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

But in fact, it only takes a day for the scale to completely grow back. In Mercer's opinion, it is a worthless thing.

In the final analysis, Mercer did not pay any price at all, which was equivalent to obtaining the obedience of these humans.

The next moment, a voice sounded from the brain:

[They begin to accept your existence, even if you have never paid anything to them - obtain an extraction function. 】

Chapter 80: Breath Strengthening

Can it be extracted again?

Mercer did not answer immediately, but came to the crater.

——Originally, there should have been a large piece of volcanic rock blocking the lava from contacting the sky above, but after being smashed by the Red Phoenix, the lava in the crater was exposed to the air.

At the same time, during his battle with Red Phoenix, the vibrations caused the terrain inside the volcano to change to a certain extent.

This resulted in several stone slabs floating on top of the fiery crater lava.

Mercer fell from the sky and stopped on a stone slab.

After confirming that this huge stone slab could support his own weight, Mercer began to answer in his heart:

"extract"

[Extracting... The extraction is successful and the skill is obtained: Breath Strengthening. 】

Breath strengthening?Isn't there already a fire breath?

This thought flashed through his mind, and then his brows relaxed - no matter what, this is good news. I wonder if it is because the fire resistance of living things in this area has improved after coming to the volcano. , Mercer felt that his breathing was gradually failing.The most effective use is to use flame eruptions as smoke bombs to cover up one's movements.

After all, in terms of temperature alone, his flame is not as hot as lava. How can it be compared with this group of creatures that can live in lava.

Later, when Mercer was ready to feel pain, unexpected severe pain came from all parts of his body.

Mercer opened his eyes wide at that moment and gritted his teeth.

what is happening!

The expected pain should come from his throat, but this time the most severe pain was in his chest, followed by other parts of his body.

Mercer covered his throat and roared. Under his feeling, the three sac-like organs in his throat slowly disappeared, and the breath liquid in them merged deeper into the body.

That flow...is a blood vessel? !

Mercer's pupils narrowed, feeling the breath liquid blend into his blood vessels, turning into a brand new component and flowing with the blood.

Plop, plop, plop...

The heart is beating violently, pumping the new substances in the blood to all parts of the body.

Subsequently, the original location of the breath organ was connected to the nearby blood vessels, and the blood was filtered to extract only the newly added breath liquid.

"Roar......"

Mercer finally couldn't bear it any longer. He opened his mouth and spit out a fireball with a low growl.

boom!

——At first, it was just a spherical liquid wrapped in flames. From the outside, it looked the same as a fireball.

But when it hit the mountain wall, the liquid in the fireball naturally splashed around, and the breath liquid splashed around, sticking to the mountain wall and burning.

"This......"

Mercer looked at the flames on the mountain wall in disbelief, watching the liquids slide downwards along with the gravity, and the flames also extended downwards.

He was silent for a while, then raised his hand and breathed a mouthful of flame into his palm.

The flames stick to the palms of the hands, and even rubbing the palms against each other only makes the flames burn over a larger area on the body.

Even when Mercer put his hand into the lava and stretched it out again, the flames were still burning.

Does this also prove that this viscous flame cannot be extinguished even by water?

No, it's more than that... The newly grown auxiliary scales on Mercer's arms made a sizzling sound under the burning of the flames, and then the breath liquid that adhered to his arms was like hot oil dipped in water. , exploding in all directions.

The fire expanded again, and Mercer's face was also stained with a few drops of flame, burning slowly.

However, I don’t know why. Mercer was not harmed by the flames. In other words, the moment the flames touched his skin, the flames slowly extinguished as if they recognized their master.

Seeing this, Mercer nodded with satisfaction and fully felt his body.

He raised his head, spread his wings and flew away from here, soaring in the air.

By controlling the contraction of his throat muscles, Mercer can turn his breath liquid into mist or liquid and spray it out. This means that the large-area fan-shaped fire, flame rays and fireballs that hit the enemy in a straight line are no longer available. Losing and even gaining a more sophisticated controllable range undoubtedly made his strength even higher.

Not only that, the capacity of the flame breath has also been increased a lot, but this is also normal.The containers for the breath liquid used to be the three sac-like organs in Mercer's throat, but now, the containers have turned into blood vessels all over Mercer's body.

When using them, Mercer can filter them out of the blood and turn them into powerful and manic flames; but when not using them, they pose no threat to Mercer, because when this breath liquid mixes with the ink When Mercer's blood fuses, it becomes completely non-threatening and will not burn even when exposed to the air - perhaps this is the real reason why the flame will not burn when it touches Mercer's skin.

Even at this moment, Mercer felt an indescribable excitement in the muscles in his body, which brought Mercer relief from pain, fatigue, and increased output.

——Such a joyful improvement made Mercer roar uncontrollably and fly happily in the sky.

After a while, Mercer slowly landed and returned to the desert.

Back in the mountains where the wolfhounds lived, facing Mercer who returned with scars all over his body, Lika leaned in and sniffed a few times, with a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.

It didn't understand why its leader had been injured so intensively after leaving for less than a day, but since its brain couldn't think of such a complicated thing, it stepped aside and let Mercer enjoy the juice on the stone. food.

Today's food is all food that is good at catching, such as herbivorous dragons and crocodiles. From the wolf dogs resting in the cave, we can know that after catching the food, they returned to the cave to rest, and some of them were still licking it. Wound.

It seems that some of them were injured in the battle with the sand centipede, so they are so calm.

However, Mercer didn't care about the severity of their injuries, but it was a pity that they didn't go out to patrol the territory, otherwise they might have encountered a good show - Mercer was talking about the scene of him fighting the red phoenix.

Mercer lowered his head and ate the food in large gulps, feeling the fullness of the food in his belly. Although he had not experienced this feeling of fullness for a long time since he had [Super Digestion], his body instinctively began to crave for the recovery of the wound. The feeling of satiation also allowed Mercer to relax his tense muscles during the battle.

He looked around. The number and strength of the wolfdogs allowed them to live smoothly in the desert. At the same time, the obedience of the humans also allowed Mercer to replenish metal more abundantly.

Everything is developing slowly, and then, only time is left for my powerful request to brew.

Chapter 81: Direwolf Dragon Group

......

During this season, the temperature in the desert continues to rise, and many species begin to gather around the waterholes.

Upstream, carnivorous creatures and vegetarian creatures gather separately, lowering their heads to moisten their dry throats, and do not invade each other.

Downstream, there is a bathing place for a large number of species. They soak their bodies in the water to wash away the heat stored in the sun.

Only then did the crocodiles living in the pool dare not invade, and hid in the depths of the pool and stared at them.

——An unruly crocodile quietly lurked into the shallow water, trying to drag an antelope in and out.

The antelope suddenly let out a miserable scream, and the creatures in the shallow water suddenly became commotion.

Beside the antelope, a huge earth dragon was frightened by the commotion and mistakenly thought that the crocodile was threatening it. It instinctively raised its legs and trampled the crocodile under its feet.

This earth dragon is a big guy, 15 meters long, and covered with a thick carapace.

The earth dragon has a gentle personality and is an omnivorous creature that is mainly vegetarian. The only meat is the game fish that is only eaten in spring: a mature earth dragon will not eat meat unless necessary, but usually the earth dragon in this season will eat meat. It is the time when the dragon cubs are growing up, so they will come to the lower reaches of the stream to catch a large number of fish and bring them back to supplement the nutrition of the cubs.

Likewise, they are particularly sensitive to aggressive presence, and when they sense a fight nearby, they will join in as if provoked.

The heavy body overwhelmed the crocodile, causing it to immediately let go of the antelope and struggle painfully under the water.

After a while, the turbulent water surface calmed down, and the earth dragon also regained its composure, cleaning its body as if nothing had happened.

After a while, after all the other creatures had finished cleaning and left the place, the huge earth dragons left the slow pool of water. It was also for this reason that they became the backing of many creatures when they were bathing. He is like a "big brother" to weak creatures.

It slowly left here, and the hot sunlight shone on its body, drying up the water clinging to its carapace.

But in fact, in the gaps in its carapace, there is a water storage organ similar to the dorsal peak, which can squeeze out water when it is dry and flow in the gaps in the carapace to keep the body moist at all times.

...Because of this, it has become a source of water flow for a small number of organisms.

——The earth dragon walked mindlessly, but little did he know that its every move was being observed by the "short" creature.

On the wind-eroded mountain wall on the side, the dark red hair was swaying in the wind, revealing the black lines in it, and the dark yellow eyes were staring at the earth dragon.

That's a direwolf dragon.

It is nine and a half meters long and has a strong build. It is covered with large and small scars all over its body, which are medals that prove that it has experienced hundreds of battles.

It can be seen from its sharp claws and thick fangs that this dire wolf dragon is in its prime, the peak moment of its lifespan.

It cautiously peeped at the earth dragon and lurked patiently.

Gradually, the location of the earth dragon has become remote, and there are no longer any living creatures nearby.

Finally, the Dire Wolf Dragon raised its head and let out a rapid howl, which was the horn of attack.

"Ouch-"

"Ow!"

Soon, similar sounds sounded from not far away.

When the earth dragon reacted and looked at the terrible wolf dragon, it had already leaned down and started running quickly in the desert. It took less than two seconds for the body's acceleration to go from standstill to full speed.

In the blink of an eye, it jumped up high and climbed onto the back of the earth dragon. Its sharp claws were fixed on the carapace on its body, and its thick teeth bit the carapace on the back of its neck.

It can be seen that this direwolf dragon has a lot of experience. Although there is a carapace on the back of the earth dragon's neck, it is relatively less thick than the back of the head and limbs.

But even so, it was not easy for a Dire Wolf Dragon to destroy that part of the carapace, so it did not do so. Instead, it fixed itself on it and was in a stalemate with the Earth Dragon.

"hold head high--"

The earth dragon made a long cry and called out to its kind.

Then, as the surrounding sand spread, three larger earth dragons stood up from the desert.

They do this to resist the sun's scorching heat, and can often lie down for several days, making it difficult for even a direwolf to detect their presence.

Under the impact of an earth dragon, it was thrown off its back and landed on the sand.

Feeling the pain in its waist, the direwolf dragon's eyes became fierce.

A nine-meter-long dire wolf dragon faced four larger earth dragons. It was an unfavorable situation for it no matter how it looked at it.

However, it did not panic at all, but lowered its body and exposed its fangs towards them.

"Ow!"

Soon, the same kind of Dire Wolf Dragon caught up, their blood-red hair flying with the movements, and the dense group seemed to form a blood-red wave.

The dust slowly rose, and the sound of intensive running from the ground made the four earth dragons start to move uneasily.

——More than thirty Dire Wolf Dragons appeared on the sand dunes, staring at the earth dragons with fierce eyes and tightly surrounding them.

The leading wolf dragon stared at them, and the situation was reversed in an instant.

It first let out a low roar, and then it was the first to pounce.

Its behavior turned into a signal to charge, and the other Direwolf Dragons swooped forward, grabbed their limbs, and bit them crazily.

The bloody wave drowned them, and no creature could survive here.

It wasn't even a fight, it was just a hunt.In the blink of an eye, four living creatures fell to the ground and turned into fresh corpses.

The leader of the Dire Wolf Dragon licked his shoulder. This was the bruise left by an earth dragon just now, and now it has turned into one of the dense scars.

The other Dire Wolf Dragons did not move, only it stepped forward and bit open the earth dragon's chest.

The most nutritious part of an earth dragon's body is its heart. It tears out the heart, chews it up together with the surrounding fresh flesh and blood, and swallows it into its belly.

The same was true for the rest of the earth dragon corpses. The most precious parts were monopolized by it, and it didn't stop until its belly bulged.

After finishing eating, the other Dire Wolf Dragons surrounded him and gnawed on various parts of the Earth Dragon one after another.

When the group reaches a certain number, they are born with a knowledge of class status. Some high-status direwolf dragons eat the internal organs of the earth dragon. As for some of the lowest status, they can only work together to bite open the earth dragon's carapace and gnaw on the earth dragon's internal organs. Back muscles.

After a while, they left here in a mighty manner.

Some direwolf dragons didn't eat much food, but that didn't matter. When the group didn't go out collectively, they could only starve.

——Soon, they returned to their territory.

There were still more than ten pregnant women and cubs left in the territory. Seeing the arrival of the group, several pregnant women began to twitch their noses.

The leader of the Terror Wolf Dragon stepped forward and came to these pregnant women. It opened its mouth, and with the sound of vomiting, a pool of muddy meat spit out from its mouth.
