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

"What do you mean?"

The scholar quickly explained: "That's it. The force field is a unique energy in the natural disaster. It can still exist even if it is separated from the natural disaster. From the information you got from the emperor, we judge that the force field is the natural disaster's body." A manifestation of ley line energy.”

After listening to the scholar's words, Mercer pondered for a moment and said, "You mean to say that the power of natural disasters in this land is dissipating, right?"

"That's what it means! If we let it go, the nutrients of the land will be dispersed one after another, and in the end, the best ending of this ice-veined snowfield will become an ordinary land!"

Following the scholar's words, Mercer also turned his attention back to the sealed crater in front of him.

This was undoubtedly done by Hong Phoenix, who absorbed the energy into his body and gradually restored his body.

It is not that difficult for Mercer to stop it. It is that simple to smash the solidified lava in front of him, pull out the red phoenix and drive it out again.

"..."

After being silent for a while, Mercer said calmly: "Isn't that great? That means the snowstorms won't be so frequent every year, right?"

"...This is true, but..."

"That's fine, don't worry about it."

"But Lord God! If this happens, the preciousness of this land will..." Hearing what Mercer said, the scholar suddenly became anxious.

"——I know the reason for this, but I don't want to do it. What can you do to me?" Mercer turned his head and asked the scholar in a low voice. His scarlet vertical pupils stared at the scholar, which immediately frightened him. Jump.

"I...I understand..." The scholar took a while to calm down, his thighs were a little weak, and he turned around and left Mercer's sight.

After doing this, Mercer turned to look at the solidified lava.

After all, Red Phoenix saved his life and tried to help him extract energy. If Red Phoenix was expelled again just because of the scholar's reason, Mercer himself would find it difficult to accept it.

——However, if Red Phoenix takes the initiative to attack him, it is a different matter. Even Red Phoenix cannot stop himself from absorbing the energy of the earth veins.

Thinking of this, Mercer turned around and scratched the ground with his sharp claws hanging on the ground, leaving a claw mark.

......

"One hundred hunters, five hundred black people, as well as scholars, crew members and others have been prepared at the floating island port and are ready to travel with you at any time."

Half a month later, Rachel told Mercer that before their eyes, there were a large number of flying dragons hovering above the floating island that was almost close to the ground.

With their existence, even after Mercer leaves, no one on the floating island will dare to betray them.

"While I'm away, don't let anything happen that I don't want to see happen." Mercer turned to look at Rachel and said, "If it happens, you can also use extreme methods to suppress it. You have My dear, those blacks will listen to you."

"......I understand."

Rachel responded, so Mercer spread his wings and flew away from here, arriving above the floating island.

As he let out a low roar, a spaceship slowly rose and flew towards Mercer.

"Where are we going, Lord Black Dragon?"

On the spaceship, the captain asked respectfully.

"Where is the Earth Core Collection Station closest to us?" Mercer asked.

"Well...it's the Labyrinth Mountain Forest Collection Station on the west side." The captain took out a valuable map that he had no right to look at due to his position, and then said in the direction of Mercer.

Then he paused again and said hesitantly: "It's just that there is the collection station of Floating Island No. [-]."

"It's ours now."

Hearing Mercer's unkind words, the captain was a little embarrassed, but he still did not dare to disobey Mercer's decision. He nodded and then turned to give instructions to the surrounding crew members.

The spacecraft turned around and flew towards the so-called maze forest.

Chapter 288: Maze Forest

——The so-called labyrinth forest means, as the name suggests, it exists in a high mountain in a forest.

In order to extract energy from the earth's veins, people finally walked into naturally formed caves in the mountains and forests and placed tools on the ground to extract energy most efficiently.

This is not a safe job. In the past, places with abundant leyline energy were home to a large number of creatures, and those creatures were usually extremely powerful.

Moreover, people have not known the reason before. When transferring the leyline energy storage equipment, it will attract a large number of biological attacks.But now Mercer and the others can understand the reason for doing so. The energy of the earth's veins is equivalent to the lifeblood of that area, and they are naturally not allowed to take it away. Therefore, the beasts living there will instinctively snatch this storage device. For the landing and landing of the spacecraft, Leaving caused great distress.

But there is no way. For the floating island, it is an important energy source to ensure that it can stay away from the ground and not be invaded by beasts. In addition, each time it is extracted, it can last for decades or even hundreds of years, so in Spending a lot of manpower and material resources in a short period of time to snatch leyline energy from beasts is acceptable in the eyes of the floating island.

——But then again, after the energy of the earth veins is extracted once, it can supply a floating island to float for a long time. Because of this, when the floating island is not collecting energy, there is no one to guard this collection station, and they also Don't worry about the remaining instruments being damaged.For them, they are lucky if the tool they absorbed is still there, but if it is destroyed by a beast, they can just repair it.

Because compared with the resources needed to keep people guarding this place and the resources needed to repair the earth energy extraction equipment, the latter is more cost-effective.

It is for this reason that when Mercer and the spaceship arrived here, he did not find any trace of human existence.

The only thing that appeared was a group of flying dragons staring at the spaceship eagerly. Such an astonishing number was even more than the flying dragons Mercer had deliberately cultivated in the swamp forest.

An idea even came up in Mercer's mind, that is, to bring all these flying dragons to the swamp forest. This way his combat effectiveness will undoubtedly be greatly improved. If he wants to fight against natural disasters, he may be able to use his numerical advantage to take advantage. .

However, Mercer quickly forgot about this idea. If he insisted on taking such a large number of flying dragons back, the swamp forest would probably be unable to feed them.

——Facing the hostility of the dragons, Mercer just slowly flew above the spacecraft and gave an order, "Cover your ears."

Everyone immediately covered their ears and became nervous.

The next moment, Mercer opened his mouth and roared with unquestionable momentum, shocking the flying dragons around him.

"--Roar!"

Mercer's voice was louder than that of ordinary ferocious beasts, all thanks to the blessing of the [Roar] skill. Similarly, his own momentum also spread in this roar, ordering them to get out of here.

The sound spread from Mercer's mouth. Even if the people closest to Mercer covered their ears in time, they were still affected by Mercer's roar. The violent vibration caused by the sound hit their skin, and they felt that their whole bodies were filled with pain and itching, and they couldn't wait to hear it. Scratching with hands.

There was a hint of fear in the Feilong's eyes, and he naturally felt fear in Mercer's roar. But just when they were about to retreat, a roar came from not far away.

"Ow!"

That roar was not as majestic as Mercer, nor was it as shocking as Mercer, but after hearing the sound, the flying dragon perked up and stared at Mercer again.

Faced with this situation, Mercer was not surprised. In this huge forest, it was normal for there to be a king who could command all beasts.

So Mercer stared at the direction where the roar came from, but after a stalemate with the flying dragon for a while, he didn't see the arrival of the king.

what happened?

A trace of doubt arose in his heart, and then an idea emerged - could this king actually not be able to fly?

In this case, let's test it out.

Staring at the flying dragons around him, Mercer opened his mouth, and the flames swept across each flying dragon, sticking the flames to them before they could react.

Considering that there was a forest below, Mercer controlled the concentration of the breath liquid so that the flames would not spread, but it was not easy to wait for it to extinguish. Whether they could survive or not depended on the vitality of the flying dragons.

The flames spread across the body of the flying dragon. Some struggled to fall down, while others carried the flames and began to attack Mercer. It would take some time for them to notice the fire on their bodies.

So Mercer took the initiative to pounce on the group of flying dragons, waving his sharp claws and leaving scars on their bodies.

Mercer is not wearing the Nirvana Stone armor now. After five years of sleeping, it has become extremely ill-fitting. But even so, the group of flying dragons did not cause any harm to Mercer.

It may also be because he ate some Nirvana Stone Chains - originally Mercer didn't expect it to be digested by his stomach, but maybe because of the [Heart of the Furnace], he could feel more of the energy of the earth's veins It gathered in his stomach and digested a small part of the Nirvana Stone Chain.

But no matter what, with Mercer's current physical strength, he does not need to dodge or resist at all, he only needs to simply attack.

boom!

Mercer shot out a palm and slapped a flying dragon on the head.Mercer's palm structure was not good at making fists, but even with such a simple wave of his palm, he could kill the flying dragon in one blow.

Then he spread his wings and turned quickly, and a fireball shot out, exploding on the body of another flying dragon.

At the same time, other people on the spaceship were not idle either, taking out cannonballs and blasting them at several other flying dragons.

In a short period of time, this group of flying dragons suffered heavy casualties. Even if the forest king in the distance roared again, they fled one after another.

Among this group of flying dragons, Mercer himself repelled nearly [-]% of the flying dragons, and successfully engraved the deterrence into their hearts. Even if they meet again next time, the chance of them attacking Mercer is greatly reduced.

The difference between Mercer and humans is revealed here. It has nothing to do with strength. If they are small hunters, they will never be defeated. But Mercer, who is more than 50 meters long, can stand on the same level. Mercer despised basically all flying dragons. If it weren't for the force of the forest king, these flying dragons probably wouldn't fight Mercer.

After shaking off the remaining blood in his palm and looking at the flying dragon escaping, Mercer turned to the group of spaceships and said, "Landing, be careful."

Chapter 289: Forest King

Under Mercer's instructions, the spacecraft slowly landed towards its destination, which was at the foot of a towering mountain forest. The dense trees blocked the sky and the sun, and even the scenery below could not be seen.

This kind of forest that is twisted layer by layer to form several active areas seems not uncommon in this world, but it may be because of the energy of the earth's veins that the trees here are taller than in ordinary areas.

——However, when the spacecraft landed at a certain height, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded. Mercer's pupils shrank and he turned his head to look in that direction.

A thick tree trunk flew from a distance and shot straight towards the spacecraft.

Only a loud bang was heard, the spacecraft was hit by a tree, the hull was penetrated by the tree trunk and the power it contained, and nearly half of it was pierced into the interior of the spacecraft.

The spacecraft shook, and some hunters rushed to the edge immediately, using telescopes to look at the direction in which the tree trunks were flying - but they found nothing. Everything they looked at was dense green leaves.

Mercer narrowed his eyes, glanced at the tree trunk, and then stared at the forest. He discovered something unusual there.

The tree trunk was sharpened. Although I don’t know what was used to sharpen such a thick tree trunk, it is undeniable that this tree trunk has traces of artificial processing... If the other party really are human words.

Rustle, rustle...

As the leaves swayed, a huge figure leaped out of the trees like a cannonball and grabbed the spaceship in mid-air.

Click!

A part of the tree trunk exposed outside the spacecraft was grabbed by the figure. The trunk's movement inside destroyed a large number of structures, causing the spacecraft to shake violently.

But Mercer also managed to see the creature in its entirety.

——This is a giant ape with a height of more than 30 meters. Its whole body is covered with armor-like trees, and the most obvious part is its head, where there are two sharp horns spiraling upward, full of intimidating domineering.

It just clung to the tree trunk of the spaceship, staring at Mercer.

"It's Kuiyuanlong!" After seeing the creature clearly, a scholar exclaimed: "According to the records, the largest it was was only over 15 meters! How could it grow like this?!"

Hearing this sentence, Mercer thought of the information he learned at the Institute of Ecology, which happened to record such a creature:

The Kuaisaurus... is tall and strong, not only powerful but also extremely intelligent in combat. Even a team of most experienced hunters will suffer at its hands.

"Ow!"

When Mercer heard the roar, he understood that this was the sound made by the forest king just now.

But its behavior did not stop because of the roar. After using the tree trunk to stabilize its body, Kuaisaurus grabbed the spaceship with one hand, pulled out the tree trunk with the other hand, and threw it towards Mercer. The target was Mercer's wing.

Feeling the sound of the shot breaking through the air, Mercer's expression changed slightly, he spread his wings and flew in another direction, avoiding the tree trunk.

His behavior was not because of fear, but because he was surprised that this creature named Kuiyuanlong could have such amazing strength.

——The next moment, Kuiyuanosaurus used both arms to fly towards Mercer. The tree trunk in front of him made Mercer subconsciously dodge in the direction where Kuiyuanosaurus was advantageous, so Kuiyuanosaurus also successfully grabbed one of Mercer's wings. , and fell down with Mercer.

boom!

With a loud noise, the falling bodies of Mercer and Kuiyuanlong crushed countless branches, and the two were separated due to the impact of the tree trunks.

Mercer landed in a pond, and as the water splashed, several fish also landed on the grass.

He shook his head, climbed up from the pond, and stared unkindly at the Kuaisaurus not far away. The latter quickly climbed up, beating his chest with his arms that were so thick that they could be said to be deformed, and making a threatening noise. Roar.

Mercer no longer had any contempt, and its combat wisdom should not be underestimated. It understood that if it wanted to repel the spaceship, it must defeat Mercer, so it first threw a tree trunk to feint attack, and then when Mercer thought that the Kuaisaurus wanted to destroy the spacecraft , and used tree trunks to drive him in a direction beneficial to him, and then dragged Mercer to the ground to prevent Mercer from flying into the air to harass him.

Thinking of this, Mercer touched his chin, which was hit when he fell down just now.

With such fighting consciousness and jumping ability, it is no wonder that it is the king of the forest, and it is no wonder that the group of flying dragons obey its orders.

At this time, the Kui Ape Dragon rushed towards Mercer. It did not bite like a wild beast, but instead waved its fist covered with hard armor.

As soon as Mercer lowered his head, his fist grazed his own sharp horn, but the other hand of the Kuiyuanlong also grabbed Mercer and accurately grasped Mercer's horn.

What came next was the longing roar of the Kuiyuanlong.

It can be heard that it covets Mercer's two corners.

——How come a monkey likes to show off his horns... Mercer muttered in his heart, but did not stop.He didn't worry about the possibility that the horn would break. Instead, he pushed forward proactively. The hard and sharp horns easily cut through the armor on the abdomen of the Kuiyuanlong.

The latter immediately stepped back. After releasing Mercer's sharp horn, he clenched his fist and swung it again.

He twisted his waist and shoulders, and punched out from top to bottom. This punch actually made Mercer feel the shadow of the big swing in human boxing.

The fist's inertial power and speed increased exponentially, and it hit Mercer's head - and then the next second, Mercer's palm also lifted from bottom to top, and hit the chin of Kuaisaurus.

Mercer's head was knocked down by the fist, and his scales were partially shattered by the blow, but the Kuaisaurus on the other side covered his chin and took a few steps back, his eyes a little confused.

——The power is very powerful, it can be said that it has amazing strange power, even above the Red Phoenix.According to Mercer's knowledge, there is no creature other than himself that has greater strength than this ape dragon.

But the defense is not so good.
