The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　"Sinard Village, that wind village atop the mountain, what kind of monster has appeared there?"

　The dragon-woman's interest was immediately piqued. "Ahem, decades ago, a hunter ended the cycle of light and darkness there and created a legend. But not long ago, the cycle started again. This time, no one could stop that monster. The Hunter's Guild seems to call it Huihui? No, it's Huishizhu."

　"Heavenly Returning Dragon?"

　"No, no, no, it's no longer an ordinary Sky Dragon. According to the Dragon Elders and the New World Ancient Dragon Survey Team, it was born in the New World and was discovered and recorded by the New World Ancient Dragon Survey Team. After reaching the molting stage, it returned to Sky Mountain to molt. It is said that the Sky Dragon also has the ability to manipulate the energy of the ley lines and absorb the power of the ley lines to grow. The hunters present at the time were completely helpless against it. Therefore, some people speculate that the purpose of the guild in gathering these hunters was to go and hunt down this Sky Dragon."

　"Before coming to Dragon Academy, I wanted to meet the legendary hunters from Kokot Village, Pokai Village, and Yukumo Village. I didn't expect they were all called away by the Hunter's Guild. If I collect all their autographs, my classmates will definitely be so jealous of me."

　The next day, Graham shuttled between the Hunter's Guild Hall, the Ancient Dragon Observatory, familiar hunters, and the eccentric foreman who crafted weapons for hunters, meticulously investigating information about the Nargacuga. While at the Hunter Academy, Graham had visited the Ancient Forest once, but the information he gathered from that trip was far from sufficient for hunting, such as information on mining locations.

　The flora and fauna that inhabit the area, as well as the ecological environment, all need to be re-investigated.

　After resting for a day, Graham chose to strengthen his protective gear, specifically the Blue Bear Beast armor made from Blue Bear Beast materials. By the time Graham returned to Berna Village after hunting Blue Bear Beasts, it was already late at night. People strolling in the central square and making noise in the tavern were still coming and going as usual.

　Graham spotted some familiar yet unfamiliar faces in the tavern. To explain why they were unfamiliar, Graham had never seen them before, but seeing that group of people, Graham felt like he had seen them somewhere before. Finally, Graham remembered who these people were: members of the legendary guild.

　Legend has it that the hunter not only ended the cycle of light and darkness, but also saved Dondorma from the clutches of the ancient dragons twice. One time, he fought off the Steel Dragon with the ace hunter Julius, and the other time, he successfully intercepted the Giant Trident Dragon of the War Dragon God. These deeds earned the respect of the elders for the hunters of the guild.

　However, judging from the fact that there were only two Phantom Troupe hunters at the scene, it seems that the Phantom Troupe hunter was on vacation, and that hunter and the Phantom Troupe leader were not together.

　While chatting with the Phantom Troupe hunters, they also noticed Graham's curiosity about them. After all, since the Phantom Troupe hunters became famous, "our group" has also become well-known, and many hunters are curious about the Phantom Troupe. So the Phantom Troupe hunters generously told Graham to ask them directly.

　"Did you also come to Bernard Village after hearing about that reincarnated being?"

　"The Lord of Returning Worlds? We have indeed heard of him, but the reason he was summoned by the Hunter's Guild was not because of the Lord of Returning Worlds. It is said that Bai Feng from the New World Ancient Dragon Investigation Team and several hunters from Barbareye are investigating the Lord of Returning Worlds."

　Upon hearing this, Graham was somewhat puzzled. What kind of monster could possibly require so many legendary hunters to investigate?

　Graham had no idea of ​​the answer to this question, but he was certain that whoever was able to hunt that monster would one day be able to be compared to the legends.

　Volume 1: Chapter 327 - The Hunter's Legendary Package

　Berna Village, Xilongyang.

　"Splash!" The sea dragon used its powerful hind legs and broad tail to burst out of the sea and walk towards the beach.

　As one of the dominant species in the marine ecosystem, female seadragons choose to lay their eggs on the beach after nightfall once they become pregnant. The female seadragon will first find a secluded spot, then dig a pit in the sand and lay the eggs in it. Finally, she will cover the eggs with sand and return to the sea after completing the egg-laying process.

　The sun and sand help female seadragons hatch their young, but some less skilled female seadragons may have their eggs dug up and eaten by shield crabs or pterosaurs because they are buried in obvious places. After the baby seadragons hatch, the male seadragons will come to the beach to drive away the predators in order to protect them from being preyed upon by pterosaurs, shield crabs, and pterosaurs on their way to the ocean.

　But this careless young female seadragon made a fatal mistake. She actually started choosing a place to lay her eggs during the day. Seadragons on land are much slower than those in water, so by the time the female seadragon noticed the blackish-purple scales spreading from the ground, it was too late to escape. The World Lord jumped out from the side, slightly raised its front paws, and then bit the seadragon with all its might.

　After being bitten on the neck, the female seadragon immediately twisted her body desperately in an attempt to fight back, while retracting the electric shell on her back to prepare to release electricity. However, the Wanderer would not give her this opportunity. It extended its wing claws, grabbed the seadragon, and twisted its neck off. The flashing electricity on the purple wing claws proved that the current was useless.

　Just as the Lord of the World was about to tear off the sea dragon's skin, a group of shield crabs suddenly appeared. They originally intended to wait for the sea dragon to lay its eggs before feasting on them, but they never expected that they would end up filling the stomachs of others.

　Shield Crab Eating Guide: Grab the shield crab and throw it onto a nearby rock before eating.

　Hui Shi Zhu lifted the crab shell, then cleaned the gill glands from the shield crab's belly, and then put it directly into his mouth, crunching and chewing. Hui Shi Zhu really liked the taste of the shield crab. Lan Mei, who was next to him, also found the fattest shield crab. After lifting the shell, she saw the plump crab roe and white crab meat inside.

　After a group of shield crabs were eaten up, Hui Shi Zhu prepared to deal with the sea dragon. Just then, a strange, shuttle-shaped shadow suddenly appeared above Hui Shi Zhu and Lan Mei's heads.

　"Whoosh!" Silvery-white scales reflected the sunlight as it sped past, its enormous and swift wings slicing through the sea of ​​clouds, leaving a dazzling trail of burning red dragon energy in the azure sky.

　The Lord of Reincarnation curiously raised his head to look at the silvery-white creature, but unexpectedly, the creature rushed straight towards the sea dragon's corpse placed to the side.

　The Lord of Reincarnation had never seen any living creature snatch its prey from its mouth. Its crimson-gold pupils were fixed on the silver-white dragon. After determining the direction in which the silver-white dragon would land, the Lord of Reincarnation spat out three balls of the Mad Dragon Virus at the dragon's corpse.

　Just as the silver-white dragon was about to seize the sea dragon's corpse, the Mad Dragon Virus Sphere exploded. The violent explosion caused the silver-white dragon to lose its balance, and just as it was about to fall to the ground, it quickly regained its balance. Its six wings emitted red dragon energy, allowing it to hover in mid-air. The silver-white dragon then folded its wings and charged towards the sea dragon's corpse again.

　"Roar~" Hui Shi Zhu jumped back. She felt that this guy had gone too far. Hui Shi Zhu angrily stretched out her wing claws and pounced on the sea dragon's corpse. After grabbing the sea dragon's corpse before the silver-white dragon could reach it, Hui Shi Zhu instantly spun 180 degrees with her wing claws as the center, used Iron Mountain Lean, and slammed the silver-white dragon away with her side.

　The dragon crashed into the thick, white-gold scales of the Reincarnation Lord, and its silver-white, blade-like carapace shattered into glittering fragments. Judging from its scent and size, the Reincarnation Lord judged that this creature was about the same age as itself. However, the Reincarnation Lord would not let go of the scoundrel who dared to steal its things.

　It was just a poor hunter and starving, so it tried to eat something, but the Lord of Reincarnation wanted to eat it.

　The Reincarnation Lord stretched out its wing claws and swept across the ground, accumulating the Mad Dragon Virus before slamming it down on the silver-white dragon. The silver-white dragon clearly lacked combat experience, and in a panic, it spewed out dragon energy and retreated. The Reincarnation Lord then sprayed a large amount of Mad Dragon Virus onto the ground. Although the Mad Dragon Virus could not infect the silver-white dragon, the excessive scale powder adhering to its respiratory tract would reduce its breathing efficiency.

　The Wanderer's wing claws swept across and grabbed the silver-white dragon's wing foot, slamming it to the ground. Then, the Wanderer bit the silver-white dragon's tail, and a sticky, foul-smelling substance similar to kerosene made the Wanderer immediately release it.

　vomit!

　unpalatable!

　It tastes terrible!

　The Lord of Reincarnation showed an o_O expression. This half-grown male Sky Comet Dragon, which was obviously just leaving home to prepare for independence, couldn't wait to ignite its dragon energy and leave quickly after the Lord of Reincarnation lost interest in it. After taking off, the silver-white dragon quickly surpassed the speed of sound and disappeared into the horizon. On its way back to its nest, it unexpectedly caught a water beast.

　"cheers!"

　From morning till night, the pub in Bernard village is always full of customers drinking and having fun. In one corner of the pub, a few young people shouted and clinked their metal beer mugs together.

　The little girl wobbled as she picked up a wine glass thicker than her arm. Thick foam and golden beer splashed from the glass, spilling onto the food below, causing the perfectly grilled meat to sizzle. The dish served on a large plate was grilled dragon tail meat with king mushrooms, accompanied by a sauce made with royal cheese and frosted tomatoes.

　This dish was originally a special dish that only hunters with a hunter level of 30 or above and who have a rank of Champion or Hero, meaning they can stay in the King's Suite, could order. However, the Palico chef believed that the young girl who had brought a Rathalos and a Seadra to this place was absolutely worthy of this dish. As for how the Rathalos came about, she had encountered it on the way back to the village and killed it on the way.

　Tanya glanced at the side and behind the bar, where two dragon-human girls, one older and one younger, were sitting and eating. Tanya was a little curious about the two girls, so she turned to Gaunt and said, "Gaunt, look what they're eating?"

　Gaunt brought the beer mug to his lips and gulped down the bitter beer. "Hoo!" As he caught his breath, Gaunt slammed the metal mug back onto the table with a "clang," as if smashing it. As a craftsman among the hunters of the Phantom Troupe, Gaunt was already very good at controlling his power, but such things still happened from time to time.

　Moreover, although they were both logistics personnel in the guild supporting the hunters, Gaunt wore Diablos armor and Tanya wore Rathian armor. Such armor bearing the name of a flying dragon can be seen as a symbol of strength for hunters.

　"That's a set meal that only legendary hunters can order. If you want to eat it, just order it. If you don't have enough money, I'll give you some."

　"Oh dear, what are you talking about? What I mean is that the Dragon Academy hunter Graham we met yesterday had never tried the Legendary Set Meal, but those two dragongirls can already order it. Don't you think that's interesting?"

　Gunter slapped his forehead, realizing it was true. At that moment, the eldest sister of the dragon race came to the two of them with a large glass of beer. "What's wrong? Are you interested in Alan and Xiaoguang, or Graham? Don't worry, they're both very nice. Graham is probably hunting velociraptors right now. Oh, good evening, Alan and Xiaoguang."

　Hearing the call from the eldest sister of the dragon race, Lanmei waved in their direction, and the eldest sister of the dragon race followed suit, leading Tanya and Gaunt to the table where the young girl and Lanmei were sitting.

　PS: First update!

　PS2: Geographically speaking, Australia is surrounded by ocean on all sides and is a large country.

　As an isolated island, Britain has preserved many original species, including plants and animals. Although bagpipes are considered a symbol of Scotland, this very ancient instrument was actually brought to the island by the ancient Romans.

　Volume 1: Chapter 328 - Dragon Energy and Gas Station

　The little girl had just finished a large glass of beer, letting out a satisfied, childish sound, her lips covered in a ring of foam, which she herself didn't even notice. "Xiaoguang, you have foam on your lips," Lanmei reminded the little girl to wipe her mouth clean. However, the little girl leaned her face onto the table. "Wipe it yourself," Lanmei sighed, using the napkin in her hand to wipe the foam from her lips.

　Of course, the little girl wouldn't listen. She proudly squinted her eyes and continued to enjoy the food in front of her. The little girl gripped the knife and stabbed it into the dragon tail steak. A few strands of red meat juice flowed out. She used a fork to cut the bone off the tail part. During this process, the king mushrooms that were soaked in meat juice emitted an even richer aroma. Smelling the aroma, the little girl "whooshed" and stuffed it into her mouth.

　This must be what you call the feeling of drooling; almost every hunter sitting near this table couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.

　Tanya asked with interest, "Hello, are you two hunters?"

　"Hunters, I suppose you could call them that. And you are?"

　"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Tanya, the artisan of our guild. I'm from Naguli Village, and I aspire to become a craftswoman. Oh, and this is the artisan, Gaunt."

　"Hello, I'm A-Lan, and this is Xiao-Guang. Sorry, she's not very interested in strangers."

　Tanya shook her head dismissively and said, "We're just kids. We decided to come here for a vacation after hearing that Berna Village was a village adorned with wind and grass. After arriving, I was attracted by the majestic mountains and plateaus, the beautiful scenery, and the leisurely life. If it weren't for the captain insisting on staying in Barbare, I would really like to stay here forever."

　Lanmei nodded in agreement. Tanya noticed the Hunter's Guild information book in Lanmei's hand, glanced at it curiously, and said, "You're looking at this? Let me see, it's information on Balfaruk."

　"Barfaruk?" The young girl and Lanmei looked at Tanya in confusion.

　"It's the Sky Comet Dragon. Our captain likes to call it by its name, it seems to be a bad habit he learned from the Grand Elder."

　"Yeah, I saw this guy, he's a bad guy."

　In the beginning, the existence of the Sky Comet was not confirmed, and some scholars even believed that the Sky Comet had become extinct. However, after the aviation technology in Berna Village developed to a certain stage, the Hunter's Guild confirmed the existence of the Sky Comet.

　The reason is that an Palico exploration ship accidentally entered the territory of the Sky Comet and was smashed to pieces by the Sky Comet. Fortunately, there was a Dragon Ship nearby, which saved the Palicoes. So, you think you can run away after hitting the Dragon Academy's ship? Wait here in the Forgotten Mountains. The hunter is coming to your hometown to deliver explosive barrels.

　This was obviously a joke. After all, the Dragon Academy is a research institution and would not do anything like fighting. Their first priority was to work overtime to optimize and modify the design of the Dragon Knowledge Ship, increasing the strength of the hull to reduce losses during high-altitude exploration.

　As for the Sky Comet, its most distinctive feature is its completely unreasonable flight method. Its streamlined body is covered with silver scales and a sturdy shell. The strength of its scales is top-notch, and they will not be damaged even under the impact of the speed of sound. The scales have a high reflectivity to harmful ultraviolet rays, which is also the key to the Sky Comet's ability to survive at high altitudes for a long time. Its shell is particularly thick and has been charred by the dragon's aura over the years, giving it a dark texture. In ancient times, the Sky Comet's scales were mostly used for ceremonial items and were quite expensive.

　Occasionally, the Sky Comet's shell will break off due to the impact of its supersonic flight, and then fall to various parts of the world. These falling shells are like small meteorites, cratering the ground. However, this is not the reason why the Sky Comet is called "the embodiment of despair and calamity", "proof of an absolutely irresistible fate", and "an ominous sign that taints the earth with despair". This is naturally because if anyone invades the Sky Comet's territory, they will be punished by the lovely star flying into the sky.

　Moreover, ancient people had almost never seen a comet dragon. They only knew that when a comet streaked across the sky, accompanied by a powerful shockwave and dragon flames, all buildings on the ground were razed to the ground.

　What makes the Sky Comet so terrifying are its extremely unique and enormous wing-like feet, which have almost no wing membranes. This is because the Sky Comet cannot generate lift by flapping its wings; it can only generate enough force to throw bricks. Moreover, the Sky Comet's wing-like feet do not have any joints or bones. They are controlled by well-developed muscles and ligaments to rotate and stretch, which is why it can perform complex transformations in battle. This is the origin of its other name, the Gun Wing.

　The reason for its immense power lies in the dragon aura, a red flame-like energy produced within its body. The dragon aura is emitted from the tips of its wings, using the reaction force to gain the required speed and achieve supersonic flight. By finely adjusting its wings and feet, it can manipulate and control the angle and power of the dragon aura, enabling it to perform acrobatic maneuvers such as sudden stops and hovering, and also fire dragon aura cannons from a distance like a turret.

　To generate such dragon energy, the Heavenly Comet needs to draw in surrounding air into its lungs through numerous air intakes in its head and chest. Within its body, this air is transformed and refined into dragon energy by the Dragon Jade. The air passage runs from its head all the way to its wingtips, and is unidirectional, which significantly improves oxygen efficiency and wing cooling.

　Although the Sky Comet can generate dragon energy by inhaling air, air and dragon energy are clearly not the same substance. The process from air to dragon energy must involve the participation of some kind of dragon energy substance. According to scholars' speculation, the Sky Comet consumes a lot of energy by exhaling its breath, so it lives in areas with active dragon veins and travels the world like a migratory bird, following the activity of dragon veins. It is even said that if it is not in an area with active dragon veins, the Sky Comet cannot take off, that is, it cannot generate dragon energy.

　The Yiqunling Mountains are located in an area with a highly developed dragon vein. According to the investigators' analysis, the towering, columnar mountains of Yiqunling were pushed up by dragon energy. Furthermore, it is an indisputable fact that the mountains of Yiqunling have been growing continuously. At the top of the mountains, crimson dragon energy can be seen from the cracks in the mountains. As for the giant ancient trees near Yiqunling, the Ancient Dragon Observation Institute concluded that the dragon vein brought dragon energy, and the Tianhui Dragon followed the dragon vein to obtain dragon energy.

　After explaining all this, Tanya asked curiously, "Were you attacked by the Sky Comet Dragon?"

　The little girl quickly swallowed the meat chop in her mouth, waved her little hand, and said, "It tried to steal the light's meat, but the light chased it away."

　Tanya and Gaunt exchanged a glance, both somewhat confused as to what it meant to take the meat. Tanya clapped her hands, "You want to take away the prey you hunted? After all, it's a Tail Hammer Dragon."

　Lanmei closed the book and said with some curiosity, "Judging from what you're saying, you don't seem surprised at all about seeing the Heavenly Comet Dragon."

　"Well, we've never seen the Sky Comet Dragon before, but we've hunted the Sky Return Dragon before. Our group was originally scheduled to come to Berna Village for a vacation together, but the group leader and the hunter were both called away by the Dragon Academy, so it's just the two of us here on vacation."

　"The Heavenly Returning Dragon, then you should know about the recently appeared Returning World Lord, right?" Lan Mei glanced at the little girl and said softly.

　"Yes, we only recently learned about that monster that transcends the Dao of Reincarnation, but we've heard that the Reincarnation Lord is very different from ordinary Heavenly Reincarnation Dragons."

　The little girl shook her head and said, "No, I am who I am, I am not Tianhuilong."

　Tanya smiled, taking it as a child's joke. "Yes, yes, actually the hunter has been investigating the Spirit Mountain Dragon and a mysterious mission in Barbare, so he hasn't returned to Sinard Village. The mission is said to have been given to him by a red-robed poet, who told him to search for some kind of Dawn Death Star in the extremely cold and extremely hot places. The hunter still couldn't figure out what the poet was talking about."

　Lanmei, a veteran reader of Gu Long, knew the red-robed poet very well. She thought to herself, "What red-robed poet? He's probably just that hedgehog in human form. Why isn't this Elbertion staying in his own divine realm? What's he doing out here?"

　PS: Second update!

　PS2: Lighters were actually invented before matches. Although most cola we see today is black, it was originally green. Candles were frozen overnight before burning to make them burn longer.

　PS3: Well then, I wish you all a wonderful and pleasant day!

　Volume 1: 329 - Meeting with the Client

　The client for the urgent request was scheduled to arrive today, so Graham was already standing in front of the pub early in the morning.

　The early autumn morning was already a bit chilly. Graham stroked his newly crafted katana. His weapon had been upgraded from the villainous longsword to a stealth saber. Because it used the blade wings of a velociraptor as a mechanism, this stealth saber looked somewhat different from a traditional katana.

　While waiting for the person who commissioned the service, the little girl and Lanmei appeared in Graham's sight. After Lanmei greeted them, she led the little girl straight to the tavern counter and ordered two cat meals. A little while later, Tanya and Gaunt also arrived at the tavern.

　"Good morning. Even on your day off, you're up so early. You truly are a legendary Phantom Troupe hunter."

　Tanya seemed used to such praise and instead warmly invited Graham to have breakfast with her. Graham shook his head and said he would wait for the client who commissioned the mission. After asking for details, Tanya looked at Graham, who was standing in front of the tavern with a slightly nervous expression, and patted him on the shoulder.

　"Based on our previous experience, your partner this time is a stranger. It's impossible for you to become familiar immediately after meeting. First, you need to share information about the target and the hunting grounds. Plus, since they've come from afar, after meeting today, the hunt won't start until at least tomorrow, or even later. Okay?"

　"Let's go."

　Graham nodded and walked into the tavern with Tanya. Since it was still early, there were no customers in the tavern except for Lanmei and the little girl. In addition to them, there was a drunkard who was curled up in the corner of the wall and fast asleep, probably having been drinking since last night and sleeping there.

　While they were in the tavern, the entire village of Bernard gradually awoke.

　Hunters preparing to go hunting, hunters returning home looking weary, and ordinary residents and merchants all busied themselves, each with a cheerful expression, living happily. Whenever Graham saw these scenes, he felt that this was how the city should be.

　Built at the foot of the Yiqun Ridge, with steep cliffs as a natural barrier, the village of Berna boasts vast grasslands and lakes, a testament to the wisdom and hard work of humankind and the dragon people, blending seamlessly with nature.

　This is the village of Bernard.

　Just then, an old man and a child appeared in the village of Berna. The boy walking beside the old man kept looking back and forth with a curious gaze. The two of them walked forward, dividing the crowd in front of them into two halves.

　Indeed, as they walked, people naturally moved aside, not because they were afraid of hunters. In this city, hunting was a highly respected profession. Ordinary people were very friendly towards them and did not keep their distance.

　So what exactly are people on the street hiding from?

　In fact, behind the old man and the boy were two large flatbed trucks pulled by giant herbivorous dragons. As the villagers of Berna Village had seen, these trucks were about the same size as the vehicles used to transport large monsters, and it seemed that the boy and the old man had arrived in Berna Village in these trucks.

　Inside the tavern, Graham absentmindedly ate his fried rice while Tanya chatted with Lan Mei, "Speaking of which, where is Miss Lan Mei from?"

　"It should be Jieyun Village, but I came to travel with Xiaoguang a long time ago. We just arrived in Berna Village not long ago. On the way, we passed through Yanhuo Village and Xinade Village."

　The young girl caught the mention of Xinard Village and immediately looked up at Lanmei and Tanya. However, after looking around and finding nothing, she lowered her head and focused on finishing the large meat bun in her hand. Tanya said with a hint of regret, "Yukumo Village, I really want to go there and soak in the hot springs. But before coming to Berna Village, I heard that the hot springs in Yukumo Village were closed. Apparently, some kind of monster appeared and caused the water quality to be polluted, right, Gaunt?"

　Gangte nodded in agreement. Lanmei thought for a moment, then said, "I don't remember any monsters that could pollute the water. I hope it's nothing serious."

　"By the way, Miss Alan and the little one, what are your plans for today? Gunter and I are planning a picnic at the Remains Ridge. If you don't mind, would you like to join us?"

　Just as Lanmei was about to agree, two men dressed as hunters pushed open the door and walked into the empty tavern. Lanmei turned her head and looked over. "Is it them?"

　“Maybe, but I remember the request said there was only one person on the other end.” Tanya also noticed the old man and the young girl.

　Graham muttered a question in a low voice, then walked toward the two men. The old man and the boy, standing at the end of his line of sight, noticed Graham. Graham finally got a clear look at their faces as he got closer. One of them was older. The reason he could tell he was a hunter was because he was wearing a leather armor set and carrying a dragon bone hammer, which he found quite interesting.
