liquid sprayed onto Kanon's shield. Watching the shield gradually melt, Kanon immediately disengaged the mechanism, and Gigg happened to be raising his greatsword to chop down on the giant bird's neck.
