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

Mercer raised his head and was not affected much. He just glanced at the fist of Kuaiyuanlong.

When the armor covering the fist of the Kuaisaurus hit Mercer's head, there was a clear cracking sound in the arm armor.

As a tree, it is hard enough, but the hardest thing on Mercer's body is not the scales, but the bones under the flesh. A blow of this force is undoubtedly like an egg hitting a stone.

The Kuaisaurus quickly came to his senses. It propped its limbs on the ground and stared at Mercer warily, but its fighting spirit was no longer as strong as before.

Instead, Mercer moved his head and took the initiative to hook his claws at it, indicating that the warm-up had just ended.

After a brief hesitation, Kuiyuanlong finally couldn't help but swoop towards Mercer.

Chapter 2: Within reach

If Mercer's purpose was not to extract the energy of the earth's veins, he might still try to subdue the Kuiyuanlong.

But I heard that after the energy of the earth veins was extracted, the creature would instinctively stop it, so to avoid any worries, Mercer chose to kill it right here.

The Kuaiyuan Dragon struck with a direct punch. Mercer did not dodge and faced him. His fist hit Mercer on the cheek, shattering several sharp teeth.

Mercer, who received a heavy punch, was not affected even for a moment. He shook his head and let the fist continue to graze after hitting him. Then he opened his mouth and bit the arm of the Kuiyusaurus directly. His biting muscles were strong and his sharp teeth Embedded in the arm of the Kuaisaurus, the arm armor covered with hard bark broke into pieces when Mercer bit it, piercing its skin.

The Kuaisaurus felt pain coming from its arm. It wanted to pull out its arm, but it couldn't match Mercer's strength, so it angrily beat Mercer's head with its other hand.

——These injuries hit Mercer's body and did not let him relax. Instead, Mercer vigorously shook his head and dragged the Kuaisaurus up.

"Ow—"

The roar of the Kuaisaurus added a hint of panic. Its lower limbs stepped on the ground, but Mercer dragged out two deep plow marks.

Mercer used his strength again and threw the Kuiyuanlong suddenly out, hitting a giant tree not far away.Then Mercer followed closely and pounced on the Kuiyuanosaurus. He controlled the Kuiyuanosaurus with both arms, pressed it to the ground, and opened his mouth to bite it.

"Ow!"

The armor on the shoulder was torn apart by Mercer, and the Kuiyuanlong made a painful sound and began to struggle hard.

The Kuiyuanlong raised his leg and kicked Mercer hard, but he didn't stop biting as if he couldn't feel anything.

——Several confrontations made Kuiyuanlong feel that the black dragon in front of him didn't want to be a living being at all, but an unknown monster that couldn't feel pain.The black dragon didn't show any flinch when attacking, but instead took the initiative to attack and bite.This behavior of giving up all defense and evasion and simply attacking made Kuaiyuanlong feel a sense of fear in his heart and fell into self-doubt.

"Ouch! Ouch——"

As the pain became more severe, the armor of Kuiyuanlong was completely torn off by Mercer.What was different from what he imagined was that the armor of Kuiyuanosaurus was not glued to the body. The armor made of this plant seemed to be still alive. The roots penetrated into the skin of Kuiyuanosaurus and absorbed its flesh and blood as nutrients.

Mercer swallowed these plants with flesh and blood, and then looked at the struggling and dying Kuaisaurus under him.

He licked his mouth, raised his hand towards it, and waved it down violently.

boom!

......

"Land the spaceship down."

Mercer shook his claws with red and white substances and said to everyone on the spaceship.

"Yes Yes......"

Although everyone couldn't see it, they knew from the sound that Mercer had resolved the battle. After a respectful response, he controlled the broken spacecraft to land.

The spacecraft was in dilapidated state, but fortunately there were no more serious injuries. For the hunters in the spacecraft, this was a common occurrence - the spacecraft was attacked by beasts on the way down, causing damage to the spacecraft, so they also had to master it. A certain level of spaceship repair skills.

The spaceship landed on the ground, and the hunters and black men spread out in all directions. On one side, they protected the spacecraft from attack, and on the other side, they walked into the cave to confirm the integrity of the earth energy extraction station.

After everyone wandered around for a while, they confirmed the location of the cave. There were indeed similar symbols engraved on it, indicating that this was the site of the Sky Island Federation. If any passing hunters or adventurers entered this place, they would do so at their own risk.

In response, Mercer just waved his wings and blew out some scale powder to let the black descendant go deep into it.

The unventilated environment of the cave was not conducive to the spread of scale powder, but thanks to the guidance of the black man, after they turned dozens of corners, Mercer also successfully felt the location of the extractor outside the cave.

——Fortunately, because the cave terrain is too complex, after the scholars checked the extraction station, they confirmed that there was no damage and that it had not been damaged by wild beasts.

Of course, another point is that it has only been a few decades since the fifth floating island last extracted energy, and many instruments have not been damaged by the erosion of time.

Now there is only one last problem left. The cave tunnel is small and a person of Mercer's size can only destroy the tunnel if he wants to enter it.

"All come out."

Mercer stood outside the cave and said towards the inside.

His voice spread through the black mist into the minds of everyone in the cave. After a while, everyone hurriedly walked out.

They didn't know what Mercer was going to do, but the only thing they knew was that if they didn't do what Mercer said, the black dragon would not care about their lives.

After confirming that everyone had walked out of the cave, Mercer felt the position and distance between himself and the collection station. After adjusting his position, he opened his mouth and fired a straight beam of breath.

The red light bombards the cave, destroying all materials it touches with destructive energy.

The breath of light beams continued to penetrate deeper and bombarded the mountain in front of them - this was the reason why Mercer wanted them to leave. While Mercer was expanding the entrance and tunnel, he was also destroying the structure of the mountain.He doesn't have the talent or skills to mine caves at will like Tiao Ren, so this kind of rough behavior will most likely cause the mountain to collapse.

After a while, Mercer closed his mouth, green smoke came out of his mouth, and the hole in front of him had been destroyed to a size that could accommodate Mercer's entry.

"Go back to the spaceship and wait. You are not allowed to leave until I come out."

Mercer turned his head and glanced at everyone, then walked into the burning red tunnel.

Stepping on the floor of the cave, Mercer could feel gravel falling on him, but he did not stop. Instead, he accelerated forward, walked straight through the tunnel, and came to a relatively spacious space.

On the ground here, there is a disk-shaped material inlaid on the ground, full of metallic technological texture, which is somewhat incompatible with the surrounding scene.

There are a large number of circuit-like patterns in the disc, and they branch out neatly, but none of them go in the same direction - the center of the disc.

There was an empty groove there, which was obviously meant to hold something, but now, Mercer himself was lying in it.

The scholars have made the remaining preparations just now, and now there is only one last step left.

Looking at the lever next to him, Mercer took a deep breath.

He understands that he is at a fork in the road to choose his destiny. Everything is ready to be completed. The energy of the ley lines connecting the ecological life of this area is within reach. Once he decides, he will have no way to retreat. Should he really do this? ?

"--let's start."

Without any hesitation, Mercer twitched his tail and pulled down the lever on the side.

Chapter 291: Transformation

——The lever fell in the other direction, and at that moment, the entire disk under Mercer lit up.

buzz buzz buzz...

The disk vibrated, and a mysterious and dazzling white light emerged from the lines on it and rushed towards the center.

As if feeling some kind of sign, the energy in Mercer's body became restless, and his heart beat faster.

The surrounding mountain walls seemed to be affected as well, with stones falling from above due to the vibration of the disk.

The various lines of the disk converged in the bifurcations, and the white light contained in them became more dazzling, piercing Mercer's eyes and causing pain.

But he still opened his eyes wide and stared at the gathering light in front of him.

——Until the light touched Mercer, the energy of the earth's veins poured into his body, and an indescribable pain emerged from Mercer's body.

At that moment, his pupils shrank to the size of a needle, and Mercer couldn't help but scream, and the sound spread in the cave.

"Roar!"

Scenes of what happened in the past appeared in his mind: the heavy fists of the Kuaisaurus hit his face, and kicked his abdomen. The pain was transmitted to his brain over and over again, making him feel all the pain he had experienced before. Be mentally prepared to be completely destroyed.

How long have you been flying without sleep?Mercer has never known what exhaustion is since he lost his senses. His body has always been like a machine that never stops running. Even if he is tired, it can be eliminated by the hormones stimulating the brain.

But just because you can't feel it doesn't mean they don't exist. Pain, fatigue, sleepiness... these still exist in Mercer's body, but because the nervous tissue has been destroyed by energy, they have never been exposed to the surface. Until now, Mercer once again felt what pain was.

——But that's not all that tortured him. His heart was beating rapidly, absorbing the earth energy that filled Mercer's body. The beating speed had exceeded Mercer's usual frequency, and the blood was flowing rapidly because of this, even if his blood vessels Parts of it had already cracked due to this, and blood gradually overflowed from the gaps in his scales.

Boom, boom, boom...

Mercer raised his front paws, tearing at his body as if to vent the pain, tearing apart his scales and tearing off the armor on his wings, even if doing so would shatter the wing membranes, leaving him completely helpless. flight.

It wasn't until his body was shattered into pieces and only the skeleton of his wings was left, that Mercer trembled and stopped moving.

At this time, his body was covered with blood, and mucus covered his whole body, sticking to the falling rocks around him.

[Pupation] was activated under his control, and Mercer decided to force himself to fall asleep to resist this pain.

He lowered his head, accepting the sleepiness that would make people faint, and at the same time letting his body release hormones to numb the pain.

As the surrounding stones fell, they buried Mercer's body bit by bit - in the eyes of everyone outside the cave, they only saw the rumbling sounds of the mountains, and then the mountains collapsed, making a deafening noise.

"This is......"

Seeing the cave in front of them covered with falling rocks, people gulped and felt at a loss for a moment.

However, the next moment, the surrounding voices fell silent. People looked at each other, and one scholar suddenly changed his face:

"No, get on the spaceship quickly and let's get out of here."

Although everyone didn't know why, they still ran towards the spacecraft after seeing the scholar's panic expression.

——When the spacecraft slowly rose, they realized how correct their decision was.

A large number of wild beasts rushed out of the grass. They were wandering around, showing restless expressions, as if they were looking for something. The air was filled with tension.

Maybe they don't know why they are here, but they instinctively feel that something important is about to be lost, so they subconsciously come here.

Seeing this scene, the people on the spacecraft suddenly looked scared, and the captain immediately ordered: "Add fuel! Let the speed of ascent be higher!"

They should be thankful that Mercer had already repelled the group of flying dragons, otherwise if they encountered the group of flying dragons in this situation, they would have no chance of surviving.

People couldn't leave for a while, so after flying high into the sky, they could only decide to stay here and wait for Mercer to wake up.

......

As for Mercer, changes were rapidly taking place in his body.

The frequency of heart beating has found a balance. The parts of Mercer's body that were damaged by the energy of the earth's veins are rapidly repairing. Mercer's body, filled with the energy of the earth's veins, is growing at an extremely alarming rate.

The injuries began to heal, the cracks in the front paws, hind limbs and various parts of the torso began to shrink, the wings also grew rapidly, and the wing membranes in the huge wings that had been destroyed by Mercer also began to be repaired.

——But the most dramatic change is the inside of his body. The heart absorbs the energy of Mercer's earth veins and guides them to flow to Mercer's body more efficiently.Under the influence of earth vein energy, his body was mutated even more seriously.

The plasma mutated after carrying too much energy from the earth's veins. It would directly transport the energy from the earth's veins to Mercer's whole body, just like transporting nutrients to replenish the body.

Mercer's stomach has also undergone significant changes - his stomach has almost become an endless energy converter. The interior is not only filled with high-strength gastric acid, but also has the existence of earth vein energy, which is in the stomach. The reaction is similar to but less active than when Mercer releases Beam Breath.But because of this, it can greatly speed up the decomposition and absorption of food without harming Mercer itself. It can even decompose and absorb the first portion of food before the intestines and stomach wriggle the second portion of food into the digestive bag.

But the most obvious change is not this. Under the influence of the energy in his body, his stomach can re-convert substances derived from earth energy into earth energy.In this way, as long as Mercer continues to eat, the decay rate of his vitality in the energy of the earth's veins will be much slower, and he will no longer need to frequently come to the extraction station to absorb energy.

And this involves another question - what exactly is the material derived from the energy of the earth's veins.

According to what Xingzhoulong said: "All things are born on the earth, and the energy in your body is the essence of the earth and another form of life." From this point of view, I am afraid that everything in this world is earth energy. Derived from.

Regardless of sand, gravel, vegetation, or birds and animals...

Therefore, in Mercer's stomach, the Nirvana Stone alloy chain he tried to swallow also quickly decomposed.

Time passed slowly, but not too long. Mercer opened his eyes in the collapsed cave. A deep red light shot out from his eyes, illuminating the scene in front of him and then slowly dimming.

Chapter 292: Tragic Feast

——My whole body was pressed tightly...

Mercer moved around in the broken earth for a while, and when he found that he couldn't move, he smiled.

He was very happy. Although he was trapped in the rocks, the urgency in every part of his body told him that he had regained feeling again.

He tried to struggle a few more times, but naturally he struggled again to no avail.

If he is outside the mountain and gives himself enough room to exert force, Mercer is confident that he can penetrate the mountain - he means using brute force to attack and truly penetrate, not using his claws like Pangolin. Dig bit by bit.

But now, I am trapped and have no room to exert my strength, so I can only think of another way.

If Mercer encountered this situation before sleeping, he would not hesitate to choose to use breath attack, because this is the only fastest method he has.But now, he had other ideas.

——How about just eating through this mountain?

Feeling his hungry belly, Mercer licked his mouth.

Just as he was told, he stuck his head out, opened his mouth at a ninety-degree angle, bit off a stone, and swallowed it without even chewing.

The stomach wall filled with mucus will prevent sharp food from causing harm to itself, and also speed up the process of food swallowing. The stone falls into the digestive bag, and the gastric acid filled with leyline energy quickly wraps it up, and Mercer reaches forward to swallow it. After the second quickest stone, break it down quickly.

The decomposed stone was nowhere to be found, and Mercer couldn't feel whether it had really turned into earth vein energy, but it might be because the change was too slight.

Feeling this change, Mercer opened his mouth and swallowed the surrounding rocks and soil with confidence.
