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

"There is one more thing before that." Mercer raised his head and stared at the scholars and the people surrounding the place. His scarlet vertical pupils seemed to see through everyone who was doing this. "Before I leave, At that time, something very unpleasant seemed to have happened here.”

The joyful atmosphere was gone, replaced by a tense atmosphere.Under the black mist, Mercer felt that some of the people present were nervous and guilty, but he remained unmoved.

Mercer glanced around and looked aside: "Tell me, who is there?"

Under the nervous gaze of Mercer and everyone else, Rachel came out and took out a list: "This is the list of those who launched the protest. Please take a look."

There were pictures of people printed on each list. Looking around, Mercer easily found them among the crowd.

"get out."

Mercer bared his fangs and shouted.

The bodies of the people who were stared at by Mercer were shaken, and a voice sounded from their hearts at the same time: "This black dragon, it is calling me!"

People showed fear, but even so, some still showed hesitation, and some even slowly backed away, trying to escape.

But the next moment, as the crowd roared, a hand covered with black scales suddenly struck from behind, grabbing the bodies of those people, and the black man threw them all in front of the people.

Looking at the behavior of the black people, people remembered what they did here, and they were about to leave in panic.

"Don't leave! I want all of you to see what will happen if you disobey my orders."

Under Mercer's low roar, even some scholars were pressed to the ground by the black men and could not move.

"Wait a minute, Lord God, this is a misunderstanding!"

Fear filled their chests at that moment, and some scholars struggled in panic, "I did this all for the Ice Vein Snowfield, and I never did anything sorry to you!"

"——That's right." Mercer looked at them with no mercy at all: "I don't need you for the so-called Ice Vein Snowfield, I want you to be loyal to me, that's all."

After saying that, he turned to look at everyone: "You must not slack off in what I want you to do, and you must not disobey what I have explicitly prohibited. Understand your identity. After all, you are all slaves conquered by me. Only the capable can break away from this identity - watch out, if you disobey my orders, this is what you will end up with!"

The next moment, black mist filled the air, and black tentacles visible to the naked eye twisted and poured into their mouths and noses. The group of people howled in pain, and some scholars stretched out their arms to Mercer: "——Lord God... ..Let me go! I can help you, my knowledge...Ah! Stop! I can serve you wholeheartedly..."

"--unnecessary."

Then, their pleas were interrupted by Mercer's cold words. Under everyone's horrified eyes, those people were covered in black mist and covered with black scales. When the black mist slowly dissipated, these people The newly born black man got up from the ground, looking at his hands covered with black scales and screaming helplessly and in terror.

Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts were filled with fear. They looked at the black man in front of them with their eyes wide open, and their whole bodies were shaking violently.

Some people with fragile psychological endurance cannot even suppress the fear in their hearts and become incontinent on the spot.

——The fear of watching the scales of the same kind break out of the body and turn into another kind of monster that is similar to oneself but completely different is unparalleled.

"I don't want it to happen again."

After Mercer finished speaking calmly, he spread his wings and left.

People looked at each other, and some scholars stiffened their bodies. After looking at the red phoenix for a long time, they could no longer think of studying the red phoenix.

......

——Preparations for the Red Phoenix have been going on for half a year. After many decisions, the instrument for reversing the energy of the earth veins was placed at the crater.

The tools for extracting earth vein energy have been completed. After choosing to use refractory materials, Mercer brought Red Phoenix to the crater.

He was holding the Nirvana Stone Chain in one hand, and what was bound by the chain was the immobile Red Phoenix. At this time, various parts of its body were equipped with instruments for extracting earth vein energy, and were connected to extremely thick cables.

"Wow!"

The red phoenix struggled, but with its whole body bound by chains, it had no room to exert force and could only cry out in anger.

It had already felt its next fate, and it was precisely because of this that it stared at Mercer.

Mercer came to the crater, raised the chain and looked at Hong Huang: "I have already given you a chance."

"Wow—"

Hong Huang's insults haven't stopped since she woke up. Although limited by culture, her aggression was limited, but Mercer took the initiative to block her voice.

"Don't worry, I won't imprison you forever, just think of it as a sleep."

Faced with the curse of the red phoenix, Mercer let go of his hand and let it fall from the edge of the volcano and be swallowed up by the lava.

Watching the lava gradually return to calm, Mercer turned around and waved his hand, "Continue."

The scholars behind him nodded repeatedly after hearing this and continued their work.

——Red Phoenix has been temporarily suppressed. Next, Mo Selian only needs to wait for the energy of the earth veins to reverse, so that he can have some breathing space... It's strange.

Mercer knew that his enemies would only increase in number, and he would have no time to rest until he clearly gained the power to defeat the natural disaster.

Because of this, he is fully imagining ways to improve his power.

If you want to improve your strength, all you can do is improve it by letting energy tear the muscles and repair them, but this is too slow, and what you lack most is time.

As for energy breathing... The natural disasters I have to face are the best in this field. Just having a breath for the application of earth vein energy is enough. Going up, I will face the natural disasters that are rushing towards me. field, which is not good for oneself.

In deep thought, Mercer opened his eyes and seemed to have thought of something.

So there is only one method now - technology.

Chapter 298: Surveillance

......

On the edge of the crater, in a research institute that has transferred resources from the floating island, a group of scientific researchers are immersed in research.

——After all, it is Floating Island No. [-], so many technologies existed before the [Catastrophe] and are still well preserved.

Cables were connected here from outside the house and poured into an instrument in the center.

The people present were silent, adjusting the instruments in front of them.

After a long silence, a researcher finally couldn't help but said: "Team leader..."

"Tell me." A serious researcher said from the side.

"Do we really want to reverse the energy of the earth veins? After all, this is an unformed technology, and there is great uncertainty no matter how you look at it..." the slightly younger researcher whispered.

The surrounding scientific researchers did not speak, but they could detect a moment of hesitation, and their attention was attracted by these words.

"..." After hearing this, the serious scientific researchers were silent for a while, but did not stop their work: "... No matter what, we cannot disobey Lord Black Dragon's order."

Speaking of this, a trace of fear appeared in everyone's eyes.Obviously, the scene of a living human being transformed into a black descendant whose body and even mind are enslaved by the black dragon is really horrifying.

The serious researcher Yu also noticed the reluctance in his tone after saying this again, and quickly changed his words:

"...and in any case, it is confirmed that the reversed leyline energy has the ability to suppress the power of natural disasters. Moreover, the research institute also conducted research on this for a period of time and found that there was nothing in a short period of time. Negative impact."

"——That's only for a short time."

Another elderly researcher suddenly interrupted. He adjusted the instrument silently with a straight face, but his accuracy and speed were obviously faster than everyone around him.

He was working while talking: "It is said that the energy of the earth's veins is the source of all life. Reversing the energy of the earth's veins may also be detrimental to us living in it."

"..."

After hearing these words, everyone fell silent, except for the old scientific researcher who still did not stop moving.

At this age, he is already open-minded. Even if he understands the news, what can he do? All he can do is listen to Cong. From this perspective, maybe it is the right choice for him not to tell everyone the news.

When the serious scientific researcher saw this scene, he also took a deep breath: "Okay, don't stop, keep going."

"......it is good."

The researchers responded, and there was an air of doldrums in the house.

......

On the other side, not far from the ice and snow fields, a spaceship floated in the sky, and the people on the ship observed the island below.

But if you look carefully, you can find that what people are looking at is not an island, but a giant beast covered entirely in sea mud, with only a small part of its body exposed.

——Shortly after learning about the news about earth energy, Mercer released the authority regarding this technology, allowing most high-level scholars to know this information.

Because of this, based on the floating island's experience in exploring the earth's energy extraction station, scholars have developed small instruments for detecting earth's energy. Such machines already exist, but they are too large to be carried and are rare in number. , has only now been streamlined.

"The fluctuations of earth vein energy... are very strong! This natural disaster contains powerful energy. If all of it is released, even the ice veins and snowfields in the distance will be affected!"

After confirming for a long time, one person turned around and said anxiously.

"What will be the consequences if it is affected?" the captain on the side asked nervously.

"It depends on the situation, but it won't be very good!" The man said with a solemn face, "Maybe the ecology of the Ice Vein Snowfield will be completely disrupted. It will be cold for a while and hot for a while. In such an environment, all living things will It’s very difficult to survive—but this is still the most ideal situation. If you are not careful, the entire ice vein snow field and even the floating island will be completely destroyed.”

Upon hearing this, the captain looked uneasy and turned to look at the scholar on the side.

The scholar was also embarrassed, but he still waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about it, our task is just to record this information and tell Lord Black Dragon that if we want to go to war with it, we must move this natural disaster to a farther location. .”

"...Understood." Hearing this, the captain sighed, "Then, shall we return now?"

"Ah."

So the spacecraft slowly flew into the distance, but the island floating on the sea remained motionless, as if it was not a living thing at all.

——When the spaceship returned to the ice-veined snowfield and was slowly descending from the volcano, Rachel was reporting the situation in front of Mercer.

"——According to the spacecraft we sent out, we learned that the remaining floating islands have completely shifted their directions and blocked their forward routes. Presumably, each floating island has entered a state of blockade, and there is no communication between them. Know where the other person is.”

Rachel put down the document in her hand and said.Mercer in front of her pondered for a while and then made a low voice: "In that case, let them disguise themselves as a hunting group. If they meet other hunters, just ask them. There is no need to spend a lot of time sending people there now." found."

His current goal is the Xingzhou Dragon that is right in front of him. Before that, he can only temporarily put aside the matters on other floating islands and keep them in mind.

For me now, the only thing that is more difficult is Floating Island No. [-]. As one of the first three floating cities built during the [Catastrophe] period, it carries a large amount of gunpowder.

Fortunately, I used this method when attacking Floating Island No. [-]. Otherwise, if I appeared directly near them, I would have to spend a lot of effort to get to the top. During this period, when I logged into the floating island I'm afraid people have already made preparations to evacuate, and the effect of the attack may not be as effective as Mercer's hiding.

Mercer thought and looked at the people who were coming off the landing spaceship:

"It's you, have you got any news?"

"Yes, yes, Lord Kami."

Whenever he looks at the black dragon, the captain will think of the scene of the black dragon breaking out of the ship that day, and can't help but adopt a humble attitude.

He respectfully told Mercer what he had seen without reservation. After listening, the expression on the black dragon's face did not change much, but he nodded as expected.

"I will pay attention, you can go."

Chapter 299: Unknown energy

......

"The recorder confirmed startup and started the third ignition."

At the edge of the volcano, scientific researchers stood outside the institute's hut, looking at the shining column in the center of the house.

——This is a replica of the floating island's energy storage device. After improvement, it can also be used to release the reversed leyline energy.

Near the house, Mercer and others also stayed here, quietly watching the scene in front of them.

Due to the uncertainty of the reversal of ley line energy, people's workplaces have also moved from inside the house to outside, trying to use this distance to resist the influence of the reversal energy.

After putting on protective clothing and goggles, the scientific researchers debugged the machine placed outside the house. After a while, an elderly scientific researcher pressed the button in front of him after confirming with others.

buzzing-

The next moment, the radiant column vibrated, and a subtle and continuous sound reached everyone's ears.

Their expressions remained unchanged, and they already knew the next steps - this was the reaction that occurred when the cylinder was activated. As for whether they could successfully absorb and reverse the earth vein energy, it still depends on the next reaction.

Then, the light of the column began to become more dazzling, and they suddenly became excited after seeing this.

The light of the column became more and more dazzling, and the sound became more intense.But soon, the energy dimmed instantly, and even the voice became quiet.

After sweeping away the disappointed expressions of everyone, Mercer stared at the column again, his expression unchanged.

Perhaps because of the leyline energy in his body, he reacted more acutely to the inside of the column.

He could feel that an indescribable reaction was happening rapidly from the ring.

"This......"

The researcher was about to open his mouth and prepare to enter the room for inspection. However, the next moment, the hairs of everyone present stood on end.

--call!

It was as if a ripple spread rapidly from the center of the hut, swept through everyone's bodies, and surged outward.

Mercer's pupils also narrowed at that moment, feeling the energy in his body being disordered.

There was no large-scale light or deafening sound, but something was clearly spreading all the energy in just a few seconds, sweeping across the entire ice-veined snowfield and even beyond.
