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

The above are some things that look unclear, but the contents are just some applications, nothing important.

After searching this book, it tiptoed to the bookshelf, intending to find relevant information.

——At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps not far away. It suddenly became alert and quickly came to the front of the wine cabinet, opened the solid wood cabinet below, and took advantage of its smaller size to squeeze in. Went in and hid.

Fortunately, the footsteps did not stop, but came closer and closer, and then there was a sound of opening the door from further away, and everything became quiet again.

The lynx quietly breathed a sigh of relief, climbed out of the wine cabinet, and continued to rummage in front of the bookshelf.

After opening the bookshelf and checking inside to see if there were any other mechanisms or things that could be hidden, he found something - a document.

It pricked up its ears to listen to the sounds outside, and then quietly opened the file.

""Floating Island Construction Plan No. [-]"? Aren't there only one, two, three, four... seven floating islands, and then one was destroyed by the boss? This No. [-]..." Bobcat He was muttering to himself in his mind, tilting his head in confusion.

This seemed to be news that had nothing to do with natural disasters, but when he rummaged through it, he discovered that the content was extraordinary.

"The lava crystal named 'Phoenix' natural disaster, and Xingzhoulong's... deep sea crystal?"

Shanmao narrowed his eyes and memorized the above information in his mind.

Crystals that can only be collected from areas where natural disasters occur have extremely strong energy conductivity on floating islands, and are extremely powerful materials for building energy transmission circuits inside floating islands - but currently there are only three types of crystals that can be obtained in large quantities. : Lava crystals produced by the natural disaster 'Phoenix' in the volcano where the boss lived 30 to [-] years ago; it is suspected to be the deep sea crystal dropped by the natural disaster 'Xingzhoulong' that the boss is looking for; there is also a kind of crystal called 'Xingshilong' 'The earth crystals produced... this shouldn't be important, right?

Shanmao thought to himself, trying hard to engrave the words in front of him in his mind, and then quietly put it back.

"Such important news must be told to the boss." It said to itself in its heart, and then looked up at the contents of the book.

However, these harvests are extremely bad, and none of them are useful. If they are brought to the ice veins and snowfields, they may help some beginners learn, but now... it has no such leisure.

After quickly checking the bookshelf, it came to the tea table in the center. It always felt like this place was suitable for a meeting.

Shanmao looked at the empty tea table, lay down and inspected the lower plate of the tea table, touched the bottom and pressed it lightly.

——A subtle sound sounded, and a drawer popped up automatically.

"What a strange technology, meow..."

In Bobcat's mind, things like drawers are meant to be pulled out backwards, and to advance is to retreat... This kind of tool is not uncommon on floating islands, but it has never appeared in the ice veins and snowfields. If If it hadn't lived on the floating island for a period of time, it might have been stumped for a while.

It looked at the contents inside and gently pulled out a document.

""Natural Disaster "Xingzhoulong" Observation and Research Plan... I found Meow!" Looking at the content above, the timid Bobcat felt excited.

——The next moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly came in a hurry. It raised its head and its ears suddenly stood up straight.

Da da da......

The footsteps came from far and near, and began to slow down. Based on its observation of humans and beasts, usually at this time, it represents a sign that he is approaching his destination!

In the light coming from under the door, a shadow appeared in the middle, which was human feet.

creak-

The door opened, and an elegant middle-aged man stood at the door, looking at everything in the room.

——Empty, nothing.

"Huh..." He couldn't help but rub his temples and walked into the house.

He turned around and walked straight to the wine cabinet, squatted down, opened the wooden cabinet at the bottom and took out a bottle of red wine.

He walked to the window, opened it and looked into the distance.

——Beside him was the bobcat standing dangerously on the striped bulge used to decorate the building.

It felt the smell of tobacco on the middle-aged man beside it, and while looking at the towering ground below, it couldn't help but feel its legs weakening, and finally closed its eyes tightly and leaned back as much as possible.

It is one thousand percent sure that as long as that person sticks his head out of the window and looks both ways, he will be able to find traces of it.

This sense of crisis, which made her heart almost burst out of her chest, made her feel unable to extricate herself for some reason, and her mind even began to fantasize about first aid plans if she was discovered.

With his heart pounding, Shanmao held the document in his hand tightly, not daring to move.

Beside Shanmao, a middle-aged man opened the wine, took a sip, and exhaled.

"Huh..." He stared forward and suddenly said: "Damn thief!"

"——!" Upon hearing this, Shanmao's body suddenly stiffened.

Then I heard his next words: "What Air Island Federation! What Material Management Department! That should be my thing. If you want to take our information, you must pay the price! Instead of using some bullshit excuse... .." As he said that, he took another sip of wine.

"Natural Disaster...Xingzhou Dragon...if they weren't my recordkeeper, how could they possibly know this news? The materials dropped by the Natural Disaster, the deep sea crystals, how could they not go through me?" Steal them with your permission!”

He just vented like this, panting and drinking. After an unknown amount of time, he burped and left the window.

The timid bobcat did not move, but continued to stay where it was. After a long time, it cautiously poked its head out.

——At this moment, on the sofa not far from him, the middle-aged man had fallen into a deep sleep.

It cautiously breathed a sigh of relief, crawled in, memorized the contents of the document, and then put it back in its place.

After making sure no traces were left, it moved away from the window and disappeared into the night.

Chapter 259: Hunter Meeting

"Is this the mission location you mentioned?"

A few more months later, when the ice-veined snowfield had just shed its frost and greenery was emerging, ten small spaceships arrived near the ice-veined snowfield.

Of course, they came over a period of time early to confirm that the people used for trading on the floating island had not arrived yet.

"Hey! Are you sure that black dragon will pay us?" From the side of Luo Qiu's spaceship, the leader of the Sand Viper Hunting Group shouted, and then joked with others, "I'm afraid he wants to eat us together!"

Luo Qiu looked at them. Although the atmosphere was relaxed, every member of the group placed their weapons where they could reach them at any time, and stood next to the cannon on the ship.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Your attacks are useless against the black dragon. Although it can't hurt him, it won't just ignore your hostility." Luo Qiu said lightly, "Besides, you are all here. , I think they must have been mentally prepared.”

"Oh?" Hearing this, the leader of the Sand Viper Hunting Group raised his eyebrows and said in a somewhat unkind tone: "Isn't this what you asked us to do?"

"I made the problem very clear before I came here. I just received the order from the black dragon and secretly sent you invitations. Some refused, some didn't, it's that simple." Luo Qiu looked at the increasingly arrogant people. He said without squinting at the nearby ice-veined snowfield.

"......Humph."

Hearing this, the other party sneered, felt bored, and looked calmly at the ice-veined snowfield ahead.

At the same time, beside Luo Qiu, a big man also came over with a crutch:

"I hope Black Dragon can do things more simply so that a disabled person like me can be put to use."

"I think so, instructor."

——Under the gaze of everyone, the spaceship arrived at the crater of the ice-veined snowfield.

Everyone can clearly see: On the edge of the volcano, a black dragon as big as a mountain is lying in front of a pile of meat mountains, swallowing big mouthfuls.

"Heh, it looks like we won't have to be eaten for a while."

Some hunters chuckled, but the atmosphere gradually became quiet, and all the hunters shouldered their weapons in unison.

"Is that where the foundation is being laid?"

The big man beside Luo Qiu asked with a frown.

"Maybe."

"...But it's too big. What kind of construction is this black dragon going to do?"

Everyone can see it in the sky, and halfway up the snow-capped mountains, someone can see someone starting to build.

"You all wait here for a moment, I'll go down and report."

Luo Qiu signaled to the spaceships on both sides, and then slowly landed.

The spaceship came to the ground. Luo Qiu got off the ship and was about to walk towards Mercer. Suddenly Rachel appeared and blocked his way: "Welcome back, Hunter Luo Qiu, it seems that your mission has been completed." .”

"Um...yes." Seeing Rachel appearing in front of him, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Instead of facing the elusive black dragon, this priest would be better.

"Then let's move on and talk in detail."

Rachel made a sign of invitation and entered the hut first with the support of several bobcats.

Luo Qiu followed, but suddenly saw from the corner of her eye that the lynx who had always stayed on the spaceship and had a weak sense of presence came to the black dragon and started talking to him.

......

"'Floating Island Construction Plan No. [-]', 'Xingzhou Dragon', 'World-Bearing Dragon'... I understand."

——A long time later, after listening to its report, Mercer fell into a long silence.

At the same time, his mouth also grinned slightly, showing a smile.

This time it was really fruitful. They understood the location of the Xingzhou Dragon, and also learned about the so-called "deep sea crystals", a resource that was extremely important to them.

Thinking of this, Mercer also understood why they came to attack him more than 20 years ago.

"For profit...ha." Mercer's low tone revealed a burst of joy: "There is profit in this!"

"Fuck him, meow!" Although the lynx didn't understand what Mercer said, he still echoed excitedly.

After hearing these words, Mercer calmed down a little. He looked at the lynx in front of him and said in a calm tone: "I don't know how to thank you. What do you need?"

"Meow...I didn't think of this for a moment, meow..." Facing Mercer's eager gaze, it scratched its head in embarrassment.

"If you think of it again, just go and talk to Hami. He will agree to your request unconditionally."

There was a smile in Mercer's tone: "By the way, before you accept the award, tell Hami to remember to write a letter to someone next year. This year we will send a few people to bring a letter to the director of the Institute of Ecology. talk."

"What is meow?"

"——'If you want information, then you send someone to get it. A middleman can't get first-hand information.', that's what he said." Mercer narrowed his eyes and said.

"I understand, meow!" The lynx nodded, and then praised: "What a domineering line, meow!"

"Haha, let's go." Mercer was in a very good mood. He watched it leave with a smile. Then his expression calmed down. He looked at the food in front of him and swallowed it in big mouthfuls.

There is already news of a natural disaster, but whether it is true or not is still open to debate, so Mercer decided to take the initiative and go see it with his own eyes.

"... Regarding the treatment of disabled hunters, we will currently give them an excellent career. After all, the position of hunter instructor has always been scarce." - In the hut, Rachel and Luo Qiu were talking, and suddenly something came to their ears. A voice sounded: "I want to leave for a while, manage things around me, and don't let those who trade find the hunter's traces."

"clear."

Rachel paused, said to the air, and then smiled at Luo Qiu who looked at her confused: "Let's continue."

After explaining some things, Mercer also finished eating the food and spread his wings to flap.

A special sound of wing friction sounded, accompanied by a fierce hurricane, which made the cabin sway a little. Rachel glanced at the shaking window and said, "Don't worry."

Mercer was wrapped in a hurricane and flew into the sky. His heavily armored body passed by the people on the spacecraft and then disappeared into the sky.

People felt the strong wind blowing through their hair and subconsciously held the railings around them, marveling at the power of the black dragon and the flash of metal armor.

The tightly wrapped armor made those who were always wary at the beginning feel ridiculous. If the other party really had malicious intentions, then even if they calmed down, they would not be able to stop the black dragon in the slightest.

Chapter 2: Enemies of natural disasters

——Mercer spread his wings and flew across the sky.

He pulled out the map caught in the gap in the armor in the air, glanced at his approximate location, and flew in that direction.

I have flown around the sun and the moon hundreds of times. If you calculate carefully, it takes about three or four months.

Although he had tried his best to deviate from the human biological clock, the nature of this body was hard to change, and he did not feel bored during the period of flying in the air.

"It's probably around here."

In the past few months, Mercer has been flying at full speed except during rest time. The purpose is to find the natural disaster "Xingzhou Dragon" as soon as possible and return to the ice veins and snow fields to prepare.

In fact, he was not worried that he might miss the other party. According to the information given by Shanmao, there would always be a spacecraft tracking Xingzhoulong not far away to record all its data.

It may not be easy to find the Xingzhoulong that may sink to the bottom of the sea, but it would be too easy to find a spaceship in the vast sky.

He hid himself in the sea of ​​clouds and looked around.

Soon, his pupils shrank, and he looked through the white clouds and spotted a spaceship below the sea of ​​clouds.

With the huge distance between the black dragon and the spaceship, Mercer could clearly see everything happening on the deck of the spaceship in the distance.

Several scholars-looking people stood by the railing, looking ahead with binoculars.

Mercer's current position was on the side of the spacecraft. He turned his head and stared at the sea area, only to find that the sea area was empty. The only object that appeared was an island standing in the sea.

"..."

He stared closely at the island and took a long way to get closer to it - it was said that this research spacecraft would regularly deliver scholars, and he didn't want to be discovered by the other party at the moment.
