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

——It has been several years since they mutated, and their changes have slowed down, seeming to have reached the limit of their potential.

However, the number of these mutated fire dragons did not decrease, and even increased under Mercer's arrangement.

Feeling Mercer's arrival, the group of mutated fire dragons raised their heads and stared at Mercer above them.

Mercer glanced at them and had a general understanding of the situation of this group of mutated fire dragons.

Over the past few years, under Mercer's strict supervision, they no longer have fatal fights. Although they still suffer major and minor injuries, the wildness inspired by the mutation is still not as good as Mercer's deterrence, so they have restrained themselves a lot.

——Five mutant fire dragons, but the number of mutated fire dragon cubs is double digits. Once something unexpected happens to these five mutant fire dragons, these fire dragon cubs can become the mainstay of the new generation in the Ice Vein Snowfield within a few years.

Seeing this, Mercer felt relieved and issued an order to the group of mutated fire dragons:

——There has been a fight recently... it will be your turn to appear soon.

Chapter 265: Compulsory recruitment

——Under Mercer's observation, Xingzhou Dragon is getting closer and closer to the canyon forest. In just a few months, it will face the defense project prepared by Mercer.

As for how much effect it can play, he is not sure.We can only organize as many psychologically strong teams as possible so that Mercer's tactics can be carried out stably, that is, those hunters who have faced large beasts.

However, Mercer did not inform the hunters of the news, but kept it secret for the time being.

Otherwise, based on Mercer's understanding of the hunters, they would definitely not want to face the natural disaster and would run away secretly.

But even if Mercer concealed the news, everyone working there kept silent about it, and the hunters with keen senses were also aware of it.

The tense atmosphere lingering among the people gave the hunters an ominous premonition early on.

Although it is not yet known what they are about to face, a hint of retreat has already arisen in their hearts.

After all, their actions were all behind the Hunter Guild, and they themselves were not within the rules of the floating island. Moreover, counting the time, they had stayed in the Ice Vein Snowfield for a short time, so they naturally planned to leave.

Mercer was already prepared for this.

......

"I heard news that you seem to be planning to leave here?"

While confirming the progress of the forest project, Mercer came to the camp where hunters gathered and stared at each hunter.

As luck would have it, the leader of the Sand Viper Hunting Group was standing right in front of him, unable to avoid him.

To capture the thief first, capture the king. Moser understood this truth when he was a little dragon, and the same applies here.

From his observation, among this group of hunters, the one with the strongest strength, the highest status, and the greatest say was naturally the Sand Viper Hunting Group. Therefore, their leader became the main target of Mercer's suppression.

The leader of the Sand Viper Hunting Group was not aware of Mercer's intention. He just calmed down his expression, raised his head and stared at Mercer, and seriously asked the question that no one dared to say:

"What? Are you planning to forcibly imprison us here? Like those scholars?"

After hearing these words, Mercer lowered his head and looked at him, and the atmosphere suddenly became silent.

"Since I was able to imprison those scholars there, I can also allow you to be treated like that." As Mercer's faint words rang in everyone's minds, everyone's faces suddenly stiffened, but then, Mercer Then he said: "——But I don't. Imprisoning your freedom is not good for me. I only need you to do one thing for me, and then you can leave at any time. Of course, if you want to stay here, I welcome you."

"Then I'm leaving now." Captain Sha Viper replied without hesitation, staring at Mercer closely.

"Well... no." Mercer pondered for a while and replied.

Hearing these words, Captain Sand Viper laughed: "Isn't this considered freedom from imprisonment?"

"It will do me no good to imprison you, and it will do me no good to let you leave at will. No matter what you choose, you must stay here. Only after the event I want you to do is completed, can I let you go." Black Dragon still had a leisurely expression, as if everything was under his control, which annoyed the leader of Sand Viper.

The lines on his face deepened, and he stared at Mercer without fear:

"Then I must remind you, Black Dragon, I am not your subordinate. At most, I can only be regarded as your collaborator. I can leave and come when I want! You can't just order me around!"

Under his angry scolding, Black Dragon's expression became indifferent and he stared at him coldly, his vertical pupils filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

But for hunters like them who have long been accustomed to being small and broad, this level of deterrence is not enough. He glared at Mercer, then turned and left:

"Who knows what's coming next! I've done enough for you!"

"..." Mercer stared at his back intently and said slowly, "Really?"

——The next moment, Mercer started to move.The huge body burst out with unparalleled speed, and the scarlet light in his eyes flashed across a stream of light, leaving the trajectory of his actions in everyone's sight.

The captain of the Sand Viper, who had been alert for a long time, turned around and looked at the incoming dragon claws with wide eyes, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He had thought that the black dragon would use strong methods to force them to stay, but he never thought that Mercer would act so decisively and move so quickly!

boom!

Along with the sound of bones breaking, spider web-like cracks appeared on the ground, a circle of dust turned into ripples and spread to the surrounding area, and a heavy roar sounded, resounding in everyone's ears.

The dust slowly dispersed, and the person pressed in the black dragon's claws was the leader of the Sand Viper, with his eyes wide open and vomiting blood.

The black dragon lowered his head, stared at him from a very close distance, and whispered:

"I don't have a high degree of control over my body. Sometimes I hit hard, and sometimes I hit lightly. You're lucky, you can just lie down for a few months and it'll be fine."

Fortunately, the hunters regarded wearing armor as daily wear, otherwise, under this blow, the leader of the Sand Viper would have been directly beaten to a pulp.

"You...despicable..."

Captain Sandviper squeezed out bloody words from his mouth, his eyes full of weakness.

But Mercer ignored him, and instead raised his head and glanced at everyone. His cold gaze made everyone present afraid to act rashly, as if as long as he made the slightest move to escape, the black dragon in front of him would fly away without hesitation. Come up and kill yourself.

After calming everyone down, Mercer took out a piece of paper from the slit in the armor and returned his gaze to Captain Sand Viper:

"I need to remind you of the error in your words - you are indeed not my subordinate, but you are not my collaborator either. If you insist on saying so, all of you were 'forced' to come here."

He let go of his hand, and Black Mist brought the fluttering paper to Luo Qiu not far away. In his surprised eyes, what was printed on the paper was the seal from the Hunter Guild.

"This..." He raised his head and looked at Mercer, then lowered his head to look at the extremely heavy paper, and said in a trembling voice: "The Hunter Guild...required us to come here. ?”

"This is not a request, it is an order."

Mercer replied calmly.

——As for why a black dragon can get the seal of the Hunter Guild, it is naturally thanks to the Ecological Research Institute who traveled thousands of miles to come here. With their close cooperation with the Hunter Guild, it is not difficult to get a seal.

The price for this is all the research on the Natural Disaster Continent Dragon in Ice Vein Snowfield.

After hearing Luo Qiu's words, the hunters all showed shocked expressions. Even the leader of the Sand Viper under Mercer's claws struggled for a few times and then stopped.

"Stay here and listen to my command, and I will give you your freedom soon - this is the order of the Hunter Guild, and it is also my order."

Mercer left these words and loosened his claws: "Cure him, and he won't end up like this next time."

Chapter 266: Signal of natural disaster

After Mercer taught the group of hunters a lesson, several months passed, and the aura that made it difficult for Mercer to breathe was getting closer and closer.

Not only himself, but other creatures also showed such emotions to a greater or lesser extent.

The most obvious manifestation was in the canyon forest, where almost all creatures began to flee. The Ice Vein Snow Principle was calmer because of the comfort of the bobcats and the distance.

The same is true for Mercer. He eats and drinks every day. Except for occasionally going to see natural disasters from a distance, he behaves as usual.

——But one day, when the red phoenix emerged from the lava and looked in the direction of Xingzhou Dragon, Mercer knew that it was time.

Mercer stood beside it on all fours and called to the red phoenix:

——It will definitely come here. Its huge body will destroy the ecology here, and I am afraid that even the volcano will not survive.

Faced with these words, Hong Huang just looked quietly in the direction of the seaside, then suddenly cried out and turned to look in the opposite direction.

——Its purpose is there, and if you want to get there as quickly as possible, you must step on this land.

What?Mercer frowned and asked in a low voice:

——Where is that?What is its purpose?

——Another natural disaster, there is a grudge between them.

Speaking of this, a look of disdain appeared in Hong Huang's eyes, as if he was mocking the battle between the natural disasters.

Another natural disaster... The direction Hong Huang was looking at just now seemed to be far, far away. It seemed that the natural disaster was quite far away from here.

But even so, Mercer still had doubts in his heart:

--How did you know?

——Don’t even think about our unique abilities.

Facing Red Phoenix's seeming ridicule, Mercer also keenly grasped a key word.

"I'll wait" - So, do all natural disasters react to each other?

This thought only flashed through Mercer's mind. If he said it like this, Mercer had reason to think that Red Phoenix would be unhappy.

He looked at Honghuang and asked the most critical question:

——So, are you going to take action?

The red phoenix glanced at him and cried.

This is its territory, and even natural disasters will not allow it to destroy it at will.

Hearing this, Mercer breathed a sigh of relief and nodded towards it:

——I understand, just wait for me.

Honghuang didn't answer, but raised his head and squinted at Mercer as a sign of agreement.

So Mercer nodded, looked at the cabin not far away, and called Rachel: "Arrange those people and stay in the spaceship. If anything unexpected happens, escape immediately."

"......I understand."

Mercer had reminded her before, so Rachel was not surprised, nodded, and quickly started to prepare.

Then, Mercer raised his head, took a deep breath, and roared in the direction of the forest.

"Roar--"

The deafening roar spread across the ice-veined snowfields to the forest in the distance.

Mercer's roar echoed inside the swamp forest, and a brief silence fell.

But soon, the forest became noisy again.

The flying dragons took off from their nests and flew in the direction of Mercer.

They are all young to adult flying dragons, leaving their heirs and significant other in the lair. As early as a month ago, Mercer sent the lynxes to provide them with food without sparing any effort. Now every flying dragon is in the best condition. period.

Even the most ill-tempered flying dragon calmly crowded together with other flying dragons, crossed the ice-veined snowfield, and came to hover above Mercer and Red Phoenix.

- let's go.

Mercer turned his head and said to Red Phoenix, who turned his head and seemed to be unhappy with his powerful voice, but still spread his wings and flew away.

Mercer also followed, and the dragons followed behind Mercer. The mighty dragons flew over the village. Everyone who saw this scene was shocked. Many orcs even knelt on the ground and made pious gestures. pray.

After flying over the coast, after three or four sun and moon cycles, they arrived above the canyon forest.

Mercer and Red Phoenix landed from the sky, but Red Phoenix arrived far away from the people, while Mercer landed directly and roughly on the ground, allowing those people to leave in a hurry.

"...Lord Black Dragon."

Seeing the arrival of Mercer and other flying dragons, Gulu walked over with a solemn expression on his face, already expecting it in his heart.

"Yes." Mercer nodded and glanced at everyone, "How is the defense platform?"

"It's done. Not only the platform, but also everything you asked for has been completed." Gulu stroked his gray beard and said seriously.

"Tell me more about it."

Gulu nodded and pointed to the cannons on the platform not far away: "A total of five hundred cannons and fifteen thousand shells, all have been arranged."

Platform builders line up layer by layer from one end of the canyon to the other, and the scene is extremely spectacular.

On the top of the platform, there is a cannon at regular intervals, and to the right of the cannon are piles of boxes, with a total of thirty cannonballs in the boxes on each side.

Under Forging Mao's expectation, this kind of shell can explode after contacting the target, causing the greatest shock.

Gulu paused, then pointed to the end of the canyon: "At the end of the canyon, there are two dragon hunting stakes on the left and right sides. According to your request, it has been filled with gunpowder and is very powerful, but after using it, it will only It can break.”

"That's enough." Mercer glanced in that direction. On both sides of the end of the canyon, there was a dragon-hunting stake disassembled from the spacecraft and installed on the mountain wall.

It won't be used a few times anyway, and it will be enough to consume the durability to maximize the damage in the next battle.

Not only the dragon hunting stakes, but almost everything on this defense platform are disposable items prepared for Xingzhou Dragon. Mercer almost unreservedly maximized the potential of all the props that can play a role. It can be said that After the battle with Xingzhou Dragon, these will all turn into a pile of scrap metal.
