The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　The investigation revealed that the enhanced Thunder Wolf Dragons attacked the Thunder Wolf Dragon clan and drove them off Spirit Peak. This was related to a second event: the appearance of the Black Eclipse Dragons in Jieyun Village. The Black Eclipse Dragons appeared on Spirit Peak and spread the Mad Dragon Virus, transforming a Thunder Wolf Dragon into an enhanced version. Enhanced monsters are irrational, so Jin Leigong led his clan away from Spirit Peak.

　The blacksmith tapped his pipe but didn't speak. Raymond lowered his head, seemingly deep in thought. Nazel had no choice but to speak up: "Then we can split into two teams. One team will be responsible for hunting the Black Devourer Dragon, and the other team will be responsible for hunting the Ultimate Thunder Wolf Dragon. This way, the safety of the village and the ecology of Spirit Peak can be guaranteed."

　The village chief of Jieyun Village shook his head and said, "The Black Erosion Dragon is elusive and has no fixed habitat, but the Ultimate Thunder Wolf Dragon is near Lingfeng. The most important reason why I suggested putting the hunt for the Ultimate Thunder Wolf Dragon first is that the Ultimate individual has reached the level of an Ancient Dragon after using the power of the Mad Dragon Virus for its own purposes. Otherwise, Jin Leigong would not have led his clan down the mountain."

　"So, the most efficient way is to combine all our strength to defeat the Ultimate Thunder Wolf Dragon?"

　"Putting aside the question of efficiency, I would say this is the safest method I can think of. Moreover, the hunters in Yukumo Village are very familiar with the Thunder Wolf Dragon, but no one in Yukumo Village has ever fought the Black Eclipse Dragon. So I suggest that we first hunt down the Ultimate Thunder Wolf Dragon. Of course, we also need to investigate the Black Eclipse Dragon. We can't let the Black Eclipse Dragon interfere when we hunt down the Ultimate Thunder Wolf Dragon."

　Inside the Hunter's Guild Hall, the young girl accepted a quest called "Hunting and Being Hunted," which required her to hunt a Zinogre. Following the map, she arrived at the stream at the foot of Mount Lingfeng. Due to the Zinogre's extreme evolution, the Zinogre clan had recently been sending out several more to guard the perimeter when hunting. Jin Leigong stood at the highest point of the stream, carefully observing the surrounding environment. If anything happened, Jin Leigong would immediately issue a warning, just like now.

　"Awoo~" "Awoo~"

　A deep roar came, and the alert Thunder Wolf Dragon immediately looked in the direction indicated by the Golden Thunder God. The bushes beside the stream trembled and rustled. Suddenly, a blue and white figure emerged from the bushes. Upon seeing this, both the Golden Thunder God and the Thunder Wolf Dragon on guard were stunned. Then, a flash of blue light appeared, and a black and purple figure suddenly appeared on the spot.

　Jin Leigong immediately realized that this was the pitch-black monster that had killed the Ferocious Dragon right in front of it. Jin Leigong knew that it was no match for the Black Eclipse Dragon. "Roar!" Jin Leigong immediately issued a retreat command. However, the young Thunder Wolf Dragon closest to the Black Eclipse Dragon could no longer control its nervousness under the pressure of the ancient dragon and the stimulation of the Black Eclipse Dragon's full bloody aura. After letting out a roar, it gathered a large number of Thunderflies around itself. After the strong current generated by itself was amplified by the Thunderflies, the Thunder Wolf Dragon quickly entered a supercharged state.

　The young Thunder Wolf Dragon raised its forepaws and slashed at the Black Devourer. Its combat experience consisted only of hunting pheasants and spirit deer; it didn't know how to fight an enemy several times its size. The Black Devourer sidestepped, its tail spikes rising, and struck the Thunder Wolf Dragon heavily, knocking it to the ground. The Thunder Wolf Dragon struggled to its feet, but the Black Devourer pinned it to the ground and bit its throat. Just then, the Golden Thunder God issued another command. The Golden Thunder God knew that even if it went, it wouldn't be of much help to the dying Thunder Wolf Dragon. Moreover, sacrificing one Thunder Wolf Dragon for the survival of the entire clan was a worthwhile trade.

　Of course, there are cases where a numerical advantage has been used to turn the tide and achieve a counterattack, but for a creature like the Black Eclipse Dragon, the Thunder Wolf Dragon is not foolish enough to have the illusion that it can turn the tide. The thick black fog around the Black Eclipse Dragon alone is enough to give the Thunder Wolf Dragon a hard time.

　When the young girl dragged the Thunder Wolf Dragon's corpse back to Yuukoku Village, the village chief was examining the Thunder Wolf Dragon's body.

　"These are the marks of a torn throat, the marks of bitten scales, and multiple wounds on the abdomen, which look like external injuries and lacerations. The Thunder Wolf Dragon's corpse is quite intact, but the secretions it had before death were blackish-purple. Could it be..."

　Looking at the corpse of the Thunder Wolf Dragon, the village chief of Yuyun Village couldn't help but make a guess that she dared not even think of: could this little girl have been living with the Black Devourer Dragon? Otherwise, the village chief of Yuyun Village couldn't think of any reason to explain the Thunder Wolf Dragon's death.

　Thinking of this, the village chief of Jieyun Village then thought of the several pieces of Black Corrosion Dragon material that the blacksmith had given him. These materials were given to him by the young girl. These facts seemed to confirm the village chief's guess. The village chief shook his head, trying to banish these chaotic thoughts. However, the village chief thought again and realized that he had indeed heard of the ancient dragon taking care of human children. Yes, it was the Qilin.

　The village chief of Yukumo Village then smiled slightly, wondering what was wrong with him that he would think of such a nonsensical thing. The village chief quickly crossed out the request for the Thunder Wolf Dragon and handed over the reward and materials to the little girl.

　Meanwhile, Raymond and Buck followed the fresh tracks to find the Ultimate Thunder Wolf Dragon. Following the trail, Raymond and Buck quickly found...

　When they arrived at the Naphthylamine Oasis in the Sand Plains, all that was in front of them was a huge Monoblos skeleton. Buck initially thought it was a Monoblos, but Raymond examined it closely and went over to tap the broken horn of the White Monoblos that had been smashed by the Ultimate Zinogre.

　"Look, this is a white monohorn. Its silver horn is much more valuable than the red horn of a monohorn. That thunder wolf dragon knows its stuff."

　PS: Second update!

　PS2: Zinogre was the beginning of the Fanged Wyvern species and was once the pinnacle, but now the official developers have forcibly elevated Magnus to the top. Magnus's stats are seriously high!

　Volume 1: Chapter 188 - The Torrent of Black Killing Intent

　Just like when the Sky Dragon spread the virus in Sky Mountain, neither the Sky Dragon nor the Black Eclipse Dragon cared where the infected creatures went. If Nazel and Materia hadn't encountered the Ultimate Thunder Wolf Dragon in the wild, it would have been hard to say whether Yukumo Village would have been safe by the time the Ultimate Thunder Wolf Dragon spread the Mad Dragon virus.

　Inside the Hunter's Gathering Hall, a Palico cook was stirring a milky white broth with a spoon longer than itself. The rich soup, made with bones from large herbivores such as herbivorous dragons, elf deer, and dromedaries, along with seasonal mushrooms and specialty bamboo shoots, emitted an enticing aroma. The hunters' favorite shelled herbivorous dragon back meat and wild pheasant meat bobbed up and down in the soup pot, while several Palicoes were preparing the ingredients nearby.

　The Palico chef took out a skinned Marubird and placed it on the grill. After sprinkling it with cooking wine and onions, he covered it with a round lid. Then, methodically, he took out a huge, imposing piece of red meat from the side and placed it next to the Marubird. The Palico chef took out a chef's knife and, with a swift stroke, the huge piece of red meat was reduced to a pile of smaller pieces after a flash of light. The Palico chef put away the chef's knife, picked up a spatula, and gently stirred the meat. The huge piece of red meat kept changing color and gradually became more and more tempting.

　Before plating the grilled meat, the Palico chef scooped up a spoonful of strong liquor and poured it over the meat. The sudden burst of flames almost burned the Palico assistant next to him. At this moment, the Maruko meat next to him was also ready. The crispy Maruko skin kept oozing oil. Before plating the grilled Maruko meat, the Palico chef solemnly took out a Maruko hat and put it on the end of the Maruko's thigh bone. Then, the Palico fished out a huge lobster from the soup pot and placed it on the plate. Skillfully, the lobster was cut in half, and a spoonful of seasonal mushrooms and specialty bamboo shoots was poured next to the lobster. Finally, a steamed boat oyster was taken out to complete the set meal. This oyster is called a boat oyster because it is so big that it cannot be stuffed into one bite.

　And so, the set meal recommended by Chef Elune was ready. The little girl couldn't wait to take a bite of the lobster meat that had already separated from its shell. Her chubby little face wiggled up and down as she chewed. As for the tasteless lobster head, the little girl would quickly tear it off and throw it aside. As for the remaining mushrooms and bamboo shoots, the little girl would evenly sprinkle these two vegetables on the steamed boat oysters, and then bury her head in them. The tenderness of the oysters and the fragrance of the mushrooms and bamboo shoots were a perfect match. When the little girl raised her head, her mouth was already covered with a lot of vegetable soup and oil.

　The next dish for the young girl was the meat of the Maru Bird. She tore off the small wings of the Maru Bird and stuffed them into her mouth. When she took them out, only bones remained. Soon, the Maru Bird turned into a pile of white bones, and the young girl's claws reached for the huge red meat.

　"Meow, meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow, meow." Guest, I can tell you're a food connoisseur too. I hope my cooking skills will satisfy you.

　The little girl chewed on the huge red meat in her mouth, swallowed it quickly, and already picked up another skewer of grilled meat. She glanced at the Palico chef and replied, "Delicious."

　"Meow, meow meow meow, meow meow meow." Thank you for your compliment, sir. I wonder if you are interested in the new ingredients?

　The little girl quickly peeled the huge red meat off the kebab, stuffed it into her mouth, and then picked up the soup bowl next to her and gulped down a bowl of meat soup. The little girl's expression instantly turned OVO, and her long black tail happily paddled on the ground, making a rustling sound.

　"I want to eat new food, you have to give me some!"

　"Meow? Meow meow, meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow." The customer is really joking. I'm not an ingredient, I'm a quest. The hunters seem to be busy, so no one has accepted the quest. The quest is [The Rushing Black Killing Intent]. Hunt two male Rathalos, and then I can experiment with a new ingredient: icy cool and sweet frozen milk ice cream.

　"Ice cream?" The little girl tilted her head in confusion. She had never heard of such a thing before and couldn't help but feel curious.

　The Palico chef paced back and forth, pondering how to describe what ice cream was. Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck her: "Meow meow meow meow, meow, meow meow meow!" She used cool biscuit crumbs and heaven...

　Berries, wild apples, ripe mangoes, and tropical pineapple, topped with a layer of condensed milk—I assure you, it tastes amazing.

　"Okay~ What is Rathalos?"

　"Meow?" Don't you know Rathalos? That huge flying dragon monster.

　The Palico chef thought the little girl would be familiar with this knowledge, but in reality, the classification of little girls is completely different from that of humans. Looking at the little girl tilting her head and acting cute, the Palico chef had no choice but to take a piece of paper. At this moment, the nimble claws played a key role, and the Palico immediately drew a cute sketch of the little girl.

　"Meow, meow meow meow, meow." This monster is a Rathalos. Its body is covered in red scales, its wings have scary spikes on both sides, its head has a thick carapace, and its mouth has terrifying sharp teeth. Its tail is like a spiked club. You must be careful!

　"Da oh~"

　In the submerged forest, two male Rathalos are chasing each other in the low sky. Before becoming mates, both male and female Rathalos have their own territories, and they will attack any Rathalos that enter their territory. This is why these two male Rathalos are fighting. Only when they enter the breeding season will the female and male Rathalos live together and reproduce.

　In addition, the Rathalos race has a very strict habit: they will only mate with individuals of the same species. That is, female Rathalos will only mate with male Rathalos, Pink Rathian will only mate with Azure Rathalos, and Gold Rathian will only mate with Silver Rathalos. However, this habit seems to have changed in the New World. Male Rathalos in the New World prefer to build their own harem with multiple female Rathalos in their breeding season, while female Rathalos who unfortunately become single mothers will fly to the Wildspire Wasteland to raise their offspring alone.

　The model couple has been replaced by a blond guy and a single mother. How sad and pathetic!

　However, this had nothing to do with the Black Eclipse Dragon. The Black Eclipse Dragon folded its talons and pounced on the Rathalos. The Rathalos that was caught by the Black Eclipse Dragon was immediately slammed to the ground. The forty-ton weight instantly broke the Rathalos's spine. The other Rathalos seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking.

　The other Rathalos seemed stunned. Before it could react, the Black Eclipse Dragon pounced, its wing claws gripping the Rathalos's tail, and it opened its mouth to bite the Rathalos's neck. The Rathalos screamed and tried to flap its wings to escape, but the Black Eclipse Dragon's teeth had already pierced into its neck. The Black Eclipse Dragon slammed its mouth shut, and the Rathalos's cervical vertebrae shattered.

　Commission completed~

　PS: First update!

　PS2: The forest was completely submerged. In the P3 era, several areas were entirely covered in water, but in Rise of Kingdoms, it became completely submerged. The water level dropped drastically, and while swimming in the cesspools was no longer possible, the color remained...

　Volume 1: 189 - Who Killed the Fire Dragon?

　The Black Dragon cautiously bit the Rathalos's neck, preparing to return to Yukumo Village. Meanwhile, in the dense forest, the Green Nargacuga quietly observed the Black Dragon from a treetop using its tail. In fact, the Green Nargacuga had been watching the two dragons fight from the treetop for a long time. The Green Nargacuga is a subspecies of the common Nargacuga. As the name suggests, in order to adapt to the environment, the Green Nargacuga's fur has evolved to be green. The Green Nargacuga's melee ability is stronger than that of the Nargacuga, and its tail spike darts have a side effect: if a hunter is accidentally stung, he can easily enter a stun state.

　As a cautious assassin, the Green Nargacuga will actively avoid predators in the same ecological niche to avoid disputes. When it saw the Black Rathalos descend from the sky and kill two male Rathalos, the Green Nargacuga decisively stopped its hunting and obediently hid in the shadows under the leaves. Because it has been hunting in the dense forest, the Green Nargacuga has a slender and agile body. Its agility makes it difficult for large carnivores such as Rathalos and Zinogre to spot it if it is willing to hide.

　This led to the Green Nargacuga lurking in the shadows, watching the Black Eclipse Dragon's movements, but inadvertently overlooking the appearance of another Black Eclipse Dragon behind it. The scales of this Black Eclipse Dragon had already spread to the Green Nargacuga's feet. After confirming its location, the Black Eclipse Dragon immediately raised its body and pounced on the Green Nargacuga.

　The sudden attack caught the Green Nargacuga off guard, causing it to turn and bite the Black Devourer. The two giant beasts fell to the ground during their struggle. The Black Devourer immediately released its grip and took a step back, dodging the Green Nargacuga's bite. The Black Devourer then arched its body and spewed three curved balls of Mad Dragon Virus forward. The Green Nargacuga leaped to the side to dodge the Virus Balls, then raised the spikes on its tail and sprayed them at the Black Devourer.

　The Black Eclipse Dragon, struck by the thorns, suddenly felt a heaviness on its body. Seeing this, the Green Nargacuga spread its bladed wings, charged forward, and slashed at the Black Eclipse Dragon with its wings. Just as the Green Nargacuga was about to make contact, the Black Eclipse Dragon's tentacles rose, and it actively...

　The dragon transformed into a berserker form, and just as the Green Swift Dragon was about to make contact with the Black Eclipse Dragon, its massive wing claws immediately seized the Green Swift Dragon. Before the Green Swift Dragon could react, the Black Eclipse Dragon had already bitten it.

　The Green Nargacuga extended its bladed wings and slashed at the Black Eclipse Dragon's wing claws and chest. The sharp bladed wings immediately tore through the Black Eclipse Dragon's chest and wing claws. Despite the pain, the Black Eclipse Dragon still held on tightly to the Green Nargacuga. Then, it spewed a Dragon Cannon at the ground below. The Dragon Cannon immediately triggered three T-shaped explosions upon landing. Then, the Black Eclipse Dragon released its wing claws, jumped back, and turned its body to the side, crashing into the Green Nargacuga with its side.

　The Green Swift Dragon let out a miserable cry, then was forced to inhale a large amount of the Mad Dragon Virus. After that, the Green Swift Dragon could hardly stand up normally. The Black Eclipse Dragon pounced on the Green Swift Dragon, stepped on it, and then opened its mouth to tear a large chunk of dragon flesh from the Green Swift Dragon's back. The pain made the Green Swift Dragon wake up a little from its coma, but the Green Swift Dragon's dying struggle was of no use. The Black Eclipse Dragon then bit through the Green Swift Dragon's throat.

　As dragon blood gushed out, the Green Nargacuga's struggles gradually ceased, eventually turning into a limp corpse. The Black Devourer devoured the Green Nargacuga's flesh, which, although not as delicious as the previous Rathian, was still quite good for the Black Devourer. After eating most of it, the Black Devourer lowered its head to lick the wounds on its abdomen and wing claws, while struggling to pluck the Green Nargacuga's thorns from its head. After resting for a while, the Black Devourer continued eating.

　With the help of the young girl, the Palico chef quickly brought the ice cream making machine to the Hunter's Gathering Place. As for the principle of ice making, that's Hunter Technology, kid.

　To celebrate the arrival of the ice cream machine, the Palico chef immediately showed off her skills to the little girl. Emerald guava, wild apple, ripe mango, heavenly berry and other fruits were chopped into small pieces by the Palico chef. Considering the little girl's appetite, the Palico chef took out her usual large bowl for drinking meat soup and poured a large portion of cream ice cream into it. Then she poured in the chopped fruit as well. The little girl scooped up a set of cream ice cream mixed with fruit pieces. The aroma of cream and the sweet and sour taste of fruit filled her mouth, and the little girl's expression turned into an OVO. The little girl focused on eating the cold and sweet ice cream in the bowl, spoonful after spoonful.

　While for an average human, eating such a bowl of ice cream would certainly overwhelm their digestive system, for a young girl's size, it's nothing at all. If you simply calculate it by weight, it's equivalent to eating a snowflake.

　Next, the Palico chef presented a new dish: a salad dressing made from bird eggs, cream, and oil extracted from the elven deer. Of course, the dressing was immediately used in the following dishes. The sizzling, oily Rathalos ribs grilled on an iron fork were a deep red color, with large drops of oil constantly dripping from them. However, before eating the ribs, the little girl dipped them in the salad dressing. The combination of salty and sweet flavors made the little girl feel very fresh and excited.

　For dragon liver, Chef Palico's usual practice is to sprinkle it with salt. Dragon liver has always been highly regarded in the catering industry. It is best to eat it chilled and sliced. The fresh taste also made the young girl slightly turn her head. Chef Palico then brought out several large sashimi fish. These extra-large sashimi fish, which are born in the greatness of nature, can be said to be a gift from nature. They are served chilled, and are fresh, sweet, crisp and tender.

　Inside the Hunters' Gathering Hall, hunters returning from the Submerged Forest were discussing the strange events that had occurred there.

　"The two fire dragons in the Water-Submerged Forest disappeared rather strangely. Do you know who accepted that commission?"

　"I don't know, but I heard from others that the Palico chef posted the request a long time ago and it was only recently accepted. Hmm, this sauce is really delicious. This must be herbivorous dragon meat. It feels more tender than the meat I've had before."

　"What's strange about it? Isn't it a good thing that someone accepted the commission and completed it?"

　The lead hunter quietly swallowed the meat chop in his mouth and said softly, "Because judging from the traces at the scene, that Rathalos' territory wasn't just inhabited by Rathalos. Green Nargacuga and Black Eclipse Dragon were also there. As you all know, all the Rathalos hunters in our village who are capable of hunting Rathalos have been sent out to investigate the Ultimate Zinogre. The hunters from Moga Village who came to provide support haven't arrived yet. And the current biological traces indicate that the only creature that killed the Rathalos could be Black Eclipse Dragon. Could it be that Black Eclipse Dragon transformed into human form to come to Yukumo Village to accept a quest?"

　The other two hunters were stunned for a moment, then burst into loud laughter. "Impossible, impossible, how could that be? A monster turning into a human form? It's impossible! How could you even think of that?"

　"When all possibilities have been overturned, the least likely hypothesis becomes the only possibility."

　PS: Second update!

　Volume 1: 190 - Ending the Pain of the Expulsion of the People

　The closest villages to Yukumo Village are Moga Village and Yanhuo Village. Due to the Hundred Dragons Night Parade, the villagers of Yanhuo Village are busy hunting various monsters and repairing their houses, and they cannot spare any manpower to help Yukumo Village hunt the Black Eclipse Dragon. Moreover, there are also eyewitness reports of what appears to be the Black Eclipse Dragon near Yanhuo Village. The hunters of Moga Village responded positively to Yukumo Village's request and sent three hunters, Owen, Hurt, and Veronica, to investigate the Black Eclipse Dragon.

　Inside the Hunter's Guild Hall in Yukumo Village, Owen and his two companions, who had just experienced the Great Fish Feast, were carefully reviewing the Black Eclipse Dragon investigation report provided by Yukumo Village. In fact, the investigation report provided by Yukumo Village was based on the few glimpses Raymond had seen. From a hunter's instinct, Raymond knew from just those few glances that rashly chasing after the Black Eclipse Dragon would only result in death. Not to mention its superhuman body, the Mad Dragon Virus swirling around the Black Eclipse Dragon was a major problem.

　Owen initially didn't believe that the Black Eclipse Dragon was thirty-three meters long. According to the monster encyclopedia issued by the Dragon Academy, the Heavenly Returning Dragon found in the village of Sinard was only seventeen meters long. Owen couldn't help but wonder if Raymond had misjudged the reference point. After all, it wasn't unreasonable for hunters to misjudge the reference point due to their nervousness under the attack of the green unknown beast dragon and the Golden Thunder God.

　Raymond insisted, however, that the Black Devouring Dragon was definitely not simple, and stressed to Owen to be fully prepared. But without Raymond's emphasis, Owen had already made all the necessary preparations. After the three of them ate their cat food, they immediately set off on their journey to find the Black Devouring Dragon.

　Meanwhile, the recovered siblings Nazel and Mathilda, along with the hunters from Yukumo Village, finally found the trail of the Ultimate-level Thunder Wolf Dragon. When they saw the Ultimate-level Thunder Wolf Dragon, Nazel and Mathilda were stunned. The white bristles on the Thunder Wolf Dragon's back and forepaws were stained deep red with blood. Its crimson eyes were fixed on them, the hunters who seemed to have ill intentions. Blackish-purple saliva was constantly dripping from its mouth. The dragon's entire state looked extremely eerie.

　"Ow~"

　A familiar roar rang out as the Zinogre released an electric current, activating the Thunderbugs and putting them into a supercharged state. Nazel, Materia, and the other hunters immediately took their positions: the lance hunter in front, the greatsword hunter on the side, and the hunting horn hunter providing support from the rear. "Here it comes!" Nazel watched as the Zinogre leaped high into the air and charged towards him. As the Zinogre approached the hunters, it suddenly turned and performed a backflip, slamming its tail down on Nazel.

　A tremendous force struck, and Nazel gritted his teeth as he caught the Zinogre's somersaulting tail whip. Nazel knew that this seemingly casual strike possessed the power to send hunters flying. The hunting horn hunter beside him saw the clanging of metal against metal as the Zinogre slammed into his shield and shield, louder than the sound of a Diablos's horn hitting a shield, and he wavered slightly. Meanwhile, the heavy bowgun hunter behind him had been observing the Zinogre. As the Zinogre landed, the heavy bowgun hunter pulled the trigger, and a powerful piercing bullet struck the Zinogre's head.

　The piercing bullet exploded on the head of the Zinogre. The attack, coming from outside its perception range, enraged the Zinogre even more. It raised its right claw, slashed the ground to charge up, and then slammed its body down on Nazel. Nazel hurriedly activated the mechanism, deactivated its axe mode, and immediately held its shield up in front of it.

　As Nazel blocked the Thunder Wolf Dragon's punch, the other hunters swarmed forward, launching their own attacks. Materia, wielding a one-handed sword, used her agility to strike first, targeting the Thunder Wolf Dragon's left hind leg, a position far enough from its head to prevent a counterattack. The lance hunter also aimed for the Thunder Wolf Dragon's right hind leg. Greatsword hunters and even hunting horn hunters stood directly in front of the Thunder Wolf Dragon, attempting to weaken it.

　With a "bang," the Thunder Wolf Dragon's final attack, which seemed to have only lightly grazed the Greatsword Hunter's back, was nonetheless a blow that did not actually hit the Hunter squarely. In an instant, the Greatsword Hunter was sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground.

　Before Nazar could even drink the nutrient potion, he immediately sheathed his sword in his shield and swung it fiercely at the Zinogre. The Zinogre spun around, charged up, and then unleashed a powerful side-slam, ramming into Nazar. Nazar immediately jumped to dodge, and simultaneously, after landing, the Zinogre swung its tail, launching three arcing balls of lightning. Mattia, the Greatsword Hunter, and the Hunting Horn Hunter, who were about to help, had to hastily dodge the lightning attacks.

　After unleashing its lightning ball attack, the Thunder Wolf Dragon roared upon landing. Several bolts of lightning struck directly in front of it, in the straight line where Nazel was standing. The lightning blasted Nazel backward, and with the final strike, he lost his grip on his shield and collapsed to his knees. As Nazel gritted his teeth and tried to stand, he felt his body go limp, his vision blurred, and he nearly fell to the ground. Only then did Nazel realize that he had inhaled an excessive amount of black mist.

　The heavy bowgun hunter providing support immediately loaded ice bullets and fired at the Zinogre, while the lance hunter beside him also thrust forcefully at the Zinogre. Once the Zinogre's attention was drawn to...

　Afterwards, Matilia immediately dragged her brother away from the Thunder Wolf Dragon. Nazar bit his tongue hard, and the pain finally made him more awake. Nazar hurriedly took out the Dispel Fruit and ate it. He opened the lid of the large nutrient solution and poured it into his stomach. Only then did his body feel lighter. Nazar struggled to stand up and also let Matilia eat a Dispel Fruit.

　While Nazel adjusted his physical condition, the hunters nearby did not reduce their attack intensity. The greatsword hunters in the front row were responsible for slashing, while the heavy bowgun hunters in the back row were responsible for covering. After the Zinogre roared at the swarm of ants, it slashed the ground with its front claws, jumped high into the air, and slammed down on the greatsword hunter. The heavy bowgun hunter hurriedly tried to fire a sniper shot, but what he saw through the scope was the greatsword hunter flying away. Before the heavy bowgun hunter could figure it out, the second lightning strike landed on the head of the hunting horn hunter.

　The heavy bowgun hunter immediately deactivated the Dragon Shot and loaded Ice Ammo. "Haaaaaah!" Nazel, now back to full strength, charged up and slashed at Zinogre. Matilia also attacked Zinogre with her one-handed sword. Zinogre swung its head and bit Nazel's shield axe, while simultaneously using its charged shell to block Matilia's one-handed sword. "Don't even think about it!" Despite being surprised by Zinogre's reaction, the heavy bowgun hunter fired several Ice Ammo without hesitation. The continuous barrage of Ice Ammo finally made Zinogre pause for a moment.

　Taking advantage of the opportunity, Nazel and Mattia immediately moved away from the Thunder Wolf Dragon. Just as the two were thinking about how to deal with it, a familiar roar suddenly sounded behind them, and the Golden Thunder God, shining with golden light, immediately pounced on the Thunder Wolf Dragon.

　PS: First update!

　PS2: Yeah, today is May Day, and yesterday was also my wife Fengxiang's birthday, hehe, wishing everyone a happy May Day!

　Love you all, mua~

　Volume 1: 191 - The Art of Lightning!

　The hunters should have anticipated this. After Jin Leigong joined the fray, the situation on the battlefield immediately changed. Of course, it wasn't that Nazel and his group had the upper hand; it was just that Jin Leigong's arrival made things a little easier for them.

　The Thunder Wolf Dragon roared and broke free from the Golden Thunder God's suppression. However, the Golden Thunder God had no intention of fighting to the death. The Golden Thunder God and the Thunder Wolf Dragon sized each other up, with Nazel and Mattia as the center. The two dragons did not care about how the hunters surrounded by them felt.

　"Brother, are they planning to eat us? There are two Thunder Wolf Dragons, one for each of us, so there's no need to fight over them."

　Nazel pursed his lips speechlessly, thinking to himself, "What kind of time is this to still be joking around like this?" "Stop messing around. At least until the Ultimate Thunder Wolf Dragon dies, the Golden Thunder God shouldn't clash with us. At least, that's how it is, right?"

　"Was it because the ultimate form of the Thunder Wolf Dragon drove it off the Spirit Peak, just like the Storm Dragon back then?"

　"Maybe that's why. Anyway, let's get out of there first."

　As soon as the words were spoken, the Thunder Wolf Dragon launched the first attack, leaping high into the air and raising its forepaw to strike the Golden Thunder God. The Golden Thunder God tensed its muscles and, taking advantage of the Thunder Wolf Dragon's landing, jumped up to dodge the Thunder Wolf Dragon's punch. After landing, the Thunder Wolf Dragon then rapidly spun its body around its left paw, charged up its strength, swung its tail 360 degrees, and then somersaulted backward, slapping its broad tail, which was covered with dense carapace, towards the Golden Thunder God. The Golden Thunder God also spun its body in the air, using its tail to flick out three arcing balls of light that hit the Thunder Wolf Dragon.

　"Wow, that's amazing. Golden Thunder God is indeed Golden Thunder God. Even with its wounds still bleeding, it can still fight to a draw with the Ultimate Thunder Wolf Dragon."

　"Stop looking and get out of here right now. Even a Palico might not be able to save you if it takes a single swipe of its paw."

　After the Thunder Wolf Dragon and the Golden Thunder God clashed, Nazar and Matilia were unexpectedly no longer in the center of the two dragons. Nazar suddenly gripped the cotton spore grass next to him, and when he let go, a large number of spores sprayed out. Nazar led Matilia and hid in the spores to conceal themselves.

　Both the Golden Thunder God and the Thunder Wolf Dragon raised their heads and roared to the sky. Golden lightning and gray lightning collided in the air. The slightly larger Golden Thunder God raised its claws and straightened its body, trying to bite the Thunder Wolf Dragon and pin it down. The Thunder Wolf Dragon immediately stood up and bit its neck. The Thunder Wolf Dragon swung its claws to gather strength and smash down on the Golden Thunder God, trying to pin it down. The Golden Thunder God roared and, after gathering strength in its front claws, threw a powerful uppercut, instantly knocking the Thunder Wolf Dragon to the ground.

　The Thunder Wolf Dragon roared angrily, slamming its tail into the Golden Thunder King. The two giant beasts rolled on the ground, and soon the Golden Thunder King was at a disadvantage. The Golden Thunder King in its normal state might not be able to suppress the Ultimate Thunder Wolf Dragon, let alone the Golden Thunder King who had not yet recovered. Nazel and Matilia found the Heavy Bowgun Hunter and discussed what to do next.

　"What to do, what to do, Nazel, that's the Golden Thunder God!"

　"With Golden Thunder God here, we can win. Get ready for the Mega Bomb G. The head of the Thunder Wolf Dragon is its weak point."

　After they discussed it, Mattia drew her somewhat less sharp earthenware stick.

　With a vengeance, Nazel and the Heavy Bowgun Hunter slowly closed the distance with the Thunder Wolf Dragon. They quickly set up their Barrel Bomb Gs. The Thunder Wolf Dragon jumped back and unleashed two lightning-infused punches, forcing the Golden Thunder Wolf Dragon back. As the humans approached, the Thunder Wolf Dragon naturally stared at Matilia with its crimson eyes. "Roar!" The Thunder Wolf Dragon roared and pounced on Matilia.

　Taking advantage of the moment, the heavy bowgun hunter threw a flashbang. The intense light blinded Raikou and Zinogre. Nazel immediately switched his Charge Blade to Axe mode and smashed it down on Zinogre's head. Nazel slashed three times in quick succession, as if trying to squeeze out the last bit of strength from his body. After throwing the flashbang, the heavy bowgun hunter kept pulling the trigger to provide cover for Nazel and Matilia. After Zinogre shook its head and regained its vision, it ran towards Nazel.

　Nazel stood in front of the Barrel Bomb G, while the Heavy Bowgun Hunter had already lit the fuse as planned. "Brother?"

　"Nazere, what are you doing?"
