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

Flames spurted out of Mercer's mouth, but that wasn't what he wanted. He needed a truly effective attack... even if that would cause dangerous changes to his body.

As Mercer roared, the breath liquid was squeezed out bit by bit by Mercer, and the destructive energy hidden in the deepest layer also began to stir.

"Wow!"

Sensing Mercer's completely different aura, the red phoenix suddenly became anxious and screamed urgently, hovering above Mercer's head.

Seeing this scene, Xing Zhoulong also opened his eyes wide, showing an obvious look of surprise.

The red light gradually dazzled on his body until it passed through the armor and flickered from the gaps.

Mercer's pupils also glowed with a deep red light, as if his body had become a container for this energy - and now, this energy was about to burst out of his body.

Mercer suddenly raised his head, staring at Xingzhou Dragon with his scarlet vertical pupils, exuding a strange and dangerous aura.

For the first time, Xingzhoulong finally felt a sense of crisis coming from its heart, and it began to struggle to free its body from the dragon hunting stake.

With a click, the dragon hunting stake fixed on the mountain wall was completely detached due to its movement, and it slowly retreated, wanting to return to the long canyon.

——But it was too late. Along with Mercer's roar, a deep red light was released from Mercer's mouth. A scarlet light directly bombarded Xingzhou Dragon's body, breaking its skin in a moment and destroying the body. .

"hold head high......"

Xingzhou Long Yangtian roared, his eyes were occupied by pain, and he could even see red light flashing in his body from the other side of his body, destroying the tissues in his body indiscriminately!

hum-

The bombardment of light caused the air to vibrate. Xingzhoulong finally couldn't control his body. His huge body was hit by the light, almost absurdly smashing the mountain wall on the side. He was forced to retreat sideways and retreated into the canyon. outside the coast.

"Roar!"

The deep dark red light became much thicker again, and Mercer's limbs and tail were sunk deeply into the soil, resisting the huge recoil caused by his breath.

But as Mercer's breath intensified, his own body was unable to resist such power. He only heard a loud bang, and blood exploded from one part of Mercer's body, and then a series of uncontrolled explosions occurred from his body. , revealing a blood-red color.

The uncontrolled explosion also meant that Mercer's body was stretched to the limit. As the explosion sounded in his mouth, the light quickly dimmed.

——Merser was exuding black smoke, as if he was dead, but his eyes were still fixed on Xingzhou Long, his eyes full of intimidation.

The Xingzhou Dragon lay on the sea, drifting farther and farther with the sea, and finally disappeared from Mercer's eyes.

Seeing this scene, Mercer finally couldn't hold on anymore, slowly lowered his head and passed out.

Chapter 274: Despair

——Looking at Mercer's sleep, the red phoenix hovered in the air and let out an angry cry.

It flew up and scratched Mercer's body with its sharp claws, but it only scratched his armor and could not cause any damage to his body.

So, Red Phoenix stared at Mercer angrily, but still grabbed his body and flew towards the ice-veined snowfield.

At the edge of the canyon, the Bobcat leader looked at this scene, still a little dull.

"The black dragon...successfully defeated that big guy, nya?"

The red light spitting out of the black dragon's mouth made the hair on its body explode, and it could feel a powerful force even though it was so far away.

After standing there blankly for a long time, it suddenly woke up and turned to look around: "No, we have to put out the fire quickly!"

It left here in a hurry, and in the sky, a spaceship also left quietly.

——It was a spaceship from the Institute of Ecology. After making a deal with Mercer, we were able to observe the changes of Xingzhou Dragon up close.But now that Xingzhou Dragon has sunk into the sea, they have no reason to stay here.

The scholars on the spacecraft will submit all the recorded information, but not just Xingzhoulong's, but also information about Mercer.

......

"Did the black dragon fall into a deep sleep after releasing the strange red ray?"

In the Ecological Research Institute, the middle-aged man listened to his subordinates' reports and began to think.

This news is not a secret. When the black dragon was seriously injured and fell into sleep, the people in the Ice Vein Snowfield fell into a depression. Even if someone above them tried their best to comfort them, it was still to no avail.

After all, this is a force organized by the Black Dragon, with tough and brutal methods. Without the powerful strength of the Black Dragon as a deterrent, the Ice Vein Snowfield would never be able to achieve such a scale.

When the black dragon is still there, it can easily suppress any dissatisfaction in the ice-veined snowfield, allowing any class on that land to quickly and effectively execute the orders it receives; but conversely, when When the ice-veined snowfield is leaderless, this organization will quickly become fragile, and the order that has been organized for decades will quickly disintegrate in just a few years.

It can be said that this piece of ice and snow was established because of the black dragon, and also collapsed because of the black dragon.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing:

"Black Dragon, Black Dragon, when you kidnapped our precious talents, did you think of today?"

He waved his hand, narrowed his eyes and ordered to his subordinates: "Go, inform the Hunter Guild and the Resource Management Department, and bring some people. We want to get our things back."

——Everything in the Ice Vein Snowfield is based on the Black Dragon. Now as it sleeps, everything will slowly disappear...including all the promises related to the Floating Island.

This kind of agreement signed purely for profit has no possibility of being worth hesitating in the face of greater interests.

"I understand...but there is another natural disaster called Phoenix that we don't need to worry about?" The subordinate nodded, but hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Well... we really can't ignore its existence..."

He pondered for a while and asked, "Have you confirmed where 'Phoenix' is?"

"In the lava of the volcano," the subordinate replied.

"Then let them avoid the volcano when moving and don't provoke it. As long as we don't actively provoke it, we will be safe."

"Understood, I'll do it now."

......

——The black dragon fought with the natural disaster. In the end, the natural disaster caused the dragon to disappear, and the black dragon was on the verge of death and fell into a coma.

The news quickly spread among the senior officials of Floating Island, and they took quick action.

In the first year, they sent out and recovered some spies hidden in the Ice Vein Snowfield to confirm the authenticity of this intelligence.

At the same time, the Ice Vein Snowfield lost Mercer's control and quickly fell into chaos.

Although Mercer had not been here for a while, the situation this time was completely different from before. They knew clearly that the black dragon had only left temporarily or entered a short slumber.But this time, everyone saw the black dragon's scarred appearance. The serious injuries were basically the same as death.

After Red Phoenix brought Mercer back, he did not immerse him in the magma, but directly threw him aside, and then returned to the crater and never showed his face again.

Not only that, the volcanic magma gradually cooled and solidified under the cover of ice and snow, as if it was actively sealed.

Therefore, even if people still have a glimmer of hope in their hearts, they cannot help but become depressed.

The next year, after learning the news, Floating Island began further testing. They sent a large number of old, weak, sick and disabled people, and specifically requested to see the black dragon to discuss a deal.

Although this matter was blocked by Rachel, Floating Island also confirmed the news.

Since Mercer was no longer able to do things efficiently after being comatose, they only discovered the bad situation that brought about the population after the spacecraft sent by the floating island left.

Rachel couldn't bear that they died in large numbers in such an extreme environment, so she could only resist the dwindling resources of the floating island to take them in. The price of doing so was that the food and other resources produced by the floating island were gradually in short supply.

At the same time, there are spies among the people sent to the Floating Island. They secretly come into contact with the people abducted by Mercer, whether they are scholars or survivors on the Floating Island No. [-], causing the stability of the Floating Island to once again change. fell.

In the third year, when Rachel was about to angrily demand the repatriation of the defective population from the people on the Floating Island, the Floating Island had already gathered a large number of hunters, and began to suppress them by force without saying a word.

Some scholars still living in the village were brought back to the spaceship, and at the same time, endless plundering began on the floating island.

If they hadn't been frightened by the wild beasts tamed by the bobcats, they would have set up a camp here directly and taken complete control of the place during the winter.

During this period, they also tried to attack the forest, but because the sky above was the nest of the flying dragon, the most important food production place was not hit.

After their plunder, the people in the Ice Vein Snowfield were in despair, and only a few were willing to fight against the Floating Island to the end.

But facing the well-trained warriors on the floating island, their resistance was as worthless as a mantis trying to fight a chariot.

In the fourth year, they were robbed by the Floating Island and were forced to huddle in the cave, living in fear.

But this is not over yet. As if retaliating, the senior officials of Floating Island are still releasing a large number of people. Some of these people have serious flaws, and some are criminals who violate the order of Floating Island. They treat this place as garbage. The accumulation station serves as a place to relieve the pressure on floating island resources.

Some refugees froze to death in the ice and snow, while others managed to survive.

They either begged the people hiding in the caves for some living resources, or they formed a team with a large number of criminals and simply plundered the resources of the people in the ice veins and snow plains.

For a time, this ice-veined snowfield actually formed a strange order, but everyone knew that in this tragic situation, this order could not last long.

Nowadays, people in the Ice Vein Snowfield have placed their last hope countless times on a boulder in the deepest part of the volcano cave. Although they no longer have expectations, the past life of worry-free food and clothing is still rippling in their hearts.

——In the fifth year, a crack suddenly appeared on the boulder that had been sleeping for a long time.

Chapter 275: Awakening

...In the hazy world, Mercer felt that his body was undergoing some kind of change.

The destructive energy in the body became more radical under repeated overdraft, and it released some kind of radiation, causing its body to begin to mutate.

The energy completely eroded every part of his body. From what Mercer felt, he deeply understood what was happening to his body.

The consumed energy multiplied in his body, but the growth of energy represented the decay of another substance.

——The life of Mercer.

All the irreparable scars on his body came from this, and the decline in vitality had almost permanently taken away every part of his body.

Whether it's a damaged wing membrane or a body that can no longer feel external stimulation, it all represents the sluggishness of vitality.

If you use this ability frequently, what will happen to you?Thinking of this, the energy seemed to turn into a whirlpool of death and power, continuously drawing Mercer deeper until it completely engulfed him——

boom!

Mercer's muscles suddenly twitched, and the cracks in the boulder covering his body spread again.

In the dark cave, Mercer's body slowly exerted force, breaking free and shattering the solid matter surrounding his body.

During this period, he seemed to hear people's exclamations.

The cracks grew bigger and bigger, and Mercer's dark black scales were exposed from the solidified material. His body was covered with cracks, and his body with a more dazzling red light emitting from the cracks appeared in front of everyone.

Mercer broke away from the solidified object and looked up at the ceiling.

"Hoo-his-ho-"

Then, a low breathing sound came from the quiet cave, steady and thick, like the rolling thunder in the thick dark clouds.

Before Mercer could make any move, people surrounded him with deafening cheers. Their fanatical eyes were fixed on Mercer eagerly. When Mercer swept over the crowd, he saw them kneeling down and crying.

At the same time, a figure in the crowd walked towards him with the support of other lynxes. Rachel raised her head and listened to Mercer's breathing, her voice trembling:

"Is it you? Lord God..."

"How many years have I been sleeping?" Mercer glanced at her and found that she had become extremely haggard after he fell asleep.

Hearing the familiar voice in her head, Rachel opened and closed her mouth, and finally said softly: "Five years... a lot of things have happened during this time..."

"—Take me out."

Before Rachel could finish speaking, Mercer's cold words rang out, interrupting her words.

Rachel was stunned for a moment, then nodded, turned around, let everyone disperse, and walked away with her cane.

——Coming to the outside of the cave, Mercer squinted at the familiar blizzard and took a deep breath:

"Roar--"

The sound spread, causing the snowflakes to become disordered, and his voice was heard throughout the ice-veined snowfield, which meant that the black dragon overlord who had been dormant for five years in this land had awakened.

Everyone around them covered their ears and looked in pain. The nearby snow-capped mountains also responded to the roar, and the overwhelming snow-capped peaks appeared from a distance.

boom boom boom...

Looking at the avalanche in the distance, Mercer looked at Rachel again: "Tell me about the past few years."

"Yes, Lord God."

Rachel nodded and told her all about her experiences in the past five years. Mercer also listened quietly, with no trace of emotion visible on the dragon's face.

"...under the oppression of the floating island, we can only hide here and survive until you wake up..." Rachel raised her head, feeling Mercer's presence, and spoke Somewhat trembling: "You won't abandon us, will you?"

"The Ice Vein Snowfield is my property, and I will not allow others to trample on it at will."

Mercer stroked his chest and felt the existence of energy in his body, which was transformed from his own life.

He looked at his body again. Most of the armor had been removed artificially, except for the inner armor of the wings, because it had been bonded with Mercer's wing membrane from the beginning. Even if it had to be removed afterwards, Will directly cause damage to Mercer's wing membrane.

Mercer's body grew again in his sleep. The size of the inner armor of his wings looked a bit awkward, but it was not particularly obvious. It was enough to be able to fly.

"I haven't felt hungry in the five years I've been sleeping. What have you done to me?" he asked, looking at Rachel.

"Your body is losing weight rapidly at the beginning of your sleep. We hope you can wake up as soon as possible, so we inserted a hose into your mouth and inject liquid food regularly every day. Please don't blame us for being disrespectful." Rachel lowered her head. Head, Tao.
