Do you believe me when I say I’m not a dragon?

Seeing the emotion in the other person's eyes, Ishikawa quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"He asked me to tell you: The Ice Vein Snowfield contains huge resources. It is indeed an inhumane act to build a resource collection center. But if the floating island just ignores it, you will not believe it. So I hope to deepen cooperation with the Ice Vein Snowfield." Relationship, the Ice Vein Snow Plains side can give more resources, and the Floating Island side will also give more materials."

Hearing this, Hami fell silent, not because he felt embarrassed, but because he didn't have the right to make a choice.

Rachel on the side said:

"Mr. Ishikawa, the only benefit from deepening cooperation is the increase in the amount of effort and gain every year."

Her tone became slightly calmer, without the familiarity of the past, to express her dissatisfaction.

"...That's not the case. Mr. Sean proposed a plan." Ishikawa, or the senior executives behind him, had already expected this. He took out another document and handed it to Hami. .

After receiving it, Hami read through it carefully, with a rare look of astonishment on his face.

He spent some time to check the above content again and again, and said to Rachel: "...After agreeing to cooperate, the Floating Island can send a large number of capable manpower to assist in the resource construction of the Ice Vein Snowfield, including medical care. personnel, scholars, construction workers, etc.; similarly, the Ice Vein Snowfield can also send personnel to the Floating Island to study - the two parties can recall the dispatched personnel at any time, but considering the geographical environment of the Ice Vein Snowfield, from the time of initiating the recall request to The latest time for personnel to be recalled is within two transactions. During this period, both parties have the right to protect the health and freedom of the other party from infringement."

"..." Listening to his explanation, Rachel fell into silence for a long time.

Mercer was also in the lava, groping for his chin.

Through the black mist, he could not feel the thoughts in Ishikawa's heart, only a little uneasiness and nervousness could be heard.

If the initiator of this request appeared in front of Mercer, Mercer could still use the black mist to sense his current emotions and infer his thoughts, but that was not possible now.

——Judging from the current information, after Floating Island sent personnel here, what they gained was an understanding of the ice-veined snowfield, and it also increased the possibility of scholars escaping.On the Ice Vein Snowfield side, the manpower has been increased and more professionals have been obtained.

And these are exactly what the Ice Vein Snowfield lacks now.

After a long silence, Rachel raised her head and nodded to Ishikawa:

"Okay, we promise you."

Hearing this, Ishikawa smiled, stood up and bowed: "Thank you for your cooperation."

Chapter 228: Black Fire Dragon

......

In the end, Mercer agreed, and Ishikawa soon seemed to have a different face, praising the people on the floating island for their curiosity and desire for the ice-veined snowfield.

Finally, Ishikawa also said that this cooperation will be a big step towards peace between the two parties... From the black mist, Mercer felt that he showed a strong sense of disobedience when he said this sentence, I don’t know who asked him to read it this way.

——Indeed, this cooperation represents the establishment of a friendly relationship between Ice Vein Snowfield and Floating Island, but it is only on the surface. Secretly, if one party reveals a flaw, the other party will definitely turn against them mercilessly.

But fortunately, this contract has a certain degree of freedom for both parties, and Mercer can be wary of them at any time.

In addition, Mercer also noticed another piece of information from their exchanges: the strategy against the ice-veined snowfield was spreading on the floating island.

In other words, there is not much time left for the development of Ice Vein Snowfield.

Thinking of this, Mercer began to think deeply.

......

Less than three months after Ishikawa and the others left, that is, when the spring receded and the cold swept back, Mercer spread his wings and headed for the swamp forest.

He shuttled through the blizzard and reached the sky above the forest, spreading his wings and landing slowly.

In such weather, even flying dragons don't like to fly. Usually they will huddle in their nests at this time, either taking a nap or catching a medium-sized creature to train their children's hunting skills.

But to Mercer's expectation, the atmosphere in the upper level of the forest was not quiet, and could even be described as noisy.

"Roar!"

The fire dragon flew out of the leaves and hovered in the sky with other flying dragons.

They were fighting, seemingly fighting for territory.

Because of the climate, the fire dragon's body was relatively weak, and it was even driven to live in the middle and upper layers of the forest.

But this time, the fire dragon rarely appeared on the upper level, fighting fiercely with other flying dragons.

Seeing this, Mercer became interested and landed in the distance to observe their actions.

He is not the type who is good at hiding, but fortunately Mercer's senses are sensitive enough and he can clearly perceive their every move even from a distance.

This fire dragon is about 20 meters tall and has red and black scales all over its body, which is darker in color.

It flapped its wings in the air, looking at the other flying dragons with a fierce look in its eyes.

The flying dragon spread its wings and swooped towards it, opening its sharp claws with yellow electricity wrapped around them.

The fire dragon showed no sign of weakness and also showed its claws and grabbed at it.

The claws of the two flying dragons were grasped together and they were spinning rapidly in the air.

After a round of confrontation, the fire dragon's claws clawed away the body of the electrified flying dragon, and the flying dragon also injured the fire dragon's thigh.

This was nothing to them, but Mercer discovered another detail worth mentioning:

The claws and tail of the fire dragon were poisonous, but there was no purple liquid flowing out of the claws of this fire dragon. The flying dragon did not show any signs of poisoning after entangled with him for a while.

This fire dragon received Mercer's scale powder and underwent a certain degree of mutation.I don’t know what happened to it to make the toxins on it disappear.

Mercer didn't speculate for long, and reality soon told him the answer.

——In exchange for the loss of toxins, a stronger physical quality is obtained.

The entanglement in the air didn't last long, and the fire dragon threw its opponent away with overwhelming force.

But this was not a fair duel. The fire dragon was not allowed to rest too much, and another opponent came forward.

A flying dragon with spikes all over its body and poisonous vines growing on its body.

It opened its mouth and spit out a mouthful of dark green poisonous mist.

The fire dragon flashed past quickly, turned around and spat out a fireball unceremoniously. The blazing flames spread around, burning fiercely even in such a cold weather.

The fireball exploded on the flying dragon, causing it to fall from the sky and hit the surrounding branches.

However, Mercer had an impression of this flying dragon. The poison was very strong and the body was not weak at the same time.

Sure enough, the poisonous flying dragon quickly flapped its wings and pounced up again, spitting out thick poisonous mist.

In response, the fire dragon directly opened its mouth and spit out a stream of flames, burning the poisonous mist and igniting the poisonous flying dragon's body.

The latter finally couldn't bear the weight and fell down again with his body covered in burnt black.

The fire dragon panted in the air for a moment, and soon another flying dragon pounced on it.

...Next, each flying dragon stepped forward to fight. Of course, it would not be a fair one-on-one fight. No other flying dragon took action during the battle just because the aerial attack was not accurate. If the fire dragon was fighting When a flaw was exposed, they were still very willing to go and repair it.

As for the fire dragon that Mercer was paying attention to, it was surrounded by dragons and had no chance of winning. In a one-on-two battle, it accidentally exposed its back to its opponent and was bitten off. A large piece of carapace fell on the branch after exhausting its strength.

Just as the other flying dragons were about to pounce forward, a low roar came from the distance.

Mercer landed from the sky, stared at the group of flying dragons, and drove them away.

He turned his head and looked at the weak fire dragon with interest.

The injury looked serious, but for the thick-skinned fire dragon, it was probably not a fatal injury.

Under Mercer's control, black mist surged in the air, blocking its wounds to prevent reinfection.Next, it just needs to wait for its own recovery ability.

Mercer observed its scales, which showed a deep dark color, which also proved Mercer's idea - the darker the mutated fire dragon's scales, the stronger its combat effectiveness.

And in the continuous battle against this group of flying dragons, if they hadn't given the fire dragon time to last up its wounds, its defeated generals might not have been able to survive.

Mercer turned his head and swept across the group of flying dragons.

He didn't care how these flying dragons fought. He was just provoked and attacked in groups... The world of beasts is that simple. Although it failed, its record was good enough. Proved his strength with practical actions.

In this case, Mercer will not be stingy with his reward.

His pupils narrowed, and under the surge of black mist, the flying dragon in the forest appeared in his mind.

Soon, he locked on a target.

——Not long after, a female fire dragon with emerald green scales and a strong and healthy body flew over, and came to Mercer's side at a loss.

Mercer narrowed his eyes and stared at the deep scales of the fire dragon, with a hint of eagerness flashing in his eyes. He asked the female fire dragon to come to it and issue a series of more ambiguous orders.

Chapter 229: Black Touch

If reproduced as much as possible, this dark-colored fire dragon can lay eggs within a year and form a certain size within ten years - this does not take into account the existence of other fire dragons.

In this case, coupled with the flying dragons, direwolf dragons, etc. in the forest, even if Mercer is not dispatched, there will be a high victory rate when facing foreign enemy spacecraft.

...But apart from this, there are other aspects to be wary of.

After leaving the group of flying dragons, Mercer called a small group of flying dragons and came to the deepest part of the forest.

Those flying dragons are all of the same race, it is the purple flying dragon that Mercer discovered last time, its scientific name is Purple Mist Dragon.

Among the creatures that Mercer knew, it was the first flying dragon to be mutated by the black mist infection.

Because they are too weak, they are also particularly dependent on the environment and are easily changed by the surrounding ecology.

In the first generation of the Purple Mist Dragon that was infected and mutated, its perception ability was strengthened, and it could mislead Mercer's black mist to point them in the direction of their prey.

The second generation born from the first generation has mutated the poisonous mist release ability on this basis: they can release a part of the black mist while releasing the poisonous mist.

——The principle is very simple. The special organs in their bodies have mutated. They contain the scale powder that Mercer left in their bodies and provide them with nutrients.

In this way, the scale powder residing in their bodies will multiply more efficiently, and their bodies will become equivalent to a replenishment station for Mercer scale powder.

It was precisely for this reason that Mercer took the following actions.

Mercer closed his eyes and controlled the scale powder around him.

The wind in the forest was very light, but the black mist began to blow violently, forming black hurricanes.

In the black mist, the purple mist dragons began to become restless. They spread their wings and flew in the black mist.

The hurricane began to spread, and the black fog in the forest began to peel off and rise into the sky.

Mercer's eyelids trembled unconsciously, feeling extremely difficult.

The scale powder continued to go up, over the branches and leaves, and flew above the forest together with the Purple Mist Dragon.

In the sky above, there was a howling wind and snow, with scale powder floating on it and being blown away by the wind and snow.

The place where the wind and snow blows is the direction of the ice-veined snowfield.

Mercer didn't know how much scale powder could survive in that cold temperature, but it didn't matter, because the dead scale powder would also become nutrients for the surviving scale powder and be recycled to the greatest extent.

"Ka-"

The Purple Mist Dragon flies together with the Black Mist. As creatures that live in the upper layers of the forest, they have high cold resistance and can survive well even in the ice-veined snowfields.

They release the black mist in their bodies and strengthen the black team.

The black fog that blocked the sky showed its full picture at that moment, like a black claw stretching towards the ice-veined snowfield.

Mercer opened his eyes, and those eyes were full of exhaustion. It was easy for him to issue orders and make the scale powder move in the direction he requested, but if he wanted to control such a vast scale powder in the forest, it would take a lot of effort for Mercer. It will also increase exponentially.

He shook his head, trying to shake off the tiredness, but to no avail.

He forced himself to wake up, sensed the thinning black mist in the forest, spread his wings and flew high into the sky.

His body violently knocked away the surrounding branches and flew straight over the forest, looking at the black mist that was blown and swayed by the snowstorm.

Sure enough, it still doesn't work...

There was a trace of regret in Mercer's heart, but he did not show any disappointment. Instead, he looked in the direction of the volcano and let out a roar.

"Roar--"

The roar of the dragon spread across the sky, spreading far across this silent land...

The next moment, another cry came from the direction of the volcano——

"Wow!"

In the direction of the volcano, a fiery red light rose. The red phoenix spread its wings in the snow and stared at the cold winter around it.

The red phoenix spread its wings and made a loud sound, and every feather trembled and fell.

Under its power, the surrounding temperature changed, and under the messy sky, the wind and snow gradually became quiet.

Blown by the lingering wind, the black mist successfully descended and landed on the snow, staining the white ground with a touch of black.

The Purple Mist Dragon screamed and landed in various places in the Ice Vein Snowfield.
